There were still five days left until the Martial Competition of the Three Kingdoms.
The emperor of the Great Xia Empire, Xiao Wudao, announced that the martial arts competition of the Daliang Empire, Great Xia Empire, and Great Xia Empire, which was held once every five years, had officially begun!
For a moment.
The entire Central Continent was in an uproar!
Countless celebrities and elites of the martial world went to the capital with all kinds of thoughts. They wanted to see this top-notch martial arts event of the royal family!
At the same time.
Outside of the Nine Provinces, the dynasties, clans, sects, and holy lands of the other continents, which had little contact with the Central Continent and were separated by thousands of rivers and mountains, were also restless. They seemed to be very interested in this year's Central Continent Banquet!
Of course, the most shocked were the other two of the three titans of Central Continent.
......
Daliang Dynasty, forbidden area of the palace.
On the cliff where the sea of clouds churned.
A handsome young man wearing a black robe with nine dragons was looking at the sea of clouds with his hands behind his back.
At this moment, he stood there proudly without speaking or moving. His entire body exuded a powerful and domineering aura, just like a peerless king who was about to be crowned emperor.
"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, the Princess Consort is here.”A eunuch reported.
"I know, you can leave. This prince wants to discuss some matters with wangfei alone!”
The ninth prince, Wan Zifeng, waved his sleeves.
"Yes, sir!"
Not long after, a beautiful palace woman wearing a phoenix crown and a luxurious robe walked up.
"Princess Consort, Emperor Xia has just sent us an official invitation. He wants us to set off a day earlier and arrive at the imperial palace of Great Xia. He will also specially send a princess to hold a welcome banquet for us to welcome us!”
Wan Zifeng said coldly, his tone seemingly displeased.
The princess smiled gently and said," In the previous Martial Competition of the Three Kingdoms, when each country was the host, they would at most send the Minister of Rites or the Prince to welcome the foreign guests. This time, Emperor Xia sent a princess directly. This kind of reception is already top-notch. Your Highness should be happy, right?”
"No!"
"If the princess personally welcomes me, I'll be happy to!" Wan Zifeng said through gritted teeth. However, Emperor Xia had sent a eunuch to be his deputy! This is an insult to the Daliang Empire! To think that we're still a country related to Great Xia by marriage!”
"Eunuch?"
"Is it Liu Jin from the East Chamber or Jiang Danian from the West Chamber?" Wang Fei frowned.”
"Neither."
Wan Zifeng shook his head." It is said that this person is called Yu Lingchen. He is a young eunuch. Princess Consort, have you heard of him when you were by Emperor Xia's side?"”
"Your Highness must be joking."
"I haven't been back for fifteen years. How would I know these new talents?" Wang Fei smiled bitterly.”
"Fine."
"Since the Xia Emperor is so disrespectful to me, I will definitely dominate the entire arena and completely trample on his dignity as the host of the Grand Xia!”
" Die!" Wan Zifeng roared as his aura exploded to the limit. A monstrous demonic power condensed into a demonic blade that directly slashed a huge hole in the sea of clouds in front of him!
"That's right. I didn't expect Your Highness to have cultivated the Daliang Imperial Family's Free Demon Transformation Technique to the eighth level at such a young age.”
"Putting aside the weakling Great Zhou, I'm afraid that in this Martial Competition of the Three Kingdoms, there will be very few people in the imperial Xia clan who are a match for you, unless it's those four princesses."
Wang Fei sighed and did not continue.
"Unless what? Princess Consort, please speak frankly!" Wan Zifeng stared coldly at his newlywed wife.
"Forget it, we'll know when the time comes.”Wang Fei shook her head.
Wan Zifeng's face revealed a furious expression."Princess Consort, please recognize your identity! Now we are on the same boat! From the moment Emperor Xia was heartless and massacred your clan, you and him had a blood feud. Those four princesses had nothing to do with you anymore!”
"Of course I know that. There's no need for you to remind me.”
