Not long after they left, a black figure arrived at the Guo Manor. Without a sound, like a specter, he swept his gaze across the courtyard. Then, he casually formed a hand seal, and his entire person disappeared.
"What, the Guo Manor was exterminated?"
Soon, Du Feng also heard the news. It was Xie Haikun who told him. The matter was very simple. Lady Guo hated Su Mei, and Du Feng protected Su Mei at every turn, so the two had a conflict. Therefore, Lady Guo ordered her brother, Jia Kai, to deal with Du Feng, but Jia Kai disappeared without a trace. According to the inference, he was killed.
Because Jia Kai was the one who stirred up trouble, and there were no traces at the scene, there was no way to catch Du Feng without evidence, so she spent money to hire a demon cultivator killer. Later, Captain Yan came across this matter and used his intelligence to extract the truth from the Guo Manor. The City Defense Force wiped out the Guo Manor's traitors in one fell swoop. Captain Yan was meritorious in eliminating traitors, and was even praised by Chief Commander Di Ming.
"Hmph, good job, eradicating traitors."
Not only did he whitewash himself, but he also poured dirty water on Lord Du. Jia Kai was indeed killed by Du Feng, but no one knew about it. Only Lady Guo speculated so. But when Yan Xuguang announced it, it was equivalent to everyone knowing. Although the Castellan Manor would not convict Du Feng, the residents of the city would tacitly accept it. This would not be good for his reputation.
Fine, let them fight each other first. The Guo Manor was originally a big worry for Du Feng. Now that it was eliminated by Di Ming and Yan Xuguang, it was equivalent to one less trouble. In the following days, Du Feng basically did not go out. He cultivated at home every day, waiting for news from Luosheng Sect.
The challenge notice had been sent out, and he believed that Warsky would rush back in time after receiving the notice. If he really did not accept the challenge in a month, then he would break through to Cultivation.
"Brother, why don't I go out and ask around?"
Only Du Feng lived in the front yard, the others lived in the backyard. Without permission, they would not come over. The wood spirit girl appeared from the tattoo on her shoulder, planning to go out and ask around for Du Feng. The past few days had been too peaceful. Not to mention sneak attacks, no one had even come to visit.
When people passed by the Du Manor, they seemed to intentionally avoid it. Xiao Chengjiang listened to Du Feng's instructions and followed Xie Haikun closely. As for Xiao Qianqian, she stayed in the backyard to tidy up and cultivate.
Feng Siyuan, that brat, wanted to sneak to bet a few times, but was always stopped by his grandfather. The atmosphere outside was not right. This was the calm before the storm.
"There's no need for that. I believe they will inform us soon."
Du Feng had already sensed that there were many people lying in ambush outside Du Feng. Some of them were definitely Di Ming's men, but there were also a few whose auras were very different. Unlike the people from the City Defense Team who were so old-fashioned, those few people were filled with a tyrannical aura, and they even had a hint of wilderness to them. They should have just returned from a faraway place.
If he guessed correctly, Zhan Tian had brought his men back. The reason he had not made a move yet was because he was adjusting his condition and sending someone to check on the situation.
"Beep beep beep …"
While Du Feng and the wood spirit were chatting, the Huang Luosheng badge on his chest beeped.
"This is?" The wood spirit's eyes widened as she stared at the yellow badge.
"Yes, it's here."
Du Feng nodded his head and started reading the message on the Luo Sheng emblem. The content was simple. Contestant Zhan Tian has accepted the challenge. The challenge fee of one thousand blue crystals will be deducted. In the territory of the Southern Continent, nothing was more important than money. At such an important moment, the first thing to be announced was the deduction.
When the challenge was issued, the white-bearded old man had already said it. If the opponent accepted the challenge, the one thousand blue crystals would not be refunded. If the opponent did not accept the challenge after a month, Du Feng would come and collect the money.
Tonight, at the Rashomon Arena in the outer city of Stone Plain City. The time was the same as before, but the location had changed. This was a new place. Even Feng Guozang's map did not mark it.
"Is it going to be tonight?"
Du Feng thought for a while and told Su Jie the news. After she knew, she quickly ran over from the backyard.
"Yes, but the location has changed. Look, it's this place."
Du Feng took out the map and pointed. There were no signs of any arena or shop in that location. Moreover, it was closer to the inner city walls. There was only one bridge to enter the inner city from the outer city. Outside the city walls was a moat. Separated by the moat was the outer city where everyone lived.
"I know this place."
Su Jie had lived in the inner city for many years. She had wandered around the moat before. In the past, she had followed her father and watched a match there. If she remembered correctly, it was a match related to Zhan Tian. The challenger at that time was very strong, but he was torn apart by Zhan Tian in the end.
"Brother, are you really going to fight with that barbarian?"
After a while, Su Mei also rushed over from the Gao Mansion. Naturally, Su Jie had told her. Du Feng did not object. He even used the formation to let Su Mei enter the house.
"A thousand blue crystals have already been spent. How can I not fight?"
Du Feng laughed. He knew that Su Mei loved to gamble. There would definitely be many spectators for this match. With Zhan Tian's appearance, the total amount of bets would probably reach a new height.
"What's the point of spending so much money? Why don't you let Sister use it to bet?"
Su Mei punched Du Feng's shoulder with her little pink fist. Brother Du is really becoming more and more heroic. In the past, he just threw out blue crystals whenever he wanted. When they first met, he even fought to the death with others in the arena for that bit of money.
"Brother, I want to go too."
Everyone came over from the backyard. Feng Siyuan strongly requested for Du Feng to bring him along. This time, the little guy wanted to bet all his savings on Brother Du's victory.
"The benevolent are invincible. We all believe in you."
This time, Feng Guozang did not object to Feng Siyuan's bet. Instead, he patted Du Feng's shoulder. Back then, he was crippled by Zhan Tian. Even after decades, he still had no way to take revenge. Now, he could only rely on Du Feng's ability.
"Yes, the benevolent are invincible. Brother Du is the best."
Xiao Qianqian chuckled, as if she did not know how dangerous this match would be. Thus, the impression that Du Feng gave her was that he would never do anything he was not confident of.
"Help me bet some too."
Xiao Chengjiang still had to be on duty at night and could not go to the venue to watch the match. However, he also decided to bet all the money he had accumulated over the years on Du Feng. On the other hand, if Du Feng lost, he and his sister would not be able to live in the Du Residence anymore. They would probably be killed within a few days.
