一夜无话。                                                                                                                                                    是日清晨，严家演武场。                                                                                                                                                    来的人渐渐多了起来，严家虽然是在最近这百年内崛起的，但如今已经挤入了晟城前三了。                                                                                                                                                    严家各项生意频频遭受打压，家族日渐衰弱的消息，早已在世家之间传扬开来。一些跟严家曾有过节的家族，也有一点按捺不住，蠢蠢欲动了。而跟严家关系较好的几个家族，比如白家，则是忧心忡忡。                                                                                                                                                    严家和柳家后辈对决的消息已经传遍了各个世家，吸引了不少世家派人前来观看比斗。                                                                                                                                                    观看的人群围在演武场的周围，都在小声地议论纷纷。                                                                                                                                                    “这次严家怕是凶多吉少了！柳家来者不善啊，据说后面是有霸宗撑腰啊！”                                                                                                                                                    “什么据说，根本就是，那霸宗之人现在就住在柳家之中呢！但是即使这样，严家也不能退让，如果真的退让了，那严家就彻底消失了！”                                                                                                                                                    “可毕竟严家势力弱小，！而柳家，虽然势力也并没有强大到哪里，但毕竟是有霸宗撑腰的啊！”                                                                                                                                                    “而且这次听说严冰根本就没有回来，严破天好像也叛出严家了，这样子的话，严家后辈跟柳家后辈差得太远了，严家此次必败无疑！”                                                                                                                                                    围观的人们朝演武场前方看去，严力端坐在上首，威严凛然，一股浩荡的气势，在他身周萦绕。                                                                                                                                                    大长老、三长老、等人都端坐在严力的身边，而严力。严宁这些严家青年一辈的佼佼者站在左右两边，一些没有参加这次比试的资格的人，只能站在几乎没有人注意的角落。                                                                                                                                                    这场比试关乎着严家的生死存亡，没有人敢不重视，严家众人一个个都神情凝重，严宁、严火等几位青年一辈的佼佼者脸上更是带着无法掩饰的紧张之色。                                                                                                                                                    严莉莉紧紧地握着拳头，此战干系重大，希望杰哥哥能够顶住压力，千万不要输，否则的话严家就完蛋了了。一旦从世家的位置上跌落下来，再想爬上去就很难了，而且严莉莉感觉到，武场周围有很多世家的人都是来看好戏的，如果严家败落了，他们肯定会落井下石！这让这个毫无心机的少女气氛异常。                                                                                                                                                    “哼！杰哥哥一定会教你们做人的！”                                                                                                                                                    柳家的人还没到，气氛已经非常凝重了。                                                                                                                                                    “柳家家主柳席，霸宗天澜大人携霸宗众位大人以及城主大人到访！”随着一个族人的禀报声传来，演武场上的氛围立即随之一变。                                                                                                                                                    原先在小声议论的围观众人都不约而同地闭上了嘴巴，神情各异地看向演武场的入口方向。                                                                                                                                                    “让他们进来！”严力冷哼了一声，手臂处青筋暴露，沉声道，“霸宗还真是煞费苦心啊，居然连城主也跟着来了！”早有传闻，有一部分帝国皇室成员跟霸宗狼狈为奸，果然如此！                                                                                                                                                    霸宗请来城主，就是要向严家施压，如果严家输了，却还是不愿解散严家，恐怕就要受到雷霆般的打击！                                                                                                                                                    严家大门处，一群人蜂拥而入，红毯铺地，锣鼓喧鸣，这群人身穿柳家和霸宗统一的服饰，一股肃杀之气扑面而来。                                                                                                                                                    相比较而言，严家这边的气势就弱了很多。                                                                                                                                                    众人簇拥之中，霸宗在天澜的带领下缓缓走来，丝毫不理会周围人的殷勤。而柳家家主柳席就不一样了，只见他一路款款走来，与旁边两人谈笑风生，丝毫不将严家放在眼里。                                                                                                                                                    在他身边，有一个衣着华贵的中年人，正小心翼翼的跟着天澜众人走来，此人便是晟城城主，不过现在看来也只是个溜须拍马之辈。                                                                                                                                                    在他们三人身后，跟着十几个青年，那些青年脸上都带着不可一世的桀骜，对严家评头论足，言语间充满了不屑。柳家后辈人才济济，这十几个青年便是柳家后辈中的佼佼者，尤其是其中的柳石，目前已经是天始境五阶，在整个晟城的年轻一辈中，也能排得进前五之列！不过若是让他知道严杰已经是天师境不知作何打算。其实这也不怪霸宗之人，主要是因为他们上一次看见严杰还是天始经六阶的实力，他们怎么也不会相信此时的严杰已经天师境了，之所以严杰能够接下天澜的战书，还是他的*强度很高。                                                                                                                                                    