Shen Longxuan saw that this Great General was still considered to be impartial and did not directly condemn him for the words of Lin Xiao and the others, and said indifferently."Great General, they said the exact opposite. I was surrounded and killed the moment I returned, and if I didn"t resist desperately, I would have already died a violent death. Great General, please uphold justice for me.
If we allow this worm to live in the city, it will harm even more people.
The tall and st.u.r.dy Great General stared at the crowd, "Each of you keep your own words, there must be people lying. Men, bring them all back, we will investigate them carefully!"
The moment Great General"s voice fell, Wu Hong rushed out with a group of people behind him. He blinked his eyes at Shen Longxuan and whispered: "Brother Shen, we meet again, City Lord has predicted that Lin Xiao will take revenge on you, so he sent us to bring you back."
Shen Longxuan slightly nodded his head, and was brought back to City Lord"s Mansion together with Lin Xiao and the rest. Although they knew that the people"s hearts were sinister, what they said was not wrong, if they fought, it would definitely be a huge battle, and the victor would be forgotten first. Offending the power of the City Lord"s Mansion, was not a wise decision.
Upon entering the City Lord"s Mansion, Shen Longxuan and the rest were imprisoned, but Shen Longxuan was quickly released and brought to the City Lord Hall by the Chief Housekeeper.
This hall was not luxurious, but it gave off a heavy feeling. Everything was tall and big, making people feel small.
There were only two people in the great hall, the Great General who was just there, and the other person who was sitting on a chair. He was actually extremely handsome in this life, and even if his face were on a woman, it would still be beauties.
The Great General beside him was only in the early stages of the third stage of the Martial Emperor Stage, while he was already in the late stage of the third stage. Although the difference was only two small realms, the difference in strength was like heaven and earth.
"Shen Longxuan, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Lin Xiao is the orphan left behind by a close relative of mine in the distance. His parents both died in battle while fighting against the Ming Clan, he is a true hero.
That"s why I doted on him so much, which is why I have made this unfilial son of mine today. All of this is my fault, I hope that Dear Nephew Shen would give me face and not lower yourself to him! "
The City Lord spoke with confidence and familiarity, causing people to feel extremely close to him, yet Shen Longxuan actually had no way to refute him.
"I"ll leave everything to the mayor. However, I am indeed not at fault for what happened today …"
"Alright, you don"t need to say anymore. I know the whole story. That useless thing only wants to kill you because you stole his cousin. But even if I don"t save you, I believe you will be fine.
Furthermore, the Great General thinks very highly of you. I heard that you have pa.s.sed three tests consecutively in your a.s.sessment, so he wanted to keep you in the army. I don"t know what your thoughts are? "
Just now, he had personally witnessed the terrifying strength of Shen Longxuan"s fleshly body, and how he was able to withstand the attacks of the three great Half-Step Martial Emperor Stage, but to think that nothing would happen to him. With this kind of ability, even within his army, very few people were able to accomplish it.
Moreover, Shen Longxuan"s actions were not like how he looked, but instead filled with determination to kill, exactly like a soldier. The most important thing was that he was clever, and was a rare talent, a talent that would shine when he entered the army.
Shen Longxuan truly wished to live in the army. He felt that that was a place that a martial cultivator should go to.
But it"s still not over yet. He said to the two city lords, "City Lord, Great General, although I have the will to join the army, the matters at hand are not yet possible. Thus, I cannot accept your invitation."
Shen Longxuan"s tactful rejection was already within their expectations. The city lord laughed and said: "My daughter said that you are going to find someone, looks like it"s true, but her evaluation of you is extremely high.
Therefore, I would like to invite you to represent our Golden Wheat City and partic.i.p.ate in the Hundred City Compet.i.tion. The compet.i.tion will decide the rankings of the top hundred in the Spirit Heaven Ranking, which is the supreme glory of the young people in the Spirit Sky County.
