Chapter 298: Endure Again
readx;??? Ling Zhi has been to the eight-hundred-mile imperial city more than once, but as the Baohe Hall where the royal nobles entertained guests and envoys, Ling Zhi really came here for the first time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When he followed Zhan Mingyue to the outside of the Baohe Hall and looked at the beautiful giant building from afar, Rao was a man of two lifetimes, and he had seen countless good things, and he was also deeply shocked by the magnificence in front of him.
It is a huge palace built on a ten-meter-high pedestal made of white marble, and it looks like a mythical Qionggong fairy from afar.
But this was not the reason for Ling Zhi's accident, what shocked him was the shape of the Baohe Palace, which actually implied an extremely clever defensive formation.
Ling Zhi was also a great monk who had touched the threshold of the Yuan Infant Stage, even if he didn't pass through the formation again, he could see at this moment that if the hall master had the heart, even with his nine hundred and ninety-nine dragon elephant power, it would take a lot of effort to easily break through this defensive array.
Zhan Mingyue's seven tricks were exquisite, and when he saw Ling Zhi's expression, he guessed his thoughts, "Ling Zhi, don't be surprised, in fact, the entire palace, the Baohe Palace may not be the most magnificent and luxurious palace, but when it comes to defense capabilities, the Baohe Palace should be in the first place, my man, I think you should know what the reason is, right?"
Ling Zhi smiled dumbly, "Test me? Isn't this simple? You said before, the Baohe Palace is usually used to entertain ministers, or foreign envoys and VIPs, if even basic safety cannot be guaranteed, doesn't it seem that our Great Xia Dynasty is too weak?"
Zhan Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled, with a look of satisfaction on her face, "Count you still have a bit of brains, okay, I can hear the sound of silk and bamboo inside, the banquet must have already started, let's hurry in!"
After saying that, he didn't step forward, just stared at Ling Zhi's eyes so straight.
Ling Zhi was stunned for a moment, reacted immediately, and immediately said with some annoyance: "Yes, who do you think I am? I promise, can't I swear to God? As long as those rabbit cubs don't take the initiative to cause trouble, even if they pee on my neck, I will definitely not gnaw on ......."
Zhan Mingyue was speechless for a while, and suddenly had a feeling of miscalculation, if he would accept this kind of warning, it would not be Ling Zhi...... No matter, anyway, I'll be holding myself down, I hope this kid won't do anything headaches.
"The slave maid has seen the Ninth Princess, and she has seen the Lord of the Hundred Battles!" The two were talking, and a palace maid had already come to them, and Zhan Mingyue immediately changed into a noble and dignified appearance, "Has it started inside?"
"Back to the ninth princess, it has already begun, His Royal Highness specially asked the servant to greet the two of you, please come with me!"
The maidservant replied respectfully, then turned around and led the way in front, and the two followed the maidservant up the steps made of white marble, and walked through a road that was not too long, and when they entered the guest hall, dozens of guests had already gathered.
Everyone sat in two columns, on the left were the nine young masters of the Great Xia Kingdom who had just been baked, except for the first two positions that were vacant, and the back were Xuanyuan Bugu, Shang Wenchen, Yi Tianxing, Yunsheng, Mu Wushuang, Fang Han, Danchenzi, and on the right were ten young people who were also young.
Ling Zhi's gaze only glanced at these ten people slightly, and soon fell to the person sitting directly above Zhan Qiankun.
This is a white-faced and beardless middle-aged man, with an ordinary appearance, belonging to the kind of master who will never be noticed first if he is thrown in the pile, but it is such an ordinary face, sitting there, but he has just hidden the battle Qiankun next to him, who is superior to him in terms of temperament and appearance.
Because of this, the breath that people inadvertently revealed is not aggressive, but it gives people a deep sense of the cold pool and empty valley, even with Ling Zhi's five senses, he can't easily guess the slightest difference between his depth and shallowness.
Just as Ling Zhi looked up at the middle-aged man, everyone in the hall also noticed them, but everyone only stayed on Ling Zhi's body for a short moment, and immediately stood up and greeted Zhan Mingyue warmly.
"Ninth Princess? Could this be the Ninth Princess of your country, Miss Mingyue? Sure enough, it is even more rare that she is young and already has a good cultivation, but this old guy is a little embarrassed, hahaha!"
The middle-aged man sitting next to Zhan Qiankun heard that the geniuses on the side of the Great Xia Kingdom saluted the Ninth Princess, and immediately stood up from his position, and said words of approval in his mouth.
Even if Zhan Mingyue saw this person for the first time, he could already guess his identity, and he didn't dare to slack off when he heard this, so he hurriedly walked over and said respectfully: "This must be the envoy from the Baishan Empire, right?
"Hahaha, Mingyue, you are polite, this is the home of your fighter, I am an outsider, how dare I call 'adult'?"
The envoy seemed to appreciate Zhan Mingyue very much, and after hearing the other party's salute, he didn't put on the shelf of "Heavenly Empire" at all, but joked with Zhan Mingyue very kindly.
"Your Excellency is really polite, in front of your old man, what princess and prince are we worthy of?"
At this time, Zhan Qiankun also stood up with a smile, and after saying a word, he suddenly beckoned to Ling Zhi, "King of Hundred Battles, come here, let me introduce you, this is Lord Bai Hanshui Bai from the White Mountain Empire."
Lord Bai, this is the Ling Zhi I just mentioned to you, don't underestimate his low realm, his strength is not bad, among the ten of us this time, except for my imperial brother, he is the most powerful!"
