The snow continued to fall for several days, and it didn't stop.

In a palace pavilion, since changing the bandages yesterday, Xiao Yuchen felt that the stuffiness in his heart was empty, and he could barely get out of bed.

He went to the window, opened it, and let the snowflakes fall on his face, feeling cold.

"The snow in the Northern Wilderness is really big...... Xiao Yuchen muttered, feeling a slight chill in his heart.

At this time, Yun Jianhou, who had not been seen for a long time, actually came.

Chen Yunzui frowned and looked at Xiao Yuchen, "Your injury hasn't healed yet, how can you get out of bed at will?" The window is still open, close it quickly!"

Xiao Yuchen shook his head and smiled, "It's okay, don't I know my own body yet?" Speaking of which, those family members have all returned safely?"

"Rest assured, they're all back. It's just that some of them are no longer there. Chen Yundrunk was slightly regretful, apparently hearing that the families of some military attachés did not return safely.

Xiao Yuchen's eyes also darkened slightly.

Chen Yundrunk changed the topic and said, "You are looking at the snow, but do you know what this heavy snow means to the heavens and the country?"

"Winter?"

There is one meaning, but there is another meaning. ”

Xiao Yuchen glanced at Chen Yundrunk, and then turned his gaze back to the snow, "Please also ask Hou Ye Chen to tell me." ”

"The New Yuan Martial Arts. ”

Chen Yunzui said four words, and Xiao Yuchen was puzzled: "The New Yuan Martial Arts Meeting, isn't it just the New Yuan Festival?"

Chen Yundrunk smiled and explained: "Yes, it is true that the New Yuan Festival has just begun, however, at this time, inside and outside the borders of the country, all forces in the southeast, northwest and northwest have already been dispatched. Within a month, Wanhuang City will continue to pour into batch after batch of forces. Therefore, generally speaking, the winter solstice is the beginning of the New Yuan Martial Arts. ”

Xiao Yuchen nodded, and couldn't help but be curious, "What is the benefit of this New Yuan Martial Arts, how can it attract so many people?"

"There are many rewards for the New Yuan Martial Arts Association that are still unclear, but there is one point, but it is there every time, without exception. That is the Spiritual Divine Spring, which is monopolized by the imperial power!"

"What's that?"

"Ordinary people can increase their lifespan by fifty years if they drink it!" but ......," Chen Yun paused drunkly, "If a martial artist refines that spring water, just one drop can improve one's cultivation for one year! And when the time comes, the reward for the winner of the conference will be a jade bottle, that is, one hundred drops!"

One drop a year, a hundred drops a hundred years.

Xiao Yuchen felt inexplicably shocked, no wonder all the martial artists from all over the world gathered here, this Spirit Imperial Divine Spring was indeed extraordinary.

"How's it going, isn't it a little exciting?"

Seeing that Chen Yundrunk looked like he was seductive, Xiao Yuchen smiled helplessly and did not speak.

"That's it, let's not mention this for now, let me tell you about the ten heroes of the heavens. ”

"Heaven by day...... Ten masters?"

"That's right! Chen Yun was intoxicated with emotion, "It is held every 20 years, and it is selected at the New Yuan Martial Arts Conference, and it is the ten most outstanding young people under the age of 30!"

"Do you mean...... This year is exactly twenty years since the last time?" Xiao Yuchen guessed, seeing Chen Yundrunk nodding lightly, he couldn't help but sigh that it was a coincidence.

In the courtyard, Zi Liangyun came over on time.

"I've seen Marquis Chen!"

Zi Liangyun bowed, and Chen Yun couldn't help but wonder: "You are ......"

"It was His Royal Highness who ordered me to take care of Xiao Yuchen. Zi Liangyun explained, her eyes fluttering casually.

Chen Yundrunk didn't ask much, he looked at Xiao Yuchen and said, "The original kindness, Ben Hou hasn't thanked you well, if you think when you can move your fists and feet, it is better to come to my Hou Mansion for a gathering, and I will repay myself." ”

With that, he turned and walked away.

Xiao Yuchen stared at Chen Yun's drunken back, pondering the meaning of his last sentence, a little puzzled, "Why do you have to emphasize being able to move your fists and feet?"

