Chapter 2737: Chapter 2712: The Strength Gap Is Far Too Great!

While Lin Bai was in seclusion, diligently cultivating the "Houtu Divine Thunder Skill" and "the Five-Thundered Skill," the day of the Dragon City Battle loomed closer.

In Houtu City, the Eight Great Clans were all gearing up, each wishing to seize the Commander Flag in the Dragon City Battle.

Each of the Eight Great Clans also invited powerful Guest Officials for assistance.

According to the rules within the Dragon City Battle, each Family could only invite one Guest Official for support, so the invited Guest Officials were naturally individuals of extremely formidable strength.

During these days of Lin Bai’s seclusion, Tang Yuezhi visited him several times, but Lin Bai, claiming to focus on cultivation, did not meet her. He merely instructed Tang Yuezhi to call him when the Dragon City Battle commenced!

At dawn that day.

The martial artists of Black Water City were in an uproar, countless of them leaving the city, heading towards the nearby Dragon City Mountain Range.

Because today was the day the Dragon City Battle would begin!

Tang Yuezhi hurried to the entrance of Lin Bai’s small courtyard, speaking with a solemn voice, "Lin Bai, today is the time for the Dragon City Battle, are you still cultivating?"

Within the Secret Chamber, upon hearing Tang Yuezhi’s voice, Lin Bai opened his eyes and said, "Is it time for the Dragon City Battle already? Perfect timing, as I’ve nearly mastered both the Houtu Divine Thunder and the Five Thunders Righteous Method!"

Immediately, Lin Bai rose from the Secret Chamber and opened the door, saying, "Miss Yuezhi, please wait a moment. I’ll tidy up and then go with you!"

Tang Yuezhi nodded slightly, waiting patiently in the courtyard.

After a moment, Lin Bai had finished tidying up and left the Tang Family with Tang Yuezhi, with Lin Ye following behind Lin Bai.

Tang Yuezhi said, "My father instructed me to call you, and our Tang Family’s martial artists are already at the Dragon City Mountain Range preparing!"

Lin Bai nodded, "Alright!"

Immediately, the three of them left Black Water City, heading straight for the Dragon City Mountain Range.

On the way, Lin Bai saw many Black Water City martial artists leaving the City, heading to the Dragon City Mountain Range to observe the battle.

They all wanted to know which Family would become the ruling Family of Black Water City in the future!

Even though it was just dawn, outside the Dragon City Mountain Range, tens of thousands of martial artists from Black Water City had already gathered, waiting for the start of the Dragon City Decisive Battle.

Arriving at the Dragon City Mountain Range, Tang Yuezhi found the Tang Family’s martial artists.

Lin Bai followed Tang Yuezhi and met Tangjing Xiu.

Seeing Lin Bai arrive, Tangjing Xiu clasped his fists and said, "Today, I entrust Lin Bai with our pleas."

Lin Bai smiled, "I will do my utmost. How much time before it begins?"

Tangjing Xiu said, "According to the rules, it should begin at midday."

"Lin Bai, while in Dragon City, you must handle the other seven Great Clans carefully, especially the Qian Family and the Zhao Family. They have many powerful individuals, and their foundation runs very deep. The Guest Officials they’ve invited must be even more formidable!"

"These two Families are the biggest enemies of our Tang Family!"

"As for our Tang Family, among the contemporary generation, we only have just over a hundred capable martial artists, all of whom are at the Death Reversal Realm Great Perfection stage!"

"And among these over a hundred, Yuezhi’s cultivation is the most advanced!"

"Therefore, this time the Tang Family is counting on Yuezhi as the main force!"

Tangjing Xiu spoke calmly.

Lin Bai said, "The Tang Family has sent over a hundred martial artists at the Death Reversal Realm Great Perfection stage to compete; what about the other Families?"

Tangjing Xiu replied, "The Tang Family has declined, so we lack talents compared to the other Families; we are much inferior!"

