Chapter 49: The Eve of the Great Match
On the lobby inside the Lee Mansion.
Li Mingfeng, the current head of the Li family, was sitting in the center of the hall, his eyes revealing majesty, while sipping fragrant tea, he secretly looked at Xuan Feng standing under the hall.
Xuan Feng lowered his head, his expression was ancient, his role now was Li Juan's house slave, as a house slave, he must not look directly at the family master, this is the rule.
"Juan'er, this is the house slave you collected a few months ago. Li Mingfeng said in a deep voice.
Li Juan was dressed in a white silk shirt, the murmuring breeze blew from outside the hall door, and a pair of slender long legs like jasper could be vaguely seen between the fluttering clothes, with a waist and a large chest, long hair scattered, slim and elegant, like a snow lotus blooming in a lotus pond.
"Father, although the spiritual root in this son's body has not yet been fully activated, he has already reached the peak of the early stage of innate life, and he is full of combat power, and he can resist three monks of the same rank without falling behind. ”
"Huh?" Li Mingfeng's eyes lit up, and he immediately dispersed his divine sense, and the huge yuan power in the middle of the Jade Emperor Realm rushed up like a storm crashing on the shore, all pressing on Xuan Feng's body.
In the face of such a huge aura coercion, Xuan Feng's face remained unchanged, and his steps did not retreat by half a minute.
He is now one body and three souls, and his combat power is far more than three times that of a monk of the same level, and with the blessing of Long Ao's natal dragon soul, he can ignore anyone's aura coercion.
Under Li Juan's secret instructions, Xuan Feng stepped forward and bowed:
"Xuanmu has seen the head of the family, and the kid has received the great favor of the eldest lady, and I am confident that I will win a place to go to Zhongzhou in this royal competition. ”
"This fruit is very human!" Li Mingfeng secretly exclaimed.
Xuan Feng's light wind made him surprised and delighted, if he had been another innate cultivator just now, he would have been frightened by his aura coercion.
Li Juan had already informed him of what had happened in the inn yesterday, and it was definitely a great joy for the Li family to be able to gather a genius who was superior to a monk of the same rank.
Even if the strong are hidden in the dust, they will shine and dazzle.
Li Mingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, laughed and said:
"Xuanmu, this seat promises: as long as you can enter the top ten, this seat will restore your free body and hire you to worship the Li family. ”
Xuan Feng's expression remained unchanged, he bowed his body slightly, and said loudly: "I will definitely live up to the trust of the head of the family!"
In addition to the children of their respective families, the four major families will also recruit some powerful cultivators who have traveled outside the major forces and hire them as offerings, so as to strengthen the family power.
Many people are eager to climb the lap of the four major Xiuzhen families.
But the position of "worship" is not worth mentioning at all in Xuan Feng's eyes, and he now has a greater desire: to become a nine-grade alchemist within ten years and save Xiao Yu'er.
During the three months of secret training, Long Ao had already told him about the intricacies of the land of Zhongzhou, where it was the world of the strong, the bone mound of the weak, the strong were born, and the weak died, it was a world of cultivation in the true sense.
......
As early as three months ago, the envoys sent by Zhongzhou to the four empires of Shenlong, Southern Qi, Western Barbarian, and Northern Beast had already entered the imperial capitals of various countries.
They are the promoters of the royal competition, and they are also the real decision-makers, and the cultivation of each envoy has surpassed the Jade Emperor realm and reached an unknown realm.
Only monks under the age of eighteen who have attained the Innate Realm are eligible to participate in the Royal Grand Competition.
In the past three months, the current emperor of the Shenlong Empire, Arazu, has issued a document to spread the news of the convening of the royal competition throughout the Shenlong Empire.
As soon as the news came out, the whole country was shocked.
In the major cities of the Shenlong Empire, all the young people who were eligible to participate in the competition were all under the escort of their respective family masters, and they rushed towards Wolong City.
Today, the inns in the entire Wolong City are overcrowded, and there are some people who harbor evil intentions.
In order to make their own family disciples successfully selected, some people even began to secretly hunt down young masters of other family forces.
For a time, a bloody storm quietly set off in Wolong City.
Many young geniuses of small family forces have been strangled in the cradle, and some have even extended their tentacles to the sphere of influence of the Xiao family, Shangguan family, Li family, and Murong family.
Although the four major Xiuzhen families each dominated one side, they did not dare to massacre the children of the families in the major forces at this time, so they could only swallow their anger for the time being, close the door of the mansion, prohibit outsiders from visiting, and prohibit the children of the family from going out.
The number of homicides in Wolong City skyrocketed, and the "Golden Dragon Guard", who was responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, watched coldly.
This was the meaning of the "mysterious envoy", and the Emperor of the Divine Dragon Empire, Araku, did not dare to order to stop the spread of the killing.
The cruelty of the land of Zhongzhou is a hundred times more cruel than here, if they can't even escape this ordeal, they are naturally not qualified to go to Zhongzhou.
The Imperial Palace of Wolong City.
"Leng Lao, everything is ready, just wait for tomorrow dawn to start selecting talents. "Wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe, his face was full of smiles, and his body did not reveal the slightest bit of imperial energy.
