The headquarters of Huoyun Sect is located in Huoyun Mountain, north of Panhu City.
There are many forces on Huoyun Mountain, all headed by the Huoyun Sect.
During these New Year days, the Fire Cloud Sect is holding a martial arts conference.
The conference begins on the first day of the Lunar New Year and ends on the first day of February.
It is mainly about the exchanges between the major forces on Huoyun Mountain, ranking the various sects, and selecting the strong ones of the younger generation.
Moreover, the conference will also resolve some conflicts between forces.
The entire Huoyun Sect was very lively.
The leader of the Fire Cloud Sect, Zhuang Qiurong, who had been in seclusion, also came out of seclusion a year ago to celebrate the New Year. He came to the conference every now and then to watch the competition.
These activities held by Huoyun Sect every year are to consolidate Huoyun Sect's position in Huoyun Mountain, and furthermore, to prove the power of Huoyun Sect.
Moreover, some of the most favored people from the major forces will be selected to join the Fire Cloud Sect.
Many young disciples from various factions want to join the Fire Cloud Sect.
After entering the Fire Cloud Sect, they will have extremely powerful resources and secrets, which can also help their faction gain great reputation and status.
Today is the twenty-fourth of the first lunar month.
The martial arts conference is still being held, and the next few days will be filled with battles between the truly strong.
In the back mountain of Huoyun Sect, the huge martial arts training ground can accommodate ten thousand people!
At this moment, young strong men were fighting in the huge arena, and the audience was surrounded by strong men from all major forces.
Some are cheering, some are drinking tea and chatting, and some are waiting to participate in the competition below.
The whole scene was lively.
At this moment, a disciple suddenly shouted: "The deputy sect leader is back!"
"Sect Master Cao, you are back!"
"Sect Master Cao, I heard that you went to participate in the auction of Longfeng Pavilion."
"Your Excellency, Sect Master, you have come back at the right time. My disciple has already reached the top thirty in this year's competition!"
Many people gathered around and greeted Cao Yonglian.
At this moment, Cao Yonglian was transformed by Fang Chen using the art of disguise!
The real Cao Yonglian will never come back at all. He set off from another route and took people from various major forces to attend the founding ceremony of Guigu Gate.
Cao Yonglian has a very high prestige in the Huoyun Sect and has many friends.
Because Zhuang Qiurong likes to practice in seclusion, he leaves everything in the Huoyun Sect to Cao Yonglian.
Fang Chen greeted these people carefully and dealt with everyone.
"Brother Cao, you're back!" At this time, a tall and powerful middle-aged man in black robe left his seat and came over.
This person is the leader of Shenwu Hall, He Yidao.
He is also the person in charge of the conference.
Huoyun Sect has two main hall masters, namely Shenwu Hall and Qijian Hall.
All the forces in Wuji Mountain were wiped out because of the actions of the two hall masters.
Fang Chen had seen all the portraits of the top leaders of the Huoyun Sect, so he naturally knew this person.
Furthermore, Longfeng Pavilion handed over all the information about the Fire Cloud Sect to Fang Chen, so it is not difficult to deal with the top leaders of the Fire Cloud Sect.
And He Yidao was a little puzzled. According to the plan, Cao Yonglian should have taken the masters of the major forces to Wuji Mountain in Jiangbei City to attend the opening ceremony of the Guigu Gate.
Why did you come back suddenly?
Moreover, he only brought two disciples back.
The deputy sect master had many disciples, and no one at the scene knew Li Qingwu and Gu Yueru.
Fang Chen also came up to him, and the two of them were polite for a moment before He Yidao asked his question.
Fang Chen explained.
"People from all the major sects have rushed to Wuji Mountain. The reason why I came back anxiously this time is to bring back the three treasures, because the treasures are too important and cannot allow any mistakes."
Fang Chen deceived He Yidao, saying that he had bought three treasures at the auction.
Because the treasure is too valuable, it is inconvenient to carry it with you.
You can't let other people escort you back, as it would be bad if you get caught and lost.
Therefore, I personally sent the treasure back.
He Yidao was overjoyed when he heard this, "So, we have got the three treasures our Fire Cloud Sect needs!"
Fang Chen nodded, "Yes, who dares to snatch what we want from us?"
He Yidao couldn't wait to see the treasure.
"Brother, please take out the treasure quickly and let me have a look. I am very interested in the golden silk cicada clothes."
Fang Chen deliberately smiled mysteriously and gave it away.
"Why are you anxious? Tonight we will gather all the powerful people and hold a banquet to celebrate together. Then we will take out the treasures in front of everyone from the major forces and make everyone's eyes open!"
He Yidao didn't think much about it, let alone doubt it, thinking that this plan was feasible.
"Having obtained such a treasure, I really want to show it off. I can also prove once again to the major forces that our Fire Cloud Sect is powerful. Everything will be according to my brother's arrangements."
After the two parties reached an agreement, He Yidao couldn't wait to inform everyone present that the Fire Cloud Sect was hosting a banquet tonight and wanted to tell everyone something very important.
Fang Chen sneered in his heart, everything was settled.
The next step is to use the power of the Ten Thousand Poisons Manual to poison all food.
This time, not only can the Huoyun Sect be destroyed, but all the forces loyal to the Huoyun Sect on Huoyun Mountain can be wiped out!
Last time, thanks to the ghost witch who used endless poison to kill Fang Chen and Bai Ling'er, Fang Chen got a blessing in disguise and refined the poison body.
Moreover, Fang Chen had already reached the highest level by practicing the Ten Thousand Poison Manual.
The power of the Ten Thousand Poisons Manual is black righteousness, and there is also poison in it!
It can condense colorless and odorless poison at any time, making it difficult for people to detect it. Even an eighth-level expert cannot detect it.
With Fang Chen's strength, he can use the disguise technique at any time to look like anyone.
A large number of chefs and servants came to the kitchen, and chefs from other forces on Huoyun Mountain were also arranged to come. They started preparing ingredients in the morning, and everyone was preparing for the celebration banquet in the evening.
Fang Chen only gave him sealed drinks, all of which were poisoned secretly.
These drinks were very expensive and could only be drunk after the banquet in the evening. Of course, the servants would not dare to drink them in advance.
Gu Yueru and Li Qingwu were observing everything going on in the kitchen and the servants at all times to ensure that nothing unusual would happen.
Today's competition ended early.
In the evening, in the spacious martial arts training ground, more than 6,000 people from various forces on Huoyun Mountain gathered around the banquet and sat on the banquet table, waiting for the banquet to begin.
Then amid bursts of cheers, Fang Chen appeared on the stage.
Today's conference was hosted by Fang Chen. Fang Chen asked He Yidao to invite Zhuang Qiurong, the leader of the retreat. As a result, Zhuang Qiurong did not show up at a critical stage of his cultivation.
Fang Chen walked to the first wine table.
He Yidao and Liang Qiyun, the master of Seven Swords Hall, were sitting next to Fang Chen, and several important senior officials were accompanying him for drinks.
After the celebration started, Fang Chen stood up, raised his glass, and toasted to all the forces and friends present.
And he drank three drinks in a row!
No one dared to give Fang Chen face. Everyone raised their glasses and drank three drinks with Fang Chen.
Besides, this is fine wine, and many people are eager to pick up the jug and drink it clean.
Fang Chen's goal has been achieved.
Afterwards, Fang Chen said: "The reason why we have called everyone together for this celebration today is to show you three peerless treasures!"
