Under the gaze of everyone, the captain of the imperial guard read out the edict loudly.
"The first candidate, Duanmu Yulong, is thirty-two years old. He is the emperor's son in the imperial palace and ranks ninth among the many emperors' sons.
Duanmu Yulong was born in the Duanmu family and is the legitimate son of the Duanmu family. He possesses the sixth level of Tianyuan realm strength..."
The identity information and strength level of the ten candidates selected by the Imperial Court will be announced, so as to demonstrate the fairness and openness of the Imperial Court.
The people in the square immediately started a noisy discussion after hearing Duanmu Yulong's name.
"The legitimate son of the Duanmu family? And the ninth-ranked emperor? Isn't this too noble and powerful?"
"As I expected, the candidates selected by the Imperial Court must not only have extraordinary talents and strong strength, but also have a profound power background!"
"Of course! No matter how strong a genius is, his strength is very limited. Without the support of a strong power background, how can he serve as the leader of a region?"
"Yes! Today's eight Territory Lords are all top experts and have strong power backgrounds. Only in this way can we secure our position as Territory Lords."
After Ji Tianxing heard the edict announced by the captain of the imperial guard, he frowned slightly, and a gloom flashed in his eyes.
Kunwu turned to look at him and said in a serious tone: "Ji Tianxing, if you compete for the position of Territory Lord, Duanmu Yulong will definitely be one of your strong enemies."
Ji Tianxing understood this, but didn't say anything more and just nodded.
After the discussion of tens of thousands of people subsided, the captain of the imperial guard continued: "The second candidate, Qianshan Zhenwu, is fifty years old.
Qianshan Zhenwu is the eldest son of the Qianshan family and is currently the lord of Yanyi City. He possesses the seventh level of Tianyuan Realm strength..."
After hearing this name, many people once again burst into heated discussions.
"The Qianshan family? Is it the Qianshan family that looms large in the ancient realm of Qianshan and has a history of hundreds of years?"
"The Qianshan family is a wealthy family second only to the three major aristocratic families, and it is also an ancient aristocratic family with a powerful heritage!"
"Qianshan Zhenwu? This is also a man of great influence!"
"In the years since he served as the Lord of Yanyi City, he has done several major things that caused a sensation in Zhongzhou. He is a capable and capable genius!"
"It's a pity that Qianshan Zhenwu was already over thirty years old when he reached the Tianyuan realm, otherwise he would definitely be able to enter the emperor's palace and become the noble son of the emperor."
"Qianshan Zhenwu is already the city lord of Yanyi City. If he becomes the lord of Tianchen Territory this time, the power of the Qianshan family will be greatly increased."
"Duanmu Yulong is the genius emperor's son, and Qianshan Zhenwu is a long-famous Tianyuan strongman. Both of them are too strong. It seems that the master of Tianchen Territory will definitely decide between them."
"If Qianshan Zhenwu can become the Lord of Tianchen Territory, the Qianshan family's power will increase dramatically, and it is likely to become the fourth largest family."
Ji Tianxing listened to the people's discussions and remembered the name Qianshan Zhenwu in his heart.
"The city lord of Yanyi City, the seventh level of Tianyuan Realm strength!"
He murmured silently, his expression becoming more solemn.
Next, the captain of the Imperial Guard continued: "The third candidate, Yu Zhengfei, is the legitimate son of the Yu family in Jiangyuan City and possesses the fifth level of Tianyuan Realm strength.
The Yu family has been guarding the border for generations. They have been loyal and martyrs for five generations, and they are indeed role models for our family's soldiers.
Yu Zhengfei had been at the battlefield of Xihuang for fifteen years and had made more than a hundred military exploits, large and small. He was the successor of Zhongliang and a tiger general in the army..."
Many people in the square started talking again after hearing Yu Zhengfei's name.
Although many people are not familiar with the battlefields of Donglin and Xihuang, and have never heard of Yu Zhengfei's name.
