Many pairs of eyes looked at Mu Qingfeng. It could be seen that everyone's eyes were filled with doubt. However, although they were doubtful, Mu Qingfeng's words still received the approval of the other small sects.
After all, when Mu Qingfeng said that it was not limited to the Five Sects of the Holy Region, it meant that the small sects also had the right to make the decision.
"A wisdom test is indeed impossible." Mu Qingfeng heard the discussion below. He narrowed his eyes and said, "After all, even the Five Sects of the Holy Region have different cultivation directions. Therefore, I suggest that we use the Martial Arts Competition!"
"Martial Arts Competition?" Everyone was shocked.
"How are we going to compete?"
"We can't possibly start a war now, can we? Moreover, there are so many sects. If we were to compete, how long would it take? "
"Most importantly, the Heaven's Peak can't hold it!"
Everyone was confused. After all, once a Martial Arts Competition was involved, there was a need for judgment and a place. Besides, it was impossible for the Heaven Alliance Meeting to go on a killing spree.
"Pavilion Master Mu, how do you want to compete? I, Mo Shanshi, am no match for you in terms of swordsmanship. However, I, Mo Shanshi, am not afraid of anyone in terms of formations! " Mo Shanshi spoke again. He narrowed his eyes and it was obvious that he had some objections to Mu Qingfeng's suggestion.
"Valley Master Mo, you've misunderstood." Mu Qingfeng shook his head and raised his hands to signal for silence. "The competition that I suggested is not a competition between the leaders of the five sects of the Holy Region."
"Not for the Five Sects of the Holy Region? Who else can compete with him? "
"That's right. If the Five Sects of the Holy Region's Five Sects don't participate, it will be difficult to convince the masses even if someone is chosen to enforce the rules."
"That's right. How can the masses be convinced without prestige?"
Everyone agreed. After all, the Martial Arts Competition would decide the true decision-makers of all the sects and the enforcers of the rules.
A person like that …
If he wasn't the leader of the Five Sects of the Holy Region or a Sect Leader, how could he make decisions and implement the rules?
Mu Qingfeng smiled and turned to look at Chi Guyan, who was standing behind him. "What I meant was that if the leaders of the various sects were to compete, it would hurt the harmony. Moreover, it would be difficult to determine the winner. Why don't we give this opportunity to the younger generation?"
"The younger generation?!" Everyone looked at Mu Qingfeng, then at Chi Guyan, who was standing behind Mu Qingfeng. Then, they seemed to have realized something.
"Pavilion Master Mu, do you want the younger generation to represent the various sects?" Mo Shanshi narrowed his eyes. Naturally, he understood Mu Qingfeng's intention very quickly.
Mu Qingfeng nodded. "Yes, the age limit is set to be below 30 years old. This can test the strength of the future generations of our sects, and also give other sects other than the five sects of the Holy Region a chance."
"I support Pavilion Master Mu's suggestion!"
"I support it too!"
"Letting the younger generation participate in this combat examination is indeed the best decision!"
After hearing this, the other sect leaders looked at each other. Very quickly, three of them spoke up. That was because, just like what Mu Qingfeng said, this was an opportunity.
After all, no one was willing to be under someone else forever.
Once the leaders of the five sects of the Holy Region participated in this combat examination, the outcome would be almost certain. Therefore, there wouldn't be much difference whether they competed or not.
However, if the younger generation participated, they would have a much higher chance of winning.
Of course, the most important thing was that Mu Qingfeng mentioned that the age limit was set to be below 30 years old. This restriction could be considered as relatively fair.
At this moment, Mo Shanshi fell silent.
He could naturally guess what Mu Qingfeng was thinking. It was obvious that Mu Qingfeng wanted to give this opportunity to the younger generation.
"Is it because of Chi Guyan?" Mo Shanshi looked at Chi Guyan, who was standing behind Mu Qingfeng, and quickly calculated in his mind.
In terms of talent …
Chi Guyan was definitely the number one among the younger generation of the Holy Region.