"That's very good! The concentration of vitality here is too low, and you issued a message overnight: After the big competition is over, the accompanying disciples of the major families immediately rush to the teleportation array. ”
On the left side of the main hall, an old man in a dark green light shirt was wrapped in a little green light, his hand was holding a white beard, he looked impatient, and said:
"Staying here is like a year, this seat has been delayed here for too long, and after going back, those old guys' cultivation will definitely exceed this seat by a large margin. ”
The absurd man was furious at the old man's attitude, but he didn't dare to show half a point on his face, so he could only bite the bullet, smile all over his face, and clap his palm casually.
At the same time as the applause fell, several graceful girls walked out of the left and right sides of the hall one after another, each holding a jade plate, and a rare treasure was placed in each jade plate.
Hundred-year-old deer antlers, elven ears, orcs bone patterns, dwarves carefully crafted fairy moon bows, thousand-year-old ginseng, He Shou Wu...... The surface of each treasure is shrouded in a faint layer of fluorescence.
As soon as many treasures appeared, the concentration of vitality in the entire hall suddenly became rich, refreshing, fragrant, and refreshing.
"Leng Lao, these are treasures that have been treasured in the palace for many years, and I will dedicate them to Leng Lao today, and I hope that Leng Lao will be able to take care of the royal children in Zhongzhou in the future. ”
As he spoke, he reached out and took a jade plate from a young girl's hand, and actually brought it to the old man himself.
The old man squinted his eyes slightly, and his small eyes were bright: "Haha...... You kid is much more active than those old guys in Zhongzhou. ”
"Leng Lao, go slowly!"
Looking at the old man who was walking away quickly with the two girls in his arms, a cold glint appeared in his eyes, but the aura on his body was still as gentle as usual.
After the old man disappeared, a gust of wind blew in the main hall, and the wind and waves suddenly stopped, and a half-hundred old man holding a bronze mirror walked out of it.
"Your Majesty, all the princes and county lords are ready to participate in the royal competition, and their subordinates have also secretly instructed the four major families to release water in the competition. ”
"Good!"
At this time, the barren man regained the majesty of the emperor, and his demeanor was majestic, and a trace of golden halo emerged from Zhou's body, setting off his whole person more majestic and atmospheric.
"It's been three months, and you haven't found out the whereabouts of the Desperate Star Lord?"
The half-hundred old man is the master of the Jiantian Pavilion, Xing Wushuang, who is responsible for commanding the Golden Dragon Guard, supervising the hundred officials, observing the heavens, measuring the good fortune and evil, and protecting the children of the royal family.
Xing Wushuang was shocked when he heard this, and he knelt down busily and said:
"Your Majesty, the minister has been observing the celestial phenomena for a month, and has used the nebula mirror to deduce many times. However, the Yin Spirit within the main body of the Desperate Star seems to have been sealed by a mysterious force, which makes it impossible for the Nebula Mirror to guess its whereabouts. ”
"Rubbish!" said Aragaru.
"The Desperate Star Lord has just awakened, and he can't pose a danger for a while. The top priority is the conspiracy between me and the three kingdoms of Southern Qi, Western Barbarian, and Northern Beast, as long as this time can be successful, the four empires will no longer have to be controlled by the six first-grade sects. ”
"If this move can be successful, Your Majesty will definitely become the first emperor of the ages!" Xing Wushuang bowed down.
"This matter is still being planned, and it must not be known to the people of the Desolate Ancient Fist Sect and the Dragon Emperor Sword Sect. ”
"Obey Your Majesty's orders!"
"Tomorrow, you will personally lead the Golden Dragon Guard to sit on the Dragon Descending Platform, and you must ensure that the royal grand ceremony is carried out on schedule, and there must be no mistakes in the middle, I don't want to contribute treasures to this insatiable old fellow again. ”
......
Tomorrow is the day of the Royal Tournament.
The major cultivation forces in Wolong City also stopped killing one after another, and when night fell, goose feather-like snowflakes scattered from the sky into every corner of Wolong City.
Inside the Li family mansion.
"Master, tomorrow's royal competition, Xiao Naihe, Ancient Yunjie, Li Mingfeng, Murong Fu and other Jade Emperor Realm masters will definitely be present in person, for fear that when you duel with someone, you will be peeped at your existence. ”
This is the biggest worry in Xuan Feng's heart, the yin soul in his body has been sealed by Long Ao in the black mole in the palm of his right hand, and Long Ao's dragon soul and his natal yang soul dominate the physical body.
"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, the divine soul of the teacher has been fused with your natal yang soul, even if those little guys in the Jade Emperor Realm outside personally hold your pulse to probe, they will not be able to detect the trace of the main seat. ”
Long Ao's voice sounded in Xuan Feng's mind.
Xuan Feng breathed a long sigh of relief, Long Ao would never be untargeted, with his guarantee, he could show his skills in tomorrow's royal competition.
The Royal Big Match was held at the Dragon Descending Platform in the south of Wolong City.
Covering an area of 500 miles, the Descending Dragon Terrace has been opened up to ten battlefields, and ten people from each battlefield are selected to participate in the final ranking competition.
The Royal Contest is held every four years, and the number of places distributed each time is also different, and this time the number of places to go to Zhongzhou has been announced: a total of fifty.
Each person who won the quota was entitled to lead five monks of the same rank to Zhongzhou.
The reason why Li Juan spared no effort to cage Xuanfeng was to let him help the Li family seize one of the places, and then use this place to recruit the defeated genius disciples.
