"No need, I believe Wan'er won't harm me!"

Zhou Xuan stopped Yang Qingzhu.

"Do you believe in her so much, and you won't believe me even a point?"

"Qingzhu, you can go back too, I'm going to cultivate. ”

Zhou Xuan forcibly sent Yang Qingzhu away, and after making sure that there was no one around, he slapped himself in the chest.

Burst!

Under the huge force, Zhou Xuan spurted out a large mouthful of blood, and the blood was mixed with a pill, which was the Heart Devouring Pill that he had just swallowed.

"Whew!"

Zhou Xuan let out a long breath and looked into the distance with his eyes like torches.

He didn't see that this pill was a Heart Devouring Pill, but Zhao Wan's actions today were too abnormal, which made Zhou Xuan suspicious, and Yang Qingzhu informed him in advance, so he was on guard.

But this is not a good opportunity, in order to deceive the second prince and others, in order to have unexpected effects in the royal competition.

Holding the pill in his mouth, this kind of trick may not be able to deceive Zhao Wan.

Then you can only really swallow the Heart Eater Pill, and then block the Heart Eater Pill in your throat with the aura in your body.

Because he couldn't keep the Heart Devouring Pill stuck in his throat, he was in a hurry to take Yang Qingzhu and Zhao Wan away.

......

The next day, Zhengyang Palace.

Inside the main hall, dozens of people gathered.

On the left and right sat the seven princes and Princess Chenyang and others, a group of young talents of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

A little further back are the loyal ministers of the dynasty and the relatives of the emperor.

Zhou Xuan stood in a corner where no one cared, looking at these familiar faces, no different from five years ago.

The only difference is that nowadays, these people all look at him coldly.

Although he is the eldest prince, he doesn't even have a place to sit, so he can only stand in the corner like a servant.

After a short time, a man and a woman entered the Zhengyang Palace.

The man's posture is upright, not angry and self-assured, and his body is full of dragon energy, which is Zhou Zhentian, the lord of the dynasty.

The woman's grace and luxury, with a smile on her face, is none other than Xiao Guifei, who is about to be sealed.

As soon as the two of them appeared, they attracted everyone's attention, and they all stood up and bowed.

"Flatten. ”

Zhou Zhentian waved his hand, and when they bowed their heads and knelt, he glanced at Zhou Xuan twice, but quickly retracted his gaze, and no one noticed.

"Today's contest is intended to test you young people, you must be pointed, and you must not injure your opponent, understand?"

Zhou Zhentian's majestic gaze swept over everyone, and everyone nodded yes.

Subsequently, Zhou Zhentian waved his sleeves and sat on the dragon chair, and Xiao Guifei stood beside her, ranking above everyone, which shows her status in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Since it is a competition, then the winner will naturally win the reward, I promise that the first place in the competition can enter the dragon diverticulum to practice for three days, and I can agree to a request from him!"

As Zhou Zhentian's words fell, the Zhengyang Hall instantly boiled, and all the young talents kept talking.

Zhou Xuan's eyes gradually became hot, and he agreed to a request, which seemed very good, but the person who made the request would never dare to mention it indiscriminately.

On the contrary, it is the dragon diverticulum that practices for three days, which is even more desirable.

The retreat is dedicated to the cultivation of the children of the royal family, and the dragon diverticulum is the place where the lord of the country cultivates, and those with outstanding talents can practice in the dragon diverticulum for one day in the outside world, which can be worth one month of penance in the outside world, and those with ordinary talents can also be worth ten days and half a month of penance in the outside world.

It is rumored that the dragon diverticulum is the place where the dragon veins of the Great Zhou Dynasty gathered, and the aura was almost rich to a liquid state.

It is precisely because he can practice in the dragon diverticulum day and night that Zhou Zhentian can become the first powerhouse of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

"If there are no objections, let's get started, and the order will be determined by lot. ”

Zhou Zhentian lay on the dragon chair and said lightly.

The crowd dispersed in an orderly manner, leaving an open space in the middle of the Zhengyang Palace.

As soon as the words fell, all the young talents led by the second prince stepped forward and drew lots from the hands of the eunuchs.

Zhou Xuan drew lots in the last draw, and returned to the same place without reading the content of the lot.

His eyes have always been on the second prince and others.

In addition to the second prince who is in the middle stage of foundation building, there are several masters in the early stage of foundation building, and the rest of them only have cultivation below foundation building.

Zhou Xuan couldn't help but feel ridiculous, five years ago, he was already a master at the peak of foundation building, and they obviously had five years to catch up with Zhou Xuan, and now the highest cultivation is only in the middle stage of foundation building.

If it weren't for the sudden change, Zhou Xuan would have become the youngest powerhouse of the Great Zhou Dynasty and even the Jin Yuan Continent!

"I'm number one!

Suddenly, Zhou Nan stood up and looked around with the No. 1 sign in his hand.

The rest of the people silently looked at their signatures, and for a long time, no one answered.

"Zhou Xuan, what sign are you!"

Zhou Cheng's eyes turned and fell on Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan took it out and saw that it was the No. 1 sign, so he showed it to everyone.

"It's actually No. 1, count yourself lucky!"

Zhou Cheng clenched the No. 2 pick in his hand and threw a provocative look at Zhou Xuan.

After a while, Zhou Xuan and Zhou Nan stood in the center of the Zhengyang Palace, but they were not the focus of the crowd, on the contrary, everyone observed Zhou Zhentian from the corner of their eyes.

Zhou Xuan didn't get the emperor's order, killed the garden guards and fled, and abolished Zhao Wu, all kinds of crimes, once pursued, they could take Zhou Xuan's life.

But Zhou Xuan personally stood in front of Zhou Zhentian, but Zhou Zhentian didn't say a word, making it clear that he wanted to turn a big thing into a small matter.

"Zhou Xuan, I was careless last time, and this time, I will be ashamed!"

Zhou Nan's fists creaked, and he couldn't hide any emotions, as long as he was a person with eyes, he could see that his face was full of murderous intent.

"Come on. ”

Zhou Xuan hooked his finger at Zhou Nan.

"Humph!"

Zhou Nan snorted coldly and smashed his fist at Zhou Xuan.

With the experience of the last time, Zhou Nan knew in his heart that it was not the same as being able to defeat Zhou Xuan, so he could only rely on his fist technique to keep trying, and when Zhou Xuan showed his flaws, he would use kamikaze fist to defeat the enemy with one blow.

Bang!

Zhou Xuan's horizontal sword resisted, and suddenly a scene that shocked everyone happened.

Burst!

With just an ordinary punch, Zhou Xuan coughed up blood, and his face turned pale.

Although everyone present didn't know what was going on, they could see that Zhou Xuan seemed to be seriously injured, and he was trying to suppress the injuries in his body at the moment, and his strength was greatly reduced.

"The poison of the Heart Eater Pill has attacked. ”

Zhou Cheng and Concubine Xiao glanced at each other.

Xiao Guifei was unfazed, expressionless, and couldn't see anything, while Zhou Cheng's face was full of pride.

"Lord of the country, Brother Zhou Xuan is injured, I ask for a pause in the competition!"

Yang Qingzhu stepped forward and knelt on the ground and pleaded.

"I'm fine. ”

Zhou Xuan staggered to his feet, stepped down, held the hilt of the sword with his right hand, and walked forward, ready to use the sword drawing technique, "Seventh brother, one move will determine the victory!"

"Just what I want!"

Zhou Nan was secretly happy, I couldn't beat you at the peak, could it be that if you were injured, I couldn't beat you?
