r General Long's expression changed dramatically. This young man wants to cut off his legs? Do you really dare to do this? You know, he is a general of the empire and a descendant of the royal family. Aren't you afraid of the Long family's revenge? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to leave the empire?
City? But he didn't dare to bet! Because he couldn't bear the price of losing the bet. His legs softened and he fell back again. Seeing this, Xu Chen shook his head boredly. This so-called General Long
, has no backbone at all. He sheathed his sword, looked at Cao Man, and said: "Senior Brother Cao, let's enter the city."
With that said, the two of them strode into the imperial city under the gaze of countless awe-struck people. After Xu Chen walked away, the crowd began to whisper and talk among themselves. "Hey~ General Long, it's not good for you to offend anyone, why do you offend so many people?"
Got him?"
The middle-aged man in Chinese clothes came to General Long, sighed and said. General Long suddenly raised his head, stared at the middle-aged man in Chinese clothes, and asked through gritted teeth: "Do you know that boy? Who is he? Tell me!"
The middle-aged man in fine clothes shook his head and said, "It's better that you don't know, because even if you know his identity, you can't afford to offend him."
"tell me!"
General Long's eyes were scarlet. The middle-aged man in rich clothes said: "Don't worry, I'm telling you, his name is Xu Chen, the new true successor of Qingling Sect, and the young man beside him is Cao Man of Qingling Sect. Cao Man
It's not scary. What's scary is Xu Chen. He is the peerless genius of Qingling Sect. If you offend him, you will offend the entire Qingling Sect. Therefore, if you want to seek revenge from him, you need to think twice. After all, Qingling Sect is powerful, not us.
It’s okay to offend.”
After saying that, he looked at General Long, whose face was gloomy and uncertain, with a faint smile on his lips... "Xu Chen, we have offended the Long family. From now on, we must be careful to guard against the Long family's revenge.
.”
Walking on the streets of the Imperial City, Cao Man reminded Xu Chen in a low voice. Xu Chen raised his eyebrows, "How dare the Long family take action against us in full view of the public?"
Cao Man looked serious, "You don't know something. The imperial court of the Taishang Kingdom is composed of eight major families. The imperial court is the apparent master of the Taishang Kingdom and controls countless common people. The Long family is the head of the eight major families, and also
Today's Taishang Kingdom royal family, so the power mobilized by the Long family, even the five major sects do not dare to underestimate. Moreover, the Long family, regardless of their status as Taishang Kingdom royal family, is also a top ninth-grade family, infinitely close to the eighth-grade.
power."
After listening to Cao Man's story, Xu Chen's face gradually became serious. But then he slowly relaxed his brows and said: "After all, the Qingling Sect is behind us. No matter how strong the Long family is, they will not dare to compete with us.
We will break up with each other, let alone attack us in public for a warrior at the fifth level of the True Qi Realm, so there is no need to worry."
"It's easy to hide from an open arrow, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow."
Cao Man saw that Xu Chen didn't take it seriously and reminded him, "When the soldiers come, we will block the water and cover it with the earth."
Xu Chen said. He then touched his belly and said, "I have been running all the way and can't eat or sleep well. I finally entered the city. Let's find a place to eat first."
Cao Man said: "Follow me, I know there is a restaurant with very good food, you must like it very much."
After a cup of tea. Dongcheng. Xiankelai Restaurant. "You two gentlemen, I'm really sorry, the box is full."
The waiter said in embarrassment, "What, the private rooms are all full?"
Cao Man was a little unhappy. The waiter said cautiously: "Sir, the box is really full. Why don't you wait?"
Xu Chen said: "Forget it, we can eat in the lobby on the first floor."
As he said that, he pulled Cao Man towards an empty table. The business of this restaurant is really good. Not to mention the private rooms are all full, and even the seats in the lobby on the first floor are almost full. It's not time to eat yet.
, if you had come half an hour late, I'm afraid there would be no seats in the lobby on the first floor. After Xu Chen and Cao Man sat down, the waiter immediately brought a menu. Cao Man pushed the menu in front of Xu Chen. Xu Chen was polite and took it.
He started ordering as soon as he picked up the menu. After ordering more than a dozen dishes at once, Xu Chencai pushed the menu to Cao Man and motioned for the latter to order a few. Cao Man took the menu and ordered ten more dishes, and the two of them
There were a total of more than twenty dishes ordered, and each dish was valuable. But to Xu Chen and Cao Man, this cost was nothing. Moreover, the warrior had a big appetite and ordered more than twenty dishes.
The two of them ate everything without worrying about waste. Soon, the food was served one after another by the waiter. Xu Chen and Cao Man asked for a bottle of good wine. The two of them clinked a glass, drank it all, and then started eating the food.
