Chapter 196: The Storm Rises

The outer peak of the imperial capital is towering, Hailin Mountain is the first peak of the imperial capital, only ten kilometers away from the outermost steel wall of the imperial capital, under the Hailin Mountain is one of the most important planting areas of the imperial capital: Hailin planting area, and this planting area belongs to a family, that is the first family recognized by the imperial capital, the imperial capital Xiao family.

At an altitude of 2,000 meters above sea level, there is only one building built on the mountain, and its architectural style is somewhat similar to that of ancient palaces, with dense vegetation surrounding this building, and the roar of wild beasts coming out from time to time in the dense forest.

In the courtyard of this palace, an old man in a thin white robe was lying leisurely on a couch, and next to the couch, a young man about eleven or twelve years old was reciting this obscure ancient text.

The boy was obviously not very familiar with the ancient texts, so he would often pause or even make mistakes, and whenever the boy made a mistake, an invisible big hand would gently tap the boy's forehead.

An hour had passed, and a red mark had appeared on the boy's forehead, and it seemed that there was still a long way before the boy had finished reciting the ancient text, and just as the boy was choked with pain in his forehead, a young man of about twenty-seven or eighteen years of age appeared at the arch of the courtyard.

"Third brother!" When the young man saw the young man, he immediately ran in the direction of the arch as if he had seen a savior, while the old man lying on the sleepy side smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I really can't help it. ”

The young man picked up the young man, and took the young man back to the old man's side, and greeted the old man on the sleeping chair: "How is Grandpa?" ”

"Good! I almost didn't get angry with your seventh brother. ”

The old man laughed and cursed, stood up, walked out of the palace after passing through the courtyard, and came to the edge of the cliff to quietly watch the tumbling sea of clouds.

The young man also followed the old man to stand on the edge of the cliff, the wind was howling, and the clothes of the two were blown to a rattle, but they looked at the sea of clouds with a flat expression as if they were standing on the flat ground, as if the sea of clouds contained a natural mystery.

"Zhenhang, why are you here?" The old man looked at the young man and asked kindly.

"Grandpa, the Shushan Ape King has fallen!" The young man who was called Zhenhang by the old man responded with a serious expression.

As soon as the young man's voice fell, the sea of clouds in Hailin Mountain rolled up like a wave, the temperature of Hailin Mountain began to drop sharply, and a little ice crystal began to appear on the surrounding vegetation, and even the young man whose strength had reached the third-order five-star realm had to use the power of the origin to keep out the cold.

The cold wave lasted for nearly ten minutes, but the old man's face was very flat, without any emotional fluctuations, "Haha, I didn't expect that old monkey to fall one step ahead of me, but it's okay, with that monkey's understanding, I can't surpass him in my life." ”

And the young man looked at the old man with a flat expression, but he couldn't help but worry in his heart, "In the past three years, grandpa has always regarded the Shushan Ape King as an opponent, and now that the Shushan Ape King has fallen, I don't know if it will hinder grandpa's future strength improvement." ”

But before the young man could think deeply, the old man's voice sounded again, "Who is the strong man who killed Sun Hong?" ”

Sun Hong is the name that the Shushan Ape King gave himself after his spiritual awakening, and the young man immediately said after hearing this: "I don't know, I only know that the fourth-order Origin Crystal of the Shushan Ape King will be auctioned in Jincheng in ten days." ”

When the old man heard the news, his color instantly turned pale, and he laughed angrily, "Haha, old monkey, I can't imagine that the Origin Crystal after your fall will be auctioned by a species you look down on, it's really a kind of irony for you." ”

"Grandpa, what are your plans?"

After pondering for a moment, the old man said with a sharp gaze: "The energy value of the fourth-order Origin Crystal is not very attractive to us, but the influence of Sun Hong's Origin Realm Burning Stone Fire Ridge is too great, this auction will definitely attract a lot of old guys, and the price will definitely reach an incredible height, this time I Xiao Hongwei is determined to get this Origin Crystal, Zhenyu go, go with me to see the eldest brother." ”

This old man is the powerhouse of the Xiao family in the imperial capital, Xiao Hongwei, the water system source of the fourth-order two-star realm, and the younger brother of Xiao Hongfeng, who is now the first controller of the Xiao family.

The Xiao family is recognized as the first family in the imperial capital, and even the Shen family and the Liaodong royal family who later lived in the imperial capital are weaker and difficult to compete with.

The Xiao family does not have the existence of a strong person on the heavenly list, but the Xiao family has a number of strong people far beyond any SS-level force, and the top ten Xiao families in the Huaxia list occupy three of them, and the ten strongest Yuan Shi of the Xiao family are known as the ten mountain scholars of Hailin Mountain by the outside world.

The head of the Ten Directions Mountain Scholars is naturally Xiao Hongfeng, who ranks third on the land list, and Xiao Hongwei ranks ninth on the land list, and Xiao Zhenxuan, the weakest of the Ten Fang Mountain Scholars, is also a Bright Source of the Third Order Nine Star Realm, which shows how profound the Xiao family's background is.

The Liaodong royal family, which is also a pseudo-SS-level force in the imperial capital, is located in the core area of the imperial capital, in a luxurious villa, Wang Haoda, the second-generation concubine of the Liaodong royal family, is looking at the auction introduction of the fourth-order origin crystal on the reader with great interest, and at this moment he is holding a piece of origin crystal that exudes a faint green glow in his hand.

"It turned out to be the origin crystal of the Shushan Ape King, it seems that I have to go to Jincheng." Wang Haoda's face showed a look of expectation.

