Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 168 Rumors
Looking at the gate of Jiangling City not far away, Zhao Guang's eyes were already dead.

"I shouldn't have offended my elder brother much recently..." Zhao Guang murmured, "Except for the delay this time, I probably didn't do anything wrong..."

Li Ji saw the slight trembling of the young man's shoulders, his dark eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke.

"You did nothing wrong."

Zhao Guang didn't expect that the second brother would take the initiative to talk to him. He was slightly shocked in despair and fear, looked up at Li Ji's eternally calm eyes, and his nose was slightly sour.

"But since I didn't offend him," he murmured, "Why does Big Brother want to kill me?"

Li Ji frowned under the bronze mask, and said speechlessly, "It's just that you are asked to participate in the primary ceremony, and it's not that they send killers to kill you. Why are you acting like this?"

"Just to participate in the elementary ceremony?" Zhao Guang looked at the calm man in front of him in astonishment, and took a deep breath, "Second brother, have you read the information I collected before?"

When will his second brother realize that not all practitioners in this world are like him, disregarding their own life and death in order to become stronger.

Not all practitioners in the world are as good at fighting as he is.

Zhao Guang looked up at the cold gate of Jiangling City, as if he was looking at the entrance of hell.

Southern Chu, the primary ceremony.

Founded by Emperor Taizu and supervised by Da Si Ming Lin Shubai, the Mountain Sea Continent practice system is the most initial and important link on the way up.

Compared with barbaric growth and working behind closed doors, the elementary ceremony is often regarded as a shortcut to practice.

But in fact there is no shortcut in this world?
Zhao Guang laughed at himself.

The reason why the Beginning Ceremony can help practitioners quickly increase their ranks is that, in addition to the fact that the top-ranked individuals and countries can obtain a large amount of cultivation resources, it is because it brings together a large number of practitioners, which means that only a small amount of resources that would otherwise occur The battles of all have also gathered together.

Although cruel, Zhao Guang had to admit that the fastest way to improve his fighting ability was to fight.

Lots of fighting.

A battle between masters.

In the Taiping period, it has to be said that the existence of the elementary ceremony solved the problem that young practitioners did not have the opportunity to learn from each other.

After all, compared to traveling far away with swords and fighting with one another on the road, this kind of centralized chaos is definitely more efficient.

But that was in the era of unified peace.

Zhao Guang's eyes were heavy.

After Emperor Taizu and Da Siming passed away one after another, although the practice world did not abolish the primary ceremony for its own development, but without the deterrence of absolute power, the primary ceremony has lost its absolute order since then.

It has become a battleground for the cruel laws of nature.

"In the past few years, according to the information I collected, more and more people died in the elementary ceremony." Zhao Guang looked at Li Ji and said quietly.

The practice world is now in a delicate, or precarious balance.

The primary ceremony was held in Nanchu. As the strongest son of God and the leader of the cultivation world, Ji Mo, the national teacher of Southern Chu, would obviously maintain the order of the primary ceremony.

But Zhao Guang had a vague feeling from the information he had collected that Ji Mo, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, was different from Lin Shubai, the Commander-in-Chief.

That man may not believe in fairness, only in power.

Now that the seven countries are divided, no one knows how long the seven countries will last in this once unified continent. Every country is secretly preparing to hoard power for its own country.

Ever since the death of Chief Commander Lin Shubai, Nanchu has always been the absolute winner of the primary ceremony.

Then there are the Northern Wei and Soochow.

Weak countries are weaker, strong countries are stronger, and the former Qin Dynasty, the original overlord, suppressed whenever he could.

Of course, the victory of Southern Chu is also related to the existence of Jixia Academy in Southern Chu itself and the emergence of outstanding talents.

But for the various means used by practitioners in the competition, the examiners of the junior ceremony have been in the situation of turning a blind eye in recent years, and they are even more partial to the practitioners in Southern Chu.

The elementary ceremony is no longer the previous elementary ceremony.

Under the current chaos, the elementary ceremony is simply a dangerous Shura field for practitioners with few brushes. If it is not done well, it will become a victim, and it will become a stepping stone and a ladder for others to advance. .