However, Chi Guyan was relatively young. She was only 17 years old, and she had yet to break through to the Sage State.
This was very important.
"I agree with Pavilion Master Mu's suggestion, but I have a small request!" Mo Shanshi finally spoke after a moment of silence.
"Valley Master Mo, please speak." Mu Qingfeng didn't seem surprised by Mo Shanshi's words.
"Since we want to give the younger generation a chance, we can't just give them one chance. I suggest that we win two out of three rounds. What do you think, Pavilion Master Mu?" Mo Shanshi smirked coldly.
He knew that Chi Guyan was strong, but she was only one person. It was already good enough for a person who had yet to enter the Sage State to defeat a Sage State expert. How could she continue to win?
"Best two out of three rounds?"
"Yes, since it's best two out of three rounds, the rules are much more flexible. Each sect can only send one person, or three people!" Mo Shanshi explained.
"Hmm, Valley Master Mo is right!" Mo Shanshi's words soon received the approval of a sect leader. After all, there was a famous saying since ancient times, 'there is strength in numbers'.
If they couldn't win in a one-on-one fight, they could take turns to tire them out.
"I also agree with Valley Master Mo's words. Winning two out of three is indeed more fair!" Another Sect Leader also quickly spoke up.
"Yes, I agree too!"
"Agree!"
"The Five Sects of the Holy Region will be the judges to determine the winner."
Soon, the other sect leaders agreed. Although they weren't confident that they could win the Five Sects of the Holy Region, this was their only chance to turn the tables.
Mu Qingfeng frowned and looked at Chi Guyan behind him. He didn't say anything, but the question in his eyes was very obvious.
After all, he originally wanted to decide the winner in one round. In order to achieve this result, he deliberately won over the hearts of the other sect leaders and raised the age limit to 30 years old.
It could be said that it was a "fair fight".
However, the current situation was clearly out of his plan. If he increased the number of rounds, the outcome would be very difficult to control.
That was because the burden of fighting one round and fighting two or more rounds wasn't just one plus one equals two. It was multiple times more burdensome.
Chi Guyan naturally knew what Mu Qingfeng was thinking about. However, nothing could be perfect, and it couldn't be completely controlled.
She didn't say anything, but she nodded her head slightly to express her opinion.
"Alright, I agree with Valley Master Mo's suggestion. Best two out of three rounds. What do the others think?" Mu Qingfeng gritted his teeth and said when he saw Chi Guyan nod her head.
"I have no objections to giving the young people a chance." A voice was heard from the Yin Yang Hall's camp. It was Dao Hun, who was sitting in front of the Yin Yang Hall.
"I have no objections either." Qian Yu glanced at Ping Yang, then nodded her head and replied.
"Hmm." The new Sect Leader of Nine Pinnacles Mountain, Bai Fei, nodded his head at this moment. It was just a simple word, but it was enough to express Nine Pinnacles Mountain's stance.
"Since everyone has no objections, let's begin. I, along with the leaders of the other four sects, will be the judges. The order of the competition will be decided by drawing lots. If the other sects want to participate, you can sign up freely." Mu Qingfeng announced after hearing the other three sects' stance.
"Sign up?" The other sects finally fell silent at this moment. They looked at each other and waited for the others to speak up.
After all, some of them were almost unheard of. How would they dare to go against the Five Sects of the Holy Region?
"If you want to participate, then participate. If you can't even bear this little bit of courage and loss, do you really want the Five Sects of the Holy Region to listen to you?" Mo Shanshi looked around at the initially excited sects that had suddenly quietened down. His lips curled into a cold smirk.
"Loss?" One of the sect leaders quickly realized the meaning behind Mo Shanshi's words. He was about to speak, but he quickly swallowed his words.
"Since it's a martial arts competition, it's inevitable that some people get injured and die. What's so strange about that?" Mo Shanshi's gaze swept across the other sects coldly.
"Die …" The other sect leaders fell silent again. They could naturally hear the 'threat' in Mo Shanshi's words.
