Chapter 1975 Arrival at Xuancheng

Just when Luo Hong and the two were searching the Qingyang City treasure house, nothing happened to Chen Yang. With his kindness and power, and the support of Gu Qianxun, they quickly took control of Qingyang City.

Afterwards, Luo Hong and Han Li continued to stay in Qingyang City and learn Xuan Wen with the help of Taoist Xie, as if nothing had happened.

A whole year has passed like this. Luo Hong, who was meditating on the "Tiansha Prison Suppressing Technique" in the Baisheng Tower, slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath, and showed a smile.

"Boy Luo, you seem to have gained a lot from looking like this! Is this technique really so beneficial?"

Silver Fairy, who was previously responsible for protecting Luo Hong, flew over and couldn't help but ask.

"This skill is indeed the number one skill in the Demon Realm when the ancient Xuan Dao was prosperous. It is indeed extremely extraordinary.

Ordinary Xuan Dao skills, no matter what the level, are from the shallower to the deeper, and the further they go, the more difficult they are to practice.

But Tiansha Prison Suppressing Technique works in the opposite direction. The first three levels are its most essential parts. It is quite difficult to get started, but it is easier to practice later. "

Luo Hong originally thought that he had only obtained half of the technique. Even if he gained something this time, it would only be a deduction that could help him break through the eighth turn.

But he didn't expect that the first three levels of the Tiansha Prison Suppressing Technique are its essence. As long as they are practiced to perfection, the entire foundation can be laid.

The next nine levels are just building blocks on this foundation, and are of course less difficult to practice.

After understanding it thoroughly, Luo Hong discovered that the reason why he couldn't deduce the Nine-turn Xiaolong Kung Fu he practiced was because the foundation was lacking.

"What you gained this time is the key. Luo is confident that he will perfect the Nine Turns of the Sky Dragon Kung Fu, and he also asks the fairy to continue to protect Luo."

Luo Hong bowed her hands towards Silver Fairy.

"You can just leave it to me, this fairy!"

Silver Fairy immediately patted her chest and said.

On the other side, Han Li immediately started practicing the Heavenly Evil Prison Suppressing Technique.

With the help of the star pool left by Du Qingyang and the large number of Xuan-level beast cores given to him by Luo Hong, his Xuan Dao cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds.

Ten years passed in a flash, and the time for the Five Cities Competition was approaching.

Outside Baiyan City, the team led by Chen Yang was already waiting at the city gate, while he, Gu Qianxun and Han Li met Luo Hong in the castle.

Since they are all one of his own, Luo Hong no longer pretends to be pretentious at this moment. Da Ma Jin Dao sits on the main seat, looks at Zhu Yan and others in the hall and says:

"I have received news that this five-city competition is unusual. Not only is the reward extremely generous, but it is also related to a major event. You must let your people get as high a ranking as possible."

"Ten years ago, Zhu had followed Brother Luo's instructions and focused on cultivating those potential profound practitioners in the city. If the information is correct, at least half of them will be able to enter the top eighteen."

Zhu Yan was the first to speak.

The rules of the five-city martial arts competition are very simple. Each city will send out twelve Xuanshi, and Xuancheng will send out twelve more, for a total of seventy-two people to compete one-on-one.

As long as you enter the top 18, that is, survive the first two rounds, you can get good rewards.

The Xuanshi from each city are selected by the city lord, and there are almost no restrictions on their cultivation level, as long as they do not exceed the realm of Daluo.

Therefore, Zhu Yan's guarantee means that at least six people from Baiyan City can enter the top 18 in the martial arts competition.

"Chen cannot guarantee anything else, but at least Fellow Daoist Bone and Fellow Daoist Li can both enter the top ten."

After the top 18, there will be three rounds. In the first round, the winner and loser groups will be divided into nine people each. Then there will be two rounds of intra-group competition, with five people from each group entering the top ten.

Since a large number of experts in Qingyang City are die-hard loyalists of Du Qingyang and have been killed by Chen Yang to scare the monkeys, the Xuanshi selected by Chen Yang this time are all average in strength. They can only rely on Gu Qianxun, who has a good ranking in martial arts in the past. And Han Li, whom he can't see through now.

"Well, after you go back, try to motivate the Xuanshi under you. As long as you can survive the first round, you will get the Xuanwei specially refined by Luo for this martial arts competition."

Luo Hong has the memory of the original time and space, so he naturally knows that the top 18 in this martial arts competition will be taken to the Great Ruins by Na Ebo. Naturally, the more of his own people among these people, the better.

"Zhu/Chen understands."

Zhu Yan and Chen Yang replied at the same time.

