Nie Yuanxun and Yang Zhiyuan hurriedly walked to Nie Longzhen and Yang Jiazhi, and carefully inspected the cultivation status of their heirs, both showing satisfaction.
"Father!"
"Lord Prefect!"
Mu Feng and Xi Hongguang walked towards Xi Haochu and cupped their hands.
"Thank you for your hard work, the Genius Conference is about to begin! You can leave for China today. Come back to the Governor's Mansion with me first. I have ordered people to prepare the spaceship, and I have also made arrangements for other participating geniuses.
Waiting for you!"
Xi Haochu nodded and said.
"good!"
Mu Feng and Xi Hongguang both nodded, and then, led by Xi Haochu, left the iceberg area, with Yang Zhiyuan and Nie Yuanxun following closely behind.
Mu Feng was keenly aware that Xi Haochu was a little disappointed with his attitude. Apparently he also understood that his cultivation progress this time did not reach the level that Xi Haochu expected.
However, Mu Feng didn't care because he understood that the progress he had gained this time was much more than what appeared on the surface.
As long as the genius event begins, he will be able to shock the world! Above the Youzhou Prefect's Mansion, there is a magnificent and vast spaceship suspended. Its streamlined hull is as flawless as a swimming fish, with a very beautiful arc.
The hull was shining with colorful light, and it was obvious that the surface of the hull was covered with various powerful restrictions and formations.
At this moment, on the deck of the spaceship, under the arrangement of the Great Elder, geniuses from Youzhou who had participated in the genius event entered the spaceship one after another.
Soon, the great elder had counted most of the geniuses, among whom Qin Wanlang and Qin Keqing of the Qin family were impressively listed.
The two looked around, but did not see Mu Feng. Of course, they also did not see Xi Hongguang, Yang Jiazhi and Nie Longzhen.
"The prefect is not here either. It seems that he took Xi Hongguang, Mu Feng and the others to a special training somewhere!"
Qin Wanlang guessed this, his eyes full of envy.
Qin Keqing nodded and said: "It seems that the governor attaches great importance to Mr. Mu! I just don't know how we in Youzhou can win this time in the genius event?"
Qin Wanlang shook his head and said: "I'm afraid there won't be any good rankings! After all, we in Youzhou have been poor and weak all year round. Even the number of places this time is at the bottom, with only more than 500! It's even less than Yunzhou.
More than three hundred!”
The total number of places for the Genius Festival is 10,000, and they are evenly distributed among the nine states, which is equivalent to more than 1,100 places in one state.
But Youzhou only has more than 500, which is far below the average. It ranks last among the nine states, and the quality of geniuses is also lower than other states.
With such a huge gap, it is impossible for one genius to turn the tide. Unless this genius dominates all the younger generations in Kyushu, he may be able to escape Youzhou's fate of being at the bottom.
But both Qin Wanlang and Qin Keqing understand that this is even more impossible! The top geniuses in Kyushu are all truly brilliant. Their cultivation levels are all at the pinnacle of quasi-sages, and their combat power is comparable to that of the Holy Lord.
.
Such evil monsters are simply beyond their reach. No one in the younger generation in Youzhou can match them.
"But with the addition of a genius no less powerful than Xi Hongguang, we in Youzhou should have hope of surpassing Yunzhou and Jingzhou, right?"
Qin Keqing frowned.
Before Qin Wanlang could speak, someone interrupted him: "There is basically no hope! Don't you know that Yunzhou and Jingzhou have united?
If the two states unite, there will be no hope for us in Youzhou!"
Qin Wanlang and Qin Keqing were shocked. They looked up and found that the person speaking was a wealthy young man holding a feather fan. He was the young man who was sitting next to Xi Hongguang.
Naturally, this wealthy young man is no stranger to the two of them. He is Zhang Wendong, the eldest son of the first family of the five major families. He is a genius who has just entered the Quasi-Sage and ranks fourth on the Youzhou Ranking.
"Brother Zhang! Are you serious about this?"
Qin Wanlang raised his hands to Zhang Wendong and asked with a slightly changed expression.
"It's absolutely true. Our Zhang family's spies heard about this matter! How could it be false?"
Zhang Wendong shook his feather fan and sighed softly.
Qin Wanlang and Qin Keqing fell silent, and their hearts became cold.
I originally thought that Youzhou would be able to surpass Yunzhou and Jingzhou, but I didn’t expect that these two major states would actually unite. In this way, Youzhou would be trampled far under the feet of these two major states, and there would be no chance of a comeback.
possible.
"It's the governor! They're back!"
Someone shouted something, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the deck. Even Zhang Wendong, Qin Wanlang and Qin Keqing, who were silent, couldn't help but look up.
I saw several figures rushing towards me from the distant sky in the north. In the blink of an eye, they appeared on the deck of the spaceship. They were Xi Haochu, Yang Zhiyuan and other people who had arrived.
Xi Hongguang, Mu Feng, Yang Jiazhi and Nie Longzhen followed behind.
"Master Prefect, everyone is here, do you want to set off now?"
The great elder came over, bowed respectfully to Xi Haochu and asked.
Xi Haochu nodded and said: "Let's go! Mr. Suo, you will be the guardian of Youzhou, and I will leave it to you later!"
The great elder raised his hands to Xi Haochu and said: "Your Majesty, you are so polite. I will spare no effort to protect Youzhou. If anything goes wrong, I will come to see you!"
"good!"
Xi Haochu patted the elder's shoulder, and then ordered to set sail. Suddenly, blazing flames spurted out from the tail of the huge spacecraft, and then disappeared over the prefect's mansion in the blink of an eye, turning into a small black spot in the distant sky.
"Young Master Xi, Brother Mu Feng!"
Xi Hongguang and Mu Feng walked side by side on the deck. Zhang Wendong came over with Qin Wanlang and Qin Keqing and greeted them politely.
"It turns out to be Brother Zhang! There are also brothers and sisters from the Qin family!"
Xi Hongguang smiled and greeted gently.
Mu Feng also returned the gift, but only nodded.
"Did the Grand Administrator take you to the Netherworld Cave this time?"
Zhang Wendong's eyes flickered and he asked tentatively.
Xi Hongguang smiled and said: "Brother Zhang, you are still as sharp as ever. We did go to the Nether Saint Underworld Cave and practiced there for a month!"
"As expected!"
Zhang Wendong's face was full of envy, and he said with a true expression: "No wonder I feel that I haven't seen you for a month. Young Master Xi, your whole aura has become different, and your cultivation has improved! That Netherworld Saint Underworld Cave is a mysterious place."
It’s the most famous treasure in the state! I’m so envious that you guys went in!”
Qin Wanlang and Qin Keqing also looked envious. The Nether Saint Underworld Cave is a fatal temptation for Youzhou warriors. Who doesn't want to go in and practice to quickly break through the realm.
It is said that the efficiency of cultivating there is far superior to that of the outside world, and can be improved hundreds of times.
Xi Hongguang smiled and said: "You three don't need to be envious. There is still a huge gap between the Nether Saint Underworld Cave and the real Cave Heaven Paradise. If we can perform outstandingly at the Genius Festival, we can enter the Six Holy Lands! The Cave Heaven Paradise there is comparable to that of China.
The level of Cave Heaven Paradise is higher and the effect is better!"
