Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

On the circular platform, in the first layer close to the west in the south direction, there is a large area of ​​nearly half, and no one has appeared until just now.

This best area is reserved for those who actually hold power in the Xuanwu Empire. At this moment, the people participating in the selection of medicine sons enter the square. According to the rules, the super families must follow them to enter, showing respect for these participants in the selection of medicine sons.

The order of appearance seems insignificant, but in fact it contains a difference in status.

The square below is opened first, and those without identity and status are the first to appear here. After that, the surrounding areas on the stands will be opened one by one, which is the range that various small and medium-sized forces can enter.

After that, it is time for the young heroes who participated in the selection to appear, and of course they can be regarded as the focus of everyone's attention. Although they are the protagonists of the opening ceremony of this selection of medicine sons, they cannot be compared with the highest power level of the entire Xuanwu Empire after all, so they are followed by the appearance of various super families.

The entire venue is in charge of the emcee, and every important link and every subtle detail are controlled by these people. In order to show the importance of the Xuanwu Empire to Ye Yaozi, ordinary people can hardly see the slight time difference between the candidates and the super families when they enter.

The Su family, the Yao family, the Gui family, the Painter, the Lin family, the Wang family, these super families all appeared on the high platform. Each family naturally has its own place. Although it seems that the areas of these families are connected, they are actually separated from each other.

The head of the Su family Su Ying, the general Su Lan, the head of the Yao family Yao Zhuang, the general Ni Tianju, the head of the Gui family Gui Zhong, and the general Gui Chao. These people led the elders of their respective families and walked in one after another.

Then came the head of the Painter family Hua Yuan, followed by the Painter Wu Hu, the head of the Lin family Lin Dong, the general Lin Ya, the head of the Wang family Wang Yuan, and the only female among all the generals Wang Yunshi.

Although these families had experienced countless frictions behind the scenes, and some even fought many battles in remote places, they all kept a warm smile in front of the world, chatting with each other enthusiastically like old friends who had not seen each other for many years.

The appearance of these super families naturally caused a commotion in the surrounding stands and the square below. Because many people clearly remember that the selection of medicine children is held every four years, but in the past few decades, they have never seen any time when the heads and generals of the major super families came together.

This time, the selection of medicine children, all the important figures of the major super families were present, which made people with discerning eyes smell a hint of unusual smell immediately.

However, without giving everyone time to discuss and digest, a stone door opened in the north direction of the stands, which was also the direction of Emperor Mountain. A dozen bent servants came in, and after entering, they crawled on the ground one by one, leaving a passage in the middle.

Everyone with a little status in the Xuanwu Empire knew that the king Xuanhong was coming soon.

There is a passage on the platform. The passage does not lead to the outside of the Fengshan Altar. The passage extends directly downwards, extending from the underground to the Emperor Mountain.

Therefore, the king Xuanhong does not need to show off like others, with carriages and guards. Just coming from the bottom of the Emperor Mountain without anyone noticing is enough to show his extraordinary status as the king of the Xuanwu Empire.

He is wearing gorgeous clothes and a high crown. On the surface, he looks less than 40 years old, but his eyes are full of worldly wisdom and vicissitudes. Behind him, an old man with a slightly hunched body, followed closely with his head down. It is Qu Li who has been attached to the king Xuanhong and has been rising in status in the past ten years.

Xuanhong slowly came to the edge of the high platform, and his appearance immediately caused changes. Countless people in the square below bowed their heads and saluted, and some even prostrated themselves on the ground devoutly, expressing their humility and awe to the king in a way that is almost like worshiping gods.

In the hearts of the people at the bottom of Xuanwu, the ruler of the Xuanwu Empire is the real ruler. The six major families are like six pillars that support the stability of the entire country. For this reason, they value Xuanhong more and value the status of the ruler.

However, although there are many people on the square who bow or worship, there are still a small number of people who do not express anything. The small and medium-sized families on the surrounding high platforms just look at the ruler with extremely normal eyes, looking at this existence that has some form in their hearts.

Xuanhong has a faint smile on his face, waving his hands around, but his eyes are emitting red light. He swept coldly over the square below, and there were three waves of people that made his eyes linger for a while.

Among them, the people of the ten elders of the Ye Lin Empire, the group led by the old man wearing animal skins, and another group of people wearing coarse cloth robes, all received special attention from Xuanhong.

