Xu Qingzhi did not discover any interesting existences within the crowd in the restaurant. As of now, Xu Qingzhi's standards were much higher. His sixth-grade strength was naturally interested in these young and mediocre martial artists.

"All these people who live in restaurants are common ones. Only the truly amazing ones can see them."

On one hand, he was worried that someone would recognize him and target him. On the other hand, he was worried that this martial arts world was not like the lives of ordinary people, and it was inevitable that they would have their own enemies. If the situation did not go well in front of the martial competition, then in the end, even if both sides suffered injuries, others would still take advantage of them.

"Master Hou, can I participate?"

"Huh?"

Xu Qing's question was rather sudden. Li Chen had never imagined that Xu Qing would want him to participate in a competition. This could not be said to be a lot of things for Xu Qingzhi. It was just that he was not very clear on his own strength. Normally, he would only exchange moves with Mo Yunchang as if they were sparring. However, Xu Qingzhi was confident that he would be able to defeat most fifth grade experts with his sixth grade cultivation. If it was fourth grade … He also didn't quite believe that a minor competition in the mortal world could attract third or fourth rank experts. These third or fourth level experts were either the trusted aides or the owners of a large force.

Most of the third or fourth level experts had joined the army. Some of them were masters of the martial arts world. Even if they were not the masters of the martial arts world, they were just like the elders or foreign delegates. Thus, Xu Qingzhi was not worried about his safety. He purely wanted to see just what sort of strength he currently possessed.

However, this was not the same in Li Shen's eyes. In his opinion, Xu Qingzhi was risking his own life to improve his impression of martial artists. No matter how much they cared about these martial artists, it was not as easy as beating them up. These martial artists valued strength the most, and they respected them as long as they had the strength.

The martial competition was about to begin. Xu Qing was not sure if he could add another person to it. When the time came, it would be an arena battle. If you had the strength to fight from first to last, it would be no problem at all, and there were very few people who took advantage of the situation to directly issue a challenge, usually asking if you still had any energy left. If not, you could rest and fight with the challenger.

Xu Qingzhi nodded his head. As expected of the martial arts competition in the martial arts world, it was a lot more casual than those in the autumn.

"In that case, let's go take a look first."

Since he could enter the arena at any time, Xu Qingzhi was in no hurry to register. At that time, it would not be too late for him to take the field and try his luck.

Just like that, the group of people returned to the restaurant. However, none of them noticed that there was a pair of eyes in the corner that seemed to be constantly dodging, but from the corner of their eyes, they never left Xu Qingzhi.

"..."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure. Your subordinate will personally witness Heir Huai entering the restaurant." "He did indeed hear that Crown Prince Huai wanted to take part in the martial competition."

This person was the martial uncle in the corner of the restaurant. Currently, he was respectfully reporting the news of Xu Qing to the man in front of him.

"Interesting, our Crown Prince Huai is really ambitious."

He believed that he had stirred up the flames of hatred within his heart. Originally, he had planned to use this great grandmaster to get rid of Xu Qingzhi so that he would not be discovered by anyone. Nowadays, the sects in the building were all stubborn, but their attitude towards the northwest was subtly divided into two factions. Those sects that had been trampled by Chu Huainan's Steel Cavalry all wanted revenge, but those that hadn't suffered such a disaster didn't want to oppose the Northwest.

"Those guys just stood there and said nothing. Their sect didn't suffer any losses, but what about us? Tell a few of the experts participating in the competition to contact each other. If the Crown Prince wishes to participate in the competition, he must not let anyone bother him because he doesn't want his identity to be exposed. Tell them that the youngster who got rid of the white clothes gave them gold and silver.

"Yes sir!"

After no one was around, the man let out a soft sigh.

"Do you think that I'm being a little superfluous?"

There was no one around. Who was he talking to?

"Not only is it superfluous, it's extremely stupid."

The clear and drizzling rain slowly walked out from behind the screen. Her scarlet lips seemed to possess an indescribable seductive beauty.

"Of course, I also know that there is a high chance that the Missing Moon Tower will be exposed, and then we'll be found out by our Mount Li Faction. But as you said, even a great grandmaster like you would have to worry about the power of our Crown Prince's secret bodyguards, let alone us." So, it would be better to just kill him in the arena! "

Martial arts competitions were held everywhere just for the sake of making the martial artists in the martial arts world give it a try and for the sake of making those who were worried beat up the face of others. It was rare for people to die. Besides, the man still held back. He would definitely give a thunderous strike when everyone's heart dropped.

