Yue Country was located to the east of Chu, right next to Qiang Chu.
However, not far to the east of Yue Country was the famous Mugu Academy, which could be considered to have some support.
As the saying goes, "Ring the bell in the morning and beat the drum at night." It was a way to train one's mind and learn hard.
Of the four academies in the world, Mugu Academy had the most special meaning.
Because this academy was located at the foot of the Confucian holy land, Book Mountain.
The Confucian holy land, Book Mountain, and the Legalism holy land, Sanxing Palace, were similar in that they were both important to the learning of their respective sects.
The difference was that most of the people on the Book Mountain were scholars who only focused on their studies. They did not take in disciples, nor did they participate in the general trend of the world. They did not even care about the "trivial matters of the world".
Sanxing Palace was like the combination of Book Mountain and the four academies. It did not involve itself in the world, but it accepted many disciples. Of the three palaces, Zhenren Palace was the most involved.
Back to Bai Yuxia.
This person's strength was definitely not weaker than others, but his luck was too bad.
In the last few rounds, he met Tianjiao who were hiding their strength and waiting to shock the world.
The nature of it was like encountering Lin Xian. He had encountered it twice in a row.
In the last round, he met Jiang Shaohua from Shen Country. He revealed all his trump cards and was defeated by Jiang Shaohua, ending his journey in the Battle of the Yellow River.
However, Xian Nankui did not nominate Bai Yuxia as a replacement for the main competition because the higher-ups of Chu were not present.
Among the remaining geniuses, Bai Yuxia was the only one who was still in good condition.
His opponent was about to be killed and had no strength to continue fighting.
Dongguo Bao was on his last breath, let alone the opponents he defeated.
Even if the higher-ups of Chu were present, they would not be able to say anything. It was true that only Bai Yuxia could participate. They did not need to find someone from the previous round.
At this moment, there were only three people who had the right to express their opinion in front of Xian Nankui.
Cao Jie didn't express his opinion immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Jiang Wang and said slowly, "You've been watching the matches these past few days. I'm sure you're more familiar with Tianjiao than I am. Do you think Yue Country's Bai Yu Xia is worthy of this position? "
Jiang Wang thought for a moment and said seriously, "With my experience, I can't make any accurate judgments, and I shouldn't give pointers to the heroes of the world. If you must ask me, I can only say that I personally think he has the strength to enter the competition. "
Cao Jie smiled and looked at Xian Nankui. "This is Qi's opinion."
Xi Nankui didn't comment on Qi's and Zhang Zian's overly upright attitude. Then, he looked at the Golden Crown Priest of the Mu Kingdom, Namo Duo.
Na Modo raised his eyelids. "You can give this spot to whoever you want. It's not important. I'm just here to inform you that the Tianjiao representative from the Mu Nation has changed. "
As he spoke, he flicked his finger, and a round metal plate shot out and was caught by Xian Nankui. After that, he turned around and left the World Arena. He was really straightforward.
This year's Gathering of the Yellow River was full of strange things.
The Jing Country's Tianjiao withdrew from the Inner Palace Arena. As for the Mu Nation, they suddenly announced a change at the last moment of the competition's roster.
Xian Nankui looked at the round metal plate in his hand and didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at the Governor of the Jing Country, Xiahou Lie.
Xiahou Lie leaned back in his seat lazily and said, "Since Brother Cao has said so, let's do it."
"If no one has any objections …" Xian Nankui turned in a formal circle to show fairness and openness. Then, he said, "Then I announce that the Yue Country's Bai Yu Xia has advanced to the Gathering of the Yellow River!"
"I have an objection!" a voice said.
The person who spoke was below the arena.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Bai Yu Xia.
This was a man with extremely white skin and an extremely handsome appearance. He wore a moon colored long robe with narrow sleeves and stood below the Martial Practice Platform B.
Among all the losers in this round, he was in relatively good condition. However, the bloodstains on his body that had yet to dry showed how difficult it had been to fight his way here.
Xian Nankui looked down at him in surprise, "You have an objection?"
"The Gathering of the Yellow River, the Tianjiao Gathering!"
Bai Yu Xia said slowly, "I learned swordsmanship at the age of three. I practiced swordsmanship at the age of ten. I worked day and night without rest. Only then could I come to the Riverview Platform to compete with the heroes of the world. "
"I lost today because I was inferior. I can only blame myself."
"The Jing Country's Tianjiao forfeited. It is the luck of losers like us to have an extra spot in the main competition. I am very grateful that you are willing to nominate me as a replacement. I am grateful to the Tianjiao for recognizing my strength. "
"But do I have to use such a humiliating method to obtain a spot in the main competition? The Jing Country's Tianjiao forfeited, while the other Tianjiao's are fighting to the death. I lost more easily and didn't lose so miserably. Do I deserve this spot? "
Bai Yu Xia shook his head, "I don't accept it."
