During the first round of the Imperial Capital's grand meeting, the Soaring Mist Manor's opponent was another manor.
Originally, the Soaring Fog Manor had carefully investigated a lot of information about their opponents. However, they did not expect that the other party would have a young genius who had gone out to gain experience and come back this year. He was a genius who was just a step away from stepping into the King Realm. He easily defeated the ten people from the Soaring Fog Manor, causing the Soaring Fog Manor to get zero points.
The next day, the elimination battles of the Imperial Capital's distinguished meeting began.
Long Yu didn't bring anyone to watch the battle, because there was no need.
What did it have to do with him who was eliminated?
No!
As for Soaring Fog Manor, it was likely that it would be doomed. Long Yu did not have a good impression of this faction that had plotted against Long Yu, so he was happy to see it eliminated.
"The Soaring Mist Manor had arranged for many people to spy on us outside the manor, but they didn't expect that they would be the ones to be eliminated."
Hong Yue said with a chuckle.
"Either leave the Soaring Mist Manor, or pay a hundred thousand Shenbi."
Long Yu smiled faintly. A hundred thousand shenbi was not a small amount, even for the Northern Snow Royal Capital. That was equivalent to eighty million Northern Snow coins!
In the North Snow Empire, the Northern Snow Dollar was still the most commonly used currency. Its purchasing power was already quite strong. Eighty million Northern Snow Dollars was definitely a huge sum for the Soaring Mist Manor.
Of course, the current Manor Master of the Soaring Mist Manor was a King Realm expert, and he could participate in the Competition of the Soaring Mist Manor that would be held soon. However, how could this be an easy task?
If he was careless and lost, he would lose everything.
Therefore, the majority of the three manors and two mansions that were eliminated would choose to pay up, even if they had to sell everything they had or borrow money from everywhere!
Long Yu and the others from the Heavenly Mandate Manor did not pay much attention to the elimination battle. However, in the evening, the young master of the Teng Wu Manor, Teng Xingyun, personally came to the Heavenly Mandate Manor with a group of subordinates.
He came to borrow money.
However, Long Yu suspected that there was something wrong with this kid's brain. Since he was here to borrow money, why didn't he lower his stance? Instead, he acted condescending.
It was as if the Heavenly Mandate Manor was asking them to lend them the money!
Hong Yue rejected the other party's request to borrow money.
What kind of joke was this?
Didn't Young Master Teng Xingyun look down on the Heavenly Mandate Manor? Then why did he need to borrow money? What's more, the Heavenly Mandate Manor didn't have much money. Of course, they couldn't lend it out!
Before leaving, Teng Xingyun warned the Heavenly Mandate Manor to be careful. He would make the Heavenly Mandate Manor pay the price sooner or later.
A murderous intent flashed across Long Yu's eyes as he watched Teng Xingyun leave with his subordinates. He then performed the Divine Concealment technique and followed them quietly.
…
That night, the people of the Soaring Fog Manor spread out to the nearby manors to borrow money. Some manors that were on good terms with the Soaring Fog Manor actually lent them some money, allowing the Soaring Fog Manor to gather 100,000 shenbi with great difficulty.
However, when Teng Tianqiao, the manor lord of Teng Wu Manor, handed over 100,000 divine coins to Yu Hanxin's men and heaved a sigh of relief, he suddenly realized that his son, Teng Xingyun, was missing.
Teng Xingyun went out with his men to borrow money, but they didn't come back for the whole night. They disappeared just like that!
Teng Tianqiao immediately sent people out to look for his son. When they passed by a few manors, the people in these manors all said that they saw Teng Xingyun and lent him money. Then, Teng Xingyun left.
Who knew where Teng Xingyun was now?
It wasn't just Teng Xingyun. More than a dozen of his men who went out with Teng Xingyun to borrow money the day before had all disappeared. This made Teng Tianqiao's expression turn extremely ugly.
Of course, he knew his son's character. If it wasn't for borrowing money, he definitely wouldn't have allowed his son to go out at night.
Based on his son's behavior, it was unknown how many forces he had offended. It was extremely dangerous for him to go out!
What surprised Teng Tianqiao was that he had clearly assigned a Seven Divine Realms cultivator to protect Teng Xingyun. Now, even that cultivator had gone missing.
Teng Tianqiao searched like a madman, but it was to no avail.
The culprit, Long Yu, was currently in the Heavenly Mandate Manor, cultivating leisurely.
When he was fighting with Zhang Yingwu of Lingxue Commandery, he had comprehended the innate magic, Hand of Nine Nether, to the fourth layer of heaven. It became a mid-level magic and derived a formless attack method, which greatly increased his strength.
Last night, he followed Teng Xingyun out and deliberately waited for Teng Xingyun to go to a few more manors to borrow money before he killed him. Teng Xingyun and his men all died.
"Twenty thousand Shenbi, got it."
Long Yu opened his eyes and chuckled. He didn't expect Teng Xingyun to really be able to borrow twenty thousand Shenbi. It was unexpected. Unfortunately, these twenty thousand Shenbi became Long Yu's.
If it was within the North Snow Imperial City, Long Yu certainly wouldn't dare to do so. However, in the manors and forces outside the North Snow Imperial City, Long Yu did it quietly and no one would find out.
Such incidents were not uncommon in the North Snow Empire.
No matter how strong Yu Hanxin was, it was impossible for her to prevent assassinations from happening in the entire North Snow Empire.
