The incident at the 320th Grand Competition

Chapter 320

The weapon refining competition was going on fiercely, but unexpectedly, something unexpected happened at the end. The Wu family, one of the three great families in Rongcheng, actually wanted to bring in foreign aid to participate in the competition.

The foreign aid was none other than the disciples of Shengyuan Sect.

This was originally a weapon refining competition among the five cities of Ximing. Why did the disciples of Shengyuan Sect come here, and they had to represent the Wu family in the competition.

This was also because the performance of the Wu family's weapon refiners was far below expectations. Seeing that the fourth-grade weapon refiners of the Wu family were also inferior to the gold-scale, the Wu family was anxious and asked to let the disciples of Shengyuan Sect represent the Wu family in the competition, which caused endless debate among the organizers of the competition.

When this matter spread, the spectators watching the competition also talked a lot.

Although it is called the Five Cities Competition, the competition does not exclude the participation of foreign weapon makers, but they participate as individuals, not as one of the Five Cities.

Often, weapon makers like these who achieve good results in the competition will become the targets of the Five Cities' competition.

Even if they do not choose to join the Five Cities' forces, such weapon makers will become famous, so the Five Cities Weapon Competition will attract many weapon makers.

The Wu family insisted that the rules of the competition did not explicitly prohibit foreign players from participating, and they were just taking advantage of the loopholes in the rules of the competition to make a fuss.

All the forces had noticed this loophole before, but they didn't close it because it proved that they were not strong enough and had to bring in foreign aid. Who could afford to lose face? But now the Wu family is shameless.

The weapon refiner elder of Shengyuan Sect was also very tough and made it clear that he wanted to cooperate with the Wu family, which was also the reason why the organizers of the Five Cities Tournament took it into consideration.

The organizers of the tournament took into consideration the status of Shengyuan Sect, but the audience ridiculed the Wu family, especially the weapon refiners in the city, who despised the Wu family even more.

"I thought the Wu family was so powerful. They used to act like the number one weapon-making family in Rongcheng, and their servants were all so arrogant. It turns out they are just a paper tiger. They even dragged Shengyuan Sect into it."

"That's right. This is clearly our Ximing Dynasty's business. How can they drag Shengyuan Sect into it? Is their Wu family still a family of Ximing? If not, they'd better get out of Rongcheng as soon as possible."

This is what the general public is most disgusted with. They are happy that the competition attracts weapon-making masters from all major forces to participate or watch, but they are not happy that the local weapon-making competition is interfered with by foreign forces.

Nowadays, the standard of the weapon refining competition is getting higher and higher, which is a source of pride for the Ximing cultivators and weapon refiners. At this moment, the behavior of the Wu family is no different from betraying the interests of the Ximing weapon refiners.

However, the most unexpected thing is that the fifth princess and the fifth prince consort sent by the Ximing royal family actually acted as peacemakers between the organizers of the competition and the Shengyuan Sect.

The couple actually agreed to let the disciples of the Shengyuan Sect as external aid. In their words, the Wu family can pull in external aid, and other forces can also pull in aid, and each speaks based on their ability.

The chief hall of the weapon hall was furious, and did not cover up for the couple at all, and spread their actions.

When the news spread, the weapon refiners of Ximing were extremely angry.

Fengming and others were also shocked.

Although this had been anticipated, and he had guessed that he might not be able to stop it in the end, the only thing he had not expected was that the Fifth Princess and her husband would come forward to mediate, and stand on the side of the Shengyuan Sect.

Feng Ming was shocked and said, "Are these two crazy?"

These two appeared at the competition, representing the identity of the Ximing royal family. How could they turn against the Shengyuan Sect? In the eyes of others, this meant that the status of the Ximing royal family was lower than that of the Shengyuan Sect.

Bai Qiaomo said calmly, "It's all about profit."

Before the others could react, Feng Ming jumped first, "Could it be because of the sixth-grade alchemist? Did this Zhan reach some kind of agreement with the Shengyuan Sect?"

Qiu Yi and Ji Yuan understood now, and they were so shocked that they didn't know what to say. Did the Ximing royal family expect this result when they sent these two people? If

the news spread in Feihong Continent, it would really make the Ximing royal family and the royal family very embarrassed.

That's why the cultivators of Ximing were so angry, and their anger was directed at the fifth princess and her husband.

At this time, a contact bead on Feng Ming's body also moved. It was Liu Danxu who sent the message, and his message confirmed the guess of Bai Qiaomo and Feng Ming.

Feng Ming read the message and said, "This is true. Liuyang Pavilion discovered that Zhan Sheng had private contact with Shengyuan Sect before. At that time, Young Master Liu had some doubts. Today, he got accurate information from Shengyuan Sect. The sixth-grade alchemy master of Shengyuan Sect promised to refine a furnace of sixth-grade pills for Zhan Sheng."

Bai Qiaomo thought for a while and said, "Ask Young Master Liu what important things are there in Rongcheng that Shengyuan Sect is also eyeing." Feng Ming

nodded quickly and sent a message to Liu Danxu. They had doubts before because of the situation in Rongcheng, but later they put it aside because they were busy with their own affairs. Now the commotion reminded them again.

Seeing that Liu Danxu had even received the news from Shengyuan Sect, the things in Rongcheng must not be hidden from Liuyang Pavilion.

