Chapter 204: Postponement
Early the next morning, the people from the ten major sects in the northern region of the wasteland who participated in the sect competition gathered in front of the city lord's mansion.
The people of the Mountain and River Sect also came, they searched for nearly a day, almost the entire Northern Wilderness City, and found no trace of Tang Chen. Xu Linxian knew that in this case, even if the scope of the search was expanded, I was afraid that there would be no results in a short period of time. Since this is the case, I have to participate in the sect competition first, and I can't ignore both ends.
According to the current sect rankings, the major sects lined up in front of the City Lord's Mansion in turn, waiting for the official start of the sect competition.
At the top of the first row is the Northern Wilderness Sect, followed by the Hanhu Sect and the Snow Domain Gate.
In the first place in the second row is the Qingfeng Sect, followed by the Shenmu Sect, the Holy Sword Sect, and the Xuanyi Sect.
In the first place in the third row is the Shanhe Sect, followed by the Wind Thunder Sect and the Xuanwu Sect.
After everyone waited for half an hour, the city lord Qiu Punk was late, and he didn't give any explanation for this, but just glanced at the major sects, and finally looked at Xu Linxian of the Shanhe Sect, and asked, "I heard that the first core disciple of the Shanhe Sect is missing, but is there such a thing?"
Xu Linxian took two steps forward, clasped his fists and saluted, and replied: "Thank you for the city lord's concern, this is indeed the case! Originally, if the city lord didn't ask, he would have to report to the city lord in the future." ”
After a pause, he continued to ask: "Lord City, there is a reluctant request below, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?"
Qiu Punk bowed his head slightly and replied, "Let's hear it." ”
Xu Linxian clasped his fists again and bowed, and said: "The first missing core disciple of our sect is named Tang Chen, who is the strongest among the disciples of my sect's generation, and has an extremely important impact on our sect's participation in the sect competition!"
It is no exaggeration to say that whether or not he participates in the Great Sect Contest will directly determine the ranking of our sect in the Great Sect Competition! From this inference, his disappearance is not without suspicion in the other nine sects. Therefore, on behalf of the Shanhe Sect, I implore the city lord to thoroughly investigate this matter and uphold justice for my sect! At the same time, I implore that the time of the sect competition be postponed for a period of time......
Before Xu Linxian's words fell, he attracted opposition from other sects.
"You're a bloody squirt!"
"Could it be that you don't have confidence in the sect, so you deliberately hide your disciples to frame us......
"What are you kidding, how can the sect big competition be postponed because of a disciple!"
......
Yan Wu, the master of the Xuanyi Gate, stood in front of the Xuanyi Gate team, his expression changed again and again, hearing the news from Xu Linxian's mouth, he was really shocked, in his heart, with Tang Chen's means, in this Northern Wilderness City, it was simply an invincible existence, who else could hurt him?
Subsequently, he also began to wonder if there was some big conspiracy for the Shanhe Sect to release this news? Could it be that Tang Chen wanted to push back the time of the sect's great competition? But what was the purpose of this?......
Yan Wuru had already sent the order of "obeying the orders of the Mountain and River Sect" to the elders of the sect, so the elders of the Xuanyi Sect did not plan to participate in the condemnation of the Mountain and River Sect at this time.
However, in order not to make the Xuanyi Sect look too special among the sects, Yan Wuru still personally said a few words to refute Xu Linxian.
All of a sudden, there was a lot of noise in front of the City Lord's Mansion!
The city lord Qiu Punk didn't stop it, but coldly watched everyone accuse and blame, and seemed to be very interested.
It wasn't until everyone realized that there was no point in arguing like this, and they all consciously shut up, that Qiu Punk said unhurriedly: "The first core disciple of the Mountain and River Sect disappeared in my Northern Wilderness City, this matter is not trivial, my Northern Wilderness City will definitely not sit idly by, I will definitely investigate it thoroughly, and return the Mountain and River Sect to justice!"
Moreover, what the elder of the Shanhe Sect said was right, their most powerful disciple was missing, and if the sect competition started at this time, it would be very unfair to the Shanhe Sect, and it would also violate the spirit of competition in the sect. Therefore, I decided to postpone the time of the sect competition. ”
Xu Linxian was overjoyed, and immediately hugged his fists and bowed: "Thank you city lord!"
In fact, he just said it casually, and he didn't have any hope for it, but unexpectedly, the city lord actually agreed, which was really a surprise.
Now that the sect is postponed, then they have time to find Tang Chen, and the earlier they find it, the more beneficial it will be for Tang Chen......
The mountains and rivers were happy, but the other sects were not happy, and the elders who led the team protested one after another.
The elder of the Northern Desolation Sect took the lead in standing up and said: "City Lord, this sect is a great competition between the four regions of the Wasteland at the same time, if only I am the Northern Realm to postpone it, this will be very unfavorable to the Northland Sects, it will greatly reduce our harvest in the Wasteland Treasure Realm, and please think twice!"
The others chimed in.
Qiu Punk waved his hand and said, "What the emperor has decided will not change. In addition, I will extend you for as long as you delay entering the Wasteland Treasure Realm, so you don't have to worry about not having enough harvest at that time. ”
Seeing that the city lord said so, the various sects didn't want to say anything more, after all, the entrance to the Wasteland Treasure Realm was in the hands of the city lord, and without his consent, no matter how much they said, they wouldn't be able to enter.
Moreover, it is impossible for the sects to resort to force, the city lord is a star emperor powerhouse, not to mention the profound heritage of the Northern Wilderness City, the city lord alone is enough to destroy all of them.
They only hoped that the delay would not be too long, after all, the Wasteland Treasure Realm was only so big, and there were only so many treasures inside, and the more the other three places obtained, the less they would be left in the Northland, even if the city lord let them stay in it for enough time, it would not make much sense.
......
The big comparison of the sects was postponed, and the ten sects dispersed, each busy.
In the city lord's mansion, in the city lord's retreat room, Qiu Punk returned here, outside the door of the secret room, the white tiger waited here inch by inch, and when Qiu Punk came back, it roared in a low voice.
On the stone bed, Tang Chen had been lying here for nearly a day, but there was still no change, his body was still like a dead corpse, lifeless.
"I don't know how long it will take for the master to resurrect, Zongmen Dabi has been postponed by me, but I can't delay it indefinitely......"
Qiu Punk said to himself that he really hoped that he could see obvious movements on Tang Chen's body, such as making some sounds, or moving his fingers, even if it was just a flutter of his eyelashes, so that people could feel real hope, instead of waiting for results like now.
In Tang Chen's star soul space, the star power of the secondary soul star where the main soul star and the "Shenmu Heavenly Star" star were located was still churning, no different from the beginning.
It's just that those dark red and dark cyan special star power have obviously increased a lot, probably accounting for about 20% of the star power in their respective soul stars, and at this rate, it will take about four days for the star power of these two soul stars to completely become this special star power.
