Wangdu Square.

The largest square in Zhongcheng District is also one of the largest squares in the entire capital, located in front of the palace.

The entire square is beautifully framed. Each floor is paved with smooth and flat marble slabs. Various statues carved from precious white jade are dotted in every part of the square. The trees and flowers carefully maintained by the gardener have different shapes and are full of artistic colors. The most eye-catching is on one side of the Wangdu Square, a huge open-air platform that looks like a port.

At this moment, on the side of this platform, there were already many middle-aged men wearing noble clothes waiting there. Below, there were teams of elite swordsmen standing around the platform, maintaining the order of the platform. It is not difficult to see from the outfits of these swordsmen that these people are the royal guards used by the royal family.

There are less than a thousand people in this imperial guard, but each of these thousand people has at least the strength of a formal swordsman. Every team leader and squadron leader is a high-level swordsman, even a great swordsman, an imperial guard commander, deputy commander, and each one is a master at the level of swordsman masters.

They are the strongest guards in the royal family, equivalent to the royal army, representing the face of the royal family. With these royal guards appearing here, it means that there are royal members on the platform.

Looking carefully above the platform, a man who looked twenty-seven or eight years old was surrounded by various noble stars and moons, highlighting his identity as the main one. It is not difficult to guess that this person is the target that these royal guards want to protect.

"Marquis Shen Mingxin, haven't arrived yet?"

The luxuriously dressed and extraordinary man asked, his eyes looking at the sky from time to time.

"Haha, Your Highness, don't worry. According to the news we have received, the Wind God ship of the Divine Selected Swordsman Academy has entered the scope of our Taixuan Kingdom and will soon appear in the capital. It will not take much time."

The reply was a middle-aged man in his forties.

If some people who know the power of the royal capital are extremely familiar with here, they can identify this person here. This person is the ruler of the Shen family, the leader of the Shen family, and Shen Mingxin.

Shen Chongyang, who is extremely famous among the senior swordsman students of Xuanzhong, is a member of the Shen family.

The man known as His Highness the Prince nodded and looked faintly at another direction in the square not far away...

There, it also attracted the attention and interest of many young warriors and swordsmen.

"If your Highness thinks that those people have affected our major events in receiving the Assessment staff of the God-Selected Swordsman Academy, I might as well ask someone to order them to move a place."

"No need for this. The Scarlet Sun Chamber of Commerce is one of the largest large chambers of commerce in our Taixuan Kingdom. Even if it has a great influence in the entire ASEAN, Lie Dongyang, as the young owner of the Chamber of Commerce, wants to occupy an area to compete with others in the square. We still have to give this face."

Shen Mingxin chuckled: "Your Highness the Prince is open to all rivers and has a broad mind. We admire him."

He said just now that the Scarlet Sun Chamber of Commerce was deeply rooted in the Taixuan Kingdom, unless His Majesty the King personally gave the order, he, a marquis, wanted to take action against the Scarlet Sun Chamber of Commerce, which was really not enough.

"Lie Dongyang is our Taixuan No. 1 swordsman, and he is going to compete with a newly promoted genius swordsman in our Taixuan Kingdom. This scene can make the assessors of the Shenxuan Swordsman Academy take a look and let them understand that our Taixuan Kingdom's swordsman Feng is prosperous, and in the future, the number of places to be genius swordsmen in the Taixuan Kingdom can be relaxed a little more."

"What the prince said is very true."

Shen Mingxin responded.

There were some minor frictions between the Shen family and the Scarlet Sun Chamber of Commerce, but they did not dare to make a big fuss about such matters that were related to the face of the kingdom.

...

At this moment, on the other side of the square, the duel platform needed by Lie Dongyang has been built in less than an hour under the auspices of the Scarlet Sun Chamber of Commerce. Lie Dongyang, one of the protagonists of today's duel, has already stood on the duel arena and quietly waited for the arrival of the royal court.

On the side of the duel stand, all the young swordsmen, nobles, and swordsman masters who were interested in this battle gathered in the duel stand.

These people have different identities. Some are just civilian swordsmen who yearn for the realm of swordsmanship, some are jazz who have already established merits on the battlefield, some are swordsman master-level powerful men who have achieved nobles, and some juniors from noble families with profound backgrounds.

Many of these people are heroes of the capital, and some are talented swordsmen who came from all over the kingdom to participate in the election of the God-Selected Swordsman Academy. Some of them can be identified even if the royal court is here.

Vice President Beige, Vice President Dong Qi, Shen Chongyang, his young master of the Shen family, and his follower Fang Zhan, Hai Ming, the Hai family guards commanded Hai Ming, the current head of the Hai family, Jin Hai Liner, the daughter of Earl of Hai Nuo, the fourth disciple of Dean Shang Ming, Ye Congyun, the fifth disciple, Jing Feng, the kingdom's baron Tang Zheng, Chang Dingfeng, one of the three nickname swords, Fang Qianhua's disciple Zhou Tianchi, and Lynch who was hidden in the crowd and was not with Fang Qianhua...

As Lie Dongyang's fiancée, it is natural that Hai Lin'er is present. As for Earl Hainuo who was present in person, in addition to giving Lie Dongyang a certain support, he also hopes to see if he can get in touch with the assessors of the Shenxuan Swordsman Academy nearby.

As for Vice President Beige and others, they naturally sent the genius swordsmen selected from Xuanzhong Advanced Swordsman Academy and planned to recommend them to the Shenxuan Swordsman Academy. However, they did not have the qualifications to welcome the legendary swordsmen of the Shenxuan Swordsman Academy. Now they can only wait on the edge of the square, and also watch the duel in front of them, which is said to be the battle for the title of Taixuan No. 1 swordsman.

In short, during this day, the duel between Lie Dongyang and Wang Ting has not officially begun, and the wind god ship of the Shenxuan Swordsman Academy has not officially arrived yet. The entire royal capital square has become completely lively. All the great gods who are rare on weekdays have appeared one after another, looking forward to these two extraordinary events for the entire Taixuan Kingdom swordsmanship.

...

"Have that royal court not appeared yet?"

In the distance of the square, an old man asked in an excellent carriage.

"Master, the royal court is still in the courtyard of the hotel tomorrow and has not appeared yet. According to the information we have received, the royal court seems to have been in a devilish way by practicing a certain swordsmanship. It didn't move two days ago. I think it's all dead..."

On the carriage, a man slightly older than Lie Dongyang responded respectfully.

"How could an opponent who can make your junior brother treat him so carefully? He would die easily?"

The old man said lightly, revealing a sense of majesty without anger in his words and deeds.

This old man is no other person, he is the first sword master and the largest sword master in the entire Taixuan Kingdom. He is also the number one master in the entire Taixuan Kingdom. He is known as the closest sword master to the sword saint - Zhou Yan.

"What Master said is right, but that Wangting was less than eighteen years old after all, and he was too young..."

"Dongyang told me that this person is young? For geniuses like them, their time of wisdom is far beyond your imagination, and age is completely unfair to them."

The old man said, with faint divine lights in his eyes: "Go and find out again and see how much swordsman has practiced this genius swordsman. This battle has attracted too many people's attention and no mistakes are allowed."

“Yes, Master.”