Cao Man recommended this restaurant. The food tastes really good. It’s so delicious that you’ll want to swallow your tongue. The two of them ignored the image and were enjoying the delicacies in a storm. Suddenly they heard a group of Jianghu people at the next table talking to each other. "The classic of Liuyun Sect."
Zhang, he broke through to the Qi Control realm and became the first of the eight princes in one fell swoop. The Taishang Kingdom deserves to be the number one genius."
"Norizhang has really broken through to the air-bending realm? Isn't it just another rumor?"
"This news is absolutely true."
"Hiss~ Before Dianzhang broke through, he was vaguely the leader of the eight young masters. Now he is one step ahead of the others. He is the first of the eight young masters and deserves the title. But I don't agree with saying that he is the most talented person in the Taishang Kingdom."
"Yes, Su Yun of Qingling Sect, before becoming an elder, was also one of the eight young masters, and the only genius of Taishang Kingdom to be on the Dragon Transformation List."
"Although she took the initiative to refuse the title of 'young master' after becoming an elder for unknown reasons, no one doubts her talent. I think she should be the number one genius in Taishang Kingdom."
Listening to the chatter of a group of people at the next table, Xu Chen and Cao Man slowed down their eating movements. They raised their heads, looked at each other, and looked at each other. Dian Zhang of the Liuyun Sect actually succeeded in breaking through. He broke through one step ahead of the others.
Reaching the Qi Control Realm! Xu Chen frowned slightly. Whether it was Qin Qingrou's reasons, or what happened to the group at the exchange meeting, and later being attacked and killed by the remnants of the Blood God Sect, and the Liuyun Sect's suspiciousness, all made him feel suspicious
Yun Zong cannot be favored by this force. Dianzhang's breakthrough into the Qi Control realm and his confrontation with Liu Yun Zong was a great joy, but for him, it was bad news. He shook his head. That was the end of the matter. He also
Nothing can be changed. Instead of being resentful here, it is better to work hard to improve your strength. The twenty-eight-year-old Qi control realm is nothing. Immediately, his mind shifted to another thing. "The Eighth Young Master?"
He murmured in a low voice with doubts. Obviously, this was the first time he heard about the Eighth Young Masters. He didn't know which eight they were. Hearing the confusion in Xu Chen's voice, Cao Man explained: "The Eighth Young Masters are Taishang
The top eight people of the younger generation in the country, they are Dian Zhang from Liuyun Sect, Shi Guangling from Tianjian Villa, Ding Miao from Beast Control Sect, Du Sen from Hongye Sect, Mutai from Qingling Sect, and Long from Long Family.
Zhan Tian, Suchuan of the Su family, and Chen Daotian of the Chen family. Now that Dian Zhang has broken through to the Qi Control realm, he is truly the first of the eight young masters."
Xu Chen asked: "Elder Su Yun was also one of the Eighth Young Masters?"
"Yes, Elder Su Yun of our Qingling Sect is extremely talented and beautiful. Before she took the initiative to withdraw from the title of Eighth Young Master, she was the well-deserved number one genius. After Elder Su Yun, Dianzhang has also become the first of the Eighth Young Master.
.”
"Before Dianzhang broke through to the Qi Control realm, his number one ranking was actually controversial. For example, Shi Guangling from Tianjian Villa, Ding Miao from the Beast Control Sect, and Du Sen from Hongye Sect. All three of them had the ability to compete with Dianzhang.
His strength is high and low. Now that he has broken through to the Qi Control realm before everyone else, the younger generation of Taishang Kingdom really has no one to check and balance him."
"Not even Elder Su Yun?"
The image of Su Yun could not help but appear in Xu Chen's mind. Cao Man said: "If Elder Su Yun had not broken through to the Qi Control Realm, she would not be Dian Zhang's opponent, but I heard that she was already at the Qi Control Realm, but I didn't know the news.
true and false."
The two of them communicated and drank and ate. When they were full and about to leave to find a place to stay, a man in black walked into the restaurant, glanced around the hall, and finally walked straight towards Xu Chen. Xu Chen
Chen noticed the gaze of the man in black and saw the latter walking towards him. He was secretly wary in his heart. However, unexpectedly, the man bowed slightly to him and then said politely. "Mr. Xu, my son is here to invite you."
.”
"Who is your young master?"
Xu Chen asked. The man in black was arrogant, "Master Xu will know when he arrives."
Xu Chen felt slightly unhappy when he saw the man in black showing off. He shook his head and said, "I still have something to do."
The man in black looked stiff, but then he still said politely: "My young master has hosted a banquet and invites you to go. Mr. Xu will go with me to attend the banquet."
"Not interested in."
Xu Chen refused without hesitation. He invited him to the banquet, but kept it secret. Seeing that Xu Chen still refused, the man in black had no choice but to say: "My young master is the eldest prince, and Mr. Xu doesn't even have this face."
Give it?"
