"Go, go into the city", Jiang Kong ordered.

The Imperial City is the capital of the Water and Fire Empire and the largest city in the entire empire, with a length of two hundred kilometers from north to south and a width of one hundred kilometers from east to west, ranking among the top five in the entire Heavenly Spirit Continent.

The Royal Palace is located in the very center of the city.

The purpose of this martial arts competition was to select a few outstanding genius teenagers in order to participate in the Heavenly Sword Sect's five-year disciple recruitment assessment.

At this time.

The palace ascends to the top of the sky.

A middle-aged man stood tall, only to see that he was dressed in a bright yellow robe, embroidered with the pattern of the dragon of the sea, and his black eyes like ink jade flashed with a warm brilliance, with the majesty of a god and the innate nobility of his body, and the whole person emitted a kind of king aura that shocked the world.

This person is the current Emperor of the Water and Fire Empire, Shangguan Zhengxiong, and he is not at peace in his heart at this time.

Early this morning, the marshal of the Wolf Killing Legion sent someone to report that the Northern Black Abyss Empire was about to move, hoarding heavy troops on the border, and it was possible to attack the Water and Fire Empire south at any time.

And now that the empire is weak, and the Black Abyss Empire has the support of the Five Elements Sect of the Eight Great Sects of the Heavenly Spirit, if there is a war, the empire will be in danger.

The only chance is this Heavenly Sword Sect's five-year disciple recruitment.

If the Water and Fire Empire can have a few super geniuses enter the Heavenly Sword Sect this time, then they can get the help of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The Black Abyss Empire will no longer dare to act rashly, and the crisis of the empire can be resolved.

"Alas, it seems that we can only look forward to this martial arts competition!" the emperor sighed softly.

......

Sifang Inn.

Jiang Kong and a few people opened three upper rooms.

There are still three days left before the registration of the martial arts competition, Jiang Kong summoned Jiang Chen and Jiang Yuanba, and asked the two of them to go out to inquire about the forces in the imperial city and what their strength was.

I took Jiang Jingyi to the second floor, sat down by the window, ordered a few side dishes, drank slowly, and talked about love and love with Jingyi's sister.

The inn is crowded with people, it is the best place to inquire about the news, and now the royal martial arts competition is approaching, and there are all kinds of martial arts information interspersed everywhere.

There was a slight sound of conversation at the next table.

Passerby A: "I heard that there are many young masters in this martial arts competition. ”

Passerby B: "Yes, I saw that the young master of Red Maple had arrived early this morning." ”

Passerby C: "Young Master of Red Maple, that is not the young master of Red Maple Villa, the overlord in the south of the empire, I heard that he has reached the realm of the seventh level of martial arts, and he is definitely the candidate for the championship of this martial arts competition."

Passerby A sneered and said, "Hmph, what is the young master of Red Maple, I have exclusive news, the little son of the king of Beiliang County has already arrived in the imperial city, and now he is living in the Qinghuang Pavilion in the palace." ”

"What, the little prince of Beiliang County, isn't it Shangguan Jinglong, one of the four princes of the empire who made a fuss a few years ago?"

Passerby Yi was also full of surprise, and said: "Legend has it that Shangguan Jinglong, the prince of Bingluo, practiced martial arts at the age of ten, a warrior at the age of eleven, a martial artist at the age of twelve, a military general at the age of thirteen, and a martial commander at the age of fourteen. ”

"I'm almost sixteen years old now, and I don't know where I've got. ”

Jiang Kong couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, one level a year, this Ice Spirit Son Shangguan Jinglong is indeed a genius.

Now that two years have passed, he must have reached the level of a martial king, and he is a fierce opponent.

And this Ice Spirit Boy is only one of the four princes, and the other three are definitely not weak, it seems that you should not underestimate the heroes of the world!

These are still on the surface, and there are definitely some hidden geniuses who have not yet appeared.

Jiang Kong also felt a lot of pressure, although he was not weaker than these so-called geniuses, Jiang Yuanba and Jiang Jingyi were a little worse.

But there is no way to do it, after all, the two of them started too late, and they can only do their best, obey the destiny of heaven, and then see if there is any way.

While the river is contemplating and meditating.

A shrill and flirtatious voice came.

"What a beautiful chick, how about two drinks with my brother".

I saw a thin boy of seventeen or eighteen years old holding a folding fan, his right foot on the bench, with a lewd smile on his face, and his two eyes staring at the two girls in front of him who were eating happily.

One of the two girls seemed to be a young lady, sixteen or seventeen years old, tall and peachy, with a light body, black hair like lacquer, skin like jade, beautiful eyes, and an indescribable charm between a smile and a smile.

The other is dressed as a maid, with a melon seed face, long eyelashes, big eyes, fair skin, and a very beautiful appearance, and she is also a rare beauty.

At this time, the woman dressed as a maid saw that someone dared to be so rude to the two of them, and her eyebrows immediately rose.

stood up and slapped the table, pointed at the emaciated young man, and scolded loudly: "Okay, you cheeky pervert, you dare to beat my young lady's idea, you are impatient, aren't you?"

"Yo, it's spicy enough, I like it".

The two of them were loud enough to quickly catch the attention of the entire second-floor diners.

Seeing this, passer-by A quickly stood up, and just wanted to go up to save the beauty of a hero.

