Going to Tianshen Mansion to serve as a guard, and then rescuing his father and Xiao Lei, is Chen Dong's goal in the Fire Continent.
But one can imagine how surprised Ma Xiao was when he heard this request, and immediately asked: "Why?"
Of course, Chen Dong had already thought of the reasons for this issue.
"Because the God of Fire is the person I admire the most." Chen Dong said seriously: "I want to work next to him, get close to him, and pay homage to him."
As long as he can enter the Tianshen Mansion and possess Ruyi Pei, he can sneak into the prison and take away Chen Dahong and Xiao Lei.
Ma Xiao's expression became solemn: "You are willing to come to me just to enter the God's Mansion?"
"Yes." Chen Dong said bluntly: "I have inquired. If you want to enter the Tianshen Mansion, you must be personally recommended by the Great Elder. And you are the king under the Great Elder, and you have considerable say in front of the Great Elder... King
Your Majesty, please grant my request."
Ma Xiao looked at Chen Dong puzzledly.
Being a guard in the God's Mansion and being the person next to the God of Fire is certainly a majestic and dignified thing.
But there is no freedom in being a leader...
Of course, everyone has their own ambitions and cannot be forced. Some people just want to work in Tianshen Mansion. That is also normal behavior and needs.
But Ma Xiao was still a little angry: "If I knew you wanted to be a guard at Tianshen Mansion, I wouldn't have poached you! Do you know what I paid for Emperor Xinghuo?!"
Chen Dong lowered his head and said solemnly: "Your Majesty the King, I'm really sorry, I really want to work in Tianshen Mansion... Is this okay? I will give you double the amount of money you spent on Emperor Xinghuo.
Everything is fine..."
"Absurd!" Ma Xiao slammed the table with a bang, which made the tea cup tremble a few times. "Do you think this kind of thing can be done if you have money? How many favors do I need to get in!"
Chen Dong didn't know what to say, so he could only remain silent.
He also wondered whether he had brought it up too early, which aroused Ma Xiao's strong resentment.
He wanted to say something to lighten the atmosphere, but when the words came to his lips, he realized that in this situation, nothing he could say was appropriate.
So he had no choice but to keep his head down.
After an unknown amount of time, Ma Xiao sighed and said, "Commander Yu, do you know why I tried every possible means to poach you?"
Chen Dong raised his head and looked at Ma Xiao doubtfully.
Ma Xiao continued: "Do you know how many kingdoms there are in the Fire Continent?"
Chen Dong thought for a while and said: "There are six kingdoms in the Fire Continent."
Ma Xiao asked again: "Which kingdom is the strongest among them?"
Chen Dong thought for a while and said: "Of course they are the Fire Rock Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom. As the great elder of the Fire Sect, Emperor Xuanhuo, these two kingdoms under his command, are the strongest in the Fire Sect!"
Hearing such praise, Ma Xiao smiled bitterly: "Are the Fire Rock Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom the strongest? Every time someone says that, I feel very embarrassed, because I know very well that I am not qualified to fight Luo Luo.
Side by side, he is stronger than me, and his commanders are also stronger than my commanders!"
Luo Zhan is naturally the king of the Fire Kingdom. It is said that his strength has reached the seventh level of heaven!
Truly the strongest among the strong.
Two of his commanders are already at the fifth level of Heaven-reaching peak, and are only one short of a Vulcan Pearl to reach the sixth-level Heaven-reaching Peak.
"As a king under Emperor Xuanhuo, I have been oppressed by Luo Zhan all these years..." Ma Xiao continued quietly: "In the 'Command Competition' held every three years, the Fire Rock Kingdom succumbs to the Fire Kingdom.
Next, Cheng Yuan used to help me support my appearance, but now he is dead... Of course, even if he doesn't die, he is still qualified to be the king. I am even weaker now. I probably won't even get second place this year. I will fall to
The third and fourth went."
Leader Cup?
Chen Dong had indeed heard of this matter, because in recent years the rise of the Suo Shen Hui had caused a lot of trouble to the Ruyi Sect. The Ruyi Sect finally realized that the once carefree days had passed, and they had to put away their carefree thoughts in the past.
Get nervous and fight!
The Leader Cup is the product of this background.
Because the leaders are basically fifth-level Tongtian and are the absolute backbone of the Ruyi Sect, it is necessary to encourage them to grow.
The previous martial arts competitions held by You Hao could only be regarded as small fights and military exercises.
The Commander's Cup is a major event in the entire Fire Sect. Not only does each commander show his prominence, but it also affects the ranking of each kingdom.
Those who can come out on top in the Leader's Cup will of course be rewarded generously, but the most important thing for everyone is face.
The Fire Rock Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom are said to be tied for the strongest, but after several "Domination Cups", the Fire Rock Kingdom has always been ranked lower than the Fire Kingdom.
This time the Commander's Cup was about to start, and Cheng Yuan died again - even if he hadn't died, he would have reached level six and lost the qualification to participate in the Commander's Cup, so Ma Xiao put all his hopes on Chen Dong.
In fact, this is one of the reasons why You Hao is sure that Ma Xiao will be interested in Chen Dong.
As a result, on the first day he took office, Chen Dong said that he wanted to be a guard at Tianshen Mansion. How could Ma Xiao not be angry? How could he not get angry?
"You should wait until the Commander's Cup is over before going to the Tianshen Mansion!" Ma Xiao looked at Chen Dong helplessly.
These words made Chen Dong feel quite embarrassed.