But the Yu family in Jiangyuan City is like thunder, and their reputation spreads far and wide.
This is simply because the Yu family has elite children serving in the military for generations, guarding the border of the Western Wilderness.
The current head of the Yu family is one of the four great generals under the Imperial Court and a powerful man in the soul refining realm.
The status of the four great generals is second only to the heads of the three ancient families, and they are extremely noble and illustrious.
Although Yu Zhengfei is not the emperor's son in the Imperial Palace, nor is he the legitimate son of the three major families, his status is still very high.
In addition, this man was a general under the Imperial Court, and he had made great military exploits, and was highly valued and commended by the Imperial Court.
In the eyes of many people, this person is also one of the strong candidates to compete for the master of Tianchen Territory.
Afterwards, the captain of the Imperial Guard read out the names of several candidates one after another and gave a brief introduction to their identities and strengths.
"The fourth candidate, Liu Zikang, is the thirty-seventh emperor's son in the imperial palace.
Liu Zikang is the eldest son of Liu in Quanye City. He is now thirty-five years old and his strength has reached the fourth level of Tianyuan Realm..."
When Ji Tianxing went to the imperial court to watch the ceremony, he had seen Liu Zikang, but he didn't take it to heart.
Although the emperor's son at the fourth level of the Tianyuan Realm was extremely talented and had superior combat power, he did not pose much of a threat to him.
"The fifth candidate, Lu Zhiyuan, is thirty-four years old. He is the legitimate son of the Lu family in the Blue Ancient Realm and the 42nd ranked emperor in the Imperial Palace. His strength has reached the fourth level of the Tianyuan Realm...
The sixth candidate, Ye Yifan, is thirty years old, the legitimate son of the Ye family in Sunset City, the 49th-ranked emperor in the imperial palace, and a third-level Tianyuan realm...
The seventh candidate, Zhai Jianqing, is the chief disciple of the Qinghe Valley Sword Control Sect. He is forty-six years old and at the fifth level of Tianyuan Realm..."
When he heard this, Ji Tianxing frowned and was a little confused.
"Qinghe Valley, the chief disciple of the Sword Control Sect, actually has the strength of the fifth level of Tianyuan Realm?"
The largest sect in Tianchen Domain, Chu Tiansheng, the head of Qingtian Sect, is only at the fourth level of Tianyuan Realm.
The chief disciple of the Sword Controlling Sect in the Blue Crane Valley actually has the fifth level of Tianyuan Realm strength, which is really shocking.
Seeing the doubtful look on his face, Kunwu smiled and explained: "The Sword Control Sect is a hidden sect and rarely walks around the world, but whenever a disciple comes forward, big things will happen.
Even I, a member of the Demon Clan, have heard of the reputation of the Qinghe Valley Sword Controlling Sect.
You probably don’t know enough about the situation in Zhongzhou, and you don’t know that the Sword Controlling Sect is also normal.
The Sword Control Sect is an ancient sect that has been passed down for thousands of years. Thousands of years ago, there was a powerful man in the Soul Refining Realm, named Sword Emperor.
It is said that the Sword Emperor once had a sword fight with the Sword God. Although the Sword God had not yet reached the divine realm at that time, and the Sword Emperor did not even take a single move from him.
However, it is a supreme honor to be able to compete with the sword god in swordsmanship.
For the Sword Emperor and the Sword Controlling Sect, that is a great honor, and it is also the capital of the Sword Controlling Sect that has dominated Zhongzhou for thousands of years..."
After listening to Kun Wu's explanation, Ji Tianxing understood that the Sword Control Sect was a thousand-year-old sect passed down by powerful soul refiners, and was definitely not comparable to the Qingtian Sect.
After a while, the captain of the imperial guard read out the names of two more candidates and introduced the candidates' background and strength.
The situation is just as the people are talking about. Among the nine candidates, Duanmu Yulong and Qianshan Zhenwu are the strongest and most famous.
The position of Tianchen Territory Lord will most likely fall into the hands of one of them.
