Chapter 706
At the end of the white jade avenue in the inner ring of the Ancient Emperor Star's human capital, Li Yunshan and the 30,000 Sword-Holders did not enter the city. Even though their number was negligible compared to the Imperial Capital, there would inevitably be suspicion of overstepping.
Li Yunshan understood this point very well, so after escorting Xu Qing to the end of the white jade avenue, he set up camp on the side with the Sword-Holders, only arranging for Kong Kong Xianglong to take 100 Sword-Holders to follow behind Xu Qing and enter the capital with Princess Princess Anhai!
Because of the previous fluctuation of the array, the originally bustling crowd in the capital city was now much emptier!
Even if the array crisis was lifted, the number of pedestrians was still sharply reduced compared to the past for a while.
But even so, looking around, it was still much livelier than the capital of Fenghai County, and this liveliness became more and more intense as time passed!
At this moment, Princess Princess Anhai spoke while leading Xu Qing's group through the capital city.
"Xu Qing, besides the Upper Xuanwu Palace and the Lower Xuanwu Palace in our clan's Imperial Capital, there are other places that need to be faced with caution!"
"For example, the Thirty-Three Heavenly King Mansions... now it's thirty-two!" Princess Princess Anhai paused for a moment!
"Besides that, there are important ministers in the court, such as the Prime Minister's and Minister's mansions, the 108 Heavenly Marquises of the capital, and the Prince's mansions."
"All princes have the qualifications to open a mansion, but it is limited to the capital city!"
"Behind them are the ten super sects of our human race. These sects have deep foundations and are still powerful, and some can even be traced back to the era of the Ancient Emperor Emperor Xuanyou!"
The Captain blinked and looked at Princess Princess Anhai when he heard this!
"I heard there is a very famous sect called the Xia Xian Palace?"
This name made Xu Qing's heart move. Xiang Ningyan, who was also looking at Princess Princess Anhai, was the same. Although he had some understanding of these things, he obviously didn't know as much as Princess Anhai.
So he also pricked up his ears to listen, and Wu Wu Jianwu was even more spirited. Anything related to Emperor Xuanyou was his obsession!
However, Kong Kong Xianglong was not interested in these. He fulfilled his duty to guard Xu Qing and pay attention to all directions.
Princess Princess Anhai nodded when she heard this and continued to introduce! "These ten super sects are, respectively, the Star Emperor Extreme Sect founded by the Starry Sky Great Emperor, the Shenhe Cangyu Sect from which the Heavenly King Yuling came, the Ghost Domain You Sect that controls the way of the netherworld, and the Taishang Yueqing Sect of the National Teacher's lineage!"
"As well as the Xuanhuo Jiuli Sect formed in later generations, the Hongchen Wangqing Tower whose business is spread across many domains, the human branch of the equally terrifying Litu Sect, the Truth of Words that worships the Remnant Face and has been searching for the God Child, and another one is the Cangtu Dao that shoulders special missions in the abyss of the Imperial Capital!"
Princess Princess Anhai's words contained a lot of information, and it seemed that every sect had its own special features.
For example, the Litu Sect inside, Xu Qing had known for a long time that it was a super sect with forces spread throughout the entire Eastern Wanggu!
Its doctrine is to leave Eastern Wanggu and pursue the holy land. All races have this sect, and its general sect is mysterious.
Xu Qing only knew that its leader was called the Great Prince Sima. And that Cangtu Dao, Princess Princess Anhai didn't know its mission because she didn't understand Huangtian, but Xu Qing had a guess immediately after hearing it!
The mission of a sect living in the abyss is nothing more than guarding the gate!
Xu Qing had also heard of the Truth of Words. He knew there was such an organization as early as when he was in the Nanhuang Continent. The other party was very mysterious, and Xu Qing had little contact with them!
At this moment, he realized that the other party was actually one of the super forces in the Imperial Capital!
"The Truth of Words worships the Remnant Face?" Xu Qing looked at Princess Anhai and revealed his doubt!
Princess Princess Anhai sighed softly! "Some people are in awe, some people hate the world, so naturally there is worship. All races are like this, and the human race is no exception. This Truth of Words is such an organization, and like the Litu Sect, all races have it!"
"As for their doctrine, it is to search for the God Child. They believe that those who can survive the Remnant Face opening its eyes are God's favored ones and have the potential to become God Children, so they search for such people throughout Eastern Wanggu!"
"They even believe that there must be one. This person has endured the Remnant Face opening its eyes many times but still hasn't died. Isn't such a person God's favored one, and the God Child they are looking for!"
"After finding them, as long as they divide and sacrifice them, they can obtain divine power!"
Princess Princess Anhai's words made Xu Qing silent!
"The last one is the Xia Xian Palace you mentioned earlier!"
"This palace is extremely special. Legend has it that this Xia Xian Palace is the first sect to appear among all living beings of the ten thousand races in the Eastern Wanggu Continent, and the Xia Xian Palace at the beginning did not only have the human race!"
"Later, this Xia Xian Palace split. After many imperial successions, the Ancient Spirit Emperor unified Eastern Wanggu and abolished the system of the Xia Xian Palace. Imperial power was greater than everything, and there was an agreement with the Xia Xian Palace. The Xia Xian Palace closed its palace all year round and did not have much contact with the outside world. It only sent out one disciple every thousand years, did not participate in disputes, and only chose to record the thousand-year history of the tribe it was in."
"Even now, the Xia Xian Palace still abides by the agreement with the Ancient Emperor Emperor Xuanyou!" Princess Anhai was saying this as the group passed by that eight-cornered high tower built of white wood that rose straight into the clouds like a Temple of Heaven!
