Chapter 97: The Great Martial Arts Tournament

After thinking clearly, Tang Yu turned to the two women and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you both. I'll leave it to you to keep an eye on him. If he makes a move, inform me immediately."

"Understood, Mr. Tang," both replied in unison.

"Also, once the Grand Martial Arts Tournament begins, I'll need you both to intervene. This time, we cannot let Ye Chen escape," Tang Yu added firmly.

Hearing that Tang Yu planned to kill Ye Chen, the two women nodded with enthusiasm and determination. Ye Chen's death would be the best revenge against the Dragon Soul organization.

After giving these instructions, Tang Yu called Wang Yixue and Wenren Yage one by one to coordinate their movements. This time, he would gather all his forces to take advantage of the Grand Martial Arts Tournament and eliminate Ye Chen once and for all. He couldn't allow Ye Chen to take control of the martial arts families in Su Hang, as that would endanger his own family.

"If I can't survive anyway, let's kill the son of fortune first!"

...

"In the days leading up, Ye Chen had followed Tang Yu's plan exactly. Using his worm control technique, he had subdued more than ten martial arts factions. Combined with his own power at the [Mystic] level, dominating these clans was not a challenge.

Of course, he not only made these groups pay for his control but also offered certain benefits in return. He gave them advice on their martial arts skills and helped cure their illnesses."

With everything arranged, Ye Chen eagerly awaited the day of the Grand Martial Arts Tournament. He planned to take advantage of the event to attack Lu Junzhuo and eliminate him on the spot.

If anyone wanted to challenge his position as Dragon King, they had to die.

As for what would happen if he killed him, Ye Chen was not worried. The elder had taught him since he was young that to achieve great things, one must be willing to do anything.

--------------------------------------------

Finally, the day of the Grand Tournament arrived.

As usual, this year's tournament was organized by the Liu family, so the event was held in the Liu family's gym.

As the second most influential family in the martial arts realm of Su Hang, the Liu family had considerable power.

They had three experts at the [Mystic] level and fourteen at the [Yellow] level.

Although they did not match the Wenren family in terms of strength, they were much more powerful compared to other families.

The entrance to the Liu family's gym was decorated with lights and banners to celebrate the tournament.

The martial arts factions of Su Hang arrived one after another.

Today, however, the number of participants was greater than in previous editions.

While normally only three or four representatives per faction would attend, today many families had sent all the experts they could.

Among them, several family leaders were visibly upset, as they were those whom Ye Chen had subdued. Who would be happy to have their life in someone else's hands?

The head of the Liu family, Liu Chengxin, stood at the entrance welcoming everyone.

When the Wenren family group arrived, his face showed slight surprise.

In previous years, the Wenren family usually sent about ten participants to the tournament, but today it seemed they had sent everyone they could.

Except for Wenren Yuanshan, who had difficulty traveling.

"Everyone from the Wenren family who can breathe is here!"

"Wenren Yage, have you decided to wage a war of attrition this year? That goes against the rules," commented Liu Chengxin with a strange expression.

"Can't I bring them to observe and learn?" asked Wenren Yage with a raised eyebrow.

"Of course. The more, the merrier. We at the Liu house always welcome visitors," replied Liu Chengxin with a smile. "Please, go ahead."

Naturally, the more people that come, the better. Anyway, today you are the one who will be embarrassed in front of everyone else.

Wenren Yage snorted coldly and entered with her family.

The Liu Family Martial Arts Gym had a special competition field with a capacity for hundreds of spectators.

"That's why today, with hundreds of people gathered here, it didn't seem crowded."

Seeing that there were many more people participating in the grand martial arts tournament than in previous years, everyone present felt there was something strange in the atmosphere.

The atmosphere was inexplicably oppressive, and no one could explain it.

...

Wenren Yage occasionally took out her phone and looked at it.

According to what she and Tang Yu had discussed before, when the right time came, Tang Yu would enter and launch an attack on a guy named Ye Chen.

At that moment, the masters of the Wenren family would go out together to beat that guy.

But where is that person?

At this moment, Ye Chen was already outside the Liu family gym.

Next to him were the two women, Ling Han and Chi Yin.

"Today, I ask you to stay here and keep watch. If Lu Junzhuo escapes, you will stop him."

He looked at the two women and ordered.

The strength of both was already near the intermediate stage of the [Mystic] Level, and their speed was quite fast.

If they joined forces, they only needed to stop Lu Junzhuo for a moment.

He himself could chase and kill him.

"Understood, Dragon King."

They both responded in unison, with clear murderous intentions on their faces.

Seeing them so determined, Ye Chen felt extremely satisfied.

Just that energy and spirit were what he needed to work for him!

After organizing the two women, he headed towards the Liu family gym.

When he entered, Liu Chengxin was already waiting for him at the door.

Seeing Ye Chen arrive, he quickly approached to greet him and said respectfully, "Young Ye."

"Are the people already here?"

"The Wenren family members are already here, but I haven't seen the person you mentioned."

"You haven't seen him?"

Ye Chen thought for a moment and then smiled coldly: "Surely he has disguised himself and is hiding somewhere. This useless younger brother of mine likes to act in the shadows."

Then he calmly and arrogantly said: "No matter, as soon as I appear, he will take the bait."

He wanted to get rid of him.

And didn't he want to do the same to him?

With his arrogant personality, he surely didn't think that he had already reached the peak of the [Mystic] level.

With similar strengths.

He didn't dare to say that he would definitely win against Lu Junzhuo.

But most of the people present today were his allies.

Facing dozens of ancient martial arts practitioners and him.

Unless Lu Junzhuo reached the [Earth] level, he wouldn't have a chance to escape.

Today, if he dared to appear, not even the gods could save him!

When everyone was present, soon the Liu family began to serve tea and refreshments to the guests.

As the host, Liu Chengxin stood on the platform and, according to tradition, gave a welcome speech before the different factions present sent a representative to participate in the great ancient martial arts tournament.

The representative chosen by the Liu family was, naturally, Ye Chen.

According to the rules of previous years, the many representatives would decide their opponents by drawing lots.

The one who drew Ye Chen was Gu Sanqian, the master of the Xuan Shui sect. His family was quite famous in the ancient martial arts circle of Su Hang, and Gu Sanqian was a master at the [Mystic] level.

But as the unfortunate one chosen by Ye Chen.

He also had a worm in his body.

Seeing that his opponent was Ye Chen, he showed no will to fight.

"Please, teach me."

He made a gesture with his hands and then initiated the attack.

Ye Chen, with a calm expression, chose to defend himself, giving advice from time to time, showing the posture of a great master.

Seeing such a young man easily handle Gu Sanqian.

The ancient martial arts practitioners who didn't know Ye Chen's identity were astonished.

Was this strength superior to that of the proud daughter of the Wenren family?

But those who knew weren't surprised at all.

He was an expert at the peak of the [Mystic] level, strong enough to walk arrogantly in the ancient martial arts world of Su Hang!

The level difference was obvious.

After almost three minutes of fighting on the platform.

Showing his masterly posture, Ye Chen struck Gu Sanqian with a palm.

After knocking Gu Sanqian off the platform.

Ye Chen smiled and greeted the spectators, his gaze fixed on the Wenren family members.

Today the representative of the Wenren family was Wenren Yage, where had Lu Junzhuo hidden?

Did he suspect that he had a backup plan, so he didn't dare to act recklessly?
