Chapter 404: The Gathering of Storms
......
A group of dozens of people, dressed in uniform costumes, walked vigorously and resolutely, led by an old figure wrapped in a dark blue robe, slowly walked into the square. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info These dozens of people, although they are of different ages, all have ordinary fortitude on their faces, and even, faintly, there is a trace of anger.
The arrival of these dozens of people immediately suppressed the restless atmosphere of the audience, and the Imperial Capital Square, which was enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, fell into an extremely silent silence at this moment, and even several powerful people with transcendent status in the empire on the top of the stands also invariably stopped chatting and turned their eyes to the dozens of people who suddenly appeared. And when these dozens of people walked to the square, the dense crowd in the square immediately divided into left and right, leaving a passage several meters wide for it.
Walking calmly and resolutely, these dozens of people will cause a low and inaudible sound of discussion every time they pass by those staring crowds, these voices are full of incomparable respect and admiration, after dozens of people pass, the crowd in the rear are involuntarily shouting, and even more, some girls are crazy to dedicate their worship to these dozens of people.
The quiet atmosphere disappeared with the staggered shouts that quietly rose, and in an instant, an incomparably huge sound wave covered the entire Imperial Capital Square.
That's right, these dozens of people are the people in the Dantang led by Qingchen. At this time, Qingchen and the others had already walked to the side of the edge of the ring, and that was the resting place that the empire had prepared for the two sides based on this battle of Doudan.
Countless shocked and envious gazes swept over the faces of dozens of people, and they found that among the people from this Dantang, there was a look of resentment, and their slightly angry eyes also scattered at the same time as the old man at the front of the line stopped. The purpose is to find the person who dares to provoke the Dantang.
Seeing the dozens of people walking on foot from Dantang, on the stands, the leaders of several powerful people all moved their faces, and they were immediately surprised. In their eyes, the monks of this Dan Hall had always kept a low profile, and although they knew that the number of Dan cultivators cultivated in the Dan Hall was extremely large, no one had usually seen more than ten Dan cultivators appear together. But today, Dantang's high-profile behavior really shocked these transcendent martial cultivators, and even those dense crowds who only had a lively mentality were even more shocked.
Throughout the two hundred years since the establishment of Dantang, it is the first time that such a huge battle has been held.
On the stands, Qiu Sheng, the current head of the four major families and the current head of the Marin Chamber of Commerce, and Xu Zhen, who is rumored to be the strongest person in the empire, stood there with a solemn face and did not say a word.
"What a strong lineup. After a moment, Qiu Sheng gasped and exclaimed.
Qiu Sheng's sigh was not very loud, but because of his position and his status in the imperial capital, he attracted the attention of countless people as soon as he opened his mouth. Then, after hearing Qiu Sheng's words that contained incomparable surprise, everyone in the square once again turned their eyes to the dozens of people in this Dantang.
As a result, exclamations rang out in pieces. At the extreme, everyone was shocked to find from the cuffs of the Dantang that among the dozens of people in the Dantang this time, the lowest level of them was the first-level Dan Master, and even there were only a few Dan masters at this level, and the main force to build this team was actually all some second-level and even third-level Dan masters, and the front position of the team, there were two fourth-level Dan master powerhouses, and the most shocking thing was that the old man at the head was a fifth-level Dan master.
It's not that there are no fifth-level Dan Masters on the continent, but there will never be many of them. Judging by this situation, everyone has already guessed that the leader this time must be the rumored Dantang Hall Master: Qingchen is undoubted.
Countless admiring and adoring eyes shot towards Qingchen at the same time, and for a while, there was a chaotic discussion in the square again.
Being able to see this old man who was famous in the empire and even on the continent with his own eyes, the crowd of onlookers was excited and excited.
And when they turned their gaze slightly to the side, they became startled again.
On Qingchen's side, a step back, a tall young man was standing there with a calm face, looking at his face, although it was not very handsome, but his face was extremely resolute, especially his dark eyes, which looked extremely unusual in this exciting occasion.
The young man next to Qingchen is naturally the protagonist of this battle of Doudan, Ou Chuyang. And the reason why he has attracted the attention of countless people is that the position in which he stands is extremely delicate.
Ou Chuyang was standing beside Qingchen, a little back, and behind him were the two elders, Yang and Liu. In the imperial capital, there may be very few people who really know Qingchen, but for the two Dantang elders Yang and Liu behind Ou Chuyang, almost everyone knows it. They all knew that these two figures were the elder-level figures who were currently second only to Qingchen in the Dan Hall, and some of the external activities of the Dan Hall were generally managed by these two elders. But right now, Ou Chuyang is standing in the middle of Qingchen and the two elders, how can such a position not make people look at it a little?
