The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

”Second Uncle, what does that person mean, with his strength, he could have easily killed Wang Junyi. What is he waiting for?” In the crowd, Pei An grew more and more puzzled as he watched the battle.

Moreover, he clearly saw that person intending to kill Wang Junyi directly, but at the critical moment, he stopped his hand.

Pei Yu couldn’t help but frown, unable to understand the other’s plan. Why was he standing still all of a sudden?

”I can’t be sure, but I have a bad feeling.” For reasons unknown, Pei Yu felt an uneasy premonition in his heart, as if something uncontrollable was about to happen.

At that moment, a man walked out from the crowd, wearing a mask, and stepped onto the stage, saying to Wang Junyi, ”You should step aside for a rest.”

The appearance of the masked man caused a stir in the crowd, with everyone speculating about who he could be, especially the three from the Pei Family, who were naturally even more curious.

”That person...” Pei Yu looked at the man walking up, and a suspicious thought crossed his mind, with a hint of shock and disbelief in his eyes, he muttered, ”Could... could he be Wang Junyi’s master?”

Although Wang Junyi never mentioned having a master, his own strength was only that of Fourth Rank, yet he managed to tame a Seven-star Blood Lion. Anyone with a modicum of sense would realize that Wang Junyi must have a skilled expert supporting him. Although this hasn’t been confirmed by him, everyone already understood implicitly.

”Second Uncle, a master? Is he really that powerful?” Pei An asked with a curious look.

Pei Yu wasn’t sure how powerful the person was, as he had never seen him take action. However, judging by the ring master’s reaction, this suddenly appearing masked man was certainly not simple.

The ring master was evidently ready to kill Wang Junyi directly, but after the masked man appeared, his actions froze. That left only one possibility: he sensed a more formidable presence.

”Perhaps, this time I made the wrong choice.” Pei Yu said bitterly, having focused solely on using the ring master to eliminate Wang Junyi, without considering that behind Wang Junyi, there was not only Xingluo, but also a mysterious master.

As for his plan this time, anyone with any awareness could see that if Wang Junyi’s master decided to help his disciple seek revenge, the Pei Family would not meet a good end.

At that moment, a sense of dread settled in his heart.

By now, Su Changfeng, the masked man, had arrived on the stage and stood firmly before the ring master, his domineering aura enveloping the opponent, allowing no room for struggle.

Su Changfeng had never displayed his true strength before, and today was undoubtedly the first time. In the eyes of the world, even Seventh-rank Experts had no opportunity to resist him.

”With your strength, you don’t seem suited to stay in Qiyun City?” Su Changfeng intentionally lowered his voice, staring intently at the opponent.

”Wanting to advance further, ordinary methods won’t easily enhance strength. After hearing about the Flying Dragon Platform of Qiyun City, I planned to challenge strong opponents here to help boost my power,” the ring master replied frankly. Of course, he didn’t dare to lie in front of Su Changfeng.

Although they hadn’t actually exchanged blows yet, he could clearly sense that he had no chance of contending with this masked man. With just his aura locking onto him, the capacity to retaliate was gone.

In such a situation, there was only one possibility.

This suddenly appearing masked man’s strength had reached the late stage third rank, yet with his current power, he couldn’t fathom the true extent of the man’s rank.

”How could anyone stronger than you appear in Qiyun City? You’ve guarded the stage for half a year; has it done any good?” Su Changfeng questioned.

The ring master remained silent, his gaze flickering.

Su Changfeng continued, ”You desire to enhance your strength yet refuse to die, allowing yourself to kill so many weaker people, what are you proving? Are you strong, or merely deceiving yourself?”

Upon hearing this, the ring master’s expression changed instantly, realizing that in certain respects, his current situation aligned with Su Changfeng’s words. Though he feared death, it wasn’t to the extreme; he simply had other reasons for not wanting to die in vain.

”You truly are formidable, meeting you today, I admit defeat,” the ring master sighed, showing no desire to struggle.

Su Changfeng slowly approached, intending to give him a lesson, when he heard the man mutter to himself, ”Ultimately, there’s no returning, I’ve done my best, perhaps from the start, we were wrong.”

Su Changfeng frowned; these words might mean little to others, but to his ears, they carried unique undertones.

”Where are you from?” Su Changfeng’s heart stirred, looking at the man with some nervousness.

The ring master smiled faintly, with a somewhat ethereal demeanor, saying to Su Changfeng, ”You admit you are strong, but you’ve never witnessed an entirely different world, a realm beyond even your sight.”

An entirely different world?

Upon hearing this, an uncommon excitement appeared on the face behind the mask. Could it be that this person, like himself, is also someone who came from Tuo Shi to the Tianyuan Continent?

If so, they would indeed be compatriots, enabling him to better acquaint himself with the Tianyuan Continent through the man’s insights?

Thinking of this, Su Changfeng felt an uncontrollable surge of excitement.

However, with so many eyes around, Su Changfeng couldn’t inquire properly, so he simply stated, ”You can go, I won’t kill you.”

The ring master looked strangely at Su Changfeng, asking, ”Why spare me?”

”I have no grudge against you, thus no reason to kill you. He is my disciple; this was just a strategy to help him improve his strength,” Su Changfeng indicated Wang Junyi, who was meditating nearby.

The ring master had previously detected Wang Junyi’s intent, which led him to attempt to kill Wang Junyi.

”Having a late stage third rank expert as a mentor, he is very fortunate,” said the man before leaving.

The spectator crowd was left disappointed with this outcome. Initially, they were eager for excitement, but the masked man’s emergence led to the abrupt end of the fight, leaving them wanting more.

”What happened, just leaving like that? The fight hasn’t even started yet!”

”Can’t you see, this masked man must be very powerful, scaring that man off, he chickened out.”

”But who is this person? Wearing a mask, cloaked in mystery, is he truly that impressive?”

Seeing the ring master leave, Pei Yu quickly approached; having orchestrated the entire event, he couldn’t simply absolve himself. Now, he had to find a way to mitigate the situation quickly, otherwise, if the other party chose to pursue the matter, he couldn’t bear the consequences.
