With the actual arrival of the day of the hunting competition, the atmosphere in the Imperial City has truly reached its peak.
All the forces in the city, big and small, flocked to participate, and even people from out of town came to watch the fun.
The huge flow of people gathered at such grand events undoubtedly greatly boosted the economy of the Imperial City.
Hotels, pubs, restaurants, and various types of shops are all overcrowded and business is booming.
Of course, no matter what the purpose of the hunting competition is, the younger generation who can stand out from it will not only have their own reputation improved, but the family power behind it will also get a huge harvest.
Early morning.
In the martial arts training ground of Ye Mansion, six green wind eagles stand proudly.
The huge beast's body is covered with sharp green feathers that look like sharp blades, giving it a rather majestic appearance.
This kind of bird-like fourth-level monster is extremely fast and has always been used as a means of transportation by senior figures in large families.
At this time, a large number of people gathered on the wide field.
Everyone from the Ye family, men, women, old and young, came here to see them off and build momentum for the five family members who were about to join the war.
"Walk!"
Ye Junxiong looked around, without any unnecessary nonsense, and with a wave of his hand, he took the lead and flew to the back of the green wind eagle.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...!!
Immediately afterwards, Ye Yang, Ye Hong, Ye Han, and Ye Lingfeng all moved.
Four figures suddenly rose up almost at the same time and landed firmly on the back of the eagle.
Ye Wencheng's fat body was not that flexible, and he climbed up the back of the sculpture clumsily.
He also wants to look cool, but his strength doesn't allow it.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...!!
Immediately, under the leadership of Ye Junxiong, Ye Yang and Ye Han all rode the Qingfeng Eagle and soared into the sky.
In an instant, the sound of rushing wind resounded in the sky.
The location of the hunting competition, according to previous rules, was set in a jungle on the outskirts of the city, the Forest of Mist.
Its territory is vast and teeming with monsters, making it extremely suitable for hunting.
However, the entry point is located in the square in front of the palace, and the teleportation array will transport the contestants there.
Mid-air.
Ye Han seems to have done this intentionally, claiming the position of the 'leading wolf', flying in front of Ye Yang and the others, second only to the old family master.
Regarding this, Ye Yang looked calm, and there was no need to compete with him for this empty position.
He stepped on the back of the sculpture, his clothes rustled, and he enjoyed the pleasure of the wind and waves blowing on his body.
Then he glanced around and saw many figures riding various birds and beasts in various neighborhoods in the city, quickly heading in the same direction.
Most of these guys are members of various forces competing in the city.
Each team is led by the boss of their respective family, and everyone is high-spirited.
"There are quite a lot of people participating."
Looking at the huge crowd in the street, a trace of surprise flashed in Ye Yang's eyes.
"The families that dominate the Imperial City are very powerful. If there are five contestants from each family, there must be thousands of people in total."
Ye Wencheng obviously researched the data of previous competitions and said in a positive tone.
"so much."
Hearing this data, Ye Yang's face moved slightly.
With so many contestants trying to compete for the top five rankings, the level of competition is undoubtedly very fierce.
"The hunting ground is a jungle. It's such a big place. What if outsiders interfere?"
Ye Yang just arrived and didn't understand the rules, so he asked confusedly.
"You can rest assured about this."
Ye Wencheng grinned and said: "Every time a competition is held, the royal family will invite masters from the Talisman and Seal Script Association to set up a large rune array in the forest to clear out those irrelevant people in advance."
"Now in the Forest of Mist, except for monsters, there will be no outsiders."
Hearing this, the surprise in Ye Yang's eyes couldn't help but become a little more intense.
For such a large hunting ground, using rune formations would probably cost a lot of money.
"The resources that the royal family receives each time, and the rune fee, is simply a drop in the bucket."
Ye Wencheng sneered, "In my opinion, this kind of hunting competition is actually a cover used by the royal family to steal the resources of various families."
"The more families they want to join, the better."
"It's a good thing it's only held once every ten years, otherwise, everyone would have finished playing."
Hearing this, Ye Yang raised his eyebrows lightly, but he understood the meaning.
This kind of hunting competition is like a game specially held by the royal family to fill the treasury.
"Let me tell you quietly, the head of the family has made a huge investment this time, taking the Dongjie Fang Market run by our family as a lucky draw."
Ye Wencheng controlled the Qingfeng Eagle to fly close to Ye Yang and whispered: "If we win, we will definitely get back the lost West Street City with the capital and profits."
"But if we lose, the foundation of our family will be greatly damaged. I'm afraid we won't even be able to eat monster meat in the future."
Hearing this, Ye Yang was slightly startled.
A while ago, he had been to Dongjie Fang City several times, and he was very aware of the considerable economic benefits gained from the lively flow of people.
Besides, there is an underground Colosseum, which is the main source of income.
If Dongjie Fang City really loses, it will indeed shake the foundation of the entire Ye family.
Suddenly, Ye Yang raised his eyes and looked at Ye Junxiong, who was flying at the front.
This old family leader seems to be planning to play a big game with his chips this time.
After a while.
The group finally arrived at their destination.
Viewed from above, the architectural layout of the entire palace can be seen almost at a glance. The vast number of palaces and pavilions are majestic.
With such a majestic and majestic scale, the mansions of the four major clans are completely dwarfed by comparison.
In the center of the square to the north of the palace, stands a huge building like a pyramid, covered with mysterious runes.
This building is the entry point to the Forest of Mist.
At the same time, it is also the final battlefield for ranking battles.
The place was already overcrowded at this moment, and everyone gathered outside the square.
Only family members participating in the hunting competition can enter the square.
Such a grand event brought with it many hidden dangers. The Public Security Department in the city mobilized almost all its forces to maintain order.
"Look, the Ye family from the four major clans are here."
Six green wind eagles screamed and swooped down, and most people's eyes were immediately attracted to it.
They didn't have much impression of the younger members of the Ye family, but they were very familiar with Ye Junxiong's reputation.
Because in addition to being the head of the Ye family, Ye Junxiong was also the commander-in-chief of the Zhenbei Army who controlled military power in the court.
The vicious reputation of his youth is still passed down to this day even after decades.
Because he is now old, he is in a semi-retired state.
If nothing urgent happens on the border, he usually stays in the Imperial City to enjoy his old age and raise the younger members of his family.
"The Ye family failed in the last hunting competition and lost the management rights of West Street City. I don't know what will happen this time?"
"The top five should be no problem. After all, the younger generation of the Ye family heard that there is a swordsman genius, and the awakened martial spirit is the same 'dragon pattern sword' as their family's ancestors. It is very powerful."
"I've also heard that that person seems to be called Ye Han. Is he the cold young man at the front?"
During the discussion among the crowd, countless eyes were cast on Ye Han.
But he saw Ye Han wearing a white shirt, his body as straight as a spear, and his sharp edge was revealed.
It's strange that such a deliberately cold and arrogant expression can go unnoticed.
