917. Chapter 915: Overwhelmed by Favor

"Senior Brother Lu, welcome to Cangjing!"

Just stepped out of the cabin, the two companions waiting nearby smiled at him and greeted him with clasped hands.

Lu Yuan's heart fluttered, feeling overwhelmed by the favor.

"You two senior brothers are being too polite!"

Lu Yuan returned the salute with clasped hands, feeling quite excited inside.

These companions are all locals of the Cangyun Sect, not actually old; they, like him, have only just joined the sect not long ago.

"Hurry! Junior Brother Lu, get on board quickly, don't waste time, otherwise it'll be full soon!"

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but hesitate a little.

Although he knew the Cangyun Silver Vessel was specially made by the Cangyun Sect, extremely fast and very comfortable to ride, there were just too many people! Calculating like that, the vessel's passenger capacity must be limited, right?

Nevertheless, seeing the companions' earnest urging, he quickly boarded the silver vessel.

"Junior Brother Lu, please!"

The two companions respectfully invited him, leading him straight onto the silver vessel.

Hum! Accompanied by a low hum, the silver vessel turned into a blinding streak of spiritual light and shot through the air, in an instant rushing out of Cangyun City and speeding away from Cangjingcheng.

Lu Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

The Cangyun Silver Vessel is incredibly fast; logically it should reach the venue of the Cangjing Martial Arts Conference in Cangjingcheng in half a day, but the current situation seems somewhat troublesome.

Because no matter how fast this silver vessel is, it still can't be faster than the teleportation array inside Cangjingcheng.

If the martial artists in Cangjingcheng aren't willing to wait for him, he'll likely miss the match.

"Alas! If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have tried to show off!"

Lu Yuan shook his head and let out a soft sigh, his expression complex, his heart filled with regret.

The three major sects of Canglanguo hold martial arts conferences, and the various prefectural cities and commanderies also hold such conferences; even throughout Canglanguo, many similar grand events are held.

For the Cangyun Sect, this level of martial arts exchange is commonplace; they basically won't pay too much attention to it.

But for ordinary martial artists of Canglanguo, this is a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity!

This Cangjing Martial Arts Conference is practically a golden opportunity to ascend in a single step; no one can afford to miss it.

Lu Yuan originally hoped to rely on his solid cultivation and formidable strength to bring glory to the Cangyun Sect, but he never expected that in the end he still couldn't change anything.

However, he wasn't overly discouraged, after all he had just arrived; there was still much to learn and experience to gain.

And what he currently lacks is precisely these things; if he let this setback make him depressed, it would only breed laziness.

"Where exactly is the venue for the Cangjing Martial Arts Conference matches?"

Lu Yuan suppressed his thoughts and asked.

"Hehe, your luck is really not bad!" one of the companions chuckled, grinning as he began to explain.

"The host site of this martial arts conference is right in Cangjingcheng's central district, at Canglang Plaza!"

"Canglang Plaza is where the elite circles of Cangjingcheng reside!"

Lu Yuan nodded and smiled, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

He knew well that Canglang Plaza is the most prosperous area of Cangjingcheng, and it's also where the top secular aristocratic families and various princes and royalty of Canglanguo gather.

To stand out in such a setting is no easy feat! He also knew well that for him this was not easy, and even fraught with danger.

After all, masters gather there like clouds; even a martial artist of his decent strength might not gain any advantage.

But no matter what, he still harbored some hope.

"Canglang Plaza is still more than half an hour's journey from the Cangyun Silver Vessel; let's use this time to chat about the deeds of the Cangjing martial world!" another blue-robed man chuckled, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

"Mm!" Lu Yuan nodded and smiled, a strong fighting spirit suddenly welling up in his heart.

Although he didn't dare dream of soaring to the heavens or showing off his fists, as a martial artist of the Cangyun Sect he naturally didn't want to be trampled underfoot.

No matter what level of martial artist the opponent is, he will prove his worth with his own strength! The reason the three major sects of Canglanguo dominate Canglanguo is not only their deep foundations, but also their reliance on batch after batch of strong martial artists to uphold the sect.

Lu Yuan knew well that within Canglanguo, the overall standard of martial artists in any martial city would not exceed that of Cangjingcheng.

As the political center of Canglanguo, Cangjingcheng gathers the nation's elite martial artists, and there are even disciples of some superpowers among them.

These people, just randomly pull one out and you'll find a shocking background; their strength is far beyond what ordinary martial artists can aspire to.

Lu Yuan made a silent resolution: if given the chance, he must participate in the martial arts conference between the three major sects of Canglanguo.

But... could he really win first place at the martial arts conference? Thinking of this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but give a bitter smile, a vague sadness arising in his heart.

"Junior Brother Lu, don't lose heart; the martial arts conference is just a formality. Even if we can't get first place, we can still use the conference to make a name for ourselves in Canglanguo, and later, when we step into the Canglanguo martial world, we can also become a formidable force!"

Seeing Lu Yuan looking somewhat dejected, a companion patted his shoulder to comfort him.

"That's right, Junior Brother Lu; although your strength is a bit lacking, I believe that as long as you work hard earnestly,"

"You will surely astonish everyone at the Canglanguo Martial Arts Conference and become a rising star in the Canglanguo martial world!"

"Exactly! Junior Brother Lu, you'll definitely make it!"

The companion beside him quickly added, encouraging him to lift his spirits and not harbor any negative thoughts.

"Thank you both for your care; I will definitely participate in the Cangyun Sect's martial arts conference!"

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up, and he nodded solemnly.

"Haha, Junior Brother Lu, you're indeed impressive!"

"You have ambition!"

The two companions both raised their thumbs to show their approval.

"Hmph! Lu Yuan, I won't lose to you in this martial arts conference!"

Just then, a cold shout suddenly rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

"Huh?"

It's Zhou Yuan!

He... how did he get out of the cabin?

The two companions turned toward the sound, their eyes narrowing in shock.

Lu Yuan, hearing this, also turned his head to look, and saw a woman in white and blue standing at the front of the deck, her arrogant gaze locked onto him.

"Who is she?" Lu Yuan furrowed his brows slightly, a faint disgust welling up in his heart.

"Her name is Jiang Man! It's said she's engaged to you, but we don't really know the specifics either." The companion on the left replied, focusing intently.

"An engagement with me?" Lu Yuan's eyelids jumped, his heart startled! "Hmph!" Seeing Lu Yuan's stunned look, Jiang Man's pretty face bore killing intent, her eyes surging with murderous intent, as if she wanted to devour someone.

But after a moment, she shook her head and sneered, her face full of mockery.

Upon arriving, Lu Yuan found that this was a massive palace covering several hundred zhang, magnificent and spectacular.

And hanging prominently on the palace were the four shining golden characters 'Cangyun Silver Vessel'! This huge palace is the Silver Vessel of the Cangyun Sect.

And on the Silver Vessel lies the exclusive resting area for the Cangyun Sect's warriors. (End of chapter)
