C1377 Start of the Martial War
Almost all the famous experts had arrived at the banquet, and they sat upright with indifferent expressions.
Outside, many cultivators sat together and chatted and laughed, discussing nothing more than some medicinal herbs, battle skills, cave dwelling, cultivation grounds, or even the famous beauty of Tai Cang World.
"Have you heard? If Duan Zehua can get first place this time, Zhen Family Lord will marry her granddaughter Zhen Wei to him!"
"Is that so? Zhen Wei is really a fairy. I once looked at his from afar and felt that even my soul was about to disappear."
"You're not peeing to take care of yourself, are you even worthy of fantasizing about Zhen Wei?"
"I feel that Zhen Wei and Duan Zehua are truly a perfect couple."
"If Duan Zehua marries Zhen Wei, wouldn't that be the equivalent of an alliance with the Zhen Family?"
"That's right, if a heaven's pride level expert like him were to join the Zhen Family, it would definitely cause a stir in the Tai Cang World."
"?"
As Chu Yun's position was not high, he could only sit at the very edge.
Duan Zehua, as expected, sat in the very center, enjoying the glory of being the center of attention, a faint smile hanging from the corner of his mouth.
This was his characteristic. He would maintain this sort of indifference at all times, never changing his expression even when Mount Tai collapsed before him. He would remain completely calm when facing anything, as if nothing could arouse his interest.
Back then, during the battle with the Heaven's Pride of the Nocturnal Aperture, he did not have any expression on his face at all and easily took first place.
It was because of that battle that his name had spread far and wide!
"You're quite an arrogant one, but aren't you just a licking dog?"
Chu Yun couldn't help but want to laugh. After all, he was the greatest opponent of his match, so he naturally had to take him seriously.
Mo Bai sat between Chu Yun and Duan Zehua. She spoke very little and her temperament was more peaceful.
His entire body was emanating the aura of a book, causing one to be tempted to approach him.
"You are also surnamed Mo, could it be that you are from the same Mo Clan as Mo Chi?"
Chu Yun was bored, so he took the initiative to chat with Mo Bai.
Mo Bai nodded his head, "It's my big brother, Mo Chi."
After Chu Yun heard this, he grew closer to Mo Bai from the bottom of his heart.
So it was Mo Chi's little sister. Looks like everyone was one of them.
When Wang Feng heard that Chu Yun had taken the initiative to converse with Mo Bai, his gaze couldn't help but turn cold and fiercely glared at him.
There was a threatening look in his eyes.
Seeing that, Chu Yun laughed in his heart.
Jealousy?
In his eyes, there was a hint of warning and contempt, as if he was saying: You brat, you better stay away from me, and don't even look at your own identity, is Mo Bai someone you can get close to?
Chu Yun shook his head and ignored Wang Feng's gaze, continuing his chat with Mo Bai.
Initially, Mo Bai was not willing to talk, but after realizing that Chu Yun was very interesting to talk about, with vast experience, he could pick up any topic he wanted. Furthermore, his words were very talented, and suddenly, interest rose in her heart, as the two of them started to talk about things more and more.
Through chatting, Chu Yun found out that Mo Bai was a pure talented girl. He was quiet and elegant and did not talk much, but he was very knowledgeable and had his own understanding of many things.
"What do you think are the limitations of the slow development of the Tai Cang World?"
When Mo Bai reached the point where he was enjoying himself, he could not help but ask a question that had puzzled him for a long time.
Chu Yun pondered for a moment, then said: "The root cause of this stagnation is the concentration of power in the empire!"
He was just saying this sentence without much thought.
In the blink of an eye, the surroundings quieted down.
Chu Yun noticed that many of the people around were looking at him with shocked and shocked expressions, as if he had done something big.
"Cough, cough."
Chu Yun immediately covered it up with his dry cough.
Only now did he remember, this was the Tai Cang World, a Warring States that was ruled by the Supreme Champion Empire!
Emperor Xie Xiong was the ruler of the Overlord Empire, and furthermore, the ruler of the Tai Cang World!
Wasn't he saying these words to him?
Mo Bai's beautiful eyes widened in shock. She was stunned for a few seconds before reacting, her face somewhat pale. "Don't spout nonsense like that. It will lead to a fatal disaster!"
However, after careful consideration, this sentence contained a very intriguing truth.
Mo Bai took a deep breath. It could only be said that Chu Yun had seen everything thoroughly, as if he was an outsider watching everything from the sidelines.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
At this moment, Chief Eunuch Hu Yu Tang's voice sounded.
He was dressed in a dragon robe, and his eyes were like those of a tiger or wolf. With a single glance, he seemed to be able to see everything, and anyone who saw him would be forced to lower their head in fear.
He was the Emperor of the Overlord Empire, the mighty Xie Xiong!
One of the four Supreme Elders of Ancient Blue.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"?"
Everyone stood up and kowtowed to Xie Xiong.
Other than Zhen Yulan, Mo Yuan and Li Yaoxing, everyone else had knelt down.
"Stand up."
