The crane-haired and child-faced old man muttered to himself.

He closed his eyes again, after all, he believed that in this Terran royal city, there should be no existence that could threaten him.

The identity of this old man is in the Terran King City, which is the existence at the top of the pyramid.

It can be said that this Terran royal city located in the northwest border, the real controller behind the scenes must be this old man sitting in the tower.

This time, in the royal city, there will be a general election for the seven great human clan sects in the northwest border.

The so-called Seven Great Sects Sect General Election is actually the selection of talented disciples from among the number of people in the entire northwest frontier.

But what was different this time was that the difficulty of the disciples selected by the seven major sects this time was much higher.

First of all.

First, it is necessary to have an aura induction that reaches more than six grades.

Second, the selector must have a spiritual root of his or her own.

Third, before the selection, there is a minimum three-grade cultivation of a martial artist.

As long as these three points are satisfied, you can be selected by any of the seven major sects and become one of them.

You must know that the Seven Great Sects are really the cultivation holy places of the human race in the northwest border.

As long as he enters any of these sects, the future is promising for any cultivator.

Therefore, for this selection, the martial artists of the entire northwest frontier are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

It is an opportunity for low-level martial artists to step into the pinnacle of life.

Just today.

The people of the Seven Great Sects have come to the Terran King City one after another.

All of them were located in a large mansion in the heart of the royal city.

"Father, I just witnessed that the former First Martial King has obtained those three kinds of world treasures from a person, and that person is still a young man of my age, what should we do about this matter?

At this moment, the young man in brocade has returned to the small courtyard where he lives.

explained to his father Chen Sheng.

Wen Yan, the father of the brocade-clothed young man, raised his eyebrows, looked at his son, and asked in a calm tone: "Are you sure you are not mistaken? That old guy really got those three kinds of treasures in the world, as far as I know, the three treasures that the old guy needs, in the entire northwest border, it is impossible to appear and have." ”

The look on the face of the young man in brocade was a little eager.

"Father, what I have seen with my own eyes is definitely not bad, and I feel that the young man who gave the old guy three kinds of world treasures, his own cultivation should have reached the peak of the Martial King, or he had already entered that realm. ”

"It's absolutely impossible. ”

The father of the young man in brocade refused on the spot.

After all, the young man in brocade was a sect master, and his own cultivation had only just reached the Martial King.

I would never believe that a young man of his son's age would reach that step.

It can be said that among the Terran powerhouses in the entire northwest border, there are no more than three who can reach that step.

"Father, you can not believe my speculation, but that old guy has really obtained the three world treasures that can heal his body injuries, if we don't stop him from taking it as soon as possible, once this old guy recovers to his peak state, it will be the time for our Sword King Sect to be destroyed. ”

At this moment, the heart of the young man in brocade clothes is eager.

He believed that he had definitely not read or heard it wrong, Bai Yu had clearly given him the three kinds of world treasures that the old man needed.

The most important thing is that the old man's demeanor speaks for itself.

"Sect Master, we can guarantee that everything the young master said is true, and we all see it is believing, and what we hear is true, and we will definitely not deceive the Sect Master. ”

The middle-aged man's attendant and several other attendants stepped forward one after another to reassure the Sword King Sect Master.

Say this to several people.

The Sword King Sect Master's face was also gloomy.

"Father, I know that the lord has returned to the royal city, why don't we inform the lord of this news? After all, the person who seriously injured the old guy at the beginning was the same lord, and the lord has already accepted our benefits, I believe he will not watch the old guy recover to his peak state, who knows if the old guy will break through the bottleneck and enter the supreme realm after taking the three world treasures?"

The young man in brocade is very clear in his heart.

Only by convincing his father what he says can he come into contact with that legendary being.

"Okay, now you follow me to meet that lord, if everything you say is true, then even if that old guy gets three kinds of world treasures, in the hands of that lord, he is just an ant. ”

The Sect Master of the Sword King Sect, seeing that his son was so firm and decisive, couldn't help but believe a little in his heart.

He himself knew that such a thing would rather be believed than not.

On the spot, he decisively took the young man in brocade to visit the human emperor.

Meanwhile.

The people of Bai Yu have already moved into the big mansion.

The area of this large mansion is very large, according to the calculation method of the outside world, it is enough to cover an area of several thousand square meters.

But because it has been uninhabited for a long time, many places have decayed and need to be carefully cleaned.

But this kind of thing is not a matter at all for these warriors.

It only took about an hour, and the whole mansion was cleaned up inside and out.

