There are twelve counties in the three counties of Hexi. Wanyang County has four counties, namely Tianling, Yunye, Jinchuan, and Pinghu counties; Longxiang County has five counties, namely Lingyuan, Yeyin, Zhaoyu, and Shayang.

There are five counties in Sishui; Yangping County is the least, with only three counties: Jinxiang, Donglu, and Shuiyun.

Twelve counties are twelve third-rate forces, plus the other three counties, there should be a total of thirty-seven third-rate forces in the three counties of Hexi, plus Tianding Sect, Mingjian Sect, Fengbo Tang San

There are two second-rate forces, and the total number of first-rate forces should be forty.

This time when the holy army attacked the city, among the three counties in Hexi, Wanyang County suffered the most losses.

Because until the moment before the Holy Cult army broke through the city, Lu Guanqing and Tong Wudi still did not repent, refused to surrender, and even fled with Gu Tianyun, this move completely angered Zhan Taiqing.

After the holy army broke through the city, Zhan Taiqing personally ordered that the Silver Armored Army, together with everyone in the Sword Master's Yamen, the more than 10,000 disciples of the Tianding Sect, and all the disciples who participated in the defense of the city, totaling 37,800

More than a hundred people were killed, and no one was left alive.

In addition to the Tianding Sect, there are four third-rate sects in Wanyang County. There are five mainstream sects in total, plus some small sects that are not mainstream. Almost all of them were killed, so excluding these five, Hexi

In the three counties, there should be thirty-five influent forces left.

"Thirty-five tables, only empty ones!"

Ke Jiangyun sent a message to Yue Wenzhu next to him. When he entered the hall, he glanced around. There were thirty-five tables in the entire hall, which could be roughly divided into three areas, which should be divided according to three counties.

of.

The tables at the front of Longxiang County and Yangping County are both empty, which should be the seats reserved for the two of them. As for the remaining seats, the two of them probably know it well.

Yue Wenzhu sighed slightly and said through a message: "The seats are packed. Not one of the thirty-five influential forces in the three counties of Hexi Province dares not to be present. I am afraid that this sect leader has not seen such a grand event in decades!"

"The main thing is Master Fanyin's trick to scare the monkeys. The holy army is now stationed on the west bank of the Tongtian River. Even if they want to run away, they can't. If they don't come to the banquet today, who knows whether they will end up like the Tianding Sect.

What will happen if the sect is destroyed..."

"Sect Master Yue and Hall Master Ke, you two have finally arrived!"

While the two were having a voice conversation, an elegant and handsome young man in white suddenly walked up to the two of them from the crowd. While speaking, he did not forget to bow to the two of them, which was quite polite.

Yue Wenzhu looked at the other party's young appearance, elegant temperament, and aura that was not much different from his own. He actually had a guess in his heart, but he still pretended to be surprised and asked: "Yue has not been to Wanyang for many years."

County, I didn’t know that our three counties in Hexi Province have produced such a young and talented man. I dare to ask your Excellency who he is..."

Ke Jiangyun's brows twitched at the side. Yue Wenzhu's nickname was Qinglong Junzi, which meant that he was upright and upright and had the demeanor of a gentleman. Unexpectedly, he could also flatter others.

"Ke has not been to Wanyang County for several years. Such young talents are hard to find in the whole of Yongzhou, not to mention the three counties in Hexi. I heard someone call him the Fifth Young Master. Could it be that you are the Fifth Young Master, one of the two dragons of the Hou family?

,Hou Yuduan?"

Hou Yuduan showed a faint smile of self-effacement. The two people's deliberate pursuit of him could not escape his eyes. Unfortunately, he had heard too much of this kind of flattery today, and he no longer felt much in his heart at this moment.

"The two seniors are so complimentary. Looking at the disciples behind them, we can see that Hexi is a talented person. Yu Duan has little talent and limited experience. He has been in Hexi for only a month. It is really difficult to live up to the reputation of a talented person!"

The dozens of disciples behind Yue Wenzhu and Ke Jiangyun suddenly showed a hint of pride when they heard Hou Yuduan's words. Their cultivation levels were all above the Gang Qi realm, and they were indeed the leaders of the younger generation in their respective sects.

It's not too much to say that Hexi is a talented person. They are quite worthy of compliments like Hou Yuduan's.

