Chapter XXXV. The Assembly Begins

The days passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was August 13, and from this day on, the heads of the various sects in the rivers and lakes began to enter Luoyang one after another.

At the gate of Luoyang City, the beggar gang disciples have been arranged to welcome the guests who come to participate in the martial arts conference.

The person in charge of external affairs is Elder Chen of the Eagle Hall, and the welcome of this martial arts conference is also the main Elder Chen.

He sent all the nimble, cautious and alert disciples of the Eagle Hall to the city gate to welcome the guests who had been arranged.

The disciples at the gate of the city are in groups of twos and twos, one is responsible for greeting and recognizing guests, and the other is responsible for arranging for guests to enter the city and stay in the city.

When the first head arrived, the entire department was instantly activated, cheered up and began to operate.

In the blink of an eye, it was another day, August 14, Elder Chen was also guarding the city gate, and he saw a group of Shaolin disciples coming from a distance, with a ring scar on their heads, and wearing robes.

Elder Chen didn't dare to slack off, and stepped forward to greet him, he saw that it was Xuan Ku who took the lead, and said even more respectfully, Chen Guyan, the master of the Eagle Hall, welcomed Master Xuan Ku to come, and he had worked hard all the way.

Xuan Ku shouted the Buddha's name, Amitabha, I have seen the master of Chen Hall, and the abbot still needs to preside over the overall situation in Shaolin, so he sent me to Luoyang with Shaolin disciples to participate in the martial arts conference and see the heroes of the world.

Elder Chen also smiled and said, since the master is here, don't stand here, we have already arranged the first-class guest room, now I will let the disciple take you to rest and wash the dust along the way.

Xuan Ku agreed and did not refute, after all, the visitor is a guest, and the guest is at the mercy of the host.

Elder Chen sent away the Shaolin faction, and then greeted the word Hui Sword Sect, Shennong Gang, Wuliang Sword Sect, Qingcheng Faction, Barberry Sect, Taiyi Faction, Hubei Ruan Family, Yunzhou Qinjiazhai, Jiangnan Shijia, etc., hundreds of Jianghu sects, large and small, directly let Luoyang's inns and restaurants be full, and there were no more empty rooms.

At the end of Elder Chen's day's reception, he immediately went to meet Li Dian.

Li Dian listened to Elder Chen's report, and probably had a preliminary impression in his heart, and at this time, the information of the Shadow Hall was like a snowflake, constantly being submitted upwards, which included the composition of the forces of the various major sects in the rivers and lakes, their mutual relations, personal grievances, and so on.

These pieces of information were all submitted by the disciples of the Shadow Hall, after hundreds of people worked at the same time, analyzed, and deleted, but the amount was also very large, that is, Li Dian's divine sense was relatively strong, and his brain was running relatively fast, so that he could peel off the cocoon in this information and form a map of the distribution of forces in the rivers and lakes.

Elder Chen's report also verified the accuracy of the information one by one.

Li Dian saw that Elder Chen's report was finished, and said with a smile, Elder Chen, tomorrow will be the last day of busy work, and it will be over, but before that, you must be cautious, cautious, no matter how cautious you are, you can't get out of the pool at all, let the disciples work harder, the joint battle hall, the law enforcement hall, day and night patrols, at such times, once someone makes trouble, they will be severely punished.

Elder Chen said that he understood, so he retired and continued to monitor and patrol.

Li Dian looked at Elder Chen's departing figure, fell into deep thought, and after a while, continued to devote himself to the analysis of intelligence.

That night, the people went home early and closed their doors. There was no one on the street, but at this moment, from the window on the second floor of an inn, a figure flew out, wearing night clothes, black cloth masking, the figure was flexible, and it was a light achievement, a few jumps, it was ten miles away, just jumped to a rich merchant's mansion, and planned to explore the treasure house at night, when the disciples of the war hall who rushed to hear the news, surrounded and intercepted, captured in one fell swoop, tore off the black cloth, and once checked, it was determined that it was a thief on the rivers and lakes in recent years.

This thief originally planned to take advantage of the grand event of the martial arts conference to fish in troubled waters, and if he did a few more big votes, he would completely stop and be a chivalrous warrior admired by everyone, but as a result, he was captured.

In fact, this night, it was not just this one thief who was caught by mistake, one after another, about a dozen people who were fishing in troubled waters, planning to steal, stealing incense, making trouble, and so on.

A noisy night passed, and on this day, it was August 15, Li Dian got up early, washed up, and changed into a mighty robe, with a temperament that was not angry and self-assured, which made people dare not look at each other.

The big palms in Luoyang City

The door, also at different times, arrived at the helmsman of the beggar gang one after another, preparing to hold the venue of the martial arts conference, because the conference has not officially started, and the people on the field are talking in twos and threes.

When the hour came, basically all the heads of the house had already arrived at the venue and waited.

At the moment, Li Dian came out from the back of the venue, saw the noisy venue, used the lion's roar technique, coughed lightly, and the venue was quiet in an instant, and looked at Li Dian in unison.

Li Dian walked to the middle of the venue, clasped his fists with both hands, and saluted around, everyone came from afar, and the greeting was not good, and I also asked Haihan, we will officially start later, and do not ask everyone to wait.

After speaking, he turned around and reached the throne at the head of the venue, looking down at everything in the venue.

Elder Chen next to him saw that everything was ready, and said with a long roar, the first martial arts conference is now officially started, the first item, please invite the martial arts alliance leader to speak for all of us.

Li Dian listened to the process of the martial arts conference designed by himself, and he couldn't bear to look at it directly, but he couldn't see anything on his face.

He stood up, looked around the venue, and said lightly, everyone, this is the first martial arts alliance, but it will never be the last, we martial arts people, what is the impression of the people in the outside world, yes, it is a reckless man, I only know that there are fights and brawls every day, and some of them are heroes, but are we really like this, maybe it is, maybe not, but from today on, it will definitely not, because the purpose of the establishment of the martial arts alliance is to be a great man, for the country and the people, as long as you do these eight words, then wherever you go in the future, you will not be thrown away, you will only respect you, worship you, some people think, I just live myself, I don't need these, yes, you don't need it, but you don't need to think about your parents, wives and children, do you still want your loved ones to be despised with you in the future, so, from today on, the martial arts alliance, let us all get together, for our parents, our wives and children, and even more thousands of people, work together, work together, and create a better tomorrow!

After Li Dian finished speaking, the young disciples below applauded desperately to express their feelings.

Li Dian returned to his seat and sat down, and Elder Chen continued to announce, the following is the second item of the conference, please all stand up and read the oath of the martial arts conference together.

As soon as Elder Chen finished speaking, everyone in the venue stood up and looked at it a little confused.
