In the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion in the Ancient City of Longjiang, the dragon horned rhinoceros who was driven here by Zhu Longkong and others using the Imperial Beast Order had fallen asleep again.

Its huge body was like a mountain of meat, which surprised Ye Ye, who had just come to the backyard.

After Zhu Longkong saw Ye Ye's arrival, he immediately stepped forward and handed over the Imperial Beast Order directly to Ye Ye, and said to Ye Ye in a solemn tone: "What we promised you has been done, and now is the time for you to fulfill your promise!"

Ye Ye smiled lightly after receiving the Imperial Beast Order, and then formally ordered Shangguan Yu and Yu Xiali and the others behind him: "Pass on my order to pardon the Zhu family and the Chongyun Sect and other forces! ”

"Yes!"

Shangguan Yu and Yu Xiali and the others immediately replied respectfully to Ye Ye, and then left the City Lord's Mansion with Zhu Longkong and the others.

As for the four major families who had obeyed Ye Ye's order to arrest Zhu Longkong and others, they had already stopped their actions against Zhu Longkong and others after they officially tore their faces with Ye Ye. In the future, even if the two sides reconcile, the four major families will no longer dare to hunt down Zhu Longkong and others in the name of Ye Ye.

However, the four major families and Zhu Longkong and the others already had a deep blood feud, even without Ye Ye's order, it would be difficult for them to coexist peacefully in the ancient city of Longjiang. Once the two sides are caught in endless infighting, Ye Ye's City Lord's Mansion can easily reap the benefits of the fisherman, which is the result that Ye Ye wants to see the most.

However, before Ma Zhuo officially joined the Mohai Alliance, the fate of the four major families was still uncertain, so Ye Ye didn't bother to think about such a long-term thing.

After Zhu Longkong and the others left, he walked directly in front of the dragon horn rhino and began to carefully look at the demon beast dragon horn rhinoceros, which was extremely valued by Ma Zhuo.

In the Ten Thousand Souls Continent, it is already commonplace for the strong to subdue demon beasts as mounts. However, the number of dragon horned rhinos is scarce, and the temperament is extremely violent before being subdued, this is the first time Ye Ye has seen someone successfully adopt the dragon horn rhinoceros as a mount.

Although the dragon horn rhino looked like it was just an ordinary martial king realm demon beast, because the legend said that the dragon horn rhino had a trace of true dragon blood in its body, Ye Ye had never regarded the dragon horn rhino as an ordinary demon beast. Especially after confirming Ma Zhuo's attention to the dragon horned rhinoceros, he became more interested in the dragon horned rhinoceros, a demon beast.

However, after Ye Ye circled the dragon horn rhinoceros several times, he still didn't know anything about the wonders of the dragon horn rhinoceros. When the sun set the next day, Ye Ye, who had spent a whole day studying the dragon horn rhinoceros, finally chose to give up, deciding to wait for the opportunity to continue exploring the secrets of the true dragon bloodline in the future.

The night before the martial arts conference, Ye Ye did not enter the cultivation state as usual, but carefully looked through the files on the table in his study, checking the various processes of tomorrow's martial arts conference and the information of some players who signed up for the martial arts conference.

Just as he was contemplating and thinking, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open, and he saw Shangguan Yu coming to Ye Ye with a cup of tea in his hand, silently taking care of Ye Ye's diet and daily life like a maid.

In fact, since they came to Longjiang Ancient City, Shangguan Yu has always cared about Ye Ye very much, far more than a subordinate cares about his superiors. Of course, Ye Ye was not stupid, but after thinking about it, he guessed Shangguan Yu's intentions. It's just that Ye Ye has been busy preparing for the martial arts conference and dealing with Ma Zhuo and others, and he has no time to deal with emotional problems, so he has been delayed until now.

At this time, seeing Shangguan Yu taking care of himself again with hard work, Ye Ye finally stopped the official business in his hand, turned to Shangguan Yu and said seriously: "Shangguan, in the future, just leave these little things to others to do." It's better for you to focus your time and energy on your own cultivation, after all, the ancient city of Longjiang is currently the time to employ people, and I can be more relaxed with one more Martial King powerhouse!"

When Shangguan Yu heard Ye Ye's words, he suddenly seemed to be frozen, and a trace of imperceptible loss flashed in his eyes.

But she immediately returned to normal, raised her head and smiled at Ye Yewan'er: "I understand, City Lord! In the future, I will focus all my energy on cultivation, and strive to be promoted to the Martial King realm as soon as possible to share the worries of the City Lord!"

Although she looked the same as usual, Shangguan Yu felt as if she had lost her goal, and her whole person was no longer as energetic as before.

Although Ye Ye's words just now were very reasonable, Shangguan Yu didn't think that he would be able to advance to the realm of the Martial King in a short period of time. At this time, Ye Ye asked her to focus on cultivation, most likely because she didn't want to see her every day anymore, so Shangguan Yu was inevitably disappointed in her heart.

She regarded Ye Ye's statement as a polite refusal, and it was impossible for Shangguan Yu, who was lonely by nature, to make a dead face to Ye Ye. The relationship between the two has not yet begun, and it is about to end completely, and it cannot be said that it is not regrettable.

