On the left side of the red-faced old man, there is a handsome young man with silkworm eyebrows, red and phoenix eyes, and a fair complexion. He looks like a beauty, and dressed in white, he looks like a fairy.
If this person wears women's clothes and does not need to draw eyebrows, she will look like a great beauty.
After he sat down, he glanced at Zhou Tianzong's camp intentionally or unintentionally. Although it was only for a moment, if anyone followed his gaze, they would see that the gaze fell directly on the masked woman.
The person sitting on the right hand of the red-faced old man is a white-haired master with an unusual appearance. He is dressed in a green robe and has a penetrating gaze. He looks like an immortal.
Sitting next to him, Zhou Yang knew that it was Fudo Zhenren, the deputy sect leader of Zhou Tianzong and the deputy city lord of Dingbeicheng.
On both sides of these people, there were a few whom Zhou Yang also knew, including Master Hongguang of Hongti Temple in Bai Zongshan, Fairy Yinqing of Yinshu Sect, and Mo Feitian, the leader of Wuwei Sword Sect.
The other two were a middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe and an old woman with white hair.
The next nine people all had extraordinary identities, otherwise they would not have dared to fly over in public, ignoring others.
Although Zhou Yang didn't recognize the three people in the middle of the front row, he knew that they must be Jin Dan.
Since there are only four golden elixir masters in Beicheng, apart from Fudou Zhenren, the identities of the other three are already clear.
The red-faced old man sitting in the middle should be the famous master of Zhou Tian Sect, city lord of Dingbei City, and master of the middle stage of Jindan, Tiansha Zhenren Hai Tianxiao.
The two people, one on the left and one on the right, are the master of the Taiqing Sect, Master Chen Mie, and the great shopkeeper of Dashun Trading Company, Master Jibao.
It is said that Master Chen Mi of the Taiqing Sect has an extremely young appearance and is a famous handsome man in the three cities of Dingbei. He has captured the hearts of many female cultivators.
However, in the past hundred years, the Taiqing Sect has become notorious in the ten cities in the far north. Nowadays, the female cultivators' expressions change when they talk about Taiqing, and they are as afraid of it as snakes and scorpions.
Based on this alone, it is not difficult for people to guess who the real person is.
Then that strange-looking white-haired old man is Zhenren Jibao.
At this time, Master Fudo stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, on the occasion of the city's triennial competition, the leaders of the three major sects in Dingbei and five distinguished guests from Baizong Mountain are here, as well as I, the major sects in Dingbei. The heads of sects and various families are also present here. It can be said that this event is unprecedented and has not been seen in years.
Today, as entrusted by the city lord, I am here to announce a few things.
First, the three sects will discuss together to rebuild the city's main palace from now on. The location of the palace will be five miles south of the Bidou Square. The preparations for the construction will be completed by the three sects. On the day when the City Lord's Mansion is completed, a celebration will be held, and the specific details of the celebration will be arranged separately. "
As soon as this statement came out, the heads of the families on the viewing platform looked surprised and started talking one after another.
These people had no prior knowledge of this and were shocked when they first heard about it.
Immortal Fudo paused, and then said: "Secondly, after the City Lord's Mansion is completed, the heads of various sects and aristocratic families in Dingbei must go to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss matters at the beginning of every month and must not be absent.
If there are special circumstances, they must be reported in advance. In case of major events, the city lord has the right to summon everyone present to discuss matters at any time.
Thirdly, personally appointed by the Lord of Hai City, Master Chen Mi of the Taiqing Sect, Master Jibao of the Dashun Trading Company, and I are all deputy city lords of Dingbei City.
Qiu Yiming, the elder of Zhou Tianzong, is the general manager of inspections in Dingbeicheng. Ke Wuduan, the deputy head of the Taiqing Sect, and Wei Wujing, the trade director of Dashun Commercial Bank, are the deputy general managers of inspections.
Below the general manager, there are nine patrol deacons and thirty-six patrol captains, each of whom are composed of cultivators above the middle stage of Tianyuan from the three sects.
The patrol team is responsible for the order of the entire city and takes heavy action to rectify the chaos in some urban areas. All Dingbei residents must obey the control of the patrol team.
Fourth, the entire city formed a four-gate city guard to protect Dingbei. The city lord's palace is responsible for the recruitment of the city guard. All parties cooperate, and the city lord's palace will bear the needs of the city guard.
Fifth, the spiritual stones collected from entering the city, preserving them, transporting them, taxing them, etc. will be drawn out twice out of ten and handed over to the city lord's palace to finance the expenses of protecting the city and building an army.
Sixth, after City Lord Hai negotiated and fought with the various factions in Bai Zong Mountain, the number of people in the secret realm was increased from thirty to sixty. All the top fifty in the Lingtai realm can enter, and the other ten will be nominated by the leaders of the three factions.
Also, now that I have determined that the north and south are one body without distinguishing each other, therefore in this competition, no more killings will be allowed except under extraordinary circumstances. Okay, now Qiu Yiming, the inspection chief of Dingbeicheng and the great elder of Zhou Tianzong, will announce the rules of the competition. "
Finally, Fudo Master gave the right to speak to Qiu Yiming.
The city lord's palace has not yet been built, but Qiu Yiming, the inspection chief, has already taken office.
Zhou Yang had always felt that Fudo was dull and not good at words, but when he saw him today, his previous impression was overturned.
It's not that people don't speak, it's that they don't bother to speak, and they don't bother to speak until the critical moment.
After listening to what Master Fudo said, Zhou Yang nodded his head.