"What if it does happen, even if it turns up on us? In any case, we, Mount Li, have long since died in name, and we are not much better off than your Karakorum Sword Sect. In any case, you still have the Great Grandmaster's banner, but what about us? "Today, how many people in the world still remember our Mount Li?"

The man seemed to be mocking himself, but he had once again ignited the seed of revenge in Qing Shi Yu's heart. She was the only one left in the Karakorum Sword League.

When he felt the rain suddenly turn cold, the man smiled inwardly.

"If my men fail to kill our Crown Prince in the ring, then we will have to trouble Great Grandmaster to take action."

The man cupped his hands, but Qing Shiyu snorted coldly.

"I didn't come looking for you because I wanted to talk about how to deal with that youth."

"Oh? I wonder if there is anything else I can trouble you with. "

"Mount Li Sword Sect, I assume that you are this young master Ren Yan Xianzi. I want to know whether this matter is the attitude of your Mount Li Sect, or your Missing Moon Tower? "

Zhuo smiled lightly with much helplessness.

"Is that important?"

"It's important!"

"The Missing Moon Restaurant is said to be the number one faction in the martial arts world. However, its interior is too messy, and it will never be able to produce a single sound."

Qing Shiyu understood that since this was not the Losing Moon Pavilion's attitude, it meant that it was not enough for Wu Lin to break away from the imperial court again. Even if Chu Yannan wanted revenge, it would not be necessary for him to trample on the martial arts world. Qing Chao Yu really did not want to see another one of her lives ruined. Although she did have hatred for Chu Huainan and the Northwest, she did not want her senior brother Tan Zi Gui to scold her from the sky that she was a calamity that had messed up the world. She did not care about everything except Tan Zi Gui's opinion of her, even if he had already died many years ago, he would not be able to change that.

"I just don't understand how you people of Mount Li would have the guts to do this."

However, Zhuo laughed and said, "There are always people watching, looking at what? "They are still watching the attitude of the imperial government towards the Northwest. No one would dare to take the lead. They are just scared by the current confused attitude of the imperial government towards the Northwest."

The meaning of his words was very clear. Since no one dares to take the lead, then let us, Mount Li, do it. Even if they failed in the end, they could see from this the attitude of the imperial government towards the northwest, which made those who were still watching feel reassured.

He was right about Qing Shiyu's appetite. Don't forget that when Qing Shiyu tried to assassinate Chu Huainan, she said something similar, hoping that she could arouse the resistance of those sects that Chu Huainan trampled on back then. Now that she heard these words from Yan Ying Zhuo, Qing Shiyu actually spoke falsely for a moment. Without a word, he turned around and left.

Watching Qing Shiyu leave, Zhuo took a sip of the wine. Perhaps the Grandmaster in front of him was the most simple-minded Grandmaster in the world.

On the other side, Xu Qingzhi seemed to have no sense of danger at all as he watched the battle on the stage with interest. On the arena stage were two middle-aged men, both of whom were of the fifth level. The bearded man used two gigantic axes that could split the mountains, but each move he used was like a sledgehammer.

The other person that was facing him was a slightly thin middle-aged man. His sword was flying up and down, as though it was a swimming dragon in the deep abyss. Every time Xuan Hua's heavy attack was neutralized by the thin man, the long sword would always circle around the bearded man like a viper, looking for an opening, causing the rough man to scream out loud in panic.

"Your Lordship, look at the two below. I wonder who Your Lordship thinks will be the victor."

My great-grandfather, how could he have the time to watch a fight like this today? Although Li Shen's expression was calm, there was not a single ripple on his face, but he was actually very anxious. Truthfully, he hadn't expected that there would be so many people in the Martial Competition this time. Not to mention the group of nobles and gentry in the stands, even the area around the ring was impassable. Although Li Shen had arranged many experts to keep an eye on these martial artists in the open and in the dark, he didn't think that Li Shen's men would be able to find any hidden traps. Therefore, Li Shen did not let down his guard at all times.

