Although Fang Wuwo's description of Yang Cheng was rather exaggerated, no one stood up to call him out.
Even some forces that have a grudge against Fang Wuwo know that Yang Cheng is indeed the biggest threat to the entire martial arts world. Therefore, it is very necessary to hold a martial arts conference and elect a martial arts alliance leader.
It is clear that no single family can stop Yang Cheng; everyone needs to work together.
So the key question is, who should be the leader of the martial arts alliance?
So some smaller factions immediately shouted, "Master Fang, after saying so much, who should be the leader of the martial arts alliance? It can't be you, can it?"
Fang Wuwo wasn't angry, but laughed loudly: "I, Old Fang, am good at talking, but if you really ask me to be the leader of the martial arts alliance and lead everyone to resist that villain Yang Cheng, I really don't have much confidence."
In the martial arts world, strength is paramount, so the leader of the martial arts alliance must be chosen in a way that everyone accepts.
Before entering Tianyi Tower, everyone wrote their names on their invitation cards, which are all here.
As he spoke, Fang Wuwo ordered someone to bring up a box made of fine glass, transparent on three sides and blackened on the back, which was filled with invitations to join the fight.
Fang Wuwo stood on the blackened side, placed the transparent side in front of everyone, and casually pulled out two invitations from it.
"Anyone I draw who is interested in competing for the position of martial arts alliance leader can come up on stage for a contest. The winner will advance and the loser will be eliminated."
Of course, if the difference in strength is too great, one can choose to abstain. The strongest person chosen in the end will become the leader of the martial arts alliance!
Fang Wuwo's method was fairly fair; everyone randomly selected their opponents, and the outcome depended on skill and luck.
However, everyone subconsciously turned their gaze toward Xuanyuan Valley God.
The Xuanyuan family of Tianfeng Island, in conjunction with Tianyi Tower, is hosting this martial arts tournament with the intention of becoming the leader of the martial arts alliance. Their ambitions are as clear as day.
However, they couldn't play any tricks in front of so many major sects, otherwise, even if Xuanyuan Valley God became the leader of the martial arts alliance, who would submit to him?
The rules that I have set up are actually a calculated move. If there are no surprises, the position of the martial arts alliance leader will eventually belong to Xuanyuan Valley God.
None of the few people in this world who could rival Xuanyuan Valley God came.
The Taoist and Buddhist sects, including Xuanwei Zhenren of the Xuanzhen Taoist sect and Fakong, the abbot of Shaolin Temple and the Arhat Du'e, would not get involved in such a martial arts tournament, as they would lose their fortune for nothing.
The Song family patriarch, Song Ke, was already old and had been severely injured by Yang Cheng. Even if he wasn't crippled, he was no longer able to fight. Therefore, the Song family only sent Song Chengyuan.
Luo Fei, the leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect, is indeed exceptionally talented, but unfortunately, the entire martial arts world knows that Luo Fei dislikes these so-called martial arts gatherings the most.
He has never been involved in such matters since he took over the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Moreover, the Heavenly Sword Sect suddenly closed its mountain for some unknown reason, and even the other elders did not attend the martial arts conference.
Therefore, by this calculation, almost no one in the entire martial arts world can rival Xuanyuan Valley God, and the title of Martial Arts Alliance Leader is practically his for the taking.
Fang Wuwo and Xuanyuan Valley God had a very clever plan. By stepping forward at this crucial moment to convene the martial arts conference, they could be said to have taken advantage of Yang Cheng's pressure to have the entire Central Plains martial arts world firmly under their control. Their calculations were exceptionally precise.
Yang Cheng shook his head below and said, "The Xuanyuan family is gambling. If the Xuanzhen Taoist sect or the Shaolin Temple were to announce a martial arts conference at this time, how many people would come to Tianyi Tower?"
Song Joong-ki said in a low voice, "Although it was a gamble, they still guessed the style of Xuanzhen Daoist Sect and Shaolin Temple very accurately."
Fang Wuwo is a man who came from a background of traveling and mediating, and he was the one who planned most of these things.
Both Shaolin Temple and Xuanzhen Taoist sect value their reputation, and they would never plagiarize others' work.
Therefore, once the Xuanyuan family gets there first, they will no longer hold any martial arts tournaments.
It's a pity that while the Xuanyuan family and Tianyi Tower were shrewd in their calculations, they overlooked you, Chief.
Yang Cheng gave a half-smile, looked in one direction, and then said, "They've overlooked many things."
Song Zhongji didn't understand what Yang Cheng meant, but Chu Qiu, who was standing next to him, followed Yang Cheng's gaze and looked thoughtful.
Although he lost the secret treasure, his supernatural perception ability remained.
Meanwhile, the two people who had just been drawn by Fang Wuwo had already gone up on stage.
Neither of these two were from any top-tier sect. One was Huang Tao, the head of the Huang family in Jiangnan, and the other was Gao Tianzu, a swordsman from the Northwest and the leader of the Nine Dragons Stronghold.
As soon as Gao Tianzu stepped onto the stage, he laughed loudly and said, "I'm so lucky to be the first to show my skills at this martial arts tournament."
As for the position of martial arts alliance leader, I dare not even dream of it. Consider this just a way to warm things up for everyone, and I hope you will all support me.
Gao Tianzu, dressed like a street performer, laughed and joked, which made the rough and tough martial arts people present cheer, while some martial artists from big sects and families looked at him with disdain.
Both of them are only so-so, so there's not much point in them fighting.
However, because it was the first performance, it really did have the effect of warming up the crowd.
After more than ten moves, Gao Tianzu, who came from the Northwest and had rich combat experience, defeated Huang Tao, who had been living a life of luxury for many years.
Many more people took to the stage after that, and the competitions were all very quick.
It's very simple. Most people are self-aware and know they don't have the ability to be the leader of the martial arts world, so why make a fool of themselves?
