The diameter of the bluestone path is not short, the three of them are very fast, and it doesn't take much effort to reach the end in front of the main city mansion, and the two huge golden iron doors slowly open in a muffled thunderous rumble.

Xiaoyun raised his eyes and saw a magnificent palace facing the city gate in the distance, with eaves and tiles, wolf teeth high, bright lights, and splendor!

Enter the city gate and look again, the house is much smaller than the inner city, the same stone road leads directly to the main hall, all the way on both sides of the ten women outside but are a heavy palace, although the weather is not as good as the imperial capital, but it is indeed called ten thousand watts, thousands of towers, carved railings and jade.

Xiaoyun couldn't help but nod and sighed: "It's really worth the trip, it's opened my eyes, and the blessings are much bigger than those outside, now I believe that "Lan Yan City" is not Longtan Tiger's Den, but a fairyland on earth, and people who came to "Lan Yan City" in the past are not unable to go back, but they are unwilling to go back." ”

The woman in white who walked in front said: "The main hall is already in front of you, please be quiet." ”

Xiaoyun nodded and didn't speak again, his expression slightly excited and uneasy.

In the blink of an eye, the effort has approached the main hall, only to see the brilliant lights in the main hall shining outward, the stone steps are hundreds of steps high, and people can not see the scene in the main hall under the steps.

The woman in white who walked forward turned around and said solemnly, "Please wait." ”

With that, she turned around and walked up the stairs, and soon reached the top of the stairs and disappeared.

After a while, the woman in white appeared at the top of the high stone steps and said in a loud voice: "The city lord has sent a message, and someone has come to the palace to meet you." ”

I only heard the man in white behind him instruct: "Please go up!"

Xiaoyun stepped forward. After walking the 100-step stone steps, the light in front of you is dazzling, and you can see the composition in the main hall at this moment, only to see ten white-clothed people with swords standing on both sides of the hall outside the hall, all of them touching the hilt of the sword, standing straight and solemn.

There are more than a dozen stone steps in the innermost part of the hall, there are ten white-clothed people with swords on both sides of the steps, there are more than ten or twenty white-clothed people wearing silver crowns arranged on both sides of the steps like goose wings, all white-robed jade belts, holding tooth wat in their hands, the top of a dragon giant chair, on the chair sits a white-clothed man with a long figure and a golden crown, the white robe is embroidered with a five-clawed dragon, and a jade belt is also tied around the waist, on both sides of the giant chair are two giant spirit-like white-clothed people, each holding a shining bronze man, behind the giant chair are four white-clothed women holding a huge snow-white goose feather fan.

There were no less than forty or fifty people in the hall, but all of them were quiet and silent, forty or fifty people, together with the golden-crowned and white-clothed people on the dragon chair, all wearing silver masks on their faces, leaving only two eyes outside, all of them had sharp eyes and full eyes, and they were clearly first-class masters of both internal and external cultivation.

Especially the golden-crowned white-clothed man on the throne, a pair of eyes are more like two cold lightning, almost people dare not look up.

Xiaoyun took a deep breath, calmly and calmly, walked in freely and abnormally, and approached the bottom of the jade steps, bowed slightly, and said loudly: "Junior..."

As soon as Xiao Yungang exited the word "junior", a vigorous voice suddenly came from the jade steps, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Anyone who sees the city lord of my "Lan Yan City" must bow three times and bow nine times, and kneel down quickly!"

Xiaoyun's expression remained unchanged, he raised his eyes to look at it, and said with an indifferent smile: "Who just spoke?"

I only heard a silver-crowned white-clothed man on the right: "Old man." ”

Xiaoyun said: "What is your position in the "Lan Yan City"?"

The silver-crowned man in white said: "The old man is one of the "four protectors" of the city lord. ”

Xiaoyun said "hmm", the one who shook back the two elders of the Huashan Sect and the Xuanzhen Sect with an internal force in the city today should be the protector of this Lanzhen City, and his skills are very profound. Said: "It turned out to be a great protector, disrespectful, do you know that I am a guest of honor who has come to participate in the "Martial Arts Conference"?"

The silver-crowned man in white sneered: "No matter who you are, whoever sees me as the city lord of Lan Yan City has to bow down. ”

Xiaoyun said: "I'm sorry, I only kneel to the Heaven and Earth Monarch, and ...... else."

