As they approached the city, the majestic city wall appeared in front of them with a sense of severity. Under the towering city gate, there was an endless flow of people coming and going, and the atmosphere was filled with noisy excitement.
The two of them walked steadily through the city, looking at the spacious streets and the almost endless shops and buildings on both sides. Especially in that street, the black crowds of people with noisy voices turned into a huge sound wave, spread out, and immediately rushed straight into the city.
Yunxiao.
"The popularity of Huangcheng today is extremely strong. I'm afraid it can be compared with the most popular cities in the Black Corner Region." Looking at this majestic city and its popularity, Xiao Yan couldn't help but admire it.
"This is the Central Region of Zhongzhou, the center point of the entire continent. Although the Black Corner Region is not weak, how can it be compared with this place." Lin Yan chuckled, and immediately identified the route, and then led Xiao Yan.
He walked quickly towards the direction of the Liu family. He had stayed here for a while, so he knew Tianhuang City quite well.
Xiao Yan followed Lin Yan, passed through several extremely long streets, and then passed through several corners. An extremely vast manor appeared within the sight of the two of them.
This manor is extremely vast, and outside the current manor, it is almost filled with guards armed with weapons. Their alert and cold eyes are constantly scanning the surrounding area.
Seeing the tight defense of the manor, Xiao Yan was startled and said in amazement: "Do you need so many guards in broad daylight?"
Lin Yan was also stunned. After a moment, he frowned slightly and whispered: "There seems to be something wrong. The Liu family didn't have so many guards before. Just wait..." After saying that, Lin Yan turned his eyes and looked from the side.
He stopped a man who was walking in a hurry, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "My friend, I wonder what happened in Huangcheng today? Why did the Liu family suddenly behave like this?"
The man who was stopped by Lin Yan glanced at Lin Yan with some confusion and said: "Are you from outside? Now the Liu family and the Cheng family are competing for the management rights of the space wormhole, and both families have brought many people with them.
In the square in the center of the city, people all over the city came to watch the excitement.
Hearing this, Lin Yan frowned again, arched his hands to the person in front of him, then turned around and walked to Xiao Yan, whispering: "That's not right, I remember that the right to manage the space wormhole within this year is the right one."
It's the Liu family's turn, why are you fighting for it again?"
Xiao Yan also heard what the man said before, and immediately smiled and said: "You can find out if you go to the center of the city."
Lin Yan nodded, then chuckled and said: "It seems that Liu Qing is not so happy as the clan leader. Come with me, this kind of competition is not common..."
After saying that, Lin Yan turned around and led the way, walking quickly towards the center of the city. Xiao Yan smiled and followed closely.
……………………
In the center of Tianhuang City, there is an extremely spacious bluestone square. In the center of the square is a stone platform. On the stone platform, a huge dark space wormhole is slowly rotating, and an astonishing space fluctuation is diffused from it.
.
The area around the square is now almost occupied by a dense sea of people. The noisy sound is like a magical sound, making people's eardrums hurt. Countless curious eyes are looking at the center of the square, where two waves of people are confronting each other.
among.
"Cheng Yao, this year's space wormhole is under the control of my Liu family. What do you mean by your actions today?"
Among the group of people on the left, the leader is a sturdy man with a resolute face and a vague sense of self-reliance. This kind of face is vaguely familiar. If you look closely,
, besides Liu Qing, who else could it be?
Today's Liu Qing no longer has the vigor of the past, but is replaced by a kind of composure. After all, what the Liu family needs is a qualified clan leader, not a hot-blooded young boy.
Behind Liu Qing, there are two old men with white hair and beards. They stand casually, but they have a majestic aura, quietly rippling, making people dare not underestimate them. In addition, there is a
Next to her is a plump, mature and charming body. This woman is dressed in red and has a face like a peach blossom. She is full of temptation and looks very attractive to men. And this pretty face is also familiar to Liu Fei.
A rather touching name. Back then, she had some minor frictions with Xiao Yan in the inner courtyard.
However, after a few years, Liu Fei has become more and more attractive, like a ripe peach, causing many men outside the square to look away unconsciously.
"Hey, Liu Qing, speaking of which, you are still a generation younger than me. You can't be so rude when talking to your elders."
Opposite Liu Qing and others, there was also a large group of people with fierce faces. Their leader was a middle-aged man. He glanced at Liu Qing with a dark look, and then said with a strange smile.
Hearing this, Liu Qing sneered and was about to speak when an old voice suddenly sounded from the square.
"This is my latest order from the Burning Flame Valley."
Hearing the voice, countless eyes in the field immediately turned away, only to see an old man wearing a red robe, standing hunched over, with many red spots on his old face.
"Elder Chihuo of Burning Flame Valley?"
Seeing this old man, a series of exclamations suddenly sounded in the square. The expressions of Liu Qing and the two old men behind him also changed slightly, and they immediately raised their hands and said politely: "It turns out to be Elder Chihuo. I wonder what this latest order means.
