NOVEL NEXT Chapter 16 Zongmen Ranking Contest
Ever since Qin Ye discovered that the system released tasks that could help him break through his cultivation, he has completely lay flat, and every day he either wanders here or goes to the back mountain to hunt game.
As for cultivation, why should I practice? I have a system, so what else should I practice.
I'm going to lie flat.
How can something so tiring in cultivation be suitable for me.
I, Qin Ye, was born to be the protagonist, with the system close by, breakthroughs are as easy as eating and drinking.
Penance is even more impossible.
He was completely flat.
Work hard, hard work pays off.
It's like those poor boys who suddenly won the lottery and became millionaires, completely flattened, and still work for nothing.
It's okay, eat, drink, pick up girls, isn't it good?
On the contrary, apart from eating, Wan Chen and Wu Xuan'er went back to their room to practice.
Qin Ye gave the gifts from other forces, most of which were some pills, spirit stones, exercises, etc., to the two of them for use.
Seeing Qin Ye lying flat like this, Wu Hai shook his head every time, not knowing how this bastard broke through to innate.
Because Qin Ye let the system cover up his cultivation, Wu Hai didn't realize that Qin Ye had already broken through to a grand master.
...
City Lord's Mansion.
The owner of Qingfeng City looked at the letter in his hand, and his face suddenly darkened.
"City Lord, did something important happen?" The butler of the City Lord's Mansion asked upon seeing this.
He is an old man in the city lord's mansion. He has been with the city lord for more than 20 years, and he has never seen the city lord look so ugly. This must have happened.
"The Marquis of Yangling issued an order to coordinate with each sect to hold a sect ranking competition in seven days." Qingfeng City Master took a deep breath and said.
"The Zongmen Ranking Competition is held every ten years. It stands to reason that there are still two years until it arrives. How could Lord Hou let it be brought forward?" the butler asked puzzled.
The Zongmen Ranking Contest was organized by the Great Qin Dynasty in coordination with the major forces. Its purpose is also obvious. One is to investigate the development of the strength of the various sects in the past ten years; the other is to promote the development of the various sects and enhance the strength of the dynasty.
Although most of the sects did not listen to the orders of the Great Qin Dynasty when they became powerful, there were still many sect disciples who would enter the dynasty and this phenomenon was very common.
The Zongmen Ranking Contest is held once every ten years, and now the time has not yet come, and it is held in advance, which makes people feel
Feel strange.
Qingfeng City belongs to the fiefdom of the Marquis of Yangling, so the orders of the Marquis of Yangling cannot be disobeyed.
"There is no specific explanation in the text, but this matter probably involves those princes in the capital." Qingfeng City Master said slowly.
"Princes of the capital..." The steward frowned upon hearing this, "Could it be for the throne..."
When it comes to the word throne, the steward dare not say any more, because the next words are taboo. When it comes to the throne, it's not something that a little butler like him can discuss.
"It has been heard for a long time that the Marquis of Yangling has a close relationship with the Eldest Prince. Recently, the news from the capital is that the Elder King is getting worse and worse. It seems that Wang Quan's struggle has already begun, and the Marquis of Yangling has already joined the team." Qingfeng City Lord said.
"City Master, what should we do then?" the steward asked.
The Master of Qingfeng City pondered for a moment, and the Marquis of Yangling had already stood in line, which was not necessarily a good thing for the Master of Qingfeng City. Dynasties and thrones have changed, standing on the wrong team, and few of them will end well.
The better ones were exiled or imprisoned, and the worse ones were basically wiped out.
"The Marquis of Yangling probably wants to find out the strength of each sect. If he wants to win over the sect himself, we can just follow suit. As for the struggle for the throne, we don't directly participate. No matter who wins, officials will always be required from below." Qingfeng City Master Shen Sheng said.
"Yes, City Lord. This subordinate will immediately contact the major sects, and let all the shops and grain stores in the city take action to prepare for the sect competition." The steward replied.
"Well, you should make arrangements first," City Lord Qingfeng said.
The Master of Qingfeng City looked at the letter in his hand, shook his head, and muttered to himself: "It seems that the struggle is getting more and more fierce. Even the eldest prince has to rely on the influence of the sect. I am afraid that the other princes also have the support of the sect behind them." .”
Every generation of struggle for the throne will have the shadow of the sect behind it. This was true for the previous generation, and it will be the same for this generation. Although the sect is not bound by the dynasty, once the supported prince ascends the throne, the benefits are obvious.
Even if the supported prince fails, it’s okay, and one or two people will be pushed out to take the blame, and the new king will generally not offend the sect.
Even a small place like Qingfeng City was not spared. It can be seen that the struggle for the throne has intensified.
Reporting to Qingfengzong caught Yanglinghou's attention.
The owner of Qingfeng City shook his head, and then continued to work.
...
After the housekeeper arranged things, he personally brought some guards from the City Lord's Mansion to Qingfengzong.
Qingfengzong is extraordinary now, he naturally wants to win Qin Ye over, no matter how bad he is, he must establish a good relationship. Furthermore, this is also something ordered by the city lord, so he will naturally do it well.
The housekeeper and his party soon arrived at the gate of Qingfengzong.
Looking at the dilapidated Qingfengzong, the housekeeper and his party were speechless. He had long heard that the Qingfengzong was in dilapidated condition, and now it seemed true, so he decided to suggest that the city lord send some people to repair the Qingfengzong when he went back, so as to win him over.
"Why is no one welcoming you?" A guard muttered dissatisfiedly.
No matter how you say it, the city lord is a local official. He manages Qingfeng City, and the Qingfeng Sect is so rude that there is not even a single person to greet him.
"Shut up!" The housekeeper stared at him fiercely, he dared to be dissatisfied in Qingfengzong's territory, even if he was dissatisfied, he couldn't show it, otherwise he wouldn't even know how to die.
"Sect Master Qin, the city lord sent a villain to pay a special visit to Sect Master Qin." The housekeeper said loudly at the door.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" In an instant, Qin Ye's figure appeared in front of the housekeeper.
The steward and all the guards were stunned. Qin Ye appeared too suddenly, no, it was too fast. They didn't notice how Qin Ye appeared, as if he appeared suddenly out of thin air.
Qin Sect Master's strength is probably stronger.
The housekeeper swallowed, and looked at Qin Ye in awe, the innate powerhouse was terrifying.
The butler said respectfully: "The city lord specially asked the little one to give some gifts to Sect Master Qin, as well as some supplies needed for cultivation."
Naturally, he did not come empty-handed, but brought some spiritual stones, elixir, weapons and so on.
Taking out these things is also a traumatic experience for the City Lord's Mansion. However, in order to win over Qin Ye, it was worth it.
Qin Ye glanced at it, there were not many spirit stones, and they were all low-grade spirit stones, and the pills were also of low quality, to Qin Ye, they were all rubbish.
Although Qin Ye didn't like these things, he didn't want to slap people in the face when they delivered them in person, so he nodded: "Thank the city lord for me."
