Chapter 1352 – Sacrificial Flag
The Jizhou, after a long delay, suddenly announced that it would be called to order. For those who could not reach the upper echelons, all of them were surprised. However, it still opened. This was the biggest gathering of the Jizhou’s martial arts world, and every time the Martial Arts Conference opened, it would cause a commotion.
This was no longer a chance for the outstanding disciples of the big sects to show their faces; it was an opportunity for those rogue cultivators. They would do everything they could to find an opportunity to approach the major powers and display their talent, hoping to gain the approval of the major powers.
From An Zheng’s point of view, the Martial Arts Conference’s gathering point of view was just a sentence from him. From the perspective of the rogue cultivators, An Zheng was high up in the sky, the Martial Arts Conference was solemn and sacred.
How would they know that every single Martial Arts Conference was in fact shrouded in darkness. How could they know that these so-called big shots were not truly fair? An Zheng’s position was already high enough, so what he saw were things that ordinary martial artists would not be able to see. Even the disciples of the great sects and powers were still looking at the Martial Arts Conference with reverence.
Knowing that the Martial Arts Conference was about to start today, the martial artists who were waiting outside the Yancheng flocked over. Some of them had come a few months ago, many of them destitute, just waiting for their chance to come.
Those who were anxious to make a stand, they would spare no cost to let this Jianghu know their name. These days, there were a lot of challengers outside the encampment of every major power. These challengers did not hesitate to spend a large sum of money to buy the names of the young disciples from the various forces that were supposed to participate in the Martial Arts Conference.
In their eyes, this was an opportunity for them to make a name for themselves. If they really defeated the disciples that were participating in the Martial Arts Conference, then they would be highly regarded by the upper echelons of the big sects. Many people thought this way, to the point that every day, at the gates of the various powerhouses outside the Yancheng, many people died, and many more were injured.
Eighteen cannon shots rang out from the Yancheng, and the eighteen gigantic fireworks in the sky announced that the Martial Arts Conference was about to begin. The disciples of the various sects all changed into new clothes, and lined up neatly, and headed towards the Martial Arts Conference.
The doors to the various encampments were opened, and groups of cultivators advanced towards the holy land in their hearts. These young disciples were also very excited. They wanted to show off their skills, and also wanted to see the grace of those favored by the heavens on the contest ground.
“Look over there, that’s the Red Cloud Valley’s team!”
“How impressive, look at those people, they are all so arrogant.”
“They are people from big sects. We, the impoverished martial artists, cannot compare with them.”
“Look over there, there are all sword artists wearing green robes. It really makes people feel that it’s amazing. Even though I’m not walking with them, I feel a bit high-spirited. That should be the people from the Swordlock Pavilion, they are all azure-clothed swordsmen. ”
“Over there, those who are rushing over like the waves of the ocean. They should be the subordinates of Dongting Jun. They were all wearing blue robes, and it was said that Mo Yangjun’s men were all battle-hardened veterans. Amongst the many great powers in Jizhou, Mo Yangjun Li Moyang’s territory is the largest, and has been continuously eroding outwards for the past few years. ”
“Why haven’t we seen anyone from the Heavenly Awakening Sect?”
“That’s right, as your master, why is it that you haven’t seen Heavenly Awakening Sect?”
“Speaking of Heavenly Awakening Sect, do you know where this Heavenly Awakening Sect came from? How long had it been since he killed the original Bai Shengjun Ning Xiaolou and the Nine Saints? Legend has it that the Heavenly Awakening Sect Sect Master called An Zheng even dared to challenge the Immortal Palace. There are rumors saying that he was the one who killed the once extremely mysterious oracle of the Divine Court. ”
“Absolutely impossible. How could the people from the Immortal Palace allow the person who killed the oracle master to live?”
“He’s coming, he’s coming, that should be the people from the Heavenly Awakening Sect over there.”
On the main street, a neat line of people had arrived. The disciples were all wearing long black robes. As the master of the Yancheng, the disciples of the Heavenly Awakening Sect were even more proud. Others would think that their pride came from the fact that they were the host sects of the Martial Arts Conference. But in reality, the pride of the Heavenly Awakening Sect disciples came from their Sect Master An Zheng’s invincibility. And what An Zheng gave them, others could not give … Faith.
No one from any sect could compare to the people from the Heavenly Awakening Sect. Every disciple of the Heavenly Awakening Sect s firmly believed that they could change the Jizhou, the world, and even this era. They were all people that An Zheng had taught them, and each of them had an irreplaceable trust in the Heavenly Awakening Sect.
“I feel that this Martial Arts Conference will not be so smooth sailing today.”
An old man witead full of white hair was sitting there, squinting his eyes as he watched the procession majestically walk past him. The young martial artist beside him could not help but ask, “Elder, why do you say that?”
“Killing intent …” Young man, you’ve just entered the martial arts world, right? Such a strong killing intent, you can’t even feel it? ”
At the Martial Arts Conference’s venue.
The black-robed Law Enforcement Unit, composed of the most elite disciples of Heavenly Awakening Sect, was responsible for maintaining order. All of the disciples of the Law Enforcement Unit wore black armors made by the forgers who were guiding the attack and defense of the ship. Even the direct disciples of ordinary sects would not necessarily be able to wear such armor. Heavenly Awakening Sect was rich, and rich too.
In the army of the Bai Shengjun, only officers could wear this kind of armor, and it might not even be a complete set. However, as the one thousand eight hundred disciples of the Black Robe Enforcer Group of the Heavenly Awakening Sect, everyone wore it. The defensive power of this armor was so great that it made those rogue cultivators on the streets covet it.