And a beautiful woman who had been serving around Wang Haoda asked suspiciously: "Mr. Wang, you are a Wind Origin Scholar, and the gain of the fire energy in the Fire Origin Crystal is far inferior to the Fourth-Order Wind Origin Crystal in your hand." ”

Wang Haoda looked at the inside of the fourth-order wind system origin crystal in his hand, and an origin realm that was far less complex than the Burning Stone Fire Ridge was slowly operating.

"The true value of this Fire System Origin Crystal lies in the Burning Stone Fire Ridge of the Shushan Ape King."

......

On the top of Yueyun Mountain in the core area of the demon capital, the villa of the Xing family has not changed in the past three years, and Xing Kuo, who has a more restrained atmosphere, is reading the information sent by the present dynasty in his study.

Just as Xing Kuo read one of the pieces of news that caught his attention, the door of his study was kicked open heavily, and a strong figure came to Xing Kuo's desk at a very fast speed.

"Xing Kuo, the Shushan Ape King has fallen."

The person who came was Murong Taisong, who was known as the "Demon Capital Dusk Lion" by the outside world, but at this time, Murong Taisong was completely not as old as he was at the Xing family banquet three years ago, with black and shiny hair, ruddy complexion, and strong figure, if it weren't for his slightly old voice, no one would have thought that the sturdy middle-aged man in front of him was the Demon Dusk Lion who was over seventy years old.

Xing Kuo seemed to have long been aware of Murong Taisong's arrival, and only frowned at the Dusk Lion's rough kicking in the door, Xing Kuo said flatly, "What's wrong?" Could it be that General Murong wanted to take a picture of the Origin Crystal of the Shushan Ape King? ”

Xing Kuo's question directly extinguished Murong Taisong's excitement, now it is the construction period of the Demon Buddha Tongdu, and the forces involved in the construction of the Demon Capital no longer have any spare money to participate in this sky-high auction.

"Alas, Xing Kuo, you swept away the old man's interest." In fact, Murong Taisong still had a hint of fantasy about bidding when he saw the fourth-order fire origin crystal, the contemporary genius of the Murong family, Murong Longhui, was a fire origin scholar, and his strength had already reached the third-order six-star realm, and he had already opened a gap with Xu Weisen and others of the same generation, and it could be compared with the super geniuses of the imperial capital and the demon capital.

"Although we don't have the ability to bid, we can go and see it, after all, the Burning Stone Fire Ridge of the Shushan Ape King is really powerful."

After finishing speaking, Xing Kuo used the communicator to contact Wang Long, who was guarding Jingu Mountain, and the demon capital of this world-renowned Jincheng auction would send Wang Long and Murong Longhui, two fire source scholars, to participate.

With the delivery of the invitation to the auction, the big forces in the country have sent Yuanshi to participate, and foreign forces above the SS level have also contacted Kunlun, hoping to get a pass, so that they can come to bid for this piece of fire origin crystal.

A storm that shook the world gradually rose.

And Tang Feng, the owner of this fourth-order fire origin crystal, was resting on the big bed in the most luxurious guest room of the Xia family at the moment, and Yin Yunxuan was in the cloakroom choosing the dress for tonight's dinner.

"Sir, how about this set, I feel like you're going to be handsome in it." Yin Yunxuan excitedly walked in front of Tang Feng with a suit.

Tang Feng waved his hand casually, "Whatever!" ”

Yin Yunxuan looked at Tang Feng's indifferent appearance, and stomped his feet angrily, "Hmph! ”

Next, Tang Feng continued to lie bored on the bed, while Yin Yunxuan tried on clothes alone.

"Sir, what do you think of me wearing this?" A soft voice came from inside the fitting room.

And Tang Feng continued to say with an indifferent attitude: "It's good if you like it!" ”

"Sir, take a look at it first!"

Yin Yunxuan's soft pleading voice suddenly aroused Tang Feng's suspicions, he propped himself up, and then stretched his neck to look at the fitting room, only to see Yin Yunxuan shyly wearing the cheongsam of the hotel waiter last night, the same style, the same color of stockings and high heels.

Tang Feng's face suddenly turned red, and he said with a slight sullenness: "Yin Yunxuan, where did you get this dress?" ”

Yin Yunxuan forcibly held back the smile in her heart, and pretended to be indifferent and said, "I took it away from the hotel today." ”

"Didn't I say I wouldn't let you wear this kind of clothes again?"

"Hmph, it doesn't matter if Mr. anyway, you don't care what I wear to the dinner." Yin Yunxuan said as she prepared to start putting on makeup.

Tang Feng knew that Yin Yunxuan was deliberately angry with himself, but he had nothing to do with Yin Yunxuan, and in the end Tang Feng could only say softly: "Okay, okay, I'm here to try on, you change this cheongsam for me first." ”

"Hee-hee!"

At five o'clock in the afternoon in the imperial capital, the dark night completely covered the earth, the planting area of Xiajiacheng also started the artificial lighting system, the barracks of the guards, the staff residence on the periphery of the Xia family were also lit up, and the Xiajia Castle was even brighter, and the banquet hall located in the center of the castle came out with beautiful music, and the high-level people invited to participate in this private banquet were all high-level people in Jincheng.

Tang Feng and Yin Yunxuan, who were wearing red evening dresses, also walked into the banquet hall under the leadership of the staff, and suddenly the eyes of the audience were focused on these two people.

Xia Zhanlin, Guan Zhonglan and other controllers all stepped forward to say hello, and Tang Feng also responded one by one, he knew that the protagonist of this banquet was himself.

"Mr. Tang and Miss Yin are really talented and beautiful!" The controller of an A-class force said enthusiastically.

Yin Yunxuan's face immediately turned red after hearing this, and Tang Feng was also slightly embarrassed.

Just as everyone was enjoying this luxurious banquet, Tang Feng suddenly felt an evil aura approaching.
