"Yes, as an acquired cultivator, I even broke through the fifth-level and five-element restrictions, and I didn't die, and I was safe and sound. It really makes me and other third-level magical monks marvel and feel ashamed. ([] .)"
"Indeed, the fifth-level five-element restriction is enough to kill a third-level magical monk. Even if this boy can escape, even if it is a fluke, it is enough to prove that his talent and strength are extraordinary. He and the eldest lady are indeed a match made in heaven."
Several other deputy city lords also praised Xia Chen. This praise was not based on Quan Zhenxing's face. They did appreciate Xia Chen very much.
Since Quanzhen Bank adopted Xu Yunxuan as their goddaughter, several deputy city lords have become nannies. Apart from handling city affairs, the only thing they do is coax the young lady and find ways to make her happy, because this is the city lord.
The most important task assigned to you must never be violated.
After all, Xu Yunxuan is not that kind of coquettish and willful young lady. After getting along with her for a few days, the deputy city lords have a good impression of Xu Yunxuan and others.
Quan Zhenxing nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "It seems that Xia Chen is really interested, and it's not in vain for my goddaughter to fall in love with him. Haha, as long as my goddaughter is happy, then I will naturally be happy too."
"Sir City Lord, do you think you should tell the old man about this? I think he will also be pleasantly surprised, and he might change his mind from now on." Another deputy city Lord said cautiously.
"Fart!" Quanzhenxing's face was like the sky in June, changing at any time, and said angrily, "I said I don't recognize him as my biological father, but I just won't recognize him. I won't even save my son-in-law and his grandson-in-law.
I still regard him as a relative."
The deputy city lords were immediately speechless.
In a secret room, Elder Quan, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly sneezed heavily.
"It must be that unscrupulous man who is cursing me." Elder Quan opened his eyes and murmured with a wry smile, "I guess it's because I didn't save him as my son-in-law. Alas, I didn't expect that this short-lived junior would actually be related to me..."
"Although it was short-lived, this junior's performance is impressive. I don't know what method he used to overcome the fifth-level five-element restriction."
"But so what if we make it through. It's not a short-lived ghost, it's worthless... I pity my cheap goddaughter. Forget it, we can't attack them anymore. If they don't recognize me as their father, they won't do it."
Admit it. I can't do anything to you."
Elder Quan smiled bitterly, closed his eyes again, and continued to wander.
The man surnamed Lin was still sitting in the main hall, looking out the window in silence. He only picked up the bitter Wan Lun Sea Cucumber Tea from time to time and took a sip.
The gloomy hall was silent for a long time before a slightly surprised gloomy voice rang out.
"It's surprising that the junior can actually come out alive, but this path is his own choice. When he explodes and dies in the future, he can't blame anyone. The alliance will not absorb a short-lived person who is not even in the acquired realm.
The guy who couldn't get over it came in."
…
On various occasions, everyone was excitedly talking about Xia Chen. As an acquired cultivator, he miraculously emerged from the fifth level of the Five Elements Restriction, which in itself was a very attractive topic.
The tens of thousands of disciples who participated in the election were all eclipsed at this moment, diluted in Xia Chen's halo.
In the black space, all the disciples went out for a walk. There were still three days left. They had to digest the results of the first two rounds and prepare for the final round of selection.
Only Xia Chen and four elders were left in the space.
Xia Chen turned his head, looked at the four of them seriously and said, "Four elders, I have something to ask you, please tell me the truth."
The four of them looked at each other. They all knew exactly what he wanted to ask and couldn't help but sigh.
"Xia Chen, knowing this matter is actually of no benefit to you. As long as you know, it's not the four of us who are harming you. There are some things that would be troublesome if we knew them." Feng Lei sighed.
"I know, but I want to know who designed this situation." Xia Chen insisted, "Just because I can't take revenge now doesn't mean I won't be able to in the future. Elders, please tell me."
What he wanted to ask was, of course, who wanted to harm him.
This issue has long been thought through clearly. Under the control of several elders, it is impossible for such a big loophole to appear in the Five Elements Restriction. Someone must have done it deliberately.
Since the game he designed cannot even be solved by a few elders, it must be a big shot with extremely high cultivation level.
Although he knew that he could not be hostile, Xia Chen still wanted to know who harmed him. This had nothing to do with his strength, but just wanted to find out.
Being manipulated for no reason and almost dying in the restraint, Xia Chen was naturally angry and couldn't calm down.
The four of them looked at each other again and nodded slowly. This matter could not be concealed. It was better to tell Xia Chen openly. With Xia Chen's reason, he would not do anything impulsive.
So the four of them talked about Yang Yunkai's misplaced ban, Zhang Tianyang and others' appearance, and Mr. Zuo's use of power to suppress others and launch the King of Emperors Alliance.
