After returning to the resting place, Zhuo Mufeng raised this question to Wu Guanting.
Seeing that there was no one around, Wu Guanting laughed at himself: "Because only Jiedushi can suppress us reckless people. What's more, Jiedushi also has selfish motives."
Speaking of this, he changed the voice transmission: "Mu Feng should know that in the last three Tianxing Rankings, it is suspected that only five people have entered the unity state. And one of them, just at the Fengyun Conference twenty years ago, followed
Come to Mei Shanhui."
Zhuo Mufeng's eyes widened. He hadn't even mentioned this matter in Jianghu, so he couldn't help but said: "My foster father is saying that Mei Shanhui came here with the intention of recruiting talents?"
Wu Guanting: "Don't think that people in the world disdain court officials, but if there is such a good opportunity, not many people are willing to let it go. Among the people present today, I am afraid that many want to please Mei Shanhui, but it is in full view of everyone, and they don't want to lose it.
It’s just to save the face of the Jianghu people.”
Smiling softly, Wu Guanting returned to the tent, leaving Zhuo Mufeng alone to meditate. Soon after, he shook his head and chuckled, and walked back and forth.
On the way, I met Miss Wu. Unfortunately, Miss Wu’s nose was not a nose and her eyes were not eyes. She didn’t even look at Zhuo Shaoxia.
Zhuo Shaoxia originally wanted to say hello, but when he saw this, he had to swallow back what he was going to say. Tomorrow is when the conference starts, so he should concentrate first and be energetic before talking.
When they walked away, the sound of heavy objects falling was heard in Miss Wu's tent.
The next day, there were blue clouds and it was a sunny day.
At about Chen hour, martial arts masters, officers and soldiers, as well as idle senior officials and their families who were watching the battle, all gathered around the stone arena.
It's just that the martial arts masters stood on the east side of the ring, with officers and soldiers surrounding them to maintain order. The spectators sat in the pavilions set up on the northwest side.
The old man in the middle is Mei Shanhui, and the pavilion where he is located is heavily protected. Without permission, not even a fly can fly within three feet.
After a relatively complicated ceremony, Tiekou, a famous figure in the world and ranked seventh in the previous Tianxing Ranking, announced that Zhuge Zhen would appear as the referee and explained the rules of the Fengyun Conference.
The Fengyun Conference is divided into personal battles and sect battles, and the personal battle was held first.
Since the players in the youth group also have the opportunity to be included in the Star Ranking and the Earth Spirit Ranking, the players in the youth group and the ordinary group will not be specially separated, but will be marked in the battle.
Individual battles do not involve cross-fertilization, but a challenge system.
That is to say, warriors who are not listed on the double list can challenge the masters of the double list, and those with lower rankings can challenge those with higher rankings. However, there is only one chance, and once failed, they are not allowed to challenge those with higher rankings, and can only challenge those with higher rankings.
Low latency.
Everyone has a total of two chances to fail the challenge. Once he fails twice, he will lose the qualification to appear. The battle on the Star Ranking will not begin until the new ranking is determined on the Earth Spirit Ranking.
During the fight, concealed weapons and poisons are not allowed. The most interesting thing is that Zhuge Zhen did not put forward any requirements.
Zhuo Mufeng had long known that casualties often occurred in past Fengyun Conferences, and it seemed that there would be no shortage of them this time, which made him secretly vigilant.
After the rules were explained, Mei Shanhui announced the official start of the conference.
For a moment, the official ladies and wives in the pergola sat upright in excitement. The Jianghu people were also crowded, and the atmosphere instantly became high.
Despite this, no one took the lead.
This is also a normal thing. The imperial court has already experienced it. Under the signal of the officials, a warrior who had been bribed flew over to the stone arena on the left.
"Wang Duan, Zhang Yuqi, do you dare to fight?" the middle-aged man shouted to the audience.
While the audience was whispering, another man floated across the sky like a big bird and landed opposite Zhang Yuqi, saying coldly: "Zhang Yuqi is here."
The two of them are not unknown people. One is ranked 99th on the Earth Spirit Ranking, and the other is ranked 97th on the Earth Spirit Ranking. After reporting each other's family status, they immediately stared at each other calmly.
The stalemate lasted for only a moment, and just when their momentum was about to explode, they both took action at the same time.
Zhang Yuqi is good at boxing and kicking, and has extremely strong attack power, while Wang Duan is a master of light kung fu and is better at responding quickly.
The two of them were both fourth-level warriors of the Star Bridge Realm who had opened up the second channel of Ren and Du. They walked back and forth on the 20-foot-long and wide arena, erupting into heavy air waves, and the momentum was extremely scary.
Many of the official wives and ladies were here for the first time. After seeing the so-called martial arts masters, they were stunned and immediately watched the battle more nervously and intently.
There were also constant cheers and cheers below the arena. The officers and soldiers around them also took advantage of their duties to enjoy the rare battle between masters.
After fighting for more than 600 moves, Wang Duan, who was ranked 99th on the Earth Spirit Ranking, cleverly used a flaw and narrowly defeated Zhang Yuqi with one move, sending him flying under the ring.
"Wang Duan wins!" Zhuge Zhen immediately announced the result.
The defeated Zhang Yuqi looked unhappy. As the first challenger, this result made him very embarrassed. He made up his mind to make adjustments and regain his position.
After all, in his opinion, his strength is not weaker than Wang Duan's, the only difference is his luck.
