Chapter 168: Imperial Emissary
Seeing the remnants of the defeated men, Zhou Wu guessed that there was someone behind the young man to help, otherwise how could he explain this fiasco. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
I can't help him think so, I'm afraid that all people with clear thinking will calculate like this, otherwise, can just a little ghost in the body refining realm resist this huge force?
However, the white-haired old man who had been abolished, and the other middle-aged man who had survived, their report shocked Zhou Wu to the point of being unprecedented, losing so many manpower, and also dying a monk of the second realm of condensing qi, such a tragic result was really done by the young man alone, which was shocking and inexplicable.
Just in the realm of refining the body, he has reached the "consummation of the body and the condensation of the spirit" that only exists in ancient books, and with such strength, he can hardly shake the monks of the second realm of condensation, and even kill in the end.
And that Lin Fan also got an evil inheritance, he can devour the flesh and blood essence of others, and even the vitality obtained from hard cultivation, although the exercises are evil, but in this world of the weak and the strong, if you have the strength, you can be the strongest, and being able to get such a powerful exercise is enough to show the luck of that young man.
The most important thing is how old the young man named Lin Fan is, and at such a weak age, he can reach such a level, which is amazing and even more enviable.
With such terrifying talent and potential, even if it is a great force of the Great Chu Dynasty, there are not many people who can compare with it.
Although, the boy finally jumped into the magma lake, but there is no certainty that he is really dead, if the boy suddenly comes back, he will definitely shine 100% in the Qingyang City Competition, if he wins the first place in the Qingyang City Competition, then their Black Underworld Sect's plan to seize Qingyang City may also fall through.
At that moment, Zhou Wu's killing intent was extremely strong, and this was the first time he was afraid of a person, and this person was just a teenager.
Just when he was surging with murderous intent and wanted to pay a huge price to kill the young man desperately, the white-haired old man's continued retribution surprised him, they actually met a demon king, and it was this demon king that made the white-haired old man cut off one of his arms and abolish his cultivation.
If this is the case, Zhou Wu also feels that it is just that, although the demon king is mostly in the depths of the 100,000 mountains, he will also appear in the peripheral areas from time to time, and the people under his command can only be regarded as unlucky.
But when the white-haired old man finished speaking, Zhou Wu's eyes were about to pop out, the demon king and a mysterious girl were actually looking for Lin Fan, although they had not named him, but the situation at that time was obvious, they came out of the depths of the wasteland forest for Lin Fan, which made people inexplicably contact.
It is impossible to guess the specifics, but the fear in Zhou Wu's heart is getting deeper and deeper, all because of a teenager.
He didn't let people enter the wasteland forest again, but just let people guard the Daqing Mountain Range, which is the boundary of the wasteland forest, if the young man came back, he would definitely pass there, and he strengthened the eyeliner of the gates of Qingyang City, as long as Lin Fan returned to Qingyang City, he would immediately know about it.
And now, nearly two months have passed, and the young man is still silent, and when the Qingyang City Competition was on the first day, Zhou Wu's heart was still bumpy for a long time, for fear that the young man would suddenly appear.
This may sound a little ridiculous, he is a dignified general of Qingyang City, holds the power of soldiers and horses, and is one of the protectors of the Black Underworld Sect, secretly has a strong power, and he is actually afraid of a young man, but this is indeed the case, Zhou Wu is full of jealousy in his heart, and it is hard to imagine how strong Lin Fan will be after he grows up.
But today, it was the third day of Dabi, and there was still no trace of Lin Fan, which made Zhou Wu nervous, and at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the wasteland forest was full of dangers, and the young man might have been buried there, and it was more likely to be killed by the demon king who was looking for him.
If this is the case, it is tantamount to solving his serious trouble, so that he has no worries.
In the center of the arena, the competition of sixteen rings had already begun, and Zhou Wu's eyes fell on a young man in black, and his eyes flashed with a strong look of anticipation, it was his son.
For this Qingyang City Competition, Zhou Wu can be said to have poured a huge price into his son, so that the latter's cultivation reached the second realm of Qi Condensation, and there is no doubt that his son is definitely one of the most promising people in the Great Competition.
And the strongest obstacle is only Lin Wei, the first person of the Lin family.
As far as Zhou Wu knew, Lin Wei had indeed broken the confinement and reached the Qi Condensation Realm by himself, and this breakthrough was accumulated and extremely solid, as if he had laid a solid foundation.
This kind of person is gifted, and he is often able to fight beyond the ranks, which is very extraordinary, and he can't hold his peers up.
Zhou Wu sighed in his heart, it was amazing that there were two geniuses in the Lin family, but he didn't worry too much about this, because the championship of this big competition would definitely belong to his son Zhou Xian.
Zhou Wu's gaze turned to another young man, his eyes flickered with coldness, it was Lin Wei, the first person of the Lin family.
