As long as Luo Chen can win one of the three matches tomorrow, he will personally resolve the remaining two.
Now he is just looking forward to it, hoping that the boy will not fall off the chain when the time comes.
Returning to the palace where he lived, Mr. Chu was followed by a group of worried elders.
"Master, if tomorrow's competition doesn't work... if it doesn't work, why don't you go and invite Tianqi to come? With his cultivation level, winning a match is definitely not a problem."
"No need." Mr. Chu snorted and cursed in a muffled voice: "What bullshit? Jingyuan Hou, at the critical moment, it has no effect."
Speaking of Chu Tianqi, Chu Kuangsheng became angry.
"I think his Jingyuan Marquis is just a show-off. He is so capable, but why can't he even protect his own family? He has been bullied like this, and he doesn't even dare to fart!"
The elders sighed. In fact, they all knew in their hearts that if Chu Tianqi hadn't been secretly soothing him, Eternal City would have changed hands long ago. How could it be as peaceful as it is now?
Mr. Chu knew it in his heart, but he had such a bad temper.
This night was destined to be uneventful. The lights in Eternal City were not extinguished almost all night long.
Everyone in the Chu family was even more nervous, as if they were about to face a formidable enemy.
Only in the East Side Hall, the atmosphere was relatively relaxed.
Luo Chen was sitting in front of the window, holding an ancient book and watching quietly. In the next room, Yinyin was snoring loudly. Luo Chen was a little funny. This girl had clearly told her not to be too noisy during the day.
Otherwise, you will snore loudly at night, but you won't listen.
At this time, a bright red figure appeared behind him. It was Zuo Linglong who was hiding in secret. Luo Chen looked at her in surprise, not expecting that she would show up on her own initiative.
Zuo Linglong's eyes were rarely clear, and she stared at Luo Chen in a daze.
"Have you recovered?" Luo Chen asked tentatively.
Zuo Linglong blinked and nodded slowly.
Luo Chen put down the ancient book in his hand, stood up and came to Zuo Linglong. After some inspection, he unexpectedly found that nearly one-third of her incomplete soul had been restored.
"Give this back to you."
Zuo Linglong handed the fragment of the Soul-Eating Reincarnation Stone back to Luo Chen, and Luo Chen suddenly realized that it must be because of this object.
"I won't use this thing, you can keep it."
Zuo Linglong insisted and handed it back to Luo Chen: "This piece has no effect on me anymore."
Luo Chen's heart moved and he asked: "You mean, the other soul-eating reincarnation stone fragments are still useful to you?"
"Maybe." Zuo Linglong looked at the bright moon above her head and suddenly asked: "Is my family... okay?"
Luo Chen was silent for a long time, and finally told her the truth: "Since the bloody massacre at the Lord's Mansion in Licheng, all the major families, including the Zuo family, have left Licheng.
Later, the armies of the Three Kingdoms invaded, and most of Tiandou's territory was lost. During this period, the Zuo family suffered a lot of damage, and basically they were all scattered."
Zuo Linglong's face suddenly turned pale, she staggered and almost fell down.
She had been living in a haze these past few years. I don’t know what year it was, but when she woke up again, it was already a fleeting moment, and everything had changed!
"Don't worry, there are still descendants of your Zuo family left."
The entire Tianlan Territory was under Luo Chen's control. He wanted to go back in two years and visited many old friends. Because of Zuo Linglong, he also secretly checked the situation of the Zuo family. It was miserable!
But with him secretly caressing me, things have gotten better over the years.
Listening to Luo Chen's narration, Zuo Linglong listened quietly at the side, crying silently, feeling extremely hateful in her heart!
"I thought I was dead, but I didn't expect that I have survived until now and still have such a powerful body inexplicably."
After hearing what she said, Luo Chen touched his nose and smiled, feeling quite embarrassed.
Over the years, he often experienced tribulations when he achieved breakthroughs in cultivation. After discovering that Zuo Linglong had a special physique and could absorb the damage from lightning tribulations, he subconsciously used her to protect himself from tribulations.
And she also began to transform under the baptism of calamity again and again, and she had a body comparable to that of a saint.
At that time, Luo Chen never thought that Zuo Linglong would recover one day, thinking that she would be just a doll in her life, so...
Now that people take the initiative to bring it up, why isn't Luo Chen embarrassed? His face turns red!
Thinking about it now, his old face was filled with panic. She was a girl after all, so it would be better for him to just use her as a meat pad to ward off the catastrophe. If he told this, he would definitely be scorned by others!
Fortunately, Zuo Linglong was not conscious at that time, otherwise, she would have gone berserk.
The night was full of stars. Zuo Linglong talked a lot to Luo Chen that night. Originally, Luo Chen didn't have the patience, but due to the guilt in his heart, he could only listen patiently all night.
