Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

Lin Bai was resting in the small courtyard, and Liu Fuyun called all the Taoist-level warriors over and asked them about the competition tomorrow.

The sacrifice to the Moon God is over, and the Taoist martial arts competition will begin tomorrow.

Lasts for five days.

As the competition approaches, Star City begins to become lively.

Major handicap markets and casinos opened one after another, and odds were set for each competition based on the ranking on the star list.

Every competition at Xie Yue’s banquet attracts the attention of Xie Yue Qianzhou.

Not only will gambling houses be opened in Star City, there are also many warriors gathered in major cities in Yuezhou, mainly to open gambling houses.

Yunling Twenty-seven Prefectures, which are relatively close to Yuezhou, also have many gambling houses.

Many nobles and wealthy families from Xie Yue Qianzhou, including many young men from aristocratic families, would go to gambling houses to place bets.

There used to be people who made a lot of money by relying on Xie Yue's banquet; there were also people who spent a lot of money and then lost everything.

The Xie Yue Sect has set rules and opened gambling houses. The Xie Yue Sect does not participate in it, but it also requires the sects and families participating in the competition not to participate in the gambling houses and place bets.

It's easy to be willing. If the sects and families participating in the competition also place bets in the gambling house, it will be easy for match-fixing to occur.

Although the Xie Yue Sect has issued an order to remain silent, many weak families and sects will secretly open gambling rooms and place bets, allowing their disciples to secretly compete in competitions.

Take the "Tian Heng Sect" for example. During the last Xie Yue Banquet, the Tian Heng Sect was reported in real name for participating in betting and opening a gambling house, and its disciples secretly cheated on it.

It caused a sensation at the time.

In the end, the answer given by Tianheng Sect was that the disciples placed bets privately and had nothing to do with the sect, and each disciple was executed on the spot.

It is unknown whether it was Tianhengzong who placed the bet or which disciple placed the bet.

…

The east is white and the morning fog is lingering.

Liu Fuyun, a disciple of the Eternal Demon Sect, walked out of the house and went to the central block of Star City.

In the very center of Star City is the place for competition.

A circular "colosseum" was built here, enough to accommodate 100,000 people.

The competition arena in the field? The Xie Yue Sect has specially set up a defensive array. Even if the Taoist realm warriors attack with all their strength, the aftermath of the competition will not spread to the spectator seats.

Every time there is a martial arts competition at Xie Yue's banquet, Xie Yue Sect will invite three ancestors from the Taiyi Daoguo realm as referees to prevent any disciples from fighting, unable to hold back, or injuring someone's life.

Warriors in the Taiyi Daoguo realm may be rare in remote places like the Eternal Thirteen States, but to the Xie Yue Sect, they are not too rare.

According to the Xie Yue Sect, there are now more than a hundred powerful Taiyi Daoguo members in the sect.

But this is all a one-sided statement from the Xie Yue Sect? How many strong men in the Taiyi Daoguo realm are there in the Xie Yue Sect? No one knows the exact number.

Maybe more than hundreds? Maybe less than hundreds.

In Xieyue Sect, warriors in Taiyi Daoguo realm cannot be called "ancestors", but can only be called "elders".

The "ancestors" in Xieyue Sect are collectively known as the powerful people above the realm of "Daluo Daoguo".

Outside the competition venue, Liu Fuyun showed his identity token to the guard disciple of Xie Yue Sect, and was led by the disciples of Xie Yue Sect to the spectator seats.

Although Lin Bai and Jiang Xuansu are Taoist cultivators, today is not their competition, but they still want to come and see the situation.

When he came to the spectator seats, Lin Bai found that the spectator seats were full of warriors? It was already overcrowded.

In the circular arena, the west and north areas are already overcrowded. With so many people, there are few gaps to be found.

In the areas to the south and east, there are still a few areas that are free.

Meng Qi walked beside Lin Bai and whispered: "There are two types of warriors watching the battle in the west and north."

"One type is the warriors who only belong to the jurisdiction of Xie Yue Sect, that is, the major families and sects of Xie Yue's seventy-two states."

"One type is the masters of casual cultivating from other states."

"The warriors watching the battle in the southern area are mainly the disciples of the Xie Yue Sect."

"In the east area, there are disciples from various sects and families who came to participate in the competition."

The huge competition field was carefully cut into four parts by the Xie Yue Sect, and different warriors were placed in different positions. It seemed chaotic, but in fact it was orderly.

"Senior, this is the area where your sect is located. Please remember, senior, that your sect will be here to watch the competition in the next half month."

The Xie Yue Cult disciple led the Eternal Demon Sect and others to an empty area.

There are more than 300 vacant tables and chairs in this area, and a flag is planted in the center with the four characters "Eternal Demon Sect" written on it.

Lin Bai raised his eyes and saw that in the east area, the names of various sects were written every once in a while, such as "Red Moon Divine Sect", "Yunling Li Family", "Xie Yue Sect", "Tianheng Sect" and "Guiyue Sect" "Zixia Sect", "Fengxue Villa" and so on.

Lin Bai was familiar with several sects, and he saw the areas where they were located one by one.

There is no one in the area of ​​Xie Yue Sect. It seems that the disciples of Xie Yue Sect have not arrived yet.

There are already warriors seated in Tianheng Sect, Guiyue Sect, Zixia Sect, Yunling Li Family and other areas.

Finally, Lin Bai looked towards Fengxue Villa and saw the warriors of Fengxue Villa.

I originally wanted to see which member of the Tiantian Clan, but Lin Bai didn't know him. Even if he saw him, he wouldn't know that he was a member of the Tiantian Clan.

After Liu Fuyun thanked the Xie Yue Sect disciples, he ordered his disciples to find a seat and sit down, waiting for the competition to begin.

Lin Bai, Jiang Xuansu, Gong Jian, Meng Qi and other Taoist realm warriors sat behind Liu Fuyun and looked at the bustling competition arena.

The voices of hundreds of thousands of people, even if each person's voice is as small as a mosquito, but when combined together, it is like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.

Their eyes were excited and blazing, looking forward to the start of the competition.

Especially the warriors in the west and north areas kept looking at the competitions taking place in the east area.

Under such fiery gazes, the competition has not yet begun, and the blood in many disciples' bodies has already begun to burn. They are gearing up and want to do something big after the competition begins.

When the morning sun rises in the east and the warm sunshine dispels the coldness of the earth, the disciples of Xie Yue Sect enter one after another.

At this point, all the major sects participating in the competition have arrived.

Every once in a while, an old man in gray robe floated down from the sky. He smiled and bowed his hands to the audience: "I, Xieyue Cult Luo Wuling, would like to thank all of you comrades for traveling thousands of miles to attend the Xieyue Festival." Banquet, on behalf of Xie Yue Sect, I would be very grateful."

As the old man bowed his hands in a salute, the whole place roared: "Luo Wuling... Taiyi Daoguo..."

"It's really the right time to come to Xie Yue's banquet. On weekdays, the powerful Taiyi Daoguo, who usually sees the dragon but never sees its tail, will meet him as soon as he says he wants to."

"I'll pay my respects to Senior Luo later."

"Greetings to Senior Luo."

As Luo Wuling appeared on the stage, all the warriors became excited.
