Chapter 613: Going to the Appointment!
Snow Country docks, those normally disembarking couldn't get on the ship at all, all were detained on the spot.
These guys watched as the SS Diamond turned into a black dot, disappearing where the sky met the water, feeling very frustrated.
What most irritated everyone was the hundreds of Guard Armies around them, pointing guns at them.
"Damn it, I came here to travel, not as a prisoner, what the hell do you mean by pointing guns at us?" someone in the crowd angrily protested.
The crowd angrily expressed their dissatisfaction, but the armed guards were indifferent to the protests.
"Dammit, I need to ask my family for help. Everyone, take action, put pressure on the higher-ups of Snow Country, damn these bastards!" someone shouted loudly.
Without another word, he quickly picked up the phone to contact his family's power.
Seeing this, others reacted and also rushed to contact their own powerful backers.
The troublemakers from Dragon Gate had fled, and all the truly powerful people were intercepted; the consequences were predictable!
Soon after, Kuno Yukki received a call from the upper echelons of the Secular World.
"Master Kuno, conglomerates and political figures from around the world, especially from the Ais Duchy, are condemning us.
They say we are unreasonably detaining their family heirs and elite members, demanding we release them immediately and provide an explanation. What should we do!" the person on the other end of the line, sweating profusely, asked for instructions.
Upon hearing this, Kuno Yukki's eyes widened, and his cheeks puffed up!
"Damn!" Kuno Yukki took a deep breath, his head somewhat swollen.
After taking a deep breath, he continued, "This is our territory in Snow Country, tell them we have been hit by a terrorist attack!
All individuals entering the country must undergo strict scrutiny; we hope they will cooperate. Stand firm against their condemnation, do you understand?"
"Yes, sir!" The person on the other end wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly took the order.
Soon, in Snow Country itself, the news spread quickly among the Martial Arts World and the secular public that two ninja clans were attacked by mercenaries, and the Martial Alliance was challenged, with the head of the Martial Alliance, Sima Tianhao, and Ling Beiming agreeing to duel at the Summit of the Snow Country Iron Tower.
Immediately, crowds surged from all over Snow Country, flocking to the iconic building, the Snow Country Iron Tower!
Quite a while before noon, there was already a huge crowd bustling about near the Snow Country Iron Tower.
"Please, who is this Ling Beiming, to be so arrogant as to come to our Snow Country to cause trouble, even making Lord Sima decide to fight him at the Peak of the Iron Tower!" some of the clueless people from the Secular World in the crowd started to ask.
Those from the Secular World had no idea about the affairs of the Underworld; although some asked, no one answered, all looking at each other in confusion.
"It doesn't matter who this guy is, what's important is that he will surely die by Lord Sima's sword!" someone confidently declared right away.
After a moment of silence, no one asked why this person was so confident.
They also nodded in agreement, "Right, this guy today will definitely become a lost soul under the sword of our Lord Sima!"
It was not that the crowd was overly confident; it was a matter of racial stance. No one wanted Ling Fan to step on Snow Country and proudly leave!
However, on the other side, the expressions of the crowd were solemn; they were from the Martial Arts World and had some understanding of the reputation of Ling Beiming.
"This battle, what do you think?" one person asked calmly.
The crowd looked in the direction of the noise, and they saw an elite member of the Heavenly Path School.
"It's hard to say, if he really is Ling Beiming, then I'm not very optimistic about this battle!" a high-level practitioner from the Aikido School said solemnly.
"If even the Sima Alliance Leader isn't his match, then I fear no one in Snow Country can stop him!" a disciple of the Kyokushin School said pessimistically.
"The Sima Alliance Leader is not a reckless man; since he dares to initiate this challenge, he must be somewhat confident!" the earlier Heavenly Path School practitioner pondered.
The disciple of the Heavenly Path School nearby slightly shook his head, "It's not that I want to discourage others, but I too hope to kill this Ling Beiming!
Objectively speaking, Sima being in this position represents our entire Snow Country Martial Arts World. At this point, he had to stand up!"
Hearing this, everyone around fell silent.
They needed to be more objective and rational. Ling Beiming's reputation was indeed too formidable; ordinary people hearing his name couldn't muster the fighting spirit.
In the crowd, a slender figure blended in, face half-hidden by dark sunglasses and a sun hat, making it difficult to discern her true features.
This person was Tang Anqi, who had fled back to Snow Country and remained hidden for a long time. Today, she had received news from Kuno Ichiro.
The Head of the Martial Alliance, Sima Tianhao, was to fight a battle to the death with Ling Fan here today, a scene she couldn't afford to miss, wanting to witness the downfall of her father's killer with her own eyes.
"Whoosh~"
Under the gaze of thousands, a figure, swift as a startled swan, leapt onto the Snow Country Iron Tower, reaching the summit moments later.
"Sima has arrived!" someone in the Martial Arts World said softly, spotting the figure at the peak.
Everyone was visibly energized, all hoping from various perspectives that Sima Tianhao would win this decisive battle!
"My God, is that the Sima Alliance Leader? He's just amazing!" the crowd from the Secular World immediately became excited.
These people had never witnessed such an extraordinary scene. Typically, even getting a glimpse of Sima Tianhao was wishful thinking, but today they truly understood!
"A hundred-meter tower, and he leapt right up, truly a divine being!" another person exclaimed excitedly.
"Hahaha, that Ling Beiming is nothing; just look at this tower, I doubt he could even climb it!" another person joked scornfully.
"Sima Alliance Leader, with divine might, exterminate the Huaxia traitor, and elevate our nation's prestige!" someone immediately shouted excitedly.
These words were truly exhilarating, instantly causing the surrounding crowd to cheer and shout along!
For a moment, the crowd surged, and emotions ran high!
Sima Tianhao stood with his hands behind his back at the summit of the Iron Tower, looking at the excited crowd below and listening to the thunderous sound waves, feeling exhilarated.
He had studied carefully; regardless of whether this Ling Beiming was real or fake, his cultivation was absolutely below the Wuxuan Realm.
Therefore, he was fully confident of winning this victory.
A breeze blew, fluttering his robes, as he looked at the surging crowd, feeling spirited and high-spirited!
"Lord Sima, long time no see, I hope you are well!" Just then, a faint voice accompanied the rustling wind and entered his ears.
Sima Tianhao was suddenly startled, his thoughts surged back, his gaze focused, and killing intent radiating from him, he looked towards the faint dark figure below the tower — Ling Beiming had arrived!
