The capital of the Datang Dynasty is located in the eastern part of the Hope Continent, and there is no city around it, and it is isolated as one. The east, south, and north sides of the capital are surrounded by endless deserts, and if you want to enter the capital, you must cross the vast desert. To the west is a deep mountain forest. Through Sanlin, it is the much-anticipated Sword Sect.

The capital was a place where the economy and culture of the Great Tang Dynasty and powerful warriors gathered. It's a mixed bag, because it's at the foot of the Imperial City, but it's not that chaotic. The capital has many powerful forces. In addition to the royal family, which controlled everything of the Oyu Dynasty, there were also many middle-level families here.

Of the four middle-level forces of the entire Datang Dynasty, three of them had their roots in the capital. The four middle-level forces, the Ye family, the Long family, the Ouyang family, and the Zhong family. Among the four families, only the Zhong family's foundation is no longer in the capital, and the rest are all there. And the Zhong family also set up a side branch in the capital.

Similarly, the capital also has many imperial relatives, princes and generals. Therefore, the intrigue between forces and between people is easier to stage in the capital.

For many new martial artists, they are very eager to enter the capital and be able to be trained in the capital. And for the warriors who have already made a reputation, they all want to leave the capital, want to leave this intrigue, and seem to live in a tense place every day, and they hope to find a quiet place to spend the rest of their lives.

To describe the capital in two words, it is sinister and opportunity.

Today is an exciting day for the entire capital and the entire newborn martial artists. Tomorrow is the day when the Sword Sect recruits new people, and today, the emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty, Emperor Shang, held a prosperous party in order to practice these newborn warriors.

The meeting place is the largest square in the capital and even the largest square in the entire Hope Continent - Business Park. The huge shopping park is set up with hundreds of tables and chairs. On the upper seat, a dragon chair is placed squarely under the city.

Several gongs sounded at the same time, and as many as more than a thousand new warriors entered the business park one after another, in an orderly manner. Following the leadership of the court maids, they all walked to their seats. However, he did not sit down, because everyone was waiting for Emperor Shang, the controller of the Great Tang Dynasty.

The new young warriors are all properly arranged. A sharp eunuch voice, the Shang Emperor in a dragon robe stepped into the upper seat with a steady and atmospheric attitude.

When all the newborn warriors heard the sound of the Shang Emperor coming, they all knelt down and greeted the Shang Emperor in unison.

"Get up. ”

A majestic voice suddenly spread throughout the shopping park. Everyone also got up and looked up at the upper seat. I saw a middle-aged man with a convincing momentum all over his body, wearing a golden dragon robe, standing in the sun and shining extraordinarily. This is our Emperor, Emperor Shang. Looking at the middle-aged man in front of them, everyone secretly said in surprise.

Standing beside the Shang Emperor were ten teenagers of the same age as everyone below. Seven men and three women. These ten young boys and girls are the princes and princesses of the Shang Emperor. They are also the protagonists of today, preparing to participate in this Sword Sect's recruitment. There are also many people below who are followers of these princes and princesses.

"Everyone, sit down. Today's meeting should be eaten at home. Don't be too restrained, the emperor is very happy to be with you young people. Emperor Shang waved his hand to the people below, and said again in a majestic voice. Then Emperor Shang retreated to the dragon chair behind him and sat down, and the ten princes and princesses on the side also sat down.

Hearing Emperor Shang's words, everyone below thanked him in unison, sat quietly on the chair beside him, and sat upright waiting for Emperor Shang's words.

Just as the Shang Emperor was about to instruct the following matters, there was a quarrel at the gate of the Shang Garden. Everyone followed the sound, and saw two teenagers dressed in tatters with a little yellow sand on the tips of their hair arguing with the guards. These two teenagers are Ye Tian and Xi Dong.

Emperor Shang glanced at the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch immediately understood, bowed his head slightly, bent down and left the place, and headed towards the gate. I said a few words to Ye Tian and the doorman. After that, several people were brought before the Shang Emperor.

When they came to the door of the Shang Emperor, Ye Tian and the guards were all half-kneeling.

"Why are you arguing?" asked the Shang Emperor to the three people below.

"Your Majesty, these two named Hua said that they were going to enter the Business Garden, and they also said that they also came here to participate in the recruitment of the Sword Sect. Hearing this, the doorman respectfully told the Shang Emperor.

As soon as the doorman finished speaking, Ye Tian immediately rushed to say, "What? I said that we are also here to participate in the recruitment of new people in the Sword Sect, why can't the Shang Emperor entertain others but not us?"

"Hmph, don't you look at what you're wearing? You know it's an insult to your majesty. How could I let you in. The doorman glanced at Ye Tian and Xidong up and down, and there was really a look of contempt.

"How am I dressed? Do you know how hard we worked to get to the capital? We relied on our human-level strength, and the two of us relied on each other, facing countless difficulties and dangers along the way, and finally arrived in the capital. Just because we're dressed, won't you allow us to enter?" Ye Tian still didn't give up. Originally, they just entered the commercial park to have a good meal, after all, what the two of them ate in the desert was dry food.

