After exchanging a few more polite words, Li Shenglong turned and left.

Watching Li Shenglong's departing figure, Ye Feng's lips curled into a cold smile.

This guy is about to die and doesn't even realize it. I wonder what he'll think when the moment of death comes.

The Divine Dragon Dharma Assembly began soon.

The Divine Dragon Sect Square was now packed with people.

On the central arena, two people were standing. With a command from the protector who was acting as the referee, the two disciples of the Divine Dragon Sect began to fight fiercely.

The disciples of the Divine Dragon Cult below the stage all clapped and cheered, but Ye Feng lost interest after watching for only a short while.

The two Divine Dragon Cult disciples on the arena were only at the early stage of the Separation and Union Realm, so their battle was really not worth watching.

In the eyes of the night wind, it was almost no different from children fighting.

Before long, the two disciples on the stage had a winner, and the result was exactly as Ye Feng had predicted. Sure enough, the taller disciple won the match.

“It’s my turn next,” Chen Nianzhu suddenly said.

Lu Qianlan laughed and said, "Then you'd better be careful. Your opponent is Zhao Donghua, and he's quite strong."

"I will be careful."

Chen Nianzhu nodded vigorously.

After Chen Nianzhu went on stage, a young man followed her onto the stage.

It seems this person is Zhao Donghua, whom Lu Qianlan mentioned.

Zhao Donghua had a cold expression and a ruthless gaze; one could tell at a glance that he was the decisive and straightforward type.

Sure enough, as soon as the guardian on the stage finished speaking, Zhao Donghua rushed towards Chen Nianzhu and struck straight at her vital points!

“Although Zhao Donghua isn’t very strong, only at the early stage of the Separation and Union Realm, he has a wealth of combat experience and is quite famous in our Divine Dragon Sect. But for some reason, he has a particular hatred for female warriors,” Lu Qianlan explained.

"Could it be that he was hurt by the female warrior?" Ye Feng asked with a smile.

"That's possible. We've all guessed that way. There are several versions of the rumors circulating among the disciples," Lu Qianlan said with a wry smile.

The battle on stage became increasingly intense.

Chen Nianzhu's situation became increasingly precarious.

Chen Nianzhu and Zhao Donghua are both at the early stage of the Separation and Union Realm. Their levels are not much different and are basically on par.

However, in terms of combat experience, Chen Nianzhu is far inferior to Zhao Donghua.

Zhao Donghua's every move was designed to kill, but Chen Nianzhu hesitated and dragged her feet when she made her move, showing no decisiveness whatsoever.

As a result, Chen Nianzhu was naturally being suppressed and beaten by Zhao Donghua!

However, Ye Feng wasn't worried about Chen Nianzhu, since he wasn't familiar with her anyway.

However, Zhao Donghua on the stage aroused Ye Feng's curiosity.

The night wind gathered true energy in his eyes, and his pupils gradually turned golden-red, but vertical pupils had not yet appeared.

After gathering his true energy, Ye Feng's vision changed.

Under the watchful eye of the night wind, all of Zhao Donghua's hidden secrets were exposed!

It was at this moment that Ye Feng was surprised to discover that Zhao Donghua on the stage was actually a woman!

“Zhao Donghua is a woman,” Ye Feng whispered.

"What?"

Lu Qianlan was startled.

Zhao Donghua on the ring was dressed as a man, and from any angle, he looked 100% like a man.

But Ye Feng said that Zhao Donghua was a woman.

Could it be that Zhao Donghua has always been a woman disguised as a man?

A strange look appeared on Lu Qianlan's face, while Ye Feng smiled.

"Zhao Donghua, your opponent is a female martial artist, don't be so ruthless!"

"That's right, don't you understand the importance of showing tenderness to women?!"

"That's outrageous! How could you do that!"

The disciples of the Divine Dragon Cult below the stage started to jeer, and Zhao Donghua on the stage showed an angry expression.

Instead of slowing down, she became even faster and more ruthless in her attacks.

Seeing this, Ye Feng found it quite amusing.

Although we don't know why Zhao Donghua disguised herself as a man, we have found out why she is not interested in female martial artists.

She was a woman, so naturally she wouldn't show the same tenderness and mercy to women as men do.

Seeing that Chen Nianzhu had nowhere to retreat and no way out, and Zhao Donghua was pressing her step by step, giving her no room to resist.

So Chen Nianzhu gritted her teeth and jumped off the stage.

I surrender!

Chen Nianzhu jumped off the stage and shouted.

The protector on the stage then announced, "Zhao Donghua wins this round!"

Chen Nianzhu returned to Lu Qianlan and Ye Feng's side, and said with a wry smile, "I was eliminated in the first round. It seems I have no chance of making it into the top ten."

“You never had a chance in the first place,” Lu Qianlan said.

"Don't be so harsh on me, okay? Besides, Senior Brother Chen is right here, please give me some face..." Chen Nianzhu said.

As she spoke, Chen Nianzhu glanced at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng turned his head away from her, lest this woman develop any inappropriate thoughts about him.

Chen Nianzhu lost, but the Dharma assembly continued.

Two more disciples of the Divine Dragon Cult went up on stage to compete.

After several rounds, it was finally Lu Qianlan's turn.

After the guardian on the stage finished reading out the name, Lu Qianlan leaped onto the stage and stood with her hands behind her back.

Then, another male martial artist came to the arena—it was Chen Gang, one of Li Shenglong's confidants!

That day in the valley, it wasn't just Li Shenglong who attacked Lu Qianlan and Chen Shuyao; Jia Yang and Chen Gang also did!

Jia Yang had already been imprisoned in the dungeon by the protector for his sneak attack on Lu Qianlan in the square, and he wouldn't be able to get out anytime soon.

"Chen Gang, Chen Shuyao is dead. I wonder if you've ever regretted it?" Lu Qianlan asked.

Chen Gang's expression was somewhat complicated.

He glanced at Lu Qianlan before saying, "I don't regret it. What's past is past."

"Since that's the case, then there's nothing more to say," Lu Qianlan said coldly.

Lu Qianlan wanted to see if Chen Gang had any remorse.

After all, Chen Gang was not the mastermind behind the attacks on her and Chen Shuyao; he was merely an accomplice.

If he feels remorse or even wants to repent, Lu Qianlan might consider sparing his life.

But now that he has said that, Lu Qianlan has no intention of showing him any mercy.

"start!"

At the guardian's command, Chen Gang pulled out two axes from his storage ring and charged towards Lu Qianlan.

As soon as he reached her, Chen Gang swung his axe at Lu Qianlan, seemingly wanting to split her in two from head to toe!

The disciples of the Divine Dragon Cult below the stage gasped in astonishment at this sight.

"My God, this is murder!"

"Do Chen Gang and Lu Qianlan have a grudge?"

"Haven't you heard yet?"

"There were rumors that it wasn't Li Shenglong who found the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover in the valley, but Lu Qianlan and Chen Shuyao. In order to steal the credit, Li Shenglong joined forces with Chen Gang and Jia Yang to attack Chen Shuyao and Lu Qianlan."