His Highness the First Prince? Long Zhantian! One of the Eight Young Masters. Young Master Long! After knowing that Long Zhantian invited him, Xu Chen’s first thought was, does Long Zhantian want to avenge General Long? But then he thought about it.
, he is now in the imperial city, and his every move is under the surveillance of Long Zhantian. If the other party really wants to harm him, there is no need to go to such trouble. "The banquet is about to begin. Mr. Xu, if it is convenient, please come with me.
.”
The man in black moved out of Long Zhantian, convinced that Xu Chen would not dare to refuse. "Lead the way."
Xu Chen said lightly. When the soldiers came to cover up the water and earth, he wanted to see what kind of medicine Mr. Long was selling in the gourd. The man in black showed a smile. In his opinion, the change in Xu Chen before and after was because he heard that the prince
His Highness, one of the Eight Young Masters of the Taishang Kingdom, no one dares to refuse his invitation. Even if the seven other young masters received the invitation, they would still give His Highness the Crown Prince a face. And Xu Chen
, he is just a new talent, and there is no comparison with His Highness the Crown Prince. After receiving His Highness’s invitation, he was so flattered that he dared to refuse. The man in black did not lead the way immediately, but looked at Cao Man and said: “His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not invite this young master.
..." Cao Man was embarrassed. There was also a surge of anger in his heart. Xu Chen's face also turned cold. He sat back down again and coldly issued an expulsion order, "Please leave, I will not attend this banquet."
Seeing that Xu Chen refused Mr. Long's invitation for his own sake, Cao Man was moved, but he still said: "Xu Chen, I won't go. You can go by yourself."
"Senior Brother Cao, there is no need to persuade you."
Xu Chen raised his hand to stop Cao Man. "Why are you still standing there? Didn't you hear what I said? Or do you want me to say it a second time?"
The man in black's face hardened, and he immediately tore off his polite disguise and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, you have to think clearly. His Highness the Crown Prince may be unhappy if you refuse the invitation."
"roll!"
Xu Chen shouted coldly without raising his head. The word 'go' contained terrifying power, and the man in black was shocked and took a few steps back. A little blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. The man in black steadied his body.
Finally, he looked at Xu Chen, who was in a state of indifference, and said, "You will regret it."
After saying the next sentence, he turned around and left. "Senior Brother Cao, don't worry. If Young Master Long really wants to invite me, he will never be angry over such a trivial matter. We will wait here. Within a quarter of an hour,
Mr. Long’s people will definitely come again.”
Xu Chen said very confidently. Sure enough, after only a cup of tea, another man walked into the restaurant. "Young Master Xu, Young Master Cao, and the villain Zhao Cong have come to invite the two young masters to the banquet."
The new man's attitude was even lower, and this time, he invited Cao Man. "Let's go."
Xu Chen got up, followed the man, and walked out of the restaurant. After half a cup of tea, Xu Chen and Cao Man came to a manor. In the manor, there were small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, green trees, and floating in the air.
There was a faint fragrance of flowers. Walking on the winding cobblestone path, Xu Chen felt inexplicably calm. As he walked, he admired the beautiful scenery in the manor. It was hard to imagine that there was such an elegant and quiet place in the noisy imperial city.
place. Soon, Xu Chen and others reached the end of the trail. In front of them was a small, blue and clear lake. The lake was blue and clear, with green grass beside the lake. In the center of the lake, there were eight pavilions and seven smaller pavilions.
The platform is guarded by a very broad pavilion. On the pavilion, there are figures walking around, and faint chatter and laughter can be heard. "This is the place. You two young masters can just go over there."
The man who led Xu Chen here stopped and said with a smile. Although there was a smile on his face, there was a trace of ridicule in his eyes. After saying that, the man saluted, glanced at Cao Man, and left.
"The pavilion in the lake is thousands of meters away from the lakeside, and there is no corridor leading to the pavilion and no boats. How can we get there?"
Cao Man frowned and said, "This should be a test!"
Xu Chen said lightly. There were more than just him and dozens of people by the lake. Some of these people looked at the lake and frowned, some had unwilling expressions, some had soaked clothes, and some had frustrated expressions on their faces. Xu Chen's gaze
I scanned these people and thought: These people should be the ones who have been eliminated. "If the tower in the lake is only a hundred meters away from the lakeside, I can give it a try, but it is a thousand meters away, I will definitely
make life difficult for."
Cao Man shook his head and said: "Walking on water for a thousand meters either means you have deep spiritual power or you have great lightness skills. Unfortunately, I don't have either of these two things."
"Xu Chen, I can only accompany you here."
Cao Man said in frustration. Xu Chen felt Cao Man's frustration. Just when he was about to speak, there was sudden rapid footsteps behind him, and a figure flew over. In an instant, he and Xu Chen appeared.
Behind him, when he saw the two dusty Xu Chens, the visitor frowned and scolded unceremoniously, "Where are you beggars? Get out of my way, sir!"