"Senior, to tell you the truth, the seriously injured person is a human emperor, and as far as I know, that human emperor has also returned to the royal city, I know that I will bring a lot of trouble to my seniors by doing this, but the junior really has nowhere to go now. ”

In a gazebo in the mansion.

Bai Yu sat on the stone bench and sipped tea, while the white-haired old man stood respectfully on Bai Yu's side, explaining to Bai Yu with a restrained expression at the moment.

Sister Lan and the others were cleaning up their rooms, and at the moment there were only Bai Yu and the white-haired old man in the pavilion.

"You old boy is still smart enough, now tell me about this matter, forget it, I'm happy not to worry about this with you today, you can cultivate here with peace of mind, and when you return to your peak state, I will help you directly step into the human emperor, then you will help me guard this house for three years, I only need three years, and you can leave after three years." ”

The white-haired old man's eyes flashed with a kind of surprise.

"Didn't you say before that I should stay here for 10 years? Why did it suddenly change to three years now? Could it be that my predecessors didn't believe that I had the determination and strength?"

The white-haired old man was once a peak martial king.

Even if Bai Yu didn't make a move, the white-haired old man could guess that this man who seemed to be a young man should be an old monster who has lived for a long time.

Such a big man can give him three kinds of world treasures at will.

This is his creation.

Just now, the white-haired old man had already made a decision in his heart, even if Bai Yu asked him to stay, as a servant, he was willing.

"Okay, okay, this matter is settled, I said let you stay for three years, three years, I am still willing to stay after three years, that's your own business. ”

Bai Yu waved his hand to signal that the white-haired old man could go.

The latter naturally did not have any slackness, and immediately bowed and left the pavilion.

Bai Yu sat in the pavilion, looking at the clear blue sky, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull a touch of the signature evil again.

"It seems that I have not come back for 10,000 years, and this desolate world has become earth-shattering, and the former human race has probably forgotten the rules passed down by their ancestors, and they dare to collude with foreign races. ”

He muttered to himself.

At this time, Sister Lan, who changed into a black skirt again, walked into the gazebo.

"I have something to tell you, maybe this matter is harmless to you, not too important, but I still want to talk to you. ”

Walking into the pavilion, the seating was on the stone pier opposite the white clouds.

Sister Lan's eyes flashed with a touch of tenderness, and her voice was also gentle like water.

Bai Yu could only cry and laugh helplessly in his heart.

"Tell me, I'm interested to know what you have to say to me. ”

In fact, Bai Yu's heart was not clear, Sister Lan had already developed feelings for him between men and women.

But Bai Yu could not accept it.

Even if Sister Lan is as beautiful as a fairy, for Bai Yu, she is just a woman.

"This matter is also what I once heard my master say, that old man used to be, the first martial king in the northwest, he has a halo of thousands of eyes, and he is expected to be able to enter the genius of the human emperor, but at that time he was still very young, because of such a move, he offended a person who should not be offended, that person used a treasure, in exchange for a human emperor to make a promise, so that he suffered a heavy blow, and his cultivation has fallen to the first level of the martial king, and it is extremely difficult to take another step forward, and the meridians of his body are also damaged, so he can no longer cultivate。 ”

"Now that you have given him the three kinds of world treasures that it needs to be restored, it will definitely attract the hatred of the famous emperor, and the forces that hired the human emperor to make a move, and it is likely that it will come to the door soon. ”

The sister talked eloquently and said a piece about the experience of the white-haired old man.

Bai Yu tapped a finger on the table, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at the gentle Sister Lan opposite.

"Be yourself, I will make you the emperor of people before I leave, at that time, I will find a man who can be seen and marry, the world will be very chaotic in the future, and after 10 years, I will come back and send you to another world, where you don't have to bear any danger, this can be regarded as a kind of compensation for your protection of Jiang Xiaobai." ”

Bai Yu believed that Sister Lan could understand what she said.

Without further ado, he got up and left the garden.

Sister Lan sat quietly in the gazebo, and the initial calm in her eyes slowly turned to firmness.

"I know you don't like me, but who let you appear in my world at this time, I, Qin Lan, have only married the most powerful man in my life, and you are the person I have been looking forward to appearing in my heart, I will let myself be more and more restrained until the day when I am worthy of you. ”

Bai Yu, who had just walked out of the back garden, couldn't help but sneeze.

"This woman's obsession is quite heavy, alas, wronged!"

Soon it was evening.

The rest of the people had already packed up their rooms, had an early dinner, and went back to their rooms to rest.