Including the subsequent rescue operation launched by the public and the mobilization of many connections to find the alliance, but in vain. The incident of Xu Yunxuan and others approaching the city lord's mansion was also described in detail.
After Xia Chen listened quietly, his face turned pale.
He thought that the trouble he caused might be serious, but he still underestimated the extent of the public's reaction and did not expect that it would have such a big impact.
When did he lose so much face? There are thousands of people initiating relationships for him and seeking rescue, but he doesn’t even know them.
Especially when he heard that Xu Yunxuan and others found the city lord's mansion and collectively vowed to die to save him, Xia Chen felt that his heart was blocked and he wanted to cry.
When they first set out on the road, he, Xu Yunxuan and others were just partners who liked each other, and could only be said to have a good relationship. But now, the four of them have become brothers and sisters who share life and death.
It is a deep feeling made of blood.
Of course, there were also the four elders in front of him. Although they didn't say anything, Xia Chen's cautious nature naturally guessed that it was the four elders who planned this rescue. Otherwise, based on his background, he would never have caused the disaster.
Such a big impact.
His heart had been extremely cold, but now he felt warm. Even when he was being oppressed by big shots for no reason, there were still so many people running for him and seeking rescue, and he didn't even know one of them.
.
Although this world is dominated by the jungle, there are also many good people. In fact, the vast majority of people have their own moral bottom line, and their hearts are good. No one is born willing to do bad things.
Xia Chen's face was solemn, and he suddenly bowed deeply to the four of them. A drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring of water. Not to mention that the four of them tried their best to plan a rescue operation for him. This affection alone is worth remembering in his heart.
.
"The four elders tried every possible means to rescue me. There is nothing I can do to repay this. I can only remember it in my heart. If I succeed in my cultivation in the future, no matter what happens, it will depend on the instructions of the elders." Xia Chen said solemnly.
He doesn't have the ability to help the third-level elders of the alliance now. He only hopes to be able to help a few people when his cultivation level improves in the future.
The four of them were shocked when they saw him kneeling down. After hearing what he said, they couldn't help but feel moved and relieved. They thought that this guy really has a good heart. If it were other juniors, how could they think of us?
A lot of hard work by four people.
However, the four of them immediately felt a sense of shame. Although they had tried so hard, they could not help Xia Chen at all. They were able to escape from the fifth-level five-element restriction entirely because of Xia Chen himself.
The reason why Xia Chen bowed down was naturally not to thank him for saving his life, but to thank him for this kindness, but that was enough.
"Boy." Yang Quan raised his hand slightly, and Xia Chen stood up involuntarily and said seriously, "We are telling you these unreserved words not because we think you can do it, but because we know that you are rational and will not be so impulsive. Now
Being able to survive is the most important thing, and you can think about other things only after you have truly become stronger, you know? Only when you are alive can you have hope."
The other three people nodded one after another. Yang Quan said this from the bottom of his heart. Only by living can there be hope.
Yes, Xia Chen now has power but no power, background but no background, power but no strength. In the eyes of the big men in the alliance, he is just a humble ant.
His only advantage is to live, to keep getting stronger, and to wait until the day when he is strong enough to get back everything he has lost.
Everyone understands this truth, but it is not easy to do it. It is really too frustrating to have to swallow your anger after being framed, but if you don't do this, what can you do?
Xia Chen naturally understood the meaning of Yang Quan's words. He was not unnatural at all. Wasn't this kind of patience rare in the past?
From Zhuo Bufan to Yue Zifeng, to Han Dongyu, and then to Taoist Ziling of the Haoran Sect, as he continues to advance on the road of cultivation, the opponents he encounters become more and more powerful, and the sense of oppression and crisis becomes stronger and stronger.
But one day, he will kill all those who have hurt him, protect those who are good to him, and pursue power not only for eternity and immortality, but also to enjoy grudges and protect the people he cares about.
where.
"Elder Yang, don't worry. This disciple has his own sense of what he does and will not risk his life just to gain some leisure. In fact, if he had known that Mr. Zuo was going to introduce the example of Wang Zhongdi, this disciple would naturally not have competed with him. The purpose of this disciple
It's very simple, as long as you can qualify." Xia Chen said calmly.
Yang Quan and the other four nodded, with happy faces. What Xia Chen said was exactly what they wanted to express. If Xia Chen knew the truth, if he wanted to live or die, he would go to Mr. Zuo, the Wang family, or the three major sects.
If they try their best, they will be very disappointed.
"By the way, Xia Chen, the third round of selection will begin in three days. At that time, all disciples will have to compete in cultivation..." Feng Lei said thoughtfully.
"Disciple understands." Xia Chen immediately understood and said, "If I encounter the Emperor of the King, and the disciple gives up and admits defeat, I will never compete with him for the first place, so as not to anger Mr. Zuo." (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, novels.
