Corridor entrance.
Almost as soon as the tense atmosphere between father and daughter Ye Yun and Ying Que had eased, some young people who couldn't sit still in the hall appeared in the corridor just as Tantai Xuan said.
Tantai Xuan looked at Ying Que and Wei Shengxiao, "Two island owners, we are the masters of this place, so why don't we let the guests come to see our jokes? What do you think?"
Ying Que and Wei Shengxiao looked at each other and nodded. Soon, Ying Que took the young disciples of Ying Qing from Yingzhou Island and left first, while Tantai Xuan left without any warning just like he did when he arrived before. go.
"Mu Qing, when you enter the Black Royal Temple in front, you guys represent Suzaku City, and you will be the guests at that time. Can you understand?"
Wei Shengxiao stood next to Mu Qing and said.
At this time, some familiar faces to Mu Qing had appeared in the corridor. Mu Qing looked at Zhu Hao and others who were greeting him, and said softly: "Island owner, please don't worry, we won't have any problems after this." , it’s all my own choice, and I will never have any complaints about it.”
Wei Shengxiao looked at Mu Qing with a somewhat incomprehensible look in his eyes, nodded slowly, and left straight away, "Let's go."
Xiang Wen and the other three hurriedly followed behind their master. Xiang Wu did not forget to cup his fists at Mu Qing and said, "Senior brother Mu Qing, see you in the competition!"
Mu Qing nodded slowly and watched Wei Shengxiao lead the three of them in another direction. He thought that there were other routes in this building leading to the temple at the front.
Just when Mu Qing let his thoughts go and waited for Zhu Hao and the others to arrive, a voice of doubt suddenly sounded from behind him: "Why are you still here?"
Mu Qing subconsciously looked back and saw Gu Yinghe standing in front of Wei Shenghua, frowning and staring at him.
Wei Shenghua was clearly unwilling to be outdone, "You are not the same. I'm afraid the other members of the Gu family have already arrived at the main hall in front."
Gu Yinghe's slender eyebrows moved slightly, and he said with an extremely serious expression: "I am now from Suzaku City."
When Mu Qing heard this, he couldn't help but frown and said, "You still decide to participate in the trial?"
Gu Yinghe turned to him and said, "You are the city lord of Suzaku City. If you don't recognize me as a member of Suzaku City, I naturally can't participate."
"Hey..." Mu Qing had a headache, "These are two different things..."
Just when Mu Qing was helpless at Gu Yinghe's stubbornness, Zhu Hao and others had already arrived and greeted Mu Qing quite familiarly: "Brother Mu Qing, you came a little late. I still wanted to introduce him to them." And you."
Mu Qing nodded towards Zhu Hao and looked behind him. His sister Zhu Ling was also there. The remaining two men and one woman were completely unfamiliar faces. When Mu Qing looked at them, the other party was also looking at Mu Qing and the others silently. .
Mu Qing said to the three of them from Chen's house: "Suzaku City, Mu Qing."
Zhu Hao saw that Mu Qing, who had a rather lively attitude yesterday, took the initiative to speak, and looked at the three people he had brought with him with a grin.
The pretty woman among them was wearing a white Taoist skirt, her bright eyes fell on Mu Qing's face, and she said generously: "Nanhai Taoist Sect, Zheyun Li."
After Zhe Yunli spoke, the other two men also spoke one after another and took the initiative to introduce their identities.
Although the three of them couldn't hide their arrogance in their expressions, they were not arrogant in their conversations. Mu Qing originally thought that these three people should be similar to Zhu Hao in their respective factions, but after learning about their identities, It was then that he was surprised to find that these three people were from the same sect.
According to the rules of the Mingshentu competition introduced by Wei Shengxiao before, the various forces participating in this alliance can only send up to three disciples, which means that one of the three people in front of them should be the most outstanding being like Zhu Hongyan. .
Zhe Yunli saw the person involved in the rumored incident in front of him and his eyes kept turning on the three of them. He raised his eyebrows and said, "City Lord, have you seen the three of us before?"
