Chapter 537: Chapter 199: Seeking the Truth Lineage, Invincible at the Same Level? You’re the One They Say is Invincible at the Same Level! (Requesting Monthly Tickets!!!)_2

Even with the scorching sun overhead, the enthusiasm of the Immortal City cultivators couldn’t be suppressed at this moment, as the City Lord personally appeared outside the arena today.

They wondered which warrior could slay the Western Barbarian today, allowing them to vent their pent-up frustrations from previous humiliations.

At this moment, a large tent had been temporarily set up in front of Fang Yuan’s arena, with three sides completely enclosed and only one side open, facing the arena with an excellent view.

Under the arena, Fang Yuan and his companion respectfully saluted Su Wu, as he was a Nascent Soul Master and deserved respect at this moment.

Then, Fang Yi stayed alone on top of the arena, while Fang Yuan sat down to Su Wu’s right. Su Wu appeared very magnanimous.

His generosity somewhat comforted the hearts of the surrounding Immortal City cultivators, as Western Barbarians clearly couldn’t understand the grace of the East Victory Immortal Dynasty cultivators.

With the City Lord’s imposing presence, the arrogance of the Western Barbarians was temporarily suppressed. However, the presence of Zhou Ning and more than thirty Golden Core Daoists under the tent led to heated discussions among Immortal City cultivators.

Earlier, following Su Wu’s instructions, the City Lord Mansion had already circulated information about the Zhou Family. Today, it would be the decisive battle between them and the Western Barbarians.

The Zhou family was now placed on the firing line by Su Wu, and they had no choice but to fight unless they were willing to bear the disgrace of fleeing from battle.

However, in doing so, Su Wu would have the final say, and the Zhou family could not find any other reason to object. This was not the outcome they wanted.

At least not for now.

With a glance at the location where the Zhou Family stood, Su Wu asked with a smile, “Patriarch Zhou, I wonder who you have chosen to be the first one to fight?”

Just as Zhou Ning was about to speak, Zhou Shen stepped forward and said, “City Lord, this young man will be the first to fight today.

The Patriarch told me last night that, as the youngest, I need to be brave and diligent, and thus, I must not back down.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ning hesitated because he hadn’t said any of those things last night. He wondered what Zhou Shen was up to, but after a moment, he relaxed.

It seemed that Zhou Shen wasn’t completely wrong. Besides, Zhou Ning realized that this must have been the Ancestor’s intention, wasn’t it?

As Zhou Shen spoke, Fang Yuan stared intently at him but couldn’t detect anything unusual about him for the time being.

Afterwards, he could only be more vigilant in his heart, not too worried. As long as their opponents were Golden Core Realm cultivators, the two brothers were not afraid.

Seeking the Truth Lineage, unrivaled at the same level!

Seeing Zhou Shen step forward, Su Wu was extremely satisfied in his heart. It seemed that the previous guess about Zhou Family’s strength would have to be adjusted.

Zhou Shen’s actions must have been Zhou Ning’s intention. He was clever enough to understand that Su Wu was somewhat dissatisfied the day before, so he had made such a decision specifically.

Everything was for Su Wu to see that the Zhou Family would use the life of a talented cultivator as proof of their unwavering loyalty to the City Lord Mansion.

However, this also indicated that the Zhou family knew their limits. Even with their great strength, they couldn’t shake the ruling power of the City Lord Mansion. Otherwise, why would they be so concerned with pleasing them?

Even so, Su Wu had no intention of letting the Zhou family off the hook. In Longevity Immortal City, it was better for the Zhou family to have average strength.

If not, why would they maintain so many Golden Core Daoists in their ranks? What would their intentions be!?

This was similar to scheming for power in the mortal world, Su Wu wouldn’t allow the emergence of a force that could pose a threat to him within Longevity Immortal City.

However, Su Wu appeared appreciative on the surface, as if he were proud to have such a hot-blooded young man in the city.

“Good! Worthy of being the pride of My Immortal City, you just go ahead and fight!”

Having said that, he suddenly shuddered for some unknown reason, momentarily dazed before instantly recovering. He then got up and spoke in a voice that was not loud but clearly audible to everyone within a hundred miles around.

“This is the pride of My Immortal City, Zhou Shen. Today, at only two hundred and thirty-one years old, he has already entered the Golden Core Realm. Is he not a worthy pride of My Longevity Immortal City?”

Upon hearing these words, the cultivators in the city went wild with excitement. Was the Western Barbarian that powerful when he was over two hundred years old? Could he have entered the Golden Core Realm then?

Fang Yuan couldn’t help but be taken aback upon hearing this. To have such a cultivation realm at this age, one’s entire cultivation journey would be smooth sailing, as long as there were no insurmountable bottlenecks.

With that thought, Fang Yi couldn’t help but narrow his eyes—this young prodigy’s fortune must be seized by him.

However, the now-seated Su Wu couldn’t help but feel puzzled. Why had he abruptly praised Zhou Ning just now?

Zhou Shen was but a dead man walking, after all, and it didn’t affect the overall situation; this was the Western Barbarian, unrivaled at the same level.

At this moment, Su Wu didn’t know that his sudden action earlier was caused by someone else controlling the means that had been hidden inside him, resulting in this abnormality.

And who else but Liang Sheng could accomplish this?

In fact, Liang Sheng didn’t want to get involved, but since Zhou Shen was Jin Quanxiu’s disciple, Liang Sheng felt obliged out of respect for his master.

So, yesterday, out of his fondness for Jin Quanxiu, Liang Sheng sent the Spiritual Device Armor. However, an accident occurred afterward. In the Law of Cause and Effect, he saw a new scene just because of this action.

This result caused Liang Sheng to divert some of his attention and increase his investment in Zhou Shen. Everything he did was actually an experiment.

He wanted to see what changes would occur if he treated Zhou Ning so well and whether the actual situation would match the scene in the Law of Cause and Effect.