"En..." I see that this sword technique is not as superb as that rough guy's, but it should be because he has a higher chance of winning. "

"Oh? He hadn't thought that the duke would also know quite a bit about martial arts of the Jianghu. "But this time Master Hou is probably wrong. I can see that this double-ax man has been slashing and slashing the entire time, but that man with the sword used all his techniques to barely block it. It seems like this double-axe man hasn't used his full strength for some reason."

Speaking of this, Li Shen was somewhat interested. From the looks of the situation, the middle-aged man was the one pressing down the rough guy with his sword. If he had any reservations, he would have used it a long time ago.

As long as one was able to jump above the mortal rank and reach the fifth rank, which one of them didn't have some fancy moves. How could they just go straight to the point?

Just as he was thinking, the situation on the field suddenly changed.

"Skinny, this sword of yours is annoying me. I don't want to hurt anyone, but like this, I'm going to lose. I don't want to lose. Skinny, be careful."

On the other hand, Xuan Hua's axe suddenly became light and graceful. It was no longer used directly as a hammer, and its speed was not any slower than the thin man's Wandering Dragon Sword.

"You little rascal, pick your teeth!"

"Ear Gouger!"

"I'll chop your head off!"

With three consecutive blows, each one was faster than the last. The lean man was unable to defend against each blow. He barely managed to receive the two axes, but the final axe was like a mountain that was being cleaved in half. The man's scalp went numb just from its aura alone.

However, just as he blocked the second move, the third axe came crashing down on him. He had no time to defend against it, and its momentum was like thunder, so he had no way of dodging it.

Just when the man thought that he was about to die miserably on the spot, the axe suddenly moved up strangely, forcefully stopping the momentum. Soon after, he felt a warm feeling spread through his body.

"Pfft!"

The rough man forcefully stopped his movement and stopped his attack. Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

"You …"

"Me …" Promise me, Mother, that you won't kill anyone in a fight, or else … "My mother will definitely climb up from the ground to hit me."

The rough man fell to the ground, and the thin man naturally became the winner of the match.

"Ah?" He won? Look at your highness, I told you that the swordsman would win. "

Li Chen hadn't noticed the process until the referee announced the result. Xu Qingzhi could only bitterly shake his head. In his heart, however, he felt a little more respect for that rough man. Xu Qingzhi was very happy. This was what he thought the martial arts world should look like. It was not about scheming and scheming, but about the chivalry and the love and hatred between them.

As for the thin man, he was also explaining to the referee. The referee also knew that, but the rule was the rule, and the rough man who vomited blood and fell to the ground was the truth, so that was his choice. Since he was determined not to kill the man, it meant that he had chosen to lose.

The middle-aged man didn't want to compete anymore. He carried the rough man off the stage, and estimated that after today, the two of them would become brothers.

After Xu Qingzhi had become the Crown Prince Huai's son, the martial artists in the martial world had either been assassinated in a sinister and devious manner, or they had been exiled from the mortal world.

Xu Qing suddenly felt that this sort of martial arts world was truly very good. Was it the appearance he had yearned for when he was just a commoner youth in a small town? As his mind drifted, Xu Qing stood up.

He did not care about the astonishment of Li Shen and his group as he only saw Li Tongxuan's energetic appearance.

Little guy, this is what you call a martial arts world, isn't it?

"The Crown Prince Xu Qingzhi, seeing the heroic men of Longxi today, with a warm heart and a respectful heart, especially wished to see the heroic men of Longxi!"

Astonishment. Not only Li Chen, but even Yan Bu Zhuo who was watching from the shadows was shocked to the point that the wine cup in his hand fell.

"Stupid to the extreme!"

This was Yan Bu Zhuo's view of Xu Qing. Where was this place? In the martial competition of the martial arts world, who were these people? Most of them were martial artists. One had to know that how many people in the martial arts world hated Chu Huainan to the extreme, even in the four Northern Regions, there were still people. If everyone admitted their identities like this, wouldn't it be telling everyone that they were the son of your enemy?

Xu Qingzhi took in the astonishment of the crowd, but his expression did not change in the slightest. He calmly stood on the stage and surveyed the crowd.

"Shouldn't the martial arts world be like this? At this moment, I am in the martial arts world, and I am not the son of the prince. "Since when have we, the northwest martial artists, been so cautious?"

"Xu Qingzhi from the Liang Prefecture requests for battle!"

A billowing sword intent swept out. The sword energy swam about like a dragon!
