Chapter Seventy-Seven: Go to the Qi Lotus Pond
The selection competition of the City Lord's Mansion was over soon, although a few days had passed, but it was still talked about by everyone, especially the last game, the result was really unexpected by everyone, this young man named Wu Ming suddenly appeared and defeated Xie Yu of Xie Mansion strongly, even the latter did not take him to the use of silver ice needles, especially in the end, the Lord of Xie Mansion also personally came down to apologize to Wu Ming in person, and also took out the unique emerald ginseng as an apology, which was really amazing, sigh, the whole Fengcheng was talking about him, which made Wu Ming a little helplessγ
I thought that the Xie family would be the biggest winner in this competition, and two places were selected, but I didn't expect that the biggest winner in the end was the City Lord's Mansion, and in the eyes of outsiders, the City Lord's Mansion and the Xie family's open and dark competition accounted for some of the limelight, and only a few people knew that Wu Ming was just a passer-by of the City Lord's Mansion.
After this selection competition, it was decided that five young talents would represent Fengcheng to participate in the competition for the Qi Lotus Pond, they were, Xie Feng of the Xie Mansion, Liu Hong of the City Lord's Mansion, Cheng Yu of the Cheng Chamber of Commerce, Zhuo Liangfeng of the Zhuo Family, and Wu Ming of the City Lord's Mansion.
Today is the seventh day, that is, the day of the competition for the Qi Lotus Pond, and the snow is still falling.
Wu Ming and the other five winners, as well as their elders, also came to the City Lord's Mansion early, gathered and prepared to set off.
"You're pretty good, all over Fengcheng are talking about you. Liu Hong was dressed in red, draped in red raccoon velvet shoulders, blinking her crystal eyes, and said to Wu Ming.
Wu Ming shrugged his shoulders and grinned.
"However, this time the competition for the Qi Lotus Pond is not so simple, it is said that the five people in Lingcheng are not easy to deal with, especially the person named Yan Qing, he is the son of Yan Chu, the lord of Lingcheng, and his own strength is a ninth-order quenching body, which should not be underestimated. β
"There is also a person named Zhao Qinding, he is also the strength of the ninth order of quenching, there are two quenching ninth orders in this mausoleum, and we only have one Xie Feng, the situation is not optimistic. Liu Hong shook her head slightly, and said worriedly, "I don't know which unlucky ghost will face him this time." β
Hearing this, Wu Ming also nodded thoughtfully, the ninth order of the quenching body is against the eighth order of the quenching body, and the level suppression is directly visible, the strength of the younger generation in Lingcheng is stronger than that of Fengcheng, but in any case, he will definitely get the qualification of this qi lotus pond.
Just as Wu Ming was pondering, Xie Feng walked over in a red coat, glanced at Wu Ming coldly, and said indifferently: "I hope you can also win this competition." β
Wu Ming rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Thank you brother Jiyan." β
Xie Feng raised his eyebrows, glanced at Wu Ming, and then turned to leave, while Zhuo Liangfeng, Cheng Yu and the others on the side also simply glanced at Wu Ming, and then withdrew their gaze.
"Hehe, everyone's here. Liu Shen and other bigwigs of various forces came over at this time, and Liu Shen smiled.
"The five of you are the five best young talents in our Fengcheng, this battle for the Qi Lotus Pond, I hope you can go all out, but don't insult our reputation in Fengcheng. Liu Shen glanced at the five people in front of him and said slowly, "And this competition, you can only rely on yourself, and we can't help it." β
"Lord Liu, I will definitely do our best. Xie Feng and the others hugged their fists and said, in this battle for the Qi Lotus Pond, whoever wins will be qualified to enter the Qi Lotus Pond, and there is no need for Liu Shen to say, they will naturally try their best to win.
Hearing this, Liu Shen nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Wu Ming, who did not speak, and the latter also nodded lightly.
"Alright, let's go. Liu Shen beckoned, and the subordinates around him led the horned horse, put on a big coat, turned over on the horse, and then snorted softly, and led everyone to gallop away towards the deep mountains in the south where the Qi Lotus Pond was located.
"Qi Lotus Pond ......" Wu Ming lightly flicked the heavy snow on his body, looked into the distance leisurely, and then turned over and quickly followed.
......
The air lotus pond is in the deep mountains in the south of Fengcheng, the mountain is covered by heavy snow, the road is difficult to walk, and the sky is full of wilderness.
