Chapter 40: Late
In the early morning of the second day, when the sky was just dawning, many people came out of the five big tents on the edge of Horseshoe Lake and gathered on a flat grass not far away.
The warriors of the goshawk mercenary group led by Zhuge Blue Eagle were the last forces to arrive.
"Hehe, Lord Zhuge Eagle, why did you come so late!" The Fire Wolf King of the Fire Wolf Mercenary Group looked at Zhuge Blue Eagle and smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.
"What, do you have an opinion?" Zhuge Blue Eagle is a one-star martial artist, and naturally he is not afraid of the Fire Wolf King at the peak of the warrior, so he unceremoniously pushed back.
When the Fire Wolf King heard this, he snorted coldly, which was regarded as a response.
At this time, Qin Nantian, the city lord of Falling Moon City, looked around for a week, and said with a smile: "Time is pressing, the old man still goes straight to the point, yesterday the puppet Xuanmen won three places, the Wang family won two places, the Fire Wolf Mercenary Group won two places, the Goshawk Mercenary Group won one place, the twelve places have been determined to eight, now start to compete for the remaining four places, please send two candidates each to the four family members!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw two martial artists from the Fire Wolf Mercenary Group immediately, if Murong Bai was here, he would definitely recognize them, these two were the thin-cheeked warriors and the white-clothed young man who met in Xiaoyaotang.
"Hmph, the Fire Wolf King is really a good calculation, let two one-star warriors who have been demoted and cultivated to participate in the election, the style of your Fire Wolf Mercenary Group is really disagreeable!" Zhuge Lanying, as a strong martial artist, naturally saw the clues.
"Fire Wolf King, you have gone too far this time!" Zhong Puppet Xuan, the master of the Puppet Xuanmen, immediately said dissatisfied.
"Fire Wolf King, aren't you afraid of causing public outrage by doing this?" Wang Dingtian, the head of the Wang family, also said angrily, he is not afraid that others are afraid of the Fire Wolf King, because Wang Lieyang, the head of the Wang family in Lingwu City, is his eldest brother, and the two brothers have a deep relationship, and Wang Lieyang is the peak of martial arts cultivation, and he is only one opportunity away from breaking through the martial artist realm.
Wang Lieyang and Wang Dingtian married a pair of sisters, and the Wang family also rose strongly because of these two sisters, for no other reason, the eldest brother of this pair of sisters, Ling Junxiao, is a personal disciple of Xuantian Sect, and this Ling Junxiao loves Wang Yiyi very much.
So even Wang Yiyi's father, Wang Dingtian, is obedient to Wang Yiyi, and it can even be said that he is a little respectful, just like offering to his ancestors.
Wang Dingtian is like this, so is Wang Lieyang, there is no way, who let his son Wang Xi's qualifications be mediocre, and he still messes with flowers and grass all day long, even Wang Xi's current cultivation is forcibly promoted by relying on pills.
It can be said that if Wang Yiyi does not fall, she will be the future head of the Wang family. Ling Junxiao had already said that as long as Wang Yiyi reached a one-star warrior, he could join the Xuantian Sect.
It was also because of this that Wang Lieyang valued Wang Yi very much, took him to Lingwu City, and poured all the family's resources for his cultivation.
For a time, the three major forces all aimed at the Fire Wolf King.
"Everyone, can you listen to the next words? These two people were indeed one-star warriors before, but in order to fight for the fire wolf mercenary group, the two of them secretly took the elixir a few days ago, and the current cultivation of the two of them is indeed a genuine nine-star martial artist, I don't believe you can come forward to check. The Fire Wolf King seemed to have been prepared, and said with a calm expression.
"What, these two people took the initiative to eat the elixir, they really have the courage!
The so-called elixir is a kind of elixir that corrupts the internal organs of a martial artist to reduce his cultivation.
"Yes, this old man can prove that these two people took the elixir in front of the old man. Qin Nantian, the city lord of Falling Moon City, twisted his beard and said with a smile.
"Phew!"
Many people gasped, the people of this fire wolf mercenary group are really ruthless, and they are really unscrupulous to achieve their goals.
"Do you still want to investigate the two of them?" said the Fire Wolf King with confidence, his eyes inadvertently glancing at Zhuge Blue Eagle.
"It looks like things are going badly today. Zhuge Lanying looked worried.
At the same time, the puppet Xuanmen also sent two people without any objections, these two warriors are a man and a woman, the male warrior is thin and tall, with a sallow face, and the female warrior is dressed in purple, and her appearance is also dignified.
The Wang family also sent two warriors, a man and a woman, the woman's willow eyebrows, melon seed face, and good posture, it was Wang Yiyi, the future head of the entire Wang Group, and the male warrior had a black face and a wooden expression.
"What's the matter, the Eagle Lord's people haven't been selected yet?" Qin Nantian said with a slight frown when he saw that only the people from the Goshawk Mercenary Group had not played.
"That's right, another person went out on a mission ten days ago, presumably the journey was long and delayed, but depending on the time, it should have arrived. Zhuge Lanying lied, and at the same time sent Han Shan up.
"Oh, I said why is the Eagle Lord late today, it turns out that he is waiting for a nine-star martial artist. The Fire Wolf King scoffed.
"Fire Wolf King, it seems that you have forgotten the lesson of a few years ago!" Zhuge Lanying's eyes flashed, and he immediately said with a displeased expression.
"Okay, two, don't argue, one person is one person, I'll talk about the rules first, there is no need to compete between the same forces, the rest choose their opponents, each group of battles is over, and there is time to rest with half a stick of incense. Note that you can't pick the same opponent twice, so you can take turns to fight, and finally rank according to the number of wins in the game, and if you have the same record, you can add a fight. ”
As soon as the words fell, the thin-cheeked martial artist of the Fire Wolf Mercenary Group walked out first, pointed at Han Shan with his hand and said, "I choose you!"
"Hmph, I'm afraid you won't make it!" Han Shan stepped forward, drew his heavy sword, and also pointed at the thin-cheeked martial artist.
While the two were talking, the rest of the people chose their respective opponents, and Wang Yiyi had a bye.
The thin-cheeked warrior didn't say a word, holding the black big knife in his hand, he jumped up, and slashed the river with one move towards Han Shan, the knife momentum was amazing, and the sword rainbow was shining.
Han Shan was not afraid at all, the heavy sword in his hand was raised, and with a move of wildfire, he shook it hard.
Bang Bang!
A shrill metal sound resounded throughout the audience, and both of them took three steps back, and they were evenly divided.
Lian Nishang, who was behind Zhuge Lanying, took the opportunity to glare at Xu Lin'er fiercely, lowered his voice and said, "Didn't you say that the person you recommended would come in time?
Xu Lin'er was also very anxious in her heart when Zhuge Blue Eagle and the Fire Wolf King were arguing, looking forward to Murong Bai's appearance, but also feeling sorry for Zhuge Blue Eagle.
At this time, seeing that the fight had started, and Murong Bai had not yet rushed over, Xu Lin'er felt empty in her heart, but at the same time, she also had a fire towards Murong Bai, hum, boy, if you dare to come, you will definitely clean you up when your aunt and grandmother go back.
When Xu Lin'er was upset, when she heard Lian Nishang's warning, the grievance in her heart could no longer be suppressed, and she immediately retorted: "You are not much stronger than me, aren't the two martial artists you recommended still defeated, are you worthy of the Eagle Lord's trust in you?"
Zhuge Lanying's divine sense was strong, so he naturally knew the conversation between the two, and looked back and glared at Lian Nishang and Xu Lin'er sternly
