Chapter 67 - The Battle Among the Families
The next day, God Stone Square.
In the early morning while the sky was still dimly lit, a number of different warriors in Tianyun City had already gathered in the arenas of the Martial Competition.
In the center of the God Stone Square, on one side of the arena, which was a hundred square meters across, were large blocks of Green Stone. These Green Stones were stacked higher as they moved away from the center of the arena, so it would be more convenient to watch the fighting in the arena.
Before the five families even got here, the Green Stones around that one arena especially made for the battle of the five families were already filled with crowds.
Just as the sun rose, the warriors the five families started to arrive from all around Tianyun City.
Shi Yan followed Shi Jian. Before they even got to God Stone Square he could already see the massive crowds.
These people were nearly all warriors, mostly in the Elementary, Nascent, or Human Realms, but there were some at the Disaster or Earth Realms as well.
These Disaster and Earth Realm warriors might not have been interested in the Martial Competition, but the head-on fighting among the five families was enough to grab their attention.
On the blocks of Green Stone around the arena, you could see many warriors whispering to each other.
A lot of these warriors carried sturdy looking heavy swords and battle axes. They could have been mercenaries who came from the Dark Forest. None of them showed up in the previous days but today, they came bright and early.
When the Shi family’s people appeared in the God Stone Square, the warriors in the Square started murmuring, and made a path for the Shi family.
The Shi family hadn’t even entered the center of the arena yet, but again those warriors turned their heads to the entrance of the God Stone Square, and gasped in low voices.
The Mo family, led by Mo Tuo, all came towards the arena with grim expressions.
Shi Jian snorted. Scowling, he silently led the Shi family towards the arena.
This time, the five families were not going to watch the fights from far away in their stone towers. Instead, they would stay at the nearest distance from the arena to be able to observe every single detail, as if visiting the frontline.
On each side of the arena, the stone balconies were already set for them.
The person waiting there saw Shi Jian, and immediately they came up smiling. “Master Shi, please take your seat here.”
Shi Jian nodded and he followed him to the side of the arena, and sat on one of the stone chairs.
Many different delicacies and fine wine were brought up on the stone table for Shi Jian and the Shi family members to enjoy.
In a short moment, Mo Tuo was also lead here, his seat was arranged right across from the Shi family.
After Mo Tuo sat down, he shot a freezing gaze towards the other side. No one knew what he was thinking about.
When the sun’s beams became a little brighter, the Zuo family and the Ling family also arrived. Right when Zuo Xu got here, his seat was arranged next to the Shi family.
Zuo Xu sat down, then lightly nodded at Shi Jian, indicating that everything’s going well with the Misty Pavilion, and they communicated in silence.
The Ling family was friendly with the Mo family, so naturally they were arranged to be sat together.
When Ling Shao Feng got here, he even smiled while walking over to the Mo family’s side, comforting the gloomy-looking Mo Chan, and found an opportunity to talk to Mo Yanyu.
Mo Chaoge, who went missing, was Mo Zhan’s father. Knowing that his father was taken, Mo Zhan had been containing his anger for a while, just waiting for his bloody revenge in the Martial Competition.
When the sun rose high above the sky, Beiming Shang finally arrived with the masters of the Beiming family.
Beiming Shang’s expression was cold and a freezing energy swirled around his body. Wherever he went, the warriors of the Merchant Union all respectfully made the path for him.
Behind him was Beiming Ce who looked arrogant, followed by Mu Yu Die and Di Yalan.
The person arranging seats was a slave of the Beiming family, and upon seeing his master, he naturally gave him the best seat. Bowing, he invited Beiming Shang and Beiming Ce to sit, then immediately called the servants to bring up the delicacies and fine wine.
Both the quality and amount of the luxurious food was obviously better than the other four families. The superior position of the Beiming family in the Union was, as always, unobstructed.
After the five families had taken their seats, Beiming Shang moaned, then said nonchalantly, “The rules are the same every year and I’m not going to say much. The Martial Competition is only a way to communicate and learn from each other. I hope everyone can restrain themselves as much as possible. Hopefully no one gets killed.”
The heads of the other four families all lightly nodded.
Beiming Shang looked around, his eyes gazed deeply at both Mo Tuo and Shi Jian, and said, “Like always, battle invitations are allowed, and you can also add more bets if you please, now who’s going first?”
“Yu!” Mo Tuo shouted.
Mo Yanyu, who was standing in the group of Mo family members, walked down first. Her eyes cold and chilling. Looking towards the direction of the Shi family, she said, “Mo family Mo Yanyu, Nascent Realm, Second Sky. Who is willing to enlighten me?”
“Snow Fall City, a silver sand mine, here is the land title deed.” Mo Tuo scowled, and snorted.
A dedicated warrior of the Mo family took the deed from his hand, and put it on a round table in the arena next to the Beiming family. The round table was made for placing bets.
“Sunset City, the franchise of Dong Guan Street.” Shi Jian also snorted, he took three yellow sheets from his brocade pocket, and passed it to the director next to him.
When the three pages of yellow paper was also on the round table, Shi Jian said coldly, “Tian Luo, go.”
Shi Tian Luo shook for a moment, then he also walked to the arena, and said with distinction, “Shi family Shi Tian Luo, Nascent Realm, Second Sky, please enlighten me.”
“Mo family’s Mo Yanyu! Shi family’s Shi Tian Luo! Both are at the Second Sky of the Nascent Realm. The two masters, have you made the decision to fight?” The skinny director stood next to the round table and shouted out.
