Because the Cheng Family Competition was no longer open to the public and only invited 10,000 people to spectate. In addition, the Cheng Family did not announce the date of the competition to the public. Gradually, the Cheng Family had forgotten about the Cheng Family Competition.
It was so much so that a lot of people had already forgotten about the Cheng Family Competition. Only those who came from afar to spectate the Cheng Family Competition found out that the Cheng Family Competition was no longer open to the public. Only then did everyone remembered about the Cheng Family Competition.
Regarding such a situation, it was also the result that Cheng Yu wanted.
It was to divert everyone's attention away from the Cheng Family. He couldn't let them keep their eyes on the Cheng Family. Even the experts in the Cheng Family were clearly understood. Therefore, he chose to hold the competition in a closed manner.
Now that no one cared about the Cheng Family Competition, it couldn't be any better.
Although some of the results of the Grand Tournament might be leaked to outsiders, it was no longer that important.
As long as no one witnessed the fighting process of these disciples and the actual situation of the competition, the result alone didn't mean anything.
With not so many people paying attention to the Cheng Family, the popularity of the Cheng Family in the Cultivation World would naturally decrease. This would also reduce the Cheng Family's high profile as much as possible and lower the chances of them being noticed by the dynasty.
Under the situation where the majority of the people didn't know, the Cheng Family Competition had quietly started.
If it wasn't because of the gambling houses in the various cities, a lot of people wouldn't know that the Cheng Family Competition had already started.
Although the Cheng Family had chosen to be low profile, the gambling house had still attracted a lot of people. After all, there would never be a lack of gamblers in any world.
It was also because of their existence that the originally low profile Cheng Family had once again entered the vision of a lot of people.
Fortunately, the influence wasn't too big. Otherwise, Cheng Yu would have flipped all the gambling houses in the various cities.
The process of the Cheng Family Competition was for every faction to carry out a preliminary screening of the disciples who had registered.
After all, some of them might not be very strong but they still wished to interact with more people. Even if they were to lose, it didn't matter. At most, they would just treat it as a form of practice.
There were a lot of sects that had submitted to the Cheng Family. For example, those powerful first-grade sects such as Tianshan Sect, Cangling Sect, Shushan Sect, etc.
After the first round of preliminary screening, they would pick out 100 outstanding disciples.
As for the weaker second-class sects, they would pick out fifty outstanding disciples.
As for the weaker third-class sects, they only needed to choose twenty outstanding disciples.
The first round was held in their respective sects.
The ten thousand people invited by the Cheng Family could only watch from the branch venues of these sects.
Even so, not all of the 10,000 people invited by the Cheng Clan would be watching the battle together. Instead, they were allocated to different venues according to their contributions.
For example, the top four thousand contribution points were assigned to first-rank sects, the middle three thousand were assigned to second-rank sects, and the last three thousand were assigned to third-rank sects.
Thus, these ten thousand people were all split up, and each of the lower sects received a portion.
Since the address of the venue they were assigned to was written on each invitation, they already knew where they were supposed to watch the battle when they received the invitation.
At that time, he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was the same no matter which venue he was assigned to.
But when they really arrived at the venue, they saw that the disciples of the same sect were competing, and the quality was very average. Immediately, many people were disappointed.
"Aren't we here to watch the Cheng Family's competition? Why are we arranged to watch the battles of these sects? "Some people's faces were filled with dissatisfaction.
He was ranked around seven thousand on the contribution list, so the Cheng Family arranged for him to watch the battle of a sect called Flying Sand Gang.
To be honest, before the Cultivation World was in chaos, he had never heard of Flying Sand Gang. After all, the Cultivation World was so big that many people didn't know about these sects that weren't famous.
But after these sects came to the secular world and pledged allegiance to the Cheng Family, no matter how small their reputation was, they began to enter the eyes of everyone.
After all, there were so many sects in the Cultivation World, but they were either destroyed by the Black Heaven Sect or disbanded because of the heavy losses.
To be able to escape to the secular world and pledge allegiance to the Cheng Family, no matter how small the sect was, it still had some scale.
Although this Flying Sand Gang wasn't famous in the past, after coming to the Cheng Family, many people had heard of it.
However, the Flying Sand Gang was definitely not a powerful sect in the secular world. They were arranged to come here, so what kind of meaningful competition could they see?