It was originally an hour's journey, and everyone traveled for two hours, Wu Ming raised his eyes and looked at the mountain covered with silver snow in front of him, and in the white vast mountain, he could faintly hear some low roars of demon beasts.
"The mountain road is blocked, the snow is deep, we can only walk up the mountain, everyone should be careful, there are a lot of monsters here, let's go." Liu Shen looked ahead, then turned over and dismounted, and said to the people behind him, and then flew directly into the deep mountains, and behind him, everyone also followed, one after another ghostly figures, shuttling between the white mountains.
Wu Ming followed closely, and the soul gradually spread, vigilantly sweeping around, he could feel that there were many demon beasts in this deep mountain and snow, but after perceiving the strength of this team, they were all retreating, and at the same time, Wu Ming also found a lot of teams hunting demon beasts, presumably also people from nearby villages and towns, after perceiving Wu Ming and others, they were also curious to look here.
Unconsciously, Wu Ming found that the more he walked to the top of the mountain, the warmer the temperature became, and the snow was getting less and less.
On the top of the mountain, to be precise, the top of the mountain is concave and becomes a basin, but in this snowy weather, there is no snow on the ground of the basin, and the snowflakes fall on the top of this mountain, and before they land, they turn into water droplets, and fall into streams, and flow into the middle lake, and if Wu Ming is not mistaken, this lake should be the so-called air lotus pond.
This air lotus pond is about ten zhang, the pool water is extremely clear, tumbling bubbles, the rising mist vaguely forms a lotus-like shape above the pool water, it is really wonderful, if you smell it carefully, there is still the fragrance of these lotus flowers around.
And next to this pool, there are already groups of figures standing there, and this group of people should be the people of Lingcheng.
"Hehe, Lord Liu, you're a little slow. When everyone came up, a slightly rough voice sounded, and then Wu Ming's eyes looked for prestige, and in the group of figures by the pool, a burly middle-aged man was looking at this with a smile.
This burly middle-aged man, wearing a black mink cloak, a black brocade robe and a gold-rimmed robe, and a neatly trimmed beard, the corners of his mouth also lightly provoked a slight smile, and when his words fell, several figures around him also looked here.
"Haha, Lord Yan, you came really early, the snow road is difficult, I hope you will bear with me. Liu Shen also quickly recognized the person in front of him, this person was Yan Chu, the city lord of Lingcheng, who came so early, which made Liu Shen a little stunned, and then he also hugged his fists and smiled.
Wu Ming swept Yan Chu, and the latter couldn't see any true qi fluctuations on his body, but he stood there, but it was like a huge mountain, giving people a strong sense of oppression, and his strength was not to be underestimated.
And the several figures standing with Yan Chu, their strength is also similar to Yan Chu, and they are all in the late stage of the Qi Refining Realm.
Then he looked at the five young figures next to him, four men and one woman, each of them was handsome and beautiful, with an extraordinary temperament, Wu Ming could feel that each of them exuded an aura that was not weaker than his own at all, obviously they were at least the strength of the eighth order of quenching, and the two teenagers on the far left and right, both of them were actually the strength of the ninth order of quenching.
Two quenching ninth-order, three quenching eighth-order, but this mausoleum is a little stronger than Fengcheng.
"The person wearing a brocade robe on the left is Yan Qing. Liu Hong pointed to the young man on the left in front of him, and then pointed to the young man on the right, and explained to Wu Ming, "And the person in the blood-colored red robe is Zhao Qinding." β
"Although these two people are both strength of the ninth order of quenching, I would rather meet Yan Qing than Zhao Qinding. Liu Hongmei blinked, and her mouth was furled.
"Why?" Hearing this, Wu Ming was also stunned.
"You don't know, this Zhao Qinding is extremely insidious and vicious, no one who has fought with him is safe and sound, he doesn't know what to pity and cherish. Liu Hong rolled her eyes and said with some annoyance.
In this regard, Wu Ming also shook his head with a wry smile, it seems that the latter's ruthlessness has left a lot of shadows on Liu Hong, making Liu Hong so afraid of him.
Wu Ming was also curious, and raised his eyes to look at Zhao Qinding, and the latter's gaze also happened to look over, and the two collided, and the latter's yin smile made Wu Ming's brows frown slightly.
When everyone walked over, Yan Chu's eyes swept briefly, and then pointed to the empty area on the side, and said lightly: "Since you are here, let's start quickly, the energy of this Qi Lotus Pond is at its peak, and it is the best time, it is not good to delay." β