After the first warm-up, everyone relaxed a lot. As soon as the curtain ended here, another person immediately stepped onto the stone ring on the right.
Zhuo Mufeng also knew this person as Tang Bure, the master of the Golden Spear Sect in Gusu City.
As a first-class sect, the Golden Spear Sect is not qualified to participate in the war. But as an individual, Tumblr, who is ranked 92nd on the Earth Spirit Ranking, can naturally participate.
The Fengyun Conference is a place for fame, especially for the leader of a first-class sect like Tumblr. Because often an increase in ranking, even by just one person, is an invisible improvement for the sect behind him.
For the sake of fame and profit, Tumblr couldn't let go of such an opportunity.
The target of his challenge was Xiaoxiang Sword Xiao Dingyu, who was ranked 90th on the Earth Spirit Ranking. He was two places higher than him. It was obvious that Tumblr was very cautious.
…
If the previous battle was a hand-to-hand fight with fists clashing, then this battle was a competition of weapons skills. Tumblr's marksmanship was heavy and fierce, but Xiao Dingyu's swordsmanship was equally dense and fast.
Both of them had reasons why they couldn't lose. After hundreds of moves, they gradually fought to the point of selflessness, and the fight turned from sparring to winning at all costs. The more they fought, the more dangerous they became.
Scenes appeared from time to time, causing the women in the pergola to scream in shock. Broken cloth torn and blood flying, as if anyone who slowed down would be pierced. It was so nervous that many martial arts masters held their breath.
.
After fighting for more than a thousand moves this time, the two of them were all injured. After knocking each other back, they rushed towards each other again.
laugh!
Facing the stabbing shadow of the sword, Tumblr tilted his body slightly, and the long sword pierced his right shoulder. He shrugged his shoulders, and used the flesh and blood of his right shoulder to slow down Xiao Dingyu's castration. Enduring the boundless pain, he hung the spear in his right hand upside down, using the barrel of the spear. Lift it up diagonally, with a powerful force.
Xiao Dingyu didn't expect Tumblr to be so cruel, so he hurriedly abandoned his sword and retreated, but Tumblr had anticipated this and retreated straight away with his spear.
With a loud bang, Xiao Dingyu fell to the ground with blood spurting from his mouth, and it was difficult to get up for a while.
Tumblr's tragic victory over Xiao Dingyu caused a significant change in the mood of many warriors who participated in the meeting for the first time. They suddenly became solemn and solemn from the previous relaxed state.
However, the veterans who have participated in the meeting have a calm look on their faces. Because they have experienced it, and even as the competition progresses, the next one will only become more tragic.
This is the helplessness of people in Jianghu. They know clearly that it is a trap, and they know that it is a conspiracy of the court, but in the end they cannot get around the word fame and fortune. If you don’t fight, others will fight, and you have to fight!
The battles continued one after another, and eventually, the two stone platforms were no longer empty, and exciting duels took turns. However, for most of the spectators in the pergola, it was too bloody.
Of course, it's not always a close match, and there are also times when it's easy to crush them.
At noon, the court officials arranged for the meal to be served, and then rested for an hour before continuing the war, which did not end until the end of Shenshi.
Generally speaking, the quality of the battle on the first day was very high, and the participants were basically top-notch experts, so there was no possibility of adulteration.
On the second and third days, the intensity and excitement of the battle continued to increase. This is because the higher you go to the back, the higher the rankings of the players, and the corresponding strength is stronger.
Among the younger generation, Hua Feng, Zuo Shaojun, Sui Zhongyu and a few others also appeared on the stage one after another, attracting special attention from the official women. After watching for so long, it is really rare to see such young people.
In addition, Yu Tianci, Wu Kang and others among the top ten hall leaders of the Sanjiang League also participated actively or passively, resulting in injuries all over their bodies.
Because their opponents are all people from Dark Night Villa, Sifang Alliance and even Miaohua Pavilion. When enemies from both sides meet, they will greet each other to death as soon as they go up.
Even outsiders can see the grudges and grudges in the battle.
Day four.
To everyone's surprise, Zhuo Mufeng, who had always stayed out of the incident, was finally named.
A bald old man with an iron rod and a fierce temperament flew onto the stage. He had fought before, and it was the famous Dragon Subduing Stick Zhao Yi, ranked 58th on the Earth Spirit Ranking.
This person comes from the Four Directions Alliance and is one of the top elders.
Zhao Yi's cold eyes were as cold as lightning. After scanning around, he fixed on Zhuo Mufeng and shouted: "Is Zhuo Mufeng of the Sanjiang Alliance here?"
Since defeating Meng Han, Zhuo Mufeng has risen to the 53rd place on the Earth Spirit Ranking. His ranking is higher than that of Zhao Yi, so he can naturally challenge him.
Swish, brush, brush...
One after another, they looked at Zhuo Mufeng, either curious, mocking, indifferent, or worried...
Previously, Zhao Yi was challenged by a master ranked 63rd on the Earth Spirit Ranking, but he defeated the opponent with only fifty-nine moves. This made people know that his strength was not limited to the 58th ranked master on the Earth Spirit Ranking, and might even reach the top. Entering the top fifty.
And with the grievances between the Sanjiang Alliance and the Sifang Alliance, and Zhuo Mufeng's potential so strong, any fool knows that Zhao Yi will not show mercy. Once Zhuo Mufeng loses, the consequences will be disastrous.
Of course, Zhuo Mufeng has very good qualifications, and no one can say that he has not improved in the past six months.
