Zhou Haoyang and the Bloody Monk were locked in combat, surrounded by onlookers who had no intention of stepping in to help.
In truth, Helian Tiehua desperately wanted to stop this fight, but he was helpless to intervene. If he were to act now, the Wolf Monk, watching from the sidelines with a predatory gaze, would undoubtedly step in to block him. In such a case, not only would he fail to stop the duel between Zhou Haoyang and the Bloody Monk, but he would also be forced into a confrontation with the Wolf Monk—which would truly be difficult to manage.
Thus, even though Helian Tiehua was reluctant to let these two continue their battle, he had no choice but to stand by and watch. He knew that if a winner wasn't determined in this fight, the Bloody Monk would absolutely not rest. That was simply the Bloody Monk's nature. Alas, Zhou Haoyang had unwisely chosen to provoke the Bloody Monk.
