Chapter 1 First encounter in Jiangyue City
Between the mountains and mountains, above the sky, a young man in white looked into the distance. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info He was dressed in a white shirt, and his long silver hair moved in the wind, flowing like a fairy. However, it is such a person who is like an immortal and a god, but he is sighing: "That is Jiangyue City... I don't know if this news is true..."He sighed, his ethereal voice like that of an old man, with the breath of time. Looking along his line of sight, I don't know if it was dozens of miles or hundreds of miles away, an ancient city was faintly visible.
Jiangyue City, an ancient city in the ancient land. It has a history of nearly 1,000 years and is a medium-sized city on the mainland. It occupies an area of tens of miles and has a population of nearly one million. Tall walls surround the city, and the lowest point is several feet high. It was a huge city, the center of a land of thousands of miles, and there was no greater city within this range.
The main wall of Jiangyue City has three wide and tall gates, and a large number of people pass through it every day. Recently, the flow of people has surged, and you can know the reason with a little inquiry. Within a radius of thousands of miles, there is a large auction to be held here. This is a grand gathering of cultivators, and it only happens once every 20 years, so how many 20 years can ordinary people have? And cultivators are a group of special beings. They are the de facto rulers of the continent and possess extraordinary powers. And this grand event was jointly organized by the cultivator forces in this region, so it attracted many powerful cultivators to come, and there were even cultivators who came from thousands of miles away to participate in this grand event. It was at such a time that the silver-haired man in white or the mysterious man named "Tianhong" came here.
Jiangyue City was crowded with people, dense but not crowded, and the streets were wide enough for five carriages to pass side by side. At this time, the city was full of cultivators in strange costumes. These people all came to participate in this auction event, and Tianhong was mixed in such a group of people. They are all cultivators, existences that make ordinary people awe. In this way, Tianhong's appearance is not so conspicuous.
The inner city is the place with the most cultivators. Although the auction did not officially start until three days later, there were not many cultivators wandering around the inner city at this time.
"A product of Juyuan Dan can make ordinary people gather Yuan and accept qi, and a bottle only costs a hundred gold...."
"The magic weapon is on sale, only 300 gold is a piece, and you can come and see it if you don't buy it. ”
"Family secret skills, family secret skills, please come here if you are sincere. ”...... Tianhong's goal is clear, and he has no interest in the cries on the side of the road. He came here for something, something he'd been looking for for a long time. This thing will appear at this Jiangyue City auction, this is the news he has gotten, as for the authenticity can only be judged when he sees it.
Suddenly, the road ahead became crowded, and a crowd of people was crowded there, and there was a lot of noise. However, through their conversation, Tianhong also made it clear what was happening in front of him. For a moment, Tenhiro was about to move on, but eventually he stopped and approached the crowd of onlookers. Came to the outermost part of the crowd of onlookers, and did not squeeze inward.
A little girl of five or six years old, sitting on the cold stone slab, cried softly. She looks pretty and cute, and her big eyes flicker, which makes people feel pity. From her tattered clothes, it is clear that she is in a terrible situation. And in front of her, centered on a richly dressed young man, a total of seven people stood. In the face of the little girl, the noble son led by him did not have the slightest pity. He continued to say to the little girl fiercely: "Stinky girl, you stained my son's new clothes, and if you don't lose money, my son will sell you to a brothel!" and the six people around him also echoed: "Yes, yes, if you stain our son's clothes, don't want to leave without losing money!!"
"Woo... But, but, big brother, I'm now, now... I don't have that much money...", the little girl said intermittently in a fearful childish voice. She looked around helplessly, trying to get help from others. It's a pity that everywhere you look, you can see evasive eyes. None of them dared to make a move, even if there were true cultivators among them. There is only one reason for this situation, and that is the identity of the noble prince - the son of the city lord of Jiangyue City! The lord of a city, especially the city lord of a medium-sized city, is not something that ordinary cultivators can provoke. Even ordinary medium-sized forces would not dare to arbitrarily move the administrator of a medium-sized city belonging to the empire. And even the weakest middle force has a powerful cultivator in the realm of "king level". Such a strong man can be compared to an army of "tens of thousands" in one person. And in the crowd at this time, the strongest cultivator except Tianhong had only reached the realm of the "Nayuan Period", and he was like an ant compared to the king level. Everyone is afraid of powerful beings, even cultivators who are more than ten times stronger than ordinary people.
