Three days passed in a flash, and under the attention of everyone, the Book and Sword Conference was grandly opened in Xingyuan.
Xingyuan is a very large garden. It is named Xingyuan because there are many apricot trees in the garden.
Xingyuan is particularly lively today. Countless young people have flocked from all over to Xingyuan to participate in this year's Book and Sword Conference.
In the middle of the apricot garden, there is a huge palace, which is already full of people, and these people are the ones who come to participate in the Book and Sword Conference.
This year's Book and Sword Conference was unprecedented in grandeur. There was an endless stream of people coming here, and there were not enough seats. So, the people at the back simply found an empty space and sat there, waiting for the Book and Sword Conference to officially begin.
Most of the seats on the east side were occupied by people from Dongxuan Territory, and among these people, the people from Beichen Academy sat a little to the left.
"There are many people coming from our Dongxuan Territory this time. Basically all the powerful people are here."
Xia Youlan looked at everyone, and among them, she found Meng Chong, Lu Mengzheng, Lu Junyi and others, all of whom were here. These people were the best in their Dongxuan Domain, representing the peak level of the younger generation in their Dongxuan Domain.
After half a year, all of them have made great progress in their cultivation and strength. Some of them have already broken through the Dragon Transformation Realm and become Dragon Transformation Realm powerhouses. As for others, although they have not broken through the Dragon Transformation Realm, their strength has definitely increased compared to the time of the Immortal Holy Land Exchange Conference.
Hou Junji said: "Part of the reason is due to the influence of the Immortal Path Holy Land Exchange Conference half a year ago, and part of it is due to the influence of the treasures in the ancient ruins."
At the last Book and Sword Conference, because it was too close to the Immortal Holy Land Exchange Conference in their Dongxuan Domain, most of them did not come, which led to them being criticized at the Book and Sword Conference. People from other places even humiliated their Dongxuan Domain in person, saying that their Dongxuan Domain could not produce young strong people. When the news got back to their Dongxuan Domain, everyone was indignant. In addition, there was news that a large number of treasures were discovered here, so they all came here, on the one hand to look for treasures, and on the other hand to regain their Dongxuan Domain’s place and wash away the shame.
"It would be better if you didn't mention the ancient ruins. It makes me sad when you mention them."
Xia Youlan's expression suddenly became sad. The reason for this was that the genius that had not been seen in a thousand years in their Beichen Academy died in the ancient ruins and was killed alive by Yinglong. Whenever she thought of this, she felt very sad in her heart.
Seeing her like this, Hou Junji knew that she was thinking of Wu Chen and sighed in his heart. There was no doubt that Wu Chen was a rare genius in their Beichen Academy who had not been seen for a thousand years. He was an expert in both alchemy and cultivation. He had won the championship in their Dongxuan Domain's Alchemist Conference and the Immortal Holy Land Exchange Conference. His skills were superior to all others and no one could deny him or match him.
It's just a pity that God is jealous of talented people. Such an outstanding person eventually died in the ancient ruins and became a ghost in the ancient ruins.
"Senior Sister, I believe he must still be alive."
On the side, Shun Yan said firmly that she knew Wu Chen very well and Wu Chen would definitely not die so easily.
"Junior sister, it's already this late, and you're still comforting me."
Xia Youlan said that she knew that her junior sister said this on purpose to comfort her. She said this every time. However, until now, there was still no news from Wu Chen. She knew without thinking that he was definitely in danger.
Shun Yan said no more. Xia Youlan thought that she was comforting her, but in fact, she had a very strong intuition that Wu Chen must still be alive.
Now, the Book and Sword Conference has not officially started yet, and everyone is chatting in groups of three or five. As they chat, their topic turns to Dong Xuanyu and their side.
"It seems that there are quite a lot of people coming from the East Xuan Territory this time. There must be at least a hundred of them."
"What kind of young strong men can come from that place? Without some real strong men, it will be useless no matter how many people come."
"Haha, that's not the case. Having more people here will always be beneficial. At least it can make up the numbers."
"Hahaha, yes, just to make up the numbers, to pretend to be rich, hahaha."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Dongxuan Region was filled with indignation. These people were really going too far. They humiliated them, the Dongxuan Region, wantonly and simply did not take them, the Dongxuan Region, seriously.
Some people even couldn't help it and stood up from their seats, wanting to rush out and fight these people for three hundred rounds to tell them that they, the Dongxuan Region, were not soft persimmons that could be bullied by others.
Fortunately, most people were relatively calm and they stopped these people because the Book and Sword Conference was about to begin. Once it officially started, they would have plenty of opportunities to fight with people from other places.
“Haha, there are a lot of people.”
At the entrance, Wu Chen and Yue Qingzhu arrived late together.
"It seems that the news is correct. This year's Book and Sword Conference is indeed a prosperous one."
The two of them walked together, side by side, and slowly entered the field.
As soon as the two of them came in, they immediately caused a sensation.
"These two people? No, it's impossible."
"What's wrong with you? Did you see a ghost?"
"You know what, I really saw a ghost."
"Don't scare me, I was just joking with you."
"No, look at these two people, help me see if my eyes are blurry."
"Which two people?"
"It's the man and woman who came in through the door. Look."
"Let me see, oh my god, it's a ghost."
There was a sudden scream in the field, and everyone was looking at the two people who were walking side by side, all with an expression as if they had seen a ghost.
"How is it possible? They are already dead. How can they still be alive?"
"No, it's absolutely impossible. Even a creature as powerful as Yinglong can't come out of that place. There's absolutely no way they can come out."
"Could it be that both of them are transformed by Yinglong? I heard that the reason why Yinglong captured them was that he wanted to take over their bodies so that he could be reborn and break out of the seal."
"It must be so. It can only be so."
There was a great uproar in the place, with people talking and speculating.
"What happened to these people?"
The people from Dongxuan Region were all very surprised, because these people were just talking about their Dongxuan Region, but now they suddenly changed the topic, and each of them had a strange expression, as if they had seen a ghost.
