On the Xiangjiang River, dozens of large ships are moored on the shore, the lights on the boats are reflected, and the firelight is reflected through the river, which perfectly creates a "sparkling" beautiful picture of the Xiangjiang River, which is intoxicating.

On both sides of the river bank is a wide road, and the pedestrians on the road are weaving, shouting and drinking, looking for fun. The taverns, gambling houses, and auction houses on the street are all open to guests. The candles of every household are flickering, and the lights are sleepless, which has turned this northern city of Xiaoxiang into a city that never sleeps.

The famous Chang'an is just prosperous, right? Xiao Yun pillowed his arm, guessing wildly, and let Luo Hu ask Liao Yu about the news of the Shenzhou Martial Arts Association.

Half an hour later, when he saw a group of more than a dozen people finally coming out of the alleyway, Xiao Yun only felt funny. I thought that this Liao Yu was also kind, although he looked polite and polite, and he looked like a hypocrite, but he was quite reliable in doing things.

After another person looked at the people on the street boredly for a while, Luo Hu finally stopped asking. During this period, Xiao Yun looked at the scenery outside the ship, while paying attention to the conversation between Liao Yu and Luo Hu, and also had some understanding of this "Shenzhou Martial Arts Association".

The Yanhua Empire is only one of the ten kingdoms under the jurisdiction of Chixian Shenzhou, an empire with medium national strength.

In Chixian Shenzhou, in order to promote the cultivation of the people, and also to select outstanding talents and cultivate fresh blood for the empire, the leaders of the ten countries of Kyushu decided to hold a "Shenzhou Martial Arts Conference" every three years, and took out a large number of rich prizes to attract martial arts cultivators from all walks of life in Chixian Shenzhou to participate.

At that time, the major sects and gangs and countless scattered martial artists will gather together to meet friends with martial arts, and at the same time, they will also compete for the ranking of the Shenzhou Martial Arts Association.

Over the years, countless martial cultivators have soared into the sky with the Shenzhou Martial Arts Association, and because of their outstanding performance, they can not only get rich rewards, but also be favored by big forces such as empires and sects, and since then they have leapt into the dragon gate and become famous.

Of course, there are risks in everything that has rewards, and opportunities and challenges always coexist. For so many years, there has been no shortage of martial cultivators in the Shenzhou Martial Arts Association who have been severely injured or even killed directly, and such people have often collapsed since then, and can only become a stepping stone to the success of others.

Even so, the annual Shenzhou Martial Arts Association still makes countless people crazy, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are eager to do so.

What's even more interesting is that the rules of the Shenzhou Martial Arts Association are slightly different from the ordinary convention. From Liao Yu's mouth, Xiao Yun learned that the Shenzhou Martial Arts Association actually arranged different competition systems by age group, that is to say, martial arts cultivators of a certain age group could only compete with martial artists of the same age group, which greatly guaranteed the fairness principle of the Shenzhou Martial Arts Association.

At the same time, it is also conducive to the major forces to better analyze the talent of martial cultivators.

Thinking about it, Xiao Yun actually faintly imagined the wonderful martial arts competition at the Shenzhou Martial Arts Conference, and he couldn't help but feel a little enthusiastic in his heart. Watching the flow of people on the street on the shore, even he couldn't help but start yearning for this grand event of Kyushu and ten countries.

"I just don't know what the reward of this conference will be?What kind of talented demons will participate?" Xiao Yun's thoughts fluttered, and his eager state of mind made him a little excited, this kind of conference should be able to increase his knowledge, and he can see how talented he is, he thought.

At this moment, a Yuan Li sound came from outside the ship, and only Xiao Yun and the three of them could hear it: "Friends on the boat, I wonder if you can let Zhao come in and talk about it?"

Yuanli Transmission!The person who came was actually the Yuyuan Realm!

"Zhao Wenbin?!, the city lord of Beicheng!" Liao Yu, who had always been as cold as ice, was also moved.

