Yuzhou, the state capital.

The magnificent city is far more spectacular than the county town of Yu County, there are millions of people in the city alone, and the whole city is not as simple as the county town of Yu County, as the capital of the state, the whole city is the same as the Seven Xuanzong, all of them are located on a majestic leyline, with the power of the city formation to suppress the leyline, and the power of the leyline is used.

The disasters that are common in Yu County, such as drought and cold disasters, do not exist in the state capital, and the entire area where the prefecture is located is controlled by a unique leyline formation, and a large area is perennially wind and rain.

But.

Even so, the state capital still has a clear appearance, and the closer you get to the inner city, the more well-dressed the characters walking in the streets and alleys, and they are surrounded by a group of retinues when they go out.

The closer you get to the outer city, the fewer people wear long robes, and finally even the neatly dressed people are gone, and the clothes are sewn and patched, and finally those in the remote areas are even more shabby and dirty, and I don't know how long they have not been washed.

Whether it is a young child or an old man, he basically has a wooden expression, his eyes are dull, and he does not see much brilliance.

The laughter and laughter in the distant inner city never seem to reach here.

On the fairly spacious street, a group of people crowded and walked forward, and the person who walked in front was Chen Mu, who was wearing a simple green cloth robe, and the many figures behind him were basically plain clothes.

But even so, walking in this market close to the outer city, it is still very rare, many women and children in shabby shirts in the market, seeing Chen Mu and his party walking through the streets and alleys, are in a hurry to get out of the way, and they don't even dare to look up more, each of them lowered their heads to avoid both sides, lest they collide with Chen Mu's group of 'masters'.

"I didn't expect that even the state capital would be like this."

Chen Yue followed beside Chen Mu, and after his eyes swept over the streets and alleys, his expression was slightly complicated.

Xu Hongyu, Xiaohe, Yu Ru and others didn't feel anything about it, but she followed Chen Mu to experience the hardest days, and on the way I heard Chen Mu say that there is a unique leyline formation on the side of the state capital, and the wind and rain are smooth all year round, and the monsters don't dare to attack, and the large fields outside are harvested every year, I thought that compared with Yu County, it would be two worlds, but the result is still the same.

"The state capital is a bigger city of Yu, and there is no difference in nature."

Chen Mu said in a calm tone: "The six major families in the inner city of Yuzhou are all inextricably linked with the elders and peak masters of the Seven Xuanzong, just like the Xue Xie He Yu family in Yucheng at the beginning. ”

The Seven Xuanzong rules Yuzhou, but there are contradictions within themselves, and the opinions are not unified, and the extended Yuzhou Prefecture is naturally the same, including Yu County in the early years, which is actually the epitome of the Seven Xuanzong.

When Yan Jingqing was the state government's inspector, he tried to change this situation, but the end result was no change.

He can't change this pattern on his own.

Compared with Yu County back then, the only difference in the state capital is that the order is slightly better, not so chaotic, and no one will pay attention to the murder case casually, but because the major families are divided from each other and compete for the resources of the state capital, it will naturally make the government corrupt, and so on to exploit it layer by layer, even if the state capital has a bumper harvest year after year, the bottom Li Shu is no different from Yu County.

Of course, if you have to say it, the state capital is still a little better, because it is not as remote as Yu County, and it is adjacent to the main sect of the Seven Xuanzong, and capable people still have the opportunity to climb higher and get rid of the bottom, and those with outstanding martial arts qualifications will not be buried.

"Hmm."

Chen Yue listened to Chen Mu's words and nodded slightly.

If you compare the six major families of the state capital to the sectarian forces such as the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Xuanji Pavilion in Yu County, then there is not much difference in living in the state capital, just like in the past.

Chen Mu looked across the streets and alleys, watching the poor people in short shirts and shabby ones avoid both sides of the road one after another, all of them bowed their heads carefully, and sighed a little in his heart for a while, don't look at the many poor households in this outer city area, and there are traces of years of hard work, but in fact, some people are willing to fight for their scalps and come to the state capital to live.

After all, no matter how exploited the state capital is, it is always much more peaceful than the outside world.

For example, he took Xu Hongyu, Chen Yue and others all the way from Yujun, walked on the official road all the way along the way, and encountered four groups of bandits for nearly a month and a half, which was still the part that took the initiative to block the road and rob the road.

Some others who are secretly stalking and give up because they feel that it is not easy to provoke are even more numerous.

In fact, this kind of bandit will take the initiative to clean up the Yuzhou Prefecture and the county governments in various places every few days, but because of the chaos of the world, they will not be extinguished, they will not be burned, and a batch of them will be destroyed.

