Emperor Jiuyin

Three days passed by in a hurry.

The early sun was rising. After Li Hanxue came out of Xingyun Inn, he walked towards the place agreed on that day.

When Li Hanxue arrived, she found that Hong Yang and Yuan Lingtong had been waiting there for a long time.

"Brother Li, let's go."

Under the leadership of Hong Yang, the three of them entered the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord's Mansion was built magnificently. As soon as they stepped into the City Lord's Mansion, what they saw was a huge square with a wide area. The square was paved with unknown black stones and surrounded by The three-foot-high stone pillars formed a circle around the square, and each stone pillar could accommodate ten people walking side by side. If Li Hanxue hadn't stayed in the Tianfu in the inner courtyard all year round and was used to seeing tall buildings, he would probably have been shocked by the magnificence of the City Lord's Mansion.

Yuan Lingtong on the side had already fallen into a daze. Standing in this square, he was as small as an ant.

At this time, a group of people gathered around the square, either carrying swords or holding their hands on their chests. They were all wearing fancy clothes and had extraordinary skills.

At a glance, there were at least twenty people in this group. These twenty people were talking among themselves. When they saw Hong Yang, Li Hanxue, and Yuan Lingtong arriving, they suddenly fell into silence.

Their eyes were all fixed on Hong Yang: "Isn't that one of the four guards of the Nanling City Lord?"

"Yes, I remember this person. This person's surname is Hong, with a single Chinese character. He is extremely powerful in martial arts. A year ago, he challenged Zhu Tiejun, who was second among the four guards at the time, as a guard, and won in a battle. From then on, he became the leader of Nannan. There is a legend in Lingcheng that all the guards respect him very much. There are even rumors that he had a conflict with Zhao He, the number one among the four guards, and they also fought against each other. "

"How's the battle going?"

"The situation of the battle is unknown, but since then, Zhao He seems to be a lot more polite to Hong Yang. According to my guess, his combat power is by no means inferior to Zhao He."

"This is not good. Such a master comes to participate in the qualifying competition to recruit warriors. It is a disaster rather than a blessing for us."

Hong Yang's arrival put great pressure on them, but Yuan Lingtong was simply ignored by them. She was as talented as a martial artist and would not be taken lightly by others. Li Hanxue was also ignored by others, because the aura on his body was too weak, and it was impossible for people to feel that this person was a master.

When everyone was feeling uneasy, suddenly a young man came over laughing. This man had a small face, big eyes, tight skin, and long and sparse hair, giving people a feeling that he would not live long.

The young man smiled and said: "Wei Hong is so powerful that it is natural to win his place. If you are distracted because of Wei Hong alone and are unable to show your true strength, the next assessment will be in trouble."

"Zhao He!" Everyone recognized this young man at a glance. This young man was Zhao He, the first guard beside the Lord of Nanling City.

"Guard Zhao, do you have any advice?"

"I'm not talking about teaching, I'm just giving everyone a reminder. This assessment is not just for our masters from the Nanling City area, there will also be outsiders participating." Zhao He said with a somewhat heavy tone.

"What? There are outsiders participating! When did our Nanling City have such rules? Why are outsiders allowed to participate!" Some people began to be dissatisfied.

"This is too ridiculous. Almost all outsiders are troublemakers. They will bring trouble to our people in Nanling City every time. Linyuan Village was the best example decades ago. After experiencing such bloody lessons, Why does the city lord allow outsiders to participate in the qualifying competition? "

"Yes, outsiders are absolutely not allowed to participate." The crowd began to get angry.

Zhao He waved his hand: "This is not something we can decide. The Palace Master personally ordered that outsiders are allowed to participate. If you are dissatisfied, you can ask the Palace Master."

"Don't dare!" Everyone lowered their heads in unison.

Li Hanxue was shocked. Just this detail confirmed the status of Lord Wuding in the hearts of warriors.

"It seems that the aborigines here really respect Lord Wuding as a god. I really don't know what kind of person he is."

