The day of the Golden Scale Club’s first battle.
Teahouses, wine shops, and even roadside stalls in various streets of Nanchu Capital City were already crowded with people. There was a spiritual mirror placed in the middle of the crowd, and everyone was talking about today's competition.
"This year's Golden Scales Conference is truly unique."
"Not only have there been several successors of the Origin Law, but there were also demon species causing trouble in the past few days. Fortunately, Youyun Mansion discovered them in time and destroyed them, otherwise you and I would have suffered."
"And today's leadership battle is even more interesting."
"On the one hand is my Third Prince of Chu, a direct disciple of Qionghua Immortal of Lutai Mountain, the favorite disciple of the Martial God Zhu Huai, and the bearer of the Guishui Spiritual Bone of the Heavenly Rank. He can be said to be the proud son of Heaven."
"Xu Taiping on the other side comes from Zhenwutian, where martial arts are in decline. He is just a cowherd boy in the secular world. His sect may not even be considered third-rate in Youyuntian."
"But these two people are actually competing for the top spot on the Golden Scale Platform today."
"I'm afraid even the best fortune teller can't calculate such a situation!"
In a tea shop, a gray-haired storyteller shook his head and told a group of guests about today's competition.
"Oh, oh, it's coming, it's coming, the distinguished guests invited by the Third Prince to watch the battle are here!"
"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, I can't even see you!"
Suddenly, there was a commotion among the guests in the teahouse and the crowd watching on the street.
"Come and have a look, come and have a look and see who our Da Chu royal family has invited."
The storyteller raised his hand, and the picture on the spiritual mirror in the center of the tea house suddenly enlarged and landed on the attic stand to the east of the Golden Scale Pond, which was closest to the Golden Scale Terrace and was also the most spacious and luxurious.
Although the competition has not yet begun, the monks who can enter to watch the battle have already appeared one after another.
Among them, Youyun Mansion, in accordance with its usual practice, will give the two best stands in the entire Golden Scale Pond to both sides of the leader competition, so that they can invite their friends and relatives to watch the battle.
This in itself is a good thing.
But I don’t know when the two sides started to compete.
The people you invite are becoming more and more distinguished and their cultivation level is getting higher and higher.
As time goes by, before the start of the first try, it has become a regular part of every Golden Scale Club's first try to judge which party invites more distinguished guests and has heavier weights.
"We sincerely welcome His Majesty King Zhao to watch the battle."
"Welcome to His Highness the Crown Prince to watch the battle."
"We sincerely welcome Zhu Huai, the Martial God of Chu, to watch the battle."
At this time, the white-clothed deacon on the side of the third prince of Youyun Mansion kept making respectful sounds.
For Youyun Mansion, this is also a good time to establish good relations with all parties in the world once in decades, and naturally it will not neglect the distinguished guests who come.
"At the invitation of Chu Yinan, the third prince of Southern Chu, the ancestor of the Bai family came to watch the Golden Scales fight."
"At the invitation of Chu Yinan, the third prince of Southern Chu, the ancestors of the Qi family came to watch the Golden Scale Club."
"At the invitation of Chu Yinan, the third prince of Southern Chu, the ancestor of the Zhao family came to watch the Golden Scale Club."
"..."
When hearing these names, the crowd would exclaim from time to time.
Because they found that almost all the major families and immortal sects in Nanchu had arrived.
There were even many well-known monks from other places in the world invited.
This shows the prestige of the Nanchu royal family in the spiritual world today.
Just hearing those names, some monks and drinkers in the restaurant couldn't help but cheer.
In comparison, the stands on Xu Taiping's side were much deserted.
Although many people came, most of them were unknown people, much smaller than those from the Chu royal family.
"Did Zhenwutian Xu Taiping not invite any distinguished guests today?"
"He can't invite you even if he wants to, right?"
"That's true. In the final analysis, he is just a little monk with little background."
"Yes, I see, today's meeting with Your Highness the Third Prince is going to end hastily."
Even in the cultivation world, there are many snobbish eyes. Even though Xu Taiping had an amazing performance in the scene with Mo Crow, after discovering that he had no family background, his words were still full of sarcasm.
These jeers could even be heard by Lu Rushuang and the others who were already sitting in the stands.
Because this stand is not only extremely luxurious, but also, even when the Xuanyun Martial Arts Hall and the group and a few old guys who were once imprisoned in the Nowhere were all sitting in it, it still looked very deserted.
"Rushuang, if I had known earlier, you should have reported the names of our old friends."
An old man sitting across from Lu Rushuang complained a little.
This old man has a gray beard, wears straw sandals on his feet, and wears coarse cloth clothes. He is clearly Wu Tiegu, the ancestor of the Wu family in Southern Chu.
"Yes, even if he is recognized, he won't cause much trouble."
An old woman with a kind face put her arm around Chu Tiancheng's shoulders and said with a smile.
This person is none other than Zhu Lengqiu, the former mountain master of Nanchu Xianli Mountain.
She had put in a lot of effort to deal with the night demon in Golden Toad Valley that day.
"It's better to say goodbye. You guys have just broken through to the Transformation Realm and your realm is not yet stable. It would not be good if your enemies come to you."
Lu Rushuang smiled and shook her head.
"Besides, several friends from Taiping will be here soon. They can just support the scene."
she added with a smile.
"Who are those friends of Taiping you have been talking about? Are they more famous than me?"
Wu Tiegu gave Lu Rushuang a look of disbelief.
"You will know then."
Lu Rushuang chuckled.
Today, all her old friends are here, and she looks much more relaxed.
"Miss, those friends from Taiping are arriving soon."
A Confucian scholar with a sword hanging on his waist walked respectfully to Lu Rushuang and whispered to him in a low voice.
This person's name is Lu Zhuo. Lu Rushuang was sent by her family to protect her before she could practice cultivation. Later, she followed Lu Rushuang and traveled to all places.
Later, Lu Rushuang opened a martial arts gym in Youyun Mansion. In order to cover up others' misunderstandings, the two of them called themselves husband and wife.
After coming out of the Blood Rain Forest seven years ago, Lu Zhuo and the others went into seclusion to break through the realm of transformation. It was not until recently that he came out of seclusion.
"You and I will go down to greet you."
Lu Rushuang was happy when she heard this and stood up immediately.