The silver-crowned man in white shouted violently: "Bold, the old man has to let you kneel today." ”

In the loud shouts of the silver-crowned white-clothed man, the eight white-clothed men under the stairs unsheathed their long swords and surrounded Xiaoyun in a half-arc shape, motionless, Xiaoyun smiled slightly: "Great Protector, although I am not very old, I have passed through a lot of winds and waves, Your Excellency, don't scare me with this kind of battle." ”

The silver-crowned man in white tilted his head and glared angrily: "What a bold offspring, the old man wants to see how hard you are and stab him in both legs." ”

As soon as his words fell, the eight white-clothed men shook their wrists and were about to draw their swords, and the cold sword body stabbed wildly at Xiaoyun's knee with fierce true qi.

I saw that Xiaoyun's body suddenly spun around, and the sword finger of his right hand instantly condensed into a stream of air, and the illusion was invisible, but it was like a substance, and it greeted it.

Bell bell ...

There was a sudden sound like a shower, the eight long swords broke immediately, Sen Han's sword body fell to the ground, and the eight white-clothed people were suddenly startled, and their bodies retreated!

Xiaoyun's figure stood out, as if he hadn't moved at all, but the sword finger of his right hand was shining with stars, like an invisible sword hanging on his fingertips.

"No sword is better than the realm of swords, the first paragraph: sword qi is popular!"

This move shocked the whole hall, and the great protector hurriedly retreated a few steps, and his face changed continuously. In an instant, there was a dead silence in the hall for a moment, but after a moment, someone moved. It was the other three Dharma Protectors with silver masks who looked like djinn-likes.

The three of them just moved, and they wanted to launch an offensive against Xiaoyun. At this moment, the golden-crowned white-clothed man on the dragon chair raised his hand, and his hand was as white as jade, like a woman's hands.

"Because of your audacity, I make an exception to exempt you from kneeling. ”

His voice was low, naturally exuding a kind of awe-inspiring majesty, as if combined with an invisible force, and every word was like a golden hammer, which could shake people's hearts.

Xiaoyun bowed slightly, and said quietly: "Thank you, City Lord." ”

The majestic and cold gaze of the city lord of Lan Yan slowly swept over Xiaoyun's face, and said, "You are here to participate in the world's No. 1 Martial Arts Conference?"

Xiaoyun said: "Yes, city lord. ”

"What kind of sect are you?"

"I don't belong to any sect disciples. ”

The city lord of Lan Yan was slightly surprised, and said: "Look at the popularity of the sword qi you made just now, it is quite similar to the style of "looking at the moon and wearing flowers" in the Kunlun swordsmanship, and... Extremely provocative, without heat!"

Xiaoyun Dao: Thanks to the praise of the city lord, I am not a Kunlun disciple. “

Lan Yan City Lord said: "As far as I can see, even the Great Elder of the Inner Gate of the Kunlun Sect, who is highly respected, is not as good as you in this move. ”

Xiaoyun said: "The city lord has a reputation, I am an idle wanderer, how dare I compare with the martial arts veterans!"

The city lord said: "You are very humble and very good at talking. With your excellent qualifications and talents, and your comprehension, you can practice the realm of winning without a sword to this level with such an age, which is really extraordinary. I don't ask you where you're from, and I don't know what your last name is?"

Xiaoyun said: "There is a city lord of Lao who asked, the younger generation's surname is Xiao, and the single name is a cloud word!"

The city lord was silent for a moment, and then said, "In recent years, the martial arts masters Nangong, Murong and the six sons of martial arts, I know very well..."

Xiaoyun said: "If you don't learn and advance, you are not among the famous masters!"

The city lord of Lan Yan let out a "hmm" and asked directly, "How can you have this city talisman?"

"It was ten years ago, and a martial arts senior handed it over, and that senior called himself: Green Shirt Swordsman!" Xiao Yun paused slightly, and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Back then, there were many doubts about the destruction of the Chu family, and he still couldn't figure it out, and besides, he must not let anyone know about his father before. Master Ling Xiaozi has been dead and withdrawn from the rivers and lakes for many years, and Xiaoyun doesn't want the world to disturb his old man again.

"Swordsman in green shirts!" Lan Yancheng muttered, and in an instant, the cold light in his eyes exploded, but he soon disappeared without a trace.

I only heard him sigh and said slowly: "Ten years ago, it was also a long time. Now you have come to Lan Yan City to see me with this letter talisman, what is the so-called matter?"