According to the area divided by the black-cloaked Law Enforcement Squadron, the various sects, academies, and martial academies would enter them according to their level of strength. Martial Arts Conference did not hold such a grand gathering every year. It was not as simple as just holding a test for the most outstanding young disciples.
Everything in Martial Arts Conference was organized according to the rules of the previous years. The first three days were not important scenes at all. In order to give everyone a chance, even if it was jusiny bit of hope, the understanding Martial Arts Conference would give those rogue cultivators who had come to participate in the convention a chance to show off in the first three days. The Martial Arts Conference was divided into seventy-two areas, giving the rogue cultivators from all over the Jizhou the chance.
These three days were also a good opportunity for the monarchs of the various sects and academies to choose their disciples.
After three days, the competition between the disciples of various forces would begin. The first one to start was the three-day Rookie Competition. Then came the three days of the Hegemony.
Martial Arts Conference held the competition for fifteen days, and on the tenth day, it was a competition between ten outstanding disciples selected from the Hegemony Competition. This competition lasted for two days, and the contestants were ranked in the top three. The next three days were actually the real highlight of Martial Arts Conference. These three days were reputed to be three days of chaotic battles … During these three days, people of various powers could challenge anyone within the Martial Arts Conference. The challenger could reject, but normally, they would not.
Usually, the people who would take action in the next three days were the true experts of the major forces. These three days, were the days when the martial forces in Jizhou fight for dignity.
An Zheng sat on the main platform, which was a sixty-six meters tall stone platform constructed by the Heavenly Awakening Sect, with a length of three hundred meters and a width of two hundred meters. Those who were able to ascend to the stage to spectate were all the equivalent characters in the martial arts world of Jizhou.
“For those rogue cultivators in the martial arts world, this is an opportunity that cannot be missed.”
Gu Chaotong stood behind An Zheng and said in a low voice, “But how would they know that perhaps the sect they had already chosen in their hearts, the Martial Arts Conference, would no longer exist after.”
When he had just arrived at this era, his goal was to become a disciple that had the qualifications to participate in the Martial Arts Conference. Only then would he have the chance to save Qu Liuxi and Gu Qianye. But at this very moment, he had become the person who sat on the stage and presided over the Martial Arts Conference. The martial artists standing below all looked at him with reverence. How many people were thinking, that I must display the best of my abilities in front of the Master An, and hopefully get his attention?
Although the Heavenly Awakening Sect had just risen up in the Jizhou, it had become the holy land in the hearts of many young martial artists.
“Let’s begin.”
An Zheng gave the order, and Gu Chaotong immediately instructed his subordinates to begin.
After the thirty-six cannon shots, the Martial Arts Conference’s flag slowly rose along the flagpole.
An Zheng walked to the edge of the stage and stood there, he stretched out his hand and pressed down, causing the boiling crowd below to quiet down. Once upon a time, An Zheng was someone who stood below the stage. Therefore, An Zheng had the same experience as those below the stage, he knew how difficult it was for these people.
“According to the rules, the first three days of Martial Arts Conference was to give everyone a chance to show off. I know that for many people, these three days are extremely important. I also hope that everyone can complete their wrongdoings in these three days and obtain what they want. I wish you all the best in your dreams. ”
“However, there is one thing that I must make clear first. Within three days, no matter which sect has set their eyes on the assailant, my Heavenly Awakening Sect will punish them according to the rules of the Heavenly Awakening Sect. There are scholars, people with good character and character, my Heavenly Awakening Sect will also accept them, and it is no different to the treatment of the disciples who just entered the sect. Those who obey the rules, I respect the efforts of each and every one of you. Those who do not follow the rules, even if they are extremely talented, or if they are not handed over after being selected by a sect, their sects will still be destroyed together. ”
After An Zheng finished this sentence, the entire audience was in complete silence.
“I will decide on the rules, it will be beneficial to you all. My rules are suitable for this Martial Arts Conference, and similarly, for the entire martial arts world of the Jizhou, and even for the entire nine prefectures. Why don’t you say a few more words today … The Heavenly Awakening Sect had risen up in the Yancheng, but the Yancheng could not let him go. No one has ever said it before, right? I’ll handle the matters of the Jizhou. I said today, I will take care of the matters of the Jizhou. ”
Celestial Sovereign, who was seated beside An Zheng, snorted. There was a look of disdain in his eyes.
An Zheng stood there and did not turn his head back, but he knew what Yang Ji’s reaction was.
“When I say Jizhou, many people think that I care about these few words. Someone said, there are so many killers in the Jizhou, can you manage them? Some would even think, “If the perpetrator is special, what can you do about it?” No matter how special, it has nothing to do with Immortal Teacher’s Estate, right? ”
An Zheng waved his hand: “Treat it as the sacrifice of the Martial Arts Conference. Coincidentally, we have caught some fellows from the Immortal Teacher’s Estate who were once rampant in the Jizhou, we will kill them under the Martial Arts Conference’s banner today. ”
The disciples of the black-robed Law Enforcement Squadron brought oveundred Immortal Teacher’s Estate s. The Immortal Inspector Heavenly Ambassador, who had been doing whatever he wanted in the Jizhou, was battered and exhausted. He was kicked to his knees, the knife pressed against his shoulder.
An Zheng turned around and glanced at Yang Ji, then he returned to the black mass of people below the stage.
“I dared to kill people from the Immortal Teacher’s Estate, you guys can try, people who broke my rules, I don’t dare to kill.”
He pressed his hand down, and a hundred heads fell to the ground.
This blood was enough to be used as a sacrifice.
