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." ”

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. ”

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 couldn't figure out why the thirteen county lords would 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." ”

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." ”

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

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, obviously he had come to Qianshui County to ask for help, why did he come to participate in this inexplicable sword conference

What's even more strange is how there are so many geniuses gathered here from all over the world

Not everyone is here for help

"Under Chen Tianshu, I don't know the name of Gongzi's honorable surname" 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." ”

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."

"Hmm" 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, a protégé of Zuo Xiang, and Qing Chibai, a half-saint disciple. ”

"Wait what you just said, at the first place in the Sword Conference, you can capture the hearts of the thirteen county lords," Zhang Ruochen said.

Chen Tianshu said in surprise: "Don't you know that the Sword Conference is to help the thirteen county lords choose horses. ”

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 celestial pride, 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." ”

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 protégé, 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." ”

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. ”

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." ”

"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 Xuanji Realm, and he is definitely a genius with infinite potential. ”

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 silent, 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. ”

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. ”

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." ”

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. ”

Hearing this, the smiles on the faces of the other nine powerful ministers completely disappeared. Ning Shangshu said again: "What's even more amazing is his talent in spiritual power. According to what the King of Yunwu County said, Zhang Ruochen's spiritual power had reached the twenty-ninth rank. ”

"At the age of sixteen, his spiritual power has reached the twenty-ninth level"

All the people present are top powerhouses, and they can be called the most powerful people in the Qianshui County Country. However, even when they heard the news, their hearts could not be calm, and they felt quite surprised.

When Ning Shangshu first heard the news, he was just as surprised as they were.

King Qianshui nodded, made a high evaluation, and said, "This son is a genius, if he can be vigorously cultivated, he may be able to become a half-saint in the future." ”

"It's up to him to perform at this sword conference," Ning Shangshu said with a smile.

Jin Fengwan.

The two Tianjiao of the Great Perfection of the Xuanji Realm boarded the battle platform at the same time and began to compete with swords.

They were all sword moves, and they didn't use True Qi.

In other words, the Sword Conference is actually more skillful than anyone's swordsmanship, and it has nothing to do with the strength of cultivation.

The two Tianjiao of the Great Perfection of the Xuanji Realm are very strong, with the strength of the Xuanbang martial artist level, and they are always able to display dazzling swordsmanship.

The thirteen county lords sat above, looking at the two Tianjiao who were competing with swords, and felt very bored.

In her opinion, the first place in today's sword conference must be one of Xun Guihai, Liu Xin, Tuoba Linsu, and Qing Chibai.

One of the four of them must be her colt, and the other geniuses are all mediocre in front of the four of them.

Watching them compete with swords is not interesting at all.

At this moment, the thirteen county lords suddenly saw Zhang Ruochen standing at the back of the crowd, his eyes lit up slightly, revealing a little cold, and he secretly said in his heart, "It's really good that this madman really dares to come to the Sword Discussion Conference, now is the time to clean him up." ”

At this moment, the two Tianjiao on the battle platform have already divided the winner and loser.

A genius named "Zhu Yi" won the victory and defeated another genius named "Luo Kong".

Seeing Zhu Yi standing on the battle platform, the thirteen county lords stood up and said with a smile with bright eyes: "Zhu Gongzi is worthy of being the most talented prince of Jinmeng County, and his swordsmanship is outstanding, which makes this county lord very admired." ”

Hearing the praise of the thirteen county lords, Zhu Yi was flattered and hurriedly bowed down to the thirteen county lords.

The thirteen county lords glanced at Zhang Ruochen in the distance, and suddenly said: "It's a pity that although Zhu Gongzi's swordsmanship is very high, it is not as high as the ninth prince of Yunwu County. The lord of this county heard that although the nine princes of Yunwu County were only the extreme cultivators in the Xuanji Realm, their swordsmanship was even more sophisticated than that of the martial artists of the Earth Extreme Realm. Moreover, the ninth prince once said to the lord of this county that if he is a genius today, he is the second in swordsmanship, and no one dares to call him the first. ”

"Boom"

Hearing the words of the thirteen county lords, the entire Jin Fengwan exploded.

