chapter 65 foreplay.

The autumn wind was bleak, and all living things were withering away. The Burning Sword City welcomed yet another autumn. Today was the beginning of the Five City Banquet. Chen Beigui stood on the Burning Sword Stage of the Burning Sword City, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

Three years ago, the Five City Banquet started in a winter rain. Chen Beigui brought three participating cultivators to participate in the competition in the Thunder City. They were met with countless cold stares and mockery. No one thought that the Burning Sword City would be worse than the past year. Even the city lords of the other four cities in the Eastern Five Cities wanted to reject the competition.

At this moment, a bitter smile hung on Chen Beigui's lips. If it wasn't for his pleas, the Five City Banquet wouldn't have been able to participate in the competition three years ago. However, when he returned to the Burning Sword City after the incident, what greeted him was countless of curses and criticisms. Under the instigation of the Luo family and Wu family, the citizens of the Burning Sword City began to denounce Chen Beigui. They thought that Chen Beigui going out to beg for help would bring shame to Burning Sword City, and that he was not fit to continue being the master of Burning Sword City.

That year, Chen Beigui experienced hell. There were a few times when he wanted to leave Burning Sword City and go somewhere else. However, he felt that he was responsible. Even though he had lost the face of the Burning Sword City, he was still the master of a city. If he escaped from the city, it would be a huge joke. Therefore, he pulled himself together and wanted to revitalize the Burning Sword City.

For the past three years, Chen Beigui had been working very hard. Everyone had witnessed what he had done. That was why the people of the Burning Sword City chose to forgive him. However, the Luo family and the Wu family had secretly allied with each other to force Chen Beigui to abdicate.

This year, the Five City Banquet had advanced. Chen Beigui felt a little emotional. He knew that the Five City Banquet would begin with the day he lost his position as the City Lord.

Chen Beigui understood the strength of the Burning Sword City very well. This year, the Five City Banquet's Burning Sword City was just a foil to their performance. He couldn't think of anyone who could represent the Burning Sword City to defend the arena. However, this wasn't the scariest part. The scariest part was that once the Five City Banquet of Burning Sword City lost, the Luo family and Wu family would once again join forces to force him to abdicate.

Chen Beigui believed that this coercion was done in front of the other four city lords. After that, the Luo and Wu families would take the opportunity to rope in the other four city lords and obtain their support. In this way, everything would become perfectly justifiable.

Cai Jingsong, the city lord of Dragon Elephant City, stood under the Burning Sword Stage. He looked at Chen Beigui with a fierce smile on his face. "Chen Beigui, although your Burning Sword City is the host of this year's Five City Banquet, the chances of you winning aren't very high."

Chen Beigui was lost in his thoughts when he was mocked by Cai Jingsong. He immediately regained his senses and looked at Cai Jingsong with a bitter smile. "Looks like City Lord Cai is very confident in taking the first place in this year's Five City Banquet."

Cai Jingsong nodded without denying it. He laughed lightly and said, "My son is the number one person in the younger generation of the five cities of the east. He has taken a fancy to your daughter. I have also sent a letter to you to propose marriage, but unfortunately, you rejected it. Although I don't understand what you want to do, I think it's not wise for you to reject me. "

Chen Beigui frowned slightly. After a while, he explained, "It's not that I'm rejecting you, but my daughter has a scandal with a young man in the city. I was afraid that it would affect the reputation of City Lord Cai in Dragon Elephant City, so I had no choice but to reject this marriage."

Cai Jingsong sneered and shook his head. "If I were you... I heard that you first betrothed your daughter to a trash from the Gai family. After that, you broke your promise and betrothed your daughter to Luo Xiangya from the Luo family. This is really unexpected. The Luo family once forced you to abdicate. But you want to marry the Luo family, and you want to get on Luo Xiangya's good side. I really don't understand this move."

Chen Beigui didn't say anything. He didn't know how to explain it. He just smiled bitterly, turned around, and left Burning Sword Stage.

Today, Chen Beigui could imagine that many cultivators in Burning Sword City would fall in Burning Sword Stage.

