Xia and Wei were both in the Southern Region. They were geographically close and had a certain level of national strength. Conflicts were inevitable.
After Xia lost the Battle of Qi and Xia, it was attacked from all sides overnight. Rebellion of rebellion, independence of independence, invasion of aggression …
The country almost collapsed, and the country was wiped out.
As the saying went, everyone kicks a man when he is down.
Wei was one of those countries that took advantage of the situation.
Of course, there was nothing to blame them for. When Xia was at its peak, it had also suppressed Wei.
In recent years, both sides had been actively mending their relationship, opening up trade routes, exchanging Dao techniques … to deal with the increasing pressure from the overlord countries.
However, no one would be soft-hearted when they met on the Yellow River Gathering's martial arts arena.
However …
What was going on?
What happened?
Was Tao Yi hiding his strength? He could actually kill his opponent under the watch of Perfected Cultivator Yu Qian?
Jiang Wang looked at Cao Jie questioningly.
Cao Jie sent a voice transmission back. "Dongguo Bao died because of his Life Burning technique. He's in this state now because he was poisoned. "
That was understandable.
Dongguo Bao had burned his life to win. Yu Qian could not protect him. That was equivalent to forcefully influencing the other party's choice. It was not in line with the Yellow River Gathering's principle of fairness.
However, he could not win even after burning his life … This meant that Tao Yi was quite capable. Moreover, this kind of poison that could corrode a person into a pool of blood was indeed terrifying.
Jiang Wang was silent for a moment.
He did not have a deep impression of Dongguo Bao.
In the Inner Mansion selection competition, the most eye-catching people were Yin Wenhua, Xie Ai, and the like.
He only had an initial impression of Dongguo Bao as brave and straightforward.
During the competition for the three spots in the loser's competition, he had risked his life to win the qualification for the main competition.
In the main competition, he still risked his life and lost his life in the first round.
Everyone could say beautiful words.
There were people everywhere who would say, "Who cares about life and death for the country?"
However, there were not many people who could really do it.
From Yan Shaofei to Dongguo Bao.
Wei was a country that could not be underestimated.
Yu Qian announced the outcome of the two martial arts arenas almost at the same time.
At this moment, the Great General of Wei Nation, Wu Xun, stepped onto the arena.
He did not see it as a pity for the victor. Victory, defeat, life, and death were all matters of the battlefield. This was the Battle of the Yellow River.
He only half-knelt on the ground with the dignity of a grand general.
He stretched out his hands and cupped the blood on the ground into a ball.
"You are a warrior of the Wei Kingdom. I, Wu Xun, am proud of you."
He held the blood in his hands and stood up. "Now, I'll take you home."
He walked down the stage and walked out.
Among the Wei Nation's spectators, the Wei people said in unison, "Return and Come!"
One by one, the Wei people left their seats and followed behind Wu Xun.
The back view of this world famous general was indescribably heavy.
He was really going home.
The Wei Nation had never obtained an unrestricted spot for those under the age of 30.
By now, the Outer Pavilion and the Inner Pavilion were both finished.
The Tianjiao Gathering this time was already over for the Wei Nation.
It couldn't be said that the results weren't good. After all, there was the Third In The World in the outer arena. The harvest was not bad.
But Dongguo Bao was gone.
This Tianjiao, who had been honed in the military, was cut off at the River Viewing Platform for the glory of the Wei Nation.
These were the soldiers under his command, his fellow soldiers.
Wu Xun could not help but feel heavy.
But this was how the Tianjiao of the various countries fought. After the endless glory, there was more cruelty and pain.
For every Tianjiao that walked forward, there were many who fell behind them.
The beginning of a story was the end of many stories.
Life and death were the same.
The first round of the Inner Pavilion of the Yellow River Gathering was —
Jiang Wang of Qi against Lin Zhengren of Zhuang.
Deng Qi of Mu against Yin Wenhua of Song.
Huang Sheli of Jing against Yelü Zhi of Liao.
