Zhao Yu still had one match to go before his compet.i.tion, so he left the private room and headed to the field to start warming up.
“Brother-in-law, that guy over there is Wu Liu from Moon City…”
Li Ping An cautiously pointed to a spot in the players’ area.
Zhao Yu turned his head to look and saw a young man with a short haircut and a red scar on his forehead among a group of seven or eight youths.
As if sensing Zhao Yu’s gaze, the scarred young man immediately turned to look back.
His eyes were narrow and elongated, giving off a fierce and unapproachable vibe.
“Brother Liu, that guy is Zhao Yu!”
As Zhao Yu was observing Wu Liu, someone beside Wu Liu whispered a reminder.
Although they hadn’t met Zhao Yu in person before, they had seen his photo circulated around, so they recognized him at once.
Upon hearing this, Wu Liu started walking toward them.
With his movement, other youths interested in Zhao Yu also began to follow.
“Brother-in-law, I have something to do, I’ll leave first…”
Li Ping An, feeling intimidated, quickly ran away when he saw Wu Liu and the others approaching them with ill intentions.
At this moment, only two people remained by Zhao Yu’s side: w.a.n.g Yan Ran and Seventh Grandad.
w.a.n.g Yan Ran remained calm, knowing her own strength and aware that there were surely others elders secretly protecting Zhao Yu. She didn’t think much of it.
But Seventh Grandad looked at the approaching group with a solemn expression.
In terms of strength, they were on par with him; even if he was slightly stronger, the difference wasn’t significant if the whole group attacked him.
In terms of martial arts technique level, theirs were superior to his.
Although his cultivation progress was higher, the gap was nullified by the higher level of their techniques.
Over the past couple of days, he had discussed with his family members, and they concluded that even the elders of their family might not be able to defeat Wu Liu.
As for that Zhuge Wohu, his strength was likely even more terrifying, though he wasn’t as confrontational as Wu Liu.
Finally, as the group was about to approach, Seventh Grandad couldn’t help but signal to the outside.
Immediately, several referees from the judging panel came over.
The commotion in the players’ area naturally attracted the audience’s attention, shifting their focus from the arena to the activity below.
This left the two fighters still battling on stage feeling awkward.
Their one chance to shine was overshadowed by Zhao Yu’s situation below.
“Are you Zhao Yu?!”
Wu Liu’s voice was sharp, and there was an unhealed wound on his throat, making his voice sound provocative, which matched his personality.
Even in Moon City, Wu Liu was known for his aggressive nature.
If his master ordered him to attack, he would do so without hesitation.
Even the other youths accompanying him didn’t want to challenge Wu Liu.
Zhao Yu nodded, “Are you Wu Liu?!”
Wu Liu’s lips curled into what was supposed to be a smile, but his ugly features made it seem more menacing, almost like he was trying to intimidate someone.
“Take this bottle of second-tier divine medicine and follow my master from now on!”
He took out a divine medicine bottle tied with a thin string from his pocket and hung it on his thigh, motioning for Zhao Yu to come and take it.
For some reason, seeing this, Zhao Yu always had the feeling that this person seemed like a jerk.
Even if he was recruiting, he could have just handed it over directly, or if that wasn’t possible, he could have thrown it over.
Who ties a bottle to their pants with a string and specifically asks someone to come and take it?!
A test of obedience?!
Zhao Yu squinted his eyes. Was he being treated like a dog?!
One could only say that this Wu Liu was quite impolite upon first meeting, seemingly having some form of aggressiveness.
Zhao Yu asked calmly, “Is this a request or a demand?”
“Heh heh!”
Wu Liu grinned, revealing a trace of cruelty. “Anything my master desires, he gets. You can try refusing.”
“Messenger, can you contact him?”
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yu didn’t respond but turned his head to look at Seventh Grandad and asked.
“The messenger?!”
Seventh Grandad was taken aback but quickly took out his phone. “I have the contact information here, do you want it?”
“Of course!”
Zhao Yu directly took his phone and dialed the number.
Five third-tier experts had come to Blackstone Town, and he had naturally learned about it in the past few days.
Although these five people were from Moon City, their purpose for this trip represented the Holy City. They returned as envoy to take him to Moon City first.
This meant that their current ident.i.ty and background should be primarily seen as messengers, with the power of Moon City as representor.
“h.e.l.lo?”
“Is this the delegation from Moon City?”
Once the call connected, Zhao Yu didn’t bother with pleasantries, “This is Zhao Yu. I want to report to the Holy City that someone is trying to coerce me…”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Liu’s face instantly changed, but his gaze towards Zhao Yu became even more hostile.
The young man accompanying him, however, had a look of amus.e.m.e.nt, as if enjoying a good show.
“Oh? Where are you now?”
“At the Immortal Medicine Convention, in the contestants’ area. Please hurry, I fear by the time you arrive, I will have been forced to sign an agreement…”
“Don’t sign. Tell him, anyone who coerces you will face extermination; no one can save them. I’ll be there immediately!”
This involved a great issue, which startled the messenger even though he was a Third Tier fighter. After speaking, he rushed towards the scene at full speed.
After all, even though they were Tier Three, and their entire family was the leading force in Moon City, they were less than ants in the eyes of the Holy City.
Even without the Holy City taking action, just issuing a casual bounty, like capturing a certain family from Moon City with a reward of divine medicine, would have countless families within Moon City were flocking to do so..
