Chapter 465 Changing banners
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning.

The summit of Mount Hua was still crowded with people, bustling with activity, and the atmosphere was even more heated than yesterday, except that the people from Peach Blossom Sword Island were missing.

The autumn weather was crisp, the sky was clear, the breeze was gentle, the air was filled with fragrance, the air was fresh and the spirits were lifted. Heroes from all walks of life came one after another, all of them were in high spirits, and after greeting each other, they sat down around the sword arena.

After the noise in the venue gradually subsided, the energetic Xu Qingnian slowly walked onto the stage, bowed to all directions one by one, and said with a smile: "Everyone, after several rounds of competition yesterday, the Lord of Xianwang Mansion Luo Tianjin and the Lord of Jinjianwu Jin Fuyu successively stood out and successfully entered the second round. Today, the last chance to advance in the first round will be born between the Holy Lord of Longxiang Mountain Yun Zhuiyue and the Palace Master of Tianshan Yulong Palace Wuya."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Yun and Ren who were sitting there.

Yun Zhuiyue had a blank expression on his face, as if he had made up his mind, or as if he was thinking about something. Ren Wuya's eyes were slightly closed, as if he was pretending to sleep, as if he was gathering his strength.

Xu Qingnian looked around and nodded slowly, saying, "The rules of the martial arts conference were already made clear yesterday, so let's not waste time talking about it today. If Saint Lord Ruoyun and Palace Master Ren are ready..."

"Wait a moment!"

Before Xu Qingnian finished speaking, Ren Wuya suddenly said, "Before the competition officially begins, I want to announce something important."

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of whispers. At the same time, Luo Tianjin's face became even uglier. He knew that Ren Wuya had this trick, but he didn't expect that he would be so impatient.

"Oh?" Xu Qingnian hesitated and asked, "May I ask what the big deal is?"

"Recently, a new martial arts star has become a disciple of Tianshan Yulong Palace. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce him to the heroes of the world." Ren Wuya said with a smile, "I hope you can give me more help and advice in the future."

"This..." Xu Qingnian's reaction was similar to that of the others. They all looked stunned. "This is a family affair of the Jade Dragon Palace. It seems to have nothing to do with the martial arts conference?"

"No!" Ren Wuya shook his head and said, "This boy is not only related to the Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace, but also to another major sect in the martial arts world. In addition, there are two more things I want to announce at the same time, and let the heroes of the world be witnesses."

Due to Ren Wuya's identity, Xu Qingnian couldn't refuse on the spot, so he agreed reluctantly: "In that case, Palace Master Ren, please do as you wish!"

After saying that, Xu Qingnian turned around and stepped aside without saying anything more.

"Who is the newcomer that Ren Benefactor is talking about?" Xuan Ming asked, "And which sect is he related to?"

"I believe everyone is familiar with this person." Ren Wuya said bluntly, "His surname is Liu and his name is Xunyi. He is currently serving as Hei Zhishan in the Xianwang Mansion."

"hiss!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Everyone was surprised and shocked. Even the disciples of Prince Xian's Palace were stunned and looked around at a loss.

At this time, Shaolin, Wudang, Kunlun... these sects that have a close relationship with the Xianwang Mansion were all stunned and horrified. In a flash, the faces of Xuanming and others became extremely gloomy and ugly.

The reason why they reacted so strongly was not because of Liu Xunyi's joining the Jade Dragon Palace, but because they were disgusted with the collusion between the Xianwang Mansion and the Jade Dragon Palace.

Jin Fu Yu remained calm and composed as before, but his eyes became more intriguing.

"Oh!"

Suddenly, Qing Feng, who was furious, slammed the table and stood up, regardless of the occasion and identity, and asked Luo Tianjin: "Is this true?"

Qingfeng expressed everyone's thoughts, and everyone's eyes instantly focused on Luo Tianjin.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Luo Tianjin had a complicated expression and was evasive: "Everyone has their own aspirations, and they cannot be forced. This is a private matter between Liu Xunyi and Tianshan Yulong Palace, and I... can't interfere too much. There is a saying that 'a good bird chooses a tree to roost, and a good minister chooses a master to serve'. I obey the wishes of the young man, so how can I force him to do something difficult?"

Luo Tianjin's words undoubtedly pushed Liu Xunyi to the forefront.

"Black fan?" Xu Heng cast an incredulous look at Liu Xunyi and asked, "This must be fake news! How could you betray the Xianwang Mansion? You..."

"This is absolutely true!" Liu Xunyi suppressed his guilt and said righteously, "I... have decided to join Tianshan Yulong Palace and become the disciple of Palace Master Ren."

"what?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was another cry of surprise on the top of Mount Huashan.

"Liu Xunyi, you bastard!"

Xu Heng flew into a rage, unable to control himself, punched Liu Xunyi in the face, and yelled, "I respected you as a man, but I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful and sell out your master for fame! Have you forgotten how you got to where you are today? Without the support of the Palace Master, and without the support of the brothers in the Xianwang Palace who shared life and death with you, what would you be? You are still a nobody! I know my martial arts are not as good as yours, but I would rather risk my life today to teach you a lesson..."

Xu Heng became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and finally he drew his sword from its sheath with a "clang" and swung it mercilessly at Liu Xunyi's head.

"Don't be impulsive! Don't be impulsive!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Qin Ku hurriedly pushed Liu Xunyi away from the blade, and at the same time called on the surrounding disciples of the Xianwang Mansion to stop Xu Heng.

