In the summer of the 39th year of Dingrui, Tunan, June 7, northeast of Luojing, weeping poplar valley.

This is the location of the Tunanguo Clan Courtyard, which is inaccessible on weekdays, and only the upper echelons of the Clan Courtyard are allowed to move around, but now it is already overcrowded.

Tiangong seems to be very face-saving, and the rain that has been raining for several days has finally stopped for a moment, although there are still slight raindrops, but the sunlight faintly shining through the clouds still makes people feel a little comfortable.

The air was still surprisingly hot, and in a short time the clothes of those present were soaked, but not because of the rain.

Of course, not everyone suffers from such hot and humid weather, and there are also a small number of eccentrics who go off the beaten path and wear thick clothes, which makes the people around them want to stay away.

The clan assembly, which attracted the attention of all the clans in the entire Tunan country, was grandly opened under the announcement of Liu Changxi, the supervisor of the clan court and the crown prince of the dynasty.

This clan conference coincides with the 70-year Dongzhou Clan Festival, which has more significance. Clan disciples who enter the top 10 of the Tunan Fenghua List will automatically be eligible to represent the Tunan Kingdom in the Clan Grand Ceremony that begins on June 10.

And if you can enter the top ten of the Dongzhou Fenghua List in the clan ceremony, you can get the qualification to enter the Taibai Hall of Meditation Hall to observe the three Taibai true meanings. Feel the unparalleled ascending fairyland, the supreme sincerity left by the Taibai Sword Immortal.

It is undoubtedly a reward that fascinates all martial arts practitioners in the entire Dongzhou.

And for Tu Nanguo, the lineup of this clan conference is also unprecedentedly strong.

According to the incomplete statistics of the non-governmental organization, there were more than 3,000 disciples in the entire Tunan Kingdom of this clan conference, among which the highest cultivation was Ding Ruoyan of the Thunder Sword Sect and Qiu Dusk of the Taiji Sword Sect, both of whom had reached the peak of the Qi Void Realm, and they were not far from breaking through the sky, setting the highest record of the clan conference in previous dynasties.

On the other hand, because of the reform of Liu Changxi, the supervisor of the clan court in recent years, this clan conference has undergone great changes from the selection system to the final reward.

In front of the dense crowd of clan children was the atmospheric and spacious martial arts arena that had just been built not long ago. At this moment, the crown prince Liu Changxi and a group of clan court stewards were standing on the tower next to the ring, and they were reading out the relevant information of the competition to the children of the various clans in the audience who came to participate in the competition through the sound of true qi.

There are three main changes.

One of them is the establishment of an additional preliminary round system.

In the past, most of the clan conferences were directly entered into the ring competition, but this year, because it coincided with the clan festival, the number of participants was fully doubled compared with previous years, and at the suggestion of the former director Chen Shaojie, the clan court decided to pass a one-day preliminary round for simple screening, leaving only about one-third of the contestants to enter the ring competition.

The second is the restriction on immortal magic weapons.

In the past, the confrontation between clans was allowed to use unique magic weapons, such as the Thunder Bead of the Thunder Sword Sect and the two ritual talismans of the Taiji Sword Sect. Later, it was found that although this kind of magic weapon was extremely powerful, it was not easy for young disciples to control, and after the research of the entire clan academy, it was decided that this kind of powerful immortal weapon should not appear in the competition of young disciples.

The third is the prohibition of all kinds of evil magic and witchcraft.

In the past two clan conferences, there has been a phenomenon of using the evil art of the Western Regions to forcibly improve their own strength, or to make poison attack others, which obviously violates the principle of martial arts fairness, and it is also expressly forbidden in this clan conference.

"I believe that all of you who came here today are the elites of the elite of my southern country. It is because of the cultivation of you by the country and the clan that you have been able to have today's achievements and cultivation, and I hope you can always remember that strength means responsibility, and if you want to take it, you must bear it first. Although the Tu Nan Kingdom is not like Wenjing, it is a country that proves the Tao with martial arts, but the strength of the clan is an important support for the survival of a country. When you step into the clan assembly today, you represent yourself, you are the clan, and when you step into the rivers and lakes in the future and travel the world, don't forget that you are from Tunan. ”

sp; Liu Changxi said word by word, his tone was not intense, but there was an uplifting power, which made many of the children of small and medium-sized clans in the audience can't help but boil their blood.

