While the two were talking, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall. A middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance walked in, followed by a man and a woman.

The middle-aged man looks ordinary, no different from the farmer he usually sees.

The two people behind the middle-aged man, one is handsome and the other is beautiful. The armor they wears is also very exquisite.

Having these two people follow makes the middle-aged man look a little unusual and unpredictable.

Seeing three people entering the hall, Jian Fu and Tu Sun immediately stood up.

Yuan Qing was a little late, but he immediately stood up.

All the people they brought with them stood up one by one.

Yang Chen and others did not react slowly, and immediately guessed the identity of the middle-aged man and stood up one after another.

Everyone shouted respectfully: "See Lord Fan Kuai!"

At this time, Yang Feng noticed that Qian Lu's eyes were always gathering on the handsome young man.

Yang Feng asked, "What's wrong? Do you fall in love with that young man? Or do you have a grudge against him?"

Qian Ludao: "His name is Yuan Zhu, and he practiced a strange ancient body refining technique. His cultivation is hard to guess. He has won the first place in the competition several times in a row, but in fact, he did not use all his strength in every gladiator competition. You should pray, don't fight him so quickly."

The middle-aged man came to the main seat, with a smile on his face, letting everyone sit down.

When everyone saw this, no one sat down.

When Fan Kuai saw this, he showed a helpless smile on his face, and then he was the first to sit down.

A man and a woman stood on the left and right, standing behind Fan Kuai respectively.

Seeing this, the four city lords sat down, and the others followed.

Fan Kuai said, "Dear fellow Taoists come from afar. If there is any place where there is a poor reception, please forgive me."

Fan Kuai did not mention the conflict in the hall at all.

When Tu Sun heard this, he hurriedly said, "What did the Lord of City Fan Kuai say? It really ruined us..."

Fan Kuai smiled and said, "Hahaha, the competition has always been a grand event between our cities, and it is also a demonstration of the comprehensive strength of each city. It is of great benefit to strengthening the connection between major cities and promoting the improvement of their respective strengths."

When Tu Sun and others heard this, they nodded and said yes.

Fan Kuai's eyes swept across everyone, especially Yang Chen and others for a moment, with a happy smile on his face and said, "I see that people from various cities have added a lot of new faces this year. Yes, we have emerged in many talents. This time, there should be more new faces in the competition, so that the vitality of various cities can be shown."

Yuan Qing and Jian Fu looked at each other, and the two of them smiled, but they kept complaining in their hearts.

Isn’t Fan Kuai’s statement a disguised encouragement of Yang Chen, a person who commits rebellious crimes, so will their subordinates in the city also be supported in the future if they want to replace them?

However, despite their inner dissatisfaction, they dared not show it in the slightest.

After all, this seemingly gentle City Lord Fan Kuai is the top figure in their power.

Fan Kuai suddenly sighed: "In recent years, the power in the Puppet City has grown rapidly. Although they have been reluctant and have not taken a large scale from Red Clay with us, in some places where forces intersect, their layout has become more meticulous and has already gained the upper hand. We have to be vigilant about this."

"What the city lord said is very... In recent years, Liangcheng, which is not far from our Tongcheng, has been moving frequently. He often sends hunting teams to cross the border into our territory to hunt foreign beasts. Although they will take the initiative to retreat every time they have a little contact with our hunting team. However, after trying this kind of contact too many times, it still makes people feel a little uneasy."

When Jian Fu heard this, he frowned and said.

"We have similar situations, but small-scale conflicts broke out several times, and in the end we won most of them." Tu Sun said with a rather complacent look on her face.

"Our Shicheng is far away from the Puppet City, so it's relatively calm, but some secret spies sneak in happens from time to time. Before coming, I personally executed a gladiator with great combat power. That guy has been hiding in my arena for thousands of years. I was forced into a desperate situation and used the puppet technique that was at the bottom of the box." Yuan Qing also spoke.

"Hey, it seems that the situation is turbulent now. Speaking of which, Yangcheng was turbulent before, I was afraid that it would be the easiest to be infiltrated by the Puppet City. Lord Yang Chen should be careful." Tu Sun looked at Yang Chen and said with deep meaning.

"Sir, Yangcheng, no matter whether it is in the past or present, he has never relaxed his vigilance against the Puppet City. Please rest assured of this." Yang Chen ignored Tu Sun and directly clasped his fists to Fan Kuai.

