Chapter 21: Sabre-rattling

The hunchbacked old man Zhang Bo didn't know where to get out, so he grabbed a dead and seriously injured person and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

For the next ten days, there was a rare calm in the mountains.

Those people under the mountain naturally guessed that this mountain was abnormal now, and of course they would not come again, after all, for them, the masters of the Spirit Transformation Realm were also very scarce, and there were only a dozen in a city.

But at this time, the mountain has become a mess, and the three major city lords have done everything to force Tianyuan City to submit. Ye Li went down the mountain every morning to exercise, and he also heard about it.

Of course, Ye Li would not be stupid enough to ask someone about the situation in Tianyuan City, after all, there were not many people who liked him here, and there would be few people willing to pay attention to a waste who had taken up all the resources.

However, Ye Li was safe at the bottom of the mountain, although the people in those three cities and some people in Tianyuan City wanted Ye Li to die, but most of the people in Tianyuan City were willing to follow Zhao Kang, plus the second elder also resolutely carried out the order to protect Ye Li, Ye Li naturally would not be in danger of his life at the bottom of the mountain.

However, Ye Li only listened to the specific situation casually when he went down the mountain, and most of them were from Zhao Wenying.

Since Ye Li helped Zhao Wenying purify the aura in her body, Zhao Wenying's cultivation speed has been rising, coupled with Ye Li's guidance in martial arts, Zhao Wenying's strength has improved a lot in just half a month, so she is naturally willing to come every day, even in advance.

And these days, Zhao Wenying's face has gradually begun to look difficult, and the situation under the mountain is really not optimistic.

The three city lords proposed to Tianyuan City that the younger generation should use a competition to determine the ownership of the exempt bamboo slips, which was originally the goal that the Great Elder and the Third Elder wanted to achieve, but when they understood the cultivation of the young people in the three cities, these two people began to suffer from gains and losses again.

The cultivation of those teenagers had actually broken through the Eight Heavens, and they were not sure that their children would be able to defeat each other.

And while Tian Yuan City was hesitating, the city lords of the three major cities actually directly began to threaten with force intentionally or unintentionally, and if the city lords of the three major cities really joined forces, they would not get anything.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, the men and horses of the three major cities had already assembled, and it was obvious that as long as the three city lords gave an order, Tianyuan City would definitely be overwhelmed by a large army.

The second elder in Tianyuan City, who was in charge of the overall situation, had no choice but to use Zhao Kang's absence to shirk it, but the other party obviously wanted to deal with this matter before Zhao Kang came back, and the means of the threat of force were even more obvious, and the armies of the three major cities actually went out of the city directly, saying that it was a drill, but it was obviously a blatant threat.

In the end, Zhao Kang's return date was uncertain, and the second elder had to give in and agreed to the other party's conditions, but the condition was that the competition had to wait until Zhao Kang came back, and the other party agreed without hesitation.

Now, the Second Elder pinned all his hopes on the first day of Tianyuan City, Zhao Wenying.

Zhao Wenying is naturally not afraid of martial arts, but she feels that this matter is really a nest, but her father is not there, so she can only reluctantly accept the reality, and she has begun to practice desperately these days.

Ye Li really didn't pay much attention to these intrigues, all he was worried about was Zhao Kang's safety.

It's been more than half a month since he's been out of the wilderness now, and he's never been out for so long.

But when asked Ye Lian'er, Ye Lian'er just shook her head, the person they were following Zhao Kang had not yet returned, and Ye Li's heart couldn't help but become even more worried.

Now Ye Li's cultivation is only the peak of the Fifth Heaven, although he can break through the Sixth Heaven in a few days, but this is obviously far from enough, he has to wait patiently for Zhao Kang's return.

However, in the past ten days of quiet cultivation, Ye Li's biggest gain is not cultivation, but martial arts.

Those sets of yellow-rank lower-grade martial arts Ye Li has been successfully cultivated, although he can't reach the level of attracting external aura to assist in attacks, but at least he can fully exert his aura.

And the next three sets of Xuanyuan martial arts, Ye Li has also begun to cultivate, and even he has finished cultivating a set of "Xuanyuan Sword Technique", but because the aura in his body is far from enough, he has not been able to fully exert its due strength in this set of martial arts.

The most important thing is that this set of martial arts Ye Li can't completely cultivate twice at all, and the aura in his body has been almost consumed after the first time of cultivation.

In desperation, Qin Feng had no choice but to fight in a roundabout way, not wanting to cultivate the entire set of martial arts, only selecting the more useful part of it to cultivate, and not caring about the consumption of spiritual energy at all when cultivating, and striving to be able to exert the maximum attack on these moves, and this method was obviously very successful.

Now Ye Li has been able to completely perform several of these extremely offensive moves, and has been able to exert his seventh-layer strength, although these moves consume spiritual energy more seriously, but it is a better way.

Another set of martial arts "Sword Shadow Thunder" Ye Li also practiced a few moves, and this set of attack-based martial arts consumed aura, so Ye Li had to be careful.

After this cultivation, Ye Li could only smile bitterly, it seems that improving his strength is the last word.

Just when Ye Li was desperately preparing to attack the Sixth Heaven in the past few days, Ye Li'er suddenly brought news that his father-in-law, Zhao Kang, had finally returned.

It's just that Zhao Kang was seriously injured.

After hearing Ye Lian'er say about Zhao Kang's injury, Ye Li immediately rushed down the mountain.

Along the way, it naturally attracted a lot of surprised eyes, after all, Ye Li rarely came down the mountain at this time.

All the way to Zhao Kang's residence, he found that the door of his room was full of people, and the Great Elder and the Third Elder were naturally there.

At the same time, there were three middle-aged men, one in a black robe, with a shocking scar on his face, which looked extremely infiltrating, it was Yue Tao, the city lord of Moon Earth City, and an equally tall young man next to him was naturally his son Yue Tianqi.

The other person was dressed in a green robe and a goatee with a smile on his face, which was naturally Shui Ganqian, the city lord of Shuiyu City, and a young man with a cold face next to him was his son.

The last is a short and fat old man, but it is Yun Han, the city lord of Hancheng, and a chubby young man next to him is his grandson Yun Tang.

At the door, Zhao Wenying stopped everyone and said loudly: "My father is not a guest today, if there is anything to talk about tomorrow, please go back." ”

"City Lord Zhao is a bit unkind, isn't it?" Shui Ganqian said, "I've been waiting for Tianyuan City for more than half a month, and we've been waiting for so long, and when we come back but don't see guests, it's not a way of hospitality." ”

"Yes, they are also neighboring city-states, is this what City Lord Zhao is like?" Yue Tao said angrily.

"Brother Zhao, isn't there any trouble," the short and fat old man Yun Han looked kind, "If you encounter any trouble, I can help." ”

Zhao Wenying frowned, and instinctively wanted to ask the two elders for help, but seeing that the two of them looked like they were watching a good show, she finally said urgently: "My father has more important guests to see now, so you should come back tomorrow." ”

This sentence instantly angered several people present.

"Hmph, more important?" Shui Ganqian snorted coldly, "I don't know who is more important than us?"

"Yes, what we're going to talk about is a major matter that will affect the life and death of your Tianyuan City. Yue Tao said coldly, the threat in his words was obvious.

Zhao Wenying trembled with anger when she heard this, but she didn't know how to answer for a while.

"When will you have to worry about the life and death of Tianyuan City?" Ye Li said suddenly.