The little girl's answer made the noble boy very dissatisfied, and the attitude of the people around him did not attract his attention in the slightest. The noble prince frowned and gave the order to his followers. When several people beside him heard this, they all rushed to the little girl. And the noble son was a little bored, thinking to himself: My father is the lord of the city, and I am the son of the lord of the city, who dares to provoke myself in this capacity. As long as you don't go out of the city, you are not afraid of anyone. Just when the noble son was thinking like this, he made a move. He floated like a shadow to the little girl's side and gently took her into his arms. Then he got up and looked at the group of noble sons. I only heard him say: "How much, I'll pay." ”
"This kid is going to be out of luck..."
"Yes, you dare to go against the son of the city lord. ”
...... The crowd of onlookers was not only not optimistic about Tianhong's actions, but also discussed a lot, each with their own opinions.
"Boy, don't you have long eyes, you dare to stop my son-in-law from doing things!" Seeing this, several people who originally planned to move the little girl couldn't help but shout angrily, and rushed towards Tianhong at the same time. And the noble prince narrowed his eyes, and then watched his subordinates do their work, without saying a word.
"Hah!!" shouted angrily, and several people struck. Waving his fist, the vitality in his body moves and attaches to it. These people were all cultivators, and they attacked Tianhong from different directions. Faced with such a situation, Tianhong's expression was flat, holding the little girl in one hand, and sweeping forward with the other, a faint fluctuation of vitality emanating from him was almost noticeable.
"Touch!!" There was a few vibrations, and I saw these people flying out sideways and falling heavily to the ground.
"Who are you?" Seeing this, the noble prince finally spoke, and instead of looking at his men, he stared at Tianhong. Gui Gongzi knew in his heart that although his subordinates were not powerful, they were all cultivators in the Nayuan period, and they were more than enough to deal with ordinary people. And the person in front of him looks no more than twenty, although his long silver hair is a little weird, but it will not be easy to defeat his subordinates so easily.
"That's a thousand gold, which is compensation for my sister soiling your clothes. Tianhong glanced at the noble prince, then took out a money bag and flicked it with his hand to a servant behind him. Then he looked at your son: "That's it, how about it?"
"Huh. The noble prince let out two inexplicable chuckles.
"A thousand gold dollars!!"
"It's enough for Lao Tzu's family to live happily for a few years!" There were constant whispers in the crowd. (The silver dollar, one of the currencies used in the continent.) In addition, there are copper dollars and gold dollars. And these three kinds of money are all created by the same forces. The exchange ratio is that one gold is equal to ten silver, and one hundred copper is equal. A thousand gold dollars is 10,000 silver dollars, and the income of an ordinary wealthy family is only a few hundred silver a year. A thousand gold is enough to amaze them.
Even the noble son was a little moved. The noble prince knew in his heart that although he was the son of the city lord, his monthly payment was only a few hundred silver dollars a month. And now, a thousand gold is placed in front of him, and this temptation is really not small. It's a pity that I can't just leave it at that. Otherwise, if you really want to do this, what face do you have. Thinking like this in his heart, Gui Gongzi's heart was crossed, and his face immediately flushed with anger: "You dare to insult Ben Gongzi like this, no matter who you are?
Tianhong was a little stunned, but his reaction was not slow. With a wave of his hand, he swept the four people out, including the noble son. Then, like a gust of wind, he disappeared into the crowd with the little girl.
"Ah!!Damn, you dare to play this son!" And at this time, the noble son who crashed into the crowd also got up. He scolded angrily: "Damn, get up for Lao Tzu!" Kicking his servants, the noble son gave the order for them to find someone.
After getting rid of the tracking of several strangers, Tianhong finally stopped and put the little girl down. Looking down at the little girl.
"Big brother. As if feeling Tianhong's gaze, the little girl raised her head to look at Tianhong and called softly.
"You—" listened to the little girl's call, staring at her smart and innocent gaze. Tianhong was a little hesitant, not knowing how to place her. And, just earlier, he had noticed a pendant around the little girl's neck. That is by no means something that ordinary people can have, so it can be guessed that her origin is definitely not ordinary.
"Big brother, you are a good person, can you..."The little girl hesitated a little, but still said, "Can you protect Ziyun?"
Tianhong was a little stunned, but with his mental insight, he understood after a little thought. A little girl of five or six years old, wandering alone and surviving, her wisdom is not ordinary. After a moment of silence, Tianhong nodded in the little girl's expectant gaze and said, "Your name is 'Ziyun', right, from today on, I, 'Tianhong', will always protect you." ”
"Really?Brother Tianhong??" After receiving Tianhong's response, the little girl asked excitedly and in disbelief.
"Really, from now on, Ziyun... You're my sister. At this time, Ziyun was like a legendary elf who had just stepped into a strange world, with anticipation and fear. To Tianhong's pity, he said in a gentle tone that he hadn't used for a long time, involuntarily.
