Countless people all around shook their heads. Luo Chen’s words just now were far too arrogant. If the Director of the Martial Adjudication Institute actually arrived, there would truly be no room for manoeuvre.
“Heh, I would like to see how long you can maintain this arrogant face,” Zhou Qiankun sneered.
“As soon as the Director of the Martial Adjudication Institute arrives…”
“Sigh, you are truly foolish to the extreme.”
“You are waiting for Yang Tiangang, are you not?” Luo Chen said dismissively.
“How dare you directly call out the Alliance Leader’s name?” Martial Saint Wu Kong said coldly.
He did not believe that Luo Chen would truly dare to go to war with the Martial Adjudication Institute, and he believed even less that Luo Chen had the capability.
“It is just a name, why would I not dare?” Luo Chen did not care.
“Do you not hope he comes to save you?”
“Do you not want to use him to threaten me?”
“Then, Yang Tiangang, why do you not come out yet?” Luo Chen suddenly turned his head and roared at the crowd in the distance!
Everyone suddenly looked completely bewildered. Even Zhou Qiankun and Martial Saint Wu Kong were bewildered. What did this mean?
Had the Director of the Martial Adjudication Institute arrived long ago? How was that possible?
If he had arrived long ago, how could he just stand by and watch? He would have surely taken action long ago, would he not?
However, as Luo Chen’s words fell, in the far rear of the crowd, an old man wearing a hat showed a bitter smile, reached out to take off his hat, and finally walked slowly towards Luo Chen with a mix of helplessness and fear.
This old man was none other than Yang Tiangang.
In fact, he had arrived long ago, right from the very beginning.
He had watched this battle from start to finish, and for this result, he obviously felt no surprise at all. After all, he had already crossed swords with Luo Chen.
If Luo Chen had not shown mercy back then, how could he still be alive now?
Moreover, ever since crossing swords with Luo Chen, he had not wanted to come here at all. What was the point of coming? To get beaten up? Would Luo Wuji be afraid of a mere Martial Adjudication Institute?
It was just that his identity was special after all, so he had to come, but he clearly did not want to reveal himself.
In the end, as luck would have it, he was still dragged into it.
Seeing Yang Tiangang walk out, it was not just Martial Saint Wu Kong and Zhou Qiankun who were stunned. Even the tens of thousands of onlookers around were stunned. Had he really arrived long ago?
Then why did he not come out to help just now? Why did he not come out to save Zhou Qiankun and Martial Saint Wu Kong? After all, they could be considered old friends!
“Elder Yang, you, this?” Martial Saint Wu Kong asked with a trace of confusion.
The meaning was very clear. Since you arrived long ago, why did you not come out to help just now? At the very least, you are the Director of the Martial Adjudication Institute, holding a status equivalent to the Martial Arts Alliance Leader. How could you not help?
It was not just Zhou Qiankun and Martial Saint Wu Kong who were confused. Even the tens of thousands of people around had the same question. Yes, since you, elder, arrived early, why did you not take action just now?
“It is very strange, is it not?” Yang Tiangang smiled faintly.
However, the anger in his heart was already sky high. He did not want to die yet, and he had not lived enough.
Dragging him out? This was tantamount to forcing him to hold a grudge against Luo Chen. How did he have the ability or the temperament to hold a grudge against Luo Wuji?
Therefore, in the next moment, Yang Tiangang changed his face. With a fury he had never felt before, he roared fiercely.
“Because I bloody well cannot beat him, and because I cannot afford to offend Luo Wuji!”
“Understood? Got it?” Yang Tiangang roared.
The scene was completely silent. It could even be described as terrifyingly quiet. Everyone was instantly dumbfounded. They once again doubted whether there was something wrong with their ears.
He cannot beat him? Cannot afford to offend him?
In other words, did this mean he was afraid of Luo Chen? The dignified Director of the Martial Adjudication Institute, afraid of Luo Chen?
“Elder Yang, you?” Zhou Qiankun looked at Yang Tiangang with utter disbelief.
That was the former Martial Arts Alliance Leader, and the current Director of the Martial Adjudication Institute!
What had he just said? He cannot beat him? He cannot afford to offend him? How was this possible?
“Shut your mouth!” Yang Tiangang roared.
“This was originally a personal grudge between you, what does it have to do with me?” At this moment, Yang Tiangang completely abandoned all his dignity and face.
Because he knew very well that the reason Luo Chen did not kill him last time was due to his magnanimity.
If he expressed an attitude today and formed this grudge with Luo Chen, he would definitely not be able to walk ten steps before dying for sure!
“If it is a personal grudge, why did you bring up the Martial Adjudication Institute?”
“Can you, Zhou Qiankun, represent the Martial Adjudication Institute, or can you, Wu Kong, represent the Martial Adjudication Institute?” Yang Tiangang directly cursed at them.
Zhou Qiankun was stunned, and Wu Kong was also stunned. It was like a severe slap in the face.
Meanwhile, Yang Tiangang walked towards Luo Chen.
Then he lowered his head and gave a solemn cupped fist salute.
“Mr Luo, I am just a spectator, a passerby.”
“Mr Luo, this matter has nothing to do with the Martial Adjudication Institute or me. Everything is entirely up to your arrangement, Mr Luo!” Yang Tiangang said with a trace of awe.
From the battle last time, he had completely understood that a figure like Luo Chen was not someone they could afford to provoke. They were simply not on the same level!
Seeing Yang Tiangang lower his posture so much to bow down to Luo Chen, everyone’s jaws nearly dropped. They never could have imagined such a situation.
They had called out countless times, hoping for the Director of the Martial Adjudication Institute to come out.
But the moment he came out, he immediately cowered like a coward in front of Luo Chen. He did not even dare to say a single tough word, and directly drew a clear line between himself and this matter.
Even the Director of the Martial Adjudication Institute was afraid of Luo Chen!
Zhou Qiankun and Martial Saint Wu Kong finally came to their senses, and then looked at Luo Chen in horror.
They could not understand what on earth was going on.
However, Luo Chen turned around and said mockingly.
“Your backer?”
“Your reliance?”
“Hmph.” Luo Chen gave a cold chuckle.
“Is there anything else?”
“Call whoever you want!” Luo Chen looked at Zhou Qiankun with great interest.
Zhou Qiankun’s old face turned red, and Martial Saint Wu Kong was no better off.
The reliance they had boasted about for so long instantly cowered in front of Luo Chen.
Now they were still keeping their heads down, not even daring to lift them.
However, Zhou Qiankun soon regained his confidence.
Because he still had one last trump card.
It was also the most terrifying trump card.
“Fine, do not regret this!” Zhou Qiankun said.
“Wait for me to make a phone call!” Zhou Qiankun took out a phone.
“Make it, I will give you the chance!” Luo Chen did not care at all.
The call was connected very quickly, and after Zhou Qiankun said a few brief words, he hung up.
Then, his eyes were filled with unprecedented confidence.
“You are asking for death yourself, do not blame anyone else!” Zhou Qiankun threatened again.
The person he called this time was none other than an international tycoon!
The background of such a figure was simply too massive.
After all, the four words “international tycoon” were already enough to explain the other party’s identity.
“You, surnamed Luo, just wait to die.”
“Let us see if you still dare to be this arrogant when the international tycoon, the Goddess of Death, arrives,” Zhou Qiankun deliberately raised his voice and roared.