Therefore, the number of people entering the compet.i.tion for each city will increase, proving that the strength of this city is stronger. The resources allocated will also be greater, and the reward for the top hundred list will also be extremely great. "
"Spirit Heaven Ranking?" Shen Longxuan"s eyes were shining brightly. Every young martial cultivator had a dream to make their name known in all directions, and out of the hundreds of millions of people, as long as there was a chance, they would fight for the top hundred no matter what.
This kind of glory was even higher than the City Lord"s. When it came to the City Lord, perhaps no one would know about it, but when it came to the Spirit Sky 100, everyone would definitely know about it.
This was not only a t.i.tle, but a symbol of power.
"If I enter the top hundred in the Spirit Heaven Ranking, it will be beneficial for me to find my mother, this will also be the first step to establish my foothold in Dragon G.o.d Realm. If I am able to become famous in Heavenly King of The West City, then he will have the strength to fight against the Ming Clan, and the chance of finding and saving my mother will be even greater."
Shen Longxuan"s heart was in turmoil, but he then heard the Great General continue to speak: "After obtaining the top hundred in the Spirit Heaven Ranking, I have gained the qualifications to become the West Heaven Stele of One Thousand People.
Inside Heavenly King of The West City, there was a mystical stone tablet that was worshipped by countless people. On it were the names of 10,000 people, and each one of these people had a name that shook the 12 counties, some even had prestige in the entire Dragon G.o.d Realm.
The number one person on the Western Paradise Monument was already at the Martial Saint Realm, and he was not even a hundred years old yet. He was the number one genius of the twelve counties, and even the weakest person on the Monument was a Martial King.
Shen Longxuan was dumbstruck when he heard this. To be able to reach the Martial Sovereign Stage Realm before even being a hundred years old, this was simply inconceivable. His master, Gu Ziyue, was already more than four hundred years old and had only just advanced to the Martial Sovereign Stage.
Furthermore, the weakest among the Stele of One Thousand People s were still the Martial Emperor Stage, which reminded him of back then when he was still in Dragon Martial Sect, when he charged into the Tongtian Tower. The silent and pa.s.sionate blood was once again ignited in his heart and right now, he had already made up his mind that he would leave Shen Longxuan"s name on the Stele of One Thousand People.
The Mayor and the Great General looked at each other and smiled. They saw the fire of war in Shen Longxuan"s eyes, so the mayor nodded happily and said:
"Speaking of which, I have to tell you that in the eight marquises and twelve counties under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly King of The West, the Spirit Sky County is the smallest county with only sixty-eight cities.
Therefore, in the Spirit Heaven Hundred Compet.i.tion, every city does not have a limit on the number of partic.i.p.ants, but they need to have Seventh Stage of Martial Grandmaster Stage s and above, and you just happen to qualify. I feel that with your potential, after a few decades, you will definitely be able to rush into the Stele of One Thousand People. "
"Alright, I"ll partic.i.p.ate. I wonder how long it will take before the compet.i.tion starts?" Shen Longxuan asked.
The City Lord nodded his head, "In half a year, the compet.i.tion will start. At that time, our Golden Wheat City will send ten warriors to the Spirit Heaven City, so during this time, you should cultivate in the City Lord"s Mansion. If you need any resources, just let me know, the Chief Housekeeper will arrange everything."
"Many thanks City Lord!"
When Shen Longxuan walked out of the City Lord"s Main Hall, he was arranged by the Chief Housekeeper to live in.
His cultivation had not trained seriously ever since he broke through, because the elemental infant would cultivate on its own inside his dantian. Furthermore, with the a.s.sistance of the fire attribute divine stone, his cultivation had grown by quite a bit.
Shen Longxuan only used three months of time to raise his cultivation to the eighth level of the Martial Grandmaster Stage.
He saw that the divine stone in his dantian was getting smaller and smaller, and he would need to rely on the battle spirit to cultivate in the future. Thus, other than cultivating, he would also condense Spirit Stone.