"The Tang Family has dispatched over a hundred martial artists."

"While the other Families have each sent around three hundred martial artists!"

"The Zhao Family and Qian Family are the most formidable, sending over eight hundred martial artists, all at the Death Reversal Realm Great Perfection stage!"

"Therefore, if you encounter martial artists from the Qian Family and Zhao Family in Dragon City, try your best to avoid direct confrontation!"

Tangjing Xiu advised earnestly.

Only now did Lin Bai understand the dire situation of the Tang Family.

Zhao Family and Qian Family sending over eight hundred martial artists at the Death Reversal Realm shows not only their deep foundation but also the strength of their Clan, full of talents, with a promising future.

Even though they don’t match Zhao and Qian, the other several Families have also dispatched over three hundred strong individuals to participate in the battle.

Looking at the Tang Family, they have only just over a hundred strong individuals, and the most outstanding among them is Tang Yuezhi. Compared to the other seven Great Clans, the Tang Family is indeed too weak!

Tangjing Xiu said with a flashing gaze, "As long as the Tang Family can seize the Commander Flag and become the ruler of Black Water City, within three years, I can make the Tang Family rise again, even surpass Zhao and Qian!"

"But for today’s battle, the Tang Family lacks strength, and this battle requires much reliance on you, Lin Bai."

Lin Bai nodded with a smile, "I understand!"

"Does the Tang Patriarch know what kind of Strong Ones the other Eight Great Clans have invited?"

Tangjing Xiu shook his head, "I’m not sure. I’ve also sent people to investigate, but there’s no information. As the Dragon City Battle hasn’t begun yet, the Eight Great Clans are very secretive about their invited Guest Officials!"

"Only by meeting in Dragon City will you find out!"

"However, we have already reported the Tang Family’s Guest Officials."

"For fairness, the City Lord cannot participate directly in the Dragon City Battle, so each Dragon City Battle, Black Water City invites strong individuals from the Fighting Arena to serve as notaries!"

"And the Eight Great Clans need to report their invited Guest Officials to the Fighting Arena, so currently only the Fighting Arena knows who the Guest Officials invited by the Eight Great Clans are; no one else does."

Tangjing Xiu spoke calmly.

"I see," Lin Bai nodded in realization.

Just as Lin Bai was idly chatting with Tangjing Xiu.

Manager Tai Yi from the Fighting Arena walked over with a smile and said, "Tang Patriarch, the time has arrived, and according to the rules, I will take the Tang Family’s martial artists to the southeast corner!"

Tangjing Xiu nodded, "Thank you for your trouble!"

"Yuezhi, Lin Bai, go!"

Tangjing Xiu looked at Lin Bai with earnest eyes, showing urgency.

Lin Bai smiled slightly and left with Tang Yuezhi.

Tang Yuezhi said to Lin Bai, "The Eight Great Clans will enter the Dragon City Mountain Range from eight directions respectively; and a few days ago, Black Water City entrusted the Fighting Arena to release many powerful Demon Beasts into the Dragon City Mountain Range!"

"Crossing the Dragon City Mountain Range allows you to reach Dragon City and seize the Commander Flag inside Dragon City!"

"By dawn tomorrow, whichever Family holds the Commander Flag will be the next ruler of Black Water City!"

Tang Yuezhi whispered.

Lin Bai nodded in realization, and soon Tai Yi led the Tang Family’s martial artists to the Southeast Corner.

Among the Tang Family’s martial artists, Lin Bai recognized a familiar shadow, none other than Tang Yang!

"What are you staring at!" Tang Yang shouted impatiently at Lin Bai when he saw him looking.

Lin Bai sneered, "I didn’t expect even you to participate?"

Tang Yang coldly replied, "This is a matter concerning the Life and Death of the Tang Family; as a son of the Tang Family, naturally, I must exert myself for the Tang Family. Is that a problem?"

Lin Bai shook his head with a smile, "No problem!"
