Chapter 81: In the limelight
After Li Zhen and his grandfather finalized the cooperation with Tianchenzong, the two sides made some detailed arrangements, and then Li Zhen and his grandfather resigned and left.
Zhou Qian returned directly to his residence, as for the Tianchen Club's game, because Li Zhen did not participate, he was not interested in watching the game as an old-timer. Li Zhen did not follow, but decided to take advantage of everyone's attention to the conference competition, wander around, and refine the plan of action for the future.
However, it didn't take long for Li Zhen to suddenly realize that someone was following him, and he was alert, and slowly led him to an inaccessible place, and suddenly snorted coldly: "Who is sneaky? Come out for me! ”
Before the words fell, Li Zhen had already made a lightning shot, and slapped a volley to somewhere behind him.
Li Zhen's movements were fast and fast, and the people hiding in the shadows obviously couldn't react, so they exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly dodged, looking quite embarrassed.
Fortunately, Li Zhen had no murderous intentions, but just forced out the other party, so the person who was following was not injured.
A woman in white fell to the ground, and Li Zhen was surprised when she saw this.
The woman is naturally beautiful and is a rare beauty, but she exudes a cold aura and a sense of rejection.
Li Zhen is actually not a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and he is not greedy for beauty, so he frowned and asked, "Who are you?" Why are you following me?! ”
The woman was Meng Bingqi, who became a political victim, and I saw her stand up, pretend to be calm, and say, "I'm Meng Bingqi." ”
Dream Bingqi?
"You are the disciple of the Jian Palace Master?"
Li Zhen had heard of Meng Bingqi, after all, he was a leader of his generation, but he didn't have a chance to see him, but he saw it today, and he had to say that the rumors were true, and he was indeed an iceberg beauty.
At this time, Li Zhen was very embarrassed, the other party is now his fiancée, what he did just now is really a little inappropriate, although it is not strange for those who don't know, but it is obviously not a good sign that the two met for the first time to make such an embarrassing thing.
"You're looking for me?"
Li Zhen is still wearing the 'Thousand Faces' mask, the other party can recognize him, obviously he has been following him for a long time, and he has been following him since he left the council hall, but he was too involved in things before and didn't pay much attention to her.
"I'm here to talk to you."
Meng Bingqi said in a cold voice.
Li Zhen saw that this was not a good lord to serve, but fortunately, there was no need to cultivate any feelings in political marriage, nodded and said, "Okay, it's better to find a place to talk about it."
"No!"
Meng Bingqi directly refused, and continued: "I came here to tell you that the two of us are a political marriage, limited to nominal husband and wife, if we are together in the future, I hope to stop at courtesy and not interfere with each other." ”
So direct!
When Li Zhen heard this, he was not annoyed at all, nodded, and said: "Actually, you can tell your master that you don't agree with this marriage, if you have any scruples, I can find an opportunity to bring it up, in fact, it doesn't matter at all whether there is this marriage or not." ”
Tianchen Sect and Moon Worship Palace want to marry him, which is nothing more than to get a greater reward in the future.
In Li Zhen's opinion, there is no need to make a marriage, as long as he is obedient and loyal, Li Zhen will definitely not be treated badly. But then again, after all, the marriage was proposed by them, and if they didn't agree, it would inevitably make the other party think more, so for the sake of stability, Li Zhen would not hesitate to agree, which can be regarded as a reassuring pill for the two factions.
Li Zhen said this, Meng Bingqi was very happy, and her cold face showed joy, but she quickly thought of something, as if she had some scruples, shook her head, and said: "If there is no marriage, Master will be disappointed, I don't want to disappoint Master, so in the future, you and I can stop everything."
It's really filial.
Li Zhen nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then do as you say." ”
Meng Bingqi has always been worried that her conditions will not be agreed by Li Zhen, after all, which wife in the world is used to see?
Her conditions are obviously difficult, which is why she has been following Li Zhen for a long time, but she has refused to show up, because she is really worried that Li Zhen will not agree, what should she do when the time comes?
Maybe just leave it to fate.
"Thank you!"
Meng Bingqi solemnly saluted and thanked Li Zhen, which was a heartfelt thanks.
Li Zhen didn't take the marriage seriously at all, so he was willing to fulfill his dream Bingqi.
"Since it's okay, I'm walking?"
Li Zhen said euphemistically.
Meng Bingqi is not good at socializing with people, nodding awkwardly, Li Zhen saw this and turned away.
When Li Zhen walked away, Meng Bingqi breathed a long sigh of relief, and the next moment she suddenly remembered something, and she was suddenly startled, and she hurriedly walked towards the scene of the Tianchen Club.
She was a contestant.
There are nearly 200 contestants in Tianchenhui, which makes the conference very long, generally about ten days.
When Meng Bingqi came to Tianchenzong Shanmen Square, the competition was in full swing.
