In the spring of the twenty-fifth year of Jiang Guoping, it was very common for it to rain in March.

The curtain of rain shrouded the palace, looming and hazy.

The morning sun has just risen, and it is far from the time to set.

The big competition between the disciples of the outer court and the inner court also came as scheduled, and this was even more for the belated examination of the disciples of the outer court of the palace.

Promotion to the inner courtyard has always been a major event in the palace sword courtyard.

Because only the inner court disciples can enjoy more privileges.

Most of the disciples in the outer courtyard are taught and taught by the Four Realms of cultivation, and it is only when there are new disciples who have just started to teach and teach in the Four Realms.

And the disciples of the inner courtyard are all the great monks of the four realms, and if there are people who are favored, they can also directly worship the four gentlemen in the inner courtyard of the palace.

Although there are actually only three gentlemen in this inner court.

Ouyang Shengxue, the chief of the inner courtyard, and Ning Haoran, the third senior sister and fourth senior brother, were the highest-level disciples of the Sword Academy who were personally taught by the dean Xue Wangwei.

Although all the disciples who entered the inner courtyard could respectfully call Xue Wangwu a teacher, Xue Wangwu only taught occasionally, and he could not really enter the dean's door.

Only the disciples who were personally taught by Xue Wangwei and cultivated to enter the four realms were called Mr., and they also had the power to accept disciples.

And from this aspect, it can also be seen that there are indeed not many genius sword cultivators in the Imperial Sword Academy.

There are only three people who can be representatives.

Regarding this point, Li Mengzhou was also able to fully understand how poor the overall strength level of the disciples of the Sword Academy of the Palace was, and what a delicate stage the status of the Sword Academy was in the capital.

Although the three gentlemen of the inner court are enough to be independent, there is no shortage of geniuses in the world.

Perhaps compared to other cultivation sects, the Ligong Sword Sect is still very strong, but for the Sword Cultivation Sect, this is the phenomenon of withering talents.

Ouyang Shengxue, the strongest among the disciples of the Sword Academy, was still not the best in the capital, and there were two people walking in front of him on the bright side alone.

The strength of the sect is more reflected in the disciples.

No matter how strong the sect leader of this sect is, if there is no successor to him, no one will be afraid.

Because sooner or later, this sect master will return to Dao Heaven.

Although it was drizzling in the sky, and the big exam for promotion to the inner courtyard had been prepared, Li Mengzhou still had time to squat by the river and sort out his hair, he didn't pay much attention to his image, so his hair had always been messy, and now it was a little long, looking at the face reflected in the river, he considered whether to cut it shorter.

But thinking that he doesn't have this technique, and he is about to enter the inner courtyard, he can't swagger with his dog-licking hair, and if he doesn't pay attention to his image, he always has to save face.

He listened to the noise coming from the mountain, thinking that after killing Pei Ruyu in Yingshui Town a few days ago, it took a long time to stagger, and finally returned to the palace before the morning class to talk to Xue Wangwei.

Of course, he didn't inform Xue Wangwu about the "Silkworm Annihilation Volume", and Xue Wangwu was also very pleased that he successfully killed Pei Ruyu and broke into the Chengyi Upper Realm.

And for some reason, Xue Wangwu couldn't see his sea of qi anymore, but he sensed that his sea of qi was filled with heaven and earth aura, which was completely different from the usual desert-like dead aura.

"I saw a sea. ”

Li Mengzhou said this at the time, and his tone was very calm.

Xue Wangwu was silent for a long time, silently took a sip of wine, and said, "I also see the whole world." ”

Although the name of the sea of qi is the sea of qi, the people who can really see a sea only existed many years ago, and there is no detailed record even in the Taoist collection, and no one knows who the person who once saw a sea is, and even the cultivators of later generations think that it is a legend.

Xue Wangwu didn't believe it, it was also a normal thing.

And Li Mengzhou didn't explain too much, the true appearance of the sea of qi that was originally hidden in the eyes of the great monk appeared in him.

If he were not willing, no one would be able to easily see his sea of qi.

He guessed that this might have something to do with "Silkworm Annihilation Volume".

There was a man walking on the mountain road, holding an oil-paper umbrella.

Looking at the figure squatting by the river, she frowned slightly, and said: "The big examination in the inner courtyard is about to begin, and it is said that there are also officials in the court, because the fourth senior brother is not there, the dean arranged for me to come to greet him." ”

Li Mengzhou turned around and saw Shen Jiyue, stood up silently, stretched his waist, and said, "The fourth senior brother is not here, it should be those sects who greet him in person in front of the mountain gate, how can they send you, a disciple of the outer court?"

Shen Jiyue's expression was a little weird, and she said: "The dean said that the big exam in the inner courtyard is just a matter of the Sword Academy, and it has nothing to do with others. ”

"Our dean really has a temper, this is obviously directly telling those officials who came from the court that they are not welcome in the Sword Academy. ”

Li Mengzhou didn't have any opinion on this, and Xue Wangwu, as a big thing at the peak of the five realms, really didn't need to look at the faces of those imperial officials.

In Jiang Kingdom, the only person who can be feared by the Great Cultivators of the Five Realms, and even respected, is His Majesty the Emperor who sits on the throne.

It is not because of how strong His Majesty the Emperor's cultivation is, but because he is the emperor, he controls the luck of the entire Jiang Kingdom, and has a Thousand Seas Realm that makes monks all over the world flock to it.

