Lu Zhi nodded and said, and the expression on his face became complicated.
Originally, according to the rules of previous years, the final number of participants in the Fenghua Banquet was 30 people, and these 30 people were all carefully selected by the major forces.
This time this year, it was suddenly announced that the rules would be changed.
There is no quota limit for this Fenghua Banquet. Any warrior under the age of twenty-two can participate. This means that the competition for this Fenghua Banquet will become extremely cruel.
Moreover, it was even rumored that the Fenghua Banquet would be held in the form of a life and death battle.
The person who made the suggestion is the current Queen Xia.
"The open quota has been decided, but the life and death battle has not yet been decided." Lu Zhi couldn't help but shake his head at this time.
The rules of Fenghua Banquet have been implemented for nearly 200 years, but this sudden change has made people have some reveries.
Empress Xia wanted to take advantage of the changes in the rules of the Fenghua Banquet to carry out a thorough purge, and the target of the purge was undoubtedly Chu Zichen's power.
Moreover, the method of purging this time was very clever, directly attacking the young talents of those forces, so that Chu Zichen's force lost its future and was unable to recover.
"Emperor Chu's health is deteriorating, so this grand banquet will probably be a battle for the throne." Lu Zhi sighed.
At this time, Lu Jingyun, Tang Lin and others finally understood why Ruo Yan approached Chen Xuan and offered to help Chu Zichen ascend to the throne of Chu Emperor.
The Fenghua Banquet is Chu Zichen's last chance to ascend to the throne of Chu Emperor. If he fails, Chu Zichen will die.
"Tang Lin, you and Qian Fan will accompany Chen Xuan this time." Lu Zhi looked at Tang Lin and Qian Fan and said.
At this time, Tang Lin and Qian Fan's strength has made great progress after this period of practice.
Qian Fan was already at the ninth level of the Xiantian Realm at this time, and the power of his bloodline was greatly activated, so he could be said to be extremely powerful.
And Tang Lin's talent is even more outstanding. She is only seventeen years old, and she will definitely be able to enter the Lingwu realm before the Fenghua Banquet begins. Moreover, her martial spirit is actually of the Earth level, which is almost the best in Chu country, and above it.
There will never be more than three people.
…………
As time passed day by day, the time for the Fenghua Banquet was getting closer and closer, and the Cangxing Tower became deserted.
Seven days later will be the day when the Fenghua Banquet begins, and at this time all the young talents participating in the Fenghua Banquet have already appeared in Chu Capital.
However, extremely shocking news spread within Cangxuan Academy. Chen Xuan died in Cangxing Tower.
Luo Tian looked at Cangxing Tower from a distance. At this time, Chen Xuan's breath was gone in Cangxing Tower.
"I didn't expect that before I could take action, you died in the ninth starry sky."
Luo Tian's expression at this time was calm, neither happy nor sad.
Chen Xuan stepped into the ninth layer of starry sky, and two months had passed quietly.
When Chen Xuan first entered the ninth-level starry sky, he could still feel Chen Xuan's aura inside the Cangxing Tower.
But sixteen days later, Chen Xuan's aura suddenly disappeared.
This represents a possibility that Chen Xuan may have died under the attack of the Nine Starry Sky.
After all, Luo Tian once said that he could only stay within the nine-layer starry sky for fifteen days. If he stayed for more than fifteen days, he would die on the spot, or he would be seriously injured and lose all his cultivation.
The sudden disappearance of Chen Xuan's aura means that he may have died within the ninth starry sky.
At this time, it was the sixtieth day that Chen Xuan entered the nine-layer starry sky. Most people in Cangxuan Academy thought that Chen Xuan had already died under the weight of the nine-layer starry sky.
"It's really funny. I thought I could teach you a lesson at the Fenghua Banquet, but I didn't expect you to die in the tower. It's so funny." Jiang Ye laughed loudly at this time.
