The heavens begin from Pingyang City

On the other side, after leaving Jiang Yao's sight, Ren Jian looked curiously at the old man in gray robe beside him, and asked doubtfully: "Old Sun, what happened just now? Why do you seem to be injured?"

The gray-robed old man glanced behind him with lingering fear and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, I was wrong. That Sima Lingkong is more powerful than we thought. He definitely hid his strength a few days ago."

"What!"

There was a look of surprise on Ren Jian's face. The terrifying sword that defeated him a few days ago was not the opponent's true strength.

After a moment, he looked solemn and said in a serious tone: "Mr. Sun, did you read that correctly?"

"I also hope I'm wrong."

The old man in gray robe showed a trace of lingering fear and said: "I just noticed something wrong with the opponent's aura fluctuations, and wanted to test the depth of his strength. Unexpectedly, he was noticed by the opponent, and he just used a The sword will hurt me."

As he said that, there was a trace of envy on his face and he said: "I suspect that his strength must have reached the fourth level of the warrior's level of Qi training and transformation into gods, so that he can have such powerful sword intent."

"Fourth level."

There was a trace of trance on Renjian's face. It was completely different from the first three levels, and it was the first transformation on the path of cultivation.

There are many third-level cultivators in the world of cultivation, but there are very few who have actually passed that level and entered the fourth level. What he didn't expect was that the young master of the Chu Kingdom's General's Mansion had already reached the level at such a young age. to this level.

With such a talent, I am afraid he is not inferior to those descendants of the Holy Land, right?

Thinking about it, a hint of schadenfreude suddenly appeared on his face and he said: "Aren't the envoys of Anping State planning to embarrass Chu State on this birthday? Now it seems that there is something good to watch. Fortunately, because of my previous Things rejected their plans."

When the old man in gray robe heard Ren Jian's words, he hesitated and said, "Your Highness, why don't you tell the envoy from Anping Kingdom this information?"

"What's there to say?"

Ren Jian said casually: "Wouldn't it be nice to see them dog-eat-dog? It would be best for the two countries to completely turn against each other. This is the most beneficial thing for us, the Moon Worshiping Kingdom."

As he spoke, there was a look of anticipation on his face.

royal palace.

In the center of the hall, a group of charming dancers stretch their graceful figures to the fullest. Next to them are musicians playing music. The scene is full of singing and dancing, and the sound of silk and bamboo can be heard endlessly.

The Emperor of Chu, Chu Han, and the Queen were sitting on the main throne, receiving congratulations from officials, aristocratic families, and envoys from other countries.

Chu Han is a tall and burly old man. During the decades of his reign, the three major countries in the Eastern Continent have maintained a delicate balance. Although there have been some frictions, there have basically been no major wars.

In addition, the Chu State is located at the junction of the east and the west and has a superior geographical location. Businessmen from the east and west pass through this place, so the Chu State can be considered prosperous under his leadership.

Listening to the following words of praise and praise, his face couldn't help but smile.

After accepting everyone's congratulations, Chu Han ordered everyone to sit down and the palace maids and eunuchs quickly served various delicacies.

After a while, there was a sound of people drinking and drinking in the hall, and everyone was laughing and joking, making it a happy scene.

Jiang Yao and Nalan Ruoshui sat together in the area where Qishi Mansion was located, talking to her in a low voice while tasting the fine wine and delicacies on the table.

Just as everyone was laughing and laughing, suddenly, an envoy from the envoy seat where Anping Kingdom was located under the main hall came out.

Everyone who saw this scene immediately stopped what they were doing, feeling that something bad was about to happen.

Worshiping the direction of the Moon Kingdom, Ren Jian shook the wine glass in his hand and watched this scene with interest, with a look of fun on his face. Then he accidentally glanced in the direction of the Qishi Mansion.

Jiang Yao also stopped talking to Nalan Ruoshui at this time, and looked at the messenger with her, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Under the gaze of everyone in the hall, the envoy from the Anping Kingdom walked to the center of the hall, bowed to Emperor Chu Han, and then said: "Your Majesty, on such an important day as your birthday, just singing and dancing. The fun of silk and bamboo is boring, so why not invite some young talents from our country to dance swords for your majesty, and also invite your majesty to appreciate the grace of our warriors?"

"No!"

Before Chu Han could speak, a minister below directly objected: "Today is His Majesty's birthday. It's such a happy day. How can you dance with a sword? Wouldn't it ruin the festive atmosphere!"

After hearing this, the envoy said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Chu, I heard that the great Chu established its country by force and was so powerful that it is powerful in all directions. Why are you not even allowed to perform a small sword dance now? Is it possible that the entire great Chu has already Without the bloody spirit of our ancestors, we have become a group of fearless people."

"Be bold!"

