"What? You want to leave this place? "In the small house at the back of the Xing Tavern, Elder Zhang looked at Xing Jue in shock and asked in surprise.
"Yes, to be precise, I want to leave Yun Sect City. I want to go out and train!" Xing Jue looked into the distance shrouded in darkness and said expectantly.
"That's good too. With your current strength, it's time for you to train in the early stages. However, there are many strong people in the Sky Martial Continent. When you go out, you should try to control your stubbornness!" Elder Zhang said with a smile after a moment of silence.
After returning to the back of the mountain, Xing Jue had already told Elder Zhang about his current strength. However, he did not mention the matter of meeting the mysterious old man. After all, it was better for fewer people to know about this.
Knowing that Xing Jue had successfully broken through to the level of High Rank Martial Master, Zhanglao was naturally very happy. His old face was full of pride.
After all, Zhanglao had watched Xing Jue grow up. In Zhanglao's heart, Xing Jue was like his own grandson. Because of this, when Xing Jue was transferred out of the Xing family, Zhanglao took the initiative to ask the instructor to accompany Xing Jue. All of this was naturally because he was worried about Xing Jue.
Now that he saw Xing Jue's current achievements, as his grandfather, he was naturally very happy.
"Hehe, don't worry!" Xing Jue turned around and grinned at Elder Zhang. His face was full of confidence.
"You brat!" Looking at the cynical Xing Jue, Elder Zhang shook his head helplessly and said with a smile.
"Hehe, Zhanglao, you have been taking care of me for so many years. Today, let me serve you!" Xing Jue came behind Zhanglao as he spoke. He put his hands on Zhanglao's shoulders and began to massage Zhanglao.
If Zhanglao treated Xing Jue as his own grandson, then Xing Jue naturally treated Zhanglao as his own grandfather. All these years, Zhanglao had done for him, Xing Jue had seen it all. Now that Xing Jue was about to leave, he was most worried about this old man in front of him.
That night, Xing Jue and Zhanglao chatted for a long time. Zhanglao did not fall asleep until late at night.
"It's almost time to go!" Xing Jue said softly as he looked at the hazy light in the east.
Then he turned around and bowed to Zhanglao, who was sleeping soundly, and left quietly.
"Brat, you have to work hard!" Just after Xing Jue left, Elder Zhang, who had fallen asleep, got up and walked to the window. He looked at the young man's back and said in a low voice. There was a gratified smile on his old face.
Cloud Sect City was a medium-sized city in the Oshikaze Empire. It was controlled by three martial arts families. In order to gain control of Cloud Sect City, the three martial arts families would hold a meeting every three years. During the meeting, the new members of the three families would compete with each other, and the family that won would gain control of Cloud Sect City for three years.
This meeting naturally became the most important event in Cloud Sect City. It was called the "Three Clan Meeting", and today was the day of the Three Clan Meeting.
At this moment, there were a lot of people gathered in the Cloud Sect City. In addition to the people in the city, there were also many high-ranking officials and nobles in the nearby cities. In the center of the Cloud Sect City, there was a huge arena called the Martial Arts Hall. This was where the Three Clans Conference would be held.
At the entrance of the Martial Arts Hall, there were ten big men standing neatly on both sides. These ten big men were all high level martial artists. The invited high officials and nobles had to show their golden invitation cards to the big men before they could enter the hall.
However, among the many people holding the invitation cards, there was a young man who attracted the attention of the big men. This young man was dressed very ordinarily, and he was not very old. No matter how they looked at him, he did not look like a person with power or strength. However, after carefully looking at the invitation card he had brought, they could not see anything wrong with it. This made things difficult for the big men.
"Hey! Is there a piece of gold on it? Why are you looking so carefully? "Seeing that the big men did not let him pass, the young man glared and said impatiently. And this was Xing Jue.
"You are called Xing Jue?" The big man asked suspiciously.
"Nonsense, could it be that you are?" Xing Jue glanced at the big man.
"Okay, okay, go in." In the end, the big man was hindered by the long line of people behind Xing Jue, so he had no choice but to let Xing Jue in.
And Xing Jue did not care about them looking down on him, and directly entered the Martial Arts Hall. This was the stage that he had once dreamed of showing off. But now that he was here again, his heart had a different feeling.
The seats in the audience seats were very particular. There was a table in front of each seat, and on the table, there were all kinds of fruits and snacks. Xing Jue casually found a seat slightly closer to the front and sat down. He picked up a fruit and started chewing.
"Yo, isn't this Xing Jue? I didn't think that a servant like you would be qualified to come here." Just as Xing Jue sat down, a familiar voice sounded beside him.
Xing Jue looked sideways and found that the person who came was none other than Xing Feng, who had already reached the Middle Stage Martial Master. And behind him were two familiar faces, a pair of brothers called Xing Shan and Xing Shui. They were two Early Stage Martial Masters. They used to wag their tails and beg for mercy behind Xing Jue, but now it seemed that Xing Feng, their new master, had changed.
"I was not interested at first, but I don't know which bastard sent me this invitation. I happened to pass by today, so I came to take a look." Xing Jue knew that it was Xing Feng who sent him the invitation, so he deliberately mocked him.
