The sky was completely dark, and when the darkness fell, the qualifiers for the seven rings finally ended.

Among the seven Champions, there are two from the Holy Spirit Sect, two from the Blood God Sect, and only one from the White Jade Sect......

There is one person in the rest of the Demon Sect, but it is actually Ma Guangming released by Zhao Chen.

The last is Zhao Chen, who is valued by the empress on the surface.

“…… Zhao Chen and the other seven will compete with the nine grandmasters in front of the Imperial Mausoleum in three days......"

After hearing that the official presiding over the competition in the imperial court announced the follow-up arrangements for the competition, Zhao Chen faintly noticed that the seven rings seemed to have some kind of inexplicable connection with the stars in the night.

Even the feeling that this cave heaven gave him changed slightly.

Zhao Chen subconsciously looked at the people around him, but he didn't find anything unusual on the faces of many masters, only Lu Linqi's sister Baoguan looked around a little uneasily.

"Didn't they sense it?" Zhao Chen frowned, "Besides, there is no sun and moon in the cave sky, so what are the stars that people see?" ”

Although he had doubts in his heart, no one would obviously give him an answer on this occasion, so Zhao Chen didn't get too entangled, and left directly after attending the dinner organized by the imperial court.

Anyway, to this cave world, he is just a passerby.

In addition to the task, only the "Cloud Golden Crow Crown" deserves his attention.

If it weren't for the fact that there might be a real person hiding in this cave, the variables were too great, and it was impossible to judge what the Empress Dowager would do after the ceremony failed to meet expectations, Zhao Chen wanted to lie down until three days later and leave directly after the competition.

Of course, since it's a serial mission, you may come back here next time, and the more information you collect, the more beneficial it will be for the next mission.

As his thoughts turned, Zhao Chen had already relied on the temporarily summoned "Tang Yi" to shake off the "tail" staring at him, and then after going around a few circles in the east of the city, he entered a private house.

And a woman in a plain white dress was already waiting here.

She had black hair in a bun, picturesque eyebrows, and a cold temperament, but she showed a non-standard smile after seeing Zhao Chen......

It was none other than Kong Lin, the holy daughter of the Holy Spirit Sect.

"I laughed so much this time...... Further efforts are needed. Zhao Chen said after examining her face.

Kong Lin nodded thoughtfully, then threw herself to the ground and responded respectfully: "Yes, Young Master Chen!" ”

"You don't have to be so polite...... I have a task for you this time. Zhao Chen helped her for a moment, and then asked, "Do you know the 'White Jade King Kong' Shi Xiao?" ”

Kong Lin got up and said, "I know." ”

"There seems to be something abnormal in his soul, I need you to find out his secret and report it back to me." Zhao Chen commanded lightly.

"Yes, Young Lady Chen." Kong Lin responded without thinking about it, completely ignoring the fact that she might also be in danger.

Seeing this, Zhao Chen had to guide: "You don't want to enter his dream realm easily...... And he is a disciple of the White Jade Sect, you have to think about doing things, and you can borrow strength. ”

Kong Lin looked at him fixedly, his eyes full of confusion.

The saint had always acted on the orders of others, and had hardly made any decisions herself.

Zhao Chen sighed and continued, "It's very simple...... Didn't Li Yushi ask me to regularly report the tasks given by the empress before?

"Just tell him that I was ordered to investigate Shi Xiao, and it is likely that there is a great secret hidden in him."

……

Kyoto, inside the luxurious residence of the Holy Spirit Sect.

Sect Master Li Yushi was still wearing the black-bottomed fire pattern robe, he patted the shoulders of the two disciples in front of him, and said with a smile:

"You've managed to get two finals, which is good!"

These two disciples are "Yin Luo Banner" Deng Yu and "Xuanyin Sword" Cheng Li, both of whom are masters of the Nine Turns of Mana, and they have a lot of treasures on their bodies, so it is entirely possible to force a grandmaster to have to borrow from "Heaven and Earth".

"It's all cultivated by the sect master." Deng Yu and Cheng Li replied quite modestly.

Li Yushi, who was good-looking, nodded lightly: "You can go to the Wanbao Pavilion of the sect and choose two magic weapons each, and when you wait for the finals in three days, don't keep your hands when you encounter the grandmasters of other sects, and force out their hole cards as much as possible...... And if you meet me and the Holy Maiden, you will admit defeat directly, understand? ”

"My subordinates understand." The two said in unison.

Li Yushi wanted to say a few more words of encouragement, but his expression suddenly moved, and he hastily sent the two out, and then looked at the corner of the room and said, "Since the holy woman is here, please show up." ”

……

Outside the city, in the manor belonging to the Ming Sect.

"Left Law King" Yan Shun looked at the "Right Law King" Yin Zimo who was drinking tea incredulously, and said in surprise: "Do you want me to admit defeat directly if I meet Zhao Chen and Tang Yi in three days?"

"Are you crazy? Tang Yi is okay, it is said that she is a new star cultivated by you, and it is okay to support her......

"But what does Zhao Chen have to do with us, even if I never expected to get the opportunity to get a great grandmaster in the royal family, I won't cheapen him.

"Don't forget, he's probably the Empress!"

Yin Zimo just said solemnly: "I'm sure that Zhao Chen is the star lord." ”

"'The star lord is in the world, I teach to be happy'? It's just a prophecy, it's not going to happen, so don't get too caught up in it. Yan Shun still shook his head and said.

He already knew that Yin Zimo was going to hold a "Bright Conference" to push Zhao Chen to the throne...... But in Yan Shun's eyes, this is quite funny.

Why should the sect that he and others have worked so hard to build give away? Not to mention an ethereal "Star Lord", even a sect leader who holds the opportunity of the Grandmaster, he doesn't want it.

The two soon had a big quarrel and broke up.

But when Yan Shun returned to the courtyard where he lived in anger, he suddenly found that the scene around him had changed abruptly.

Not only did the dilapidated courtyard turn into a winding water corridor, but even in the night sky, there was a round of silver-white "huge" stars.

And the young man who had been at the center of the argument was now standing against the railing, holding a wine glass and looking at him with a smile.

"Oh no, I'm stuck in the formation!" Yan Shun was shocked, and immediately condensed more than a dozen fireballs around him, and hit the young man in one go.

But these attacks all disappeared suddenly when they approached the boy!

Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow becomes a trio...... In this situation, it would be even better if there was a beautiful girl like Fei Meng at night! It's a pity that he is a bad old man who plays with fire...... After Zhao Chen complained in his heart, he looked at Yan Shun with a smile on the surface:

"King Zuo, I want to play a game with you!"

At the same time, the extremely ornate "Sixteen Venus Libra Sword" emerged above the two of them on its own.

Make-up progress (41/45)
