In the next few days, Liantian City became increasingly lively and noisy.
Hundreds of thousands of people are all discussing the emperor's selection of concubines and the emperor's selection of the lord of Tianchen Territory.
Many powerful human beings and more than a dozen emperor's sons are temporarily staying in Liantian City, waiting for news from the emperor's court.
Ji Tianxing has been practicing in Yunlan Courtyard in a secret room and has never shown his face.
The noise and turmoil of the outside world have nothing to do with him.
Ever since he advanced to the Tianyuan realm, his strength improvement speed has become much slower.
Even with the help of Zangtian, who provided him with majestic power, it still took him a full five days to increase his strength by 40%.
That morning, his strength finally made a breakthrough, and he reached the second level of Tianyuan Realm naturally.
Although, in the eyes of others, he had only advanced to the Tianyuan realm for about a month, and he had already risen to another level.
Only he himself knows how much hardship and effort he has put in to improve this level of strength.
In the early morning of this day, he finished practicing Yungong and opened his eyes.
"The Feathered Dzi Bead that Master gave me originally contained the four hundred years of Qingtian's skill.
That majestic skill allowed me to reach the second level of Tianyuan Realm from the fifth level of Yuan Dan Realm within a few months, and also allowed Zangtian to regain 30% of his strength.
After several months of consumption, the four hundred years of skill have been exhausted.
Next, the speed at which my strength improves will become even slower and more difficult."
Ji Tianxing thought to himself, his expression a little solemn.
After a while, he stood up and walked out of the secret room, entering Shuiyun Palace to look for Yunyao.
Yunyao has also been practicing in seclusion for five days, and her strength has been greatly improved.
After the two met and talked for a while, they left Yunlan Villa together and walked outside Liantian City.
"Tianxing, this Yunlan Villa is guarded by strong men, and there are many guards and formations. The assassins hiding in the dark dare not attack rashly.
If this is the case, then we will take the initiative and go outside the city to lure them out.
I have already made arrangements for Yunluo to follow us secretly and be ready to support us at any time."
While rushing to the outside of Liantian City, Yunyao did not forget to use her spiritual sense to transmit the message and introduce the situation to Ji Tianxing.
Ji Tianxing listened silently and walked side by side with her on the street. On the surface, he seemed to be strolling, but in fact, he was secretly paying attention to what was going on around him.
Unknowingly, an hour passed quickly.
Ji Tianxing and Yunyao passed through the towering North City Gate and left Liantian City.
Outside the city are vast mountains.
Nearby are green grasslands, and in the distance are dark green mountains, like giant black-brown dragons, lying prone between heaven and earth.
Ji Tianxing and Yunyao crossed a mountain peak, and their figures quickly disappeared into the mountains.
The two of them were walking leisurely through the mountains, looking like they were sightseeing and enjoying themselves.
However, half an hour passed and no mysterious assassin appeared.
On the top of a mountain ahead, however, several figures caught Ji Tianxing's eyes.
Although he was several miles away, he could still see the scene on the top of the mountain.
I saw five men with strong auras surrounding four men and women, shouting and cursing something arrogantly.
"Let's go over and take a look."
Ji Tianxing flapped his golden wings and pulled Yun Yao to fly across the sky, flying toward the mountain peak as fast as light.
When the two landed on the top of the mountain, they saw clearly the appearance of the two groups of people and heard their voices.
Among the five aggressive men, there were four middle-aged men, all masters at the seventh or eighth level of the Yuan Dan Realm.
These four people were all dressed as escorts, surrounded by a richly dressed young man.
The young man was wearing a brocade robe, had oily hair and a pink face, and exuded a arrogant and arrogant air.
He is obviously the kind of playboy with no knowledge and skills, but he still wears a jade crown and holds a folding fan in his hand, pretending to be a handsome young man.
In another group of people, there were three men and one woman.
Three of the middle-aged men were all wearing black robes, holding swords with flashing cold light in their hands, and they joined forces to protect a pure and beautiful woman.
These four people are all dignified in appearance and dignified manners. At first glance, they are warriors from famous and upright families.
It's a pity that the three men in black robes only have the sixth level of Yuan Dan realm.
And the stunning woman they protected was only at the fifth level of the Yuan Dan realm.
The two sides were in a stalemate in the open space on the top of the mountain. The three black-robed warriors wanted to protect the stunning woman and leave, but they were unable to escape.
The dandy young man waved his folding fan and stared at the stunning woman with gleaming eyes, looking salivating.
He had a malicious smile on his face and said in a frivolous tone: "Miss Lan, I have heard of your name for a long time and have always wanted to see your face. Today I finally got my wish.
This Liantian City is my young master's territory. Now that Miss Lan has come here, how can she leave in a hurry?
I would also like to ask Miss Lan to honor you and come to my young master’s residence as a guest. I will definitely entertain you well...hehehehe."
Lan Huixin didn't speak, but the three black-robed warriors shouted angrily: "Fourth Young Master Qin, we have no enmity with you, why are you so aggressive?"
"We are temporarily staying in Liantian City, but you are pestering Miss Lan all day long."
"Now that we are forced to leave Liantian City, you still chase us here. Why are you so shameless?"
"You guys, don't you just covet the beauty of Miss Lan? Miss Lan is a candidate for the Heavenly Concubine, how can you pursue her?"
The dandy young man known as Fourth Young Master Qin suddenly grinned and sneered ferociously.
"Haha, you three stupid geese are just deacons of the Changtian Sect, and you are nothing in front of this young master!
When I was in the city before, I took my status and face into consideration and didn't care about you.
But now, outside Liantian City, you still dare to talk to me like this, you are really a fool who doesn’t know how to live or die!"
After sneering, Fourth Young Master Qin's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he ordered the four guards behind him: "Come on, kill those three stupid donkeys!"
The four guards immediately showed a ferocious sneer, with cold murderous intent bursting out from their bodies, and swung their swords towards the three black-robed deacons.
“Bang bang bang!”
More than a dozen dazzling sword lights lit up, and a strong wind blew on the top of the mountain, causing a series of muffled sounds.
After a few exchanges between the two sides, the three black-robed deacons were knocked out and fell to the grass covered in blood.
The four guards swarmed forward again, swung their swords and slashed out more than a dozen rays of sword light, drowning the three black-robed deacons.
Suddenly, blood spattered on the grass, huge ravines were cut on the ground, and sand and dust flew into the sky.
There was a huge difference in strength between the two sides. The three black-robed deacons were unable to stop the four guards, and they were all killed in a matter of seconds.
Lan Huixin, who was wearing a long brocade dress, saw the three deacons being killed on the spot, and her eyes were split with rage.
"Fourth Young Master Qin, you beast, I will fight with you!"
With tears in her heart, Lan Hui let out a cry of despair and brandished her sword to kill Qin Fourth Young Master.
However, as soon as she rushed a few steps away, she was stopped by two guards.
"Whoa!"
The sword in her hand was taken away, and several acupoints on her neck and back were sealed.
Suddenly, her body froze in place, unable to move.
Fourth Young Master Qin walked up to her with a smile, stretched out his hand to caress her pretty face, and said proudly: "Lan Huixin, the emperor doesn't want you, but I am willing to marry you!
For a lowly person like you from the South China Sea, it is your good fortune that this young master can take a liking to your beauty!
If you know the truth and obey me obediently, I will give you the status of a matchmaker.
If you don't eat the toast and drink it as a penalty, then don't blame me for using force on you!
When this young master takes you back to my house to be my concubine, you will be reduced to my young master’s plaything for the rest of your life..."