And sitting in the central seat with the city lord of Qingyang City is an old man with kind eyebrows, the sky blue star robe is extravagant, and the heads of many families around look here, all with respect and expectation, because this old man is a messenger sent by the imperial dynasty.
The reason why many family heads were so excited was not only because the old man was an envoy of the dynasty, but also because he was a strong man who came out of the Star Palace, and his cultivation was extremely terrifying.
The Hall of Stars, which is one of the foundations of the Great Chu Dynasty, specializes in absorbing and cultivating outstanding talents, and the people who come out of there are all strong.
And the old man was dressed in a sky blue star robe, obviously an elder-level figure of the Star Palace, and his status was noble enough to be comparable to the city lord of Qingyang City, or even far surpassing.
In the competitions of each county and city, only the only winner in the end can participate in the genius battle of the imperial capital, which naturally leads to the loss of many good talents, and one of the rights that the imperial envoy can exercise is to select the good geniuses among them, and after some tests, they can obtain the cultivation of the Star Palace.
The existence of the Star Palace, in the eyes of many families in Qingyang City, is like a behemoth, if their own children can be valued, then the future situation will not be much worse than the champion of Qingyang City, and it may even be better.
Because of this, the talents of each family are very excited, hoping that their children will be lucky and be favored by the old man from the Star Palace.
The old man leaned back in his chair, looking very lazy, squinting his eyes as if he was dozing, as if he was not interested in the game in the middle of the arena, but in the squinted eyes, there were occasional flashes of essence.
Obviously, the old man in the star robe is still paying attention to the game, and the performance of the top 32 people can't escape his eyes.
On the right hand side of the city lord Ye Wentian, there are two women, who are actually no more than twenty-eight years old, with bright eyes and bright teeth, beautiful posture, and full of youthful atmosphere.
"Sister Xiaoqing, this is the third day, where is the person you are talking about?" spoke of a woman in a red Luo skirt, although she was sitting, she was still curvaceous, showing a beautiful posture, her face was bright, white as jade, and she leaned into the ear of another girl at this moment and whispered.
"I don't know!"
The other girl shook her head in distress, she was Ye Xiaoqing, the daughter of the city lord of Qingyang City, at this moment, she was not as depressed as she was in the wasteland forest that day, her white clothes were flawless, and she was very beautiful.
But at this time, Ye Xiaoqing frowned slightly, she watched everyone in the top 32 over and over again, but there was no figure of the young man at the beginning, which made her feel very lost.
"Brother Lin, where are you?" Ye Xiaoqing muttered in her heart, she had heard that Lin Fan would participate in the big competition in Qingyang City, so she was looking forward to it at this moment.
After being escorted back to the city by two guards that day, Ye Xiaoqing had inquired about Lin Fan.
She was very smart, she knew Lin Fan's surname, coupled with her extraordinary strength, she judged that Lin Fan was likely to be from the Lin family, but she really guessed correctly, but she was surprised when she got a detailed report.
Brother Lin, whose strength and talent are extraordinary, is actually called a "waste" who can't cultivate in the Lin family.
This made Ye Xiaoqing very incomprehensible, she didn't believe that Lin Fan was a "waste" in people's mouths, because she had witnessed Lin Fan's strength, strong and domineering, if Brother Lin came to participate in the big competition in Qingyang City, he would definitely shine, and the top thirty-two would definitely have his position.
Thinking of the title of "Brother Lin", Ye Xiaoqing suddenly blushed, because she knew something, Lin Fan seemed to be younger than her, remembering that she called Lin Fan like this back then, suddenly a little heart was like a deer, shy, and difficult to see people.
I really don't know what I should call Lin Fan when I see him in the future!
The woman in the red dress on the side was observant, and when she saw Ye Xiaoqing's face blushing, she immediately teased in a low voice: "Sister Xiaoqing, you shouldn't be Sichun, you like that young man!"
"Sister Chu, what are you talking about?" Hearing this, Ye Xiaoqing's jade face rose red, and her crystal eyes were a little evasive.
Seeing this, the woman in the red dress became curious, wanting to see what kind of character that young man was, and she could never forget Sister Xiaoqing.
Although thinking like this, the woman in the red dress had a comprehensive thought, and advised: "Sister Xiaoqing, you said that you saw him in the wasteland forest at the beginning, but now two months have passed, and there is no news, the wasteland forest is dangerous, he may have ......!"
In the last sentence, the woman in the red dress did not say it completely, but the meaning was already obvious, the wasteland forest is an extremely dangerous place, and there are countless powerful demon beasts, maybe the young man has been buried in the belly of the demon beast.
"No, it won't!"
Ye Xiaoqing's face receded, his eyes became extremely firm, his black eyes looked at the woman in the red dress, and said stubbornly: "Brother Lin will be fine, I also believe that he will definitely rush back to participate in the Qingyang City Competition!"
The woman in the red dress was stunned for a moment, not knowing where Ye Xiaoqing's confidence came from, but the expectations in her heart for the young man became stronger and stronger.
