On the third day of March.
Two spacious carriages stopped outside the Yuyang Palace. The abbot of Jinghu Taoist Academy, Ge Yu, got off the previous carriage, but from the back carriage, there were six disciples of the academy, including Meng Chuan, Wu Qi, and Wan Mang. The carriage is spacious, and it's not too crowded for six people to sit down.
"Yuyang Palace." Meng Chuan and six others looked up at the palace.
Yuyang Palace is the holy land of the entire Dongning Prefecture, and the owner of Yuyang Palace is also the strongest presence in Dongning Prefecture.
The legendary "Yuanchu Mountain" built a Yuyang Palace in every capital of the Zhou Dynasty and dispatched a disciple to guard the Yuyang Palace. The Yuyang Palace Master was the strongest force in guarding the palace! The strongest deity and demon in Dongning Prefecture for over a hundred years, the ancestor of the Zhang family, was also worshipped on Yuanchu Mountain and is currently guarding a place outside.
"Follow me in," Ge Yu said, walking forward first. Meng Chuan and six others followed behind and stepped into the gate of the Yuyang Palace.
At this moment, several luxurious carriages arrived from behind, and someone got off the carriage.
Meng Chuan and the others looked back.
"Hmm?" Meng Chuan glanced at Yun Qingping and also saw Yun Fu'an. Yun Fu'an came with his wife.
"The Yuyang Palace Demon Slaying Festival is also a rare event in Dongning Prefecture. The court and the five major divine and demon families can send people in." Dean Ge Yu casually said, "However, each family is limited to sending up to ten people."
"It's Meng Chuan." Yun Qingping, together with her tribe, also saw Meng Chuan. At this moment, her heart was quite complicated.
After all, you are just a sensible person who was told that they will marry you and live a lifetime!
Although we have successfully terminated our engagement, we are still different from others in our hearts. And shortly after the termination of his engagement... Meng Chuan soared to the sky, realizing his secret skills and becoming a dazzling genius throughout the entire Dongning Prefecture. Even her tribal friends were muttering about this, which of course made her heart a bit uneasy.
However, Yun Qingping knew that she did not regret it, because no matter how powerful Meng Chuan was, it was not what she wanted!
"You little ones, all of you should take a good look." Yun family leader 'Yun Fucheng' is quite burly, looking at the six young people. "When you serve in the military at the age of twenty, you will all fight monsters to death. This time, you will see the ferocity of monsters with your own eyes. If anyone is scared by monsters and closes their eyes, go back to the quiet room for ten days!"
"Yes, Dad (Uncle)," Yun Qingping and six other young men and women obediently responded.
Yun Fucheng, the leader of the Yun family, is the most outstanding among the three heroes.
When serving in the military at Qinyang Pass, he made outstanding contributions, not only realizing his power, but also successfully condensing his pills. Just using the forbidden spell for too long while fighting monsters has damaged the foundation, and there is no hope for the gods and demons.
"Big brother, let's hurry inside and don't get stuck at the entrance of this palace," Yun Fu'an chuckled. He always smiles in front of his big brother, and even if he scolds him, he must endure it obediently! There is no way, in the army of Qinyang Pass and in front of the court, his elder brother Yun Fucheng is more recognized.
"Well, go in." Yun Fu nodded.
They both entered the Yuyang Palace with their wives and six younger members of the family.
******
On an open square in the Yuyang Palace, there is a large arena surrounded by a large number of seats.
The eight major monasteries, five major families, the imperial government, and the Yuyang Palace each have their own positions.
Meng Chuan naturally sat in the camp of Jinghu Taoist Academy.
"Chuan'er." Clan chiefs Meng Yanping and Meng Dajiang led the eight younger generations of the Meng family to gain insights, and Meng Dajiang even blinked at Meng Chuan.
"My dad," Meng Chuan murmured.
"Many younger generations have come to each major family." Meng Chuan quickly realized that the five major families usually have two or three high-level leaders leading a group of younger generations. "It's just the Yun family. The Yun family leader and Yun Fu'an actually brought their wives over. That's right... there are only six young people under the age of 20 and above in the Yun family," they said
The Yun family has too few children.
The ancestors of the Yun family were the first generation, and the second generation consisted of five sons and one daughter. The third generation is the generation of Yun Qingping
There are only dozens of people in the entire Yun family.
Attend a grand event of slaying demons in Yunyang Palace, and all the young people of appropriate age have come. You can also bring your wife over.
And the younger members of the other four major families competed fiercely internally in order to come and watch the battle.
