"You surnamed Liu, I, Wang Shi, swear I will never let you get away with this!"

The man angrily cursed a few times, and after he finished, he noticed that everyone around him was looking at him strangely. He raised an eyebrow and said, "What are you looking at!"

"Is it Liu Changqing?" someone suddenly asked.

"So what if it is!" The man thought the other party was provoking him and immediately sneered.

"Don't get excited, buddy, you're nothing special," another martial artist from the Mountain and Sea Realm, who had lost an arm, said calmly.

"What's the meaning?"

"What do you think we're waiting for?" the one-handed martial artist from the Mountain and Sea Realm chuckled.

The man was stunned, but he quickly realized something. His gaze swept around, passing over the silent figures that contained immense rage, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

"Could it be that you..."

No one answered him.

But isn't this also a kind of answer?

The man froze, then gasped, "How is this possible!"

Looking around, there are at least a hundred martial artists from the Mountain and Sea Realm gathered at the entrance, which is more than half of the participants in the Wuding Bridge training.

They were all wiped out by Liu Changqing in one fell swoop?

How absurd!

The martial artists who enter the Wuding Bridge for training are all newcomers to the world of martial arts. Even if there are a few exceptional talents, in the history of the Wuding Bridge, there is at most a record of one person defeating thirty.

That's already a rather unbelievable legend.

And now, someone has emerged who has defeated a hundred people single-handedly.

Among them were even prodigies like Qiu Ji and Wei Shujiao.

This is something completely beyond our comprehension.

"Liu Changqing isn't alone; there's a mysterious figure acting with him." "That's right, that person is invisible and elusive, with unpredictable methods; he's even more terrifying than Liu Changqing..."

"If it weren't for that person's existence, even if Liu Changqing wasn't an ordinary person, how could we have been so powerless to fight back?"

Once one person spoke up, everyone else couldn't help but chime in.

"Today, we must demand justice from these two!"

"When has such a rule-breaking thing ever happened at Wuding Bridge?"

"This is a training ground, not Liu Changqing's private garden!"

"To devour them completely, leaving no room for escape, is no different from a foreign race!"

Many of the Mountain and Sea Warriors who suffered heavy losses in the process roared in anger.

Some remained silent, some had shifty eyes, but the majority of voices condemned the attacks, and some even began to speak recklessly.

"Gentlemen, this is inappropriate."

However, a discordant voice emerged.

"Qiu Ji, what do you mean by that?"

Many people's eyes turned to the young man in the corner, and someone asked in an unfriendly tone.

"Have you forgotten? The grudges of Wuding Bridge can only remain at Wuding Bridge. This is a rule set by the Council of Kings and Nobles."

Qiu Ji shook his head and said calmly.

The atmosphere froze. In fact, everyone knew the rule, but they had subconsciously chosen to ignore it because they were all united in their hatred of the enemy.

"Are we just going to let it go like this?" someone shouted. "Qiu Ji, you didn't even manage to protect your gains at Wuding Bridge despite using forbidden martial arts techniques. Not to mention you'll need at least a month to recover to your full strength. How many resources will you lose in that month? Are you willing to accept that?"

"Of course I'm not willing to accept this!"

Qiu Ji said coldly, "But I won't do anything foolish. This isn't the way to seek justice."

“All you do is complain that Liu Changqing broke the rules, but what you’re saying is completely unfounded. Wuding Bridge is a place for fair competition. To put it bluntly, you’re just wasting your time!”

"Do you have a better way?"

"While you were all making a fuss, I had already thought it through carefully."

Qiu Ji said coldly, "Let me ask you all a question: what is your personal relationship with Liu Changqing?"

"There's a slight grudge..."

"We have no connection whatsoever!"

"That guy is a jinx, and he has a foul mouth. Who would want to be friends with him?"

Many people responded instinctively.

"Why are you asking this?" asked a silent, aloof woman named Wei Shujiao, frowning.

"So I can understand it this way: no one present was Liu Changqing's friend, right?"

Qiu Ji didn't answer him, but just said to himself, "Then the question is, that mysterious person is obviously in cahoots with Liu Changqing. Given that Liu Changqing has practically no friends, who can help him, and who has the ability to help him?"

"What exactly are you trying to say after all this beating around the bush?" Wei Shujiao asked coldly.

"What I want to say is very simple. All two hundred martial artists from the Mountain and Sea Realm who participated in the Wuding Bridge training this time have their own acquaintances, but I have asked countless people, and no one knows who that mysterious person is..."

"Adding to the conclusion we just reached, this is really too abnormal."

Qiu Ji glanced deeply at the entrance. "Unless, that person wasn't originally among us, wasn't on... the list!"

"What?"

Qiu Ji's speculation sparked a commotion.

"You mean, a top-tier Mountain and Sea Realm expert has infiltrated it?" Wei Shujiao's expression changed as well. "That's impossible, isn't it?"

"Why is it impossible?" Qiu Ji said calmly. "It's not like this hasn't happened before, it's just that no one has succeeded. The end of the Wuding Bridge is the treasure of a king and noble... No mountain or sea could remain unmoved."

Everyone fell silent for a moment, but after carefully considering Qiu Ji's words, they couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"Legend has it that of the nine disciples of the Marquis of Jingcheng, apart from Shen Qian, the national martial arts champion, the others all have mysterious origins and whereabouts, and they never mingle with us. Could it be one of them?"
