"...Otherwise, let's replace the seats of the five major families."
The expressions of the Xue and Mo families changed slightly, and even the expressions of the spies from the other three aristocratic families who were hiding among the crowd also changed.
The palace master's words were obviously not directed at these two families alone, but at the five major families in Licheng!
The expressions of everyone around were changing. They had long heard that the City Lord's Mansion was so powerful, but no one expected that he could be so domineering! He didn't give any face to him when he accused him in public.
However, what is even more shocking is that at this moment, neither the Xue family nor the Mo family refuted anything.
"The water in the City Lord's Mansion is very deep!"
Zhong Li said, it was because of this that the Zhong family was suppressed and fell into rapid decline.
The farce ended. Luo Chen felt bored and left with Zhong Li.
"What is the Royal City Competition?"
Luo Chen was curious, holding a cup of soy milk in his hand, rubbing it back and forth to warm his hands.
"The top ten royal cities under the Tiandou Empire are not static. Each of the top ten royal cities has its own ranking. Although Licheng is a royal city, it has been at the bottom for almost thirty years.
This is the last season. If Licheng is still at the bottom in this year’s royal city competition, it will be directly kicked out of the top ten royal cities.”
Luo Chen was surprised, no wonder the palace master of Licheng was so angry. Once Licheng was kicked out of the top ten royal cities, then the so-called palace master would cease to exist in name only. For such a powerful person, other things are no longer important.
, but this is a matter of great importance to one’s own face!
"Isn't it possible that Licheng's strength can't reverse this reverse situation?"
"It's not that simple. If we talk about the overall strength, Licheng may not be weaker than other royal cities. However, the so-called royal city competition is not a battle between high-level officials. The royal city competition is not a national war, but just a competition among the younger generation.
"
Zhong Li shook his head, and Luo Chen suddenly realized.
"No matter how powerful the five major families are, they are just newly emerged aristocratic families. They may appear to be strong, but in fact they are just empty shells."
Zhong Li disdains that newly emerging super families like the Five Great Families may seem huge, but they have insufficient foundation!
Although the five major families are forcibly supported by high-level forces, there are signs of disconnection among the middle and lower-level forces within the families.
Once the Royal City Competition begins, no surprise, Licheng is still at the bottom! And according to the regulations of previous years, a different Royal City will be selected as the competition point every three years for the Royal City Competition. If I remember correctly, the ranking of this King City Competition is
The war was set up in Li City!
The Royal City Competition, also known as the Hundred Battles, has ten people participating in the battle from each city, exactly one hundred people!
If we were to follow the previous terms, these ten places would have been selected long ago, but this time there has been no action at all.
After returning to Zhong Mansion, Luo Chen went back to his room, feeling the changes in the soul power in his body, but he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.
Swallowing fighting souls became even more mysterious after devouring Moji's soul power and fighting souls. Not only that, the swallowed soul power did not simply replenish his missing soul power, but in some way
It enhanced his cultivation to a great extent!
It is simply unheard of to absorb the soul power of others and feed it back to oneself to quickly improve one's own realm. The improvement of one's cultivation realm is a process of accumulation of soul power, even for some geniuses with extraordinary talents.
However, according to his estimation, with his current cultivation speed, it is absolutely impossible to break through the shackles of two-star soul power and reach the three-star soul fighting master realm in less than a year or two. Of course, if there are sufficient training resources, that is another matter.
.
However, at this moment, he discovered that the soul power in his body had increased significantly after being fed back! He had a feeling that if he desperately devoured other people's soul power and fighting souls to improve his own strength, his cultivation would definitely be able to
One step for a thousand miles!
However, once this is done, it will definitely cause endless killing! It will also definitely cause panic in the Soul Fighting Continent!
Forcibly suppressing the restlessness in my heart, the second fighting spirit in my body is too terrifying, and it must not be exposed as a last resort!
On the bed, Luo Chen breathed evenly. With every breath and breath, all the soul power from heaven and earth was sucked into his body. However, under the devouring fighting soul, only a few tenths of it was actually taken into the first fighting soul.
Just one of them.
Such a cultivation speed is nearly ten times slower than ordinary people! Luo Chen smiled bitterly, only by working ten times harder can he catch up with the cultivation speed of others.
The roads are blocked by heavy snow, so it is impossible to go to the martial arts academy this year. Now that the freshman assessment competition has ended long ago, if you want to enter the academy, you can only wait for next year.
There was a riot among the soul beasts in the Soul Beast Hall, and many powerful people died. It is said that a fourth-level soul beast ran out a few days ago, injuring many people, and was eventually shot to death on the street.
This is the royal city! If it were a fourth-level soul beast in Wuling County, it would have been a river of blood. However, in Licheng, it was just a casual thing.
On this day, Luo Chen, who had woken up from practicing, heard some commotion outside. After opening the door, he saw many people outside the Zhong family's annex.
Luo Chen frowned, it had not been so lively for a long time since the fall of the Zhong family.
