Everyone looked at Dean Wu.
"The annual exchange meeting between the two countries is about to begin. The instructor will explain the specific requirements to you carefully on the way. You have also seen the situation this year. It is more intense and cruel than in previous years. Our Baiyun country can only win. No defeat is allowed, the winner will be granted the title of Holy Son, the three generations of the family will be made princes, and will be rewarded with a third-grade elixir and one hundred spiritual stones..."
Dean Wu’s voice was passionate and high-pitched. This year’s exchange meeting was very different from previous years.
Because this year is about the life and death of Baiyun Country.
Failure means the destruction of the country.
These proud men here will also be trampled on by the iron hoofs of other countries.
Their families, their wives, their friends, their children, no one survived.
Therefore, this battle is all-or-nothing.
What more people hear is the reward. Whoever can reach the end and win the championship for Baiyun Kingdom will receive a third-grade elixir as a reward.
In addition, there are a hundred spiritual stones and many other rewards.
What's more important is that with the title of Marquis of a different surname, the family's status will rise with the tide.
For Chen Xiao, these rewards are dispensable. He can refine third-grade elixirs by himself.
For these ordinary people, third-grade elixirs are enough to drive them crazy.
Baiyun Kingdom has not seen third-grade elixirs for many years. In the last month, for some reason, third-grade elixirs have appeared frequently.
Especially these students present, their clansmen and families have been living in Baiyun Country for generations. How can they let the enemy's iron hoofs trample on the heads of their families?
Everyone's blood is boiling, and the time has come to shed blood for the country.
Only Chen Xiao showed no signs of movement on his face, and turned a deaf ear to the roars around him.
"Okay, let's go now!"
Dean Wu gave an order, indicating that they were ready to set off. They should first go to the National Protector's Hall to gather. The specific departure time would be arranged by the National Protector.
The National Protector will also go there to observe the whole process.
The main thing is to protect the safety of these students. They are the hope of the future of Baiyun Country.
The National Protector's Hall is not in the capital, but is built deep in the mountains. In normal times, few people go there.
Under the leadership of dozens of instructors, a group of thirty students walked towards the main hall of the Protector of the Nation.
After passing through numerous mountains, more than an hour later, a huge palace appeared in front of them.
There are thirty students, more than half of whom participated in last year's exchange meeting, and are spreading the knowledge of the exchange meeting to some rookies around them.
Chen Xiao did not interrupt, but listened quietly.
From their conversations, we basically understood the overall situation of the exchange meeting.
The process is very simple. The final champion will be determined through a series of arena matches.
Simple, direct, decisive and brutal.
"Ahead is the National Protector's Hall, everyone calmed down their expressions and maintained a solemn look.
The leading instructor said something at this time, and the surrounding chatter disappeared.
The National Protector silently protects the Baiyun Kingdom. Over the years, countless masters have come to invade, but all of them have been eliminated by the National Protector.
The most serious one was the sudden attack by Tian Xinchang, the protector of the Qingyuan Kingdom, half a year ago.
In the end, Wang Cang was successfully repelled.
That battle was very fierce, and Chen Xiao was lucky enough to witness the second half.
It was also at that time that I met Wang Cang and almost died from his flying sword.
The palace is very large, but also very empty. Except for a few children in green clothes, no one else can be seen here.
"Everyone, please come with me. The Protector has been waiting for a long time."
A young boy in green clothes was already waiting outside the main hall, leading everyone towards the depths of the main hall.
Entering the main hall, there are dragons and phoenixes carved inside, and four huge pillars support the entire hall.
A stone sculpture carved by a blue dragon is placed under the east pillar, and the pillar presses on the back of the blue dragon.
On the west side is a sculpture of a white tiger, with the white tiger sitting on its back at the bottom of the pillar.
To the south is a red bird mythical beast, built in the same way as the green dragon and white tiger.
To the north is Xuanwu, a huge turtle whose back seems to hold up the entire hall.
This palace can only be described as tall and majestic. It is much taller than the Jinluan Palace in Baiyun Kingdom.
"Why didn't you see the National Protector?"
After entering the main hall, they found that the Protector was not here, and many students whispered.
In their hearts, the National Protector is a god-like figure who can soar between heaven and earth.
"The Protector of the Nation is at the mourning platform. Everyone, please go this way."
The boy in green clothes continued to lead them through the main hall and to a strangely built garden.
There are many trees planted in the garden, neatly arranged, and there is a tombstone carved in front of each tree.
There are a lot of words written on the tombstones, like epitaphs, but they are too far apart to clearly read the words on them.
An old man stood in the middle of the garden, his back facing them.
Looking from the back, there is a sense of loneliness and a hint of desolation.
A gust of cold wind blew over, and the surrounding trees made a rustling sound, as if one could feel the vicissitudes of life in the Protector's body.
"Guardian, they are all here."
The boy in green led them to the edge of the garden, walked quickly behind the Protector, and whispered.
Even the students who participated last year were confused. They had never been here last year!
It was the first time for everyone present to come to this place.
"Do you know where this place is?"
The Protector turned around, his face a little pale.
Only Chen Xiao knew that Wang Cang was poisoned and was already dying.
In that battle that day, the Qingyuan Kingdom Protector actually used poison to frame Wang Cang.
The instructors stayed in the main hall, and the thirty students shook their heads blankly, being very unfamiliar with this place.
"A total of one hundred and five people are buried here. Some of them, like you, participated in exchange meetings between the two countries and never came back. Some are generals who died in the battles between the two countries. After their bodies were brought back, they were all buried here."
Wang Cang pointed to the trees around him. Each tree represented an undead spirit.
They fought for the country and died for the country.
Everyone is in a heavy mood. The Baiyun Kingdom is what it is today, thanks to the ancestors who used their own blood to create the peace today.
now!
The iron hooves of other countries have stepped on the neck of Baiyun Kingdom.
There is only one way before them, to kill the thieves who want to trample Baiyun Kingdom.
"Everyone, take a look around. There may be your relatives, your family members, and your tribe here. Pay your condolences to them."
Wang Cang motioned for them to move freely and brought them here today to awaken the anger in their hearts.
"He is my cousin. He went to war with the army, killed 1,500 enemies, and finally died on the battlefield."
A Juyuan Jiuzhong was kneeling in front of a tombstone.
Because every tombstone is engraved with the glorious deeds of our ancestors.
Chen Xiao walked to a tombstone with a strange name, but the words inside made Chen Xiao's blood boil.
"How do you feel?"
At some point, Wang Cang appeared behind Chen Xiao and asked softly.
"Want to kill someone!"
Chen Xiao didn't hide anything. Not only did he want to kill people, everyone present wanted to kill all the enemies.
"Killing to stop killing is certainly a good way, but it is definitely not a long-term solution. Whether it is governing the country or the world, or the path of martial arts, the only way is to be strong."
Wang Cang said seriously.
Today you kill a hundred of his people, and tomorrow he kills a thousand of yours. The killing will never stop.
Unless you reach a height beyond the opponent's reach and are not even qualified to look up to you, there will naturally be no killing.
Chen Xiao nodded, as if he had a clear understanding in his heart. He was also blinded by hatred just now.
When people are passionate, it is indeed easy to do impulsive things.
Other students were walking through the garden, with only Chen Xiao and Wang Cang standing there.
There were no ancestors of Chen Xiao, no friends of Chen Xiao, and no relatives of Chen Xiao, so Chen Xiao stood there quietly.
"Senior, is the poison in your body okay?"
Chen Xiao asked at this time.