Afterwards, the two city lords took Fang Chan and Gu Qianxun out of the hall respectively to make final preparations for departure.

"Junior Brother Han, how is your cultivation going?"

After he and Old Mo Han were alone in the hall, Luo Hong asked directly.

"The time is too short. I have only cultivated more than 200 mysterious orifices. I am still far away from the late stage of Taiyi. However, in terms of combat power, I am confident that I will not lose to the late Taiyi Xuanshi."

After all, it was too short a time to obtain the Tiansha Prison Suppressing Technique. With the blessing of various resources, Han Li could only improve his profound Tao cultivation to a small level.

However, relying on the increase in combat power brought by the true spirit bloodline, he can still fight head-on even against the Xuanshi at the peak of Taiyi.

"Well, Junior Brother Han doesn't need to pursue the ranking of martial arts. Try to hide your strength, especially the true spirit bloodline. It's best not to use it until critical moments."

Luo Hong reminded with a solemn expression.

In the original time and space, Han Li actively participated in the Five Cities Martial Arts Competition because only the top ten could obtain the Tianlin Meteor Crystal in exchange for Madam Liuhua removing the Black Tribulation Insect from his body.

But now that the black calamity bug in his body has been solved by Luo Hong, of course there is no need to show up in the martial arts arena.

"Senior Brother Luo, what kind of cultivation level does the Lord of Xuancheng, Ewei, deserve for us to be so careful?"

Although Han Li agreed with Luo Hong's suggestion that he should hide his strength, this also aroused his curiosity about Erqi's strength.

"This person's Xuan Dao cultivation is extraordinary. With my current strength, I can only fight him by activating secret arts, so I have to try to avoid a head-on fight with him."

The only person Luo Hong is afraid of now is Erqi. This guy has opened thousands of Xuanqiao, and his Xuan Dao cultivation has broken through the middle stage of Daluo. He also has practiced countless secret arts and fighting skills. His strength is unfathomable.

As for Sha Xin, the lord of Puppet City, who is as famous as him, Luo Hong is not very worried. After all, her puppet Dao strength is composed of puppets and charm spells, and the latter can basically have no effect on Luo Hong.

"In addition, Junior Brother needs to pay more attention to Chen Yang. Although his strength is lower than yours, I suspect that he has some connection with Puppet City."

After a pause, Luo Hong reminded again.

"I have my suspicions about this, I will keep a close eye on him."

Hearing this, Han Li immediately thought of the fact that he was discovered and peeped by Chen Yang. It stands to reason that Chen Yang, as a Xuanshi, could not have such a spiritual cultivation, but if he had colluded with Kuicheng, it would make sense.

Xuancheng is not close to the four affiliated cities, and the five-city martial arts competition held once every thousand years is also the largest tribute paid by the four cities to Xuancheng. With so many beast carts, the speed of travel cannot be too fast.

So, it was not until two years later that the convoy formed by the merger of Baiyan City and Qingyang City arrived near Xuancheng.

Xuancheng was built on a mountain range, and its core is still to shelter from the wind, so it looks no different from Baiyan and Qingyang City, but the difference in scale is huge.

After passing through the last section of the plain road with smoke and dust everywhere, everyone came to the gate of Xuancheng.

Luo Hong looked at the towering city wall, only to see that it was built with large pieces of black rocks and inlaid with huge pieces of white animal bones.

These animal bones are different from what Luo Hong had seen before. The surface is all shining, and it is obvious that there is star power flowing in them.

Luo Hong was not surprised by this, because he had seen instruments with similar characteristics in the private vaults of Sun Tu and Du Qingyang.

Those things are called star instruments, which are the only treasures in the Jilin Void Realm that can use the power of stars before Luo Hong arrived.

Although both Xuan instruments and Xing instruments use the power of stars, the methods are different.

The former directly mobilizes the star power in the beast core, while the latter mobilizes the star power between the surrounding heaven and earth.

This makes it much easier to refine Xuan instruments than Xing instruments, but the power is a little worse.

"All star instruments are refined by Madam Liuhua. Unlike me, this person has really opened up a lineage of instrument refining. I can communicate with her after entering the city."

Thinking of this, Luo Hong has already sat on the black-scaled beast shaped like an elephant and came to the city gate.

There are three gates in Xuancheng, one in the middle, and two smaller secondary gates on each side.

The main gate is usually not open, but today is obviously an exception.

"It turns out that you are the Lord of Zhu and the Lord of Chen. You two are here together.

I am Tong Song, and I am responsible for welcoming you. Please bring the Xuanshi who will participate in the martial arts competition with me to the City Lord's Mansion."

The young man with thick eyebrows stood among a group of armored soldiers and introduced himself.

