For three consecutive days, the White Sheep City has been hosting competitions, ultimately determining the top ten contenders. Surprisingly, Ji Wuchang ranked tenth! Zhou Guangrong gathered all ten individuals together. Upon seeing Ji Wuchang, Li Chongshan immediately frowned.

"City Lord Zhou, I can understand that you want to recommend your own people," Li Chongshan said. "Although the Tianxing Dynasty has no specific requirements for the cultivation level of participants, generally, those who sign up are at the Six Spirit Realm. This person is only at the Eighth Level of the Soul Division Realm, which is really too low. Don't you think we should reconsider this? Jiang Yuan seems quite suitable, how about letting him replace him?"

Although Li Chongshan's words were in a consultative tone, it was clear that he had already made the decision on behalf of Zhou Guangrong. The Jiang Yuan he mentioned was the ninth place in this competition, but due to the presence of Jia Yi and Ji Wuchang, he was directly eliminated.

Upon hearing Li Chongshan's words, Zhou Guangrong cursed in his heart but couldn't help but smile on his face. "Lord Li, Zhou Wudi's combat power is not weak. If it weren't for the fact that my Zhou family doesn't want to monopolize these spots, with Wudi's strength, entering the top five wouldn't be difficult! Do you think I, Zhou Guangrong, am the kind of person who would abuse power for personal gain? Moreover, we are about to participate in the Hundred Cities War, which is extremely bloody. I wouldn't let my family members go to their deaths!"

Zhou Guangrong spoke with a smile, his words full of defense for Ji Wuchang, which made Li Chongshan's face darken. "City Lord Zhou, I am here under the queen's orders to supervise the selection of the ten cities. I have the right to raise questions! If you insist on your choice, I can only say that I will also insist on mine. Since we disagree, let them compete, which will also silence the public!"

Li Chongshan directly invoked the queen, causing Zhou Guangrong's mouth to twitch slightly. Zhou Guangrong was not afraid of Li Chongshan; if it weren't for the fact that he was the queen's lapdog, he wouldn't even bother with him. Seeing that Li Chongshan had gone this far, he couldn't refuse and said, "Since Lord Li insists, let's do as you say! But what if Zhou Wudi wins, what will you say then?"

Li Chongshan frowned slightly, then waved his hand, and a pill appeared in his palm. "City Lord Zhou, if I am indeed overthinking, this pill will be my apology to you, how about that?"

Zhou Guangrong glanced at Li Chongshan and nodded calmly, then waved his hand to summon Jiang Yuan. Ji Wuchang watched all this calmly, as if it had nothing to do with him. His gaze fell on Li Chongshan, sensing the aura of a Dao-Severing Realm expert on him.

Jia Yi glanced at Li Chongshan with a detached expression. She was the most knowledgeable about Ji Wuchang's combat power among all present. She clearly knew that Li Chongshan's face would be thoroughly slapped! But Li Chongshan didn't think so at the moment; he was angry with Zhou Guangrong for not offering an equivalent bet, which clearly showed disdain for him and lowered his favorability towards Zhou Guangrong. As for Ji Wuchang, he merely glanced at him with indifference.

The others in the hall also looked at Ji Wuchang, their eyes filled with mockery. After all, the eight people selected in the hall had cultivation levels ranging from the lowest at the Fifth Level of the Six Spirit Realm to the highest at the Ninth Level of the Six Spirit Realm. Jia Yi's Eighth Level of the Six Spirit Realm could only rank third. Naturally, they looked down on a Soul Division Realm individual joining their ranks.

Soon, footsteps were heard, and behind the city lord's guards followed a man who looked about thirty years old. This man was Jiang Yuan, the one Li Chongshan strongly supported! Jiang Yuan scanned the hall and immediately locked eyes with Ji Wuchang, a hint of joy in his eyes. He naturally knew why he was here, as he had already inquired about it from the city lord's guard on the way.

"Jiang Yuan pays his respects to the two lords!" Jiang Yuan clasped his fists and bowed to Li Chongshan and Zhou Guangrong! This was his cleverness, directly addressing both as lords to avoid any precedence.

Zhou Guangrong remained expressionless, but Li Chongshan nodded slightly and calmly said, "Jiang Yuan, you should know why you're here. I won't waste words. You and Zhou Wudi will fight, and the winner will represent White Sheep City in the upcoming Hundred Cities War!"

Li Chongshan was calm, full of confidence in Jiang Yuan, after all, Jiang Yuan was not weak, being at the Fifth Level of the Six Spirit Realm. If it weren't for a slight lag in combat power, he wouldn't have lost to the eighth place.

"Yes, my lord!" Jiang Yuan quickly responded, a hint of joy on his face. After speaking, he turned to look at Ji Wuchang, his eyes filled with intense fighting spirit!

"You two go to the courtyard outside to fight. This hall is too small, you might not be able to move freely!" Li Chongshan spoke again, glancing at Zhou Guangrong, who remained calm, and sneered inwardly. He wanted to see how long Zhou Guangrong could keep up this act.

"No need for such trouble, this place is spacious enough!" At this moment, Ji Wuchang slowly stepped forward, his body turning into afterimages as he rushed towards Jiang Yuan.
