Imperial View June 1055.

After Bai Qi left the Song Kingdom in Zhongzhou, three years have passed.

The southern part of the Shenlong Kingdom in Tianhua Prefecture, Tianlong City.

A group of carriages slowly walked from outside the city to the south gate, and when they reached the city gate, they stopped and were questioned by officers and soldiers.

Because Tianlong City is located in the south of the Shenlong Kingdom and is extremely close to the border of the Shenlong Kingdom, the people who enter and leave the city are carefully checked.

After the leading officers and soldiers circled the carriage, they waved their hands without asking anything, signaling that they could enter the city.

There is no other reason, he knows the clothes of this group of people, and they are the first-class sects in Tianlong City, the disciples of the Tianhuo Sect.

There were not many wagons that entered the city, only two wagons, and three horses alone, for a total of eight people.

After the officers and soldiers were released, a long-haired man dressed in red, riding a white horse, took the lead in the front.

It's also because it's in the city, but the speed doesn't dare to be too fast, for fear of accidentally hurting passers-by on the street, so it moves at a turtle speed.

Behind the man on a white horse, two carriages followed closely behind, one in front of the other.

At the back, a man dressed in red, riding two horses, followed behind.

In a carriage in front of them, there were two women in red dresses, one petite and exquisite, and the other beautiful and dignified, the former was called Qianling, who was the closed disciple of the second elder of the Tianhuo Sect, and the latter was called Shangguanyin, who was the eldest disciple of the second elder.

At this moment, the two of them were facing the back of the carriage and sitting side by side.

Opposite them, there was a man in black with short hair, but surprisingly, this man's face looked like a woman's.

Judging by his closed eyes, he must have passed out.

"Senior Sister Qianling, you are kind-hearted, I know this, but you are saving an unknown person on the side of the road like this, what if something happens? Have you forgotten the person you saved on the side of the road last year?"

The woman who was called Senior Sister Qianling didn't speak, just stared at the man in black who was unconscious, her eyes were red, and along the way, her senior sister kept persuading her not to meddle in her affairs.

Seeing her junior sister looking aggrieved, tears were rolling in her eyes, the beautiful and dignified woman seemed to be a little unbearable, sighed helplessly, and continued: "Senior Sister Qian, I don't blame you, it's just that our results in this assessment this time are so bad that I don't know how to explain to the master when I go back, and you are now picking up someone on the side of the road to go back, I guess the master will be so angry that he jumps......"

"Senior Sister Shangguan, can you bear to watch him die on the side of the road?" Qian Ling glanced at the man in black lying opposite, and then looked at his senior sister, and said stubbornly.

Shangguan Yin actually wants to say, bear with me!

But after seeing the pure eyes of his little sister, he still couldn't help but say it.

The person that Qian Ling saved on the side of the road last year was not really an injured person, but an opponent of the Heavenly Fire Sect, a disciple of the Heavenly Thunder Sect.

At that time, Qianling saw a man covered in blood, lying on the side of the road, moved with compassion, regardless of the obstruction of his senior brother and sister, ran to the man's side alone, and before she squatted down, she was grabbed by the man with one hand, and then used magic to escape from the place with Qianling.

All this happened too fast, even if Shangguan Yin was next to him, he couldn't stop it in time.

The moment the man fled with Qianling, he threw a piece of paper to Shangguan Yin, and the general content of the paper was that the Second Elder's Shenhuo Gate was not allowed to participate in the Shenlong Conference held by the Shenlong Sect, otherwise he would kill Qianling.

When the second elder Wang Yiyuan learned the news, he was so angry that he smashed the table with one palm, but because Qianling was in the other party's hands, and he didn't know who took Qianling away.

Therefore, it was not easy to get the qualification to participate in the Divine Dragon Conference, so she had to choose to give up, and after the Divine Dragon Conference, Qianling came back and told Wang Yiyuan that the person who took her was from the Heavenly Thunder Sect.

The Second Elder's Divine Fire Sect gave up participating in the Divine Dragon Conference, which meant that the entire Heavenly Fire Sect had given up participating in the Divine Dragon Conference.

For this reason, from last year to this year, their Divine Fire Sect has endured the cynicism of other disciples.

The entire Heavenly Fire Sect is divided into five gates, namely the Great Elder's Xuanhuo Gate, the Second Elder's Divine Fire Gate, the Third Elder's Extreme Fire Gate, the Fourth Elder's Supreme Fire Gate, and the Fifth Elder's Red Fire Gate.

They went out of the city for assessment this time, and it was all deliberately arranged by the second elder Wang Yiyuan, that is, their master.

Wang Yiyuan did this in order to meet the upcoming grand event, the five doors competed for the top, and only by winning the first place in the five doors could he be eligible to participate in the Shenlong Conference!

In addition, the competition for the first place in the five sects also played a role in motivating the disciples of the sect, and winning the first place in the grand event would have extremely rich rewards, including high-grade magic weapons and powerful talismans.

"That's it, everyone has been saved, it's a big deal that I'll accompany you to be scolded. In the end, Shangguan Yin shook her head helplessly, she really couldn't bear to refuse this little junior sister who both made her love and angry.

"I knew that Senior Sister wouldn't be so hard-hearted!" Seeing that Shangguan Yin no longer stopped bringing the man in black back to the Heavenly Fire Sect, a smile instantly appeared on Qian Ling's face.

"It's okay to take him back, but you have to listen to me, or I'll leave him in the car right now and leave him to fend for himself." For the sake of safety, Shangguan Yin felt the need to ring the alarm bell for Qianling.

