24. Lord Xu

"City Lord Xu, I'm really sorry, I haven't had time to make it clear to you." Zhao Yun interjected with a smile, trying to ease the atmosphere, "My second brother is ...... Something happened before, so I lost my memory. Now don't say it's you, even my father and our people he doesn't remember at all. Don't take it personally. ”

"Hmm." The middle-aged man known as the City Lord of Xu nodded stiffly and answered in a nasal voice.

Not to mention Zhao Hu's amnesia, even if Zhao Hu didn't have amnesia, his strength through the Xuan Realm was enough to make any monk who entered the Xuan Realm bow his head to him.

Because the gap between the big realms is not like the small realms, they can still rely on other means to make up for the gap.

In the monastic realm, the gap between each of the great realms is a chasm, because that represents a different understanding and application of power, the Great Dao, and the Dharma. In the secular world, there may be a great reversal in this story, but in the monastic world, it is almost impossible to see such a situation.

The reason why I say almost, is because there is still a glimmer of hope for a counterattack under certain special conditions.

But under the premise of a big difference, no one has ever heard of the weak killing the strong against the strong.

The most heard is that the weak successfully escaped after inflicting heavy damage on the strong.

The middle-aged man surnamed Xu opened his mouth and said that he would let Zhao Hu give him a face, which was purely because Zhao Yun's cultivation was almost the same as him, and the friendship between Zhao and Xu's two families for more than a hundred years, so he would take such a step to let Zhao Hu step down. After all, this matter was indeed provoked by his nephew first, and this time he did have something to ask the Zhao family for something, so it was not a matter for him to take a step back.

In the face of sufficient interests and the overall situation, the children of any family will not be emotional, which is the result of their own family's brainwashing for many years.

It is precisely for this reason that he, a monk from the Xuan Realm, would call Ye Kong, a monk who has entered the Xuan Realm, "Mr. Zhao", otherwise, if Ye Kong only enters the realm of the fourth layer of the Xuan Realm, how can he let a monk of the sixth layer of the Xuan Realm shout "Mr. Zhao".

And a person like Xu Qianjun who can act willfully may be a lot of people in gangs or sects, but it can be called rare in the family.

Of course, this matter can also prove from another aspect that the Xu family protects this young master very well, so he lacks sufficient social experience and social experience. At least the youthful arrogance in him has not been smoothed out by reality.

"City Lord Xu?" Ye Kong glanced at the middle-aged man, and had a slight impression of the name, but he couldn't remember the specifics.

"Under Xu Cheng, Yan Wu Xu, honest Cheng, Xu Cheng." City Lord Xu put one hand behind him, and his face showed a bit of pride, this is the normal attitude that a monk from the Xuan Realm should have towards a monk who has entered the Xuan Realm, "The title of City Lord is just a joke between acquaintances. ”

Ye Kong's eyebrows raised slightly.

He finally remembered why the name felt familiar.

The Xu family in Jiao'an has been established for a long time, and its history is even longer than that of the Zhao family in Tai'an, which has been inherited for nine generations, and is one of the four major families in Jiao'an. Four of the nine cities in the entire Jiao'an are under their control, and among them, the two cities of Black Mountain City and Giant Stone City are the key bases of their family forces.

And this Xu Cheng standing in front of Ye Kong's eyes, he is the third among the descendants of the eighth generation of the Xu family, he is a monk of the sixth layer of the Xuan Dynasty, and he is also the actual master of Kongshan City today, so he is also called the Lord of Xu City by many people. It's just that this title is very derogatory most of the time.

Because there is a set of unwritten rules on the Shenzhou continent.

Families that can establish clans in the Lower Nine Cities are usually called famous families, and such families must have at least one monk above the fourth level of the Circle Realm. If you want to gain a foothold in the Upper City of the First Realm, then at least one monk who has broken through the fourth layer or more must be in charge.

It is precisely for this reason that the monks who can control the lower city are generally sent to assist in the management of the lower city, and they must also be monks of the fourth level or even higher of the Circle Realm.

The actual manager of Black Mountain City was a Xu family monk on the seventh layer of the Circle Realm.

But the one who was sent by the Xu family to manage Empty Mountain City was Xu Cheng, a monk of the sixth layer of Xuanxuan, which was seriously inconsistent with the unspoken rules on the Shenzhou Continent. Therefore, for this "Xu City Lord", the famous families of Kongshan City naturally ignored it completely, but because of the Jiao'an Xu family behind it, they at least maintained their face on the surface.

