Chapter 2433 Emperor Arena

As if she noticed Lu Ye's gaze on her, the woman looked up, then quickly lowered her head, looking uneasy.

Before coming, Gong Mao specifically told her some things. Although she was reluctant, she was a slave of the Fighting Arena, so she could not refuse any arrangements of the Fighting Arena.

"What's your name?" Lu Ye asked.

The woman quickly said, "Brilliant."

Lu Ye raised his eyebrows slightly: "Thank you!"

He roughly understood who this woman was. She should be the one who arranged the opponent for him before, because after he mentioned this matter last time, Gong Mao transferred her over to send him away, and this time he specially arranged for her to receive him.

However, from beginning to end, Gong Mao never took the initiative to mention anything. He probably just wanted to take this opportunity to try his best to establish a good relationship with himself.

Cui Can was slightly stunned, as if she didn't expect Lu Ye to thank her, but she was not a fool, so she quickly realized why he thanked her. She lowered her head again and whispered, "Your Excellency, this is too serious. This is my duty."

Lu Ye nodded slightly: "I don't need anything here, you go down first, I'll call you if I need anything."

It was obvious that Gong Mao wanted to keep Cuican, but Lu Ye did not have such an intention.

Cui Canying bowed and said, "Then I will take my leave first."

He walked out of the room, closed the door gently, and let out a long breath.

Two days passed in a flash, and Lu Ye had never left the room. Cuican stood quietly outside the door, waiting for instructions at any time.

There was a gentle knock on the door, and then Gong Mao strode in, beaming with joy: "Brother Lu, are you ready?"

"anytime."

Gong Mao looked him up and down, and seeing that he was indeed in good spirits, he said cheerfully, "Then I'll leave today's battle to you, brother."

Lu Ye remained noncommittal. To Gong Mao, this battle might determine his status in the battlefield, but to him, it was a battle of life and death. Of course, he would win.

"To be honest, brother, today's battle will be held in the Emperor's Arena. This is the largest spectator's arena in the Arena, and it has never been open to anyone below the Hedao. With the Arena's three months of operation, I believe today's battle will surely become the focus of attention of the entire Inner Realm." Gong Mao introduced enthusiastically, and then changed the subject: "It's a pity that brother doesn't want to show his true face or reveal his identity, otherwise after this battle, brother will definitely be famous in the Inner Realm!"

His words revealed his confidence in Lu Ye's victory, but Lu Ye knew that he might not be as relaxed as he appeared.

"There's no need to become famous in this world." Lu Ye didn't want to become famous. If he really wanted to become famous, he wouldn't have made those requests to Douzhangchang before. "But there is one thing I want to confirm. Is Douzhangchang sure that my identity can be perfectly hidden?"

Gong Mao vowed: "Don't worry about this, brother. The reputation of the Douzhang battlefield is here. What we agreed in advance will not be diluted in the slightest."

"What special treasure do I need to wear?" Lu Ye asked again.

“Not necessary.” Gong Mao smiled slightly: “Brother, just enter normally. When the time comes, except for the Crescent Moon fighting with you, who can see your true face, other spectators will not be able to see it clearly. This is just a little trick of ours.”

Lu Ye nodded, not doubting Gong Mao's words. If this little thing couldn't be done well, then the Battle Field would have wasted its great reputation.

"There is one more thing I want to discuss with you, brother." Gong Mao suddenly showed a strange smile, as if the next words were difficult to say.

Lu Ye gave him a questioning look.

"It's like this." Gong Mao's expression became serious. "Before the fight begins, the basic information of both sides will be passed on to all the cultivators watching the fight, so that they can make judgments and place bets. The sixth level of the Rong Dao vs. the ninth level is a gimmick, but the difference in cultivation is too big. If the ninth level of the Rong Dao has a treasure, there will be no suspense. So what I want to say is that in the basic information passed on for this battle, the treasure should not be mentioned. I wonder what you think, brother?"

Normally, it would be more beneficial to raise the issue of the fighting battlefield, because in this way, it would ensure that more cultivators would bet on the Queyue. Once Lu Ye wins, the benefits of the fighting battlefield would become enormous.

But the fighting battlefield had such a hidden request, and Lu Ye didn't know what they wanted to do.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Gong Mao said, "The Battle Field has been operating for many years, and has always been committed to showing exciting battles to fellow Taoists. If the apparent disparity in strength is too great, then it would be meaningless."

Lu Ye understood that this was just a superficial statement. In fact, even Gong Mao was not sure whether he could really defeat Queyue, so he made such a suggestion.

Of course he had no problem with that and nodded: "It's up to you to decide on this matter."

"Thank you very much, fellow Taoist." Gong Mao clasped his fists with a smile.

It is true that Douzhangchang has always been honest, but that does not mean they will not use some harmless tricks in appropriate situations, so as to better ensure the interests of Douzhangchang.

