Chapter 39 (1) The Long-Awaited Northeast Conference Finally Begins

  At this point, Takamatsu was already dead, and Huang Zhuo alone would also be defeated.

  The battle finally came to an end with Lin Xingbai's victory. The cruise ship erupted in cheers, and at this point, Lei Zhen couldn't help but admit one thing - the original Lin Xingbai was slightly weaker than himself, but now he had already become a force equal to his own.

  It's strange to say, however, that Takashi is unknown on the list, which means Lin Xuebai's ranking cannot advance and remains at 40th. But Lei Zhen knows that Lin Xuebai already has the strength to challenge himself and can be ranked around 25th.

  The vast universe, billions of living beings.

  Being able to rank twenty-fifth among billions of living beings is how formidable it is.

  "All things return to dust, a raging fire sweeps across the land, unstoppable and destroying all in its path." These were the last words Gao Song heard before his death, and also the most feared. The power of this move was truly terrifying, but Gao Song was already dead, reduced to nothing more than ashes, and his thoughts would never reach another person's ears.

  Huang Zhuo stood stupidly on the surface of the sea, this battle was lost.

  Yes, for the first time in his life, he joined forces with someone and lost both games. Huang Zheyan didn't know what to say. He raised his ghost knife, but it wasn't aimed at his opponent Lin Xingbai, instead it was placed horizontally on his own neck.

  "For the sake of the Ghost Blade Sect's survival, in order not to be swallowed up by the Northern Cultivator Alliance, I joined hands with Gao Song, harming the interests of the Northeastern cultivators. This matter, I still think that what I did was right, and even now, I believe that the sect's interests are more important than the entire Northeastern cultivation world's interests."

  "Because when Master handed over the school to me back then, he instructed me that I must continue the school. I don't want to betray my ancestors after I die."

  Huang Zhui's face wore a desolate smile: "However, it seems I still didn't make it. Moreover, this time being outnumbered two to one is the shame of my lifetime." Yes, Huang Zhui was also a man in the past, but this time being outnumbered two to one wasn't something a man would do.

  "And it failed too." Huang Zhuo smiled wryly.

  Then, Huang Zhuo raised his ghost knife, and with one horizontal slash, the head fell off, blood splashing everywhere.

  His head and body separated, falling into the sea together, Huang Zu's life came to an end.

  At that time, Huang Zhu's master taught the Ghost Knife Gate to Huang Zhu and said: "To continue the Ghost Knife Gate."

  "Yes." A simple word, this was Huang Zhu's reply back then.

  The answer is very easy, but doing it for this word is not easy at all.

  Firstly, colluding with Gaotang, harming the interests of the Northeast Xiu Zhen realm.

  Then, the plan implemented with Takamatsu failed. Afraid that the enraged Dongbei Xiu Zhen Jie would find trouble for Gu Dao Men, at this critical moment, Qiang Jing Zi selflessly took all the blame upon himself, thus allowing Gu Dao Men to barely survive.

  This is for Kaito, who gave his all and ultimately sacrificed his own life.

  Lin Xingbai watched Huang Zhuqi commit suicide without saying a word. This man, although he had harmed the interests of the Northeastern Cultivation Realm, had not yet caused great calamity. Although he was guilty, in the end, his death could be considered as atoning for his guilt.

  Obviously, other cultivators on the cruise also thought similarly to Lin Xingbai, so they didn't make things difficult for the Ghost Blade Sect either.

  This war has thus completely fallen, as for what hasn't fallen, it's probably still reporters A and B from "Northeast Cultivator Today". Reporter A is already pondering: "This battle will be called 'Shocking the World Battle', this name is quite good."

  Reporter B nodded: "This name is not bad."

  Reporter A smiled: "Lin Xuebai single-handedly defeated two, fought against Gao Song and Huang Zhuo, killed Gao Song, and Huang Zhuo took his own life. Once this news is out, I think which newspaper can still compete with us Dongbei Xiuzhen Today's Headlines for market share."

  "This battle is indeed too exaggerated." Reporter A continued, waving his hand: "You're so stupid, you just watched the battle without taking any photos. Although we are cultivators, we are also reporters in the cultivation world. So, no matter what exciting fighting scenes we encounter, we must take photos."

  "The photo on the front page headline."

  At this time, the Carnival Glory was heading deep into the Bohai Sea. Time passed quickly, and a day later, the Northeast Conference on the Bohai Sea began as scheduled. On that morning, Lin Xingbai was still sleepy when he heard the noise.

  Lin Xingbai sat up, got out of bed and walked to the railing. The place where Lin Xingbai lived was quite high, so he could easily see half of the cruise ship. As Lin Xingbai looked around, he saw that this Carnival Glory was decorated with lanterns and streamers everywhere, looking very festive.

  Moreover, there are people performing the lion dance. These Taoist priests dancing with lions look much better than ordinary people. The lions are flying in the air, and the lion dance is performed with great splendor. The colorful lions are flipping up and down, their eyes rolling wildly, it's truly a lively and exciting scene.

  Take another look at people, each and every one of them is beaming with joy.

  "The Northeast Conference has begun, of course it should be like this." Qu Feiyan sat on the railing with her feet tucked under: "The Northeast Conference is a grand event that has continued for over 1,400 years. Although there's the factor of Lei Zhen wanting to unify, but no matter what, a holiday that's been celebrated for over 1,400 years should be spent well."

  "Right, the heroes who participated in the Northeast Conference back then, after annihilating most of Goguryeo's cultivators and achieving a great victory, had once come to Bohai. Now, thinking about the feats of our predecessors 1,400 years ago, I am truly filled with emotion and sighs."

  "Dong dong dong dong" is the sound of beating gongs and drums.

  The sound of drums and gongs seems to have brought people back 1,400 years ago. It was exactly 1,400 years ago that the cultivators in Northeast China made a bold move, wiping out the cultivators of Goguryeo, which led Emperor Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty to send troops to Goguryeo and successfully conquer it.

  The seniors at that time were so heroic.

  At this time, the host of the Northeast Conference, Luo Pingfan, pulled Lin Xingbai back from his reverie. As the host of this conference, Luo Pingfan was the master of the Foreign Affairs Hall of the Northern Cultivators' Alliance. Although he was very ordinary, he was exceptional in diplomacy, which is why he was entrusted with this important task. With Di Yun not present, it was only natural for Luo Pingfan to take charge: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the 28th Northeast Conference, hosted by our Northern Cultivators' Alliance."

  "First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Luo Pingfan, and I'm sure most of you are familiar with me." Indeed, Luo Pingfan was well-connected in the Northeast region, and there were only a few people who didn't know him.

  "Now, the Northeastern Conference has begun. This is a testament to the heroic spirit of the Northeast's Cultivation world. Now, let us recall the deeds of our predecessors...". Luo Pingfan indeed had a good eloquence, and he continued to speak incessantly.

  (Today's second update, if there are no unexpected events, there will be another chapter to update. By the way, I recommend a good book, "Rebirth of the Tree", book number 1021365. It is about obtaining the transmission from Zhenyuan Daxian and dominating in an alternate world. If you like this type of story, go take a look, it won't disappoint you.)
