On the left, a few dozen meters away from the banquet hall, there is a room with an open door.

In this room, in addition to the bearded old man who led the way for Du Yun and Han Dao before, there was also a middle-aged man wearing a purple and black robe, who was not angry but threatening.

At this moment, in the air in front of their eyes, a picture was emerging, and it was the scene in the banquet hall.

"Liu Fan, can you find out the identity of this person?"

The middle-aged man withdrew his gaze from the screen, looked at the old man, and asked.

The real identity of the bearded old man named Liu Fan is the chief steward of the City Lord's Mansion, and the middle-aged man is the city lord of this Qingyun City, Xie Donghong, an early monk of the Law Phase Realm.

When he heard Xie Donghong's inquiry, Liu Fan hurriedly replied: "My lord, according to the investigation of the old slave during this time, there is no useful information except that they came back with the sons of the two former heads of the Chen family. ”

"However, in the opinion of the old slave, these two people can hide their identities so deeply, they are definitely not human, maybe they are from some big force."

"How so?"

Xie Donghong frowned and said with interest.

"This ...... It's just the speculation of the old slave. ”

"Well, whether it's true or speculation."

Without waiting for Liu Fan to continue to explain, Xie Donghong had already stood up from his chair and said, "Since this young man named Du Yun can hide his own strength so that even I can't see it, and there is also a strong person in the Law Realm to protect him, it is indeed worth seeing me in person." ”

"Let's go, I don't want the peace of Qingyun City to be broken by them like this!"

With that, he swept away the image in mid-air, raised his feet and walked out of the room.

Liu Fan followed closely.

……

In the banquet hall, because of an awkward toast by Yun Yue, the head of the Yun family, after he sat down again, the atmosphere in the entire hall became depressed and tense again.

Everyone had different expressions, and they didn't know what was going on in their hearts.

But at this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly came in from outside: "Xie just had something to deal with, and he came late, and I hope that the head of the family, Haihan." ”

"I've seen City Lord Xie!"

"I've seen City Lord Xie!"

……

As soon as they saw the arrival, more than a dozen people present breathed a sigh of relief and stood up and hugged their fists to say hello.

During this period, Du Yun and Han Dao only symbolically stood up and saluted back, and then sat down again.

Xie Donghong, who arrived, saw this scene in his eyes, and was not angry, and only after he sat down, did he wave his hand to let Yun Yue and other family heads who were still standing in the hall sit down.

And Liu Fan is standing by Xie Donghong's side.

As he clapped his hands, the maids of the City Lord's Mansion who had already prepared outside walked in one by one with the food, placing the food on the table in front of everyone.

Xie Donghong said with a smile on his face: "Today is the gift of my little girl's full moon, thanks to the busy family heads to come to my city lord's mansion, Donghong is grateful, do it first." ”

After speaking, he picked up the wine glass that was already full of wine on the table in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

Below, Yun Yue and more than a dozen other family heads faced Xie Donghong, who had a Law Phase Realm cultivation, but they were still counting on the other party's help, how dare they put on a score, and they all returned the favor.

"The lord of the city is polite."

"It's an honor for me to be able to participate in the celebration of the little girl of the city lord."

……

After everyone had drunk, in order to liven up the atmosphere, Xie Donghong directly announced the start of the banquet.

As the songs and dances appeared, the hall suddenly became lively, and the heads of the houses temporarily abandoned their worries and talked to each other while enjoying the food.

Taking advantage of this atmosphere, Xie Donghong got up from his chair and walked towards Du Yun and Han Dao.

"The banquet was shabby, which made the two of them laugh."

"The lord of the city is too modest."

Seeing Xie Donghong sitting down directly in front of him, Du Yun was not silent this time, shook his head and said, "If it weren't for my subordinates sending me the invitation letter from the city lord, I wouldn't have come." ”

"After all, time is precious, there is nothing important, and I will often retreat and meditate."

was answered so rudely by a junior, Xie Donghong looked very embarrassed.

But he had already seen that the young man with an extraordinary background in front of him did not deliberately lose face, but had such a personality, and nodded in agreement.

"Little brother is right, cultivation is the most important. And if I'm not mistaken, the little brother is working so hard to prepare for the Imperial All-Space Race in three years, right? ”

The Imperial All-Space Race?

Now it was Du Yun's turn to be puzzled.

He frowned and said, "My name is Du Yun, and City Lord Xie can call me by name directly; I haven't heard of this all-universe race, can City Lord Xie elaborate on it for me? ”

"Huh? You don't know? ”

Xie Donghong was surprised for a while, but as if he had thought of something, he suddenly realized: "I think it must be that your seniors are afraid of affecting your cultivation, so they deliberately hid this matter temporarily. ”

"Of course, with Brother Du Yun's talent, even if he knew it in advance, it wouldn't have any effect. In that case, brother, I'll tell you about this Quanyu Competition. ”

Immediately, he began to elaborate.

In the hall, although there were singing and dancing at the moment, and the piano music was wandering, it did not affect the hearing of Yun Yue and the other family heads present.

When they heard Xie Donghong and Du Yun talking, these people also pricked up their ears and listened, and they were also very interested in the Imperial Universe Race mentioned by the city lord.

The Imperial All-Universe Competition, whose full name is the Universe-wide Genius Contest under the control of the Yuntian Empire, must be limited to the Jindan Realm and must be under the age of one hundred and fifty.

At the beginning of the competition, the top 10 were determined by the planets. Then the top ten represent the strongest geniuses on the planet to participate in the prefecture competition, and then select the top ten of the strongest prefecture district.

After the four domains have selected the strongest thirty genius monks in the domain, they will represent the four regions to participate in the final battle in the star field of the empire.

Because the rewards of this competition are extremely rich, the Jindan monks who can get the top 100 in the empire can be accepted as apprentices by some powers, and they can also serve in the empire.

But it's not these that really attract people, it's the rewards of the top ten in the empire.

It is rumored that there will be immortals who will come forward and personally select apprentices from the top ten in the empire and teach them carefully, and they will have the opportunity to become personal disciples.

Just ask who is not excited when they hear the news.

If you can be accepted as an apprentice by the immortals, it will be a complete step to the sky!

Therefore, many young monks who were originally stuck in the ninth turn of Jindan gave up their breakthroughs for the sake of this Imperial All-Universe Competition, suppressed their cultivation and continuously squeezed their potential.

Yun Yue and the other family heads didn't expect to come to a city lord's banquet to get such important news.

Some of the heads of the family even trembled violently because of their excitement.

But then when I thought about it, these people suddenly collapsed again, and their faces were full of bitterness and loneliness.