Wang Fei raised her eyelids lightly, her phoenix eyes filled with authority."Just as the prince said, we are in a cooperative relationship, so please take note of your attitude. When I helped Emperor Xia pacify the world and change the dynasty, you were still an infant.”
"Hahahaha, you beloved concubine! What arrogance!"
Wan Zifeng's expression turned extremely ugly as he sneered,""Do you want me to call you by your real name?”
"In history, the only Empress of the Great Xia whose entire family was exterminated by the Emperor-Nalan Mingyue!”
"You don't have to provoke me."
"If I could have been influenced by you, I would have died in the Great Xia Imperial Palace 15 years ago.”
"Put away your spirit, young man.”
Nalan Mingyue said," Among my four daughters, Qingxue and Lingqiu are the most talented. If the two of them reach the martial grandmaster realm and learn the Nine Yin Heavenly Demonic Technique of the Xiao family, you might not be a match for them."”
"Humph." Wan Zifeng's face was as dark as water, and he did not reply.
"Don't worry, bengong acting as your wangfei this time only has one goal, to enter the palace, kill that dirty and despicable heartless man, and find the mastermind behind the scenes! Take revenge for my Nalan family! Everything else had to be compromised!”
"Bengong's daughters, if you can't win, Bengong will naturally personally guide them.”
"In addition, if the Ninth Prince is still holding a grudge against the existence of that little eunuch, then this Queen can also kill him for you.”
Nalan Mingyue's phoenix eyes were cold and stern, and she had an imposing manner.
"Fine."
After weighing the pros and cons, Wan Zifeng respectfully said,""I was the one who offended you just now. Please forgive me, Holy Maiden Nalan. I hope that we can cooperate sincerely and turn the Great Xia Kingdom upside down!”
"That's right. This is what the future emperor of Daliang should say.”
Nalan Mingyue nodded in satisfaction and said with interest,"Speaking of which, does the ninth prince like your aunt Wan Zhen 'er that much?”
"So what if I am!"
Wan Zifeng's handsome face turned red." My aunt is a fairy who has descended to the mortal world. Which man in the world doesn't love her?!" This time, I will bring her back to Daliang and marry her! It's useless even if Father objects!"
"Tsk, I didn't expect the Ninth Prince to be so filial.”
Nalan Mingyue chuckled and said," Fifteen years have passed. I wonder how that heartless Xiao Wudao's Nine Suns Dragon Divine Power is progressing. According to my calculations, your aunt should be a virgin."”
"What? Was what the Holy Maiden said true?”
Wan Zifeng's expression instantly changed, and he was ecstatic.""The Xia Emperor, that bastard, really didn't touch my aunt?”
"Even if Emperor Xia didn't touch her, it's inevitable that she's been alone for so many years." Nalan Mingyue said with a smile that was not a smile.
"Holy Maiden, please be careful with your words!"
Wan Zifeng's gaze was sharp." My aunt is a fairy from heaven. She's definitely not someone who covets physical pleasure!"”
......
The Great Zhou Empire.
In the throne room.
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth dressed in imperial robes was lying on a dragon couch, playing with the spiritual bird in the cage. His expression was extremely exaggerated.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The Crown Prince of the Barbarian Race, Harsa, had arrived.”
An old eunuch reported.
"What a blind thing! Halsa is now my adopted son! The authentic Great Zhou Imperial Family is about to take our place in the Martial Competition of the Three Kingdoms!”
The young man waved his hand impatiently." Quick, bring my foster son in."”
After a while.
A dark-skinned, fierce-looking, two-meter-tall, burly man wearing beast fur walked in.
"Halsa greets Imperial Father! May the emperor's father enjoy eternal happiness and longevity!”
Halsa bowed down. Although his words and actions were humble, his entire person revealed a violent aura that dominated the world.
"Tsk tsk, my good foster son is really becoming more and more powerful. Stand up, there's no need to be so polite!”
Ji Xuan was overjoyed. He sized up this tool with satisfaction.""For this Martial Competition of the Three Kingdoms, Emperor Xia's invitation letter has already been delivered. He invited us to arrive at the Grand Xia Imperial Palace a day earlier and even sent the princess to personally welcome us.”