What do you mean? According to the previous rules, now is not the time to hand over the management rights of the space wormhole?"
"The Valley Master has issued an order to invite some high-level alchemists to the Burning Flame Valley to help his old man refine a pill. However, he has not been able to find a suitable one so far, so he issued an order. If anyone can find a high-level alchemist, the space
The management rights of the wormhole will be handed over to his family, and this effect will last for three years." The old man known as Elder Chihuo said calmly.
"The Cheng family has found a sixth-grade alchemist who has been certified by Dan Pagoda. If you Liu family can also find it and ask him to follow me to Burning Flame Valley, this space wormhole can also be handed over to you, and time
Extended from one year to three years." Elder Chihuo pointed his finger in the direction of the Cheng family, where an old man wearing a purple alchemist's robe was standing proudly with his hands behind his back.
"Sixth-grade alchemist?" Hearing this, Liu Qing's expression also changed. There are indeed alchemists in his Liu family, but the highest one is only a fifth-grade alchemist. Sixth-grade ones have never appeared before. After all, that level
An alchemist in the country can get a good salary even in a force like Burning Flame Valley. Who would come to a family like theirs that is big or small?
"Elder Chihuo, this happened too suddenly. Can you give me the Liu family a few days? I will definitely try my best to find the sixth-grade alchemist!" His face changed for a while, and Liu Qing could only say this.
Elder Chihuo shook his head, and his tone was still calm: "This is an order given by the Valley Master himself, who dares to delay it? Let alone your Liu family, even I don't have that ability. If within today,
If your Liu family cannot hire a sixth-grade alchemist, then hand over the management of the space wormhole to the Cheng family."
Seeing that Elder Chihuo showed no mercy, Liu Qing looked quite embarrassed and clenched his fists. Where would he find a sixth-grade alchemist in one day? Do you really think that a sixth-grade alchemist is a cabbage? This level.
The alchemist, even in the Dan Pagoda, is considered to be close to the cutting-edge power.
"This old immortal must have accepted a gift from the Cheng family!" Behind Liu Qing, Liu Fei gritted her teeth and said angrily.
"Shut up!" Liu Qing's face darkened. When Liu Fei saw this, she could only stomp her feet in aggrieved manner and stopped talking.
"What should we do? Two elders." Liu Qing turned his head and looked at the two old men behind him and sighed.
Hearing this, the two old men also gave a bitter smile and said: "We also vaguely heard about the news that Fenyan Valley seemed to be looking for a high-level alchemist, but we didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly... Fei'er said it
It’s not wrong to be afraid. Someone should have informed the Cheng family a long time ago. I have also heard about this sixth-grade alchemist. It is said that he is a senior alchemist who has been promoted to the sixth-grade alchemist for a long time. In Huangcheng today,
I’m afraid it will be difficult to find someone with a higher level than him.”
Hearing what the two people said, Liu Qing's heart sank, and his fists clenched tightly. The space wormhole was too important to the Liu family. This was a huge amount of income. With this income as a foundation, their Liu family
They were able to recruit more capable people and expand their power just now, but if they are taken away by the Cheng family this time, their development speed will inevitably stagnate.
"Haha, nephew Liu, it's better to stop thinking nonsense and hand over the management of the space wormhole with peace of mind. If I am happy in the future, maybe I can let the Liu family share some soup." The middle-aged man known as Cheng Yao
The young man couldn't help but smile strangely when he saw Bang Qing's expression changing.
Liu Qing's face turned livid when he heard the other party's sarcastic words. However, now that he is the patriarch of the Liu family, every move he makes must be considered for the family. At the moment, he can only suppress the rage in his heart and bite unwillingly.
He gritted his teeth and said in a gloomy voice: "Cheng Yao, I'm going to be cruel this time! Let's go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Qing could only wave his hand with a livid face and turned to leave.
"Hey, Liu Qing, this isn't like you. Can't you just give up like this?" Just when Liu Qing turned around, a figure came from outside the square and smiled at Liu Qing.
"Lin Yan?"
Liu Qing was startled when he saw the person coming, then sighed and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, let's go. You are not a sixth-grade alchemist, so you can't help me."
Hearing this, Lin Yan laughed strangely and said, "I really can't help you, but there are people who can help you." After the words fell, he turned his head and smiled at the sky: "I said, you want
How long do you stay up there?"
Seeing Lin Yan's actions, Liu Qing, Liu Fei and others were also stunned. They immediately raised their heads and saw a young figure coming from the sky, and then landed gently on the ground.
"Walking in the air, a strong man from the Dou Sect?"
Seeing this scene, Liu Qing and others felt a chill in their hearts. Just as they were about to clasp their fists and say some polite words, a laugh that was so familiar that he could never forget suddenly rang out, causing his body to stiffen suddenly.
"Liu Qing, I haven't seen you for a few years. How are you?"