"It's okay, it's okay. I suddenly remembered this matter and said a few words... Now I'm going to get back to the point. Let's talk about the situation of this competition first." Fan Kuai waved his hand and said.

When everyone heard this, they all calmed down and waited for him to speak again.

"The specific rules are not much different from the past. You four cities each recommend twelve candidates, whether it is the captains of each city or the chief gladiators, you can participate. The main city Xuancheng sent 16 people, a total of 64 people to compete for the winner through a pair of competitions. As long as you can finally enter the top three, you can get a reward, and those who can pass multiple rounds of competitions and get the first place will receive an unexpected major reward." Fan Kuai smiled and said.

"Ahem...what is the unexpected major reward? Why is the city lord now holding it aside?" Yuan Qing raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"There are still three months left before the official martial arts meeting. Please allow me to sell this secret for a while. I will announce it when the official opening of martial arts. In short, it will definitely not disappoint you." Fan Kuai's smile on his face even stronger.

When everyone heard this, they naturally would not have any objections.

"During these three months, you can temporarily stay in my Xuancheng Villa. If you want to practice in advance, you can also go to several arenas in the city to participate in the free fight." Fan Kuai said.

After saying that, he exchanged greetings with everyone for a while and left first.

After the brief meeting, the people from the four affiliated cities had their own thoughts and no longer had the energy to compete with each other. Yuan Qing Jianfu and others each took the team to leave first.

Yang Chen and others finally walked out of the hall and saw the man named Song Tong waiting outside the hall.

"Dear guests in Yangcheng, are you going to stroll around the city now, or follow me to settle in Xuancheng Villa first?" Song Tong took the initiative to greet him and asked.

"The boat and car have been working hard for a long time. If you have any help, fellow Taoists will take us to the villa first." Yang Chen and Yang Feng looked at each other and spoke.

"Okay. Then please follow me." Song Tong nodded and said.

So everyone led them out of the City Lord's Mansion and headed all the way to the west of the city, and finally came to a building complex with an area larger than that of the City Lord's Mansion.

"I'm really sorry, people from the other three cities came earlier and had already selected some places in the villa. Although the remaining Liangfeng Xiaozhu and Baishiyuan are not bad, the guest houses are spread a little sparse and the distance between them is farther. You may have to live a little dispersed." As soon as you entered the villa gate, Song Tong said a little apologetically.

"It's okay. It's a good thing to disperse a little, and it's even quieter." Yang Chen's mind was a little erratic, and he didn't care.

"That's good." Song Tong smiled.

Everyone followed him and built a building in Fengliangxiao, a southwest corner of the villa.

The rooms here are built side by side like inns, which are quite simple. The materials used are the black stones that can isolate the spiritual consciousness, which makes everyone feel much more at ease.

There are many rooms, and Yang Feng and others live in one room.

Yang Feng checked the various parts of the room, and there was no place where anyone was messing around, so he sat cross-legged and silently.

Time passed quickly, and it was late at night in a blink of an eye.

Yang Feng suddenly opened his eyes, opened the door and walked out.

There is tranquility outside, a bright moon hangs high in the air, sprinkling bright light, but it further highlights the tranquility here.

Yang Feng glanced at the moon in mid-air, frowned slightly, then withdrew his gaze, walked forward, and soon came to a room and knocked on the door lightly.

"Yang Feng?"

A few seconds later, a sound came from the door, and then the door of the room slowly opened, and the figure of the Golden Bee appeared inside the door.

Yang Feng glanced at the King of Golden Bee, walked in and said, "Fellow Daoist Yang Chen, I've disturbed him late at night."

At this time, Yang Chen did not rest and sat cross-legged in the room.

Yang Chen asked with a smile: "Where? Please sit down. I wonder what happened if you come late at night?"

After Yang Feng sat down, he said directly: "I had an agreement with fellow Taoist Yang Chen before that if I didn't find a way to remove the black centipede, I could change another request, right? This time I came here to discuss this matter with you."

Yang Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I don't know what your requirements are. As long as I can do what I can, I will do my best and will not disappoint you again."

Yang Feng said slowly: "I want to ask you to help me check two people, one is called Kong Shi and the other is called Yan Yu, who was exiled to the empty realm within a hundred years. I also asked fellow Taoist Yang Chen to give me a clear answer before the competition."
