Xu Wan could still maintain her composure as she said softly, “Don’t worry, this is Dragon Abyss City. Even if all the troops of the Evil Wolf Army are gathered, they won’t dare to enter the city, let alone the thousands of them!”

“The guards and Exalted Immortals of Dragon Abyss City are not to be trifled with.”

Duan Tianliang’s expression softened when he heard Xu Wan’s words.

On the other side, the messenger guard did not leave after delivering the news. He had a hesitant expression and wanted to speak but hesitated.

“What else is there? Speak!”

Commander Liu was already furious after losing the gambit. When he saw the messenger guard stutter, his expression turned cold as he hollered.

The messenger guard shuddered in fear and replied hurriedly, “Commander Liu, we’ve just received news that Chen Xuanyang of Blood Sun Valley was supposed to lead an army of 5,000 to Dragon Abyss City. However, an accident happened on the way.”

All the major factions wanted the Sal Tree Leaf.

However, there was no cultivator from Blood Sun Valley at the auction this time round—that was indeed strange.

Many cultivators were enlightened when they heard that.

But soon, everyone had even greater doubts.

Blood Sun Valley was one of the eight major factions and Chen Xuanyang was the young master of Blood Sun Valley. Coupled with an army of 5,000, what accidents could have happened?

The messenger guard gulped. “I’ve received definite news that the 5,000 strong army of Blood Sun Valley was almost completely annihilated and only a few hundred survived.”

“The young master of Blood Sun Valley, Chen Xuanyang, was severely injured and his arm was severed!”

The moment that news was released, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples and caused an uproar in the crowd!

Which faction had the means to severely injure Blood Sun Valley’s army of 5,000?

Which faction would have the guts to attack the army of Blood Sun Valley?

Furthermore, Chen Xuanyang was severely injured!

One could imagine that no matter which faction it was, they had already become enemies with Blood Sun Valley and became their number one enemy!

“Did the Four Great Bandits do it?”

“From what I know, two of the Four Great Bandits, the Evil Wolf Army and the Goshawk Gang, are very close to Blood Sun Valley. It shouldn’t be them.”

“However, I’ve never heard of the remaining two of the Four Great Bandits having any grudges with Blood Sun Valley.”

Everyone discussed but could not guess the outcome.

Duan Tianliang had a strange expression and remained silent.

Commander Liu had an indifferent expression when he heard the news.

He did not care even if everyone in Blood Sun Valley was dead, let alone the fact that only a few thousand of them died.

With the destruction of Blood Sun Valley, a second rising faction would be born. The cycle of reincarnation would repeat itself.

However, Dragon Abyss City had never changed and stood firm!

They were still the people with the highest statuses on the Dragon Abyss Star!

Commander Liu’s gaze was still fixed on the green figure in the middle of the arena as he asked casually, “Oh, who did it?”

“From what I know, their leader is Su Zimo, the person who was hunted down by the Evil Wolf Army!”

The messenger guard said in a deep voice.

“What?!”

Commander Liu exclaimed in shock.

At the side, Yan Fei had a calm expression as though he was not surprised.

When the crowd below heard that, there was a momentary silence before an even louder commotion broke out!

“It’s him!”

“No wonder he dared to accept Ding Yu’s challenge and killed the latter with a single palm strike!”

“He sure is bold to lay his hands on Blood Sun Valley!”

“That person has not only offended Blood Sun Valley, but also the Evil Wolf Army and Black Yin Mountain.”

The blue-dressed woman from Thunder Shock Hall was shocked and could not help but look at the green-robed cultivator on the battlefield again with a hint of bewilderment and curiosity in her eyes.

Xu Wan’s eyes shone brightly as well.

She had long noticed that Su Zimo was different.

However, even she had not expected that this person had such a deep background!

The burly man behind Xu Wan whispered, “Miss, your judgment is truly accurate.”

Xu Wan shook her head gently. “Uncle Liu, I’ve still underestimated him.”

The burly man named Uncle Liu pondered for a moment before sending a voice transmission with his spirit consciousness, “Miss, I know that you intend to befriend him and want to recruit him.”

“However, from the looks of it, the risk is too great.”

Xu Wan was silent.

She could understand what Uncle Liu was implying.

Indeed, Su Zimo had immense potential.

Therefore, even though she knew that Su Zimo was being hunted by the Evil Wolf Army, she wanted to befriend him.

But now, Su Zimo had offended two of the eight major factions, Blood Sun Valley and Black Yin Mountain, as well as one of the Four Great Bandits, the Evil Wolf Army.

If she were to befriend or recruit this person, she would definitely bring trouble for Twin Dragon Sect and herself!

At that time, Twin Dragon Sect would have to face three top factions because of a single person!

No matter how one looked at it, this was not a wise move.

Xu Wan sighed internally.

No matter how willing she was emotionally, she was the daughter of the Sect Master of Twin Dragon Sect after all and had to consider the interests of the many disciples.

She could only obey her rationality and give up on Su Zimo.

On the other side.

In the high seats of the palace, Commander Liu’s expression was dark. Turning his head slightly, he looked at Yan Fei beside him and said slowly, “You knew about this long ago. That’s why you dared to make this gambit with me!”

At that moment, he had already realized.

Yan Fei had an uneasy expression. “I did receive news that the Blood Sun Valley army was annihilated by a group of people. Their leader is very young with green robes and black hair. However, I don’t know who he is.”

Pausing for a moment, he continued, “However, Su Zimo took out a storage bag previously in order to auction for that spirit treasure fragment.”

“I only found out that there were a thousand black-grade Dharmic treasures in that storage bag after asking around,”

With a mocking expression, Commander Liu added, “How can an ordinary cultivator, a Grade 5 Black Immortal, have a thousand black-grade Dharmic treasures?”

“Therefore, based on the information you obtained, you were certain that the green-robed, black-haired cultivator is Su Zimo!”

Yan Fei shook his head and smiled. “There are many people with green robes and black hair. How can I be certain? I merely gambled based on those clues.”

“If he’s the same person who killed the Blood Sun Valley army, he’s naturally capable and has a chance to last 50 moves against Ding Yu.”

Yan Fei let out a long breath. “However, even I did not expect that person to kill Ding Yu with a single palm strike!”

At that point, Commander Liu had nowhere to vent the pent up anger in his heart.

It was not as though Yan Fei had set him up.

Firstly, he was the one who suggested the gambit.

Secondly, Yan Fei could not be certain that Su Zimo was the one who killed the Blood Sun Valley army—that was a risk in itself.

However, no matter what, he had suffered a huge loss today!

The root of everything was the green-robed cultivator beneath!

Commander Liu’s gaze landed on Su Zimo once more with a chilling killing intent that sent chills down one’s spine!

He was prepared to attack!
