Chapter 547

However, now,

for the sake of the Northern Li Dynasty, he was willing to break the rules once, but he did not expect to be refused by Emperor Mingde in the end.

However,

Qi Tianchen was not too surprised.

As the Supreme Ruler and Lord of Northern Li, it was indeed difficult to make him bow his head to Snow Moon City.

What's more,

this bowing of the head was not as simple as just an apology; it involved the lives of a large group of people!

Moreover,

what Qi Tianchen was thinking about at this moment was not this; what was in his mind was what Emperor Mingde had said before he left.

Demon City.

Qi Tianchen could not help but frown.

The current number one Jianghu city in the world was Snow Moon City.

And before Snow Moon City rose, the title of the number one Jianghu city in the world belonged to Wushuang City, located in the land of Western Shu.

Back then, Wushuang City was known for gathering all the talents in the world; everyone in the city was proficient in the martial Dao, and it possessed wealth that could rival a nation. It was truly peerless in the world, and for this reason, it was called Wushuang City by countless Jianghu travelers.

It was a pity that,

a hundred years ago, the Western Shu Kingdom was destroyed by the Northern Li Dynasty. Although Wushuang City luckily escaped, it was stripped of most of its fortune.

But it had to be said that Wushuang City's foundation was indeed deep.

After going through a catastrophe, it was still able to restore its vitality to seven or eight-tenths of its original state in just a few decades. Wushuang City only needed one more expert in the Great Carefree Realm to sit in charge, and it would be enough to regain the title of the number one Jianghu city in the world.

However,

without giving Wushuang City any chance to react, Snow Moon City rose strongly during this period.

In just a few short years,

Snow Moon City became the number one Jianghu city in the hearts of countless Jianghu travelers.

Compared to Wushuang City, which did not allow outsiders to enter, Snow Moon City did not have so many rules. Let alone ordinary people, even destitute beggars could enter and leave Snow Moon City at will.

Therefore,

in the hearts of the vast majority,

even without the three City Lords whose strength was peerless in the world, the Jianghu-spirited Snow Moon City was more suitable for the title of the number one Jianghu city in the world than Wushuang City.

However, in the current Jianghu,

very few people know that before Snow Moon City and Wushuang City, there was another city known as the number one Jianghu city in the world!

And this city was called—

Demon City!

It was a pity that,

after that battle back then,

the dead died, the wounded were wounded, and those who retired retired.

Thinking of this,

and linking it to what Emperor Mingde said earlier, even as the State Preceptor Qi Tianchen, his heart could not help but tremble slightly.

Dao Lord, Confucian Saint, Demon City Lord, Jimo Sword Immortal...

These were all experts he only knew about from his master, Qingfeng Daoist, or from ancient texts.

It had to be said,

there were too many experts in that era!

So many that even the strength of the peak of the Great Carefree Realm could only be reduced to a background character in that era.

This was also the reason why, after learning that Jiang Chen had killed the Dao Sword Immortal with one sword, he hinted to Jiang Chen not to wipe out Mount Qingcheng.

Because the Dao Lord was from Mount Qingcheng!

And the Dao Lord,

was still alive in the world!

More than a hundred years ago, the Dao Lord's strength had already reached the Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm. Now, so many years later, with the Dao Lord's talent, no one knew what level his realm had reached.

Following that,

Qi Tianchen could not help but think of the Heavenly Beyond, think of the Demon Sect, think of Ye Dingzhi and the current Young Master of the Heavenly Beyond Demon Sect, Ye Anshi.

Among the four great families back then, there was the Ye family!

Back then, Ye Dingzhi had clearly fallen, but Emperor Mingde did not wipe out Ye Anshi. Everyone thought this was because of Yi Wenjun, but Qi Tianchen understood that the real reason was very likely the Ye family!

He wasn't sure before,

but now, Qi Tianchen had no more doubts in his heart.

However...

Why would Emperor Mingde suddenly mention Demon City?

Although he served as the Head of the Imperial Observatory, Qi Tianchen understood that there were many things Emperor Mingde knew far more about than he did!

Subconsciously,

Qi Tianchen began to calculate with his fingers.

However, the next second,

his face turned instantly pale, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

"Sigh, my level is too low..."

4.4 Qi Tianchen gave a bitter smile, then flicked his horsetail whisk lightly, and his body drifted down from the top of the pavilion.

A young Daoist saw the blood at the corner of Qi Tianchen's mouth and was shocked: "State Preceptor, you... what happened to you?"

"It's nothing."

Qi Tianchen shook his head, then slowly said: "I will be away for a few days. If His Majesty comes to ask, just say I went to offer congratulations."

Offer congratulations?

The young Daoist was stunned: "Who in this world is worthy of you, State Preceptor..."

However,

before he could finish his sentence, he found that Qi Tianchen's figure had already disappeared.

Chapter 279: Why don't you save one for me too?

"Cough, cough~ Jiang Chen, what did Senior Sister mean just now? Could it be that you really have a way to help Qianluo and the others quickly improve their strength?"

Sikong Changfeng coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment.

To tell the truth,

even if Yao Yue's talent was strong, as the dignified Spear Immortal of Northern Li, being beaten to the Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm by her was still a bit embarrassing.

If I had known, I wouldn't have come!

But at this moment,

Sikong Changfeng was clearly more concerned about what Li Hanyi had just said.

His wife had passed away, leaving only this precious daughter, Sikong Qianluo.

However, he also knew about his daughter's talent; breaking through to the Carefree Heaven Realm should be no problem, but wanting to reach the Great Carefree Realm, or even the Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm, was basically impossible if nothing unexpected happened.

And once he broke through to the Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm, his lifespan would greatly increase.

Every time he thought of this, Sikong Changfeng sometimes even felt that breaking through to the Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm didn't seem so important anymore.

After all, if his daughter were gone in the future,

then living in this world alone would have no meaning.

In Sikong Changfeng's eyes, his daughter Sikong Qianluo was worth more than everything.

"Oh my, Father, if you hadn't said that, I would have almost forgotten."

Sikong Qianluo hurriedly looked at Jiang Chen and asked with full expectation: "Junior Brother, your medical skills are so amazing, is there really any way to help us speed up our cultivation?"

"There is, but not for the time being."

Jiang Chen didn't beat around the bush and said with a smile: "Do you remember those medicinal herbs I asked Hua Jin and the others to search for? That's what I plan to use to refine pills that can improve aptitude. But they haven't been fully gathered yet, so you'll have to wait a while longer."

"Are there really pills that can improve aptitude?"
