The area of Chongming Continent is about 12 million square kilometers, but it ranks almost at the bottom among the nine continents. The entire continent is under the jurisdiction of the continent owner, just like the king of a country. Chongmingzhou is divided into six prefectures, which are under the control of the six masters. There are several cities under each prefecture, which are under the jurisdiction of the city lords. Youri City is a large city under the control of Daming Mansion. It is a port city near the sea. Because it is located at a land and water transportation fortress, it is extremely prosperous. There are nearly 1.5 million permanent cultivators in the city. The number of cultivators in just one city is almost equivalent to the total number of people in the ancient plains continent, which is really staggering.
Here, various sects, aristocratic families, and organizational forces are intertwined. Snakes follow snake paths and rats follow rat paths. The spheres of influence and interests are intertwined. Friction and conflict are commonplace. Forces are annexed and eliminated almost every day. There are also new organizations and new organizations. The sect appears. It is not easy to gain a foothold in a place like this, and the slightest disgrace will lead to the destruction of the faction.
Youri City is fifty miles long from east to west and fifty miles wide from north to south. There is a giant spiritual vein in the city, and there is a spirit gathering array bounded by the city wall, so the spiritual energy in the city is particularly strong. The space in the city is simply precious. Only a few top sects have the privilege of setting up mountain gates in the city. The second-tier sects can only establish sects in the surrounding mountains outside the city. The next-tier sects have to retreat to the outer mountains. Set up a mountain gate.
The forces in Youri City are complex, but the distribution belt is very hierarchical. The first-rate top forces are located in the city, the second-rate forces are distributed in the mountains within a radius of one hundred miles outside the city, and the third-rate forces are distributed in the mountains within a radius of two hundred miles outside the city. By analogy, the further away from the city, the weaker the strength. The reason why such a distribution is formed is, first, because of the large spiritual veins in the city. The closer to the city, the more spiritual energy of the spiritual veins will naturally be shared, and vice versa; second, the farther away from the city, the more spiritual beasts are infested. Frequently, the safety of the mountain gate becomes less and less guaranteed. You must know that there are countless spiritual beasts entrenched in those barren and barren mountains, and many of them are ridiculously powerful giants. Maybe a fifth-level or sixth-level spiritual beast may pop up at any time and it will be enough to destroy the sect, and such incidents do happen from time to time. .
All forces abide by the principle of power distribution zone. No third-rate force will set the mountain gate in the distribution area of the second-rate force, and no second-rate force dares to set the mountain gate in the area of the first-rate force. If any sect does not judge its own capabilities, it will not I'm afraid it will be destroyed by the "neighbors" after being out for a long time. The Shao family, which has only third-rate strength, is located in a valley more than 200 kilometers north of Youri City.
At this time, in a side hall of Shaojia Villa.
Mrs. Ning, Shangguan Yu, Ning Yun, Shen Xiaobao, and Li Xiangjun, who was disguised as a man, were sitting in the guest seats in the hall, but the main seat was empty. They have been waiting for nearly an hour, and the tea in front of them has been changed several times, but no one has come out to meet them. Shen Xiaobao couldn't stand it anymore and said displeasedly: "What do you mean, leaving us here to hang out!"
"Xiaobao, please be patient!" Mrs. Ning said reproachfully.
Shen Xiaobao could only stop talking angrily. Shangguan Yu's face was calm, but his eyebrows were slightly furrowed. He was visiting the Shao family in the name of Zhengtianmen, but the Shao family asked him and others to wait in the side hall. , instead of in the main hall, obviously not taking himself and others seriously. Of course, Shangguan Yu also understands that a small force from a small place like ours cannot get into the eyes of these "high-ranking families", so he has always been low-key and respectful, and has a patient attitude towards the slights he receives, but Patience does not mean accepting all slights and humiliations without self-esteem. The Shao family left themselves waiting in the side hall like air for nearly an hour. This was too much.
"Wait a moment longer. If no one comes out to meet you, then leave!" Shangguan Yu secretly thought.
Now that Chu Jun is away, Shangguan Yu has become the top person in charge and has to be responsible for nearly a hundred people under his command. Zhengtianmen wants to gain a foothold here and will have to rely on the help of the Shao family in the future. He must not act on his own initiative, so Shangguan Yu has been restrained. I told myself "wait for one more moment", so I waited moment after moment until now.
"Let's go, we'll lose our face if we wait any longer!" Li Xiangjun said calmly.
Shangguan Yu glanced at Li Xiangjun in surprise. She was always witty and understood the pros and cons. Why was she so restless today? After thinking about it, he understood a little more. Since Chu Jun's accident, Shangguan Yu could feel that Li Xiangjun had become much depressed. He was no longer enthusiastic about Zhengtianmen affairs and was cold and indifferent to himself. Shangguan Yu knows very well that Li Xiangjun is only loyal to Chu Jun. Now that Junior Brother Chu is gone, she actually has nothing to do with Zhengmentian. She wants to leave with Anxiang's people, and she has nothing to say. It was already good for Li Xiangjun to follow him and visit the Shao family in the name of Zhengtianmen. How could he have the nerve to let her suffer contempt together again
"Okay, let's go!" Shangguan Yu stood up and said.
