In the blink of an eye, three days passed in a hurry, and Linglan City finally ushered in the quadrennial festival - the competition of the major families.

This year's was hosted by the Yuejia family, so the venue of the competition was set near the market in Nancheng. Six huge rings have been built here for use during the Tide Tournament, and the Founder Ring in the middle is entirely made of giant rocks and is reserved for the final ten.

As soon as the sun rose, the crowd was already gathering around the ring near the bazaar.

The scene at this moment is colorful flags fluttering, crowds of people, gongs and drums, and people's voices.

There are a total of 150 players in this competition, and 30 people in each ring are drawn to determine the opponent.

The rules of the knockout tournament are actually very simple, admit defeat and abstain or fall into the ring as the loser.

Because the contest will use the weapon to do its best, the so-called sword has no eyes, and it is inevitable to be disabled in the fight, but it is not allowed to take the opportunity to kill the opponent, so there will be high-ranking deacons sent by the four major families in each ring to strictly monitor, and if anyone dares to kill in the competition, they will be captured.

After all, those who come to the ring to compete are the best of each family, and no one wants to see the pillars of their families assassinated to death by their opponents.

As the start of the competition approached, the heads and elders of the major families brought their younger generation of players into the competition venue.

For a while, the people around him began to talk again.

"Look, the two heads of the Li Jiatian family are here. ”

"Four years ago, the Li family and the Tian family both had people in the top fifteen!"

"The Zhang family is also here over there, and it is actually their Supreme Elder who is leading the team. ”

......

Some small families have entered the venue to choose a good place. These positions are determined by the rankings after the competition four years ago, and no one can just stand around.

It didn't take long for the competition venue to be full of people from all major families, and it was really crowded and lively

"Look at it, it's from the Tao family. ”

"It was Tao Wei who personally led the team, he was the master of the top ten in the last promotion, he was a high-level mystic at that time, and his current strength should be more sophisticated. ”

"In the last session, his elder brother Tao Ze won the first place and was sent to Tianxuanzong, as a younger brother, his strength will not be weak. ”

"Four years have passed, and this year he is also a popular candidate for the top spot!"

"This year, the Yue family is leading the team with Yue Feng, and this time there is a good show to watch"

"No, the earth-shattering battle between Tao Wei and Yue Feng is still unforgettable, I don't know who killed the deer this time, I really can't say. ”

"Don't forget that the strength of the Zong family is not weak, Zongnan and Zongbei are all favorites to win the championship!"

"Look, is the white-clothed girl in the Chen family's crowd Chen Bingbing?"

"It's true, I didn't expect it to be so beautiful after four years, I don't know if my strength has risen!"

......

Just as all the family representatives had arrived, eight figures swept towards the high platform from eight different directions

For a moment, everyone exclaimed

Eight old men appeared on the high platform, and standing in the middle were the great elder of the Yue family who represented Yue Xiangru, Chen Yunhe, the head of the Chen family, Tao Yuzhen, the head of the Tao family, and Zong Taiping, the head of the Zong family.

The other four are the heads or elders of second-rate families, each of whom has unfathomable strength, and they are all above the spirit master level, otherwise they are not qualified to sit side by side with the heads of the four major families.

Originally, the second-rate Li family was demoted to a third-rate family because Cangyuan killed four spirit masters, and no representative appeared on the rostrum.

Chen Yunhe, the head of the Chen family, sat next to Tao Yuzhen and greeted him: "Brother Tao, seeing Xiaowei's momentum, this year's leader is still none other than your Tao family." ”

"Hehe, Brother Chen is too much, your Bingbing's girl has been training well in the past few years, she should be a low-level Xuanshi, right?" Tao Yuzhen also slapped his ass back, stroked his long beard and said.

The Tao family and the Chen family were talking in public, which was to send a message to the outside world that they Tao and the Chen family were ready to stand on the same line and advance and retreat together.

Hearing their conversation, Zong Taiping, the head of the Zong family, also turned his eyes and said to the elder of the Yue family next to him: "Brother Yue, I heard that your grandson Yue Li is a good child, I have a granddaughter who has reached the age of marriage, why don't we get married?"

This Zong Taiping is really not amazing, and he is endless!

Tao Yuzhen and Chen Yunhe were almost frightened when they heard this, and the representatives of the second-rate families on the side were also shocked.

Could it be that the Zong family and the Yue family should advance and retreat together?

I saw that the Great Elder also twisted his beard and smiled, "Okay, I'll make the decision for Yueli's child, and after the competition, I'll find a matchmaker to go to the Zong family for a dowry." ”

Hearing their conversation, Chen Yunhe on the side was so angry, he asked his dead grandson Chen Hu to go to the Zong family to propose marriage but was rejected by the Zong family, it turned out that the Zong family fell in love with the Yue family, which obviously did not take the Chen family seriously. "Okay, your sect is peaceful, and when the Yue family is destroyed, your sect family doesn't need to continue to be peaceful. Chen Yunhe cursed in his heart.

At that moment, two more figures swept up from below.

"It's okay, I shouldn't be late!" a cheerful voice came out of one person's mouth.

For a moment, the four clans on the high platform and the other four people stood up together to greet the comer.

