Chapter Ninety-Two: The Man in Black
Three carriages with black and gold dragon flags stopped in the open space at the east gate of Tiancheng County, and the young men in the carriages stepped down from the carriages one after another.
A group of young people gathered together in groups of three or five, each with excitement on their faces.
Originally, there were only ten rings and a makeshift platform in this large open space, but today, a wooden platform has been erected on the north side of the ring.
After getting out of the carriage, Long Zun noticed the conspicuous wooden high platform on the north side of the carriage, more precisely, all the young people who got off the carriage couldn't help but be attracted by the high platform.
The platform was more than two meters high, and there were seven seats, each of which sat an elderly man with either gray hair or silver beard, and only the one sitting in the middle seat was slightly younger.
The three old men on the right seat were majestic and tall, and when they sat there, they were intimidating and did not dare to look at them directly.
Long Zun looked from left to right again, and the one sitting outside was an old lady with silver flowers, holding a dragon's head cane in her hand, her face was cold, and she didn't smile.
Next to the silver-haired old lady sat two old men, a dry and thin old man in linen clothes, and a fatter old man in a fine costume.
The two men sat down there as if a tenant farmer and a landlord were sitting at the same table.
Long Zun raised his gaze, noticed the appearance of the two old men, and was immediately stunned, and said involuntarily: "Why are they!"
"What...... They?" Long Yun walked over and asked, then added, "Do you see that person on the high platform is the Qingxing we met yesterday?"
Long Zun came back to his senses and said, "You mean that Qingxing is also on the high platform?"
His eyes began to search the crowd on the high platform, and after a while, he saw the smiling face of Qingxing appear on the high platform, and Qingxing was standing behind an old man sitting in his seat.
"Who do you say he is? He can actually appear on the high platform, and the people on it are either the royal family of the Tianlong Kingdom or the clan family. Long Yun leaned into Long Zun's ear and whispered.
Long Zun glanced at Qingxing on the high platform again, and said, "Didn't he say that he was from Dali Prefecture? It should be a certain sect in Dali Prefecture!"
"The sect of Dali Prefecture!" Long Yun rubbed his chin a few times with his hand, and suddenly said, "It can't be Haizhou Gate! That is a big sect, even stronger than the Yuntian Sect of our Tianlong Kingdom, and its subordinates rule thousands of miles of islands. β
Long Yun leaned forward again, looking at the direction of Qingxing, his eyes revealed his yearning for Haizhou Gate.
"It would be nice if the two of us could be looked at by Haizhou Gate and be included in the door. β
Long Zun suddenly lowered his head and said to Long Yun, "Help me take a look, who are those two old men on the left?"
"Which one?" Long Yun looked up, "Are you asking about the two old men sitting next to the old lady of the Zhao family?"
Without waiting for Long Zun to answer, he continued: "Those two people are very famous figures in our Tiancheng County, the old man who is thin is the old lady of the Li family, and the other old man with a goatee is the old lady of the Chen family, the two of them plus the old lady of the Zhao family next to them, these three people are the only great martial arts realm cultivators in Tiancheng County. β
"No wonder they saw Sun Dewang's cultivation at a glance. Long Zun said silently in his heart.
In my mind, I remembered that Sun Dewang had set up the ring at the beginning, and it was these two old men who saw through Sun Dewang's cultivation at a glance, and at the same time said the conclusion that Long Yun was defeated.
"What's wrong? I feel like you're getting a little weird!" Long Yun tilted his head and looked Long Zun up and down.
"What's wrong with me!" Long Zun shook his head, and at the same time raised his finger to point at Long Li and Long Xu, who had already walked away, and said, "If you don't leave, you won't be able to catch up." β
Long Yun turned around and saw that the young man of the Long family had already walked a distance under the leadership of Long Li, leaving only him and Long Zun still next to the carriage, so he didn't care about continuing to ask, and hurriedly chased after Long Zun.
Not to mention the crowds of people at the martial arts venue, there was also a crowd of young people from various families, led by the elders of the family, a group of left and a group of people on the right.
Most of the rest are some scattered and down-and-out children of the family, standing together in twos and threes, looking around, there is a lot of pressure.
"Don't run around, follow me. Long Li turned back and said behind him.
He led people to a pergola made of bamboo, which contained more than a dozen bamboo chairs, and the pergola was facing the ring with a wide view.
There are quite a few pergolas like this, some of them are people, some are not, but some of the people who stay in the pergola are the children of some families.
The loose cultivators and the down-and-out families all stayed in the open space on the other side of the ring, where there were no seats or pergolas, and they either sat on the ground or stood.
Walking into the pergola, the light above your head is blocked outside, and there is a little cooler on your body when you sit inside.
More and more people from various families and families came, and finally the pergola was full of people.
Of course, the largest number of people is in the open space opposite the pergola, and the ground is full of black and sitting.
On the left side of the pergola of the Long family is a small family surnamed Wang in Tiancheng County, and on the right is the Lu family in Lanshan Town.
Long Zun, a member of the Wang family, didn't know any of them, so he just glanced at them, and then looked at the Lu family on the right.
Under the pergola of the Lu family, Li Houzhong's fiancΓ©e Lu Ya, and the Lu Ying he had seen at Mrs. Li's birthday banquet, were all sitting in the pergola.
Lu Ya saw Long Zun's gaze, pinched the orchid finger with his right hand, and nodded with a smile on his face.
Long Zun responded with a smile and nodded as well.
There were more and more people, and at this time, ten people in black suddenly appeared, and the originally lively pergola suddenly quieted down.
These black-clothed people looked serious and came to the ring without saying a word, each of them appeared in front of a ring, and the ten black-clothed people were all standing in the ring.
"People with numbers from one to ten on the wooden sign come here. The man in black standing in front of the ring in the middle suddenly said.
The sound is not loud, but it is clear to the ears, and it is clearly transmitted to everyone's ears, just like someone is talking in the ear, and every word can be heard by the ear.
Ten young men stood out of the clearing and walked up to the man in black.
The man in black glanced at the ten young men in front of him and said, "Take out your wooden cards." β
All ten young men took out their wooden cards and held them in their hands.
The man in black looked at them in turn, and said, "Okay, go to the ring." β
As he spoke, he stepped aside, and ten young men stepped into the ring behind him, one by one.
When all ten of them were in the ring, another man in black shouted the wooden cards of the eleven to twenty numbers......
In the ten rings, a hundred young men and women soon stood up.
The ring is big enough, and there is no problem for a hundred people to stand on each one, and ten people to stand on it, and there are not many people at all.
Among the hundred people in the ring, Long Chi was the only one in the Long family who went to the ring, and Long Zun, Long Yun and Long Jun had to wait for the next time the man in black shouted.