"Bingqi! What did you do?! ”
An older senior sister said anxiously.
"Senior sister! I just had something to leave. ”
Meng Bingqi said perfunctorily, and the senior sister was about to blame two sentences, not wanting an elder of the Tianchen Sect to announce the personnel of the next game.
"The next player, Qingyuanmen Wu Zheng vs. Cangshan faction Zhou Long."
As soon as the words fell, the disciples on the spectator table and the elders and sect masters of the various sects all came to their senses.
Wu Zheng is an absolute figure of the year among his peers, a cultivator in the early realm of the True Yuan, and a strong contender for the top ten or even the top five.
The news of Wu Zheng's promotion to the True Yuan Middle Realm has not yet spread.
Zhou Long is a proud disciple of the Cangshan faction, the first realm of the true yuan, nearly thirty years old, and a strong contender for the top ten and top five.
Everyone never imagined that at the beginning of the conference, a strong showdown was staged.
The news that Wu Zun and Wu Zheng had defected to the crown prince and queen did not spread, and the Cangshan faction was a hardcore prince, so as soon as the two sides entered the ring, they had a certain smell of gunpowder.
In the eyes of outsiders, although Wu Zheng and Li Zhen are at odds, he still represents Qingyuanmen outside.
"After the Zhen Palace fell into the realm, Senior Brother Wu can be said to have turned over, but now that His Royal Highness Zhen is back to the peak, is Senior Brother Wu unable to sleep again?"
As soon as Zhou Long came to power, he ridiculed Wu Zheng, and the private contest between Wu Zheng and Li Zhen, the Cangshan faction still knew it very well, after all, the Cangshan faction was a staunch supporter of Li Zhen back then.
Zhou Long's words were to expose Wu Zheng's scars, and Wu Zheng was immediately furious.
"I have raised a dog in the past two years, and I am loyal, even if I give it to others, I will run back, and I don't want to go, I understand that dogs are not two things, but unfortunately in today's world, many people are not as good as dogs."
Zhou Long was furious when he heard this.
This is to scold them for the Cangshan faction for switching to the crown prince.
At this time, the sect masters and elders of the Cangshan Sect were all present, their faces were pale, and they wanted to attack, but it was not suitable, so they could only endure it. At the same time, many spectators who heard the meaning of the words burst out laughing.
"The little bunny is looking for death!"
Zhou Long wanted to provoke Wu Zheng, but he was angered by Wu Zheng and slashed with a sword.
Wu Zheng didn't use a magic weapon with a blade, he saw that his eyes were bursting with light, and then he slapped Zhou Long with a palm, and the palm was powerful and domineering, and everyone who was watching the battle was surprised when he saw it.
"What a great palm!"
"Qingyuanmen doesn't have such a palm technique? Where did he come from?!"
"I'm afraid this palm technique has far surpassed the earth's products!"
“………………………”
There was a lot of talk.
On the ring, Wu Zheng slapped Zhou Long with a brutal palm, Zhou Long felt the power of the palm, and put away the sword to defend, but unfortunately he still underestimated the power of the palm, and under the condition of full vigilance, he was still hit by a palm and flew out, and the whole person screamed, flew out of the ring like a kite, and fell to the ground heavily.
Zhou Long spit out a mouthful of blood, looking at Wu Zheng with a smug face in the ring, extremely unwilling.
Everyone has their own opportunities.
Wu Zheng is also a person favored by God, a year ago, he happened to have a powerful palm technique, as his cultivation deepened, the palm technique became more and more powerful, and now he relied on this palm technique, even if he encountered the True Yuan Upper Realm, he had to be cautious.
"You will be defeated after I only make a palm, and you will be defeated!"
Wu Zheng's face was smug and he clenched his fists pretendically.
Zhou Long saw it in his eyes, and he was angry with a mouthful of blood, and he immediately fainted.
Wu Zheng's battle shocked everyone.
The True Yuan Primal Realm was defeated with one palm, just ask this first position, who else can compete with it?
"A Zhen Palace, Wu Zheng, it seems that Qingyuanmen is really about to rise."
An old man sighed.
As soon as the voice fell, some people had different opinions and sneered: "This is not accurate, and it is difficult for one mountain to tolerate two tigers." ”
"This is reasonable, I heard a long time ago that Wu Zheng and the Thirteen Princes were secretly competing, and Qingyuanmen was also difficult."
"It's a bit inappropriate to compete in secret, it should be .................."
One person did not say it thoroughly, but motioned to everyone to take a look at the location of the Qingyuanmen cadres and others, and everyone looked at it and immediately understood what he meant by his unspoken words.
Wu Zheng won the victory, it stands to reason that Qingyuanmen should shout loudly, but there is no movement at all on Qingyuanmen's side, this is not clear?
