Mrs. Jia looked around and saw that there were only seven city lords in the hall, so she couldn't help but sigh lightly and said, "Eighteen city lords, only seven are here right now, it seems that we have to wait." ”

She seemed a little tired, and after saying this, she closed her eyes and began to recuperate.

The other six city lords were inconvenient to be disturbed, so they had to continue to secretly communicate and talk.

And they waited in the temple for about an hour, until dusk was approaching, and nightfall came, and the eighteen seats in the temple were filled.

However, the city lords of the eighteen cities of the Great Wilderness King City were not all present, and there were also situations like Zhuge Qingshan, who needed to sit in one city, and could only send the deputy city lord to lead the team.

Duan Chen sat behind Jiang Shaofan, the deputy city lord of Qingshan City, and observed for nearly an hour, and now he also saw some clues.

For example, the seats in this hall were originally arranged according to the strength and status of each city in the Great Wilderness Dynasty.

Jiang Shaofan represents Zhuge Qingshan this time, and as a strong person in Zhuge Qingshan's Jindan, he sits in the first place on the left side of the main hall, which is naturally more than enough.

Mrs. Najia is said to be the largest city in the north of the Great Wilderness Dynasty, the city lord of the Northern Frontier City, although she is in the Fake Dan Realm, her strength is said to be not weaker than the Jindan powerhouse, so it is logical for her to sit first on the right side.

And through this meeting of the palaces of the cities, the order of the seats between the cities, Duan Chen also saw the depth of strength between the major cities of the Great Wilderness Dynasty.

All in all, the eighteen cities distributed in the Great Wilderness Dynasty are all in the position of the city lord, and the strength is between the Great Perfection of the Foundation and the False Dan Realm, and the only one who is more special is Zhuge Qingshan, the Jindan powerhouse.

It can also be seen from this that Qingshan City has a high status in the entire Great Wilderness King City.

Thinking about it, looking at the entire Great Wilderness Dynasty, in addition to the Great Wilderness King City, the strength of their Qingshan City should be enough to rank second among the cities.

Just as Duan Chen was secretly thinking about it in his heart, a sound of breaking the sky suddenly came from outside the Ten Thousand Lotus Palace, and the four figures flew into the main hall, attracting the attention of the monks in the hall.

Duan Chen secretly looked over, and saw that the two people on the left were tall and short, the tall man was like a thin bamboo pole, carrying a copper coin ancient sword on his back, and the short man was as fat as a ball, with a dark complexion, and a gloomy expression.

Seeing this, Duan Chen couldn't help but secretly think to himself: "Now that the lords of all cities have arrived at the Ten Thousand Lotus Palace, I don't know what kind of identity these two people are. ”

Turning his eyes, he looked at the two people on the right, and his expression was slightly stunned.

Unlike the two strangers on the left, Duan Chen happened to know both of the two on the right.

One is Nangong Changliu, the head of the Nangong family, and the other is Gonggong Wei, who was in charge of picking up everyone not long ago.

These four people faintly took Nangong Changliu as the leader and flew into the hall.

No matter what everyone in the hall was doing before, they all turned their eyes to look at it one by one at this moment, and then stood up with the eighteen city lords and saluted Nangong Changliu, the master of the first family.

After Nangong Changliu returned the salute, he walked into the main hall with the three people behind him, and then turned around and said solemnly: "Today, the city lords of all cities are gathered in one hall, and the king was supposed to come in person, but because the affairs of the court and the central government are busy, it is difficult to get out for a while, and it is inconvenient to come here, so he is specially sent to preside over today's palace meeting of all cities." ”

His voice paused slightly, and he continued: "Tonight, all the city lords have come from afar, if there is any inconsiderate hospitality, please forgive me." ”

When Mrs. Jia heard this, she immediately said: "The head of the Nangong family is serious, if it weren't for the Nangong family's advance arrangement, the old man and the city lords still don't know where to stay, so how can they entertain them." ”

Nangong Chang lingered and said: "This is what my Nangong family should do, and Mrs. Jia is serious." ”

After the two of them were polite, Nangong Changliu followed and introduced to everyone: "This time the palace meeting of the cities, in addition to the people of the eighteen cities, the two envoys from the Northern Xia will also observe, and please don't be surprised. ”

The eyes of everyone in the hall suddenly fell on the tall and thin man and the short and fat man.

