When Wu Xiaoying and the others mentioned this rule, Li Aotian understood perfectly well that it was merely an excuse they had fabricated to make things difficult for Ye Chen. However, as the City Lord, he could not simply disregard the rule, which left him in a difficult position.
Standing to one side, Liu Hong watched the smug expressions of Wu Xiaoying and his cohorts, and a surge of anger rose within him. He could not help but speak up: "Wu Xiaoying, don't go too far! While it is true that such a provision exists in the God Ranking challenge rules, since the time of Litian City’s first City Lord, Batian Lei, which first-place challenger has ever actually been forced to accept a challenge from the younger generation of Litian City's noble families? You are clearly targeting Ye Chen and trying to use this opportunity to eliminate him!"
As soon as Liu Hong finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room grew tense. Wu Xiaoying and his group’s expressions darkened; it was clear that Liu Hong had hit the nail on the head. However, they did not act immediately, for as long as City Lord Li Aotian was present, they dared not act rashly.