The next day, when it was just dawn, the Chu family elders came to invite them outside. Luo Chen was afraid that it would be too noisy and disturb the girl's dream, so he set up a soundproof array outside her room.
Zuo Linglong has begun to regain consciousness, and she will take care of her for the time being. Luo Chen is not worried that the girl will make a fuss when she wakes up. He is not worried that something will happen to her, but he is worried that she will not be able to find him when she wakes up.
This palace was demolished.
The elder who came to invite Luo Chen was also an old acquaintance. He was none other than Elder Chu He.
Different from the past, Luo Chen obviously felt that he was a little cautious. He thought that Mr. Chu must have said something to him, so he did not dare to neglect.
On the way, Luo Chen asked Elder Chuhe: "In today's three competitions, do you know the details of the opponent? How strong is it?"
Elder Chu He frowned and smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Except for the young master of the Beichen clan, Beichen Mu, the other two are to be determined."
Luo Chen narrowed his eyes, chuckled, and said, "I'd be cautious, there are a lot of people here, right?"
Elder Chuhe nodded solemnly: "The Beichen clan leader has arrived in person. In addition, there are also some unknown powerful people, of various kinds, no less than several hundred people."
Luo Chen laughed dumbly: "It seems that he came prepared. Could it be that he took over the Eternal City directly after a competition."
"Rampant!" Elder Chu He also had a bad temper. When he heard this, his temper suddenly rose, and he was so angry that he said: "Eternal City is the territory of my Chu family. If you want to taint it, you are just talking nonsense.
Don’t even think about it!”
As soon as the words changed, Elder Chuhe asked with some concern: "How sure are you that you can win?"
Luo Chen is too young, and Elder Chu He still has some doubts in his mind. If Chu Yi hadn't been injured, and there was no other strong man among the younger generation of the Chu family who could take action, I'm afraid many elders wouldn't be able to do it either.
Agree to let him take over this battle.
"Do you believe me when I say 100%?"
What Luo Chen said was too frivolous and made people feel a little unreliable, which made Elder Chu He feel a drum in his heart.
In case of defeat, the next two matches will probably not be necessary, so this first match is crucial!
The thoughts in Elder Chuhe's heart were all written on his face. Luo Chen didn't even have to guess deliberately. He could just scan with his eyes and see that they were almost the same.
He didn't explain much about this.
Today's fight had already caused a stir in Eternal City three days ago and became a hot topic.
Everyone is guessing who will win.
This battle is crucial. Not to mention the distance, Eternal City alone has hundreds of forces, large and small, and my nervous palms are sweating. Once the Chu family is defeated, Eternal City will vow to fight more in the future.
Here comes the second in command.
The Chu family has been running Eternal City for so long. Even if they lose, how can they willingly hand over control of Eternal City?
Originally, the Chu family had no choice but to accept these three fights. By then, there will definitely be a war between the Chu family and the Beichen family. If so, the biggest turmoil will definitely be the forces below! As the saying goes, gods fight mortals.
This is the truth about suffering.
From a selfish point of view, all the major and small forces in Eternal City still hope that the Chu family can continue to be in power.
At the very least, the Chu family controls Eternal City, and they know everything about it. If it were suddenly replaced by the Beichen family, there's no telling what kind of changes would occur.
The Chu family, on top of Tianxing Mountain, set up an arena today to welcome the competition. The scene was extremely grand!
On this day, countless people came to visit. Basically, all the famous forces in Eternal City had arrived and gathered at the Chu family!
Who is not interested in the contest between the Chu family and Xuanyuan of the ancient dynasty? In addition to the forces of Eternal City, even the other seven aristocratic families have people coming, and the forces secretly paying attention to this battle are very promising!
"The representative of Xuanyuan from the ancient dynasty - the Beichen clan has arrived!"
At the bottom of the mountain, someone announced loudly, which immediately attracted countless eyes. One of today's protagonists has finally arrived.
What makes people look weird is that as the host of the Chu family, except for some unofficial descendants, there are no important people in power. This makes people a little curious. What does the Chu family mean by doing this?
Is he afraid, or is he deliberately not giving the Beichen family face?
Everyone knows that the real protagonists of this game are the Chu family and Xuanyuan of the ancient dynasty.
However, the real core figures of Xuanyuan from the ancient dynasty did not arrive, but the Beichen clan was sent here. Everyone was speculating, could it be that... the Chu family felt that the Beichen clan was not qualified enough for them to welcome them or wait here.
?
Is this a direct choice to break up the relationship without even doing any superficial work?
If that's the case, then today would be really exciting.
"The Chu family is arrogant." Someone whispered in the secret, disdainfully: "Do you still think of yourself as one of the eight aristocratic families? It's ridiculous." (To be continued)
