Chapter 171: I hope he's an interesting opponent
readx;
There is no doubt that the real ruler behind Xuanyuan City is this Ximen lord. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½ββ
For example, Mr. Zhou Da, an ordinary deacon in the Ximen Grand Valve, may have a low status in the Ximen Grand Valve, but when he comes to Xuanyuan City, he is a guest of honor from various large and small families, and no one dares to offend at all.
However, the Ximen Grand Valve did not cover the sky with one hand, and it never interfered in the internal affairs of Xuanyuan City. In the decline, rise, intrigue, and competing interests of the various families in Xuanyuan City, the Ximen Grand Valve has never interfered, and it only collects gifts every year.
Therefore, except for the fact that the Ximen Grand Valve would send people every year when he hosted the Izumo Valley Trial that the major families in Xuanyuan City participated in every year, the Ximen Grand Valve did not even leave any people and forces in Xuanyuan City.
If it weren't for this, the title of the largest family in Xuanyuan City of the Ning family would definitely not be able to fall on his head.
The Ximen Grand Valve is in charge of the Nine Cities of Qiannan, and the reputation is not bad, and the families of all sizes in Xuanyuan City only need to pay the gifts on time and in accordance with the amount every year, and they will not be embarrassed by the Ximen Grand Valve. And every year of the Izumo Valley Trial, the winning families and family individuals will be rewarded with the generous efforts of the Ximen Lord. ββThose who are particularly outstanding in the trial will even have the opportunity to be favored by the Ximen Grand Valve, enter the Ximen family for further study, and become a disciple of the outer gate.
However, the vision of the Ximen Lord is very high. Ning Zihou has been the first person of the younger generation of the Ning family over the years, one of the famous geniuses in Xuanyuan City, and Ning Xingbi is also openly and secretly, taking relationships and giving gifts, hoping to send Ning Zihou to the Ximen family for further study. However, Ning Zihou has not been able to follow the eyes of the Ximen Valve.
Because although Ning Zihou had won the first place in the Izumo Valley Trial for several consecutive years, he was in the "Nine Cities Competition" held every three years. Failed even the first test twice in a row.
The "Nine Cities Competition" is a competition that gathers all the young elites of Qiannan Nine Cities, and it is also the main way for Ximen Dawang to select talents. Ning Zihou's performance naturally can't be favored by the Ximen Valve.
Over the years, there has been a Xiang Yu of the Xiang family who can be slightly favored by the Ximen Grand Valve - and it is only slightly favored, and the Ximen Grand Valve has probably not recognized Xiang Yu's talent and potential, and has not officially accepted Xiang Yu into the family. Because Xiang Yu has not yet participated in any of the "Nine Cities Competition", he still has to inspect and investigate.
It was Ning Chong's fiancΓ©e, Ning Tianxiang, who once aroused the great interest of Ximen Dahe. ββ Ximen Davalve really wants to bring Ning Tianxiang, a genius girl, into his command and cultivate. It's a pity that it was even more terrifying by the forces, and even the royal family was extremely afraid of the Imperial Martial Sect, who arrived first and snatched Ning Tianxiang.
And in previous years. Because the root bone qualification is an extremely excellent one-line root bone asset, the Nalan family's Nalan weak snow has also entered the field of vision of the Ximen Valve, and the Ximen Valve once issued an invitation. It's a pity that Nalan has a weak snow temperament and is elusive to ordinary people. I didn't hesitate to refuse.
Ning Chong is more familiar with these things, because the martial cultivators in Xuanyuan City will talk about such topics for a long time, and among these martial cultivators, many people are eager to fall from the sky and be able to blend into the Ximen Great Valve. And the Ning family also has many family members, and the most hopeful thing is to join the Ximen Grand Valve and become the outer disciples of the Ximen Grand Valve.
However, for Ning Chong, he doesn't have such a mind now. It wasn't that he was afraid that his Five Elements Root Bone qualification would be discriminated against by the Ximen family, but that he didn't want to be too distracted.
It is inevitable to continue to chase the pinnacle of martial arts. But Ning Chong has always been a down-to-earth person who acts with concentration, and he doesn't think much about it now, just to perform well in the Izumo Valley trial and defeat Xiang Yu of the Xiang family. Get the first and say it again.
As for the future, whether or not he can enter Simon's house for further study, etc., is still a relatively distant matter, and there is no need to think about it for the time being. ββ
The team had reached their destination, and the Seven Elders briefly explained a few words to the other elders and deacons and assigned the task. Led by these elders and deacons. The people of the Ning family began to set up camp.
Everything was in order, and the Seventh Elder was also happy and at ease, continuing to chat with Mr. Zhou Da.
After the two chatted for a while, the topic unconsciously turned back to this Izumo Valley trial. Mr. Zhou said with a smile: "Hahahaha, seventh brother, this time your Ning family came a little late, and it was rare to fall behind the Xiang family." If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time in 10 years, right?"
The Seventh Elder made a look of indifference, and said with a smile: "It's just a small matter that comes first and comes first, and it has no effect on the trials in Izumo Valley, since the Xiang family likes to arrive early, let them arrive early." My Ning family doesn't care about this. β
"Hahahaha, the seventh brother is right, anyway, it doesn't affect the outcome of the trial in Izumo Valley, so what does it matter who arrives first. By the way, Seventh Brother, you probably wouldn't have thought that Xiang Ba of the Xiang family didn't personally lead the team this time, right?"