"Don't look so f * cking awesome. Do you still think you are the genius from back then? Now you are just a little servant, be careful that I throw you out. "Seeing that Xing Jue's tone was not right, Xing Shan shouted angrily at Xing Jue.
"Try it if you have the ability!" Xing Jue glanced at Xing Shan and said disdainfully.
"You …" Seeing Xing Jue's attitude, Xing Shan was even more unhappy. However, at the moment when Xing Jue looked at him, his body actually trembled. A sense of danger surged into his heart, so he actually did not dare to say what he wanted to say.
"Xing Shan, no matter what, you are the new blood that the Xing Clan has focused on training. Why do you need to lower yourself to the level of this trash?" Xing Feng said, wanting to attack Xing Jue.
"That's true, he is just a trash, hahaha …" Xing Shan and Xing Feng also laughed extremely cooperatively.
However, facing their ignorant behavior, Xing Jue only smiled faintly. He did not even look at them, but continued to eat the fruit in his hand.
Seeing that Xing Jue was so calm and composed, Xing Feng and the others were extremely angry.
"Hmph, let's see how long you can pretend for. Soon you will know how big the gap between you, a trash, and me is." After snorting coldly in his heart, Xing Feng turned around and left, while Xing Shan and Xing Shui hurriedly followed.
"Little brother, do you know them? It is said that they are the seeded players of the Xing family this time. "At this moment, a middle-aged man sitting beside Xing Jue saw that Xing Jue actually did not take Xing Feng and the others seriously, so he asked curiously.
"Them? I don't know them. Hey, uncle, please pass me the banana on your side. "Xing Jue pointed at the banana on the table in front of the middle-aged man and said.
Seeing that Xing Jue was acting like this, the middle-aged man no longer paid attention to Xing Jue. He thought to himself, "This guy is simply a glutton. I don't know where he got the invitation from."
Of course, Xing Jue was not a glutton. He just did not want to waste anything …
At this moment, the entire Martial Arts Hall's auditorium was in an uproar. The high-ranking officials and nobles who were chatting with each other all turned their gazes to a seat high up in the hall. This was because three high-spirited middle-aged men dressed in luxurious clothing appeared on the seating platform.
The three middle-aged men were the three masters of the Xing family, the Zhao family, and the Lv Family. Xing Tian, Zhao Shan, and Lv Ming were all experts who had reached the Intermediate Martial Master level.
However, at this moment, there was an unfamiliar old man standing beside the three Patriarchs. The old man was dressed in a blue robe and had an insufferably arrogant look on his face. What was even more inconceivable was that the three Patriarchs of the Cloud Sect City were actually acting so respectfully towards him. This caused the crowd to break out into a discussion. For the three Patriarchs of the Cloud Sect City to treat him with such respect, one could imagine that his identity was definitely not simple.
After the masters of the Xing family took their seats, the strongest new blood of the three families also walked into the new blood area of their respective families. In this meeting, each family would select ten new blood, and the competition would be carried out by elimination. The final winner would get a generous reward and help the family win the dominant right of the Yunzong City for the next three years.
At this moment, in the new blood area of the Xing family, Xing Feng, who had just come to provoke Xing Jue, and the brothers Xing Shan and Xing Shuiliang were sitting among them.
Xing Feng had an arrogant look on his face, as if he was determined to win this competition.
Compared with Xing Feng, the new blood of each family was the same. However, as the strongest new blood of the three families, they indeed had enough capital to be arrogant.
"Humph, a group of ignorant things." Xing Jue looked at them in the new blood area and said disdainfully. In Xing Jue's opinion, among the new blood of this competition, the stronger ones were Xing Feng of the Xing family and Zhao Zhen of the Zhao family. Both of them were Intermediate Martial Masters. Relatively speaking, the new blood chosen by the Lv Family was weaker, but in the eyes of Xing Jue, they were vulnerable.
"Hmm?" But just when Xing Jue was about to withdraw his gaze, a young man sitting behind the new blood area of the Lv Family attracted Xing Jue's attention. This young man was wearing a Bamboo Hat on his head. The Bamboo Hat covered his face tightly, so Xing Jue couldn't see his appearance at all. However, Xing Jue couldn't see through the young man's strength. Obviously, this young man's strength was not weaker than his. What surprised Xing Jue the most was that this young man actually had a familiar feeling, but he couldn't recall it at the moment …
"Is he back?" After thinking for a moment, Xing Jue finally found a trace of an answer.
"If it's really him, then this competition is a bit interesting." Thinking of this, the corners of Xing Jue's mouth curled up slightly. He then looked at Xing Feng, and his eyes were full of pity …
Just when Xing Jue had some answers about the identity of the mysterious young man with the Bamboo Hat, an old man slowly walked into the arena of the main hall. After this old man walked onto the arena, the crowd gradually quieted down. Although this old man wasn't a member of the three families, he had a very high reputation in Yun Zong City. Every year, he would be the host of the competition. Therefore, when he walked into the arena, the crowd also knew that the long-awaited competition of the three families was finally going to officially start.
