Chapter 143: The Sword Conference
The King of Huolong County pulled Zuo Longlin down, hurriedly apologized, and said: "Xiao'er is just a little impulsive, so he will offend Lord Shangshu, I hope Lord Shangshu will not be angry." β
Ning Shangshu snorted coldly and said, "King of Fire Dragon County, you must discipline your son more in the future, so as not to cause trouble to the Fire Dragon County Country." Ning'an, send-off. β
An old housekeeper came out and sent the Fire Dragon County King and Zuo Longlin out.
Ning Shangshu left King Yunwu and Zhang Ruochen behind, and communicated together for a long time. After the night banquet, he sent someone to send King Yunwu and Zhang Ruochen back to the manor.
Back at the manor, Zhang Ruochen pinched the sword post in his hand, looked at the words on it, and really couldn't figure it out, why did the thirteen county lords send him the sword post?
Zhang Ruochen put away the Sword Discussion Sticker, stopped thinking about it, and entered the inner space of the space-time crystal, preparing to refine another drop of Semi-Saint True Liquid before the Sword Discussion Conference.
Two days later, Zhang Ruochen took the sword post and went directly to the palace of Qianshui County to participate in the sword conference.
The so-called "Sword Conference" is actually to select horses for the thirteen county lords, and only geniuses who have been screened by the thirteen county lords are eligible to participate.
In addition, even the King of Yunwu County could not step into the palace.
It can be said that this is a gathering of the young generation of masters, and the top geniuses of various countries gather together to compete for the sword and sword, and only the strongest swordsman can marry the thirteen county lords.
The place where the sword discussion conference was held was chosen in Jin Fengwan, who was in the palace of the Thousand Waters King, guarded by three thousand forbidden troops, and could only be entered by virtue of the sword discussion post.
The palace of the Thousand Waters King is unusually magnificent, with tall vermilion halls and hanging eaves towers. Some of these large squares were enclosed with powerful fourth-order brute beasts, locked with iron chains with thick bowls, exuding a terrifying and powerful aura.
Even if it was just an ordinary forbidden army guarding Jin Fengwan, it was also the cultivation of the Xuanji Realm, and it was not comparable to the forbidden army of Yunwu County at all.
It only takes one thousand forbidden troops to defeat the 100,000 army of Yunwu County.
A small commander of the forbidden army in the Great Pole of the Xuanji Realm stopped Zhang Ruochen's way, and said with a very serious expression: "Please show the sword post." β
Zhang Ruochen took out Yinzhu's post and showed it to the commander of the forbidden army.
The eyes of the little commander of the forbidden army immediately became respectful, bowed slightly, and said, "Childe, please come in." β
When Zhang Ruochen walked into Jin Fengwan, he saw that there were many rare medicinal materials planted in the garden, exuding a pleasant medicinal fragrance. Moreover, the aura in the air was very concentrated, almost four times that of the Yunwu County King's Palace.
Cultivating in such an environment, the cultivation speed of a martial artist is definitely much faster than elsewhere.
Above Jin Fengwan's pool, a formation was arranged. In the sky above the formation, there was a nine-meter-square battle martial platform.
At this moment, many geniuses have come to the poolside, not only the princes of other counties, but also some big families and big sects in Qianshui County, each of them is a master of the younger generation, none of them are ugly, and none of them are mediocre.
The mediocre and ugly people have long been excluded by the thirteen county lords.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen saw a familiar figure, it was the first master in the East Courtyard of Wushi Xuegong, Xun Guihai.
He actually came to participate in the Sword Debate Conference!
Xun Guihai sat not far from the thirteen county lords, wearing the brocade martial arts robe of the Wushi School Palace, looking handsome and handsome. Just by looking at the position where he was sitting, it could be seen that the thirteen county lords were quite optimistic about him.
In addition to Xun Guihai, there were three other young men sitting beside the thirteen county lords.
The bodies of the three young men all exuded a powerful momentum, and each of them was no weaker than Xun Guihai.
When he came to Jin Fengwan, Zhang Ruochen had a strange feeling in his heart, he obviously came to Qianshui County to ask for help, why did he want to come to participate in this inexplicable sword conference?
What's even more strange is that how can there be so many geniuses gathered here from all over the world?
Isn't everyone coming for help?
"In Xia Chen Tianshu, I don't know the name of Gongzi's honorable name?" A young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, at some point, appeared next to Zhang Ruochen and asked with a smile.
Zhang Ruochen glanced at Chen Tianshu and found that this person was extremely handsome, better than Xun Guihai.
Zhang Ruochen said: "Zhang Ruochen." β
Chen Tianshu looked a little familiar, stared at the thirteen county lords in the distance, and said with a smile: "You also want to win the first place in the Sword Conference and hold the beauty?"
"Huh?" Zhang Ruochen was slightly stunned.
What does it mean to "hold the beauty"?
Chen Tianshu said: "Look at the people below, all of them want to show amazing talents and capture the hearts of the thirteen county lords. But I don't know that they are all just green leaves, and the only people who really have hope are the four who sit on it. 'Xun Guihai' of Daqian County, 'Tuoba Linsu' of Longchuan County, 'Liu Xin', Zuo Xiang's protΓ©gΓ©, and 'Qing Chibai', a half-saint disciple. β
"Wait...... What did you just say, at the first level of the Sword Discussion Conference, you can capture the hearts of the thirteen county lords?" Zhang Ruochen said.
Chen Tianshu said in surprise: "Don't you know? β
Zhang Ruochen said: "......"