"Tong Daoyou, you are too polite. I wonder if the people from the other two cities have arrived?"

Chen Yang returned the greeting and asked.

"The distinguished guests from Tongyu City and Xuanzhi City have arrived. After welcoming you to the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord will most likely meet you immediately."

Tong Song replied with a kind smile.

"Without further delay, I will trouble you, Tong Daoyou."

Chen Yang said very politely.

Tong Song responded and told his subordinates to arrange the rest of the people. He led the way for Luo Hong and others.

The buildings in Xuancheng were basically built with black rocks, with a rough and simple style. They were cleaner than Qingyang City and Baiyan City, and there was not so much smell of animal blood in the air.

However, when he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Luo Hong's eyes lit up. He saw that there were many rare vegetation in the Jilin Kongjing in the mansion, which was built like a beautiful garden.

There were many black stone sculptures on both sides of the road in the mansion, including human figures, animal figures, and some strange gods that were half human and half animal.

This entire City Lord's Mansion was a huge palace.

After being led by Tong Song for more than an hour, everyone came to a stone hall.

After entering the stone hall, Luo Hong immediately saw a lot of people. They were sitting in front of the table, some sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, or drinking and having fun. They were the Xuanshi from Tongyu and Xuanzhi cities who arrived in Xuancheng before them.

"City Lord Fu, City Lord Qin, long time no see, hope you are well."

Chen Yang stepped forward and bowed to a short, middle-aged man with a dark nose and a tall, thin, pale-faced middle-aged man who looked like a consumptive.

The two men were Fu Jian, the City Lord of Tongyu City, and Qin Yuan, the City Lord of Xuanzhi City.

"Hmph! City Lord Zhu, how did you get together with this traitor?"

Fu Jian snorted at Chen Yang and looked at Zhu Yan and asked.

"On the way."

He just replied with two words, and Zhu Yan led the people of Baiyan City to an empty table.

"Ahem, Master Luo, I don't know when I can refine the next batch of earth-level Xuan weapons. Qin has prepared the required earth-level beast cores."

Qin Yuan ignored Chen Yang and bowed to Luo Hong.

"Haha, it's easy to say. It just so happens that Luo doesn't go on stage to compete. When you meet Lord Ebo, you can just send those earth-level beast cores."

Luo Hong smiled and replied that if someone gave him an earth-level beast core, he would certainly welcome it.

On the other side, although Chen Yang was frustrated, he didn't show any anger.

Anyway, these affiliated cities are not allowed to attack each other. As long as Xuancheng recognizes his identity, he is not afraid of any problems with his position as city lord.

Not long after everyone in Qingyang City was seated, there was suddenly a sound of heavy footsteps outside the palace door. A middle-aged man of medium build and ordinary appearance stepped over the threshold and walked in. Behind him were a man, a woman, and two men. A man wearing bone armor.

This middle-aged man has slightly frosty temples and some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. He looks really ordinary, no different from a farmer.

On the contrary, there were two people behind him, one with a majestic appearance, the other with a beautiful face and a cold temperament. The bone armor they wore were also carved with exquisite patterns, exuding waves of star power.

Seeing the visitor, the four city lords immediately took the lead and stood up, and then everyone saluted them and said:

"See the Lord of Ewan City!"

"Haha, everyone, please sit down."

The middle-aged man first came to the main seat and sat down, then with a gentle smile on his face, he pressed his palms twice and motioned for everyone to sit down.

"There are a lot of new faces this year, which is good. This shows that our Xuancheng is full of talents and full of vitality."

E Pang's eyes swept over everyone, especially lingering on Zhu Yan and Chen Yang for a moment, and his tone was gratifying.

Qin Yuan and Fu Jian both slandered after hearing this, Zhu Yan just let it go. Although Sun Tu's death was strange, it was probably him who had the wrong idea first.

But Du Qingyang was killed by Chen Yang's betrayal in the city. If such behavior could be acquiesced, their future life would not be easy.

However, Eva ignored their dissatisfaction and continued to speak:

"In recent years, the strength of Puppet City has grown extremely fast. Although it has never had a large-scale conflict with us, it has repeatedly caused small-scale frictions.

Fortunately, Master Luo joined us in Xuancheng and refined a large number of mysterious weapons, allowing us to firmly gain the upper hand.

Otherwise, I will have a headache. "

"Your Majesty the City Lord, you are ridiculous. Since Luo has joined Xuancheng, he should do his best."

Luo Hong waved his hand with a humble attitude.

"Haha, Master Luo, there is no need to belittle yourself. If you have merit, you should be rewarded. I will send three heaven-level beast cores to you later."

E's eyes were filled with admiration, and he immediately spoke boldly and authentically. (End of chapter)