Xiaoyun immediately said: "The younger generation has the courage to come to see the city lord with a letter talisman, there are two things, one is to want to see this blue-shirted swordsman, and the other is to let the city lord cancel the world's first martial arts conference!"

The city lord was slightly stunned and said, "You... You want to see the Swordsman in the Green Shirt?"

Xiaoyun nodded and said, "It's really not barbaric, the juniors don't know each other with the green-shirted swordsman." Ten years ago, I broke off a clue on the way to deal with a private matter, and it happened that a senior entrusted me with the letter talisman and instructed me to take the letter talisman to Lan Yan City to find the green shirt swordsman after my strength reached the requirements, and he would solve my doubts at that time. ”

Lan Yancheng was silent for a moment, then raised his head slightly and said, "Hearing you say that, I understand the general meaning. But after all, it's your private matter, and it's inconvenient for me to ask in detail. You want me to cancel the martial arts conference, why is that?"

Xiaoyun said: "The juniors are for the martial arts colleagues gathered in the city, and also for this Lanyun City. ”

The city lord said, "I don't understand what you mean. ”

Xiaoyun said: "Although the juniors don't know the true intention of the city lord to hold the world's first martial arts conference, there is one thing, the intention of this martial arts conference is by no means as simple as the announcement on the martial arts sticker. Nowadays, the various gangs and forces that come to participate in the martial arts conference are mixed with dragons and snakes, and they have ulterior motives. Today's friction between the Xuanzhen faction and the Huashan faction is the best proof that if the swords of all parties dance at the conference, igniting the fire of grievances and hatred, the entire Lanzhen City will inevitably become a Shura slaughterhouse and be destroyed in one fell swoop. ”

The city lord said, "So, you are purely well-intentioned?"

Xiaoyun said: "So to speak. ”

The city lord said, "I'm afraid you misunderstood my intention to hold the martial arts conference." Now I can't help but tell you, I held this martial arts conference just to find a person, this person has a blood feud with me, he ruined my home, took away my beloved wife, I looked for him for many years, but I didn't find him, I thought that holding this "martial arts conference" could lure him here, who knew that I wasted my efforts, he didn't come!"

Xiaoyun was stunned and said, "I see, the younger generation still thinks..."

The lord of Lan Yan City interrupted and said: "You thought I was ambitious and wanted to conquer all the martial arts talents in the world! This seat knows that there are many legends about Lan Yan City in the outside world, and many people are curious to come to the Hanging Mountain to find this most beautiful city in the world, and they have never returned, in fact, after they came here, they voluntarily stayed, and I did not force them. I'll tell you the truth, can you trust me?"

Xiaoyun said: "The city lord is honest with each other, how dare the juniors not believe it, it's just..."

The city lord said indifferently: "Don't worry, with your chivalrous mind, and it also proves the intention of this seat, I am willing to immediately announce the cancellation of the martial arts conference." ”

Xiaoyun didn't expect this city lord to be so refreshing, so he hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Thank you city lord." That junior wants to see the green-shirted swordsman!"

The city lord raised his hand slightly, and said, "It's easy to cancel the martial arts conference, but if you want to see the blue-shirted swordsman, I have to discuss it with you." ”

Xiaoyun was stunned and puzzled: "What is the city master discussing with the juniors?"

Lan Yan City Lord said: "The blue-shirted swordsman was originally one of the four protectors of the Dharma in front of me, but as early as three years ago, he had already returned to his hometown and returned to the mountains and forests. ”

Xiaoyun frowned and said, "So this senior is no longer in Lan Yan City?"

"Yes!"

"Does the lord know where he has returned?"

The city lord nodded slightly, and said, "Of course I know that all the people in this city, no matter where he goes in the future, he will have his address to contact, so that it is easy to find them." ”

Xiaoyun said: "Then can the city lord tell me the address of the green-shirted swordsman?"

The lord of Lan Yan City said: "The blue-shirted swordsman has made a great contribution to the city, and in order to take care of his peaceful life after his retreat, the address of his retreat has always been classified as a secret of the city. I want to negotiate a condition with you!"

Xiaoyun was slightly stunned and asked, "What conditions?"

The lord of Lan Yan City said: "You have his letter talisman, and this seat should trust you as much as he does, but this seat does not necessarily have the obligation to tell you his address." ”

Xiao Yun's face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "Does the city lord want me to take some contributions in exchange for the address of the blue-shirted swordsman?"

