Chapter 22: The Domineering Northern Shadow
Under the lofty expectations of countless people, this year's battle for the princes' orders has finally arrived as scheduled.
When the sky just showed a hint of fish belly white, the entire Longyan County was in an uproar, and as the host city of the battle for the princes' orders, the royal city was even more crowded and lively.
On the street, there was a surge of people, which could be described as overcrowded, and countless forces gathered towards the royal city, and, looking at the trend, there were many people rushing towards the royal city.
If it weren't for the royal family dispatching ironclad soldiers to maintain order, I'm afraid that the battle for the princes' order has not yet been officially held, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of disputes or struggles because of the large flow of people.
After all, as a large city ranked in the top ten among the thirty-six counties of Ziyun, Longyan County has countless internal forces, and there is naturally some friction between each force.
Outside the General's Mansion, at this moment, there is already an extremely luxurious and wide carriage, waiting here.
Duan Tianya took the Duan family and the other high-level officials and walked out of the Great General's Mansion.
"Let's go!"
Duan Tianya gave an order, and the Duan family's team slowly set out.
"Dad, I heard that in this year's battle for the princes' orders, even the three sects and one valley have sent people and horses, this shouldn't be!"
In the middle of the carriage, Duan Qingling tilted his little head and said coquettishly to Duan Tianya.
Although the battle for the princes' orders once every three years attaches great importance to the many forces of Longyan County, it is not so important to the three sects and one valley as the four transcendent forces.
After all, the battle for the Princes' Order was a contest for a hundred princes.
"Hehe!" Duan Tianya sneered and said, "That's not because of Beiyouhou!"
"Ten days ago, Beiyouhou sent people to post the imperial list at the gate of the royal city, announcing it to the world, and vigorously publicizing this year's battle for the princes' orders!"
"And send out invitations, inviting three sects and one valley and other big forces to come and observe!"
"Emperor List?" Duan Qinglime's face changed, and he said, "Isn't the Emperor List only known to kings?"
On the side, Duan Chen laughed strangely: "This still needs to be asked, Bei Youhou will definitely start his long-planned grand cause on top of this year's battle for the princes' orders!"
Duan Qinglime opened his mouth wide and said in surprise: "Could it be... Bei Youhou wants to win the throne in one fell swoop, but can't you?"
Although Beiyouhou has been attracting forces over the years, Taoguang has been obscure, but, after all, the Longyan royal family has been standing in this Longyan County for hundreds of years, and its heritage and prestige are naturally not to be underestimated.
"If it was before, Beiyouhou was like this, naturally it would be difficult, but not long ago, Wang Shang's strength plummeted because he was in a hurry to cultivate, and in addition, a few days ago, my father was extremely seriously injured, so do you think Beiyouhou wants to take the throne, there are still difficulties?" Duan Chen said with a smile.
Over the years, the strength of the Northern Youhou and the king has been at a parity, but right now, Duan Tianya and the king have been seriously injured, so in this Longyan County, which other forces can compete with the Northern Youhou.
Of course, Duan Tianya's injuries had recovered as before, but very few people knew about it.
As Duan Tianya and the three of them talked, the carriage finally slowly drove into the palace.
Duan Tianya took Duan Chen, Duan Lime, and the other high-ranking officials of the Duan family to the place where the battle for the princes' order was held, the Martial Arts Square.
Martial Arts Square, speaking of which, is a forbidden place, and on weekdays, no one is generally allowed to set foot here.
This is the place where every battle for the Princes' Order is held, and if it weren't for this day, it would have been closed all along.
Wudou Square, covering an extremely large area, at a glance, people's vision is not able to capture all of them, so it can be seen how big this place is.
However, at this moment, it is overcrowded, and there are countless heads, and the crowd on the third floor and the outer three floors crowd this area to the fullest.
In the central area of this square, a number of seats have been built, including seats for participants, VIPs, judges, and judges.
Of course, people who do not have profound strength or deep background will naturally not be able to sit on these seats.
"Dad, then let's go!Don't worry, today, the child will definitely raise your face for you!" Duan Chen smiled and squeezed his eyes at Duan Tianya, signaling that there was no need to worry.
Duan Tianya didn't speak, as if he was haunted by something, but nodded with relief.
After greeting Duan Tianya, Duan Chen took Duan Lime, a little girl, to the area of the competition seat and sat down.
"Brother, look, isn't that Duan Chen? He even dared to come to participate in the battle for the princes' orders! He cultivates and cultivates, and he becomes a fool?"
In the area of the contestant seat, on the side of a seat, Feng Linghao saw that all the high-level figures of the Duan family were present, but he was stunned and couldn't help muttering.
Now in the entire Longyan County, almost everyone understands that today, the Northern Youhou will raise troops to rebel, so that those forces that oppose the Northern Youhou will inevitably suffer a blow, and the royal family and the Duan family will bear the brunt!
