Accompanied by Long Xiyang and Lu Junjie, the brightly dressed Lingxiao and his party entered the largest square in the entire Xuanmu City. Looking at it, this place is bigger than the white jade square on Lingxiao Peak, and after walking a short distance, they feel that their feet do not look like the ground, and they look down and find that the ground of the entire square is paved like an incomparably huge yellow and white wooden plank.

Seeing everyone's surprise, Long Xiyang explained with a smile: "Everyone, since this place is called Xuanmu City, there must naturally be Xuanmu. We're on top of this piece of wood right now, and it's not dead. He pointed to several platforms several feet high around him: "Those are all born of this piece of Xuanmu, and the top is polished and smoothed to become the Panlong Terrace." ”

"There are mysterious places in the five mysteries and five domains, and this place under our feet is considered one. Lu Junjie exclaimed: "When I first came here with my father, I was in the same mood as you. It was only later that I found out that it was really a whole piece. ”

Long Xiyang laughed along: "Fourth Brother Lu and I haven't told everyone about this, just to let everyone experience this feeling, this piece of Xuanmu said that it is a tree that has no branches and leaves, and it is not a tree but can still grow slowly." He pointed to the platforms: "These have to be sharpened every time the dragon meets, but they are still a little taller than ten years ago." ”

All the people in Lingxiao felt like ants on this piece of Xuanmu with a radius of thousands of feet, and their hearts were shocked by the miracle of this creation of heaven and earth. They walked not far away and saw Lu Wanchen and several old men wearing the blue robes of the Long family coming up on the opposite side.

"You Lingxiao is idle, I heard that the head of Changqing has been here for three days. Lu Wanchen leaned closer and laughed in a low voice: "This time you have made a lot of trouble in Xuanmu City, I just arrived yesterday and heard that the four major Bofang lost hundreds of immortal crystals." ”

An old man in a green robe behind him stepped forward and arched his hand: "You are courteous in Xialong Huaiqing, please come with me in Changqing, my eldest brother has prepared tea over there, let's go over and sit down and talk again." ”

The seats of the Lingxiao people were arranged behind the Red Maple Sect. Seeing that the sect master of the Red Maple Sect and several elders of the Long family came over to greet him in person, the several sects that came over early all had different faces. When they entered, only one elder led the way, and the seats were far back, and the courtesy they received was a clear testament to their extraordinary status.

Seeing Lingxiao and everyone approaching, Long Huaigu, who described the mighty as fierce, stood up from his seat: "The head of Changqing has come thousands of miles to support the scene, and I have thanked the old dragon here in advance." Changqingzi bowed and saluted: "The Lord of the Dragon City is polite, Lingxiao's participation in the Panlong Festival is really the care of the City Lord, I have been in the city for a few days, and I know that the Lord of the Dragon City is busy, so I don't want to disturb and have not come to the door to visit, and I hope that the City Lord Haihan." ”

"Hahaha...... Brother Lu is right, Long and the head of Changqing really hated to meet each other. Changqingzi's attitude of not being humble or arrogant made Long Huaigu appreciate it very much: "Your faction is not light in the Xuanmu Northern Region now, and we will be closer in the future." ”

As soon as everyone sat down, the figures in the square swayed, and various factions came. Even if it was a big faction like Lingyun City and Zhu Huacheng Danxin Pavilion, which were among the few in the Xuanmu Domain, the Long family only sent two elders to greet them. Moreover, Long Huaigu only nodded and said hello a few times and did not get up.

The heads of the several factions in Lingyun City who had participated in the previous Panlong Society naturally discovered the Lingxiao people and their location. After a while, Ling Yize, the city lord of Lingyun City, and the elder Ling Yinian, who was a disciple of Ling Xiao, approached Shi Li: "Master Changqing, our two factions are not far apart, and we will have to come and go back and forth often in business in the future." ”

As soon as they left, Fan Yongcheng, the head of the Fan family of Danxin Pavilion, and a red-faced old man also came together: "The head of Changqing, this is Zhu Peng, the city lord of our Zhuhua City." The two of us have always been partners in some business, and we will need to take care of you in the future. ”

What these two families do is to collect rare treasures, and the authenticity of the things on each person is naturally known at a glance. Fan Yongcheng and Zhu Peng politely went back and sat next to Ling Yize: "The things on those kids' bodies are all valuable goods, and they can't buy them without dozens of top-grade immortal crystals, it seems that they have really turned over." ”