He felt that he was extremely ridiculous, and regarded Chen Xuan as his opponent. He never stopped practicing for a moment, and finally entered the second level of the Lingwu Realm today.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan died in Cangxing Tower. It was really ridiculous.
"Palace Master, this is impossible. Chen Xuan could not have died in the tower." Tang Lin looked extremely depressed at this time.
Today Tang Lin was the third person to successfully enter the Nine Starry Sky, but when she entered the Nine Starry Sky, Chen Xuan had already disappeared.
She wanted to cross the nine-story starry sky and enter the top of the tower to find Chen Xuan, but she failed in the end.
She walked out of Cangxing Tower lonely, she still didn't believe that Chen Xuan was dead.
The news of Chen Xuan's death was so sudden that no one believed it at first.
But today, Tang Lin entered the ninth starry sky and confirmed that Chen Xuan had disappeared. The news of Chen Xuan's death convinced everyone that Chen Xuan was indeed dead.
"Tang Lin, don't worry, I believe he is not dead. This kid often does things that open our eyes, so I believe it will be the same this time." Qian Fan also said at this time.
"I don't believe this is true either." Lu Jingyun couldn't help but shake her head, with a little tear shining in her eyes, "You died before you taught me all the alchemy skills. I absolutely don't believe it."
Lu Zhi was also caught off guard by the sudden news.
"If he hadn't died, where would he have gone? Could it be that he had already passed through the ninth layer of starry sky and reached the top of the Cangxing Tower. If so, why was the top of the Cangxing Tower not lit up?" Lu Zhi also had a very expression on his face.
of solemnity.
He didn't believe that Chen Xuan was dead, but where did Chen Xuan go?
You want to see people when you are alive, and you want to see corpses when you are dead.
But now there is no one alive or dead in Chen Xuan's body. This can only be considered that Chen Xuan disappeared or died in the starry sky without any bones left.
The news of Chen Xuan's death soon spread throughout Chudu.
Inside the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce, Qin Shuhua was looking at Mr. Wei in front of him in astonishment.
"Miss, Chen Xuan's death was confirmed today, and Tang Lin failed to find Chen Xuan." Wei Lao conveyed the news about Tang Lin to Qin Shuhua.
"Brother Xuan, he actually..." Qin Shuhua was completely stunned.
Chen Xuan's death was confirmed.
In the Lingbing Pavilion, Cao Tianping looked at the spirit pattern left by Chen Xuan with a look of astonishment on his face.
"Master, how could he..." Cao Tianping was stunned after receiving the exact news.
Because of Chen Xuan's guidance, his level of refining spiritual patterns has made great progress, and more importantly, he has completely controlled the soul flame.
"This is the most ridiculous thing in the world. Master, there is absolutely no way he could die." Cao Tianping shouted loudly. He did not believe that Chen Xuan was dead.
In Tiansheng Academy, Yun Qingya looked at Yun Qingwei with a calm face.
At this time, Yun Qingwei told her the news that Chen Xuan was dead.
"He and I are not from the same world, and his death has nothing to do with me." Yun Qingya just responded very calmly and was about to send Yun Qingwei away.
Indeed, Chen Xuan, she no longer pays attention to him, whether he is alive or dead has nothing to do with her.
"Sister, don't be like this. No matter what, if that annoying Chen Xuan is dead, I will be much safer." Yun Qingwei looked a little happy at this time.
Chen Xuan, the thorn in her side and the thorn in her flesh, finally died.
"The matter between you and the prince will be settled by yourself." Yun Qingya didn't want to talk to her sister anymore.
When Yun Qingwei heard the word "prince", her expression became extremely resentful. At this time, the prince already had a new love, so he kicked her away. It was impossible for her to see the prince now.
The news of Chen Xuan's death appeared in Chudu as a minor incident, and soon it stopped attracting attention. These people focused all their attention on the Fenghua Banquet seven days later.
