Lin Yan didn't wait for Mei Jiangxue to appear again all day long.

He understood that Tian Xuan was definitely not willing to bow to him.

He had also guessed this result. Tianxuan was so disgusted with him, so of course he would not extend an olive branch to him and show friendship to him under the current circumstances.

However, what he was very curious about was that if Tianxuan didn't use himself to deal with Lin Zhilan, what other means could he use to contain Lin Zhilan's challenge to his young disciples?

But what they didn't expect was that the next morning, when Lin Yan and Ye Xi'er were walking on the street, they suddenly heard something.

Lin Zhilan was actually defeated by Dugu Sword Demon at dusk yesterday!

What followed naturally was a series of reactions from Lin Zhilan who failed.

Although no one knows where Lin Zhilan is now, Lin Yan, relying on his understanding of his cousin, understands that after the extremely proud Lin Zhilan was defeated by the young warriors of Xiaoshui City, his confidence must have been greatly reduced, and he must not be able to go up again.

Qingwumen went to challenge.

Lin Yan didn't expect that the final result would be like this.

The Dugu Sword Demon suddenly appeared and defeated Lin Zhilan!

Lin Yan first wondered whether Tianxuan, relying on his good contact with the Dugu family, managed to persuade the Dugu Sword Demon to defeat Lin Zhilan in advance, thereby avoiding the Qingwu Sect's loss of face. But then, Lin Yan denied this

kind of doubt.

Because of Dugu Sword Demon's cold personality, he is disdainful and unwilling to be taken advantage of by anyone.

Therefore, this matter can only be attributed to luck. Lin Zhilan happened to meet the Dugu Sword Demon. Of course, this is equivalent to Tianxuan getting a piece of good luck.

Thinking of Tian Xuan's long sigh when he learned the news, Lin Yan felt a little unhappy. He originally expected Tian Xuan to be embarrassed, but he didn't expect that things changed midway, which made his thoughts come to nothing.

However, the incident itself still brought him unexpected glory.

Because what Dugu Sword Demon said after defeating Lin Zhilan has already spread throughout Xiaoshui City.

Dugu Sword Demon said this: "I defeated you, but you have to know that I am only the second among the young masters in Xiaoshui City. Only when you meet Lin Yan will you know the true terror of our young warriors in Xiaoshui City.

!”

It is hard to believe that this sentence would come from the mouth of Dugu Sword Demon, because Dugu Sword Demon never takes the initiative to show weakness, but this time he proactively admitted that he was weaker than Lin Yan. However, with these words,

The news of Lin Zhilan's defeat spread more and more, and no one paid attention to it anymore. Everyone was caught up in the discussion about Lin Yan.

At least, when Lin Yan and Ye Xi'er walked on the street, they heard people passing by talking about them.

"Ah, I really didn't expect that even the Lonely Sword Demon would take the initiative to admit that he is inferior to others."

"Of course, do you think Dugu Sword Demon's pride is hypocritical? Before Lin Yan, the number one young warrior in Xiaoshui City was certainly his, but now he must have a clear understanding of Lin Yan's strength.

That's why I say this. If you ask me, Dugu Sword Demon is also good. At least he won't disgust others and try to elevate himself. However, what shocks me the most is Lin Yan. It seems that Lin Yan is the number one young master.

The title is not just blown out, there is no water in it."

"Of course there is no moisture anymore. You know, the second-ranked Dugu Sword Demon has said this. How can it be false?"

"Tsk, tsk, Lin Yan is really amazing. He is like a star. His rise is so fast. How long has it been before he has occupied the throne of the number one master of young warriors in Xiaoshui City? What other sects did he have in the past?

Geniuses and elites were all trampled under his feet."

"Hey, brother, why do I see you carrying paper and pen with you?"

"Yes, my biggest hope now is to meet Lin Yan. Haha, Xiaoshui City's number one young master. What a high honor. Of course I hope to see such a genius among geniuses with my own eyes!

It would be better if I could say a few words to Lin Yan, so I brought a pen and ink just to record every word he said."

"This brother has a good idea. Well, I will do the same. Now Lin Yan is undoubtedly the most popular person in Xiaoshui City. If I can meet him or even have a few words with him, I can treat him as a lifelong friend."

I’m proud to talk about it.”

No matter Lin Yan walked through the streets or alleys, wherever there were people chatting, he could hear similar discussions.

"Haha Lin Yan, you are so powerful now." Ye Xi'er joked.

"It's okay, okay," Lin Yan said with a smile.

Lin Yan will not be arrogant about this, because he understands that his sudden rise will be like the geniuses before. He can become the focus of discussion among the residents of the city in a short period of time, but it will not last a lifetime. As long as there are new ones,

If an eye-catching incident breaks out again, the things people are talking about will immediately change. I believe that it won't be long before the heated discussion about myself will calm down.

"However, Tian Xuan must be feeling very unhappy after hearing the news, right?" Lin Yan said in his heart.

In Tianxuan's room at Qingwu Gate.

Tianxuan was glad that things suddenly changed at dusk yesterday. When the news of Lin Zhilan and Dugu Sword Demon competing in the open space in the east of the city came to him, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then things developed in the direction he expected. In the end, Dugu

Sword Demon defeated Lin Zhilan with his rapidly improving strength.

At that time, he knew that he did not need to teach Mei Jiangxue at night. After all, even if Lin Zhilan challenged his Qingwu Sect again, he would have enough reasons to refuse.