There was a commotion on the field. An old man wearing a pale gold floral robe, with three locks of black beard and long eyebrows under his chin, entered with his hands in his hands and nodded at the acquaintances. He was followed by several old men who were calm and relaxed, and their cultivation was not weak. The four elders of the Dragon Sect hurriedly greeted him: "Why did Hu Geshou come?" ”

This elegant-looking Confucian was Hu Xiucheng, the head of the Wanhua Pavilion, one of the four saints of the Xuanmu Domain, and he came to Longhuai Valley lightly and hugged his fists as a salute: "Dragon City Lord, Hu Xiucheng is late, and I hope to forgive my sins." Long Huaigu squinted and looked at him and got up and saluted: "Hu Geshou is really polite, you can come all the way to add glory to Long's face." ”

Hu Xiucheng had just sat down, and twenty or thirty people wearing robes full of embroidered emerald bamboo leaves followed closely, and a short and fat old man with sparse hair in front of him smiled: "Dragon City Lord, Gui Zhengyang is polite." It's been a long time since we've seen each other. ”

Long Huaigu still had a good impression of him: "Lord Guishan has come from afar, please sit down, this time Long specially prepared a good wine for you." Gui Zhengyang laughed: "Great, it's hard for you to remember this as the city lord." ”

The seats on both sides are separated from the east and west sides of the Long family, Wanhua Pavilion is at the head seat in the east, Guizhushan is arranged at the head seat in the west, and next to it are the two factions of the Red Maple Sect and Lingxiao. There was still a row of empty seats on the east side, presumably for Chibai City, the only one of the Four Saints who had not yet arrived.

Dozens of people from hundreds of sects were present, and nearly 10,000 people sat in this huge square made of dark wood and still didn't feel crowded, at this time, an old man in a green robe leaned over to Long Huaigu and whispered a few words in his ear, Long Huaigu nodded after listening: "Don't worry, let everyone drink tea first, I want to see how long he can drag on." ”

At this moment, there was a sound of heavy footsteps outside the square, "Tom Tom" was getting closer and closer, a black giant with a height of two feet walked in front of a group of people and slowly entered, and an old man in a brown brocade robe sat on the shoulders of the giant and swayed: "Lord Dragon City, I drank a little too much in the east of the city yesterday and just got up, but the women of your Xuanmu City are really strong, no worse than the girls in Wanhua Pavilion." ”

Jumping off the giant, the brown-robed old man approached slowly, and on the way he passed, people on both sides stood up and saluted: "I've seen the Yuwen City Lord." The old man in the brown robe didn't just wave his hand casually, walked to the front of Longhuai Valley and hugged his fists alive, and then sat down next to Hu Xiucheng: "It's late, you have to be under the people." ”

Hu Xiucheng said with a smile: "Yuwen City mainly likes to be on it, and Hu will exchange it with you." It's not the same who sits there, it's just a seat, and it can't tell the difference between high and low. ”

Seeing that the two of them sang and harmonized, Long Huaigu's face flashed with unhappiness, and he patiently waited for the group of people in Chibai City to sit down, he stood up and shouted loudly: "Fellow Daoists, ten years have passed in a flash, and it is time for the Panlong Society. Let's get together for a few days. Let these juniors also know each other, and the Xuanmu Domain will be their world sooner or later. ”

"In the past ten years, the business of the cities in the Xuanmu Domain has been thriving, what do the old guys want, what can you talk about, let's discuss together, there are many people and great strength, as long as we work together, there will be no ......"

"Dragon City Lord, I have a difficult matter here, you let everyone give me ideas first. Seeing that his words were interrupted by Yuwen Dong, Long Huaigu's face flashed with green light: "Yuwen City Lord, please have something to say." ”

Yu Wendong sat on the chair and looked cold: "Dragon City Lord, I don't know if other people's transactions have been good in the past ten years, but my Chibai City is very bad now." He looked at the Red Maple Sect and grinded his teeth: "Sect Master Lu must be in a good mood recently, but as soon as you get through the business, the monthly income of Chibai City will be reduced by twenty percent." ”

"If it goes on like this, it won't take ten years, and our passing business in Chibai City will have to let Sect Master Lu rob you. Yu Wendong turned his head to look at Long Huaigu: "Didn't the Dragon City Lord say that everyone should talk about it, then let's discuss the matter between me and him first." ”

No one expected that the Panlong Society had just begun, and Chibai City, one of the Four Saints, would take the lead in provoking. Long Huaigu sneered when he heard this: "Of course you can, then let's all come and listen to what Brother Lu has to say." Lu Wanchen stood up with a smile on his face: "Fellow Daoists, since the Lord of Yuwen City has mentioned this matter, let's all come to evaluate it." ”

"More than seventy percent of the medicinal herb business in the Xuanmu Domain is sold to the rest of the five Xuan domains, and the location of Chibai City is prominent, whether it is bought and sold in our domain or transported to other regions, it has to be passed. Yuwen City Lord, those merchants who chose us are only a few hundred miles north of your Chibai City, they would rather spend a few more days in a big circle than pass through Chibai City, don't you know why?"

