Chapter 1559: The Battle for the Throne, the Five Kings

The worldly and sophisticated Mr. Guan seemed to understand something in an instant, but at the same time he seemed to understand nothing at all.

"First of all, here, in front of the Hall of Life and Death, no one is destined to die, because I am sure that there will be no dead people. Even if I am seriously injured, I can save it; so the so-called regret will not happen from the beginning. Appear!"

"Secondly, it's simpler and more pure... Those four rules are from my handwriting. Although the last one seems to be very different from the previous three requirements, and even contradicts itself, a detailed analysis shows that there is another context to follow. What I require is To determine the winner and the fittest, the first restriction is to hit the target. The reason why I added the next two is because I want to eliminate all those who dare to kill my brothers and colleagues in the Monarch Pavilion. No matter how high a person is in cultivation or how powerful he is, it is meaningless to me.”

Ye Xiao smiled faintly: "Because my purpose is to train these people as my direct descendants, and they are also my most fundamental team; the first thing to ensure is the purity of this team, this must not be Any flower leave exists.”

"The old man has experienced the world and naturally understands the importance of the unity and cohesion of the basic team, the team that started out."

Ye Xiao looked at Mr. Guan and said: "For an organization, the importance of the starting team has always been the top priority. The significance of this competition is of course the first battle to compete for the legendary position; But the deeper meaning is to wash away the sand in the big waves.”

"Don't worry, Mr. Guan." Ye Xiao looked at Mr. Guan sincerely: "I understand, I really understand."

…

After a long time, Mr. Guan was still sighing, thinking about Ye Xiao's words, "I understand, I really understand."

I understand, I really understand.

He doesn't mean that he understands the many subsequent changes that this incident will cause, because he has already explained it just now, and there is no need to go into details; the true meaning is actually... I understand your old intention!

Really understand!

Although Ye Xiao is young, he is able to see things so thoroughly, which is even more commendable; as he said, what he did was not just to throw out a few legendary ranking questions, but to say... big waves wash away the sand!

But the deeper purpose of doing this is... What Ye Xiao wants is not a Jianghu gang, but to lay the foundation for the future great cause, the most solid foundation!

"The waves are crashing into the sand..."

Mr. Guan kept mumbling to himself and staggered away.

Using a legendary position that can achieve a person's lifelong glory and fame, to do such a big wave...

Such a generous move, this move is really... vicious enough.

I believe that few people can remain calm in the face of such temptation!

Therefore, the subordinates Ye Xiao finally selected must be die-hard subordinates who value love and justice, take the overall situation into consideration, and have an organization in mind!

And what kind of situation can such die-hard subordinates gather together and share the same mind and heart with each other?

As Ye Xiao said: Mr. Guan should know the importance of the starting team for an organization!

Top priority!

How could a man like Mr. Guan not know this meaning?

"Cultivation of true direct descendants..." Mr. Guan couldn't help but sigh as he murmured to himself.

"If we had invested the elites of each family in the Monarch Pavilion early in the morning, and cultivated mutual trust in a subtle way, how could the situation have evolved to this? And now, if the major families are still unwilling to invest in manpower openly... Then, I'm afraid it will really happen I'm going to miss this opportunity..." Mr. Guan's heart was full of tangles.

It should be said that the situation of the Guan family is actually much better than that of other families. After all, a lot of manpower has been deployed. However, the high-end force has not yet been exposed, and it is still a situation that cannot be exposed either publicly or privately.

Privately speaking, if the Guan family now exposes its high-end force and joins the Monarch Pavilion forcefully, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction from other families and even violent backlash. This consequence is something the Guan family cannot afford.

Yu Gong, however, cannot be exposed even more. When the Guan family sent people into the Monarch's Pavilion, Yu Ming's identity was all logistics and civilian personnel. Some of the personnel may have a certain level of cultivation, but their combat capabilities are all scum. But these five scum of war actually have the strength that any one person can overturn the entire Monarch Pavilion. What do your Guan family want to do? The first thing that comes to mind must be - his actions are suspicious and his intentions are to be punished!

Therefore, the Guan family's initial move to settle in has gradually evolved into a situation in which they are trapped in a cocoon and unable to get out of the situation.

After thinking about it, Mr. Guan only had one thought, but he was unable to do anything.

…

The next day.

That is to say, the day that will be called the ‘beginning of the legend’ by the entire world of mortals has officially arrived.

This day, the second day of September!

(Ahem, the second day of September is my birthday...)

In the golden autumn of September, the autumn wind is rustling, the sky is high and clear, the sky is cloudless, and the sky is blue, which is a perfect weather.

There is a vacant space in front of the Hall of Life and Death, with a radius of a hundred feet, but it is vast.

The big tree that has now become the landmark of the Hall of Life and Death seems to have a layer of light lingering on the rustling leaves, rising and falling like rolling waves.

From a distance, it seems as if all the stars in the sky are gathering on this tree, creating a spectacle that is breathtaking.

