He immediately looked up.

It was Fu Changjun from the Fu family!

At this moment, he was sitting on the high platform specially arranged by the Yuan family for the other four major families, staring at him coldly.

Even when Lu Lan noticed him, he didn't look away.

Next to him was Fu Yunqing, who had met Lu Lan before.

"Oh, it's really a narrow road for enemies to meet."

Lu Lan chuckled.

"Hmm? What did you say, Brother Lu?"

Wu Zhenqiong didn't hear clearly and asked a question.

"Nothing much. The martial arts competition is about to start, right?"

"Well, let's go over there first. That's where our Wu family is."

Soon, in the arena, in addition to the five major families of Cang Shen Kingdom, more and more major forces in Yuanling City also arrived.

However, among the three families recognized by people in Yuanling City as being under the Yuan family, apart from the Song family and the Wu family who were present, the Fang family, which is recognized as the second largest family in Yuanling City, has been late.

On the high platform of the Yuan family.

"What's going on? Doesn't the Fang family plan to come?"

Yuan Wuwei, the current head of the Yuan family, frowned, his tone clearly showing some displeasure.

In the past, even if they didn’t want to come, they would tell us in advance. Now, they don’t even tell us in advance, making it seem like the Fang family can come when they want and not come when they don’t want.

"I heard that something big happened in the Fang family, and it's a mess now."

The Yuan family elder standing beside him said:

"In my opinion, they probably don't have the heart to participate in the Yuanling Martial Arts Competition... Why not just declare them absent... Perhaps without them, more people will want to show their skills on the arena."

Yuan Wuwei thought for a moment and nodded.

Then, he stood up from his chair, concentrated his energy and amplified his voice:

"Because the Fang family arrived late, this family head now announces that the Fang family will be absent from this Yuanling Martial Arts Conference and will be deemed to have voluntarily waived their qualifications."

"Now, the Yuanling Martial Arts Competition... will begin immediately!"