And although the disciples of some clans disdain it in their hearts, they will not show it on their faces casually.

Su Mu looked at Liu Changxi in the ring, and couldn't help but have a wonderful feeling in his heart. The content of Liu Changxi's long conversation with him will often appear in Su Mu's mind to this day.

This is a truly responsible and ambitious Ming Jun, and I really hope that Tu Nanguo can become more and more prosperous under his leadership.

In addition, Su Mu also noticed that among the people who came to watch the game today, except for the crown prince Liu Changxi, there were no more prominent people, especially the older generation of the Ten Masters Clan, who didn't seem to be present. Thinking about it, I may also think that with the strength of my clan, it is impossible to pass the preliminary round, but fortunately, it is good to wait until the final ring competition to watch the battle.

In addition to Wang Zhiyan, the palace guard who has been following Liu Changxi, there is only a group of clan court stewards dressed in black. These stewards looked indifferent throughout the whole process, and they were not touched by what Liu Changxi said, as if they were only here to complete the task.

"Such a master is so unpopular in the clan court? It seems that several years have passed, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still has not been able to completely control the clan court. Su Mu couldn't help but think.

"Please note that the contents of the preliminary round will be announced at the west gate of Weeping Poplar Valley in a few moments, please go and gather there now!" shouted a clan councilor as he stepped into the ring.

According to the requirements of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Su Mu did not dress up too conspicuously, and still mixed in with the crowd of small and medium-sized clans.

The content of the preliminary round Su Mu already knew that the content itself was not difficult, it was just to screen the contestants who were not capable enough, but if he exposed his strength too early, he was afraid that it would attract the siege of the big clans.

Liu Changxi also specially emphasized this point to Su Mu this morning, no matter what, don't attract attention in the preliminary round, just complete the task quickly, and don't clash with the big clan too early.

Su Mu only put on the golden silkworm armor given by Liu Changxi on the inner lining, but he did not wear the guard uniform specially designed by the palace, but still wore the Taoist uniform of the Hanshan Sword Sect that had been pressed at the bottom of the baggage.

For Su Mu, wearing the clothes of the Cold Mountain Sword Sect made him feel more at ease. He was born and raised here, and no matter where he goes in the future, nothing will change.

And what awaits me this time is a huge challenge, the three-year covenant, the prince's task, the aunt's goal, and many uncertain factors are intertwined, and it is not destined to be a simple end of the competition.

"Brother Mu!"

"Senior brother!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and Su Mu looked up and saw that it was Otoyu and Li Xihan.

Su Mu couldn't help laughing, almost forgetting that he was not alone, and he still had his senior brother and sister by his side.

"Brother Mu, where have you been these days? I was almost bored to death at the Four Seas Inn, and I couldn't find you, and the people at the inn also said that you had something to do. Otoyu's expression was very unhappy, obviously very dissatisfied with Su Mu's unprovoked disappearance in the past few days.

"This... It's a long story, you can ask the fourth senior brother, he knows better. It was a little difficult to explain, so Su Mu hurriedly threw the question to Li Xihan.

"Fourth Senior Brother, what the hell is going on?" Otoyu turned his head and asked, "I saw that you sent a message to Hanshan saying that you and the Third Senior Brother had joined His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so I thought you wouldn't participate in this competition." ”

"Ah, well, this is true at first, but then I decided to participate as a disciple of Hanshan, after all, this is the experience of this time in life. Li Xihan replied, "As for Su Mu, he has been recruited by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a disciple, and in addition to the Hanshan Sword Sect, he also has to represent His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in this clan conference." ”

"On behalf of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Yin Yu was a little surprised, Wang Shi hadn't mentioned this matter to her at all, she hadn't seen her for a few days, why did so many things happen?