After all, it's a long journey.

Everyone is physically and mentally exhausted and needs to get a good night's sleep and refresh themselves.

At night.

Bai Yu sat alone on a small building in the middle of the mansion, looking at the starry sky, and calculated in his heart.

And in this time period, there are other people who are also divining.

The top floor of that tower in the heart of the Intramuros.

The sect masters from the seven major sects are all doing it, and the young man in brocade clothes is also accompanying his father among them.

On the opposite side of the sect masters of the Seven Great Sects, on the futon sat the crane-haired and child-faced old man.

And this crane-haired and childlike old man is the real control of this Terran royal city, and he is also the backer behind this Terran royal city.

A human emperor.

No matter in the Flood Desolate Continent, among any race, it is a strong person who carries the crown.

Now that this crane-haired and childlike human emperor has returned to the royal city, the sect masters of the seven major sects are bound to come to visit.

But tonight's visit was for something else.

"Your Excellency, this time I will visit overnight, there is an important matter, I want to tell you. ”

The young father of the brocade cloth arched his hand and said to the crane-haired old man.

"I've basically guessed what you're trying to do, but I can't figure out the point, so tell me about it. ”

A word from the crane-haired and child-faced old man.

made the young man in brocade feel that this adult seemed to be a little suspicious of pretending.

Although I thought so in my heart, I really didn't dare to say it.

"Report to the lord, the sword king, was given three kinds of world treasures by a strange strong man, and the strange strong man has also lived in his former mansion, in Xia Quanzi witnessed it with his own eyes, hearing is believing, the sword king did indeed obtain the three world treasures given by the strange strong man, I believe that soon the sword king will return to the peak of strength. ”

"Actually, this is not the point, the point is that your Excellency once said that the technique you have used, once the Sword King recovers with the help of those three world treasures, there is a 90% chance that he will directly cross a realm and reach the throne of the human emperor. ”

After listening to the story of the young man in brocade.

The old man with a childish face couldn't help but have a deep cold glint in his eyes.

"I said that I was divining the heavenly machine, always vague, it turned out to be him, and I could shield the heavenly machine, so that I couldn't calculate it, it should be the strange strong man, making ghosts in secret, even if the other party is also a human emperor, the old man I will not let go of the sword king. ”

As he spoke, the old man had already stood up from the futon.

"I might as well tell you, this time I'm coming back, because a big event is about to happen, the northwest border, and several other emperors will also come to the royal city in the next few days, and we have to negotiate a big event, that is, the fierce beasts in the forbidden area of the northwest border, it is likely to riot, I think that strange strong man also came because of this matter. ”

A few words from him down.

The faces of the sect masters of the seven major sects suddenly changed.

However, there is a forbidden area in the northwestern frontier area, which has been preserved from ancient times.

As for what is left of the exclusion zone, no one knows.

Even those dynasties of the other races and human races in the Flood Desolate Continent had never dared to attack the idea of forbidden areas.

The reason is simple.

At the beginning, there were many strong people who entered the forbidden area to investigate, but in the end, no one came out alive.

This includes several human emperors.

And according to legend, there was once a great emperor in the central area of the human race, who also entered the forbidden area, but in the end there was no news.

From time immemorial to the present day, there have been three riots in the exclusion zone.

Every riot has been brought to the entire northwest border, and even to the western region of the Flood Continent, all ethnic groups have suffered the cruelty of the forbidden area riot.

"My lord, are you telling the truth?"

The father of the young man in brocade asked directly.

Once there is a real riot in the forbidden area, the first thing that will bear the brunt is that their seven major sects must resist the fierce beasts that come out of the forbidden area.

The beasts in the forbidden area are quite brutal.

The demon beast riot that Bai Yu experienced in the Hidden Dragon Mountain before, the scene was already quite grand and terrifying.

But compared to the fierce beast riot in the forbidden area, the fierce beast riot in the forbidden area is a natural disaster.

"This time the forbidden area riot is true, I left Wang Cheng for three years, and the other three emperors in the northwest border, went to the Mansion Dynasty, where we met the two emperors, this time the four of us rushed back, it is because the Heavenly Master of the Great Xia Dynasty found signs of imminent riot in the forbidden area, and the forbidden area is located in our northwest border. ”

The crane-haired and child-faced old man glanced at the sect masters of the seven major sects, and the faces of his relatives turned pale.

It's just too big.

Once there is a riot in the forbidden area, the foundation of the seven major sects that have been operated for thousands of years will suddenly come to naught.

