Xiacheng, a city that is not big or small and mainly focuses on tourism development, has beautiful scenery and fresh air. In addition to the natural formations, its rich history and the well-preserved thousand-year-old monuments are one of the reasons why it is so popular.

Yuan An dragged a small suitcase, and after walking out of the airport, the fresh and refreshing air quickly dispelled the fatigue of sitting on the plane for several hours.

It's still early, so it's just right to rush to sign up after lunch.

There is a friendship alliance in the martial arts world, and there is also a triennial "Otherworldly Seminar" in the alien world, which is an important event for various sects at home and abroad to prove their strength, with a lot of bonuses, and it is a good opportunity to make a name for themselves.

Every year, a host is selected from among the major powerful and prestigious sects to preside over the smooth progress of the "seminar".

This year's host is the Nine Xuanzong, one of the best sects in the field, and the location is chosen in Xia City.

It is said that such an event has nothing to do with Yuan An and Meng Poyi, Meng Poyi is naturally disdainful, and although Yuan An can see the soul, he has no fate in the magic.

However, this time, Meng Poyi suddenly gave him an admission ticket and let him come alone to participate in this triennial event. There is no requirement for results, just participation, and if necessary, just complete one or two tasks. Meng Poyi was entangled in other affairs this time, so she went out after a few simple words.

As a great faction that has stood for thousands of years, Jiuxuanzong's financial resources and abilities cannot be underestimated. Of course, it is not the first time to preside over the grand event, everything is carried out in an orderly manner.

Registration is held in the reception hall on the first floor of a five-star hotel, and participants with admission tickets are even eligible to stay here for free.

When Yuan An arrived, there were already several long queues for registration, and the disciples of the Nine Xuanzong Sect in uniform clothes walked all over the hall, performing their duties in an orderly manner.

Because the Jiuxuanzong is famous, although there are many people who sign up, it is still quiet in the end. Yuan An casually found a formation to stand at the end, waiting for the formation to slowly shorten.

At this moment, there was a sudden movement outside the hall door, which caused people in line to look at the door. I vaguely heard someone saying words such as "holding the Holy Gate", "Holy Mother", and "beauty".

Yuan An thought that it should be the person who held the Holy Gate and arrived. Sure enough, a moment later, the person who caused a sensation walked in, the first person was wearing a light yellow full-breasted skirt, a green shawl hanging from his wrist, and his long hair was tied in a simple bun.

Song Chenyi has a noble status in the Holy Gate, and he also has a certain reputation in other sects, and the disciples of the Nine Xuanzong also know it, and they are about to politely come forward to salute, when they see a girl in a purple skirt walking out of the elevator, and when they saw Song Chenyi, their eyes immediately lit up, and they happily greeted her.

The girl in the skirt looked delicate and cute, and there was a discussion in the hall, and they were excited that they were just registering for a name, and they were fortunate to meet the holy lady who held the Holy Gate, and the eldest lady of the Nine Xuanzong.

Although they hadn't met a few times, in view of the other party's attitude towards Meng Poyi, Yuan An really didn't have a good impression of this eldest lady, so he simply walked a few steps to the side and retreated behind the crowd.

"Sister Dressing. Hua gently greeted Song Chenyi and said happily, "I didn't expect you to come here in person this year." ”

Song Chenyi said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time! The master of the door is in retreat, and I came over without anything to do when I was idle." ”

What she said was naturally kind words, although Song Chenyi and Hua Qingqing had a good relationship, but the two sects have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, it is like a convention, as long as it is the year when one of the sects is the host, the head of the other sect will not personally lead the team.

Hua said softly: "Let's go upstairs first, there are too many people here." ”

Song Chenyi said: "It's okay, sign up first." ”

"What's this? Hua said lightly, "You can tell me who are participating in this year's competition, and I will ask the disciples of the Nine Xuanzong Sect to write it down directly." ”

She is sweet-looking, her voice is crisp, and these two sects are really powerful, and the people listening next to her don't think there is anything wrong with such words.

"How can that be done?" Song Chenyi smiled and straightened her hair and said, "Since you have already come here, you naturally have to act according to the rules of the Nine Xuanzong." In this case, I'll go up with you first, and let them line up to sign up on their own. ”

Hua lightly nodded when she heard this, anyway, she originally went downstairs in person for Song Chenyi, and she naturally didn't care about other people.

Waiting for the two to leave, the others in the queue came back to their senses, in addition to admiring the flower-like beauty of the two women, they all praised Song Chenyi's clear distinction between public and private, and good morality.

Everyone was still discussing, Yuan An returned to his position, and suddenly a figure hurried over, pushed Yuan An away, and shouted:

"Go away, this is my place. ”

Who knew that he pushed it but didn't push it, and the person who came was annoyed and angry, and was about to do it again, but his wrist was firmly grasped with two fingers, and a cold voice said:

"What makes you think my position is so easy to occupy?"