The people who came were two old men, one was wearing a dark gray robe, not tall, with a slightly fat body, and a kind smile on his face, giving people a sense of approachability, he was talking just now, while the other old man in a black robe had an indifferent face, extremely tall and thin, and stood out a little bit among the crowd.

"Master Ling, Master Yuan. The people of several major families shouted in unison.

The two people who can greet these four patriarchs together are probably only Ling Taihua, the refining master among the three monsters in Linglan City, and the hidden alchemy master Huojun.

After Ling Taihua and the fire army returned the salute to everyone, Ling Taihua walked directly to the Great Elder and arched his hand: "Brother Far East, I don't know which little Engong Cangyuan is good, but I came to cheer him on!"

Ling Taihua said this a little loudly, and everyone on the high platform could hear it clearly.

Everyone was terrified in their hearts, little Engong?

As the only third-grade refining master in Linglan City, Ling Taihua's identity can be on an equal footing with the heads of the four major families, and he is one of the two people that the four major families try to win over by all means, but unfortunately, Ling Taihua does not have too much favor for any of them, and they all treat them equally and remain neutral.

And now he is courting the Yue family in front of the public in the hall, which makes everyone unsurprised.

If Ling Taihua is really very friendly with the Yue family, then the prestige of the Yue family will definitely go to new heights in the future, and there will be more and more martial artists who defect to the Yue family, and the order of their four major families may also be changed and rewritten at that time, even the Chen Tao family will not dare to think about it.

You must know that Ling Taihua still has a lot of followers behind him, and he has a huge appeal.

For a while, everyone's minds kept thinking about their own ghosts, and some representatives of the middle and small families were thinking about how to have some relationship with the Yue family.

The Great Elder was blinded by Ling Taihua, when did Cangyuan become Ling Taihua's benefactor?

However, the Great Elder didn't think much about it, and immediately responded with a smile: "It is the honor of the Yue family that Master Ling can come to the Yue family to sit as a guest, and he will definitely entertain Master Ling with the best wine and food." ”

"It's so good, I didn't drink well with Xiao Engong last time, this time I must get drunk before resting" Speaking ......of this, he turned his old eyes to Zong Taiping again, and said to him with a smile: "Remember to call your precious granddaughter that day." ”

"Huh?" Zong Taiping's heart was shocked, and he immediately asked softly, "Master Ling also wants to drink with that girl from Xue Man?"

"Hehe, speaking of which, I would like to thank your Xueman girl, if she hadn't begged Xiao Engong to save my son, I would have sent the white-haired man to the black-haired man. Ling Li laughed

Ling ...... Master Ling, are you saying that Xue Man's girl is very familiar with Cangyuan?" Zong Taiping asked rhetorically, a little confused

"Why, is the sect brother against their relationship?" Ling Taihua said unhappily.

"No...... Of course not, it's children's freedom. Zong Taiping hurriedly waved his hand in response, but there was a storm in his heart.

At the same time, the great elder of the Yue family was also extremely excited in his heart, it seemed that this uncle did have extraordinary abilities, and the rise of the Yue family was not far away.

With the family representatives all arriving, the official competition is about to begin.

First, the Great Elder of the Yue Family spoke on behalf of the organizer, and then the heads of the other three major families spoke, and then each family presented the notes and rewards, which were handed over to Ling Taihua and the Fire Army for safekeeping, and after the final ranking came out, they would distribute the notes and rewards, which was somewhat of a referee nature of off-site supervision.

Everything is ready, and the elite of the young family of the competition are ready to go to the lottery to decide the ring and the opponent.

Cangyuan went to the nearest lottery box with Yue Feng, the leader of the Yue family, and others.

At this moment, an indifferent voice came from the side, "Yuefeng, it's been a long time. ”

It was a young man with a gloomy face, who was not handsome, but gave him a sense of calm maturity, but his eyes like poisonous snakes made people very uncomfortable.

He is Tao Wei, the younger brother of Tao Ze of the Tao family, and he is the leader of the new generation of the Tao family, and he was a high-level mystic at the age of nineteen four years ago, which can be described as highly talented. Now that he is just twenty-three years old, I am afraid that he has broken through to a low-level mystic.

On the side of the Yue family, a young man in a vegetable military uniform shook his hair and looked at Tao Wei and said, "Tao Wei, I didn't expect you to also advance, but this is fun, I hope you will have good luck this time!"

Tao Wei smiled proudly: "Yuefeng, you are still like that, but I was about to give you what you said, don't forget that you were my subordinate four years ago, and this year ...... It won't be an exception. ”

Yue Feng seemed to be said to have hit the sore spot, clenched his fists to the ground, squinted his eyes and said, "You wait and see, I will repay the shame of four years ago." ”

Four years ago, Tao Wei and Yue Feng were both in the top five selections, and the two fought for the fourth ranking, because the two were equally strong, that fight was very fierce, but unfortunately Yue Feng was restrained by Tao Wei's fire attribute by metal, and finally lost to him by one move. In the past four years, Yue Feng has been thinking about revenge for the defeat of the year.

"Don't worry, I will wait for you in the ring, I hope you don't lose too badly!" Tao Wei said very proudly, and then he looked at Cangyuan on the side and said quietly: "You are Cangyuan?"
