The old man smiled slightly and said: "He went to Ziwu Villa. I am very concerned about Ziwu Villa. What's more, Luo Xiaoyou's reputation in the world is not small. I naturally know it."
"It turns out to be the head of the Liu family!"
Luo Chen suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten Liu Qingyang. When the old man reminded him, a sloppy figure covered with dirt and with a head like a chicken coop suddenly appeared in his mind.
With a smile on his face, Luo Chen nodded to the head of the Liu family: "Senior, don't worry! Everything is fine with Young Master Liu!"
"So good!"
Liu Qian nodded and said slightly apologetically: "I didn't expect that boy to be so bold and dare to disturb that senior! When I finish what I'm doing, I will go to Ziwu Villa to apologize to that senior!"
"Senior, don't worry, my master is very satisfied with Mr. Liu's alchemy!"
Luo Chen smiled in response.
"Then thank you senior for your guidance!"
Liu Qian raised his hands to the sky. After putting down his hands, he glanced between Luo Chen and Nangong Dao. Finally, he smiled at Nangong Dao and said, "It seems that the Nangong family is going to ask Luo Xiaoyou to take action this time?"
Nangong Dao smiled bitterly when he heard this: "If we don't take care of our family, we have no choice but to trouble Mr. Luo!"
"Nephew Nangong is really good at choosing people!"
Liu Qian glanced at Nangong Dao with a complicated expression. Although Luo Chen's current cultivation level was only at the early stage of first-class cultivation, Liu Qian, who paid a lot of attention to Luo Chen, understood Luo Chen's strength. This was the master who pretended to be a pig and eat the tiger. .
Turning his eyes to Luo Chen, Liu Qian smiled again and said: "Little friend Luo! If you run into my family later, please show mercy!"
"What are you talking about, Master Liu!"
Luo Chen looked at the masked woman sitting motionless on the Liu family's side with complicated eyes, and said with a wry smile:
"I just hope that the Liu family won't be too harsh on me!"
"Haha! No way! Keep your hands to each other!"
Liu Qian finally couldn't help laughing and couldn't care less about being modest. He knew the strength of his sword master best. Even if Luo Chen had some strength, he would not be the sword master's opponent.
After laughing a few times, Liu Qian didn't stay at Nangong's house for long. After saying goodbye to a few people, he returned to the stone pillar of Liu's house.
Luo Chen and others also jumped onto the stone bars and sat down cross-legged.
After sitting down, Nangong Dao glanced at Ye Qingqing of the Ye family and the sword master of the Liu family, then turned back to look at Luo Chen beside him, and sighed:
"Young Master Luo, there is no need to force it! Our goal is to get among the top three. Even if we don't get the first place, it doesn't matter if we get the second place. We can just strive for the third place. The third place will also have a place to enter the Demon Abyss."
Nangong Dao now no longer has confidence in Luo Chen. He is from a noble family, so naturally he knows the strength of these children of the noble family best. Although Luo Chen can leapfrog and kill first-class late-stage masters, the sword master and Ye Wuqing can also leapfrog. They are those who kill people, and their cultivation level is still first-rate and late stage.
What's more, the people participating in the Family Battle this time are actually stronger than before. In addition to the sword master and Ye Wuqing, there are actually two first-class late-stage masters.
Thinking of this, Nangong Dao looked at the Ming family under the stone pillar on the right and the Sima family opposite.
"I know!"
Luo Chen smiled when he heard this. He knew what to do, and then he glanced at each stone pillar.
When Luo Chen looked at each aristocratic family, with the arrival of the last group of people, each aristocratic family was also in place.
"call!"
When someone sat down on the last stone pillar, a figure appeared in vain above the square.
"Um?"
Luo Chen, who was looking at various aristocratic families, had his eyes fixed, and he looked up in the air, only to see an old man in gray robe standing in the air with a cane and a stooped back.
Innately strong!
"Junior and others! We have met our ancestor!"
The loud voice resounded throughout the square, and everyone under the stone pillars on both sides of the square stood up and bowed to the gray-robed old man in the air.
Luo Chen was no exception, he also stood up and bowed.
"Get up!"
The voice was old and soft, but extremely penetrating. The old man in gray robe had a warm smile on his wrinkled face and whispered:
"Twenty years have passed, and the battle between the aristocratic families has begun again, and the Demon Abyss has also reappeared. Which family is qualified to enter the Demon Abyss depends on their ability!"
The voice fell, and with a 'whoosh', the old man in gray robe disappeared in vain. When he reappeared, he was already sitting cross-legged on the stone chair under the stone wall.
And people from various aristocratic families also sat down one after another at this time.
Looking away from the gray-robed old man, Luo Chen turned his head to look at Nangong Dao on the left and asked softly:
"Is this also a member of your family?"
"Um!"
Nangong Dao nodded and said with a smile: "Moyuan Island is an important place and the key to the eternal continuation of all aristocratic families, so each aristocratic family will take turns sending experts to guard it, and the experts who guard here are also the ones who preside over the battles of the aristocratic families.
They are the most fair people recognized by all the families."
"I see!"
Luo Chen nodded, then looked back at the stone chair.
There, a middle-aged man in a black robe with a stern face appeared at the edge of the stone chair.
After saluting the old man in gray robe who was sitting cross-legged on the stone chair, the middle-aged man in black robe walked behind the stone chair and stepped on a raised stone behind it.
"Click!"
"Boom!"
A mechanism sound sounded, followed by a violent friction sound.
With the sound of friction, a piece of bluestone ground in the middle of the square slowly rose in vain.
This is a round stone with a diameter of nearly twenty meters. The stone stopped when it reached half a person's height and turned into a ring.
As soon as the arena was formed, the middle-aged men in black robes jumped up and rushed up.
Looking around at the stone pillars, the stern voice of the middle-aged man in black robes rang out: "The battle of aristocratic families has officially begun! I am Wen Yan, the referee of this battle of aristocratic families. No more nonsense. The rules are still the same as before. The sixteen aristocratic families
Sixteen people will participate in the battle, and their opponents will be determined by drawing lots. The losers of each group will be eliminated directly and will not be allowed to compete again."
"Direct elimination?"
Luo Chen was stunned, looked at Nangong Dao, and said doubtfully: "Direct elimination! What if the two strongest people or the two weakest people are drawn into a group with each other? In these two groups, there will definitely be one strong person who loses and one weak person.
Promotion, but this weak person is not as good as that strong person, isn't this very unfair to the strong person?"
"fair?"
Nangong Dao had a cold look in his eyes and sneered: "There is no fairness in this world! Luck is also a part of strength. If you really draw two strong people together, it can only be said that you are unlucky! And if you lose, you will lose.
Fighting, it only shows that you are not only unlucky, but also incompetent! If you want fairness, then knock down your opponent and trample on your feet, then you will get whatever fairness you want!"
"Is this so..."
Looking at Nangong Dao's cold eyes, Luo Chen's pupils shrank. He knew that the world was cruel, but he didn't expect that the aristocratic families would be even more cruel.
However, I like it!
Luo Chen licked his lips unconsciously, and when he looked at the arena again, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
On the ring, referee Wen Yan was already ready to draw lots. After glancing around, he said in a deep voice:
"The leaders of each family came to the stage to draw lots!"
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"
Wen Yan's voice fell, and figures suddenly appeared from under the surrounding stone pillars, rushing towards the arena.
On the Nangong family side, Nangong Dao, who was sitting cross-legged, also ducked away in vain.