As soon as he entered the capital, he heard that the Shang Emperor had a treat, and he and Xidong came over happily. But as soon as he arrived here, he was stopped by the doorman, who was not allowed to enter because of the two of them. To know how expensive water is in the desert, where to take a bath or something. If you don't enter, you won't enter, but this doorman has been talking with his identity, and of course Ye Tian is not happy in his heart, so he deliberately quarrels with him.

looked at Ye Tian and the doormen in the audience, and didn't care about Emperor Shang at all. The eunuch standing on the side couldn't help coughing, "You two still don't keep talking." The Son of Heaven is in front of him, and he doesn't pay attention to etiquette. ”

Hearing what the eunuch said, Ye Tian and the guards all stopped talking, obediently waiting for the Shang Emperor to speak.

Emperor Shang was not angry, but laughed, "I probably know the matter." Come, give these two young men a seat. To show the rudeness of the doormen, let's put their place next to me. ”

As soon as Emperor Shang's words came out, the people in the entire Shang Park were shocked, how lucky it was to be able to sit on Emperor Shang's side. I really envy the two tattered-clad teenagers on the stage.

After a while, Emperor Shang's servants brought two tables and chairs, and Ye Tian and Xidong were seated. The merchant emperor said a few polite words, and the entire business park entered the banquet. On the stage, Ye Tian and Xidong were like two wolves who had been hungry for many days, eating the food on the table. The meal that had just been served didn't last for a minute, and it was quickly wiped out by Ye Tian and Xidong.

This really made everyone feel ashamed of Ye Tian and Xidong, as if their behavior was a group of standard meals. Emperor Shang didn't say anything, and looked at the two teenagers in front of him eating heavily, with a slight smile on his face.

Shang Wei, as the sixth son of Emperor Shang, of course, also sat on the upper seat, and when he saw that Ye Tian and Xidong were still alive, he was shocked and annoyed in his heart. From the time Ye Tian entered the business park to the present, he has been looking at Ye Tian and Xi Dong viciously.

As Ye Tian and Xi Dong took a big bite to eat, the people below also began to let go of the big meal, and the entire Shang Yuan lost the restraint that it had before because of the Shang Emperor's location, and it was completely taken away by Ye Tian and the others.

Just as everyone was having their best eating, a guard in armor hurriedly ran to the Shang Emperor, knelt down on one knee, and reported, "Your Majesty, the Western Glen Lin Empire has sent an envoy to congratulate the Sword Sect on recruiting a new one. ”

Hearing the guards' words, Emperor Shang frowned slightly, and then said to the guards a little reluctantly, "Since the person is here, let him in." “

"Yes" received instructions from the Shang Emperor, and the escort left in time.

A moment later, several men dressed in the robes of Western magicians entered the Merchant Park with steady steps. The leader was a white-haired old man, his entire face was white and without a single wrinkle. He was followed by three teenagers.

Passing through the crowd, the old man kept observing the young warriors of the Great Tang Dynasty around him, with a slight smile on his face. But this smile is a smile of disdain. Seeing the old man's face, the people below were really unhappy. Originally, there was hostility between the East and the West, which was innate, and now with this expression, everyone is even more angry.

"See Emperor Shang, Duke Bayadi of the Lower Glen Lin Empire, today I am here to congratulate the Sword Sect on recruiting new people by the great Emperor Arthur III of our Empire. The old man put his right hand on his chest and bent slightly. The same is true of the three teenagers behind him.

"Well, Duke Bayadi thanked Arthur the Great for his kindness on my behalf. Someone came, set up tables and chairs for the four Duke of Bayardi to attend the party together. Emperor Shang sat on the dragon chair and said majestically.

"Emperor Shang, these three people are three lowly teenagers in my empire. Today's bringing is also to congratulate the Shang Emperor. I took a look just now, and the disciples of the Great Tang Dynasty present are all dragons and phoenixes among people. Bringing them here is also to be a sparring partner for everyone. Bayadi didn't sit down in his place in time, but pushed the three teenagers behind him in front of him and said to the Shang Emperor.

Bayadi's words were to ask the Shang Emperor to find a few disciples of the Great Tang Dynasty from among the people below to compete with these three people. Because Bayadi had already said before, these three people were the lowly disciples of the Glen Lin Empire, and this must be false. The reason why I said this sentence was to pass the competition, and finally win the victory and frustrate the spirit of the Datang Dynasty.

This competition is certain, and it is also a competition about the face of the country.

"Well, listen, listen, any of you want to come up and fight these three Western teenagers. Emperor Shang said to the people below. Suddenly, the entire business park was boiling.

At this moment, everyone wants to show their strength in front of the Shang Emperor. In a matter of moments, there were already four or five young martial artists whose strength was around the level of a fourth-rank or fifth-rank man came to the Shang Emperor.

The Shang Emperor ordered the servants to clean up the front of the Shang Garden and prepare for the competition between the Eastern and Western youths.