However, after Ye Ye felt the loss in Shangguan Yu's expression, he guessed that she had misunderstood what she meant, so he hurriedly added to Shangguan Yu: "Although it is difficult to advance to the realm of the Martial King, your accumulation is enough, if there is this Dou Erdan to help, it should not be long before you can officially step into the realm of the Martial King." ”

While speaking, Ye Ye handed the Du Erdan that he had already exchanged from the system to Shangguan Yu, and his tone was full of affirmation.

"This..."

Shangguan Yu's expression was sluggish after receiving Erdan, and then he had an urge to cry with joy. She hurriedly suppressed her emotions and asked cautiously at Ye Ye, "Isn't Du Erdan a prize for the champion of this martial arts conference?

Although she didn't know where Ye Ye got this legendary elixir, she knew very well that Ye Ye attached great importance to this martial arts conference, so after receiving the Du Erdan handed by Ye Ye, Shangguan Yu's face was still full of uncertain expressions.

However, Ye Ye smiled and asked her to accept the pill, and explained to Shangguan Yu in a relaxed tone: "Don't worry, I still have a Du Erdan in my hand, which will not affect tomorrow's martial arts conference!"

Because the balance in Ye Ye's system was sufficient, when he exchanged pills and divine weapons for the Martial Arts Conference, he specially exchanged a Du Erdan for Shangguan Yu. Although Du Erdan, who can increase the probability of breaking through the Martial King, is worth a lot of money, because Ye Ye sold the two-headed flying Jiao's Neidan in the Yan family last time and obtained an income of 50 million golden tickets, these expenses are only of little significance to him.

In order to allow the masters in the City Lord's Mansion to improve their cultivation as soon as possible, Ye Ye even continued to exchange a large number of Jingyuan Pills, preparing to reward them to meritorious officials for them to advance quickly. Ye Ye believed that under his cultivation at any cost, the masters of the City Lord's Mansion would grow up at a terrifying speed, and even if he was not in charge in the future, he would be able to easily suppress the entire Longjiang Ancient City.

"Hmm!"

In the study, Shangguan Yu did not hesitate in his heart after hearing Ye Ye's words, and nodded at Ye Ye with joy on his face.

Then she carefully put away Du Erdan, turned around and left Ye Ye's study to start preparing for the promotion to the Martial King realm.

Ye Ye looked at the back of the other party and smiled lightly, and did not continue to think about the relationship between the two in the future, and once again focused on tomorrow's martial arts conference.

The next day, the square of the Lord's Mansion in the ancient city of Longjiang was crowded! Whether it was the contestants who had signed up for this martial arts tournament or the ordinary monks who had gathered in the square to watch the battle, they had already arrived from all directions early in the morning, almost encircling the entire square.

Even if Zong Zhengming had already rushed to the ancient city of Longjiang and assisted Ye Ye and the others in maintaining order in the square of the City Lord's Mansion, they still had a lot of effort to quiet the people in the square. Afterwards, the contestants who participated in the meeting walked to the bottom of the high platform in the center of the square and waited, while the monks who watched the battle retreated far to the edge of the square, leaving a wide passage for the masters of the City Lord's Mansion who maintained order.

Ye Ye and Zong Zhengming sat on a row of seats in the north of the square, and next to them were Ma Zhuo and the masters of the four major families. It's just that among these people, only Ma Zhuo is qualified to sit with Ye Ye and the others, Xiao Ling and the others stood silently behind Ma Zhuo from beginning to end, like a group of prisoners waiting for the verdict, their faces were full of nervousness and apprehension.

When the time finally came to noon, Zong Zhengming flew directly to the high platform in the center of the square under Ye Ye's signal, and announced the basic process and competition rules of the martial arts conference to everyone present. After all the preparations were completed, Zong Zhengming announced the official start of the martial arts conference on behalf of Ye Ye, and the contestants who signed up for the conference took the stage in turn to start the competition!

This martial arts conference adopted the method of catching and contrasting martial arts in pairs, and the entire conference was carried out in an orderly manner under the auspices of Zong Zhengming. Ye Ye and Ma Zhuo in the seat did not speak, and they seemed to be making final preparations for the competition between the two after the conference.

On the high platform in the center of the square, a pair of players competed on the stage. The winners cheered loudly, and the losers were kicked out of the ring, which made the atmosphere of the whole martial arts tournament gradually better, and the performance of the players was repeatedly amazing.

Even if Ye Ye was just sitting below, he couldn't help but feel that the blood in his body was gradually boiling, and his satisfaction with this martial arts conference exceeded expectations. While carefully watching the players of the two sides on the high platform, he silently noted down some young heroes who performed well, and planned to recruit them as soon as the conference was over, so as to leave outstanding talents for the City Lord's Mansion as much as possible.

Originally, Ye Ye's purpose in holding this martial arts conference was to recruit masters for the Longjiang Ancient City and improve the comprehensive strength of the entire Longjiang Ancient City, but now it seems that the effect of this martial arts conference is better than he imagined. Ye Ye believed that even if the martial arts conference ended, its influence would continue to ferment in the Linhai area, spreading the reputation of the Longjiang Ancient City while continuing to attract a large number of masters to the Longjiang Ancient City.
