"Squeak".

The main hall door slowly opened, revealing a spacious hall inside. This hall didn't even look like it was decorated, only a dozen large chairs.

All the rest of the places were vacant, but Ji Cheng, as the seal master, immediately discovered the uniqueness of the hall. In this vacant place, dense stripes were carved on the ground.

Although Ji Cheng had never seen these patterns, he heard Ji Changkong mention them at the beginning. There was a strange method called formation. By carving some strange patterns and supplemented with Yuanqi stone, the power of the formation can be stimulated.

If it is a powerful formation, it can even trap or kill a powerful palm seal master!

Ji Zhike understood that these patterns should be the formations of carving.

As if seeing Ji Cheng's puzzled gaze, Yi Zu laughed and explained: "This is a formation, specially carved. At that time, the Nine City Ceremony will be used when the master seal masters compete."

Ji Cheng has no research on formations. Ordinary people just condense the power of divine patterns and practice various inherited seals, let alone study formations.

The methods of the seal master are as vast as smoke. If everyone is really proficient in it, it is impossible. The foundation of the seal master is still the main seal of the divine pattern, or the mystery of understanding the power of heaven and earth.

"Haha, the Nine City Festival has finally begun. I can't wait!"

From outside the door, a hearty laughter came, and then a white figure rushed in like a flame.

This is an old man with white hair and beard, with a red face and looks energetic. However, his long eyebrows are very eye-catching.

"Ancestor Changmei, you are still the same!"

As soon as he saw this old man, a smile appeared on Yi Zu's face. It seemed that he had a good relationship with the Changmei Zu.

"Haha, Yi Zu, the Nine City Ceremony once a hundred years. I can't wait. Some of my junior disciples, who have the qualifications of a palm seal master, always need the Yuanqi Stone. I'm really scared of poverty. This time I can get more Yuanqi Stone ore veins, which can always be alleviated."

Although the ancestor Changmei said it heavy, he could not hide a hint of joy on his face. It seemed that some geniuses should have appeared in his clan, which made him feel overjoyed.

However, even the talented genius needs the Yuanqi Stone. Without Yuanqi Stone, the Palm Seal Master cannot grow up. Therefore, the Nine City Ceremony once every hundred years. The strongest of these Nine City will use all means to strive for a better ranking in the ceremony, so as to get more Yuanqi Stone ore veins.

With the arrival of the Changmei Ancestor, some seal masters flew in one after another. They were all the lords of a city, mastering a clan, and becoming overlords of a region. Only when the Nine City Ceremony once every hundred years will they gather together.

The nine people in the hall almost represent a vast ruling area. For example, Yi Zu represents the entire grassland, while Ji Cheng represents the southernmost mountains and forests of the southern region, etc. Although this area is really inconspicuous compared to the entire southern region, it is still a very vast place.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the nine people in the hall are unattainable great beings!

"Okay, everything you should come here is here, the Nine City Festival can begin! Feng'er, go out and guard, no one is allowed to enter the hall."

Jiang Feng nodded. Every time the Nine City Ceremony was held, there were only nine people in the hall, and no one knew what was going on inside.

After seeing Jiang Feng leave, Bai Hong, a white-clothed swordsman, looked at Ji Cheng for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Yi Zu, is this your newly accepted disciple? The Nine City Festival does not allow any unrelated personnel to participate. Even your disciple should withdraw."

"Yes, I should step down."

"By the way, where is Bei Zhen? They all send people to participate every time. Could it be that they are afraid of being embarrassed again this time, so they simply don't come?"

"Haha, Bei Zhen is at the bottom every time. If he doesn't come, he will be at the bottom. It will have no effect on whether he comes or not."

These seal masters seem to be very familiar with Bei Zhen, but their tone is very "sentient". It seems that Bei Zhen is probably ranked at the bottom of the Nine City Ceremony every time. He has never gained any benefits, so these seal masters are so "sentient".

Yi Zu was about to speak, but Ji Cheng shook his head slightly and went directly to the last seat, which was the original position of Bei Zhen, so he sat down directly.

"Everyone, Bei Zhen can't come anymore, Beicheng will be changed to Jicheng from then on!"

"What? Bei Zhen can't come?"

At this moment, everyone looked at each other and naturally understood the meaning of this sentence. They were like Bai Hong before, thinking that Ji Cheng was so young and was a disciple of Yi Zu.

Unexpectedly, it was not the case at all. Instead, it vaguely represents Beicheng, the lord of a city, and their status is the same as theirs.

"Haha, you don't know yet, right? Then I'll introduce it first."

Yi Zu laughed and introduced to the others: "Brother Ji Cheng, I am not lucky to accept such a talented disciple. Brother Ji Cheng was born in a small village around Beicheng, but he rose in a short time. By chance, he became a master of the Seal and killed the three masters of Beicheng with one person. Therefore, Bei Zhen and others have become Ji Cheng's souls under the sword. Now Beicheng has also become Jicheng and a member of our Nine City Alliance!"

After hearing Yi Zu's introduction, these palm print masters who had a smile on their faces looked a little shocked when they looked at Ji Cheng who was a little immature.