Hearing this, Qian Ling had a trace of doubt on his face, although he didn't know what his senior sister was going to say, he still nodded.

"After settling him down and smashing the sect, you are not allowed to meet him alone, you know, if you want to see him, you must be accompanied by someone!" Shangguan Yin said solemnly.

"Senior sister, don't worry! I will never go to see him alone without you by my side!" Qian Ling patted his chest and assured Shangguanyin.

Not long after, Shangguan Yin and his party finally returned to the Heavenly Fire Sect.

The Heavenly Fire Sect is located in the eastern city of Tianlong City, and the entire sect area is extremely large, occupying almost half of the eastern city.

The five gates are built around the main hall of the Heavenly Fire Sect, starting from the Xuanhuo Gate directly north of the main hall, in clockwise order, they are the Divine Fire Gate, the Extreme Fire Gate, the Zhihuo Gate, and the Red Fire Gate.

And the Shenhuo Gate where Shangguan Yin wants to go back is just in the northeast direction of the main hall of the Tianhuo Sect, and he has to pass through the square of the Extreme Fire Gate on the way.

In the square, the disciples of the Extreme Fire Gate happened to be sitting together at this time, and in the middle of them, there stood a young man with an extraordinary bearing, who was holding a book in his hand, as if he was explaining something.

But after they saw Shangguan Yin and his party, the young man standing didn't know what to say, and everyone looked at Shangguan Yin and the others in unison in surprise, and then laughed unscrupulously.

"Senior sister, it's all because of my ......" Qian Ling, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at Shangguanyin guiltily after hearing the ridicule outside.

Shangguan Yin didn't speak, showed a smile, and touched Qianling's head.

After returning to the Shenhuo Gate, Shangguan Yin beckoned his disciples, placed the unconscious man in black properly, and then came to the study of the second elder Wang Yiyuan with Qianling.

At this moment, there were already two young men standing in the study, their heads bowed, and their expressions of confession.

Behind the desk opposite them, there was a bald-headed middle-aged man, who was none other than Second Elder Wang Yiyuan.

Wang Yiyuan held a pen in his hand, writing and drawing on a book with a blank face, and he didn't know what he was writing.

However, judging from the strength and speed of his pen, the mood should be relatively poor.

When Shangguan Yin and Qianling saw this scene, they didn't dare to kick it, and stood aside obediently, waiting for their master to deal with it.

"You are very disappointed in me, just such a simple assessment, you can't satisfy me, how can you satisfy me in the next five competitions?" Wang Yiyuan put down the pen in his hand and raised his head to look at his four apprentices.

The eldest apprentice, Shangguan Yin, has no strength to say, in the entire Tianhuo Sect, he is one of the best existences, and the only drawback is that he is too cautious.

The second apprentice, Zhao Tiezhu, can barely satisfy Wang Yiyuan, the advantage is loyalty and honesty, and the disadvantage is also loyalty and honesty.

The third apprentice, Sikong Yu, is arrogant and arrogant, but the only thing that satisfies Wang Yiyuan is that his strength is second only to Shangguanyin.

Four apprentices Qianling, Wang Yiyuan is extremely dissatisfied!

He couldn't help but want to fan himself when he saw Qianling now, why did he take a fancy to her in the first place?

Since accepting Qianling as a closed disciple, she has never done anything that makes her happy and satisfied!

After last year's incident, not only was his disciple sneered at by others, but he was also often treated coldly and unfairly by the other four elders.

Even the magic weapons, pills, and silver that were originally allocated to the Divine Fire Sect every year were all snatched away by the other four elders, and of course, this was also with the tacit approval of the Sect Master of the Heavenly Fire Sect.

If last year's incident hadn't happened, Wang Yiyuan would not agree to anything, but after last year's incident, he really didn't have the face to object.

Although these things did not have much effect on him, they were not small for his disciples.

If you want to make the Shenhuo Gate stronger, it is useless to rely on him alone, you have to make all the disciples under the sect stronger, and that is called strong.

Wang Yiyuan's indifferent gaze swept over the four Shangguanyin people one by one, looking at the four apprentices who were silent, Wang Yiyuan finally slowed down his tone.

"There is still a week to go, there will be a five-door competition, as far as the current situation of our Shenhuo Gate is concerned, only Shangguan Yin can completely reassure me, Zhao Tiezhu and Sikong Yu can only say that it depends on luck, and then there are two places left, who do you say is appropriate?"

Each elder needs to send five disciples to participate.

Taking the Extreme Fire Gate as an example, the Shenhuo Gate and the Extreme Fire Gate competed, and each side sent five disciples, and no substitutions were allowed halfway, and three wins were taken in five games.

In other words, as long as three of the five disciples of the Shenhuo Sect can win, it means that the Shenhuo Sect will win this competition and then advance to the next one.

Hearing Wang Yiyuan's words, Shangguan Yin frowned thoughtfully, as the senior sister of the Shenhuo Gate, she couldn't be clearer about the situation in the door.

Qianling can only be regarded as making up the numbers, and the last game is the kind that is bound to lose.

Then there was the last place left, and Shangguanyin really couldn't find a suitable candidate.

The reason why they were able to win the first place in the five competitions last year was because a disciple named Sun Zai turned the tide and defeated his opponent in the last competition.

But after Wang Yiyuan chose to give up participating in the Shenlong Conference, this disciple named Sun Zai left the Shenhuo Gate and went to the Xuanhuo Gate.