However, the outside world doesn't know about this Xu City Lord, but Ye Kong won't know it.

Xu Cheng is a genius figure in the eighth generation of the Xu family - of course, compared to the genius standards defined by those big sects and families, Xu Cheng is naturally inferior, but in terms of the standards of the wang family and the wealthy family, Xu Cheng is absolutely up to the standard: he stepped into the Circle Realm before he was fifty years old, and once cultivated to the sixth layer of the Circle Realm, and he was only one foot away from becoming a master of the seventh layer of the Circle Realm.

It was only later rumored that Xu Cheng was seriously injured when he was training in a secret realm, and although he barely saved his life in the end, his cultivation was greatly damaged, and he would fall into the Xuan Realm.

Those who have enmity with Jiao An's Xu family naturally applaud, and those who have a good relationship, and world friends like the Zhao family are naturally sighing.

However, the truth of the matter is not what is rumored by the outside world.

In fact, Xu Cheng had gained a lot in that secret realm, and the "Forging God Technique" he was cultivating now came from that secret realm.

This is an upper-level Xuan-level exercise, and if you cultivate according to the mental method recorded in it, you can at least cultivate to the condensation realm. Compared with the lower-level Xuan-level exercises such as the "Commanding Yan Jue", which can only be cultivated to the breakthrough realm, the Jiao An Xu family is naturally only strong and not weak.

Although the Xu family did have the idea of this exercise, there are actually too few people who can meet the cultivation conditions of this exercise, so so far only Xu Cheng is cultivating. Of course, it is said that it is cultivation, but in fact, he is also in a state of exploration, so in the absence of guidance, his cultivation speed will naturally not be too fast, and it will take more than ten years to re-cultivate back to the sixth layer of Tongxuan, which is already a manifestation of his outstanding talent.

And Ye Kong knew this, and the reason was very simple.

Xu Cheng is a character that will appear during the game's open beta, and he was entangled in several quest lines in the game. However, the final result of the quest line was that Xu Cheng made a mistake in cultivating the "Forging God Technique", and he went mad and became a madman who kills people when he sees them. Of course, if the player can kill Xu Cheng, then it will also be 100% of the "Forging God Technique", an upper-level Xuan-level exercise, which is the only Xuan-level upper-level exercise that players can obtain in Jiao'an in the original game.

It's just that Ye Kong doesn't understand why Xu Cheng is here.

According to the historical process in the game, Xu Cheng should have been staying in the Xu family's mansion in Jiao'an City to retreat and cultivate, and failed to go crazy when breaking through the circle realm, and then he will become a unique wild boss.

Xu Cheng ...... Just by your name, I can give you a face. Ye Kong thought about it and felt that he really didn't need to worry about a person who was almost crazy, especially since this madman would become a big trouble for the Xu family.

Xu Cheng's face froze for a moment, and even Zhao Yun and Zhao De's faces looked extremely ugly.

Tai'an Mad Tiger went crazy, and sure enough, it didn't matter the occasion and the object.

If Zhao Yun still had some thoughts about testing Ye Kong's situation before, then he was now wishing that Ye Kong would shut up. He always felt that after his second brother lost his memory, he now spoke more indistinctly - although he never talked nonsense on occasions before, at least he would still talk about occasions.

He glanced at Zhao De, and both of them read each other's thoughts from each other's gaze: the second master seemed to be even more crazy.

"You're just arrogant!" Xu Qianjun roared out directly.

However, this time, Xu Cheng did not stop Xu Qianjun's words, obviously he was also a little unhappy with Zhao Hu's arrogance.

Zhao Hu glanced at Xu Qianjun, and then suddenly smiled: "I have the strength to be arrogant, why can't I be arrogant?" ”

Xu Cheng's brows furrowed, his face became gloomy, and his eyes were even more displeased.

Zhao Hu dared to be arrogant in front of him, and he also said that he had arrogant strength, which simply looked down on him, a monk of the sixth layer of Xuan. The distance between them is not a small realm, but a complete large realm.

"Second brother!" This time, Zhao Yun finally had to speak.

If Ye Kong continues to talk like this, I'm afraid he will have to fight with Xu Cheng.

"I'll give your third uncle a face, and I don't care about you, but if you're trying to provoke me, then we'll sign a life and death contract, how about it?" Ye Kong didn't bother to continue to entangle with Xu Qianjun here, he said mercilessly, the look on his face was already very impatient.