You must know that none of the young martial artists who can enter Jin Fengwan are weak, and all of them are top Tianjiao.

That ninth prince of Yunwu County dared to claim that he was the best in the world in swordsmanship

So arrogant

All the young geniuses present were enraged, and wanted to defeat the Nine Princes and humiliate him fiercely.

"A prince of an inferior county dares to be so arrogant"

"Even if he is a half-saint disciple, he doesn't dare to say that he is the best in the world in swordsmanship, that kid actually dares to say such cruel words, if you let me know who he is, I have to let him see what a real swordsmanship master is. ”

"It is estimated that it is the frog at the bottom of the well who has been staying in the inferior county, and the younger generation of the lower county is the first in swordsmanship, and has come to the Qianshui county, and it is difficult to rank in the top 1,000 of the younger generation. ”

Chen Tianshu, who was standing beside Zhang Ruochen, said with a smile: "If what the thirteen county lords said is the truth, then that ninth prince of Yunwu County is really a wonder, and today, he can be regarded as causing the anger of the public." Brother Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Ruochen didn't seem to hear Chen Tianshu's words at all, and he finally understood the reason why the thirteen county lords sent him a post on swords.

She's really vicious

There are two ways to kill, one is stick killing, and the other is smashing and killing. Obviously, the Thirteen County Lords used the second type.

On the surface, it is exaggerating Ruochen, but in fact, it pushes Zhang Ruochen to the opposite side of everyone.

It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and Zhang Ruochen is ready to leave.

The thirteen county lords naturally refused to let him go, and when he saw that Zhang Ruochen wanted to leave, he immediately raised his voice: "Ninth Prince, where are you going, don't you want to make a splash at the Sword Conference and shock the audience, why are you in a hurry to leave now?"

Everyone all followed the gaze of the thirteen county lords and stared at Zhang Ruochen, who was about to leave.

Originally, Zhang Ruochen was standing at the back, but now he is the only one leaving, and when everyone turns around to look, it naturally looks quite eye-catching.

Someone had already rushed up and stopped Zhang Ruochen, who was leaving.

Zhang Ruochen really didn't want to provoke the thirteen county lords, turned around, and said calmly: "His Royal Highness the thirteen county lords, are you sure that what you just said is the truth"

The thirteenth county lord snorted coldly and said, "Could it be that this county lord will still wronged you at that time, and the tenth brother was also present at that time, and he could hear it clearly." ”

The injuries on the tenth prince's body had healed, and he stood up and said, "That's right, at that time, he did show off his swordsmanship in front of the thirteen princes, claiming to be the best in the world in swordsmanship, and other geniuses were all vulnerable in front of him. Why is it that His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, you don't recognize it now"

Zhang Ruochen no longer argues, because even if he argues now, it is useless.

Jin Fengwan's geniuses all stared at Zhang Ruochen with sneers. The county lords and noble women sitting in the attic also let out a snort and mock.

Only Chen Tianshu, who had greeted Zhang Ruochen before, saw some clues, and thought that Zhang Ruochen had offended the thirteen county lords and the ten princes, so he was calculated by the thirteen county lords and the ten princes, and wanted to humiliate him by the hand of the genius Junjie who was present.

Zhu Yi stood on the battle platform and said with a sarcastic smile: "His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, I have heard for a long time that your swordsmanship is the best in the world, I don't know if I can ask for a few tricks in the next place."

The crowd burst into laughter again.

The thirteen county lords puffed up their chests and stared at Zhang Ruochen proudly, as if to say, "This is the end of offending the county lord, this county lord not only wants to teach you a lesson, but also wants you to be ruined." ”

Zhu Yi said again: "His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, isn't it because he looks down on him, and he can't even teach a few tricks?"

