Chapter 99: The Significance of the Sect's Grand Competition

  Wei Zhen walked ahead, turned around and saw Wei Hong frowning in thought behind him, couldn't help but smile: "No need to think too much, the master is looking for you just to talk about this time's sect competition situation."

  When Wei Zhen finished speaking, Wei Hong's eyes lit up. He knew very little about the sects' grand comparison, and many people in his family weren't too clear about it either. This time, it was a good opportunity to dispel some doubts. In Wei Hong's view, the master of the Wei family coming out in person might be to boost morale.

  Following Wei Zhen, he arrived at the conference hall of the Wei family. What surprised Wei Hong was that there were only five people in the entire conference hall. The one sitting in the first position was a middle-aged man with a stern face, who was majestic without being angry. Wei Hong's soul power had just probed slightly and quickly withdrew.

  The master of the Wei family, Wei Dongwen, a sixth-grade martial artist, was sitting in a lower position. However, it was an old man who sat there, who was actually Wei Peng. Another person was Wei Xiangyang. Apart from these three people, there was also a black-clad young man emitting a wild beast's aura that filled the entire hall. Next to him stood a 16- or 17-year-old girl in white clothes with a faint smile on her face, forming a strong contrast with the black-clad young man.

  "Wu Shi Yipin." When Wei Hong saw the cultivation of the two, a shocking color flashed in his heart, but on his face, there was no expression at all. He still followed behind Wei Zhen and, at the same time, also bowed to Wei Dongwen with a similar gesture.

  "Alright, everyone is here now. Xiang Yang, you can speak up." Wei Dongwen's face turned solemn as he began to speak.

  As soon as Wei Dongwen's voice fell, Wei Xiangyang also stood up. From Wei Xiangyang's introduction, Wei Hong also knew that the black-clothed young man was called Wei Hong and the white-clothed girl was called Wei Lan.

  "Wei Hong, aren't you surprised? To outsiders, Wei Zhen is considered the strongest among the younger generation of the Wei family. But why have both Wei Hong and Wei Lan already reached the level of Martial Master?" Wei Xiangyang asked gently after finishing his introduction, looking at Wei Hong's expression.

  "Not bad." Wei Hong nodded slightly, this was what he was most puzzled about. Moreover, regarding the infighting among the younger generation of the Wei family, they didn't even ask questions. Could it be that in the grand comparison between sects, the Wei family only cared about quality and not quantity?

  "It's not just our Wei family, but also the Ye family, Xu family, and Kuang family. Their current strongest younger generation may not be the strongest after all. Everyone has their own trump card, which is to compete for first place in the sect competition." Wei Xiangyang continued to explain to Wei Hong.

  "Alright, I'll say it." As soon as Wei Xiangyang's voice fell, Wei Dongwen's eyes snapped open. And as his voice fell, he suddenly shot out his hand, with his palm as a knife, moving at a slow speed towards Wei Hong.

  He suddenly made a move, causing Wei Hong's face to change, his body hair standing on end. His conditioned reflex was general, and the three-part knife intent unfolded in an instant. As soon as he had the intention, the Overbearing Knife appeared directly in his hand, colliding with Wei Dongwen's palm knife.

  "Kick, kick."

  Wei Hong was forced to retreat a few steps, his arms feeling a slight numbness, but his face became even more calm. He didn't understand why Wei Dongwen had made a move, but he thought it shouldn't be with malicious intent towards him.

  "Not bad, you can withstand my three-point force, you have the qualifications to get a quota." Wei Dongwen said with a smile on his face at this time.

  Wei Hong and Wei Lan, who were standing beside him, also took a closer look at Wei Hong, clearly not expecting that with only an 8th-grade cultivation, he had grasped three points of the knife intent and was able to withstand the attack from the master of the house.

  "I know you have a lot of doubts, why did you kill Wei Fa and others, but the family doesn't care, after all, they are top ten masters of the Wei family. And why does the Wei family have an attitude of neglect towards all the younger generations?" Wei Dongwen said to Wei Hong, word by word.

  As for Wei Dongwen's words, Wei Hong did not refute them. Wei Fa and others, as long as they were not fools, could guess what was going on, so he just listened quietly without opening his mouth.

  "The triennial sect competition is not just about sending disciples to the sect, but has a deeper meaning. Each city will produce one family, and the ranking battle will determine the benefits that the family can obtain. The first place gets the most, followed by the second place, and so on. This ranking battle is conducted by each of the four major families selecting four elite players to compete in turn."

  Wei Dongwen explained faintly, and upon hearing Wei Dongwen's explanation, Wei Hong also instantly understood. For the younger generation of the Wei family, whether or not they entered the sect had little impact on the Wei family; what they cared about was the ranking battle.

  "Wei Hong, Wei Lan, and Wei Zhen. These three have always been my predetermined choices. To confuse the other three major families, I didn't even let Wei Hong and Wei Lan meet in person. Apart from them, I still need to choose one more, but I just can't make up my mind. Therefore, no matter how fiercely the younger generation of the Wei family fights, I won't intervene. All I care about is who will become stronger. If someone gets killed, it only means they weren't strong enough. Their death would be their own fault." Wei Dongwen said with a hint of indifference.

  Wei Hong nodded silently, family matters, everything is centered around the family, this is what the head of the household must follow. At this time, Wei Peng also coughed lightly and said in a hoarse voice: "Alright, the head of the household has said what he needs to say. This time's sect competition will be held three months later. You should focus on your cultivation recently and not move around. The other three families may resort to tricks."

  Next, he simply said a few words and let Wei Hong and the other three retreat. At this time, Wei Xiangyang showed a worried expression: "Master of the house, can we trust Wei Hong? The news we've gathered is that the Ye family has all broken through to the Martial Master level this time, and the Xu and Kuang families are not weak either. This time, our Wei family is in a bit of trouble."

  "I'm more confident in Wei Hong, just now when the house owner attacked him, he obviously didn't use his full strength, and I have a feeling that he's holding back. Back then when Ye Luo and others were killed, Ye Luo was already at the Martial Artist level, but at that time, Wei Hong was only at the 5th rank cultivation. Now, he has broken through to the 8th rank cultivation."

  "But falling leaves don't necessarily mean Wei Hong killed him......" Wei Xiangyang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Wei Dongwen waving his hand.

  "Let's not talk about this anymore. Regarding the assassination of the other three major families, Mr. Wei, you need to be more careful. Also, Xiangyang, later on, you'll tell them again that for these two months, it's best not to leave Fog City. In Fog City, no one dares to assassinate."
