An ancient temple, standing on the east side of the ancient city, there are pavilions and pavilions, red walls and green tiles, the vicissitudes of life are ancient, antique, this ancient temple is established with the establishment of the ancient city, it has also a history of thousands of years, on the golden tower at the highest place in the temple, there is an ancient bell hanging, the ancient bell is golden, the same age and month as the existence of the ancient temple and the ancient city, it has been preserved so far, it is still intact as before, it has never been worn!

A monk wearing a monk's robe is ringing the ancient bell, the bell is long, thick and majestic, adding a touch of color to the quiet ancient city, and adding a little more charm in it!

The sound of the piano comes from the streets in the city, and the sound of the piano comes out of the green building and the piano building in the street, and the aftersound surrounds the ears, which makes people intoxicated and want to die!

A group of people walked in the ancient city, stepping on the stone bricks of the historic streets, walking towards the city step by step, there were several young and handsome sons in this line, one of them in white was the most eye-catching, like standing out from the crowd, dazzling, so that many passing women stared at him for a long time, and their eyes could not move!

Beside the man in white, there was a burly, bronzed-skinned, indifferent young man dressed in black, although the young man's face was handsome, but because of indifference and exuded wisps of evil, some people who looked at him were frightened, and they couldn't help but feel that this person was a fierce person!

In the team, there are several women, like the boy in white, among the women, there is also a person with a beautiful face, bright eyes and bright teeth, slim and elegant, captivating the country and the city, ice muscles and jade bones, the whole person is as pure and clean as a clear lotus, people are salivating and thinking about it when they see her!

At the front of the team, there were two or three old men and a young man, two of whom were talking and laughing, and the other old man and young man looked indifferent, looking out of place with the whole team!

This group of people is Xiang Yunsheng and others from the Xiangya Sword Sect.

The boy in white is Xiang Yunsheng, next to him is Gu Shiming, the beautiful woman is Xiang Nuolan, several old men in the team are Zhao Wuming and other elders, and the young man standing next to Zhao Wuming is Zhao Kuo.

Now that six days have passed, there is only one day left before the Shangyang competition, and Xiang Yunsheng and others have also come to this ancient city.

This ancient city is called Shangyang City, it is the royal capital of Shangyang Kingdom, the magnificent and vast palace is located in the center of the city, the whole palace is splendid, shining, magnificent, at the same time, at the moment of entering the palace, you can also feel the simple and elegant, unique style of the palace style, which makes people full of praise and forget to return!

A group of people walked on the streets of Shangyang City, for some reason, horses and carriages are forbidden in Shangyang City, the huge ancient city, only people are allowed to walk in it, violators will be severely punished!

Zhao Kuo faintly turned his head and glanced at Xiang Yunsheng, who was laughing, he turned his head, his eyes were full of coldness, he swore that he must let Xiang Yunsheng die without a place to be buried!

Zhao Wuming looked at Zhao Kuo and said lightly: "Before going to Xuanyang Academy, don't move any thoughts, now that he has broken through to the Lingquan realm, you can't be his opponent without unleashing the power of the evil god!" Zhao Kuo's eyes were cold, and he nodded slightly, which was to gradually restrain his coldness.

The group walked towards the palace, this time the location of the Shangyang competition was in the palace competition square, the royal family has asked a special person to set up a special bedroom for them, they will rest in the palace for a day, preparing for tomorrow's Shangyang competition.

Soon, before the group came to the palace, looking at the golden palace gate, and a group of armored figures patrolling around the palace, Zhao Wuming said lightly: "After entering, don't make a loud noise, this is the palace, not the Sword Sect!" Everyone nodded, and then, under the leadership of Zhao Wuming, walked to the team guarding the gate of the palace, Zhao Wuming took out the Sword Sect token and the invitation and said, "We are the people of the Xiangya Sword Sect. ”

The captain of the soldiers guarding the door took a look, then bowed respectfully and said, "Welcome." He turned to look at his team members and said, "Open the door." The team members nodded, slowly pushed the door open, and then stood on both sides and said, "Everyone, please!" ”

Zhao Wuming and the others nodded, and then entered it, and then the door was closed again.

