Chapter 67 The Swordsman
"I didn't expect to meet you here. ”
"On the contrary, I have wanted to see you for a long time, but unfortunately, you are as ...... as rumored"
"Listening to your tone, it looks like I'm disappointed. ”
"That's right, I've got one less opponent, and you know, our generation has been following you. ”
Sitting opposite Jiang Li, the young man who claimed to be his contemporary, with a righteous face, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a splendid yellow robe symbolized his identity in this imperial capital is also extraordinary.
However, what is more noticeable is his extraordinary temperament, giving the people around him a feeling of spring breeze, he looks two years older than Jiang Li, but for those who are cultivating, he is still quite young.
From his words, it could be heard that he recognized Jiang Li's strength back then, but when he spoke, his expression was full of regret.
Looking at his appearance, Jiang Li had no choice but to smile bitterly, it was completely voluntary for him to abandon his cultivation back then, and now he has no regrets.
I only heard him say: "The great prince of the dignified empire, the "Haoran Swordsman" praised by everyone, your opponent should never be me, but the "honest Taoist" of Taoism, or the "cold face Xiao Qian" of the Sword Sect, and the "Linglong Fairy" of the Snow Sect, there may have been my third brother back then, but unfortunately there seems to be something wrong with his practice." ”
"These people you mentioned might have been able to fight with me or even defeat me back then, but now...... The Taoist may be able to be invincible by virtue of the subtlety of Taoist exercises, and others ......"
After speaking, he shook his head again, thinking that of the few people Jiang Li mentioned, maybe only one of them could be invincible in front of him, and the others were definitely defeated.
These words sounded very crazy and arrogant, but Jiang Li knew that this imperial prince, a person named Bai Haoran, was not exaggerating himself or belittling others, his tone was very flat, as if he was just telling a fact.
And since this person said so, he has great confidence and confidence in himself, the so-called "swordsman, lonely and straight", this person naturally also has his arrogance, but also has peerless self-confidence.
In this regard, Jiang Li was a little envious and a little sorry for himself, but it was useless to think too much about what had happened, and after a little greeting, the two got down to business.
"You should also know that I have something to do with Shuangshu, right?"
"I heard my father say that when you won the championship, you gave up the opportunity to be rewarded and asked for this place for them. ”
"Yes, it's just a matter of one sentence, and today the two of them invited you for me, and there are some things I want to ask you for. ”
"If you need any medicinal herbs, I can decide, no matter how precious they are, as long as the empire has them, I will definitely get them for you. ”
Hearing the meaning of this, he thought that Jiang Li was seeking the treasure medicine in order to restore his cultivation, and at the same time, it could also show how eager he was to fight again.
This time he should have received his intentions, but Jiang Li still shook his head and said: "This trip is not for private matters, you should have heard about the earthquake and gale, I am here for that group of people." ”
Hearing this, Bai Haoran squinted his eyes and looked at Jiang Li for a while, "I can't imagine that you are now at such a point that you would still think about ordinary mortals." ”
After shaking his head, he continued: "It's useless, that group of people is already hiding, unless the emperor's father goes out to look for it, it will be difficult to find, but unfortunately he can't leave the imperial capital at will, and ...... And that group of people is not the primary goal at the moment, and there are more important things to face at the moment. ”
After hesitating for a moment, he finally said it, although the word "demon clan" was not mentioned, it was already obvious, Jiang Li also frowned, thinking to himself Could it be that the demon clan really made a big move?
Without asking him, Bai Haoran seemed to be thinking about how to explain, and then he slowly spoke: "A few days ago, the three great saints of the demon clan came to the imperial palace, saying that they were coming to negotiate, and they almost made a move, but fortunately, the Sword Saint and the Snow Saint came to support the emperor's father, and in the end they failed to fight.
However, in order to appease the demon clan, he finally agreed to some of their requests, allowing the three demon saints to each bring three people to participate in the Divine Prefecture Conference, corresponding to the fifth, sixth, and seventh realms of the Terran monks. ”
Did they even join forces to force the White Emperor to agree to the other party's conditions? What did these demon clans want to do? Jiang Li couldn't help but ask many questions in his heart.
It's a pity that this is not something that can be ignored at the moment, so he asked, "I heard that the rules of this world conference are different from what I thought, what are they exactly?"
