Chapter 60: A Shocking Gamble
Chapter 60: A Shocking Gamble
The much-anticipated competition of the four clans in Liuxian City has finally arrived, and before dawn, the streets are already full of people, men and women, helping the old and the young, like a hundred birds returning to their nests, and they are going in one direction.
Liuxian City, the martial arts field, is located near the city lord's mansion, covers an area of 10,000 meters, in the middle is a kilometer-square circular ring, there are five stands built outside the ring, exclusive to the city lord's mansion and the most powerful four families.
Outside the stands, there are a circle of seats, gradually rising from the inside to the outside, with a good view, at least for more than 100,000 people to watch at the same time. In the entire martial arts arena, there is a tall wall, like a long dragon entrenched, exuding a solemn atmosphere.
At the end of the day, the martial arts arena was already full, and countless people were like a swarm of ants, buzzing, speculating about the outcome of this year's four-clan competition and which dark horses would appear.
"Wang Ba has been at the peak of the fifth layer of the Qi training period for a long time, and I think the champion is none other than him!" A scholar shaking a folding fan asserted.
"This is possible, but Zhao Feiyan of the Zhao family is really a heroine among women, and the women are not allowed to shave their eyebrows, and maybe they have also been promoted to the fifth layer of the Qi training period, and they can compete with the Wang family!"
Several young people next to him hurriedly turned their heads and expressed their opinions, hoping that the lover of their dreams would get ahead, and it seemed that Zhao Feiyan still had a lot of suitors.
"I heard that Li Huairen of the Li family has already been promoted to the fifth layer of the Qi training period, and maybe he may also become the dark horse of this big competition...... "An old man with gray hair also came to join in the fun.
"The Xiang family may be at a disadvantage this time, I haven't heard of anyone who has been promoted to the fifth layer of the Qi cultivation period......" Many people said in unison.
"Alas, if that Xiang Feiyu was really a true dragon more than ten years ago, then now Liuxian City must be the world of the Xiang family!"
"The celestial phenomena at that time were indeed very peculiar, and they shook the entire Liuxian City, but then I didn't know what was going on, and there was an accident."
"I heard a few days ago that Xiang Feiyu seems to have been forced to jump off the Broken Soul Cliff, there must be death or life, and now the Xiang family is really hopeless!"
Dao cultivation is one in ten thousand, if the younger generation of a family does not have a leader, then the family will definitely go downhill, and gradually it will be eaten away by other families, and eventually go to extinction.
Xiang Feiyu once ignited the flame of hope for the family, but it has been completely extinguished and has become the talking point in the mouths of countless people in Liuxian City. He was like a meteor that left a brief sparkle in the sky before falling into the unknowable distance.
"Hurry up and be quiet, there are already people in the five stands."
A child suddenly screamed, and everyone noticed that the City Lord's Mansion and the four major families were already here. There are about 30 people in each stand, all of whom are high-level personnel of their own strength.
On the stands of the City Lord's Mansion, everyone finally saw Sima Xiangru, the city lord who usually saw the head and the end of the dragon, full of heaven, wide and round, thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing a set of golden robes, not angry and self-assured, and had a majesty that had been a superior for a long time.
Beside him, sat a young man who looked eight points similar to him, wearing a white robe with gold trim, his face was full of pride, and he did not say a word, looking a little unfathomable.
However, what is strange is that their father and son did not sit in the center, and the position in the center was occupied by three other people, two men and one woman, and it can be seen that their status is much higher than that of the city lord.
In the stands of the Wang family, in the center sat the patriarch Wang Xiaotian and Wang Ba, as well as seven or eight powerful figures of the Wang family, and behind them were a group of contestants and young talents.
The Li family, the Zhao family, and the Xiang family are all in similar positions, but the Xiang family may have an extra ancestor of the Xiang family because of their weakness, with white hair and wrinkled faces, but no one dares to underestimate him.
It is said that he is a person who stepped into the foundation building realm in half a step, because the exercises that can build the foundation are controlled by the Immortal Sect, so the lack of exercises leads to the inability to be promoted. However, people had to admit that he was talented, and if he hadn't passed the best age for cultivation, he would definitely have been recruited by the Divine Dragon Sect.
At this time, Sima Xiangru stood up and swept the audience in a threatening manner, and all the people immediately closed their mouths, waiting for the city lord's instructions.
"The people of Liuxian City, today we have ushered in the grand meeting of the four clans, you must study modestly and carefully understand, in order to make my Liuxian City martial arts more prosperous! However, I would like to tell you a great news now, today is not only the day of the Great Competition of the Four Clans, but also a great day for the Divine Dragon Sect to come and collect disciples. You're sure to feast your eyes on it and you'll never forget it......"
Sima Xiangru's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears, and it was suddenly like a match, igniting the explosive barrel.
"What? Did I hear me right? The Divine Dragon Sect actually accepted disciples ahead of schedule? ”
"Whatever, as long as you have to see it!"
"Hey, great, it's just amazing, today's game is going to be exciting, even better than in previous years!"
The entire martial arts arena immediately turned into a huge cauldron, boiling water boiling, and the sound was as tight as a burst, and it was about to burst into the air.
"First of all, let me introduce to you the distinguished guests from the Divine Dragon Sect, Fan Ren and Xia Xiaoqian, the immortals of the Dan Period, who are the chief referees of today's game, and are also responsible for the apprenticeship of the Divine Dragon Sect."
Fan Ren, who was sitting in the center, was dressed in a Taoist robe, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and nodded to the public, which was regarded as a greeting; Another woman, only in her twenties, dressed in a white dress, fluttering like a fairy, also smiled at everyone, which was considered a response.
Dao cultivation level one realm one heavy heaven, the immortals in the Dan period are considered to be the mainstay of the Shenlong Sect, their combat power is at least ten times that of the foundation building period, naturally they don't care about the eyes of people's worship, in their eyes, only the ascension to the heavenly realm is the goal they pursue.
"The next thing I want to introduce is Wang Heng, an immortal from the Shenlong Sect in the foundation building period, he will be the referee for today's game, and I would like to invite Wang Heng Immortal to speak." Sima Xiangru nodded at Wang Heng, then sat down silently and gave up the stage to Wang Heng.
Wang Heng stood up, took two steps forward, looked around with great ambition, and then said loudly: "This four-clan competition is different from the point system of previous years, each family selects three people to participate, and the final ranking determines the winner or loser. The four families, the third and fourth took out ten and twenty fang markets respectively to give the first place, and the second place remained unchanged. After the end of the four-clan competition, the winner will compete with Sima Qingyun, and finally I will decide the matter of accepting apprentices. ”
"Wow, that's a big deal! There are 100 stores in a market, and each family only has an average of 100 markets, and the stakes are more than half of those in previous years! ”
"I heard that Wang Hengxian is from the Wang family, this kind of rule is definitely beneficial to the Wang family, it seems that the Xiang family is going to bleed heavily!"
"Be quiet, if you want to die, don't take me with you!"
……
Many people immediately began to sigh, this big competition between the four clans, for them, the small people who ascended to the fight, was by no means tantamount to a shocking gamble, and they couldn't help but be excited.
