Ji Wuchang frowned as he looked at the pitch-black object in his hand..

This item was placed in the deepest part of the storage ring by Xiang Daoming and contained in a beautiful box..

However, Ji Wuchang couldn't tell what it was after examining it for a long time!

Yaoyao, do you recognize this thing?"

" This item is called the Black Underworld Stone. It's very useful to those who cultivate dark attribute techniques! However, it's useless to you!"

Ji Yaoyao's words rang in Ji Wuchang's ears, causing him to nod and put it away!

Ji Wuchang flicked his finger and a fireball appeared, burning the two of them clean. Then, his body swayed and he left!

Ten days later, Ji Wuchang had arrived at the gate of Shu Jiu City, which was also his destination!

[System, sign in!]

Ding! The West Gate of Shu Jiu City has been successfully signed. Reward: three years of cultivation! Luck points +3.

】

Ji Wuchang almost burst into tears when he felt the enormous power that surged out of his body..

In the past few days, when he signed in outside, without exception, he had received luck points +1. After ten days, he had obtained more than ten luck points. This time, he finally had a chance to cultivate!

Ji Wuchang quickly circulated Purple Qi Burning Sky Mantra to guide the spiritual energy in his body. A part of it entered his Dantian to replenish the consumption of traveling..

The other part is to introduce the four limbs and bones to continue to temper the body!

The gate of Shu Nine Cities was much higher than Muye City, and the population was even denser. Ji Wuchang stepped into the bustling crowd..

At this moment, everyone's faces were filled with deep worry!

There were three great clans in the Nine Cities of Shu: Meng Clan, Cui Clan, and Zhou Clan!

The three great clans all had Foundation Establishment realm experts guarding them. Among them, the current head of the Meng clan, Old Master Meng Nian, had the highest cultivation, sixth level Foundation Establishment realm!

The heads of the Cui family and Zhou family were both at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment realm!

In previous years, the three families had gotten along quite well. Although friction could not be avoided, triangles were the most stable!

However, not long ago, the Cui family and Zhou family announced that Cui Luochen, the young master of the Cui family, was going to be engaged to Zhou Jinyi, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family head!

As soon as this news spread, the atmosphere in the entire Shu Nine Cities would be different..

The marriage between the Cui and Zhou families was not only a marriage, but also a union of the two families!

Moreover, Cui Luochen's talent was extraordinary. He had already become a disciple of an elder of the Green Sparrow Sect!

Just a few days ago, Cui Luochen had returned to the first level of the Foundation Establishment realm and opened up five Dao Platforms. He was highly valued by the Green Sparrow Sect!

As a result, the Meng family was embarrassed..

Not long ago, the Cui family proposed to hold a competition for young disciples in the Nine Cities of Shu, which was approved by the Zhou family..

This wasn't a competition. It was a battle for Cui Luochen's fame organized by the Cui family. It was to completely establish the Cui family's position in the Nine Cities of Shu!

Many families attached to the two families also expressed their agreement. In the end, the Meng family could not express their views..

However, among the younger generation of the Meng family, the highest cultivation was only at the eighth qi layer. It was impossible for him to be Cui Luochen's match!

If that was all, Zhou Jinyi of the Zhou family was also extraordinary. He had joined the Sky Cloud Sect and was now at the ninth qi layer!

Things are far more than that. An expert has also appeared in the Liu family, which is attached to Cui family.

His name was Liu Muchuan, and he joined Green Sparrow Sect at the same time as Cui Luochen. He was also at the ninth level of Qi Refinement Realm!

：.

[If there is no external help in this competition, the Meng family will be defeated. The best result is to obtain fourth place!]

If that was really the case, the Meng family's reputation over the past few hundred years would be destroyed, and the consequences would be unimaginable..

Helpless, Meng Nian, the head of the Meng family, could only crush the jade slip belonging to the ancestor Meng Caihong and ask Meng Caihong for help..

They knew very well that the ancestor would definitely not come, but he would probably arrange for one or two disciples to come and take a look. That was enough!

" Patriarch, the Cui family has gone too far. They actually asked each of us to take out a mine as the reward for first place. Isn't this clearly bullying us?"

The one who spoke was Meng Yunqian, the Meng family's first elder. His cultivation was at the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment realm!

" That's right, father. We must not agree to this condition of the Cui family. After all, a mine accounts for almost one-third of our Meng family's income!"

Meng Yucheng opened his mouth, his face full of anger!

Meng Yucheng was Meng Nian's eldest son, and he was also at the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment realm. He had already been confirmed as the successor to the Meng family's next head!

Following that, several elders of the Meng family spoke up, and all of them had objections..

From this, it could be seen that no one in the Meng family was optimistic about this competition. They all believed that the Meng family would lose without a doubt!

Meng Nian calmly looked at the Meng family below, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes..

The Meng family had been living too comfortably these years, and the Meng family's disciples were even more extravagant and extravagant. There were very few people who really cultivated diligently..

In Meng Nian's opinion, this is more terrifying than losing a mine, because if this goes on, the family will sooner or later go to extinction..

If not for the fact that both the Cui and Zhou families knew that there was still one elder in the Meng family who served as an elder in Longevity Sect, the Meng family might have been destroyed by them long ago..

However, the Cui family had the Green Sparrow Sect behind them, and the Zhou family had the Sky Cloud Sect. Although their status was not as high as an elder, they no longer feared the Meng family!

Although they couldn't destroy the Meng family directly, they could gradually suppress and nibble away at it. This competition was actually just a test!

If Longevity Sect had someone to support Meng Clan, both clans would restrain themselves..

At this moment, a woman walked in slowly. Her eyes were extremely bright, and she had the cultivation of the eighth qi layer..

She was Meng Yucheng's daughter, Meng Zhiyi. She was at the eighth qi layer!

Grandfather, I won't lose to Zhou Jinyi!"

Meng Zhiyi's eyes revealed a trace of stubbornness, and at the same time, there was endless fighting spirit!

" Zhiyi, don't mess around! So what if you beat Zhou Jinyi? Can you beat Cui Luochen? He's in the Foundation Establishment realm!"

" If the clan loses this competition, they will lose a mine. This is an unbearable loss for the clan!"

Meng Yucheng spoke directly..

Hearing his father's words, Meng Zhiyi couldn't help but bite her lips, but she didn't refute!

Speaking of which, Meng Zhiyi was also interested in Cui Luochen. She and Zhou Jinyi were considered love rivals, but in the end, she failed. Naturally, she was unwilling!

Meng Zhiyi didn't think that her roots were weaker than Zhou Jinyi's. Zhou Jinyi had only joined the Sky Cloud Martial School. Otherwise, how could he surpass her?

Unfortunately, the relationship between the Meng family's ancestor and the Meng family was not good. Otherwise, the Meng family would have dominated the Nine Cities of Shu long ago!

What happened to the Cui and Zhou families?

Just as Meng Nian was about to speak, a man hurried into the hall..

" Patriarch, there's a man outside the door. He says his name is Ji Wuchang. He came from Longevity Sect on Master's orders and is waiting at the door!"
