After saying these words, Chen Tian ignored Okro, walked to one of the beds, took off his shoes and sat on the bed, crossed his legs, and began to practice quietly.
Okoro has always liked to compare with Chen Tian, mainly because he saw that the former has been promoted to a spiritual general at such a young age, and his psychology was temporarily unbalanced.
He always shows off so many things, just to find some balance, but when he saw Chen Tian's appearance, Okoro could only shake his head in despair.
"There is really no comparison between humans. Oh no, it is between humans and monsters."
Looking deeply at Chen Tian who was practicing, Okoro said these words very seriously, and then let out a sigh of relief.
After adjusting his mentality, he walked to another bed, sat cross-legged there, and started practicing.
…
The night slowly opened, the full moon hung high in the sky, and the soft, watery moonlight poured on the earth, making it appear peaceful and peaceful.
In this seemingly peaceful night, there were countless conspiracies brewing, and a tense atmosphere filled the sky above the Qingyang Empire.
Some cultivators have already smelled an unusual smell, but the ordinary residents are still in the festive atmosphere. They are all waiting for the alchemy conference tomorrow.
As the night falls and the sky becomes dim, people of all kinds can be seen hurriedly on the streets of Sok City, and they are traveling in the direction of the imperial capital.
Chen Tian and Okoro had already made preparations to march towards the imperial capital together with the pedestrians.
Suok City is not far from the Imperial Capital, only ten kilometers away, and most of those who are on the way are cultivators. Therefore, it only took half a month for Chen Tian to follow the flow of people and arrive not far from the Imperial Capital.
.
Standing on the small slope, Chen Tian could already see the city walls of the imperial capital, but he did not continue to move forward. He stood on the small slope and waited quietly.
"The city gate hasn't opened yet, let's wait here." He said softly to Okoro who was standing next to him. Chen Tian took out the water bag from the storage bag and drank the water slowly.
Come.
Okoro, who was standing next to him, didn't say much after hearing Chen Tian's words. He stood quietly, staring straight ahead, with worry written on his face.
Chen Tian fully understood Okoro's mood at this time. After all, anyone would worry about the safety of their family members when they are in danger.
Ahead, the closed city gate has not yet been opened, but there are thousands of people waiting outside the city gate. Some of them gather in groups and chat, while others stand quietly with their hands folded.
An indifferent look.
"There are actually about twenty high-level spiritual masters in the crowd." Looking at the crowd in front of him, Chen Tian sensed it secretly, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"It seems that there are still many masters on this continent, but their styles are relatively low-key." Chen Tian soon made this judgment.
"Although there were many powerful people who came to watch the alchemy conference in previous years, this year's number is the largest. It seems that they came because of the turmoil." Okoro, who was standing next to Chen Tian, said softly.
Hearing this, Chen Tian nodded in agreement.
In a game like this, the number of troops cannot influence the outcome of the battle at all. The competition between the two sides is still the number of masters.
"Your Oak family controls 60% of the empire's military power. I believe there are many experts, right?" Chen Tian said calmly, turning to look at Okro.
"If we only compare with those in power, the number of masters in my Oak family will not be less than theirs." Okro said solemnly.
"Could it be that your Oak family has to deal with more than just the rulers of the empire?" Chen Tian said with a look of surprise on his face.
"The one who is hostile to my Oak family is the Sugar family. If our Oak family wins this turmoil, they will be the first ones to be removed. So they will never sit still and wait for death. Before I left the family
, I also know some inside information through the family meeting. Now that the Sugar family has cooperated with the people in charge of the empire, in this case, our Oak family will face two major forces, and we will be at a disadvantage in terms of the number of experts."
After saying this, Okoro frowned slightly and said.
Seeing Okro's appearance, Chen Tian shrugged and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so pessimistic. Lei Xing is an elder of a certain sect. Judging from his friendship with your Okro family, and judging from the fact that he has friendship with your Okro family,
From a profit perspective, he should choose to help your Oak family."
"Boom."
As soon as Chen Tian finished speaking, there was a heavy sound of opening the door in the distance, and he saw the tightly closed heavy city gate slowly opening.
Seeing this situation, the crowd who had been waiting outside for a long time immediately became commotion, and the noisy scene resembled a vegetable market.
"Let's go."
After saying softly, Chen Tian took the lead and walked towards the city gate, followed by Okoro.
When Okoro came out of the family, Lei Xing gave him two masks, and the ones Chen Tian and Chen Tian wore were the latest ones, so they didn't have to worry about being recognized.