"Brother Tianhong!!" With a cheer, Ziyun threw himself into Tianhong's arms.
"Yes. Looking at Ziyun in his arms, Tianhong, who had not smiled for a long time, had a smile on his face.
Jiangyue City, the inn of the return of the month. It is said that the backstage of this "Moon Return Inn" is very large, and even the city lord has to give three points. Therefore, the status of the people who can live in this inn is generally not bad, there are rich people in the world, who spend money like dirt and are guarded by powerful cultivators of the general or even king level, there is a hegemon who controls a city and leads hundreds of thousands of people, and there are elders of large factions, who can deter the leaders of a city and a faction by themselves. And at this moment, Tianhong and Ziyun are in this inn.
"Brother Tianhong, is Ziyun beautiful now?" In the guest room, Ziyun's big smart eyes looked at Tianhong nervously, expecting his answer. By this time, the little girl had changed into a new dress. It was a short sky blue dress, with a moderate length and a light white moire decoration painted on the skirt. And Ziyun, who was originally innocent and lovely, wore it, which highlighted his own smart temperament.
"Hehe, beautiful, my Ziyun is the most beautiful, and it will definitely become more beautiful than a fairy in the future!" Looking at Ziyun's cute appearance, Tianhong smiled with relief.
"Is it, Brother Tianhong didn't lie to me?" Listening to Tianhong's answer, the little guy hurriedly turned around a few times, as if to determine whether what Tianhong said was true. Seeing Ziyun's interesting appearance, Tianhong shook his head with a smile, and said, "Ziyun, my brother has something to go out later." You just stay in your room and don't go out, you know?"
"Well, Ziyun must not go out!" Hearing Tianhong speak, the little guy immediately replied.
Soon after, Tianhong called Ziyun some meals that she liked to eat, and went out to run errands.
Seeing Tianhong leaving, Ziyun also stopped eating. At this time, many thoughts flashed in the little girl's heart: Brother Tianhong went out, would he... Didn't it happen before? No, no... He won't. Brother Tianhong, he just went out to do some errands, and he will be back soon!, and Tianhong doesn't know this. Out of the inn, Tianhong kept walking in one direction, and soon he arrived at his destination.
"Jiangcheng Auction Pavilion, this is it. Looking at the few big words on the plaque in front of him, the golden light was very stimulating to people's eyes, and Tianhong whispered.
Jiangcheng Auction Pavilion is the largest auction pavilion in the entire Jiangyue City, and it is also the location of the large-scale auction three days later. And one thing he has been looking for a long time is likely to appear at this auction. At this time, there were already many people here in front of the Jiangcheng Auction Pavilion, some of them came to consign their treasures, and some came to inquire about the news. Although there were many people blocking in front of the auction pavilion, Tianhong still easily entered the pavilion.
When you come to the hall, it doesn't seem crowded, and everyone walks in an orderly manner. Tianhong, on the other hand, came to the treasure room under the guidance of the maid. Here, you can not only appreciate treasures, but also sell treasures. It can be said that it is an important place for auction pavilions.
"Please, sir!" The guide maid stood outside the door and bowed to Tianhong.
Tianhong was indifferent and entered it. Therefore, Tianhong had already revealed some information about the things he was going to auction, so the person who received him was also a first-class treasure connoisseur in the auction pavilion.
"This sword is made of volcanic pure gold ore, and its name is: Heavenly Fire, mortal quality. Seeing the treasure connoisseur, Tianhong first took out a sword, and then took out a bottle of elixir: "Ziji Pill, five grades, I practiced it myself, which can increase the chance of breaking a cultivator to the king level by three percent." After a brief introduction, Tianhong handed the thing to the treasure connoisseur in front of him.
This is an old man in gray who looks like he is sixty or seventy years old, and he didn't say anything after listening to Tianhong's own introduction. Instead, he cautiously began to investigate. After a long time, he looked up at Tianhong: "Sword, 600,000." Elixir, one million. ”
After the old man finished speaking, he saw that Tianhong was silent, and said: "Sword, 700,000, elixir, 1.2 million." A second-class lounge will also be arranged for you. After speaking, the old man looked at Tianhong with some nervousness. "Yes. In the end, Tianhong nodded, and the deal was done. After that, Tianhong also took the opportunity to find out some news from the old man. And these are the merits of the Purple Pole Pill, because before that, Tianhong got the news that there were people in the Jiangcheng Auction Pavilion who were in urgent need of pills that could help cultivators break through from the general level to the king level, so they would take out the Purple Extreme Pill. In this way, the purpose of Tianhong's coming out this time has been achieved. After achieving the goal, Tianhong no longer stayed and walked out of the auction pavilion.
