Compared to Qin Yichen's indifference, Gongshu Zhiyi and Lu Xiaoguan were stunned by the colossal structure in front of them.
The city walls were hundreds of meters tall, reaching into the clouds. The pitch-black color made it look as if it was made of metal, giving off an indestructible visual impact.
"Is this really the work of a human?"
Lu Xiaoguan muttered as he looked at the city walls that extended to an unknown distance.
"Haha."
Qin Yichen chuckled.
This was the capital of the Empire!
"Let's go."
He took a deep breath and led the two of them toward the Imperial City.
Due to the approaching Dan Province's General Assembly, the seven entrances to the city gates were crowded. Curses, cries, and quarrels could be heard amidst the surging crowds.
However, there were very few people at the middle entrance. It had been empty for a long time.
Even so, the people around it did not dare to cross it. They even left a wide path in the middle.
"Brother Yichen, why are we going in from there?"
Forced to line up by Qin Yichen, Gongshu Zhiyi pouted and complained with some dissatisfaction.
"Roar! … "
Just as Qin Yichen was about to answer her, a lion's roar was heard. Then, the crowd saw the shadow of a golden lion coming from afar. In the blink of an eye, it arrived at the city gates.
The lion was more than two meters tall. Its four giant hooves were like iron pillars. When it stepped on the ground, it made a loud noise. The most peculiar thing was that the lion's fur was golden. It looked as if it was burning with a layer of golden flames. It was extremely intimidating.
Moreover, the golden lion exuded an extremely ferocious aura. Even Martial King experts could not help but hold their breaths in concentration.
However, the most eye-catching thing was not the golden lion, but the figure on the lion's back.
It was a young figure. He was definitely not more than thirty years old. His eyebrows were straight and his eyes were bright. His entire body exuded a powerful and domineering aura. Even people who were far away could feel a sense of pressure.
"Mad Lion … Xing Yu Huan!"
Someone revealed the identity of this person. Following that, countless cries of surprise rang out from the crowd.
Mad Lion Xing Yu Huan was one of the most outstanding youths in the Imperial City.
Although he was not yet thirty years old, it was said that he had reached the level of Martial King four years ago.
It was said that four years ago, he had gone out to train and had never appeared again.
Now, Mad Lion was back!
It was obvious that he had made great progress again.
"It's said that something happened to the Xing Clan …"
"Shh, don't talk!"
In the crowd, some people whispered, but they were quickly stopped by the people beside him, as if they had touched on some taboo.
"Xing Yu Huan, Xing Yu Huan. is.
Qin Yichen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the figure on the golden lion. The corner of his mouth raised a shallow arc.
. Is, Is Is. Is...
This was because Xing Yuhuan was already the head of the Xing Clan when he came to the imperial city.
The Xing Family was a powerful family with unimaginable power within the Imperial City. Moreover, the head of the Xing Family was a hereditary Duke of the Imperial City!
Hereditary Duke!
From this point, one could see the Xing Clan's power. Even the Imperial Family had to use a hereditary Duke to win him over.
However, Xing Yu Huan … has a special identity. He has never been recognized by the Xing Clan.
He is the illegitimate son of the current head of the Xing Clan.
It is said that Xing Yu Huan's birth mother was only a farmer. Back then, the head of the Xing Clan went to war. After he was injured, he hid in a farm and met Xing Yu Huan. Xing Yu Huan was born, but Xing Yu Huan's mother died in childbirth.
Because of his identity, Xing Yu Huan's journey was full of ups and downs.
Even now, he is so outstanding. The Xing Clan did not officially recognize his identity.
In the eyes of the nobles, an illegitimate son is an illegitimate son!
"Calculating the time, the head of the Xing Clan will fall in the next few years. No wonder Xing Yu Huan returned to the Imperial City at this time …"
Qin Yichen muttered.
This is an opportunity!
He knew how much power the Xing Clan had in the Imperial City.
Right now, Xing Yuhuan didn't have any influence. If he could lend Xing Yuhuan a helping hand at this time …
As if sensing something, Xing Yu Huan, who had walked to the city gate from the middle tunnel, suddenly turned his head and looked at a certain spot in the crowd.
Over there, there was a boy even younger than him, who was giving him a faint smile.
He did not reveal any expression on his face. He merely swept a glance over the area before riding the giant golden lion into the Imperial City.
"Why can he enter from there?"
Gongshu Zhiyi was even more dissatisfied that someone could enter from that tunnel.
Qin Yichen could only smile wryly and pinch the space between his eyebrows.
Wasn't it obvious? That was prepared for the nobles of the Imperial City!
Moreover, it was for nobles with the title of Duke or above.
Without special permission, even ordinary marquises and counts could only pass through the tunnels on both sides.
Although Xing Yu Huan did not obtain a very high title, his talent and achievements were praised by the Imperial Family many times. Therefore, he was given this privilege.
However, in Gongshu Zhiyi's eyes, there was no such thing as nobility. There was only the strong and the weak.
No matter how dissatisfied she was, she could only continue to wait in line with Qin Yichen.
Fortunately, entering the city was not a cumbersome matter. As long as they paid the entrance fee, they could enter. There was no need to check their identity. Therefore, it only took about an hour for Qin Yichen and his party to enter the Imperial City.
After entering the city, they were greeted with all kinds of advertisements.
"Come and take a look at the Indigo Auction House's auction tomorrow. There will be all kinds of high-grade pills, spirit weapons, and mysterious treasures …"
"The Thousand Gold Company's auction will have high-grade pills refined by Master Sun Zheng …"
There were all kinds of advertisements, but most of them were advertisements for the auction.
Clearly, the Imperial City was at its busiest as the Dan Province Convention approached. However, this was also the time when the competition between the major trading companies and auction houses was the fiercest.
Outsiders should not be underestimated.
In fact, there were not many treasures that could attract the attention of the major factions in the Imperial City.
However, outsiders were different.
It was obvious that the pills, weapons, and anything else in the Imperial City were of a much higher grade than those in other places. Many people came from afar just to ask for a pill or a sharp blade. For this, they were willing to pay all their savings.
Just as Qin Yichen was about to find a place to stay, a call caught his attention.
"The Big Dipper Trading Company will be auctioning spirit pills, rare treasures, Flying Star Crystals, and other items."