"Princess? Is it the Second Princess Xiao Qingxue?"
Halsa's voice was like a loud bell, like a fierce tiger. Hatred shot out from his long and narrow eyes.
"No, it's their most low-key third princess.”Ji Xuan smacked his lips." From the looks of it, my son really hates that Great Xia's Second Prince to the bone!”
"Naturally! Your son does not want to kill this woman first and then kill her!”
Halsa's eyes were blood-red, and a terrifying demonic aura erupted from his entire body. His muscles bulged, and his beard and hair danced in the air, making him look like an Asura Demon God!
"Son, son, in front of zhen, you should restrain yourself a little. zhen is afraid.”
Ji Xuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said," Don't worry. According to past practices, if both parties agree, a life-and-death battle can be held on the arena. At that time, you can go ahead and provoke Xiao Qingxue. Since Emperor Xia cares so much about his face, he will definitely agree!”
"Yes, your son understands."
Halsa gritted his teeth.
"Tell me about yourself."
"How's your strength now?" Ji Xuan asked.”
"Your son has already entered the realm of great grandmaster! I'm confident that no one will be my match in this Martial Competition of the Three Kingdoms! Your son will definitely become the emperor's father and take the lead to revitalize the prestige of the Great Zhou Dynasty!”
Halsa patted his chest and said.
"What? He's only at the first level of the martial grandmaster realm."
Ji Xuan pursed his lips in disappointment.""As far as I know, excluding the princesses of Great Xia, the ninth prince of Daliang publicly announced that his cultivation is at the third tier of the Great Grandmaster realm.”
"Humph."
Halsa's thick nostrils let out a cold snort."So what if he's at the third level of the great grandmaster realm? Your son's Asura Undying Technique has reached the great success stage. He can even kill Martial Saints below the Third Grade!”
"Eh? Is my son that confident?"
"If that's the case, then how did the Barbarian Race get wiped out by the Second Princess of Xia back then?" Ji Xuan asked doubtfully.”
"This…"
Halsa's expression turned awkward for a moment, and he said,""To be fair, I'm not as good as Xiao Qingxue when it comes to leading troops in battle, but in terms of martial arts, I can destroy this woman with a flick of my hand!”
"How do you prove it?" Ji Xuan narrowed his eyes and continued to tease the bird.
Clang!
Halsa pulled out a broad-bladed bone knife and slashed at his own head!
"What are you doing?"
Ji Xuan was so frightened that he fell off the dragon couch!
However…
In the next second, what made him even more terrified was that
After Halsa's severed head fell to the ground!
The remains of his body that he had left behind actually took a step forward and picked up the head again!
Throughout the entire process, there was not a single trace of blood!
"You, this is a yao art! How can there be such an evil martial art in the human world!"
Ji Xuan was so frightened that his face turned deathly pale. If it wasn't for the fact that Ha Ersa had no intention of stepping forward, he would have shouted for his protector beast!
"Imperial Father, don't be alarmed."
"Ordinary martial artists train their bodies, Qi, and organs, but your son trains his soul! As long as Demon Heart didn't die! They could continue fighting and become stronger as they fought!”
"This is the number one divine technique of the Divine Continent, the Asura Undying Technique!”
Halsa raised his head and stood up, his voice shaking the hall.
"Good! Good! As expected of my adopted son! You should have such boldness!"
" I'll send the Empress to personally accompany you to the Great Xia Dynasty's Martial Arts Competition to cheer for you!" Ji Xuan's surprise turned into joy. In recent decades, the Great Zhou has been despised by the Great Xia and the Great Liang. In the eyes of the Xia and Liang emperors, I, the young emperor of the Great Zhou, am inferior to even a dog!”
"This time, I must hold my head high! I'll let them see the strength of our Great Zhou!”
"Empress? Oh no, is Imperial Mother going too? That's great." Harsa's eyes flashed with an undetectable evil charm.
.....
