Tang Yuewu suddenly closed her book. Then, she had an idea and said, "Zhou Yang, I take back what I said before. You can marry other women and let them fight you on my behalf. Anyway, you can't hit me. If you want to hit someone, hit Sister Ding Mei or Sister Magpie Girl …"
"Zhou Yang, you have to bear with it. I'm your disciple, not your woman. If you dare hit me, I'll fight you to the death." Ding Mei said nervously. Although she really wanted to experience what was going on, it was impossible for her to actually do it. Moreover, they were high up in the sky.
Zhou Yang silently recited the Meditation Mantra. After ten minutes, he stabilized his Qi and blood. Then, he decisively entered the Infinite Space.
Ever since his last epiphany, his vision had expanded to the whole world. The Infinite Space would give him a whole new world.
What he needed to do now was perfect this world.
Four days passed in the blink of an eye. The four finally arrived at the imperial city.
High up in the sky, there was a huge city lying between two mountains. If one looked closely, one could see that there were waves of auspicious light above the city.
"Legend has it that the royal family is protected by the stars in the sky. It's indeed magical."
Ding Mei sighed as she looked at the huge city below.
Zhou Yang nodded. The imperial city was indeed majestic and terrifying. In his opinion, the imperial city was more like a huge beast with a big mouth that swallowed everyone who entered the city.
"Flying is prohibited in the sky above the imperial city. Go down quickly, or you'll have to bear the consequences."
In the distance, a person riding a blood-red bird approached. His voice was filled with a strong murderous intent.
"That's the Dragon Guard's aerial cavalry. Let's go down quickly." Tang Yuewu patted Xiao Hei as soon as she finished speaking. The four landed on an empty space outside the city.
Even outside the city, it was very lively. There were many inns and taverns all around.
"Why is it the Dragon Guard again?" Ding Mei frowned.
Tang Yuewu shook her head and said, "Sister Ding Mei might not know, but the Dragon Guard has a total of five armies. Each army has two thousand people, and they belong to the four princes and the commander of the imperial guards, Chu Yunxiao."
"Who is this Chu Yunxiao? He can control the Dragon Guard?" Magpie Girl asked in surprise.
"Chu Yunxiao is the commander of the Imperial Guards, as well as the general of the Imperial City's defense. He only listens to the King's orders. The Chu Clan is also the only clan that can maintain a transcendent position in the Battle for the Crown Prince," Tang Yuewu explained.
"I see."
Zhou Yang nodded and sat down with Tang Yuewu and the others in a teahouse on the outskirts. They had traveled a long way and hadn't had a good sip of tea for several days.
"Have you all heard? Wei Chengyang, who was ranked 50th yesterday, has joined the Lin Family Martial Arts Hall. With this, the Lin Family will be able to maintain their ranking."
Just as Zhou Yang sat down, someone shouted.
"It's nothing strange. Now that the Martial Champion Competition is getting closer and closer, these rising stars who haven't joined the martial arts arena yet will join one after another. They can't wait any longer."
"That's true. Those who are ranked slightly higher are all eyeing the invitations from the three great clans. Those who are slightly lower also want to join the Chu clan, but it's not that easy to enter these four great clans …"
"Yeah, if it were me, I wouldn't have been able to wait. It's a pity that the top ten martial arts arenas don't like me. Next year, I'll definitely come again tomorrow."
The few of them talked loudly. Although they didn't reveal much information, it was enough to broaden Zhou Yang's horizons.
There were actually ten martial arts arenas in the Imperial City, and these ten arenas belonged to the top ten clans. Among them, three were extremely powerful, and they were the Xu, Zhao, and Yue clans.
The Chu clan was ranked fourth.
The remaining six clans had already joined forces in the battle for the crown prince position. They either belonged to Concubine Yun's faction or the Empress' faction.
"A bunch of ants discussing the life of a lion. They really don't know what they're talking about."
At this moment, a young man dressed in luxurious clothes walked over with two maids.
"Yuan Hongfei, he's Yuan Hongfei."
The crowd was in an uproar. Everyone had looks of envy and jealousy, especially when they looked at the two maids beside Yuan Hongfei.
Although these two maids weren't as beautiful as magpie girls, they were still considered beauties. In a place like the Imperial City, such beauties weren't something an ordinary person could have.
This meant that this young man was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Yuan Hongfei, ranked 93rd on the Rising Star List of the Imperial City. He's a disciple of the Li clan's martial arts arena. At the same time, he's also quite famous in the Star General Academy of the Imperial City's Institute of Martial Arts. The one before him is Xu Yechen," Ding Mei said, holding a booklet called "Rising Star List of the Imperial City."
"Where did you get this?" Zhou Yang asked in confusion.
"There was a peddler there just now. I spent a supreme-grade star jade on it."
"So expensive!"
Zhou Yang frowned. Not long ago, he and He Ben had risked their lives for a supreme-grade star jade in Border City.
But in the Imperial City, one supreme-grade star jade could only buy one book of the Rising Star List.
"Senior Brother Yuan, you're really a winner in life. I'm Yu Xiao, and I've just joined the Li clan's martial arts arena. Please take care of me, Senior Brother Yuan."
At this moment, a young man in black cupped his hands and said.
"Yu Xiao?" Yuan Hongfei shook his head and said, "I've never heard of you. The Li clan's martial arts arena has more than a hundred disciples, but only six are on the list. Do you understand?"
"This …" Yu Xiao was a little confused.
"I'm one of the six. You want me to take care of you? What about the other disciples? Do I have to take care of them too? You trash, always thinking of others taking care of you. If you're so capable, go and fight for the list yourself. "Yuan Hongfei glanced at Yu Xiao disdainfully.
Zhou Yang couldn't help but shake his head. This person was too disrespectful. After all, he was a disciple of the martial arts arena. How could he scold him in front of so many people?
As expected, Yu Xiao's face was already flushed with embarrassment.
"Boom …"
At this moment, there was another clatter of hooves. A group of dozens of people were sitting on mighty ferocious beasts. When they passed by the teahouse, they suddenly stopped and looked at Yuan Hongfei.
"You, get lost!"
A loud rebuke came from the burly man beside the leader of the group.
"Black Submerged Cavalry …"
Yuan Hongfei glanced at the ferocious beast that the man was sitting on and immediately stood up. He said, "I didn't know Senior Brother Hua was here. Please forgive me."
"Every time my young master comes back, he will come here to have a sip of tea. This is your seat." After saying this, the man turned around and looked at the leader of the group.
"I don't like crowds. That's the way to fight." The leader of the group did not turn around. He just sat on the black ferocious beast and looked at the city wall in the distance.
The man nodded and looked at the crowd. However, before he could speak, Yuan Hongfei shouted, "Did you hear that? Senior Brother Hua doesn't like crowds. Get lost!"
Seeing that even Yuan Hongfei was so afraid of the young man, the crowd did not dare to stay and immediately left. Only Zhou Yang continued to drink his tea.