The city lord smiled: "Not bad!"

Xiaoyun said: "I don't know what the city wants me to do?"

Lan Yan City Lord said: "It's very simple, you help me find someone I can't find." ”

Xiaoyun said: "The enemy of the city lord?"

"Exactly!"

Xiaoyun said helplessly: "There are many masters in Lan Yan City, and they can't find the enemy of the city lord. In the vast sea of people, how can the younger generation be alone?"

The Lord of Lan Yan City said: "If you don't want to, this seat will not be reluctant. It's just that I can't keep the address of the green-shirted swordsman a secret. ”

Xiaoyun hurriedly said: "City Lord, this private matter of the junior is very important..."

The Lord of Lan Yan City said: "I know, otherwise you wouldn't have come all the way to Lan Yan City to find him." ”

"City Lord, if this is not the case, please tell the junior the address of the blue-shirted swordsman first, and then help Guicheng find someone after I have met him, how about it?"

The city lord sighed and said, "Young man, you are in a hurry. But do you know how many years I have grieved, he ruined my home, took away my beloved wife, I couldn't find him for a day, I couldn't sleep, and the pain was beyond the imagination of an outsider. ”

Xiaoyun was silent for a moment before he said slowly, "What if the city lord's enemy is no longer alive?"

Lan Yan City Lord said: "As long as you can confirm that he is dead, it is equivalent to you finding him!"

"What if the younger generation is looking for an enemy for the city lord, and the green shirt swordsman has an unfortunate story? Xiaoyun said slowly. Since he came out of the mountain, he has encountered too many variables, and the entire martial arts seems to be stable on the surface, but in fact, the undercurrent is turbulent, and he has to prevent the city lord from changing.

The Lord of Lan Cheng said: "At this point, this seat can assure you of his safety, with the prestige of my Lan Cheng in the martial arts, his status is no less than that of the six major factions, and he will never be treacherous." ”

Xiaoyun said: "This matter of the younger generation is extremely important, and I have to take precautions..."

The Lord of Lan Yan City interrupted and said, "Young man, there is one thing that you may not have figured out yet, it is you who have come to beg me, not me. I can seek revenge on my own, and you're bound to have to get information about the green-shirted swordsman from this city. ”

Xiaoyun took a deep breath and said coldly, "What if the junior has to tell the city lord the whereabouts of the Qingyi swordsman's address today?"

"Presumptuous!"

There was a thunderous roar, and the samurai on the steps held the hilt of his sword, and his eyes were cold and angry. The four protectors took a step forward, and in an instant, the aura that shrouded the hall caused the temperature in the air to drop quite a bit.

The city lord waved his hand and said, "You all stand down!"

When everyone heard this, they slowly reined in and respectfully retreated.

The Lan Yan City Lord looked at Xiao Yun and said, "Young man, I admire your courage. However, with your comprehension of the realm of no sword is better than a sword, you have this qualification. You are a master in kendo, and this seat also teaches you how to do swordsmanship, and you break my trick first!"

Xiaoyun was slightly startled, and as soon as the words fell, the Lan Yan City Lord began to move. I saw that his right hand changed into a claw, and he sucked it suddenly, and the blade on the waist of a warrior under the steps trembled slightly, and it flew out in an instant, and the technique of the Lord of Lan Yan City changed, and the blade that flew out of the air was controlled by a force to change its trajectory, and stabbed towards Xiaoyun.

"With Qi Imperial Sword!"

Xiaoyun's eyes narrowed slightly, all those who have reached a certain level of internal cultivation can use their true qi to control weapons, but the duel is not as easy as the Lan Yan City Lord, who can draw a sword blade fifty steps away.

There seemed nothing unusual about this move, but Xiaoyun felt that the space around him was shrouded in this move. The sword volleyed into the air, and when it was less than ten steps away from Xiaoyun, in a blind eye, the blade of the sword became blurred and illusory and formed a point of light, like the tip of a needle.

Xiaoyun's heart shook wildly, and before he could see how the sword body disappeared, the starlight was already approaching his chest. Like a reflex, Xiaoyun's mind sank into the sword fingers, and he wanted to explode the sword momentum, but it was too late, and the starlight instantly sank into Xiaoyun's chest and disappeared.
