C234 Opening Ceremony
Three days later, with an unprecedented twenty years of prosperity in the Eastern Royal Great Empire, the exchange matches between the three great sects officially began!
When the sun had just risen above the horizon that day, Duobao Sect and their group left their residences one after another, preparing to head towards the Origin Sect Mountain Gate.
Origin Sect s Great Sect Master, Lin Wuhui, Second Sect Master Hsu Wei, and Liu Tie Luo Fei had long since led a group of Origin Sect s and higher-ups to the mountain gate, waiting for the two sects to arrive.
No matter how many fights they had, as long as they did not fall out, Origin Sect would still do its job. Otherwise, what they would lose would only be Origin Sect's own face.
"Haha …" Sect Master Zhuo, Sect Master Duan, and Sect Master Zheng, your presence brings light to my humble dwelling! "Haha …" Upon seeing Duobao Sect's team, Lin Wuhui immediately welcomed them with a smile.
"Sect Master Lin, I came here from afar this time. I hope Sect Master Lin and his disciples can show mercy, haha …" Zhuo Bufan also said a few words of 'without nutrition'. Actually, everyone was tacit agreement with each other. These were all just pleasantries when meeting each other.
Especially Duobao Sect, which was extremely intense, and was most likely only a small portion of distance away from the meeting between the two of them. But the current number one person of the two sects actually seemed to be an old friend that had met, and it could be said that the two of them were people with extremely good self-restraint.
"Oh? The three Ice Valley Lords are here as well! " The two groups of people looked to the other side and saw a group of cultivators wearing white robes rushing over.
The Ice River Valley was passed down within the clan, and all five valley masters were brothers by blood. This eldest was the Great Valley Master of the Ice River Valley, Bing Wuya.
After the three groups of people officially met, they were led by their host Lin Wuhui to the largest martial arts arena inside the Origin Sect Mountain Gate. The three groups of people sat down on three different sides of the stage.
All of the Three Sects disciples present rubbed their hands together, looking eager to give it a try, as their faces all revealed an expectant expression.
After the simple ceremony, the top figures of the Duobao Sect, Origin Sect, and Ice River Valley stood up one by one, and at the same time, announced the official start of the Three Sects exchange competition.
However, before the official start of the exchange, each sect had to submit their names and their names, and their names were listed in triplicate. Apart from one name left for their own sect, the other two sects had to hand over their names to the other two sects.
After the contestant list was handed in, the contestants needed to be matched up with the list of contestants one by one under the supervision of the Three Sects, in order to prevent the possibility of someone impersonating the contestant.
When the higher ups of the Origin Sect read the name "Nie Zhen", the expressions of all the higher ups of the Origin Sect changed.
Nie Zhen? Didn't he die at the Moshi Mountain Range? Because of this matter, Origin Sect and Duobao Sect had been at loggerheads for a long time, and they were almost about to start fighting. Why did he appear again at this time?
The faces of the higher ups of the Origin Sect turned serious. They had realized that they might have been tricked by the Duobao Sect regarding this matter.
Duobao Sect had always announced his loss to the public, wasn't this person Nie Zhen?!
Right now, Nie Zhen had arrogantly appeared in Origin Sect and was participating in the Three Sects exchange competition.
Lin Wuhui could not help but sneer: "Sect Master Zhuo, your Duobao Sect is truly painstaking … The reason you call a living person dead, is because you want to confuse my Origin Sect?! "
Zhuo Bufan didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. Actually, he really didn't do it on purpose, but he didn't know how to explain it clearly, so he could only smile bitterly and say: "Hehe …" As the saying goes, one doesn't get tired of fighting … "Haha …"
The second sect master of Origin Sect, Hsu Wei, who was beside Lin Wuhui, was furious. He shouted at Zhuo Bufan: "You can't lie to us, it has nothing to do with us! But you clearly aren't dead yet yet, yet you have been pestering us with Origin Sect for so long. It's clear that you are calling us thieves! "
Unexpectedly, Zhuo Bufan shook his head lightly and said: "No! It's a very normal thing for our Duo Bao Empire to defend the sovereignty of Moshi Mountain Range. This has nothing to do with whether or not someone dies, it's unlike some people who actually sneak into someone's place despite clearly not possessing the authority to do so. What do you think, if that's not a thief? "In the end, he just picked up a rock and threw it at his own feet. It was nothing more than asking for it."
"How preposterous!" Hsu Wei shouted in fury, "The Moshi Mountain Range has half of the authority of my Origin Sect, this is something that everyone in the Yuan Empire knows! "Since when did your Myriad Treasures Empire have complete control over the Moshi Mountain Range?"
