Chapter 33: Famous Earthquake Chi'an City (1)
"Junior Ziyan Sect Zi Ziqian, congratulations on the new appointment of the Qiu Mansion Lord. The young man came to the middle of the hall and bowed to Qiu Ruoyun in front of him, his expression was quite calm, neither humble nor arrogant, but as a junior who came to congratulate, the object was still the lord of the royal spiritual mansion, and this attitude of neither humility nor arrogance was more of an arrogance!
"It turned out to be Zi Ziqian!"
Yu Haoran couldn't help but exclaim, seeing Qin Li looking at him very curiously, he hurriedly explained in a low voice: "This Zi Ziqian is the young sect master of the Ziyan Sect of Chi'an City, he has reached the peak of the Gathering Spirit Realm at the age of sixteen, and he is only one step away from the Violent Spirit Realm, such an amazing qualification is placed in the entire Xinglan Empire, and it is enough to rank first, and he is recognized as the first person of the younger generation in our Chi'an City, I didn't expect him to come at all, and now I can only hope that he will not participate in the next challenge, otherwise our Chi'an Spirit Mansion will not have the slightest hope of winning." ”
"The first person of the younger generation?" Hearing Yu Haoran's high evaluation, Qin Li couldn't help but take a look at this Zi Ziqian, although he was only sixteen years old, his demeanor looked very old, even if he was quite polite at the moment, it was difficult to hide the thick arrogance between his eyebrows.
Looking at the eyes of the people around Ziqian, they were all full of amazement and envy, no wonder everyone reacted in this way, such a talent is indeed worthy of the title of "first person" in this Chi'an City.
But if it was placed in Qin Li's eyes, it would be worth taking a look at him, and the previous behavior of the sect master of the Ziyan Sect in the Zixuan Chamber of Commerce made his impression of the Ziyan Sect extremely bad, and now looking at Zi Ziqian's arrogant appearance of contempt for everything, his heart was even more bored.
"Zi Ziqian?" Qiu Ruoyun on the main throne smiled and said: "When Qiu was in the imperial capital, he heard that the Ziyan Sect had produced a supreme genius in this branch of Chi'an City, and today he finally saw it with his own eyes, and he was really talented!"
"The lord of the Qiu Mansion praised it falsely, but his father was really busy with affairs today, so he ordered the younger generation to come to congratulate him, hoping that the lord of the Qiu Mansion would not blame him. Ziqian smiled faintly, and the pride in his eyes did not diminish at all.
Today is a congratulatory banquet set up for Qiu Ruoyun to take over as the lord of the mansion, Qiu Ruoyun, as the lord of the Chi'an Ling Mansion, has a transcendent status, not to mention the formation hall for the time being, but the other seven major sect forces should also be personally come by the master of the sect, so it is enough to show respect.
But except for the Spirit Sword Pavilion, which is the pavilion master, the other five sects are all led by elders, and now this Ziyan Sect has actually sent a junior to lead the team, even if Zi Ziqian's words are not offensive, but anyone can see the contempt for the Chi'an Spirit Mansion!
Qiu Ruoyun waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's okay, it's good that your mind is there, you better take a seat quickly." ”
At this point, all the invited sect forces in Chi'an City have arrived, among which the Purple Flame Sect and the Formation Pattern Hall naturally occupy the two top seats, followed by the other six major sects, and after that, it is the location of the City Lord's Mansion in Chi'an City.
And for the arrangement of this seat, Murong Xiong, the lord of Chi'an City, was not half dissatisfied, although his Murong family was calling for wind and rain in Chi'an City, but that was only for the ordinary people in the city, as for the forces of the seven major sects, even if he was the lord of a city in Chi'an City, he had to hold his tail and be a man in front of them, and he didn't dare to offend him.
With the passage of time, the scheduled start time of the banquet finally arrived, Qiu Ruoyun, who was sitting on the main seat, stood up, picked up the wine glass and said loudly: "Today is the matter of Qiu's new Chi'an Lingfu, you are willing to come to see your face, Qiu is very grateful, Qiu has been in this Chi'an City for less than a week, and I don't know much about Chi'an City, I hope you will take care of it in the future, this first glass of wine, Qiu Mou respects everyone first!"
After speaking, Qiu Ruoyun drank all the wine in the cup, although the major sect forces were reluctant in their hearts, they still needed to pretend on the surface, and they all raised their wine glasses one after another and sent a few polite words of hypocrisy.
The atmosphere in the entire hall seems to be cheerful on the surface, but anyone can clearly feel the undercurrent that lurks beneath this calm.
Qin Li sat on the seat and looked around, and under the investigation of the power of the divine soul, he found that the disciples of the major sect forces who came to participate in the banquet were all above the Gathering Spirit Realm, after all, their purpose was to slap the face of the Chi'an Spirit Mansion, and the disciples they brought were obviously the most elite disciples of their respective sects.
In contrast, the disciples of the Chi'an Spirit Mansion are dwarfed, most of them are still in the strength of the Spirit Realm, and only a very few are new to the Spirit Gathering Realm, according to Yu Haoran, compared to the last time the Mansion Master took office, the strength of the disciples in the Spirit Mansion has made a qualitative leap, but under such a disparity in strength, I am afraid that the next challenge is still not optimistic.
After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere in the entire hall became more and more tense under the eye contact between the disciples of the Lingfu and the disciples of the major sects, and the disciples of the major sects were full of excitement and ridicule when they looked at the disciples of the Lingfu, and although the disciples of the Lingfu were not angry, they were a little nervous in the depths of their pupils, and their momentum was much weaker. As everyone here knows, the current situation only needs a fuse to trigger it!