Sure enough, not long after, Liu Danxu's reply arrived.

Liu Danxu: In the deepest part of the underground fire vein of Rongcheng, a fire spirit was bred, guarded by the three families of Rongcheng. The three families entered there based on their ranking in the competition to see who could subdue the fire spirit. Now the competition has been expanded to five cities, because the three families of Rongcheng have not been successful. Under pressure, they had to let outside forces join in, but the three major families of Rongcheng still have priority.

Liu Danxu: The Wu family cooperated with Shengyuan Sect, and the Feng family cooperated with Jinglan City. Previously, the situation of the Jin family's ancestor Jin was not good, and several forces had the intention of working together to squeeze the Jin family out of Rongcheng. Now the situation is that the Wu family is in danger.

Feng Ming was surprised to see the news. No wonder it was related to a fire spirit.

He used his soul power to convey the news to Bai Qiaomo, Qiu Yijiyuan and others. They all had the same look on their faces. No wonder Shengyuan Sect had to intervene. It seemed that Shengyuan Sect also got the news.

However, the news of the fire spirit had only just reached Shengyuan Sect, which showed the effort these parties put into keeping it secret. But now the situation has been broken. I believe that the existence of this fire spirit will be known to more and more forces.

The secret can no longer be hidden.

The five city families met to discuss the matter. The Wu family was not among the invited guests because it was the Wu family that caused the incident.

The ancestors of these families attended the gathering, and the one who came from the Jin family was the ancestor Jin.

Patriarch Jin's opinion was similar to the previous one. Just like before, he was the one who advocated the joining of the other four cities.

"The fire spirit has been hidden in the deepest part of the fire vein for many years, and no weapon refiner has been able to lure it out, let alone subdue it. So I am very surprised that Shengyuan Sect has only intervened in this matter now."

Patriarch Feng smiled bitterly: "Brother Jin has thought clearly, but everyone is a little unwilling to give up."

In fact, the fire flower was originally discovered by the Jin, Wu, and Feng families. Then the three families agreed to keep the secret and select the best weapon refiners to enter the fire vein to see who has the ability to subdue it.

But year after year, the best weapon refiners have been replaced countless times, but the fire spirit is not willing to approach anyone. The

powerful families such as Yushi City have joined for many years, and they have also had family members enter the earth fire vein.

At first, they were very excited, but in the end, the result was the same as the three major families in Rongcheng. The fire spirit ignored everyone.

As the Fire Spirit grew stronger and stronger, everyone knew that the chance of taming it was actually getting smaller and smaller.

However, as Patriarch Feng said, everyone had guarded it for such a long time, and they were somewhat unwilling to give it up for nothing.

"Brother Jin, what do you think? The Wu family is really not behaving like a human being this time, and the royal family sent the Fifth Princess and her husband."

Even if the Fire Spirit did not fall into the hands of their Five Cities family, they were even more unwilling to see Shengyuan Sect capture it. The behavior of Zhan Sheng and his wife made them extremely disgusted. They were willing to sell out the interests of Rongcheng just for their own selfishness.

Patriarch Jin said, "In my opinion, we should make this matter public. We have tried so hard for so many years but have not been able to achieve our goal. Can Shengyuan Sect do it?

Instead of letting all forces come to spy on the secrets of our Rongcheng, it is better to make it public and welcome all parties to enter the depths of the earth's fire veins. Whoever has the ability can capture it."

"In fact, it is not a good thing that the Fire Spirit was captured. Otherwise, anyone could come to our Rong City and sneak into the underground fire veins. Who knows when there would be a big commotion, and in serious cases, it might destroy the great environment of our Rong City.

Without the Fire Spirit, we can continue to study our weapon refining techniques with peace of mind, and in the future we will continue to make the Five Cities Weapon Refining Competition bigger and stronger, and truly make it a gathering place for weapon refiners from the entire mainland."

Although Patriarch Feng was unwilling, he also knew that what Patriarch Jin said was the truth. This time they were targeted by the Shengyuan Sect, and they would never stop until they achieved their goal. Instead of waiting for the other party to plot something in private and destroy Rong City, it would be better to expose the whole thing.

Their ancestors have lived in Rongcheng for many years. Although they have to endure the fire poison due to the environment of Rongcheng, they are not willing to move away from Rongcheng at all. They have deep feelings for Rongcheng.

Seeing that Patriarch Feng did not object, Patriarch Jin persuaded the other ancestors of the family: "Why not take this opportunity to send all the outstanding children in our clan to see who can be recognized by the fire spirit."

Now the other ancestors are also tempted. After the usual competition, the number of people who can enter the earth fire vein is very limited.

And Patriarch Jin's vision for the Rongcheng competition also makes them excited. This is to make Rongcheng a future holy land for refining weapons.

These ancestors looked at each other. Since they can't stop it, they might as well go with the flow.

"I think it's okay. Why don't we do it according to Brother Jin's idea?"

"Then we will discuss with the chief hall master to see when it is appropriate to make it public."

"I think we can make it public at the end of the competition, when the Wu family and Shengyuan Sect are most proud."

This proposal was immediately recognized by everyone. Compared with being unwilling, they hated to see Shengyuan Sect and the Wu family proud.