However, before Liao Yu got up and went out to deal with it, Zhao Wenbin had already come uninvited, pushed open the hatch and walked in slowly, and without being introduced, he came directly to Luo Hu and sat down.

Holding down the Leng Yue blade sheath with his left hand and holding the handle of the knife with his right hand, Luo Hu's face was cloudy, and from the moment Zhao Wenbin came in, Luo Hu's eyes had been locked on him.

Xiao Yun also tightened the cloth belt that tied the iron box, and while preparing to flee for his life at any time, he looked at the people who came. Zhao Wenbin was wearing an extremely ordinary gray robe, with a square face and thick eyebrows, and his appearance could only be described as ordinary. If it weren't for his cultivation strength, I'm afraid no one would be able to connect him with the city lord of Xiaoxiang North City.

Zhao Wenbin didn't wait for Liao Yu, the host, to open his mouth to entertain, so he picked up the teacup on the low table and took two sips first.

After scanning up and down, Xiao Yun found that Zhao Wenbin was not carrying a weapon, but this did not explain the other party's intention, after all, high-level martial arts cultivators had storage space with him, and Zhao Wenbin just put away the weapon.

"Yuyuan Realm, the city lord of Beicheng, plus the general who guards the city, doesn't this mean that only Xiaoxiang Beicheng is a neighboring city of the imperial capital, and there are two masters of Yuyuan Realm on the surface!"

Luo Hu and Zhao Wenbin sat opposite each other, one holding a blade and the other tasting fragrant tea. Although the two of them did not make a move on the surface, only Xiao Yun and Liao Yu knew that their momentum had fought no less than ten times in this small cabin.

It was precisely because of the momentum of Zhao Luo and the others that they continued to pour into each other, causing Xiao Yun and Liao Yu to turn pale and have some difficulty breathing. This is still in the case that Zhao Luo is just testing each other and not really making a move, if the two officially confront, Xiao Yun has no doubt that he can only immediately inject his soul into the iron box and stimulate the life-saving means left by his father.

"City Lord?" Luo Hu was seriously injured after all, although he could use the strength of the Yuan Soul Realm to crush the opponent, but after all, it couldn't last, and if the injury was triggered, he would fall behind.

Zhao Wenbin nodded, put down the teacup, and looked directly at Luo Hu.

"Why did you come?" Luo Hu frowned, he couldn't see the purpose of the other party's trip clearly.

"After January, the Shenzhou Martial Arts Conference will be held, and the major forces of the ten countries of Kyushu will send representatives to the capital city of Chang'an. Zhao Wenbin slowly turned the teacup and squeaked, he didn't answer Luo Hu's question, but just said to himself.

Luo Hu was puzzled.

"The palace has changed dramatically, and the royal family is different. Although the news is blocked, many high-level forces still get the news and are ready to move. ”

Luo Hu knew that Zhao Wenbin was talking about the emperor being seriously ill and dying, but he was still puzzled.

"Princess Qingcheng was recalled to Chang'an, and the 'Three Mountains and Five Mountains' went to the imperial capital together, and the wind and clouds are intended to rise again. ”

"What? Qingcheng returned to Chang'an? When did it happen?" Even though he was coerced by a huge momentum, as soon as he heard the news of Princess Qingcheng, Xiao Yun immediately became calm.

Three questions were thrown out in a row, and Luo Hu and Zhao Wenbin frowned and looked at Xiao Yun almost at the same time, but their expressions were different.

"Childe" Liao Yu also looked at Xiao Yun playfully, and hummed in his heart: Silly boy, can't you see the situation clearly?

"Seven days ago, you walked the Baijiang Plain with your front foot, and you arrived in Yucheng with your back foot. ”

Zhao Wenbin calmly answered Xiao Yun's question, without a trace of annoyance in his words.

Eyes moved back to Zhao Wenbin, Luo Hu was even more puzzled, is this person friend or foe?
