Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Eve of the Engagement

It is said that when the Martial Continent was still the Continent of Gods and Demons, the human race had just been born from the aura of heaven and earth, and it was very weak and did not know the way of cultivation, many races or demon beasts would come to hunt and eat the human race, treating the human race as blood food. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the primeval period, there is a kind of ferocious monsters, scattered in the deep mountains and dense forests, the ancient ancestors called them the year beast, the appearance of the year beast is terrifying, the nature is ferocious, the special food birds and beasts, the scale insects and pigs, a day to change a taste, from the kowtow insect to the big living people, let people talk about the change of the year.

Legend has it that in ancient times, every time at midnight at a certain time in winter, the Nian Beast would attack the village of the ancient ancestors, and the human race at that time did not know how to cultivate, so all the villages occupied by the Nian Beast suffered a brutal massacre, with horns on the head and strong limbs, and sharp claws as slaughter weapons. After the slaughter, the Nian Beast will eat everyone's heads, but the Nian Beast has a very strange personality and does not eat the dead, so in order to prevent someone from escaping after swindling the corpse, the Nian Beast pretends to leave the village and turns back to slaughter the survivors, and even causes the village to shake violently. Even babies and children are not immune. Later, I somehow learned what the Nian beast was afraid of.

The ancient ancestors took advantage of the three weaknesses of the Nian Beast that were afraid of red, loud noise, and firelight, and set off firecrackers and stickers to drive away the attack of the Nian Beast. In order to prevent the harassment of the year beast again, set off firecrackers, used for intimidation or hunting, and finally the human race began to know how to cultivate, and after the strength slowly became stronger, it was no longer afraid of the year beast, but this custom that had been passed down for many years was retained, and the ancient sages named this day 'year' in order to let the later human race remember the day when the human race suffered humiliation.

The custom of the Warrior Continent has been preserved since the human race established the overlord of the continent, and the things of the ancestors cannot be forgotten.

Wu Ran has been staying in the palace since he agreed to join the Xingchen Sect, as for the Panlong Conference, he didn't plan to participate, after all, the New Year is approaching, he agreed, and after the New Year, he set off with Elder Wang to the Xingchen Sect station, and he went for three years, to be honest, he was really a little reluctant.

However, being in such an era, and such things happened around him, it was destined that he would not be able to be lazy and stop, so during this time, he wanted to stay with Murong Ling, and Murong Ling would not have much time in a while.

Originally, Mu Wangfu wanted to let Murong Fu win the top ten positions in the Panlong Conference, and then join the Holy Pole Gate, even if the Holy Pole Gate did not make a move, he could also use the power of the Holy Pole Gate to force Murong Aotian to abdicate.

However, Xingchen Sect suddenly came out of the mountain, and he took a fancy to Wuran, and wanted to establish Wuran as the new generation of big disciples, and he was caught off guard.

Wu Ran is the only son-in-law of Murong Aotian's lineage, and now he is favored by the supreme ruler of the Aolong Empire and accepted as a disciple, so even if Murong Fu can win and enter the Holy Pole Gate, he will not be able to change the royal status of Murong Aotian's lineage.

Because no matter how powerful the Holy Pole Gate is, it is also stronger and limited than the Xingchen Sect, and the location of the Holy Pole Gate is thousands of miles away from the Aolong Empire, although the Xingchen Sect is also not very close, it is still much better than the Holy Pole Gate, plus the Xingchen Sect itself is the ruler of the Aolong Empire, compared to the prestige and control in the Aolong Empire, the Xingchen Sect can throw off the Holy Pole Gate a few streets.

It's gratifying, because Xingchen Sect is supporting his waist, Murong Ling has become the prince of the Proud Dragon Empire by default, and Mu Wangfu can only shrink silently, hoping that Murong Fu can get the top ten in the Panlong Conference, otherwise Murong Mu's vein is afraid that it will be dangerous.

As long as Murong Fu can enter the Holy Pole Gate, Murong Mu will no longer make any trouble, and Murong Aotian will not dare not give the Holy Pole Gate a face, after all, the Xingchen Sect will not be willing to forcibly offend the Holy Pole Gate, the only neutral first-tier force.

But if Murong Fu does not enter the top ten, with Murong Aotian's temper, he will definitely kill Murong Mu's vein, after all, Murong Ling has been assassinated several times, as Murong Aotian's only daughter, Murong Aotian will definitely make such a choice, with the support of Xingchen Sect, it is not good to say that even Murong Fu's master will be involved.

Then there was the engagement banquet between Wuran and Murong Ling, the 'Immortal Sutra' Xingchen Sect also promised to help Wuran go to the Holy Pole Gate to exchange it, and joining the Xingchen Sect was also considered to have completed the task of the royal ancestor, the two of them are still too young now, and they are not suitable for getting married immediately, plus they want to make Murong Ling the first empress of the Aolong Empire, and if they get married immediately, they will give others a feeling of marrying a daughter and sending the empire.

Originally, the engagement banquet also required the presence of both parents, but the situation of Wuran and Murong Ling was a bit special, both mothers died due to accidents, and Wuran's father was in retreat.

In a garden, Wu Ran sat under a tree with Murong Ling in his arms, although it was already winter, cultivators naturally had their own methods to change the climate, so this garden bloomed with beautiful flowers all year round, and the trees were evergreen and full of beauty.

"It's been almost two years. Wu Ran looked at the blue sky, his eyes were a little confused, as if he remembered something.

"Yes, hehe, who would have thought that the former abandoned boy would actually grow up to be the best in his peers?" Murong Ling chuckled lightly, arching in Wuran's arms like a kitten.

"I can't say that I won the championship, just this Panlong Conference, there are countless people who have cultivated higher than me. Wu Ran laughed at himself, and then said: "The continent is so big, in addition to the human race, there are too many races left over from ancient times, and my cultivation is much worse than them." ”

"The guy named Wu Ming at the Panlong Conference is probably able to crush my existence, and against him, I have no chance of winning even if I play all my hole cards. "Wu Ran smiled a little bitterly and helplessly, his cultivation and combat ability seem to be strong, but it is still much worse than those people, after all, he is only a martial artist five grades, counting the secret technique of temporarily increasing his strength, it is just a short confrontation with the martial artist seven grades, without 'Ba Wushuang' and 'Seven Killing Steps', then there is no chance to defeat the opponent at all.

He didn't know where the masked young man named Wu Ming had reached, but if he stood in front of that guy, although he would not lose his fighting spirit and be knocked away by someone, he would definitely have no chance of winning, after all, his cultivation was too bad, and it was not something that could be made up for by his fighting consciousness.

"Brother Ran is already very powerful, when we first met, you were still a frail teenager who was abolished, and it has only been more than a year or two that you have reached a cultivation that ordinary people may not be able to achieve in a lifetime, and you are already very strong. Murong Ling said softly, her tone was a little proud, it is not easy for both parties to fall in love before the marriage in a political marriage, and the thin boy who looked a little weak back then has also become a genius warrior who can now decide the replacement of a royal family, although Murong Ling is not a girl who cares too much about cultivation, as a princess, he has seen a lot of geniuses, but her future husband is talented and not weaker than ordinary people, she is still very happy.
