050 Recruiting relatives in martial arts?
After a night of pranayama, Phantom Rain's injuries had fully recovered, and he faintly felt the signs of imminent advancement.
However, this is not the best time, so I can only temporarily hold back the desire in my heart and suppress it first.
"Knock Knock"
At this time, the sound of knocking on the door sounded, and Phantom Yu got up to open the door, and Elder He at the door was looking at him with a smile.
Phantom Rain hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"Well, you're all back from your injuries."
Elder He asked with a little concern.
"It's fine, thank you for your concern."
Phantom Rain's heart warmed and replied respectfully.
"That's good, just do your best in today's game, don't be too forced"
Phantom Yu hurriedly said yes, then remembered something, and then spoke.
"The disciple has something to ask the elder to answer"
Elder He waved his hand and motioned for him to continue.
"After today's big competition, the disciple wants to go out to cultivate for a period of time, and I'm afraid that he won't be able to return to the sect with the elders at that time."
Phantom Rain said truthfully, this is also what he originally planned.
Elder He pondered slightly and nodded slowly.
There are no longer a few disciples in the sect who go out to practice, and there is nothing wrong with Phantom Yu's request, so he doesn't make it difficult.
When everything was ready, the group set out on their way to the palace.
As the imperial capital, Tianque City is already extremely lively, but today it is even worse.
Because a huge high platform was erected in front of the palace gate overnight, the most conspicuous thing is that the main body of this high platform is red, giving people a festive feeling, and the surrounding area has long been surrounded by ordinary people who are watching the excitement, and a group of soldiers stand neatly around the palace to maintain order, in addition to the imperial city guards, there are also some of them belong to the imperial forest army of Ouchi.
When people from many forces come here, the first thought is to wonder.
The Hundred Sects Competition can be regarded as a more solemn game, and no matter how you look at such an arrangement, it feels a little out of place.
Although everyone was a little baffled, fortunately, no one made trouble, and everyone stood there quietly waiting.
After waiting for almost an hour, Ling Chendao's figure appeared in everyone's eyes first.
It was still dressed in a Taoist robe and carried a cane, but no one dared to despise this old man in the slightest.
Not to mention his identity as a national teacher, Phantom Rain's intuition told him that this old man was definitely not the old man he saw on the surface, and his cultivation was estimated to be much higher than most of the people present.
"Ahem, it seems that you came much earlier than the old man and me."
Ling Chendao showed a smile and said slowly.
People from various forces hurriedly laughed.
At this time, a person stood up, slowly bowed down and looked at Ling Chendao and said.
"There is something unclear about the old decay, please ask the national teacher to solve the doubts"
Ling Chendao was about to speak, when he interrupted him with a shout.
"Your Majesty has arrived"
As this sound sounded, the surrounding soldiers and people knelt down for the first time, including Ling Chendao, who knelt on the ground tremblingly and leaned down.
As for the people of these sects and family forces, no one knelt down, and they all just bent over in unison.
At this time, a figure slowly appeared on the wall of the palace gate, dressed in a dragon robe, wearing a golden crown, from the face, about forty years old, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, not angry and self-assured, without the slightest superfluous expression on his face, this person is the emperor of the Shenyu Dynasty, Mu Qingtian.
"Get Up"
There was no joy or anger in his voice.
"Your Majesty"
Everyone respectfully responded in unison, and then slowly got up and stood still, as for Ling Chendao, he was supported by the people next to him.
Phantom Rain looked at the imperial master of the Phantom Feather Continent for the first time at this time, different from what he saw on TV in his previous life, this is the emperor who appeared in front of him alive, and he has such a domineering spirit of ruling the world between his gestures, and nodded lightly, this kind of temperament is indeed not comparable to ordinary people.
His eyes scanned the crowd, and everyone's expressions were in full view, and Mu Qingtian continued to speak.
"It seems that you also have a lot of doubts"
No one spoke, all quietly waiting for his next step.
I saw that the emperor sighed softly and said.
