Chapter 70: Big change is coming

After the guard brought Ye Fan and others to a rest table, they left alone. It is still early at this moment, and I can only wait for the official opening of the Four Cities Assembly with peace of mind.
People from the four major families have all come to Qi, the Ye family is in the south, the Chen family is in the north, the Huang family is in the west, and the relatively powerful Bai family is in the east. The division of this position has always been the same.
Ye Fan lifted his eyes and finally caught a few figures he knew well in the vast crowds. Huang Chi, who was once impeccable, and Chen Gaoyang, who was quite brotherhood, were all in their respective families with solemn faces. Waiting for the start of the Four Cities Assembly.
In the Bai family's position, Ye Fan did not find the one he would kill. On the contrary, a mysterious young man wearing a hat and coarse cloth attracted his attention.
This person is most likely Ye Meng, but with his old personality, such a beautiful moment, it will certainly not be so low-key.
Two hours later, the sun was in the sky, and under the scorching sun, the martial arts field was a lot quieter. Many people with status and status in the Northern Territory were seated, looking at the center of the martial arts field.
Behind the largest battle platform in the center of the martial arts field, there is a more majestic and magnificent high platform. The high platform rises from the ground and connects with the mountain peaks as a whole.
At this moment, on the high platform, a middle-aged man of forty to fifty years old is standing. This man has a majestic complexion and a tall body. Although he is standing still, it is daunting. Many people look at him with full of eyes. The color of reverence, because this person is the famous Northern Territory Chu Tiange.
Finally, Chu Tiange seemed to see that the time had come. He raised his foot and took two steps forward, and said loudly: "Welcome you to the top of the mountains, this four-city rally will still be hosted by someone from Chu. You should have no opinion!"
After that, the middle-aged man turned his gaze around and seemed to be asking the opinions of the four major families.
"Lord Chu is in charge, of course I won’t have any opinions!" The Bai family took the lead in expressing their position. The speaker was a middle-aged man with a moustache at the corner of his mouth. He was instinctive and cunning. The current owner of the family, Bai Qiuyuan, is Bai Qiuyan's biological elder brother.
"I have no objection to the Huang family!" Huang Xinghe, the owner of the Huang family, is also a middle-aged person. It seems that he was still relatively young last year and looked quite similar to Huang Chi, with a smile on his mouth and not much authority.
"The Chen family, no objection!" Chen Yong, the head of the Chen family, had a very ugly face, and he only replied coldly to Chu Tiange's inquiry.
Finally, it was Ye Family's turn, but the speaker was not Ye Feiyang, who had just taken the post of Ye Family Patriarch, but Old Bai.
"The Ye family doesn't have any comments, please let Lord Chu start right now!"
After hearing the unified reply of the four major families, Chu Tiange nodded with satisfaction, and smiled indifferently: "I asked someone from Chu to come over today. In addition to discussing the situation in the Northern Territory and digging for talents in the Northern Territory, there is another important thing. The matter must be announced. This is a new order issued by the Central Imperial City."
There is no voice from the people below, quietly listening to Chu Tiange's text, Northern Territory's doctrine has not changed for decades, it is inevitable that the situation will change drastically this time!
"As everyone knows, the Northern Territory has always been the most backward area of ​​the Xuantian Dynasty. Here, there are few strong people returning to the Yuan realm, and there are very few strong ones who guard the first realm. It seems legendary, but the Xuantian Dynasty did not give up on us. , There will be several major forces coming, recruiting the outstanding talents of the Northern Territory, when the Qianlong ascends to the sky, it will be the best time for you to rise." Chu Tiange said impassionedly.
"This... is this true?" When everyone below heard this, they could hardly believe their ears.
The Xuantian Dynasty was prosperous, and the martial arts practice was extremely prosperous. The Northern Territory, which had always been at the very end, was an alien. At this moment, the dynasty finally had to take action to rectify the Northern Territory.
However, I was surprised to be surprised. When I heard this, the four big families were not very happy. With such a big change, the situation in the Northern Territory will definitely change. By then, the era of four feet is about to pass.
