Just when there was a melee in Fengyu Building, the waiting area outside the Qingzhou Zhulu stadium, including the event organizer, the viewing party and the team leaders of major counties and countries, were all looking at each other and not sure.

In the three days when the battle in Qingzhou was about to end, the first-class, second-class counties and a few warriors from third-class counties were teleported out like a market.

Instead, the fourth-class and fifth-class counties and states did not establish strongholds in Yunxiao City and did not participate in the final decisive battle. More warriors remained in the Qingzhou Zhulu stadium.

This is a situation that has never happened in previous competitions in Qingzhou.

On the light curtain wall, everyone didn't even have time to check the contestants' points because the changes were too big.

The Jindan warrior led by Yunwu County, with a heavy face and a difficult mood. Although Yunwu County's points ranking is still very high, even enough to be among the first-class counties and states, there are only less than ten people left and still stay in the field, and the points are mainly concentrated on the five people selected by the Ninth Princess Zhou Ruozhu. If any of them fails, Yunwu County's points may fall to the bottom at any time.

If the points are too high, once promoted to a first-class county, Yunwu County will undoubtedly become the target of public criticism and will be difficult to protect yourself; but if Zhou Ruozhu and others have an unexpected mistake, Yunwu County will continue to become a fourth-class county or even fall into a fifth-class county, which is also very unfavorable for Yunwu County.

The Jindan powerhouse led by Yunwu County and the country was in a dilemma.

The strong men leading the Canglan County State's faces were so dark that water was about to drip out of water. The strongest man in their county, Kitano Lightning, had just disappeared. It can be seen that he encountered an unexpected accident and the huge points disappeared. It is certain that Canglan County State not only could not attack the first-class county this time, but it could not even be preserved. Even in the third-class county, it is still the lowest.

Liefeng County and Canglong County were both determined to win the first county and state warriors, and they were also worried at this time. This situation was something they had never encountered before, especially Liefeng County, where almost only a few Jindan realm warriors were left.

Just when everyone was solemn, an old man responsible for organizing the operation of this Qingzhou Competition and smiled bitterly: These guys can really make trouble. If you continue to do this, it is estimated that this Qingzhou Competition will be difficult. By then, the first-class and second-class counties will undergo earth-shaking changes, and Qingzhou may face a turmoil. Forget it, let’s stop here!

Then, the old man pressed a mechanism.

...

In Fengyu Building, just as everyone was fighting fiercely, they suddenly found that the two sides were forcibly separated by an inexplicable force. A sacred and unquestionable voice sounded in Yunxiao City, "The battle in Qingzhou has ended, all parties are quit, and they are adjusted on the spot. In an hour, you will be all teleported out."

With this voice, everyone's eyes were red in their hearts, and their mentality, like a thug, suddenly calmed down.

Obviously, the old man secretly ended the Qingzhou competition one hour ahead of schedule.

The Guangming Front gathered together to check the points situation. Judging from the previous Qingzhou Zhulu, first-class counties and states need at least one million points; second-class counties and states need at least eight hundred thousand points; third-class counties and states need at least six hundred thousand points...

Liefeng County and Zihao County have more than one million points, Qianhan County and Guyan County and Guyan County have more than nine hundred thousand points, and some second-class counties are slightly different from 800,000. As for Yunwu County, the total points exceed 1.2 million.

Xuan Yuanhao knew that with the strength of Yunwu County, if he rashly became a first-class county, he would definitely become the target of public criticism. Wood is beautiful in the forest and forest is beautiful in the mountains, and Yunwu County is unfavorable. Therefore, Xuan Yuanhao gave all 200,000 points to Feng Rusong, which has consolidated the position of Liefeng County and the position of first-class county and country, and gave more than 100,000 points to Qianhan, Gu Yan and other counties to ensure that they retain the position of first-class county and second-class county.

In the end, the points of Yunwu County and State remained at around 780,000, and they could steadily enter the forefront of the third-class counties and states.

Xuan Yuanhao's generousness also received responses and promises from other counties and states. Feng Rusong once again stated that after returning, he would persuade the elders of the family to form an alliance with Yunwu County and provide protection for Yunwu County and state; and first-class counties and states such as Zihao, Qianhan, Gu Yan also benefited from Xuan Yuanhao and expressed that he would do his best. Even if the cooperation between counties and states cannot be promoted, their family will provide shelter when Yunwu County and states are facing crisis.

