Late at night, my cousin and Fan Qingyan arrived at the imperial city of Tianzhou together.

……

The next day, the bells and drums rang out in unison, the sound of the salute echoed over the entire imperial city, there were luxurious chariots walking in the sky from time to time, dignitaries and dignitaries from all over the world gathered in the back garden of the palace, after washing and tidying up, under the leadership of the master and the master, I walked to the grand ceremony with my sister, Su Yan and my cousin.

The grand ceremony was chosen in the Temple of Heaven for the royal family sacrifice, the circular venue was almost overcrowded, at a glance, there were at least 50,000 spectators without 100,000, and the center was a majestic platform, the selection method of the upper realm ceremony was rough and simple, and the final eight winners obtained the qualification to enter the world ceremony.

In the air, three flying palaces are horizontal, one of which belongs to the Empress of Tianxin, and there is a deep and strong aura of the Holy Dao inside, surging and intimidating.

The other two flying halls stand with the imperial flags of the Linyuan Empire and the Fire Feather Empire, no need to think about it, the Linyuan Emperor and the Fire Feather Emperor have already been there in person, no wonder the Imperial City is so heavily guarded, not only the army of the Tianxin Empire, but also the armies of the other two empires are patrolling.

Sit down one by one, and the position Shang Zhuyue arranged for us is very high, which is extremely noble.

In the distance, with a long groan, I saw a group of people flying into the center at an astonishing speed, all of them wearing Confucian clothes, very familiar, and there were dozens of people in total.

"What kind of people are these people, so arrogant?" asked my cousin with a smile.

"The people from the Linyuan Empire's Imperial Mansion almost got into a fight with us yesterday. I said.

"Hmph, so arrogant...... When you encounter them on the battlefield, you will not show mercy. The cousin pursed her red lips, and there was an indescribable beauty.

Not long after, a group of strong men in crimson robes entered the venue in the distance, the eyes of the first person sprayed thin and sharp, and the breath of the whole person was like a sharp sword, fierce and pressing, and a group of people around him were not weak, there were several young saints, and the group of people was extraordinary, and they fell into the viewing seat, holding their arms in their arms, looking like they were in their chests.

I frowned, "Who are these people?"

This time it was my cousin's turn to know, and said in a low voice: "The people of Huo Ze Palace, it is said that it is Tianjiao that the Fire Feather Emperor has carefully cultivated for many years, in the past few hundred years, the strength of the Tianxin Empire as a whole has the absolute upper hand, and the two empires of Linyuan and Fire Feather together are not opponents, and today the people of Huo Ze Palace are here, presumably the Fire Feather Emperor has already felt that the time is ripe and wants to win back a city at the grand ceremony." ”

Lin Muzhao squinted his beautiful eyes: "The person at the head should be the legendary chief master of the Huo Ze Palace, Tan Rang, who already has the cultivation of the late stage of the median Sword Saint at a young age, it is said that in the Huo Ze Palace, almost no one can catch Tan Rang's ten swords, this person's sword path is very exaggerated, if we encounter it, we must be cautious." ”

"Well, got it. I nodded.

On the side, Shizun Shangguan Ziyi looked at the misty clouds in the distance with a pair of deep eyes, and said with a smile: "Xiao Xuan doesn't have to be cautious, among the younger generation at this grand ceremony, no one is your opponent, you have passed the stage of hiding your strength and protecting your self, now you just need to let go of your hands to fight and promote the prestige of my academy." ”

Shangguan Nanfeng also smiled: "Yes......"

I'm a little excited.

Although Shizun said so, I am not absolutely sure that my cousin and Su Yan can beat them, but if I select eight people at the ceremony, I may not be able to meet them.

"Heavenly Wind Sword Saint, White Deer Sword Saint, it's been a long time!"

In the air, a cloud-shrouded figure bloomed brightly, and out of thin air, the person's whole body exuded the qi of a taboo-level powerhouse, and it seemed that he was from a foreign land.

"Nor is it a master. ”

Shizun and Shibo Qi Qi Shi returned the salute.

The figure of that person flashed away, and he barely caught his figure under the eyes of my kendo god, turning into an inconspicuous old monk and sitting on a spectator seat far away, without a little bit of sage shelf, and then, there were many strong men with unfathomable strength who greeted the two sword saints, very polite, this grand ceremony is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger!

At the same time, it also reflects the improvement of the status of Shizun and Shibo after breaking through the Titled Sword Saint, if they are only Titled Sword Saints, I am afraid that the strong people at the sage level will not be so polite to them, after all, the two taboo-level Sword Saints are already the top powerhouses in the upper realm, except for the powerhouses at the level of Shenteng Tree and Confucian Zun, they are already not afraid of anyone.

At this time, Li Qingyin looked at me with a pair of beautiful eyes and said, "Foodie, you're going to start fighting beasts in a while, are you ready?"

"Trapped beast fight?" I was surprised.

"That's right......" She opened her mouth slightly, and she was also very surprised: "You guy...... You can't even look at the roster and rules of the festival in the room, do you?"

"I didn't pay attention......"

Suddenly, Li Qingyin's beautiful fairy face was full of helplessness, and said: "That's the case, the Upper Realm Grand Ceremony is actually only one day, in order to save time, the first one is the trapped beast fight, divide all the candidates into thirty-two groups, enter the thirty-two battle platforms, only one person in each group can win, and directly determine the top thirty-two, so it becomes simple, as long as the strongest eight people are determined from the thirty-two people." ”

"I see, no problem, it's a little ......"

