After a brief moment of shock, Wang Shu’s expression returned to calmness. “What? You dare to make a move?”
He simply did not believe that Zhou Feng would dare to make a move. After all, this was the inner city of Heavenly Star City.
It was different from the outer city, where management was lax.
As long as no one was caught in the outer city, then nothing major would happen.
But as long as anyone dared to fight in the inner city, they would all be caught; unless one was strong enough to ignore Heavenly Star City’s rules.
It was because of this that Wang Shu was not afraid of Zhou Feng making a move.
This formed a stark contrast with Bai Lie, hiding at the side.
“…”
Zhou Feng did not say anything. He only frowned.
At that moment, he was calculating how to escape from Heavenly Star City.
If he could kill Wang Shu in one fell swoop, it should not be a problem for him to escape from Heavenly Star City while everyone was not paying attention.
He just needed to consider how to face Heavenly Star City’s pursuit.
In Zhou Feng’s mind, the person who wanted to harm him had to be eliminated immediately.

The longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.
There was no chance of reconciliation between him and Wang Shu.
If this continued, Wang Shu would think of all sorts of ways to target him. Wang Shu would even rely on the Heavenly Star City’s rules as a protective shell and then target him in all sorts of means.
With that thought in mind, he might as well make a move directly.
If Zhou Feng let Wang Shu go this time, then there wouldn’t be many chances to make a move against Wang Shu in the future.
“It can’t be! This person seems to really want to attack?”
“No one has attacked in the inner city for a long time. Who is this person? How dare he?”
“This person seems to be a little unscrupulous. What cultivation technique does he cultivate? Why is the Blood Qi so thick?”
“…”
Zhou Feng’s serious thinking made people want to ridicule him.
Could it be that this person was considering the consequences of making a move in the inner city?
This person was stupid and bold.
Wang Shu saw Zhou Feng’s serious look and couldn’t help but feel apprehensive.
It couldn’t be for real!
“Making a move in the inner city is a very serious matter. I believe that the two distinguished guests don’t want to be like this in front of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.”
Elder Zheng walked out of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion just as the surrounding atmosphere began to freeze.
It turned out that because there were too many onlookers, the entrance of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was blocked.
The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion naturally didn’t want this kind of situation to escalate in front of their own door.
After that, Elder Zheng discovered that Zhou Feng had a conflict with someone here and became anxious. After all, it wasn’t easy for him to find a wandering prodigy that was worth investing in.
Zhou Feng hadn’t matured yet, so he couldn’t die here prematurely.
Although Elder Zheng was investing in Zhou Feng to buy some peace of mind, it was actually for the sake of having more security for his future descendants.
Elder Zheng didn’t want to lose money on this investment so quickly either.
Therefore, he stood out at the first moment to stop the conflict.
“The people from Heavenly Treasure Pavilion are out!”
“Boring! It seems that there won’t be any waves!”
Seeing Elder Zheng appear to stop the conflict, many people who wanted to watch the show could not help but look disappointed.
This conflict should not cause any waves.
Upon seeing Elder Zheng, Wang Shu also heaved a sigh of relief.
But in the next second, Elder Zheng’s words almost made Wang Shu unable to breathe.
“If the two of you really want to fight, why don’t you go to the Life-Death Arena to settle it? Since Young Master Wang is here, you must also want to revitalize the Wang Clan’s prestige!”
Elder Zheng’s words had a faint intention of targeting Wang Shu.
The Wang Clan had already declined for a very long time. It was only recently that their prestige had slightly risen.
This period was crucial for the Wang Clan. The clan’s prestige was especially important.
This suggestion would force Wang Shu to go to the Life-Death Arena and fight Zhou Feng.
If Wang Shu refused, then the Wang Clan’s momentum would be suppressed.
After all, many clans didn’t want to see a fallen clan stand up again.
If the Wang Clan regained its prestige, the cake would be shared with the Wang Clan.
The other clans were naturally not willing.
And the most vicious thing was that even if Wang Shu defeated Zhou Feng in the Life-Death Arena, he would not be able to gain prestige. After all, Zhou was a vagabond cultivator.
As the heir of a large clan, defeating a vagabond cultivator was nothing to be proud of.
There were no benefits to winning, and there were disadvantages to losing.
Wang Shu wanted to vomit blood in his heart.
‘This… Is this intentional or unintentional? Why would the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion help such a vagabond cultivator?’
Wang Shu’s current expression was as if he had swallowed a lump of shit. It was extremely ugly.
‘Life-Death Arena?’
Zhou Feng did not think that there was such a place in Heavenly Star City as well.
But thinking about it, cultivators were all proud and arrogant people—it was inevitable that there would be conflicts.
If there wasn’t a place to resolve these conflicts, they would explode one day.
“Alright! See you in the Life-Death Arena!”
Zhou Feng was naturally willing to go to the Life-Death Arena to resolve this matter.
Moreover, he had not fought for a long time, which made him uncomfortable.

After all, during his time in the Tri-Gu Sect, he had had to fight almost every once in a while.
He was used to that kind of high-pressure environment, so it was difficult for him to adapt to such a stable environment.
It was also a good opportunity to test whether his strength had declined or not.
Elder Zheng kindly reminded Wang Shu, “Young Master Wang? You don’t want to let the Wang Clan lose face, right? I am also looking forward to seeing you regain the former glory of the Wang Clan!”
In fact, this sentence was to make Wang Shu quickly make a decision.
“Of course! The reputation of our Wang Clan is not something that a mere cultivator can tarnish!”
Wang Shu braced himself and agreed.
If he didn’t agree, the clan would not let him off.
At the same time, Wang Shu felt that he was a little timid.
The person in front of him was only a mere vagabond cultivator. Although his aura was powerful, he definitely didn’t have a spiritual weapon.
There was a huge gap between the descendants of large clans and vagabond cultivators.
Wang Shu felt that he might not necessarily lose to Zhou Feng if he treated this seriously.
“But this needs to happen in three days! This will allow him to make more preparations and also prevent others from saying that my Wang Clan is bullying vagabond cultivators!”
Although Wang Shu agreed, he did not say that he would do it now. Instead, he set the time to three days later.
On the surface, he said that he was giving Zhou Feng time to prepare so as to avoid saying that the Wang Clan was bullying a vagabond cultivator.
In reality, Wang Shu felt that it was not safe, so he would take advantage of these three days to borrow a few spiritual artifacts from his clan as a guarantee.
Furthermore, this battle could also be used as a warm-up for him to marry into the Li Clan.
If he could win this match beautifully, then Wang Shu could prove himself to the Li Clan.
Other than being a silkpants, he also had some strength. He wasn’t completely useless.
If he performed well, he could even earn some reputation for the Wang Clan.
As he thought about it, Wang Shu began to calculate again.
This battle might not necessarily turn into a bad thing.
Unfortunately, what he did not know was that all of these were under the premise of being able to defeat Zhou Feng.. Otherwise, all of the above-mentioned calculations would be empty talk.