In the lobby of the Clock Mansion, Zhong Xian'er frowned, while Liu Sheng played with the tea cup in his hand boredly. When Luo Chen stepped in, he waved to him.
"What's going on? Has the matter been exposed?"
Luo Chen was worried and sent a message.
"Revealed what?"
Liu Sheng looked at Luo Chen with a half-smile, he was in a very good mood and showed his signature cynicism.
"Who are these people?"
"They are just some wallflowers. The Zhong family is about to take off, so we came to get close to them."
"take off?"
"Have you heard of the Royal City Competition? I don't know if the head of Licheng Palace was squeezed by the door. He actually handed over all matters of this year's Royal City Competition to the Zhong family. No, this one
But they are all here to give gifts.
Hearing this, Luo Chen suddenly realized.
"What does Sister Xian'er mean?"
"What else could there be in it? Naturally I agreed. For the Zhong family today, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Since the City Lord's Palace has handed over the matter of the Royal City Competition to the Zhong family, it means that it does not accept the past.
, if Licheng can improve its ranking in the Royal City Competition this year, it is possible for the Zhong family to rise."
"I still don't quite understand. This year's Royal City Competition is about the ownership of the Royal City of Licheng. For such a big matter, even if the city lord's palace is to be left to the following, the five major families should be the first choice. If we skip it directly, aren't we afraid of the five major families?
Is the family dissatisfied?"
Luo Chen is worried. In his opinion, this matter is a disaster rather than a blessing for the Zhong family. Once the five major families make some small moves secretly, what awaits the Zhong family will be doomed!
"Don't worry, they don't have the courage yet. Have you seen the rows of city guards in the Zhong Mansion? Those are not ordinary guards. If I read it correctly, these should be the black armored guards of the City Lord's Mansion, individually
Having experienced many battles, the attitude of the City Lord's Mansion has been very clear. At this time, the five major families will not be stupid enough to raise such eyebrows.
Among the younger generation in Licheng, Xian'er is definitely the number one, and it is most appropriate for her to be in charge of this royal city competition.
While he was talking, there was a commotion outside the Zhong Mansion again, and there was an endless stream of aristocratic families who came to congratulate him. Even those aristocratic families who usually looked coldly and sarcastically towards the Zhong family had to put down their dignity.
Someone from the Mo family came, and the leader turned out to be the chief steward of the Mo family! There was a small commotion in the hall of the Zhong Mansion. Everyone stood up from their seats to greet them, even Zhong Xian'er was no exception. However, Yagyu was the only one who was an outlier. At this time, this guy had his legs crossed and his head lowered while drinking tea from the cup. His casual look attracted many incredible eyes.
"This guy!"
Zhong Xian'er gritted her teeth secretly, but she had no choice but to do so. As the eldest son of the Liu family, her status was extremely noble, let alone a mere manager. Even if the head of the Mo family came in person, it would depend on his mood at this time.
"He's so crazy!"
Zhong Li muttered on the side, and Luo Chen smiled bitterly, who made him the eldest son of the Liu family in the imperial city?
"Watch what I do?"
There was a brief moment of silence in the hall, and everyone's eyes fell on him. Who is this young man? He is too rude!
You know, that is the chief executive of the Mohist family! Every word and deed represents the Mohist family!
Yagyu frowned. As soon as he said this, everyone around him was stunned. Idiot? What are you doing? Didn't you see that the masters stood up to greet me? You're lucky, you even crossed your legs.
"I wonder which family this young master is from?"
Someone spoke, breaking the silence for a moment.
Liu Sheng was too lazy to pay attention and chose to ignore it. A surge of anger arose in the man's heart, but it was not easy to explode on the spot. He could only continue: "The people who came to visit the Zhong family today are all famous people in Licheng!"
Although this remark sounds polite, it is full of irony and has a great meaning.
However, at this time, Yagyu still didn't pay attention, and instead hummed a ditty directly. When the man saw this, his face turned the color of pig liver. How much disregard and contempt was shown at this time?
"presumptuous!"
The anger in my heart was ignited at this moment, and I saw the man hugging his fists at Zhong Xian'er first, and then said: "This man is arrogant and rude, and I don't know which dude he is. I suggest you throw him out directly." .”
"Can.
Zhong Xian'er spoke, but there was a trace of ridicule on the corner of her mouth.
As for the powerful manager of the Mo family, he never spoke from the beginning to the end and just stood there quietly. With his status, even if he didn't need to speak, there would naturally be people who would fawn over him to deal with this disrespectful thing.
"Please."
The man was overjoyed. The Zhong family had no objections, and the Mo family had no objection at all. They obviously acquiesced to his approach. With confidence in his heart, he immediately issued an eviction order just like the master!
This style of behavior obviously has a bit of fake power. It is definitely a villain's menstruation, which is disgusting. However, at this time, everyone can only look at it coldly, and no one dares to say anything. After all, this person is in the name of the Mohist family. Chasing people.(To be continued)
