Chapter 317: Eve of the Trial Meeting

Speaking of which, Xiao Zheng always felt a hint of strangeness about the main city of Fengdu.

It is said that the location of Fengdu Main City was very unusual. When the first generation of city lords selected the site, they did not choose flat and open plains, nor did they choose passes that were easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, they chose such an inconspicuous place, which made many people puzzled.

Therefore, some rumors about the main city of Fengdu have been circulating throughout hell, but no one can see what the difference is in Fengdu, and gradually people have forgotten it.

The senior and his friends were very concerned about these rumors. After some investigation, although they did not find out the secret of the main city, they found several strange places.

Those are the several places marked on the map before.

Finally, the senior left a message, hoping that future generations could inherit his wishes and continue to explore the secrets of the main city of Fengdu.

After reading it, although Xiao Zheng admired this senior, he did not want to inherit the other party's will.

However, he was very interested in that map. Although this map was from for many years, it was not much different from the current main city. Xiao Zheng even found several passages to the outside world.

Some of these passages are in the hands of the city lord, while others are very hidden and unknown.

If these channels are used well, it will be very beneficial to you!

Xiao Zheng couldn't help but think.

Then, he had a little doubt. This colorless crystal was obviously not an ordinary item, and where did Lin Yike get it?

At this time, in the Crystal Hall of Hanbing City, Lin Yike was standing respectfully in front of a woman in red, lowering her head and not speaking.

"You did a good job during this period and didn't lose my face."

The woman in red said, her voice was a little charming, but it was Tang Zhiqing, the head of the Crystal Palace.

However, this charm is of no use to Lin Yike, because she also has this ability.

"I believe you can handle the matters in the hall very well, so I won't test you anymore. However, how are you practicing the martial arts of this sect now?"

Although Tang Zhiqing claimed to outsiders that Lin Yi was her registered disciple, she actually taught her what she had learned very carefully.

"I have already broken through the first level and will soon reach the middle level of the second level."

Lin Yike's voice did not fluctuate, making people unable to hear the emotions in her heart.

"It's true that I'm the disciple I like. It's a waste to worship Old Man Zhong as my master. Fortunately, I met..." Tang Zhiqing sighed a few times, then changed her mind, "I did a good job in seclusion and practice. I broke through the first level in a few days. You are the fastest practicing technique I know. However, the next second level is extremely dangerous. Even if I was almost dead back then, you have to be mentally prepared. Now, answer me, are you still willing to continue?"

Lin Yike did not hesitate, and even his voice did not shake at all.

"Master, I will continue, not stay where I am, and I will not retreat."

Tang Zhiqing nodded with satisfaction, stretched out her hand casually, and a statue behind her suddenly lit up, moving toward her own, revealing a three-meter-high black passage.

"This is your second level test. If you can pass, you will directly enter the third level. By then, your strength will increase significantly. What is the Huangfu family and the Yang family... At that time, even compared with Han Xichao, you will not be inferior."

Tang Zhiqing seemed to have thought of something that displeased her, her expression turned sharp and her voice became cold.

"Okay, go in! I will open this channel again in a month and pick you up."

“Yes, Master.”

Lin Yike bowed and then walked towards the dark passage without hesitation.

She didn't know where this passage leads; she didn't know what crisis there would be after this passage.

But this did not shake Lin Yike's heart at all. She had an extremely firm belief in her heart. For that belief, she was willing to give everything.

When Lin Yike's figure disappeared into the black channel, the statue moved back to its original position.

Tang Zhiqing looked at the statue thoughtfully. It was a young woman with a very graceful body. Although her appearance was not as beautiful, it could make people feel a sense of quietness.

"It makes sense that the ancestral court treats people on earth so favorably. Not to mention the talent of that boy Xiao Zheng, Yang Nuoyan's outstanding talent is unique in the history of Hanbing City, even Lin Yike. But can her heart firmly support her?"

Tang Zhiqing murmured to herself, and then thought of herself fifty years ago. A sensation of pain as a needle-shot needle suddenly came from her chest.

"Ancestors! Later generations are unfilial, unable to reach the height of yours, nor can they fulfill your wishes. However, your will will continue to be inherited and will never be cut off!"

Tang Zhiqing's voice echoed in this uninhabited space, floating for a long time, but it never dissipated.

A few days later, basically all the people who came to participate in the trial meeting were here. In addition to practicing, Xiao Zheng was studying the map in the past few days.

But in the eyes of others, they just saw Xiao Zheng, Chu Yue and others going out frequently and didn’t know where to go.

Several of the group complained about this, but Han Xichao didn't say anything, so they stopped talking.

In fact, although Xiao Zheng was nominally accompanying Chu Yue out, the real situation was that he was looking for those secret passages.

The prosperity of this Fengdu main city was something that Xiao Zheng and others had never seen before. After a few days, he only confirmed the location of one of the passages, while the others were too far away to go.

Three days before the trial meeting began, all the participants had arrived. The City Lord's Mansion of Fengdu Main City immediately sent people to convey the message, asking all the people from the big city to come to see the City Lord.

