Chapter 397: Fateful Encounter (I)

Ouyang Zhongtian turned his head and said to one of the rows of maids standing on the side, "Xiaohuan, you come out and take my distinguished guest Zhan Chen down to rest." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Yes!" replied a very good-looking maid who stepped out of it.

Then, Zhan Chen left the Central Palace with Xiaohuan and came to a building next to it, where there were many rooms, which were the temporary shelters for the guests attending the birthday banquet, and when the banquet began in the evening, everyone would regather in the Central Palace to celebrate Ouyang Zhongtian's birthday.

Xiaohuan took Zhan Chen to a room and told Zhan Chen that this was his room, telling him to stay in it before the dinner party, and try to avoid going out and walking around casually, especially leaving the building.

After that, she left, leaving Zhan Chen alone in the room.

Let's say that Zhan Chen is not safe in the guest room, he is not sitting, he is not standing, he doesn't know why he is particularly upset today, maybe he is on someone's territory.

Eventually, he finally couldn't stand it anymore and thought, "Somehow, I feel bored and panicked when I stay in the guest room, why don't I go out for a walk and take a breath!"

So he made up his mind, stood up, opened the door, and went out of the house, where there was a large garden, in which the shadows of the trees were swaying, and the flowers were full of flowers, which made people feel refreshed and sorrowful.

At this time, the sun is setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun is sprinkled all over the trees, gilding all souls with a layer of golden mystery, which makes people want to wander in this garden.

Zhan Chen is not the only guest who chooses to come out to breathe, but fortunately, the garden is wide enough and the trees are dense enough to give these distinguished guests some private space.

He chose a forest path, and along the cobblestone path, he slowly walked to the depths of the dense leaves, and at the end of the road, he suddenly stopped, staring in shock, unable to believe his eyes.

It turned out that Zhan Chen saw an incomparably familiar back - Zhou Ziru!

"Ziru, why are you here?" he immediately shouted.

Zhou Ziru turned around and found that it was Zhan Chen who was standing far away, and he was also very surprised, his eyes were as turbulent as a storm and waves, but it was only an instant, he immediately hid all his feelings, and said calmly: "Zhan Chen, it turned out to be you, are you also here to attend this dinner?"

Zhan Chen walked forward quickly, with a thousand questions and ten thousand confessions in his heart, but he didn't know where to start, and finally just asked, "Why did you run away from me before?"

"Zhan Chen, you and I are already people of two worlds, there will be a bright avenue in front of you, and I will fall into the abyss forever-"

"Who the hell is it, who forced you into the devil?

"No one forced me, I said it a long time ago, this is the path I am willing to choose. ”

"But you were so jealous and hateful before, I don't believe that a person can be transformed overnight, what about your righteousness and pride?!"

Zhou Ziru's gaze fluctuated strongly, and finally couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't believe it originally-but for her, I can do anything, I can do anything, she is the sustenance of my soul?"

"Who the hell is she?"

"It's me who loves!"

"Who the hell do you fall in love with? Tell me! You know, seeing this makes my heart torment almost every day!"

Zhou Ziru smiled bitterly and said, "Who else, the city lord of Heiye City, my master." ”

Zhou Ziru was always reluctant to call her name, because she had ordered herself not to call her by her name under any circumstances, because for herself, she had only one title, and that was - master!

"It's her!" Zhan Chen suddenly realized, and his memory traveled to the distant past, the moment of Hongxi City's shocking glimpse, the graceful figure with a little familiarity, is still lurking in the deepest part of his memory, after more than ten years, it is still vivid, it can be seen that she is indeed a stunning woman who can not be forgotten as long as you look at it.

After a long time, Zhan Chen asked again: "Are you made like this by her?"

"It's not 'been', but I took the initiative to accept the washing of the scriptures, abolish the original exercises, and then switch to the cultivation of demonic skills, because this is the most basic condition for being able to stay by her side. ”

"I don't believe it! There are so many stunning women in the Xuandao Sect who have taken the initiative to show favor to you, and you have never promised them, but when you meet that city lord, how did everything change?"

"Don't compare those vulgar fans to my master, they don't deserve it!" Zhou Ziru roared, and his emotions suddenly became extremely excited.

Zhan Chen looked at his brother in surprise, he didn't know him, it seemed that he had become obsessed with a woman, and he couldn't listen to anything.

Zhou Ziru was very unhappy and said: "Zhan Chen, let's end our meeting, from now on, you take your Yangguan Road, I cross my single-plank bridge, we have nothing to do with each other, your brother Zhou Ziru is dead, and now standing in front of you is Leng Wuxin!"

With that, he turned and strode away. Looking at his distant back, Zhan Chen shouted unwillingly: "Zhou Ziru, are you willing to give up everything before for the sake of a woman?"

