"Unusual?" Yun Lintian was curious.
"Very much so," Huang Zheng confirmed, swirling the wine in his jar thoughtfully. "The Holy Lands normally allow only a limited number of participants to enter their domain. This year, however, they've declared an open invitation, with an unlimited number of winners."
"Unlimited?" Yun Lintian echoed, surprised. This was indeed a significant departure from the usual protocol.
Huang Zheng nodded. "Yes. This has caused quite a stir among the major factions. The Holy Lands are known for their exclusivity and strict control over who can enter. Such a radical change is unheard of."
"Why have they done this?" Yun Lintian inquired, intrigued by the sudden shift in policy. He also thought of Qing Shui's words about the conspiracy behind the Holy Lands. Perhaps there was a connection between them.
