The First Saint of Dan Dao

The next day, the rooster crowed, and before the sun rose completely, Mr. Tang got up early and stood outside the gate.

This is the seventh day that Mr. Tang has been like this.

The weather was already late autumn, approaching early winter. Even Mr. Tang, who was already at the ninth level of the Xuan Rank, was wearing a cotton robe.

Time slipped away bit by bit, and Mr. Tang's hair and eyebrows were covered with dew. He was in no mood to wipe them off, but his expression became more and more anxious.

Today was the day for Yuncheng to select candidates to participate in the East Region Competition, but his grandson had not returned yet.

It's not that I'm worried that Tang Yan will miss the game, but according to the original agreement, the boy should be back. It's been two months, and there's no news. Did something unexpected happen?

For a moment, Mr. Tang felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have agreed to Tang Yan's request so hastily.

At 9:00 pm, Mo Bo walked out of the courtyard and said softly, "Master, the young master is already at the seventh level of the Yellow Rank. The second-level spirit beast is not a big threat to the young master. Even if he can't defeat it, he can still escape. Besides, the young master also said that his master will protect him secretly, and the young master will definitely come back."

"Hey, it's been two whole months!" In front of his old partner Mo Bo, Mr. Tang did not hide his worries.

"Maybe the young master didn't remember the time clearly. If he doesn't come back tomorrow, we will dispatch all our elite forces to Cangyun Mountain to look for him." Mo Bo suggested.

"It can only be done this way!" Elder Tang nodded, glanced at the sky, and ordered: "The selection of participants for the East Region Competition will begin soon. Although Tang Yan is not here, we must attend this grand event. Let's go and take a look together."

The two old men, along with some followers from the Tang family, rode in a carriage towards Yuntai in the center of Yuncheng.

Yuntai, located in the center of Yuncheng, is a 2,000 square meter arena. Made of broken iron rock, it is extremely solid and can withstand a full force attack from a Heavenly Rank expert.

It is rarely opened on weekdays, and even during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the gimbal is not used.

This arena will only be opened to the public if something is particularly important or concerns the glory of Yuncheng.

At this moment, the center of Yuncheng was extremely lively. Most people in Yuncheng temporarily dropped their work and gathered here.

There were only three spots to compete for this time. And everyone in Yuncheng expected that one of them would be Liu Zhi from the Liu family, and the other would be Lin Dongxue, the daughter of the city lord.

The biggest highlight this time is the competition among the children of major families for the only remaining spot.

Qin He from the Qin family, Wu Feiming from the Wu family, and Tang Yan from the Tang family are all popular candidates in Yuncheng.

This was also the first time that Tang Yan was compared with heroes like Qin He and Wu Feiming in a formal occasion.

After all, Tang Yan's duel with Liu Zhi last time shocked everyone too much. A person of the sixth rank of the Yellow Rank could compete with a person of the ninth rank of the Yellow Rank. Such courage and strength were not something that ordinary people could achieve.

Of course, there are some other people who are also within the expectations of the people of Yuncheng, such as Qian Rulong of the Qian family, Zhao Chen of the Zhao family, and Li Xingfeng of the Li family. It is said that the strength of these people has reached the sixth level of the Yellow Rank.

By the time Mr. Tang arrived, people from the other four major families had already arrived.

As one of the four major families in Yuncheng, the Tang family's current status is also very delicate. The Tang family, which was originally ranked last among the four major families, is now listed by everyone as the only family that can compete with the Liu family.

Seeing the people from the Tang family coming, the people watching in front immediately made way for them.

Then everyone showed a puzzled look on their faces. Why didn't Tang Yan, who everyone was optimistic about, show up?

This discovery immediately spread among the crowd, and everyone's eyes kept falling on the Tang family's seats, pointing and talking from time to time.

It may be because everyone has a deep-rooted impression of Tang Yan as a dandy young man. Although Tang Yan was able to compete with Liu Zhi at that time, which was extremely amazing, what most people are discussing at this time is that Tang Yan did not dare to participate in the war.

There are also some rumors that Tang Yan’s strength is not even at the sixth level of the Yellow Rank, and that he just used some magic weapons to forcibly increase his strength last time. Now that he has used up all the magic weapons, he can no longer participate in the battle.

There are even some rumors that Tang Yan has not shown up for two months because he was seriously injured in the last duel with Liu Zhi and is now in critical condition.

Three people make a tiger. Within a quarter of an hour after the Tang family arrived, these seemingly bizarre rumors had quietly spread among the crowd, and some people actually believed them.

Seeing that most people had arrived, City Lord Lin Xiao walked onto the platform.

After scanning the area, his eyes paused for a moment at the Tang family's location, and he felt somewhat puzzled. Where on earth did Tang Yan go? The spies in the mansion had indeed not heard any news about Tang Yan for two months.

This kid seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Could it be that he is really dead as the rumors say?

But thinking of his previous interactions with Tang Yan, Lin Xiao felt it was ridiculous. Although Tang Yan looked very young, he was very mature and thorough in his work. How could such a demon-like person die so easily?

Tang Yan didn't come, and Lin Xiao couldn't wait for him. He collected his thoughts, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "In a month, it will be the Eastern Region Competition. This is a review of the younger generation among the cities in the Eastern Region, and it is also related to the honor of our Yuncheng!"

"Our Yuncheng will have three places to participate in the war. It is related to the honor of Yuncheng. We must select the best talents in Yuncheng! The heroes who are finally selected will represent Yuncheng in the war!

If you achieve outstanding results in the East Region Competition, you will not only become famous in the East Region, but also receive generous rewards. Cloud City will also be honored because of you!"

Lin Xiao's very inspiring words made the blood of some young people present begin to boil.

Representing Yuncheng and fighting for glory! Isn't this exactly what young people often fantasize about?

"The scope of this selection is not limited to high or low status, and does not ask about family background or wealth. As long as you are from my Yuncheng, as long as you have confidence in your own abilities, you can sign up to participate!"

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, many young people's eyes lit up. They had thought they had no chance to participate in the war, but they had not expected the scope of selection to be so wide.

Compared to the hustle and bustle in Yuntai, the Tang family is much quieter.

"Ah!" When Tang Yan finished refining the elixir, took a shower, changed clothes, and was about to go find his grandfather, he heard a scream.

This penetrating soprano voice really shocked Tang Yan. He glared at Xiao Cui in dissatisfaction: "What are you yelling about in broad daylight!"

"Master! Is it really you who is back?" Xiao Cui widened her eyes as if she had seen a ghost.

Hearing Xiao Cui's words, Tang Yan said unhappily: "It's only been two months since we last met, and you don't even recognize me?"