严家的族人远远地朝着这边望来，都流露出了仇恨的目光，这两个月因为柳家的打压，严家的生意一落千丈，苦不堪言。                                                                                                                                                    贫苦一点也没什么，但是柳家的目标却是让严家解散！                                                                                                                                                    纵然粉身碎骨，也不能丢掉严家世代的传承！                                                                                                                                                    “柳席兄，看样子，你们柳家可是将严家的人得罪得不轻啊！”身材微胖、富贵逼人的城主淡然地扫了一眼严家那些人，呵呵地打趣道。                                                                                                                                                    “不招人妒，是庸才！”柳家家主柳席嘴角微勾，颇有几分不屑地道，“商场如战场，输了只能怪自己没本事，怨不得旁人！”                                                                                                                                                    “那倒是，有霸宗支撑的柳家，再加上你们柳家的渠道，谁能竞争得过你们？”城主哈哈朗笑了一声，语气中透露出一种合作的以为。                                                                                                                                                    “我们柳家本就依托霸宗而存在，现在有人威胁到柳家，霸宗自然不会袖手旁观的！”柳席微微冷笑道，眼中闪过一道势在必得的精光，这次又了霸宗的帮助，他就不信严家有什么理由可以继续存在下去！                                                                                                                                                    至于天澜他们为什么不直接灭了严家，而是要采用擂台的方式，柳席心中也有几分疑惑。不过也没有多想，以为只是霸宗想猫戏老鼠。                                                                                                                                                    “严家没得选择，此战严家必输，柳家年轻一辈的天才根本不是现在的严家能比的！”面容阴桀的天枫沉声说道，他和柳席之间有一些交易，这件事他必须帮柳家办好。                                                                                                                                                    “严兄，两三个月没见了，你似乎老了许多啊！身为严家家主，你可要注意身体啊，若是你不小心过世了，那这一大家子的人可都要流浪乞讨了！”柳席看向武场上首的严力朗声笑道，声如震雷滚滚，震得武场周围众人气血翻腾。                                                                                                                                                    这就是天王境强者的实力么？                                                                                                                                                    演武场周围各个世家的人脸色苍白，蹬蹬蹬地后退。他们都是各个世家的普通弟子，平时连见家主的机会都很少，哪里见过天王境的强者？                                                                                                                                                    整个晟城，能够达到天王境的，也不过十指之数而已！                                                                                                                                                    严力身后的一众族人感受到那强大的气息压迫而来，不由得脸色苍白，那可是天王境强者的气息！不过严杰也只是颤了颤，随后便再次面无表情起来，仿佛那只是一股春风罢了。                                                                                                                                                    严力身周滚滚浩荡之气冲体而出，护住周身，抵御柳席压迫而来的磅礴气息，沉声说道：“不劳柳家主费心，本质身体好着呢，起码还要再活个一百年！我活了那么久，比柳兄强横霸道的，也见了不知道多少，但那些人一个个下场凄惨，唯独我还活得好好的！”                                                                                                                                                    严力毫不示弱，虽然气势不如有霸宗撑腰的柳席，却有一种击穿人心的力量。                                                                                                                                                    不过虽然有严力帮忙阻挡了一部分气势，站在后面的严家年青一代出来严杰外依然感到气息翻涌，在这股力量的压迫之下，感觉识海都要被压碎了一般。                                                                                                                                                    他们的实力还是太弱了，若是没有严力的阻挡，恐怕天王境强者只需要一丝丝逸散的力量，就能将他碾得粉碎！                                                                                                                                                    不过现在的他们仍然是在裤裤的支撑着。看到这一幕，严杰也是无奈，只能释放出自己的枪意，将这一片区域覆盖了起来，这才让那群人好受了一些。虽然柳席没感觉，但是身前的严力却是感觉到了，他好奇的回身看了一眼严杰，最后决定不再询问，自己这个儿子的人生道路不是自己能够管的。                                                                                                                                                    严家演武场上，虽然比斗还没有开始，气氛却已经是剑拔弩张。                                                                                                                                                    被严力呛了之后，柳席脸色愈发阴沉，心中怒哼了一声，牙尖嘴利的家伙，我看你还能嘴硬到几时！                                                                                                                                                    柳家几个家族成员将桌椅摆放在比武场的对面，天澜等人大喇喇地坐了下来，丝毫没有将严家的人放在眼里。                                                                                                                                                    这群人把这里当做柳家了么？                                                                                                                                                    “严力，当着霸宗各位大人以及城主大人的面子，我再问你一次，你们严家，结不解散？”柳席大马金刀地坐在椅子上，鹰隼一般的眼睛宛如实质一般盯着严力，冷哼了一声道：“现在反悔还来得及，我杜家也不是小气的人，如果你现在愿意解散，我可以给你安家费！”                                                                                                                                                    “若是你还执迷不悟的话，等这场比试之后，那就一分钱不剩了！”                                                                                                                                                    “哦，不，那个时候，我最多会给你们一百天元币的安家费，免得你们严家流落街头，说我柳家不够仁义！好歹也是四大家族之一么”柳席言语间带着无比狂傲之意，嚣张地说道。此时由于是柳家和严家的恩怨，霸宗也不方便直接出面，以防被人说以大欺小，所以现在主持的是柳席。不过柳席也是拿着鸡毛当令箭。狐假虎威。                                                                                                                                                    听到严力的话，严杰眼眸中骤然闪过一道寒芒，心中的愤怒达到了极点。柳家如此步步紧逼，看样子是不把严家逼得家破人亡誓不罢休！                                                                                                                                                    “我严家未必会输，要是你们柳家输了怎么办，也解散吗！”严力望着柳席沉声说道，虽然明知道赢的希望非常渺茫，但严力也没有弱了气势。                                                                                                                                                    “我们柳家会输？”柳席极为不屑地扫了一眼严家的年轻一辈，冷笑了一声，“就凭这几个么？严力，只要你严家有本事赢，我柳家解散又何妨！”                                                                                                                                                    “有霸宗的大人和城主大人做见证人，你们严家也不用担心我们柳家会食言！”柳席傲然一笑，浑不在意地说道。                                                                                                                                                    “空口无凭，还是签一份契约吧！”严力拿出早就准备好的契约，右手虚摄，勾勒出道道神纹，那张契约直直地飞去，悬浮在柳家家主柳席身前。                                                                                                                                                    这一手也是让在场的众人有些惊叹。                                                                                                                                                    看到这一幕，柳席的眼神也是阴沉的更加深刻。随后想到：“现在还想耍威风，放心，等过了今日，你们严家的一切就都是我的。”                                                                                                                                                    “也好，我还担心你们严家不认账呢！”柳席轻哼了一声，看了一眼契约，没有任何犹豫，直接按下了手印，冷笑道，“我们得事先说清楚，比武场上，生死无怨！”                                                                                                                                                    听到柳席的话，严力心中一凛，看了严杰等人一眼。                                                                                                                                                    严杰眼神坚毅地看着严力，郑重地点了点头。这场比试他有十成的把我，要是只能一个打一个的话，可能还会有意外，现在车轮战的话，严杰真的没什么好害怕的。                                                                                                                                                    这个时候，容不得他们退缩，严力内心苍凉，但还是在比武契约上按下了手印。                                                                                                                                                    “比赛的规则，双方可以派三个家族子弟上场，一对一较量，落败的退下，最后哪一方有人站到最后，就算哪一方获胜！两位家主可有异议？”城主眼眸中闪过一抹戾气，环视一圈道。                                                                                                                                                    “没有异议！”严力沉声道。                                                                                                                                                    “没有异议！”柳席也自信满满地应道，无论严家怎么挣扎，都没有任何胜算！看了一眼柳家的年轻一辈，柳席脸上流露出了极为自负的冷傲笑容。                                                                                                                                                    “柳冥鸿你去吧！”柳席在柳家这边随意一指，说道。                                                                                                                                                    “是！”                                                                                                                                                    柳冥鸿嘴角噙着一丝桀骜的冷笑，大步流星地迈上了演武场。                                                                                                                                                    柳山是天始境六阶，其余几人都是天师境五阶的武者，而严家最强的严杰据说也不过是六阶，柳席便让其余两人现出手试试水。                                                                                                                                                    不过即使柳冥鸿是天始境五阶，但他也足以击败严家青年一辈除了严杰外的那些所谓的佼佼者！                                                                                                                                                    此时，站在柳席身边的柳山，身着一袭白衫，脸上流露出几分傲然之色，有了霸宗大人的丹药，这严家有谁配让他出手？                                                                                                                                                    柳冥鸿是五阶武者，严家这边能派谁应战？除了严杰，似乎没有人是柳冥鸿的对手，可严杰现在是严家青年一辈的最强者，若是现在就派上去，被消耗了实力，那对上柳山就更没有胜算了。                                                                                                                                                    严力也不由得心中悲凉，堂堂叶家，如今竟没落至斯，后辈青黄不接，谁能振兴严家？                                                                                                                                                    嗖嗖嗖——                                                                                                                                                    就在严力思考让谁出手的时候，一辆华贵的道器车辇飞驰而来，道道神纹环绕车身，光晕闪烁，绚丽夺目。                                                                                                                                                    “宝器车辇！”                                                                                                                                                    随着众人的惊呼，一道淡淡的戏虐笑声传来：“哦。。看来我没有来晚啊！”
