After getting the information he wanted to know, Chen Jiuyou came out of the wind and rain building.

His saber was still in the inn, and he was not familiar with the place in Jiangnan, so he was not interested in strolling, so he went straight back to the inn.

When Chen Jiuyou approached the inn, his brows furrowed, he found that two breaths appeared in his room, his figure flashed, and he quickly appeared in front of the door, reining in his breath.

The two breaths in the room gave him a strange feeling, one of them was like a beast, giving people a strong sense of threat, and the other was a mess, the good and evil breaths were mixed together, but they were connected to him as if they were nothing.

Chen Jiuyou exhaled deeply and opened the door with his hand.

Seeing the two people sitting on the tea table in the room, he was surprised: "Brother Yu? And also... Duanmu Lei, why are you here? ”

It turned out that the two breaths that appeared in his room, one belonged to Yu Baifei, who he hadn't seen for more than half a year, and the other belonged to the last person he saw when he left Shuizhou, the mysterious Duanmu Lei.

At this time, Yu Baifei was already like two people compared to before, his hair had turned into a big color, his left eye was covered by an eyepatch, and the aura on his body was extremely huge and terrifying, sometimes evil and turbid, sometimes mighty and righteous, full of contradictions.

What made him even more curious was why Yu Baifei came with Duanmu Lei.

Yu Baifei was pleasantly surprised: "Jiuyou, you're finally back, I haven't seen you for a long time, Brother Yu misses you." ”

After speaking, he got up and hugged Chen Jiuyou, Chen Jiuyou couldn't help but open his arms and hugged him, and the two patted each other's shoulders hard.

The thoughts in his tone, Chen Jiuyou could clearly feel it, he knew that his worries were superfluous, and Brother Yu had not changed.

After the two separated, Duanmu Lei spoke: "Chen Jiuyou hasn't seen you for a long time. ”

Although Chen Jiuyou no longer minded Duanmu Lei's calculation of him last time, he still had a little pimple in his heart after all, and said expressionlessly: "The task you gave me has been completed, and we should have cleared up between us, what are you still looking for me for?" ”

Duanmu Lei picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Chen Jiuyou, don't be so angry, I at least saved your red face, and also helped you block the pursuit of the Qingcheng Sword Sect, and more importantly, I am still Yu Baifei's guarantor." ”

Chen Jiuyou raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked Yu Baifei, "Brother Yu, what's going on?" ”

Yu Baifei scratched his head and explained, "You ...... You also know my situation, I am now under the focus of the imperial court, I was originally under house arrest in the capital, Duanmu Lei vouched for me, so I can walk around, but I must act by Duanmu Lei's side. ”

Chen Jiuyou nodded, Yu Baifei's situation was single-handedly facilitated by him, in order to save Yu Baifei with a broken heart, he pressed the ghost seed on his heart, resulting in Yu Baifei now being in a state between humans and ghosts.

Chen Jiuyou found a place to sit down, looked at Duanmu Lei and said helplessly: "Say, what are you doing here to find me?" ”

Duanmu Lei smiled: "I just want to come and see you, can't I?" ”

"Don't be, I don't want to be worried about you, let's say, you have nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Palace, and you must want me to do something when you come to me."

Duanmu Lei smiled bitterly: "You really know me, okay, I did have something to do with you." ”

He didn't say anything directly, but asked Chen Jiuyou: "Do you feel any difference in this Jiangnan County?" ”

Chen Jiuyou frowned, thought carefully in his mind, and said his guess: "It seems that the number of martial artists has increased, and all of them are masters." ”

In his memories, although there are warriors in Jiangnan, in fact, the warriors in Shuizhou are very scattered, even the capital Jiangnan is only a little more than other prefectures, but in the past two days, the warriors suddenly appeared like a blowout, and they gathered in Jiangnan County, which is too different from the usual Jiangnan.

Duanmu Lei nodded, Chen Jiuyou was really the person he was looking for, this kind of man who could think independently was the person he was looking for.

"Have you heard of 'Hidden Dragon Jiao'?"

Chen Jiuyou shook his head, he had never heard these four words.

Duanmu Lei knew that he didn't know when he saw Chen Jiuyou's expression, and he smiled and said, "That's right, you've been busy killing the ghost clan recently, of course you haven't noticed the information from the rivers and lakes."

The Qianlong Dajiao is a martial arts competition held by the Great Zhou Imperial Court and the Zhenzhou forces of the other eight states. ”

Yu Baifei added on the side: "The Hidden Dragon Jiao is actually a martial arts fight between young martial artists under the age of twenty-five, and the object of the martial arts fight is an acquired level martial artist. ”

Speaking of which, the clever Chen Jiuyou already knew the reason why they came to him.

"You want me to participate in this Hidden Dragon Jiao?"

Duanmu Lei nodded, and it really didn't take much effort to talk to smart people.

Chen Jiuyou shook his head and refused, "No, I don't want to participate. ”

The reason why he refused was that he was completely uninterested, he was a human being, and he had long passed the age of fighting with others, and although he occasionally had a little blood, he didn't have much thought.

Moreover, after Zhou Tongtong died, the anger in his heart needed to be vented by killing the ghost clan, and now for him, killing the ghost clan is more important.