I only heard Jiang Shaofan speak: "These two Taoist friends are very face-to-face, and they also ask the head of the Nangong family to introduce them on their behalf." ”

Nangong Changliu nodded, pointed at the tall and thin man and said, "This is the royal family of the Northern Xia Dynasty, Mr. Gao Han." ”

Everyone in the hall hurriedly said in unison for a long time.

Nangong Changliu then pointed at the short and fat man and said, "This is also the royal family of the Northern Xia Dynasty, Mr. Ai Dong." ”

Everyone in the hall said goodbye again.

Although Gao Han and Ai Dong were worshiped by the Northern Xia royal family, the two of them were only at the peak of the foundation, and in the face of the city lord of the eighteen cities, they did not dare to hold it up, and they returned the salute one by one.

After everyone greeted each other, they all re-seated.

At this time, I only heard Nangong Changliu sitting on the main seat and said: "Please come to the city lords tonight, mainly to discuss some matters related to the competition in the royal city tomorrow." ”

His gaze swept over the monks of the cities below, and continued: "In this royal city competition, each city shall nominate no more than fifteen candidates, and the cultivation shall not be lower than the early stage of foundation building, and the age shall not be higher than forty. ”

When everyone in the hall heard this, there was no expression on their faces, because the previous dynasties were like this, but no one knew about it, and no one knew it.

However, although they all knew the rules of the competition, no one dared to interrupt Nangong Changliu's speech.

Listening to his words, he suddenly said: "In recent years, many demon cultivators have appeared in the territory of the five major dynasties, and secretly there is a demon cultivator force who claims to be the Demon God Society, with the support of the demon clan in the Eastern Regions, it continues to grow and develop, and I hope that the city lords of each city will be careful to guard against it." ”

The city lord of Yunjian had a deep understanding of this, and continued: "What the lord of the Nangong family said is extremely true, a few months ago, the city lord of this city joined forces with the Nangong family, and the design led to many masters of the Demon God Society, and dealt a heavy blow, but the power of the Demon God Society is intertwined and scattered all over the five major dynasties, and it is really not possible to solve it with the power of one or two cities. ”

The Moon Viewing City Lord's face showed a hint of jealousy, and said: "I have also found traces of a Jindan Great Demon near Nanyang Village in Moon Viewing City, but fortunately, this demon was severely injured by the Four Rings Master of Tianhang Temple, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

Duan Chen was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that the battle of Jindan in Nanyang Village would actually reach the ears of this Moon Viewing City Lord.

Thinking about it, the battle between the two Jindan powerhouses at that time must have been earth-shattering and seen by many people.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of Li Mubai and Gu Ling'er, the two senior brothers and sisters, and he didn't know if they were still roaming somewhere in the Great Wilderness Dynasty now.

At this time, I only heard Gao Han, who was sitting on the left side of Nangong Changliu, say in a deep voice: "My Northern Xia Dynasty has also been deeply affected by the Demon God Society in recent years, and many Qi refining and foundation building monks have disappeared one after another, which finally attracted the attention of the ancestors in the palace, so I plan to hold the Five Dynasties Meeting in advance, and take this opportunity to discuss with the various dynasties the method of dealing with this Demon God Society." ”

Mrs. Jia, the lord of Northern Xinjiang, sighed lightly when she heard this, and said: "The turmoil is rising, the killing and robbery have been moved, and now the situation is turbulent, but it reminds the old body of some unbearable past......

She suddenly stopped talking, but everyone in the hall couldn't guess what she remembered in the past.