"There are four princes under my knees, but there is only one princess, who has always been regarded as a treasure by me, but now that the princess has reached the age of leaving the cabinet, I am also deeply worried."
Hearing this, many elders were even more puzzled, not knowing what this majesty wanted to express.
"This time there is a big competition of 100 sects, and the young talents of the major sects are gathered here, so I want to take this opportunity to choose a wishful man for my daughter, so this last round is set up in front of this palace."
Everyone looked at each other a little, and Phantom Rain was also confused, daring to love this hundred sects of the big competition turned into a competition to recruit relatives, my God.
"I announce that the top three winners of this competition will have a chance to confess to the princess, and as for who will become my son-in-law in the end, it will be up to the princess to decide."
Before the people below could react, Mu Qingtian's figure disappeared on the city wall, and when he left, his gaze still took a deep look in several directions.
The people below fell into a discussion for a while, including those ordinary people, that is a princess, if you can marry a princess, there is no need to say that she will be prosperous and rich in this life, and this princess still has the reputation of the first beauty in the world, and many people's eyes show longing.
As for the directions that Mu Qingtian looked at before, there was a young man in luxurious clothes, and these four people were his sons and the four princes of Shenyu.
Today's event, they will definitely come to watch, as for the reason, it is easy to think that these days, the major sects have more or less been in contact with these four people.
After these four people heard Mu Qingtian's words, they first showed a trace of surprise, and then fell into contemplation with different expressions, obviously they also couldn't guess their father, what the reason for doing this was, others didn't know, but they knew very well how much this father doted on their imperial sister.
It happened so suddenly that many elders didn't react at all, and for these contestants, being able to marry a princess was not a bad thing on the surface, and besides, she was still a beauty.
However, after thinking about it, this matter is not so simple, this is more like a kind of co-optation, all along, many sect forces are not subject to the constraints of imperial power, if this opportunity is taken advantage of this opportunity, one sect successfully marries the royal family, then it is difficult to say what will happen after that.
Which of these elders is not an old man, if you think about it carefully, how can there be a reason not to understand the crookedness in it.
"Ahem, now that everyone has understood, then the old man will talk about the rules of this last round"
"The National Teacher is Slow"
Just as Ling Chendao spoke at the right time, the elders of one of the forces stood up.
Ling Chendao looked over with some displeasure.
The man could only bite the bullet.
"I beg the national teacher to forgive me, my Holy Sword Sect is willing to withdraw from this last round"
"I Yanshan Sect ....."
"Qingyao Valley ......."
“...........‘’
A total of five sects jumped out one after another, all expressing the same meaning.
These people all bowed their heads, they also knew that doing so would undoubtedly offend the royal family completely, but they had to do it, and they had to measure it in such a very short time.
Ling Chendao glanced at these people with sharp eyes, and then spoke softly.
"Since you have made up your minds, the old man is not strong."
Hearing this, the five of them all breathed a sigh of relief, quietly wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads, hugged their fists at Ling Chendao, and then turned around and hurriedly left here with their disciples.
There was some uproar among the people all around.
With the departure of the five forces, the rest of the people didn't dare to gasp, this is other people's territory, and they have repeatedly refuted other people's faces, and it is difficult to guarantee that others will not be angry.
"So let's get started"
Ling Chendao said lightly, his tone a little cold.
There were originally ten people, but now there are only five people left, but the way it was decided has not changed, it is still a draw, that is, one person can directly advance to the top three by bye.
Maybe it's God's favor, this bye was actually pumped by the phantom rain, and the other four people were almost vomiting blood, who would have thought that this person with the lowest cultivation would actually lie directly in the top three, it's really unreasonable.
Phantom Rain is not really stupid enough to think that it is his own luck, his intuition tells him that behind this seemingly unreasonable everything, there is always a trace of unusual taste, when the lottery was drawn before, he did not come forward to draw at all, because the other four people did not draw a bye, so he was automatically defaulted to a bye.
After thinking hard for a long time, he didn't have the slightest clue, and Phantom Rain could only shake his head with a wry smile, all the way down, as if every time Lady Luck was on his side.
