Chapter 951 – Underworld General
“Brother Chen, are you confident about defeating Su Xue?” Ye Xuan was a little upset about Su Xue participating and had even argued with his sister about it. However, he had no choice because the City Lord had no choice but to operate within the confines of the rules, and she had already agreed to it.
The youth believed that Long Chen had to become his sister’s disciple because he had a great relationship with him. Ye Xuan was very willing to let Long Chen, who had saved his life twice, benefit from such a good opportunity. He felt uncomfortable letting an outsider, especially when she was Su Mo’s subordinate, fight for this position.
“It’s fine. We’ll cross that bridge when we reach it. I’ll just do my best.” Long Chen had a calmer approach to Su Xue, whom he had not met before. At this point, it would be very difficult to defeat a Divine Martial Realm expert if he did not use the Golden Thunder Beast in his hand. However, without a true duel, it was difficult to ascertain the winner.
Long Chen’s confidence was unshakeable. Although his opponent would be very strong, he still maintained his calmness. Everything was up to him to work for it. It was not a big deal if he lost.
However, to Chen Liu, his words sounded like utter arrogance and it was laughable to him.
He could not help but burst into laughter.
“What are you laughing at?” Ye Xuan asked coldly, knowing he was laughing at Long Chen.
“Nothing. Today’s event is a grand celebration, so it is worth rejoicing.” Chen Liu was smart enough to cover up. However, he looked at Long Chen with unmasked contempt.
How could Long Chen not know what the bastard was thinking?
Long Chen was only a Seventh Heavenly Martial Stage cultivator on the outside, and he barely met the minimum requirement to participate. He was among the lowest-ranked people competing, and yet he was bragging and did not take Su Xue seriously at all. If Long Chen was in his shoes, he would laugh too.
Chen Liu was not the only one. The other people in the estate likely felt uncomfortable at the City Lord’s concern for Long Chen. In their eyes, they had contributed much more than Long Chen.
Very soon, they arrived at the Underworld Martial Square.
“There are too many experts here today. Since you’re such good friends with Ye Xuan, you shouldn’t get yourself eliminated on the first day. The City Lord and Young Master would lose face if that happened,” Chen Liu whispered into Long Chen’s ear when they approached the square.
“Just wait and see,” Long Chen replied coldly.
“It’s just a warning. Watch yourself.” Chen Liu huffed coldly and walked in front. He said to the City Lord, “City Lord, I have brought them here. I will be leaving to tend to other matters.”
City Lord Ye Xuan smiled and nodded. After he left, she gestured for Long Chen and Ye Xuan to sit in the seats to the left and right of herself. When they sat, they were hit with a refreshing fragrance.
There was an hour until the commencement of the tournament.
Those who were supposed to come had already arrived. More than twenty thousand participants stood neatly in the square, and the VIP seats were filled.
At least fifty thousand of the one hundred thousand people present were looking at the beautiful woman in the purple dress, Ye Xuan, with eyes filled with admiration. Therefore, when Long Chen and her brother sat down next to her, they attracted everyone’s attention. Her brother did not receive many comments, as many people recognized him.
But who was Long Chen?
“Who’s the teenager next to the City Lord? The one who looks similar in age to Young Master Ye Xuan?”
“We won’t get any chances! If he becomes the City Lord’s disciple, we’ll be finished!” Song Yuchun said anxiously.
“No way. With Miss Su Xue around, no one else can win first place,” Song Yang said reassuringly.
“Where’s Miss Su Xue?” Song Yuchun looked around for her.
Ever since he saw Miss Su Xue two days ago, Song Yuchun finally realized that he was a man. The girl with the icy expression and beautiful figure was very attractive to him.
If even Brother Chun was attracted, it showed just how charismatic Su Xue was.
When Song Yuchun mentioned Su Xue, the crowd exclaimed because they saw a group of people in black Underworld Armor descend from the sky to the Underworld Army’s seats. Su Mo sat first, then the rest sat down.
About twenty people had arrived, and most were Ten Thousand-Sergeants. Su Xue, who was graceful but icy, stood obediently behind Su Mo. To his left was a tall and thin middle-aged man wearing ink-green armor densely covered in runes. It was obvious that he had a different identity compared to the rest.
This person was one of the Underworld Admirals who was at the Third Divine Martial Stage named Su Tian. He was Su Xue’s father.
Their arrival meant that the tournament could begin.
The people of the Underworld Army and the estate looked at each other and smiled.
Su Mo and the City Lord locked eyes. There was a wordless message communicated.
As for Long Chen and her brother, they were looking at the icy girl next to Su Mo, who was also wearing Underworld armor and looked like an emotionless block of ice.
“I thought she was very powerful, but she’s just a person with an ice block for a face. She has already been at the Divine Martial Realm for more than ten years, yet she’s still in its early stages while I have already progressed to the mid-stage,” said the youth with contempt after eyeing her for a while.
“Brother Chen, you have a high chance of winning,” he said determinedly.
The other people were covered in cold sweat; Ye Xuan was probably the one who was most confident in Long Chen.
“It’s almost time,” the City Lord muttered. Then she gently stood up. Since she was sitting at a very high seat, when she stood up, the sunlight shone from behind her and made it look like the rays originated from her. Her purple dress fluttered in the wind, making her look like a fairy who had descended into the world.
The noisy square returned to silence. Every man and woman looked at the perfect woman standing at the top.
The City Lord wasted no time. She said gently, “Thank you, everyone, for coming today. It is almost time for the tournament to begin. First of all, I hope everyone will behave in an orderly manner. If you are a spectator, please watch quietly. If there is any chaos, the estate will punish the culprits severely. If you are a participant, please read the rules carefully. If you break the rules, the estate will also punish the culprits severely.”
Ye Xuan’s gentle voice echoed in every ear. Although her voice was melodious, the crowd trembled with fear, resolving not to make loud noises, though soft conversations were not forbidden.
“The tournament rules were distributed during registration. Several judges will be stationed at every stage. Anyone who falls off the stage, is unable to stand, or admits defeat will be declared the loser. While death was unavoidable, anyone who attacks their opponent after they yield will not only be disqualified but also severely punished.”
The City Lord was a powerful and charismatic figure. If she was not, how could she rule over the gigantic Underworld City in such an orderly manner?
