"Seventeen, back to the sword seal!" Standing at the door, Buchen looked at Seventeen who was following him, and said indifferently.

Seventeen looked very reluctant, but Buchen obviously didn't have any room for negotiation, and Seventeen looked at Buchen's slightly stern gaze, so he had to reluctantly burrow back into the sword seal.

Shang Hao stood aside, originally wanting to persuade him, but in the end he didn't speak, and he couldn't say much about Buchen and Seventeen.

After a day of rest, the two also ushered in the official start of the martial arts exchange meeting, when Shang Hao and Buchen just came out, Seventeen came out of the sword seal and wanted to follow Buchen, but Buchen resolutely disagreed.

In fact, Buchen also has his own concerns, on the one hand, Seventeen's murderous aura is too heavy, Buchen doesn't like this feeling very much, on the other hand, the strong people gathered at the exchange meeting, it is inevitable that people will not be misunderstood, and Seventeen's murderous aura is easy to misunderstand.

"Actually, Seventeen is fine, the main fault of those things before is not it, if there is a chance, let it come out more, you see that the Nymph is not very willing to stay in the contract space. Shang Hao couldn't help but persuade on the side.

"Huh~" Nymph sat on Shang Hao's shoulder and nodded, agreeing with Shang Hao's statement.

"I will, wait until I get in touch with it for a while" Bu Chen's words, Shang Hao can also understand, the current Bu Chen and Seventeen, in fact, are not as simple as when he and Ning Fu first came into contact.

Shang Hao and Nymph established an elven blood covenant and communicated their hearts, but between Buchen and Seventeen, there was no understanding, and Buchen was not completely willing to leave Seventeen, but more of a promise to the man.

However, there is no need for Seventeen at this time, after all, only the ordinary weapons provided by the battle city can be used at the exchange meeting. Pure martial arts exchange is not mixed with any external force, which is an unchanging rule for thousands of years.

At this time, it was also getting dark, the battle city was on the edge of the snowy region, as the sun gradually set, the temperature of the battle city was also dropping, but at this time, the atmosphere of the war city was getting higher and higher, when Shang Hao and Bu Chen came out of the temporary residence, there were also many people who participated in the exchange meeting came out of it and were heading to the marshal's mansion in the war city.

The Marshal's Mansion was built in the center of the city, and at the same time, the fighting arena of the battle city was also there, Shang Hao and Buchen came here yesterday, and then went at this time, naturally it was a light car, when the two arrived at the only entrance outside the wall, the two teams of soldiers were neatly lined up at the entrance, and another squad leader was responsible for checking the invitation.

As when entering the city gate, Shang Hao and Buchen handed over the invitation letters in turn, and after the inspection, the soldier said to the two very politely, "After the two of you enter, please go to the chairman and sit down." ”

The chairman mentioned by the soldier, after arriving in the battle city, Buchen also introduced this rule to Shang Hao in detail. The four academies, the mercenary city, the snow region, the battle city, as well as the two ancient martial arts families, and the invitations held by the three major sects, these twelve forces correspond to the core position of each competition.

For example, this exchange meeting is in the form of a dinner party, and the invitations of these twelve forces correspond to the seat in the center of the dinner. The best position is the highest treatment, but at the same time, the performance of these twelve forces is in everyone's eyes, and they need to show their due strength.

The Hanjian Sect is one of the three major ancient martial arts sects, but due to the death of the old sect master of the Hanshan Sect, the Hanshan Sect did not accept the invitation to attend the exchange meeting this year.

The dinner, held at the door of the Marshal's Palace, the chief faces south, a long table can accommodate about 100 people, there is a same long table in the east and west directions, which are two secondary seats, and then there are many small tables in the north direction, these are for some idle martial arts practitioners or some people who come to observe and learn, of course, even if they observe and study, they also need a little ability to get the invitation.

The tables on all sides enclose a place of about 300 square meters in the middle, and the lighting magic crystals around it illuminate the entire banquet scene as if it were day.

When Shang Hao and Buchen came here, the chairman was already sitting with a lot of people.

As soon as he walked to the chairman's side, a person not far away looked at Buchen and greeted him.