Zhuo Bufan shrugged and said indifferently: "Do whatever you want. After all, the current Moshi Mountain Range is just a piece of ruin. Sect Master Xu, are you not even going to let go of that ruin? If that's really the case, then we won't be able to give you those crushed rocks either. "
Hsu Wei was so angry that his entire body was trembling. Forget about all those broken rocks, even if the Moshi Mountain Range was given to the Yuan Empire, they wouldn't want it!
Who knew how much manpower and resources would be needed to completely clear the ruins? Who knew who would want it?
Actually, Hsu Wei, and even the entire higher ups of the Origin Sect were angry and frustrated because the seven elders of their own sect, Moshi Mountain Range, had lost! When he thought about how his own clan's genius Yu Baitian, who had been hiding for a long time, had actually ended up suffering a mental attack, the more they thought about it, the more furious they became. The more they looked at their Duobao Sect, especially at Nie Zhen's unpleasantness.
At this time, the Great Valley Master Bing Tianya of the Ice River Valley slowly walked over and smiled to the two of them: "Gentlemen, I didn't think that you would still be in the mood to bicker at such a time. Hehe... There are so many participating disciples below the stage waiting to verify their identities, and then the rules of the tournament will be announced.
Although Bing Tianya's words angered the higher ups of Origin Sect, they were unable to find any faults in Bing Tianya. As for Zhuo Bufan, he was naturally indifferent with a calm and unperturbed expression, and did not mind at all.
The process of checking their identities was actually not that complicated. Each sect only sent out eight participating disciples, a total of twenty-four people. Very quickly, everyone had checked their identities.1
"Alright, let's check our identities. Gentlemen, let's see if we should follow the usual practice …" A bet? "Sect Master Lin, what do you say?" Bing Tianya seemed interested.
"A bet?" Nie Zhen was somewhat at a loss, Bing Tianya said it was customary, but Nie Zhen did not know what it was.
Duan Rong knew that Nie Zhen did not understand much about these things, so he smiled and sent him a sound transmission: "Disciple, this so-called bet, is actually the old rules of the Three Sects exchange competition. The three great sects that are participating, will all come up with their own bets, and the nature of the bets is similar to the Treasure Snatching Competition that you guys created in the sect. There were no rules governing the bet, it could be decided by the three major sects through discussion. The Three Sects exchange competition itself did not have any prizes, so it would become a kind of reward. Originally. We would not place any heavy bets, but the situation now is greatly advantageous for us. Master has discussed it with Great Sect Master and Fifth Sect Master before, this group of youngsters has great potential, and is worthy of placing heavy bets on the sect! "
This kind of reward system could have made the disciples become more focused and motivated, which was also an old rule of Three Sects Exchange Competition. Qin Wuyan and the others all knew one thing, only Nie Zhen did not listen to outside affairs, which was why Liu Tie was needed to explain it to them.
Zhuo Bufan had originally planned to challenge Lin Wuhui to a bet, but now that Bing Tianya had stepped in, he was happy to keep a low profile.
Lin Wuhui was secretly angry. At this point, how could he not see that his side's hope this time was not as optimistic as they had expected?
Forget about other things, Duobao Sect's Nie Zhen did not fall, just this point is enough to cause a huge change in Tian Jin. Origin Sect's trump card, Yu Baitian, has died, they no longer have any cards left in their hands, but Duobao Sect's Qin Wuyan who is not inferior to Yu Baitian, and even Nie Zhen who is stronger than Qin Wuyan, Liu Tie already did not have a good impression of this victory.
Seeing Bing Tianya's eager expression, how could he be so enthusiastic about the wager. It was obvious that he was full of ambition and must have some hidden trump card.
Even though he was angry in his heart, he still said with a faint smile: "As the host of this exchange, my Origin Sect has always advocated peace as the most important thing. This bet, in the end, is still just a game to play, so there's no need to be too persistent.
After Lin Wuhui said this, he was afraid that others would think he was being weak, so he added: "My Origin Sect is hosting the Three Sects Exchange Competition this time, and I do not want to carry the title of master and bully the guests. How about, this time's wager, let's stop here, our main goal is to nurture young people … "As for the wager, at our level, we don't hold it in high regard anymore …"
Those who heard this might think that Lin Wuhui was very angry, but those who knew the inside story all felt that it was funny. This Sect Master Lin was the one who cared about bets the most in the past years and was very keen on gambling the most.
In the past, the person who provoked him, instigated him, and forced him to place a heavy bet was clearly Lin Wuhui. However, this time, he actually acted as if he did not care.
When Lin Wuhui saw everyone looking at him with a meaningful look, he knew he lost a lot of face this time. However, there was nothing he could do. If he didn't lose face, he would have to cut his own flesh!