'Humph, at this moment in your eyes, I am just a puppet ruler of Xuanwu, but soon you will know who is the real controller of this empire. Since you have participated in the Xuanwu matter, I will definitely make sure that your trip is worthwhile.’

While thinking secretly in his heart, Xuan Hong slowly moved his eyes away and swept them to the surrounding stands. Those small and medium-sized forces of the Xuanwu Empire passed by under Zuo Feng's gaze, but his eyes became increasingly cold.

‘Over the years, you have all attached yourself to those super families, and each of you seems to be doing well. But this Xuanwu Empire belongs to my Xuan family. After this incident, if you still attach yourself to those families, I don’t mind eradicating you as well. The Xuanwu Empire will eventually return to the control of my Xuan family. Those who obey will live, and those who disobey will die! ’

As his eyes were retracted, Xuan Hong seemed to pass by the six super families around him unintentionally. These super families were the thorns in his eyes and flesh. He wanted to destroy all these families in a blink of an eye, but he knew that he could not express his thoughts now.

So he tried not to have too much eye contact with the other party. After just a casual glance, his eyes finally stopped on the white marble platform below.

The first batch of nine people entered the venue. These were the people who participated in the final competition of the selection of medicine sons, and they were also the most watched people in this selection of medicine sons.

In addition to these people, there were people who slowly walked out behind them. Among this group of people, there were also old friends of Zuo Feng.

The painter Hua Qi, the disciple of the Medicine Sect Cheng Tianhao and Duan Xia, in addition to a few of them, there are more than a dozen people. These people entered one after another not because their identities were more important than those who participated in the final competition. These people were all those who did not win the first place in the county city competitions.

The activity of the Medicine Son Selection, in addition to selecting the best one for the empire, also needs to give the best group of people a chance to show themselves.

Although Hua Qi and Cheng Tianhao did not qualify for the final competition, they will definitely become famous in the Xuanwu Empire after this competition, and will also attract attention from all parties.

There is a second reason why these people came here, that is, after today's opening ceremony, the second group of people will compete in refining medicine on the spot.

Although this competition has nothing to do with the title of Medicine Son, it is to warm up the final competition. In addition, this time's selection of Medicine Sons also involves the Ancient Wasteland Trial, and two of their group will be qualified to participate in the Ancient Wasteland Trial.

More than 20 people divided into two teams and came to the center of the platform. The king Xuan Hong walked towards the special arm platform where he was. It was almost the width of two people standing side by side, just right for one person to walk on it.

Xuan Hong was wearing a gorgeous robe, and the wind blew his clothes back and flew up slightly when he walked on the arm. Walking on this arm like a single-plank bridge, Xuan Hong felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart.

‘The place where I stand is at the cusp of the storm, just like where I am. The pipelines look beautiful on the outside, but after all, it’s lonely at the top. Who can understand the heart of the person standing here? But after stepping on it, you can’t help but fall in love with this place, fall in love with this exciting feeling, and fall in love with the taste of being secretly looked up to. ’

Xuan Hong walked to the front of the arm without hurrying and said loudly: "This time, the medicine selection ceremony officially begins now."

As his voice fell, countless fireworks were suddenly released around the Fengshan Terrace. Countless fireballs flew straight into the sky with a rumble, and then exploded in a gorgeous way. Even in the daytime, you can see the gorgeous fireworks flying everywhere, and there was thunderous cheers below.

Xuan Hong smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to the void. Then countless women in palace clothes flew up and walked out of the gate where the medicine boy walked out before.

The sound of stringed music sounded at the same time, and the ten women who flew out were on the marble platform, dancing around those who participated in the selection.

"This is the opening ceremony of the medicine selection. After the dance performance, the competition of the medicine selection will be announced at noon."

The middle-aged man called Keta said softly while looking at the ten women dancing on the stone platform.

The old man in the fur robe nodded slightly and said, "If Shen Feng cannot come before noon, he will also lose the qualification for the competition."

The middle-aged man nodded slowly and said nothing more. Time passed during the dance performance, the sun was moving towards the sky, and time also came to noon.

The ten women left the stage with the gradually fading sound of stringed instruments, leaving behind the more than 20 candidates for the medicine son who participated in the competition.

Qu Li walked slowly to the side of the platform and said loudly: "According to the instructions of the king, one person who is absent from the final competition of the competition will be selected from today's participants. The replacement person..."

Qu Li said, and slowly pointed his finger downwards. A young man who had been standing next to Hua Qi smiled faintly and stepped out of the crowd.