As for the Seven Xuanzong, he is high, and he is not interested in paying attention to this kind of ordinary bandit at all, unless it is the kind of Jiangyang thief who has stepped into the realm of the five internal organs, it is possible to alarm the Seven Xuanzong and send the True Transmission or Dharma Protector to arrest him.

The people walked along the main road.

Soon after passing through the outermost urban area, I came to the inner area, and the eyes began to change, the number of people in shabby clothes gradually decreased, the number of people wearing long shirts began to increase, and the streets and alleys were also much cleaner and tidier to the naked eye, including some buildings.

The closer you get to the inner city of the state capital, the more lively the market becomes, and you can see some squires swaggering on the road, seeing Chen Mu and his party, although they don't know each other, they can still judge from their clothes that Chen Mu is not an ordinary person, and naturally there will be no conflicts, all of them nod politely.

“…… However, he said that Situ Shu, the great protector of the Xuanji Pavilion, lifted his long cold spirit knife, and with a violent roar, he slashed out thousands of sword qi, crisscrossing and killing Chen Protector, and he was about to behead Chen Protector under the knife. ”

In a lively teahouse in the market, a middle-aged man with a folding fan spoke in an impassioned voice, and his voice drowned out the lively streets and alleys nearby, attracting a large number of pedestrians to stop and listen.

“…… How do you know that Chen Protector has already practiced divine skills to protect his body, thousands of sword qi came to him but did not panic at all, he never even pulled out the knife, only took a step forward, and suddenly the wind and clouds changed color, and thousands of cold sword qi were shattered in front of Chen Protector, saying that it was too late and that was fast, when he saw Chen Protector greet him with his bare hands, he shook Situ Shu's cold spirit knife, raised his hand and struck a fist mark, and Situ Shu flew dozens of feet sideways! ”

The middle-aged storyteller's eyebrows fluttered, and every sentence was very serious, as if he was at the scene at the time.

Chen Yue, who passed by the teahouse, heard the middle-aged man in the teahouse say, 'Chen Mu punched Situ Shusheng to death with nine punches, which means that you don't need a knife to kill, and Situ ...... was killed with nine punches', and couldn't help but look at Chen Mu next to him curiously, and said:

"Was that the case with my brother?"

"Situ Shu did die from the Wheel Seal of Heaven and Earth, but this process is a bit messy."

Chen Mu shook his head and smiled.

He didn't know how much the storyteller knew about that fight, but the story he made up was okay, his Flowing Fire Knife was broken in a collision with the Cold Spirit Knife, and it was said here that he didn't care to draw it.

With the last sentence of the middle-aged storyteller falling, he struck the ruler and threw his hand at the listeners in the teahouse, and the whole teahouse finally became lively all of a sudden.

"This Chen Protector Array slashed Situ Shu, I have heard it three times, and every time I am excited, that Xuanji Pavilion is acting despicably and dirty, it is really a good killing, but unfortunately I am not in Yu County, otherwise I will pinch a few Xuanji Pavilion disciples to help the fun."

"Tsk, just you still pinch the Xuanji Pavilion disciple to death, your three-legged cat kung fu, even my fists and feet can't pass, and compared with the Xuanji Pavilion disciple, it's not bad not to be pinched to death by others."

A few people near the windowsill laughed.

"Speaking of which, Protector Chen beheaded Situ Shu, and the ranking of this list is about to rise again."

Someone took a sip of tea and said.

"That's inevitable, at least a dozen."

"If it's a list, it's not easy to say, the list is different from the rookie spectrum, it is only rescheduled once in three years, and it will take two and a half years to rearrange it next time, maybe Chen Protector's strength will improve again, and he will directly enter the top ten at that time."

One said with a smile.

Since the birth of the Billboard, the only time it was rescheduled in advance was many years ago, due to a big war, nearly seven or eight masters of the Billboard were directly lost, and then in just a few months, several places fell one after another, and all kinds of factors converged to make the end of the world re-revise the ranking of the Billboard in just one year.

In comparison, Chen Mu's killing of Situ Shu, who ranked twenty-three, was also an amazing event, but it was far from enough for Tianya Pavilion to reset the list in advance.

As for what will happen when the list is redefined in two and a half years, it is difficult for anyone to say.

……

The information of this world circulated quickly among the big forces, but it was not so fast among the ordinary people, Chen Mu escorted Chen Yue and others to the state capital, and the journey took a month and a half, and the matter of Yucheng was initially spread here.

Because the initiator Chen Mu himself was next to him, Chen Yue and the others naturally did not have so much interest in listening to the teahouse, and they were not very interested in listening to the discussion of the bookkeepers, so they quickly stayed away from the teahouse with Chen Mu.

Finally.