In front of Burning Sword Stage was the grandstand. The grandstand was already filled with many people. In the middle was the seat of the Burning Sword City, where a large number of cultivators from the Burning Sword City were gathered.

On both sides of the stands were the seats of the other four cities. There were only a few people in the seats, which made it seem extremely deserted. However, no one dared to look down on these people, because they represented a city. Their strength could be imagined.

Before the competition was a drawing ceremony, and the drawing of lots determined the attacking order of the cultivators of the four cities.

Chen Beigui held the four pieces of paper tightly in his hand. The Dragon Elephant City City Lord, Cai Jingsong, stepped forward and looked at Chen Beigui.

After that, another three people walked forward with smiles on their faces.

"City Lord Chen, shall we begin drawing lots?" Tian Yongpeng, the city lord of Thunder City, asked with a smile.

Chen Beigui had no choice but to open his tightly clenched hand, revealing the four pieces of paper.

"I still remember three years ago. That year, the Five City Banquet was in Thunder City, right? City Lord Chen promised us that the cultivators participating in the competition would have decent strength, and that they definitely wouldn't be here to join in the fun. That's why we agreed to participate in the competition in Burning Sword City, and later proved it. Indeed, the young man named Luo Xiangya is a powerful cultivator. " The City Lord of Silver Moon City, Zhuh Yuzhong, was the first to pick up a piece of paper from Chen Beigui's hand, and then he opened it. The number "three" was written on it.

"What a pity. Last year and the year before, the Five City Banquet was really... Sigh... The strongest participant in the Burning Sword City couldn't even withstand a single attack from the other cities. This year, the Burning Sword City was still the host. I think, sigh..." The city lord of Eight Direction City, Yuen Jingfei, shook his head repeatedly. He helped Chen Beigui recall the humiliation he had suffered in the past two years in the Five City Banquet's Burning Sword City.

Chen Beigui's expression was very ugly. He knew that the city lords couldn't help but scold and ridicule him during this period of time.

Cai Jingsong also picked up a piece of paper and opened it. The number on it was four. He shook his head helplessly and sighed. "Oh, my bad luck. Why am I the last one? If that's the case, how am I going to display the strength of my Dragon Elephant City in Burning Sword City?"

Cai Jingsong drew the fourth. This meant that he, the Dragon Elephant City, had drawn the fourth place. He was going to be the last challenger of each level. This sarcastic remark meant that the cultivators from the three cities in front of him could totally defeat all the defenders of Burning Sword City. They probably wouldn't even have the chance to fight.

The last two pieces of paper in Chen Beigui's hands were taken away. Tian Yongpeng of Thunder City said with a smile. "Wow, my luck is pretty good. The first challenger. We are going to pick up points, not to fight."

The remaining Eight Direction City was the second. City Lord Yuen Jingfei patted Tian Yongpeng's shoulder and said with a smile. "Aiya,brother Tian, don't finish picking up the points. Leave some for us."

"No, this won't do. This time, the victorious city will be able to hold a grand gathering. This opportunity is hard to come by in a hundred years. I won't give it to you. "

"Aiya, what a pity. I actually got third place. I can only watch the show." The Silver Moon City Lord, Zhuh Yuzhong, sighed. After that, he shook his head and left the central viewing platform.

The remaining three people exchanged glances with each other before leaving as well.

When everything was ready, Luo Xingkong and Wu Bieyun appeared in the center of the viewing platform and walked towards Chen Beigui.

Chen Beigui looked at these two men coldly. He knew that these two men were hiding from the humiliation of the four city lords. They wanted him to face all these humiliation alone and deliberately embarrass him.

"City Lord, the Five City Banquet has arrived earlier than us. It seems like our Burning Sword City will still suffer a crushing defeat this year." Luo Xingkong shook his head and said.

Wu Bieyun snorted. "Including this year, it will be three consecutive years of shame. Sigh,i have lost all my face. City Lord, you are already like this, do you still want to stay in the position of City Lord?"
