203: Let everyone come to watch the show

After deducing the entire process, Qin Wangchuan’s gaze returned to the arena.

At this moment, Jiang Yan had long lost his usual cheerful, even somewhat foolish, demeanor.

His eyes were bloodshot, his chest heaved violently, and the spiritual energy around him became chaotic and unstable due to extreme anger, yet it was forcibly restrained by a certain firm will.

His Moves were without any discernible pattern, yet each one was vicious, a fighting style of risking his life for a life—preferring to take a direct blow from the opponent's palm if it meant tearing a piece of flesh from the opponent!

Liu Kun clearly hadn't expected this “soft persimmon” to be so fearless of death.

Although his Realm was two levels higher than Jiang Yan’s, having reached the Ninth Realm.

Logically speaking, it should have been a complete crush (crushing defeat).

However, due to years of indulgence in debauchery and his Realm being boosted entirely by Medicinal Pills, he was now struggling under Jiang Yan's storm-like offensive.

Fear began to show in Liu Kun’s eyes, and his elaborate Moves became distorted due to his timidness, their power greatly diminished.

“Lunatic! You’re a complete lunatic!” Liu Kun was thoroughly enraged by Jiang Yan’s reckless fighting style, which disregarded his own safety in favor of injuring the enemy, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

He feigned a Move, his body suddenly retreating several steps, widening the distance from Jiang Yan.

“You lowly wretch! Go back to the mud where you belong—just like your parents!”

His hands rapidly formed seals, and the spiritual energy around him converged wildly at an unprecedented speed, his robes flapping in the wind, rustling loudly.

Those flashy yet impractical Moves were discarded, replaced by a chillingly cold aura.

Between his palms, a ghostly blue light condensed into shape, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and even the ground beneath his feet froze with a layer of white frost.

“It’s the Liu Family’s ‘Prison Ice Seal’!” someone with knowledge in the audience exclaimed, “This guy is serious, he’s going for the kill!”

This strike indeed concentrated all of Liu Kun’s Ninth Realm cultivation, aiming to completely obliterate Jiang Yan!

However, Qin Wangchuan, standing outside the crowd, merely watched silently, with no intention of intervening.

This was not a matter of standing by and doing nothing; rather, he clearly perceived that—it was unnecessary.

On the surface, Jiang Yan was covered in injuries, his aura chaotic, seemingly at an absolute disadvantage, about to be swallowed by that ghostly blue palm print.

But Qin Wangchuan keenly noticed that Jiang Yan’s blood and Qi surged like a Dragon, his internal breath was actually long and profound, far from reaching the end of his rope.

Most crucially, the familiar, blazing lightning glow, symbolizing his trump card, had not yet appeared on him.

This meant that this kid was still holding back, even at this moment!

As soon as he thought of this, Qin Wangchuan felt both emotional and helpless.

“As expected of the Son of Luck, facing an opponent two Realms higher than himself, even if he appears disheveled, he can still be so at ease, retaining enough trump cards to turn the tide.”

What was helpless was that this was the Tongtian Realm, the core transit hub of the Three Thousand Continents. Although it was a mixed bag of Dragons and snakes, there shouldn't be too many scions who were so blind and actively came forward to serve as “experience packs” for the protagonist.

Yet, Jiang Yan still managed to encounter such a situation and successfully escalate it to a life-and-death struggle.

“As expected of the protagonist…”

Qin Wangchuan sighed softly in his heart. This “talent” for getting into trouble was truly something to be admired.

Just as Qin Wangchuan was observing the developments, a series of urgent whooshing sounds approached from afar.

Tongtian Xuanming arrived in a hurry with his people. His gaze swept over the arena, and when he saw Jiang Yan, covered in blood but brimming with Battle Intent, his forehead instantly broke out in a fine cold sweat.

That kid, wasn’t he the one beside Your Highness?!

It turned out that ever since learning Qin Wangchuan’s identity, this meticulous Tongtian Family Head had sent people to keep an eye out in secret—

Not for surveillance.

But out of fear that this Your Highness might suffer any mishap in his territory, or be offended by some clueless person.