Xie Xiong's voice was mighty, he extended his hand and waved, everyone felt an unknown force lifting them up, they could not help but be shocked.
Is this the power of His Majesty?
A Titled Martial Saint was indeed extraordinary!
"Today, the banquet will have the addition of five extraordinary talents, and this is the pride of our Tai Cang World. We hope to see your brilliant performance, and to use your strength to announce to the outside world the heritage of our Tai Cang World!"
Xie Xiong's voice was extremely majestic, like thunder striking down, causing everyone's ears to ring.
"Alright, take your seats!"
Xie Xiong sat on top of a dragon seat alone, and sat in the most middle seat.
Beside them were Li Yaoxing, Zhen Yulan and Mo Yuan.
The four Supreme Elders of the Azure Sky were all present!
Such a scene truly made people feel terrified and uneasy.
Duan Zehua was a little excited as well.
If the Four Great Honored Warriors, the Emperor and the other powers of the Warring States that were watching the battle were able to win the championship in one fell swoop in such a situation, then his name would spread throughout the entire Nocturnal Aperture and he would become the undisputed number one heaven's pride level expert of the Tai Cang World!
Some pursued fame, others pursued profit.
Duan Zehua liked names.
He looked around, searching for Zhen Wei.
He really hoped that Zhen Wei would be able to witness his heroic appearance during the competition.
The main reason why I came to participate in the tournament is for you!
Only one!
However, it was a pity that he wasn't able to find anything after scanning the surroundings.
For some reason, ever since Zhen Wei came back, his temperament had changed a bit. He no longer had his usual liveliness and instead only went into closed door cultivation to cultivate, as if he had a heavy load on his mind.
Of course, Duan Zehua was not clear, the reason why she underwent such a change, was purely because of Shi Potian!
The reason why Zhen Wei didn't come was because he knew in advance that Chu Yun would be participating in the tournament.
She was so angry that her entire body was trembling, because wherever Chu Yun was, there would definitely be such a shameless stone!
She knew that with her current strength, she couldn't do anything to him, so she decided to just leave and not show up, lest she lose her composure in public.
"The banquet begins. Everyone should first taste the delicacies. After three cups of wine, the battle officially begins!"
Xie Xiong waved his hand, and immediately, many maids entered in a line, carrying all kinds of fine delicacies on the tray.
Wine was something that had been stored for hundreds of years.
Chu Yun and the others also had many delicious snacks on the table in front of them. It was just that at this time, no one had the mood to eat them.
Duan Zehua looked up into the sky and took a deep breath, his face full of enjoyment.
He really liked this feeling.
Everything felt like it was under control.
Wang Feng and Yu Wen were so excited that they were trembling.
Although they were heaven's pride level experts, they had never experienced such a scene before. They truly wished to be able to play as they pleased on such a grand stage. They didn't have to worry about being last, because the last place had already been reserved by that strange brat.
Since someone was determined to be the last, what psychological pressure could there be?
Let go, and do it.
On the other hand, Mo Bai was not nervous, but she did not have the appetite to eat. Her mind was filled with thoughts of how she was going to obtain an advantage when the time came.
Since he didn't want to take advantage of the situation in the Martial Competition, he could only try his best to avoid it.
Only Chu Yun was worried about the pastries, and continued to eat as if he was at home.
What psychological pressure?
What was there to be afraid of?
What are you nervous about?
None of them!
How many big scenes had he experienced? What was a small matter like this to him?
In any case, he had enough confidence in his own martial arts, so it all depended on the rules later.
Chu Yun ate very quickly, and not long later, a plate of dessert was finished.
He wiped his hands and directly brought the pastries in front of Duan Zehua.
It had to be said that the chef was quite capable. The pastry was very tasty, and people would still want to eat it even after it had been eaten.
When Wang Feng saw this scene, he couldn't help but reveal a contemptuous expression. He said in a low voice, "If you like it, after the banquet is over, I can pack these up for you to go back."
When these words came out, it immediately made many people in the surrounding area burst out in laughter.
This was clearly a taunt!
Unexpectedly, Chu Yun nodded his head in a rare manner: "I do rather like to eat this dessert, but after today's banquet ends, I'm afraid you won't be in the mood to pack it up."
Hearing this, Wang Feng's expression turned cold.
[This guy actually dares to talk back?
He was tired of living!
"Alright, I'll remember your words."
Wang Feng didn't say too much. In any case, this was going to be a martial fight.
If I don't beat him so badly, then I'll write my own last name backwards!
"Come, let's drink together!"
Xie Xiong picked up his wine cup, raised his head and drank his first cup.
Everyone quickly picked up their cups and started drinking together.
"Let's drink together!"
After a while, Xie Xiong picked up his wine cup again.
"Let's drink together!"
Xie Xiong picked up his wine cup for the third time.2
This time, there was a trace of boldness in his voice.
After drinking, Xie Xiong placed the first wine cup down, his eyes sweeping across the five people, and laughed: "We have drank three cups of wine, we announce that the Martial Competition will officially begin!"
