Du Fan stepped into the secret room and began to practice in seclusion. Huo Ran                                                      �

?r    a    n?

Of course, he was not preparing for the battle for the city lord, but to find opportunities for the next realm.

...

A year later, the grand ceremony of cultivation was held as scheduled, and all the cultivation powers from all over the world gathered in Xingcheng, and the scene was extraordinary.

Du Fan was told that in the week after the opening of the cultivation event, there were some formal things and had no practical significance. The real battle for the city lords would be held in a week.

Of course, the first few days of the city lords' battle for the city is also meaningless. In Xue Zhi's words, those people are jumping clowns who cannot be played on the table, most of whom are casual cultivators, just to show their faces, hoping to be appreciated. A position in the Star City, and the real city lord will be about a month later.

So during this month, it doesn’t matter whether Du Fan participates or not, you can decide by your own preferences.

Du Fan naturally had no interest in participating in the formalities of such opening ceremony, but it was okay to see the battle between monks.

On the tenth day after the cultivation event began, Du Fan left the city lord's mansion and rushed to the place of decisive battle.

...

This is a square specially used for grand ceremony, covering an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of acres. There are no people on weekdays, but now it is huge and crowded. The ground and mid-air are full of people, bustling and bustling.

As a distinguished guest of the City Lord's Mansion, Du Fan also claims to be a great perfection in the Nascent Soul stage, so he naturally does not have to compete with these people for the position. After showing the City Lord's Mansion privilege token, he was taken directly to the main stand.

The main stand is quite large, enough to accommodate thousands of people, but the actual number is not that large. In addition to some powerful Nascent Soul powers who have met Du Fan in the city lord's mansion, there are also twenty or thirty people, all of whom have the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul Stage or above, and there are also Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage.

Qiu Yunzi was talking to a bald man next to him. When he saw Du Fan appear, he immediately ended the conversation with the man and stood up to greet him.

"Fellow Daoist Du is here, I thought I would have to live some days to see you." Qiu Yunzi said with a smile.

"Anyway, there is nothing to do, so I came here early." Du Fan replied to Qiu Yunzi, nodded at Xue Zhi, Qin Ze, Qu Jinse and others, as if he had said hello.

The bald man who had just talked to Qiu Yunzi, his mind swept away Du Fan's face and his face changed immediately. After a moment, he stood up and walked towards Qiu Yunzi.

"Lord Qiu, this fellow Taoist has extraordinary cultivation and is not even inferior to you and me. Why have I never heard of such a powerful person in the extreme north before?" Although the bald man was asking Qiu Yunzi, his eyes were always on Du Fan and never moved away.

"I forgot to introduce that this is Du Wenfeng and fellow Taoist Du. Due to his years of seclusion and hard work, few people know that he is now a VIP in this city." After saying to the bald man, Qiu Yunzi then introduced to Du Fan: "This is a fellow Taoist Lingzhi, known as the old monster Lingzhi. Like me, he is also a lord of the star city. This time he was invited to watch the ceremony."

Du Fan clasped his fists at the bald man and said, "Lord Lingzhi City, I have long admired the name of Daqi."

"I thought it was just a boring ceremony, but I didn't expect to meet a person like Fellow Daoist. This is really worth the trip, haha." The old monster Lingzhi smiled and looked very generous.

Afterwards, Qiu Yunzi introduced the other Nascent Soul Powers to Du Fan again, which was considered to have known each other.

It turns out that these Nascent Soul powers did not participate in the battle for the city lord, but came from other different star cities. Like the old monsters of spiritual intelligence, these people were invited to watch the ceremony. The difference is that they are just guardians of the major star cities, not the city lords.

After all the politeness, everyone sat down one after another and focused their attention on the ring in the distance.

There are six arenas in the huge square, and the battles between the cultivators in each game are carried out simultaneously. The winner has the chance to go further and the loser is eliminated directly.

At this time, the cultivators who were competing on the six arenas, without exception, are all in the Golden Pill stage.

Du Fan showed that the cultivators living in this extreme north, regardless of the attributes of the main spiritual root, their practices were more yin and cold. However, due to the slightly single relationship between the form and type of spells, their comprehensive combat power was not outstanding. Compared with Jiuzhou Greater 6, the combat power of cultivators of the same level in the extreme north was slightly inferior.

Just as Du Fan was thinking, Qu Jinse suddenly raised his hand and signaled. A Jindan-stage cultivator in the city immediately came over and bowed respectfully to the woman.

"Guardian Qu, what instructions do you have?"

"The man in black in the ring No. 3 has good practices of concealing skills and assassination secret techniques. After this competition is over, you will attract him as the Flying Eagle Team in this city." Qu Jinse ordered.

"Yes, my subordinates understand." The Jindan monk replied immediately.

"Okay, you go down first."

...

A few days later, a powerful Nascent Soul power came onto the arena, and the Jindan monk opposite him smiled bitterly and left the court with voluntarily.

With the first Nascent Soul powerhouse on the field, the style of the six arenas changed, and the battle between Jindan monks rose from the battle for the city lord in the true sense.

Half a month later, five of the six arenas were removed, leaving only one, but there was a fierce competition at the late stage of the Nascent Soul level.

After a full day and night of fierce fighting, one of them had insufficient magic power in the late stage of the Nascent Soul and was defeated, the other one won.

...

"Lord Qiu, it's time for this. Isn't anyone in your Star City still there? If this continues, the position of the lord will be handed over to outsiders." The old monster Lingzhi glanced at Qiu Yunzi and said this.

"It's just that there is no successor in this city, but it makes the Lord of Lingzhi City laugh." Qiu Yunzi smiled faintly, not saying anything.

"I said Lao Qiu, what are you selling in this gourd? Are you not planning to let your two fellow Taoists, Qin and Xue, succeed to the city lord?" The old monster Lingzhi frowned, wriggled his lips, and sent messages.

"I think of it, but unfortunately, although these two people are good at strength, they really can't stand the seat when it comes to the position of the Lord of Star City." Qiu Yunzi replied in a voice transmission.

"Laoqiu, don't tell me that the forces you have worked hard in Xingcheng over the years will be dispersed as soon as you say it. Even if you join the Beiming Holy Land, Star City is such a big treasure, I don't believe you can throw it away as soon as you say it!" The old monster Lingzhi sneered.

"You all say that Xingcheng is a big treasure, so how could I bear to throw it away? It's just that I can't help but find someone to keep it for you." Qiu Yunzi smiled slightly.

"Oh? Who did you say that person is? Could it be..."

Just at this moment, the figure flashed and appeared on the ring in a flash. It was Du Fan. (To be continued...)