At this moment, Ye Xiao and all the subordinates of the Monarch Pavilion floated in the air, hundreds of feet above the ground, standing out of thin air.

Ye Xiao's eyes were focused on the tree in the Hall of Life and Death, or rather, the tree was shining like stars, attracting everyone's attention.

That was the color of life.

Although many people didn't know why they were looking at a tree and why they had to be so focused, they watched it with all their heart and soul as if by instinct.

"Everyone, when I was very young, I heard such a legend. I don't know if you have heard of it."

Ye Xiao's voice was low, deep, and powerful. His eyes were still fixed on the light of the tree in the Hall of Life and Death. He said faintly: "Some people say... every successful person in this world... is a star from the sky who came down to earth, accompanied by destiny; everyone's life has the brilliance of his natal star."

"If this person is alive and lives a heroic life, the natal star in the sky will also shine brightly; if this person dies and no longer exists in the world, the natal star will dim, and even fall from the sky like a meteor."

Everyone nodded slightly.

This legend is widely spread in the Red Dust World, and almost everyone has heard of it.

This is not surprising at all.

But everyone does not know what the monarch means by saying this at this moment.

"I believe everyone knows that there are many low-level and medium-level planes under the Red Dust World." Ye Xiao said lightly: "In their eyes, we are immortals, sacred, and transcendent; but we know that we are not immortals, let alone sacred; there are still stars above our heads."

"A good man has ambitions in all directions, and a good woman should have the world in her heart. These stars in the sky are infinitely brilliant and dazzling. Are you willing to grab one? Become... a legend in the mouths of others?"

"Become a myth that spreads all over the world?"

Ye Xiao's sudden and surprising words ignited the fire in everyone's hearts.

If there is a chance to become a future legend, I believe no one will give up and miss it!

"The Hall of Life and Death created the Monarch Pavilion." Ye Xiao said, "And the Hall of Life and Death is such an evergreen tree that lasts forever! For us now, the tree of the Hall of Life and Death is our foundation."

"In my opinion, the light on every leaf of the tree of the Hall of Life and Death is the light of a star!"

The light of every leaf is the light of a star!

This sentence made everyone focus their attention and look at the tree deeply and attentively, looking at the leaves that rose and fell like waves and shimmered.

"This is our world! This is our star!"

"The Monarch Pavilion starts today, and the road to legend is just beginning; when we achieve great things in the future and become famous all over the world, we will be the stars in the sky, we will be the brilliant starry sky! We will be the sea of ​​stars!"

Ye Xiao turned around, his clothes fluttering in the air, his eyes like lightning, and his sharp eyes swept over the more than 1,700 men in front of him.

Everyone stood straight, with a burning gaze and full of energy.

"Today, there are a total of... 22 legendary positions to be fought for!" Ye Xiao swept his eyes over everyone's faces and said, "One Knife, Two Heroes, Seven Stars, Twelve Thrones!"

"Only the position of the Five Kings will be left for the next time."

"The one-knife defender is Qiu Luo; the two heroes defenders are the Black Evil Lord, Bai Long; the seven stars defenders are the seven guards; the twelve thrones defenders are the originally designated twelve hall masters!"

"Today is the first battle of legends, the fittest will survive, and the winner will naturally become the new champion."

"After today's battle, the winner's position will be maintained for three years; three years later, the legendary battle will start again, and the capable will still be promoted and the mediocre will be demoted."

"If you want to get the legendary position, you must rely on your own strength, fight for it yourself, and grab it yourself! There is no other way!"

"All calculations, strategies and conspiracies other than strength must not appear in the battle of the legendary position!"

There was silence.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were also flickering, thinking, thinking about what they should fight for and what they are most confident of.

"Of course, I still have to remind you that in addition to the Seven Stars, the positions of the Twelve God Seats need to be considered in more aspects. You still need to think about this carefully."

"I don't know since when the term "Twelve Zodiac" began to appear in this world; and the original intention of our current Twelve Halls was to correspond to these twelve zodiacs."

"What you need to understand is that why are rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs, and pigs able to become the twelve zodiacs, while other creatures are not selected?"

"Even the phoenix, the Vermilion Bird, the swan, etc., which seem to be very powerful and famous, are not qualified to be included?"

Ye Xiao's eyes flashed, and he continued to scan the crowd.

Everyone's face was full of confusion.

Everyone present naturally knew the twelve zodiacs, but they really didn't know how the creatures in the twelve zodiacs were originally selected. At this moment, Ye Xiao's abrupt question immediately aroused everyone's doubts about this old topic-

Yes, why?

Creatures such as the Phoenix, Vermilion Bird, and the Swan are household names. Even those legendary beasts are notorious for their evil deeds, but they are not included in the twelve zodiac signs. However, common domestic animals such as pigs, dogs, cows, and sheep are among them. It is really intriguing to see if there is another mystery behind this!

