While the geniuses of all races continued to gather in the square, on the wall of the city lord's palace, a figure stood with hands behind his hands, looking at the square from a distance.
A breeze blew through his hair, revealing a handsome and slightly feminine face. He was wearing a purple robe and looked proud.
This person is none other than Dugu Qianxing.
"Young City Master, they have arrived."
Behind him, an old man in gray robe held his hand.
"Father, it's really unnecessary. Why do you need to use this strategy to detect their background?"
Dugu Qianxing stretched his arms lazily and glanced at the gray-robed old man with a pair of brown eyes.
"Young City Master, the preliminary examinations for the three major sects are about to take place. We in Yan City only have one promotion spot, so we must not allow any mistakes. The City Master is doing this to detect the background of these geniuses and to clear the way for you to get the promotion spot."
The old man in gray robe said respectfully.
"He's worrying too much."
Dugu Qianxing's expression was calm, as if he didn't pay attention to those people at all.
Now he has entered the spiritual realm, and he has also cultivated the spirit of a monster named the Northern Golden Eagle that is ranked high on the Ten Thousand Beasts List.
With his strength, he can fight even if he encounters a strong person in the middle stage of the Soul Realm.
How can those people compare with him?
Moreover, the City Lord's Mansion has invested almost all its best resources in him over the years, which is not comparable to other forces in Yancheng.
Therefore, Dugu Qianxing is determined to win the only promotion spot in this assessment!
"Young City Lord, according to the information that our City Lord's Mansion secretly inquired about, Ye Han of the Ye family is a potential threat to you. It is said that Liu Shi, who was in the late stage of the Liu family's Linghai realm, was killed by him, and Liu Zhentian's death was also related to him."
The gray-robed elder said in a low voice.
"oh?"
Dugu Qianxing frowned and was slightly shocked. Liu Zhentian was a powerful person in the late stage of the spiritual soul realm. His death was related to Ye Han?
"I've wanted to meet him for a long time. Let's let them enter the city first. I want to see if he is qualified to be my opponent."
After saying that, Dugu Qianxing waved his sleeves and turned around and left the city wall.
…
Not long after, invited by the city lord's palace, the geniuses from all forces were invited to a luxuriously decorated hall to enjoy lunch first.
The huge palace has a floor made of cold jade filled with spiritual energy. There are carved beams and painted pillars everywhere, and the decoration is grand, which shows the rich heritage of the city lord's palace.
The dozens of invited geniuses soon took their seats around a stone table.
On the stone table, there are all kinds of spiritual wines, spiritual fruits, and delicacies, all emitting bursts of special fragrance.
"Wow, these are the ultimate spiritual foods."
Ye Qing lowered his head and glanced at the spiritual rice in the bowl in front of him, which was emitting a faint emerald light. He was so greedy that he couldn't control it.
These spiritual rice are rich in spiritual power. Unlike ordinary food, eating them is also of great benefit to cultivation.
"As expected of the City Lord's Mansion, our Ye family is probably far behind them."
Ye Long couldn't help but marveled, obviously shocked by the generosity of the city lord's mansion.
Ye Han sat between the two of them. Opposite them happened to be Wu Kui, whom they had met before. At this moment, Wu Kui was staring at Ye Han with a gloomy expression.
Not far to the left of Wu Kui, there is a girl wearing white clothes.
This girl has waterfall-like black hair and glass-like eyes. Her skin is as good as snow and she is extremely beautiful.
Many people present were attracted to her, but Ye Han didn't have the slightest fondness for her.
Because, this girl is none other than Su Biyue, the most beautiful daughter of the Su family, one of the three major families!
Su Biyue had a cold temperament, and when she looked at Ye Han, she secretly felt a murderous intention.
The Wu family, the Su family and the Ye family are now mortal enemies.
Of course, in addition to Wu Kui and Su Biyue, there are also many other powerful geniuses gathered in this hall, such as Mo Yunluo from Baihu Village, Zhu Jinqing from Crazy Blade Martial Arts Hall, etc.
.
In Ye Han's eyes, people like Lu Qingshan are not considered geniuses. At most, he is just relying on the Lu family's face to enjoy themselves.
"Sorry everyone, I'm late."
At this time, a hearty laughter came from behind the golden curtain, and then Dugu Qianxing was seen slowly walking out from behind.
Every time he took a step, a shallow mark was left on the hard floor, and the fluctuations of spiritual power emanating from Dugu Qianxing made everyone present take a breath!
"Early stage of spiritual realm?"
Ye Han frowned and said in surprise.
At this moment, everyone felt the invisible oppression, and the space was a little turbulent.
"Haha, Young City Master, you are too polite."
Wu Kui quickly raised his fist and said
"Yeah, you're welcome, you're welcome."
The other warriors all agreed that this was their first time seeing Dugu Qianxing, but at this moment they were extremely shocked.
Unexpectedly, the Young City Lord of Yancheng was so powerful and profound!
Su Biyue also raised her eyebrows, secretly considering Dugu Qianxing as a potential opponent. Her trip was also to prepare for the first test.
Dugu Qianxing sat at the front seat, then glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice,
"Everyone, there is still an hour before the Tianyang Spirit Lotus blooms, so please gather here first and enjoy a delicious meal."
"Thank you, Young City Master, for your hospitality."
The other warriors nodded.
But at this moment, Dugu Qianxing's eyes suddenly fell on Ye Han and said with a smile,
"Your Excellency must be Ye Han, right? Although I rarely leave the City Lord's Mansion, your name is well known to me."
That smile contains a sinister atmosphere!
Ye Han was secretly aware of this hostility, but he smiled calmly at the moment,
"Yeah?"
"Since I've heard about your name for a long time, I naturally want to offer you a toast and pour you some wine today."
Dugu Qianxing winked at a servant behind him, who took out a wine flask from behind and poured it into a cup.
"please"
Dugu Qianxing waved his sleeves, and the glass of strong wine exuding the aroma of wine was carried by spiritual power and flew towards Ye Han.
However, the moment Ye Han took the wine glass, his expression darkened.
As an alchemist, his sense of smell is different from ordinary people, and there is a strong poisonous gas mixed in this wine glass.
"So vicious!"
Ye Han narrowed his eyes and looked cold. He didn't know when he offended Dugu Qianxing and actually wanted to give him poisonous wine.
Isn't this a clear attempt to trick him?
If he drinks it, he will definitely die. If he doesn't drink it or exposes it in public, it means not giving face to Dugu Qianxing, the young city lord.
Right now, he was in a dilemma.
Dugu Qianxing had a strange smile on his face and his eyes were playful.
The other warriors present obviously noticed that the wine in the wine glass was poisonous. They had different expressions at the moment and did not dare to say anything more.
Only Wu Kui had a sinister smile on his lips and was secretly happy in his heart.
The entourage on the side saw that Ye Han was still refusing to drink, and his face darkened, and he snorted coldly,
"Haha, your Excellency, you are too disrespectful to our young city master, aren't you?"
After listening, Ye Han showed a calm smile, raised his glass,
"Since it is the wine offered by the Young City Master, of course I will drink it all in one gulp."