In his opinion, the unification of the whole city is still very beneficial. At least it can rectify the chaos in Dingbei City and completely change the situation where Dingbei is prosperous during the day and bloody streets at night.
Perhaps the dark Dingbeicheng in Chongjiu's eyes will change greatly in the future.
At this time, there was a lot of discussion on and off the stage. Apart from the city lord's palace commanding the whole city, a large number of people had never heard of any secret realm or any quotas.
Zhou Yang was also confused. He asked around, but no one was clear.
Could it be that this matter in the secret realm was the opportunity that Ye Chongshan mentioned?
At this time, it was not convenient for him to ask the elders, so he could only talk about it later. However, as long as you get into the top 50, you can enter the secret realm. As for whether there is a chance, you will have to find out in person.
It seems that I have to fight for it.
After the discussion subsided, Qiu Yiming said loudly: "The rules of this competition are different from those in the past. The Lingtai realm disciples will compete first, and each disciple will be given a jade plaque. This jade plaque not only indicates his identity, but also As a token for judging the ranking, do not lose it.
Now there are ten arenas set up in the infield. All Lingtai realm disciples participating in the competition can go up to the arena to defend the arena. As long as they can defend the arena for five hours, or those who are still standing on the stage after five hours, they can enter the top ten. The specific ranking will be decided the next day. Competitions in Tianyuan Realm and Kaiyuan Realm will be conducted according to these rules.
After taking the stage, if you feel that you are not strong enough, you can take the initiative to admit defeat. Once there is a battle, unless both parties agree, victory or defeat will only be determined by fighting. If the top ten have not been determined after five hours, then the number of jade medals won will be calculated and the ranking on the second day of the competition will also be based on this. "
Qiu Yiming said it more euphemistically, but if a fight really breaks out, how can the stronger side agree to stop and win the other side's jade medal, so the defeated side can only wish for happiness.
As soon as Qiu Yiming finished speaking, there was another heated discussion on and off the stage.
"Why has it changed? The competition between Tianyuan and Kaiyuan Realm no longer involves a knockout round!"
"Isn't that right? This year's competition is a bit interesting. If you don't have real skills, you won't be able to hold the ring."
"I can't go first. I don't say whether I can win or not. Even if I can win, I will be exhausted!"
"Then there has to be someone who gets there first, otherwise this fight is over!"
"Whoever falls in love will fall in love with you. Anyway, I won't fall in love first."
"The rules don't say no rest. If you feel tired, you can come down first, and then go up after you've rested enough."
"That's right!"
"Actually, there are benefits to comparing like this. In the past, if you lost to him in the knockout rounds, you may not be able to lose to others, but as long as you lose one game, you will not be able to enter the next round. But with this kind of rule now, then I think whoever is stronger will win."
"It's not bad. If you want to fish in troubled waters, you have no chance of getting a good ranking."
In this way, some people agree with the new rules, while others are dissatisfied. But whether you are satisfied or not, you have to follow this rule.
"The participating disciples in the Lingtai Realm quickly entered the competition arena, accepted identity checks, and were given new competition tokens." Qiu Yiming said loudly.
In each of the three camps, fifty peak Lingtai disciples came out, each led by a captain-level disciple, and all entered the inner arena of the competition.
The leader of Zhou Yang's team is Qi Yong, an elite disciple of Zhou Tianzong.
The leader of Taiqingmen's team is named Zu Zhen, and the leader of Dashun Trading Company is Hongzhan.
The three of them are all geniuses that each sect encounters once in a century. The eldest Zu Zhen is only twenty-five years old, the youngest Hong Zhan is twenty-two years old, and the middle one Qi Yong is twenty-three years old.
These three people are the popular candidates for the top three.
There are already ten arenas in the competition square, which are taller than the previous competition stages. There are no dotted lines on the stage, and there are no adjudicating deacons under the stage.
In other words, apart from the rules mentioned by Qiu Yiming, there are no other requirements for this competition. As long as the opponent can be completely beaten to the point where he cannot get up, he will be considered a winner.
Whoever is still standing in the ring at the end will be among the top ten.
After all participating disciples had obtained the jade medals for the competition, Qiu Yiming loudly said again: "Anyone can come on stage to defend the competition. Now the competition begins!"
After he finished speaking, none of the one hundred and fifty Lingtai disciples came up to the stage. They were all watching quietly. After a long tea time, the entire square seemed very quiet.
Qiu Yiming frowned and said in a deep voice again: "Disciples who have not been on stage within two hours will be treated as abstainers!"
Of course, this item was added temporarily by himself.
Those present on the viewing platform were all powerful figures from various factions in Dingbeicheng, including the leaders of the three major factions.
There was a cold start at the beginning of the competition. If this continues, Zhou Tianzong's face will be damaged. As a last resort, Qiu Yiming added this rule to urge the disciples to come on stage quickly.
This metaphor made the people who were still hesitating start to commotion.
The great elder of Zhou Tianzong gave an order, and if the disciples in the sect did not respond, it would be a loss of face.
Therefore, the four elite disciples of Zhou Tianzong first jumped onto the high platform, occupying stages one to four respectively, and then said in unison: "Brothers, please come!"
With the person taking the lead, three more elite disciples from the Taiqing Sect and three Dashun Trading Company jumped out and occupied the other six arenas respectively. Then they all showed their weapons and prepared for the battle.
Ten champions had appeared. Everyone in the audience hesitated for a moment, then ten people emerged from the crowd one after another. They climbed onto the high platform respectively. After exchanging names, they each raised their weapons to fight against the champions.