Just now, the secret sentry reported that Qin Wangchuan was stopping here to watch the battle, sensing something amiss, which is why he immediately brought people over.

Tongtian Xuanming dared not show the slightest neglect. He was about to signal his subordinates to immediately interrupt this dangerous duel.

“No need.”

Qin Wangchuan’s calm voice sounded, and he simultaneously waved his hand slightly, stopping his action.

Tongtian Xuanming’s movement stiffened, and he quickly bowed: “Your Highness, this…”

Qin Wangchuan’s gaze remained on the arena, and he casually pointed at Liu Kun, opposite Jiang Yan: “This person’s surname is Liu. I heard them say there’s also a Liu Family in the city.”

Tongtian Xuanming’s heart tightened, and he quickly replied: “Reporting to Your Highness, the Liu Family is indeed a prominent local Family. Its Family industries span nearly half the city, and it has quite a Foundation.”

“However, our Tongtian Family has always had only ordinary dealings with them.”

How could it be ordinary dealings? In Tongtian City, which of these big Families dared not pay taxes and tributes to the Tongtian Family?

But at present, it was better to distance themselves.

‘Otherwise, if I anger this Divine Son, I will definitely be the first to be torn apart!’ Tongtian Xuanming thought to himself.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wangchuan’s lips curved into an almost imperceptible arc, but his tone remained calm: “Since that’s the case, for just you and I to watch here would be too desolate.”

“Go, call all the people from the Liu Family.” He turned his head to look at Tongtian Xuanming, his voice devoid of emotion, “Let them all watch this wonderful duel together.”

Tongtian Xuanming immediately bowed: “Yes!”

He was about to give a look to his trusted subordinate beside him to relay the order, but his arm, halfway raised, suddenly froze in mid-air as if nailed by something.

A more terrifying thought, like an ice pick, instantly pierced through his mind:

‘No… If Your Highness is personally present, and I merely inform them, those idiots from the Liu Family might not realize that the sky has fallen. They might even rely on their local influence to speak wildly in front of Your Highness… Wouldn’t that be adding fuel to the fire, dragging even me to my death?’

‘I must make them understand the importance of the matter!’

With this thought, Tongtian Xuanming no longer hesitated.

He withdrew his arm, turned to Qin Wangchuan, and bowed even lower, “I… will personally go and invite them!”

With that, Tongtian Xuanming turned and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the Liu Family… The streak of light that was Tongtian Xuanming arrived at the magnificent mansion gates of the Liu Family in just a few breaths.

He made no attempt to conceal his formidable aura, belonging to a regional overlord, which descended like a mountain.

“City Lord?!”

The Liu Family guards at the gate recognized him and were instantly scared out of their wits, forgetting even to announce his arrival, and hurriedly made way.

Tongtian Xuanming didn't even glance at them. He strode in with the gait of a Dragon and a tiger, directly barging through the Liu Family gates.

At this moment, Liu Qing, the current Family Head of the Liu Family, was in the council hall discussing Family business matters with several Family elders.

Incense smoke curled gracefully in the hall, and the atmosphere was originally quite relaxed.

“Bang!”

The two heavy purple sandalwood doors of the council hall were suddenly slammed open by an invisible wave of Qi.

A figure, imbued with suffocating pressure, swept in like a raging tide!

“Who dares…!”

Liu Qing sensed the violent aura and rose from his seat in a fit of rage.

However, when he clearly saw the face of the newcomer, his surging anger was instantly extinguished as if a basin of ice water had been poured over his head.

“Xuan… Immortal Master Xuanming?!”

Liu Qing’s voice changed pitch. He hastily went around the table, almost stumbling as he went forward, forcing a smile that was incredibly respectful, even somewhat fawning:

“You, you came in person? What important matter is it? Just give an order, and I, Liu, would naturally come to pay my respects. How dare I trouble you…”

The Tongtian Family Head personally visiting was an unprecedented event!

Tongtian Xuanming was expressionless, his gaze like lightning, sweeping over everyone in the hall. He directly interrupted Liu Qing’s pleasantries, his voice cold and hard: “Bring everyone from your Liu Family who has a say, and follow me immediately.”

Liu Qing and the few Family elders were all stunned.
