The Tianyang Dynasty ruled the vast region, the size of the city is innumerable, in order to facilitate the rule, each city has a city lord's position, its status is also determined by the size of the city, the larger the city, the higher the status of the city lord, the stronger the strength.

There is a guard army in the city, called the city army, directly under the jurisdiction of the central government, only when dealing with the relevant things in the city, the city lord can be mobilized, and every time the city army is called, it must be written to the court, stating the cause and effect, once there is a suspicion of privately mobilizing the city army, he is the city lord will come to an end, and the light will be sent to exile, and the heavy will be the head of the land.

Even so, in the land of a city, the city lord is still noble and cannot be offended, after all, the court will not pay too much attention to the affairs of a city, otherwise everything will have to be handled by the court, then it will be too busy, what else do you want the city lord to do?

The so-called report is just a process, at most, it is to let the military department take a look, and even the emperor will not see it, so many times, as long as the city lord fabricates a reason, the city army can be mobilized.

Therefore, as the lord of a city, as long as he does not overdo it, this city is the world of the city lord, and the people in the city naturally have to obey the rules set by the city lord and form an orderly order.

Among the many cities, there is a famous big city in the central region, Xuanming City, spanning thousands of miles, surrounded by tall city walls, and there is only one main gate leading to Xuanming City.

This door is made of extremely hard stainless steel, wide and heavy, up to more than ten zhang, even the strong people of the Qi Refining Realm are difficult to open, and on the top of the city gate are stationed a line of ironclad soldiers holding spears, guarding here, with solemn faces, all the strong people of the Qi Refining Realm.

In the middle of the gate, there was a row of people dressed in various costumes, ordinary people, young warriors, and sons of families, all of whom were quietly interrogated by the soldiers, paid the entrance fee, and only entered, not crowded, not noisy, everything was in order.

Being able to govern Xuanming City so well, it is conceivable what kind of prestige the city lord of Xuanming City has here, I don't know how much better it is than Taihua City, it is not that Taihua City does not have a city lord, but Taihua City has three major families rampant, and there is a revered Taihua Sect, the position of city lord has long been like a fictitious, exists in name only, and it is impossible to have such prestige like Xuanming City.

For this, the city lord of Taihua City also resisted, and reported to the above, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news, and over time, even the city lord only took care of his own life and let it go.

At this, there was no reaction from the whole court, and I don't know whether I didn't know, or I didn't care about it and let it be.

And at this moment, two figures flickered from a distance, and behind them was the dust that was kicked up by them, flying all over the sky, and suddenly stopped not far from Xuanyin City, staring at the magnificent city in front of them, and there was an irrepressible ecstasy on their faces.

"It's here, we're here!" said one of the younger teenagers, red-faced, panting, and excited.

This young man is naturally Bai Yu, after the horses are tired to death, he and Mo Ying ran wild for a whole day, and finally came to the city of Xuanying, it can be said that he is tired and half dead, sweating like rain, his face is dusty, although his clothes are still complete, they are also a little messy, and they look better than beggars.

Looking at the Xuanying City under the sunset, Mo Ying was also a little excited, and said: "It's finally here, hurry up and enter the city, today is tired enough, and the sky is about to get dark, so I will find an inn in the city to rest for a night, and tomorrow I will inquire about the news and buy items." ”

Seeing that people were consciously lining up to enter the city, and Bai Yu and the others were also in the back, Bai Yu said softly: "I don't know what kind of city this is, it is so well managed, even when you enter the city, you have to queue up to enter the city, and everyone consciously abides by it, the city we passed through before was not so strict." ”

His words were addressed to Mo Ying, but before Mo Ying could speak, one of the people in front of him turned his head, glanced at the two of them, and said: "The two of you came from afar, naturally you don't know, this city is called Xuan Ying City, which is one of the best in the surrounding cities, and has a prominent reputation. ”

When this person mentioned the city lord of Xuanming City in his words, he was full of respect, he came to Xuanming City this time to see the style of the city lord, and many people's purpose was this, of course, the city lord was naturally not seen by anyone, that is, a few days ago, there was a news that attracted many people to come to Xuanming City.

"I see, thank you for telling me. Bai Yu clenched his fist at this person, and then asked: "According to the below, Brother Tai must be a well-informed person, there is something I want to ask below, I don't know if it is possible?"

seemed to be complimented by Bai Yu's well-informed, and suddenly smiled, and said: "The little brother has won the award, how can I be considered well-informed, but since the little brother wants to ask, just say it directly, don't be polite, I will definitely know everything, and I will say everything!"

"Brother Tai is righteous, then I'll ask below, Brother Tai can know where the Imperial City is located, and how far is it from Xuan Ying City?" Bai Yu asked.

Hearing this, the man frowned, glanced at Bai Yu and the others, and said, "You want to go to the Imperial City?"

"Yes, if Brother Tai knows, please tell the two of you, I am grateful. Mo Ying spoke.