In fact, outsiders don't know that the reason why the Qingyuanmen and others turned a blind eye to Wu Zheng's victory was entirely because they regarded him as a traitor, what congratulations did they have for the traitor?
It's just that in the eyes of outsiders, this is a manifestation of irreconcilable internal contradictions.
Wu Zun also sensed that something was wrong, even if there was a contradiction inside, he should have done some superficial work on the outside, but this time he didn't even do superficial effort, it really shouldn't be. After thinking about it, now that Li Zhen is dead, they have to calm down and pretend that nothing happened, which also makes it difficult for them.
In this way, Wu Zun's heart was also balanced.
Wu Zheng showed the posture of vowing to win the first place on the first day, and the subsequent performance was still eye-catching, and no one could catch his palm, which can be called a sweep of the conference.
Time passed day by day, while Wu Zheng's brilliant record continued to be refreshed, his popularity also rose, and his game attracted the most attention.
In the past few days, Li Zhen has been in retreat and cultivation, and what happened in the conference competition, Chen Qing and others will also talk to him, and they learned that Wu Zheng showed his might and failed to cause the slightest wave.
"It's just a grasshopper after autumn, and it won't last a few days."
When they return to the sect, Wu Zun and Wu Zheng will be disposed of, so climbing higher at this time is not a good thing for the grandfather and grandson.
"You're right, and make him happy."
Hearing this, Chen Qing sneered.
Li Qingshan and Mu Wanjun echoed the two sentences, and then changed the topic.
"Listen to my father, you are now hitting the peak of the True Yuan Realm?"
Chen Qing asked.
"That's right!"
Li Zhen admitted: "I have a lot of pills on hand now, and it just so happens that I have free time these days, so it is better to improve my cultivation, and I am also preparing to be promoted to a human immortal this year." ”
"My goodness! You're ambitious! How old are you that you want to be promoted to a human immortal? ”
When Chen Qing and the others learned of Li Zhen's ambitions, they were all shocked.
Li Zhen is only twenty-one years old, and if he succeeds in being promoted to a human immortal, he is probably the youngest human immortal in the history of Huaguo.
Li Zhen's words are not false, he is indeed confident that he also has the capital to impact the fairyland this year.
"Tomorrow is the final, senior brother is not interested in going to see it?"
Mu Wanjun invited.
Tomorrow is the final of the Tianchen Club, and it is also the final top ten ranking battle.
Among Chen Qing, Mu Wanjun, and Li Qingshan, only Li Qingshan successfully entered the top ten ranking battle tomorrow, which is also expected, after all, Chen Qing and Mu Wanjun are still in the realm of a hundred tricks, and it is impossible to enter the top ten.
Li Qingshan's performance at this conference was very eye-catching, although it was not as shocking as Wu Zhenglai, but the steady and steady road also made him get a lot of attention, and many people predicted that he would have a chance to break into the top five.
Of course, this is the best result, but Li Qingshan himself is not optimistic about himself entering the top five.
He is not very ambitious, and he is already very happy to be in the top ten.
"Okay! Tomorrow I'll go with you to watch the finals and cheer on my brother. ”
Li Zhen has been in retreat for a few days, and he is also bored, so he just took the opportunity to go out to relax.
Mu Wanjun was very happy when she heard this.
········································
Early the next morning, the day of the decisive battle, Li Zhen did not go with Mu Wanjun and the others, but mixed into a group of loose cultivators to watch the battle, in order to cover himself.
Although Li Zhen uses 'Thousand Faces' to change his appearance, outsiders can't recognize him, but Wu Zun and Wu Zheng are very familiar with him, even if he is disguised, his temperament and figure have not changed, and it is not difficult to guess his identity, which is why since the arrival of their grandson, he has not appeared in front of people.
Li Zhen went to the audience in a group of loose cultivators, and a veiled woman in the crowd saw his back and felt very familiar, a pair of beautiful apricot eyes were bright and moving, and she ran towards Li Zhen in a hurry.
Li Zhen was patted on the shoulder, and subconsciously looked back, and his heart was shocked.
He was about to say hello to the other party, but he didn't want the other party to show a disappointed expression, and said, "I'm sorry! I recognized the wrong person. ”
Although the woman in front of her was masked, Li Zhen recognized it as Yun Linglong, who was acquainted with Cangmang Mountain.
How did she end up here? She's not Chinese? Could it be that he came specifically for the Tianchen Society?
Li Zhen wanted to recognize the other party, but he thought that he had changed his appearance with 'a thousand faces', and it was not surprising that the other party could not recognize him, and at the same time, there were so many people, he was not easy to expose himself, and he swallowed back the words when they came to his mouth.
Yun Linglong was disappointed to recognize the wrong person, but seeing that the other party's eyes flickered, obviously recognizing or recognizing herself, she thought of a possibility, and asked cautiously: "Is it you?!" ”