The passer-by next to him immediately grabbed him and said lightly: "What are you doing, you can't find death, that is the one of the four great sons who is full of flowers." ”

"Just with your three or two clicks, it's not enough for people to stuff their teeth. ”

Passerby A glanced at Passerby C gratefully, and then sat down awkwardly.

"Hehe, those two chicks are not a small role, it seems that Hua Mantang kicked the iron plate this time," Passerby B on the other side obviously knew the origin of the two girls.

"What, who is it? I can't even mess with the playboys among the four princes. ”

"I don't know the eldest lady of the royal palace, and you have been in the imperial city for a few months. ”

"What, this is Shangguan Nan, a talented girl on the first day of the Wind and Fire Empire?"

It is rumored that Shangguan Nan has reached the level of King Wu a year ago, and this time the playboy is full of flowers.

Sure enough, as soon as Hua Mantang's words fell, a slap hit him in the face in an instant.

Hua Mantang reacted quickly.

Between the lightning and the fire, a backflip retreated at great speed.

Shangguan Nan's legs were slightly raised, his clothes were fluttering, a gust of incense was blowing, and his hands were never three inches away from his flowery face.

The speed of both sides was an eye-opener for many diners on the second floor.

In the end, it was Shangguan Nan's chess master.

"Smack"

A crisp slap resounded throughout the hall on the second floor.

Some ordinary diners hurriedly checked out and left when they saw this, and those who practiced martial arts fought, and the slightest carelessness would cost people's lives, this kind of excitement is not something that ordinary people can see.

Hua Mantang was stunned by a slap, and he picked up countless girls, and he had never suffered such a big loss.

The hot pain on his face made him angry, "Okay, you stinky female cousin, you dare to beat me, see if this son doesn't catch you, let you be cool for three days and three nights." ”

When Shangguan Nan heard this, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, no one dared to insult himself like this when he was so big, this person was really bold, he must teach him a good lesson today.

"Presumptuous," Shangguan Nan snorted, pulled out the long sword in his hand and shook lightly, and the breath of the fifth-level realm of the Martial King in his body was suddenly released, and the sword flowers flew into the big holes around the hall.

Hua Mantang didn't know at this time that he had kicked the iron plate and provoked a tough chick, but this didn't make him restrained.

I saw that his whole body flew up, dodging the attack of the long sword, and then released the breath of the second level of the Martial King, and the vitality in his body was shocked, and the folding fan in his hand suddenly burst into a burst of golden light.

"Woohoo"

Several golden needles burst out from the folding fan of Huamantang and hit Shangguan Nan's chest.

"Miss be careful", the maid on the side was in a hurry.

"Hmph, carving insect skills, watch me smash your stinky mouth. ”

Shangguan Nan's feet were slightly wrong, and the whole person swam away quickly like a butterfly wearing flowers, and came to Hua Mantang in the blink of an eye.

"Smack, smack"

A slap ten times louder than just now spread throughout the second floor.

Hua Mantang was hit by this, and several teeth were lost, and his entire face swelled rapidly, turning into a pig's head in a short time.

"Giggle," came a burst of laughter like silver bells.

The maid on the side took the opportunity to laugh loudly, "What a big pig's head." ”

Hua Mantang lost all his face, quickly turned around, flew down from the window in a gray manner, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Hmph, you're fast. ”

Shangguan Nan's long sword was returned to the sheath, and he looked at the direction of the dazzled escape and muttered.

After speaking, he glanced around the entire second floor, glanced at Jiang Kong, and when he saw Jiang Jingyi, who was no worse than himself, he was slightly surprised, nodded at Jiang Jingyi, and then left with the maid.

"Hehe, this imperial city is not simple, Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger!"

Jiang Kong smiled playfully, got up to pay the bill and left.

Back in the room, Jiang Yuanba and Jiang Chen had also returned.

"Boss, I have inquired clearly, in addition to the royal family, there are four major families in the entire imperial city, and then there are the branches of the three major guilds in the mainland stationed in the Water and Fire Empire. ”

Jiang Chen continued: "The imperial family is the largest force in the entire Water and Fire Empire, and there are currently two Martial Emperor-level super powerhouses in charge, and I heard that the current Saint has also reached the peak of the Martial Sect, and it is possible to advance to the Martial Emperor at any time. ”

"The four major families were founded by several ancestors who made great contributions when the Water and Fire Empire was founded, and after hundreds of years of development, they gradually formed the current scale."

"Each family has several martial sect-level powerhouses, and there are countless under the martial sect. ”

"The other is the three major guilds of the Heavenly Spirit Continent, the Alchemist Guild, the Alchemist Guild, and the Mercenary Guild. ”

"It is said that there are countless martial god-level masters in the headquarters of the three major guilds, and the imperial cities of every country in the continent have their branches, and there are masters sitting in them. ”

Finally, the two glanced at each other and said to Jiang Kong: "That's all for the time being, as for whether there are other hidden masters, I don't know." ”

Jiang Kong carefully analyzed what the two said, and the sense of crisis in his heart gradually increased, and it seemed that he was still a little bit sitting in the well and watching the sky, and looked down on the heroes of the world.

thinks that with his current strength, he can mix well in the imperial city, but he doesn't know that any force is not something he can provoke at present.

However, Jiang Kong was not discouraged, he had the Supreme Immortal System, and he believed that he would soon be able to trample on all these so-called great forces.

Send the three of them down and let them cultivate well.

Just then, the system prompt sounds.

"Ding"

"Congratulations to the host pet for waking up".