"Bu Chen, didn't your master say that the Han Sword Sect would not participate in this exchange meeting this time?Why are you here?" The person who spoke had a long beard and white hair, and he looked restrained, and Shang Hao did not feel any malice in the breath between his conversations.

"I've seen Uncle Ding, Buchen is not attending on behalf of the Cold Sword Sect this time, but on behalf of the Heavenly Wind Academy!" After Buchen clasped his fists and saluted, he hurriedly replied to the person's question.

The conversation between the two attracted a lot of attention to them, but Shang Hao and Buchen didn't care, and found a position slightly away from the middle to sit down, Buchen began to introduce the identities of these people who had arrived to Shang Hao, there are not many people in the human race who practice ancient martial arts, and everyone usually knows each other, Shang Hao can only be regarded as an example.

"The person who spoke to me just now is Elder Ding Muyang, an elder of the Tiance Martial Mansion, who has a very good relationship with my master and is also very decent, and I was quite taught by him when I was young. Next to him should be a disciple of the Tiance Martial Mansion. When Buchen introduced Ding Muyang, he was very respectful between his words.

"The one on his right is the elder and disciple of Bai Suzong, Bai Suzong concentrates on martial arts cultivation on weekdays, and rarely has contact with the outside world, but they are all good, and they may have a fight when the time comes. Buchen introduced the person next to Shang Hao again.

These two sects, together with the Hanshan Sect where Buchen is located, are the only three remaining sects of the human race, since the rise of magic, the ancient martial arts sect has become weaker and weaker, and for more than 8,000 years, only three sects are still holding on.

Among the eight great families of the human race, there are two ancient martial arts families, the Sally family and the Ling family, the blood demon knife and the flame knife of the Sally family, and the wind and snow sword of the Ling family, are all extremely famous, but few people have been able to exert their power, and it is not only the ancient martial arts that have declined, but also the rules of this heaven and earth, the rise of magic is the final product of the evolution of the laws of heaven and earth, as the ancient martial arts become more and more unsuitable for the rules of this world, one day, it will be completely banned by magic.

Just when Buchen introduced Shang Hao, a group of people came to the chairman again, and this person, Shang Hao and Buchen both knew, was Tabu Sali, who had clashed with the two of them at the city gate before, and the other person was a woman, dressed in white, with a cold face, and the most eye-catching thing was the white hair.

"Tabu, you know, the woman next to her is from the Ling family, Ling Yun, extremely talented, ice magic blends with swordsmanship, I have fought with her, and I have never decided the winner!" Bu Chen's words came out, and Shang Hao couldn't help but look at the woman twice.

He had also experienced Buchen's swordsmanship, and he was a winner or loser with Buchen, which made him want to try it out. And the woman seemed to feel Shang Hao's gaze, she also looked at Shang Hao and Bu Chen, nodded lightly at Bu Chen, and then walked to Bu Chen's side and sat down, Tabu Sully also followed beside her, but when she looked at Bu Chen and Shang Hao, she definitely didn't have a good face.

After the two sat down, they didn't communicate much with Buchen Shang Hao, and Shang Hao continued to look at the other side of the table. Judging from the clothes of the people sitting on the other side, it should be Molord Academy and Grantlin Academy, but the people from Qinglin Academy didn't see it.

The people in Zhancheng usually arrive at the end, and Shang Hao was also quite bored at this time, picking up the fruit from the fruit bowl on the table and throwing it in his mouth, staring into the distance, chewing it over and over again.

Buchen also closed his eyes and breathed, not knowing what he was thinking.

After about half an hour, the people of Qinglin Academy also arrived at the chairman, and sat down next to the Sally family, basically all the tables were filled, and only the middle few seats of the chairman were empty.

Suddenly, the whole venue fell silent, and from the marshal's mansion, a group of five people walked out, walked quickly to the chairman's position in the middle and sat down, and the eyes of the audience were focused on the man in armor at the head.

As the man sat down, the attendants who had been waiting in all directions began to place the food and drinks on the table very quickly and neatly, but no one began to enjoy them, all waiting for a certain signal.
