Three Hundred and Ninetieth IX Imperial Contest

A few days later, the Imperial Competition was officially held.

In the center of Tiandao City, in front of the Gilded Hall.

The younger generation of the Nine Cities of the Tiandao League all gathered here.

The requirements for participating in the Imperial Competition are to be under the age of 40, and to reach level five or above.

For this age group, being able to reach the fifth level of strength is also worthy of being a genius.

If Lei Yi didn't have the blessing of a plug-in, it is unknown whether he would be able to step into the middle realm before the age of 40.

It can be seen from this.

But at this moment, tens of thousands of people gathered on the martial arts arena outside the Gilded Hall.

Some of them fly in the air and stand high in the sky, while others step on magic weapons and walk against the wind.

Of course, most of the guests are on top of some huge flying artifacts, and people who are familiar with each other will get together to chat and communicate.

Even, it was like Xuanzhe was standing on a floating circular high platform, and sitting beside him were the City Lord of Nine Cities and the Hall Master of Three Halls of the Heavenly Dao League.

The high platform they are on is also the largest among all the magic weapons in the sky, and they fly the highest, which also shows their status, standing at the apex of the Tiandao League, no one is qualified to be higher than them.

The rest of the guests were also classified according to the level of flying. For example, Tie Sumei was surrounded by people from the Xuan family, and was located on a disc instrument under the Xuanzhai.

At this moment, even the guests sitting on the ground are all high-ranking families of the Tiandao League.

Idle people don't even have the qualifications to be near this place.

Around the palace complex, guards in golden armor can be seen everywhere patrolling the surrounding area. If they find any young people, they can be killed on the spot.

Lei Yi is now among the younger generation's team, surrounded by other people who participated in the competition in Puppet City.

It's a pity that he is not familiar with these people, and the other party has no intention of greeting him at all.

Taking this opportunity, Lei Yi looked up and recognized all the senior officials of Tiandao League.

The first is Xuanzhe, he has seen it countless times.

Then came the hall masters of the three halls, among them Xuan Ziyong and Xuan Lichen of Tianwu Hall, he had met these two a long time ago.

Similarly, he had also met Lu Zhiming and Zhu Youdan, the two masters of the Outer Blade Hall.

The two sat on the side of Xuanzhe,

With a calm demeanor, he was talking with a few people next to him, and he didn't know Lei Yi at all.

This is also very normal. When the two attacked Black Wind Village, they would not have paid attention to a middle-level junior below. Their opponent was Li Mu, the guardian of the East.

Among the three halls, it was the first time Lei Yi saw the last two hall masters of Shenguan Hall.

Feng Wuya and Tie Wugui, these are the names of the two current hall masters of Shenguan Hall.

Feng Wuya was a strange man with disheveled hair, a beard, and a black gown. Because his hair was disheveled, it even covered his face, making it difficult for people to see his face clearly. He had the decadent feeling of a contemporary artist.

On the contrary, it was Tie Wugui, who wore a high crown and a brocade robe, his eyes rolled from time to time, as if he was calculating something, and he had a shrewd look on his face.

As for why Lei Yi was able to distinguish the two clearly, it was because of Tie Sumei.

He recognized Tie Wugui at the first sight, because the other person's appearance was so similar to Tie Sumei's.

I have to say that the two are indeed brothers and sisters, and they are quite recognizable.

Since he recognized Tie Wugui, the other person sitting with him was naturally Feng Wuya.

Next is the city lord of Nine Cities.

Zhu Lie, the lord of the Demon Blood City in the north, has red hair, so similar to Zhu Youdan, it's easy to recognize.

After that was Mao Ding, the lord of Tianmen City in the south, because Lei Yi had met him before, so he saw this old man with a treacherous face at first sight.

In the three western cities, Gong Shujiu in a red robe with a red gourd hanging around his waist, and Sha Xin in purple gauze, Lei Yi is also familiar with them.

And there were two other people sitting with them. They were wearing earthy brown brocade robes, and their bodies were relatively thin. They looked like two white-faced scribes who were helpless.

Lei Yi has heard that the city lord of Yuan City is not one person, but a pair of brothers, one of them is in charge of the city's government affairs, and the other is in charge of the mine affairs. They complement each other and sit in Yuan City together.

"Presumably they are the two brothers Sima Wan and Sima Yi who are in charge of Yuancheng!"

Seeing their extremely similar looks, Lei Yi guessed their identities.

Yuancheng is also the only city with two city lords, but Tiandaomeng thinks this is necessary.

Because Yuancheng is the most important industry of Tiandao League, the ore produced every year from Yuancheng is the foundation of Tiandao League.

Therefore, arranging two brothers to manage together is also an emphasis on Yuancheng.

Finally, there are the three eastern cities. The first thing Lei Yi saw was Su Muliu, the lord of Baiyun City.

The other party was still the same, wearing a robe bordered with white clouds, with a good temperament.

But the most eye-catching thing was the big red tassel hanging on the waist of the other party, which was too eye-catching.

Bian Chengyi, the city lord of Medicine City, was an old man wearing a gray burlap shirt with patches on the cuffs and robe. He was dressed like an old farmer, and looked quite frugal.

