Chapter 96: Incident (First Order)
The so-called major sects would send their disciples out to show support for the Huolong Villa by signing up for the competition, putting on a beautiful fight, and then stepping down when they felt they were almost there.

In this way, the value of the recruitment conference held at Hulong Villa will be increased.

For the young disciples from various sects, this event is also a good opportunity to exchange martial arts, make friends, improve martial arts skills, and become famous.

Normally, there are many disciples sent by the main sect, so when to go on stage, when to step down, and who will fight with whom requires a certain plan.

Only with proper planning can we make this conference beautiful and achieve win-win results for all parties.

But the reality is often not so beautiful.

Because no matter how perfect the plan is, when there are too many people, there will inevitably be some kind of changes, such as this person is late, that person is addicted to playing, A insists on playing with B, C suddenly wants to go to the toilet during the game...

Therefore, on the surface, there must be someone who is the best in the world to control the situation; secretly, there must be someone in the audience talking to the parents of each disciple, hinting at what should and should not be done.

In the arena, Zhou Zhiruo had won seventeen consecutive matches brilliantly, and among the onlookers, she also earned the reputation of "a peerless genius who defeats all the heroes".

Since then, Emei finally gained pride and glory.

In the eyes of the public, the humiliation of "the sect was attacked by a group of heroes, the leader was beaten to death, and the court ordered that no action should be taken" was considered to be acceptable in terms of face.

But Zhou Zhiruo couldn't just retreat like that. The record gained from 17 consecutive victories couldn't be wasted, and the best way to utilize it was to use it as a cushion for others.

The one who stepped on her to get to the top this time was Gao Yanan.

As soon as Gao Yanan came on stage, she used Taihua's rare sword moves, 'Thirteen Swords of Qingfeng', to counter Zhou Zhiruo's 'Willow Catkins Sword Technique'. The two fought for more than 800 moves on the stage, and were evenly matched.

In the end, because Gao Yanan had more experience, more sophisticated swordsmanship, stronger internal strength, and was in better condition, she took over the position of champion, and Zhou Zhiruo won honorably despite her defeat.

After that, Gao Yanan defeated more than ten people in a row before she found an excuse to leave the ring.

The battle between the female swordsmen on this side had just ended, and the competition between the male swordsmen began on the other side.

The two sides in the battle were Murong Shengxue and Linghu Chong. One used the "Xiaoxiang Thirteen Swords" and the other used the "Dugu Nine Swords". The fight was also very close.

At noon, Lu Ping went out to have a meal nearby and took a break.

The fight in the afternoon was even more intense.

Not long after Lu Ping came back from dinner, the Wudang-Shaolin fight between Zhang Wuji and Ming Buxiang, the Qingcheng-Kunlun fight between Shen Weichen and Yang Menghuan, the Guyue-Diancang fight between Li Xiuru and Xie Xiaodi…

It's really exciting!

All of the above were the more interesting fights that Lu Ping saw, but for others like Song Qingshu fighting Ding Minjun, Yue Lingshan fighting Ren Yingying, etc., he was too lazy to even take a look at them.

Among them, when Lu Ping saw Li Xiuru fighting on behalf of the Guyue faction, he was almost stunned.

It took him a long time to come to his senses. The Gu Yue sect in this world was not destroyed by the demons, so the child stayed in Gu Yue and inherited the Gu Yue swordsmanship with peace of mind, and was not accepted as a disciple by the Underworld Doctor.

By the time the disciples from these major sects had taken their turns to go into battle, it was already dusk.

As the sun sets, the final four are decided.

None of the four people occupying the arena at this time came from a big sect, because the disciples of the big sects had all finished their performances, and some were even busy recruiting students for their own sects.

The four people on the stage were all very young independent men. Lu Ping knew two of them. One was Li Xunhuan’s apprentice Ye Kai, and the other was He Wentian’s apprentice Zhang Yinxian.

As for the other two, Lu Ping had never heard of their names, so he didn't pay attention to them.

