Chapter 124 Those Are All Lies

Where everyone's eyes were focused on was a group of warriors wearing dark green Taoist robes.

The leader was an older warrior, about forty years old.

This group of warriors were all dressed in uniform and were all of strong build. Not one of them looked thin at all. With so many people, they naturally looked very imposing.

Martial artists who knew a little about this, and even those in Qizhou who had heard of it more widely, knew that this group of martial artists came from Dianzhou, which was not far from Qizhou.

The dark green Taoist robes, the sturdy and strong physique, and the overwhelming aura are the characteristics that make it very easy to identify the warriors from the Dianzhou Martial Arts School.

As the name suggests, the Five States Martial Arts Show involved the participation of five states: Qizhou, Yingzhou, Dianzhou, Jinzhou, and Jingzhou. These five states were close to each other and had close ties on a daily basis, so they often held joint martial arts shows.

In the beginning, the five states often held joint martial arts performances in groups of three or four. As time went on, they simply joined together and held joint martial arts performances. The number of warriors participating in the performances increased, and the scale naturally became larger and larger.

The Five States Martial Arts Show is a great way for warriors to challenge powerful enemies and hone their skills; for ordinary people in the Five States and even nearby states, it is a great opportunity for sightseeing.

Another point is that for the people living near the venue, there are many warriors and tourists during the Five States Martial Arts Festival, and the Five States Martial Arts Festival has never organized unified accommodation.

This caused the prices of accommodation and drinks near the venue to soar, allowing nearby shops of all sizes to easily earn a considerable amount of income.

In addition, the Five States Martial Arts Show itself is not just a martial arts event for selection purposes.

Since the participants come from five states and are all warriors of various levels with outstanding strength in each state, the final effect of a five-state martial arts performance will also affect the warriors of each state, and even the people of each state's evaluation of the strength of the host state and the good or bad impression of the host state.

Since the benefits that the Five States Martial Arts Show can bring are indeed not small, each Five States Martial Arts Show is hosted by the five states in turn, and the location is determined by the hosting state.

In short, the Five States Martial Arts Show is very popular among all parties, and local people are naturally happy to see more warriors participate.

However, even so, the appearance of warriors from Dianzhou, one of the five states, at Micui Peak still caused surprise among the people of Qizhou and the warriors who came to Micui Peak.

What is surprising is not their identities, but the number of people who came to Qizhou to participate in the martial arts performance.

In the past, when the five states jointly held martial arts competitions, warriors from Dian Prefecture would naturally attend every session, but the number of participants would never be as large as it is today.

Moreover, today is not the last day to register for this martial arts performance. This means that before the registration closes, there may be more Dianzhou warriors appearing.

Although the exact number of individual participants from Dianzhou cannot be determined yet, based on the number of martial artists participating in the Dianzhou official martial arts school, although we cannot conclude how much more there is, it is very likely that the number of martial artists participating in this martial arts performance from Dianzhou will be far greater than in previous years.

The people of Qizhou have already begun to look forward to the excitement of this Five States Martial Arts Show!
The other four of the five states are not unfamiliar with Dianzhou, and can even be said to be very familiar with it.

In fact, Dianzhou was quite famous throughout the eastern part of the Yuan Kingdom, and the biggest reason for this was the existence of the Dian Forest.

Dianzhou relies on the Dian forests and has also benefited greatly from them.

The vast expanse of Dian's forests, rich in a variety of rare timber, has spawned a lucrative timber industry in Dian Prefecture, reaping the wealth of timber merchants from Dian Prefecture and even other provinces. Similarly, the immense benefits of this timber industry benefit ordinary Dian Prefecture residents. For Dian Prefecture's warriors, the Dian forests are truly a treasure trove for cultivation.

Jiang Xuan hunted a ferocious beast on the edge of the Dian Forest in Yingzhou and obtained a valuable second-level ferocious beast inner elixir.

And that is only at the edge of the Yunnan Forest. Deeper in the Yunnan Forest, there are more powerful beasts, as well as more rare medicinal herbs that are rarely seen outside the Yunnan Forest, or even unique to the Yunnan Forest.

All these are the great wealth of cultivation that the warriors of Dianzhou can enjoy.

Because of the immense value of the Yunnan Forest to warriors, many high-level warriors, especially peak warriors, frequently enter and exit the Yunnan Forest, going in and out of the deeper parts of the Yunnan Forest which are both dangerous and full of opportunities.

Since the number of Dianzhou warriors who participated in the Five States Martial Arts Show in the past was extremely small, ordinary people in the Five States thought that Dianzhou warriors were not very interested in the Five States Martial Arts Show.

But for the warriors of the Five States, the indifference of the warriors of Dian State towards the martial arts performances of the Five States was expected.

For the warriors in the Yunnan Forest, the opportunities they encounter in the Yunnan Forest may not be inferior to the rewards that the winners of their group in the martial arts performance can get.

As a result, whenever the Five States held a martial arts performance, a unique but very reasonable phenomenon would occur among the warriors of Dian Prefecture: although Dian Prefecture encouraged warriors to participate in the Five States Martial Arts Performance, there were very few warriors willing to participate.

However, this time, not only did a large number of warriors from Dianzhou participate in the martial arts performance, but they were all in high spirits and clearly came well prepared.

No one knew what the reason was that caused the warriors of Dianzhou to change their previous style of behavior, temporarily put aside the temptation of training brought by the Dian forest, and happily went to Qizhou to participate in the martial arts performance.

Whether the warriors of Dianzhou participate in the Five States Martial Arts Show or not is one thing, which is the business of the Dianzhou warriors themselves, but some things, especially what people from other states think of Dianzhou, are another matter.

"Wow……"

The disciples of Dianzhou Martial Arts School appeared here, and naturally, like other individual contestants, they had to rush to the mountainside of Mi Cui Peak to register.

However, as a large number of disciples from the Dianzhou Martial Arts School were walking on the road in a swaggering manner under the leadership of the leading warrior, a sound of a child crying out loud was clearly heard.

After hearing the crying of a child, a female disciple in the Dianzhou Martial Arts School confirmed it again and again, and a hint of doubt appeared on her high-spirited face.

The crying of the child was most likely due to the presence of martial artists from Dianzhou Martial Arts School, including her, but she didn't understand. They just came to Qizhou to sign up for the martial arts performance, so why would they cause a child they had never met to cry?

The female disciple looked at the fellow disciples around her, but did not immediately get the answer she wanted.

"Be good, don't cry, Xiaobao. Those are all lies, not true." A white-haired old man holding the child hurriedly comforted him.

Upon hearing this, the doubt on the face of the female disciple from the Dianzhou martial arts school began to dissipate. She remembered some of the things she had heard in Dianzhou. She hadn't believed them at first, but today, leaving Dianzhou for the first time and arriving in Qizhou, she discovered that those rumors were indeed true.

However, they heard a lot of talk as they walked all the way to the foot of Micui Peak, but they didn't expect that there would actually be children who burst into tears when they saw them.
