Chapter 226

After the battle on the long street in Tongyou City that day, the death of Beihai Academy's fourth-rank master You Haibiao was widely spread in Tongyou City.

However, amidst the divergent opinions on the cause of You Haibiao's death, it was the senior officials of the five colleges who gathered in Tongyou City at this time who were silent on this matter.

And under the cover of this "inaction" appearance, more than half a month has passed in time, and this matter has gradually faded in Tongyou City.

Especially during the past half month, the convoys of Ji, Liu, and Yun from the other three major clans of Tongyou City successively returned to Tongyou City from the battlefields of the two worlds through Tongyou Academy, each time causing quite a stir in the city .

Especially when the Liu family motorcade returned, the news of Liu Jitang's death spread, causing an uproar in Tongyou City.

If it weren't for the spread of the news and the news that Liu Zhiyuan successfully condensed the evil light of his life and advanced to the fourth heaven of martial arts, I am afraid that people are now talking about when the four major families of Tongyou City should become the three major families, and even now. Maybe someone will fall into trouble.

Because there had been no new Tier 4 warriors in Tongyou City for a long time, after Liu Zhiyuan advanced to the Fourth Heavenly Layer, discussions about the newly promoted Tier 4 warriors in Tongyou City soon arose.

And it wasn't until this time that the warriors of Tongyou City knew that apart from the head of Tongyou Academy and the four deputy heads of the mountain, Shangshe taught Liu Qinglan, the head of the examination department Shang Lubing, and the head of the Buddhist scriptures pavilion. Dong Qianzui is already a Tier 4 warrior!

In this battle between the two realms, although Dong Qianzui and Liu Jitang lost the two fourth ranks on the side of Tongyou City, three new Wusha Realm fighters Liu Zhiyuan, Shang Ke, and Kang Ci were added. And the overall strength of Tongyou City actually rose instead of falling!

And it wasn't until this time that many warriors suddenly realized that among the four big families that had always stood side by side, the merchant had already owned two fourth-tier warriors before they knew it!

How can this not surprise Tongyou City?

Could it be that the strength ranking of the four major families in Tongyou City is going to be different?

You must know that according to the general cognition of Tongyou City, the merchant was the lucky one who rose to prominence because of Kou Chongxue's support, and has always been the last among the four major families.

It was also because of this that the merchants made other second-rate families in Tongyou City jealous.

Many people think that the merchant is just lucky. If Kou Chongxue had picked up any second-rate family in Youcheng for support, the development of the merchant in more than ten years would not be worse than that of the merchant!

Now the merchant is going to soar into the sky, the two fourth-rank warriors, and it is said that the cultivation base of Shangbo may have reached the fourth level of the martial arts realm, this strong sense of gap is even more likely to push the merchant to the cusp trend.

However, soon a piece of news spread throughout Tongyou City, and even began to spread to other regions through the high-level leaders of the four frontier colleges gathered in Tongyou City.

Shang Bo, the former patriarch of the Shang family in Tongyou City, has resigned from the position of patriarch. From then on, he no longer cares about the affairs of the merchants. Bo's younger brother, Shang Ke, a newly promoted fourth-rank warrior, succeeds him.

"What is this? The outgoing patriarch of the merchant expelled himself from the family?"

"It's a trick of stealing ears and stealing bells. The business is really at a critical moment of life and death. Let's see if he doesn't care about it!"

"In layman's terms! Today's Tongyou City, Tongyou Academy and the four major families can be said to be all prosperous and all damaged. What does it matter if Shangbo is the patriarch of a merchant?"

"In this way, if the former patriarch of Shangbo is not included, the overall strength of the current merchants is probably the last among the four major families!"

"Don't forget, merchants have gained the most in the two worlds this time! The ruins of the Zhu family were born, and the Four Spirit Mountains were broken. The foundation of these two major forces was taken by the academy and the four major families. The size of the fleet returned from the previous four major families It can be judged that the merchant's harvest is almost two or three times that of the other three. In this way, the shallow background that the Shang family has always been criticized by people will also make up for it. Not surprisingly, the overall strength of the merchant will meet in a short time. Let’s make a big boost!”

