C260 The New City Lord of Bright Sun City!(1)

"Let Lau Qinghan become the leader of Bright Sun City!"

When Woo Zhengyang said this, many people gasped in surprise. Despite the Lau family being surrounded by the skilled fighters of the Yuwen and Lee families, Woo Zhengyang showed no signs of backing down and even dared to make such a bold statement.

Yuwen Qianyuan initially thought Woo Zhengyang had come to his senses and was ready to ease the tension. If that were the case, Yuwen could have taken the opportunity to de-escalate the situation. However, Woo Zhengyang's actions were perplexing. Although it was the perfect time to take over the Lau mansion, risking the Yuwen family’s involvement might not be worth it. It would be better to wait for the outcome of Woo Zhengyang and Moh Lunhui's situation before making any decisions.

Yuwen Qianyuan's attempt at a friendly inquiry was met with blatant provocation, igniting his anger. Compared to Lee Minglang's recent actions, Woo Zhengyang's words directly set the two sides against each other.

"The contest for the leadership position still has some time, doesn't it? Isn't it a bit early to be discussing this?" Yuwen Qianyuan said, dropping any pretense of friendliness.

"As far as I know, any family with the right to compete for leadership has one chance to challenge the current ruling family," Woo Zhengyang replied.

Yuwen Qianyuan's expression changed, and he responded coldly, "That rule does exist, but do you understand what it means to use that opportunity?"

"Disqualified from the leadership for ten years!"

According to the rules of the leadership contest in the country, any family head with the right to compete can challenge the current ruling family at any time. If they win, they immediately become the new ruling family. However, if they lose, they can't participate in the contest for the next ten years.

Woo Zhengyang had many things to accomplish. His return was to resolve all matters in Bright Sun City, leaving him no choice but to fight with everything he had.

"Leader, it seems your family shouldn't hesitate any longer. As for my Lee family, we're ready to step back from this dispute..." Lee Minglang declared with a cheerful smile, adding insult to Yuwen Qianyuan's injury.

"Fine... fine..." Yuwen Qianyuan laughed in anger.

The situation had developed far beyond Yuwen Qianyuan's expectations. Wasn't he supposed to be annexing the Lau family? How did the tables turn?

If the Lau family had done this before, he would have been eager for it. But now, with Woo Zhengyang's strong rise, he felt a hint of crisis. Moreover, under the rules, he couldn't escape and had to face the challenge!

"So, when do you plan to challenge my family?"

"No time like the present, let's do it now!"

The crowd was in an uproar; this was too spontaneous!

"Who dares to challenge?" Yuwen Qianyuan sneered.

This question was crucial. If Uncle Fu stepped forward, Yuwen Qianyuan might as well step down immediately.

Everyone had a vague understanding of why Uncle Fu hadn't shown up yet; they were waiting for this very moment! But to everyone's surprise, Uncle Fu still didn't appear. Woo Zhengyang stepped forward and said, "Naturally, it's me!"

Was Woo Zhengyang the one stepping up to fight? The crowd thought they must have misheard. Although he was now at the Martial Master Stage, he was only at the beginner level. Yuwen Qianyuan, on the other hand, had been an Advanced Martial Master for years. Even without considering their skills, the difference in their combat experience was significant.

"Zhengyang..." Lau Qinghan grabbed Woo Zhengyang's arm, looking a bit worried. From the start, he had let Woo Zhengyang make the decisions because he had great confidence in him. But Woo Zhengyang challenging Yuwen Qianyuan made him anxious. As a fellow practitioner of the same era, he knew how formidable Yuwen Qianyuan was. Even the older generation of Martial Masters couldn't match him now.

"Uncle, don't blame me for acting on my own, and don't worry, I'll be fine!"

"Just be careful. I really don't care much about being the city lord," Lau Qinghan advised. He wasn't ambitious about leading the Lau family, let alone becoming the lord of Bright Sun City. Most importantly, he didn't want Woo Zhengyang to take risks for him.

However, for Woo Zhengyang, if he was going to solve the problem, he wanted to resolve it completely. As for the danger, Yuwen Qianyuan didn't pose much of a threat to him. Even if the Yuwen family were to retaliate with all their might, Woo Zhengyang was unafraid, for he had a secret identity as an Array Master that even Lau Qinghan didn't know about!

In his early days as a Martial Disciple, Woo Zhengyang could already take down the heads of twenty-five families. Now, having advanced to the Martial Master Stage in both body and energy, he was facing nothing more than a small family from Bright Sun City.

“Cousin, you scared me, but I believe you’ll follow through!” Lau Ruyan cheered him on, her small fists clenched in support.

“Don’t worry, this will be over soon!” Zhengyang assured her, stepping into the open space cleared by the crowd.

“Alright... alright... let’s see if you’re as arrogant as Moh Lunhui!” Yuwen Qianyuan had no choice but to step forward, his back against the wall.

Zhengyang had avoided entering the Lau mansion, partly due to personal reservations, but mainly to wait for the Yuwen and Lee families to make their move, so he could resolve everything at once.

Now that the moment had arrived, he wasted no time. With a swift execution of the Dragon Countering Nine Steps, he charged toward Yuwen Qianyuan.