After thanking him, Gong Mao suddenly whispered, "To be honest, brother, in the past three months, with the help of the battlefield, Queyue has cultivated the Heaven-Measurement Ruler to about fifty-five."

Lu Ye blinked and understood.

If Gong Mao was just doing his job before, then this reminder was mixed with a lot of selfish motives.

Queyue has reached the ninth level of Rong Dao cultivation, with a strength of nearly one hundred and ninety Daos, supplemented by fifty-five attribute treasures, which makes more than two hundred and fifty Daos, basically comparable to a peak Rong Dao master.

"If you are ready, please follow me." Gong Mao's expression became serious.

Lu Ye nodded.

Gong Mao led the way, and Lu Ye followed closely behind.

A moment later, in front of a whirlpool in a secret room, Lu Ye took a deep breath and stepped in, and the world began to spin.

The Emperor's Arena is an arena that can accommodate 100,000 people to watch the fight at the same time. It is also the largest arena in the entire arena. Only those who have achieved the Dao have been qualified to come here. There has never been a precedent for those who have achieved the Dao.

But this time the battlefield was an exception.

One hundred thousand people is not a large number compared to the entire inner world. It is not that the battle field cannot be built to accommodate more monks to watch the battle, but that there is no need to do so.

The viewing platform of the entire fighting battlefield was packed with people, and at least half of them were powerful Hedao masters. For the battle between Rongdao masters, such a scene was rare to see, because anyone who watched the battle between Rongdao masters from the Hedao level would feel like they were watching a child's play.

But the Hedao people were also quite interested in a fight of such a huge scale, because it was destined to be a feast. After this battle, who knows how many people would become rich overnight, and how many would lose all their wealth.

At the top of the viewing platform, there are luxuriously built rooms. Those who are qualified to enter these rooms to watch the battle are basically the famous and powerful people in Hedao. Ordinary people can only sit below.

At this time, in a side room, two women were sitting by the window, drinking and chatting.

One of them was Yuan Xi who came to Hehejie with Lu Ye. The other woman had a beautiful face and eyes like spring water, but she did not look coquettish, but instead had infinite charm.

The two women didn't know how long they had been drinking. Yuan Xi was slightly tipsy and was giggling as he looked at the beautiful woman.

"Why are you laughing like a fool?" The beautiful woman looked helpless.

Yuan Xi chuckled, "Then lend me some money, and I won't laugh like that." As he spoke, he grabbed the beautiful woman's hand and shook it, "Sister Lian, please have pity on me."

Lian glared at her unhappily: "I have the intention, but I don't have the courage. He has already spoken. Anyone who dares to help you will be making an enemy of him!"

"If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who will know?" Yuan Xi said quietly, as if she was afraid that there were eavesdroppers on the other side of the wall.

Lian shook her head and said, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. I don't want to be held accountable by that guy one day. You know how petty that guy is."

"Humph!" Yuan Xi seemed to be a little drunk, "If he was really magnanimous, I wouldn't have run away!"

"You're really not going back?" Lian tilted her head and looked at her. "Actually, there's nothing wrong with it. We've been through this for so many years. Look, you wanted to leave, but he didn't stop you. Sometimes you shouldn't be too willful."

"It's because I've been living like this for so many years that I want to make a change! I don't want to live as a vassal of others!"

"What a great ambition!" Lian said with an approving expression, "So what are your plans for the future?"

Yuan Xi was full of vigor and he slammed the table: "I want to build a Hedao City of my own. One day, my Hedao City will stand at the top of the inner world and trample all the so-called ten under my feet!"

Lian's eyes gradually moved upwards as she spoke, and when she finished, she quickly advised: "Come down quickly, you are an adult, how can you stand on the table with your hands on your hips like this?"

Yuan Xi jumped off the table and threw herself into Lian's arms. She twisted her body and her heart suddenly surged. She said coquettishly, "Sister Lian, just promise me."

"No!" Lian pushed her away, as if there was no room for negotiation.

Yuan Xi was very angry: "I thought you would not stand idly by after all our friendship for so many years."

Lian shook her head and sighed, then suddenly tilted her head to look out the window, raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't say I didn't show you a clear way. There's an opportunity outside, let's see if you can seize it!"

Yuan Xi followed her gaze and saw the moment when Lu Ye's figure appeared in the starry sky fragments of the battlefield.

She couldn't help but frown. Although Lu Ye's figure was extremely blurry at the moment and her face could not be seen clearly due to the means of the fighting battlefield, she inexplicably developed a sense of familiarity, as if she had seen this Rong Dao who appeared in the fighting battlefield somewhere before.

Lian had already taken out her own battle order and checked the information sent by the battle battlefield. She couldn't help but sneer: "Nameless guest... What on earth is Qin Laogou doing? Is a sixth-level Fusion Dao cultivator worth so much trouble? Even his name has to be hidden."