Xu Qianjun laughed angrily.

It's just that he just wanted to open his mouth to meet this challenge, but Xu Cheng next to him had already spoken: "Qianjun! If you mess around any more, get back to me! ”

When the words came to his lips but before he could say them, he was drunk by Xu Cheng, and Qianjun's face showed an unbelievable look of grievance: "Three...... Third Uncle ......"

"What did I tell you when I came?" Xu Cheng was so provoked by Zhao Hu, he was already extremely angry, but he knew that this time the matter was very tricky, so he restrained it again and again, and now Qianjun is still continuing to provoke Zhao Hu, this time Xu Cheng is really angry, and his voice can't help but be cold, "Do you need me to say anything more?" ”

Xu Qianjun pursed his lips and did not speak again.

The atmosphere in the arena suddenly became extremely cold, and there was no harmony at all.

Zhao Yun looked at Zhao Hu standing beside him with a headache, his heart was full of remorse, he knew that it would become like this, he would not let Zhao Hu come over. Originally, he thought that Zhao Hu was very likely to be taken away, so he wanted to take this opportunity to test it, but he didn't expect that he really lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot, this Zhao Hu was still the same bastard as before, and it could even be said that it had intensified.

"Let's talk about this time......

"No, you don't." Ye Kong glanced at Xu Cheng, Xu Qianjun, as well as Zhao Yun and Zhao De, he was very impatient with their hypocritical polite diplomacy, he might as well go back to accompany Qingyi, so he simply stopped pretending to be a good person, "It's not a problem to enter below the sixth layer, I can deal with up to three, if it's a sneak attack, then I'm sure I will kill with one blow." …… But on the other hand, I can only protect myself above the seventh layer, so there is no need to look for me for this kind of trouble. ”

Xu Cheng's eyebrows raised, he had already heard the meaning of Zhao Hu's words, and replied: "There are four to six people on the other side, all of them are from the Jiao Anluo family, and they stole a batch of goods that I was going to hand over to the family before, but under my blockade, they have no way to leave Kongshan City, and there are clues that the other party has entered the gray and white forest." After thinking about it, Xu Cheng hurriedly added: "They are all monks who have entered the Xuan Realm, and the level should be between the fifth and sixth layers of the Xuan Realm, but the leader is Luo Yuan, who should be a monk who has entered the seventh layer of the Xuan Realm." ”

Ye Kong didn't speak, but looked at Xu Cheng with eyes like an idiot.

It's just that four or six monks who have entered the sixth or seventh layer of the Xuan Realm can actually make Luo Cheng, a monk who has passed through the Xuan Realm, helpless, which can almost be said to be incompetent.

Xu Cheng seemed to know the meaning of Ye Kong's eyes, so he could only say helplessly: "There are not many people who come to Empty Mountain City with me, and recently there have been some news in Jiao An that is not very peaceful, so some people are panicking, and I want to block all the entrances and exits of the entire Empty Mountain City, so ......"

"Alright." Ye Kong stopped and signaled that he didn't want to listen to nonsense anymore, "I can't deal with the person who entered the seventh layer of Xuan, who are you going to find to enter the forest with me?" ”

"I'll arrange two people on my side ......"

"Time." Without waiting for Xu Cheng to speak, Ye Kong interrupted the other party's words again.

"The sooner the better."

"Tomorrow morning, the gray door will be waiting for me." After Ye Kong dropped such a sentence, he turned around and left, he didn't want to stay for even a minute in this front hall, "For other things, you go and talk to my third brother." As it just so happens that you're all in third place, I'm sure you have a lot of languages in common. ”

Watching Ye Kong turn around and leave in a dashing manner, Zhao Yun was looking at Ye Kong's back in a daze at the moment.

The person who was organized, logical, and neat just now would be his second brother who likes to cause trouble everywhere! Originally, he had just dispelled the idea that his second brother was taken away, but at this time, he unconsciously rose from the depths of his heart.

However, compared to Zhao Yun's mentality, Xu Cheng, who had only heard of Zhao Hu's mad tiger name, but didn't know Zhao Hu at all, sighed softly, and sighed in his heart at the same time: Tai'an Crazy Tiger? Oh, it seems that the family will have to pay more attention to this mad tiger in the future. This clumsy ability is better than mine, if not ......

Thinking of this, Xu Cheng glanced at his nephew, who was already full of anger at the moment, and then sighed helplessly.