It is even more because His Majesty the Emperor has the Ewha Academy behind him.

Even if it was Xue Wangwu, a big thing who had entered the peak of the Five Realms, he was just a junior when he faced the patron saint of the entire Jiang Kingdom in the academy.

The sun, which looks dim on the rain screen, shines on the mountain road of the palace.

Several carriages slowly came into view.

Behind him were many guards on horseback.

The carriage stopped in front of the white stone monument.

Many officials from the DPRK and China got out of the carriage.

Although their positions are not low, they are not considered high-ranking and powerful, if the highest position among these officials in the DPRK and China is the new head of the Water Mirror Division, Fan Wuwei.

Fan Wuwei received the holy decree a few years ago, and left his homeland without delay for a moment and rushed to Langya.

But it took two months to arrive in Langya City and join the Water Mirror Division.

If you want to take over Qi Xiaoran's Water Mirror Division, there will naturally be a lot of trouble, Fan Wuwei needs to fill in the loopholes, and also check those who were originally under Qi Xiaoran's door, if there are dissenting people, they will all be put in prison.

It can be said that in the short period of time after Fan was unable to go to Beijing, he showed thunderous methods, and most of the officials suspected of corruption were raided and destroyed, which made the people in the court panic, and no one dared to underestimate Fan Wuwei from this small place.

And Fan Wuwei also gained a firm foothold in the capital in a very short period of time, and the position of the head of the Water Mirror Division was also worthy of the name.

A middle-aged man wearing a yellow python pattern official robe came down from the carriage at the head, he looked to be in his forties, with an extremely restrained and sharp aura, he was a cultivator, so he might be older than he looked.

In addition to the Heavenly Lord's Yuan and Qingyun Prison, the leaders of the remaining four divisions are all great cultivators who have entered the peak of the Wuzhang Realm, and only Fan Wuwei of the Water Mirror Division is only in the Wuzhang Upper Realm, although compared to ordinary cultivators, it is already terrifying, but if it is in the position of the head of the division, this kind of cultivation is a little weak.

Qingyunjian is in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites and scholars, so there are no cultivators, and most of the leaders are people in the literary world, so it is impossible for them to be any cultivators, so Fan Wuwei has become the weakest one of the five directors of Jiang Guo.

But Fan Wuwei's thunderous methods, and because he was recommended by Jiang Tingyu, the head of the Heavenly Cardinal Yuan, no one in the court dared to offend him.

Xu Hexian has not met Fan Wuwei yet, and the court is also looking forward to the meeting between the two of them, after all, there are still many people who know that the Xuanzheng Division and the Heavenly Council are not dealing with each other, so Fan Wuwei, as the person who was recommended by Jiang Tingyu to take over the Water Mirror Division, Xu Hexian could not be at peace with him.

When Li Mengzhou saw Fan Wuwei for the first time, he felt that this person was very strange.

His figure is very ordinary, and even a little obese, perhaps a common disease of old age, but the strange thing is that that ordinary figure implies a very terrifying sense of strength, and the whole person is extremely resolute.

Walking slowly, there is always a breath leaking out, as if it was deliberate.

Li Mengzhou and Shen Jiyue stood in front of the white stone tablet.

Although they were in a welcoming posture, they did not have much respect in their expressions, and their eyes were always looking straight ahead, looking directly at the DPRK and Chinese officials who got off the carriage and walked towards them.

"Presumably this little gentleman is Li Mengzhou, although I have just come to the capital, I have also admired the name for a long time. ”

Fan Wuwei smiled and smiled, but he did not have the slightest dignity and arrogance of the head of the Water Mirror Division, but instead bowed slightly to Li Mengzhou.

Li Mengzhou returned the salute and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao doesn't dare to be, if Master Fan has to be called like this, please take the trouble to remove the small characters." ”

Fan Wuwei was stunned for a moment, and quickly smiled: "In this promotion examination, the little brother will inevitably enter the inner courtyard, maybe he really wants to call Mr." ”

He changed the title to be more affectionate.

Li Mengzhou did not reply again.

Fan Wuwei set his eyes on Shen Jiyue's body, and continued to smile: "This must be the eldest lady of the Shen family in Tongzhou, Miss Shen Jiyue, I am now in charge of the Water Mirror Division, and the Shen family is a big family in Tongzhou, maybe there will be many opportunities to deal with Ling Zun in the future." ”

Shen Jiyue had a strange expression on her face.

She originally thought that there were only these two outer court disciples in front of the mountain gate to greet her, and these powerful figures should be very angry, even if they didn't show it directly, it was impossible for them to be willing to deal with them, just like those who stood behind Fan Wuwei, but she didn't expect Fan Wuwei, the head of the Water Mirror Division, to be so enthusiastic.

The Water Mirror Division is in charge of Jiang Guo's financial power, but all businessmen will always deal with the Water Mirror Division, and Shen Jiyue naturally will not cause trouble with her family, so she is very respectful in return.

Greeted them to the Rikyu Mountain Gate.

Shen Jiyue deliberately fell behind, pulled Li Mengzhou and whispered: "This new head of the Water Mirror Division feels quite kind." ”

Li Mengzhou said: "Maybe it's just a smiling tiger, often such people are the most terrifying." ”