The man pondered for a long time before he said, "Do you know what kind of place the Imperial City is? Not everyone can go there, if it is not something very important, the two of you should dispel such thoughts." ”

"Don't hide it from Brother Tai, we do have something important to do when we go to the Imperial City, and the time is urgent, we can't afford to delay at all, and I ask Brother Tai to inform us. How could Bai Yu and the others give up, and asked.

"That's right. The two people in the world refused to give up, so they said: "In this case, I won't stop the two of you, but this imperial city has never been to Xia, I'm afraid I can't tell you, but the city lord of Xuanyin City is noble, you should know, if you can attract his attention, maybe he will help you." ”

Bai Yu and the others were a little disappointed, and Mo Ying suddenly asked, "Where does the city lord of Xuanyin City live, does Brother Tai know?"

The man shook his head and said: "The city lord naturally lives in the city lord's mansion, located in the center of Xuanyin City, but the city lord is not seen by everyone, it is heavily guarded, even the heads of several major families in Xuanyin City need to be notified through layers of reports, and it is not certain that you can see it, even if you find the city lord's mansion, you will not be able to see the city lord himself." ”

"Then according to that, we can't see the city lord anymore, and how can we get him to pay attention to it?" Bai Yu was a little depressed, even the family master of Xuan Ying City might not be able to see the city lord, and he and Mo Ying couldn't see each other, and finally had some clues, but they couldn't grasp it, this feeling really made him very depressed.

But at this moment, the man smiled and said: "Little brother don't be discouraged, there are still some opportunities, not long ago the city lord of Xuanming City issued a notice to invite the younger generation of Xuanming City to hold a meeting in Xuanming City, and the top three martial arts can make a request to the city lord, as long as it is not too much, they will agree, if you can compete for the top three, there is hope." ”

"Doesn't it mean that only the younger generation of Xuan Netherworld can participate?" Bai Yu was a little puzzled.

"Haha, little brother, when did I say that only the young generation who were born and raised in Xuanming City can participate? As soon as the notice was issued, it spread all over Xuanming City and some surrounding cities, and many young heroes flocked to it, what do you think? As long as you step into Xuanming City before the martial arts start and sign up, you will be considered the younger generation of Xuanming City. The man laughed.

Hearing this, Bai Yu suddenly realized, I see, the young generation of Xuan Ming City in the notice is counting the young heroes who are stranded in Xuan Ming City, after all, Xuan Ming City is famous, and the people in the city are not necessarily native, if it is strictly distinguished, it will not only be a waste of time, but also unnecessary.

"Thank you Brother Tai for mentioning it, under Bai Yu, this is Mo Ying, I don't know if you can tell us the name of Brother Tai?" Bai Yu pointed to Mo Ying to introduce it, and then said with a fist at the man.

"Bai Yu, Mo Ying, good name, in Xia Yu Wen, it's a pleasure to meet the two. The man also declared his name, and hugged his fist.

And at this time, it was already their turn, and the three of them took out the silver taels one after another and handed them to the guards, and after a brief check, they entered the city, of course, Moying's share was taken out by Bai Yu.

And just as they entered the city, a loud bell rang that resounded throughout the world, and the soldiers guarding both sides of the city gate neatly gathered and left, and several ironclad soldiers walked to both sides of the city gate, and together they closed the city gate with difficulty, making a dull sound.

At this time, the sun is setting, night is approaching, the city gate is closed and no further entry and exit are allowed, and the vendors in the city are also closing their stalls and leaving, everything is so natural.

"Bai Yu and Mo Ying two brothers, Xuanming City will be martial arts for some time, it's getting late today, let's find an inn to live in, and tomorrow I won't take you to visit Xuanming City, the prosperity here is difficult to compare with other cities. Yuwen Buhua said to the two.

The two agreed, and stayed in a relatively simple inn in the city, the fee here is not low, even this simple inn costs ten taels of silver a night, not to mention other more exquisite inns.

In the following days, Bai Yu and the two of them had a good time in Xuanming City under the leadership of Yuwen Buhua, and understood what prosperity is, compared to Dugu City, and there will be no sense of noise at any time.

Xuanming City is worthy of being a big city that can be famous in all directions, and sure enough, the city lord of Xuanming City doesn't know what kind of person it is, and Bai Yu and the others are a little curious.

......

One morning, Yang Yan's closed eyes in the Taihua Sect suddenly opened, and a fine light flashed in his eyes, and when he looked at his body, he saw that the bone marrow in it was ruddy like a newborn baby, covered with a faint golden light, full of life force.

Retracting his gaze, Yang Yan grasped his five fingers and felt the explosive power in it, and today he finally quenched his marrow, and his strength increased a few points, and he really wanted to fight a hearty battle.

But soon, the ancestral land, the inheritance of the Yunxiao Divine Sect, don't let this prince down.

Perfect quenching, only the last step is missing, and it is also the most critical step!