"Of course, the dynasty was not selfless in doing this. Starting today, the taxation of the Northern Territory has tripled, and the four major families have doubled the payment. There can be no exceptions!" Chu Tiange obviously slapped the candy, but He is smarter and only beats the sugar.
Everyone was still stunned by the change just now, and there was no time to react to this sudden bad news.
"Lord Chu, my Ye family is remote and located in the poor land of the Northern Territory. I have always paid no taxes. Isn't it this time..." Elder Bai trembled and quickly reacted and protested.
"I said that there is no special case this time. Moreover, the development of Sunset City is not worse than that of the other three cities. The Ye family pays taxes, it is inevitable!" Chu Tiange is extremely tough, and the lord's breath tends to be revealed, making the presence present. Everyone was secretly surprised.
"You..." Elder Bai stuck a sentence in his throat, looking at Chu Tiange, who was not angry and mighty, and felt a little bit of fear.
People who can convince the strong who defend one realm are naturally terrifying. If it weren't for the elders that have accumulated for many years behind the four major families, this northern region would have been completely unified by Chu Tiange.
Chu Tiange glanced at the Patriarchs of the four races who were all flushed around him, his tyrannical aura suddenly disappeared, and smiled mysteriously: "I can understand everyone's thoughts, so this competition has to be changed. One is exempt from paying taxes, while the last one is for the first one. Everyone speaks based on their strength."
"Then what if you can't even get the quota?" Huang Xinghe, the head of the Huang family, asked subconsciously.
"Haha, in the four-city rally competition, the four big families have always been among the best, how can it be said that they will not get the spot!" Chu Tiange shook his head and smiled lightly.
"That said, let's get started, don't waste any more time!" Bai Qiuyuan echoed from the side. This time the Bai family has undergone a major change, and the elder Taishang has died. He came here with sufficient preparations. The quota for tax exemption is guaranteed!
As for the casual cultivators where Ye Fan was, even if they were geniuses, they would not be regarded by the four major families.
Chu Tiange nodded, and then announced: "Competition and competition are now officially started. On the stage of life and death, regardless of life or death, if you lose, you can beg for mercy!"
The previous competitions and competitions will not hurt your life, but this time it is about taxes. Chu Tiange knows that the four major clans will work hard, so they simply live or die.
"Wow!" The bottom is completely boiling, and the voice is not weaker than when Chu Tiange announced the new regulations of the Northern Territory. After all, the biggest highlight of the entire four-city gathering is this, and under the pressure of the new regulations, this time the generals More exciting than any one.
"Let's go!" A guard walked in front of the eight Ye Fans and led them to the central high platform. At the same time, the four major families also sent two young talents.
Needless to say, the Ye family was naturally prepared for Ye Linglong and Ye Lishou, and the same man and woman walked out of the Bai family. The man was the young man in the hat that Ye Fan had been paying attention to, and the woman was plump with a light veil on her face. Vaguely revealing the charming attitude, it seems that Ye Linglong, who is beautiful and incomparable, wins glory.
The Huang family walked out of two young people. There was no Huang Chi among them, but one of them had some imagination.
The Chen family, under the sign of Chen Yong's indifferent eyes, also walked out of the two young people, but Ye Fan had never seen them. At the same time, two frosty, glamorous women in black costumes walked out from under the platform and slowly stood in front of Ye Fan and the others.
"What a beautiful pair of twins, it's a pity that it's too cold!" Seeing these two women who look exactly the same, Cheng Da's eyes flashed lustfully.
These two are geniuses personally cultivated by Chu Tiange in Yanling Pavilion. They will also compete with them in the competition this time. Few people present have the courage to move the lord.
"Well, all the young talents are already in place. The list of 18 people is already here. Now they are selected in random order!" At this moment, Chu Tiange has retired and replaced it with an old man who looks like a housekeeper. On the front end, he was the person Chu Tiange sent to host the conference.
At this moment, there was a small box in front of him with a mouthful on it. It was obvious that he planned to draw lots.
While talking, the old man had already put his hand into the box and took out two wooden sticks at will.
The old man glanced at the wooden sign, and then announced: "The first pair, Liu Yue and Huang Xing!"