Lu Wanchen's voice gradually became louder: "No matter what kind of livelihood you make, you will have to charge at least 30% of the toll money for transporting goods through your Chibai City, and if you have valuables, you will have to add another 10%. Doesn't the Yuwen City Lord think this amount is too much?"

Yuwen Dong had contempt on his face: "What's wrong with charging more money for tolls?, don't we have to eat with thousands of people in Chibai City?" Lu Wanchen snorted: "Nearly half of the merchants in the Xuanmu Domain have been slashed by the Yuwen City Lord, if Chibai City doesn't have anything to eat, wouldn't we have starved to death a long time ago?"

"What's more, after some merchants who transported valuables paid the toll money and left Chibai City, they somehow leaked the news and encountered bandits, and the people who transported the goods lost the goods at least and lost their lives at the worst, Yuwen City Lord, you won't know anything about these things, right?"

Yuwendong lowered his face and glared: "Lu Wanchen, do you mean that I colluded with the bandits to rob people and property?" Lu Wanchen shook his head: "I naturally trust the Yuwen City Lord, but this kind of thing happens too much, which will naturally make some merchants feel uneasy." Although the trade routes of our sect are remote, some people ask friends to come to them, and they can't be turned away. ”

Without waiting for Lu Wanchen to say more, Yuwendong Huo Ran stood up: "Don't talk nonsense, the two factions of the Panlong Club will use this matter as an extra lottery to compare, if you win, I won't ask about the business robbery." If we win, we'll give me half of the money we earn. Do you dare?"

Hearing his words, Long Huaigu and Lu Wanchen's faces changed at the same time, it turned out that Yu Wendong's real purpose was not to disrupt the situation, but to take the opportunity to propose such a gambling contract that was obviously unreasonable, but Lu Wanchen could not refuse in public.

Yuwendong, who was still looking like a scoundrel just now, showed a smug smile on his face, and Lu Wanchen had no choice but to nod when he saw this: "Yuwen City Lord has already made wishful thinking, since you are so thoughtful, Lu will accompany you to gamble." ”

"Okay, Sect Master Lu is really happy, then it's decided. Yu Wendong stood up and arched his hand at Long Huaigu with a spring breeze on his face: "Chenglong City Lord cares, the affairs of Chibai City have been completed, so please continue to talk about it City Lord." ”

Since his appearance, Yu Wendong has put on a rebellious posture. In a few words, Lu Wanchen was forced to agree to this unfair gambling contract in front of everyone. Although he looks very rough on the outside, his scheming is really deep.

Long Huaigu continued to say a few kind words with a smile on his face, and ordered to serve wine, refreshments, and fresh melons and fruits. Several major sects also talked about gossip one after another. Taking this opportunity, Lu Wanchen sat next to Changqingzi with an apologetic face: "Head of Changqing, I have to deal with this matter, and I can't discuss it with you because of the situation......

Chang Qingzi's expression was calm: "What did Sect Master Lu say, since we cooperate, we must trust each other, do you think I am such a stingy person?" Lu Wanchen was slightly relieved and looked at Long Huaigu on the main seat, and the two of them looked at each other and felt a little worried in their hearts. Since Yu Wendong dared to raise this matter in public, he must be very confident in the next competition.

Over there, Hu Xiucheng and Yuwen Dong also sat together and whispered: "Yuwen City Lord, how can you be so sure? I heard that Long Xi'an has broken through the Five Qi Realm. Yu Wendong snorted lightly: "What's so great about the Five Qi Realm? Since I dare to bet, I have this certainty, Hu Geshou, you just wait to see the show." ”

Everyone in the audience talked casually for a while, and Long Huaigu stood up again: "Everyone, we haven't worked hard for half our lives for this group of small people, let them all come out and get to know each other to show their skills, and if there is any business in the future, you can hand it over to them." ”

In the midst of everyone's laughter, Long Huaigu pointed to several Panlongtai in the field: "Whoever has the heart will wait on the stage first." If there is a lottery, it depends on which of them has the ability to take a few more. But we're just talking, so let's get to the point. Let's get started, everybody. ”

The atmosphere on the field suddenly became more enthusiastic, and most of the sects that came to participate in the Panlong Club were to let the juniors come out to see the big scene and take the opportunity to make friends, and they did not have other thoughts like Yu Wendong. As soon as Long Huaigu's words fell, several Panlongtai jumped up several young people with excited faces.