This cloud sword waiting, is it possible that you want to compete with yourself?

"Don't think about it, drink the medicine. Zi Liangyun handed the medicine to Xiao Yuchen and said lightly.

Xiao Yuchen took the bowl, blew it casually, drank it in three sips, and then wiped his mouth. Putting the bowl on the table, he sat down and joked to Zi Liangyun, "Anyway...... You don't want to kill me?"

Sonor!

The long sword came out of its sheath and fell straight in front of his eyes, and a cold edge flashed on the tip of the sword.

The corners of Xiao Yuchen's mouth twitched, and he said speechlessly: "I'm just joking, why are you doing so much?"

Zi Liangyun snorted coldly, "The ghost wants to kill you, isn't this sword familiar?"

Xiao Yuchen realized that this sword was not the jade sword he brought before, it was originally a congratulatory gift from the thirteenth princess to the emperor, and was later given to him by Lei Yan.

Zi Liangyun inserted the sword back into the sheath and handed it to Xiao Yuchen, "Here you go." ”

Xiao Yuchen reached out and took the sword and pouted, "This was originally mine." ”

Zi Liangyun said angrily: "It was Sister Lei who helped you intercede, and the princess didn't care about the villain's life, and gave you this jade sword, which can be regarded as a grudge between the two sides." ”

"That's really a thank you to her, the adults don't care about the villains!"

Xiao Yuchen said casually, then walked to the side of the bed, sat down cross-legged on the bed, suddenly remembered Zi Liangyun, and said, "Remember to close the door when you go out." ”

Zi Liangyun glared, this is the order to evict the guest? Seeing that the empty bowl of medicinal soup has not yet dissipated the heat, she is about to let her go out, how can this be true! She worked hard to get up every morning, served her medicine and fed her medicine, this bastard didn't thank her, and gave her an eviction order?

Zi Liangyun was about to say something, but when she saw that Xiao Yuchen had already settled down, she suddenly felt crazy, took a spit, and slammed the door. Hearing the bang, Xiao Yuchen opened his eyes slightly, raised his eyebrows, continued to close his eyes, and began to operate the Tianyan Demon Sutra.

I haven't cultivated well for so many days, at this time, Xiao Yuchen silently recited the formula, the aura of heaven and earth was centered on him, and it was gradually absorbed and refined by him, and the sea of qi was also growing step by step.

When he was fighting with Tu Qixing, he felt that his cultivation was close to his peak, and at this time, he could already clearly feel the new shackles in his body, he was not in a hurry to break through, at this time his injuries had not healed, and it would be counterproductive to forcibly break through.

However, the Tianyan Demon Sutra is indeed very mysterious, what he is cultivating at the moment is only the most basic mental method, and the refining efficiency has already surpassed the top-grade top martial arts, if he gets the whole article, I am afraid that it is the real day and thousands of miles!

......

Far away 5,000 miles away, the sky is chasing the country, Yuyang City.

In the long pavilion, the tune is tactful, and the aftermath is lingering.

The fingers of the unfragrant jade were lightly twisted, and suddenly the strings were plucked, and the snow suddenly flew away, and the birds on the branches were also frightened. I saw an unhappy look in her deep eyes, and she sighed and looked at the frozen lake.

At this time, a figure quietly arrived, half-knelt on the ground, and said: "The first seat, the Zichu Branch, has been confirmed, Qixing Lianyue has indeed lost a battle, and the fifth Nanluo has been cut off by someone. ”

"Can you find out who did it?" asked Wu Xiang's eyes were slightly cold.

"It seems to have been done by a group of people in bloody clothes and red masks. The subordinate replied.

"Huh...... It seems that the legendary blood-clothed people are really true!"

"The blood-clothed people are stupid and don't know. ”

"You don't know normal, the blood-clothed people only exist in the legends of the rivers and lakes, the last time it appeared was twenty years ago, and now twenty years later, it is the time of the competition of the ten masters, and it actually appeared again. ”

Wuxiang's eyes showed thought, and then, he sneered: "However, what makes me more curious is what kind of expression the Baili scholar should look like at this moment. ”

Baili scholar, the first seat of the Zichu branch of the Fengyun Society.

