第367章 天玄七国排位战苍万壑向前一步，神色间兀自充斥着浓浓的不可置

第367章 天玄七国排位战
苍万壑向前一步，神色间兀自充斥着浓浓的不可置信，虽然这个年轻男子的气质卓绝不凡，让他这个帝皇都有轻微的心悸之感，但他依然不敢相信堂堂的神凰皇子，竟然会亲自来到他苍风国，他犹豫着问题：“你真的是……神凰帝国皇子？”

凤熙辰淡淡一笑：“有凤神玉为证。”

说话间，凤熙辰右手伸出，掌心出现了一块赤红如血的凤状玉佩，这枚血色玉佩一出现，霎时间，浓郁到极点的火系元素疯狂的逸散而出，如同在大厅之内忽然燃烧起一簇冲天烈火，让厅中玄力修为稍低的人群一瞬间面色赤红，全身都几乎要烧起来。
凤熙辰收起风神玉，玉扇击腕，不紧不慢道：“苍风帝皇言重了，贵客愧不敢当，倒是今日不请自来，还望苍风帝皇不要怪罪。”

“哈哈哈哈，十三皇子这是哪里的话，神凰皇都距离我苍风皇城数万里之遥，十三皇子跋山涉水至此，我苍风皇室可谓蓬荜生辉，高兴欢迎还来不及，哪里谈得上怪责……来人，速为神凰帝国三位贵客安排上座。”

“不用了。”凤熙辰却是一摆手，笑吟吟的道：“在下专程来到贵国，也是有要事要做，适逢苍风帝皇嫁女这等大事，在下万万不敢耽误太过时间……不知苍风帝皇可能猜出在下为何事而来？”
在堂堂的一国之帝面前居然优哉游哉的让对方猜自己的来意，这无疑是不敬，又傲慢之极的行为，但凤熙辰此举，在场之人竟几乎没有一人觉得不妥……因为他是神凰帝国的皇子……毫不夸张的说，在天玄大陆影响力上，他要胜过苍风帝皇不知多少倍！不要说他对苍万壑还算客气，就算是他来了之后目中无人，满口.爆粗，苍万壑也绝不敢与他起冲突。在场之人，也无一敢得罪和不满。

苍万壑微微一想，道：“莫非是……天玄七国排位战？”

“哈哈哈哈！”凤熙辰大笑一声：“二十五年一届的七国排位战还有不到半年便会召开，其他五国已数次向我凤凰神宗询问相关事宜，并早在三年前就开始进行大量的准备，惟独贵国一直风平浪静，我还以为贵国已经忘记了这等事。”
凤熙辰在进入大厅，展露身份后，言语之上虽然傲气凌然，但用词上带也带着点敬重，而这番话一出，只要不是白痴，都清清楚楚的听出了他对苍风帝国的蔑视。一些玄界之人心中愠怒，但更多的，是深深的无奈和耻辱……因为苍风帝国在七国排位战中，收获的从来都是耻辱，被其他六国狠狠践踏，嘲笑的耻辱。

其他六国参加排位战，是为了展露实力，让他国见识自己的雄威。

但苍风帝国，每次都似乎是为了被践踏而参加排位战。千年之中，每一届的七国排位战，苍风大陆精挑细选而出的最强者，无论遇到哪一国，都会以惨败收场，每一届的排位战，他们都是犹如笑话一般的存在，承受的，是年复一年的惨败与耻辱。
凤熙辰的话和大笑声，也是在肆无忌惮的宣泄着对苍风玄界的轻视和嘲笑。

苍万壑脸色稍变，但马上恢复平和，淡淡一笑，道：“这等二十五年一届的天玄盛事，朕当然不会忘记。只是朕前几年身体抱恙，卧床难起，因而没有心力来分心此事。十三皇子此来，可是为了送天玄七国排位战的邀请函？”

“不错。”凤熙辰颔首，然后手指伸出，夹起一张雕印着赤色凤凰的烫金请柬：“五个月后，第三十九届天玄七国排位战将在我神凰帝国‘凤凰界’举行，既然是‘七国排位战’，那么苍风七国自然一个都不可少，届时，我凤凰神宗会在凤凰城恭候天玄强者的大驾。七国排位战旨在切磋实力，展现国威，其中之规矩细则，相信苍风帝皇必然熟知，在下就不多加赘述了，不过这届排位战和以往会有一不同之处……不知苍风帝皇，可曾听过‘太古玄舟’？”
太古玄舟？”苍万壑微微一愣，随之面容惊容，失声道：“莫非……太古玄舟已在神凰国再现？”

“太古玄舟”四个字一出，大厅之中大部分人一脸茫然，云澈也是面露疑问，而凌云凌杰、楚月璃、萧绝天等人都是面色一变。

“难道，太古玄舟再次出现了？”凌杰低声道。

凌云眉头紧起，低声道：“在过往历史中，太古玄舟平均三百年一现，按时间记载算来，距离太古玄舟上一次出现，的确已经过去了大概三百年的时间……看来，天玄大陆又要骚动一段时间了……只是，和我们苍风，根本毫无关系。这么多年以来，苍风的强者从来没有能靠近太古玄舟的机会。
“不错！”凤熙辰点头：“半月之前，太古玄舟再度浮现我凤凰城之上。按照对太古玄舟的记载，太古玄舟出现后的半年，舟门会自行打开，仔细算来，那时刚好是七国排位战结束之期。太古玄舟传闻蕴藏着惊天之宝，惊世之秘。只是太古玄舟之舟门开启时间不但短暂，且可进入之人的数量极为有限，而唯有强者，才有探索太古玄舟的资格。届时，能取得七国排位战前三之国，便可获得协力探索太古玄舟的资格。相信苍风帝皇，以及贵国诸多高手，对这太古玄舟定然有着极大的兴趣。”
太古玄舟的传说玄妙无比，只要听说其传说，无不对其向往无比。但苍万壑知道苍风国的斤两，自然不敢有什么奢望，而没有了奢望，也自然不会激动失态，他微微颔首道：“原来如此，这的确是让天下强者兴奋不已的消息。十三皇子身份尊崇，没想到此番七国排位战之事，竟是十三皇子亲自来送邀请函，并告知相关事宜，贵国此番倒真是小题大做，让朕都有些惶恐不安了，哈哈哈哈。王海，还不去把请柬接下。”

这本是云澈与苍月公主的新婚大典，名震苍风的云澈。也自然是这场大典的第一主角，但凤熙辰的出现，却是将所有人的注意力都集中到了他的身上，几乎让人忘记了这里是云澈的大婚仪式……因为凤熙辰的神凰皇子身份，实在是太过骇人，把云澈的耀眼光环都完全压过。
凤熙辰将邀请函交过，嘴角勾起，带起一抹似蔑视，似玩味的笑，一双微眯的眼眸转移向了云澈：“苍风帝皇似乎误会了，在下此次亲身而来，排位战之事只是一半目的，至于另一半嘛……便是贵国这位新晋驸马……云澈。”

“他的身上，可是有着关系我凤凰血脉的大事！！”