Zhou Ziru paused, turned his head to him and said, "For her, I am willing to sacrifice my life!" Leaving this sentence, he left without looking back, leaving Zhan Chen alone and staying in the same place.

"No, now I can't persuade Zhou Ziru to go back, fortunately, after I talked to him just now, at least I know the reason why he fell into the devil's path, and now all I have left is to meet the city lord of Heiye City, the culprit who turned my brother into this way must not be spared!" Zhan Chen's eyes flashed with a fierce color, and his two fists were clenched tightly.

Everything will be revealed at the dinner party in a few hours, and for now, all he has to do is wait quietly......

"When—when—" When night fell, a burst of melodious bells rang throughout the sky above Zhongyu City, and the birthday celebration of Ouyang Zhongtian, the king of the neutral region, had finally officially begun!

The central square was already brightly lit, filled with 3,000 tables of sumptuous dishes, symbolizing Ouyang Zhongtian's 3,000-year-old birthday, and each table was surrounded by 33 people, a total of 9,999 people were invited, and it also conveyed the beautiful meaning of wishing Ouyang Zhongtian's longevity to last forever.

A high platform has been erected on the square, and the birthday star of today's banquet slowly climbed the stairs and stood at the top of the high platform, overlooking the entire square.

At the sight of his ruler, the people of Midland City cheered, thanking him for his generosity and for granting them a sumptuous dinner.

And then, Ouyang Zhongtian gave a fifteen-minute speech to them, planning the glorious vision of the future of Zhongyu City, which caused the audience to boil again.

"Whoosh!" At the end of the speech, countless fireworks suddenly appeared in the sky above the Central Domain City, like meteors crossing the sky, rushing into the sky and blooming in the sky, forming beautiful patterns, more brilliant than the bright moon and more charming than the galaxy.

The whole birthday ceremony was extremely successful, full of glory and joy.

After that, Ouyang Zhongtian walked down the high platform and returned to his central temple, where there were already thousands of small tables, each table was only for one person to enjoy, and the amount of food on it was not much, but each piece was as precious as dragon liver and phoenix marrow, and even the fine wine was a rare elixir and jade dew.

Ouyang Zhongtian stepped on the golden carpet in the center, climbed onto his high dragon chair, and after sitting down, he ordered a beautiful woman with a high-level martial saint cultivation on the side: "Manager Cheng, you can go and notify all the guests to take the seats, you must remember that the order of entering the venue and the location of the seats are very important! First the city lord and the patriarch of the big family should be arranged at the front, then the VIPs, and finally the ordinary guests, understand?"

That beautiful woman's name was Cheng Yanxue, and she held the position of the chief manager by Ouyang Zhongtian's side, responsible for the internal affairs and finances of the entire City Lord's Mansion.

"Don't worry, I've already arranged it!" Cheng Yanxue replied with a smile.

She was about to turn around and deploy the mission, but she heard Ouyang Zhongtian's voice behind her: "Wait!"

Cheng Yanxue turned around and asked, "Do you have anything else to order?"

"One of the guests is named Xu Shan, put him at the front of the line—you can consider the position. ”

Cheng Yanxue was taken aback, what kind of person is this Xu Shan, so favored by the city lord, the front is where the city lord and the family lord are sitting, but she immediately reacted from surprise and replied: "Yes!"

After a few moments, the order was conveyed, and the servants and maids in the entire city lord's mansion began to act, and the guests were invited to the central temple one by one and sat down.

And Zhan Chen sat at the front because of Ouyang Zhongtian's arrangement, looking at the people around him, all of them were strong people with Martial Saint High Rank, and even Martial Saint Great Perfection cultivation, he really doubted that his seat was arranged wrongly.

However, at this time, in full view of everyone, it was not good for him to stand up directly and ask Ouyang Zhongtian.

The efficiency of the City Lord's Mansion was still very high, and in a short time, more than a thousand guests were properly arranged, and there was no major commotion.

After everyone sat down, Ouyang Zhongtian, who was high above the golden chair, said in a loud voice: "Today is my Ouyang Zhongtian's 3,000th birthday, thank you for gathering here to celebrate my birthday, I Ouyang Zhongtian He De He can, can be so loved by everyone, here I want to toast everyone with a glass of wine!"

With that, he lifted the golden bottle in front of the table and drank all the wine in it.

"Xie Ouyang City Lord! I wish Ouyang City Lord a blessing like the East China Sea, a longevity better than Nanshan, and hundreds of millions of years!" everyone said loudly, and then raised the wine glass in front of him and drank the wine dry.

"Hahaha, okay! I'm so happy today, let's start the banquet!" Ouyang Zhongtian announced loudly.

Zhan Chen put down his wine glass and began to look around, thinking, "Now that all the city lord guests are here, I can finally find out the so-called Black Ye City Lord!"

At this time, his chest was already full of rage, and he was eager to find the culprit who killed his brother.
