In the thunderous cheers of everyone, the Great Elder slowly stood up, his old figure was not very majestic in the huge Infinite Pavilion.

However, only the moment he stood up, the whole square suddenly fell silent, and the silence made people a little unaccustomed.

The area where the Great Elder is located is a gathering place for the high-level leaders of the Wuji Sect, and even the Sect Master Yingnan is sitting next to the Great Elder, not to mention that the identity of the Great Elder himself is also extraordinary.

So, within this square of the Infinite Pavilion, it doesn't matter which corner of the stand you are sitting in.

While caring about the battle situation and shouting hard, they will leave some eyes on their hearts, closely watching every move in this area, and those people are invisible pressure as long as they sit here, and people can't ignore them.

Just like at this moment, the Great Elder stood up without warning, but he was the first to be noticed by everyone, if he wasn't staring at it all the time, how could he be so tacit?

"First of all, congratulations to Qin Wuyi for being at the top of the Qiyun List, the top of the Qiyun List has changed hands, it is undoubtedly a good thing for our Wuji Sect, a pool of stagnant water can't come out of the real dragon.

The three competitions in the past two days have shown a very high level, and they have also fully demonstrated the demeanor of my Wuji Sect disciples, which is something that each of us is happy to see.

I hope that other disciples can follow the example of Qin Wuyi and others, and work hard to cultivate and improve their cultivation to enhance their strength, add glory to my Wuji Sect, and also contribute to their own cultivation path. ”

As soon as the Great Elder opened his mouth, he first affirmed this battle for the top of the list, which can be regarded as the best summary of this battle for the top spot.

However, everyone present knew that the Great Elder stood up and spoke this time, but it was by no means to make a summary of this battle for the top spot.

There must be something more important, and the previous words are just a little foreshadowing on today's occasion.

Sure enough, after a slight pause, the Great Elder cut to the chase as soon as he switched to the point.

"This year is the year of the centennial celebration of our Western Regions City, and it is the annual autumn siege, and the double festival is celebrated together with the city. ”

As the Great Elder spoke, many people couldn't stop nodding, as a city standing on the northern border of the Zhenwu Dynasty, Western Regions City also has a very ancient and long history, not to mention hundreds of years.

Since the birth of the Western Regions City, the city has been celebrated on October 10 every ten years.

No matter which city lord he is, he will hold a grand and extraordinary celebration of the city during his tenure to show his political achievements.

And throughout October, the Western Regions City will be lit up with lights and beams, and it will be more lively and prosperous than before.

As for Qiuwei, to a certain extent, it is a more important day than the city celebration, and no matter how grand the city celebration is, it is only a symbolic meaning, and there is no actual content.

Autumn Wai is different, it may not be grand, but it will definitely tug at your nerves, and even determine the development direction of Western Regions City in the next year or even longer.

At the time of the Autumn Siege, the four major forces in the Western Regions City will compete fiercely, and according to their respective performances, they will rank a level of strength.

The forces that won the first place in the competition in the autumn siege can not only pocket all the rewards that the four companies jointly paid.

Moreover, in the development of Western Regions City in the next year, they will have a considerable right to speak, and take the opportunity to expand their respective forces, which is also an inevitable thing.

Speaking of the four major forces that dominate the Western Regions City, it is not so complicated, the Wuji Sect is one of them, and the other three are the City Lord's Mansion, the Dragon Teng Chamber of Commerce, and the Black Stone Alliance.

The contradiction between secular power and cultivation sects is a very common existence in the entire transcendent world, and its way of presentation is nothing more than three forms.

If the secular power is strong enough, it is strong enough to firmly suppress all the cultivation sects within the territory, forming a situation in which the imperial power is supreme and supreme.

Then it will develop into a powerful empire, and all sects in the empire will have to submit to the royal family, accept the leadership of the royal family, and even directly serve the royal family.

On the contrary, if the power of the cultivation sect is strong enough, it will be difficult for the secular imperial power to continue to exist.

Even if it exists, it can only be a symbol in name only, without any real power to control the fate of the country, and in the long run it will appear in the nature of an alliance.

If a country has only one union, it is called the CIS, but as a rule, there are at least two opposing alliances in the same territory.

The synergy between the various sects that make up the alliance, and the tension between the major alliances, have become the most important conditions for determining whether this territory is strong or not.