Duanmu Lei didn't expect Chen Jiuyou to refuse directly, and persuaded him: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, this martial arts fight is also beneficial." ”

Hearing this, Chen Jiuyou was a little interested, utilitarianism is the most important thing for people of his age.

"What reward?"

Duanmu Lei smiled mysteriously: "It's a prize from the ten supremes." ”

"Be specific." Chen Jiuyou is not easy to fool.

"It may be the supreme exercises and martial arts, but they are their unique skills." Duanmu Lei yearns for authenticity.

For a person of his status, even the techniques of a Dao Realm martial artist were no longer useful to him, and only the supreme exercises and secret techniques could allow him to improve.

"That's it?"

Chen Jiuyou shook his head again, not interested at all.

If some heavenly spirit and earth treasures may be Chen Jiuyou, he still has a little heartbeat, he doesn't lack martial arts at all, there is a system, and almost all of the exercises and martial arts given are extremely suitable for him, he doesn't need other people's exercises and martial arts.

"I don't know why you're asking me to participate?" Chen Jiuyou asked the crucial question.

Duanmu Lei reacted and replied, "I forgot to tell you about the way of fighting in this martial arts."

Qianlong Dajiao takes the form of a team battle, with a group of five people, the first is to select in the state, and then the top two are duel. ”

Chen Jiuyou nodded, no wonder they came to him, it turned out that they wanted him to join the team and participate in this martial arts conference together. But he felt that Duanmu Lei had something to hide from him.

"There are so many powerful martial artists, why are you looking for me?"

Duanmu Lei looked at Yu Baifei next to him.

Yu Baifei shrugged helplessly and said, "Let's say it, if you don't make it clear, Jiuyou will definitely not agree." ”

Duanmu Lei nodded and told the truth: "There is another requirement to participate in the martial arts, there must be a top ten martial artist on the hidden dragon list in the team. ”

The reason why he concealed this information was mainly because he wanted to make himself the captain of this team selfishly, and if he told Chen Jiuyou this information, then Chen Jiuyou would have the initiative.

When Chen Jiuyou heard this request, he was surprised: "Top ten in the hidden dragon? Am I in the top 10 of the hidden dragon? ”

He didn't know that he had become the top ten of the hidden dragons in Shuizhou.

Duanmu Lei nodded and said: "That's right, you were the ninth hidden dragon before, and you fell to the tenth in the latest hidden dragon list because you didn't have any information." ”

"Then you mean that only the top ten teams of the hidden dragon can participate in martial arts?"

Duanmu Lei shook his head and said: "Of course not, in order to consider a martial artist like me who is not on the hidden dragon list, a single martial arts fight was also held, and the top ten in the single martial arts fight can also form a team."

The main thing is that I don't want to waste time in this solo fight, and there are a lot of variables in this process, and I don't want to take risks, so I found you directly, and you happen to be the tenth of the hidden dragon, which perfectly meets the requirements. ”

Chen Jiuyou pondered for a long time, but he still didn't agree.

Duanmu Lei had no choice but to throw out his killer move, and he approached Chen Jiuyou's ear and said:

"If you are willing to participate, I can find a way to let Yu Baifei regain his freedom."

Chen Jiuyou glanced at him suspiciously, meaning that you can really do it?

Duanmu Lei explained: "Do you know what the surname of the master of the Heavenly Shogunate is? ”

Before Chen Jiuyou could ask, he replied, "The surname is Duanmu." ”

Hearing this information, Chen Jiuyou's eyes lit up, and he directly climbed on Duanmu Lei's shoulder and said, "Of course there is no problem, the deal." Duanmu Lei will be good brothers in the future. ”

Duanmu Lei: "???? ”

Brother, where did you go with your reserve just now?

Chen Jiuyou asked the question he was interested in: "Then who are the people in our group?" ”

Duanmu Lei replied honestly: "Uh...... It's just the three of us at the moment. After speaking, he pointed to himself, and then to Chen Jiuyou and Yu Baifei.

"That's two people left?" Chen Jiuyou muttered, "Then who are the remaining two looking for?" If we want to get a good place, our teammates have to be strong. ”

He didn't have any good candidates in his heart, and there weren't too many young warriors he knew in Shuizhou.

Duanmu Lei said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have already selected the candidates, I will take you to meet in the afternoon." ”

After saying that, he stood up and said, "I still have some things to do, so I won't bother you brothers to catch up." ”

When he walked out of the door, Duanmu Lei seemed to think of something, and reminded Chen Jiuyou: "Chen Jiuyou, you will be in trouble recently, after all, your current position as the tenth place of the hidden dragon is fragrant in the eyes of others." Be careful, don't lose this place. ”

Chen Jiuyou nodded solemnly, obviously he also thought of this, but he was confident in his strength, and turned his head to drink with Yu Baifei, and the two brothers talked about what happened recently.

………

After Duanmu Lei came out of the inn, his figure flashed and blended into the crowd, and soon came to a dark place.

He took out the jade pendant in his arms, and after the jade pendant shone brightly, a middle-aged man's voice came from it:

"Would he like to participate?"

Duanmu Lei nodded and replied respectfully: "Back to the mansion master, he agreed." ”

"Well done."
