Chapter 247 The Biggest Dark Horse

Five months later, in the imperial city of the imperial capital, the emperor was reviewing memorials in the imperial study.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed and landed beside him, knelt down on one knee, raised a note respectfully with both hands, and said indifferently: "Your Majesty, there is news from the Luo family from Yunlong City!"

"Submit it!"

The emperor opened his mouth softly, but without looking at him, the man immediately got up and handed over the note respectfully.

The emperor took it and opened it, but just took a look, then stared at him, threw his hands on his face, and cursed loudly: "In the past five years, every time the information came, everything was fine and normal. But this time the Luo family is making a big splash in the contention among a hundred schools of thought, where did their young masters at the bone forging level come from, and how did you get the information?"

"Your Majesty is guilty, please appease your anger!" The man hurriedly knelt down, trembling with fright.

The emperor caressed the dragon's beard, and the anger in his eyes was as intense as a volcano erupting. But soon, he calmed down, with a deep light shining in his eyes.

But this situation is even more frightening than when he was angry!

"Is there any news about that kid Zhuo Fan?" the emperor asked in a dark voice.

The man kowtowed to the ground and shook his head: "Report to Your Majesty, we haven't found it yet!"

"Then what about the news about the Dragon Guardian and the Ancient Santong?" the emperor continued to ask.

The corner of the man's mouth twitched, he was about to cry, and he said tremblingly: "I report to Your Majesty, but I haven't found anything!"

"The Luo family, the Luo family, couldn't find it after five years of investigation; Zhuo Fanzhuofan, after another five years of investigation, they couldn't find it; even an arrogant child like Gu Santong, who can cause trouble wherever he goes, you can't find it. I can't find it! Hmph, what is the use of raising you bastards!" The emperor smiled coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes.

The man hastily kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I'm not good at things, please forgive me!"

"Get off!" The emperor waved his sleeves and shouted coldly.

The man hurriedly bowed three more times, and fled out scrambling: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty..."

Taking a deep breath, the emperor looked up at the sky, his eyes flickering: "Gu Santong and Zhuo Fan disappeared at the same time. Is that news true? Did they all die in Luolei Gorge?"

"If that's the case, forget about the ancient three links. That kid is very unstable. Maybe he will disappear from the world, which is a good thing! However, Zhuo Fan has not yet completed the task I entrusted to him, and it is a pity to die. But this kid is really amazing. It is really a miracle that he was able to turn a poor and white third-rate family into such a powerful family as it is today! I just don’t know that the current Luo family can survive without Zhuo Fan. Whether it meets my requirements, hehehe..."

The emperor laughed lightly, the laughter lacked the heartiness of an emperor, and more of the treachery of a hero.

At this moment, a guard came to the emperor, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the dragon guardian Gu Santong is back!"

Uh!

The laughter stopped abruptly, the emperor pondered for a while, sighed, waved his hands and said: "Got it!" But there seemed to be a little displeasure on his face!

Alas, the troublesome guy still hasn't disappeared from the world...

At the same time, a familiar figure appeared in front of a tall city gate. Looking up, I saw three vigorous and powerful characters engraved on the top of the city gate, Yunlong City!

Legend has it that this is the place where the current royal family, the Yuwen family, made their fortunes when they raised their troops and founded the country, so the contention of a hundred schools of thought once every hundred years is also held here!

"Hey, I stayed in Luolei Gorge for too long, I hope it's not too late, those guys must not be beaten back to their hometown right away!" Wrapped in a black cloak, Zhuo Fan sighed. sound, and hurried to the city.

Around the city, there are troops guarding it, but they do not restrict access!

The main reason is that this grand event is a grand event for the entire imperial family, and everyone is naturally free to come and go to watch it, or participate in the contention of a hundred schools of thought.

The main task of the army is to prevent private fights between families, especially the Seven Imperial Clans. Once fighting, it is easy to cause turmoil in the entire empire.

In this way, the people who were sent to guard the city this time are also ready to come out.

In the entire empire, the only one who can deter the seven Yuxia families is the second-ranked Marshal of Tianyu, God of War Dugu Zhantian!

But Zhuo Fan didn't want to meet the old man yet, so he sneaked in low-key!

As soon as he entered the city, Zhuo Fan was completely stunned, because it was so lively and crowded. Even compared to the Baidan event in Huayu City, it was more than ten times more lively.

But thinking about it is right, how many families can be attracted by the Baidan event in Huayu City? This contention of a hundred schools of thought has attracted all the families in the entire empire who want to make a fortune, so it's hard not to be lively!

However, he has no time to watch the excitement on the street. He must immediately find the location of the Luo family and determine the current situation!

But before he took a few steps, a loud noise suddenly came to his ears: "The Luo family in Fenglin City has won 27 consecutive victories, advanced to the final of the second-rate family, and became the biggest dark horse in this competition!"

Frowning unconsciously, Zhuo Fan followed the prestige, but saw that it was a noisy tavern, so he walked slowly, wanting to see what happened.

But as soon as he entered it, Zhuo Fan suddenly felt a strong smell of alcohol rushing towards him, and there was a lot of voices. A group of old men with shirtless arms pumped their fists and yelled, arguing for something.