At the same time.
A million kilometers away, in the imperial palace of Great Xia.
"One white, two black, three green, four green, five yellow, six white, seven red, eight white, nine purple."
"A great ominous sign! This is a f * cking bad omen!"
The youngest and most handsome Governor of the West Military Bureau was sitting cross-legged, muttering something worriedly.
In front of him was a chessboard filled with chess pieces.
This was no ordinary chess game!
This was the Nine Star Chess Game that he had learned from the Spirit Chess Classic, one of the divination books in the Emperor's Scroll of the River Map and the Book of Luo.
This Chessboard of Fate contained the principles of astrology and divination. The placement of the chess pieces corresponded to the layout of the entire palace.
He could deduce the direction of the imperial palace's luck within a certain time dimension.
This thing was very mysterious.
If it was the Yu Lingchen of the past, he definitely wouldn't believe it!
However, the He Tu and Luo Shu were all-inclusive, and the more he studied them, the more interested he became.
Moreover, the more he could feel the vastness of the universe, the shallowness of his body, and the necessity of ascending.
Therefore, on a whim, they set up a game in the courtyard today.
He did not expect such an outcome!
For some reason.
Yu Lingchen suddenly thought of Xiao Yanshuang's words about the " great change in the palace ".
He took out the sachet and fell into deep thought.
"This Xiao Yanshuang secretly became a martial grandmaster in the palace. What does she want?”
"Moreover, when she said those words, her tone was sincere and it didn't sound like nonsense.”
"Forget it, forget it. Who cares?"
"No matter how big a change happens in the palace, it has nothing to do with me.”
"I only need to protect Wan Zhen 'er and Xiao Youwei. As for Sister Qingxue, she has a large army in her hands, so it's not my turn to protect her.”
Yu Lingchen cut off his distracting thoughts and put away the chessboard.
"Chief Rain! His Majesty had just issued an edict ordering all the " military officials " of the third rank and above to go to the Martial Arts Lecture Hall of the Clan Affairs Council to observe the competition of the imperial family! The final three participants were decided!”
His subordinate, Little Shuanzi, came in to report.
"Oh, I know."
Yu Lingchen responded.
He knew very well.
There were still four days left before the various forces would gather at the imperial palace of Grand Xia.
Other than the imperial martial arts representatives from the Daliang Empire and the Great Zhou Empire, there were also some famous martial artists and sect representatives in the martial arts world.
It was even said that outside of Central Continent, forces from the south of the vast sea and other continents had come to visit.
It could be said that this was the most magnificent event in the past hundred years!
Although he had confidence in his daughters, the Xia Emperor couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Moreover, among the five participants, only the eldest princess Xiao Lingqiu and the second princess Xiao Qingxue were confirmed.
There are still three vacancies.
Presumably, they wanted the officials to choose the remaining candidates.
"But I'm not interested in your family affairs!”
Yu Lingchen shook his head and changed into the royal robe.
......
In the western suburbs of the Imperial Palace, in the Sect Affairs Department.
Military Academy.
"Greetings, Rain Governor!"
"Lord Yu, please do the spiciness!"
"The Rain Scholar looks even more imposing today!”
"Eunuch Yu, if you have the time, come to the residence to drink tea!”
......
At this moment, the Xia Emperor and the Xiao clan elders had yet to arrive.
Yu Lingchen walked into the hall and was immediately greeted by all sorts of friendly greetings from the ministers, making him feel rather uncomfortable.
The main thing was that the news of him defeating Liu Jin and massacring the East Hall had already spread throughout the court.
It was not easy to be an invisible servant like before.
He had just found an inconspicuous spot to sit down.
Suddenly, a sweet voice sounded,"
"Little Chen smack!"
He turned around.
A beautiful girl with two ponytails and wearing a palace dress ran over with a smile like a flower.
The moment she saw this face, her mood improved.
Yu Lingchen unconsciously spread his arms.
Pow!
The soft fragrance entered his arms.
"Eh? Twin ponytails? Why did You Wei-chan think of this today?”