"My pride does not allow me to accept it. The men of the Yue Country will not accept charity. "
"The victory I desire is to obtain fair and square. The honor I look forward to is to obtain through my own bloody battles. "
He stood on Stage A and looked at Xian Nankui, Cao Jie, and Xiahou Lie. He said forcefully, "I request that you give the other two Tianjiao's some time to recuperate and let us fight again! Only a truly unquestionable Tianjiao will not be a disgrace to this heroic occasion! "
"Good!" Huang Sheli shouted from the spectator stands. He raised his right fist high to boost his momentum.
On the spectator stands, one after another, fists were raised. The spectators from various countries used their actions to show their respect.
Bai Yu Xia's choice was undoubtedly worthy of respect.
This was the will of a hero, this was the action of a hero!
Why was the Gathering of the Yellow River the focus of attention?
It was because those who could participate in this event were the top Tianjiao of each country.
Whether they hated it or liked it, they had to admit that everyone who could compete at the river observation platform had their own unique charm.
Bai Yu Xia was one of them.
His pride, his dignity, was clearly displayed here.
Xian Nankui raised his eyebrows and did not say a word.
Xiahou Lie looked at Bai Yu Xia with interest. He allowed Huang Sheli to kick up a fuss without saying a word.
Cao Jie acted as if he did not hear anything. He had an expression that said, "It's none of my business."
Jolin's eyes lit up as he excitedly sent a voice transmission, "Does he have a grudge against the Xia Country? He's slapping Tao Jie in the face! "
Jiang Wang ignored him. He had no interest in gossiping with this fellow in front of so many experts. The aunties at the wet market all knew how to gossip behind people's backs!
Speaking of which, the relationship between the Yue Country and the Xia Country had always been relatively good. Perhaps it was because they both had to face the pressure of the overlord countries, so they were in the same boat. However, there was another important reason. Most of the students of the Mugu Academy were from the Yue Country and the Xia Country.
Many of the officials from the two countries had studied together in their early years, so it was naturally easier for them to communicate.
However, there was naturally competition.
Bai Yu Xia's stance did leave a good impression, but in comparison, it inevitably made Tao Jie's previous actions appear even more detestable.
It was hard to tell if he had any ill intentions towards Tao Jie, but it was not without reason for Jolin to say that he was slapping Tao Jie in the face.
Tao Jie did not remain silent. Instead, he took the initiative to persuade him before the few important figures expressed their stance. "I can understand Brother Bai's pride very well. We have cultivated to this point not to pick up leftovers. However, the question is, is your personal honor more important, or is the national interest of the Yue Country more important? Brother Bai, please think twice before you act. "
His words were too powerful.
He was persuading Bai Yu Xia and also explaining himself. Why is Tao Jie so shameless as to seek an opportunity in the loser's match despite the disdain of others? Isn't it all for the Xia Country? For the sake of the country, why should I cherish my life!
In comparison, your actions, Bai Yu Xia, seem a little selfish. You put your personal face more important than the national interest.
At the same time, he pointed out without malice that no matter what method Bai Yu Xia chose to use to fight for this spot, he was just picking up other people's "leftovers" to eat. He was just a beggar. And no matter what, he relied on himself to win his rice bowl at the table.
Regardless of whether Bai Yu Xia's words were targeted at him or meant to belittle him, Tao Jie decisively "counterattacked".
Bai Yu Xia glanced at Tao Jie and said seriously, "I cannot agree with Brother Tao's thoughts. I came to the Riverview Platform today to represent the Yue Country to compete with the heroes of the world. My honor and disgrace is the honor and disgrace of the Yue Country. If it was really just Bai Yu Xia's personal matter, I would give up my face and fight for some benefits. However, today, I represent the Yue Country. I will not allow myself to do anything that will disgrace the country! "
This counterattack was much fiercer.
In such an occasion where countries gathered in Tianjiao, one's personal face was the face of the country. Otherwise, why would Tao Jie, who did not care about his personal honor and disgrace, explain himself here?
The corner of Tao Jie's mouth twitched and he immediately wanted to respond.
But at this time, Cao Jie spoke.
Just now, he had a look of indifference on his face. At this moment, he leaned forward half an inch and immediately made his presence known.
"When I see a leaf, I know that autumn is coming. Today, when I see Bai Yu Xia, I am very relieved! I can see the glory of the Yue Country from Bai Yu Xia. I am very happy that they did not disgrace history. People can live without money, but they cannot live without backbone. A country can live without wealth, but it cannot live without dignity! On behalf of Qi, I agree to give two days to recuperate and give the other injured young people a chance. On behalf of myself, I also hope that Bai Yu Xia can get this spot in the competition fair and square! "
Cao Jie's words were impassioned and impassioned.
He did not mention the Xia Country at all, but every sentence was scolding the Xia Country.
He did not give Tao Jie any chance to retort. He nailed the Xia Country's Tianjiao to the pillar of shame and slapped the Xia Country's face.
This was simply bullying the weak.
However, Cao Jie did not seem to have any psychological burden. He looked as though he was talking about youth and was now very hot-blooded and excited.
It made Jiang Wang, who was beside him, feel like a stranger!
For some reason, the Xia Country's State Preceptor, Xi Mengfu, was not present today. But even if he was present, it was difficult for him to interject.
