Leicheng City is adjacent to the Thunder Sea in the extreme west. Together with Tuomu City in the center and Moyun City in the east, it forms a semicircular guard in front of the royal capital Jinxiu City. At the same time, it is also one of the ten most prestigious cities in the Central Plains. It is known as the palace of thunder descending from the sky and transformed into a city.
This is an ancient city that has stood for tens of thousands of years. In terms of scale, outline, and momentum, it is extremely ancient and majestic. It is hard to imagine how many years it took for this city to be built to such a scale.
As soon as he stepped into Leicheng, Chen Xi was shocked. The streets were as spacious as a square, with busy traffic and endless waves. Everywhere he looked, there were black heads of people. There are rows of buildings of various colors on both sides of the street, each one more magnificent than the other, just like the mountains towering in the city, giving people an ancient and majestic feeling.
Chen Xi once visited Qingzhou, which was a picturesque city with ethereal mountains and rivers, and a hint of hazy Zen. The majestic city in front of you is ancient and majestic, making people feel a heavy sense of history. It is vast and vast, yet it is bright and prosperous, which is extremely special.
And the sky above this city seems calm, but the airflow is filled with a lot of thunder power, and traces of lightning arcs flash from time to time in the clouds, some are blue, some red, some silver and so on. Like the fireworks that flash from time to time, they look so different.
"What a majestic power of thunder. If a monk practices here, it will be much easier to control the meaning of thunder." Chen Xi was keenly aware that after entering this city, the meaning of thunder that he understood seemed to have changed. Gotta get lively!
At the same time, Chen Xi also discovered that there were many young geniuses gathered in Leicheng. Each of these geniuses had a unique temperament, some were magnificent, some were handsome and elegant, some were jade trees facing the wind, or some were beautiful and enchanting. They were all like dragons and phoenixes among men. His qualifications and cultivation are both extremely extraordinary.
"In one month, the Star Conference will begin. I really can't wait!"
"Yes, this time the current Chu Emperor is going to open the Hualong Pond, which has been dusted for thousands of years, to celebrate the young masters who have achieved the top ten. This is a great event. In addition to some young heroes who have already become famous all over the world, it is said that there are also It has attracted many disciples of the old monster to participate, so it will definitely be an unprecedented event."
"Haha, such a once-in-a-lifetime event must not be missed, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life."
Along the way, the streets and alleys were full of people discussing the Star Conference, which seemed extremely lively.
The Conference of Stars is a grand event for the entire Chu Dynasty. It will bring together many top-level geniuses from the Central Plains, East China Sea, Northern Barbarians, Southern Xinjiang and other places. It can be said that there is a gathering of winds and clouds, and there are many strong people. Such a grand event is indeed full of excitement. expect.
"Hey, how's your strength now? Do you have the confidence to be among the top ten in the Star Conference?" On the way, Yaqing suddenly tilted her head and asked.
After entering Leicheng, Yan Cheng left with the caravan. At this time, in addition to Chen Xi and Ya Qing, their group also included Yun Na and Yan Yan.
Yan Yan and Ya Qing have a good relationship, and they haven't seen each other for a long time, so they followed them.
The young prince of Leihou Mansion, Wang Zhenfeng, and his subordinates had already returned home early to prepare for the dinner.
According to Wang Zhenfeng, the purpose of this dinner is to firstly cleanse Chen Xi from the dust, and secondly to introduce everyone to a young figure of the younger generation. Therefore, it must be carefully prepared and held grandly, otherwise it will lose the dignity of being the host. It's polite.
As for whether he is really as hospitable as he said, only he knows.
Anyway, Chen Xi didn't believe that this guy, whom he didn't know before and was just meeting for the first time, would take such good care of him.
Finishing in the top 10 at the Stars Conference
When Yun Na heard the words, she was startled, but she soon recovered. She recalled the scene in the Huangmu Castle when Chen Xi slapped a Nirvana strong man ten times. Yan Yan almost thought that her ears had heard wrong. She raised her head After taking a quick look, I saw that Yaqing's face was serious and did not look like she was joking. She couldn't help but feel speechless. Sister Yaqing thinks too highly of this cowardly pretty boy, right? People say that women who fall in love are fools, and now it seems that this statement is indeed true!
She couldn't suppress her dissatisfaction and immediately said: "Sister Yaqing, as far as I know, there are many masters participating in the Star Conference this time, such as Qing Xiuyi from Yunhe Sect, Zhao Qinghe from Tianxuan Pavilion, Huangfu Changtian from Prince Rui's Palace , Donghai Yange, Zhen Liuqing... etc., there are more than ten in total, not to mention some disciples of old monsters who have been hidden in the world, and they have also appeared one after another, intending to compete for the top ten positions in the Star Conference. When you say that, does it sound a bit..."
The words were not finished, but the meaning was clearly revealed. Yaqing could naturally hear it, and couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. She immediately asked: "Do you think he is not as good as those people?"
Yan Yan bit her lips and did not deny it.