There was a dragon family elder standing on each stage, in addition to witnessing the victory and defeat, the main thing was to worry that someone would stop and hurt the other party. These elders are all in the Yin and Yang realm, and it is naturally easy for the two junior disciples to separate from each other.

"Wen Jingtong, a disciple of the White Tea Valley, has half a catty of fragrant tea with white leaves. ”

"Bihechi disciple Yu Xianru, a pair of colorful jasper discs. ”

"Yan Chunhui, a disciple of Luohua City, has a hundred-year-old chicken head and yellow essence. ”

"Wu Zheng, a disciple of Caiyun City, has a colorful purple cloud lingzhi. ”

The elders of Xuanmu City in the audience asked for the name and color head and reported it loudly. All that's left is to see who comes up to compete. Just like Long Xiyang said that day, as long as these lottery heads win a few things, they will gain a lot. The front of the Panlong platform was soon crowded with disciples of various factions who were scrambling to be the first.

Since returning from the realm of life and death, among the several chief disciples of Lingxiao, except for Gu Yan, the rest are already cultivators of the upper three realms. Seeing that there were already people on several Panlong Terraces, and after separating the winners and losers, they took the other party's lottery heads, and Jiang Lei and the others couldn't sit still.

"Master, why don't we try it too?" Chang Qingzi turned back to them and smiled: "Of course you can, but you have to be careful with your lottery, if you lose, I won't have anything to replenish you." ”

These disciples all had precious objects given by Zhang Zhao in their hands, and they each measured the cultivation of the disciples of other sects on the Panlong Platform to challenge, and they all came back with their things contentedly, and compared them happily with each other.

The Panlong Club lasted until noon, except for Zhang Zhao, Mo Junfeng and Gu Xianrong, the rest of the Lingxiao disciples had already come to the stage to compete, because almost all of the people who appeared now were small sects, and they naturally all returned victorious.

"Zhang Zhao, why don't you go up and try it?" After listening to Gu Yan's words, Zhang Zhao shook his head lightly: "I don't know who to compete with first." Jiang Lei also persuaded in the back: "That's not easy to do? You can go up when the station is vacant and wait for others to come." ”

Zhang Zhao thought this was a good idea, and he stared at the competition next to him that was about to end and stepped forward. When he got closer, he saw that there were already a few people waiting in the audience, and it was a few sons who had been to the four major expos a few days ago.

These four sons are all young and vigorous, although they are respectful to Zhang Zhao in front of their respective fathers, they are still a little unconvinced, they see Zhang Zhao coming over and are in the middle of it, they make each other look at each other and greet them with smiling faces, Weng Gongzi took the lead in giving a salute: "This brother, you raised your noble hand that day, it is better to invite you to come to the stage first." ”

Zhang Zhao saw that Duan Gongzi and the three of them next to him all gave up, and thanked them as if they were all kind. After the competition on the stage, he reported his name, and handed over the double-headed dragon and tiger ginseng in his hand to the elders in the audience for inspection. After walking a few steps, he saw Weng Gongzi following closely behind.

"Lingxiao's disciple Zhang Zhangzhao, a colorful dragon and tiger double-headed ginseng. ”

"Shuncaifang Weng Junhao, a white jade pot with colored head mutton fat. ”

"Brother Weng, ...... are you?" Seeing that Zhang Zhao was a little puzzled, Weng Junhao smiled on his face: "This brother, there are no outsiders anyway, let's have a discussion." The prize was taken away by someone else. ”

Not far from the audience, Weng Youquan and Fang Wenxuan were shocked when they saw this situation. Weng Junhao is nearly thirty years old, and it has been more than two years since he broke the upper three realms, although there are elders of the Long family who can't hurt Zhang Zhao, in case he offends this lucky boy, Shuncaifang doesn't have to break a big fortune again.

Zhang Zhao found that Weng Junhao and the three sons in the audience were all smiling badly at this time: "In this case, Brother Weng, please." He reached out and pulled out the Immortal, and the light flashed and condensed into a machete. Weng Junhao saw the secret joy in his heart, and showed a pair of silver hooks that flashed with fine light: "Weng is going to offend." ”

The two of them made a few moves, and several sons in the audience were disdainful. They felt that Zhang Zhao had flashed Weng Junhao's double hook with his footsteps, but the three-foot machete in his hand was disorganized, although there was a faint light, but it could not be a threat to Weng Junhao.