Lin Muzhao chuckled: "Senior brother, don't be too light on the enemy, even if it is a trapped beast fight, you can be placed in a group with a very strong person." ”

"Got it. ”

……

At this moment, a ball of sword dao holy light bloomed in the air, Shang Zhuyue's figure stood in the holy light, holding the holy decree in his hand, and began to read out the will of the Empress of Tianxin, just to welcome all distinguished guests from all sides, and create the immortal glory of the upper realm and the like, when Shang Zhuyue finished reading it, a majestic general stepped into the air, it was Gu Peng, the head of the ten marshals, he held a military badge in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Now, start grouping!"

As he spoke, Gu Peng suddenly smashed the military badge in his hand, and suddenly the military badge turned into countless fragments and flew to all parts of the venue, and several of them also flew in the direction of me and my cousin, Li Qingyin, and Lin Muzhao, and fell in front of us one by one, resonating faintly with the imprint of life, and the fragments of the badge in front of me bloomed with the words "eleven".

Group 11, that's right.

Caught the military medal, looked up but touched Gu Peng's gaze, he knew me, in the land of exile we were born and died, a certain cause and effect, his gaze is also relatively friendly, it seems that I have been regarded as a member of his faction in the military department, and in fact, this is also the case, my cousin is also a member of the military department, and it is not a person of the old school.

"Please all the candidates enter the corresponding battle platform of their respective groups and prepare for the trapped beast fight!

Gu Peng's voice contained holy might, echoing above the venue, constantly stirring.

"Go ahead. ”

Shizun and Shibo said indifferently.

We nodded one after another, the four of them turned into four rays of light and flew out, I went straight to the No. 11 venue, my cousin rushed to the No. 4 platform, Li Qingyin was the thirteenth, and Lin Muzhao was thirty-one, according to this grouping, we were destined not to meet in the duel.

"Uhhh

The moment the body fell into the battle platform, I suddenly felt that the whole person was rapidly becoming smaller, and the battle platform that originally looked like it was only ten zhang square became extremely large, and it turned out to be a refined magic weapon, and when I really fell into the battle platform, this battle platform was already as big as a valley, and there were even ancient trees and rocks everywhere.

Around him, there were constantly figures falling, falling into the battle platform one after another, including saints and half-saints.

This time the Upper Realm Grand Ceremony was different from the last time, it was that the monks within a hundred years were chosen, and the last time it was a monk within fifty years, so that Li Qingyin could become the first person in the Grand Ceremony in the Semi-Holy Realm, this time it was completely different, there were saints over fifty years old, and it was even more difficult to stand out.

In an instant, hundreds of people entered the battle platform, and the number of candidates was quite large, according to such a grouping, the total number should have been more than 3,000 people, including many leaders of various clans.

……

Most of the people didn't know each other, but there were three people from the Linyuan Empire's National Scholar Mansion together, and they looked at me fiercely, the strongest of them was the next Sword Saint, about fifty years old, he was a middle-aged man, his eyes glanced in my direction, and then he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, even if you enter the top thirty-two, it is enough to glorify the lintel, but there is a real powerhouse in this group, and the master of the holy list is Bu Yixuan...... Why don't we join forces and force Bu Yixuan out first?"

The other two members of the Guoshi Mansion said in unison: "Agreed!"

Most of the rest of the people chose to be silent, only a few people also showed eager looks, the lower sword saint of the Guoshi Mansion saw this, and continued: "This is a strategy, not for personal anger, we all want to contribute to the upper realm, righteousness is in front, when everyone is brave, the opportunity is on the top, how can there be a reason to be virtuous?"

This remark made many people tempted, and finally dozens of strong people responded, saying: "Yes, although Bu Yixuan is strong, he may not be the most suitable person to go to the world festival.

The crowd is going to huddle.

I couldn't help laughing, suddenly the sword intent burst out all over my body, and I shot directly, the fire of the world surrounded my body, and I raised my hand is a finger, and a wisp of white deer sword technique burst out and went straight to the next sword saint of the Guoshi Mansion, and said: "If you can catch my three swords, I will guarantee you to enter the top thirty-two, how about it?!"

"How daring!"

The lower sword saint shouted, stood up, and the long sword swung into the air, colliding with my sword technique.

"Peng~~~"

He does have some skills, the first sword shook together, but he didn't completely fall behind, and suddenly the evil was born to the side of the guts, and he raised his qi by a large margin, and shouted: "You, but that's it!"

I smiled secretly, the first sword only came out of one percent, it was just a temptation, and he actually took it seriously.

The second sword, a sword forgets the dust!

This time, it took fifty percent of the force.

"Peng!"

With a loud bang, this lower sword saint flew upside down in the air, spitting blood from his mouth, if I hadn't withdrawn most of my sword intent, this sword would have been enough to smash it.

A dignified lower-ranking sword saint was defeated in just two moves, which immediately shocked the remaining two people in the Guoshi Mansion.

And I stepped onto the battle platform in the troubled times, with a wave of the fairy bone sword, the shadow of the quadruple sword soul exploded, the fire of the world was swirling, and a heavy field oppression surged out, and said in a deep voice: "You are not my opponents, step down! Who dares to act rashly again, don't blame me for being unkind!"

"Boom-"

A wisp of the fire of the world turned into a breeze and swept across the battlefield in all directions, and suddenly everyone retreated, one by one, their faces turned pale, not to mention the challenge, at this time, no one can have the slightest fighting spirit, the coercion of the fire of the holy ruins, this is not a joke, for a while, everyone shook their heads, pulled up and flew up and chose to give up.