Chen Tianshu looked at Zhang Ruochen's expression, suddenly realized, and said, "Could it be that you will stand at the back, it turns out that you don't know the purpose of the Sword Conference at all." It's okay, anyway, we can't compete with those four top talents, so let's just stand here and watch a good show!"
"I see!"
Zhang Ruochen recalled what King Yunwu had told him, and finally understood what was going on.
The king of Yunwu County actually wanted him to marry the thirteen county lords, as long as the Yunwu County and the Qianshui County Kingdom were married, then the county lords of the four directions naturally did not dare to attack the Yunwu County Kingdom again.
It's just that Zhang Ruochen doesn't like the thirteen county lords at all, and even a little disgusted, so it is naturally impossible to marry her.
Chen Tianshu is right, he can't fight anyway, so it's okay to stay and take a look. Geniuses from all over the world come together, and such a grand event is rare.
The people who came to participate in the Sword Conference, in addition to the geniuses from all over the world, there were also some other county lords and some noble daughters of Qianshui County.
If they fall in love with a genius, they can also take the initiative to show favor to that genius and express their love.
Any force will spare no effort to win over a potential genius, and even get closer to that genius by marriage.
This is the way for big families and big sects to survive for a long time!
At the same time, geniuses also need to rely on the cultivation resources provided by these big forces in order to become truly powerful.
It can be said that they have a mutually beneficial and win-win relationship with each other, and marriage is just the simplest and most direct way to build a relationship.
Not far from Jin Fengwan, there is a Flying Pavilion.
The Flying Heaven Pavilion looked like a huge attic suspended in mid-air, but in fact, it was a ninth-order true martial weapon.
The surface of the Flying Heaven Pavilion was engraved with formation inscriptions, and even if it was suspended above Jin Fengwan, no one could find its existence.
At this moment, the king and queen of Qianshui County, as well as more than a dozen beautiful concubines, all stood on the top of the Flying Heaven Pavilion, looking in the direction of Jin Fengwan.
In addition, the top ten ministers of the Qianshui County are also in the Feitian Pavilion, including Ning Shangshu.
In fact, the ten powerful ministers also represent the ten major forces of the Qianshui County State after the royal family, and each of them is much stronger than the middle county country.
The king of Qianshui County looked like he was in his forties, showing his beard, wearing a crown, wearing a golden robe, exuding an imperial aura on his body, and said: "Zuo Xiang, who do you think can win the first place in this sword conference and marry the thirteen county lords." β
The left prime minister of Qianshui County, the head of the top ten powerful ministers, looks like a crane hair and a childish face, giving people a feeling of fairy wind and bones, and said with a smile: "The old man's protΓ©gΓ©, Liu Xin, is only twenty-two years old, and has reached the late stage of the Earth Pole Realm, and he has cultivated the sword intent realm to the high-level realm where the sword walks with his heart, and he may have a chance to win the first place." β
The general, Gongsun Lin, said with a smile: "Liu Xin's talent is indeed very high, but it's a pity that he is much older than the thirteen county lords. On the contrary, I think that Qing Chibai's chances are much greater, he is only twenty years old this year, and he has already broken through to the middle stage of the Earth Extreme Realm, and he is also a personal disciple of the Blood Sky Half-Saint, and the sword intent realm is unfathomable. β
The right minister, who was sitting not far away, said with a smile: "Liu Xin and Qing Chibai are both the anti-heaven heroes of our Qianshui County, and the old man feels that since the king has sent invitations to the surrounding countries, he should give the princes of those middle and lower counties a chance." β
"For example, Xun Guihai of the Great Qianjun Kingdom, although he is only a cultivator of the Great Perfection of the Xuanji Realm, he has reached the fourteenth in the "Xuanbang", and he is definitely a genius with infinite potential. β
......
The top ten powerful ministers, all of whom are strongly recommending the juniors who have a relationship with them, are blushing.
The King of Qianshui County saw Ning Shangshu, who was sitting silently on the side, and said with a smile: "Ning Shangshu, everyone has juniors to participate in the Sword Conference, and the Ning family is also the top family of Qianshui County, didn't they send a genius to participate?"
Ning Shangshu smiled and said, "The younger generation of the Ning family does have a few geniuses on the Xuan List who are quite good, but it's a pity that they are too far behind Liu Xin, Qing Chibai, and Xun Guihai. The old man did not let them participate, so as not to be embarrassed. β
Ning Shangshu's words changed, and he said: "However, the old man also wants to recommend a genius to the king." He is not a half-saint disciple, nor is he a descendant of a great force, nor does he have the cultivation of the Earth Extreme Realm. However, he is a top prodigy. β
The King of Qianshui County was a little interested, and said with a smile: "Ning Shangshu, who are you referring to?"
"His name is Zhang Ruochen, the prince of the inferior county country Yunwu County, he is seventeen years old this year, and his martial arts cultivation has reached the extreme position in the Xuanji Realm......"
Before Ning Shangshu finished speaking, the general Gongsun Lin, who was sitting on the side, laughed and said, "It's too ordinary, it's too ordinary, these geniuses, in our Qianshui County, even if there are not thousand, there are eight hundred." β
Ning Shangshu smiled and said, "General, after you listen to the old man, it's not too late to say this again." Zhang Ruochen only started the Shenwu Imprint at the age of sixteen, and until now, his cultivation time has been less than a year. β
Hearing this, the smiles on the faces of the other nine powerful ministers completely disappeared.
