Chapter 1202: Chapter 1201: Come Out and Face Your Death

The Wu family has retreated!

Clearly, it was the Wu family who invited Yang Chen, yet now they shrink back in front of him.

This is undoubtedly a kind of irony.

In the eyes of other families, the dignity and status of the Wu family have fallen to a low point.

"The Wu family... what does this mean?"

"Yang Chen was invited by them!"

"So cowardly? They don’t even dare to face him head-on?"

"Heh! This is the Wu family for you!"

"It hasn’t even started, and they’ve already lost a big chunk of their momentum!"

"So disgraceful!"

"Bah! Wu family, I finally see through you!"

...

People from other families all showed disdainful expressions, not showing any goodwill toward the Wu family members.

Those who previously thought they had decent relations wanted to temporarily join other family groups, but only met with cold faces and icy stares.

Needless to say, they understood what it meant and left in shame.

They felt utterly humiliated themselves and naturally did not want to stay and embarrass themselves further.

Under the arrangement of the people inside the family, they entered the ancient castle hall, having a seat to wait.

Meanwhile, Yang Chen and his group sat down cheerfully.

Yang Chen was even handing out fruits, snacks, and drinks to everyone, chatting and laughing without a care.

Originally, Meng Po was full of anger, but at this moment, it disappeared completely. Holding the juice handed to her by Yang Chen, she drank with a smile and said to Yang Chen, "Master, if I’d known you would do this, I wouldn’t have been angry. It’s so satisfying!"

Yang Chen looked at the excited Meng Po, who was like a little girl, and said with a smile, "Stay calm, you can’t afford to be soft at crucial moments!"

"Yes, yes!" Meng Po nodded repeatedly, drinking the juice happily.

Seeing this scene, others felt their hearts shatter.

Clearly, she’s an ice-cold beauty, so why in front of Yang Chen does she act like a kitten?

They felt it was unfair...

The ones most excited among Yang Chen’s group were undoubtedly the Wu father and son.

Third Master Wu and Wu Yihan never sat down from the beginning until now.

They stood straight, their chins almost pointing to the sky.

Their eyes were fixed on the side of the ancient castle, on those once proud Wu family members.

Especially those who had once humiliated their father and son.

Their eyes and expressions were full of pride, like two victorious roosters, strutting back and forth beside Yang Chen, provocatively staring at those Wu family members.

The Wu family members naturally noticed the two, hating them to the core.

"Damn it! What are those two traitors being so arrogant about!"

"Damn, I want to go kill them myself!"

"Damn it, how can these two have the surname Wu? It’s a disgrace! They defiled this surname!"

"Those things that borrow others’ power, now they’re so arrogant, let’s see if they can still laugh when the event starts and Yang Chen falls!"

"If I could get out now, I would definitely kill the two of them!"

...

At this moment, the Wu family despised Wu Yihan and Third Master Wu completely.

Seeing the Wu family’s expressions full of anger and hatred, Wu Yihan and Third Master Wu felt especially elated. After being oppressed for so many years, today they finally raised their heads with pride!

"Haha!" Third Master Wu couldn’t help but laugh out loud, patting Wu Yihan on the shoulder forcefully.

No matter the outcome, Third Master Wu felt this life was worth living!

However, Third Master Wu was still a bit worried about Wu Yihan.

No matter the outcome, he thought this life was worth living. He just felt that Wu Yihan was still young, and if they failed, he feared that his youth would be wasted here.

But now was no time to worry about these things. They could only trust that Yang Chen could resolve all the current challenges.

Given their understanding of Yang Chen, if Yang Chen wasn’t confident, he wouldn’t have brought them here.

In that case, why not follow Yang Chen and look down on everyone else!

Soon, the event was about to begin.

In the venue, staff prepared the microphone.

An old man walked to the center of the venue.

The old man was dressed in gray formal attire with a goatee, looking elegant.

Taking the microphone, the old man said, "Today is an auspicious time, the grand feast is held, truly a blessing..."

His full traditional-sounding speech made people drowsy.

However, it was understandable.

Roughly speaking, it meant today’s grand feast was held, with several families gathered together, emphasizing friendship first, competition second, and not to harm harmony and such.

For the next half hour, the old man recounted past events.

Finally, as everyone was about to fall asleep, the old man announced, "The competition event, now begins!"

Only then did everyone perk up.

The old man said, "Families can challenge each other, send out participants, and propose the corresponding conditions. Everyone can participate, and you’re encouraged to sign up, as opportunities like these are rare and can affirm your martial skills."

At this time, someone from each family had already stood up.

The early competitions were between the younger generation, not too involved with family interests, just comparisons to see which family’s disciples were more outstanding, with little stakes like small items as bets, nothing significant.

But at this moment, someone shouted, "Wait a moment!"

The host old man was startled and turned to look at the ancient castle behind him.

A white figure flashed by, suddenly landing in front of the host old man.

It was Second Young Master Yun!

Everyone looked at Second Young Master Yun, wondering why he did this.

Second Young Master Yun smiled apologetically at the host old man, saying, "Would you mind if I said a few words?"

"Of course!" The host old man hurriedly handed the microphone to Second Young Master Yun.

Second Young Master Yun thanked the host old man, took the microphone, and looked around at everyone, saying, "The competition event in New City has a long history and has always been a matter among our nine great families. We are martial artists, befriending through contests, perfectly normal. Over time, it naturally became a tradition, even forming rules. As long as you’re from our nine families, everyone is eligible to participate in the challenge! However, today is different! There’s a group of people who are not from our nine great families, not qualified to sit here, not to mention participating in challenges!"

Everyone understood who Second Young Master Yun was referring to and looked over to Yang Chen’s side.

Yang Chen sneered, staring at Second Young Master Yun, with a hint of disdain on his lips.

Second Young Master Yun noticed Yang Chen’s disdainful expression, squinting his eyes, and said coldly, "These people were invited by the Wu family. I intend to ask, how does the Wu Clan Leader plan to handle these outsiders?"

Wu Clan Leader understood and jumped down, coming to Second Young Master Yun, taking the microphone and saying, "Naturally, personal vendettas need to be resolved, in front of everyone, Yang Chen! Come out and face your death!"