The recruitment meeting will last for three consecutive days. The first day is only for deciding the top four. In the next two days, the guests from the world's number one village will test the four selected people in terms of civil and military affairs, wisdom and courage.

……

At night, because he couldn't sleep, Lu Ping decided to go out for a walk and enjoy the night view of the capital.

There is no curfew in the Suzaku Dynasty, but after all, it is limited by the economic level, technological development and cultural backwardness. Even in a place like the capital, there are still very few entertainment activities at night.

In the end, he could only find a tall and quiet house to rest.

"I walked around most of the capital, and the only shops still open at this time are casinos and brothels, except for a few street stalls..." "Why didn't Chao Yiliu open his 24-hour first-class inn here?"

After being away from home for more than half a month, Lu Ping began to miss the life in Taiping Town.

There are obviously a lot of Jianghu people in this place, but none of them are causing trouble, which makes the Jianghu look fake...

Lu Ping lay on the roof of someone's house, put his hands behind his head as a pillow, counted the stars above his head with his eyes open, and enjoyed a moment of tranquility and cool evening breeze.

Suddenly, the sound of a few light footsteps disturbed Lu Ping's thoughts.

"...Three hundred and twenty-three stars, three hundred and twenty-four... Hmm? Is there anyone?"

Originally, Lu Ping thought that there was someone who couldn't sleep like him and came out for a ride, but as he listened, he realized something was wrong.

Lu Ping is now considered a master in Qinggong and has a certain understanding in this area.

If an ordinary person is taking a ride, then when he performs Qinggong, he will definitely keep his breathing steady; and if someone is competing, then when he performs Qinggong, his steps will definitely not be messy.

But the sound coming to my ears not only showed disordered steps, rapid breathing, but also a very fast heartbeat, which meant that the person performing Qinggong was very "panic".

It's like 'escaping' from someone or somewhere.

If I were to encounter such a strange thing, I would definitely want to get involved.

So Lu Ping immediately sat up, listened quietly for a few seconds, and finally turned his head and looked towards the seven o'clock direction, where the sound came from.

Under the moonlight, a dark figure in night clothes was seen moving across the rows of roofs at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, he had already escaped hundreds of meters away.

"Hehehe... little thief, let's see who has the faster Qinggong!"

Lu Ping laughed softly, intending to go forward and catch the other party in the act, and then investigate whether the other party had done something bad secretly to make him dressed like that. Suddenly, he saw a fire in the distance, illuminating the night sky.

Before Lu Ping could react, a commotion, shouting, and gong sounds came from the fire, immediately alarming four or five surrounding streets.

"What happened? Is there a fire?"

Lu Ping was shocked. His intuition told him that the fire was most likely related to the man in black who had just run past.

But when I turned around and wanted to chase him, I found that the man had disappeared in the night.

"What a shame... I'd better go there first."

Having made up his mind, Lu Ping immediately used the Water Wind Step and rushed towards the fire.

However, the closer he got to his destination, the more he felt something was wrong.

Why does the place where the fire broke out look like the "No. 1 Village in the World"?
Three minutes later, Lu Ping finally arrived at the street next to the fire. At this time, many gangsters had gathered here to join in the fun.

The place where the fire broke out is truly the best village in the world!
Not only that, the fire broke out in the guest villa of the No. 1 Manor in the World.

After several minutes of nourishment, the fire had become several times larger than before, not only burning four or five houses, but also almost spreading to the surrounding streets.

The guest courtyard of the No. 1 Manor in the world is located in the southwest corner of the manor and is a place similar to a "staff dormitory".

Generally speaking, the guests who join the No. 1 Manor in the World are all well-known figures in the martial arts world.

These guest officials all have properties outside and usually do not live here. They only stay here temporarily when they come to the No. 1 Manor in the World on business trips.

In order to facilitate temporary guests to enter and exit the manor, the designer built a small gate next to the guest courtyard. Outside the small gate is the main street, which is why the fire spread to other streets.

Lu Ping couldn't believe the scene before him.

"Can't the people from the world's number one village even prevent fire?"