"..."

In the midst of the hustle and bustle in Tongyou City, Yu Chengjin, the sword-bearing elder of Jianmen Academy, quietly came to the Shang Manor to visit.

"Elder Yu is here, my family of the Shang clan is full of splendor, please, please come inside!"

Although Shang Ke was surprised by Yu Chengjin's visit, on the surface he naturally welcomed him into the inner hall with enthusiasm.

After a servant served tea, the two greeted each other a few times, and Yu Chengjin directly explained the purpose of coming.

"I don't know if Mr. Shang Xia from your residence is here, but I have one thing to ask you to go to Mr. Shang."

Hearing this, Shang Ke was curious. How could a fourth-rank martial artist, the majestic sword-bearing elder of Jianmen Academy, beg for a second-rank disciple of his own?

However, Shang Ke only thought about it for a while, and he could roughly guess that this matter must be related to the battle on the long street that day.

Shang Ke didn't ask too many questions, he just gave orders to Hou outside the door, and then some servants rushed to report to Shang Xia.

Shang Xia had just finished drawing the last rune of a sword talisman when he heard the report from the servants outside the door.

Shang Xia put down the thorn brush, picked up the sword talisman that he had just drawn and blew it lightly, seeing that the ink on it dried up immediately, then he flicked it lightly, and said with a low laugh: "Finally, I'm here, and I got three hundred silver dollars! "

When he saw Shang Xia again, Yu Chengjin's gaze became even more strange, because he found that Shang Xia's aura was perfect and flawless at this time, and even he couldn't see through it, so he couldn't help but look at Shang Ke and sighed: "The merchant is here again!" I have to fill in a third-level master, this person is only twenty this year, far surpassing you and me!"

The tone of the words sounded rather embarrassing.

"The seniors praised it, but the younger generation can't bear it."

Shang Xia said with a smile: "I don't know if the senior summoned the junior, what orders do you have?"

Yu Chengjin pondered for a while and said: "To tell you the truth, my friend, in the battle on the long street the day before yesterday, the old man saw the spirit of the young friend's swordsmanship, so he wanted to let the children of the sect increase their knowledge, and Hou Yuchun actually came to meet with the old man at the order of the old man." The little friend sparred, but that guy was used to being arrogant and domineering in his words, but he was taught a sword by the little friend, which made him understand what is beyond the sky, which was originally the old man's intention. It's just that the little friend's swordsmanship is superb. The old man is also amazed, and that kid is an inexperienced boy, he is still bedridden until now, the external injury is not a big deal, but his dantian has no vitality, so in desperation, the old man has the audacity to come to ask for advice, what can I do, my friend? "

A majestic fourth-tier master said something like this, and his posture was so low. Shang Xia, let alone refuse, even if he wanted to speak a few words, he might be making enemies.

Without Shang Ke winking at the side, Shang Xia presented the sword talisman that had just been successfully drawn, and said, "What did the senior say? It's because the younger generation can't cultivate well, and the supernatural powers that have just been cultivated cannot be fully controlled. If you hurt Senior Brother Hou, this sword talisman should be regarded as an apology from this junior to Senior Brother Hou, and seniors only need to stick the sword talisman on the Xiaguan acupoint."

Yu Chengjin took Shang Xia's sword talisman suspiciously. Seeing that his expression was calm, he knew there was no fake.

Just looking at the slightly weird and unfamiliar lines on the sword talisman in his hand, Yu Chengjin couldn't help but said, "New talisman?"

Shang Xia turned a blind eye to Shang Ke who was also surprised beside him, nodded and said, "New talisman!"

Yu Chengjin pondered for a while, put the talisman into his sleeve, and then smiled and said: "How much is this talisman fake?"

Shang Xia smiled suddenly, and said, "I don't know if Brother Hou pushed that pair of Pai Gow worth three hundred silver dollars that day?"
