Volume I.: The Imperial Capital Chapter 25: The Hundred Family Banquet
Xiang family.
Tianmai, Xiang Tian Study.
"Forget it this time, if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, come back to me first! Grandpa will seek justice for you! Xiang Tian seemed to be quite a stern lesson.
"Uh-huh!"
"Uh-huh!"
Fang Li and Yu Wei's heads suddenly nodded like chickens pecking rice.
Xiang Tian glanced at the two of them helplessly, and said, "Yuwei, you go out first, I have something to talk to Fang Li alone." ”
"Oh." Yuwei snorted, turned around and went out, and didn't forget to close the door when she left.
"It's a hundred family banquet in a few days, and you, as the leader of the Xiang family, should at least learn about this grand event." Xiang Tian said straight to the point.
"Although it is called a hundred family banquets, there may be more than 100 people who actually participated. Our four great families, the upper three sects and the lower five sects of the Ten Pavilions, some famous forces around Ning'an City, and the seven major sects of the empire will all come to participate. ”
"Although the Hundred Family Banquet is a banquet, in fact, it is a place for all parties to play a game, it is similar to the Kyushu Dynasty Examination, which is mainly based on the competition of young talents in the years of various forces."
"And these competitions, although nominally only competitions, are also quite important to the reputation of our forces. Therefore, your task is to make sure that my family does not lose the competition! ”
"Don't worry, grandpa, I will definitely give you a winning Xiang family!" Fang Li nodded heavily.
Seeing this, Xiang Tian bowed slightly, and was about to let him leave, when he thought of something again, and said: "As far as I know, the Lin family may be targeted this time, that little girl is kind to you, you can do it yourself when the time comes!" ”
The Lin family? Fang Li was stunned for a moment, and that beautiful shadow appeared in his mind again. He said, "Got it." After saying goodbye to Xiang Tian, he left the middle hall, said hello to Yu Wei, and went back to the room directly.
"This hundred family banquets are not simple······" Lying on the bed, he couldn't sleep for a long time, thinking back to what Xiang Tian said, he couldn't help but murmur.
After a while, he jumped up from the bed and went directly to the back mountain to cultivate, since he couldn't sleep, it was better to improve his strength quickly. In the next few days, I am afraid that the hundred family banquets will not be calm.
"The Ancient Emperor's Dictionary is divided into seven layers, and now it can only be regarded as the first entry, but there is a long way to go!"
In the spiritual consciousness space, Fang Li read the information left by that senior, his eyes showed a strange light, he didn't expect this exercise to actually have growth, but I don't know, when it comes to the seventh level, how many exercises will it be?
Let's try cultivating this meta-technique tonight! His gaze fell on a spiritual light near the soul wheel, and with a stretch of his hand, the spiritual light turned into a scroll and flew into his hand, and he opened it to look at it.
Eight Desolate Fists, Heavenly Inferior Yuan Techniques! The fist can attract the qi of heaven and earth, and the fist can move the power of the eight wildernesses, there are three types, and the master can break thousands of miles of rivers and mountains with one punch!
"Heavenly product down the ladder?!" When Fang Li saw these four words, he almost immediately gasped, what is the identity of the senior? Such a valuable meta-technique was thrown out casually!
He stared at the scroll in his hand with fiery eyes, tonight, let me try how powerful this big treasure is!
······
A few days later.
Tianmai Middle Hall, early in the morning.
The Tianmai talents who participated in the Hundred Family Banquet have gathered here. Only the person who led the team has not yet appeared.
"Yuwei, didn't you call him?" Elder Tianbing had a puzzled look on his face, and then asked the girl in blue.
"I went, but he seems to have gone back to the mountains to cultivate." Yu Wei said with some dissatisfaction.
When Elder Tianshui heard this, a look of helplessness appeared on his face. Then wait, if it doesn't work, they will set off first, and then go after he has returned from the back mountain.
"This Fang Li, do you really think that if you become the team leader, you can put up a shelf?" In the rear, a young man said with great displeasure, originally the position of the team leader was his, but who knew that a Fang Li suddenly appeared and robbed him!
"I guess I'm afraid of Brother Tianhua, so I don't dare to come!" As soon as the young man's voice fell, someone chimed in.
"When he comes, he will definitely teach him a lesson!" Xiang Tianhua seemed to regard himself as an elder, and his tone was very arrogant.
Everyone waited for another quarter of an hour before a rush of footsteps sounded outside the middle hall. Fang Li rushed in directly, saw everyone's faces, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry everyone, I've overcultivated too much. ”
Many eyes with different meanings fell on Fang Li, and they were also very curious about this descendant who had gone to the Great Spirit Mansion for more than two years to study.
Xiang Tianhua slowly walked out of the crowd and said with a smile: "Brother Fang Li is really diligent, how about having a good relationship with his brother?" Let me see what qualifications you have to be this team leader! ”
Some people's eyes suddenly became gloating, wanting to see what Fang Li could do. The latter is just the strength of the Fan Yuan Realm, which really disappointed them, but Xiang Tianhua has the strength to enter the Xuan Realm for the first time!
"You!" Yu Wei frowned slightly, and opened her mouth to speak, but was stopped by the Heavenly Ice Elder on the side.
Elder Tianbing shook his head and said, "Xiang Tianhua will suffer. "Fang Li and Lin Yinyun were also present in that fight, Fang Li can even defeat the Void Gate, let alone a newcomer to the Xuan Realm?
"Since Brother Tianhua wants to know why I have this qualification, let's try it!" Fang Li frowned, then said with a smile, he was just a newcomer to the Xuan Realm, and he really didn't care about it.
