Chapter 20: Heroes at the Gala (1)

The once in a thousand years Ganyuan grand meeting was held in Chongwu's Zhong Lingyu Xiufeng.

Although Chongwu is located in the territory of Chaoyan, he has always been independent from the world and is not attached to any regime in the Eastern Continent. The Ganyuan Conference also invited all the slightly famous royal families and families in the Eastern Continent, from the Chaoyan royal family to the Southern Wilderness tribe. However, because the competition adopts an inter-clan promotion system, the guests who come to participate in the official competition are mainly the most powerful families and royal families.

For the major families, this event is an excellent opportunity to show their strength, and at the same time, it can also allow their children to be trained, and in the process of learning and communicating with young people of foreign races, they can discover their own shortcomings, so as to continue to work hard in cultivation. For the royal family and those in power, the event can be used to discover and attract talents.

The young people who participated in the competition were all gearing up and eager to try. There are those who don't want to lose the game and shame their families, there are those who want to take this opportunity to show their skills and win favor, and there are those who want to get the divine power of the Red Soul Bead.

The young people who do not participate in the competition, especially the girls in the boudoir, come to see the excitement under the banner of observation and learning on the surface, but in fact, they all hide the intention of observing their favorite objects up close and enriching the chatting after dinner. Although there are usually opportunities for gatherings, this kind of occasion where you can see the sons of the family show their talents and fight, is unique......

The venue of the competition was set at Tengen Pond. Viewing platforms and seats have been set up around the pool, arranged in a row according to the family, and there are curtains hanging above the seats of the female dependents, which flutter gently in the morning light. Chongwu's second disciple Zhenglang commanded the puppet attendants and maids, led the guests to the table, and then served melons, fruits, wine, and other things.

In the depths of Gan Yuan, Mu Chen saw the scene of Tianyuan Pool clearly through the Tongming Mirror in his hand.

This clear treasure mirror, which can present the scenery thousands of miles away, took decades of effort from several water spirit masters to condense with the ice crystals of the Northern Underworld. It was originally obtained by an ancestor of the Yanye royal family by chance, and it was passed down for several generations, and later it was brought to Chaoyan by Mu Chen's mother as a dowry.

Qing Ling was very curious about this magical mirror, and exclaimed repeatedly: "There is such a mirror!" It's so much more useful than the things in our Pavilion! ”

Mu Chen said: "The scriptures and classics in the Chongwu Bichen Pavilion are the treasures handed down from ancient times. How can this mirror be compared to a trick? ”

Qing Ling secretly pursed his lips, but he didn't want to show any disapproval, lowered his eyes, pointed to the Tongming mirror and asked Mu Chen, "Do you want to see anywhere?" ”

"Yesterday, Yan sealed the water of Tianyuan Pond into the mirror, and within three days, the mirror will always show the scenery refracted by the water of Tianyuan Pond."

Mu Chen's fingertips swept across the mirror, "As long as the water in the pool or the mist on its surface can be reflected, it can be magnified and viewed in detail." But if the pool water doesn't shine, you can't see it. ”

Qing Ling followed Mu Chen's fingers and looked at the viewing platform where the number of people in the mirror was increasing, trying to find familiar faces.

Mu Chen seemed to sense Qing Ling's thoughts, and his fingertips swiped lightly, "Chongwu's disciples are all on the main seat. ”

On the high platform in the middle of the pond, the disciples of Chongwu's sect stood side by side, with wide robes and wide sleeves, and flying clothes.

Standing on the far left is Qing Ling's fifth senior brother Li Zhong. Today, he wears a high-quality hazel gauze with bright peach blossom patterns printed on the corners and cuffs, which makes him look like a noble boy in the world.

Qing Ling couldn't help but slander in his heart, this guy is dressed like this, it's clear that he is not here to compete!

To the right of Li Zhong, there stood a man in a dark green robe, with a slightly thin figure and a quiet and gentle face.

Fourth Senior Brother Yuanqing!

Great, the fourth senior brother rushed back before the Ganyuan Conference, and now Chongwu's chances of winning are much greater!

Further to the right, it was Chongwu's eldest disciple, Chenyue, who was turning sideways, giving instructions to a waiter. Leaning less, the waiter was ordered to retreat, and Chenyue turned around, and his right arm was wrapped in a bandage and tied to his chest.

"Big brother is injured?" Qing Ling exclaimed unconsciously.

What's going on? At such a critical time, Senior Brother would actually be injured!

She didn't have time to speculate on the reason, but she saw that everyone's eyes had already moved to the other side of Tianyuan Pond in unison.

Mu Chen swiped the mirror and turned his perspective to the place where everyone's eyes fell.

In the morning sun, griffons flapped their huge golden wings and slowly descended from the sky, spreading their wings above the pond.

Chongwu Holy Monarch Moqian was dressed in white and silver-haired, with an indifferent and cold expression, carrying a long sword and a white rainbow, flying down the griffin, and landing steadily on the Tianyuan Pond, with a chic posture and a flat footing.

He took a step forward, and the water under his feet immediately condensed into ice like a white lotus blooming, and quickly spread out. One more step, and the pool water condensed again.

On the shore of the pond near the viewing platform, blue-black branches suddenly grew, quickly drawing, climbing, and budding, and then blooming delicate vines and begonias.