Yu Lingchen held the girl's ponytail.
In an instant, there was a feeling
It was a strange feeling of being able to drive freely.
"Little Chen, where have you been these past two days? I didn't even see you! Meow Meow and I missed you so much!"
Xiao Youwei pouted.
"The East Military Hall was destroyed, and the West Military Hall merged many of its previous affairs.”Yu Lingchen sighed.
"Oh, oh, I really want to hear you tell the story of the Romance of the Eight Kingdoms again! The last time he talked about Zhao Zilong killing enemies at Changban Slope, it was gone!”Xiao Youwei held his arm.
A pair of slender legs was placed on the latter's knees.
"Alright, alright, alright. I'll explain."
Yu Lingchen kept an eye on Xiao Qingxue's movements as he said casually,"
" Zhao Zilong was wearing a silver spear and silver armor. On the slope of Changban Mountain, he was dodging left and right as if he was in a no-man's land."
He had just gotten into the zone.
Suddenly, a gentle and beautiful figure walked over.
It was the Third Princess, Xiao Yanshuang, who had confessed to him that night in the city square!
"Lord Yu." Xiao Yanshuang curtsied her body, as gentle as ever.
"Ah, Third Sister, you're here!"
Xiao Youwei patted the seat beside her excitedly."Hurry up! Come sit here, my Little Chen's Romance of the Eight Kingdoms story is wonderful!”
" Ahem, it's Romance of the Three Kingdoms." Yu Lingchen could not help but correct him.
He raised his head and looked at Xiao Yanshuang awkwardly.
"In three days, the Great Zhou and Daliang troops will enter the palace. I heard that the Emperor of Great Zhou has sent the Empress personally as an envoy. I hope that Lord Yu will take care of the welcome party at Dachang Temple.”
Xiao Yanshuang smiled.
"Sure, sure."
Yu Lingchen laughed and suddenly remembered something. He asked,""Third princess, may I trouble you to ask what the use of the fragrance pouch you gave me that day is?”
Hearing this, Xiao Yanshuang's gentle and calm face changed.
Xiao Youwei asked curiously,""What? Third Sister, did you give Little Chen something?"
"Yes."
"A few days ago, I met Lord Yu and gave him a sachet that I asked for in the temple in the capital." Xiao Yanshuang said calmly.”
"Exactly."
Yu Lingchen agreed and asked,""So, the use of the sachet is..."
Xiao Yanshuang's eyes sparkled for a second before she replied,""According to the eminent monks in the temple, this thing can suppress ghosts and exorcise demons, and recover ghosts!”
"So magical?" Yu Lingchen pretended to be surprised.
"Yes."
Xiao Yanshuang nodded and added,""That's why I hope that Lady Yu can always bring it along, especially during the Martial Competition of the Three Kingdoms. Perhaps you'll be safe!”
"Thank you again for your kindness, Third Prince.”
"So, what's the name of this thing?" Yu Lingchen thought.”
"There's no name. It's just a fragrance pouch.”Xiao Yanshuang said.
"Fine, since this sachet can subdue Yin souls, we'll call it a Yin sachet!”Yu Lingchen said seriously.
"Ah, anything is fine." Xiao Yanshuang smiled awkwardly.
"Me too! Third Sister! I want this vulva too!" Xiao Youwei was immediately unhappy.
At this moment.
A cold voice was heard,"
"Rain Governor, it seems that you get along well with my two younger sisters. You do have some ability.”
Yu Lingchen could immediately guess who it was.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Yu Lingchen turned around and looked at that beautiful, icy face. He just wanted to slap her.
This kind of Sima face was too beautiful and annoying!
"Greetings, sister." Xiao Yanshuang also bowed.
" Big Sister." Xiao Youwei had always been afraid of this big sister, so she did not dare to be naughty with Yu Lingchen.
Xiao Lingqiu walked up to Yu Lingchen and said word by word,"It's been two months since bengong spoke to you for the first time. Have you thought about the matter I asked you to think about? Hmm?"