Weng Junhao almost laughed out loud. At the beginning, he saw that Zhang Zhao had already condensed and formed, and he was still a little wary in his heart, but after more than a dozen moves, he saw that Zhang Zhao didn't even have a little bit of accuracy in his hand, although the momentum was not small, but many moves would definitely not be able to cut his body even if he didn't move.

Even the elder of the Dragon Family, who was standing on the side of the stage watching the battle, felt a little bored, the two fought for a long time, and Zhang Zhaodong had not crossed the blades once in the west. If he hadn't seen Lingxiao and the Red Maple Sect sitting together and had a close relationship, he would have wanted to speak directly to make him admit defeat and step down.

After dozens of moves passed, Weng Junhao couldn't help but stand still: "How can anyone who hasn't fought for so long, can you compete with me well?" Zhang Zhao, who was walking around him quickly and slashing in the air, apologized when he heard this: "Okay, then I'll start." ”

After saying this, Zhang Zhao's pace quickened, and several sword lights came out from around Weng Junhao's body, Weng Junhao flashed in a wrong step, and several sword lights did not disappear after passing from him, but were put together in a strange posture.

In this brief moment, Zhang Zhao's hand vibrated hundreds of times, and wisps of fine Zhang Zhaoqi flew out one after another, intertwining with the previous few sword lights, forming a strange appearance in the air.

Weng Junhao looked at this and felt a little familiar, Zhang Zhao's hand shook and flipped indisputably, and the fierce wind suddenly whistled, and the sword qi in the air rushed straight towards Weng Junhao.

Weng Junhao straddled two feet and moved away, Zhang Zhao flicked his backhand, and the white sword qi turned around and chased after him. Weng Junhao had to connect the double hooks in his hand, and as soon as he touched it, he felt a strong force coming, and the double hooks couldn't hold it and were wrapped in the white light that kept rolling in front of him.

At first, he was still careless, and the elder of the dragon family didn't expect Zhang Zhao to make such a big noise in the blink of an eye, and his body shook and wanted to push Weng Junhao away. saw Zhang Zhao's wrist flick upward, a knife light flew into the sky, and then the white light disappeared cleanly like a cocoon.

"Dangchang" made two muffled sounds, and the frightened Weng Junhao was startled, and looked down to see that it was his double hook that fell on the stage. The elder of the Long family, who was standing beside him, looked at Zhang Zhao with a calm expression and was secretly surprised, and shouted in his mouth: "Zhang Zhang Zhaosheng." ”

The three sons in the audience didn't see what was going on, and when they saw Weng Junhao picking up the double hook, they got off the stage and complained repeatedly. Weng Junhao also felt depressed in his heart: "If you have the ability, you can go up by yourself, who wouldn't just move your mouth?" ”

Lu Gongzi didn't wait for Zhang Zhao to step down and hurriedly jumped up: "Brother, don't be in a hurry to leave, I see that your cultivation is not weak, it is better for the two of us to learn from each other." Zhang Zhao turned his head and asked, "This elder, can I still compete again if I win a game?"

The elder of the Long family knew the four sons in the audience, and when he saw this situation, he also guessed that they wanted to embarrass Zhang Zhao, and he couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth: "Of course you can, the winner agrees to even compare as many games as he wants, but he must be merciful when he does it." ”

"Fusheng Lou Lu Zhanxiong, three colorful jade dice. Lu Gongzi, who was bent on venting his evil anger, couldn't hear the deep meaning of the old words of the Long family, and when he waited for the audience to finish reporting, he waved his long sword and rushed towards Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao dodged a few times and first touched Lu Gongzi's moves almost perfectly, and in his hands, he didn't fight horizontally and vertically, and hundreds of white lights overlapped and became a square ball in the air. Lu Gongzi's long sword was inserted into it, and he also took it out of his hand.

Waiting for Zhang Zhao to shake away the sword light he emitted, Lu Gongzi, who admitted defeat and stepped down, knew that Weng Junhao didn't complain about losing, but he shook his head regretfully at Duan Cui and the two sons: "It's been a long time since I started my moves." Duan Gongzi jumped onto the stage with a smile after listening: "Look at me." ”

Lingxiao everyone also felt fresh when they saw Zhang Zhao's tricks, Gu Yan recalled the situation of the two games just now, and woke up a little: "Zhang Zhao's trick in the first game is like a wine jug, and the second game is dice." He patted his thigh and smiled: "No wonder he made this and that along the way." It turned out that what was the color head opposite, and Zhang Zhao made up the same thing. ”
