Previously, he mentioned: On his way to the west of the city, Jiang Feng met a man dressed in black and red.

Jiang Feng stopped his horse. That person slowly turned his head and said in a not very friendly tone: "Who do I think it is, it's you! Long time no see, Chiang Feng. You're in such a hurry, where are you going? " When Jiang Feng saw this person, he could not help but be startled. The Cold Iron Silver Lance in his hands tightened their grip and said coldly: "I do not need to tell you where I am going." The man placed the blade on his shoulder, and stared straight at Jiang Feng with his sinister eyes, and said: "Hmph, in just a few days, you have become much more arrogant. From the looks of it, being the champion of Wulin Conference has given you a lot of confidence. " So this man was Death Land Sect's Young Hall Master. Jiang Feng replied with a sharp gaze, but Wan Tianba avoided his gaze and said: "I just saw the Imperial List posted in the city, and I know that you are now a Master of the Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall of Capital. Hmph, for you to have such a day, shouldn't you thank me? " Jiang Feng asked, "Thank you?" Wan Tianba slowly walked closer and said: "This position of the Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall of Capital Master is originally something that I have in my pockets. If I did not give up halfway, do you think you would have obtained it?" Jiang Feng said in disdain, "Oh, is that so? Then why did you give up midway and give me such a good opportunity? I think you're afraid. " Wan Tianba laughed crazily and said in disdain, "Are you afraid? Haha! I've never been afraid of anyone since I was young. " After he finished speaking, he shrugged his shoulders, walked in front of Jiang Feng, and said with a provocative tone: "Hmph, just take this opportunity to be complacent. In a few days, when I'm fully recovered, you will personally pay me a visit. At that time, I hope that I can compete with your Great Master Jiang! " Jiang Feng knew that he had not fully recovered from his injuries, so he did not have any intention to fight today. Wan Tianba suddenly pulled on the reins and asked, "Will the Great Master Jiang reject our guest?" Jiang Feng opened his hand and whipped his horse, leaving behind a sentence: "Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall accepting of all heroes and sages in the world, welcome to visit Young Hall Master at any time." The white horse galloped away and gradually disappeared into the distance. Wan Tianba looked at the distant Jiang Feng, and snorted: "I'll let you be happy for a while more, but after you fight with me, you will understand what is meant by fear, hmph hmph, sooner or later, I will make you lose your reputation. By then, Bing Bing will be able to see the gap between us. " He laughed maniacally as he walked towards the city gate.

Along the way, Jiang Feng's heart was depressed and he softly sighed: "Seems like this battle between Wan Tianba and I is unavoidable. His attainment in the way of the blade is extremely high and I need to think of a way to restrain him, if not I won't be able to defeat him with my current power." As his thoughts wandered, Jiang Feng soon saw a large courtyard house from afar. He knew that that was the Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall of Capital. Jiang Feng dismounted from his horse and led the white horse forward. Who knew that the two guards at the door would stop him and ask, "Sir, who are you? This is the Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall set up by the imperial government, so no one is allowed to get close to it. " Jiang Feng reacted and immediately took out the gold medal bestowed by the Emperor from his waist and showed it to the two guards. After the two of them saw each other, they knelt down and said: "This subordinate has eyes but did not recognize Mount Tai, and did not know that Master had personally come, please forgive me!" It was the first time Jiang Feng had received such a great courtesy since leaving the mountain, and naturally, he felt very apologetic. He quickly helped the two guards up and said: "Both of you hurry up and get up, as the saying goes, 'the ignorant are innocent', in the future when strangers visit our Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall, you can't be too reckless, you must be disrespectful, in case you offend a master that isn't from the outside world." The two guards thanked Jiang Feng, stood up and said: "Yes, this subordinate will follow your orders!" Jiang Feng nodded his head in satisfaction, and said: "Alright, quickly lead me to the museum," one of the guards went over to lead Jiang Feng's white horse, the other pushed open the door, and said respectfully: "Master, please follow me."

Inside the imperial palace's Imperial Study, the emperor was holding onto a history book as he flipped through it. Lu Jianfei asked softly, "Your majesty, is this Chiang Feng really reliable? Subordinate has checked, his origin is still unknown, so the so-called origin of his name should have been fabricated by himself. " After a while, he opened his mouth and said: "We can see that Chiang Feng is not bad, no matter what his origins are, or what he has done in the past, as long as he can take care of the Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall well and recruit a good hero, it will be beneficial to the imperial government." Lu Jianfei replied respectfully: "This subordinate naturally believes in the knowledge of the Emperor, but I'm afraid that there may be some people who are interested in him." The emperor stood up from the dragon throne and placed the history book on the table. He said, "As for whether or not he can resist the temptation of the outside world, that will depend on himself. If he could, he would always be the Master; if not, there would still be the next Master. As long as our Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall is able to attract a lot of experts from the martial forests, our battle with that person would only increase the odds of winning. " Lu Jianfei felt that this matter is of great concern, he should not place all his hope on a boy who had just entered the martial arts world. His heart was heavy as he said: "Your majesty, if Chiang Feng is on the wrong path, or if he does not have the ability to develop his Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall, won't he ruin your plans?" The Emperor shook his head, walked over and patted Lu Jianfei's shoulders, then smiled: "His personality is exactly the same as yours, I will not misjudge him." After Lu Jianfei heard what the emperor had said, it was not good for him to say anymore.

