C1346 Election Registration
Knock, knock, knock.
Her heart was beating very fast, but it did not matter. Under the control of her inner energy, only she could hear the heavy heartbeat.
She stuck close to the wall and carefully touched the side wall of Ding He Hall's courtyard. There was a huge ancient tree there. Zhou Ju could use the branches of the ancient tree to directly leave Ding He Hall. As for why she didn't go through the main door and the back door, it was naturally because of the threat Jiang Feng posed before he went to sleep, which made her doubt it.
She could climb up the tree and escape. She met up with Senior Brother Liangqi and the others.
Zhou Ju raised her head and climbed up the huge branch of the ancient tree as quietly as possible.
She was about to reach the top of the branch!
Zhou Ju was overjoyed. She was about to leave the Jiang Feng who had brought her to seek death.
She reached out her right hand to grab the dark tree branch, but she felt something different from the wood.
"Ahh ~"
A yawn that was woken up by someone rang out under the cover of the dark tree.
"Say, don't you think that you're going to have an affair with someone else and got caught by your husband on the spot?"
Who else could it be if the "thing" that Zhou Ju caught was not Jiang Feng?
Zhou Ju screamed as she fell off the tree and sat on the ground. Jiang Feng jumped off the branch and looked at Zhou Ju, who was sitting under the tree. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Zhou Ju was barefooted at the moment. In order to make it easier for her to move, she was only wearing a bellyband. She looked like a young married woman who ran off to have an affair with someone else.
It had to be said that this young lady Zhou Ju was indeed quite pretty. Her current clothing and the quiet environment around her made Jiang Feng's heart feel like it was being scratched by a cat. It was burning, painful, and itchy.
However, when he thought about how he couldn't let his wife Wang Rou, who was still guarding outside the miasma forest, down, Jiang Feng held back his urge and used a silver needle to numb Zhou Ju, who was sitting on the ground and had no idea what to do. He carried her back to the house to let her rest well.
Time quickly arrived at the Castle Lord Contest two days later. During the two days after Jiang Feng captured her, Zhou Ju honestly explained a lot about the internal situation of Impermanence Castle to Jiang Feng. At the same time, she no longer wanted to leave Jiang Feng to meet up with Liangqi and the others.
At the same time, the people of World Cloud Castle didn't come to find them. Everything seemed so calm and peaceful.
"Let's go. It's time for us to go to Wuchang Mountain."
Zhou Ju pushed open the door of Dinghe Hall. She called out to Jiang Feng, who was walking leisurely behind her, indicating for him to walk faster.
The Impermanence Mountain that Zhou Ju spoke of was the forbidden area that Fu Jili had mentioned earlier, where the competition for the position of lord of each generation would be held.
On the way, the two of them saw many people from other halls start to fight. Zhou Ju wanted to explain to Jiang Feng, but was stopped by Jiang Feng. He indicated that there was no need to waste time, because Jiang Feng understood that the battles on the way were just a way to intimidate others and show off his power.
As they walked, Jiang Feng noticed that there were many powers that he didn't know fighting each other. So he remembered that he hadn't asked Zhao Ju about the distribution of power in the castle.
Zhou Ju was stunned. She stopped and explained the distribution of forces in the castle to Jiang Feng. The two of them continued on their way.
Soon, they arrived at the registration area at the foot of Wuchang Mountain.
"Isn't this Castle Lord Contest only for people with identity tokens? Why are there more than ten registration points?"
Jiang Feng was greatly puzzled as he looked at the bustling crowd of people at the foot of Impermanence Mountain, and Zhao Ju also expressed that she didn't know what was going on with the Castle Lord Contest this time.
Just as the two were confused and confused, Zhou Ju saw a guard hall disciple that she knew, so she went up to ask.
After a short exchange of pleasantries, Zhou Ju learned from this guard hall disciple about the situation of the Lord Contest this time -
As the dignified Lord of the Guardian Hall was dissatisfied with the rotten system of the Lord's Contest, after consulting with Sot Old Ancestor, he slightly adjusted the rules of this Lord's Contest.
This time, the Castle Lord Contest was different from the usual battles between qualifiers. Experts were allowed to take up positions, but people with identity tokens were allowed to take their subordinates to participate. Let's see which force can take the lead to find the jade ring left behind by the Lord of the Castle in this perilous Impermanence Mountain, and protect the jade ring to head to the peak of the Impermanence Mountain to open up the legacy of the Everlasting Castle's Lord.0
And when a certain power obtains the inheritance of the previous Lord of the Castle, everyone must acknowledge this person's identity as the Lord of the Castle.
Jiang Feng still didn't understand. He asked Zhou Ju, "Haven't the rules of this' Lord of the Castle Competition 'been abided by for a thousand years? How can it be changed just like that?"
"I heard from the senior brother of the Guardian Hall that when we ran for the Castle Lord as per the old rules, it would always lead to the dissatisfaction of the major powers who failed to run for the Castle Lord position in the end, causing chaos and division in the castle."
"But now, the forces of the Impermanence Castle can no longer bear such a situation. In addition, the Guardian Hall has always opposed the election of the Castle Lord for the sake of maintaining peace within the castle. Thus, the dignified head of this guard has proposed this reform plan to Sot Old Ancestor."
So that's how it is.
Jiang Feng rubbed his chin and thought.
If that was the case, even if the more powerful forces in the castle couldn't take the Lord's position, they would have to accept it and admit that they weren't strong enough to avoid the chaos and division in the castle after the birth of the new Lord. This rule was indeed beneficial to the stability of the inner area of the Sot Castle.
But in this way, I'll be alone and suffer!
Jiang Feng began to regret not bringing the Sky Blabber Island disciple that Wang Rou brought in.
"Can you call the people outside to come in now?" Jiang Feng still did not give up and asked Zhou Ju.
Zhou Ju shook her head and said, "Not to mention that the people you brought and the people from Dinghe Hall are not enough to fight any of the forces here. Even if we call them in now, it will be too late."
Jiang Feng raised his head and looked at the high noon sun in the middle of the sky. Then he looked at the various forces lining up and couldn't help but sigh.
"Alright, let's go register first. It seems like we can only wait for the opportunity to act. When the other powers find the jade ring, we'll think of a way to intercept them halfway."
As he spoke, Jiang Feng pulled Zhou Ju to register. After all, two people were better than one person, but Zhou Ju stood still and refused to move.
"Are you afraid that you won't be able to get out if you go in? If you don't want to go with me, it's understandable."
"No." Zhou Ju shook her head and said, "Let's not rush to register."
"Why?" Jiang Feng did not understand.
"If we sign up later, we can enter the Impermanence Mountain later. That way, we can avoid the first fight and keep our lives."
"That's true." Jiang Feng patted his head and his eyes lit up. "Let's wait for them to go in and find the jade ring first. Then we can go and intercept them."