Bei Zhen is indeed not as good as them, but Beicheng has three masters and ancestors. Unexpectedly, the three of them joined forces and were killed by this young man who seemed a little immature. Such talent is indeed terrifying.

No matter how strong Ji Cheng is, there is one thing that is definitely stronger than Bei Zhen. I am afraid that with the help of this Nine City Ceremony, the pattern of the Nine City Alliance will change in the future.

"Haha, congratulations to Ji Cheng!"

Others also congratulated each other. In fact, there are few who were killed by the Nine City Alliance. No matter how bad Bei Zhen was, he was the Seal Master who had survived several tribulations, but now he was killed by Ji Cheng. These Seal Masters even felt a sense of sympathy.

"Okay, now the nine cities are gathered together, so the nine cities ceremony will begin and close the door!"

As Yi Zu finished speaking, the thick door began to slowly close.

The hall was black. But soon, some candles were lit, and some gems were emitting a soft light, which reflected the hall like daylight.

"Everyone, this Nine City Ceremony is still the same rule. Let me introduce to you the newly discovered Yuanqi stone ore veins. In the past century, the newly discovered Yuanqi stone ore veins in various places belong to the territory, so I won't mention them much. Outside the territory, there are 28 Yuanqi stone ore veins found in the Borderlands. They are all small Yuanqi stone ore veins. This is a map, and I have marked them. There have not been any mining yet. I just wait for the Nine City Ceremony to decide the ownership of these Yuanqi stone ore veins and start mining."

After saying that, Yi Zu took out a map, which marked the twenty-eight newly discovered Yuanqi stone mineral veins in a century.

Ji Cheng also looked carefully and saw that the map was very large. It was also very far away from Jicheng, but in such a vast place, only twenty-eight Yuanqi stone ore veins were discovered in a century. The area ruled by the Nine City Alliance was indeed very barren.

"The twenty-eight mineral veins are still the same rule. The first one ranks, 30% of them. The second place ranks, 20% of them, and the third place to sixth place, 10% of them, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10% of them."

This is the division of the Yuanqi stone ore veins. It turns out that it is divided according to the strength of the seal masters in each city. This is the essence of the Nine City Festival.

"The last three places account for 10%, how do you divide them?"

Ji Cheng suddenly asked.

"It's very simple. If you don't want to divide it, then the last three can challenge each other. Once you fail, all the Yuanqi stone ore veins occupied in your hands will be left to the other party."

Ji Cheng nodded, meaning that if the seventh place can beat the eighth and ninth place, then the two people who challenged each plundered all the shares of the Yuanqi stone ore veins on their bodies, and the seventh place will account for 10%. If the eighth and ninth place, there will be no one Yuanqi stone.

"It seems that the ancestor Bei Zhen participated in the Nine City Ceremony and was probably challenged every time. He was eventually defeated and did not get a single energy stone..."

Ji Cheng also seemed to think of the affliction of the ancestor Bei Zhen. It was before the Red Light Shuttle. Perhaps Bei Zhen wanted to rely on the Red Light Shuttle to participate in the Nine City Ceremony to avenge his previous shame, but now he has no chance.

"Okay, everyone should know the rules, so now, the Nine City Festival has officially begun!"

As Yi Zu finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire hall seemed to solidify.

The seats in the hall are all placed according to the ranking of the last ceremony. If no one challenges them in the end, the allocation will be allocated according to the ranking of the last one.

Ji Cheng looked at it and he was sitting in ninth place. Last time Bei Zhen participated in the Nine City Ceremony, he was indeed at the bottom of the ranking.

The number one is naturally Yi Zu. He sat high in the first place and became the first. In addition to occupying a lot of shares, there is another advantage, that is, he automatically becomes the leader of the Nine City Alliance, and to a certain extent, he can even command other eight cities.

The second place was not surprising. Bai Hong, the white-clothed swordsman. He closed his eyes slightly, as if everything in the hall had nothing to do with him, but anyone could feel the sharp sword intent emitted by him.

The third one is the ancestor who has white hair and rosy long-browed eyebrows.

As for the fourth to eighth, Ji Cheng didn't know each other, but they were definitely stronger than Bei Zhen at the time. Otherwise, Bei Zhen would not have been ranked at the bottom all the time.

The atmosphere in the hall was very solemn, and no one had ever asked for challenges. In fact, only the first and second places had a share that exceeded the others, and after the seventh place, it was much lower than the sixth place or above. There was no need to challenge other rankings.

After a long time, the old ancestor still brows finally spoke: "I'll do it first, Bai Hong, I lost to you last time. This time, I want to learn more about your swordsmanship!"

The ancestor Changmei stood up and actually wanted to challenge Bai Hong. But thinking about it, the ancestor Changmei ranked third, so he could only challenge Bai Hong, who was second, so he had hope of getting more shares.

"You are not my opponent!"

Bai Hong opened his eyes suddenly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"Hehe, Bai Hong, the last time you just narrowly won. Over the past century, you have not only made progress. Come on, look at your swordsmanship, what kind of situation has you reached?"

After saying that, the old ancestor Changmei walked directly into the open space surrounded by formation patterns, staring at Bai Hong with a high sense of fighting spirit.