"Huh?" As soon as he stepped out, Tianhong saw two people approaching him.
These are two women. They wore dark green dresses, and one of them was stunning. The delicate face, the watery eyes, and the elegant fairy-like temperament all make people fall in love and admiration. It's a pity that Tianhong didn't pay attention to these, what he noticed was the purple flowing cloud pattern case on the left sleeve of the stunning woman. That was the mark of the core disciples of the 'Zixia Sect'. How could the core disciples of the Zixia Sect come here? I felt strange in my heart, but it was just strange that Tianhong passed by the two of them.
Walking out of the auction pavilion, Tianhong could still hear many words talking about the two women just now. Most of them are amazed by their beauty, and some are speculating about the cultivation realm of the two. Between cultivators, there are many ways to know each other's realm besides directly doing it. For example, with the use of divine sense, the cultivation is initially to condense a wisp of divine consciousness before it can be used to condense the vitality, and then there is the sense of aura, which is different for different levels of cultivators, and in addition to these, it is also possible to use mysterious instruments to probe without the person being probed knowing it. Tianhong, on the other hand, was discovered with his own divine sense. Both of them are cultivators of the general-level realm, and the stunning woman has reached the ninth rank, that is, the level of the peak of the general-level. At her age, she is also a first-class genius on the mainland. After all, the vast majority of cultivators were already over twenty years old when they reached this level.
Beautiful women are loved by many people, but Tianhong has long passed that time. Leaving the auction pavilion, before he had gone far, Tianhong was stopped by several people.
"Childe, my lord is invited, please come with us. A middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper said to Tianhong very politely.
"Where?" Tianhong asked with a frown. Ziyun is still in the inn, and he has been out for a while, so he must rush back.
"My lord is the lord of this city. The butler replied politely, but there was still a hint of pride in his words.
This time, Tianhong was silent for a moment before nodding. He also wanted to know what the city lord was looking for him, although he vaguely guessed some but still needed to verify, so he followed a few people to the city lord's mansion.
The Castle Lord's Mansion is located in the heart of the inner city. At this time, in the back garden of the City Lord's Mansion, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes was standing in the small pavilion. Jiang Long was in a very nervous mood at this time, with anticipation: I don't know if what my son said is true, if so, then... The good days of my Jiang family are coming! As long as the news is confirmed, then it will be easy to do. After all, with that person's position, he would never break his word.
"Childe, please! The master is in the garden. The butler bowed down and motioned for Tianhong to enter.
Without the slightest hesitation, Tianhong stepped into the garden. Before he came, he had already thought about it. The city lord's cultivation is at most the peak of the general level, and he has now recovered to the realm of the fifth rank of the general level, plus his divine consciousness is still at the emperor level experience and consciousness, not to mention the combat skills. All of this added up to make him completely confident that he was not afraid of anyone below the emperor-level realm. If it is restored to the king-level level, then even in the face of the emperor-level powerhouse Tianhong will dare to fight. After all, he still has all kinds of perceptions and understandings of the power of heaven and earth, and when he enters the king-level realm, he can use the power of space. And the strength of emperor-level cultivators depends to a large extent on the power of space, and if it is equal in this regard, then the gap between the king-level and the emperor-level is not insurmountable.
"I don't know the city lord, what's the matter with finding the city lord?" As soon as he saw the city lord, Tianhong said bluntly.
"Haha, little brother is really direct!" The man in brocade is Jiang Long, seeing Tianhong's eyes flashing with a cold light, but he still laughed and said: "Little brother, I just learned that the dog had something unpleasant with you not long ago, so please come and reconcile with the dog." After Jiang Long finished speaking, seeing that Tianhong did not react in the slightest, he said again: "Don't worry, there is an old man here, and the dog will not dare to have the slightest complaint." In the end, Jiang Long casually asked, "By the way, little brother, what about your sister, why didn't you see her by your side?"
"The city lord cares about the little sister very much!" Seeing this, Tianhong also responded. After speaking, seeing that Jiang Long's face did not change in the slightest, he said again: "Do you care about the identity of the little sister?"
"You... What do you know?!" At this time, Jiang Long's face finally showed surprise, and he couldn't help but ask loudly. And as the words fell, Jiang Long's vitality also fluctuated, revealing the aura of the seventh grade.
"Is this the city lord trying to suppress people?" Seeing this, Tianhong fearlessly resisted it.
As the two confronted each other, the momentum of the two general-level powerhouses also alarmed the others in the City Lord's Mansion. Then I saw more than a dozen people coming from all over the place, the weakest of them was also in the realm of scholars, and the strongest one had reached the realm of generals.