However, they weren't surprised by this. After all, they were nothing in front of the Five Sects of the Holy Region.
Of course, they couldn't find any fault with Mo Shanshi's words. Just like what Mo Shanshi said, how could there be no casualties in a martial arts competition?
However, could they really afford to lose so many people?
For small sects like them, a member of the younger generation, especially a talented one, could be said to be their future.
As for the three young people …
That would truly be the entirety of their sect.
"Our Xuantian Palace will not participate this time!"
"Red Rainbow Sect gives up!"
"Purple Flame World … Haha, we'll just watch from the side. Since it's a competition, I think it's better for the Five Sects of the Holy Region to compete."
"We give up too."
"Give up."
Soon, a few sects spoke up. Although they were unwilling to admit it, they knew very well that if they were to really fight, they would only be asking for trouble if they got involved.
"Cowardly rats, our 'Xuanji Sect' doesn't believe in this. We'll sign up!" At this moment, a voice rang out from the crowd.
Following that, a figure walked out from the crowd. It was a man in his forties, dressed in black, and there were nine long swords on his back.
As this man walked out, three figures quickly followed. They were all youths below the age of thirty, two men and one woman. They seemed to be emitting a faint killing intent.
He was none other than the sect leader of the Four Stars Sect, the ever-changing Zu Lian.
"It's the Xuanji Sect?!"
"The Xuanji Sect has finally stepped out. However, I'm afraid only they have the power to do so!"
"Yes, the Xuanji Sect's influence is spread throughout the Wuji Empire and Radiant Moon Empire. They can be considered the sixth largest sect besides the Five Sects of the Holy Region!"
Although the other sects were a little surprised to see the Xuanji Sect stepping out, they weren't too surprised. After all, the Xuanji Sect's power was clear for all to see.
"Then, our Shadow Sect will sign up too." Just as everyone's attention was focused on the few people from the Xuanji Sect, a crisp voice rang out.
"Shadow Sect?"
"Are they signing up too?"
"I heard that a few months ago, the Shadow Sect had a battle with the Heaven Dao Pavilion in the Holy Region. It seems like the Shadow Sect has been conserving their strength for the past few years!"
While everyone was shocked, they quickly looked in the direction of the voice. Soon, they saw a figure walking out from the side of the Great Xia Dynasty.
It was a woman.
She had snow-white skin and long hair that cascaded down like a waterfall. There was a cinnabar dot in between her eyebrows, which made her look charming. However, no one dared to flirt with her.
This was because everyone knew that the leader of the Shadow Sect was a woman. However, this woman was the leader of an extremely large sect.
Her name was Wu Yuer.
"I didn't expect the silent Shadow Sect to have a chance to rise again. It seems like in a few years' time, the Xuanji Sect will have to take a good look at you!" The leader of the Xuanji Sect, Zu Lian, was obviously dissatisfied with the timing of Wu Yuer's appearance. His tone was filled with mockery.
"How can a sparrow know the ambitions of a swan?" Wu Yuer glanced at Zu Lian and did not look at him again. Her eyes were filled with disdain.
"Wu Yuer, how dare you. Even if you're the leader of the Shadow Sect, you're just a junior in front of me. Did no one teach you how to treat your elders?" Zu Lian's gaze turned cold and he was instantly enraged. After all, the Xuanji Sect and the Shadow Sect had always been enemies.
To put it bluntly, the Xuanji Sect was only popular in the War Pinnacle Empire and the Radiant Moon Empire because of the Shadow Sect among the Four Great Empires.
In the past, the Shadow Sect could be said to be an extremely low profile existence. Apart from doing business, they did not do anything big. In fact, they even seemed to be neglecting their duties among the various sects.
However, in the past two years, the Shadow Sect's claws and fangs suddenly extended to the Four Great Empires. Coincidentally, they even extended their claws to the entrance of the Xuanji Sect. Among them, the incident that Zu Lian hated the most was the 'selling biscuits' incident.
