I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

This time, Lu Xuan and Xu Jing were only there as guests.

So they were led to the martial arts arena, where all the seats had already been arranged.

Originally, Li Wei wanted to arrange a seat for Lu Xuan near the front, but when the topic came up, Lu Xuan waved his hand and refused.

After all, if nothing happens at the venue, Lu Xuan doesn't need to take action; he can simply remain hidden behind the scenes.

I'm just here to watch the show.

They didn't intend to cause much of a commotion.

Unless the other party wants to have a contest.

"The venue is covered by a large array, making it warm in winter and cool in summer. Even with so many people crowded together, it doesn't feel hot."

Lu Xuan looked up.

Faint array runes appeared in the void.

The existence of this array inscription.

This also demonstrates the profound foundation of the Qinghe Sword Sect.

Perhaps even the Qinghe Sword Sect doesn't have the strength to inscribe such a formation.

But it also proves their past glory.

The Qinghe Sword Sect used to be able to achieve this level.

Quite a few people had already taken their seats.

At this moment, in the stands opposite Lu Xuan and the others, there was a row of very good seats with a great view and without feeling crowded.

Those sitting in the stands were the elders of the Qinghe Sword Sect, as well as Xiong Wei and others from the Golden Light Sect.

Clearly, the only people present who were qualified to sit on this platform were those from the Golden Light Sect.

The flags of the Golden Light Sect were also hung up and were fluttering in the wind.

This demonstrates the prestigious status of the Golden Light Gate.

"Even the Golden Light Sect has sent people; the Qinghe Sword Sect certainly has a lot of influence."

"Yes, I remember that the Qinghe Sword Sect didn't seem to have much contact with the Golden Light Sect in the past."

"Who knows? Who wouldn't want to be able to latch onto a powerful force like the Golden Light Sect?"

"That's true. With the Golden Light Sect's protection, the Qinghe Sword Sect will have endless good days ahead."

Everyone was discussing it.

After the time is almost up.

The Qinghe Sword Sect did not waste anyone's time.

An elder named Dai Yuan appeared, exchanged a few flattering words with everyone present, and said a few polite phrases.

This signifies the official start of today's event.

In the past, Lu Xuan only read books, and all he saw were main characters who defeated their opponents one by one.

Unexpectedly, one day I would be watching this sect competition from such an outsider's perspective.

It's clear that their mindset is different.

Lu Xuan and Xu Jing sat in these seats as if they were watching a lively drama.

This sect leader challenge match was also very interesting.

First, there was a sword dance performance.

It was mainly these disciples of the Qinghe Sword Sect, practicing their sword moves in unison on the arena.

They were demonstrating their strength to everyone.

This synchronized practice of sword moves is indeed pleasing to the eye and even conveys a sense of grandeur.

After the sword moves were practiced.

There will also be some candidates who are just there to make up the numbers.

They competed in front of everyone to warm up the atmosphere.

"These are all just warm-up acts."

"However, the battle between the two candidates is usually saved for last."

"Before that, the candidate needs to accept challenges from three people out of everyone present."

"After the winner is determined, the final showdown between the two candidates will take place."

Xu Jing said.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Lu Xuan leaned on a dove-shaped cane.

This dove-shaped staff was commissioned by Shen Yue and then given to Lu Xuan.

On the one hand, it would make it easier for Lu Xuan to walk, and on the other hand, it would also highlight Lu Xuan's status as an elder.

This was truly the first time Lu Xuan had ever seen such a method.

Of course.

The so-called acceptance of challenges from everyone present was basically just a formality.

Each school and sect will send a representative figure to compete and exchange skills. Everything will be done in moderation, just to give everyone a chance to show their faces and get to know each other.

No one would actually beat someone to death.

Even if you win, they can't possibly let you become the sect leader of the Qinghe Sword Sect.

Wouldn't that offend the Qinghe Sword Sect?

Therefore, the preceding steps are essentially a showcase of one's network.

In this way, the sect leader can demonstrate his network of connections to these martial arts factions, showing them what kind of people he can invite to participate in exchanges.

"That leaves a lot of room for maneuver."

A glint of light flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes.

"It shouldn't be that bad... The most important thing is probably the final showdown."

Xu Jing was unaware of the internal situation of the Qinghe Sword Sect.

Seeing Lu Xuan's serious expression, he couldn't help but begin to have doubts.

On the stands.

Yang Kai was dressed in a magnificent and dazzling blue-black robe.

His posture and demeanor seemed to indicate that he was now the sect leader of the Qinghe Sword Sect.

Furthermore, Yang Kai also had a very pleasant conversation with Xiong Wei of the Golden Light Sect.

"Hehe, Young Master Xiong, it's been a long time. Were you satisfied with the little gifts I prepared for you in the county town last time?"

Yang Kai looked at Xiong Wei and said.

When Xiong Wei heard Yang Kai mention the "little gift," his eyes lit up, and he seemed to perk up completely.

"Hmm... I am very satisfied."

Xiong Wei nodded, and then continued.

"Don't worry, I've already made all the arrangements."

"For the first two matches, let's start with something simple: people from Black Cloud Sect and Hongwei Martial Arts School will be playing."

"Let's wear her down."

"In the third match, I will send my men up there and beat her to a pulp."

"Then you go on stage and reap the rewards."

After Xiong Wei finished speaking, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Today's events gave him a feeling.

With his status, he could easily stir up a storm of his own.

Under his influence, the position of sect leader of the Qinghe Sword Sect will also fall to Yang Kai.

Although this was inevitable, he was the one who orchestrated the entire operation.

This feeling is also very different.

There was also a subtle sense of control over the world.

"By the way, before we came here, the higher-ups said that Li Wei cannot die; she must be brought into our Golden Light Sect."

Xiong Wei suddenly remembered something and said.

Li Wei was ultimately one of the two beauties among the sword immortals.

In terms of talent and appearance, she is a rare find in this world.

Such a person would be quite popular in the Golden Light Sect, and there is clearly a big shot in the Golden Light Sect who has already taken a liking to Li Wei.

After Li Wei failed to compete for the position of sect leader this time, it was naturally impossible for her to continue to stay in Qinghe Sword Sect. Instead, she would be sent away under some pretext. In that case, it would be better to bring her to the Golden Light Sect to pay tribute to the important figures there.

A hint of resentment flashed in Yang Kai's eyes.
