Originally, Meng Zhang was not optimistic about Han Yao’s fight against the demon cultivators of the Dali Dynasty.
Because the Dali Dynasty had a deep collusion with the demon cultivators, the demon cultivators had deep-rooted influence both inside and outside the court.
But now it seems that Han Yao’s influence is beyond previous expectations.
While Meng Zhang was making calculations in his mind, an old man in black, surrounded by a group of people, flew to the other side of the stand, facing Han Yao from a distance.
Meng Zhang could guess this person’s identity without the introduction of Sun Shengdu next to him.
This old man is tall, with white beard and hair, and the wrinkles on his face are almost squeezed together.
Although he looks old and decrepit, he has a calm and authoritative demeanor. There is also an indescribable edge that is constantly emanating from his body.
Based on the information Meng Zhang had, he guessed that this person was Ouyang Jian, the famous sword prince of the Dali Dynasty.
Ouyang Jian can be said to be the giant tree of the Dali Dynasty, and he is also a veteran of three dynasties who has served the imperial court for more than two thousand years.
He has extremely high prestige both inside and outside the court, and has countless supporters.
Not only does he have seniority and seniority, but his strength is also at the forefront of many monks in the Dali Dynasty.
As soon as Ouyang Jian appeared on the stand, the monks from all walks of life signaled him from a distance. Many people who thought they were qualified went to pay their respects.
Suddenly, the crowd originally surrounding Han Yao became much sparser.
As usual, this competition will be arbitrated by the Forbidden Army.
Both warring parties are Yuanshen stage monks, and they are both well-established figures. The Forbidden Army attaches great importance to this, and sent three Yuanshen True Lords as referees to prevent any accidents from happening.
After Ouyang Jian arrived, not to mention others, even the Forbidden Army, including two of the Yuanshen True Monarchs who served as arbitration, all went over to pay their respects to him.
Not to mention anything else, but looking at this scene, you can see how powerful Ouyang Jian is.
If Meng Zhang offends such a person, he will definitely have a lot of trouble in the future.
Sun Shengdu, who was originally accompanying Meng Zhang, was obviously a little restless after seeing Ouyang Jian appear. However, fortunately, although he was afraid of the other party, he still did not abandon Meng Zhang and run away immediately.
After Ouyang Jian sat down, he didn’t even look at Meng Zhang in the field, but only glanced at Han Yao opposite.
In terms of status, he was the senior prince of the Dali Dynasty, while Han Yao was just a minister of Dali Temple.
In terms of cultivation, Han Yao was not yet born when he became the Yuanshen and traveled all over the world.
Even though both sides are now monks in the late stage of Yuanshen, he thinks that his cultivation and combat experience are far superior to the other’s.
The two sides are irreconcilable political enemies. Ouyang Jian looked dismissive of Han Yao, as if he didn’t see the other party.
Han Yao also ignored Ouyang Jian’s appearance and still talked in a low voice to the monks around him.
As Gu Yuedu approached Ouyang Jian to say hello, he couldn’t help but frowned when he saw this scene.
The relationship between Ouyang Jian and Han Yao has actually gotten so bad that they don’t even do the least superficial things.
Today’s competition is probably no longer a battle of spirits between young people.
Ouyang Huajin took the initiative to confront Meng Zhang because of the rumors. As the parties involved in the rumors, the Gu Yue family was inevitably involved in this matter.
Gu Yuedu couldn’t help but start to think about whether there was anything inappropriate in what he did in this matter.
Ouyang Jian chatted with the monks who came to greet him for a while, and then went straight to the topic.
“Today, the younger generations are the protagonists. We old guys should not talk too much and delay the business between them.”
After hearing Ouyang Jian’s words, everyone left in a happy mood and returned to their seats to sit down.
Ouyang Huajin didn’t say anything more. He just stood up from behind Ouyang Jian, gave him a big salute, and then flew to the middle of the school field and made a come gesture to Meng Zhang.
The three Yuanshen True Monarchs who served as arbitration began to perform their duties.
The three of them stood in a triangle, surrounding the school grounds.
Meng Zhang also left Sun Shengdu behind and flew to the opposite side of Ouyang Joaquin alone, looking at him from afar.
One of the oldest arbitrators read out the relevant matters loudly there.
The general meaning is that this competition complied with the laws of the Dali Dynasty. Both parties participated in the competition voluntarily, regardless of life or death.
Under the supervision of the three of them, the competition can be guaranteed to be fair.
……
The man kept talking there for a long time, and after reading it out, he finally completed the procedure.
He finally shouted “start”, and the competition officially began.
Just now, Meng Zhang was not idle, but had been observing his opponent.
Ou Yanhuajin’s face was serious, and there was no frivolous or arrogant expression on his face.
He is like a taut bow, ready to be fired at any time.
Meng Zhang had a vague feeling in his heart that there seemed to be something wrong with Ouyang Huajin who stood in front of him today.
In Meng Zhang’s keen perception, the person is still the same person, but something seems to be missing.
By the way, Ouyang Joaquin has lost a lot of vitality.
Not only is he no longer as arrogant and arrogant as he was that day, but he has become very depressed, like a pool of stagnant water.
Ouyang Huajin looks like a young genius with an extraordinary background and a bright future. Instead, he looks like the kind of dying old man whose time is running out and all thoughts are lost.
If he hadn’t confirmed it with his keen spiritual sense and the Deception Eye, Meng Zhang would have doubted whether the Ouyang Joaquin opposite him was a different person.
In just a few days, it was as if his appearance had changed and he was completely different. Is there anything mysterious in this?
Meng Zhang seemed to be silent, but secretly strengthened his defense.
On the way here, Sun Shengdu told Meng Zhang.
Many people are very interested in today’s match, and some people even organized a handicap and offered odds on the outcome of the match between the two sides.
When Meng Zhang heard about this, he smiled and told Sun Shengdu that he could make some pocket money by asking him to bet on his victory.
In his words, Meng Zhang expressed his firm confidence in winning.
After hearing this, Sun Shengdu stared at Meng Zhang as if he were a fool.
I really think those who make handicap calls are fools. Since people dare to do this, at least they have no problem with mobility.
Although Meng Zhang came from Jiuqu Province, he had only arrived in Beijing not long ago. However, with the current convenience of transportation, it is enough for those who are interested to go to Jiuqu Province and collect all kinds of information about Meng Zhang.
Perhaps Meng Zhang’s most secretive things can be kept watertight, but information about Meng Zhang’s strength, record, etc. cannot be hidden from anyone.
