At this moment, in a square behind Taiji Palace in Longjing Imperial City.
A huge staircase is standing here.
This staircase, entirely made of blue-white marble, stretches endlessly to the sky.
If any master of martial arts sees this staircase, he can't help but feel a sense of awe from the bottom of his heart.
Because of this staircase, the aura is too vast and complex.
There is majesty, mistiness, silence and indifference, and even though time changes and seas wither and rocks rot, I am still independent and majestic.
And this staircase is the legendary ladder to heaven in the Shenlong Dynasty!
It is said that as long as you pass this staircase, you can truly meet the envoy of the Immortal Sect and receive the envoy's reward.
However, in the Shenlong Dynasty, only core members of the royal family could ascend this ladder, and they had to burn incense, bathe, fast for seven days, and obtain permission from the Immortal Sect.
Therefore, this place is also a forbidden area in the imperial city. Anyone who approaches easily will be killed on the spot even if he is a first-class official!
At this moment, a young figure wearing white clothes and holding a folding fan was slowly walking on the ladder.
His steps were casual and his expression was casual.
But when his eyes looked at the clouds below, they looked a little misty.
"Mortals are like ants."
He muttered to himself, but soon the young man put away the emotion in his eyes, and a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.
"That's why you have to ascend to immortality."
After saying this again, the young man stopped looking at the clouds below and began to speed up.
If Zhao Zhen were here, he would be able to recognize this young man at a glance. It is none other than Chang Gongzi, Chang Hua, who has an excellent reputation in Longjing.
As Mr. Chang quickened his pace, he soon stepped over the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps and arrived at a towering palace complex.
Looking at the magnificent palaces around him, Mr. Chang took a deep breath, then turned his body again and walked towards the palace in a corner.
After walking another seven hundred and seventy-seven steps, he finally came to a palace that was completely blue and looked like the blue sea.
As soon as he arrived here, he looked solemn, clasped his fists and bent down, bowing respectfully.
But in the square in front of the main hall, there was a young man sitting at the stone table.
This young man, wearing a blue gown, has handsome eyebrows and a peaceful temperament.
At the same time, he was looking at a chessboard on the stone table with a smile on his face.
Changhua didn't say anything, and still maintained his saluting posture, as if waiting for something.
After a while, the young man suddenly fell down.
Suddenly, the originally jangled situation on the chessboard changed. The black chessmen joined together and killed the white dragon in an instant.
"Hahaha... Okay, I thought about it for three days and finally solved this situation."
Hearty laughter came out, and this made Changnian, who was saluting, feel relieved and relaxed all over.
"Haha, Changhua, come and sit."
At this time, the young man in blue shirt looked at Changhua, smiled and waved.
"Thank you, senior brother."
Changhua bowed again, walked to the young man in blue shirt, and stood beside him, but did not sit down.
The young man in blue shirt looked at it and smiled again, but he didn't force it. He just said, "Junior brother Chang, I know you usually don't come to my place, but you came this time. Is there anything that makes you feel troublesome?" ?”
"Indeed."
Changhua nodded respectfully, "Brother Xiao, according to the information I received, Yun Huanghuo, the young master of the Fire Cloud Sect, and He Sheng, the young master of the Jujian Villa, have both come to Longjing."
"Well, I'm not surprised."
The young man smiled lightly, "Longjun Hall was established by Senior Brother Yun, and Senior Brother Yun either doesn't do it, or does it in a shocking way, and is invincible to those who stand in his way, so it's normal for these two people to come. They don't dare not to come. .”
"Senior Brother Xiao is right, so I'm just reporting."
Changhua nodded, "What I really want to say is that there were two people, a man and a woman, whom I met in Dasheng Building."
"Dasheng Restaurant? Haha, Junior Brother Chang, you really like to go there. There are obviously better restaurants in Longjing, but you always go there every time you drink. Why, could it be that you have fallen in love with that young man? Landlord?"
The young man said with a smile, which made Changhua look embarrassed, but he quickly nodded again, "Yes, junior brother has this intention, but..."
"but?"
The young man raised his eyebrows, and the next moment he nodded again with a smile, "I understand, but Luohua is intentional, and flowing water is ruthless, right? That's easy to handle. I will arrange for him to be a disciple of the Immortal Sect when I go back. I believe Junior Brother Chang can hold him The beauty has returned."
"Thank you so much, senior brother!"
Hearing this, Changhua quickly clasped his fists and bent over, looking at the young man gratefully.
"No thanks, it's between you and me, so it's superfluous to say this."
The young man smiled and waved his hand, "But junior brother, I have to remind you that although the love between a man and a woman is wonderful, it must be done in moderation, otherwise it will corrode the will. As the old saying goes, gentle country is the place where love is gentle. The Tomb of Heroes, so junior brother, please don’t become a person in the tomb.”
