The Dragon Vanguard army prohibited plotting and backstabbing, but they did not prohibit people from seeking revenge in a fair and square manner.
In fact, this was a world with weak laws. Seeking revenge was a universally accepted principle, and advocated as a custom of the martial way.
Even the constables and judges of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom would not interfere.
Besides, this vendetta was initiated by Lian Chengyu himself. As a warrior who had initiated the life and death battle, he had to be responsible for his own life!
So Zhang Tan just looked on and did not interfere.
It was pointless no matter how much the members of warrior preparation camp wished for Zhang Tan to end the contest.
But if the situation had been the reverse, where Lian Chengyu brutally beat up Yi Yun, Zhang Tan would have interfered. In the end, this was the difference in the value of a person.
