"Senior Brother Night, don't tell me that you haven't even seen Princess Cicada. The bull dragon on the other side also frowned slightly.

Ye Xingchen smiled dryly, and couldn't answer for a while, rightly, he really hadn't seen it......

"You haven't even seen the princess of cicada, why do you still want to participate in the martial arts competition?" Tang Taixuan asked again.

Night Xingchen scratched his head in embarrassment, "Probably curious...... It is said that Princess Cicada is a rare genius in the empire for a hundred years, and she wants to meet her. ”

"Curious?" The three of them were stunned at the same time, while Long Kun's tone gradually became slightly cold: "So you have no intention of competing for the cicada-clothed princess at all?"

"I can't say no, everyone says that she is a genius, and I am naturally more interested in genius. Night Star said.

Tang Taixuan shook his head and said coldly: "Since you have no intention of competing, let's leave, you can only waste your qualifications to compete, do you know how much effort it took Senior Brother Niu Long to get your place?"

Hearing this, Ye Xingchen couldn't help but be a little stunned, and at this moment, Niu Long on the side hurriedly found out and patted Tang Taixuan's shoulder and said, "Senior Brother Tang, forget it." Senior Brother Night may have heard that the name of Princess Cicada Yi has been wanting to see her heroism for many years, maybe just hearing this has already admired her. ”

Seeing Niu Long speak, he naturally didn't dare to say anything more, just glared at Ye Xingchen fiercely and then turned his head and continued to hurry.

Long Kun on the other side also frowned obviously, for these people, the limit of only a hundred contestants was too harsh, and now it was really a little unhappy to be mixed up by a person who had never seen the cicada-clothed princess at all, after all, in a sense, he was the same person as those admirers of the cicada-clothed princess.

After the two of them turned their eyes, Niu Long couldn't help but lower his voice and said: "I said Senior Brother Ye, you haven't seen anyone participate in any martial arts competition, it's not me Lao Niu who said that if you say something like this, if those who don't get the quota know that the father and mother who are designated to be beaten don't know it!"

Hearing this, Ye Xingchen panicked in his heart, thinking that it would take a lot of effort to get this place, after all, it was the princess of the cicada, who could resist the temptation of the imperial horse? And the so-called number of participants is only a hundred, and the total number of people who really want to participate is probably more than a hundred times.

Thinking of this, he hugged Niu Long with an extremely serious face and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Niu, I will write down this love for Senior Brother first, and I will do my best in the future." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, remember, it's not allowed to talk nonsense when you get to the imperial city, don't say senior brother and me when the time comes, even those top geniuses who are among the top in the younger generation of the empire may not be able to keep you." ”

Niu Long reminded him kindly, as for what he said, he didn't take it to heart at all, and he didn't look down on Ye Xingchen, but he was such a person, he could help as much as he could, no matter who the other party was, he would not change his good feelings, unless he insulted the head of the Sword Star God Pavilion, he would really touch his bottom line.

Ye Xingchen nodded, he was almost driven away by those two when he spoke before, if he said it in the imperial city, even if there was a world-destroying god flame, he would probably be stripped of a layer of skin......

Of course, these two people didn't have a good impression in his eyes, so they didn't have a good impression of this senior brother Niu, no matter how they said it, they all looked like senior brothers.

.......................................

Half a day later, the night is late, and under the full moon is the bustling imperial city, with shops lining the streets and passing crowds like long queues.

As the capital of the Empire, the prosperity of the Imperial City is far beyond the imagination of the night stars, even at night the streets are crowded with people, and the constant shouting and colorful lights can make people's eyes shine.

Before that, Ye Xingchen had only been to Beiliang City, which was ten miles away from the Sword Star Divine Pavilion, but this Beiliang City was obviously a small thing compared to the Imperial City, not to mention anything else, in terms of population alone, it was more than three times that of Beiliang City.

The streets were bustling with activity, and the people were basically grinning and laughing, maintaining their eternal joy. The imperial city is like this, there are millions of royal forest troops in the imperial capital, and no one dares to make a mistake, which is the blessing of the people. If it is replaced by other large and small cities in the empire, there are either countless corrupt officials or bandits, compared with those big cities and small cities, the city lord of Beiliang City who loves the people like a son is quite good.

Of course, the Imperial City is even better. Bandits can go to small cities to bully the people, and corrupt officials can go to big cities to eat, drink, and be greedy for profit, but who would dare to do these things in the imperial city? There is no doubt that the imperial city is the safest city in the empire, and there is no doubt about this.

The millions of Imperial Forest Army are as brave and warlike as the Golden Iron Cavalry, and the neighboring countries are all terrified when they hear the name of the Sword Peak Imperial Forest Army, which is the embodiment of a strong country, and it is also the embodiment of the absolute power of the royal family.

