Early the next morning, the sun rose from the east, casting billions of rays of golden light that enveloped the entire Song Mountain in a pale golden halo.
Everyone woke with the morning sunlight and beca excited, knowing the Wu Lin Conference was about to begin.
Bong!
A long and sonorous bell sound resonated at the mountaintop, enveloping the whole Song Mountain, the ancient and aged sound echoing in everyone’s ears.
"It’s starting, the Wu Lin Conference is about to begin!"
"Hurry to watch."
"I wonder how many heroes will erge in this Wu Lin Conference."
The people beca invigorated, transforming into rays of light rushing toward Songshan Fengshan Platform, and for a mont, the entire majestic Song Mountain was filled with the sound of wind whipping through, exceedingly grand.
Xiao Zheng also opened his eyes and stood up. He was not in a hurry, walking unhurriedly toward the Sealing Altar. After all, the tournant would last from dawn till dusk, so there was no need to rush.
He looked like a handso young man, dressed casually as if he were a tourist visiting Song Mountain.
"Hey, brother, you’re here for this Wu Lin Conference too? How about we go together, better to have company." At this mont, a voice suddenly rang in Xiao Zheng’s ear.
Xiao Zheng turned and saw the speaker was also a man, not too old but very robust, with a deanor of a hearty man, giving an impression of being straightforward and jovial.
"Hmm." Xiao Zheng nodded lightly.
"Hahaha, my na is Zhong Genshuo, and you?" The burly man laughed.
"Xiao Leng." Xiao Zheng casually gave a false na.
Zhong Genshuo laughed, "Brother Xiao Leng, you don’t seem in a hurry at all? Everyone else is rushing to the Sealing Altar."
Xiao Zheng glanced at him and said, "Aren’t you the sa?"
"Heh heh heh..." At this mont, Zhong Genshuo sneered, "Actually, there is a reason for my actions."
"Oh?"
Zhong Genshuo’s lips ford a hint of mockery, "The Evil God just fell not long ago, and now everyone is hastily convening the Wu Lin Conference to elect the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch. This behavior is truly nauseating! If it wasn’t for certain reasons forcing to watch, I wouldn’t go to that damned place."
Xiao Zheng heard this and looked at the burly man with slight surprise. He hadn’t expected this person to dare express such an opinion at odds with the masses to a stranger.
"Brother, are you frightened?" Zhong Genshuo casually smiled.
Xiao Zheng shook his head, "People have different thoughts, nothing surprising."
Zhong Genshuo sighed, "Indeed, people have different thoughts. It’s just that sotis the differences in those thoughts are truly chilling."
Within Xiao Zheng’s heart erged a warm feeling. It seed there were still so in the Martial Arts World who hadn’t forgotten the Evil God.
He then lightly laughed, "Coldness is useless. Martial artists endure countless hardships to attain their goals. It’s the sa with other matters. If you believe the current world doesn’t align with your wishes, strive to change it."
Zhong Genshuo was dumbfounded upon hearing this, then his expression turned serious, "Brother, your words have truly enlightened . Thank you!" Saying this, he bowed deeply to Xiao Zheng on the mountain path.
Upon rising, there was a change in his eyes, with a hint of resolve hidden within.
Xiao Zheng smiled.
The two walked and talked until they reached the Sealing Altar.
The Sealing Altar was vast. Taishan was the ancient imperial site for heavenly sacrifices; this Sealing Altar was constructed by emperors throughout history, accommodating thousands without any issues.
However, at the mont, the Sealing Altar was a sea of people, nearly overflowing. Countless martial artists gathered here, a teeming mass with discussions like tides of noise.
The scale of this Wu Lin Conference was many tis larger than the sect conference held previously on Qingcheng Mountain.
At the center of the Sealing Altar, there were nine platforms arranged in a line. Further away were stands with many prominent figures, including high monks from the Great Sound Buddha Sect hosting the Wu Lin Conference.
Xiao Zheng arrived and cast a deep glance toward the direction of the stands.
At the center of the stands sat a monk. Despite being very old, he had abundant vitality and even bore a compassionate expression on his face.
He was the Divine Monk from the Great Sound Buddha Sect, the most pivotal figure hosting this Wu Lin Conference, Xuanyin Monk!
"I didn’t expect such an outworldly sect of Buddha to harbor ambitions to unify the Martial Arts World and deploy such vicious sches."
Xiao Zheng coldly laughed inwardly.
Bong!
Suddenly, at this mont, the bell rang once more on the Sealing Altar.
The bustling crowd instantly quieted down; on the vast Sealing Altar, thousands of martial artists beca so silent that even a pin drop could be heard.
Xuanyin Monk stood up from the stands, put his palms together, and uttered an Amitabha before saying, "Heroes, the election for the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch candidate will now begin! The rules are simple. Whoever can guard the platform from morning till dusk is the winner. During this process,
anyone can challenge. Once a challenge is successful, they beco the platform master."
After speaking, Xuanyin Monk sat down and closed his eyes.
On the Sealing Altar, the thousands of martial artists then erupted, the noise of their discussions surging skyward.
"It’s finally starting! I’m really looking forward to it. Wonder what kind of experts will erge this ti!"
"Rumor has it, Flying Swordman, Tu Lanhua, and Copper Stick Long Tao, legendary loose cultivators, will make a move."
"What of it, there are even those grand sect masters and secluded elders from martial arts sanctuaries!"
"Heh heh, it’s been a long ti since the Martial Arts World stirred like this."
"..."
Amidst the discussions, a figure suddenly soared into the sky from the crowd, landing on the first platform.
This person was a young man, exuding powerful energy all over, with a prideful look in his eyes and brows.
"I am the new Sect Leader of Fierce Tiger Sect, participating in the election of the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch. Who among you dares challenge?" The young man shouted loudly, his voice was so resonant it suppressed all the noise of the square.
Clearly, despite his youth, his strength was not weak.