Many of the disciples chosen by these sects were even weaker than them, so what was there to watch?
"I've already asked around. It seems like the Cheng Family arranges the viewing venue based on our contribution ranking.
Those with the highest contribution ranking are assigned to the Sky Mountain Sect, Shushan Sect, and other big sects. People like us with low contribution points can only be arranged to watch the battles in these sects.
It is said that this Flying Sand Gang is only the lowest grade three sect among all the lower sects of the Cheng Family, so we really can't see any exciting battles here. " Clearly, there were some people who had done some homework in advance before the Cheng Family held the competition.
"Since you already know that you will be arranged to watch the battles in a lower grade three sect, why did you still come?" Someone asked doubtfully.
"Although we know that we will be arranged to be here, others don't know! If we don't even come here, then wouldn't we be a joke when we received the invitation? "That person said matter-of-factly.
Back then, when the Cheng family had sent out the invitation letter, he had flaunted it everywhere. Many people had come up to him to flatter him. They had been especially enthusiastic towards him and had been flattering him all this time.
Therefore, this invitation was not only a recognition of their contributions, but also a kind of glory in itself.
"That's true. After I received the invitation, many of my friends wanted to ask me about the Cheng Family's competition.
But now, this Cheng Family is too ungrateful. If we only watch from a sect like this, then how can I brag to my friends and tell them how exciting the Cheng Family's competition is? "There were also some people who agreed with the previous person, but in their hearts, they had a bellyful of complaints.
"Who asked us to not contribute enough? Also, I found out that the Cheng Family is very strict now. In the past, it was easy to get information, but now it has become very difficult, and we may not even be able to find out. "Someone said doubtfully.
"I also have the same feeling. Maybe the Cheng Family is starting to maintain a sense of mystery in front of us.
Therefore, this time's competition has chosen to be closed. Even those of us who were invited were arranged to watch the battles in such a small sect. It's really too boring.
When the competition is over, I don't know how to brag to my friends when I go back! "The person who had said that he would tell his friends the results of the competition now said with a gloomy face.
"Isn't it simple? You can say that the Cheng Family has already said that the entire situation of the competition cannot be revealed. Then, your friends will have nothing to say. "Someone suggested.
"It seems like that is the only way!" That person nodded and said helplessly.
This kind of thing did not only happen in the Flying Sand Gang. Not to mention those who were arranged to go to the Third Class Lower Sect, even those who were arranged to go to the Second Class Lower Sect and First Class Lower Sect were still not satisfied with the Cheng Family's arrangements.
This was because they were all here for the competition between the Cheng Family's disciples. Although there were indeed some outstanding disciples in the competition between the Cheng Family's disciples, they still looked forward to the Cheng Family's competition more.
"According to the situation of the Cheng Family's competition in the past, the Cheng Family should be holding a competition now, right?" Someone asked doubtfully.
"That's right. The Cheng Family's competition is first for the sects of the Cheng Family to compete individually. Therefore, the Cheng Family should be competing among themselves now. After that, the disciples of the various sects will go to the Cheng Family to compete together. "Someone nodded and said.
"If that's the case, then why were we arranged to be here? Why weren't we arranged to go to the Cheng Family to watch the Cheng Family's competition? "Someone was very puzzled.
"As far as I know, none of us were arranged to watch the Cheng Family's competition. All of us were arranged to go to the Cheng Family's various lower sects!"
"What does the Cheng Family mean by this? They invited us to watch the competition, but now they arranged us to go to these lower sects. How can these lower sects compare to the Cheng Family? The Cheng Family clearly doesn't want us to watch the Cheng Family's competition. "Someone said with dissatisfaction.
"Perhaps that's the case. This year, the Cheng Family purposely changed the Cheng Family's competition from an open one to a closed one. Obviously, it's to prevent more people from knowing about the Cheng Family's competition.
Therefore, it's reasonable that we were arranged to go to the various lower sects to watch the competition.
However, when the competition of these lower sects is over, all of us will go to the Cheng Family to participate in the competition.
Presumably, we can also go to the Cheng Family to watch the competition at that time! "Someone speculated.
"Looking at the current situation, the Cheng Family may not let us go to the Cheng Family to watch the competition. All the sects' competition!" But someone shook his head and said. Obviously, he didn't have much confidence in the current situation.