Chen Dong immediately nodded and said: "Your Majesty the King, I was negligent...Okay, I will participate in the Commander's Cup and help you get first place! But afterwards, you must help me enter the God's Mansion..."
Hearing this, Ma Xiao said dumbfounded: "First? Do you think it's that easy to win? Defeating Cheng Yuan is indeed considered your ability, but there are people who are better than Cheng Yuan. For example, Xi Hanxi of the Fire Kingdom
Commander, don't look at him. Like Cheng Yuan before, he is also a
He is at the peak of Level 5 Sky-reaching, but he not only mastered a Tiandao-level martial skill, but also a Tiandao-level weapon... Moreover, he has obtained the Fire God Pearl and can reach Sky-reaching level 6 in minutes. However, in order to participate in this Commander's Cup, he
, I deliberately delayed my upgrade..."
Speaking of this, Ma Xiao suddenly remembered something and said in surprise: "Is Cheng Yuan's Tianshu Sword also a Tiandao-level weapon?"
Chen Dong nodded: "Yes."
Ma Xiao was naturally very happy and laughed loudly: "That's no problem. If you use the secret technique again, you will definitely defeat Xi Han! Okay, I promise you, as long as you can come out on top in the Commander's Cup, I will
I’ll find a way to send you to the God’s Mansion!”
Chen Dong exhaled and said loudly: "It's a deal!"
In fact, Chen Dong, who has reached level 6, naturally doesn't take the Commander Cup seriously.
In his opinion, this is like novices pecking each other. When the time comes, he can easily win the Commander's Cup without even using his full strength.
Tianshen Mansion is already close at hand!
Ma Xiao continued to say happily: "Because He Chuan disappeared and Cheng Yuan's body was stolen, it can be seen that the activities of the God-seeking Society have been frequent recently. The God of Fire attaches great importance to this Commander's Cup, excluding the previous fixed bonus of two billion
In addition to the spirit stones, I also added a Tiandao-level martial skill! I have some rumors, it seems to be defensive..."
Defensive Tiandao-level martial arts!
Chen Dong's heart was pounding. He knew very well how rare Tiandao-level martial arts were. Even if you had money, you might not be able to buy them. He had previously won "Fire and Thunder" because it was considered useless by others.
Gave him a chance to pick up the slack.
The sloppy Taoist gathered a Tiandao-level weapon and traveled to countless planets...
Now, as long as you win the Commander's Cup, you can get defensive Tiandao-level martial arts... What's the difference between this and giving it away for free?
What's more, there is a reward of two billion spirit stones!
If Chen Dong promised Ma Xiao before, it was just to complete the task.
So now, for myself, I must win this championship!
Chen Dong immediately said with a firm look: "Okay, I'll go back and prepare for the battle... How long will it take for the Commander's Cup?"
Although he had heard of the Commander's Cup before, he did not inquire too much about the information because he was preoccupied with entering the God's Mansion.
Seeing Chen Dong's high morale, Ma Xiao couldn't help but be happy, and immediately said: "One week!"
"Okay, I'll go back to Ping'an County first and come back in a week!"
Chen Dong turned around and left.
Looking at Chen Dong's leaving figure, Ma Xiao naturally smiled.
The Fire Rock Kingdom can finally feel proud and proud.
…
Fire Rock City, outside the palace gate.
The full moon hangs high in the sky, its silver light shining brightly.
Sitting on a laurel tree about a hundred meters high was a middle-aged man with a face like a crown, dressed in white, and an emerald-green flute hanging from his waist.
He just sat there quietly, with an indifferent smile on his face, as if he was waiting for someone.
At this moment, a young man hurriedly walked out of the palace.
"Here we come, Commander Yu..."
The middle-aged man smiled even more happily, and with a casual move with one hand, a touch of fire ignited in his hand.
Then, he swung again.
The fire was like a shooting star, flying quickly towards Chen Dong's body, making a clear "whirring" sound in the air.
Chen Dong was still in a state of excitement, thinking that he would soon be able to acquire a defensive Tiandao-level martial skill, and he wished he could dance a ballet on the spot. The stronger he became, the more confident he would be when saving his father and Xiao Lei in the future.
He didn't notice the raging fire flying towards him at all.
Maybe it's because the man in white doesn't have any murderous intent.
It wasn't until the fire approached and illuminated a small area of the sky that Chen Dong took a step back in surprise.
"puff--"
The fierce fire hit in front of Chen Dong's toes, burning a large piece of bluestone black.
"Who?!" Chen Dong immediately raised his head and looked at the direction where the fire was coming from.
A man in white clothes leisurely fell from the tree, holding an emerald green flute in his hand.
But he didn't speak after he landed. Instead, he put the flute across his mouth and played the tune gently.
Beautiful music suddenly spread all around.
"Who the hell are you?!" Chen Dong was a little impatient. He hated people who pretended to be mysterious.
"Fire Kingdom, Grand Commander of Bei'an County, Xi Han!" The man in white put down his flute and smiled slightly: "I heard that King Fire Rock specially spent a lot of money to invite a powerful commander to show off in the Commander's Cup.
Weifeng, I came here specially to see who it is, and to learn your clever tricks... I just tried it, and you quite disappointed me..."
But before he finished speaking, Chen Dong suddenly raised his hand, and a purple flame immediately shot out.
Xihan was completely unprepared.
"ah--"
Xihan was hit by the fire, his whole body flew backwards, and fell heavily to the ground with a "bang".
"You disappoint me too." Chen Dong snorted coldly.