Mu Qing was a little embarrassed, shook his head and said, "I didn't expect the three of them to be from the same sect. It seems that the Nanhai Dao Sect has a very good relationship with the Zhu family."
Zhe Yunli blinked, looked at Mu Qing's extremely handsome face, smiled and said: "The city lord thinks too highly of us. If you have a good relationship with Senior Brother Zhu, then you can say that the relationship between Zhuque City and the Zhu family is
Department, we can't represent Dao Zong, this trip is just to increase the world's popularity. "
"Haha, we are all the same!" Zhu Hao didn't care about this, and explained to Mu Qing: "It seems that you still don't understand the Dao Sect. Their three surnames are all among the ten major families, and they are often cited. People call them the three sects of heaven, earth, and people.”
Zhe Yunli nodded and smiled: "There are nine people from Daozong participating in the competition this time. If the city lord wants to know his opponent in advance, he can pay attention to the saint of our Tianzong. She has the same level of strength as Miss Zhu. .”
On the side, Zhu Ling curled his lips when he saw the "social butterfly" of Dao Zong Tian Sect talking about his idol. Just as he was about to argue, the two male disciples from Human Sect and Di Sect spoke first and spared no effort in praising her. The holy son who comes from his own family lineage.
Zhe Yunli originally wanted to meet for the first time and leave a good impression in front of Mu Qing, a rising star who had recently risen to prominence in the world of spiritual practice. However, when he saw that two fellow disciples dared to use their "foot-tapping" Holy Son and his own Saintess Bi, finally unable to maintain her grace, started arguing with the two of them, completely ignoring Mu Qing and the others who were standing aside.
"Hey... let's go there quickly. The other forces have arrived and are probably waiting for you."
Zhu Hao scratched his head, completely ignored the three people arguing next to him, and said to Mu Qing.
Faced with this situation, Mu Qing twitched the corner of his mouth: "This..."
Zhu Hao turned around and led everyone towards the long corridor. As he walked, he said to Mu Qing beside him: "That's it, Daozong. If you encounter such a situation in the future, remember not to be curious and leave them alone." Let’s wait until they finish arguing.”
Regarding the specific information about the "Ten Families", even Wei Shengxiao hadn't said much before. Mu Qing asked curiously: "In your case, how are the strengths and weaknesses of the Ten Families ranked?"
"Hehe... you have asked the right person." Zhu Hao raised his eyebrows, moved closer to Mu Qing, and whispered: "Although everyone is kind and friendly when they meet, in fact, no one is really dissatisfied with this ranking. care."
"The one currently taking the top spot is the Wuji Sword Sect. The sword sect is divided into two sects: the inner and outer sects. The inner sect specializes in swordsmanship and sword will, and does not have high requirements for swords. The outer sect specializes in swordsmanship and sword energy, but has low requirements for swords. They are extremely harsh. Half of the people who show up in public are the disciples of the outer sect. Among those who came from the Sword Sect this time, Su Wuming from the outer sect is very powerful. Sister Hongyan has mentioned this person. In addition..."
Perhaps because he had been holding back in that hall for a long time, Zhu Hao was very excited about the conversation along the way. Before Mu Qing could ask, he told the information he had collected over the past few days. This not only made Mu Qing gain a lot. Even Dao Sect disciples like Zhe Yunli listened with gusto.
When Zhu Hao finally stopped speaking, Mu Qing couldn't help but sigh: "My previous knowledge was indeed too shallow. According to what Brother Zhu said, the Wuji Sword Sect ranks first, the Dongfang Family ranks second, and the Xishan Lin Family ranks third."
Zhu Hao was very satisfied that Mu Qing was listening carefully, and continued with great pride: "Our Zhu family ranks fourth, and the Nanhai Dao Sect ranks fifth. This ranking is recognized by the cultivation world as the ranking of the top cultivation forces. In fact, if we break it down If you come, the Wuji Sword Sect with two surnames will occupy two seats among the ten families, and the Dao Sect will occupy three seats at once."