The high tower was surrounded by white walls, and there was no fluctuation around it, stopping anyone who approached.
"The National Teacher of the Taishang Yueqing Sect often stays in this Star-Plucking Tower. Even many princes and ministers have never seen his face. Only the Emperor and the Fourth Prince have seen his appearance!"
"The Fourth Prince is the National Teacher's disciple!"
"It is said that the National Teacher possesses heaven-reaching abilities and heaven-shaking strategies." Princess Princess Anhai looked up at the clouds, where clouds and mist were swirling, and one could vaguely see a pavilion, with dragon beasts dancing, full of auspiciousness.
Xu Qing nodded slightly, and Princess Princess Anhai accompanied them all the way here, telling them all the forces in the Imperial Capital. Her sincerity was also full.
At this moment, she turned to Xu Qing!
"Young Master, Princess Anhai also has to return to the palace. The situation in the Imperial Capital is changing, the hearts of the people are complex, and all parties are intertwined. I hope Young Master will keep your eyes open and distinguish carefully!" Princess Anhai finished speaking and bowed. Xu Qing returned the salute.
Along the way, he felt Princess Princess Anhai's intention to make friends very strongly, and he naturally had to respond to the kindness others showed him!
"I also wish the Princess all the best. If there is anything in the Imperial Capital that needs Xu's help, please let me know!"
Princess Anhai smiled and turned to leave!
Looking at Princess Princess Anhai's back, Xiang Ningyan blinked and was about to say something, but after glancing at Immortal Zixuan on the side, he chose to keep his mouth shut!
But his actions were as clear as a mirror in Immortal Zixuan's eyes, so he said lightly!
"Xiang Ningyan, go to your mansion!"
Xiang Ningyan nodded quickly and led the way, walking toward his mansion in the Imperial Capital!
As princes, they all live outside after coming of age. Everyone has their own mansion in the capital city. Xiang Ningyan's mansion is located in the north district of the capital city. Compared to other places, it is slightly remote, but if you look at it from another angle, this place is very quiet!
Especially since the mansion is not small, with three layers inside and outside, and there is a mirror-like lake outside, which is connected to the mansion to form a whole. Whether it is the scenery or the atmosphere, it is very stylish!
The style is delicate and elegant. There are some bells in the corner tower. When the wind blows, ripples appear on the lake, sending coolness while also having crisp sounds echoing in all directions.
Looking at this place from afar, Immortal Zixuan's eyes revealed satisfaction and appreciation. Xu Qing also saw that this building was different from other houses he had seen along the way, and the Captain on the side also praised it!
"This place moves with the wind and water, and the sound rises with the heart, seeping into the mind. It is unique. Generally speaking, there must be treasures born here!"
Saying this, he instinctively looked at the lake and licked his lips!
"This was built by my mother according to her wishes before she died!" Xiang Ningyan looked at this mansion, his expression revealing melancholy, and he spoke softly!
Then he led the way, not flying, but walking directly onto the lake!
As his footsteps landed on the water, a ten-colored koi jumped out of the water immediately. The sunlight fell on the koi, colorful and brilliant, its whiskers were very long, splashing some water droplets, which was very beautiful!
In front of the water, such koi were one after another. They seemed to possess spiritual wisdom and recognized their master!
They kept jumping in the water, sending Xu Qing's group all the way to the shore!
But unfortunately, the moment they stepped on the shore and appeared at the mansion gate, that sense of artistic conception dissipated somewhat because of the dilapidated mansion!
This mansion looked okay from a distance, but up close, because no one had lived there for many years, the decaying aura of the passage of time rushed toward them!
The red door was mottled, and the bells and locks were full of rust. Pushing open the gate, the courtyard was overgrown with weeds and full of desolation!
Looking at this, Xiang Ningyan felt bitter in his heart, barely showing a smile, and looked at Xu Qing and the Captain!
"I'm home!" Xu Qing patted Xiang Ningyan on the shoulder, and the Captain waved his hand!
"Little Ning, your house is not bad. Come, come, let's clean it up together. I think this is a geomantic treasure land. According to my deduction, this place is clearly a hidden dragon pattern, which shows that you kid will not be simple in the future!"
Xiang Ningyan was moved in his heart, nodded heavily, and cleaned up with everyone.
They hadn't been in this mansion for long, and the entire mansion was soon tidy under the cleaning of Xu Qing's group. Kong Kong Xianglong even took the Sword-Holders to check the surroundings very carefully!
But Xiang Ningyan, after checking all the rooms, looked a little depressed and stood there in a daze.
Seeing this, Xu Qing went over to ask!
Xiang Ningyan hesitated, but finally whispered the reason!
"A few things are missing. They are relics left by my mother. I left in a hurry when I was young, and those items couldn't be carried, so I left them at home!"
"Now they are gone. I just sent a message to my third sister to ask, and she said she helped me check, and it was the Tenth Prince who took them privately!"
"The Tenth Prince's mother's clan has the First Heavenly King of the human race, King King Zhenyan, and the Tenth Prince has an arrogant personality and is not liked by the First Heavenly King, but few people dare to provoke him!"
"If he takes them, it's hard to get them back!" Xiang Ningyan said bitterly.
Xu Qing pondered for a moment when he heard this and turned to look at Kong Kong Xianglong.
Kong Kong Xianglong's eyes revealed sharp light, and when he met Xu Qing's eyes, he already knew Xu Qing's thoughts!
"Brother Kong, have someone send a jade slip to the Tenth Prince's mansion, telling the other party to send back the things they borrowed within a day!"