Ling Zhi's eyes froze, he didn't think that Zhan Qiankun would be so kind to praise himself, although what he said was true, but the scene was not only from the Great Xia Kingdom, but also the top ten geniuses of the Chimu Kingdom next to him, what would people think when they heard it?
Just as he was about to say something humble, the envoy Bai Hanshui had already come to him, and he patted him on the shoulder with an elder's style, "Yes, it's really a talent, I look at your bones are green, you should be no more than twenty years old, right......?"
"Mr. Bai praised it, Ling Zhi's little trick, where can he get into Mr.......'s eyes"
"Hehe, it seems that you still have self-knowledge!"
Without waiting for Ling Zhi to finish speaking, a yin and yang strange voice immediately came out from the top ten geniuses of the Chimu Country, and it was a young man with a slender face and wearing a green robe, who was the sixth cultivator of the Earth Martial Realm, and the position he was sitting in was ranked eighth on their side.
Ling Zhi frowned slightly, and suddenly saw Zhan Mingyue on the opposite side cast a vicious look, and swallowed it back when it came to his mouth, until his face turned red, but he didn't even let out a fart, and walked straight to the empty position on the right hand.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
Zhan Mingyue seemed to be able to understand the grievances in Ling Zhi's heart, and hurriedly stood up to start a round, she deliberately looked at Zhan Qiankun and said, "Oh, starling, you patronize to introduce me to Mr. Bai, there are so many geniuses on the scene, why don't you introduce me and Ling Zhi?"
Zhan Qiankun slapped his forehead, "Look at my memory, Imperial Sister, and Ling Zhi, you all come here, let me introduce you, the ten young heroes here are the top ten sons from Chimu Country, this is ......"
"His Royal Highness, I don't think it's necessary, right?"
Zhan Qiankun's words were only halfway through, and the young man in green just now stood up and said: "For Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess, we have already known each other just now, and we are not interested in knowing the so-called king and that marquis who are disrespectful and can be late for such a state banquet. ”
"Ha, His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince, please forgive me for taking the liberty of being below, I want to ask, is there no one in your Great Xia Kingdom anymore?"
After the green-clothed man finished speaking, a young man sitting in the third position in the team of Chimu Country suddenly stood up and asked Zhan Qiankun.
Zhan Qiankun laughed dryly twice and said, "I don't know what the third prince said about this?"
The third prince of Chimu suddenly laughed, "A mere mortal ant with a fourfold martial realm, but you are holding it like a flower, I don't know if there is really no one in your Great Xia Kingdom, or is it on purpose?"
"Yes, if there is really no one, then we should explain to Mr. Bai that although our Chimu Country is thin, we can still get more than a dozen candidates. ”
"If you obviously have a better candidate, but you choose such a fourfold waste material of the Earth Martial Realm, then I have reason to believe that your Great Xia Kingdom is not respecting this Qingzhou Grand Competition at all, and you are despising your suzerain, the White Mountain Empire!"
"Hmph! It's unreasonable, Mr. Bai, you have also seen that the Great Xia Kingdom even takes such an important Grand Competition so lightly, I propose that the Great Xia Kingdom simply deprive the Great Xia Kingdom of the qualification to participate in the Qingzhou Grand Competition this time, the big deal is that my Chimu Kingdom will suffer a loss, and it will be ...... if ten more people participate."
After the third prince took the lead, the other princes of the Akagi Kingdom also ridiculed me one by one, at first the spearhead was only pointed at Ling Zhi, and in the end, it actually rose to the height of the qualification of the Great Xia Kingdom.
Rao is side of the Great Xia Kingdom did not look at Ling Zhi pleasing to the eye, and after hearing these words, he couldn't help but show a look of righteous indignation.
Bai Hanshui didn't seem to expect that Chimu Kingdom would be in trouble so soon, but to be honest, he was just as unhappy that the Great Xia Kingdom would send a low-level martial cultivator like Ling Zhi to participate in the Qingzhou Competition.
It's just that as an envoy, although he has an opinion in his heart, he doesn't show it on his face, "Hehe, what the Ten Princes of Chimu said does have some truth, but here I want to correct one point, the Great Xia Kingdom is by no means without talents, such as the prince fighting the sky, as far as Bai knows, the strength is not comparable to ordinary people......"
"Hmph! Battle Firmament, Battle Firmament Again, Mr. Bai, please forgive the boy for being rude, I don't know if this Battle Firmament is as powerful as the legend says, but his arrogance, I'm afraid that even the first day of your country can't compare, tonight I know that the envoy is here, and you don't even show your face, think of such a person......"
"Click!"
Suddenly, the sound of a broken wine glass sounded, interrupting a young man who was speaking, and everyone followed the sound, but it was Ling Zhi who crushed the cup and stood up from his position.
It was the sixth prince of the ten princes of Akagi who spoke just now, and after Ling Zhi stood up, a chill appeared on his face, "What's wrong?
Ling Zhi shook his head, and suddenly bared his teeth and smiled, "What kind of boy is this, you keep saying that Ling Zhi is an ant trash, then I want to ask you one thing, do you think that if the realm is high, the strength must be strong?"
Chimu Sixth Prince's Earth Martial Realm Seventh Cultivation, how could he not hear the sarcasm in Ling Zhi's words? Immediately said coldly: "Although the realm is high, it is not necessarily strong, but if I want to crush you, it will not be more difficult than crushing an ant......
"In that case, what are you waiting for?"
"Do you really want to find death?!"It's like a book, the home of books!
