The City Lord's Mansion was so quiet today that you could almost hear a pin drop.
Xu Lan walked in the aisle, squinting her eyes, recalling the number of times she had been here.
Counting today, it should be the fourteenth time.
He shook his head, wondering whether he had these things or not.
Xu Lan followed the housekeeper and found Wang Chao, the lord of Yanlian City who was practicing writing in the living room.
"Lord City Lord, the Xu family leader is here."
The tip of the pen paused slightly, Wang Chao raised his head and glanced at Xu Lan, then lowered his head and continued writing: "Well, you can go out."
The butler excused himself and closed the door.
"Tsk, you didn't prepare any tea when I came. Your hospitality is not very thorough."
Xu Lan chuckled and immediately sat on the elegant wooden chair next to him.
"If it were in the past, I would definitely treat you with the best tea."
Wang Chao held the table with his hand, and the pen tip moved according to his movements: "But now, I need an explanation."
"explain?"
Xu Lan thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Your son went to challenge someone for a fight first, but ended up being inferior to others and was beaten all over...Does this still need to be explained?"
"If it were your daughter who was injured like this, would you not ask for an 'explanation' from the other party?"
Wang Chao put down the pen in his hand, straightened up, and looked at him coldly with a pair of eyes.
"He is my son after all. Beating my son like that... No matter what, I can't swallow this breath!"
At the end of Wang Chao's words, his voice was as loud as thunder, which made the whole living room tremble slightly.
"If it were my daughter, I would have the same reaction as you."
Xu Lan crossed his hands and put them on his lap, and said calmly: "What about you? Since you want an 'explanation', why don't you go to him in person and ask for an 'explanation'?"
Wang Chao: "..."
After a moment of silence, he frowned and said: "A person in the Tao Touching Realm can fly to the Heavenly Realm with one punch. With such strength...his origins must have a lot of history!"
"In addition, your sudden change of mind is probably because it has something to do with him."
"But I really don't understand. You, Xu Yangcheng, can be said to be the closest to the Sanhuo Yan Sect among the cities around us."
"No matter how strong his background is, can he still be stronger than the Three Fire Yan Sect?"
"Unless..." Wang Chao's eyes flashed: "He is from the Holy Fire Hall!"
"No."
Unexpectedly, Xu Lan still shook his head and looked out the window, which was the northern sky: "You can think bigger."
Wang Chao frowned, suddenly noticed his gaze, and his expression suddenly changed.
"He is...a person from the Heart Realm?!"
Born in the Heart Realm, and its background is bigger than the Holy Fire Hall...
For a moment, Wang Chao broke out in cold sweat.
Then there are only a few "inherited families" left!
His tone trembled slightly: "It's...which aristocratic family is it?"
"Mo Family."
Xu Lan looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile, as if she was very satisfied with Wang Chao's current reaction.
It's just that he seemed to have forgotten the moment he saw Ye Qingchen take out the Mo family's token, and his heart was churning like a terrifying wave.
"Mo Family?!"
Wang Chao's eyes widened even more.
"That's the third-ranked Mohist family among the eight great inheritance families!"
"He is actually from the Mo family?!"
"I don't know yet." Xu Lan shook his head, "But he has the Mohist token on his body. This alone is enough."
"Mo Family Token..."
Wang Chao muttered in a low voice, somewhat lost, and then let out a long sigh.
Even if he overestimates his own abilities, he would never dare to trouble anyone who owns the Mohist token!
"wrong!"
He suddenly frowned: "He is from the Mo family, but what does this have to do with our 'plan'?!"
Hearing this, Xu Lan rubbed his eyebrows as if he had a headache, and sighed: "Our 'plan' requires the secret help of the Sanhuo Yan Sect to be successful."
"But... he formed a rift with the people of Sanhuoyan Sect."
"Plus...I made a mistake."
Xu Lan sighed: "I once introduced the third young master of the Sanhuo Yan Sect to Lan'er, and he seems to have some unclear relationship with Lan'er..."
After summarizing the reasons briefly, Xu Lan raised her eyes and looked at him: "Now, do you understand why I put the 'plan' on hold for now?"
Wang Chao: "..."
He reacted suddenly: "So, the Third Young Master actually died in your hands?!"
This discovery made his pupils shrink.
Xu Lan looked calm: "If you were me, after seeing that Mohist token, I believe you would make the same choice."
"...If you tell me this, aren't you afraid that I will tell the people of Sanhuoyan Sect later?"
Wang Chao narrowed his eyes and said.
"If you want the Three Fire Flame Sect to be destroyed, you can give it a try."
Xu Lan crossed his arms and said with a half-smile: "To be honest, I'm quite looking forward to the Sanhuo Yan Sect, a behemoth weighing on us, 'disappearing' out of thin air."
"In this way, with the momentum of the Mo family, we may be able to annex surrounding cities more smoothly and establish our own country!"
Become a country on your own!
That's right, Xu Lan's ambition is to become the leader of a country!
Even if he shares the crown with Wang Chao, he doesn't mind.