Chang Hua's eyes were solemn, and he nodded immediately, "Senior brother, don't worry, junior brother understands. In the final analysis, junior brother is just trying to relieve his loneliness."
"Um."
The young man nodded and didn't say anything more about this matter. He changed the subject and asked, "What's so special about those young men and women?"
"This has to start with Yao Tianming. Yesterday at noon, Yao Tianming took people to Dasheng Tower to show off their power, but they met a young man and woman. The young man among them directly ruined Yao Tianming's cultivation."
"Oh?" The young man was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "This surprises me. I know Yao Tianming. He is arrogant and arrogant. He never suffers losses on weekdays. But this time he actually suffered such a big setback? General Yao I'm afraid you will avenge him immediately, and the landlord you like will probably not let that young man leave like this."
"Senior brother, he knew what was going on. Yes, the moment it happened, Master Liu had already come forward, and Yao Yundong also took people there, but the result was that Master Liu had one of his hands cut off, and General Yao was seriously injured, so he could only take the Everyone left, including me, with some injuries.”
After saying that, Changhua pointed to his chest, and the young man immediately looked over, and his eyes soon brightened.
"The sword energy is so good that it can actually penetrate into your body. It seems that this young man is very powerful. His combat power has at least reached the peak of martial arts. I wonder which genius in Longjing he is?"
"He does not belong to any family in Longjing."
Changhua shook his head, "And he is only second. The most important thing is the girl who came with him. That girl is the real terrifying existence. From my observation, this girl's strength is at least the peak of Wutian. "
"Really? Peak of Wutian? Still a girl?"
The young man was stunned again, and surprise flashed in his eyes, "Then this is really awesome. I wonder who they are?"
"This is why junior brother feels that he must report it to senior brother."
Changhua said solemnly, "We can't investigate this girl. Even if I use all our connections, we still can't."
Hearing this, the surprise in the young man's eyes became more intense, "I have used all my connections to investigate and still can't find out? Isn't that wrong? With the power you have now, you can find out where a dog or a cat comes from. , let alone people?”
"But that's the result."
Changhua smiled bitterly and said, "But, we have some clues about that boy's whereabouts, and his background is not small."
"Really? Who is he?"
"Based on his whereabouts, combined with his strength, age, and the time he arrived here, we initially judge that he should be the last sect leader of the Qingyun Sect, Zhao Zhen."
Changhua said, "Although his face is different from Zhao Zhen, we believe that he should have used some kind of disguise method."
"Zhao Zhen?"
The young man's eyes flashed, "This is a talented person. Faced with Zhou Jingshen's oppression, he actually refused to retreat even half a step. He has bones and integrity. The most important thing is that he has amazing talent. At the second level of martial arts, he can explode as high as martial arts." I have always wanted to see him with his peak spiritual strength, but I didn’t expect him to come now.”
"Indeed, I didn't expect him to come now. You know, he was designated as a rebel by Zhou Jingshen and a wanted criminal with a reward on his head. I don't know how he dared to come."
"Haha, this kind of talent cannot be measured by common sense."
The young man smiled and his eyes flashed quickly, "Is there anything else special about him?"
"Yes, that is his true background."
Changhua's eyes became solemn, "The moment we concluded that he was Zhao Zhen, we continued to dig deeper into his origins, and the conclusion we came to was shocking. He was actually a descendant of the Zhao family in Cangzhou City, and his father, named Zhao Xuan."
"Zhao Xuan?"
The young man's smile finally faded, and a light flashed in his eyes.
"That person's son?"
"Yes, he is that son." Changhua said solemnly.
The young man fell silent.
After a long time, the young man smiled faintly and said, "Haha, this is really interesting. That man's son actually became the last sect leader of Qingyun Sect, and also formed such a big feud with Zhou Jingshen. It's really unpredictable. Nature plays tricks on people, if the world is like a game of chess, then he is definitely the variable in this big game."
"So, senior brother, how do you plan to deal with this variable?"
Changhua said seriously.
"How to deal with it?"
The young man muttered and started thinking again.
But he soon smiled and said, "Don't deal with it much, just take a look first. Changes are coming, and it's better to be still than to move, so let's take a look at the situation before talking."
"I see."
Changhua nodded immediately, then saluted again and slowly retreated.
As Changhua retreated, the young man standing there looked at the chessboard on the stone table again.
"Variables are coming, so it seems that I have to play this game again..."
As for the discussion about himself in the Immortal Palace, Zhao Zhen knew nothing about it at this time.
At this moment, Zhao Zhen had already driven his carriage and truly entered Longjing.
Compared with the gathering points for merchants outside Longjing, the area inside Longjing is indeed more prosperous.
There are people everywhere, tall buildings and shops everywhere.
The most important thing is that the people walking here are basically in the martial arts realm, and there are quite a few in the martial arts realm.
