Qixia City is located in the northern part of the Upper Heaven Realm. Qingshen calls it Qixia City, but it is actually the Qixia Kingdom. Compared with the many mortal kingdoms in the Upper Heaven Realm, it is a relatively large one. In addition to the main city of Qixia Capital, there are also many small towns nearby, which are mutually exclusive. There are many roads, developed trade and dense population.
The reason why Qixia City has developed to the prosperous scene it is today is firstly because of its superior terrain and climate, and secondly because this place has been the headquarters of the Shenhui Alliance for thousands of years.
The Shenhui Alliance is not a behemoth like the Temple of the God Emperor. It is more of a false name. It exists to coordinate the many Shenhui in the heaven. The Shenhui Alliance does not have a specialized organization. At most, it borrows Pinxuan from Qixia City. Pavilion, just bring the presidents of the major divine associations over for a meeting, have a chat, and ensure that the various divine associations will not kill each other.
However, with such a relationship, Qixia City is a bit special. As a temporary meeting place and event venue, no one wants to go to a poor city for meetings all the time, so everyone takes care of it. Qixia City has everything , mixed well.
This year is another sword tasting competition held once in a century, and Qixia City has another opportunity to make a lot of money. It should be said that the king of Qixia Kingdom is in pain and happiness. After every sword tasting competition, so many pure gods gather together , everyone is the boss, and it is Qixia City that suffers the consequences. However, after that, the huge income brought by the Sword Competition can completely renovate, rebuild and expand Qixia City.
It is said that the origin of the Sword Tasting Conference was that the presidents of several divine guilds gathered together to chat about household matters and show off their sidearms. Later, somehow, it became a grand event for the entire heaven, and it became a convention. , once every hundred years, so far, the scale of this sword competition has far exceeded what was originally imagined. Even God Emperor Gou Mang paid a visit once...
There are still five days left until the official start of the Sword Ceremony, and the entire Qixia City is already crowded with people. On the surface, everyone is harmonious, but privately, there are turbulent undercurrents, and there are already countless disputes.
It's not far from Yuelingyuan to Qixia City. Ye Yi arrived two days ago. In the past two days, he was wandering around the city. He saw a lot of familiar people and almost became familiar with unfamiliar people, but he didn't see him at all. Traces of Tianlan.
Isn't Tianlan coming?
Ye Yi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he had already arrived and was being roped in by many acquaintances, so he couldn't refuse.
It has to be said that in the past fifty years, Ye Yi has developed a good habit of being charitable in order to find Tianlan. Although he has made many enemies, he has more friends and has more or less connections with all the major forces in the heaven. In the past two days, In Qixia City, he met many people he had helped, as well as several enemies, but Ye Yi was not interested in any of these guys. He was worried about only one thing: whether Tian Lan would come.
Being indoctrinated by an acquaintance, Ye Yi probably also knew the process of this sword competition. In short, it was two things: treasure appraisal, martial arts competition, other auctions, banquets, etc., all scraps.
Treasure appraisal has nothing to do with Ye Yi. With his little eyesight and knowledge, he is a solid layman. As for martial arts competitions and the like, he might be able to join in the fun.
Before the treasure appraisal session officially started, the organizer also held a cocktail party. It was probably an old tradition passed down. Ye Yi didn't want to go at first, but was pulled by an acquaintance and went anyway.
The venue for this cocktail party is Pinxuan Pavilion, which is the largest and most luxurious pavilion in Qixia City. It is even more grand than Qixia Palace. After all, Qixia City relies on this to make ends meet.
Ye Yi arrived at Pinxuan Pavilion, showed his invitation and went in. Before entering the main hall, before he had time to look around, an old man with a white beard came forward cheerfully and said: "It must be Ye Shenzun, I have admired you for a long time."
Ye Yi felt a chill. He was told by an old man that he had admired him for a long time. Then he was an old monster. What the hell? He was the youngest among this bunch of monsters who were thousands of years old. How could he be called old as soon as he came up? Already.
Of course, he complained in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face at all. After all, he had been living in the Heaven Realm for more than a day or two, and he still understood simple principles of communication.
He also put on a friendly expression and said: "Oh, you know me, please forgive my blindness, you are..."
The white-bearded old man smiled and said: "My surname is Bai and my given name is Qiu. I am currently the president of the Southeast Feixue City Divine Association. Everyone calls me Bai Lao. I am recommended by everyone. I am temporarily responsible for the matters related to the Sword Tasting Conference. Lord Ye is here to visit us. It's really our What an honor,”
Ye Yi said a little strangely: "Mrs. Bai, you're too polite. I'm just a nobody, so how can I be honored?"
Bai Qiu stroked his beard and smiled: "Ye Shenzun doesn't know something, but you are now the person with the fastest progress in cultivation among the Zhengshen. In history, except for the legendary Emperor of Heaven and God Emperor Jumang, your cultivation is the fastest. You've made the fastest progress. Some people even call you 'Rising Star' in private at Fisher, the number one genius of the younger generation."
