Nishi-suimura...... Go east......" Hu Ling silently wrote down the route and began to make a small calculation in his heart.

This water curtain cave is located on the periphery of Daxu Mountain, and the vicinity happens to be an area where spirit beasts are scarcely distributed, and the two of them were not attacked by spirit beasts, and the process of getting out of the mountain was very smooth.

Afterwards, Lu Ping'an and Hu Ling walked briskly all the way, and about an hour later, they saw the crowd.

"Little Er, come to a pot of tea, and if there is a hot meal, come up with it. ”

The two found a small tea stall on the side of the road to stop and rest, and seeing that there were no other guests next to them, Lu Ping'an did not care about it, and directly sorted out the various items picked up from the cave in public.

The atmosphere in that ditch was too permeable, and the light was very dim, Lu Ping'an didn't take a closer look just now, but everything that could be taken away was put into a storage bag by him.

At this time, upon inspection, Lu Ping'an was pleasantly surprised to find that the cultivator who was knocked to death had a lot of good things on him.

One of the most noteworthy is a spell scroll, although it has been soaked in the river for hundreds of years, the spell sealed inside has not disappeared.

According to the frontispiece and the pattern of the law seal in the scroll, Lu Ping'an judged that what was sealed in it was a fixation spell.

Different from Hu Ling's previous illusions, the immobilization spell is a spell that forcibly traps the opponent's actions through the aura shackles generated by the spell, and is extremely practical in battle.

"Tsk, good thing!" Lu Ping'an shook his head and kept shaking his head, carefully putting away the scroll and putting it back into the storage bag.

"By the way, Your Highness, where are you going next? I can only send ......"

Lu Ping'an was in a hurry to refine those spirit stones, and was about to find an excuse to separate from Hu Ling, but as soon as he raised his head, he suddenly found that Hu Ling, who was sitting opposite, was gone.

"Little Er, do you see the girl who came with me?"

Lu Ping'an hurriedly got up, looked left and right, looking for Hu Ling's shadow, and asked Xiao Erdao, a tea stall who was coming over with a teapot.

"This ...... This is what she asked me to pass on to you, oh yes, the food at our stall is really shabby, and the appetite of the undefeated son is really simple. ”

Xiao Er, who had just witnessed Hu Ling's mysterious body technique and disappeared in front of him in an instant, trembled and handed a note to Lu Ping'an, and then tiptoed back to the back hall to hide, for fear of hindering the other party's eyes and being killed by raising his hand.

His small tea stall has always entertained caravan porters in the past, who would have thought that a cultivator like Lu Ping'an would deign to come here.

"Oh. Lu Ping'an took the folded note with a puzzled expression, opened it, and saw that there were two lines of small characters written on it in neat thin gold font, and the ink had not yet dried completely.

"I'll go first, and you can continue to scarce your tattered treasures. Also, remember not to call me Her Royal Highness the princess in the future, there will be a period later. ”

Seeing the content of the note, Lu Ping'an smiled, since Hu Ling left by himself, he didn't have to worry.

Her Royal Highness, the princess of the dignified Cangwu Kingdom, must have a lot of talisman magic weapons with her, and it will definitely be no problem to escape. And a monster as weird and tricky as a statue wraith is never going to encounter a second one.

"Little Er, come out for a while. ”

After drinking half a pot of crude brick tea in one go, Lu Ping'an knocked on the corner of the table and beckoned Xiao Erdao from the tea stall hiding in the back hall.

"Here, Childe, what else do you command?" the tea stall junior trotted to the table and asked earnestly.

"The master is not so pretentious, come to a bowl of rotten meat noodles, warm a pot of wine, remember to be fast. Rest assured, the money will not be less than yours. ”

Lu Ping'an said, and discharged a lot of money on the small wooden table that was erected, although it was not much, but in this kind of wilderness shop, it was enough to consume once.

These copper coins were also picked up by him from the bones of that cultivator, although it has been a hundred years, but fortunately, the style of the coins in Cangwu Country has not changed, and they can still be used now.

After a full meal like this, and a short rest, while the sun had not yet set, Lu Ping'an set off again and returned to Daxu Mountain to continue his cultivation.

......

When night falls, the suburbs of the city practice ground.

This has always been a place for the city defense guards of Wanqiu City, as well as the city lord's palace guards, but two months before the start of the Wanqiu competition, this martial arts training ground has been vacated as a competition venue.

Under the auspices of the acting city lord Tian Sheng, the layout of the competition venue has not been affected by the violent death of the former city lord, and has been carried out in an orderly manner.

From today onwards, the renovated martial arts training ground is finally open to the outside world, and each family can send people to check whether there is anything wrong with the competition venue and whether it has been tampered with.

After the news of the City Lord's Mansion was released, many young people who signed up for the competition came to the martial arts training ground one after another to adapt to the competition venue in advance.

However, most of these people are not strong enough on their own, and some even shoulder the task of obtaining information about opponents for the family ace.

And a favorite like Chen Hao has absolute confidence in his own strength and doesn't bother to show up here at all.

In a narrow lounge in the central square of the martial arts training ground, more than a dozen contestants were sitting in front of a spiritual candle and discussing something.

Probably because the content of the discussion was more sensitive, there were two people guarding the lounge, and everyone inside was wearing masks to hide their true faces, the atmosphere was mysterious and depressing, and the air was full of a strong sense of conspiracy.

"Hey, it's not too early, what do you have to say, can you hurry up?"

A tall Ye family contestant couldn't wait, urging a man with a lion's head mask to sit in the center of the lounge.

"That's right, don't you pretend to be a ghost!"

"If you dare to fool us, see how grandpa cleans you up. ”

......

The others chimed in.

They were all contestants who came to visit the competition venue today, and they were all invited by the mysterious masked man, saying that there was something important to talk about the competition in the evening, and they each prepared masks to cover up their identities.

"Ahem, then I'll get started. The masked man coughed lightly, looked left and right at the crowd and asked, "Do you know why I invited you?"

Without waiting for everyone to reply, the masked man asked and answered himself, and said something that sounded irrelevant at first glance: "Dabi's preliminary test group has come out, I guess you have all seen it, right? I don't want to target anyone, because everyone here, including myself, is a foil and cannon fodder!"
