The atmosphere of the banquet was fiery, with people from all sides chatting in twos and threes, laughing softly, and as they downed glass after glass of fine wine, the atmosphere continued to rise gradually.

  Until a certain moment, the sound of instruments in the banquet gradually weakened, and only then did Yú Hóng Xī come to a platform, her beautiful eyes gazing at the guests from all sides.

  In the banquet hall, many eyes were also cast on that strong and radiant beautiful woman.

  "Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to celebrate my daughter's birthday."

  "Needless to say, everyone knows that today is for celebrating birthdays and also encouraging the young people from each family. So I took out several Golden Dragon Keys as tonight's party favors..."

  "This Golden Dragon Key is limited to the Xiang Shi realm, so anyone who meets the conditions can try it out. Our Jinyu Treasure Trove's 'Golden Dragon Arena' may not be the only one in the world, but it should also be considered a top-notch cultivation holy land." Yu Hongxi smiled with a hint of joy, her palm raised, and on the tip of her finger hung a golden key, shaped like a dragon, winding and twisting, with mysterious patterns engraved on its scales, emitting an extremely profound power.

  Many eyes in the field were looking at the golden key on Yu Hongxi's fingertips, and even some powerful title holders showed some interest.

  Because of the rumors, that "Golden Dragon Arena" is enormous, like a small world, so there are also levels within it. For example, this Golden Dragon Secret Key can only enter the outer layer of the Golden Dragon Arena, while these powerful Marquises are interested in deeper parts of the Golden Dragon Arena.

  However, the Golden Dragon Arena was built by the collective efforts and resources of countless people from the Golden Dragon Clan. This is the foundation of the Golden Dragon Clan, and only those who are part of it can enter to cultivate their skills. Others, unless they receive an invitation from the Golden Dragon Clan, will be unable to enter, even if they are powerful warriors with noble titles.

  "Is that the Golden Dragon Key?"

  Li Luo also looked at the Golden Dragon Secret Key in Yuhong Creek's hand with some curiosity. As for the so-called Golden Dragon Daochang, he actually didn't know much about it, but thinking that it could open up a space to form a small world, it shouldn't be simple either.

  "Jin Long Dao Chang... it's really hard to imagine, the Jin Long Bao Xing headquarters that can create a cultivation holy land of this level, is indeed a behemoth. On the side, the Empress let out a soft sigh, her expression slightly melancholic."

  Jiang Qing'e glanced at her, the Eldest Princess had an extremely strong personality, and as one of the rulers of the royal court today, in her heart, perhaps the royal court was the strongest force in Daxia, but for a special existence like Jindragon Treasure, even someone as noble as she felt a faint sense of powerlessness.

  Jiang Qing'e did not go to comfort Empress Chang, because the latter also didn't need this unnecessary consolation.

  (To be continued, please turn the page)

  Consolation.

  "It seems you're under a lot of competitive pressure." Jiang Qing'e looked at Li Luo and reminded him.

  Li Luo nodded, somewhat helplessly. According to Yu Hongxi's words, the Golden Dragon Secret Key competition was open to all who had reached the Xiang Shi realm, but for someone like him, who was only at the first stage of the Xiang Shi realm, it was clearly extremely disadvantageous. After all, no matter how abnormal he was, he wouldn't think that he could defeat Zhu Huan and Ye Qiudong, those third-stage Xiang Shi realm cultivators.

  This competition doesn't seem very fair!

  "I think the competition for the Golden Dragon Key shouldn't be about relying on brute force to snatch it." Jiang Qing'e also understood Li Luo's concern, and said with a slight pause.

  "Hmm, after all, today is Lü Qing'er's birthday banquet. If we really fight, the scene won't look too good either. So, the way of fighting should be different." The Empress Dowager smiled and said beside her.

  Li Luo nodded in agreement. Anyway, let's take a look at the situation first. If there's an opportunity, of course, we'll compete for it. But if it's really not possible, then there's no need to force it.

  On the stairs, Yú Hóng Xī continued: "This time, the Golden Dragon Key's contention is not a straightforward fight, but will take another approach."