After the group went forward for a while, there was a noisy movement from the street market in front of them, and many pedestrians were shocked, each avoiding to both sides, and many civilians hurriedly knelt down on both sides of the road to salute.

But seeing the market in front of him, a man wearing the uniform of a supervising envoy followed by a team of people came behind him, and took the initiative to greet Chen Mu with a smile on his face, and said, "Why didn't Protector Chen inform me in advance, and let me go to the city gate to greet him." ”

Chen Mu bowed, smiled peacefully, and said, "How dare you bother Senior Brother Xu to greet him at the gate of the city." ”

This overseer made him known.

Different from Yan Jingqing, Xu Qingzhao, the supervising envoy, was born in the Lingxuanfeng of the Seven Xuanzong Sect, but he was not a true disciple, he was only a disciple of the inner door of the Lingxuanfeng at the beginning, but later he also broke through to the Five Organs Realm, successively served as the deacon of the Lingxuanfeng, and then cultivated the Six Organs Realm Protector, and was assigned to the state capital by the Seven Xuanzong a few years ago to serve as the supervision envoy to take over Yan Jingqing's position.

Xu Qingzhao said with a smile: "Chen Protector is the true inheritance of the previous generation of Ling Xuanfeng, and now it is on the list, even Lord Taishou wants to visit...... According to Protector Chen's orders, the mansions in the inner city have been prepared, just waiting for Protector Chen to settle down. ”

Chen Mu called him a senior brother, but he didn't dare to think that Chen Mu was a junior brother, after all, he was not a true descendant, and now although he has also entered the Six Organs Realm as a supervisor, this is also the end of him, Chen Mu is only thirty years old and ranks on the list.

Even if it is rumored outside that Chen Mu was plotted by the Xuanji Pavilion and eroded by demonic energy, the path to the grandmaster is slim, but with Chen Mu's peerless talent, if he can comprehend the Qiankun realm in the future, even if he does not become a grandmaster, he will be able to win the top of the list!

Even if Chen Muwu can't come out of the Qiankun realm, as a master of the Fengyun List, his status is far higher than him.

"I'm tired of Senior Brother Xu."

Chen Mu nodded slightly at Xu Qingzhao.

If he wanted to bring Xu Hongyu, Chen Yue and others to the state capital, he naturally made arrangements here in advance, in fact, the existence of deacons above the Seven Xuanzong was very easy to buy property in the state capital, let alone him.

"It's hard work, how can you talk about it."

Xu Qingzhao responded with a smile, and then led the way in front and led Chen Mu and his party to the inner city.

Originally, Chen Mu and his party were all wearing long robes, even if they were very simple, they did not encounter any obstacles along the way, but at this time, with Xu Qingzhao, the supervisor, leading the way, the road was even smoother, and the pedestrians along the way saluted in awe.

Some people also looked at Chen Mu and the others behind Xu Qingzhao, their eyes were full of different colors, and they didn't know what the way Chen Mu and the others came from, so they could let Xu Qingzhao, the dignified supervision envoy, personally lead the way.

Soon.

The group crossed the outer city and arrived in the inner city of the state capital.

The inner city of the state capital is obviously much more imposing than the inner city of Yu County, with towering houses and thick bluestone floor tiles all over the streets, all of which are clean as far as the eye can see.

The pedestrians on the road are all wearing long robes, and nobles dressed in luxurious silk can be seen everywhere, with solemn and majestic faces, or talking and laughing with people, compared with the outer city area of the state capital, it almost seems to be two completely different worlds.

But.

Even those characters wearing luxurious satins, when they saw Xu Qingzhao coming first, they were all stunned, and they all saluted Xu Qingzhao, not daring to slack off.

And it wasn't until Xu Qingzhao, Chen Mu and others walked all the way and disappeared at the end of the spacious street that someone whispered: "Who are those people, following behind Lord Xu, it seems that they are very raw." ”

"I don't look like I'm following behind Lord Xu, but like Lord Xu is leading the way in front...... Speaking of which, I heard a little news before, could it be that the young man who was traveling with Master Xu just now is the one? ”

Someone had a hint of discoloration on his face.

The person next to him immediately looked over and said with some surprise: "You said that Lord Xu personally led the way, who is that?" ”

"So young, and let Lord Xu personally lead the way, who else do you say?"

The man shook his head and said.

When the people nearby heard this, they stopped talking, and a name rose in their minds.

Chen Mu!

The real man of the year in Yuzhou, the first person of the young generation in Hanbei Province, not long ago, he was in Yu County, and he killed Situ Shu, the great protector of Xuanji Pavilion, who ranked twenty-three on the list!

For these people in the inner city of the state capital, Chen Mu's name can be said to be thunderous.
