Jiang Shaofan, the deputy city lord, is a middle-aged man who is nearly forty years old, tall, resolute, between his eyebrows and eyes, there are vague similarities with Jiang Yuanchao, but his eyes are much deeper.

When everyone present saw him coming, they immediately saluted, and said in a loud voice: "See the deputy city lord." ”

Duan Chen also stopped talking with Jiang Yuanchao and Zhuge Xuanshuang, and bowed slightly.

Jiang Shaofan waved his hand to signal everyone to be exempt, and laughed loudly: "I think you all already know that the Five Dynasties will be held in advance, so this Wangcheng competition will also be held in advance, and the first battle will be tomorrow, and I hope you will prepare early." ”

Liu Qinghe, the commander of the Qinglong Battalion, immediately stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask the deputy city lord, then the Northern Xia Dynasty suddenly planned to hold a meeting of the Five Dynasties in advance, but what happened?"

Jiang Shaofan nodded and said: "There are indeed some changes, as far as I know, in recent years, a demon cultivation force called the Demon God Society has suddenly risen in the territory of the five major dynasties, and the sphere of influence is faintly scattered throughout the North East China region, and the Northern Xia Dynasty feels that the killing is coming, so it plans to take the opportunity of the Five Dynasties to discuss countermeasures, and want to gather the power of the Five Dynasties to join hands to exterminate the Demon God Society." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present suddenly looked shocked.

Duan Chen's heart was also moved, he didn't expect that the matter of this Demon God Society had already alarmed the five major dynasties, so it seemed that as long as the five major dynasties worked together, this demon god would not be far from the day of destruction.

I only heard Jiang Shaofan continue: "But no matter how much time in advance of this Five Dynasties Meeting, you must first pass the level of this Wangcheng competition, my Qingshan City is the largest city in the east of the dynasty, and in this Wangcheng competition, at least three people must be selected into the top ten, so as not to fall into the prestige of the city." ”

Xiao Yunshan, the centurion of the White Tiger Battalion, said: "Deputy City Lord, rest assured, we will go all out to raise the prestige of Qingshan City in this royal city competition." ”

Jiang Feng, the former commander of the Xuanwu Battalion and now the hall master of the Gathering Spirit Palace, continued: "Yes, this time I will open the eyes of all cities and see how my Qingshan City has been firmly sitting in the largest city in the eastern territory for hundreds of years and has been prosperous for a long time. ”

The others cheered on their own cheers.

Jiang Shaofan saw it in his eyes, showed a smile of relief on his face, and said: "With your words today, this seat will rest assured, without further ado, I will enter the palace and meet the king." ”

After that, he walked towards the palace gate first, and Duan Chen and his party immediately followed.

The eight foundation-building monks guarding the city gate had already received orders, so they did not do much interrogation of Duan Chen and his party, and were led by an old eunuch with a face as white as snow and walked towards the side of the palace.

The Great Wilderness Palace, magnificent and magnificent, with a thick palace wall dozens of zhang high, faintly visible spirit patterns flickering.

Everyone followed behind the old eunuch, looking left and right, and everywhere they could see the palace hall and the palace forbidden army in charge of inspection.

The whole palace is magnificent, and the law is strict.

Everyone followed the old eunuch all the way through the palace, bypassing the many halls, and suddenly the things in front of them changed.

But see the rippling blue waves, the lotus leaves touch the sky, the lotus reflects the sun, the red flowers and green leaves reflect each other, stretching and blooming on the surface of the lake.

Duan Chen stared at it, and saw that in the middle of the lake, surrounded by lotus and lotus leaves, a temple seemed to float above the water, making people feel that the palace seemed to be very different from the rest of the palace.

At this time, I only heard the old eunuch who led the way say in a sharp voice: "Deputy City Lord Jiang, the Wanhe Palace has arrived, and the four city lords of Nanfeng City, Luoyue City, Guanyue City and Yunjian City have already arrived first, and when the Sprinkle family sends you over, and then the other city lords of the cities will come, they will invite the king, and also invite the deputy city lord Jiang to sit in the Wanhe Hall for a while." ”

Jiang Shaofan hurriedly arched his hand and said, "There is Lao Wei's father-in-law." ”

Gonggong Wei waved his hand and walked quickly to the lakeside, and a powerful spiritual power fluctuation suddenly emanated from his body.

Duan Chen was originally looking at the Ten Thousand Lotus Palace, sensing this fluctuation of spiritual power, he couldn't help but turn his face in shock.

I saw that the palm of Wei's right hand seemed to condense countless clouds of cold air, and the cold air spread out, wrapping his calloused right palm.

At this time, I only heard that Wei Gonggong smiled and said, "It's ugly for you." ”

With that, his right palm slammed into the surface of the lake in the air, and a thick and solid cold air fell on the surface of the lake.

But the sound of clicking was endless, and on the rippling blue surface of the lake, a frost crystal road with a width of several feet suddenly condensed, extending from the feet of everyone to the white jade staircase of the Ten Thousand Lotus Palace.

Duan Chen's heart was shocked, and he said secretly: "This Wei Gonggong is so profound, even if I have broken through to the late stage of foundation building now, but to achieve the level of turning water into ice like this, he still needs to be supplemented by the Five Elements Technique, and he can do it with a single move, which is definitely not human." ”

Just as Duan Chen was shocked by Father-in-law Wei's strength in his heart, he only heard Deputy City Lord Jiang Shaofan smile and said, "Father-in-law's Ice Spirit Xuanming Palm is getting more and more powerful, I think I am already about to cultivate to the realm of Dacheng." ”

Gonggong Wei slowly withdrew his right palm, and said with a faint smile: "Compared with Deputy City Lord Jiang's Burning Sky Palm, this little skill of the Sprinkle family is not enough to worry about." ”

After a slight pause, he stepped on the ice road on the lake first, and continued: "Please come with me." ”

With that, no matter what the people behind him thought, he walked forward alone.