Condensing the pond into ice and blooming instantly, it may not be difficult for the first-class masters in the Protoss to do. But at the same time, it is rare to cultivate two completely different divine powers, water spirit and wood spirit, and to be able to refine it to such a state.

Qing Ling stuck in front of the Tongming Mirror and sighed adoringly: "Master really deserves to be the number one master of the Protoss!" ”

On weekdays, when I see the master in the Tang Garden, I always look like I am recuperating and recuperating, but I didn't expect to be so aggressive! It seems that the legends about the master told by the senior brother in the past are not false......

Mo Qian slowly walked towards the main platform under the attention of the guests on both sides, his silver hair fluttering in a golden arc in the morning breeze, and the pool behind him had solidified into a cold ice rink.

Qing Ling remembered the scene of her running away in embarrassment every time she ran into trouble, and couldn't help but complain, "Alas, when will I be as powerful as Master?" Now that I think about it, I can't believe that I could be Master's apprentice......"

Mu Chen was amused by Qing Ling's expression, and said softly with relief: "Your master has practiced in Chongwu for thousands of years. When you practice to his age, you will naturally be able to reach this realm. ”

Qing Ling felt the warm breath with Lan Zhi's breath lingering in his ears, and his heart skipped a beat, and the whole person seemed to be about to suffocate.

She was stiff and silent for a moment, and slowly raised her eyes to look at Mu Chen.

Because of the view in the small mirror at the same time, the two had to be very close, each other's breath could be heard, almost ear and sideburns grinding, as if they would touch their cheeks as long as they turned slightly sideways.

Mu Chen's long eyelashes, high straight nose bridge, and perfectly curved jaw gradually widened in Qing Ling's unblinking eyes. The pure and beautiful face reflected in her heart, immersed in the bones of her limbs, and then involved a wonderful throbbing, and even the deepest part of her soul trembled with it.

Mu Chen didn't realize that Qing Ling's heart was surging at the moment, and he stared at the Tongming Mirror with a focused expression.

The entire Tianyuan Pond has been condensed into an ice rink, and the next competition will be held on this ice in the form of a promotion system.

Mo Qian had already ascended to the main platform at this time, bowed slightly to the crowd on the viewing platform, and then slowly said something.

The Illuminated Mirror could only reflect the scene, but could not transmit sound, so Mu Chen could only guess what Mo Qian said through the expressions of the people around him.

With a flick of his fingertips, he moved to the viewing table to the right of the main seat.

In the most conspicuous place surrounded by the guards, sat Mu Han, the prince of Chaoyan. He was wearing a blue brocade robe embroidered with silver silk flowing cloud patterns, a jade belt around his waist, and a red jade fire lotus waist pendant hanging on it, with a dignified demeanor and solemn expression, with the demeanor and momentum that an imperial prince should have.

Next to Mu Han was Emperor Ji Mujing, who was holding a silk fan to cover her face.

She was wearing an ice-blue scattered flower Ruyi cloud smoke skirt, with a gorgeous butterfly play double-flower gilt step in her hair, her posture was slightly lazy, and compared with the lively and delicate appearance in Mu Chen's memory, she looked a little gloomy and dull. A pair of peach blossom eyes that should have been looking forward to shining were slightly lowered, as if they were indifferent to everything that happened on the field.

The guards and maids standing around the two of them with solemn and respectful demeanors, as well as the red flame emblem on the gold background representing the Chaoyan royal family on the banner behind them, made this viewing platform stand out from the Tianyuan Pond and became the most eye-catching sight.

Originally, the people sitting here should have their own.

Mu Chen sighed self-deprecatingly in his heart.

But scheming and ambition finally pushed him to a position hostile to blood relatives, to a dark corner that subverted all beliefs and bordered on despair.

Between the royal family, there is no father-son, sibling affection.

It's a pity that he understood this truth too late......

Qing Ling's gaze also fell on Ah Jing.

She sighed. It seems that Ah Jing was not too seriously injured by her own piano sound, and she sat in the viewing seat well, not like she was planning to lose peace with Chongwu. Xiao Qi, this guy, has solved the matter quite well......

"Will the Chaoyan royal family also participate in the competition?" Qing Ling asked.

Mu Chen shook his head, "Probably not." Chaoyan is different from the small countries in the south, once he participates in the tournament in the name of the royal family, he must at least ensure that he can enter the final round, so as not to lose face. ”

Because he had fought with Mu Han and Ah Jing, Qing Ling reacted very quickly this time, "I understand!" That Prince Mu Han's cultivation was too low, and he was afraid that he would lose face if he participated in the competition, so he simply didn't participate? ”

That's right, if you can't even resist your own wind phantom sound, how can you win other masters?

Mu Chen didn't say anything derogatory, only said: "Mu Han is still young, and he is too carefully protected by the queen, so he neglects to practice. With his and Ajing's identities, he didn't need to do everything himself. ”

Qing Ling was very curious about Mu Chen's past, but he didn't dare to venture into it, and now that he heard him mention the matter of siblings, he couldn't help but ask, "What about you?" I heard my fifth senior brother say that you once single-handedly repelled Lieyang's 100,000 army! ”

Mu Chen's eyes drooped slightly, and he smiled indifferently for a while, "Rumors are always exaggerated. ”

He looked at the clear mirror in his hand, and his expression became solemn, "It's time to start grouping." ”