Soon, the two came to the crowd and lined up at the back of the queue, waiting to enter the imperial capital.
At the frontmost position, two fences were sandwiched, leaving only one opening. Only one person could pass through at a time, and there were many soldiers guarding it, holding a portrait in their hands, checking each one one by one.
There are already a lot of people waiting to enter, so checking them one by one will waste a lot of time.
But the authority of the empire is placed there, and no one dares to defy it. Those standing behind can only complain about why they were not smart enough just now. If they had stood a little further forward, wouldn't they have been able to get in earlier?
"Oh my God! The two of us are at the back. If we follow the normal procedures, I really don't know how long we will have to wait." Chen Tian sighed as he raised his feet and looked at the people queuing up like a long queue.
"It's your own fault! If it were in peacetime, the imperial capital would not compare portraits. The reason for this procedure is not all caused by you."
Okoro, who was standing behind him, rolled his eyes at Chen Tian after hearing Chen Tian's complaint, and then said in a very unhappy tone.
Hearing this, Chen Tian was puzzled, but after hearing the low murmurs of the crowd in front, he finally understood what Okoro meant.
"Are all the people in power in the empire just eating shit? We haven't been able to catch that Chen Tian for so long, so we have to wait here in vain."
Such discussions resounded from time to time, but no one dared to shout loudly, except, of course, those who deliberately sought death.
The inspection speed was extremely slow, and people kept coming from all directions. As a result, the long queue continued to grow.
"Dong dong."
When the scorching sun hung in the middle of the sky, announcing that noon had arrived, bursts of bells suddenly rang in the imperial capital, followed by warm cheers.
"The alchemy conference has begun."
When they heard the bell ringing, the crowd waiting outside the city gate began to talk, with anxious looks on their faces.
"According to the plan, the time to start is at the end of the first round of the Alchemy Conference, and a round of competition takes two hours. According to our current position in the queue, we should be able to enter the city near the end."
Hearing anxious discussions coming from around him, Okoro murmured softly.
"Wait, something is wrong." As soon as Okoro finished speaking, Chen Tian frowned and said.
At the same time, soldiers shouted from the front: "Today is the Qingyang Empire's triennial alchemy conference. The number of people is several times greater than in previous years. For the sake of the safety of the conference, it has been decided to close the city gate and control the flow of people. Everyone, please go back."
Bar."
As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion immediately, and the crowd made waves of protest, but the protest had no effect, and the heavy city gate slowly closed with a roaring sound.
The moment the city gate closed, several figures suddenly jumped out from the commotion. They quickly gathered together, not knowing what they were discussing.
"Okro, besides the city gate, do you know of any other entrances?" Chen Tian asked as he moved his eyes away from those people and focused on Okro.
"Yes, but it's a bit dangerous there. If you go in from there, you might run into trouble." Okro frowned, a look of anxiety flashing in his eyes.
"You can't get in from this side of the city gate. Where is the entrance you mentioned?" After thinking for a moment, Chen Tian said seriously.
After hearing Chen Tian's words, Okoro thought for a while, then nodded towards the former, and said in a low voice: "There is an entrance at the very back of the imperial capital. It is very remote and not many people know about it. However.
I believe there are definitely people guarding there."
"As long as the problem can be solved by force, it is not a problem." Chen Tian said fearlessly with a sinister curve on his lips.
"Well, then, shall we go there now?" Okoro nodded and asked.
"Wait a minute." Chen Tian shook his head slightly, and then turned his attention to the dozen or so people not far away who were discussing countermeasures.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Seeing Chen Tian's Mo Yang, Okoro's face showed confusion. At the same time, he looked at those people with a look of caution.
"After being promoted to a spiritual general, my hearing is much better than that of a great spiritual master." Chen Tian smiled, shrugged, and said calmly: "Let them go first."
Hearing this, Okoro instantly understood what Chen Tian meant and didn't say much. He quietly looked at the few people not far away.
Under the gazes of Chen Tian and the others, a dozen people standing not far away seemed to have discussed a countermeasure. After looking around with vigilant eyes, they used their spiritual power to run in a certain direction at an extremely fast speed.
"Swish."
Not long after the group left, another dozen people jumped out of the crowd. They looked at each other, nodded, and then quickly chased after them with cold eyes.
"The show is about to begin. Let's take a look at which side is the enemy and which side is the friend."
When the two groups left, Chen Tian smiled with a smile on his face, Chao Okoro waved his hand, and then the two of them separated from the crowd one after another and chased in the direction where the two groups left.
