233: Chapter 232: Eternal Imperial Capital (5th Update) 233: Chapter 232: Eternal Imperial Capital (5th Update) Sky-flying Peng took Lin Bai and the others towards the Imperial Capital.
The warriors on the Ceyun Peak slowly left.
Watching the shadow of Sky-flying Peng gradually beco a black dot in the sky and then disappear, Su Cang’s sneer at the corner of his mouth beca even stronger.
After all the elders left, Qi Yang, the core disciple, approached Su Cang and said, “Congratulations, Young Sect Master, Lin Bai is bound for death on this trip.
Henceforth, no one in the Spirit Sword Sect will dare to challenge our Divine Alliance.”
Su Cang sneered, “Bah, Lin Bai is too arrogant.
With his cultivation at the Ninth Level of Earth Martial Realm, he is nothing more than cannon fodder in front of the geniuses of the Four Major Sects and the Shenwu Kingdom.”
“Qi Yang, you must imdiately go to the Imperial Capital.
If Lin Bai dies there, bring his head.”
“If Lin Bai miraculously survives, do not let him co back alive to the Spirit Sword Sect.”
Su Cang coldly instructed.
Qi Yang responded with a smile, “Please be assured, Young Sect Master.
I will go to the Imperial Capital imdiately and make sure to bring you Lin Bai’s head.”
With a smile, Qi Yang descended from the Ceyun Peak.
…
The Imperial Capital, a city where dragons and tigers lay year-round.
In the vast Imperial Capital City, there were five regions, respectively the East, Southeast, West, North, and Center.
East City was ho to most of the nobility, like kings and ministers.
For example, the Xu Family, being the current Pri Minister, was the hegemon of the East City, outranking all other official families.
South City was mostly inhabited by wealthy rchants and businessn.
For instance, the Li Family and Shang Clan, two of the Three Great Wealth God Families, had residences here.
West City was where the common people of the Imperial Capital lived, powerless and struggling under the rule of the Royal Family.
North City was a colorful place filled with brothels, black markets, music houses, gangs, and various other powers.
If one wished for entertainnt within the Imperial Capital, North City was an unavoidable location.
Center City, also known as the Imperial Palace, was where the current Royal Family of the Shenwu Kingdom resided.
Entry to the highly-guarded Imperial Palace was difficult for ordinary warriors, and this ti the Imperial Hunting Garden event will begin from there.
Also within the Imperial Capital, there was a place called “Qianlong Villa”, which was specifically set up for the Imperial Hunting Garden.
It only opened during the annual Year-end Tail Sacrifice of the Shenwu Kingdom to welco the elite disciples from the Four Major Sects.
Sky-flying Peng raced through the clouds for three days and three nights.
At dusk on the third day, it broke through the clouds and flew towards the Imperial Capital.
“Is that the Imperial Capital?”
Lin Bai and Zhang Lingdao opened their eyes on Sky-flying Peng’s back, standing up and gazing at the grand city on the distant horizon.
The city was splendidly constructed, covering millions of miles from north to south, housing hundreds of millions of residents.
Inside the magnificent city walls, a group of resplendent palaces imdiately caught Lin Bai’s eye.
That was the Imperial Palace inside the Imperial Capital, where the Royal Family resided.
Next, Lin Bai saw East City.
From the East City emanated an overwhelming warlike atmosphere; from afar, they could clearly see the nobles in East City, and the armies patrolling the streets day and night.
Then they saw South City, where wealthy rchants and rich businessn, followed by crowds of people, casually rewarded servants with thousands of spiritual stones.
Near North City, there was a smoky, miasma-filled area, filled with roars, even a public murder.
But the culprit was soon arrested by the army.
“This is probably the most magnificent city I’ve ever seen.” Zhang Lingdao said excitedly.
Lu Yun, Lin Bai, and Zhang Lingdao all stood on Sky-flying Peng, gazing at the Imperial Capital from a distance, a sense of admiration swelling in their hearts.
So grand, this is what a Martial Arts Empire should look like.
What were Lingxi City and Flying Dragon City compared with the Imperial Capital?
They were just like a country bumpkin.
Chen Gong had visited the Imperial Capital quite a few tis, but every ti, he was deeply taken aback by its grandeur.
Then he regained his usual deanor and said, “Everyone, please sit back.
We are about to enter the Imperial Capital.”
“Rember, the military patrols the Imperial Capital day and night.
Unless you have the privilege to kill, you must not kill within the Imperial Capital.
Otherwise, if caught by the military, even I cannot protect you.”
Chen Gong specifically reminded everyone.
“Yes.”
Everyone answered.
The Sky-flying Peng plunged out of the clouds and flew into the Imperial Capital.
“Let’s go directly to Qianlong Villa.
We arrived quite late, I wonder if the disciples from Canghai Yuntai Palace and the Fire Palace have arrived.”
Chen Gong sighed lightly.
He was indeed reluctant to go to Qianlong Villa.
Qianlong Villa was specially arranged to accommodate disciples from the Four Major Sects.
The Sky-flying Peng was flying low inside the Imperial Capital.
Many warriors looked up as the massive bird flew over the rooftops.
“This is the Sky-flying Peng…”
“The highly respected disciples of Spirit Sword Sect are here!”
“Haha, Spirit Sword Sect still dares to co and participate in the Year-end Tail Sacrifice?
Didn’t they learn their lesson last year?”
“Yes, they really dare to co!”
Many warriors recognized the Sky-flying Peng as sothing unique to the Spirit Sword Sect.
After their slight surprise, they started to mock.
Thus, within half an hour, the news of the Spirit Sword Sect disciples’ arrival in the Imperial Capital City spread throughout all five cities.
The Eastern Courtyard of Qianlong Villa is a huge square, specifically for the Four Major Sects’ disciples to park their flying devices.
The Sky-flying Peng landed in the Eastern Courtyard of Qianlong Villa.
Chen Gong and Lin Bai, among others, jumped off from the Sky-flying Peng one by one.
“Ah, I was wondering why the magpies were chirping non-stop on my roof this morning.
Turns out our old brother Chen Gong of the Spirit Sword Sect is here.”
No sooner had the Sky-flying Peng landed than a middle-aged man in a purple robe, with a friendly smile on his face, approached and greeted.
Chen Gong smiled and said, “Old brother Xu Changfeng, how have you been?”
“I’ve been well.” Xu Changfeng approached and began a friendly conversation with Chen Gong.
Lin Bai and the others fell silent at the back.
Lin Bai looked around.
Qianlong Villa was exceptionally elegant.
The air was filled with refreshing fragrances.
Musicians were playing pleasing tunes around the clock.
In a low voice, Lu Yuan said to Lin Bai, “This is Xu Changfeng, he’s in charge of Qianlong Villa.
What he says here, goes.
Each year, Xu Changfeng is the one who welcos the Four Major Sects as well as warriors from other families here.”
“Oh.” Lin Bai nodded.
Xu Changfeng and Chen Gong chatted animatedly, as if they had known each other for many years.
After a while, Xu Changfeng glanced at Lin Bai and the others behind Chen Gong and said, ” You need to be careful.
The Canghai Yuntai Palace and the Fire Palace have already declared that in this year’s Imperial Hunting Garden, if Spirit Sword Sect dares to co, not a single one of them will leave alive.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Gong’s face darkened.
He looked gloomy and said, “What?
Have the Canghai Yuntai Palace and the Fire Palace already arrived?
Which disciples ca?”
“They arrived three days ago.
The disciples who ca, hehe, are not to be underestimated…” Xu Changfeng said with a aningful smile.
