252.4 Party Conference
252.4 Party Conference
The Four Directions Pavilion Conference, as the name suggests, is naturally hosted by the four pavilions of the continent. Although the main participants in the conference are only these four pavilions, each Four Directions Pavilion Conference is a grand event in the Central Continent. Although it cannot be compared with the Pill Tower's Pill Gathering, it can still be said to be quite famous throughout the continent.
The Four Directions Pavilion Tournament is not a competition for the older generation of powerhouses, but rather for the younger generation. Of course, the younger generation who can represent the Four Directions Pavilion are naturally the most outstanding among the younger generation of their respective factions. This fresh blood is the most important thing for every force to proliferate, so the Four Directions Pavilion attaches great importance to the cultivation of the younger generation.
With such emphasis on nurturing talent, many exceptionally talented individuals have emerged among the younger generation, such as Feng Qing'er of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, Tang Ying of the Myriad Swords Pavilion, Wang Chen of the Yellow Springs Pavilion, and Mu Qingluan of the Starfall Pavilion. These individuals enjoy considerable fame even in the Central Plains.
Of course, the Central Continent is full of hidden talents, and no one knows where a dark horse will suddenly emerge. But even so, every Four Directions Pavilion Tournament attracts many forces and countless young people who are confident in their strength. Although the Four Directions Pavilion is usually the main player in this tournament, it does not exclude other participants.
The competition was held under the witness of the four masters of the Four Directions Pavilion. This Four Directions Pavilion Conference was organized by the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and took place at the headquarters of the Wind and Thunder East Pavilion.
All four pavilion masters have arrived, and without exception, all four are renowned Dou Zun powerhouses!
However, the four people were in different moods at this moment, with Thunder Venerable of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion having the most complicated feelings. Recently, Fei Tian, the Pavilion Master of the Wind and Thunder Northern Pavilion, was kidnapped by a mysterious young man and has not been heard from since.
The Wind and Thunder Pavilion had no other information and could not track down the young man, only knowing that he was from outside the Central Continent and named Xiao Yan. Currently, they could only determine that Fei Tian was still alive based on the life tablets within the pavilion. This matter was a great disgrace to the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, so Thunder Venerable immediately sealed off all news. However, nothing stays hidden forever, and the other three pavilions probably knew something to some extent.
Therefore, at this time, Venerable Lei also decided to win the championship in the Four Directions Pavilion Tournament in an impeccable manner, and to use the championship of the Four Directions Pavilion Tournament to cover up the news that Fei Tian had disappeared without a trace.
Fortunately, Lei Zun Zhe was still quite confident in winning the championship. Although the Four Pavilions had cultivated young geniuses, Feng Qing'er from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion had some hidden strength. She herself had told Lei Zun Zhe that she absolutely could not lose to the people from the other three pavilions.
As for the remaining Yellow Spring Venerable and Sword Venerable, they both looked at their young genius with a hint of pride.
The Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool was open for a while, and all the geniuses from the Four Directions Pavilion entered it. Now it seems that their strength has indeed improved again after soaking in the Blood Pool. Who wouldn't want to compete for the championship?
Only Venerable Feng sat calmly in his chair, with several members of the Starfall Pavilion standing behind him. In the far corner, one person wore a long black robe, his face somewhat blurred and unclear. However, this person's strength was only at the Douhuang realm, making him inconspicuous among the many stars gathered in the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, and thus he did not attract any particular attention.
The Wind and Thunder Pavilion is currently reviewing the qualifications of those wishing to participate in the Wind and Thunder Pavilion Assembly. Venerable Wind suddenly said to Venerable Thunder, "How about our Starfall Pavilion adding a few more people to this year's Four Directions Pavilion Assembly?"
Upon hearing this, the other three Venerables were somewhat surprised. In the end, the Four Directions Pavilion Tournament was just to give the core disciples of the four pavilions a chance to show themselves. Whether or not they could actually win the championship was not particularly important.
Therefore, in previous competitions, the four pavilions always selected only their strongest disciples to participate. But now it seems that Venerable Feng actually wants to send more people to participate.
Sword Venerable stroked his long beard and said, "It seems that besides Qingluan, Wind Venerable is hiding another extraordinary young man?"
Venerable Feng waved his hand dismissively and said, "He's just a young man with decent talent. He's eager to participate in the Four Directions Pavilion Conference, so I'm just granting his request."
Xiao Yan is Yao Lao's disciple, so Venerable Feng did not want to claim this honor for himself, and therefore deliberately did not answer Venerable Jian's question directly.
"Hmph, you think you can just change the rules that have been in place all this time?" Venerable Huangquan snorted coldly. Among the four Venerables, he had always been at odds with Venerable Feng, so he also spoke up in opposition.
Venerable Feng noticed that Venerable Huangquan's expression was also not very pleasant. Venerable Lei, seeing the two on the verge of conflict, quickly tried to smooth things over as the host, saying, "It's just an unwritten rule. Since Venerable Feng is so inclined, our Four Directions Pavilion can send more disciples, but no more than three at most, how about that?"
Among the four Venerables, Venerable Wind is stronger than the others, so Venerable Thunder secretly favors Venerable Wind.
"I have no objection," the Sword Master then stated.
The three shared the same opinion, and even if Venerable Huangquan objected, it wouldn't have much effect. He could only sarcastically say, "Venerable Feng, just be careful that your prized disciple doesn't perish on the competition stage."
Unmoved by the provocation, Venerable Feng said indifferently, "Venerable Huangquan, rest assured, no matter how incompetent the disciples of Starfall Pavilion may be, I believe they will not be at the bottom."
In the previous two Four Directions Pavilion Conferences, the Yellow Springs Pavilion was at the bottom, and Venerable Wind's words were also pointed.
The Venerable Yellow Springs smiled sinisterly: "Beating my Yellow Springs Pavilion is nothing special; taking first place in this tournament is what truly shows ability."
Upon hearing this, Venerable Feng refrained from arguing. Everyone knew that Feng Qing'er of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion was no ordinary person; she was practically the top young talent among the Four Directions Pavilions. Even Mu Qingluan of the Starfall Pavilion was somewhat inferior to Feng Qing'er.
Seeing that Venerable Feng remained silent, Venerable Huangquan became even more smug: "There are always rumors that the Starfall Pavilion is the best among the Four Pavilions, but now it seems that this reputation is undeserved."
"Huang Quan, don't go too far!" Venerable Feng also frowned slightly.
"Hahaha, if Venerable Wind is confident, would you dare to gamble with me?" Venerable Yellow Springs felt even more smug upon seeing Venerable Wind at this moment.
"What are we betting on?"
"Let's bet on whether Starfall Pavilion can take first place in this Four Directions Pavilion Tournament."
The Sword Venerable and Thunder Venerable beside him were secretly criticizing the Yellow Spring Venerable. After all, the Yellow Spring Venerable wasn't comparing the results of the Starfall Pavilion and the Yellow Spring Pavilion; rather, he was betting on whether the Starfall Pavilion could take first place, and the difference between the two was enormous.
"A pointless bet," Venerable Wind said, sounding somewhat unsure of himself.
"Hahahaha." Venerable Huangquan made no attempt to suppress the smug look on his face.
"Lord Wind, don't worry. As long as you win, you can choose whatever you want from the Yellow Springs Pavilion. If you lose, there will be no punishment! How about it?"