"If even the fifth young master is not considered a talent, then our three counties in Hexi really have no talent at all. The Hou family Shuanglong is now famous in Sanling and the land of Hexi. Everyone knows about it. Fengbo Hall

Although the young disciples like the famous sword sect are good, they are not on the same level as the Fifth Young Master and the head of the Hou family!"

However, a voice came from behind, and these disciples were immediately brought back to reality from the clouds. They suddenly realized that whether it was the fifth young master Hou Yuduan in front of them or the head of the Hou family, Hou Yuxiao, they were not on the same level as them at all.

What the Fifth Young Master said just now was just self-effacing. If they took it seriously, it would be a joke.

The group of people turned to look behind them, only to find that another group of about ten people had already walked behind them. The leader was wearing a yellow robe. He looked middle-aged, with a thin face, and a bag hanging around his waist.

It's a sword with a long handle, and it was him who just opened his mouth.

"If Yu Duan guessed correctly, is this senior Gao Haicheng, the head of the Gao family in Lingyuan?"

"It's an honor for Gao, a relatively unknown person, to be recognized by the Fifth Young Master!"

"Hahaha, if the head of the Gao family was a nobody, there would be no famous people here today. Lingyuan's reputation as the 'No. 1 County in Hexi' is as clear as thunder. He can develop a county to a level comparable to the county. I can do my best to Gao Gao."

The head of the family has learned from the experience..."

"Fifth Young Master praises, praises, and praises!"

Ke Jiangyun and Yue Wenzhu on the side saw this scene, their eyes slightly revealed a hint of gloom. Gao Haicheng came later, but in a few words, he chatted more passionately with Hou Yuduan than they did. They both felt like they were being overtaken by the unfavorable guest.

Of course, the two of them didn't like Gao either...

There are only three second-rate forces in the three counties of Hexi, and the remaining more than thirty third-rate forces should be crawling at their feet as usual. Only Lingyuan has such an outlier as the Gao family. Many years ago, including the Tianding Sect,

Internally, the three of them unanimously suppressed the Lingyuan Gao family. Although the Gao family was strong, it was naturally difficult for them to be suppressed by the three second-rate forces.

After all these years, Yue Wenzhu and Ke Jiangyun would definitely not believe that Gao Haicheng had no objection to them. As soon as Gao Haicheng appeared, he used the method of belittling their two families to flatter Hou Yuduan.

They are all extremely sharp, and they naturally understood what it meant immediately.

Mr. Gao, you want to take advantage of this change of ownership of the three counties in Hexi to make a comeback!

Hou Yuduan had a panoramic view of the subtle atmosphere among the three families, with a slight smile on his lips. After chatting with Gao Haicheng for a few words, he smiled heartily and said: "Now that the three of you are here, today's Hexi Three Counties Martial Arts Conference can begin.

, please take your seats!"

In fact, it is these three families who are waiting. The order of appearance generally represents the importance. Today, there are thirty-five tables, each representing an influential force, Fengbo Hall, Mingjian Sect, and Gao Family. These three families basically represent

It was only natural that the three strongest forces in the three counties of Hexi arrived at the scene last.

As soon as the three parties took their seats, Hou Yuduan also walked onto the high platform in the middle.

As soon as Hou Yuduan walked up, the entire hall of Jinfeng Xiaoyu Building suddenly became quiet. Everyone stopped whispering and focused their attention on him.

Everyone's expressions were a little solemn.

The three counties in Hexi have changed hands. Although the thirty-five incoming forces have clearly expressed their surrender, and the demon sect's army has indeed not killed them, strictly speaking, the Rakshasa demon sect has not expressed its stance, so they ended

Up to now, it can still be regarded as a mainstream force enshrined by the Ten Thousand Swords Saint Sect.

The Hou family is now a big celebrity in front of Zhan Taiqing. Today's banquet was apparently organized by the Hou family, but it must have been under the guidance of Professor Mo. Therefore, Hou Yuduan's next words will most likely determine the fate of each of their families. They

I know it all in my heart.

Hou Yuduan stood on the high platform and looked around. Different from the solemn and worried mood of everyone, he felt a little sigh in his heart at this moment.