Hearing this, Shen Xiaobao said angrily: "Young Master has stopped waiting a long time ago. He is simply bullying others so much that even the person who pours tea and water is overestimating him!"
Mrs. Ning sighed secretly, nodded and said: "That's fine!"
A group of people stood up and walked out the door. A servant-looking man stopped at the door. He did not hide the arrogance on his face and said with a half-smile, "Are you leaving now?"
Shangguan Yu said calmly: "Your master is too busy, so we won't bother you anymore. Come visit us next time!"
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. The master of the house is indeed too busy at this time. Sorry, walk slowly!" The man stepped out of the way.
Shen Xiaobao snorted coldly and walked towards the village gate first. This man looked at the backs of Shangguan Yu and others, and sneered disdainfully: "A bunch of bumpkins want to see the family head just because they have the name of Zhengtianmen. They are simply overestimating their abilities and bringing humiliation to themselves!" After saying that, he turned around and walked back.
In a room in the courtyard of Shaojia Villa, two people were changing cups and cups. One of them was Ma Baiyong, the golden elixir-level guard next to Mr. Feng Ling. The other person is a middle-aged man with a mustache. He is wearing a python robe and a jade belt. His hair is neatly combed and shiny. There is a yellow finger on each of the five fingers of his left hand. His eyes are intentionally or unintentionally. He glanced at the two charming twin sisters behind Ma Baiyong.
"Fourth Master, they finally couldn't bear it and left!" A servant came in from outside and said respectfully.
This rat-bearded man is Shaoji, the fourth eldest brother of the Shao family, the fourth brother of the current head of the family, and he is also a influential figure in the Shao family.
"I got it!" Shao Ji waved his servants to leave, raised his glass to Ma Baiyong and said with a smile: "A group of bumpkins from the mountains want to see my elder brother, and they come to visit empty-handed. It's really ridiculous!"
Ma Baiyong smiled and said: "What good things can these guys who have never seen a spiritual crystal come up with? They actually want to come and make friends with the Shao family. They are really overestimating their abilities!"
"Well, if it weren't for Shao Min, I wouldn't even let them in!" Shao Ji took a sip of wine, his eyes fell on the swollen breasts of the two twin sisters, and he swallowed the wine.
A hint of imperceptible sarcasm flashed through Ma Baiyong's eyes, but he said: "This time our Master Feng has searched for many stunning women in this corner of the Guyuan Continent, and specially sent these two top-notch twins to you, Fourth Master, please." Fourth Master is happy to accept it!”
Shao Ji's eyes lit up, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes bloomed like chrysanthemums. He laughed and said, "Young Master Feng is so polite. How can this happen!"
"Of course, if you two come forward to meet the Fourth Master, he will be your new master from now on!" Ma Baiyong turned back to the two female cultivators and said calmly.
The two female cultivators stepped forward timidly to give them a blessing, and said softly: "Fourth Master!"
Shao Ji looked at the two identical and beautiful faces and wished he could skin them into big white sheep and crush them on his chest. The two identical faces moaning softly under him were so ecstasy!
Shao Ji pretended to ask the two women a few questions and then arranged for someone to take them down. Ma Bailiyong drank a few drinks and then said sensibly: "Fourth Master, Ma is leaving!"
"You're leaving now, don't you want to chat for a while?" Shao Ji pretended to stay, but in his heart he wished Ma Baiyong would get out of here so that he could go back to his room and chop it into pieces.
"Haha, it won't stop Fourth Master from picking up his gun and mounting his horse!" Ma Baiyong chuckled.
Shangguan Yu and others left the Shaojia Villa and were about to return to Youri City when a figure hurriedly ran out of the village and called from a distance: "Sir Shangguan!"
Everyone couldn't help but turn around and saw Shao Min, who was wearing a tight leather jacket and leather trousers and had a hot body, running up panting slightly.
"You're leaving so quickly, and you didn't even tell me!" Shao Min had beads of sweat on his forehead, and he was obviously running in a hurry.
Shen Xiaobao sneered: "Miss Shao, if you don't leave, will we continue to stay in the side hall of your house and drink tea over and over again?"
Shao Min couldn't help being surprised and asked, "What do you mean?"
Shangguan Yu said hurriedly: "Miss Shao, don't mind, this is how Xiaobao, the monkey guy, talks!"
"Shao Min, you left us hanging in the side hall for more than an hour. If we don't leave, are we going to stay there shamelessly?" Ning Yun said angrily.
"How come? My fourth uncle didn't meet you?" Shao Min asked in shock.
Shangguan Yu shook his head: "We waited in the living room for more than an hour but no one came to greet us, so we left!"
Shao Min said apologetically: "Master Shangguan, my father, second uncle and third uncle are not in the village, so I have informed the fourth uncle. Unexpectedly, he did not meet you. I was dragged by my mother to chat for a long time. I really didn’t know about this!”
Shangguan Yu felt relieved all of a sudden, and he smiled boldly and said: "It doesn't matter, I will visit you next time when your father is here!"
Shao Min nodded apologetically and said: "It's okay. Fourth uncle has never been reliable. It's better to wait until dad comes back. By the way, I will take you to the city to register the sect, so that you can find a mountain outside the city to build a mountain gate." !”
Everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard this. Living in the city cost a lot of spiritual crystals every day. They were already poor, so how could they afford the rent.