Yaqing couldn't help but sigh in her heart, knowing that if she didn't explain clearly, this silly girl might still treat Chen Xi as a coward. If she angered Chen Xi, she would be in big trouble.
She said directly: "Do you know who was the only one who achieved 100 consecutive victories in the Golden Pool Tournament a few months ago?"
Yan Yan said in a daze: "Of course I know that it is said that he is an unknown monk from southern Xinjiang. He not only defeated Jiyue of the Northern Barbarian Xuanji Sect, but also drove back Huamobei, the fairy island of Biyuan in the East China Sea with one sword, and even even Wang Daoxu, an outstanding young man of the Mingxia Sect, was also defeated by him... "
As she said that, she glanced at Yaqing suspiciously and asked, "That Chen Xi, could it be him?"
Yaqing said noncommittally, "Then do you know that the assassination attempt at Hei Ri Tower failed for the first time in thousands of years?"
Yan Yan was confused, but she still nodded and said: "It seems to be to assassinate a Jindan monk. As a result, many assassins dispatched by Hei Ri Tower, including several commander-level assassins, were killed in the hands of that person, and a group of commander-level assassins were also killed. Escape without a fight. Although this matter is secretive, it has now also caused a sensation in the entire cultivation world, so naturally I have heard about it."
Yaqing said no more, but looked at Chen Xi.
Yan Yan was stunned and understood everything immediately. She looked at Chen Xi blankly, as if she had seen a ghost, and was so shocked that she could not speak.
Yun Na's heart was surging when she heard it, and she couldn't restrain herself. She suddenly remembered something and asked in a daze: "In the wild forest, you also fought off the violent bear demon, right?"
Chen Xi was not used to having a group of women staring at him like this. This feeling was like being treated like a monster, which made him very uncomfortable. But he had to answer Yun Na's question and nodded.
"I guessed it was you!" Yun Na raised the corners of her lips and smiled happily, looking proud of herself.
Even the violently armored bear demon was repelled by him? Thinking of the shocking battle that day, Yan Yan lost her composure and asked angrily: "Then why didn't you tell me earlier? You made me a joke all the way!"
Chen Xi said in astonishment: "Have you asked me?"
Yan Yan's expression froze and she opened her lips, but she could no longer speak, because as Chen Xi said, she had always treated Chen Xi as a pretty coward along the way and was too lazy to pay attention to Chen Xi. Maybe ask these questions again
hateful!
This bastard definitely did it on purpose, just waiting to see himself make a fool of himself!
Yan Yan was so angry that she wanted to bite this bastard hard.
The group of people were just communicating like this, and before they knew it, they could already see the magnificent Leihou Mansion from a distance.
The Leihou Mansion is very easy to identify. The entire mansion is built on a huge lake. It is completely dark, as if it is made of fine steel, and has a metallic luster.
The entire Leihou Mansion was shrouded in mist, rain and mist. Looking from a distance, it looked like an ancient ferocious beast entrenched in the great lake. It was so majestic and terrifying that it made people feel heart-stopping.
"But Miss Yaqing?" Someone was waiting outside Leihou's mansion.
Chen Xi and his group stopped talking, and Yaqing regained her graceful and elegant demeanor. She looked at the purple-robed young man, nodded and said, "I am."
"I have been ordered by my young prince to wait here for Miss Yaqing and others. Please follow me." The young man in purple robe looked at the three stunning women who were surrounded by Chen Xi, each with their own merits. He couldn't help but reveal a trace of envy in his eyes, and immediately Yao glanced at Chen Xi with a slightly strange look, shook his head, turned around and led the way.
"This mansion is really magnificent." Chen Xi and Ya Qing walked in front, followed closely by Yun Na and Yan Yan, heading towards the Leihou Mansion.
The young man in purple robe who led the way smiled and said: "Young Master has good eyesight. The entire Leihou Mansion is made of thunder meteorites from outside the sky. Every brick and tile contains the powerful power of thunder. My master has exhausted endless wealth and spent a lot of money." It took more than a hundred years to cast it, and it is so impregnable that even if a powerful Earth Immortal breaks in, there will be no return."
"It is indeed extraordinary." Chen Xi nodded. From the moment he entered, he noticed that there were many restrictions densely packed inside the mansion. Once activated, the entire mansion would instantly turn into a terrifying formation containing thunder.
The welcoming hall of Leihou Mansion is resplendent and majestic. Each chair is carved with dragons and phoenixes, and large gold and jade screens are placed around it. Shark oil candles as thick as a child's arm illuminate the hall, shining brightly and spreading out. It has a light fragrance and is refreshing.
At this time, the welcoming hall was already crowded with guests. The maids and servants were carrying tea and pouring water, and they were constantly shuttling back and forth, making it very lively.
"Hahaha, Brother Chen, Miss Yaqing, you are finally here!" When Chen Xi and his group just arrived in front of the main hall, a hearty laugh could be heard in the main hall. The young prince Wang Zhenfeng was wearing an Eguan and a gorgeous dress. Shi Shiran came out in black robe.