Did our ancestors not know about those powerful creatures and famous species?

That's impossible.

The more legendary and famous the life is, the more our ancestors know about it, at least better than modern people.

If they knew, or even understood, why didn't they choose those famous lives?

It is not true to say that all the twelve zodiac animals are ordinary. The dragon is the highest-level species on par with the phoenix and the unicorn. The tiger and the snake are also fierce species and are famous beasts among animals.

Ye Xiao said with a sigh in the eyes of everyone full of questions: "Here, I can tell you my understanding. My understanding is very simple. The twelve animals corresponding to these twelve zodiac animals have different temperaments, habits, and ways of doing things."

"In my opinion, the temperament and personality of these twelve zodiac animals have basically covered all the temperaments and personalities of human beings; as for other creatures, no matter how noble or notorious they are, it is inevitable to repeat them if they are barely listed, and even cause omissions in other aspects."

"Secondly, the personality characteristics, nature, instinct, and action characteristics of these twelve zodiac animals also cover all the temperaments and personalities in the world. All the characteristics required for the job position are captured in one fell swoop! "

"So, this is the fundamental reason why the twelve zodiac signs in my cognition choose those twelve actions. "

"It is precisely because of this cognition that our war hall is divided into these twelve halls. "

"Also based on this reason, if everyone wants to compete for the position of the head of each hall, they must figure out what the basic function of this hall is; in which direction to develop in the future, and how to act specifically. This is the first test for competing for the position of the head of the twelve war halls. Only after passing this test can you be qualified to participate in the competition for the twelve thrones. "

"Secondly, as a hall master, you must also be brave, resourceful, responsible, and able to stand on your own!"

"No more idle talk, start now!"

After Ye Xiao announced the start, everyone was still in a silent atmosphere, thinking and pondering, and no one took the lead.

And Grandpa Guan and other elderly members of the referee group were also thinking deeply, thinking about every word Ye Xiao had just said.

As Grandpa Ju pondered, he muttered to himself: "One sword, two heroes, seven stars, twelve thrones...above these positions, there are five higher kings...leaving them for future competition?"

"Doing this...is there any deeper purpose?"

"The temperament and personality characteristics of the twelve zodiac signs? This statement..."

"The five kings are fictitious..."

On the other side, Grandpa Yun was also muttering to himself, thinking deeply.

He frowned, stroked his beard, and looked thoughtful: "Everything else is easy to understand. Even if the viewpoint is unique, it's the same thing in the end, but...the five kings are fictitious...five kings...hiss!"

Suddenly, he didn't know what he thought of, and his face suddenly changed. His always calm hands trembled subconsciously, and a strand of long beard was pulled down by himself. This change came unexpectedly, and the old man himself gasped in pain.

"What's wrong with you, old man? Are you having nocturnal illness?" Grandpa Song asked in a low voice.

They were all old friends, and they were all very familiar with each other. They were surprised to see him pull off his beard. They must have had some unexpected thoughts, so they couldn't help but ask.

The other two elders also turned their eyes to him at the right time. Why did the always cautious old man Yun lose his composure today? Even if Ye's point of view was ingenious, it was not so shocking!

"Why is it the Five Kings?" Old Master Yun still moaned from time to time, and still held the white beard he had just pulled off in his hand. His expression was all lost and distracted.

"Five Kings? What's so strange about the Five Kings? It's worth your fuss!" Old Master Ju snorted and insulted Old Master Yun.

"What's so strange? Just because you asked this question at this moment, don't tell me how smart you are in the future!" Old Master Yun sneered and looked at Old Master Ju: "Have you ever thought about how many kings there are in the world of the Red Dust Heaven?"

"Five... Who doesn't know this? This is worth asking... Uh!... You..." Old Master Ju answered casually, and suddenly seemed to realize something, and his face changed drastically, no longer smiling!

Several other old men were also shocked when they heard this, and their faces changed drastically in an instant.

"Southeast, Northwest, Liulitian!"

"In today's world, only these five can be called the true kings. Even Mr. Ye was only listed as a king in the past, but not a king in reality."

"However, Ye Xiao has established the position of 'Five Kings' in his Monarch Pavilion at this time!"

"When it was first discussed, there were only One Sword, Two Heroes, and Seven Stars... There was no so-called 'Five Kings' position!"

"This title was obviously added later."

"Since it is a position added later, it must have been added after careful consideration."

"But why is it 'Five' Kings? Is it really just a coincidence, or is it intentional?"

"And the position of 'Five Kings'; in the Monarch Pavilion, it is second only to the monarch! What does this mean?"

The voice of Mr. Yun has begun to tremble: "What does this contain, have you thought about it?"

Several old men were stunned.

So much so that... the first battle in the field had already officially begun, the battle was in full swing, the sword lights flashed and the sword wind whistled, like a blizzard in the coldest days of winter...

These old guys didn't notice it, and they were still in this incredible shock!

...