Zhao He immediately walked over to Hong Yang and started chatting with Hong Yang. Although the two are colleagues, they are also secretly competing with each other.

"Hong Weiwei, I knew you would definitely come to participate in this qualifying tournament." Zhao He said.

"Isn't it the same for Guard Zhao?" Hong Yang said.

The two looked at each other and burst out laughing. Then Zhao He stopped laughing, glanced at Li Hanxue and Yuan Lingtong and said, "Who are these two?"

Hong Yang smiled and pointed at Yuan Lingtong and said: "My childhood sweetheart, Yuan Lingtong. This brother Li, Li Shiba, is a friend I met by chance."

"I see." Zhao He just glanced at the two of them and then looked away. Although there was no contempt on his face, he didn't take the two of them seriously in his heart. Zhao He has been a guard for a long time, and Zhao He doesn't care about those who have neither strength nor power at all. Yuan Lingtong has a simple figure and a bare face. In Zhao He's eyes, she is old-fashioned. Although such a girl has some beauty, she is just a bumpkin and not worth mentioning. Although Li Hanxue has a handsome face, other than that, he is just like ordinary people. There is nothing outstanding about him, because Zhao He will not pay attention to Li Hanxue.

After Li Hanxue glanced at Zhao He, she smiled but didn't say anything.

Hong Yang said: "Presumably Guard Zhao is 100% sure to win this assessment, right?"

Zhao He smiled and said, "Where are you talking? Hong Weiwei doesn't dare to say that he will pass, so how can I dare to say such nonsense?"

"Guard Zhao is too modest."

"It's not too modest." Zhao He's face became a little solemn, "Because outsiders are involved this time, the situation will become complicated and confusing. According to the order issued by the city lord, only eleven people are allowed to form a team to enter the Devil's Crying Abyss. Three The seniors who entered the Demon Crying Abyss years ago are very likely to participate in this qualifying competition. With our strength, it is difficult to compete with them. They alone took up six and eleven places at once. After eliminating six, there are only five spots left for us to compete with those powerful outsiders. I think Hong Weiwei should understand that I am not joking. The situation this time is really serious."

Upon hearing this, Hong Yang's face became solemn. After taking a look at Li Hanxue, he turned his gaze back.

At this time, everyone gathered around and became anxious after hearing Zhao He's remarks.

"What? There are only five places? Are you kidding? What the hell are we going to do? Guard Zhao and you four guards have already contracted four places, so what chance do we have?"

"This is reasonable. Only eleven places are given, which is too harsh. We all want to do our part for Nanling City and go to the Devil's Crying Abyss to save lives and heal the wounded. The seniors who entered the Devil's Crying Abyss before plus the four of you The big guard has already taken up ten places, leaving one for us. Isn’t this deliberately denying people a way to survive? "

Zhao He comforted him: "Everyone, please be patient. As long as you have extraordinary cultivation, you will definitely have the opportunity to go to the Devil's Crying Abyss. You are not just competing with our four guards for places. Have you forgotten? ? Outsiders are your main opponents, and they are also our opponents. I am not afraid of destroying my own prestige. To be honest, if I face outsiders, I have no confidence that some of them are abnormally strong. Even those who have entered the Demonic Crying Abyss may not be opponents."

Everyone gasped: "Is this true?"

Zhao He nodded and said, "It can't be fake."

"In other words, if they are allowed to participate in the qualifying round, not only will we not be able to eat meat, we will not even be able to drink soup."

Zhao He said: "That's it, so we can accept whoever this quota falls into, because they are all from our Nanling City, but it must not fall into the hands of outsiders."

Some people thought further and exclaimed: "If outsiders are allowed to win the first place, wouldn't we have to succumb to outsiders and obey their orders? This kind of thing must not be allowed to happen!"

“Unite and resist outsiders.”

"Unite and resist outsiders!"

…

Everyone's emotions became inexplicably high and they shouted in unison.

Upon hearing this, Hong Yang showed a smile, pointed at Li Hanxue and said: "Actually, there is no need for us to resist outsiders like this. To be honest, the brother Li next to me is actually an outsider."