But!

At the same time, he heard the residents of the whole city discussing Lin Yan enthusiastically, worshiping Lin Yan as if he were an idol!

Although it is impossible for a human being to know that he and Lin Yan have an incompatible relationship, he still feels very uncomfortable. Of course, he is not jealous of Lin Yan, but just feels that Lin Yan, who is disgusted by him, cannot rise so quickly!

However, he is not that vicious person and cannot suppress Lin Yan. Therefore, it is almost certain that Lin Yan will continue to grow rapidly after his rise!

It can be expected that in a few years, Lin Yan will establish his transcendent status in the entire Xiaoshui City with a terrifying strength that exceeds that of many sect leaders at the age of under twenty-five!

"Is it really wrong for me to do this?"

"Having a falling out with a peerless genius will not be of any benefit to me or our Qingwu Sect. If he becomes stronger in the future and turns against me, then maybe the Qingwu Sect's face will be damaged by him again.

Sweep it down in one fell swoop.”

"Perhaps, when I first knew that it was impossible to let him belong to my sect, I should have changed a strategy to maintain a good relationship with him, so that it wouldn't end up like this. Maybe, I did make a mistake in this matter.

Already."

But Tian Xuan, who was muttering to himself, quickly shook his head: "No, even if I did something wrong, I would never bow to him. If I want to bow to a young man whose age and status are much lower than myself, that would be absolutely impossible."

impossible!"

"Let him grow up on his own. I don't care about his strength, but if he continues to pester Jiangxue girl and continue to bring down the face of our Qingwu Sect, I will still suppress him!"

Tianxuan immediately suppressed the regret he felt.

As before, he still held a disgusting attitude towards Lin Yan, and the stiff relationship had not changed at all.

On this side, Lin Yan has decided to set off to find the war sword.

His father needed peace and quiet, and Ye Xi'er couldn't take risks with him, so Lin Yan rented a quiet and comfortable house in Qingyang Town for Ye Xi'er.

Early the next morning, Lin Yan said goodbye to his father and Ye Xi'er, and embarked on the road to Zhongzhou City.

Three of the five battle swords have not yet been found, one of which should be in Zhongzhou City, and Zhongzhou is the nearest big city to Xiaoshui City. Naturally, Lin Yan chose this place as his first stop.

Moreover, since he had to pay attention to the movements near Dragon Island, he could not run too far.

Flying in the air, there was very little rest in the middle, but it took a whole week for Lin Yan to follow the map and arrive at Zhongzhou City.

Zhongzhou City is located in the center of the martial arts world. It is a large inland city and the largest city among the top 100 cities in the martial arts world.

Different from other cities, other cities are either controlled by aristocratic families, like Tiandi City, or controlled by major sects, like Xiaoshui City, or led by city lords. This is not the case in Zhongzhou City, because it is the only city in the entire martial arts world with an imperial palace.

city.

Imperial City is the most accurate name for Zhongzhou City.

The imperial power system in the Zhongzhou City Imperial Palace is not only suitable for this city, but also for the entire martial arts world!

Although each city seems to be scattered and independent, there are no troops stationed, and there are no frontier officials, but in name, everyone in the martial arts world is a subject of Zhongzhou Imperial City!

According to legend, the initial social form of the martial arts world was in the form of vassal states. Later, after the Zhongzhou State where Zhongzhou City was located became stronger, it began to annex the surrounding vassal states one by one. After years of conquests, it was finally able to unify the entire martial arts world!

At that time, the martial world was a country, the Zhongzhou Dynasty was established, and the imperial power affected everyone.

Although the situation gradually changed later and became the current form, no matter which big city, they all acquiesced in the imperial power of Zhongzhou City.

Of course, the imperial power is no longer omnipotent. Zhongzhou City cannot affect other big cities, so now the other cities still maintain their own forms. It can be said that they have nothing to do with Zhongzhou Imperial City. Only in Zhongzhou City, the imperial power is the absolute master.

.

The Tang regime in Zhongzhou has existed since the unification of the martial arts world and continues to this day.

In the imperial city, also known as Zhongzhou City, only the imperial guards surrounded the imperial palace. Other regular troops were mainly used to guard the surroundings of the imperial city. After all, military wars would not break out in the military world, but there were still civil servants and military ministers responsible for maintaining the imperial city.

the normal functioning of the city.

But it seems that apart from being imprinted with the special system of imperial power, Zhongzhou City is not much different from other big cities. Of course, there is definitely only one master here, and that is the emperor sitting on the dragon throne in the palace!

Lin Yan entered the imperial city from Shanyong Pass in the north. The sergeant responsible for guarding the city gate also specifically told Lin Yan not to cause trouble in the imperial city. Otherwise, he would be expelled, put on death row, or even beheaded.

, even for warriors!

Lin Yan didn't think this sentence had much sensational meaning, because this is a completely independent country. Even if a warrior is identified as an enemy by the palace, the palace can even contact powerful warriors from other cities to act together to kill these warriors.

A famous warrior!

Lin Yan walked into the imperial city.

As the largest city in the entire martial arts world, Lin Yan's current location is only within Shanyongguan, and it is still a border defense area. Until Lin Yan passed through the border defense area, rural areas, suburbs, small and medium-sized market towns and officially entered the city

After entering the area, three days have passed.

Lin Yan finally arrived at the core area, the real imperial city.
Chapter completed!