In this world where martial arts were respected, strength was the eternal theme. Being killed only meant that one's strength was insufficient. As for rules and order, they were just tools used by stronger people to rule.
Fortunately, with the strength that Long Yu had displayed, no one would try to assassinate him. The gains did not make up for the losses!
Everyone knew that even Ling Zhengyang of Lingxue Commandery, the leader of the Lingxue Fox Clan, wanted to kill Long Yu, but Long Yu avoided it. It was obvious that it was difficult to kill Long Yu quietly even for a King's Realm cultivator.
Once exposed, what awaited them would be the pursuit of the North Snow Empire represented by Yu Hanxin!
Moreover, Long Yu was cultivating and resting in the Heavenly Mandate Manor. He was not afraid of being assassinated at all. If they had the guts, they would first destroy the courtyard where he lived!
Even Yu Hanxin couldn't break the courtyard that was reinforced by the crystals of divine characters, let alone a King's Realm cultivator.
That was why Long Yu was so at ease when he was cultivating and resting …
Two days passed, and Long Yu mainly focused on the aspect of compatibility with the Nether Dragon Blade. Ever since he and the Nether Dragon Blade were connected, the degree of compatibility between the two had been slowly growing. Now, it had finally reached a critical point.
With just an opportunity, the degree of compatibility between Long Yu and the Nether Dragon Blade could be raised to a higher level, reaching the level of compatibility with Tianqi!
If it was compatible with Tianqi, then the Nether Dragon Blade would begin to develop self-awareness. Although it still couldn't fight by itself, it would be able to understand Long Yu's meaning more clearly, and the smoothness of the battle would increase greatly.
Moreover, after it was compatible with Tianqi, there would definitely be more uses for the Nether Dragon Blade, which would undoubtedly increase Long Yu's combat ability.
At the same time, Long Yu didn't stop cultivating in the Martial Arts Realm. He stayed in the Cultivation Tower of the Heavenly Mandate Manor for two days and felt that the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in his body was much more abundant. However, there was still a long way to go before he could step into the Four Divine Realms.
There wasn't much time left for Long Yu, and it wasn't that easy for him to improve.
Two days passed quickly, and the second round of the Imperial Capital Grand Meeting was about to begin, which was to send a martial arts practitioner as a representative to draw lots to fight against the representatives of other forces.
This time, all 256 forces would participate, including the young geniuses from the Secret Realms of the King's Path. Moreover, three forces with manors and two forces with mansions that had been eliminated had all chosen to pay. In this way, no manors or mansions would really be eliminated.
All 256 forces would send representatives, and 16 people would form a group to fight. In other words, there would be a total of 16 groups, and 12 of them would have cultivators from the King's Realm participating.
In everyone's opinion, once they were in the same group as a cultivator from the King's Realm, they would definitely not be able to win the first place.
In the second round, the person who could stand until the end was, of course, the first place, who would get 16 points. The second last person to leave the field would be the second place, who would get 14 points, and so on.
The eighth place would get two points, and there would be no points to be gained after that.
The second round of the Imperial Capital Grand Meeting would be held on the third day after the first round of the Imperial Capital Grand Meeting. The participants would directly enter the field to draw lots, and then immediately engage in the battle royale. It wasn't like the first round where the participants were given time to prepare.
On this day, many people wanted to follow Long Yu to the huge Martial Arts Practice Field. They wanted to witness Long Yu's strength with their own eyes!
Long Yu didn't refuse this. All those who wanted to follow him to watch the battle had to stay with Gu Yixian to avoid being tricked by others.
Long Yu had assassinated the Young Master of the Teng Wu Manor, Teng Xingyun, so he naturally wouldn't be careless. He didn't want all these people to be killed by others. That would be tragic …
After arriving at the huge Martial Arts Practice Field at the center of the Northern Snow Imperial Capital, everyone sat at the spectator area, and then Long Yu went up to draw lots.
There were 256 jade slips, and there were 16 numbers from 1 to 16 recorded within them. There were 16 copies of each number, and the number that was drawn would determine the group.
"The eighth group!"
Long Yu casually took out a jade strip and discovered that he was in the eighth group that was engaged in a chaotic battle.
"I'm also in the eighth group."
After a while, Shu Chan came to Long Yu's side and looked at Long Yu. The two looked at each other and smiled.
They were both in the eighth group. In this way, the two of them had a higher chance of winning first place!
"The eighth group, not bad, not bad."
A faint voice came from the side. It was the Crown Prince of the Dragon Residence, Long Yao. He glanced at Long Yu and Shu Chan, "Coincidentally, I also drew the eighth group. It seems that the two of you have no chance."
The Crown Prince of the Dragon Residence, Long Yao, had also drawn the eighth group!
This was a young expert in the King's Realm!
"The pressure is really great."
Long Yu heard Long Yao's words and glanced at Shu Chan beside him. He chuckled and said.
"It's quite challenging."
Shu Chan's eyes also lit up.
The two of them did not panic at all because they were in the same group as Long Yao. Instead, they found it interesting!
In fact, for Long Yu and Shu Chan, even if they faced Long Yao alone, they would not be easily defeated. And if the two of them joined forces, it was not impossible to deal with a strong person in the King's Realm.
The two of them had faced many strong people in the King's Realm.
Although they used to rely on external forces, during this time, Long Yu and Shu Chan had made rapid progress and their strength was much stronger than before!
