As the sun rose, the area around the arena was already surrounded by a crowd. The place where people could walk around freely just now was now so crowded that no one could move around.
This martial arts feast was attended by not only people from various sects, but also several old fellows who had been in seclusion for a long time.
These old guys were all in high spirits, not at all like they were about to die as rumored.
In addition to these old guys, everyone also saw the mysterious owner of Tianji Tower.
This person's arrival attracted the attention of everyone around the ring.
It was because the host of this post was wearing a silver mask when he appeared, and not only him, but all his followers were wearing them as well.
His mysterious behavior caused everyone to start discussing it privately.
It is said that the owner of Tianji Tower has just taken office. According to reliable sources, he is ugly and disabled. Every time he appears, he wears a silver mask. No one has ever seen his true face.
But now, seeing the owner of Tianji Tower walking out with all his limbs intact, they suddenly felt that the rumors were not so true.
The owner of Tianji Tower was the last to arrive. He looked at the packed arena, and a look of impatience flashed across his face under the silver mask.
He turned his head to the side, and the masked man next to him quickly came to the big tree on Ye Xin's left.
The man took out a piece of black silk from his arms, carefully spread it out on the ground, then he put the basket in his hand on the ground and took out a pot of freshly brewed hot tea from it.
This series of actions successfully stunned Ye Xin.
Where the hell did this mysophobia come from? You're treating this as your own backyard! You're drinking tea, why don't you put a plate of snacks on top?
Just as Ye Xin finished complaining, she saw the man take out a plate of exquisite snacks from his basket.
The plate of dim sum was still steaming, dotted with a few small flowers, and the fragrance wafting out went straight into Ye Xin's nose.
Ye Xin:..........
It was so shocking. She actually saw someone in her lifetime who was more pretentious than her.
After the man did all this, the owner of Tianji Tower just happened to walk over.
The man glanced casually and met the eyes of several girls sitting under the tree next to him.
When he saw Ye Xin's bare face, a flash of surprise flashed across his simple and calm eyes.
Then he passed by, and with a graceful movement he sat down on the silk.
Everyone:........
The owner of Tianji Tower is really different from ordinary people.
Not long after the owner of Tianji Tower arrived, Ouyang Wenshan also came on stage.
He walked to the center of the arena and bowed to the people gathered around him. "Everyone, sorry for the wait. We should get started without further delay. The martial arts tournament will begin now."
As soon as he finished speaking, a white-haired old man sitting in the corner of the arena struck the gong.
“Dang~”
This old man was one of the elders that everyone had been discussing earlier. He was now in his seventies and was the Grand Elder of the Kongtong Sect.
According to reliable sources, this old man was the one who killed the previous leader of the alliance and is the only remaining witness of that massacre.
This elder had not come out for a long time. When everyone thought that the old man was dead, he suddenly came to Lanyue Castle.
No one knew what the Supreme Elder was going to do. All they knew was that he had been staying in seclusion in the courtyard since arriving at Lanyue Castle, and had only shown up at today's meeting.
The martial arts conference and the spirit world competition are similar. First, the order is determined by drawing lots, and then the top two are selected on the stage.
The top two winners will compete on the wooden tower, and the winner will become the next leader of the martial arts world.
According to the usual practice in the martial arts world, the final winner will have a duel with the leader of the martial arts world to prove that he is qualified to be the leader of the martial arts world.
But this year, Alliance Leader Ouyang cancelled this step and directly ordered the first and second place winners to compete for the title of leader of the martial arts world.
Many people present were puzzled by this. If the new leader of the martial arts world had never fought with the previous leader, how could they know whether he could manage the world well?
In response to these questions, Ouyang Wenshan did not explain too much. He simply pulled up his sleeves and showed everyone his wrists wrapped in white cloth.
When everyone saw a little blood seeping out of the white cloth, they put their doubts aside and honestly went forward to draw lots according to the order.
After everyone surrounding the ring had finished drawing lots, it was Ye Xin and his group's turn.
Ye Xin stood up, straightened her clothes, and went forward with Bao Nian and several other girls from the Tomb Sect to draw bamboo sticks.
Ye Xin drew the blue three, while Bao Nian and her fellow sisters also drew blue bamboo pieces.
Seeing that everyone was on the blue side, Bao Nian breathed a sigh of relief.
That’s great. Now I don’t have to worry about becoming rivals with my junior sisters.
Although she also wanted to compete with Miss Ye, the current situation was not the time to ask for advice.
Once martial artists start fighting, it's a fight to the death, and they won't care about your relationship with them.
It is said that swords have no eyes, but Bao Nian will take it seriously as long as he is on the ring.
Miss Ye has not agreed to return to Emei yet. What if she encounters someone and scares him away?
If she really scared someone, what would she do? Would Miss Ye think she was cruel and refuse to go back to Emei with her?
Fortunately, God was kind to her and she and her fellow apprentice sisters did not have to face Miss Ye.
As for reaching the finals, Bao Nian never had any hope.
She was not trying to belittle her own morale. The truth was that although Emei looked very powerful, among this generation of disciples, only she and Junior Sister Ji were confident that they could break into the top 100. It was very difficult for other junior sisters to win a game.
After they finished drawing lots, the owner of Tianji Tower was the only one left on the scene.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Yu Zexiu put down his teacup and stood up calmly.
He tiptoed and in two breaths he came down from the tree and landed in the middle of the ring.
He stretched out his bony right hand and fished out a red bamboo piece from the wooden box. He opened his right hand and showed everyone the number on it: "Red Five."
When he heard that he was Hong Wu, Bao Nian's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
Red Five, how did he draw Red Five?
When Bao Nian thought of the rumors about Tianji Tower, she secretly hated herself for being so unlucky because Lan Wu happened to be her.
It is said that everyone in Tianji Tower is good at lightness skills and hidden weapons, but her own lightness skills are very poor. She will not be so unlucky to lose in the first round when facing the owner of Tianji Tower who is also good at lightness skills!
Ye Xin noticed that Bao Nian was in a bad mood and looked at her with concern, "Miss Bao, are you feeling unwell?"
Bao Nian came back to his senses and quickly hid his emotions. "No, I just happened to remember something."
"Okay, the competition is about to start, so let's not gather around the arena." Ye Xin seemed unconvinced, turned around and strode towards the tree.
When she passed by Yu Zexiu, a flash of understanding flashed across her mind when she saw the red piece of wood in his hand.
Bao Nian's luck is not very good! It is really difficult to face him.
It seems that the owner of Tianji Tower is not only good at Qinggong, but also seems to have hidden strength!
