The group imdiately stood up and followed behind Jiang Xinghai.
"You all go on ahead."
Since Jiang Xinghai was playing the part of the mysterious man, he naturally couldn't travel with Du Jingsong and the others.
After a mont of realization, the group got into their cars and drove toward the summit of Luolin Mountain.
The entrances around the summit were all guarded by Martial Arts masters. Every person entering held an admission ticket for the "Mountain Opening Tiger vs. The Mysterious Man" life-or-death battle.
On a large platform enclosed by pale jade railings, a three-ter-tall arena had been set up.
The area around the arena was packed with a dense crowd of people.
Everyone was seated on identical folding stools with backrests.
They were seated in circle after circle around the arena, arranged according to their status.
In one of the most prominent positions.
One of tonight's main figures, Mountain Opening Tiger Wanyan Xiong, was sitting there with his eyes closed, recuperating his energy.
Surrounding him were the hunchbacked old man Wanyan Honglie and his retinue from Central State.
As the saying goes, the student surpasses the master!
Wanyan Honglie was a man in his nineties, whose cultivation was enough to make him proud even in Central State. Yet, he never expected that his youngest son, Wanyan Xiong, would take that crucial step thirty years after leaving his side.
His gaze was filled with kindness and gratification as he stared at Wanyan Xiong, nodding to himself.
He believed that after tonight, no one in Jizhou would be able to shake the Wanyan Family!
"The Du Family has finally arrived."
Wanyan Honglie squinted his small eyes as he watched Du Jingsong and his group get out of their cars and sit to their right, also in the front row.
"That old bastard Du Jingsong... Heh. After I take care of that Jiang... I an, the mysterious man, I'll use him to set an example. From now on, the only First-class Martial Arts Clan in Jizhou will be my Wanyan Family." Wanyan Xiong opened his eyes, rely glancing at Du Jingsong's group before closing them again to rest.
"Xiong, why don't you let your father teach him a lesson for you? It's been many years since I've stretched my limbs," Wanyan Honglie said with a confident smile.
"Father, you've co from so far away. How could I let you make a move? Just leave everything to ." Wanyan Xiong's tone was very calm.
Wanyan Honglie's brow smoothed into a smile as he nodded. "Your filial piety brings great comfort, my son. It's just that this 'mysterious man' is so... mysterious. Even the dark web can't find any trace of his identity, which makes your father a little anxious. The fight starts in five minutes. You should continue conserving your strength."
"Mysterious?"
Wanyan Xiong, still with his eyes closed, gave a foxy smile. "He still hasn't shown himself right before the battle. If he doesn't show up, I'll be quite disappointed."
'He was certain that among everyone present, he was probably the only one who knew that the moniker "mysterious man" was sothing he had deliberately co up with himself.'
In another corner near the arena, the couple Shen Zhengye and Qiao Huimin were seated.
"I can't help but feel this is a bit risky." Qiao Huimin squeezed Shen Zhengye's hand tightly.
"Risk and opportunity often go hand in hand. Based on how he's acted lately, I believe in him." Shen Zhengye's conviction was unshakable.
"Yes, it's truly rare for soone so young to have such courage and strength." Qiao Huimin also nodded to herself.
This couple had received far too many favors from Jiang Xinghai.
Now, for the sake of recomnding the Shen Family to ascend to a First-class Clan tomorrow, Jiang Xinghai had gone so far as to issue a life-or-death challenge, intending to completely eliminate Wanyan Xiong, the cancer of Jizhou!
This was all to pave the way for the Shen Family!
Beside the two of them sat two young won with extraordinary auras, whispering to each other.
"Sister Hong, is he still not answering his phone?" Ye Zhiqiu asked, her gaze fixed on the arena, her expression heavy with worry.
Mi Hong shook her head gently and said helplessly, "Before, no one was picking up. Now, it's just off."
"I wanted to give him a chance to broaden his horizons. It seems he's completely devoted to dicine and has no interest in Martial Arts. Never mind." Ye Zhiqiu dismissed her original idea.
Even the dark web couldn't uncover Jiang Xinghai's true identity.
She just hoped to build a deeper relationship with Jiang Xinghai to figure out the real identity behind this Divine Doctor.
Since this grand Martial Arts event couldn't pique Jiang Xinghai's curiosity, she would have to find another way.
At that mont, with only two minutes left until the eight o'clock life-or-death battle, Mountain Opening Tiger Wanyan Xiong stood up and walked toward the arena.
"Look, isn't that Mountain Opening Tiger?"
"Yeah, that's him! The one who's rumored to have taken that crucial step!"
"A Great Venerable?"
"Oh my god!"
"He's only in his fifties and he's already taken that step! That's terrifying!"
"And look at him! You can't even tell he's an 'old man' in his fifties. He looks like a guy in his thirties!"
"Why do we only see Mountain Opening Tiger? Where's the mysterious man?"
"That's what makes him mysterious, isn't it? He might have already arrived, just hasn't shown himself yet."
"It's also possible the mysterious man heard that Mountain Opening Tiger took that crucial step and chickened out at the last minute."
Just as the crowd was buzzing with discussion, a young man in a white chef's coat also began walking toward the arena.
He had handso features and a devilish look in his eyes. It was none other than Jiang Xinghai, the "mysterious man," after having used Transform Body and Bone!
