Chapter Forty-Six: The Battle for the City Lord

Two days passed quickly, and the five-year battle for the city lord of Snow Peak City officially began.

"Hey, it's really hilarious. In the crowded crowd, Meng Wuxian said that the direction of the flow of people was moving, and he couldn't stop sighing. It is worthy of being a five-year event, and it can attract so many people.

In the center of Snow Peak City, there is a huge statue standing here, and it seems that it should be Zhao Xuefeng, the first city lord of Snow Peak City.

A ring was erected next to the statue, and the audience circled around the entire ring.

Walking into the martial arts arena, Meng Wuxian and the three of them casually found a place and sat down. Although the seats around are already full, it is obvious that the protagonist has not yet arrived.

Looking up, I saw that directly above the ring, there were ten small floating platforms floating out of thin air. The platforms were not supported by anything, they just floated out of thin air.

"Formation. Just when Meng Wuxian was puzzled, he heard Mo Mo's voice in his ears.

"This should be a formation set up by a certain strong man, relying on the power of the formation, the floating board can float out of thin air. ”

Nodding, Meng Wuxian made a slight gesture.

About a quarter of an hour later, there was a sudden arrival of a large number of aura. Shrouded by these powerful forces, Meng Wuxian, who was a little sleepy and had been waiting, instantly cheered up.

At this moment, dozens of figures slowly appeared in the sky, and surprisingly, those people were all coming from the void.

Dozens of people fell on the stone slab floating in the air. With the appearance of these ten people, the scene instantly erupted in an unparalleled burst of cheers.

"Who are these people? Meng Wuxian pulled a martial artist sitting beside him and asked curiously.

"They are the ones who fought for the city lord this time. ”

"Didn't you say that anyone could participate, why are there only these ten people? Meng Wuxian was a little puzzled.

"Little brother, you just came to our Snow Peak City. Seeing that Meng Wuxian didn't know anything, the martial artist also knew something in his heart.

"Yes, we just arrived in Snow Peak City in the past two days. ”

"You're not from Snow Peak City, so it's normal not to know. In each battle for the city lord, the five major families will each send two candidates to participate. Before the official competition, there will be a knockout match, where the five major families join forces to face off against all the players involved in the competition. Martial artists who can stay in the ring after a stick of incense can be promoted; although the strength of the people participating in this competition is not weak, the players sent by the five major families are even stronger. ”

Meng Wuxian nodded, since there were only ten people who came to the competition today, it meant that the other martial artists had all been eliminated. Although Snow Peak City is not a big city, there are still hundreds of thousands of warriors, and the number of participants will not be less than three digits, but in the end, no one persevered, this is the gap between the civilian warriors and the nobles.

With the appearance of the ten contestants, there were also people in the stands above the spectators outside the stadium. These people are all well-known figures in Snow Peak City, they think very highly of themselves, how can they be willing to squeeze together with civilians.

A middle-aged man slowly walked up to the ring, and it seemed that he should be the referee of this competition.

"Everyone has almost arrived, so I announce that the Snow Peak City City Lord Tournament is now underway. ”

"We will then draw lots to determine the opponents of the 10 players and the order in which they will play. ”

As he spoke, the referee took out a box from the storage container and placed it in the center of the ring. "Now I would like to invite all the contestants to draw a lottery. ”

The figures of the ten people slowly floated down from the floating platform. Without the shelter of the floating platform, everyone saw the appearance of these ten people clearly. Seven men and three women, and all appear to be over forty years old.

"Isn't there an age limit for this competition?" Meng Wuxian saw that the participants were all quite old guys, a little strange.

"They are choosing the city lord, how can they limit the age. Jun Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and said.

"......" Meng Wuxian scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassed.

"Okay, the draw is over. Now the No. 1 and No. 2 players are invited to play, and the rest of the people are temporarily retired outside the ring. ”

"Who are the people in the ring? Meng Wuxian said to the native of Snow Peak City.

"The one on the left is an elder of the Luo family, and I don't know the specifics. However, the one on the right is the Great Elder of the Hong Family, whose strength has already reached the peak of Yuan Hai, and he may have broken through to the Yuan Dan realm. That person's personality is also very good, even in the face of Meng Wuxian's repeated inquiries, he did not show a trace of impatience.

Nodding, Meng Wuxian probably guessed the result of this game. The elder of the Na Luo family does not seem to be famous, on the contrary, the great elder of the Hong family is prestigious, although it is decisive to judge which is stronger and which is weaker based on this alone, but it is not unreasonable.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the game, the elder of the Na Luo family was obviously weaker in momentum. When fighting, he can only resist the opponent's offensive, and there is no chance to counterattack.

In just a moment of incense, the elder of the Naluo family was defeated.

"The time that Yuan Hai was able to hold a stick of incense in my hand in the early days, you are proud enough. The Great Elder of the Hong Family stroked his beard with a smug expression.

"Old thing, it's just that I've been cultivating for a few more years because I'm older, if you and I are the same age, I won't lose to you. "The elder of the Naluo family is unwilling.

"Weak people always like to hide their vulnerability. With a disdainful snort, the Great Elder of the Hong Family turned his back and swept onto the floating platform.

"Here is the next group of contestants, they are Hongjia Hongchen and Mujia Xylophone. ”

As soon as the match is over, the referee immediately prepares to start the next match.

"Hong Chen is the younger brother of the head of the Hong family, his strength is in the late stage of Yuanhai, and the wood qin is the punishment elder of the Mu family, and his strength is the peak of Yuanhai. However, it is reported that the Mu family had a strong fluctuation of Yuan Force a few days ago, so everyone suspected that the vision was caused by the xylophone breaking through the Yuan Dan Realm. This time, before Meng Wuxian could ask, the person sitting next to Meng Wuxian spoke.

"This brother actually knows the information of so many powerhouses of the major families, I'm afraid he is not an ordinary person. Meng Wuxian had a hint of playfulness on his face, the guy in front of him was definitely not as simple as it seemed. "Can you tell me your name. ”

"A name is just a codename, and even if I tell you my name, I'm just a passer-by to you. Maybe one day you will remember that you met me today, but all you can remember is the one sentence that made the most impression on you. Rather than wasting saliva and telling you your name, it's better not to say it. ”

"......" Meng Wuxian was speechless for a while, since you even think it's a waste of saliva to tell others your name, why are you still talking here endlessly?

"Watch the game with peace of mind. I don't know if it was because of Meng Wuxian and the two of them quarreling or what, Mo Mo's face was a little ugly, and he scolded Meng Wuxian softly.

"Your friend seems to be angry. Seeing Mo Mo's appearance, the man whispered to Meng Wuxian.

"No, she's like this, always with a cold face. Meng Wuxian waved his hand and said indifferently.