And this is also Wang Chao's great wish.
"Unfortunately, if we do this, it is very likely that our two families will be involved in the center of the whirlpool."
Wang Chao walked to Xu Lan and sat down, reaching out and rubbing his eyebrows: "No wonder you dare to tell this matter."
"Now, just wait and see what happens."
Xu Lan said calmly: "No matter how you say it, he is the one who has the Mohist token after all. We cannot be impulsive."
"indeed……"
Wang Chao sighed, suddenly remembered something, and asked aloud: "Speaking of which, what results do you think he can achieve in the martial arts competition?"
"He can beat my son like that with his Tao Touching Realm cultivation, so he must be very strong."
"But there are so many heroes and heroes gathered in the martial arts competition. Even though he is from the Realm of the Heart, he still has the foundation of cultivation."
Wang Chao asked: "Can he achieve the top ten results?"
"I don't care whether he can get the top ten results, let's first ask him how his current results are."
After he finished speaking, Xu Lan took out a transmission note.
The transmission note is suspended in the air, emitting a faint light.
"Master, what do you want to give me?"
The voice of the Xu family's elder came from inside.
"How have Mr. Ye's grades been these past few days?"
Xu Lan asked.
"..."
After dozens of seconds of silence, the voice of the eldest elder of the Xu family sounded again.
"He is now... undefeated!"
Undefeated?
Xu Lan and Wang Chao looked at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes.
"His first battle was with Duan Ti of the Tianyan Sect. His cultivation level is at the ninth level of the Ascending Heaven Realm."
"Duan Ti tried his best, but he was still defeated by Mr. Ye!"
"In the future, due to the arrangement of Wanyan Immortal Sect, he has never encountered an opponent at the tenth level of the Heavenly Realm in the competition so far, but every time he encounters an opponent, he can win without exception!
"
"..."
Xu Lan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Wang Chao next to him even said faintly: "You are at the Touching Dao Realm, but you can suppress opponents at the ninth level of the Ascending Heaven Realm..."
"This guy... is really scary!"
"As for Mr. Ye's subsequent competition, you should set a time to continue reporting to me." Xu Lan ordered.
"yes!"
————————
On the other side, the fighting stage.
Putting away the transmission talisman, the eldest elder of the Xu family looked up at the Flame Lotus Platform in the sky.
boom!
Ye Qingchen's opponent flew out upside down and lay on his back on the Flame Lotus Platform, unable to get up for a long time.
"On the 15th Yanlian Terrace, Tan Gu, a casual cultivator, fell to the ground for more than ten breaths. Ye Qingchen wins! Score one point!"
The voice of the old man in red robe sounded.
At the same time, changes also occurred on the fire screen.
No. 888: Loose cultivator Ye Qingchen. Points: 455 points.
Up to now, Ye Qingchen has experienced a total of 455 games.
Undefeated for a whole game!
But maybe he was lucky.
In these four hundred and fifty-five games, he has never encountered an opponent at the tenth level of the Ascension Realm.
This made those who had always wanted to spy on the limits of Ye Qingchen's strength unable to help but complain about whether Wanyan Immortal Sect was operating secretly.
In short, Ye Qingchen, who was originally regarded as the biggest joke in this martial arts meeting, completely transformed and became the second hottest topic in this martial arts meeting.
As for the number one hot topic...it is naturally Chu Huamei who is also undefeated.
But he is different from Ye Qingchen.
In every battle Chu Huamei fought, he defeated his opponent with a clean and neat manner, and there were even a few cases where he was crushed.
No matter whether he meets his own senior brothers or opponents from the other two sects, he will not hold anything back!
Therefore, he was labeled as "overbearing" and "simply".
And Ye Qingchen... showed himself to be a dark horse, defeating 455 opponents!
This makes every battle he fights seem to have a somewhat passionate nature.
"Four hundred and fifty-five points... I'll get to 500 points soon!"
Xu Yiqing said with a smile: "I wonder if your luck can continue to be good today and you can continue to avoid meeting those guys who have reached the tenth level of the Heaven Realm."
"So what, sooner or later we will meet."
Ye Qingchen chuckled and said: "Even, I will meet that Chu Huamei in the finals!"
"Very confident, I like it!"
Xu Yiqing smiled sweetly.
The points competition at this stage is called "same group melee".
This means that every immortal in the same group will encounter all opponents except the first opponent.
Therefore, in the remaining ten days, if you are not lucky, you may have to experience more than five games in a day!
This is nothing to Ye Qingchen.
But for some immortals with poor foundation, they can complain endlessly.
However, Wanyan Immortal Sect will not extend the schedule because of them.
The time soon came to afternoon.
When Ye Qingchen was closing his eyes to rest, he suddenly heard the old man in red robe shouting:
"No. 14 Yanlian Terrace, Wanyan Immortal Sect Bai Zhengxi versus San Xiu Ye Qingchen!"
"Both parties please come on stage!"
The old man in red robe finished speaking.
Ye Qingchen opened his eyes.
At this moment, he felt a cold gaze falling on him.