Zhao Guang felt miserable that he... was probably that kind of victim.

"Second brother, you also know," Zhao Guang looked at Li Ji and said helplessly, "I'm not good at fighting at all."

He has been promoted so far because of luck, pills and the support of his brother.Zhao Guang has a very clear understanding of himself. He is cowardly and afraid of death by nature, and he is not made for fighting at all.

It's still suitable for him to be a spy.

In a war he must be the first one to run away.

Throw him to this kind of Shura field, what is the purpose of not wanting his life?
"I don't think your elder brother wants your life."

Zhao Guang originally thought that Li Ji wanted to comfort him, but when Li Ji opened his mouth, it hit him even more.

"It doesn't take so much trouble to kill you."

Li Ji looked at the silk scroll thrown to the ground by Zhao Guang, and said calmly, "After all, I have arranged a new identity for you."

What do you mean don't be so troublesome... Zhao Guang was slowed down by the head-on blow and looked at the silk book on the ground.

"Isn't your eldest brother very thoughtful?" Li Ji said blankly, "I also prepared a new identity for you as the son of the Great Sima of Soochow."

That's right, considering that Zhao Guang's original identity in Soochow was sensitive and he couldn't participate in the primary ceremony, he was specially made someone else's son.

Sure enough, his father is dead, and the eldest brother can do whatever he wants.

Zhao Guang sneered, "If the old man Tian Mao knew that I had become his son, wouldn't he die of anger?"

"Anyway, he has more than a dozen sons, not one more than you," Li Ji said indifferently, "Your elder brother has arranged well. It seems that the people who are written on it to fill the show with you will arrive soon."

And they were about to part ways.

Zhao Guang looked at Li Ji who was suddenly cold and serious, his face was full of fear of driving ducks to the shelves. Although he knew it was impossible, he still looked at Li Ji imploringly, "Second brother, can you..."

"I have my own way to go," Li Ji looked at him quietly, "Zhao Guang, no matter how you say it, it is impossible for me to accompany you to the primary ceremony."

It's always been barely on the way before, but not this time.

There are many strong people in the elementary ceremony, and there are many old monsters who will accompany the young people. If he is recognized, it will be troublesome. Li Ji doesn't want to create side effects and block his original path.

He has always followed his path of revenge.

That's right, Zhao Guang lowered his head dejectedly, Li Ji and him were no longer brothers in the family tree, and this time was the longest time they had been together.

Although Zhao Guang knew that with Li Ji's help, he might be able to survive this primary ceremony, but he didn't have enough reasons to keep Li Ji.

"Take care," Li Ji looked at the brother who met by chance, he turned around and paused before saying.

"Saving life comes first in everything."

Zhao Guang, who was bending over to pick up the silk books on the ground, was taken aback for a moment, only to hear the man who had turned around speak quietly.

"We don't lack these basic resources in Soochow."

Soochow is a place where there are many high-level practitioners, and it is also the place where middle-level ceremonies are held.

Perhaps Zhao Guang's elder brother, that man with a firm heart, only thought of Zhao Guang because he couldn't find a suitable low-level practitioner, and he didn't want to kill him.

"Your brother doesn't want you to die..."

"Second Brother..." Li Ji's words were interrupted, and Zhao Guang's startled voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Brother may not want me to die..." Zhao Guang held a piece of cloth in the interlayer of the silk book, and said in a daze.

"What's the matter with you?" Sensing the strangeness in Zhao Guang's voice, Li Ji turned around in a feeling of discomfort, only to see Zhao Guang looking at him with a complicated expression.

"Second brother, there is a piece of news in this letter from eldest brother."

If he hadn't looked carefully, Zhao Guang would have almost missed it.

"The letter mentioned a rumor that has recently arisen in the North." Zhao Guang stared into the eyes in Li Ji's mask, "but I don't know whether to tell you."

Li Ji looked at Zhao Guang's eyes, his pupils shrank slightly.

"Say."

"That rumor is..."

Zhao Guang squeezed the secret letter in his hand, took a deep breath, looked at Li Ji and said.

"Young Master has been resurrected."