"Lord Renhuang, this time there is a riot in the forbidden area, is it only our Terran in the northwest border who is one-armed to block the car?"

"Lord of the Human Emperor, if this is really the case, it is better for us to completely abandon the northwest frontier and move all the human races to the Mansion Dynasty, with the Supreme God of the Elephant Dynasty suppressing it, I believe that we will be able to stop the natural disasters caused by the riots in the forbidden area. ”

"That's right, with the forces of our northwest border alone, the murderers in the forbidden area rioted, and the final result was only one way to destroy. ”

"My lord, please think twice, after all, our seven major sects can have today's heritage, and it is not easy to be directly direct, once the riot in the forbidden area occurs, the family wealth accumulated by our seven major sects will be gone. ”

The old man with a childish face, listen to the words of the sect masters of the seven major sects.

The look on his face gradually became indifferent.

"You all shut up for me, this time the forbidden area riot, not only our Northwest Frontier Terran Race will resist, but the entire Northwest Frontier, other races will resist, and the Great Xia Dynasty, Demon Beast Dynasty and other major races will participate in the resistance. ”

"Because this riot in the forbidden area is very unusual, once we can't resist it, it will be a disaster for the entire Flood Desolate Continent. ”

"I won't tell you anything, before I came back, the two emperors of the Great Xia Dynasty had already gone to other dynasties to ask the strong to come and support, don't think about it, if you can avoid the riot in the forbidden area this time, the rest of the southeast, south, south, and three regions, there will be strong people coming to support, so no one can escape this time. ”

The air on the entire top floor froze.

For the next minute, no one spoke.

The sect masters of the seven major sects clearly understood in their hearts that what the old man with a childish face said was definitely not a joke.

"I know that your Sword King Sect has a deep hatred with the Sword King, but this time the recent riot needs a strong person, I am willing to come forward to resolve the grievances between the two of you, if you can, then everyone is happy, if not, I will personally solve the Sword King." ”

"The matter is settled like this, you all go back to rest, the selection of the seven major sects will continue, after all, you can't bring panic to the people at the bottom, if anyone dares to reveal the news, don't blame me for being ruthless, whoever reveals the news, I will destroy his whole family, which sect reveals the news, I will destroy his entire sect. ”

The crane had a childish face, and the old man dropped this sentence.

Looking up at the starry sky, he sighed.

"Early tomorrow morning, you accompany me to visit that strange strong man, if the other party gives me this face, this matter will be easily solved, if the other party does not give me a face, then I will take you to the hinterland of the sword king. ”

The voice also echoed in the ears of the Seven Great Sect Sect Masters.

And the crane-haired and child-faced old man had disappeared in front of them out of thin air.

"Father, do you think that the Human Emperor, can you really help us ease the grudge between us and the Sword King?"

The look on the face of the young man in brocade clothes did not stretch, but became more dignified.

The sect masters of the other six major sects were silent.

After all, the development of this matter today is no longer under their control, judging from the news that came out of the mouth of the Emperor of People.

This time the matter of the Sword King is not important, what matters is the upcoming riot in the forbidden area.

"Everyone, this time there is a riot in the near area, what are your plans? Our seven major sects can reach the core strength of the northwest border, once the fierce beast really rushes out, then the first to resist must be our seven major sects, once we go up, then it is impossible to hide our family background. ”

The young father of the brocade didn't pay attention to the matter of the Sword King.

Instead, the focus was on this time the Exclusion Zone riot.

As a sect master, he knew in his heart that even if the Sword King could really be promoted to the Human Emperor, if he wanted to target their sect, there would be the remaining 4 Human Emperors, and the Great Emperor from the Great Xia Dynasty would come forward to stop the Sword King.

So he's not worried about it.

"What can we do? If something happens, if we don't show up, then destruction awaits us. ”

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, something happened, and I can't hide if I want to, so I can only face it bravely. ”

"What can we do? In the face of riots in the restricted area, if we don't take action, we can only destroy. ”

The final result was unanimous dispatch of troops.

The young man in brocade is always a little unsteady in his heart, but his father has already made a decision, and he has no way to change it.

And so the night passed.

In the early morning of the second day, the sect masters of the seven major sects once again appeared outside the tower.

"Have you all had breakfast? If you haven't eaten, let's have breakfast first, and after dinner, we will go to visit the strange strong man, presumably the other party has long expected us to visit back today." ”

From the tower, there were loud words belonging to the crane-haired and child-faced old man.