After saying that, the mysterious woman in Ye Fan’s casual repair team slowly walked to the first battle arena, and the young man who looked quite alike from the Huang family and Huang Chi also walked out at the same time, and met Liu under the battle. The two men looked at each other coldly.
"Unexpectedly, the first pair would be Sanxiu vs. the four big families. It's really unlucky!" There was a sigh of relief around them. In their opinion, Sanxiu wanted to advance, unless they were fighting against Sanxiu and wanted to fight against the four big families with profound background. In comparison, it is simply impossible.
"The second pair, Fu Yu is worried about Ye Li!" The old man drew out two more wooden sticks and announced.
As soon as Ye Lichou heard this, a smile of disdain suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"The third pair, Guo Chengyu is to Chu Qing!"
When the old man reported to Chuqing, one of the twin beauties representing Yanling Pavilion came out and stood autonomously under the third platform.
"Fourth pair, Li Xiang to Huang Tianyou!"
There are five battle platforms, but the most broad and conspicuous central battle platform will only be used in the final duel, so when the old man selects four pairs, the game will start first.
"Please step on the battlefield, and the competition will start in ten seconds!" The old man said calmly.
"This is simply too unfair. They are all casual cultivators against the children of the four major families. There is no comparison at all!"
"Yes, it's not a deliberate cheating, right? It doesn't give any chance for casual cultivators!" After the four groups of players appeared, there was a voice of dissatisfaction around him, and Ye Fan in the casual cultivator team also frowned slightly. The disciples of the four major families are stronger than the other, and they are also equipped with family martial arts. On the other hand, in casual cultivation, although they are also eight-fold strength, they are not much worse in terms of foundation.
Of course, there is also another reason for the dissatisfaction around, such a one-sided battle is simply not visible.
Even in Ye Fan's eyes, the result of the enemy was already clear.
"Swipe!"
The battles of these four groups were almost completed in an instant. Except for Liu Yue, who had the initial stage of the Ninth Layer, all the other three casual practitioners were instantly knocked off the battlefield, without even taking a single move.
"Bang!" Huang Xing, as a child of the four big families, was also hit off the battlefield with one move. This scene made the Huang Family's face lost, and Liu Yue was also regarded as a loose repairer to save a little face.
"I can't beat even casual repairs, it's really useless!" The smile on the face of the Huang Family Patriarch was instantly put away, and he cursed at Huang Chi who had failed.
Huang Chi is a powerhouse in the mid-eighth stage, even if he has a fighting power against the casual repair of the eighth peak, he definitely did not expect to be defeated.
As a result, the Huang family is already at a disadvantage compared to the other three families. Once it gets the last place, the tax will not be covered by that time.
"Father, the eldest brother is not careful either. There is still Brother Tianyou. With his strength, he will definitely be able to advance to the top three!" Huang Chi admonished from the side. Now all the hopes of the Huang family are already in the Taishang elder disciple Huang. God's body.
"Hmph, your little sister Huang Xuan is still alive and dead. Both of your brothers are useless things!" Instead of venting his breath, Huang Xinghe gave Huang Chi a pause. Two sons were born, but they weren't good. No matter how good the temper, Huang Xinghe couldn't help getting angry.
Huang Chi lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and couldn't say a word. He had already prepared the conditions that Ye Fan put forward, but he couldn't help it if he couldn't see Ye Fan's people.
"The first pair of red bronze is against Cheng Da!" At this moment, the old man on the high platform began to draw lots again and called Ye Fan's name in one go.
"They are actually two casual cultivators, and they are finally a bit worth seeing!"
"Yes, it is said that this red copper is a dark horse that suddenly appeared, acting harshly. Originally, there was no such person among the young people in the Northern Territory."
"Cheng Da is a genius child of the Cheng family in the Sky Demon Town. He is not much worse than the four big families, and he acts equally harsh. If this red copper does not admit defeat, he will undoubtedly die."
In an instant, there was a frantic discussion around, but it was very unified, everyone was not optimistic about Ye Fan, and even many people thought that Ye Fan would be pinched to death by Cheng Da.
