#345 - The five major families, the martial arts competition begins
Ink Wave, who had been sent flying, climbed out of the pit, suddenly spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper.
“Hiss.”
Instantly, everyone around was staring in astonishment at Lin Yun, who stood there with his hands behind his back. After a long while, the crowd gradually recovered, and a slightly shocked commotion spread out.
“Damn, I didn’t even see how he made his move.”
“Me neither.”
“This guy has terrifying strength.” The three elders of the Gu family, Gu Ling, re-evaluated Lin Yun, then exchanged glances, all seeing a hint of shock in each other's eyes.
They hadn't seen how that punch was thrown either.
Just as everyone was shocked, an old man slowly walked out from behind the crowd, smiling and saying, “Xiao Yan, it seems you have indeed found a good helper this time.”
“Elder, Elder Gu Shuo!” Upon seeing this person appear, the Gu family disciples all bowed to the old man.
Gu Shuo gently waved his hand, looked at Lin Yun, and said, “Haha, young friend, our Gu family will have to rely on you a lot for this martial gathering.”
Lin Yun smiled and said, “Rely is too much to say. I only need the quota for the Primordial Pagoda.”
Hearing this, Gu Shuo pondered for a moment and then said, “If our Gu family can truly win the championship, one of the three quotas for the Primordial Pagoda will belong to you.”
Hearing his words, Lin Yun nodded and smiled slightly.
“It seems that as long as one is strong enough, these old guys can still be drawn out, which saves a lot of trouble.”
Seeing that the other party did not respond to his words, Gu Shuo smiled and said, “The martial gathering will only begin tomorrow. Please, young friend Lin Yun, have a good rest today.”
As he spoke, he beckoned to Gu Yan.
Gu Yan understood and led Lin Yun towards the Gu family's guest room.
After Lin Yun left, the surrounding Gu family disciples finally burst into whispers.
“This Lin Yun is not simple. I really don’t know where he came from. I haven’t heard of such a figure among the younger generation in the Tianfeng Sea Domain?”
“Indeed, could it be that he is not from here?”
“…”
Gu Ling and the other two Gu family elders also came to Gu Shuo's side. One of the Gu family elders asked, “Elder, what do you think of his strength? Can he help us win the championship of the martial gathering?”
Gu Shuo chuckled, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, “His strength is much stronger than Mo Tao’s. As for the championship, we will know when the time comes.”
The reason why he was not sure was because he could not see through Lin Yun's strength.
“But the quota for the Primordial Pagoda…”
“If we really win the championship of the martial gathering, what harm is there in giving him a quota?” After Gu Shuo finished speaking, he chuckled. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he saw Mo Tao, who had just climbed out of the pit, and instructed the Gu family disciples next to him, “Carry him back.”
After instructing them, he turned around and left.
The next day, as the warm sunlight poured down, this vast martial gathering island suddenly became lively, and all kinds of noisy sounds gathered together, soaring into the sky.
In the center of the martial gathering island, there was an extremely magnificent giant mountain. At this time, this giant mountain was already filled with the boiling voices of people. At the top of the mountain, there were many platforms that had been divided, which looked particularly spectacular.
When Lin Yun and his group arrived here, the surroundings of the mountain top were already a sea of people.
In the sky above, there were still sounds of breaking through the air from time to time, and figures fell quickly.
“The martial gathering is just a competition between warriors from all sides. It is for the five great families to scout for strong individuals and invite them to become guardians and offer them positions.”
“Because the five great families offer high salaries, many strong individuals hope to be noticed by them.”
Lin Yun and his group landed on the mountain top, and then slowly walked towards the Gu family's seat. During this period, Gu Yan also introduced the detailed purpose of this martial gathering to Lin Yun.
When the group arrived at the Gu family's seat, a pale-faced person bowed slightly towards him.
“This is Big Brother Yun Tian.” Gu Yan introduced.
Lin Yun nodded and bowed slightly in return.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Gu Yuntian looking towards a place, his face becoming extremely ugly.
Following his line of sight, Lin Yun's eyes also narrowed slightly.
“The Wei family's people…”
As his gaze swept over, Gu Yan next to you whispered, "The knife-carrying man is Wei Zhen of the Wei family, a minor achievement in the Life Profound Realm. The person next to him is Ghost Spear Chen Luo, the eldest disciple of Old Man Evil Bone."
“The eldest disciple of Old Man Evil Bone should be that Xu Yun’s senior brother, but he is a bit weak.”
Thinking this, Lin Yun slowly withdrew his gaze from Chen Luo's body, and then sat down in the Gu family's seat, waiting for the start of the martial gathering.
Seeing this, Chen Luo on the opposite side smiled indifferently, not caring at all.
“That is the murderer who killed Brother Xu Yun, Brother Chen Luo, don’t be angry, he can’t escape.” Wei Zhen glanced at Lin Yun and smiled.
“That trash was not skilled enough, so he died. However, he is my junior brother after all, so I still have to avenge this.” Chen Luo said with a smile, without any emotion in his words.
Wei Zhen smiled lightly and nodded, his gaze swept across the arena, and then said, “Now, the other families cannot compete with my Wei family, but there are still some troubles if we want to win the championship.”
Hearing this, a solemn look also appeared in Chen Luo's eyes.
His gaze raised and looked towards the top of the mountain, where there was also a wide square, and at the end of the square, there was an ancient stone tower that could only be seen halfway, faintly, there was an ancient and desolate aura slowly emanating.
That is the Primordial Pagoda, and there is also a Shura guarding there, the Tu family, Iron Shura Shen Tu Jue.
“That blue-clothed man is Song Chen of the Song family, and not far from him is the Su family. The leader is Su Yan, both of whom are at the peak of minor achievement in the Life Profound Realm…”
In the following time, the other two families also appeared one after another, and Gu Yan also introduced them with great patience.
After Lin Yun glanced over, he withdrew his gaze. He didn't care about these people at all now. His purpose here was only one, to win the championship of the martial gathering and enter the Primordial Pagoda.
Time passed slowly in that boiling atmosphere, but the martial gathering did not start immediately.
Under the control of the five great families, there were also some strong individuals from all sides competing and fighting on the many platforms. Many strong individuals wanted to show their strength here to attract the recruitment of the five great families.
Although this would lose some freedom, it would be able to obtain quite superior cultivation conditions, which can be said to be a fair transaction.
Lin Yun was not very interested in these competitions, so he directly closed his eyes to rest.
When the sun in the sky began to slowly set, a majestic voice came from mid-air in the square.
“The martial gathering is held once a year, so I don’t need to say more about the rules. It’s still the same, draw lots to determine opponents, each family sends three people.”
