Night!

The outer gate of Shu Mountain, on a low mountain, Wu Yan looked into the distance, walking back and forth, looking anxious.

"The killer of the ghost, rarely misses, grandson, grandpa spent a lot of money this time to avenge you. ”

Wu Yan's eyes were full of coldness, and his whole heart had been blinded by hatred.

He was now desperate to know the situation in Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, and even wanted to go over and take a look.

However, he knew that there was a pair of eyes staring at him secretly, and as long as he dared to move the idea of going to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, he might lead to death.

That's an existence he can't afford to provoke, otherwise, Wu Yan wouldn't have spent a lot of money to find a ghost killer.

In the quiet valley, the wind and waves are calm, Zhang Tianze and Zhou Yuchen, in this quiet environment, retreat and practice, digest the gains.

And this retreat time also greatly exceeded Zhang Tianze's expectations at the beginning, according to his initial budget, a month of retreat can completely refine Xuanyan's heart fire.

But because of the disturbance of the killer of the ghost in the middle, Zhang Tianze's retreat state was interrupted, which made this time extend a lot.

When Zhang Tianze and Zhou Yuchen woke up from the retreat, more than a month had passed.

In the past month or so, the harvest of the two has been great.

In fact, Zhang Tianze had completely refined Xuan Yan's heart fire in twenty days, but Zhang Tianze did not leave the customs immediately, but continued to stabilize his cultivation, enhance his foundation, and hone in the tacit understanding between himself and Xuan Yan's heart fire.

At this moment, Zhang Tianze's cultivation has reached the peak of the Seven Heavens of the Innate Realm, even if he is only one step away from the Eight Heavens of the Innate Realm.

Zhou Yuchen's cultivation has not reached the peak of the Eight Heavens of the Innate Realm.

To put it bluntly, at this moment, Zhang Tianze and Zhou Yuchen's cultivation is the best among all the outer disciples of the entire Shushan Mountain, including the four courtyards of the east, west, north and south.

"Brother Tian, it's almost time, we're going back, there are still three days before the Fourth Courtyard Dabi. ”

Zhou Yuchen said.

"Well, go home, three days later, the four courtyards will be bigger, our brothers, let the southern courtyard raise their eyebrows. ”

Zhang Tianze's body was domineering, and the smile on his face revealed confidence from his bones.

The outer gate of Shushan, the meeting hall!

The three stewards and more than a dozen elders gathered together to discuss the affairs of the four houses in three days.

"Chief steward, today is the deadline, we must report the name of the four courtyards to participate in the four courtyards in three days, and the elders in charge of the four courtyards in the inner courtyard have already urged them three times. ”

An elder spoke.

The competition of the four courtyards is a grand event for Shushan, after all, the annual competition of the four courtyards is presided over by the inner courtyard.

There are only ten places in each branch, and these ten places are selected by the manager in charge of the outer gate of the branch.

According to the rules of previous years, the stewards of the four courtyards need to report the ten names of the participants in the big competition three days before the start of the big competition.

Now, the names of the Eastern, Northern, and Western Courtyards have all been reported, and the South Courtyard is missing.

On the side of the Southern Courtyard, the eight places led by Duan Jinghong have been selected, but Bai Feng has not reported for a long time, and the remaining two places are waiting for the hegemon Zhang Tianze and Tianmu Demon Pupil Zhou Yuchen.

"Lao Liu, Zhang Tianze and Zhou Yuchen, why haven't they come back yet?"

Bai Feng frowned and looked at Liu Baohuan, the third steward.

"I don't know, these two guys, they've been away for too long, even if they go out to practice, they should come back. ”

Liu Baohuan said.

Wu Yan on the side sneered with a sneer on his face, but his heart was secretly refreshing: "These two bastards, at this moment, I am afraid that there are not even bones and scum left in Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, Bai Feng and Liu Baohuan are still waiting for them to come back to participate in the big competition, it is strange to come back." ”

For Wu Yan, Zhang Tianze and Zhou Yuchen have not returned from going out for more than two months, and there is only one explanation, that is, the two have died in the hands of the ghost killer.

This is the only explanation, otherwise, it would have been back a long time ago.

"Chief steward, in my opinion, don't you have to wait, don't we have two candidates, both of them are the cultivation of the Nine Heavens of the Innate Realm. ”

"That's right, in my opinion, even if Zhang Tianze and Zhou Yuchen come back, with their cultivation, it is not enough to represent our Southern Courtyard to participate in the Four Courtyards Competition, Zhang Tianze's cultivation is only the fifth heaven of the congenital realm, and Zhou Yuchen's sixth heaven, even if they are gifted with divine bodies, but the gap in cultivation is too big. ”

"It makes sense, our Southern Courtyard has been the first to last for several years, so in the selection of people, we should pay more attention to it, if we are the first to last this year, we must not be ridiculed to death by the other three courts. ”

............

The elders of the major outer gates were all discussing, and many people felt that waiting for Zhang Tianze and Zhou Yuchen was a mistake in itself.

It is undeniable that Zhang Tianze and Zhou Yuchen's talents are absolutely first-class, especially Zhang Tianze, who is strong and domineering, breaking the record of gathering thunder pools, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a demon of the world.

It's just that geniuses also have to have a growth process, and the four academies are more than who is more talented, and when they reach the battle platform, they have to speak with their strength.

The strength of Zhang Tianze and Zhou Yuchen is really not enough compared to Dabi, after all, there are also top geniuses in the other three academies, like Duan Jinghong, they don't know what ranking they can get.

Duan Jinghong could have been promoted to the Yuan Realm a long time ago, but he has been pressing, and if the Southern Courtyard does this, it is difficult to guarantee that the other three courtyards will not do this, so even if Duan Jinghong is allowed to suppress his cultivation and make full preparations for the competition of the Four Courtyards, it will not make the Southern Courtyard have much advantage.

Duan Jinghong is powerful, and he is the hole card in the hearts of the major elders of the Southern Courtyard, but the other three courtyards naturally also have their hole cards.

Living examples from previous years are placed there.

"Steward, what do you think we should do? Do you need to wait any longer?"

Liu Baohuan looked at Bai Feng, he knew that Bai Feng had high hopes for Zhang Tianze, but now that Zhang Tianze had not returned, the inner courtyard was urging him again, so it was not a way to wait like this.

"Chief steward, in my opinion, there is no need to wait any longer. ”

Wu Yan said.

"Wait another hour, and if they don't come, choose someone else." ”

Bai Feng Dao, I really can't drag it on.

Outside the mountain gate of the South Courtyard of Shushan, Zhang Tianze and Zhou Yuchen returned in a hurry, and happened to meet Liu Tong, who had been anxiously waiting for a long time.

Seeing Zhang Tianze and Zhou Yuchen coming back, the anxious Liu Tong had a hint of joy on his face, and hurriedly greeted him: "I said two, why did you two come back." ”

"Did something happen?"

Zhang Tianze asked.

"You two hurry up to the outer door meeting hall, the inner court must hand over the list of the four houses today, the chief steward asked me to wait for you here, if you don't come back, the quota will be given to others." ”

Liu Tong said.
