The afterglow of the setting sun illuminated the west with a red hue.
The golden characters reflected the afterglow of the red hue, giving off an indescribable glory.
One after another, young elites came from afar, some fast, some slow, and some fast. They passed through the grand white jade door and entered the garden.
The sun was setting in the west.
Chen Zong and Guan Yunxi walked in the afterglow of the setting sun.
The first thing they saw was the white jade stele dozens of meters away. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, it seemed to be covered with a layer of red gauze. The white and red complemented each other, giving off an indescribable magnificence.
On the six-meter-tall white jade stele, three golden characters were written from top to bottom.
Splendid Garden!
"Splendid Garden was built three hundred years ago and was led by three Lv 9 True Martial Realm martial artists. At first, it was a money-squandering establishment for high-end martial artists to enjoy themselves. However, those three martial artists were discovered by the Marquis of Linshan at that time and eliminated them in one fell swoop. Guan Yunxi spoke with confidence and assurance. "Since then, Splendid Garden has been transformed into a gathering place for talented martial artists of the younger generation. However, only those with sufficient qualifications can apply to use Splendid Garden."
Chen Zong nodded. The so-called sufficient qualifications referred to status and strength.
Ordinary martial artists did not have the qualifications at all.
After passing through the white jade stele, there was an arched door made of white jade.
On the two thick pillars, there were carvings of hundreds of beasts. The carvings were vivid and lifelike. The carvings wound around the pillars and reached a height of ten meters. The arched part at the top was a hollow relief. It was magnificent and had a kind of atmosphere.
Chen Zong and Guan Yunxi walked through the white jade door side by side and entered Splendid Garden.
Hundreds of flowers bloomed in front of them. The flowers were beautiful.
It was as if they were walking in a sea of flowers. They walked along the road that was not smooth but very comfortable. After three turns, octagonal pavilions appeared in front of them.
At a glance, there were 19 octagonal pavilions in total. One of them was the center, and the other 18 surrounded it. The pavilion in the center was the largest, and the other 18 pavilions were only half the size.
In each pavilion, there was a round, quaint stone table and four carved stone chairs.
At this moment, some of the pavilions were occupied while others were empty.
"Junior Brother, let's sit here." Guan Yunxi walked to an empty pavilion and sat down. Chen Zong didn't mind and sat down as well.
People kept walking over, either alone or in groups of three or two.
"Yunxi, so you're here." As the voice rang out, Chen Zong saw Wang Zhaolong walk into the pavilion and sit down beside Guan Yunxi. Wang Zhaolong immediately glanced at Chen Zong, and a strange look flashed across his eyes. It was very complicated.
"Chen Shidi," Wang Zhaolong greeted him.
"Senior Brother Wang." Chen Zong returned the greeting.
Senior Brother and Junior Brother were only terms of address between the disciples of Overlook Mountain Courtyard. It had a different meaning than Senior Sister and Junior Brother.
At that moment, Chen Zong saw Guan Yunxi and Wang Zhaolong looking in the same direction. He also turned his head and saw a man in white slowly walking towards them. Coincidentally, a ray of moonlight fell on his body. It was as if he had just arrived, and he was as light as a fairy.
Her long black hair hung down behind her back. Her skin was as flawless as white jade and ruddy as the moon. Her eyes were like the silhouettes of ripples, bright and moving. Chen Zong saw a trace of extreme sharpness in the depths of her clear eyes. That was the sharpness of a sword.
"Shi Huanyue, she really came." Wang Zhaolong's tone was low and dignified.
"Is she Shi Huanyue?" Chen Zong thought to himself. His eyes became more focused, and a trace of light flashed in the bottom of his eyes. It seemed that he was going to see through Shi Huanyue.
For a moment, all eyes fell on Shi Huanyue. They were amazed, in awe, in love, and in possession of her.
It was undeniable that Shi Huanyue was not only a super genius with the fighting strength of a four-star early stage, but also a woman with an excellent appearance and figure. Such a woman would make people want to conquer her.
As if she had noticed Chen Zong's gaze, Shi Huanyue slightly moved her straight line of sight and looked over.
There seemed to be the sound of swords being unsheathed. Two rays of sword light pierced through the void and came straight at them. They were too fast to be dodged. Chen Zong didn't think about dodging, and his sharp eyes met them head-on.
Their eyes met, and the invisible sword light collided. There seemed to be the sound of swords clashing in the void, and countless sparks flying.
Only Chen Zong and Shi Huanyue felt this. The others didn't know. Only Guan Yunxi and Wang Zhaolong, who were sitting beside Chen Zong, seemed to feel it.
They only looked at each other for a moment, and then they looked away, but they left a deep impression on each other.
"Senior Sister." Guan Yunxi and Wang Zhaolong stood up and greeted Shi Huanyue, who walked to the pavilion.
"Senior Sister." Chen Zong also stood up.
"I can sit here, right?" Shi Huanyue's voice didn't sound weak at all. There seemed to be an indescribable sharpness in her heroic spirit.
"Senior Sister, please sit down." Wang Zhaolong spoke first.
"Senior Sister, please sit down." Guan Yunxi also said, seeming a little nervous. Chen Zong, on the other hand, was calm.