This is exactly the result that Xuan Yuanhao wanted. The so-called gift of roses has lingering fragrance in his hand. Yunwu County is still too weak. If he can get the protection of some powerful first-class counties, it will definitely be of great benefit to the growing Yunwu County.

Zhou Ruozhu discussed with Xuan Yuanhao again that she had no intention of competing for the position of the Holy Lord, and wanted to give her points to Xiao Tian, ​​whom she selected from her second brother, to ensure that her second brother became the highest points among the nine princes and princes. Xuan Yuanhao was absolutely fine.

Bao Daqian responded quickly and gave most of his points to Xiao Tian. No points are as important as catering to the beauty. Moreover, in his opinion, Zhou Ruozhu's happiness is far more important than the high-ranking imperial power.

Xuan Yuanhao, Qin Yayan, and Wu Yan also gave some points to Xiao Tian. In this way, Xiao Tian's points alone exceeded the total points of Xuan Yuanhao and the five others, which was enough to ensure that the second prince took the lead.

Xiao Tian naturally would not refuse. He looked at Xuan Yuanhao and the other five people gratefully, and truly felt that his master had a good sister and Zhou Ruozhu had four good friends. He even envied the other four people for being Xuan Yuanhao's friends. He also knew that he could fight side by side with Xuan Yuanhao, but it was impossible to enter Xuan Yuanhao's core circle of friends.

One hour later, everyone was forced to teleport out, and the Qingzhou Zhulu competition, which was once every ten years, finally came to an end.

However, no one expected that it would end in such an incredible way.

Of course, what everyone doesn't know is that the culprit that caused such a "catastrophe" was actually Xuan Yuanhao, who was only at the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm when he entered, but was already at the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm when he came out.

The rankings of major counties and countries were finally announced, and some were happy and some were sad.

The Liefeng County and the State of Liefeng County left other counties far behind with a total score of 1.4 million, ranking first.

Surprisingly, Canglong County was only ranked third, and was ranked second by Zihao County.

Qianhan County and Guyan County ranked fourth and fifth respectively, Youxia County and Heixun County were ranked sixth, Heixun County and eighth County and one second-class county on the Guangming Front ranked ninth, and was promoted to a first-class county.

Baiyan County, which was originally ranked among the first-class counties and states, ranked only thirteenth and became a second-class counties.

The most surprising thing about Canglan County is that everyone thinks that Canglan County may have the possibility of attacking the first-class county, but before he arrived first, he was defeated and ranked more than 40, becoming the last of the third-class county.

Yunwu County, which had originally dispersed its points and only wanted to be promoted to a third-class county, actually ranked 27th and would become a second-class county, which surprised Xuan Yuanhao. Although there was a slight difference from his prediction, Xuan Yuanhao didn't care too much. Since he came, he would be at peace. Second-class county states would be second-class county states, and he should have achieved the expected goal ten years ahead of schedule.

Judging from the overall ranking, the county states that stand on the Liefeng County and the state, Qingzhou Zhulu’s ranking is generally better than the county states that stand on the Canglong County and the state.

Of course, the latest division of counties and state levels ultimately requires the Tianlan Kingdom to issue an imperial edict to confirm it.

Whether happy or sad, the major participating counties and countries went to Fuyao City, the headquarters of Tianlan Kingdom, and invited the imperial edict of Tianlan Kingdom and exchanged the points for magic weapons.

Bao Daqiu took a fancy to a metal magic weapon with a high grade, but unfortunately most of his points were given to Xiao Tian, ​​which was far from enough to exchange. Zhou Ruozhu contributed his remaining points to Bao Daqiu, two young hearts, so this time, Qingzhou competition finally came together.

In this way, the Qingzhou tour has gained a lot. Wu Yan's fire control technique has advanced to the third realm and subdued a wisp of Taiyin true fire; Zhou Ruozhu has previously received the body-protecting armor, Phoenix Feather Phantom Armor given by his second brother; Qin Yayan obtained the Qingxu Heart Protection Mirror, and was promoted to the Golden Pill Realm after practicing Yin and Yang with Xuan Yuanhao; Xuan Yuanhao's biggest harvest was. In addition to the holy magic weapon Eight Directions Wind and Rain Cauldron, he also refined the seven-illusion Five Elements Fruit, and his martial arts realm has been upgraded to three levels in a row. In the half-year Qingzhou competition time, he completed the path of martial arts advancement that can only be completed by others in three or four years, and will not affect the future development of martial arts due to unstable foundation.