On the Hanbing City, Mr. Che took Han Xichao and the others to go, and the others should still do whatever they should do.

Xiao Zheng has always disappeared these days, and even Chu Yue and Yang Nuoyan are the two closest ones to him.

But when Xiao Zheng came back, he saw everyone gathering in the yard.

“What is this doing?”

Xiao Zheng walked up to ask with a little strangeness.

When Chu Yue saw Xiao Zheng coming back, she happily grabbed his arm and explained.

"Old Che asked to investigate the information of other participants. Yang Dingtian is telling us now!"

Xiao Zheng suddenly realized that except for the six of them, the others who came to Fengdu were not without missions, and this investigation of the opponent was one of them.

When Xiao Zheng walked to the end, he happened to hear Yang Dingtian telling a force called the Shadow Chasing Sect.

The Shadow-Chasing Sect is a force among the four guards of Fengdu. It is known for its strange body skills. It is a natural assassin who kills people invisibly.

Halfway through listening, Xiao Zheng curled his lips and stopped listening, but started discussing with Chu Yue in a low voice.

For Xiao Zheng, this kind of trial will not be his favorite fighting method. It has many rules and regulations. How can a person exert all his strength? If it weren't for this trip, he could even go to the main city of Fengdu to see it, he wouldn't even want to participate.

In a battle without blood and without real swords and guns, one cannot tell the true level of a person's strength. Some people have high strength levels and practice skills. They often win when competing with others, but once they enter the actual battle, they may not even be able to exert their own strength at the third level.

Although survival in hell is cruel, there are not many children of such aristocratic families. Moreover, Xiao Zheng's strength is built on killing and blood.

The battle method of the competition is that many people will collect information about their opponents before the battle to enhance their winning rate, but Xiao Zheng sneered at this.

Yang Dingtian was talking nonstop in front, but Xiao Zheng talked about other things with Chu Yue.

"Chu Yue, you have had a lot of contact with Lin Xiao these past two days. What do you think of others?"

Chu Yue tilted her head and thought for a moment, and said seriously: "The others are good. I heard many people who go to Wanbao Pavilion praise him, but he has a little weak personality and he is whatever others say, not tough."

When Xiao Zheng heard Chu Yue's comment on Lin Xiao, he couldn't help but feel happy.

"Brother Xiao, why do you think of asking this?"

Xiao Zheng explained softly: "Anyway, they all come from the earth. If others are fine, if you can, please help him. I see that he is not satisfied with his stay in Wanbao Pavilion. This place cannot be done without strength. With Lin Xiao's strength, I'm afraid he will only be a worker for others in his life."

"That's true!" Chu Yue nodded seriously, "Brother Xiao and I will go to his place to see another day!"

Xiao Zheng agreed with a smile, but he had other thoughts in his heart.

He did not forget to promise Han Xichao that he wanted to help her build a big city. The current Hanbing City has expanded its sphere of influence after fighting Sanguang City. Although Sanguang City is nominally under the jurisdiction of Starlight Hall, with Han Bashi's heroic spirit and ambition, he can definitely eat Sanguang City tightly.

He did not participate in the subsequent negotiations between Sanguang City and Hanbing City, but he heard something from others.

After expanding the sphere of influence, when Hanbing City recovers, he will naturally continue to think about building the main city. Xiao Zheng calculated that he didn't have much power in his hands and his force was OK. This Hanxi tide should be enough to solve, but he didn't have many talents in other aspects.

It is not that easy to build a big city, just take the simplest example, but there is no way to build a city among them.

In terms of administration, Lin Yike and the Earthlings who entered Hanbing City with him, they would not have any problems in this regard. In terms of military, Yang Nuoyan can also solve it. However, other aspects, such as economy, diplomacy, construction, etc., these things seem very basic but cannot be ignored.

There are also talents in this area in Hanbing City, but Xiao Zheng does not think that Hanbashi will help them.

From the bet between Han Bashi and Han Xichao, it can be seen that Han Bashi actually does not believe that Han Xichao can complete this bet.

"At least, we must build the city, so it is easy to find people in construction, but it is difficult to find designers! However, Lin Xiao is a good player in economic management."

Xiao Zheng thought to himself.

In fact, even if you want to find people in these areas, there is not no other way, but Xiao Zheng has changed his mind now.

After a brief meeting with Han Bashi before, Xiao Zheng was very disgusted with living under someone else's roof. Although Han Bashi seemed to value Xiao Zheng quite a bit, he knew in his heart that Han Bashi's most fundamental idea was to use him. Perhaps there was the reason why Han Xichao valued him, but no matter how he developed, he could not become the highest level of Hanbing City. This could be clearly known by his background.

If Hanbing City wants to be fully in the hands of the Han family, then the personnel arranged in key places must be trusted by the Han family, and Xiao Zheng cannot do this.

Therefore, by establishing one's own power, the idea of ​​irresistible emerged in Xiao Zheng's mind and could not be removed.