"Oh, really?"
"Although I was quite surprised, there is nothing false about this!"
After the Seventh Elder confirmed the news from Mr. Zhou Da, he couldn't help but be even more surprised. ββYou must know that Xiang Ba is a domineering and competitive person, and for more than ten years, Xiang Ba has personally led the Xiang family's team to participate in the Izumo Valley Trial every year, and has never been absent.
Therefore, this time, Xiang Ba did not come, which is really rare. But I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?
"However, Seventh Brother," Mr. Zhou Da had an excellent relationship with the first seven elders, and he continued to remind, "Xiang Ba didn't come, but it doesn't mean that the Xiang family is weak this year. On the contrary, this year, the strength of the Xiang family has only become more terrifying. Don't talk about others, Xiang Jia Xiang Yu's kid, I went to see him not long ago, his internal qi is already extremely restrained, and his eyes are flashing, this is a precursor to breaking through the martial artist realm. I couldn't help but make a move, and I tested him on the spot, and guess what the result was?"
The Seventh Elder's face turned serious when he heard this, and his heart was not happy. ββ No matter what the result of Mr. Zhou Da's trial is, this Xiang Yu has already defeated Ning Zihou last year, and this year's strength will definitely be even more terrifying. In this way, the situation of the Ning family this year is getting worse and worse, and it is not a strange thing to be afraid that they will lose even more humiliating than last year.
Thinking like this in his heart, the Seventh Elder smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, don't sell it, let's talk about it quickly, I'm also very interested, how strong can this Xiang Yu be now." β
Mr. Zhou Da smiled "haha", then shook his head and sighed: "I have to say, this Xiang Yu is indeed worthy of the title of genius, I used a move of fifty percent of his strength to test him, and he not only took it completely, but even had the strength to fight back." β
Not only did he take it completely, but he even had the strength to fight back...... This...... Is this true?"
The Seven Elders were taken aback and dumbfounded. You must know that Mr. Zhou's strength is not below him, and it may even be higher. With such a strong strength, Mr. Zhou Da used a fifty percent move, and he was able to be completely caught by Xiang Yu in the realm of talented martial artists, and he still had the strength to fight back!
It's horrifying!
"Doesn't the seventh brother still know Zhou? Zhou never lies. β
The Seventh Elder shook his head with a wry smile and said, "That's not the case, but this news is too shocking......"
Mr. Zhou Da smiled: "It's nothing, even if I am the seventh brother, I will be shocked to hear this news." This Xiang Yu is indeed a little incredible, this time the Izumo Valley trial, no matter what the result is, as a member of the deacon of the Ximen Grand Valve, I also have to do my duty and fully recommend Xiang Yu to the Ximen family. β
Speaking of this, Mr. Zhou Da paused and said, "Seventh brother, you would rather work harder." It's been a long time since your Ning family has produced a talent who can enter the Ximen Valve for further study, about ten years......"
The Seventh Elder's heart was already heavy, and when he heard Mr. Zhou's words again, he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, and he faintly felt a kind of helplessness, as if he had seen the ending of the Ning family's inevitable defeat in this Izumo Valley trial.
But the Seventh Elder didn't show any expression on his face, and only said, "I know. Thank you Mr. Zhou Da for the reminder. β
"You're welcome. β
......
Just when the Seventh Elder was talking with Mr. Zhou Da and everyone in the Ning family had already set up camp, in the Xiang family camp, Xiang Yu walked out of the camp with five or six family children and came to the vicinity of the Ning family's camp.
Xiang Yu carried a snow-white long knife on his back, pacing with his hands behind his back, he was born with a steady temperament, and his confident expression always made people feel that everything was under his control. Behind him, five or six family members all consciously followed Xiang Yu three steps behind him to show their respect and worship for Xiang Yu.
As the founder of the steady rise of the Xiang family over the years, Xiang Yu has a transcendent status in the Xiang family, and almost all the young people of the Xiang family worship Xiang Yu as an idol in their hearts. Now these five or six children of the Xiang family have such a performance, naturally it is not surprising at all.
Walking to a place with some high ground, Xiang Yu looked at the children of the Ning family camp from a distance, and after looking at it for a while, he turned his head and asked the person behind him: "Which of you knows Ning Chong, come up and show me." β
Immediately, a man walked up respectfully.
The man stood still, looked carefully for a while, and then pointed and said, "Senior Brother Xiang Yu, you see, in the Ning family's camp, the one wearing a white robe and carrying a long sword on his back is Ning Chong!"
"Oh...... Is he Ning Chong? He looks good, but I don't know how much strength he has at hand? But it's good to come, I've been waiting for a long time, I hope he will be an interesting opponent......"
Xiang Yu muttered to himself, and suddenly saw Ning Zihou's figure appear more than ten steps away from Ning Chong. He put his hands behind his back, smiled disdainfully, and said to himself: "It turns out that this Ning Zihou may have some talent, but in essence he is still a genius who has been piled up with strong resources. If he hadn't had a good father, he would be a mediocre talent at best. Ning Chong, I hope you don't disappoint me, if the young generation of Xuanyuan City is just me, wouldn't it be too boring......"
After Xiang Yu finished talking to himself, Zhengse instructed the person behind him: "Let's go, act according to the plan I made, now is the time to give the small gift we have prepared a long time ago to the Ning family and Ning Chong." β