Some scheming people, when they saw Ou Chuyang's position, almost immediately thought of the rumored Qingchen disciple, and then, after the former's whispering spread, it immediately attracted an exclamation.
"Is that him?"
"It should be, otherwise you can't stand so high, you know, Dan cultivators attach great importance to rank. ”
"That's him. I've seen him, that day at the Marin Auction House..."After seeing Ou Chuyang, some sharp-eyed people immediately thought of the scene at the Marin Auction House a month ago, and immediately confirmed.
"He's a second-level Dan Master! no wonder he was accepted as a disciple by the Qingchen Hall Master, he has such strength at such a young age. Seeing the logo on Ou Chuyang's cuffs, combined with the former's slightly immature face, countless people exclaimed.
The gradually rising voices of discussion almost spread throughout the entire Imperial Capital Square, but Ou Chuyang, as the protagonist, was calm at this time, and was not affected by such a warm tide of discussions. Although his face was unmoved, his heart was as shocked as the crowd outside.
His eyes swept over the few old men who were walking slowly towards him, and Ou Chuyang found that he didn't know anyone except Qiu Sheng and Xu Zhen, although he didn't recognize him, but Ou Chuyang found that the rest of them actually came in parallel with Qiu Sheng and Xu Zhen. There are definitely only a handful of characters who can be on an equal footing with these two in the Feiyun Empire. It is not difficult to imagine that these must be the characters of the four major families. And the four major families can be at the same level as the first two old men, and they are definitely the four family masters.
Looking at the several old men who came closer, Ou Chuyang's face still did not change, his expression was like a person who had been killed for a long time, and he would not be affected by the outside world at all.
"Haha~, Brother Qingchen, don't come unharmed. ”
Qingchen and the others had just stood still, and several high-status old men in the stands greeted them with smiling faces, and before they could come to the front, they all hugged their fists and greeted them.
A few people came in front of him, Qingchen's always low face finally eased, and forcibly squeezed out a smile, Qingchen bowed his hand slightly to a few people, and said, "Brother Luo, Brother Ou, Brother Gongsun, Brother Tao, Brother Qiu." I didn't expect everyone to come. ”
Hearing this, the four of them all looked at each other and smiled, and then Gongsun Yang, the big mouth, took the lead and smiled: "Haha, Brother Qingchen has something, how can I turn a blind eye, this time, if Brother Qingchen needs anything, just open your mouth, my Gongsun Yang will definitely do his best to help." Gongsun Yang said, patted his chest fiercely, and expressed his position in his tone, obviously, this old man intended to use this "good opportunity" to get closer to Qingchen.
How shrewd were the people present, how could they not hear the meaning of Gongsun Yang's words, the other three masters glanced at Gongsun Yang, and immediately showed disdain, but then, these three families also said similar words, obviously, they were also showing favor to Qingchen.
After all, being able to have a good relationship with an organization like Dantang is equivalent to attracting a powerful foreign aid for his family. This could not be more obvious.
Listening to several masters express their intentions one after another, Qingchen realized their intentions, but he didn't show it, just pretended to be grateful: "A few gentlemen, Qingchen should keep in mind, here, Qingchen on behalf of Dantang to thank you for your kindness." ”
Qingchen said, hugging his fists, the meaning is also extremely obvious, you can appear on my Dantang's side, and you will not lose your benefits in the future. Of course, he didn't say this kind of benefit explicitly, but only revealed it vaguely. Even so, it made the faces of these four masters look happy.
"This is Brother Qingchen's disciple?" After the polite words were spoken, someone began to notice that Ou Chuyang beside Qingchen was coming, and the person who spoke was the head of the Luo family of Chiyang Palace, Luo Hong.
Reaching out and patting Ou Chuyang's shoulder, Qingchen grabbed Ou Chuyang and said to a few people: "It's the disciple of the younger brother, his name is Ou Chuyang?"
"Ou Chuyang?" Hearing this, Ou Cheng was startled, and then remembered the baby who was expelled from the family by himself, and his old face immediately became gloomy, but the gloomy face flashed and did not arouse the suspicion of others.
