ill only come after me for revenge. But if we truly kill them, then they will inevitably direct their anger towards Xuanyuan Pavilion and your two seniors.""What's so great about Yunxia Mountain anywa...Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Refining Competition finally began. Elder Lu De Ren, the head elder of the Lu family, strode onto the top of the Refining Tower and commenced hosting the competition.

"This Alchemy Competition is hosted by my Lu Family, welcome alchemists from all over the Kunlun Continent to come and watch..."

After some polite pleasantries, Rudeen said, "This time the Rud clan's competition for blacksmiths is open, transparent, and fair."

The judging panel was composed of three individuals: Wen Ding, the Grand Elder of the Alchemist's Guild, Guo Jingcheng, the Lord of Lu City, and an elder.

After he finished speaking, Wen Ding and Guo Jing walked out from the spectator's seat and sat down on the referee's bench.

Before this, Ye Bufan had heard Wen Ding say it and didn't find it strange.

Rude continued, "Next, I'll explain the rules for this competition. There are four rounds in total."

The first round is to refine the refining materials. The top 100 will be selected based on meeting the assessment standards, and the rest will be eliminated.

After he finished speaking, there was an uproar in the audience. There were over a thousand people who came to participate in this refining competition, and nine out of ten were eliminated at the start, which showed how cruel the competition was.

"Alright, everyone be quiet!"

Rudeen pressed his hands together in the air, silencing the crowd once more. He continued, "The second round of the competition will be a hammer blow to the tire, where speed reigns supreme."

Subject to meeting the standards, select the top fifty.

The third round begins the real forging, with each person crafting a spirit weapon sword.

Within two hours, whoever can forge a spirit-grade sword shall pass the test. There is no limit to the number of participants.

"The fourth round, and the last round of this Forging Competition, is a focused competition on the spiritual swords forged in the third round. The one who emerges victorious will be crowned the champion of this Forging Competition!"

All the rules have been announced, and there was another commotion downstairs.

I have to say, the rules for this competition are rather simple and brutal, putting a huge emphasis on individual refining skills.

“Alright, the rules are announced. Now, I'll have the head of the Lu family and everyone else speak.”

After Ruderen finished speaking, he returned to the referee's stand, while Lu Chaoyang rose to his feet and walked towards the fifth floor of the alchemy tower.

All eyes in the audience were on the head of the Lu family. They were somewhat surprised, as the competition rules had already been announced and they didn't know what else the head of the family had to say.

"Fellows, there are some things I didn't want to say, but I have to. As a member of the Lu family, I, Lu Zhaoyang, am ashamed of the world's alchemists and the common people."

After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply to the audience below.

Now everyone was dumbfounded. As the head of the Lu family, his status was even higher than that of the mayor of Lu City.

Why are you apologizing as soon as you came up What's going on

Lu Chaoyang stood up straight, his face filled with shame and indignation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there's an old saying that goes, 'hide family shame.' But today, Lu Chaoyang is going to expose his own family's shame, for the greater good, even if it means going against his own kin."

His words once again captured everyone's attention. No one knew what the head of the house was going to do, so they all stared intently at the stage, leaning in to listen.

Everyone knows that I have an older brother named Lu Chaozong, who was previously known as the God of Kunlun.

But I now want to be completely honest with everyone, this is all a scam. He's not really a Kunlun artifact god, it's all a hoax!

His words caused a stir in the room.

To say the previous words were just surprising would be an understatement. This fierce revelation dropped a super bomb in everyone's heart.

To know that the Kunlun artifact is renowned throughout the entire Kunlun continent, it is the ultimate existence in the heart of every alchemist.

And now to say that all this is false, that the Kunlun Artifact Gods are a fraud, how could this not shock everyone

If someone else said this, people wouldn't believe it at all.

But how did he do it He relied on the reputation of the Kunlun artifact god to act recklessly and tyrannically.

I've endured all this because he's my older brother.

What made me most unbearable was that he even set his sights on my father's concubine, committing the heinous act of fornication. My father was so enraged that he spat blood and died on the spot.

So today I publicly announce, I'm severing ties with Lu Chao Zong, he doesn't deserve to be a member of the Lu family!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!are come to Tian Mang Prefecture It seems like you're really tired of living."Ye Bufan smiled disdainfully: "You act as if you're really famous. They're just roadblocks, and at most you're a stray dog...