  As she spoke, her hand rose, and a mighty force burst forth, sweeping back and forth in the spacious banquet hall. As the guests gradually dispersed, a vast empty space was finally formed in the center of the room.

  The aura formed a light screen around the empty space.

  "Inside the Golden Dragon Arena, it's not completely risk-free. During the entry process, you will encounter Qingfeng Gou, a type of whirlwind formed by violent and fierce wind attribute energy. Although the Golden Dragon Key will provide some protection for you, some whirlwinds will still invade and pose a great threat to you."

  "This time, the way to compete for the Golden Dragon Key is a simulated Green Wind Whirlwind."

  "Those who want to compete, just need to enter this area and persist in the Green Wind Ring I released until the end, then you can get the Golden Dragon Secret Key." Yu Hongxi smiled and pointed to the empty space below that was wrapped in a layer of light.

  As soon as this was said, it caused a stir among the young people who were vying for the Golden Dragon Key. They all looked shocked and surprised, clearly not expecting the Golden Dragon Key to be competed for in this way.

  The commotion lasted for a moment, and then everyone saw that the tall and majestic figure with an air of confident dominance, Zhu Xuan, was the first to walk into the scene.

  With Zhu Xuan leading the way, Yu Lai, Ye Qiudeng, Mo Ling, Wang Heliu, and Dou Zebei also stepped forward one by one.

  In a short while, there were over ten people present on the scene. Some of them were geniuses from the Sacred Xuanwu Academy.

  (To be continued, please turn the page)

  Some were young talents gathered by various forces.

  "So it was like that..."

  Li Luo's face revealed a faint smile, if it were a straightforward fight, he would indeed have a hard time competing with Zhu Xun and those third-stage cultivators, but if it were a test of endurance, then that was a different story altogether.

  Because he happened to be under Jiang Qing'e's beating these past few days, he developed the "Jian Ti" method of resisting beatings! Now, it just so happens that there is a use for it!

  On the side, Jiang Qing'e tilted her head and glanced at Li Luo, smiling lightly: "No need to thank me."

  Li Luo's mouth twitched, you big white goose are really too much, beating me for several days and still want me to thank you?

  Black-hearted!

  No longer paying attention to Jiang Qingwa, Li Luo also walked into the scene under some gazes.

  On the stairs, Lü Qing'er gazed at Li Luo walking in, her small hands quietly clenched into fists. Although her face was calm, she was secretly cheering him on.

  Yu Hongxi's eyes also swept Li Luo with a traceless gaze, and then her afterglow glanced over Lü Qing'er. Although the girl was very restrained, the old and cunning Yu Hongxi still sensed that Lü Qing'er's body had tensed up at this moment.

  It's really quite tense.

  However, Li Luo is also excellent, but he himself is only in the first stage of Xiang Shi realm. With this, wanting to compete with Zhu Huan and others who are in the third stage of Xiang Shi realm, the difficulty should still be not small.

  Li Luo walked into the scene, just in time to find Qin Zhuli standing silently beside him. He curiously asked: "You actually came to attend this kind of banquet too?"

  "Is it because of the Golden Dragon Key?"

  Qin Zhuolu looked at him and said in a low voice, "No, it was my dad who told me to participate. He said if I didn't come, he would take me to visit the brothels."

  Li Luo swallowed a mouthful of saliva, damn it, your dad is really ruthless, this is going to drive Qin Zhuo to death, is this really his own flesh and blood?

  Qin Zhuolu cast a sympathetic glance at him, and for a moment, Li Luo couldn't think of any comforting words to say.

  As many young people with extraordinary momentum entered, Yu Hongxi took out a cyan jade bottle from his sleeve. The jade bottle seemed to be engraved with extremely delicate and complex light patterns, and there was a faint sound of wind whistling out.

  "Alright everyone, let's begin."

  She gave a soft laugh, snapped her fingers, and the force swept past the mouth of the blue jade bottle. Then in an instant, everyone saw that the cyan wind suddenly poured out, facing Li Luo, Zhu Xuan and others, wrapping them in the light curtain, and rushing away.