Looking at Ou Chuyang's cuffs, Luo Hong smiled and praised: "You are worthy of being a disciple of Brother Qingchen, you are a second-level Dan master at a young age, and your future is limitless." ”
"Where. Where. Qingchen said modestly.
A few old foxes were in vain for a while, and at this time, someone found that Xu Zhen was not beside Qiu Sheng, and immediately asked, "What about Old Xu? Why didn't you see him coming?"
When Qiu Sheng heard this, he was about to answer, but when his body twisted, his brows suddenly tightened.
Feeling the change in Qiu Sheng's expression, several people looked at him in unison, only to see in the distance, an old man and a young man walking slowly towards the center of the ring.
"Yaolin!" Seeing the person coming, Qingchen's face sank and he snorted coldly.
The combination of an old man and a young man walked to the Imperial Capital Square, and immediately attracted a stunned voice.
The young man who watched it, holding a sandalwood incense fan, and his demeanor was indescribably chic and elegant, and this young man attracted the admiration of countless female martial arts cultivators as soon as he appeared. It's just that this voice of admiration was suddenly suppressed after everyone saw the old man beside him.
The old man's face was old, and the folds of age were already all over the old man's face, and what was annoying was that there was a deep concave scar a few inches long on the old man's face, which made people feel a little creepy when they saw it. However, what was surprising was that the clothes on the old man's body were actually the same as those worn by Qingchen, the same dark blue robe, and the cuffs of the robe were the hallmarks of the fifth-level Dan Master.
The sound of surprise from the magpie, after the old man appeared, filled the vast imperial capital square.
"Medicinal forest. ”
"Qingchen. ”
After the old man approached Dantang and the others, two equally old voices resounded at the same time, and when these two voices resounded in the sky of the square, everyone felt that Qingchen and Yaolin's bodies were exuding a compelling cold air, and under the influence of this momentum, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became extremely cold.
Feeling the cool air exuded by the two old men, even the voice of the old man's identity that had just been known later stopped abruptly, and the noisy square fell into a dead silence again.
"Medicine Forest?" As the heads of the four famous families in the empire, these four people knew about the great changes that took place in Dantang twenty years ago, and they also knew the medicine forest that was known as the first day of the empire, but at this moment, they really didn't want to believe that the genius Dan master, who had faintly overshadowed their teacher back then, would actually become like this.
A suspicious gaze swept over Yao Lin's body, and the four family masters all cast inquiring glances at Qingchen. And Qingchen ignored the sight of the four people, his eyes kept staring coldly at the medicine forest, and there was no tendency to transfer half of it.
"Huh. Even the four masters are here, it seems that my medicine forest still has a bit of face. Yao Lin didn't talk to Qingchen as soon as he came up, but greeted the four masters.
Hearing this, the four masters who were still guessing their identities all showed solemn expressions, and then nodded, which was regarded as a return gift, but they did not respond to each other, obviously, on this occasion, none of the four masters wanted to get closer to him.
For the four masters, Yao Lin didn't pay attention to it, but turned his gaze to Qingchen, and said in a mocking tone: "Senior brother, you see that my clothes still fit." ”
When Qingchen heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter, and all the people in the Dantang who were angry with the medicine forest on the side were even more angry, and some of them were vaguely about to scold.
Seeing that everyone on his side was angry, and he wanted to rush up immediately to exert force on the two Yaolin, Qingchen immediately waved his hand, and then said coldly: "You are not qualified to wear this dress for a long time." ”
"Oh?" Hearing this, Yao Lin Fei Dan was not angry, but laughed loudly: "Is it? This is not what you say, and it is not something that the dead old guy can control." ”
Seeing Yaolin insulting the teacher, Qingchen shouted angrily: "Shut up, you ungrateful villain, the teacher has cultivated you for so many years, but you didn't repay the kindness, but also poisoned the teacher and persecuted the teacher, and now you still have the face to wear the clothes that the teacher made for you personally?"
"Don't mention that old fellow to me, I told you whether I can wear this dress or not, and now it's up to you and him. Yao Lin waved his hand, not caring at all.
"Hmph!" Seeing Yaolin's unrepentant look, Qingchen became even more angry, and said, "It's not up to you to decide whether you can wear it or not, you'll know for a while." ”
"Oh, senior brother, are you so confident?" Yao Lin teased.
"You'll know when the time comes. Remember your promises. "I don't want to talk nonsense with Yao Lin anymore, Qingchen snorted coldly, and then kept silent.
Seeing Qingchen like this, a touch of gloom suddenly appeared in Yao Lin's eyes.