"Brother Fang Li's tone is quite crazy!" Xiang Tianhua sneered, the disdain in his eyes was even worse, and he simply swung it away with a neat punch. He wants to use the simplest way to crush this teenager's self-confidence!
A sneer also appeared at the corner of Fang Li's mouth, the Xuanhuang Qi surged, and the same punch was swung, and the surging power was hidden in the Xuanhuang Qi, which was contained but not released.
The two fists collided, and the surging power exploded violently. Xiang Tianhua was so bombarded by this punch that he flew five or six meters upside down, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Catch my punch again, the position of team leader, give up!" Fang Li said, the Xuanhuang Qi lingering on his skin, enveloping his entire palm. Then he blasted at Xiang Tianhua with a punch, and the Xuanhuang Qi was vaguely fist-shaped, heading straight towards Xiang Tianhua's lower abdomen.
However, Xiang Tianhua was not incompetent, a small whirlpool condensed in his palm, and he suddenly pushed forward, colliding with the fist shrouded in Xuanhuang Qi!
Water Xuan Palm!
Eight Desolation Fist!
Bang——!
After the palms and fists collided, some waves of qi were set off, the vortex continued to disappear, and the force directly hit Xiang Tianhua's arm, he immediately flew backwards, and there was a "click" sound of broken bones from his right arm.
Everyone around, except for Elder Tianbing, was stunned, and when there was a gap in cultivation between the two sides, they were all bombarded like this with a punch, what if they were at the same level? Pervert it!
"Elder Tianbing, I didn't stop just now, Brother Tianhua may not be able to go." Fang Li turned his head to look at Elder Tianbing and said with an apologetic smile.
"You guy." Elder Tianbing shook his head, feeling helpless, how could he not see that Fang Li was doing it on purpose? He sent two people to help Xiang Tianhua down, and turned back to everyone: "Let's go!" ”
A group of dozens of people boarded the eight carriages parked in front of the Xiangfu Gate, the coachman raised his long whip, the horses neighed, and the convoy drove towards the inner city in a mighty manner, dusty.
······
Inner city, 100 buildings.
In the inner city, where every inch of land is valuable, ordinary courtyards occupy an area of no more than a few miles. But there is one building that breaks the convention, and that is Baijialou.
It is said that it is a building, and its practical palace is more appropriate to describe. This palace complex covers an area of nearly 100 square kilometers, quite huge, and it is divided by many forces, only the central palace is a borderless land, that is, Baijialou.
Baijialou is responsible for the annual Baijia Banquet, and the spacious venue provides ample space for young talents to challenge each other.
At this time, the central palace of Baijialou. The upper three sects have all arrived, and the lower five sects have come to three gates, and some well-known forces around Ning'an City have also participated in the hundred family banquets. Only the true hosts of the Hundred Family Banquet, the Four Great Families, have not yet come.
Several old men from the upper three sects were talking in a low voice, their eyes constantly glancing at the empty positions of the four great families, and the smell of gunpowder in the air was extremely strong.
"It seems that the three sects want to join forces to suppress the Lin family this time." Somewhere on the second floor, a young man in civilian clothes said softly. This young man was about eighteen years old, with eyes like stars, and a handsome and gentle face, like a scholar.
"Your Highness, should we help?" An attendant behind him asked.
"It depends, as long as they are not too aggressive, Yun'er should be able to handle it." The young man whispered.
"The Xiang family has arrived." The young man's eyes moved, his eyes fixed on the dozen or so people who walked into the entrance, and he was surprised: "It turned out that he led the team, a mortal abyss realm?" ”
"Your Highness, you were in retreat the other day, I don't know. It was he who defeated Miss Yinyun in the Qingteng Academy exam! An attendant immediately explained.
The young man was obviously interested, stared at Fang Li closely, and after he was seated, he suddenly took a few steps back and said, "Although his Yuan Li is still in the Fan Yuan Realm, his spiritual sense has already entered the Soul Realm, it's not simple······ But the Xiang family, hehe······"
On the first floor, as soon as Fang Li sat down, he felt that someone was staring at him, and after his eyes swept around, he didn't find anyone, and he was suddenly a little puzzled.
"Brother! What are you looking at? You won't have a crush on any older sister, will you? Yu Wei saw his actions and grinned.
"Eat your stuff." Fang Li flicked it on her smooth forehead and said with a smile.
His gaze was suddenly drawn to the three of the upper three sects. The three old men stood up suddenly, staring at the entrance.
"The Lin family has arrived, but the situation doesn't seem to be good." Elder Tianbing's gaze also looked at the outside of the hall gate and said.
At the door of the hall, a shadow stood quietly, followed by an old man and about ten young people.
For the eyes in the hall, the girl in Tsing Yi didn't care, her blue eyes were extremely cold, and she led everyone of the Lin family to the seats of the four great families.
The three old men of the upper three sects suddenly flashed out and blocked in front of the people of the Lin family, and one of them said, "Friends of the Lin family, why don't you sit here?" As he spoke, he pointed to a seat near the three sects.
"Get out of the way." Lin Yinyun's cold voice sounded almost immediately.
"Lao Mu, you don't need to persuade you with good words, you still don't listen." Another old man sneered, turned his gaze to Lin Yinyun, and said, "Little girl, your Lin family is no longer worthy of the name of the four great families!" You'd better change your seat! ”
"Whether you are worthy or not, it's not up to the three of you to decide!" The old man behind Lin Yinyun took a step forward and snorted coldly.
"Old man Dongze, you should know that the position of the four great families is not something that the two Nine Heavens Realm can keep!" The old man, who had not spoken, spoke up at this moment.
"Our last three sects have formed an alliance, and their strength exceeds that of your Lin family, so they should be replaced! To put it mildly, even if you Lin family get out today! Nothing to do! ”