"Now, isn't the city lord going to talk to me about my sister's identity?" Seeing this situation, Tianhong still said to Jiang Long without hurry.
"Hmph, when you enter the prison, the city lord will have a good discussion with you!" Jiang Long saw Tianhong's appearance like this, and replied coldly.
"I'm afraid the city lord doesn't have this opportunity!" As the confrontation escalated, the two had already left the ground and came into the air, and Tianhong saw that more and more people were rushing here, and he did not hesitate to make a brazen move. Although he was in mid-air, he was like walking on the ground for a general-level powerhouse. Seeing Tianhong dodge, he came to Jiang Long's side and threw a punch, and the powerful force caused the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to fluctuate violently, causing an explosion-like sound.
"You..." Jiang Long was furious, but he still punched back.
Two powerful forces collided with each other, making a loud noise. Then, the two fought in mid-air. The power of the general-level powerhouses made many of the City Lord's Mansion powerhouses who rushed here dare not approach, and they could only wait and see underground. And one of them was the second strongest man in the City Lord's Mansion, and he roared angrily and soared into the air and rushed towards the place where the battle was fighting.
"En?" Tian Hong, who was fighting against Jiang Long, suddenly turned around, and then threw a punch, right in the heart of the second strongest man in the City Lord's Mansion. Hearing a muffled sound, the strong man vomited blood and flew out. Jiang Long was shocked when he saw this, and wanted to stop Tianhong from continuing to attack, entangled Tianhong, and at the same time shouted at the bottom: "Jiang Li, don't retreat!!"
"Big brother, you... Yes!" At this time, the strong man who smashed to the ground also stood up again, and he replied helplessly.
In mid-air, the battle between the two has reached a white-hot stage, and the winner will be decided at any time.
"City Lord Jiang, if you tell my sister's identity, I can also consider sparing your life. ”
"Don't think about it, this city lord will never say it!!"
The situation on the battlefield has shown a one-sided trend, and Tianhong has been suppressing Jiang Long. And Jiang Long, who has always been at a disadvantage, saw this, and finally couldn't hold it back. He let out a loud shout, getting rid of Tianhong's entanglement. Then the whole body shook violently, and finally all the strength converged on the right fist.
"Bayun Fist!!" Jiang Long shouted angrily and punched out. The fist roared like a dragon roaring and a tiger roaring, shaking all directions.
Seeing that huge fist coming towards him, stirring the vitality between heaven and earth, Tianhong was unmoved. He calmly made a move, causing more than a hundred thin sword shadows to appear in the sky in an instant. These sword shadows condensed by the vitality all came behind Tianhong, and then rushed towards Jiang Long's fist shadows like a river.
Rumble!! The giant fist and the sword stream collided, and a huge explosion sounded. The power generated swept all around, and the garden of the City Lord's Mansion was also affected, countless beautiful flowers were torn apart, and even the stone pavilion was destroyed. And the other powerhouses belonging to the City Lord's Mansion saw that the situation was not good, and they had already avoided it.
After the explosion, the garden was in shambles, and smoke and dust raged. And at this time, the people from the City Lord's Mansion who had dodged the explosion leaned over again.
Suddenly, a figure rushed out of the smoke and dust! He grabbed the neck of Jiang Li, the second strongest person in the City Lord's Mansion, and at the same time, his other hand kept swinging his fist around, killing all the people from the City Lord's Mansion who came over, leaving only Jiang Li who was pinched in his hand.
"You, you... Where's my eldest brother?!" Jiang Li said with difficulty as his neck flushed.
"It's dead, it's useless if it's not dead. Tianhong was expressionless and stared at Jiang Li: "Your city lord's son, where is Jiang Hu?" ”
"You, Hugh... I want to!" Jiang Li glared at Tianhong angrily and said with difficulty.
However, just then, a group of people appeared.
"Father, I'm here, you have to teach me a good lesson..."The noble son, Jiang Hu, led a group of people to shout while walking, and entered the garden, and then he stood on the spot as if he was stuck in his throat, and the crowd behind him was even more frightened.
"Hehe, it's just in time. Tianhong chuckled, ended Jiang Li's life, and then looked at Jiang Hu.
"Ahh You..."Jiang Hu finally came to his senses, he pointed at Tianhong in horror, his fingers trembling.
"Someone is coming!!" Tianhong whispered, and then shot without the slightest hesitation. And the results after that go are naturally needless to say.
Just a moment after Tianhong left, six or seven figures flew from the four directions of Jiangyue City, southeast, northwest, and north. They entered the Lord's Mansion.