"By the way, Xiao Yuchen's news should have been found, right?"

The subordinate nodded, his eyes showing disbelief, "According to the report from the spies, Xiao Yuchen is already in Wanhuang City, which is five thousand miles away, and it seems to be famous. ”

"Tell me more. ”

The subordinates hurriedly and carefully said the general situation of Wanhuang City, and after listening to it, Wuxiang also felt a little incredible, Xiao Yuchen was not the sword intent the day after tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow?

actually slashed out a sword with the name of "the sword rises and the wind and the rain falls"?

"I didn't expect that Yun Qiuchang recruited such a person for my Yuyang Branch, but I have to thank him. ”

"Does the first seat want Xiao Yuchen to participate in this Hades dispute?" the subordinate guessed.

Wuxiang shook his head, "No, with his current ability, it's not enough, at least he has to wait until he steps into the True Source Realm Seventh Heaven before he can make plans." ”

"That first ......" subordinates were a little unpredictable.

Wuxiang said: "Wait until he kills Wang Buhu of the Tiger Eagle Gang, and then make a plan." In addition, about my identity, don't let Xiao Yuchen know for the time being. ”

"The subordinates understand. ”

The subordinate nodded and quietly retreated.

Wuxiang looked at the ice and snow in the lake, and said to himself: "The sword rises and the wind and clouds are sudden, and the sword falls in the wind and rain...... Hehe, Xiao Yuchen, let me see, can you help me?"

......

After some cultivation, the breath in his body ran more smoothly, and most of the meridians outside the dantian had healed, and it was estimated that in two or three days, he would be able to exert his fists and feet a little.

And just like that, the night passed.

In the early morning of the second day, when Xiao Yuchen decided to go outside, he saw a palace attendant coming to him, saying that he was summoned by the emperor.

For the first time in so many days, he heard that the emperor was looking for him, but he hadn't seen much except for a vague sight that day, so he followed the chamberlain to an elegant library.

"Let's go inside. The chamberlain stood at the door and said.

Xiao Yuchen nodded slightly, and walked in, only to see a gold-robed man reading a book inside, and when he saw him, he raised his eyes and smiled.

"You...... Is it the emperor?"

Nie Junhe smiled faintly, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Yuchen arched his hand and bowed, "The grass people have seen the emperor, I don't know what the emperor is looking for me?"

Nie Junhe stretched out his hand and motioned for Xiao Yuchen to sit at the table, and after Xiao Yuchen sat down, he said, "You are the emperor's life-saving benefactor, so I naturally came to you to discuss this reward." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yuchen's heart suddenly moved, and he stared directly at Nie Junhe, who was sitting opposite.

"Let me ask you, what do you want?"

"Knife!" Xiao Yuchen said immediately, as if he was not ready to give Nie Junhe a chance to regret it.

"Knife?" Nie Junhe didn't expect it, and couldn't help but ask the confusion in his heart, "But...... You're a swordsman, why do you want a sword?"

As everyone knows, what Xiao Yuchen is thinking about at this moment is the word "handful", when did he say that he only needs a handful? I can't imagine that this emperor is so fine. Thinking so in his heart, he smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just like it." ”

Seeing that Xiao Yuchen didn't want to say more, Nie Junhe didn't want to ask more, he gently closed the book, looked at Xiao Yuchen seriously, and asked, "What do you think of my Heavenly Pursuit Country?"

"The territory is vast, and the mountains and rivers are magnificent. ”

Xiao Yuchen smiled and said, "It's not a secret, I'm a wanderer, I came from the south, and I've wandered a lot over the years. ”

Nie Junhe nodded, "Then what do you think...... How am I?"

Xiao Yuchen's eyes were fixed, and he asked rhetorically: "The true meaning of the emperor's words, I'm afraid he wants to ask, how about being your courtier?"

Nie Junhe laughed and didn't deny it.

The two looked at each other, and Nie Junhe could feel the sharpness in Xiao Yuchen's eyes, and the slight movement of true qi reduced the stinging sensation, and this also made him admire this young man's sword path even more.

It's just that, since it's a question, there has to be an answer.

What will be Xiao Yuchen's answer?
