The forces in Blackwater City were intertwined with each other. Some were enemies, some were allies. It was extremely complicated. This was even more evident in the city within the city.
The Lin family focused on commerce and was worthy of being the number one family in Blackwater City. The entire trade zone within the city was managed by the Lin family. After the Lin family was the Bai family and the Chang family.
The Bai family made its fortune in mining and had a weak foundation. It was a family that had only risen in the past decade. The Chang family was known for their martial arts. This arena was the property of the Chang family.
The group of young men in brocade robes was led by a young man in white. This person was called Chang Kuan. He was the successor of the Chang family and had a very high status.
"You must be Xiao Chen. You are so arrogant at such a young age. You even offended my brother. You are really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers."
Beside Bai Yudong, Chang Kuan looked at Ye Chen coldly and sneered. "You were lucky that day to have Master Wu's protection. But this is my territory. If you dare to cause trouble, I will make you regret it in the next moment."
Ye Chen turned his head and glanced at Chang Kuan. The two had never met before, but when they met, the smell of gunpowder was very strong. Obviously, Bai Yudong had added fuel to the fire. Therefore, Ye Chen just looked at him indifferently and then shifted his gaze to the arena.
What should one do when a mad dog barks?
The best way was to ignore it and stay silent.
If the dog barks at you, you can't bark at the dog. The dog is a beast, and you are a human. How can you treat them the same?
These family members had always been arrogant and thought that they were little tyrants. When they spoke, you had to listen. When they stood, you had to lie down. If you ignored them, they would bark and bark.
"Brat, are you deaf?
Didn't you hear Brother Kuan talking to you? "
A guy standing behind Chang Kuan shouted at Ye Chen. However, Ye Chen still remained silent and ignored him. He didn't even move his eyebrows.
"Answer me, lowly person!"
Ye Chen's silence made Chang Kuan feel ashamed, especially since this arena was his family's property. There were so many Lin family members coming and going, and he couldn't even handle a brat who was still wet behind the ears. How was he going to manage the entire family in the future?
"How foolish."
Lin Changtian turned his head and shouted at Chang Kuan, "Chang Kuan, don't you think you're a crazy dog? You've been shouting and yelling all this time."
Chang Kuan's body stiffened and his chest heaved up and down. He had been ignored, and now he was being scolded, but this Lin Changtian was someone he couldn't afford to offend. He could only suffer in silence and swallow his tears.
"This matter has nothing to do with your Lin Family. Don't meddle in other people's business." Chang Kuan's voice clearly weakened. Although the Chang Family was strong, they were still lacking compared to the Lin Family.
"Xiao Chen's business is my business, and my business is the Lin Family's business. So, if you're looking for trouble with Xiao Chen, you're looking for trouble with me, and even more so with the Lin Family. Do you understand?" Lin Changtian added casually with a mocking smile on his face.
"Lin Changtian, this is the arena, the Chang Family's territory. Don't you dare cross the line!" Chang Kuan's face was so dark that it was scary. He glared at Lin Changtian.
Lin Changtian scratched his ear and turned around. He didn't look at Chang Kuan anymore. His voice was calm as he said, "So what if this is the arena?
If you dare to touch a hair on my head, I'll bring a group of people to your Chang Family tomorrow. We'll see who's the one who dies in the end. "
Lin Changtian's calm words made Chang Kuan's heart tremble. He didn't doubt Lin Changtian's words at all. Years ago, there was a young master of a family who mocked Lin Changtian, and in less than half a day, that family was completely wiped out.
Since then, the name Lin Changtian had spread throughout Blackwater City.
Just as Chang Kuan was stuck between a rock and a hard place, Ye Chen suddenly spoke. He looked at the furious Chang Kuan and said indifferently, "I won't stop you if you want to show off your might in front of so many people. But before you do so, please think carefully about whether you have the qualifications and ability to do so."
Ye Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it attracted the attention of everyone present. This kid dared to talk to Chang Kuan like this, wasn't he a little too arrogant?
"I just came to Blackwater City not long ago, and this Bai Yudong pissed me off. I slapped him in the face, beat up his guards, and even provoked his father. But now, do you think I have anything to do with it?"
"That's right. Even Bai Zhenhua doesn't dare to provoke me. You're actually stupid enough to threaten me. Your intelligence is really worrying. You're being used as a tool, and you still think you're so powerful. Calling you a dog is already overestimating your intelligence."
Hearing this, Chang Kuan took a few steps back. His surging anger had almost burned away his rationality. He didn't mind being scolded by Lin Changtian. After all, he was the young master of the Lin family. But this kid, a wandering warrior, dared to challenge his authority.
"Xiao Luo, do you know you're playing with fire?" Chang Kuan's entire face was distorted with anger.
"Sorry, I really didn't know."
Ye Chen shrugged his shoulders and revealed a harmless smile.
This smile was so unforgettable in Lin Chuxue's eyes. Back then, when Bai Zhenhua used the White Dragon Silver Spear, this boy also revealed a smile like this. It was as if in his eyes, there was nothing that could make him feel fear.
Right at this moment, a loud roar broke everyone's train of thought. Ye Chen turned around and looked at the center of the stage.
In the steel cage, the battle from before had already ended. At this moment, an old man was leading a ferocious tiger into the arena.
The roar a moment ago came from this fierce tiger.
"Bramble snow tiger?"
Ye Chen was slightly surprised. This Bramble Snow Tiger's strength was at the second Heavenly Layer of truth realm. Its snow-white fur was covered with thorn-like barbs, and these barbs were highly toxic. Once touched, even a truth level expert would be in trouble.
Ye Chen did not expect that such a powerful spirit beast would appear in the arena.
"Strange, how can this bramble snow tiger appear here?" Lin Chuxue's voice came.
"Is there a problem?" Ye Chen asked.
Lin Chuxue nodded and said, "This Bramble Snow Tiger is the guardian spirit beast of the Lin family. It was raised by the head of the Chang family, Chang Houde, for more than twenty years before it could grow to this stage. Logically speaking, it shouldn't come to a place like the Arena.
At this time, Chang Kuan strode to the front of the ring, opened his hands and said in a clear voice: "After watching such a fierce fight for so long, I think everyone is a little tired. Next, I will give everyone a different kind of entertainment."
Hearing this, the eyes of the surrounding crowd lit up and they looked towards the center of the ring.
"Release those two fellows."
Chang Kuan turned his head and said. Immediately, the metal cage at the back of the arena opened and two young men in linen clothes walked out. Their hands and feet were covered in heavy metal cuffs and every step they took seemed to be incomparably difficult.
"The rules are very simple. As long as I give the order, the bramble snow tiger will chase these two guys and use the ring as the boundary. Let's see if these two guys can last for half an hour. If they are able to survive, the odds are one to ten. Otherwise, the odds are one to two. If both of them are killed by the bramble snow tiger at the same time, they will be killed!"
