919. Chapter 917: Looking Anew

Several young female disciples surrounded a person with a fiery figure.

"Cough!" The blue-robed youth Tan Hu frowned slightly, gave a dry cough, and hurriedly waved his hands to explain.

"You've misunderstood! Too many people are participating in this Martial Arts Tournament, so the competition will definitely be extremely fierce!"

"Don't forget, in past Martial Arts Tournaments of our Cangjing, there have never been lacking half-step Profound Yang Realm or even Profound Yang Realm experts showing up to watch, and although I, Tan Hu, am not weak in strength."

"But they are certainly not those lofty experts; moreover, the strength of the Lu Family's Third Young Master…… is not to be underestimated!"

"Huh?"

"What?"

"Lu Yuan…… he's actually this formidable?"

Upon hearing Tan Hu's words, the red-clothed woman and the crowd immediately fell into contemplation.

They originally intended to rely on Tan Hu's overwhelming strength to crush Lu Yuan, thereby achieving the goal of boosting the family's prestige.

But after hearing the other side's explanation, they suddenly felt that this matter might not be so easy.

"You don't need to worry about this matter; I have my own way to deal with him!" Tan Hu smiled arrogantly, a flash of cunning light passing through his eyes.

Although he does not exactly fear Lu Yuan, deep down he still harbors some resentment.

After all, Lu Yuan's father once crossed hands with his father; although his father ultimately won, their clash left his father with some regrets.

And in his impression, Lu Yuan may have mediocre talent, but he possesses some luck, and it is precisely this luck that makes his martial path proceed much more smoothly than others'.

Such people are often not to be judged by ordinary standards.

Therefore, whenever he encounters similar situations, Tan Hu's mind always flashes with many thoughts, and he quickly makes a decision.

And this time is naturally no exception.

"No need to worry; I have my own way to teach him a lesson!"

Tan Hu waved his hand, indicating that everyone need not worry further.

But just then, a voice dripping with mockery and provocation suddenly rang out! "Hmph! The people of the Cangjing Three Great Families are indeed arrogant enough!"

Accompanying that cold shout, the silver boat's deck shuddered, the water ahead surged, and a white-robed figure suddenly appeared, steadying the silver boat.

On the silver boat, silence fell for a moment, then an uproar of discussion erupted! "Hiss! It's Lu Yuan!"

"Damn it! He actually got here ahead of us!"

"Hmph! I've long said that Lu Yuan is utterly unworthy of the Cangyun Sect's holy maiden!"

"Well now, we don't even have a chance to watch the excitement!"

The silver boat's deck was in chaos, all eyes fixed on the two people at the front, and the discussion showed no sign of stopping.

Jiang Xiangwei's pretty face turned ice-cold, she gritted her teeth, and her eyes brimmed with anger and jealousy.

Unlike her, Jiang Rou showed no reaction at all, still wearing an indifferent expression.

Perhaps, in her view, this outcome was already expected? Jiang Rou slowly shook her head, a hint of helpless bitterness appearing at the corner of her mouth, her eyes flashing with a trace of gloom and desolation.

Not only her, but at this very moment, on the Canglanguo Square, the attention of many elders and nobles of the Canglanguo royal family was also drawn away by Jiang Xiangwei.

Seeing Jiang Xiangwei leading the family's elites into Cangjing, these people all changed their expressions.

"What the hell is this girl up to?"

"Doesn't she know that Lu Yuan is also a disciple of the Jiang family?"

"Isn't this just messing around?"

Everyone's faces darkened, and they all furrowed their brows.

Although the Jiang family's strength is not ordinary, compared to the Cangjing Three Great Families the gap is still considerable, and their standing in Cangjing is slightly inferior.

Under these circumstances, it is only natural for these people of the Canglanguo royal family to favor Lu Yuan.

"Jiang Xiangwei! This Martial Arts Tournament is not like before; if you insist on meddling, don't blame us for turning against you and refusing to acknowledge you!"

"Exactly! Jiang Xiangwei, you'd better think it through clearly, don't lose big over small things!" "Hmph! Do you even understand the rules of Cangjing City?"

"Once the Martial Arts Tournament begins, once you step onto the martial arts stage, life and death are each to their own fate."

"If your Jiang family is unwilling, you may at any time send people to cause him trouble, but if you break the rules, don't blame us for turning on you ruthlessly!"

"Understood."

……

Just as Lu Yuan had steadied his footing, the people of the Cangjing Three Great Families gathered around him.

Although the name of the Three Great Families of Canglanguo is intimidating, it still falls considerably short of truly top-tier families.

Faced with the oppression of the Cangjing Three Great Families, the Cangyun Sect people could only silently retreat, yielding the stage to the Cangjing Three Great Families.

And this move thoroughly infuriated the disciples of the Cangjing Three Great Families!

"Lu Yuan! Remember this! This debt will be settled with you sooner or later!"

"Heh! Do we really need to wait until later? Today I'll tell you what the outcome is for opposing our Cangjing Three Great Families!"

"Hmph! Lu Yuan! You dare provoke the Cangjing Three Great Families—you're practically courting death!"

On the three silver boats, a burst of furious, violent shouting rang out, and a sharp, killing aura instantly enveloped the entire silver boat.

But the Cangyun Sect side fell into an awkward situation! The attitude of the Cangjing Three Great Families was out of the ordinary; evidently they intended to take advantage of the opening of the Cangjing Martial Arts Tournament to establish prestige by targeting Lu Yuan.

However, the people of the Cangyun Sect had no reservations whatsoever!

"How absurd! What's the Cangjing Three Great Families to us? Lu Yuan is a core disciple of our Cangyun Sect—who dares to move against him?"

"Exactly! Whoever dares to harm Lu Yuan, I will absolutely not let them off!"

"Lu Yuan, do you even dare to bully people from our Cangyun Sect? Hmph, it seems you're really tired of living!"

"Hahaha! The mere Cangjing Three Great Families—what are they even worth?"

"Hmph! You three, get down here immediately to kowtow and make amends! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

A few sentences, spoken with an extremely loud voice, instantly dispersed the fierce, murderous aura on the silver boat.

These words also left the people of Cangjing's three great families feeling embarrassed, their faces turning dark with shame and anger.

"How unreasonable!"

"You Cangyun Sect are being too presumptuous!"

"Lu Yuan, since they don't know how to appreciate favors, don't blame us for being rude!"

"Hmph! Do you really think you, a rabble, can stop us?"

"Cut the nonsense! Blast him off the boat!"

Splash—

Before the words even finished, within several hundred zhang around the silver boat, swarms of black-clad martial artists surged forth, each exuding killing intent that pierced the heavens, killing intent filling the air! Seeing them, the faces of the Cangyun Sect disciples on the silver boat's deck all changed! "Hiss! The people of Cangjing's three great families actually got ready?"

"Not good!"

"They clearly intend to take the opportunity to strike back at Lu Yuan; should we help or not?"

"Help? Hah! Are you stupid? Although we, Cangyun Sect, and Lu Yuan are both sect disciples, our relationship isn't close!"

"Oh... I see!"

Everyone hearing this was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

If it were merely an ordinary dispute between disciples, they wouldn't mind helping out a bit.

After all, in some aspects, the two sects have countless connections, even some personal ties.

But this matter involves Lu Yuan and the Cangjing Three Great Families, making them feel it's troublesome. (End of chapter)