This was because Cao Jie was talking to Xian Nankui and Xiahou Lie about the spots in the Yellow River Gathering's main competition. To put it bluntly, he was discussing the competition rules of the Yellow River Gathering. Apart from the six strongest countries in the world, no one had the right to interrupt.
If anyone wanted to encroach on this power, the six strongest in the world would make them understand what it meant to be the six strongest in the world.
"Since Brother Cao has already said so, I naturally agree. Let's do it this way. " Xiahou Lie yawned and stood up. "This place is really boring. I came here to watch a fight, not to watch a quarrel. Little Relic, are you coming or not? "
"Let's go!" Huang Relic rolled up his battle robes and stood up to follow behind Xiahou Lie. What a straightforward and efficient way of doing things.
Bai Yuxia and Tan Zhi's short 'quarrel' was indeed fascinating. However, it was difficult not to feel embarrassed after being mocked by Xiahou Lie.
Bai Yuxia was slightly better off.
Tan Zhi was the only one who knew how he felt after Cao Jie cut off any possibility of a counterattack.
Xian Nankui thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it this way. I'll give you two days to recuperate. When the time comes, the final spot in the inner manor will be decided. "
It was impossible for the six strongest countries in the world not to know what had happened. Not appearing was a tacit agreement.
Therefore, the discussion between the three could be said to be the final decision.
To the entire Yellow River Gathering, the spots for the main competition in the outer manor would be decided the next day, and the spots for the unrestricted matches below the age of thirty would be decided the day after.
…
…
After returning from the 'World Stage'.
Jiang Wang could not help but ask Cao Jie, "Do you have a relationship with that Governor Xiahou of the Jing Kingdom?"
Xiahou Lie kept saying 'Brother Cao has the final say' and 'I'll listen to Brother Cao'. It was hard not to be curious about their relationship.
Cao Jie said calmly, "We can be considered acquaintances. We had a few disputes behind the Gate of Myriad Demons and fought with each other. "
Jiang Wang said tactfully, "I believe you beat him to the point of submission."
Cao Jie smiled, "It's a 50-50 outcome."
"Don't be so polite," Jiang Wang said eagerly, "That Governor Xiahou was beaten to the point of calling you 'Brother'. What else do you want?"
Cao Jie glanced at him, "That's only because I'm older than him."
"You're just too humble!" Jiang Wang had an 'I'm worried about you' expression, "It's not that I want to flatter you, but you were so impressive in the World Stage just now. Even Xian Nankui paled in comparison! The High Priest of the Mu Kingdom and the Governor of the Jing Kingdom paled in comparison to you. "
Cao Jie looked at him with an 'you're just flattering me' expression, "Your flattery skills are too stiff. You should learn more when you have time … Just say it! What do you need from me? "
Of course, the Yellow River Gathering was fair. It could even be said to be the fairest selection in the world. Because none of the six strongest in the world would allow any side to influence the main competition.
Xian Nankui's' host and guest argument 'was immediately attacked by everyone. This was also a microcosm of the competition between the great powers at the Yellow River Gathering. Reputation, status, influence, everything had to be fought for. There were clashes in all aspects.
Every Tianjiao could only rely on their own strength to win. This was without a doubt.
But was there any tacit understanding between the six strongest in the world?
Of course there was.
For example, in the first round of the Yellow River Gathering, the top six Tianjiao contestants would never meet each other.
For example, in this year's main competition list …
According to past conventions, Yelu Zhi of the Liao Kingdom was bound to meet Huang Sheli in the next round.
The Northwest Five Nation Alliance was jumping around happily, and the Jing Kingdom wouldn't go easy on them either.
So on and so forth, Xiao Shu of the Dan Kingdom was bound to meet Qin Zhizhen of the Qin Kingdom.
The Tianjiao of the Mu Kingdom was originally supposed to meet Jiang Limeng of the Sheng Kingdom. Now that Jiang Limeng was gone, they would probably choose a weaker opponent.
The Jing Kingdom and the Wei Kingdom were separated by a long river, so it was reasonable for the Jing Kingdom's Tianjiao to find Wei's Dongguo Bao. Now that the Jing Kingdom's Tianjiao had abandoned the competition, it was possible that Dongguo Bao would meet Song Guang's Yin Wenhua. But it was possible … It was possible. Because for countries outside of the top six, as long as they weren't picked by the six strongest countries, the matchup was really fair and very much up to fate.
And as the Tianjiao of the Qi Kingdom, Jiang Wang's first opponent was naturally Tao Zhi of the Xia Kingdom. Or maybe Jiang Shaohua of the Shen Kingdom.
Because the Shen Kingdom was located in the north of the Qi Kingdom, not far north was the East King Valley, so the two had some connection. It could even be said that the East King Valley supported the Shen Kingdom behind the scenes, so that the Shen Kingdom could maintain its independence in front of the Qi Kingdom.
Generally speaking, the first opponent would be Tao Zhi or Jiang Shaohua, depending on who Qi Kingdom wanted to beat first.
Jiang Wang restrained his exaggerated expression and looked at Cao Jie seriously. "In the first round of the Yellow River Gathering, I want to fight Lin Zhengren."
He emphasized, "Lin Zhengren of the Zhuang Kingdom."