...

Just as Xuan Yuanhao and others fought bravely in the Qingzhou Jolu Arena to earn points for Yunwu County, Yunwu County and State were in a turmoil and a sudden change occurred.

First, the Holy Lord Zhou Zhengyu was unwell and could not attend the court. The eldest prince Zhou Shenghan was the acting agent for the affairs of the dynasty. If anyone wanted to meet the Holy Lord, the army was sternly rejected by Zhou Shenghan on the grounds that "the father was not suitable for attending the meeting with him."

Immediately afterwards, Bao Runzhe, the chief minister who had many disagreements with the eldest prince in the court, and his affection for growing up with the sage master, so he asked to make a seal, resigned from his position as the chief minister, and entered the palace to accompany the sage master as a friend. The official who temporarily took over the position of the chief minister was an official with a surname Duanmu. This person was from the family of the eldest prince's mother and a hard-core confidant of the eldest prince.

Subsequently, a group of bandits appeared in Mingzhou Prefecture, the imperial capital of Yunwu County, and many princes and ministers were looted. The second prince Zhou Shengjin was unfortunately shot by the bandits and died on the spot. Many military and political ministers were also harassed by the bandits, either killed or resigned on the grounds of their health. Anyone with discerning eyes knew that these people were loyal to the power of the Holy Lord Zhou Zhengyu or the second prince. At this point, the military and political power of the Yunwu County was basically controlled by the eldest prince.

Perhaps it was because he saw the second brother die tragically, or because he had another intention. Whether it was sincerity or assumption, the third prince, who had always been incompatible with the eldest prince, suddenly became a loyal supporter of the eldest prince. The patrol camp controlled by the third prince was originally intended to control the eldest prince, and Yunlinwei, who had been the first to control the eldest prince, also became the loyal power of the eldest prince overnight. The other five princes, one had no power in their hands, and the other was naturally submissive after seeing the fate of the second prince and the third prince's betrayal, but the eldest prince followed the leader.

Yunwu County and the country seem to be calm, but in fact they are undercurrents.

The source of all these changes lies in a secret letter received by Zhou Shenghan, which informed that the warrior Duanmu Chun and five others had died in the Zhulu Arena of Qingzhou. The warrior selected by the Ninth Princess was the only one who stood out, and the warrior selected by the second prince Zhou Shengjin was closely followed.

Zhou Shenghan understood very well that his father was determined to determine the heir to the throne based on the results of the Qingzhou Zhulu Competition. Now that the warriors he selected were wiped out, he naturally lost the qualification to be legitimately heir to the throne.

Therefore, with the support of his mother Duanmu family, Zhou Shenghan relied on his ability to control the imperial capital with the convenience of Yunlin Guards, and with the power of thunder, he launched a force to force the palace to put the Holy Lord Zhou Zhengyu in the inner palace. Without his consent, no one was allowed to meet. However, he himself used the emperor as a minister to act as the eldest son to act as the chief of the state, and strongly suppressed ministers with different political views, and even sent out dark forces to kill them.

Zhou Shenghan was not ruthless about his second brother who was most likely to threaten his successor to the position of Saint Lord in the future and sent a master from Yulin Guard to directly kill him, which also shocked and conquered the third prince Zhou Shengxiang and several other younger brothers.

...

In the palace, although Zhou Zhengyu was under house arrest and lost his freedom in his actions, Zhou Shenghan did not dare to kill or abuse Zhou Zhengyu. After all, if Zhou Shenghan wants to inherit the throne, he still needs to make the illusion of a father's kindness and filial son on the surface. More importantly, until now, he has not obtained the imperial seal.

Zhou Zhengyu was talking to his former childhood friend and former chief minister. The changes in the outside world were all reflected in the black and white competition on the chessboard, which did not seem to affect the old man who had a fall in the martial arts realm due to the cold white Gu, and his lifespan was like that of an ordinary person.

"Saint Lord, today's situation is a bit worse for Yunwu County. It would be fine if the Ninth Princess and the others could achieve good results. At least they would maintain their status as a fourth-class county. If they unfortunately fall to the fifth-class county, and with the great changes in the court now and the internal friction is serious, Yunwu County will really be in a slump."

Zhou Zhengyu did not say anything and continued to think about this next move.

"Sacred Lord, should I launch it in advance? Shi..."