At the time of the last conference, he had only been formally cultivating for less than three years, and even winning the championship was only a breakthrough in the middle of the five realms in battle.
At that time, there was an age limit, and the purpose of the conference, in addition to competition and exchange, was also to select outstanding young geniuses for the human race.
Therefore, the participants must be under the age of twenty-four, precisely because the qualifications of ordinary people are acceptable, and they can enter the five realms at the latest at the age of twenty-four, and this age, in the cultivation world, can barely be called a "teenager".
Now that he heard that the rules had changed, it seemed that the group of people back then could still participate, and at the same time, the other party mentioned the realm of the people who participated in the meeting of the demon clan, so he asked.
"Today's rules have changed a lot, each sect can only play a maximum of three people, five, six, and seven realms of each of the three realms, there is no age limit, take turns to challenge, time is a pillar of incense, and those who do not distinguish the winner or loser are out, of course, they still can't hurt their lives. ”
Hiss!
After listening to this, Jiang Li gasped, this is too exaggerated, not to mention the rest, no age limit means that the elders of the same realm have more advantages, and I don't know if the major forces will want some face.
What made him even more astonishing was that a pillar of incense had to distinguish the winner and loser, which also announced that the two sides had to use real skills when they started, and they didn't even have too much time to try, and they couldn't maliciously kill the opponent, and the difficulty of this can be imagined.
If all places send people from the peak of each realm, then ...... Isn't there nothing wrong with young people, although most sects will have some bearing, but who can guarantee that there will be "unvirtuous" people who are only for profit.
And then there is, ordinary duels, two people who are comparable to each other, I am afraid that it is common to fight for a few hours, and the people of the Seven Realms can fight it for a few days and nights, and now they want to divide the victory and defeat in a pillar of incense, which ......
Jiang Li was also a little confused, and he didn't know what the White Emperor wanted, so he looked at the person sitting opposite him again with an inquiring look.
"The emperor's actions have their own deep meanings, and I have not inquired, of course, this rule is also what I am happy to see, but it's a pity that you ...... Alas......" Bai Haoran said and began to shake his head and sigh again, as if Jiang Li seemed to be the only opponent.
In this regard, Jiang Li could only smile bitterly, and then he asked again: "I wonder if you can introduce Bai Sheng for me?"
"Emperor Father, what do you want to see him? I'm afraid he doesn't have time to meet guests for the time being, his old man and the holy master are all preparing for the conference and the affairs of the demon clan.
As for what you are worried about, you can put it aside for the time being, after the Holy Master and the Emperor Father discussed it before, they have already arranged for people to investigate, and they will definitely not let the other party have another chance to make trouble.
At the same time, the emperor ordered all countries not to attack the two countries for any reason before the truth was revealed, but if you want to see the two of them, I am afraid that you will have to be above or after the conference. ”
It turned out that the empire had already taken action, Jiang Li was much relieved after hearing this, and coupled with the manpower on his side, he believed that he would definitely be able to detect it in advance.
Now it is different from the previous two times, if the other party makes another move, after knowing in advance, he can directly enter the imperial palace to ask the White Emperor to send troops to block it.
Even if it is inconvenient for the White Emperor to go in person, it is believed that the forces created by the United Shuangshu and the help of the imperial army will be enough to resist that group of "evil ghosts".
So what we have to consider now is what the purpose of the demon clan is, but unfortunately I don't know what the big names talked about specifically, and now they can only take one step at a time.
Since it is useless to think about it for a long time, he doesn't think about it, this is Jiang Li's approach.
At this time, he had leisure, and he looked at the person in front of him seriously, a gentleman, hidden but not revealed, introverted, and upright, this is the impression that Haoran swordsman Bai Haoran gave him.
"Huh?"
Just as he was observing the other party, Jiang Li suddenly let out a question.
"Your perception is really still so keen, that's right, I can break the mirror at any time, but I deliberately suppressed it for this conference. ”
Bai Haoran's meaning was naturally to suppress the demon clan in the conference.
In this way, Jiang Li was even more relieved, with him, the competition of the Six Realms, the demon clan would not have the slightest chance to win.
Just as he was about to say congratulations, he heard Bai Haoran's voice continue to come.
"Brother Li'er, would you like to fight with me?"