Before the envoy could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a minister: "Our Da Chu has a vast territory and a flourishing martial arts. How can you, a small envoy, say anything about it? However, today is not a good day to see swordsmen!"

Upon seeing this, the envoy smiled and said: "I have no intention of offending your country, but the behavior of all the adults really made me have to misunderstand!"

"伱"

"alright."

Chu Han interrupted the argument below and said with a cold look on his face: "Since the envoy insists, then I will help you and let me see the style of the warriors of Anping Kingdom. I hope you will not disappoint me!"

Jiang Yao looked at the farce on the field and felt a sigh of relief in his heart. As expected, these countries have been scheming with each other.

Now that the three countries in the Eastern Continent maintain a balance and maintain a peaceful situation, it is impossible for a war to happen. These people are thinking of damaging the face of Chu State in other ways.

I remembered what Chu Yu said about vaguely hearing that Ren Jian was going to be a monster on his birthday. Now it seems that this is it, but for some reason, the other party has not come forward now. Has he given up?

While Jiang Yao was thinking, Chu Han waved his hand to all the singers, dancers, and musicians performing below to step back and give up their seats in the center of the hall.

After a while, three young men came in from outside the hall, all in their twenties. They were both strong and muscular, with muscles like horned dragons. They looked full of explosive power.

There is another one who is slender and looks not as strong as the two companions, but he is vaguely the leader of the three, and his vague aura is more than superior to the two companions.

The three of them bowed to Chu Han, and then the slender young man who led them said: "Your Majesty, it would be boring to watch us dance swords by ourselves. If His Majesty allows it, we can invite young talents from your country to accompany us to compete. To cheer up His Majesty the Emperor’s birthday banquet!”

"No!"

A minister came directly out of the queue, saluted Chu Han and said, "Your Majesty, how can the main hall be used as a place for martial arts battles?"

Chu Han was pondering, but he heard the young man say directly and pointedly: "Don't worry, it's just a competition. I will definitely be merciful to the warriors of your country and won't let them lose too ugly!"

"you"

The minister said anxiously: "What nonsense are you talking about? I have a strong martial arts style and many young talents. How can I be afraid of you, a small warrior from another country?"

At this time, Chu Han said directly: "Okay, since you want to see the young talents of our Chu country, then I will do as you wish!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The young man thanked him and then looked at the field: "I wonder who wants to see the style of my Anping warrior!"

He looked directly at the military and Qishi Mansion. These two places were also where most of the cultivators from Chu State gathered.

When the three people came in, Chu Yue came to Jiang Yao's side. She looked at Jiang Yao and said: "Lingkong, seeing that the three people on the field are very powerful, I'm afraid you need to take action this time!"

Jiang Yao nodded and did not refuse. As the son of the great general of the Chu State and the leading figure in the younger generation of the imperial capital, he was naturally responsible for this kind of thing.

And this is just a piece of cake for him. With his current realm and strength, unless he encounters a fifth-level peerless master, he will not be afraid of those descendants of the Holy Land.

After taking a look at the three people on the field with extraordinary momentum, Chu Yue had a solemn expression on her face and said, "Lingkong, can you clearly see the strength of these three people?"

Jiang Chen glanced at the three people on the field and said softly: "The two of them are second-level masters. They should be practicing Western fighting spirit. The leader is a third-level master warrior, and the qi energy he faintly exudes is very extraordinary. He should have practiced advanced skills, maybe he is a disciple of some hidden family or holy land, but he was driven by the Anping Kingdom for some unknown reason?"

"But don't worry, it's all within my range."

Hearing Jiang Yao's confident words, Chu Yue's face showed a look of relief.

Having grown up with Jiang Yao, she knew her friend's character very well and knew that he was not someone who just spoke freely, and that he was sure when he said he was sure.

The little princess Chu Yu who was following Chu Yue looked at the scene on the field and almost jumped up with excitement. She murmured: "It's a fight, it's a fight. I like to watch other people fight the most!"

As she said that, she looked back at Jiang Yao, clenched her fist and said, "Teacher, you must beat them to a pulp so that they dare to look down on our Chu country, hum!"

Jiang Yao looked at her with a smile and said, "Now you know how to call me teacher. If you practice hard, maybe within a few years, you will be able to go out and beat those three guys up."

"I"

Hearing Jiang Yao talk about his cultivation again, Chu Yu's face fell, and he hurriedly hid next to Nalan Ruoshui and stopped talking to Jiang Yao.

Nalan Ruoshui tidied up Chu Yu's somewhat scattered hair with a gentle face, then looked at Jiang Yao with a hint of worry and said: "Brother Lingkong, you..."

"rest assured."

Jiang Yao gave Nalan Ruoshui a reassuring look and said confidently: "It's just a third-level warrior, I can defeat him easily."

"Um."

Seeing Jiang Yao's confident face, Nalan Ruoshui nodded with confidence.
