Martial Master

Originally, these people were still prepared to wait and see, but now they completely dared not stay any longer and hastened their speed to leave Tianlei City.

Naturally, Qin Chen would not try to keep those who were leaving. At this moment, in a certain mansion within Tianlei City, Yuan Tianhuan, the vice president of the Martial Competition Association, was listening in terror to the news coming from his subordinates, his eyes filled with fear.

He had just broken through to the peak Martial God realm, becoming the president of the Martial Competition Association, and hadn’t even had time to stabilize his cultivation or reorganize Tianlei City before learning about the situation occurring outside. How could he not be frightened?

Gongsun Zhe was actually alive, and not only was Gongsun Zhe alive, but the president of the Black Cultivation Association was also alive, and had even slain the ancestor of the Xiao family, Xiao Dongyan, at the entrance of Tianlei City.

All of this was completely different from what Palace Master Shangguan Xier had said, causing Yuan Tianhuan to lose all capacity for thought.

“Vice President, what should we do now? President Wuyong hasn’t returned, and the Tianxun Association is currently registering identity tokens. Should our Martial Competition Association members go register?”

One of Yuan Tianhuan’s trusted aides said nervously.

Although he didn’t know as much as Yuan Tianhuan, he understood that the fact that President Wuyong hadn’t survived while Gongsun Zhe had meant something significant. The major factions in Tianlei City were already in competition with each other, and if President Wuyong was dead, their Martial Competition Association would be completely finished.

“Go, let’s leave immediately.”

Yuan Tianhuan’s face showed a look of panic; he wasn’t thinking about saving the Martial Competition Association or anything like that. The first thought that surged in his mind was to run.

“Yes, let’s leave right away. While the Tianxun Association is still registering identity tokens, and the people from the Black Cultivation Association are busy setting up formations, we should blend into the crowd and leave here swiftly.”

Once this thought emerged, Yuan Tianhuan couldn’t hold back anymore and stood up abruptly.

He had to quickly notify Palace Master Shangguan Xier of this news. If Piao Miao Palace was willing to intervene, even if they lost Tianlei City now, they would eventually be able to reclaim it.

Moreover, he believed that since Shangguan Xier had invested so many resources in him, she would definitely not casually give up on him. If he could join Piao Miao Palace in the future, wouldn’t that be much better than being a puppet in Tianlei City?

However, Yuan Tianhuan wasn’t an ordinary person. He knew that the Tianxun Association would likely monitor the various factions in Tianlei City, so he didn’t leave in his original appearance. Instead, he quickly changed into a plain outfit and performed a simple disguise, quietly leaving through a secluded back door of the Martial Competition Association, preparing to blend into the crowd leaving Tianlei City.

But just as he left the mansion of the Martial Competition Association.

Buzz!

A terrifying aura suddenly surged, and the space around him solidified, completely enveloping the mansion of the Martial Competition Association.

Then Yuan Tianhuan saw with horror that Gongsun Zhe, the president of the Tianxun Association, was standing not far away.

“Yuan Tianhuan, where are you in such a hurry to go? And you even disguised yourself, tsk tsk, President Yuan truly has good tastes!” Gongsun Zhe said with a smile, but there was a chilling coldness in his eyes.

Cold sweat broke out on Yuan Tianhuan's forehead. He didn’t expect that Gongsun Zhe would be lying in wait outside the Martial Competition Association, and he recognized him immediately. Had he known this would happen, he would never have come out so openly, but at this point, it was obviously too late to think of retreating.