For a moment, many people looked over with surprise and jealousy.
Shi Huanyue was sitting here!
It should be known that Shi Huanyue, who had super talent, strength, and beauty, was the object of admiration of countless men. Who didn't want to get close to her? Even if they couldn't get close to her, it would be great to have close contact with her.
Now, Shi Huanyue actually went to sit next to that guy. How lucky! But looking at that guy's expression, he didn't seem to be particularly surprised or excited, which made people jealous and secretly hate him.
For a moment, Chen Zong could feel the eyes from all directions shooting at him like arrows, as if they were going to pierce through him.
However, Chen Zong's expression didn't change at all. Of course, he knew why. It was like being shot while lying down. He could only sigh that Shi Huanyue's charm was really great.
Involuntarily, Chen Zong turned his head and looked at Shi Huanyue more carefully. The more he looked at her, the more he felt she was interesting.
Noticing Chen Zong's gaze, Shi Huanyue also looked over. Chen Zong smiled slightly and didn't feel embarrassed at all.
Shi Huanyue was slightly stunned and also smiled slightly. Her smile was like melting ice and snow, like rolling clouds in the sky, with an indescribable charm, which made people jealous of Chen Zong even more.
"That's Chen Zong."
"Yes, he killed Junior Brother Jiang, Junior Brother Bai, and others."
"Here, although we can't kill him, we have to make him lose face."
Among them, there were also disciples of the Silver Saber Castle.
"Is he the one that Senior Brother Jian is going to challenge?"
"Yes."
"Haha, let's see if he is qualified to be challenged by Senior Brother Jian."
This was a disciple of the Proud Sword Villa.
He was the son of King Chongshan, a National Knight conferred by the dynasty, with a battle strength of the late four-star level, and a famous person on the Flood-dragon List — Ye Feifan.
He came to Mountain Lin City and held a party. Everyone wanted to attend, but there were too few people who were qualified.
Chen Zong glanced at them. The people who came were all young, around the age of twenty. However, they were all at the peak of the Ninth Refinement Stage. Every one of them had at least the combat power of a three-star beginner.
This was a party for geniuses. Only real geniuses were qualified to attend.
Gradually, every pavilion was filled with people. In different pavilions, people were talking in low voices. It was quite noisy when they mixed together.
Suddenly, the noisy discussion quieted down. It was so quiet that even a needle falling to the ground could be heard clearly.
Everyone looked at one place at the same time. There, three people were striding over. One of them was in the lead, and the other two walked slightly behind him on his left and right sides. However, the leader seemed to emit a strong light, like the morning sun, which shone together with the bright moon, completely overshadowing the other two.
"National Knight Ye Feifan …" Someone said in a low voice, which seemed to wake everyone up.
"National Knight Ye …"
One by one, they walked out of the pavilions and saluted the newcomer.
There was a rule in the dynasty that those who did not have an official position had to salute those who had an official position. No one was an exception.
Of course, if the National Knight was in the Qi Refining Realm, then the Real Martial Arts Realm did not need to salute. This was the effect of the absolute gap between cultivation and strength.
After saluting, Chen Zong looked at Ye Feifan carefully.
Ye Feifan's name was amazing, but his appearance was ordinary. It could only be said that he was more good-looking than ordinary people. He could not be called handsome, but at a second glance, there was a strange feeling that he seemed to have a unique charm.
He was like the bright moon in the sky, surrounded by stars, so bright and prominent.
The charm formed by the contrast between his ordinary appearance and his unique temperament was even more eye-catching.
With a smile on his face, Ye Feifan walked to the pavilion in the middle with a long sword at his waist. The two people behind him followed closely like guards.
"Everyone, please take a seat." Ye Feifan opened his mouth, his voice was gentle like spring water flowing into everyone's heart. "You are all young talents of Linshan County. I feel honored to be able to attend the gathering of the National Knights."
"It is our honor to be able to attend National Knight Ye's gathering."
"Yes, many people dream of attending."
Ye Feifan's words were full of flattery, and he flattered everyone. Together with his identity, it made everyone feel honored.
People lived in the world for fame and fortune, for face. Ordinary people were like that, and warriors were even more so. Even warriors who had experienced the hardships of the world also had their own face.
Face and who was flattering were completely different.
If Ye Feifan was just an ordinary person, some people might pay attention to him when he said something like that.
Chen Zong and the others did not say anything, and they all sat down.
"Let me introduce you." Ye Feifan opened his mouth again and pointed to a man who was about the same age to his left. "This is Qiu Honglie. He is in the early stage of the Ninth Transformation of the Qi Refining Realm. He is ranked 63rd on the Powerful Dragon Ranking."
Everyone was shocked, and they all looked at Qiu Honglie's face. Qiu Honglie smiled proudly.
He was only in the early stage of the Ninth Transformation of the Qi Refining Realm, but he was ranked 83rd on the Powerful Dragon Ranking. His battling power was at least at the peak of the Three-Star level. If Qiu Honglie reached the peak of the Ninth Transformation of the Qi Refining Realm, his battling power would be able to reach the Four-Star level.