Qin Zhizhen of Qin against Xiao Shu of Pill Nation.
Xiang Bei of Chu against Bai Yuxia of Yue.
Dongguo Bao of Wei against Tan Pian of Xia.
Xie of Xue against Huang Su of Liang.
Beigong Ke of Yong. Jiang Shaohua of Shen.
After the first round of battles, the top eight were decided.
The victors were Jiang Wang, Deng Qi, Huang Sheli, Qin Zhizhen, Bei Xiang, Tan Pian, Xie Ai, and Beigong Ke.
It was expected that the Overlord Tianjiao would win first place. Xiao Shu of Pill Nation, Yelü Zhi of Liao, and Yin Wenhua of Song were all beaten up badly. Bai Yuxia of the Yue State, in particular, was punched through by North Xiang. He was saved by Yu Qian's timely rescue.
From this point of view, Lin Zhengren of Zhuang only lost a Blood Ghost, which seemed to be the best result …
Of course, the actual loss could not be calculated like this.
However, Tan Pian, who was looked down upon because he did not care about his reputation, was able to win against Tianjiao of Wei. This surprised many people.
Of course, this was also a kind of luck. Qi of Tianjiao, who should have defeated him in the first round, chose Tianjiao of Zhuang as his opponent instead.
In comparison, Zhuang, who had been in the limelight because of Lin Zhengren, was now disgraced because of Lin Zhengren.
On the other hand, Beigong Ke of Yong successfully made it into the top eight …
This kind of comparison between old rivals was thought-provoking.
When Yong was at its peak, it was able to fight evenly with Jing and did not lose to the current Five Northwest Kingdom Alliance.
However, after Han Yin seized the throne, he did not improve. After a few hundred years of decline, he actually lost the war against Zhuang.
As the grandson of Beigong Yu of Yong and the number one Tianjiao of Yong's younger generation, Beigong Ke shouldered a huge responsibility. It was obvious that he had shouldered this responsibility.
Yong had not seen a spot in the top eight of the Yellow River Conclave in a few hundred years.
The resources that this spot represented were very important to Yong, which was currently under Han Xu's rule.
Han Xu personally initiated a revolution to completely reform Yong and restore or even surpass the glory of Emperor Yong Ming. This required hard work from all sides.
Just the support of the Mohist Sect was not enough. The strength of a country was not as simple as the accumulation of experts and resources. The first thing was to rebuild the confidence of the people of Yong.
The entire country had to believe that a brand new Yong had arrived.
From this perspective, Beigong Ke's achievements at the Yellow River Conclave were significant.
Of course, after reaching the top eight, even a hegemon could not decide their opponent.
Whoever he wanted to teach a lesson to, suppress, or avoid, it all depended on luck.
The eight martial arts arenas had been combined into four.
Yu Qian opened the screen again. The names of the top eight of the Inner Palace shone like stars.
Jiang Wang stared intently at the screen. He was not nervous, only expectant.
He was looking forward to fighting Deng Qi of Mu. He was looking forward to tearing off that person's mask and verifying his wild hope.
He was looking forward to fighting Qin Zhizhen and asking him for an answer about advancing.
He was looking forward to fighting North Xiang and helping Zuo Guangshu vent his anger.
He was looking forward to the killing power of the yellow sarira and seeing what gave him the right to be arrogant.
If he could meet Tan Pian, he also wanted to bear the responsibility of Qi's Tianjiao, suppress Xia, and try to erase Xia's Tianjiao.
Even if all of this was not mentioned …
He and his sword also yearned for a strong opponent.
Anyone who could reach the top eight of the Yellow River Conclave was worthy of him drawing his sword.
Now, his sword was in his hand.
His people were below the stage.
He was waiting for an opponent, no matter who that opponent was.
The list of opponents on the screen was finally fixed.
Jiang Wang of Qi's Tianjiao versus … North Xiang of Chu's Tianjiao!