Everyone followed behind him, all the way to the front of the Wanhe Palace, and heard the Duke of Wei say openly: "Deputy City Lord Jiang, the Sprinkle family still has to welcome the envoys from various cities, and it is inconvenient to enter, so please enter the palace by yourself and rest for a while." ”

Jiang Shaofan nodded and said, "There is Gonggong Lao." ”

Gonggong Wei bowed slightly, and then turned to leave.

Seeing this, Jiang Shaofan stepped on the white jade stairs in front of the Wanhe Hall and led everyone into the main hall.

The arrangement in the Wanhe Hall is extremely exquisite, in the middle is a red cloth carpet, from the main hall along the stairs, all the way to the palace door, the mahogany lacquer pillars on both sides are side by side, no more and no less, there are nine on the left and right, the dragon and the phoenix are carved on it, the craftsmanship is superb, lifelike.

Between the mahogany lacquered pillars, there are eighteen broad and thick stone seats, each of which is carved with different rare birds and beasts.

Duan Chen looked around, and saw that there were already four people sitting on four of the stone seats, and behind the stone seats of these four people, there were dozens of wooden chairs, on which dozens of foundation building monks were sitting, talking to each other in low voices.

Duan Chen's gaze immediately fell on the four people on the stone seat.

I saw that the city lord of Yunjian was dressed in military uniform, sitting on the second stone seat on the left, talking to a middle-aged man in brocade clothes and full of nobility next to him.

Opposite the two, a blue-shirted Xiucai with a slender figure and a poor and bookish face also whispered softly to the gray-haired old man sitting next to him.

Duan Chen's gaze swept over the four of them one by one, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "This Cloud City Lord is a Fake Dan powerhouse, and the other three can be on an equal footing with him, even if he is not a Fake Dan powerhouse, he is also the lord of a city." ”

He thought to himself, and all the people sitting in the temple also noticed their arrival, and they turned their eyes one by one.

But seeing that the city lord of Yunjian took the lead and said, "I didn't expect Qingshan City to be led by Deputy City Lord Jiang this time, it's really been a long time." ”

The other three city lords also stood up, saying that they were happy.

Jiang Shaofan returned the salute with his fists, and while taking Duan Chen and the others to sit down in the first seat on the left, he laughed loudly: "The City Lord of the Cloud Room, the City Lord of Nanfeng, the City Lord of the Falling Moon, and the City Lord of the Moon Viewing City, the four of them are all right." ”

As he spoke, his gaze paused on the Cloud City Lord, the middle-aged man in brocade, the blue-shirted Xiucai, and the gray-haired old man.

The gray-haired city lord of the moon-watching city said with a smile: "Thinking about the farewell of the moon-watching dao back then, Deputy City Lord Jiang was only a centurion in the Qingshan Army, and I don't want more than ten years to pass, Deputy City Lord Jiang is already the deputy lord of a city. ”

The Falling Moon City Lord, who was dressed as a Blue Mountain showman, continued: "The name of Deputy City Lord Jiang, Luo Mou is far away in Falling Moon City, and he has also heard of it, and today I finally met fate." ”

If it is said that among the cities of the Great Wilderness, Qingshan City is the largest city in the east, then Falling Moon City is the largest city in the west, and the two cities are thousands of miles apart, one east and one west, and there are indeed few opportunities to meet each other on weekdays.

Jiang Shaofan obviously met the Falling Moon City Lord for the first time, and couldn't help but smile at the moment: "The Lord of Luocheng is serious, compared with the Lord of Luocheng, how can Jiang's reputation be on the stage." ”

At this time, I only heard the Nanfeng City Lord dressed in brocade say in a deep voice: "I don't think the two city lords need to be so humble, today it is rare for us to gather together in the Ten Thousand Lotus Palace, why don't we take this opportunity to exchange some of our experiences in cultivation on weekdays?"

After a slight pause in his voice, he suddenly changed to use the art of sound transmission, and talked to the other four city lords present.

While the five city lords were talking, Duan Chen was sitting in his seat and looking around at the foundation building monks brought by the other four city lords.

After nearly a quarter of an hour like this, I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the hall, and everyone in the hall stared at it, and saw that Gonggong Wei led two groups of people to the front of the Wanhe Palace.

He still sent the people to the temple gate, and then turned around and walked away quickly.

After Gonggong Wei was gone, the two groups of people and horses walked into the Ten Thousand Lotus Hall humbly.

But I saw that the first person was a white-haired old woman who was nearly seventy years old, dressed in black and gold moire silk clothes, holding a crested cane, and the old woman was followed by seven or eight foundation-building monks, and slowly stepped into the hall.

Immediately following the white-haired old woman and the others into the hall was a middle-aged man with a tall stature, fierce eyes, and a giant axe, and the man was also followed by about eight or nine foundation building monks who stepped into the hall together.

Duan Chen glanced at the white-haired old woman and the giant axe man, and secretly wondered in his heart, "I don't know which two city lords have arrived." ”

When his mind turned, he saw Jiang Shaofan stand up from his seat and said, "Jiang Shaofan, the deputy city lord of Qingshan City, has seen Mrs. Jia and Tuoba Daoyou. ”

The other four city lords also stood up to salute, and Duan Chen and the others also stood up and saluted together with the five city lords.

Mrs. Najia lightly slapped the phoenix crutch in her hand and said with a smile: "You city lords don't need to be polite, the old body is just a few years older than you, so you don't have to be so restrained." ”

Before speaking, the person had already sat down first, sitting opposite Jiang Shaofan.

When the other people present saw Mrs. Jia sit down, they took their seats one after another.
