The place of the meeting this time was decided by the Dongfang family, and it was also the closest to the Dongfang family.

The land of Huibi is a large plain, called "Sunset Plain", and the location is on the easternmost side of the Dongfang family, adjacent to the Dongfang Collar, and not far from the Mo Ye Collar of the Ye family. The biggest feature of this place is that it is said to be the closest place to the sunset - the sun of the Holy Pole Star, which rises in the southwest in the morning and sets in the northeast at night, and the location of the sunset field is just the northeasternmost corner of the entire Holy Pole Star.

On the sunset field, the morning glow is shining, the wind is beautiful, the sparse trees dot the field, and the low grass is swaying in the wind.

Each of the eighteen families took a corner and formed a circle over the whole field, and within the circle there were a hundred and four young men and women.

These one hundred and four people can be said to be the best among the younger generation of the entire Saint Pole Star, each of them is one out of ten million from their respective families, and only three can be produced by one family.

In addition, the heads of the eighteen families gathered in another group to prepare for the abbot's meeting.

Among the eighteen family heads, whether in terms of strength or family power, Dongfang Wentian, the head of the Dongfang family, is the undisputed first. This is the "home field" of the Dongfang family, so it is natural for Dongfang Wentian to preside over the meeting.

Of course, under the surveillance of the other seventeen families, it is also very difficult for Dongfang Wentian to engage in any little trick that violates fairness.

"Heads of families, elders, and young heroes of the major families, I believe that the purpose of your coming here is not for me to say more, it is all for this meeting, and the belonging of the star pool involved in the meeting. As for how the star pool will be distributed in the end, our family masters have already discussed it before, and I, someone in the east, will not repeat it. Next, it will be up to my abbot to draw lots to decide the first round of battles between the major families!"

Dongfang Wentian's voice was clear, and he couldn't see how much strength he used to speak, but his voice was like a bell, spreading throughout the audience.

As he spoke, he pulled out a golden chest, which was made entirely of metal and looked a bit like gold, but it wasn't. Immediately, he took out a few jade plaques from the box and showed them to everyone - each jade plaque was engraved with a surname, which was the surname of the eighteen families.

At this time, the Yangyu girl beside Ren Xiaoyao spoke: "This golden box is made of the spirit treasure material Dead Gold, and the characteristics of Dead Gold are that it can isolate all star power and soul power detection, so outsiders can't feel the situation inside the box." The material of those jade plaques is cold fat jade, which is naturally formed, and can only be carved on it once, and if it is carved twice, its jade will be broken. ”

Ren Xiaoyao listened to it and knew in his heart: these two materials are used as tools for drawing lots in order to show fairness. No one can get a glimpse of the situation in the box in advance, and the cold fat jade is used as a sign, and it is impossible to change the handwriting on the sign in the middle of the way.

In this way, the heads and elders of the major families nodded their heads one after another, approving the approach of the Dongfang family.

Seeing that everyone nodded, Dongfang Wentian smiled slightly and said, "Everyone has also seen that my Dongfang family has always paid attention to fairness, and will never let any family suffer unfair treatment." Even if it is to our own Oriental family, there is absolutely no favoritism. ”

As he spoke, he put all those cold fat jade cards into the death gold chest.

There was a shaking, and everyone could hear the jade cards in the box rattling, and they were all disrupted.

"Now, I'll start the lottery, so let's wait and see. ”

As he spoke, Dongfang Wentian put his hand into the box and began to draw lots. The heads of the other major families, the elders, and the young talents also watched Dongfang Wentian's every move with expectant eyes.

"The first sign will play against the eighteenth sign, and the first sign is the Ye family!"

Hearing this, Ye Qishan and the other Ye family members were shocked, but they were not too surprised. The first one to be drawn does not mean anything, it depends on who is the last to be drawn, and you will know the opponent.

"The second pick will play against the seventeenth sign, and the second sign is - the Oriental Family!"

"The third pick will play against the sixteenth pick, and the third pick is - Aojia!"

......

Dongfang Wentian extracted them one by one, and everyone watched and listened attentively, but they didn't see what Dongfang Wentian was doing. For those present, the lowest strength has already reached above the psychic realm and opened the soul power, so it is not a matter of effort to remember which family each sign corresponds to.

After a while, the draw was in the final stage, and the battle of most families was already clear. Some families are more lucky, and naturally some families are less lucky, and everyone talks about it without too many doubts.

"Here is the sixteenth sign - the Shen family!"

"The seventeenth sign - the Mo family. ”

"The Eighteenth Sign-Huyan Family!"

......

After the last three signs were announced, the relatively calm atmosphere in the stadium was ignited all of a sudden. Especially the Ye family, Huyan family and other families involved, it is even more boiling.

"The eighteenth sign is the Huyan family, doesn't this mean that our Ye family will fight against them in the first round......? This is definitely boring!" the Ye Family Elder shouted.

Although Ye Qishan was calm, his face was also pale at the moment, and he was obviously extremely angry.

Everyone knows that their Ye family and the Huyan family have been friends for generations, and they are the only two families among the eighteen families who are clearly against the Dongfang family! In this matchup, the first round happened to be that these two families pinched each other, which was really a bit strange.

