However, NanGong Cheng frowned. Judging from the short contraction on his left cheek, he was a little surprised.

Indeed, South Palace City was very surprised just now!

Because before his laughter had died down, he had clearly felt a gust of wind come from his side, a peaceful gust of wind, more than two zhang away. It was precisely the wind that struck his right hand, which was extended towards the head of the Withering Zen Grandmaster. He was just a fraction away from being able to take down the old monk's head!

What surprised him even more was that Nalan Wanlin, who had clearly used 80% of her power just now, was actually repelled by a strong stream of air without any warning. Looking at Nalan Wanlin's face, she was also extremely surprised!

NanGong City slowly turned his head and saw an old man, a white robed old man!

She was actually smiling at him while he drank his wine.

Other than the Free and Unrestrained Immortal, who else could be so carefree in such an occasion?

The pupils of the Southern Palace began to contract.

He kept recalling the process from before. When did this old fogey come here? He didn't notice anything until he heard the laughter. He only realized that the person was twenty feet away from him?

Southern Palace City was in disbelief!

However, he had no choice but to believe the truth.

"Hahahaha ?" After the laughter passed, the Carefree Immortal had already arrived at the side of the monk. With a wave of his right hand, he patted the monk's back. "Aiya, I say, old monk, why are you so impatient? Can't you wait up to this old man ? hahahaha ?"

Grandmaster Ku Chan suddenly felt an intense surge of true energy pass from the Carefree Immortal to his entire body. He immediately felt at ease! His long eyebrows twitched, and he opened his eyes slightly. He gave his thanks to the Carefree Immortal, but said nothing more.

Nalan Wanlin did not expect that the poison in his body from earlier would be easily neutralized by this bald old man in his eighties or nineties! He didn't see anything else when he saw a flash of white shadow just now!

Nalan Wanlin's face turned as ghastly as a ghost!

He stretched his hands and was about to attack the Carefree Immortal, when suddenly, a mournful scream rang out from outside the manor, followed by a series of faint sounds of killing that shook the heavens!

Nalan Wanlin's expression changed drastically as she turned her face to the side to face South Palace City. However, she discovered that a large bird had already entered South Palace City and was shooting out of the manor like an arrow!

Southern Palace City also heard it. Moreover, that scream just now was the one he was the most familiar with!

It was his people!

South Palace City had arrived above the city gates in a single breath!

The scene in front of him made the Southern Palace City gasp again!

He saw that more than half of his men had died and half were wounded!

Outside of the city gates, silk banners fluttered in the wind, covering half a mile in length. They were Wu Dang, Emei, Kongtong, the Beggar's Gang, Qingcheng, and Mount Hua ?

South Palace City was once again shocked!

Below the city gate, a group of people were fighting passionately. When the first young man in a white robe raised his arms, screams immediately sounded out from around him. The two men in black who were lying in ambush on both sides were burning with flames, rolling on the ground in pain, and the air was immediately filled with a strong smell of sulphur!

NanGong City's eye spout a man-eating fire!

He turned around and waved his hand at the rat. The red, yellow, and black flags on the city walls waved continuously. The black clothed men outside the city gates immediately disappeared without a trace!

With a few kacha sounds, the city gates opened!

A few strange gazes flashed past from the eyes of South Palace City, then their bodies expanded and they rushed towards Iron Sword Villa once again.

The young man in white was also startled. He waved his hand behind him and shouted, "Seniors and brothers, let's go!" He waved his right hand and a banner appeared in his hand. It was written in the words "Central Pine Tang Sect".

The group of people majestically headed towards the Iron Sword Villa!

In a short moment, the Southern Palace City had already rushed to the Iron Sword Villa's martial arena. Before they even had the chance to land, they had almost fallen from the sky!

The place that was previously deserted was suddenly bustling with noise and excitement!

The grandstands had already been set up, and there were a few large chairs arranged around the ring.

Of course there was someone in the chair!

As far as the eyes could see in the Southern Palace, there was actually an iron cicada cloud in the middle of the city!

Next to them were the Free and Unrestrained Immortal, Tie Wushuang, Master Ku Chan, his Third Junior Brother, Tie Rumei, and others. What caused Nan Gong Cheng to be even more shocked was that Xuan Kong, Xuan Jing, and Xuan Yue, who were just lying on the ground a moment ago, seemed to be completely fine at the moment!

NanGong City paused in the air, and then landed beside Nalan Wanlin and Nalan Wanru, looking at the two of them with eyes full of hesitation.

"Humph ?" Nalan Wanlin snorted and then slanted her eyes toward the Southern Palace. "These old fellows are really spirited, but that's also good, this isn't what you hope for the most ?" While speaking, she pointed at the stage, tilted her body, and fell into the bamboo sedan, lazily looking at the stage. However, the look in her eyes was akin to that of a tigress admiring her prey.

He could faintly hear the noise outside. In a moment, he was already outside the school field!

Everyone on the stage stood up.

Tie Xiaoyun strode to the front of the stage, clasped his hands, and said with an excited expression, "Iron Sword Villa welcomes the heroes of the realm who have come to pay their respects as guests. I am honoured and honored! "Everyone, please take your seats as heroes ?" Each word was vigorous and sonorous.

