Chapter 332 Alliance City Championship, National Tournament Begins

Shangguan Yue, now dressed in a new outfit, looked dashing and heroic.

When she spoke, she was no longer gentle and quiet, but truly became as straightforward as a man from the martial arts world.

"Young Master Lu, let's go."

"Father has made all the arrangements. We'll travel light and get there as quickly as possible."

Lu Chuan immediately looked away and nodded.

Thank you for your trouble.

He then clasped his hands in a fist salute to Shangguan Long.

"Thank you, Patriarch Shangguan. I will remember this kindness."

Shangguan Long smiled and waved his hand.

"Go quickly, and be careful."

The two walked out of the mansion.

Outside the door, only two servants holding horses stood quietly.

The horse is a unique breed from the Western Regions called "Black Wind Steed," with long limbs and extraordinary swiftness.

There were no other guards or attendants.

Lu Chuan was somewhat surprised.

Didn't they say there was a guide?

What about people?

But Shangguan Yue simply mounted her horse with nimble movements, turned her head and smiled slightly at Lu Chuan.

"Young Master Lu, I'm here to show you the way."

"I've been to the outskirts of the Taklamakan Desert several times, so I know the way."

"More people actually slows down the pace."

"let's go."

"it is good."

Lu Chuan immediately mounted his horse and squeezed his legs against its belly.

Instantly.

The horses neighed.

In an instant, they rode swiftly towards the outskirts of Wuji City.

……

Kyoto.

The central authority of the federal government.

After a long period of preliminary selection.

The Federation's Hundred Cities Championship National Tournament is finally about to begin.

In the past few days, participating teams from various provinces of the Federation have been arriving in Kyoto.

This added a somber atmosphere to the bustling city of Kyoto.

The national competition lasts for ten days.

The first few days will be dedicated to competitions between contestants from various provinces.

The final three days are the real finals.

The participating teams from Jiangnan Province and several other major provinces were all accommodated at the Zijing Hotel.

at this time.

A large conference room inside the hotel.

Liu Fuyao sat in the chair.

Sun Miaoyin sat next to her.

The other eight team members also sat around the long table.

The team leader stood at the very front.

"Tomorrow is the first day of the national competition."

The team leader placed his hands on the table, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice.

"I know everyone is under a lot of pressure lately."

"Everyone knows about what happened in the southwest region from the news."

Everyone lowered their heads upon hearing this.

They were all martial artists from the southwest region, and now their hometown was in grave danger, with a major battle possible at any moment.

But they couldn't contribute anything.

These events left everyone feeling resentful and seething.

Liu Fuyao also clenched her fists secretly.

I was extremely worried.

"The demon race has launched a massive invasion, and our homeland is suffering terribly."

"But the people in our hometown are shouldering the burden."

"Your mission now is to demonstrate the might of Jiangnan Province on this field!"

The team members all looked up, their eyes red-rimmed.

"Why."

"You guys shouldn't have too much of a mental burden."

The tutor's tone softened.

"Do your best and go as far as you can."

"As long as you've tried your best, you won't have any regrets, right?"

Everyone agreed in unison.

The instructor adjourned the meeting.

One by one, the crowd stood up and walked out.

Liu Fuyao and Sun Miaoyin walked back to their room together.

"Fuyao, you don't look well."

As soon as she closed the door, Liu Fuyao asked softly.

"I'm fine, just a little tired."

Liu Fuyao shook her head.

In fact, by now, she had long lost interest in participating in any competitions.

"You're worried about Nancheng, aren't you?"

Sun Miaoyin pulled up a chair and sat down opposite her.

"The entire city has been evacuated over there, and we don't know how badly the situation has deteriorated."

"Um."

Liu Fuyao took a deep breath.

"This is only part of it."

The main problem is that she is currently very confused.

A while ago, I suddenly received a call from my mother informing me that her sister wanted to become a nun.

But when she called her sister...

But we couldn't get in touch with them at all.

My sister doesn't answer.

Finally, I blocked her.

This filled Liu Fuyao with immense fear.

Is it...

Did my sister find out something?

She just couldn't tell Sun Miaoyin these things.

They have a good relationship.

But it's not that good yet.

"Get some rest, you have to draw lots tomorrow."

Sun Miaoyin yawned and headed to the restroom.

Liu Fuyao responded.

She also took off her coat and lay down on the bed.

The room fell silent.

Liu Fuyao turned over.

Her mind was filled with Lu Chuan.

They are all masters.

They were all older sisters.

Time passed quickly amidst Liu Fuyao's turbulent and chaotic thoughts.

In the blink of an eye.

It was broad daylight.

The national competition has finally begun.

……

South City.

Martial Arts Association Building.

The conference room on the top floor.

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

Lei Qianjue sat at the head of the long table, his brows furrowed.

In the first position to his left sat Queen Medusa, dressed in a red dress.

Medusa exuded an icy aura.

As a result, no one dared to sit in the seats next to her.

Opposite Medusa was Lu Chuan.

He kept his head down, expressionless, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Nalan Jie and the heads of several other martial arts families sat a little further away.

"Everyone."

After everyone had arrived, Lei Qianjue cleared his throat and broke the silence.

"Take a look at them all."

"This is a message that just arrived."

He casually tossed a few documents onto the table.

Nalan Jie quickly grabbed a document and started looking through it.

The more I looked at it, the more my hands trembled.

"Apart from our southern city, all other cities are currently under constant attack from the demon race."

Lei Qianjue's voice was hoarse.

"The losses were extremely heavy."

"Jiangbei City was attacked last night by a high-level demon spirit, resulting in the deaths of more than thirty martial artists."

"The situation in Lincheng is even worse. A martial arts family was overrun by monsters, resulting in over a hundred casualties."

A collective gasp filled the conference room.

"These beasts have truly gone mad!"

The head of a martial arts family slammed his fist on the table, his eyes bloodshot.

"They're trying to wipe out our southwestern region."

As fellow martial arts families, seeing news of other martial arts families in different cities being overrun by demonic beasts and wiped out, these people all felt a sense of shared sorrow.

In the southern part of the city.

If it weren't for Queen Medusa, they would probably have met the same fate.

Nalan Jie put down the documents and sighed.

"For the time being, there are no major problems in our southern part of the city."

Lei Qianjue shook his head.

"This is only temporary."

The next moment, he looked at Queen Medusa beside him.

"Based on intelligence we obtained from other cities, plus reports from spies of the Martial Arts Association."

"A major incident has occurred beyond the 100,000-mile-long mountain range of the demon realm."

Medusa's eyes flashed.

"What happened?"

"Many demons have become very restless."

"According to intelligence, the demon forces inside the Ten Thousand Mountains are constantly being reorganized."

"A large number of elite monsters are gathering on the outskirts."

Lei Qianjue took a deep breath.

"This time, the real storm is brewing."