In addition to the Ye family, other families were also shouting.

The people of the Shen family and the Ao family all raised their voices, obviously extremely dissatisfied.

The head of the Shen family flew out, came directly to Dongfang Wentian, pointed his nose and scolded: "Dongfang old horseman, you are deliberately cheating! My Shen family and the Ao family are the second and fourth among the eighteen families, and they are not dealing with your Dongfang family, you deliberately let our two families collide, do you want to take advantage of the fisherman?"

Behind him, all the elders of the Shen family were blushing and their necks were thick.

In comparison, the Ao family was slightly better, and all the elders expressed their dissatisfaction, but Ao Lingyun, the head of the Ao family, sat firmly like a mountain and did not have any fluctuations. It seems that he had expected the outcome in front of him, or he was proud of himself and didn't care about it.

Looking at the furious head of the Shen family, Dongfang Wentian sneered: "Master Shen, this is a lottery, and the results are all accidental, it's just your bad luck." ”

"Hmph, you said we were unlucky, but you garbage Dongfang family is also too lucky, right? The Mo family is recognized as the last of the eighteen families, and it just so happens that your opponent is them! Do you say this is an accident, deceiving children?"

Dongfang Wentian didn't answer, just sneered.

As the head of the Shen family said, everyone noticed the strangeness in this. Each of these last three sets is a bit too coincidental.

The first is the Ye family to the Huyan family.

These two are middle-class families, and their strength is comparable, and there is nothing to fight against. However, all the major families know that the Ye family and the Huyan family are clearly hostile to the Dongfang family, and the first round of pinching between the two families is obviously the result that the Dongfang family wants to see the most.

Secondly, the Ao family is against the Shen family.

These two are also of equal strength, one is second and the other is fourth. It can be said that among the nine groups of matches in the first round, this group will be the most intense and exciting! Similar to the Ye family and the Huyan family, the Ao family and the Shen family are also not on good terms with the Dongfang family, and this kind of confrontation is quite suspicious.

Finally, there is the Dongfang family against the Mo family.

If the first two groups of opponents are evenly matched and need to be smashed, then this group of opponents is definitely the most suspenseful. The Dongfang family is recognized as the "first in the world", while the Mo family is the last of the eighteen families. A dragon head, a chicken tail, such a duel can see the result at a glance.

If only one of these three sets of matches appears, there is still the possibility of a coincidence. But it would be too impossible for all of them to appear at once, and all of them would be beneficial to the Dongfang family.

The Ye family, the Shen family, the Ao family, the Huyan family, and the Mo family, the five major families that were implicated, were in a commotion and wanted to ask for an explanation. Seeing this chaotic scene, the families who had no opinions before, but were unlucky in the lottery, also took the opportunity to make trouble and wanted to redraw the lot.

However, the Dongfang family had a tough attitude and ignored it at all.

"The draw has been made, and you have no doubts before and during the draw. As you can see, I didn't use any secret means, and the whole lottery process was absolutely fair! This kind of random lottery, some people are lucky and some people are unlucky, there is no need to argue. ”

Dongfang Wentian said to himself, his voice was loud, almost overpowering everyone's noise.

Then, he directly announced: "If you are still dissatisfied, you can withdraw from the competition and give up the competition for the star pool! Next, the competition will officially begin, please list the two sides of the first group of matches!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene was much quieter. Most families were frightened by the phrase "quitting will be better".

Participation will be better than at least a piece of the pie in the end, regardless of the outcome, but if you quit, everything will be in vain.

Although the Ye family and the Huyan family were angry, they no longer blindly vented their anger at this moment, but gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Ye Qishan looked at the head of the Huyan family and asked, "Brother Huyan, what should we do?"

The head of the Huyan family was silent for a moment and said, "Accept it." In fact, if you think about it, this is not necessarily a bad thing. ”

"Brother Huyan, where did you start with this?" Ye Qishan never expected that Huyan's family would say this, and his face was suddenly full of doubts.

"Brother Ye, think about it, with the strength of my Huyan family and your Ye family, they are already at a medium level, and they are not sure that they will enter the second round. If we are really unlucky, maybe we will all meet strong opponents in the first round, and we will both be eliminated! But now that you and I are playing against each other, at least we can ensure that one of them enters the second round. You and I have been friends for generations, and whoever enters the second round is the same. ”

Hearing this, Ye Qishan couldn't help but be stunned. Although the argument said by the head of the Huyan family is a little pessimistic, it is indeed true!

Ren Xiaoyao was also listening to the conversation between the two family heads, and couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up to the Huyan family head. At the same time, his impression of these two families has also improved - in the face of conflicts of interest, they can still be synchronized and close to each other, at least these two families value affection.

Similar to the Ye family and the Huyan family, several other families also discussed it, and finally had to calm down their anger.

The lottery group was passive, so be it, at least in the later battles, you still have to rely on strength to speak, and the Dongfang family can't fake it!

As a result, a farce came to an end, and all the young heroes entered the field, in groups of three or three, and opened the formation.