Seeing this, Nangong Changliu couldn't help but smile and said: "The matter of the Demon God Society, there is no need to worry about it now, I will get back to the point, and first talk about the competition in the King City of the Day." ”

When everyone in the hall heard this, they all kept silent, staring at Nangong Changliu, waiting for his words.

Nangong Changliu stared at the group of cultivators in the hall, and said loudly: "Tomorrow's royal city competition, the location will be set in the forbidden military academy, the specific rules and the previous session is not too big, at that time, the eighteen city foundation building monks, plus the foundation building monks recommended by the royal city, will be drawn together, as long as the top ten places are decided, you can be selected for the five dynasties martial arts list." ”

The Moon Viewing City Lord coughed lightly and said, "Nangong Family Master, I don't know how the rewards compare to the past in this royal city competition?"

The words of the Moon Viewing City Lord seemed to ask the hearts of everyone in the hall, and they couldn't help but listen intently.

Nangong Changliu looked around and said with a smile: "In this Wangcheng competition, whoever enters the top ten can get ten Lingyuan Pills, twenty medium-grade spirit stones, one superb magic weapon, and in the Daozang Hall where my Great Wilderness royal family collects martial arts classics, you can read them at will for half a day." ”

As soon as these words came out, the monks of the cities in the hall couldn't help but show excitement.

After all, the top ten rewards in this Wangcheng competition, whether it is the Lingyuan Pill or the medium-grade spirit stone, or the casual reading of the half-day martial arts books in the Daozang Palace, are all treasures and opportunities that cannot be obtained on weekdays.

Seeing this, Nangong Changliu smiled even more on his face, and said loudly: "At present, there is only one night left before the competition in the royal city tomorrow, so you can rest well tonight, and tomorrow the military academy will discuss success or failure." ”

With that, he got up and said goodbye to all the city lords present, and wanted to leave first.

Duan Chen and the others were also ready to get up and leave the Wanhe Palace.

At this time, Ai Dong, who was sitting on the left side of Nangong Changliu, suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "Wait!"

When everyone in the hall heard this, they couldn't help but stop one by one, and turned their heads to look at Ai Dong in confusion.

I saw Ai Dong leave his position and walk sideways, walked in front of Duan Chen, stared at him carefully for a long time, and asked, "This little brother is very kind-faced, where have we seen it before?"

Duan Chen shook his head and said, "I don't remember seeing Ai Daoyou. ”

Ai Dong frowned slightly and said: "Ai has always had an excellent memory, and he will never be mistaken, and he also asked the little brother to tell his name, maybe he can make Ai recall." ”

His gaze turned, constantly looking at Duan Chen.

When he mentioned Gao Han, he couldn't help but look at Duan Chen twice, his face changed suddenly, and he suddenly remembered someone in his mind.

Duan Chen was a little uncomfortable stared at by the two, and said: "In the next surname Duan, a single name is a Chen character, Ai Daoyou has really seen it before?"

Ai Dong didn't seem to hear Duan Chen's words, and repeatedly chanted the word Duan Chen in his mouth, and after whispering a few times, his body suddenly trembled, and his pupils shrank slightly when his eyes stared at Duan Chen.

At this time, everyone in the hall saw that Ai Dong was silent for a long time, and many people noticed the abnormal color on his face.

Nangong Changliu saw that Ai Dong was full of different colors, and couldn't help laughing: Ai Dong Daoyou has never been to my Great Wilderness Dynasty, so I think I should have remembered it wrongly. ”

Ai Dong came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly smiled: "There are too many similar people in this world, Ai remembered a mistake at some point, and I am really ashamed to disturb you." ”

After saying that, he bowed slightly and retreated to Gao Han's side, not daring to look at Duan Chen again.

Although Duan Chen felt that Ai Dong's behavior was a little strange, he didn't take this matter to heart.

After a while of greetings from the lords of the cities in the palace, he followed the people of Qingshan City out of the Great Wilderness Palace and returned to live in an inn in the city, obviously not planning to return to the Nangong family.