"The Lord of Yuyang Palace is here."
All in one.
Everyone present stood up, even the magistrate of the court stood up and even took the initiative to greet him.
"Yuyang Palace Master?" Meng Chuan also looked at from a distance.
That was a tall and burly young man, whose whole body seemed to be carved out of jade and stone. As he walked step by step, he seemed to be the most dazzling existence in this world. His gaze was bright, and when he looked, no one could help but lower their head slightly, afraid to look at him. This is the most powerful presence in Dongning Prefecture, protecting the guardian deity of Dongning Prefecture.
Also a god and demon who emerged from Yuanchu Mountain!
The Lord of Yuyang Palace walked to his seat and sat down directly. Although sitting, there was an invisible aura enveloping the surroundings in all directions. Even the most unrestrained Dean Ge Yu is very careful and disciplined in front of the Lord of Yuyang Palace.
"Hmm?" At this moment, Meng Chuan and his team noticed that there were still a thin and weak young man and a young man in white standing on both sides behind the Lord of Yuyang Palace.
"That thin and weak young man is Mei Yuanzhi, who is the young man in white?" Meng Chuan was somewhat puzzled.
"Senior Brother Meng, do you know who that young man in white is?" Wan Mang asked in a low voice.
"I don't know." Meng Chuan shook his head.
"Mei Yuanzhi, just stand behind the Lord of Yuyang Palace. Who is the young man in white?" There were also whispers elsewhere, indicating that everyone had noticed the young man in white.
At this moment, the magistrate took a few steps forward, looked around, and said in a loud voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Jade Yang Palace Demon Slaying Festival is held every three years, and it is set by Yuanchu Mountain. The purpose is to train the young heroes of each mansion, so that they can fight against the monsters in advance before entering the battlefield, and truly experience the power of the monsters. In this way, when they go to the battlefield in the future, they have a bit more confidence in their lives. You must understand the good intentions of Yuanchu Mountain."
"The rules of this demon slaying ceremony have been carefully listened to by all the heroes," the magistrate said in a loud voice. "If you find that you cannot resist the life and death battle with the monsters on the arena, you just need to jump off the arena to survive. You don't have to worry about accidents, because with the presence of the palace master, accidents cannot occur."
Speaking, the magistrate smiled at the Lord of Yuyang Palace.
"Of course, outsiders are not allowed to interfere on the arena, even if they die in battle, there is no grudge. This is the rule of the Demon Slaying Festival, and no one can violate it." The magistrate said coldly, "I can tell you first that in history, those who died on this arena have had their arms and legs broken. If you are afraid, you can give up this opportunity directly."
No one will give up.
When serving in the military, the battlefield can be much more dangerous than it is now. If you give up the opportunity, you will be ridiculed and looked down upon by the entire Dongning Prefecture.
"Okay, let's start the demon slaying ceremony." The magistrate finished speaking and returned to his position.
A prison car slowly approached.
Inside the prison car, there was a pig demon in an upright form. The pig demon was about two zhang tall, covered in fat and black hair. His eyes were fixed on the many people sitting outside the cage, filled with hatred and killing intent.
"Be good," said a man with a broken arm pulling the prison car.
Upon hearing the voice of the man with broken arms, the pig demon trembled with a hint of fear in his eyes.
"As long as you win on the arena, you can have a full meal. As long as you can kill a human youth, you can enjoy ten days of delicious food and wine." The man with a broken arm said, "But you must not leave the arena. Dare to leave the arena and die from countless cuts!"
"I know." The pig demon's voice was deep, and she spoke in human voices.
The prison carriage arrived at the arena.
The prison door was opened.
"Go up," the man with a broken arm said coldly.
As soon as the pig demon took a step, it leaped onto the arena. There were heavy chains on its wrists and ankles, which also collided when it landed on the arena.
Meng Chuan stared carefully, and he could vaguely feel the surging power possessed by this pig demon. The toughness of the black pig fur was no less than that of heavy armor. The pig demon was full of killing intent and looked in all directions. For it, every human race around was an enemy! The madness in its eyes, as well as the strong hatred and killing intent, made some human teenagers tremble. For example, the youngest eight year old boy in the Yun family turned pale in fear and tightly hugged his mother.
"No hugging." Yun Fu'an angrily scolded his son and gave his wife a cold look. "A kind mother is so useless!"
At this moment, the court officials flipped through the list and loudly said, "The disciples of the Wash Marrow Realm will first enter the arena. The first one is Zhang Rushang from the Lieyang Taoist Academy."