"How did this old man recover so quickly?" NanGong Cheng's face immediately darkened. Even Nalan Wanlin had an expression of disbelief on his face.

After the commotion, the scene became quiet again.

At this moment, the martial field was filled with colorful flags and was bustling with noise and excitement!

Tie Xiaoyun waved his hands, "The annual Martial Arts Competition is about to begin in our village. In the past few years, thanks to the kindness of all the heroes of the world, I am grateful to be able to work with them here ? The purpose of the Martial Arts Competition was to select a person who had both talent and talent. He would be able to lead the martial artists in the world, uphold the principles of martial arts, benefit the martial artists in the world, and bring glory to the martial arts world ?

"..." "Now, let me announce the commencement of the tenth session of the Martial Forest Assembly!"

The audience immediately burst into cheers!

As soon as Tie Xiaoyun's voice fell, he saw a flash of white shadow, and a person leapt two zhang up. With a flick of his hands, he heard a few booming sounds, and immediately the rocks on the mountain wall in front of him flew up together and dust filled the air. The man in white spun in the air, and then landed back on the stage, brushed his white robe, and sat back down on the chair.

Suddenly, thunderous applause could be heard from below the stage. All the heroes stood up and raised their heads to look at the mountain wall as they praised it! On the wall just now, the words "Tenth Martial Meeting" were shockingly displayed! Three points into the rock!

A wave of sighs and sighs rang out from below the stage. Who would have thought that the First Young Master of the Iron Sword Villa was actually so capable!

"Humph!" Southgate City let out a stuffy snort, and a cold light flashed! Beside him, Nalan Wanlin seemed to have fallen asleep and turned a deaf ear to everything that was happening outside.

"Everyone, please be quiet!" Tie Xiaoyun was also very satisfied with Tie Wushuang's performance just now. "The rules of this Martial Arts Competition are the same as before. The winner will enter the next round by drawing lots, with three to two wins. "The competition between the three candidates will be conducted in terms of martial arts, intelligence and character. The final victor will be the new chief of the Martial Forest ?"

"Good!" "Good!" Another round of applause rang out from the audience.

"Now, we invite the esteemed and respected Free and Unrestrained Immortal to draw lots for this Great Assembly ?" Tie Xiaoyun waved his hand and turned towards the Free and Unrestrained Immortal and clasped his hands.

"Hahahahaha ?" With one hand holding the teapot and the other holding his beard, the immortal elder Xiao Yao slowly walked to Iron Lanyun's side. A small wooden box was placed on a large table in front of him.

"Brother Xiao Yao, please ?" Iron Lantern pointed towards the wooden chest on the table.

"Hahahaha, interesting, interesting!" The Carefree Immortal waved his long robe and walked to the front of the table. He raised his head and took a big gulp of wine, and with a flash of his right hand, he retrieved a few bamboo sticks from the wooden box and handed them over to Tie Xiaoyun.

Now, I announce that the drawing of lots for the first round of the Martial Competition ? ? Tie Xiaoyun received the bamboo lots, straightened his face, and said to the audience in a clear voice.

The audience immediately became silent.

"The first group will have Kongtong versus Wudang."

"The second group will have Shaolin versus Emei."

"Wa ? ?!" Hearing this, the audience burst into an uproar again.

"The third group will be formed by Qingcheng versus ?" Tie Xiao Yun suddenly stopped. His expression was somewhat excited. After a long while, he said, "Qing Cheng versus the Blood Demon Palace ?"

Hearing this, the audience became dead silent once again, all of them turned their heads to look towards the South Palace City. As for the white-clothed youth from the Tang Sect in the center of the river, his eyes were blazing with fire. He wanted nothing more than to eat up South Palace City in one gulp.

At this moment, Nalan Wanlin's eyes opened wide, and the corner of his mouth curled into an imperceptible smile.

"The fourth group ? ?" Iron Lantern cleared his throat and continued, "From the Tang Sect in the middle of the Sichuan to the Iron Sword Villa ?"

"..."

"Alright, now the list has been decided. The competition will officially begin tomorrow at noon, and the competition will proceed for six days. The first three days will be the preliminaries, and three contestants will be selected for the finals." "In the end, there will be one victor who will become the chief of the alliance ?"

"During the competition, Iron Sword Villa has already arranged food and lodging for all the heroes of the world. Everyone, please come to the villa to have a meal and rest ? "Rest in good spirits, tomorrow will be the day of martial arts competition!"

"Ah, this Old Villa Master Tie is truly loyal to the heavens. He has thought over everything so thoroughly, as expected of the Iron Sword Villa!"

"Of course! "Of course, there is a reason why we can have nine consecutive alliance chiefs!"

Below the stage, the heroes were filled with excitement and admiration towards Tie Xiaoyun's words. They were all filled with endless praise.

Rui'er, go back to the Manor and tell your family to arrange food and lodging for the heroes, ahh!

"Brother Xiao Yao, please, Grand Master!" He turned around and cupped his hands towards the Carefree Immortal, Master Withered-Zen, and the others before following Tie Xiaoyun into the manor.
