The royal palace, located in the center of the royal city, is extremely vast and vast, just like a city within a city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Within the towering walls, there are magnificent and majestic palaces, as well as various buildings.

Outside the wall, the guards were heavily guarded, and groups of majestic sergeants kept patrolling back and forth, and these sergeants were all martial cultivators of the martial arts realm, wearing black heavy armor, they were the first force guarding the palace, the Praetorian Guard.

In front of the palace, there is a very large school field, and in the center of the school field, there is a huge high platform, called Dianjiangtai.

At this time, around the Dianjiang platform, a number of stands were also erected, on which many tables and chairs were neatly placed.

Not only that, at the palace gate of the palace, a grandstand was also erected that was even higher than the Dianjiang platform, although it was only temporarily built, but it was still extremely luxurious, carved railings and jade bricks, and the golden dragon carpet directly covered the entire stand.

It's just that there is only one chair in this stand, but this is a dragon chair, revealing a kingly momentum.

Everyone present knew that in the entire Tang Kingdom, there was only one person who could sit on this dragon chair, and that was the contemporary monarch Li Longyuan.

In the past, the ancestor of the Li family commanded the army to fight in all directions, and on the eve of the expedition, he would beat the drum on the platform at this point.

Hearing the exciting drum sound in their ears, everyone even had an illusion, as if they had seen the bloody scene when they first clicked.

In the past 100 years, countries have been at peace with each other, and even if there is some friction, no large-scale war has broken out, so this point has become a battle platform for ranking battles.

As time passed, more and more people gathered, and at a glance, there were hundreds of thousands of people, not to mention hundreds of thousands of people.

Of course, most of them are people who came to join in the fun and watch the battle, after all, there are not many people who are qualified and have the strength to participate in the ranked battle, but they are all real elites, and they are the top geniuses of the major forces.

The ten major sects, the eight major families, plus the people in the royal family, as well as those who are slightly weaker, and some people who want to try the loose cultivators, the total is estimated to be a few hundred.

"I, Zhang He, have been practicing hard for five years, and now I have finally set foot in the realm of high-level martial artists, and I will definitely break into the top ten in this ranking battle and be famous all over the world."

A thin-faced young man clenched his fists, his eyes showed a look of expectation, and he roared in his mouth.

"I, Zhao Heng, have been raising swords for three years, understanding swords for three years, and practicing swords for three years, and finally control the Dacheng sword momentum, this time in the ranking battle, I will definitely go one step further and break into the top five on the list."

A young man in white with a long sword on his back flashed with a sharp edge in his eyes.

"Have you heard? It is said that this year's ranking battle will be the grandest in this hundred years, not only the rewards are extremely rich, but also the top ten on the land list can be canonized by the king, and the first place can be directly crowned as a marquis. ”

"It's just a marquis, it's nothing at all, who doesn't know, the first place must belong to the eleventh prince, he is a dignified prince, and he still needs a mere marquis?"

"Not necessarily, I heard that the strength of the Xuanjian Sect's Baili Fei is very terrifying, and he is the most promising candidate to win the first place on the list."

"Naive, in front of the king, who dares to win the eleventh prince, even if Bailifei's strength is stronger than the eleventh prince, I'm afraid he will sell the face of the king and give up the first position."

"It makes sense, in the ranking battle of the last year's list, the third prince was able to win the first place, could this be the reason?"

"Shh......h You guys keep quiet, you don't want to live anymore? ”

The crowd was talking, making the whole school field seem quite noisy.

"Do you know why the rewards for this ranked battle are so great?"

"I don't know, you know?"

"Hey...... My second cousin's aunt's son's cousin's sister's nephew, who was on an errand in the Praetorian Guard, happened to hear a little inside information from him. ”

"Quick, let's talk."

"In this royal city ranking battle, not only will the king personally be present to watch the battle, but also the Chu country, which is adjacent to our Tang Kingdom, will also send an elite team to exchange ideas with us."

"What? The State of Chu actually sent a team? You know, the national strength of Chu is much stronger than our Tang State, and the geniuses of their younger generation are also stronger, I heard that there are eight princes in Chu State, especially their royal family Xiang family, there are three princes collectively called Xiang Sanying, and their strength is extremely terrifying. ”

Hearing the conversation of these people, everyone around them showed shocked looks, no wonder the rewards of this year's ranking battle were richer than in previous years, it turned out to be to inspire those young heroes to defeat the genius and strong people sent by the Chu State and win glory for the Tang State.

In other words, this ranking battle in the royal city is not just a contest between the internal forces of the Tang State and the young geniuses, but a contest between the younger generation of the Tang State and the Chu State.

In a few moments, the news spread ten, ten, hundred, and soon spread throughout the school.

At this time, there were more and more people in the school field, and even tens of thousands of Praetorian Guards had been sent to the palace to maintain order, and the entire school field was fenced off, and no one was allowed to make trouble and disrupt the normal progress of the ranked battle.

On the high stands around, people kept coming up at this time, and the people who could have the grandstand positions here were either princes and nobles, or big forces and big families.

"Look, it's someone from the Zhu family who has arrived."

Many people looked at one of the stands, only to see a line of figures there, sitting in turn, the Zhu family is one of the eight families, and it is also the head of the eight families, so they can naturally have a place in the stands.

And that Zhu Haoming is naturally among them, it can be said that Zhu Haoming is the strongest force of the Zhu family to participate in the ranking battle, and at least he can break into the top three and win incomparable glory for the Zhu family.

"The people of the Yuan family also arrived, and I heard that Yuan Bai of the Yuan family was dead, and Yuan Long was also defeated by someone with a sword, and he lost face."

Immediately after, another line of figures appeared on another stand, it was a member of the Yuan family, one of the eight major families.

"The people of the Fang family and the Liu family are also here."

"I heard that Fang Xingyu of the Fang family and Liu Zijin of the Liu family are all amazing young talents, I am afraid that this ranking battle can at least enter the top ten."

Many of the people who came to watch the battle lived in the royal city, and naturally they had a certain understanding of the people of the eight major families, as well as the top geniuses of the younger generation.

"Someone from the Han family is also here, that person should be Han Yu."

"The Feng family, the Qi family, the Xu family, the Cui family, they have all arrived."

With the appearance of the rows of figures, everyone's expressions became more and more excited, in the royal city, in addition to the royal Li family, the strongest force is these eight families.

"It seems that the teams of the ten major sects have also arrived one after another."

At this time, people dressed in the costumes of the unified sect also arrived at the school, causing quite a stir.

In the Tang Kingdom, the ten major sects represent the ten strongest sect forces, second only to the royal Li family, and of course, there are two special forces, Wanbao Commercial House and Tiansha.
