Chapter 1067: Entering the Imperial Capital

Ye Liuyun now holds the status of Prince; even if he were to marry a princess, it would still be a proper match, so Emperor Xia probably wouldn't react so intensely.

He then solemnly told the two women, "Don't worry, if Emperor Xia detains you, I'll definitely find a way to rescue you! I will never let you marry anyone else!"

Both women were quite moved by Ye Liuyun's words. Especially Xia Tianqiong, as soon as Ye Liuyun expressed his stance, she was already completely satisfied!

The group chatted for a while longer, then each went to cultivate.

The rest of the journey went smoothly, with no further dangers encountered.

Outside the imperial capital, Ye Liuyun led everyone off the Flying Boat and arrived at the foot of the city.

"We finally made it back!"

Feng Xiaoxiao let out a muffled sigh of frustration. The recent voyage had left him utterly suffocated.

Xia Tianqiong and Ling Shuang also accompanied Ye Liuyun out.

They hadn't been back for a long time and wanted to see if anything had changed.

Lei Ming, Long Nv, Ye Tiandao, Huo Wu, Dujiao and others—a large group—followed behind Ye Liuyun.

It was the first time these people had seen such a massive city, and they were all very curious.

"This imperial capital is actually this huge!"

Ye Liuyun gazed at the capital before him and couldn't help feeling awe.

He looked at the walls as if he were gazing up at a giant.

"These walls must be several hundred zhang tall, right?" He had never seen walls so towering before.

"Exactly five hundred zhang!" Feng Xiaoxiao hurriedly told Ye Liuyun.

"Walls this high—are they meant to fend off giants?" Ye Liuyun asked, puzzled why such towering walls were built.

Ling Shuang laughed, "It's to showcase the royal family's grandeur and authority!"

They joked and laughed as they entered the city together.

When passing through the city gate, they felt like a few ants slipping through the doorway.

"Even if I turned into my true form to enter the city, I'd still have plenty of room!" Lei Ming exclaimed.

Ye Liuyun noticed that at the gate there was a mirror; whenever someone passed in front of it, the mirror flashed a burst of light.

"What's this mirror for?" Ye Liuyun asked Xia Tianqiong, puzzled.

"That's a mirror for detecting Alien Evil Artifacts! Whether it's a person or a Storage Ring, as long as there's a living Alien Evil Artifact, it will reveal it!"

"Now that's a useful thing!" Ye Liuyun hadn't expected such a treasure to exist.

After they entered the city, they were dazzled—much like country folk entering a metropolis!

Even Ye Liuyun marveled at the atmosphere and splendor here!

"The imperial capital of the Zhongyang Dalu is truly different! It's the largest and most magnificent capital I've ever seen!"

Ye Liuyun sincerely praised it.

Xia Tianqiong led them to a Teleportation Array.

Ye Liuyun and the others discovered that there were hundreds of Teleportation Arrays here, each placed right next to another.

"What's this for?" the group asked, a bit confused.

"The capital is huge! We're still in the outer city; getting to the inner city would require a long walk. So why not pay a fee and use the Teleportation Array?"

"How far is it?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.

Xia Tianqiong explained, "If we fly at full speed, it'd take about half a day. If we stroll like we are now, it would take a very long time!"

Ye Liuyun and the group of Monster Beasts were all shocked.

"The capital is that big! If trouble arises, we might not be able to run out?" Lei Ming bluntly voiced Ye Liuyun's concern.

"Haha, there are Qiankun Realm strongmen here. If you don't want your little brother to get into trouble, you'd better behave." Ling Shuang, now familiar with Lei Ming and the others, spoke more casually.

Lei Ming stuck out his tongue and quickly pledged not to cause any trouble.

"Wait for me a moment!" Ye Liuyun turned and sprinted out of the city; after running a short distance, he recorded the coordinates inside the Black Tower.

He then returned to the city and reunited with the group.

Everyone knew he had gone to log the coordinates, so they exchanged knowing smiles.

Only Feng Xiaoxiao wore a bewildered expression, not knowing what they were doing.

But at this moment she was eager to go home and couldn't bother with details, constantly urging them to enter the Teleportation Array together.

The Teleportation Array charged each person a hundred premium Spirit Stones, which ordinary folk couldn't afford, so it's no wonder few use it.

Those coming and going through the Array were clearly high officials, nobles, and wealthy heirs.

Ye Liuyun didn't mind the Spirit Stones; he wanted the newly transformed Monster Beasts to experience the Array.

These Teleportation Arrays were far better than those he'd seen before; after a slight dizzy feeling, he was already transported to the other side.

He guessed it was due to the short distance and the fact that the transport occurred within the same space.

The inner city's scale was no different from the outer city; everywhere featured spacious buildings.

"Shall we find a restaurant and have a big feast?" Lei Ming swung Ye Liuyun's arm, pleading.

Before Ye Liuyun could answer, Feng Xiaoxiao suggested, "Why not go to our Feng Clan? We have a dedicated guest area. I'll arrange hospitality for you; it won't be any worse than an outside restaurant, so why spend money going out?"

Lei Ming heard that and had no objection.

"As long as there's food, it's the same wherever we eat! Besides, it doesn't cost anything!"

"Alright then!" Ye Liuyun nodded.

He also wanted to take the chance to visit the Feng Clan.

So the party followed Feng Xiaoxiao to the Feng Clan's residence.

It was a rather large manor.

Ye Liuyun estimated that its size could rival that of their Qianlong Academy.

At the gate there were ten guards, the lowest of whom were at the Eightfold Creation stage, and there was also a chief who was an early-stage Earth Sovereign.

These people all knew Feng Xiaoxiao. Seeing her return, they all greeted her.

The Earth Sovereign chief then came over and asked, "Xiaoxiao, you weren't out training with Elder Tong and the others, were you?"

Upon mentioning Elder Tong, Feng Xiaoxiao's eye sockets immediately reddened, and tears began to patter down.

What's wrong?

The Earth Sovereign chief asked nervously, also glancing at Ye Liuyun and the others.

He had already noticed that most of these people were monster beasts.

However, the leading man and two women possessed an extraordinary bearing.

They're all dead!

Feng Xiaoxiao said through sobs.

The chief gave his subordinate a look, and someone immediately went inside to report.

Then he cupped his fists toward Ye Liuyun and the others and asked, "Who are you all?"

He assessed the situation and thought Ye Liuyun should be the leader of this group, but Ye Liuyun's cultivation was too low, so he dared not be certain.

Ye Liuyun stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "We rescued Xiaoxiao and brought her back. We originally intended to say goodbye after entering the city, but she insisted we come as guests, so we've come to impose a little."
