Chapter 401

Everyone listened carefully, after all, they were locals.

Xia Ba said this while taking out a map, pointing to a very obvious spot on it and saying:

"It's right here, Chang'an."

This name carried too much weight; almost everyone had heard of it.

Chang'an was, after all, the old capital of the Tianlong Dynasty.

Although the capital had now been moved to the Forbidden City.

Changancheng remained an extremely prosperous place, almost arguably the second-largest city in the Tianlong Dynasty.

"If you want to go to the East Sea Dragon Palace, you must pass through Changancheng!"

"Alright, then let's set off, to Chang'an!"

Wang Lufei was very excited; he was like a country bumpkin entering the city for the first time.

He had never been to these prosperous, major places of the Tianlong Dynasty before.

But Xia Ba's face revealed his difficulty.

The group also noticed his embarrassment.

It was clear that Changancheng was not so easy to enter.

"Chang'an is a very important city for the Imperial Court!"

"Plus, it is the old capital!"

"So, some Princes often appear there!"

Hearing Xia Ba's words, everyone looked at each other in dismay.

"So what if there are Princes! Is there a problem?"

Wang Lufei didn't take it seriously.

Just kidding, in this day and age, who doesn't have some background when wandering the Jianghu?

"Lufei, Princes are also members of the Imperial Clan!"

"And the Imperial Clan of the Tianlong Dynasty..."

【Are we finally going to come into contact with the core forces of the Imperial Court!】

【Previously, the background said the Imperial order had lost control and the dynasty was in turmoil, so what would happen between the Imperial Clan members?】

【Is there a possibility that the people of the Imperial Clan have already become puppets?】

【It's very likely; now the Cabinet holds almost all the power.】

【This trip to Chang'an will definitely be very exciting; when the time comes, I'll just slaughter two Imperial Princes for fun!】

【Then you'd probably be hunted down by the entire Imperial Guard!】

Xia Ba seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

But after struggling with his wording for a long time, he finally managed to spit out a sentence.

"They are not human!"

165 Come and take a look! You all have new titles again!

【What does that mean? Are the Imperial Clan all those kinds of monsters!】

【I think when he says they aren't human, he must be referring to their humanity.】

【The dynasty is in turmoil; what good could come from the Imperial Clan.】

【Are we finally going to step into the New World? It feels like the pacing has been sped up.】

【But there are still so many plot holes that haven't been filled!!】

【Forget everything else, I'm only concerned about what exactly happened to Wang Aisi right now.】

【I think, well, it's probably looking grim, because the author has already foreshadowed it several times.】

【That's right, whether it's Ma Diqi's rise to power or the life-lamp in Wang Lufei's hand, they have all signaled the outcome.】

【Don't say that, I really like this character.】

Changancheng.

As the former capital of the dynasty, it was absolutely beyond ordinary prosperity.

The Straw Hat Sect, who had already had their eyes opened in Nanyang, could not resist the prosperity before them now.

It was not as strict as they had imagined.

Changancheng was, on the contrary, more casual.

One could see the figures of several famous figures from the Jianghu.

It was evident that the Imperial Court's control over the Jianghu was one of indulgence.

Everyone seemed to have formed a tacit understanding in this city.

Wang Lufei and the others also let their guard down a little.

It seemed that this place did not reject them.

But thinking about it, that made sense; this was the only way to reach the New World.

Jianghu factions would definitely reach a balance here.

"I really lived the first half of my life in vain."

"So many silks and satins! And rouge and powder!"

Nami excitedly pulled Luo Bin Ke along.

The audience couldn't help but complain that shopping was a woman's innate nature in any era.

"Wuhu, what delicious food are they selling over there!"

The Straw Hat Sect, having just entered Changancheng, was extremely excited.

The level of prosperity here was indeed incomparable to ordinary places.

Everyone could find what they wanted to pursue.

But only Octopus Xia Ba, who was following along, was filled with worry.

At this moment, he was fully armed, disguising all the fish-man features on his body.

Once his identity as a fish-man was exposed in a human city, his fate would be extremely miserable.

Looking at the excited Straw Hat Sect, Xia Ba, though he couldn't bear to, still stepped forward to warn them:

"Everyone, listen to me for a moment!"

"Changancheng does not reject Jianghu factions."

"But because it is the former capital, you might encounter some idle Princes or even Imperial Princes."

"You must never have a conflict with people of the Imperial Clan!"

"Even if you see 21 people killed in the street, you must pretend you saw nothing!"

"Does everyone understand!"

Hearing Xia Ba's instructions, the members of the Straw Hat Sect calmed down from their excitement.

They keenly sensed that something was wrong.

【What does that mean? Why are they talking about the Imperial Clan like they are outlaws?】

【It should be about the same; if the Imperial Clan weren't trash, the dynasty wouldn't be this corrupt.】

【Could it be that the Imperial Clan dares to kill people in the street, aren't they afraid of inciting public anger?】

【You seem to have underestimated that feudal era!】

【The secrets of the Imperial Court are being peeled back bit by bit; it feels like this is a deformed country.】

"We understand!"

Wang Lufei nodded, patting his chest to guarantee it.

But no matter how the audience looked at it, they felt it was unreliable.

Once this kid gets worked up, he forgets everything.

"So that's how it is!"

"Then I've suddenly caught a disease where I'll die as soon as I enter the city!"

Puso, who had been longing for the prosperity, immediately retreated.

This sounded too terrifying.

Better to just honestly watch the chariot.

"Alright, then I'll go take a look around!"
