The flying boat breaks through the air and travels through the clouds!

The destination of this trip is Zhongzhou!

Zhou Tong looked around and counted carefully. There were a total of five to six hundred people. All the family members, young and old, male and female, were brought along at the same time.

"Grandpa, we are all out, what should we do if someone robs our house?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xinrou laughed.

"We moved all the valuables out of the house. Even if a mouse got in, we would have to leave two taels of meat, haha..."

Zhou Tong couldn't laugh, as he could imagine how poor they had been living in the past few years.

"Let Zhong Ningxue and I take part in this assessment!"

Zhou Tong whispered to Li Mu that the rule of the assessment was that each faction could only send out two people, and these two people were the strongest lineup.

"No, I want to attend in person!"

The old man said stubbornly, "I have been looked down upon for so many years, I must fight for my reputation. Although you are powerful, you are all new faces, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince others."

Zhou Tong looked at Li Mu. He was a powerful man at the third level of Semi-Saint, which was quite impressive. However, what the old man said was all nonsense.

He just wanted to show off!

"In that case, you and Xiaoxue can join together. It will be a good opportunity for her to gain some experience."

Zhou Tong smiled helplessly and said, the old man is very stubborn, so just go along with him if you can. Anyway, in this assessment where no saint will come out, Zhong Ningxue's strength is enough to cover the bottom line.

"I have a question."

At this moment, Zhong Ningxue suddenly spoke.

"A fight is a fight, a bet is a bet, why add the word 'assessment' to it? What exactly are you assessing?"

"Girl, you don't know..."

Li Mu trimmed his beard and smiled, "Those who are taking part in the assessment are the five major professional families in Zhongzhou, namely the weapon refining Li family, the pill refining Lin family, the formation refining Bai family, the dragon refining Zhong family, and the talisman refining You family!"

"Although the strength of these five families is not strong, they are sought after by powerful people from all sides because of their professions."

"If you can stand out in the assessment, you can prove the value of your family and win the protection of more powerful people and more investment!"

"I see."

Zhou Tong pointed his finger and said, "The so-called assessment actually means that we are being assessed by powerful people from all sides!"

"That's right!"

After hearing this, Zhou Tong fell into a brief contemplation. The You family of the Tianshi clan will also come to participate in the assessment. I wonder if the little demon girl will come?

His eyes were filled with longing, and then he shook his head.

In order to ensure the highest chance of winning the bet, all parties will send out semi-saint-level fighters. The little witch may not have reached that level yet.

"The Lian Gu Zhong family..."

After hearing this title, Zhong Ningxue couldn't help but be stunned.

Could this be a branch of the Tianlong tribe? If so, that would be great. There are still people from the tribe in the world, which can finally make her feel a little comforted.

"Oh, there is one more very important thing!"

Li Xinrou also joined the conversation, and she said, "It is said that among the forces participating in the investment this time, there is the Lingxiao Empire, and the Queen will be there in person!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong felt his head explode, and a graceful figure emerged in his mind.

"It's over!"

If others couldn't recognize him, how could Qian Miaoyu not recognize him?

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but touch his wrist.

When they parted, the Queen bit him the hardest, as if she wanted to eat him.

If she bumped into him, who knows what would happen.

"God bless you, I hope this test can be successfully concluded without my intervention."

Zhou Tong prayed to heaven for the first time.

However, before he could finish making the wish, Li Xinrou patted him on the shoulder.

"Are you feeling nervous? It's normal to feel inferior when you are about to face that guest who looks a lot like you!"

"How did you know he would come?"

Zhou Tong asked back with a smile.

"Why do you even need to ask? A guest official is supposed to accompany the Queen forever. Isn't that natural?"

Li Xinrou said as a matter of course.

"That's not necessarily true. A man of great ambition has his sights set on the world. The Queen may not be able to keep him."

"Come on, do you understand Keqing or do I understand Keqing?"

Miss Li said disdainfully, already entering into a fantasy: "If we can get the Queen's investment, then we will be able to meet with the guest officials frequently in the future. It's a pleasure to think about it!"

As she said this, the guard leader was looking at her with a sympathetic expression.

"Poor young lady, you know nothing about disguise!"

…

Before they knew it, a day and a night had passed by in the flying boat. At noon the next day, everyone could see a towering city in the distance.

"Look, it's Jianxiong City. That's our destination!"

Li Xinrou said excitedly.

Zhou Tong's eyes flashed. Although they were still more than a hundred miles apart, he could still see through it at a glance.

There are almost no permanent residents in this city, only a huge martial arts arena that can accommodate 100,000 spectators.

However, this was not what attracted him the most. He saw the city was filled with the flags of the Lingxiao Empire, all fluttering in the wind, looking mighty!

It is not difficult to see that in this gambling assessment, Lingxiao Empire occupies a very important position and is very likely the largest investor!

"That woman..."

Zhou Tong murmured, it seems that Qian Miaoyu really wants to be not only the queen of the empire, but also the queen of the world!

As long as she can become the biggest financial backer of the five major professional families, she will immediately be able to obtain a very high position in Zhongzhou. As for capital...the last thing she lacks is capital!

In half an incense stick's time, the airship crossed a distance of a hundred miles and stopped at the city gate.

When Li Mu led the crowd out, he immediately attracted the attention of people around him.

"Which family is this? Why did they bring so many people with them? They can't be spectators, right?"

"I recognize them, they are from the Mu family, hahaha..."

The mocking voices immediately made Li Mu and the others look gloomy.

The character "Li" without the character "zi" means "wood", which was a curse that they would have no children or descendants. It was also a title they never wanted to mention.

"We are the Lee family!"

The old man emphasized through gritted teeth.

"What Li family! Stop flattering yourself, you are the Mu family! The Mu family! Hahahaha..."

The person who spoke was a mean-spirited thin man. He said, "You all may not know that they are the scourge of the Li family. They were expelled from the Li family because they gave birth to the calamity star!"

"I advise everyone to stay away from them if you don't want to be unlucky. They are disaster stars. Hundreds of people have died in the past ten years!"

Hearing this, the people around him all dispersed, their eyes filled with disgust.

"Lin family's running dog!"

Li Xinrou cursed, but she couldn't take action here, otherwise she would be disqualified from the assessment.

"Is it the Liandan Lin family that is taking part in the assessment? Why are they doing this?"

Zhou Tong asked with cold eyes.

"The mistress of the Zhongzhou Li family is Lin Ruoxi!"

"Now I understand. They are actually relatives of mine!"

Zhou Tong couldn't help but laugh, and his pupils flashed instantly when he looked at that man!

This time, it won't be just the beginning!