But right now, Duan Chen was sitting on a seat with the old god there, laughing and talking with Duan Lime, looking at the breezy appearance, as if he was not nervous because of this.
"Hehe, that's because they don't know how strong Bei Youhou really is at all!" On the side, Feng Lingtian sneered.
Now he has become a wasted person, because, on top of the previous year-end assessment, he was deprived of an arm by Duan Chen, and afterwards, he was even more tragic to find that the spiritual sea in his body was shocked by Duan Chen's strange spiritual skills, and a small hole was broken, so that he could not condense the spiritual energy, and he could not continue to cultivate.
The spiritual sea is the foundation of a spiritual cultivator, and if it is destroyed by others, it will no longer be able to become a cultivator.
"No matter how strong your combat power is, if you want to beat him, hehe, it's just whimsical, idiot!"
At this moment, Feng Lingtian's face was hideous, like a fierce beast.
The "he" in Feng Lingtian's mouth is a young man named Fenghua.
And this person is the third brother of Feng Lingtian and Feng Linghao, but this person is not Feng Chentian's biological son.
In the cold winter season of a certain year, Feng Chentian had just rushed back to the royal city from other places, and in a remote temple in the royal city, this person was found.
In the temple, there were more than a dozen dirty little boys, and at that time, they were fighting over a hot steamed bun, but only one child did not make a move, but chose to watch from the sidelines.
Soon, the struggle between a dozen boys ended, and the little boy who stood out was an obese boy.
However, just when the fat boy was complacent, he was attacked from behind.
The person who made the shot was none other than Fenghua.
It is also because of this that Feng Chentian adopted this little boy.
After more than ten years, this little boy won the favor of Fengchentian with his amazing cultivation talent, so Fengchentian accepted him as a righteous son, and loved this nominal son very much.
"Big brother, although that guy is extraordinarily arrogant, I have to say that his cultivation talent is really too perverted. ”
"And, I heard my father say that a few days ago, his strength entered the realm of transforming spirits, presumably, in this year's battle for the princes' orders, the first position is none other than him. Feng Linghao approached Feng Lingtian and said in a low voice.
"Hehehe..."Hearing this, Feng Lingtian smiled bitterly.
As the eldest son, his own strength is not as good as his younger brother, how can he be willing?
At this moment, in the entire Longyan County, almost all the forces with heads and faces were present, and among them, there were nothing more than people from the royal family, princes, three sects and one valley, the general's mansion, as well as many civil and military generals, and some middle forces.
It's just that, to be more specific, there is another force that has not yet arrived, and that is naturally Beiyouhou and others.
"Your Majesty, the hour has come, look...?"
At this time, at the judge's seat, an old man stood up and said respectfully to a middle-aged man sitting in the center of the martial arts square.
This old man is a soldier of the military department, and he also has a lot of prestige in the army, and he is the chief judge of this year's battle for the princes' orders.
And that middle-aged man is the real controller of Long Yan County now, Long Yan Tian.
This person was wearing a golden dragon robe, sitting on the dragon chair, even if he was just sitting quietly, it also gave people a strong sense of oppression, and the temperament of being in a high position for a long time made many people present feel moved.
However, if you look closely, you will find that above this person's handsome face, there is a little less obvious paleness.
Naturally, this was caused by a serious injury caused by cultivation not long ago.
Long Yantian's face sank slightly after looking around the audience, and after a while, he said coldly: "Let's start!"
"Boom Boom"
As soon as the sound fell, the sound of the drums like thunder resounded.
However, a voice that was extremely surprised also sounded immediately:
"The North Waits... It's coming!"
The voice was not loud, but it made the faces of most of the people present change, and then, their eyes shifted away in unison.
Where everyone's eyes converged, I saw a middle-aged man in a gorgeous robe and a smile on his face, slowly walking over.
The person who came was none other than Beiyouhou, one of the four great princes, Long Youtian.
And behind this person are Nan Canghou and Xi Xuanhou and the three old men of the Immortal Wind Dao Bone.
Behind them was a handsome young man.
In the rear of the young man, there were the second and third masters of the Treasure Pavilion, the high-level leaders of the Treasure Pavilion, as well as the eighty-two princes led by Feng Chentian, and four burly men with fierce appearances.
And behind these people are four huge demon beasts.
These four demon beasts each have their own fierce appearances, long breaths, and their strength has actually reached the late stage of the Xuanling Realm, among them, a gray-brown giant python has reached the peak of the Xuanling Realm.
"Hiss"
All of a sudden, countless gasping voices continued to sound.
"This northern seclusion... It's really hidden!"
"Yes, even the three heads of the four transcendent sect forces are all subordinate to the command of Beiyouhou..."
Bei Youhou came to the central area and smiled at Long Youtian:
"Haha, the royal brother is above, the younger brother is late, and I hope that the royal brother will forgive the sins..."