Walking in the palace, all of a sudden, the sound of the streets outside became much weaker, and after walking for a while, there was no more sound, only the chirping of birds flying by in the sky from time to time!

Zhao Wuming and his party walked, and from time to time there would be some palace maids and eunuchs walking by, they all lowered their heads, maintained a humble and low appearance, and would not look up at people, and when they walked to Zhao Wuming and others, they just bowed their heads and bowed, that is, they walked away, orderly, from beginning to end, no one opened their mouths to say a word!

Xiang Yunsheng and the others also looked solemn, did not speak, followed behind Zhao Wuming and other elders, and walked towards the main hall of the palace step by step.

Soon, the group came to the front of the main hall, standing respectfully outside the steps of the main hall, looking at the hall intertwined with vermilion and gold, everyone only felt magnificent!

Soon, the eunuch who reported shouted in the main hall: "The people of the Xiangya Sword Sect. One voice after another came out, very loud, and after Zhao Wuming and the others heard it, they slowly stepped on the stairs, passed through the corridor in front of the palace, and walked into the palace.

When everyone walked into the palace, the first thing that caught their eyes was a middle-aged man sitting on the dragon chair, wearing a golden dragon robe, with a tiger's head and swallow jaw, who was not angry and arrogant. ”

This middle-aged man is the lord of Shangyang Country, and the current saint: Murong Xiu!

Everyone stood firm, and they all bowed down and said, "I have seen the saint!" Murong Xiu raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite. Zhao Wuming and the others straightened up, and Zhao Wuming took a step forward and said, "Holy Lord, this is a little bit of my Sword Sect's heart. After speaking, he took out a treasure box from the ring and handed it to the eunuch.

The eunuch took it and walked to Murong Xiu and offered it with both hands.

Murong Xiu opened the treasure box, only to see that there was an elixir in it, it was an elixir that had reached the half-step spiritual sea, although this elixir did not have much effect on Murong Xiu, but it was also extremely precious, there were not many in the entire Shangyang Kingdom, and he was naturally very happy to be offered by Zhao Wuming!

"Okay, I'll take it, everyone, take a seat." Murong Xiu said with a smile, Zhao Wuming and the others nodded, and they took their seats.

Xiang Yunsheng took a seat, he looked around the entire hall, around them, there were still many people sitting, these people were also from outside the palace, they were the other four major forces of the Shangyang Kingdom, they were all looking at Xiang Yunsheng and the others, there was sarcasm in their eyes, in their opinion, this lineup of the Xiangya Sword Sect was really too shabby!

Xiang Yunsheng glanced at it, most of them were people from the first realm of Lingquan, but among the four forces, there were actually three or four of them from each force who reached the second realm of Lingquan, one or two from the third realm of Lingquan, and two from the fourth realm of Lingquan, respectively from the Floating Cloud Sword Sect and the Yehua Sect!

These four people with a power that surpassed the Lingquan Realm combined had a total of twenty, five more than they had originally budgeted!

Xiang Nuolan sat next to him and said, "It's a little tricky. Xiang Yunsheng nodded slightly, there is only one Lingquan Second Realm, one Lingquan Third Realm, and one Lingquan Fourth Realm on their side, including him, there is no problem in winning four places, but most of the other places will fall into the hands of the remaining four sects!

Although the quota does not have much weight, it involves a battle of forces, and the disciple getting the quota will be related to the future development of the sect!

For example, if all the people in their Xiangya Sword Sect get the quota, and there are no less than ten people who enter the Xuanyang Academy, then their Xiangya Sword Sect can take advantage of the situation to become the number one force in the Shangyang Kingdom, because of these disciples, the position of the Sword Sect will be very strong, and there will be more resources in their hands!

And in the future, with these disciples as a bridge, there will be more disciples who will enter Xuanyang Academy, which is why Xiang Nuolan and Xiang Yunsheng will value the quota!

This is related to the status and resources of the power, and the interests of the sect!
