In a dark room in Rivertown, two figures sat opposite each other.
"The assassination failed?"
A cold and gloomy voice slowly sounded.
"Shenlang has too many experts around him. The Bloody Massacre Hall was annihilated before they could even touch him."
The other figure said slowly.
"Trash! Go back and continue hiding. You must kill Shenlang for me. If this Shenlang is not eliminated, he will be a big threat. "
"Yes!"
As the figure left, the room quietened down. The remaining figure also slowly disappeared into the darkness.
…
"Lang 'er, the Grand Competition of the Four Families of Rivertown will be held in two days. How are your injuries?"
Shen Wuming sat in Shenlang's room and asked with concern.
"Father, I've basically recovered. Ninth Childe Feng's medical skills are good. Plus, my inner strength is strong. I'm fine now."
Shenlang said with a smile.
"Good. Lang 'er, the Grand Competition depends on you. This time, the Shen Family must get the first place."
Shen Wuming said with his eyes shining. If the Shen Family could get the first place in the Grand Competition of the Four Families, they would enter a period of rapid development. The day when they suppressed the other three families would be just around the corner.
Shenlang did not care about the Grand Competition of the Four Families. Those rotten tomatoes and eggs were not worth mentioning at all.
What he was thinking about now was how to find the assassin and the second half of Chang Chunzi's treasure map.
…
Time passed quickly. It was the day of the Grand Competition of the Four Families. Shen Wuming brought the Shen Family's disciples to the Castellan Mansion.
The Zhenwu Continent had a strong martial atmosphere. Every Castellan Mansion of the Castellan Mansion would have a Martial Arts Arena. The Martial Arts Arena was prepared for the Imperial Court to select their lackeys. At the same time, it was also a place for the sects and families to settle their grudges. Of course, if they wanted to fight to the death, the Imperial Court would not care. They could choose a remote place to settle it as long as they did not hurt the innocent.
At this moment, the City Lord's Mansion was bustling with noise and excitement. All kinds of Jianghu people with swords and sabers walked in and out. Every time the Four Great Clans Tournament came, the City Lord's Mansion would be open to the public. Of course, some important military locations would also be closed off.
The Mayor's Mansion occupied a huge area, more than twice the size of the Shen Family.
Just as Shen Wuming arrived at the door, a general in silver armor welcomed him. "Uncle Shen, you've come. Please come in."
The silver-armored general said enthusiastically.
"Hehe, Young General is so impressive today. Like father, like son."
Shen Wuming laughed and said.
"Haha, Uncle Shen, I heard that today is the big day of the Four Clans Competition, so I specially rushed back from the army camp to see the glory of all my brothers."
After saying that, Wei Long's eyes glowed as he glanced behind Shen Wuming.
When he made eye contact with Shenlang, Wei Long's pupils shrank slightly.
Shenlang's eyes seemed dull, but in fact, they were full of aggressiveness. Once someone came into contact with them, they would feel as if they were being stared at by a ferocious beast.
Wei Long took a deep look at Shenlang, clasped his fist and said to Shen Wuming, "The Shen Family is really full of geniuses. It seems that today's tournament will be interesting."
Shen Wuming knew that Wei Long and Shenlang must have tested each other, so he didn't say anything. Instead, he walked in with a smile.
As soon as Shen Wuming and others entered, Bai Zizai came over with the Bai Family.
Wei Long was even more enthusiastic this time. He first respectfully bowed to Bai Lingshan, then came to the front of Bai Lingshan and said gently, "Sister Ling Shan, I specially rushed back from the army camp to cheer for you. I guess that sister Ling Shan already has a card up her sleeve for this Four Clans Competition, right?"
Hearing Wei Long's words, Bai Lingshan would have been very confident in herself in the past. But now, when she thought of Shen Lang, she felt as if there was a huge mountain pressing down on her head, making it hard for her to breathe.
Bai Lingshan's expression was unnatural as she replied with an "En" sound.
Bai Zizai, who was in front, certainly knew what Bai Lingshan was thinking. He immediately said, "Thank you for your encouragement, Young Master Wei. I believe that Shan 'er will definitely get a good result."
Bai Zizai, as the head of the family, certainly knew how to behave. If he said that the first place was his for the sake of face, it would be embarrassing if he lost face.
Although Wei Long felt that the Bai Family was a bit abnormal today, he didn't think too much about it. Instead, he gently said to Bai Lingshan, "Ling Shan, there is a person in the Shen Family that you must be careful of. I feel that person is not simple."
"Shua!"
Bai Lingshan's face turned pale. She knew who Wei Long was talking about. It must be Shenlang, because in the Shen Family, only Shenlang could make Wei Long give such an evaluation.
Wei Long fell in love with Bai Lingshan when he first saw her two years ago. Later, he learned about Bai Lingshan's identity from the intelligence department of the City Lord Mansion. He felt that with Bai Lingshan's identity and talent, she was definitely worthy of him.
He also knew about the marriage between Shenlang and Bai Lingshan. However, after he learned about Shenlang's information, he no longer cared about it. Shenlang was just a young master with mediocre talent and a weak character. He couldn't be compared with him at all.
He had never seen Shenlang before. He just glanced at the information and didn't pay attention to Shenlang. Therefore, he didn't know Shenlang.
Wei Long had already joined the army before Wei Zhang came to Jiang City to be the City Lord. The high-end force of the Qianwu Empire had always been in the army. Therefore, many children of the imperial court officials served in the army.
Wei Long also met many sons of the officials in the army. He also learned good martial arts. Therefore, in a small place like Jiang City, there was no one at the same level as him that could catch his eye.
Wei Long was now at the pinnacle of the Acquired Realm. If there were no accidents, he would definitely enter the Innate Realm after one or two years of consolidation. At that time, he would definitely be promoted to a Military Marquis. He was only the leader of a ten-man team now. If he was promoted to a Military Marquis, he would be able to command a thousand-man team.
The Qianwu Empire had millions of soldiers. Among them, there were as many Acquired Warriors as dogs. Innate Experts were everywhere. Even Emptiness Realm Experts were common. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to suppress the twenty-one top forces so that they didn't dare to act rashly.
These were the forces that the Qianwu Empire had accumulated over ten thousand years. Of course, these forces couldn't be used to suppress the country. Most of them were sent by the Qianwu Great Emperor to the borders to defend the surrounding countries.
Those troops were under the control of the military marshal of each region. The military marshal of each region was held by the Royal Prince of the Qianwu Empire.
These powers definitely couldn't be handed over to outsiders. The reason why the Qianwu Empire had always been so powerful was because the Royal Family controlled the world's largest military organization, the "army".
Bai Lingshan's unnatural expression only flashed by for a moment. She then forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Big Brother Wei, for your advice. Ling Shan thanks you."
"Hey! Sister Ling Shan, you don't have to be so polite. This is what I should do. "
Wei Long waved his hand and said.
At this moment, the Zhang Clan and the Su Clan also arrived.