"Hey!" Zhe Yunli had not argued with his two classmates at this time. He was following behind them. At this moment, he suddenly jumped out and said angrily: "Then Su Wuming from the Sword Sect is no match for my saint daughter from the Tianzong. So, In comparison, why is my Dao Sect’s ranking so low?”
"Uh..." Zhu Hao blinked. He had suffered a little at this man's hands before. Seeing that Zhe Yunli was more serious, he quickly said: "This ranking is actually based on the immortal creatures that have appeared in the world of cultivation from various forces. The ranking will be based on the number of people, but senior sister Zhe, don’t be angry.”
"Elder Yushan once said that if the three sects are unified one day, even the Wuji Sword Sect's overall power may not be as powerful as yours."
Zhe Yunli's expression softened and he agreed: "This is the same way. After all, there are quite a lot of seniors in our three branches of the Tao who secretly practice in seclusion."
Zhu Hao responded helplessly and met Mu Qing's eyes. The expression on his face was extremely interesting. He seemed to be saying - Look, I was right. No force doesn't care about its ranking.
This was the first time for Mu Qing to see Zhe Yunli, a real practitioner from the cultivation sect.
After close contact with the disciples who came out of the sect, even if they were slow, they gradually discovered the biggest difference between them - that is, disciples like Zhe Yunli, they have only practiced cultivation in their lives, and they have come all the way from the world of mortals. He has too many thoughts on his mind.
Seeing Mu Qing slow down, Zhu Hao seemed to have a sudden realization, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He turned to look at Ye Yun and was about to speak, but Mu Qing had already woken up and asked: "Brother Zhu, how did you find this place?" Coming?"
"Oh." Zhu Hao looked at Mu Qing, who had returned to normal, with some surprise, and said truthfully: "Someone told us that people from Suzaku City are here. Why, I seemed to have seen other people when I came here just now. You guys just now Is there a conflict?"
When Mu Qing heard this, he understood that Zhu Hao and the others' arrival should be Tantai Xuan's fault. He shook his head and said, "There is no conflict. It's just that I came here too hastily and delayed some things on the way."
When Nazhe Yunli saw Mu Qing talking about business, he took the initiative and asked: "City Lord, you should also participate in the trial, right?"
Mu Qing nodded.
Zhe Yunli asked again: "I heard that you were also invited here, so who is the senior you are leading this time?"
When Zhe Yunli spoke, his eyes were already looking at the women following Mu Qing. Looking at the stunning faces of these women, this female Tianzong disciple was actually more curious about Mu Qing's relationship with them.
When Mu Qing was asked, he saw the equally curious eyes of Zhu Hao next to him, and looked in the direction of Wang Yeqing, "Mrs. Wang is the person leading the team in Suzaku City."
After Mu Qing finished speaking, Zhu Hao and the others quickly greeted Wang Yeqing respectfully, and Wang Yeqing also nodded calmly.
Only then did Mu Qing realize that it was not useless for Wang Yeqing to ask Wei Shenglan to help cover up his aura. When people like Zhe Yunli faced Wang Yeqing, whose aura was unfathomable, they subconsciously regarded him as the leader of He Jifang. The same level of existence.
Mu Qing looked at Wang Yeqing who was responding calmly and couldn't hide his guilt. Wang Yeqing had taken on a lot of the pressure for him.
On the side, Zhu Hao spoke again: "Then these two are..."
Mu Qing followed Zhu Hao's line of sight and found that he was asking about Wei Shenghua and Gu Yinghe, and was startled.
This was the first time Wei Shenghua saw these young people from other forces after she returned to the island. She smiled and said, "Yinghe and I are both worshipers of Suzaku City, Mishima who came with the city lord."
Zhu Hao quickly said: "Oh, you two seniors, disrespectful."
Mu Qing was helpless when he heard this, but didn't know what to say. He turned around and walked towards the main hall where the outline could be seen in front of him.