"It's okay that since Brother Zhu wants to learn the swordsmanship below, then let's have a few tricks with Brother Zhu below" Zhang Ruochen's eyes were a little cold, and he walked towards the battle platform.

Originally, Zhang Ruochen didn't want to cause trouble, and he didn't want to participate in any sword conference, but everyone insisted on persecuting him.

Zhang Ruochen is not a person who is afraid of things, since this is the case, then what if he comes to fight the world's talents

Walking to the bottom of the battle martial platform, Zhang Ruochen's toes stomped, and his body was like a gust of wind, flying into the formation and gently falling on the battle martial platform.

In fact, Zhu Yi didn't expect Zhang Ruochen to really dare to compete with him, and when he saw Zhang Ruochen on the battle platform, Zhu Yi explained to him the rules of sword competition, and said: "On the sword conference, the comparison is only the way of the sword, not the cultivation." Do you understand what I mean?"

Obviously, Zhu Yi regarded Zhang Ruochen as a stunned young man, lest he didn't know the rules of the competition of the Sword Conference.

Zhang Ruochen just took out the Soul Flashing Sword from his sleeve, pulled the battle sword out of its scabbard, and a cold light was revealed in the blade, and the edge was dazzling.

Holding the sword firmly in his hand, Zhang Ruochen said: "Is it better than that?"

Zhu Yi's eyes were cold, and he no longer talked nonsense with Zhang Ruochen, and with a snort, he pulled out a five-foot-long blue iron battle sword.

He rushed forward quickly, taking six steps in a row, each step according to a certain mysterious law, which was so magical that it was difficult to figure out the direction of his sword.

Judging from the pace alone, Zhu Yi has reached a very high level, comparable to an ordinary Xuanbang martial artist.

Zhang Ruochen stood in place, not moving.

"Huh"

Zhu Yi's pace moved to the left, and a sword stabbed out, although he did not use his true qi, three sword flowers still appeared on the blade, showing very clever sword skills.

In an instant, the cyan sword blade stabbed within a foot of Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen also immediately took out his sword, and the last came first.

Just when Zhu Yi's sword was about to stab Zhang Ruochen's heart, Zhang Ruochen's sword was against Zhu Yi's neck first.

Zhu Yi felt a chill coming out of his throat, his throat seemed to be sealed by cold ice, and the whole person seemed to be petrified, and he didn't dare to move.

His sword was still three inches away from Zhang Ruochen, and Zhang Ruochen's sword had pierced the skin outside his throat, leaving a red spot of blood.

As long as he dared to move again, Zhang Ruochen's sword could pierce his throat.

Zhu Yi's legs trembled a little, and he broke out in a cold sweat all over his body, and said: "On the Sword Conference, it is forbidden to kill and kill."

"Huh"

Zhang Ruochen stared at Zhu Yi, took back his sword, and said, "You are defeated"

Seeing Zhang Ruochen withdraw his sword, Zhu Yicai let out a long breath, and the whole person seemed to collapse.

The geniuses present were all amazed and inexplicable.

Previously, the genius who lost to Zhu Yi was shocked: "Just one sword, defeat Zhu Yi, his swordsmanship is too powerful"

Only those who have really fought with Zhu Yi will know how powerful Zhu Yi is. But even though Zhu Yi was very strong, he was still easily defeated by Zhang Ruochen.

The thirteen county lords also showed a look of surprise, grinded his teeth fiercely, and said, "This bastard still has some real skills."

Tuoba Linsu stared at Zhang Ruochen standing on the battle platform, and said: "Good swordsmanship, simple swordsmanship, high sword intent, can simplify the complex, and does not drag the mud and water at all." I'd like to meet him for a while."

Tuoba Linsu, the first master of the younger generation of Longchuan County, has the martial arts cultivation of the Earth Pole Realm at a young age.

It is precisely because of this that he is qualified to sit next to the thirteen county lords.