Before Bao Runzhe finished speaking, Zhou Zhengyu interrupted him and said, "I am in a good mood today, you can play chess well."

Bao Runzhe smiled helplessly. He gave up the difference between the king and the minister, and they always appreciated each other and never got tired of seeing each other.

"If we don't talk about state affairs, let's talk about family affairs. This time Xiaojiu and Yu'er return, you old man wants to be a beautiful woman. I have recognized Xiaojiu as my Bao family's daughter-in-law." Bao Runzhe is now indifferent to official positions and is talking to Zhou Zhengyu as a friend for many years.

"When did I keep my word? Do you think I am you? Just say sister-in-law, we fell in love with each other, you kid lie to me and said that my sister-in-law was interested in you, which made me fulfill my brother's beauty and give up. Now, I think you are cheating. Next time I will definitely ask Jinghe who she liked first."

The Holy Lord continued to return to the topic, "But, after all, although Xiao Baozi is chubby, he is as chubby as you, and I feel at ease with Xiao Jiu following her. In the future, if you help me watch in the court, I can feel more at ease. After this competition in Qingzhou, if Xiao Jiu has no objection, please make sure of this matter." He completely ignored the secrets leaked in his words.

The two old men confirmed the marriage between Zhou Ruozhu and Bao Daqian in just a few words, as if the ups and downs outside had not affected them at all.

"Hey, why are you doing this step here? You were not here just now. You must have played it secretly while I was unprepared. If it doesn't work, I will do it again." While speaking, he took the initiative to pick up Bao Runzhe's step, and he had no authority as a holy lord of the country. He seemed to have returned to the scene where the two of them were playing in childhood.

There is a game of chess between heaven and earth, and everyone is just one of them. You think it is a trick, but it is often proven to be a bad chess afterwards; sometimes it seems to be retreating, but it is actually an attack; sometimes it is abandoning the child, and the ultimate goal is to kill the dragon.

...

When Xuan Yuanhao and his group led the imperial edict of Tianlan Kingdom to confer the second-class golden county to return to the imperial capital Mingzhou Prefecture, some followers had already reported the message in advance to send the joy.

However, when they came to the gate of Mingzhou Prefecture, there was no grand occasion where the imagined saint lord came in person, and all officials lined up and the people gathered.

The eldest prince Zhou Shenghan stood high above the city wall, looked at everyone with smiles, and said loudly: "My father has been unwell recently. He asked me to supervise the country. Today, you and others will return with praise. On behalf of the billions of people in Yunwu County, I welcome you to your triumph."

Zhou Shenghan expressed his joy and welcome from the bottom of his heart. Wuyunwu County and State emerged in this Qingzhou competition and eventually ranked second-class golden gold county; and Zhou Shenghan will become the holy lord of a high-ranking second-class golden county. This glory is unprecedented in the history of Yunwu County and State, and it shocks the past and present.

However, Zhou Shenghan did not organize a large-scale welcome ceremony, but adopted a cold treatment method. After all, the second brother Zhou Shengjin and the ninth sister Zhou Ruozhu created this honor for Yunwu County. He had almost nothing to do. Zhou Shenghan deliberately welcomed each other indifferently, deliberately downplaying the contributions of the princes and daughters in the competition and competition, and selecting five warriors to participate in the competition and assessment of the nine princes and princes designated by his father Zhou Zhengyu. In fact, it was the assessment of the heirs of the throne.

After entering the palace, when Zhou Ruozhu proposed to pay homage to his father, Zhou Shenghan still tried every means to stop Zhou Ruozhu from facing the saint on the grounds that he was in poor health and needed to rest.

Xuan Yuanhao pulled Zhou Ruozhu without leaving any trace. Zhou Ruozhu understood it and did not force it, pretending to go back to his mansion first.

That night, the five heroes of Qingzhou, Xuan Yuanhao, Qin Yayan, Wu Yan, Zhou Ruozhu and Bao Daqian, quietly visited Hu Bugui, the president of the Yunwu County Alchemy Association, and his master Wei Dansheng.

From Hu Bugui's mouth, the five people learned that the Holy Lord had been "restoring" for more than half a month. The eldest prince was reigning the country, the second prince's life and death, the third prince's rebellion, Bao's confidence in forming seals and removing tassels into the palace to accompany the Holy Lord, and the great changes in the court told Zhou Ruozhu, Xuan Yuanhao and others one by one.