Ye Yi was ashamed. After Bai Qiu said this, he realized that this seemed to be the case. Logically speaking, he was not that 100% dedicated to cultivation, but his cultivation had progressed unexpectedly quickly and he was now at the middle level. The peak of God is not far away from the upper gods.
Being able to cultivate from an ignorant low-level god to a middle-level peak in just a few decades is indeed enough to stand out from the crowd. Just when he was busy looking for Tianlan, his reputation also spread out inadvertently, and Qingshen knew it. There is such a talented new star, and the only one who is unaware of his talent is probably himself.
He and Bai Qiu exchanged some polite words, and then there were more and more guests, so he could no longer waste Bai Qiu's time. As the host, Bai Qiu must be very busy today.
However, Ye Yi was destined not to be idle. Many of the guests present saw him talking to Bai Qiu. What kind of person was Bai Qiu? Chatting with him alone for so long proved that he had some background. Therefore, Ye Yi finally After sending Bai Qiu away, a bunch of people came over and became acquainted with him.
Ye Yi could only worry about it while trying his best to deal with it, and at the same time he was helpless in his heart. He was really not used to this kind of communication and dealing with tasks. Even fighting with others for three days and three nights was better than being chased and attracted by a bunch of boring people. .
In the past, in the human world, if these things happened, Tian Lan would handle them, so he didn't have to worry at all. Oh, Tian Lan, where did you go?
Ye Yi was depressed. The acquaintance who invited him here before didn't show up. Could it be that he ran away from the battle and was deceived.
At this time, seven or eight people came in together. The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was tall and gave people an impression of being as calm as a mountain.
Ye Yi couldn't help but take a second look at who this was.
The voices of people nearby came to my ears: "The people from the security team are here. Look, this time it's Qiao Rushan, the captain of the first detachment of the security team. I heard that he is a high-ranking god. He is the third officer of the security team." One of the big mountains, even he was invited. This sword tasting conference is really interesting,"
It turned out to be him. Ye Yi had also heard of Qiao Rushan's name. It should be said that the reputations of the great gods in the Heaven Realm were getting louder and louder than the last. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was like thunder, but this was the first time for Ye Yi. Meet Qiao Rushan himself.
Ye Yi didn't know how this high-level god's evaluation came about. He himself didn't participate in any middle-level god's evaluation, so he became a middle-level god in a daze. Could it be that everyone made a blind judgment based on their feelings.
Then a group of big shots came, most of them were the presidents of a certain Shenhui. Naturally, Ye Yi didn't recognize them. There were about forty or fifty presidents and vice-presidents. As for the Buyun Shenhui to which Ye Yi currently belongs. But no one came.
In addition to those who attended the Shenhui, there were more casual cultivators who came. Most of them came to participate because they heard the excitement, or were forced to do so by their friends. In short, there were seven or eight hundred people here.
Ye Yi paid a general attention. These people are basically lower-ranking gods. They come from various forces. It is not just the Shenhui and the guard team. Many gods like to have a little influence of their own. Most of the middle-ranking gods are members of the Shenhui. There are hundreds of people at the level of president and vice-president. As for the upper gods, there are only two Bai Qiu from the Feixue Divine Association and Qiao Rushan, the captain of the first detachment of the security team.
These two high-level gods have been famous for a long time. Although they seem quite approachable, they have killed hundreds of mid-level gods under their hands, and there are countless lower-level gods. They are all bloody madmen. .
Nearly an hour had passed since Ye Yi arrived. As more and more people came to the venue, Ye Yi became less conspicuous. Finally, no one bothered him to talk about anything. He was happy and relaxed, hiding in the corner and hugging him. Have a drink with a wine bottle.
At this time, there was a noise at the door. Did anyone come again?
Ye Yi sat on the window frame, tilted his body and looked over there. His position was slightly higher and it was easier to see around. However, there were too many people over there, so Ye Yi looked around for a while before he could see clearly. people.
Five people came, all young in appearance.
The man walking at the front was wearing a starry dark costume, his hair was dark blue, and his eyes were blue. His expression was both arrogant and cold. He wore a golden crown with long hair. When his clothes are spread down, he looks solemn and noble. At first glance, his appearance is not as impressive as Tianlan's. It can only be said to be ordinary, but his arrogant temperament is still fresh in our memory and unique. .
Next to him is a woman in white, with a soft appearance and a gentle and generous temperament. Ye Yi has never seen such a beautiful woman. That kind of beauty is not external beauty, but an indescribable inner beauty, at least in the heaven. He has not seen a more perfect woman than this woman in many years.
Behind the man and woman were three men, all very young. The youngest one looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the other two were slightly older, but only ten years old. Looking at the positions of the three of them, The man and woman were faintly placed in the center, as if to protect them.