On the front of the tavern, there is a large gambling table, and on the back wall are the names, cities, and even ranks of each family.

A group of people sat at the gambling table, betting non-stop.

Of course, the odds vary from family to family.

Looking up, Zhuo Fan discovered that the name of the Seventh Family was actually written on it, and even the nickname of the representative genius disciple was written on it.

"Flying Hanfenghuayulou, Chuanlin Pterosaur Happy Forest, Golden Armored Sword Dragon and Sword Marquis Mansion..." Zhuo Fan murmured word by word, but in the end he suddenly exclaimed: "Heifeng, the soaring devil dragon! Shan, whose nickname is this?"

Seeing Zhuo Fan making such a fuss, a boy at the gambling table curled his lips in disdain, and said with a sneer: "You bumpkin, you came from the mountains, Lianfenglincheng, Heifengshan Luojia, there is a soaring demon!" Long Zhuofan, don’t you know?”

Zhuo Fan was dumb for a while, scratching his head, when did he have the nickname of the soaring dragon?

Seeing that he still didn't understand, the young man sighed and explained: "You are too ignorant, the devil Zhuo Fan made a big disturbance in Huayu City back then, and everyone in the world didn't know who didn't know? Now I heard that he is going to represent Luo If you come to participate in the contention of a hundred schools of thought, you will naturally have to keep pace with the six dragons and one phoenix, so someone gave him the nickname Soaring Demon Dragon, which seems to be taken from the martial skill he used at that time!"

"fart!"

However, before the boy finished speaking, a big man cursed and said: "Pure nonsense, although the demon king Zhuo Fan used a trick of the dragon soaring to the sky to kill the second son of the Emperor's Gate in Huayu City, but this The meaning of the nickname actually means that he will transform into a soaring dragon, break through the sky, and challenge the authority of the Seventh Family for thousands of years! If you don’t know anything, don’t give others random explanations and mislead your children!”

Zhuo Fan nodded slightly, feeling that the second explanation was more reasonable.

Grandma is a bear, who dares to cover the sky on my head, I will wash him to pieces, this is my style. Hahaha... Soaring Demon Dragon, I like it!

However, before he could show his ecstasy, the young man yelled at the big man again, "You are just farting, no matter how powerful the devil Zhuo Fan is, how can he beat it with his own strength?" The prestige of the seven families? The seven families stand tall in the sky for thousands of years, and they are not idle people. Haven’t you heard that the backstage of the Luo family is the Jianhou Mansion, Qianlong Pavilion and Huayu Tower? I guess, even if the Luo family finally reaches the seven When the family decides to fight, they will also participate in the battle as the subordinate families of these three families!"

bump!

Suddenly, Zhuo Fan slapped the table, his face quickly turned cold, and he said gloomyly: "Who told you that the Luo family is the affiliated family of the three of them? Tell you, this time the Luo family will be an independent family, with seven The family competes together, and will never hide under the shelter of any family, just wait and see for me!"

Unable to shudder, both of them looked at Zhuo Fan without knowing why. What is the relationship between this person and the Luo family? Why do you defend this new dark horse so much?

However, before they sneered and scolded Zhuo Fan for being mentally ill, an old laugh suddenly sounded in front of everyone's ears: "Hehehe... Yes, the Luo family is going to challenge the millennium change with the power of one family." Otherwise, if a hundred schools of thought contend to the end, it will be a battle of seven schools of thought every time, wouldn't it be so boring?"

His body trembled unconsciously, Zhuo Fan hurriedly turned to look, but saw three old figures standing behind him. And the three of them, like him, were all wearing a cloak to hide their figures.

An old man in the middle slowly raised his head, showed deep eyes, looked at Zhuo Fan with a grin and said, "Steward Zhuo, I have been friends with you for a long time, and today we finally meet. Zhuge Changfeng, the prime minister of the empire, , is it convenient to talk about it?"

The pupils shrank suddenly, Zhuo Fan took a deep look at him, surprised.

He never expected that the Prime Minister of the Four Pillars, Zhuge Changfeng, would come to him in person! Then he looked at the two old men beside him, their aura was hidden, they were definitely rare peerless masters in the world.

So taking a deep breath, Zhuo Fan nodded slightly. Zhuge Changfeng smiled, made a gesture of please, and went to a wine table with Zhuo Fan and sat down.

The other two old men stood beside Zhuge Changfeng, their pupils flashed suddenly, and an invisible air enveloped them immediately. Noises from the outside can no longer be heard, and the voices inside are equally difficult to detect from the outside world.

But to everyone else, these four people are no different, as if they are just sitting there and chatting. And the boy and the big man looked at the four of them inexplicably, then shook their heads and stopped looking.

Zhuo Fan was terrified, and was even more afraid of these two old men. With such strength, he can easily isolate the outside world, which is not something ordinary masters of magic can achieve. Even if it is the peak of the gods, it must not be possible!

These two people must have practiced some kind of special skills, they really should not be underestimated!

Look at this Zhuge Changfeng again, although he only has a cultivation base of the second level of Profound Sky, but there are many masters around him, and there are a large number of strange people, his fear is really not lower than that of any of the seven families.

The head of the four pillars is well-deserved...
