This upward staircase is almost identical to the first downward staircase except for the wrong direction, and if it weren't for the direction, I would have thought that I had been tricked into an illusion and was going through it again.

At this moment, Ye Chen also had some indescribable feelings in his heart, he couldn't see the layout of this secret passage with his identification supernatural powers, if he was trapped inside, maybe he would really be trapped for a lifetime.

For some reason, Ye Chen felt that this upward staircase was extremely strange, although the direction was different, but he found that there was no difference between this entire staircase and the downward staircase, could it be the same staircase?!!

Ye Chen was taken aback by the thoughts in his heart, and then he felt that it was unlikely, because there was no point in coming back in such a big circle.

Unable to think of the result, Ye Chen was no longer entangled, and could only follow the team closely until a bright light appeared in front of him.

After walking up for an unknown distance, a bright light finally appeared in front of Ye Chen, and the light shining in took on a rectangular shape, which made Ye Chen vaguely have a bad premonition.

When Ye Chen walked to a higher place and finally saw where the light source came from, he was a little stunned for a moment. The light in front of me shines through a rectangular secret door. And this secret door is exactly the same as under the high platform of the central hall square.

Everyone noticed the strangeness of the matter, and their steps slowed down, but Zhuang Lingxiao still kept walking up step by step, and walked out of the door all of a sudden.

Although the development of the situation was far beyond everyone's expectations, the young people in the secret passage were not timid and fearful, and the few people who walked in the front looked at each other a few times, hesitated for a moment and followed out.

Ye Chen followed behind and quickly walked out of the door, in fact, when he hadn't walked out of the door, he had already seen the situation outside the door, which was exactly what he was familiar with in the central hall square, and the others were standing in the square in a daze, obviously their hearts were shocked.

After everyone walked out, Zhuang Lingxiao looked at everyone with a smile and asked, "What's wrong with all of you, why are you in a daze?"

Most people just felt incredible about returning to the same place after a tortuous and depressing journey, and when they heard Zhuang Lingxiao knowingly ask, someone said: "Elder Lingxiao, you are not kind like this, you took us around and came back, and it is not like this for a walk, didn't you say that you want to take us to the place where you want to recruit relatives?"

Zhuang Lingxiao said with a smile: "That's right, I'm taking you to the place where you recruit relatives, isn't this the place?"

"This is obviously the original place, Elder Ling Xiao, is it interesting for you to coax us like this?"

"That's right, this is clearly the square of the central hall, will we still admit our mistake?"

"Well, the room on the west side is the room where I live. ”

"This place has not changed at all from the beginning, how can it suddenly become a place of Dabi, you don't need to support us like this if you want to arrange anything temporarily, not to mention that it hasn't changed at all. ”

Hearing Zhuang Lingxiao say that the road he led was right, the crowd exploded at once, and he started talking.

Zhuang Lingxiao was still smiling and shook his head slightly, as if to say that these people had no knowledge.

"No, there's still a change here. I only heard a voice from the back of the crowd, and everyone looked back and saw that it was what Ye Chen had just said, and he was facing away from everyone and looking up at the high platform.

Only then did everyone look up at Ye Chen's gaze, and saw that there were eight young men in strong suits standing on the high platform at this time, looking down at them from top to bottom at this time, their eyes were full of provocation, as if they were disdainful of their hillbilly-like appearance just now.

After seeing the extra people on the stage, some people exclaimed: "That's the sea is immeasurable!

"There is also Xuchenzi, who is said to be the strongest young alchemist in the East China Sea!"

"And Lei Xiaotian, who is already a young king who has mastered the law of thunder!"

"And that ......"

Ye Chen was still guessing the identity of the person on the stage, but when he heard the exclamation from behind him, his heart suddenly understood.

After everyone was surprised, they saw Zhuang Lingxiao walking towards the high platform step by step, and someone smiled bitterly: "If Elder Lingxiao wants to take advantage of this time to invite these people, there is no need to do this." ”

Although there were some complaints in his mouth, none of the eight people on the stage were not famous young masters in the East China Sea, and no one dared to have any more opinions after complaining, so this road was taken in vain.

Zhuang Lingxiao didn't pay attention to the words of a few people in the audience, but used the power of the divine soul of his whole body, clapped his hands vigorously, and said loudly: "I announce, Vortex Island recruits relatives, and now it officially starts!"

As soon as the words fell, I only heard a sound of "squeak-", the main entrance of the central hall was all opened, and a group of people slowly walked into the black pressure outside the hall, the first person was wearing a black robe, the robe was embroidered with gold patterns, the eyebrows were messy, the eyes were deep, and the beard and the face of the national character were not angry and self-assured, giving people great pressure.

Ye Chen stared at it, there were four young people standing behind the black-robed man, and then there were several old men, and after a distance, there was a group of men, women and children of different ages. Among these people, only Zhuang Tianyou Ye Chen, who he had seen when he first landed on the island, knew him, and the other faces were all unfamiliar, but they should all be from Vortex Island.

After everyone stood still, the black-robed man stepped forward and said: "Zhuang Dingjun, the owner of the Lower Vortex Island, welcome everyone to come and participate in the little girl's recruitment competition, I hope that through this competition, the young people of the East China Sea and the Martial Arts Continent can have a certain exchange and understanding of each other, and also use this to recruit a wishful husband for my daughter." ”

Zhuang Dingjun's voice didn't sound loud at first glance, but then it sounded like a thunderbolt in his ears, and Zhuang Dingjun's words were heard clearly.

At this moment, all the young people clasped their fists and said, "I've seen the owner of Zhuang Island." ”

"No need to be polite, Elder Ling Xiao, you can continue to preside over the big competition. After Zhuang Dingjun finished speaking, with a wave of his robe, a thundercloud rolled out and fell behind everyone on the Vortex Island, gradually solidifying, and turned into a big bench, where men, women and children all sat down.

This move frightened Ye Chen, first, he didn't expect Zhuang Dingjun's comprehension of the law of thunder to be so high, condensing the clouds and turning into solidity, and he came with a wave of his hand. The second is that the bench formed by the thunderclouds feels like a dangerous object with a bomb hidden, and these people sit down as if they were normal.

Ye Chen secretly sighed that his vision was not high enough, and he usually insisted on the embodiment of supernatural powers in the use of the law, Zhuang Dingjun's shot woke him up at once, it seems that his view of the law is still too simple, and the level is far from enough.

At this time, Zhuang Lingxiao said on the stage: "Please pass the assessment and come to the stage on a few selected candidates and several teenagers from the Xu family and the Hong family." ”

Hearing this, Ye Chen walked up to the stage with everyone, and the four young people behind Zhuang Dingjun also walked out and arrived on the high platform.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zhuang Lingxiao arranged for everyone to stand in a big circle, stood in the middle of it, and said: "The recruitment of relatives on Vortex Island this time is an open competition, only ask about ability, not others, welcome colleagues from all over the world to come to watch the ceremony and witness together!"

After that, Zhuang Lingxiao high-fived three times. I saw that the doors of all the surrounding rooms opened instantly, and people came out of each room, obviously all of them were warriors who only asked to watch the ceremony when they first landed on the island.

And Ye Chen's sharp eyes found that the Shadow Sword King and others were also among them, Ye Chen still had some doubts in his heart, not knowing if this was the original hall or if it was really another hall.

Zhuang Lingxiao hugged his fists around and said, "Old man Zhuang Lingxiao is the host of this recruitment competition, and everyone is welcome to come and watch the ceremony!"