There is another, more neutral situation where secular power and cultivation sects go hand in hand.

Each cannot form an overwhelming advantage over the other, and can only tolerate a situation where they coexist, and the struggle will continue.

What is certain is that this coexistence is the most backward of the three social forms.

This seemingly stable situation is actually the most unstable, as the so-called mountain does not tolerate two tigers, unless there is one male and one female, but between secular power and cultivation sects, who wants to be the tigress?

So, sooner or later, it's better to score a result.

The Zhenwu Dynasty is such a one, in the third form, a relatively backward social existence.

Between secular power and cultivation sects, every inch of land must be contested, and each one does not give in to each other, and there is no distinction between high and low.

Any slight collision may become the fuse of a major war, triggering varying degrees of turmoil.

Take Western Regions City as an example.

The City Lord's Mansion undoubtedly represented the authority of the royal family of the Zhenwu Dynasty, and the Wuji Sect and the Black Stone Alliance belonged to the opposing cultivation sects.

It is precisely because of the mutual opposition between secular power and cultivation sects that the seemingly neutral force of the Longteng Chamber of Commerce has been given the soil for the existence of the Dragon Teng Chamber of Commerce, and it has developed extremely rapidly.

Businessmen are very profitable, and the Longteng Chamber of Commerce is like this, for it, there are no eternal friends, and there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

The headquarters of the Longteng Chamber of Commerce is located in Xizhou County, located in the Western Regions City, which is just one of the rudders, but it already has considerable scale and strength.

Both are cultivation sects, and there are also great differences between the Wuji Sect and the Black Stone Alliance.

The existence of the Wuji Sect has a long history and has a fairly thick heritage, and it naturally forms a relatively closed system.

It is mainly manifested in the composition of the members, most of them are mainly the disciples of the three families of Ying, Hua and Zhang, and there are very few disciples with foreign surnames, and there are even fewer who can get ahead among them.

It can be said that the members of the Wuji Sect have a fixed origin, and whether it is the main family, the branch family, or the side branch of the Ying, Hua, and Zhang families, they can all be counted as descendants of the Wuji Sect.

Closure inevitably brings exclusivity, this exclusion is mutual, Wuji Sect rarely absorbs disciples with foreign surnames, and people with foreign surnames rarely choose to worship Wuji Sect, except for some people who have maintained good generational contacts with the Ying, Hua, and Zhang families.

The Blackstone Alliance is different, it was originally an alliance existence, and it was originally formed by some monks who were unwilling to join the Wuji Sect.

It has slowly become a climate, and it can even keep pace with the Wuji Sect, so that in recent years, there has almost been a trend of surpassing the Wuji Sect.

The biggest characteristic of the Blackstone Alliance is its openness, both internally and externally, with a mix of internal members and factions, and initially possessing the rudiments of democracy.

There are no special rules for recruiting disciples, and there are no strict requirements, and those who come with the door open are guests.

Newcomers to the Blackstone Alliance can choose to join any of these factions, or they can choose to go on their own.

The relationship between the major factions is only an offensive and defensive alliance, but there is no obligation to share exercises and mystical techniques.

The organizational structure is also relatively loose, there is no person to claim the throne, and everything is decided by the people in charge of the major factions.

Whether it is a cultivation sect like the Wuji Sect and the Black Stone Alliance, or a representative of the royal authority like the City Lord's Mansion, or a commercial organization like the Longteng Chamber of Commerce.

In fact, the boundaries between them are not necessarily clear, they all have a considerable number of cultivators as an armed force, and they also have a considerable scale of commercial industry as a channel for making money.

The autumn siege of the Western Regions City is built on such a foundation.

Every late autumn and October, the four companies will come up with the same amount of prizes and have some form of competition.

The winner can not only pocket all the prizes, but also enjoy a considerable say in the next year to grab more benefits.

The format of the competition is not set in stone, and the size of the competition will also depend on the situation, as long as it is fair.

There is a special situation, that is, when the autumn siege coincides with the city celebration, the scale of the autumn siege will reach the peak in the past ten years, and the four forces often use the city celebration to play a big one!

This is the case this year, Qiuwei has met Chengqing, and the four forces will inevitably have to make a big move.

It's just that I don't know how to do it yet, and presumably this is what the Great Elder is going to say.
