Chapter 86: Sudden Change

Following his order, more than thirty disciples in brocade clothes rushed out from the main hall.

These people were all silent, just quietly using wooden stakes and ropes to circle the duel arena on the open ground in front of the hall. From their nimble movements, it could be seen that these people were all well-trained and not ordinary low-level disciples of the Seven Mysteries Sect.

Watching the duel arena being marked out, Li Li Feiyu felt uneasy and asked Han Li: "Are we just going to hide here, doing nothing, and watch them duel? This doesn't seem right!"

"What's not right? Your little lover is not in any danger now, she's very safe. After they finish the duel, we'll take advantage of the chaos when the Wild Wolf Gang retreats to secretly pick up Miss Zhang. Then you two can run away far away, find a place they can't find, so that the people above don't have to use you as a scapegoat and make you carry a big black pot you can't carry." Han Li said lightly. It seemed he didn't have a deep sense of belonging to the Seven Mysteries Sect.

"Isn't this eloping? No, Zhang Xiuer won't agree!" Li Li Feiyu shook his head like a rattle.

"Then you just knock her out, take her away by force, and then make the raw rice into cooked rice, wouldn't that work?" Han Li answered nonchalantly.

"You..." Li Li Feiyu was so angry at Han Li's words that he stared with both eyes, speechless.

Just as the two were entangled, Wang Wang Juechu solemnly received two blood-red documents from a disciple; they were the life-and-death contracts. He kept one for himself and had someone hand the other to Jia Jia Tianlong opposite.

When Jia Jia Tianlong received this, his expression also became solemn. He carefully opened the document, browsed it cautiously, confirmed there was no problem, nodded, closed the document, and then started selecting the death warriors to fight.

After some screening, he picked thirteen elite experts from the Wild Wolf Gang. In order to reduce losses, he also selected more than ten gang members with good skills from small and medium-sized gangs. Anyway, regardless of whether these people were willing to contribute, as long as they signed the life-and-death contract, they had to fight for their own lives. As for the remaining candidates, they were all composed of Iron Guards who were good at coordination from his side. Of course, Master Jin Guang definitely had to participate; he was counting on this person's Flying Sword Art to show great power!

Just as Jia Jia Tianlong was busy, Wang Wang Juechu opposite didn't know when he had returned to the stone hall and hadn't come out yet, presumably racking his brains for the candidates to participate in the duel.

When the duel arena was completely finished, Wang Wang Juechu finally walked out from the hall with three or four hundred people.

These people were old and young, men and women, but each had bright eyes and steady steps, clearly the elites of the Seven Mysteries Sect. Among them, the three people following Wang Wang Juechu were the ones Jia Jia Tianlong cared about the most.

One of these three was dressed in a scholar's robe, full of scholarly air; one had a tall and sturdy figure, with his chest exposed and a beard like steel needles, looking extremely fierce; the last one was a cold-faced man in gray clothes carrying a long sword.

These people looked like middle-aged men in their thirties or forties at first glance, but a closer look at their faces revealed a sense of vicissitudes that only old people in their seventies or eighties would have, making people feel that their age was not as young as their appearance suggested.

Jia Jia Tianlong understood in his heart that these three must be Wang Wang Juechu's three Han Shishu. It seemed the other party was truly risking everything to keep him here.

Thinking of this, he turned to the side, pointed at the three, and said to Master Jin Guang beside him: "Master, I wonder what you think of those three people, can you take them down?"

"Just a few vulgar people, my flying sword comes out, and their lives are over! What's there to worry about? Don't you trust me?" Master Jin Guang glared, dissatisfied, and his tone was a bit unkind.

"Don't dare, don't dare! I was just asking casually, Master, please don't take it to heart." Jia Jia Tianlong hurriedly smiled, fearing to offend his greatest reliance at this moment.

"Hmph!" The dwarf's anger subsided after hearing this.

Seeing this, Jia Jia Tianlong finally put his heart in his stomach. This great immortal was really hard to serve!

He smiled bitterly in secret, hurriedly turned around, and shouted: "Are you ready? Start signing the life-and-death book!"

Following this shout, the people participating in the duel on the Wild Wolf Gang side started to write their names solemnly on the life-and-death book and signed the contract to show their fighting spirit.

At the same time, Wang Wang Juechu also said coldly: "Sign the life-and-death book!"

Immediately, dozens of death warriors who had been selected in advance walked out from the Seven Mysteries Sect crowd, also preparing to sign the life-and-death contract on the document.

Following the steps of these people, Han Li naturally cast his gaze there, wanting to see if there were any acquaintances he knew in the crowd. He also saw Wang Wang Juechu's three Han Shishu, but he didn't care much, just glanced at them and moved on, while his gaze fell on an old man in a green shirt.

Upon seeing the old man's face, Han Li couldn't help but let out a low cry: "Elder Li!"

This person was actually Elder Li, who had been saved by Han Li once—Ma Rong's master. He was actually one of the people participating in the life-and-death duel, which was too unexpected.

After Han Li regained his senses, he hurriedly turned his face and slapped Li Li Feiyu's shoulder hard, saying: "Did you see? Elder Li is also there, he also has to sign the life-and-death contract!"

Li Li Feiyu stood motionless in place without any expression. He looked into the distance, as if he hadn't heard anything, his expression extremely wooden.

"Eh! What's going on?" Han Li was a bit surprised.

"Even if Elder Li wants to sign the life-and-death book, he doesn't have to be like this!" he asked strangely.

Li Li Feiyu heard this and finally withdrew his gaze. He looked blankly at Han Li and said something that made Han Li lose his senses for a moment.

"Zhang Xiuer... Zhang Xiuer, she is also there, she also has to participate in the life-and-death duel!"

After saying this, Li Li Feiyu's face immediately became extremely ugly.