There are thirty-five mainstream forces present today, totaling more than 500 people. In addition to six masters at the master level, there are more than 100 people at the Gang Qi level, at least 30 people at the Dan Bao level, and the rest.

It is the lowest, and it is also between the ninth and tenth levels of enlightenment.

This is a force many times more powerful than the Hou family. Considering what is in front of you, it is not the full strength of the thirty-five incoming forces. Each of them and most of their disciples remain in their respective territories. You can probably imagine

The three counties in Hexi became prosperous.

While sighing, Hou Yuduan couldn't help feeling a little proud. After all, these thirty-five influential families were all invited by his Hou family. Although there was a suspicion of borrowing the power of the holy religion, the Hou family was currently in the three counties of Hexi.

, the status of one person below ten thousand people is an irrefutable fact.

Hou Yuduan took a deep breath, looked back at the second floor, nodded vaguely, then turned around to face everyone, clasped his fists and said: "I, the Hou family, have been ordered by the Holy Cult to hold a martial arts competition in the three counties of Hexi. Thanks to Hexi

All the major forces are here to support you, and no one is absent today. Hou is here, and on behalf of his brother Hou Yuxiao, and everyone in the Hou family, I would like to thank all the teachers and seniors in advance!"

After finishing his words, Hou Yuduan bowed directly in four directions...

These words immediately won the favor of many people below. Not to mention the disciples of the major forces. Seeing Hou Yuduan's friendly expression, those masters of the major forces who had the cultivation level of Dan Bao, at this moment, felt in their hearts

Hou Yuduan had an infinite favorable impression.

Hou Yuduan is already well-known. He has a cultivation level of the second level of Xiaoru Yuwen. The only people present today who can be equal to him are six masters. However, he does not have any arrogance. He directly calls them those who are only in the Dan level.

senior.

"We have joined the Holy Cult and are now considered to be from Yongzhou. We are from the same sect as the Hou family. Since we are from the same sect, it is natural that we should support you. You don't have to be polite, Fifth Young Master!"

"The Fifth Young Master has a great reputation. I will never take him seriously. I just ask Mr. Hou to beg for mercy for me in front of my master..."

"Who doesn't know that Fifth Young Master's Confucianism is astonishing. I'm afraid no one here today dares to call himself Master in front of Fifth Young Master, and you must never call him Master again!"

"Fifth Young Master has such magnanimity. We are not unreasonable people. We are here today just to hear the holy teachings and how we plan to govern the three counties in Hexi. Fifth Young Master, please speak frankly. As long as it is not too much, we will definitely obey!"

………………

"With just a few words, I can win over a crowd of followers and respond endlessly. This Hou Yuduan is only the fifth son of the Hou family, one of the two dragons, but he is such a monster. Then the head of the Hou family, Hou Yuxiao, is not a monster..."

Yue Wenzhu sighed slightly when he saw the situation in the hall. He just turned around and saw his daughter Yue Qianfu, staring at Hou Yuduan with a pair of big eyes. She didn't even move, and she suddenly showed a look of helplessness.

The Great Elder Duan Heyan is older and has a lot of experience. Hearing the lord's sigh, he chuckled slightly and said: "The ancients said that you should be polite before fighting. When you first come up, you should be polite first. Don't worry, this kid will definitely have nothing good to say later!

"

Duan Heyan's words immediately resonated with Yue Wenzhu, who nodded.

"As you all know, I, the Hou family, summoned you all today because of the orders of the Holy Religion. Therefore, I will no longer continue to sell my skin. Today, I, the Hou family, will announce a total of three things, because these three matters are related to each other.

Hexi Wulin, and it is related at every level, Hou will talk about one thing one by one. Every time I talk about one thing, I will discuss it with you first. Once the results are obtained, I will talk about the next thing. What do you think?"

"Fifth Young Master, please speak, I am all ears!"

"We have plenty of time, Fifth Young Master, please tell me."

"Today, in the three counties and twelve counties, everyone who can come to the stage is basically present. Whatever orders the Holy Cult has, the Fifth Young Master can just say it, as long as it is reasonable and reasonable, we will have no problem with it!"

…………

Seeing that everyone agreed, Hou Yuduan first clasped his fists and bowed to everyone, then extended an index finger and said loudly: "Thank you for your cooperation, then Hou will start talking about the first thing!"
