When the sky darkened completely and the pitch-black night fell, the preliminary competition in the seven arenas finally came to an end.
Among the seven champions, there are two from the Holy Spirit Sect, two from the Blood God Sect, and only one from the White Jade Sect...
There is one person in the remaining demon sect, but it is actually Ma Guangming who was released by Zhao Chen.
Finally, there is Zhao Chen, who is clearly valued by the empress.
"...Zhao Chen and seven others will compete with nine grandmasters in front of the imperial mausoleum for ranking in three days' time..."
After hearing the court officials presiding over the competition announce the arrangements for the subsequent competition, Zhao Chen faintly noticed that the seven arenas seemed to have some inexplicable connection with the stars in the night.
Even the feeling this cave gave him had changed slightly.
Zhao Chen subconsciously looked at the people around him, but did not find anything strange on the faces of many masters. Only Lu Linqi's sister Baoguan looked around uneasily.
"Didn't they feel it?" Zhao Chen frowned, "Besides, there is no sun and moon in the cave sky, so what are the stars that people see?"
Although he was confused, it was obvious that no one would give him the answer on this occasion, so Zhao Chen didn't get too entangled and left directly after attending the dinner organized by the court.
Anyway, to this cave world, he is just a passerby.
Apart from the mission, only "Yunxiao Golden Crow Crown" deserves his attention.
If it weren't for the fact that there might be a "Dong Xuan" real person hidden in this cave, the variables are too great, and it is impossible to predict what actions the Empress Dowager will take after the ceremony fails to meet expectations, Zhao Chen would have wanted to lie down until the martial arts competition was over in three days and leave directly. People.
Of course, since it is a serial mission, you may come here again next time. The more information you collect, the more beneficial it will be for the next mission.
While his thoughts were spinning, Zhao Chen had already relied on the temporarily summoned "Tang Miao" to get rid of the "tail" staring at him, and then walked around the east side of the city for a few times before entering a private house.
And a woman wearing a simple white dress was already waiting here.
She had black hair in a bun, picturesque features, and a cold temperament, but when she saw Zhao Chen, she showed an unflattering smile...
She is none other than the Saint Kong Lin of the Holy Spirit Sect.
"This time I laughed three-quarters of the time... I still need to keep working hard." Zhao Chen said after examining her face.
Kong Lin nodded thoughtfully, then bowed to the ground and responded respectfully: "Yes, Mr. Chen!"
"There's no need to give such a big gift... I'm looking for you this time because I have a task assigned to you." Zhao Chenxu helped her and then asked, "Do you know the 'White Jade Diamond' Shi Xiao?"
Kong Lin stood up, nodded and said, "I know."
"There seems to be something abnormal in his soul. I need you to explore his secrets and report back to me." Zhao Chen ordered lightly.
"Yes, Mr. Chen." Kong Lin agreed without thinking, without even considering that she might also be in danger.
Seeing this, Zhao Chen had to guide: "Don't enter his dream easily...and he is a disciple of the White Jade Sect. You should think more carefully about what you do, and use strength if you can."
Kong Lin looked at him steadily, her eyes full of confusion.
This saint has always acted on the orders of others and has rarely made any decisions of her own.
Zhao Chen sighed and continued: "It's very simple... didn't Li Yushi ask me to regularly report the tasks given by the Empress before?
"Just tell him that I was ordered to investigate Shi Xiao, and there may be a huge secret hidden in him."
…
Kyoto, in the luxurious residence of the Holy Spirit Sect.
Sect Master Li Yushi was still wearing the black fire-patterned robe. He patted the shoulders of the two disciples in front of him and said with a smile:
"You managed to get two places in the finals, which is great!"
These two disciples are "Yin Luo Banner" Deng Yu and "Xuan Yin Sword" Cheng Li. They are both masters of the ninth level of magic power and have a lot of treasures on them. It is entirely possible to force a grandmaster to have to surrender to "Heaven and Earth" Borrow strength.
"It's all cultivated by the sect master." Deng Yu and Cheng Li replied quite modestly.
The good-looking Li Yushi nodded slightly: "You can go to the Wanbao Pavilion of the sect and choose two magic weapons each. When the finals are held three days later, don't hold back when you meet the masters of other sects, and try to force out their trump cards... ...And if you encounter me and the Saint, you will just admit defeat, do you understand?"
"My subordinates understand." The two said in unison.
Li Yushi originally wanted to say a few more words of encouragement, but his expression suddenly changed and he dismissed the two of them hastily. Then he looked at the corner of the room and said, "Since the saint is here, please show up."
…
Outside the city, in the manor belonging to Mingjiao.
"Left Dharma King" Yan Shun looked at "Right Dharma King" Yin Zimo who was drinking tea in disbelief, and said in surprise: "You want me to admit defeat if I meet Zhao Chen and Tang Miao in three days?
"Are you crazy? Let's just give it up to Tang Miao. It is said that she is a new star you trained, so you can give her some support...
"But what does Zhao Chen have to do with us? Even if I never expected to get the opportunity of being a grandmaster in the royal family, I would not give him any advantage.
"Don't forget, he is probably the empress's man!"
Yin Zimo just said seriously: "I'm sure that Zhao Chen is the Star Master."
"'Star Lord comes to earth, my teaching will be popular'? That is just a prophecy, and it is not something that will definitely happen. Don't get too obsessed with it." Yan Shun still shook his head.
He already knew that Yin Zimo was planning to hold a "Lighting Conference" to promote Zhao Chen to the top... But in Yan Shun's eyes, this was quite funny.
Why should the sect that he and others worked so hard to build be given away? Not to mention an illusory "Star Lord", he doesn't even want a leader who holds the opportunity to become a master.
The two soon had a big quarrel and broke up.
But just when Yan Shun returned to the courtyard where he lived with anger, he suddenly found that the scene around him suddenly changed.
Not only has the dilapidated courtyard turned into a winding corridor, but there is also a silver-white "huge" star in the night sky.
The young man who was at the center of the argument was now standing on the railing, holding a wine glass and looking at him with a smile.
"Oops, I'm trapped in the formation!" Yan Shun was shocked, and immediately condensed a dozen fireballs around him, and all of them hit the young man.
But these attacks suddenly disappeared when they approached the boy!
Raising glasses to the bright moon, facing each other as three people... In this situation, it would be even better if we could have a night meeting with a beautiful girl like Fei Meng! It's a pity that he is a bad old man who plays with fire... After Zhao Chen complained in his heart, he looked at Yan Shun with a smile:
"King Zuo, I want to play a game with you!"
At the same time, the extremely gorgeous "Sixteen Venus Libra Sword" emerged above the two of them.