The city lord of Hanhai City is a woman, and there are only two female city lords among the Nine Cities, the city lords of Hanhai City and Puppet City.

This city lord was named Yuan Zhongmei, wearing a blue hydration suit, with red dots printed on the center of his brows, with a high bun, glamorous looks, and a plump figure, he could be considered a rare beauty.

These few, even if they are the real high-level leaders of Tiandao League, at least they are the high-level people on the surface.

"It's a pity. Apart from them, the rest of the guests are at most around the eighth rank. Are these ninth-rank powerhouses the only ones in the Heavenly Dao League? And the mysterious leader, when will he How about showing up?"

Lei Yi memorized all the faces of these people in his mind, and then began to look for Xuan Wuyan's location.

Soon, he found Xuan Wuyan and Zhao Tiejiang couple on the ground below where a group of ordinary disciples of the Xuan family were.

The couple, although they are Xuanzhe's daughter and son-in-law in name, actually sit at the bottom.

Needless to say, the arrangement here is probably also hinted by Tie Sumei.

Perhaps because they noticed Lei Yi's gaze, the two also turned their heads to look over. The three of them met each other, and nodded to each other to signal one or two.

"Hehe, I haven't seen this kid for a few days, and his cultivation has increased again. Is this the middle stage of the alchemy realm?" Blacksmith Zhao was also a little surprised when he saw Lei Yi.

"It's nothing to increase your cultivation base. This kid's aura is calm, and his energy is not bad. He probably didn't use some secret technique to increase his cultivation base!" Xuan Wuyan felt that it didn't matter. audio channel.

"It's a pity. Although this kid is good, why did he come to participate in the imperial competition? Such a show of being in the limelight is not in line with our mission!"

"Hmph, what's wrong with participating in the Grand Competition, maybe this kid will be taken by my father?"

"Hehe, with that woman here, do you think this kid will have a chance?"

Xuan Wuyan and Zhao Tiejiang communicated secretly about Lei Yi's situation through voice transmission.

But obviously, because of Tie Sumei, both of them were not optimistic about Lei Yi, thinking that he would not get a good ranking.

But what they didn't know was that someone participated in the imperial contest because of a task arranged by others.

After Lei Yi greeted Xuan Wuyan and blacksmith Zhao, he glanced at the other young people present. These were all possible opponents he might encounter.

Fortunately, there are very few people who are able to break through the True Alchemy Realm before the age of 40. He scanned around and only saw a few people.

One of them, he still knew, was in the queue in Baiyun City.

"Su Muxi, has she also come to participate in the imperial competition?" Lei Yi complained after seeing the other party.

But think about it, this woman is the younger sister of the Lord of Baiyun City, and also the young lady of the Su family, so her status is justified if she comes to participate.

Moreover, this woman has already broken through to the True Alchemy Realm, so she is one of the candidates who is very likely to win the championship.

The strange thing is, it is said that Xuan Wuao will also participate in the imperial competition, but he is sitting beside Tie Sumei at this moment, and he is not in the queue in Tiandao City below.

"It couldn't be because Xuan Wuao didn't want to be with us people, so he didn't come down, could it?" Lei Yi thought, feeling strange for a while.

In fact, he guessed right.

Although Xuan Wuao was also one of the representatives of Tiandao City, but because of his noble status, he did not line up with the people below.

"My son is a body of gold, how can I stand with these lowly people, that's not a price drop!" These were Tie Sumei's original words when arranging the queue.

From the bottom of her heart, she despises the group of people below, and thinks that everyone, including Lei Yi, is a lowly person, unworthy to stand with Xuan Wuao.

I have to say how extreme this woman's temperament is, she dared to use her status in the imperial contest to do things that are convenient.

Lei Yi laughed it off, and listened carefully to Xuanzhe's announcement of the rules of the imperial contest.

This time, there were more than 200 young people from the big families of the Nine Cities of the Heavenly Dao League, young disciples from the Wairen Hall, Shenguan Hall, and Tianwu Hall.

Therefore, Dabi chose to be divided into sixteen groups. Each group will compare the top two in the same group according to the record of each other, and then advance.

In this way, after each group of competitions, the top thirty-two can be determined.

Afterwards, they will play against each other in twos, and after any competition, the first place in the big competition will be determined.

Grouping was decided by lottery. Lei Yi followed the crowd and was divided into a group of more than ten people.

The group he was in was divided into ordinary people, all of them were of the fifth and sixth ranks, and there were both warriors and immortals.

Among these people, there are disciples from aristocratic families with arrogant attitudes, warriors dressed in relatively simple clothes, and a few third hall disciples with a relatively strong aura.

But these people are not a threat in Lei Yi's eyes. As long as he is careful, he is confident that he will not capsize in the gutter.

Similarly, some of the sixth-tier people in the team also mostly hold the same idea.

They looked at the other contestants around, full of fighting spirit.

"It's a pity, there is no way to deal with Xuan Wuao immediately, otherwise I really don't want to join in the fun!"

Lei Yi looked at Xuan Wuao who was sitting next to Tie Sumei in the sky, killing intent appeared in his eyes.

Participating in the imperial competition was not his goal, his real goal was decided from the very beginning, which was to kill the second ancestor of the Xuan family.
