Martial arts long journey

Chapter 286 Deja Vu
Under the leadership of the disciple of the Famous Sword Villa, Zhou Yan arrived at a majestic square in the depths of the Famous Sword Villa within a short time.

The grand ceremony for the alternation of masters of Famous Sword Villa will be held on this square later.

In addition, this wide square is also the place where the Sword Raising Competition is held.

In the very center of this square, a tall and deep furnace stands tall and dark, with a raging indigo flame burning inside.

Inside the frighteningly hot flames in the furnace, it seemed that something was being refined. It was a three-foot-long thing, floating in the indigo flames faintly.

However, because of the complex array talismans inscribed on the surface of the tall furnace, it flashed a dazzling light, covering up the real details of the unknown item, making it impossible for people to see clearly.

Surrounding the tall furnace, there are four arenas piled up of rough boulders, on which are flashing the lights of various forbidden formations, which are obviously prepared for the forthcoming sword test meeting.

The location of these four arenas is also very particular, they are just above the four directions of the tall stove, southeast, northwest.

Behind these four arenas, there is a viewing platform made of bluestone lying on each side. The whole is vast and magnificent, and it is not a problem to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

Among them, the viewing platform above the north position is specially prepared by Mingjian Villa to entertain those top martial arts talents, such as Zhongzhou Iron Blood Guard, Hongye Merchant League, Longmen Erxianzhuang, Lanling Gaojia, Bajing Jianzong etc.

As for those small sects and warriors from casual cultivators, they could only go to the remaining three viewing stands.

At the front of the viewing platform above the northern honor seat, there is a row of tables and chairs made of precious wood and covered with silk brocade. This is specially set up by the famous sword villa to entertain Jianghu martial arts It is used by those in power among the major families and sects.

Zhou Yan raised his eyes and looked around, and he suddenly realized that almost all the people who are qualified to sit on that row of seats are powerful giants in the realm of martial arts and profound knowledge.

Among them, there is only one martial arts master at the Zhoutian realm, and that is Liu Jingyan, who had a good chat with Zhou Yan in Lingyun Tower before.

Although Liu Jingyan's martial arts cultivation was not in the Tongxuan realm, he was the fourth prince of Western Shu, and he was also the governor of Jiangyan County, so he was naturally qualified to sit in the first row.

Except for Liu Jingyan, the others are powerful giants representing major families and sects, such as Xing Qingge from Zhongzhou Tie Xuewei, Dan Qiusheng from Bajing Sword Sect, Xiang Zhuang from Erxian Village of Longmen Mansion, and so on.

Starting from the second row of seats, it is the position of juniors like Zhou Yan. The more forward the position, the more it represents your own cultivation strength and status.

Zhou Yan, as one of the young talents of the Zhongzhou Iron and Blood Guards, coupled with the ups and downs he caused a few days ago, his seat naturally belongs to the second row near the central core.

"Master Zhou, your seat is here, please follow me."

I saw that the disciple of the famous sword villa named Zhou Yan led the way with one hand, and he directly led Zhou Yan to the center core of the second column.

When Zhou Yan walked there, he found that many people were already sitting there, and many of them were acquaintances of him.

For example, sitting next to Zhou Yan's left hand is Xue Li, the young master of Longmen Erxianzhuang.

But Xue Li was sitting on his own seat leaning on his big horse with a golden knife, taking a nap with his eyes closed.

From time to time, Xue Li also ate two mouthfuls of melons and fruits placed on the table, and drank two cups of fine wine prepared by Famous Sword Villa, but he never opened his eyes.

With a laid-back and relaxed look on his face, Xue Li seemed to be joining in the fun and watching a show. He didn't even have any intention of participating in the Sword Raising Competition to make a name for himself. He showed a chic and unrestrained spirit.

On the seat next to Zhou Yan's right hand, sat Li Qianrou from the same martial arts faction as him, from the Department of Punishment of Baihua City in Zhongzhou.

From Li Qianrou to the right are Fu Zimo from Jagged City, Fan Tongfu from Panshi City, and Tu Rong from Pojun City.

Zhou Yan first nodded at Fan Tongfu and Li Qianrou, then sat down on his seat, smiled lightly and said to Xue Li beside him, "Brother Xue, you will be very relaxed and comfortable then!"

The moment Zhou Yan finished speaking, Xue Li suddenly opened his eyes and glanced over.

It wasn't until he saw clearly that the person who said it was Zhou Yan that Xue Li responded with a smile: "So it's Brother Zhou. The supernatural power that Brother Zhou showed a few days ago really opened Xue's eyes!"

While talking, Xue Li personally filled the wine glass on the table for Zhou Yan: "Brother Xue, please!"

"Where is it, it's just a little bit of trickery, and it will make you laugh, Brother Xue!"

Zhou Yan raised his glass and drank the mellow wine in one gulp, smiled modestly and said, "If Master Qing Ge hadn't come in time, I'm afraid I'd be in front of Lingyun Tower!"

"Brother Zhou's words are wrong. Not everyone can resist the weeping sword pointed by the 'Weeping Sword'. With this alone, Xue Mou feels ashamed to be inferior to you, Brother Zhou!"

Xue Li slowly put down the wine glass in his hand, and said aloud with eyes full of admiration.

"Brother Xue praised it!"

Zhou Yan chuckled and said, this time he didn't agree or deny it. After all, in this martial arts world where strength is the most important thing, one is one, and two is two. Excessive modesty becomes hypocrisy.

"Stop talking about this, come, brother Xue please!"

While Zhou Yan was chatting with Xue Li, another group of people slowly crossed the wide square and rushed over to where Zhou Yan and the others were.

Slowly raising his eyes, Zhou Yan's attention was immediately attracted by the group of people.

It was a group of warriors dressed in Qi country costumes. Their martial arts cultivation levels were different, but most of them were within the three realms of the real gang.

The leader is the one with the strongest martial arts cultivation among them, a martial arts master at the peak of Zhou Tian's realm, but what attracts Zhou Yan's attention the most is the weapon in the leader's arms.

Zhou Yan was very familiar with the leader's weapon, because it was the slender long sword unique to the Bajing Sword Sect.

In addition, Zhou Yan also felt a vague sense of familiarity with that person's appearance, as if he had met him before, but Zhou Yan couldn't recall it for the time being.
