Shinkyo, central square.
The much-anticipated world's number one fighting tournament has finally begun.
Both the divine sect and the royal family were very impatient for this fight. The divine sect spent a huge amount of money to hold this fight that brought together elite monks from all over the world. The purpose was naturally not to do charity, but to win over people's hearts. , to show everyone in the world the unshakable and absolute dominance of the divine religion in Da Qi!
Even the invincible National Preceptor Chang Yuan can feel that under the impact of continuous wars and natural disasters, the majesty and prestige of the divine religion are constantly declining, especially since the prince continues to rise in such crises, his prestige has already It had a huge impact on the prestige of the national preceptor.
It is precisely because of this that those cultivating sects that have been trying to challenge the status of the divine sect are starting to make moves one by one.
After all, which powerful sect in the world doesn’t want to get involved in Shenjing
The Divine Religion needs the core host position of this magic fighting conference to prove their power to practitioners all over the world, and they also need this grand event to promote the glory of the Divine Religion to the world.
Likewise, the royal family needs this fight more than the divine religion.
Continuous natural and man-made disasters have torn almost all of Daqi's dazzling and gorgeous clothes to pieces. What is hidden under the remaining fig leaves can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.
The prince's claim to the throne has been completely broken, and the capital has fallen into serious internal strife. The political officials have no intention of doing politics and are busy with intrigues, and the military attachés have no intention of training and are busy running around and colluding. The prince was assassinated, the star official was assassinated, and the emperor was assassinated. This series of assassinations It has brought an extremely heavy and majestic blow to the royal family of Daqi.
For such a huge and powerful empire, its prince, star officer and emperor were assassinated one after another, and the assassins of the prince and the murderers of the star officer are still at large!
It's okay to assassinate the prince and the big star official. This is simply a slap in the face of this empire! Who would take the majesty of this empire seriously
The royal family was out of money, and the treasury was also out of money, but fortunately Li Chengfeng came up with three clever tips for them, which quickly helped Daqi officials collect a large amount of wealth.
Although a lot of the wealth flowed into the hands of the powerful, the most conspicuous among them was the fourth prince. With the help of gambling, he amassed hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in less than a month.
After having money, most of the income was withheld, and he did not immediately invest in the grand event of the Fighting Tournament to fight against the divine religion.
The officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs complained a lot, but they only dared to talk about it below the ground. The conscientious censors only complained in brothels and restaurants. They did not dare to say it in front of the emperor, nor did they dare to go to court. Zhezi objected to this matter.
Because there is no fool who can become an official, and any fool can see that every fighting competition must be an open and covert battle between the royal family and the divine religion, and what the two sides compete for is "influence"!
Influence determines their dominance and the legitimacy of their rule!
Whether it was the officials in their positions, the scholars gathered in the capital waiting for the imperial examination, or the monks at the gathering, they were all watching with cold eyes this battle that was extremely glorious on the surface but turbulent secretly.
But the common people were not aware of the terrifying undercurrent hidden under the calm water. They flocked to various streets early in the morning and occupied the best viewing positions early in the morning.
The black-clothed guards and white-clothed guards of the divine sect had sealed off the entire sky above Shenjing early. You could see black and white guardians hovering in mid-air everywhere. Levels, far and wide, completely blocked the sky above Shenjing. If someone breaks in at this time, they will definitely receive a fatal blow from them.
In the eyes of these guards hovering in the air, the entire central part of Shenjing has now turned black, with black heads everywhere. There are people crawling on the roofs, tree trunks, streets, and even various spiers. They looked around one by one and raised their hands to their foreheads. At this time, they were really raising their arms like a forest and sweating profusely.
On the east side of Shenjing Central Square is Shenguang Street, and on the west side is Shenhui Street. The emperor will enter from the east side of Shenguang Street, and the leader of the Shen sect, Chang Yuan, will enter from the west side of Shenhui Street. Entering the venue, both sides enter the venue one after another, vying for glory, which is a unique feature of Shenjing, and is also the most magnificent scene in every world's best fighting tournament.
"Hey hey hey, it's coming, it's coming!!"
The common people had gathered here at Chenshi. They had been waiting for more than an hour and there was still no sign. They were already a little impatient. However, when some people in the front streets saw the team coming, they waved and shouted, "Ten, Ten." Soon after the news spread, the streets began to boil, like a furious wave coming from afar. At first, it was just a faint shout, and then the shouts got closer and louder. When they arrived in front of us, There is already a roaring mountain and a tsunami, shaking the heaven and the earth!
For a moment, the sound was deafening. Some of them covered their own ears, some covered their own women's ears, and some covered other women's ears. They all opened their mouths and shouted, but they could only hear each other's voices.
Then the ground rumbled and shook, the hard and solid granite floor vibrating rhythmically, and a burst of footsteps came closer and closer.
From a distance, everyone saw a dense forest of spears gathering. Walking in the front row were the most elite Yulin Blood Guards in the entire Shenjing. They were covered in blood-red heavy armor, and there was no gap in their bodies. There is only one pair of eyes hidden behind the cross sight hole of the helmet, like an eagle or a falcon. The magic-breaking spear they hold in their hands is three and a half meters long. They are really like soldiers from heaven descending from the earth while riding on a two-meter-high horse!
The leader of the Blood Guard has a hundred horses, four in a row, arranged in twenty-five rows. Everyone behaves as if they are one person, and even the forward and backward postures of the mounts under their crotches are exactly the same!
People immediately praised him at the first sight: The reputation of the Blood Guard is well-deserved!
Followed closely behind were the mighty imperial guards. They each sent two hundred people, dressed in neat armor, and passed by in several square formations. Each square formation was like tofu chopped with knives and axes, neatly arranged. Qi, the sonorous footsteps under their feet were like drums, and each beat hit the hearts of everyone watching, making people unable to help but feel their hearts surging and their blood flowing.
After the guards passed by, everyone did not feel their interest waning at all. Instead, they all stretched their necks to wait for the main event to come.
Because everyone knows that the emperor of Daqi will appear next, and he will appear sitting on the most magnificent sedan!
Every time this sedan will trigger a heated discussion in Beijing, because it is really gorgeous and extravagant enough!
Not to mention anything else, just the palace maids in front holding golden hooks to spread the velvet carpet, and the maids holding flower baskets and waving flower petals are enough to decorate the colorful, bright and luxurious scene of the prosperous era.
But when everyone stretched their necks to look, they discovered that what came next was not the sedan as tall as a hill and as luxurious as a mountain of gold, but a golden yellow horse. This yellow horse was all orange. As if sprinkled with gold, it is extremely tall, a full two and a half meters tall, and the man riding on this horse wears an eight-dragon crown and eight-dragon robes, with a solemn and majestic appearance. He is none other than Prince Zhao Hanqing!
This time everyone was shocked!
Where is the emperor
Why didn't the emperor show up
This time the emperor does not come, but the prince appears. What does this mean!
