More and more people gathered in the seats below the arena, and quite a few spectators gradually crowded over as well.
Hearing that the Qi Family and the Jiang Family had changed the stakes of their match, everyone eagerly awaited the outcome between the two families.
It could be said that both families had wagered everything they had in Nanli City!
On the arena stage, the remaining members of the Jiang Family and Qi Family had all withdrawn, leaving only Luo Ruying and Chen Rou standing there.
A barrier rose around the circular arena, enveloping the entire stage.
Battles between cultivators were exceedingly dangerous. Especially when cultivators of greater strength fought, their attacks often shook heaven and earth, and collateral damage was unavoidable.
Matches and sparring within the city required even greater caution.
Ning Yechen sat in the seats with Luo Hongye in his arms, quietly observing. Qi Yuan sat beside him as well.
At that moment, Qi Yuan watched Luo Ruying on the stage with worry and tension written across her face, her hands tightly clasped together.
Luo Hongye, sitting in Ning Yechen's arms, lifted her little head to look at him, her tiny face also filled with concern.
"Daddy, is Mommy going to fight bad people again?"
"Mhm, but don't worry, Yeye."
"Your mommy is very strong."
Ning Yechen smiled and rubbed Luo Hongye's head reassuringly.
He knew his wife's strength very well.
She had nearly slain even a peak Heavenly God Realm expert with a single sword strike, let alone this mere peak Human-Celestial Realm cultivator.
Even if something truly went wrong, no one would notice if he intervened in secret.
He would never allow Luo Ruying to suffer even the slightest injury.
Qi Yuan, seated beside Ning Yechen, could not help revealing a trace of guilt.