"puff!"

Liu Xunyi spat out a mouthful of blood and sputum, rubbed his red and swollen cheeks with his hands, and looked at the furious Xu Heng expressionlessly, but did not say a word.

"How dare you!" Luo Tianjin's face darkened, and he shouted angrily: "What do you think this place is? Who do you think you are? The heroes of the world are here, how can we allow you to do whatever you want? Xu Heng, you are too unruly! Come, tie him up and punish him according to the family rules!"

As Xu Heng's shouting and cursing faded away, this sudden little disturbance gradually died down.

Although Xu Heng kept scolding Liu Xunyi for being "ungrateful", anyone with a discerning eye could see that Luo Tianjin was the real mastermind.

"Palace Master Ren just said that there are two more things to announce. I wonder what they are?" Jin Fu Yu added fuel to the fire and teased everyone's nerves again.

"That's right!" Ren Wuya remained calm and said calmly, "First, Liu Xunyi and I hit it off right away and I admire him very much, so I decided to take him in as my grandson. I dare to ask all the heroes in the world to be witnesses."

At this moment, among the people on the top of Mount Huashan and the surrounding crowd, at least seven or eight out of ten showed contempt and disgust towards Liu Xunyi.

After that, Ren Wuya cast a meaningful look at Liu Xunyi and asked with a smile: "Xunyi, what do you think?"

"I……"

At this moment, Liu Xunyi's mood was extremely complicated. His fists tucked into his sleeves clenched tighter and tighter, and his eyes flickered and uncertain.

Encouraged by Luo Tianjin's subtle gaze, Liu Xunyi made up his mind and slowly walked towards Ren Wuya.

When he came closer, Liu Xunyi fell to his knees with a plop. In front of everyone's incredulous gazes, he kowtowed to Ren Wuya respectfully and said, "Ancestor, please accept your grandson's greetings!"

"hiss!"

Seeing that Liu Xunyi was so shameless, people around couldn't help but boo.

"You are an ungrateful wretch, worse than pigs and dogs!"

"King Beixian is blind and has misjudged you."

"Last year in Hexi, I saw you speaking righteously and eloquently, and I thought you were a loyal and brave man, but I didn't expect that you were actually a person who spoke pure words but acted corruptly, and was generous on the outside but cautious on the inside."

"Bah! What a despicable villain!"

……

Most of the people in the underworld are generous and brave, especially those who are righteous. They hate to see shameless villains who betray their masters for fame and fortune and curry favor with the powerful. Therefore, the heroes were very angry, and there were complaints and curses everywhere.

He used all kinds of obscene words, and he wished he could "greet" all of Liu Xunyi's ancestors for eighteen generations.

At this time, Qin Ku, Bai Shuang, Xiao Zhirou, Tang Afu, and Yun Jianping, who had escaped from Liu Xunyi last night, listened to the ridicule and insults coming from all around them, and looked at Liu Xunyi with an indescribable complex feeling in their eyes, like sympathy, confusion, regret, and suspicion.

"Quiet!"

Xu Qingnian waved his hands in all directions, and the anger of the crowd gradually subsided.

"I wonder what the second thing Palace Master Ren wants to say?" In such a tense atmosphere, Jin Fuyu still did not forget to dig deep into the matter, and it was clear that he had bad intentions.

"As for the second thing, I shouldn't say it." Ren Wuya smiled pretentiously, "Also, you may have some misunderstandings about Liu Xunyi. In fact, he is not a traitor, nor is he a traitor. If you don't believe me, listen to the second important thing that Lord Luo is about to announce."

When these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help but look at shock, and they all turned their eager eyes to Luo Tianjin.

At this moment, Qingfeng opened his eyes wide, his beard trembling, and he seemed to be extremely nervous. He was Luo Tianjin's father-in-law, and a close relative of master and apprentice. He was also the head of the Wudang Sect and a master of the martial arts world. If Luo Tianjin did something against morality, he would undoubtedly be the most embarrassed person.

At this moment, everyone on the top of Mount Huashan held their breath, waiting for Luo Tianjin's explanation.

After a long silence, the motionless Luo Tianjin suddenly sighed silently, then slowly stood up, looked around, and said loudly: "Everyone, Luo has a daughter named Ningyu, who is now at an extraordinary age. My wife and I have carefully considered and selected for her, and finally found a man of outstanding character, martial arts, talent and knowledge. What's more rare is that this man is also my daughter's favorite man. It can be said that the two are in love with each other, and they are a match made in heaven."

"Congratulations, Lord Luo! I wonder who Lord Luo's son-in-law is?" Suddenly, a question came from the crowd, immediately causing a burst of whispers.

"This person is far away in the sky, but now he is right in front of us!" Luo Tianjin took a deep breath and said word by word, "It is Liu Xunyi who just joined the Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace!"

"what?"

Luo Tianjin's words confused everyone and made them even more bewildered.

"Lord Luo, you... what are you talking about?" Yin Baimei was confused and smacked his lips repeatedly, "Why am I getting more confused the more I listen? Liu Xunyi has clearly abandoned you, why did you still betroth your daughter to him?"

"That's right!" Qingfeng reminded worriedly, "What big news do you want to announce? Are you going to break off all ties with Liu Xunyi?"

"No!" Luo Tianjin waved his hand, his expression straightened, and every word was sonorous, "What I want to announce is that Liu Xunyi and my daughter will hold a grand wedding within three months after the martial arts conference!"