After coming to the Imperial City, the four of them did not immediately throw their hands to play the four seas, but found a relatively ordinary inn, although it was ordinary, it was definitely high-end in the eyes of Ye Xingchen, after all, he had not been out of Fancheng for so many years, and even the residence hall of the Sword Pavilion was a tall residence in his eyes.

The name of the inn is also domineering, Taiping Inn! Just listening to this name is not a simple place, who knows that it can't even be ranked in front of thousands of inns in the imperial city, which is completely in the expectation of the night stars.

Walking into the Taiping Inn, everything in front of you is so luxurious, with wood incense, wine and meat dining table, and a three-story attic, which is simply incomparable compared to the inn in Fancheng.

found the shopkeeper and opened four luxurious rooms, and Ye Xingchen did not hesitate to take out 40 million crystals to pay for everyone. This scene made the three of them look at him quite strangely, and they didn't expect this guy to have the demeanor of a rich boy, and 10 million crystals a night is not cheap.

For his actions, except for Niu Long, who said a few words gratefully, the others just nodded at him slightly, of course, they naturally didn't care about these night stars.

Now he can be regarded as one of the richest people in the entire Sword Peak Empire, but he just wants to live a low-key life.

Half an hour later, Night Star came to the room he bought, and when he stepped into the door, there was a fresh fragrance coming to his nose, no matter what, the ten million flowers were worth it.

Look at the luxurious decoration and soft-touch bed, even the chairs placed everywhere are made of jade wood, at first glance, he feels that it is definitely not comparable to those ordinary inns, and it is worthy of the Imperial City Inn, it is worthy of the name of this Taiping Inn, and it is also worth the 10 million crystal energy.

Lying on the soft bed, I suddenly felt refreshed, and there was an indescribable feeling that poured into my heart, and the room had a bed, but it seemed that something was missing......

"Isn't it a woman?" Haoyue's sneer came from his mind.

Ye Xingchen's old face turned red with a 'brush', and forcibly changed the topic: "Haoyue, do you say that those top celestials in the empire will participate in this martial arts competition?"

Haoyue didn't bother to compete with him, so she said coldly: "Don't you know if you go and ask the person surnamed Niu yourself?"

Hearing this, Ye Xingchen couldn't help but pat his thigh, "Yes, what you said makes sense, I'll go find Senior Brother Niu!"

The words fell, and before Haoyue could say anything, he got out of bed and staggered towards the door.

Bang bang bang!

"Senior Brother Niu, I'm Night Star, can I come in and ask you a few things?"

"It's Senior Brother Night, come in. ”

Night Xingchen slowly pushed open the door, he didn't expect that Senior Brother Bald Niu was still sitting and cultivating at such a late hour, he really deserved to be the third disciple of the Divine Pavilion, and the hard work of cultivation was far beyond his reach.

There is a saying that "I am bald, but I am also strong", which probably refers to him.

"Sit down, senior brother hasn't found a chance to thank you yet. ”

"No, I owe you more than that. Night Xingchen hurriedly waved his hand.

He naturally knew that he had worked hard to get this place, and just by looking at Tang Taixuan's expression, he could see that this affection was obviously not something that could be offset by just 10 million crystals.

After half a ring, he suddenly asked, "Speaking of Senior Brother Niu, do you know which of the top talents among the younger generation of the empire will participate in this martial arts competition?"

"I don't know exactly, but one of them does, and you've probably heard of his name. Niu Long said.

Hearing this, Ye Xingchen couldn't help but prick up his ears and listen carefully, his name was so big that he, who had just come to the Sword Star Divine Pavilion for less than half a year, knew that it was not a simple thing.

I only heard Niu Long say slowly: "His name is Xing Hankong, the young sect master of the Dead Sword God Sect, and even my senior brother has to be afraid of the character." ”

Starry sky!

As soon as these three words entered his ears, Night Xingchen's complexion subconsciously changed, like Qing Yuan, Lu Changqing and others, this young sect master of the Dead Sword God Sect was also one of the top geniuses among the younger generation of the empire, ranking fifth, it could be said that except for the geniuses cultivated by the four top forces, none of them were his opponents.

It is said that this guy's methods are extremely cruel, and last time I heard Lao Wei say that the two Qiankun Realm elders of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts died under his hands, this person is by no means mediocre, on the contrary, he also has the strength to make himself pay attention.

Can he rank fifth among the younger generation of the empire, and he is still the young sect master of the Dead Sword God Sect, how weak can he be? As Niu Long said, the senior brother of the Sword Star Divine Pavilion, Han Wei, is strictly speaking, even weaker than him.

Of course, the reason for this is naturally because he fell in love and couldn't extricate himself, and he had a crush on Gu Qinlan for several years to no avail, so that the anti-heaven talent that was enough to break into the top five of the younger generation of the empire was buried.

His life is destined to be sad, and sometimes geniuses are not necessarily tortured to death by fate, but by themselves to the point of giving up everything and finally burying the talent he originally had.

Obviously, he falls into the latter category.