At this moment, Luo Yinghuai, the chief elder of Tianluomen, stood up, raised his wine glass and said loudly: "I heard that the Qiu Mansion Master was specially transferred from the Xinglan Emperor Capital to serve as the Mansion Master of this Chi'an Ling Mansion, and I can't see through the strength of the Qiu Mansion Lord, it must be unfathomable, the Chi'an Ling Mansion is bound to become stronger and stronger under the leadership of the Qiu Mansion Lord, this cup of wine, the old man respects the Qiu Mansion Lord!"
After that, Luo Yinghuai drank all the wine in the cup, and continued: "Now that the seven major sect forces in this hall are gathered together, such a grand scene is rare on weekdays, but the banquet is already halfway through, and I always feel that there is something missing, in order to make everyone happy, the old man has a proposal, I don't know if the Qiu Mansion Lord is willing to listen to it?"
"Elder Luo is polite," Qiu Ruoyun smiled, but he still sat in his position without moving, and said very calmly: "Qiu Mou is the master of this Chi'an Ling Mansion, not because he has any outstanding talent, but because the order of the Holy One cannot be disobeyed, Elder Luo has any good ideas, please say it directly, Qiu Mou listened." ”
He took the initiative to toast, but Qiu Ruoyun didn't have the slightest intention of getting up and saluting, which made Luo Yinghuai feel extremely contemptive, and a touch of sorrow rose in his heart, but he didn't show a penny on the surface, and still smiled on his face: " The Qiu Mansion Master has just taken office as the Chi'an Lingfu Mansion, and he doesn't know much about the strength of the disciples in the Lingfu, so it is better to let the disciples of our sects and the disciples of your Mansion have a competition, firstly, it can help the fun, so that everyone can see the demeanor of the Chi'an Lingfu disciples, and secondly, it can also let the Qiu Mansion Master understand the strength of the disciples in the Mansion, and secondly, it can also enhance our understanding of each other, wouldn't it kill three birds with one stone?"
"It's a good one to kill three birds with one stone, Elder Luo's proposal is very good!"
"It's a great idea, there should be such an event in such a lively scene, so that everyone can have fun!"
"Then what are we waiting for? It's better to start now, I believe that the Qiu Mansion Master will definitely not refuse!"
As soon as Luo Yinghuai's voice fell, the major sect forces responded one after another, clapping their hands, and the atmosphere in the main hall suddenly reached a climax, and the elders of the Chi'an Lingfu sighed in their hearts when they saw this, what should come will always come, and now they can only hope that the disciples in the Lingfu can win a few more people by wheel battle, and they will not lose all the face of the Chi'an Lingfu.
"Elder Luo's proposal is indeed good, so let Elder Luo talk about the rules of this competition......" Qiu Ruoyun's expression remained unchanged at all, still as calm as water.
Qin Li secretly observed this unfazed Qiu Mansion Lord, speculating in his heart all kinds of possibilities, from beginning to end, no matter how provocative and contemptuous the major sect forces were, Qiu Ruoyun didn't care, and now in the face of Luo Yinghuai's ill-intentioned proposal, knowing the disparity in the strength of the disciples of the two sides, he was not worried about the loss of face in Chi'an Lingfu, unless he didn't care about the position of Lingfu Mansion Master at all.
Qin Li had specially asked Yu Haoran before, and learned that the Chi'an Ling Mansion generally changes the mansion master every ten years, but now it has been less than three years since the previous mansion master took office, Qiu Ruoyun was suddenly transferred, coupled with the various recent events, all kinds of clues in Qin Li's heart were intertwined, and he seemed to have something faintly in mind.
"The way to learn is very simple," Luo Yinghuai saw Qiu Ruoyun agreeing so readily, and said with a smile: "The juniors are different from us, they are still in the initial stage of cultivation, which can be described as a first-level age, so of course, it is the fairest to learn from each other with similar ages, and it is also a challenge, so the younger ones can naturally challenge the older ones, and the winners can also choose to continue the challenge, so it will be more glorious if they win!"
The meaning of Luo Yinghuai's words can be understood by everyone here, which is clearly saying that even if we are young here, we can completely defeat the older ones on your side, and pointed out that you can wheel, obviously mocking the Lingfu can only rely on the consumption of the wheel war to win, and this provocative words made the elders of the Chi'an Lingfu angry.
"Since that's the case, let's start, but since it's a communication between disciples, it's better for the subordinates to rest and measure. Qiu Ruoyun glanced at Luo Yinghuai very casually and said lightly.
"It's nature!"
Under Qiu Ruoyun's glance at this, Luo Yinghuai only felt a chill all over his body, but in an instant, this feeling disappeared completely, and he glanced around with some doubts, but he didn't find anything, so he could only shake his head slightly, suppress the strangeness in his heart, and continued: "Since this discussion was proposed by the old man, then it is most appropriate for our Tianluomen to take the lead......
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a sudden voice next to him: "Elder Luo, if you Tianluomen want to take the lead, then you have to send a decent disciple up, if you are defeated, it will not only be your Tianluomen's face!"
Luo Yinghuai turned his head, only to see that Yun Xinrong, the great elder of the Lumen Sect, was leaning on his seat, looking at him with a sneering smile on his face, and suddenly felt unhappy, and snorted coldly: "This is not Elder Lao Yun's heart, it is not certain whether you Lumen Sect has a chance to play." ”
