"Grandpa Qi, Grandpa Ren's meridians and internal organs are severely damaged. It will be very difficult for him to retain his martial arts cultivation."
After responding to Jiang Wuming, Li Lianyi turned her gaze to Qi Wufu.
Hearing Li Lianyi's words again, the excited expressions on the faces of Jiang Wuming, Qi Wufu, and others instantly froze.
"Lianyi, it is already remarkable that you can save Grandpa Ren's life. Don't worry about anything else."
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Qi Wufu responded.
He knew that the young girl before him had nearly exhausted herself to save Ren Xiaoyao's life.
"Grandpa Qi, although Grandpa Ren's condition is temporarily stable, he still needs to be sent to the hospital for immediate treatment." Li Lianyi added.
"Zhujian, go communicate with the organizing committee of the event. Send Director Ren to the Royal British Hospital and make all arrangements for communication, coordination, and assistance for Lianyi's subsequent treatment."
Qi Wufu turned and gave orders to Zhujian.
The Royal British Hospital was the best hospital in Britain, located in the Tower of London, primarily serving members of the British Royal Family, nobles, and dignitaries.
"Yes, Marshal!"
Zhujian immediately accepted the order. He had lost to Gouding in the previous match, injuring his shoulder. However, the injury was not fatal, and he had only received simple treatment earlier, requiring further care.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhujian looked at Li Lianyi again, "Lianyi, please bring your people and follow me!"
"Okay!"
Li Lianyi nodded, then led Li Xiaoman and other medical team staff to follow Zhujian.
Among them, two medical team staff members carried Ren Xiaoyao onto a stretcher.
Jiang Wuming did not follow.
He believed in Li Lianyi's medical skills.
Since Li Lianyi said she could save Ren Xiaoyao's life, she would surely be able to do it!
Afterward, as Li Lianyi and her group left the area where the Dragon Country delegation was located, the onlookers on site also shifted their gazes to the European region.
Under their watchful eyes, Saint Lun@Luoman, the殿主 (Dianzhu - Hall Master) of the God of War Hall, slowly stood up.
Saint Lun@Luoman was going to make a move himself!
Seeing this, everyone present confirmed their earlier judgment.
"The Four-Star God of War level competition has concluded. Shen Zui from the Underworld Hall has won the championship!"
At the same time, the organizing committee staff had already cleaned up the remains of Taylor's corpse. The referee, Xiweier@Luoman, spoke again:
"Next, we will proceed with the Five-Star God of War level competition. Before this match, Master Dawson had declared that he would not participate in this competition. Therefore, according to the competition rules, we now invite Yun Tianjian of Dragon Country, ranked fourth on the Five-Star God of War list, to take the stage!"
Swish, swish, swish...
As Xiweier@Luoman spoke, members of the European, North American Alliance, and Ren Country delegations immediately turned their attention to Yun Tianjian.
The cameras at the competition venue also focused on Yun Tianjian. His figure appeared clearly in the live broadcast of the Divine Network, even showing every subtle change in his facial expression.
Hearing Xiweier@Luoman's words and sensing the gazes, Yun Tianjian instinctively started to rise.
However—
Just then, Qi Wufu turned his head and gently shook his head at Yun Tianjian, "Tianjian!"
"But..."
Yun Tianjian understood Qi Wufu's intention, but he also knew that if he didn't stand up and take the stage, he would become a disgrace to the Dragon Country martial arts community and lose its dignity.
"I know what you want to say, but I don't want Ren Xiaoyao's tragedy to happen again."
Qi Wufu interrupted Yun Tianjian with a firm tone, "Moreover, we have won two of the first four matches."
Hearing Qi Wufu's words again, Yun Tianjian sighed inwardly and ultimately did not rise.
This was because he understood the implication of Qi Wufu's words – the God of War Hall, led by the Roman family, had only won one match. Even if they won this one, the two sides would only be tied.
In such a situation, it would not be easy for the Roman family or the God of War Hall to weaken the status and influence of the Dragon Country martial arts community within the God of War Hall and force them to submit!
As such, Yun Tianjian had no need to take the stage.
After all, with Saint Lun@Luoman making that move, Yun Tianjian had no chance of winning and would certainly die if he stepped onto the stage!
"Master Yun Tianjian, you have registered and are the participating contestant for the Dragon Country delegation in the Five-Star God of War competition. Are you forfeiting now?"
Xiweier@Luoman, who had clearly heard the conversation between Qi Wufu and Yun Tianjian, deliberately provoked him in a cold tone.
"Yes."
Yun Tianjian responded with a grim expression.
This single word was the most difficult one he had ever spoken in his life!
"Why are you forfeiting? Are you afraid of being defeated by my father? Or, to be more accurate, killed?"
Xiweier@Luoman asked, but his intention was to humiliate.
Yun Tianjian's face turned ashen, and he remained silent.
The cameras accurately captured his expression and displayed it on the live broadcast screen.
It was an expression filled with humiliation and unwillingness!
"Heh... From what I know, China's Kunlun is the top force in the global martial arts world. Yet, the leader of Kunlun and the fourth-ranked Five-Star God of War, Yun Tianjian, is a coward. This is truly unbelievable!"
"Why is it unbelievable? Lord Xiweier has already said it, that Yun Tianjian fears being killed by Lord Saint Lun!"
"The Dragon Country martial arts community is truly disgraceful. They boast loudly when they win, but become turtles hiding in their shells when they can't win!"
"I said long ago that the era of the Dragon Country martial arts community is over! What's the use of Jiang Wuming being strong? A genius who cannot grow is not a genius. Present strength is true strength!"
...
The foreign martial artists, seeing Yun Tianjian's humiliated expression on the live broadcast, became energized and began to mock him through the comments.
The Dragon Country martial artists watching the competition through the Divine Network live broadcast were unaware of Saint Lun@Luoman's move. They were very curious as to why Yun Tianjian was not fighting. Seeing the mockery from the foreign martial artists' comments, they felt extremely stifled!
"Why isn't Master Yun Tianjian taking the stage? Is he really afraid?"
"A grandmaster, the leader of Kunlun, is he really so cowardly?"
Despite their frustration, some extreme and irrational Dragon Country martial artists vented their negative emotions through the comments.
The members of the Dragon Country delegation present at the scene knew the truth and had heard the conversation between Qi Wufu and Yun Tianjian.
While feeling stifled, they also felt sorry for Yun Tianjian.
This was because they knew that if it weren't for considering the overall situation, and if it weren't for dealing with the impending internal war within the God of War Hall and future uncontrollable external wars, Yun Tianjian would definitely have defended his honor and that of the Dragon Country martial arts community, even if it meant shedding blood on the spot!
At the same time, the members of the European, North American Alliance, and Ren Country delegations showed smiles again.
Although they had lost prodigies of the younger generation, what did it matter?
With Saint Lun@Luoman having made his move, the strongest of this era would hold absolute authority. Even if the Dragon Country martial arts community didn't want to submit, they would have to!
"Since Yun Tianjian of Dragon Country, ranked fourth among the Five-Star Gods of War, is too afraid to appear, I now invite my father, the esteemed Hall Master of the God of War Hall, Saint Lun@Luoman, to take the stage!"
Just then, Xiweier@Luoman's voice sounded again.
Swish, swish, swish...
Instantly, all the people present and the martial artists from all over the world focused their gaze on Saint Lun@Luoman.
"I believe I do not need to appear, because the choice of Yun Tianjian of Dragon Country has already provided you with the answer."
Saint Lun@Luoman stood on the main platform, exuding a powerful and terrifying aura, and slowly said, "In this era, no one dares to fight me!"