Most of the people who came to sign up were in groups of threes and threes, Zhou Shuang didn't want to queue up for a long time, and when he saw that Yuan An was alone, he had a deceptive mind, who knew that the other party was so ignorant of lifting, and his wrist was pinched by the other party, and he was even more angry at the moment, and his empty right hand picked up a spirit rune, and recited the spell and pasted it on Yuan An's body.

Although Yuan An had no chance in magic, the background was too powerful. Speaking of competition, Meng Poyi naturally would not let him come empty-handed.

When Zhou Shuang made a move, Yuan An immediately took out a short and old peachwood sword, and then he himself didn't understand why, he only felt that something cold from the spirit rune was transferred to the peachwood sword with his body as a medium.

Then the wooden sword touched Zhou Shuang, and he heard him shout, falling to the ground and screaming in pain.

The attention of the people around was quickly attracted, and the surprised and curious gazes invariably fell on the peachwood sword in Yuan An's hand.

Yuan An put away the wooden sword, took off the spirit rune on his body and crumpled it into a ball, raised his hand and threw it into the trash can in the distance, and said with a sneer: "The pain is so bad, it seems that this talisman is poisonous enough." ”

There were also people who saw Yuan An alone before, and they were somewhat contemptuous, but at this time, seeing him show his wooden sword, although he collected it quickly, some knowledgeable people exclaimed:

"Alien Sword? It's actually Alien Sword!"

For a moment, time changed from contempt to solemnity and inquiry. After all, taking out such a precious thing so easily, this person's own strength is really not to be underestimated.

If Meng Po knew that in order to ensure the safety of Yuan'an, she would keep a low profile and not attract attention, and the peach wood sword that she deliberately found would arouse the jealousy of others as soon as she appeared, it is estimated that she would only be helpless.

Zhou Shuang was so dizzy in pain that he didn't hear what others said, he got up and was about to get angry, when the disciples of Jiuxuanzong next to him saw that there was a quarrel and hurriedly walked over, and after learning the reason, he asked Zhou Shuang to go to the back to line up.

Since he had already alarmed the Nine Xuanzong, Zhou Shuang didn't dare to make a big fuss, and after glaring at Yuan An fiercely, he rushed back angrily.

Yuan An had already looked down at the wooden sword in his hand, and he didn't even give him a look.

When the line finally arrived at Yuan'an, he took out the admission ticket and said his name again, and after the disciple in charge of signing up wrote down his name, he asked, "Sect?"

Yuan An said: "In the name of the soul of the person." ”

The registered disciple asked again, "What about the sect?"

Yuan An said: "No. ”

The registered disciples were even more strange, after taking the admission ticket and reading it, he asked again in disbelief, and when he learned that it was still not, he asked the other disciples to come to Lingyuan An to rest and wait for the accommodation to be arranged.

After Yuan An left, the disciple also took the admission ticket with the word "Yuan An" written on it with a strange face and checked it. It's not that he's making too much fuss, it's just that the scattered people who have no door and no faction have admission tickets, and this is the first time they've met.

The registration was gradually coming to an end, and in the aisle leading to the rest area, Hua Qingcong walked briskly humming a song, suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at a figure standing next to the floor-to-ceiling curtains, and there was a flash of surprise in his eyes.

But before he could take a few more looks, he saw a man with an unkind face coming over, and he pulled the girl away very gently.

"Tsk. Hua Qingcong said dissatisfiedly, "Such a good-looking girl really doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade at all." ”

"Brother Zhou?" Lin Yu was suddenly pulled by his arm, frowning in pain, but still asked with concern on his face, "What's wrong with you?"

"What's your business. Zhou Shuang threw the person on a sofa nearby, and asked with an unkind face, "Let you wait for me, what are you doing here?"

"I'm ......" Lin Yu was frightened by his face, and whispered, "I thought you would definitely go in this direction, and I could see when your registration ended here." I'm sorry, don't be angry!"

"Forget it. Zhou Shuang said impatiently, "I bypassed you this time, don't go against what I said next time, understand?"

"Yes, I see. Lin Yu nodded hurriedly.

The hotel has been fully contracted by Jiuxuanzong, with a total of seven floors, a hall on the first floor, a restaurant on the second floor, including a Chinese restaurant, a Western restaurant, a café, etc., and a guest room above the third floor.

Although it is the same hotel, it is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the higher the floor, the higher the status of the people who live there, and the sect represented is also more powerful.

Those who have admission tickets will wait in the rest area of the hall on the first floor after registration, and when the registration is over, the disciples of the Nine Xuanzong will come to arrange accommodation.

The seventh floor is basically a distinguished guest who does not need to wait, so it is generally from the sixth floor, and the person whose name is read will follow the disciples of the Nine Xuanzong and take the elevator directly upstairs.

After reading on the sixth floor, Zhou Shuang heard his name unexpectedly, as a great disciple of the world, he still has this confidence.