"Master Chiang Feng, you really made us wait. I can't wait anymore!" Xu Yuan shouted out in displeasure, causing Jiang Feng to quickly return the gesture, and said: "With the emperor's order, I hope that everyone will forgive me." Gui Xuerou laughed, and joked: "Oh? So it turns out that the Emperor had ordered the Great Master to roam the streets and sightsee. Hehe, of course we understand. " Yue Xingchen coughed dryly and pulled at the corner of her clothes: "Junior sister, stop talking nonsense. The Emperor summoned the Master because he naturally has something to discuss." Gui Xuerou gently waved her slender and jade-like hands, and said quietly: "Since Master Master has already arrived, then I will go and rest. Excuse me, everyone!" With that, she walked out of the inner hall and headed to the side room. Yue Xingchen held his sword and apologized: "Junior sister is teasing, I hope Master does not take it to heart." Jiang Feng laughed: "It's fine, it's fine." He placed the Cold Iron Silver Lance at the side and said politely: "Everyone, please take a seat. Allow me to slowly explain the emperor's intentions to everyone."

After everyone found their seats, Jiang Feng cleared his throat and said, "The emperor is saying, our Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall s, like its name, are designed to recruit wise men and recruit all martial artists under the heavens. Regardless of whether it is sects or regions, as long as anyone is willing to contribute to our Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall, we are willing to welcome them and record his name on the register at any time. Currently, although there are only a few of us in the Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall, as long as we work together, I believe that within three months, we will be able to recruit quite a few outstanding individuals. " Yan Kuo was the first to speak, and said: "So that's how it is, this is a difficult task, and there are many self-proclaimed experts who do not wish to be associated with the imperial government." Xu Yuan just did not like Yan Kuo and refuted: "Tch, my master once told me that 'everything is difficult at the beginning', but as long as one is willing to work hard and persevere, there is nothing that can't be done. We have yet to take action, yet you, the Deputy Master, are saying such dejected words. What is the meaning of this? " Yan Kuo was just about to get angry, but was stopped by Jiang Feng's words: "What Big Brother Yan says is the truth, and it's not wrong at all. But we should also carry on with the spirit of the Brother Xu Yuan, and work hard to do a good job. This humble one knows that my talents are shallow, and I still lack experience in the martial arts world. Therefore, I hope that everyone can give me a few pointers. " Originally, Kuang Mofann was displeased that he lost to Jiang Feng today, but when he saw the humility in Jiang Feng's words, he could not help but admire him even more. He opened his mouth and suggested: "This humble one has an idea, I wonder what Master Chiang and everyone's thoughts are?" After Jiang Feng heard this, he was overjoyed. "What suggestions does Elder Brother Xi have? Kuang Mofann suppressed his voice and said: "I suggest that we split up. He had stayed in the Central Plains to recruit heroes of Martial-arts Circles of Central Plains; on the other hand, he had gone to search for experts outside of the pass. Only two jobs could double the results. If Master Chiang is willing, I can lead you to the outside of the pass. " Jiang Feng excitedly slapped the table and stood up, and said: "This is indeed an extremely good suggestion, good, it's a deal!" He glanced at Yan Kuo, and Yan Kuo understood. He said sternly: "Since that's the case, I will stay in the pavilion, and when I have time, I will send people to different places to look for heroes, I believe my friends in the martial arts will definitely not let me off this easily." Jiang Feng was very excited and said: "Alright, then I'll be troubling Big Brother Yan with Martial-arts Circles of Central Plains. Brother Kuang and I will head outside the pass to find some strange people and also pay a visit to the Four Major Sects." Yue Xingchen suddenly stood up and apologized: "I'm afraid that I and my junior sister cannot accompany Master to the other side of the seal, I hope that you will forgive me. But I believe that I can borrow this order badge from the Master Chiang for now and use it in the future. " Jiang Feng nodded his head and received it. On the front of the order badge was carved the word "Gan" and on the back of the token was carved the word "Chen". It was obvious that this was the order badge that Yue Xingchen had obtained from the Qian Sect. Xu Yuan laughed: "Great, I can spar with so many experts again, interesting!" Kuang Mofann said: "Master Chiang, since we have made our decision, we should leave as soon as possible." Jiang Feng thought for a moment, then replied: "Alright, everyone is a little tired today, we will set out the next day, and head outside the pass." Kuang Mofann nodded and agreed.

What about later?

And then we'll see how it breaks down in the next round.
