When Xia Sheng and his party arrived in Xiucheng, before crossing the Shuo River, Sunset Valley, thousands of miles away from them, was already full of guests and lively.

The young leaders of the three major academies, the nine great families, and the seventy-two sects had already entered the Sunset Valley three days ago.

Well, that's not particularly accurate.

Because Sunset Valley was originally one of the seventy-two sects.

Compared with the three major academies and the nine great families, although the seventy-two sects sound overwhelming in terms of number and magnificent, in fact, their internal sect struggles are very cruel, and the good and bad are uneven, and some small sects even have a total of only twenty or thirty people, which is really not on the table.

So in fact, there are only seven that are really worthy of the title of "sect".

It is also recognized by the world as one of the seven major sects that play a leading role in the seventy-two sects.

They are: Changying Gate, Sunset Valley, Blood Sword Alliance, Beast Control Villa, Hundred Flowers Sect, Lost Sword Sect, and Chongxu Palace.

These seven schools are regarded as the first echelon within the seventy-two sects.

Its strength is far from being comparable to that of dozens of other sects.

Interestingly, these seven factions happened to be located in the seven major states of the Dajin Dynasty.

The Sunset Valley, where the Spring Festival is held, is in Jiangzhou.

If you really want to talk about it, in fact, Xia Sheng and several of them have more or less intersected.

For example, the Lost Sword Sect.

Although the White Sun Fireworks Killing Sword that Xia Sheng used in the Forgotten Forest that day was from the white-clothed Sword Saint Mu Chenyi, its remnants were now preserved in the Lost Sword Sect.

Moreover, among the people who represented the Lost Sword Sect this time, or the seventy-two sects to participate in the Spring Festival, there was also an old acquaintance of Xia Sheng.

is a disciple of the Lost Sword Sect, Tang Xixi, who is regarded by many people as a heroine!

Besides. When the ruling division was ordered to escort Pingnanhou into Beijing, he passed through Heishui Town, and in front of Xia Sheng's eyes, in that ordinary farmhouse courtyard, a major assassination case occurred, although it ended in failure. But those two murderers were found to be members of the Blood Sword Alliance!

Afterwards, the imperial court expressed a strong anger for this, and the Blood Sword Alliance also paid an extremely heavy price, its suzerain took the blame for self-judgment in front of the saint, three of the top ten masters in the door were killed, five were disabled, and tens of thousands of disciples under the door suffered heavy casualties under the encirclement and suppression of the Dajin army.

But in the end, I don't know what kind of consensus the Blood Sword Alliance reached with the imperial court, and what kind of mercy the emperor and his old man had, and did not cut it to the roots, but let the people of the Blood Sword Alliance live. Left to their own devices.

After this battle, the strength of the Blood Sword Alliance has been greatly damaged, and its prestige has plummeted, and now it has already fallen from the first echelon.

Of course, in fact, in the assassination of Pingnanhou. There was definitely more than one Blood Sword Alliance involved, but the Blood Sword Alliance was very unlucky to be caught and seized. And it is not surprising that it was set up as a model and ended up like this.

In addition, don't forget, among these seven major sects, Xia Sheng also had a good relationship with one of them.

It's the Kuimu of the Royal Beast Villa!

On that day, Kuimu was actually ordered to take the life of Pingnanhou, but he failed to succeed through the full protection of Huai'an and others. Later, after Huai'an, Cheng Liran, and Mo Lin, the three generals of the Adjudication Division, died in the infighting, Kuimu originally had a chance to kill Pingnanhou.

But he never thought that Brother Jing had to be loyally escorted all the way, and he really let Pingnanhou escape without danger.

Of course, in the end, Pingnanhou was able to survive. Whether there is an inevitable connection with him betraying Brother Jing and fleeing back to Xiling alone is only known to him and Kuimu.

According to the rules of the Spring Festival, in addition to being born in the three major academies, nine families, and seventy-two sects, the participants must not be more than 30 years old in age, so this time Kuimu is not eligible to participate in the Spring Festival.

On behalf of their Royal Beast Villa, the second son of Ji Tianhu, Ji Feng, was shortlisted for the Spring Mansion.

For the Dajin Dynasty, especially for the cultivation world, the Spring Festival is a rare event, and the competition during the period is secondary, the key is that such a grand event has created a rare opportunity for young talents from all families to gather together.

Those who can participate in the Spring Festival Contest are not mediocre talents, and everyone is learning from each other and reflecting their own evidence, maybe they will be able to have an epiphany, and create more favorable conditions for further cultivation in the future.

It is said that spiritual practitioners value chance first.

But in fact, whether it is martial arts or spiritual cultivation, as long as you step into the long road of cultivation, who will think that you have more opportunities?

And the Spring Contest is a rare opportunity for all the rising stars in the cultivation world.

Before the official start of spring, a variety of lively activities have been prepared in Sunset Valley.

For example, a large-scale auction, a treasure market that can only be bartered, and some Oiran selection, etc., etc., etc.

In general, if you don't take into account the ranking of the next big competition, this is completely a big party in the cultivation world.

Regardless of the north, south, east and west, regardless of spiritual and martial arts, you can find your own pleasure in it.

And this time, the one who has the least ambition for the ranking of the big competition is the Spring and Autumn Academy.

In addition, Wei Qiuyue, who was in charge of pressing the formation this time, Dean Wei, didn't manage the students very much, so as soon as he arrived in Sunset Valley, Mo Yuan pulled Shen Hui and Zhou Bo out to play.

Of course, Jiang Qiqi's follow-up was purely an accident.

"We're going to go to Hualou for a while, so could it be that you come along?"

If Mo Yuan doesn't leave his old job in three sentences, this is really wronging him, it is really everyone who came out together to relax, but with a big iceberg around him that is always like frost, everyone will feel disappointed.

Therefore, Mo Yuan could only use this to provoke Jiang Qiqi to leave.

Who would have thought that Jiang Qiqi didn't look at him at all, but just replied coldly: "I'm just watching you for Zheng Jiaoxi, no matter where you go, I have to follow." ”

Hearing this, Mo Yuan didn't bother to argue with Jiang Qiqi, anyway, he couldn't argue, well, and he couldn't beat her, so he could only treat her as a ball of air.

On the side, Shen Hui continued to make peace, and said with a smile: "Everyone is in the same door, what are you angry about, since you came out together, let's go shopping together." ”

Zhou Bo was the weakest of the four people, and he didn't know much about the grievances left by Mo Yuan and Jiang Qiqi when they were recruiting for the academy, so he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and he didn't help talk.

However, Mo Yuan was determined to shake off Jiang Qiqi's little tail today, and immediately waved his hand heroically, pointing to the emerald red mansion with a group of warblers and swallows not far ahead, and said: "Let's go, today my brother will let you two see and understand, what is it called to be in the middle of thousands of flowers, and not a single leaf will be touched!"
