"Your Young Master?"
Lu Ming was stunned.
Who would invite him? Could it be another student of the General Hall?
Lu Ming frowned, wanting to reject.
The old man smiled, "Young Master Tianyun, you don't have to be in a hurry to reject. My Young Master said that he is an old friend of yours!"
"Old friend?"
Lu Ming was even more puzzled.
How could he have any old friends in the Imperial Capital?
Suddenly, Lu Ming thought of a person, Hua Chi.
But he was in disguise now, changing his name to Tianyun, how could he be Hua Chi?
Lu Ming was very curious.
"Alright, I'll go with you!"
Lu Ming thought for a moment and nodded.
"Please!"
The old man smiled.
Lu Ming and the old man left the General Hall. There was already a luxurious carriage waiting at the entrance of the General Hall.
The horse in the carriage was not an ordinary horse, but a flood dragon horse. It had a strong physique, a horn on its head, and was covered in scales.
It was said that the flood dragon horse had the bloodline of a flood dragon and could travel ten thousand miles in a day. It was an extremely precious mount.
And this carriage was pulled by three flood dragon horses.
The owner of the carriage was definitely not ordinary.
After boarding the carriage, the coachman shouted and the carriage rushed out like a whirlwind.
Lu Ming sat in the carriage, it was very stable and did not feel the slightest bit bumpy.
The old man sat opposite Lu Ming, not saying a word, and closed his eyes to rest.
Soon, the carriage stopped.
"We're here, Young Master Tianyun, please!"
The old man opened his eyes and smiled.
Lu Ming nodded and walked down the carriage, but he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
They stopped at a wide square, and there were many carriages parked in the square. Each carriage was very luxurious, and the ones pulling the carriages were mostly strange beasts.
In front of the square, there was a very majestic building, with high walls and dazzling gold and jade.
On the high walls, at the entrance, there were rows of armored soldiers patrolling, each of them emitting a strong aura.
"This is the Imperial Palace!"
Lu Ming's eyes flickered as he was slightly taken aback.
"Young Master Tianyun, please!"
The old man raised his hand and said.
"Who is your Young Master?"
Lu Ming frowned and asked again.
The old man smiled gently and said, "To be honest with you, Young Master Tianyun, my Young Master is the current Eighth Prince!"
"Eighth Prince?"
Lu Ming was surprised, he had never heard of the Eighth Prince.
"Young Master Tianyun, please!"
The old man said again.
"Alright!"
Lu Ming's heart stirred as he spoke.
Regardless of whether he was the Eighth Prince or not, he would meet him. Lu Ming was not a timid person.
Following the old man, he easily walked through the palace gates and headed inside.
The Imperial Palace was simply too big. There were countless pavilions, terraces, and pavilions.
Armored guards patrolled back and forth, and the place was heavily guarded.
Lu Ming could faintly feel that there were many powerful auras hidden within, like sleeping dragons. Once they erupted, it would be extremely terrifying.
Lu Ming's heart trembled. It seemed that the Imperial Palace was not as weak as the rumors said. They were still powerful and should not be underestimated.
Following the old man, Zhang Xuan wandered around for some time before finally arriving at a residence.
The courtyard was very big, and hundreds of flowers bloomed, their fragrance filling the air.
In the middle of the courtyard, there was a small lake. The lake water was clear, like a mirror.
There was a pavilion beside the small lake. At this time, there were a few exquisite dishes and wine on the jade table in the pavilion.
In the pavilion, a slender figure wearing a purple dragon robe with a jade belt around his waist stood there.
He had his hands behind his back, his back facing Lu Ming and the others. He looked at the small lake, as if he was thinking about something.
The old man came to the back of the figure, bowed and said, "Your Highness, Young Master Tianyun has arrived."
The figure moved slightly, as if he had reacted, and then slowly turned around.
"Hmm?"
When he saw the person's appearance, Lu Ming's pupils shrank.
Hua Chi, this person was Hua Chi.
Hua Chi was the Eighth Prince?
Wasn't the Imperial Palace surnamed Hua?
However, there were so many people with the surname Hua in the world. He had never thought that Hua Chi would be a member of the Imperial Palace, let alone the Eighth Prince.
"Lu Ming, long time no see!"
The eighth prince said with a smile on his face.
Lu Ming was startled, then he cupped his fists and said, "Eighth Prince, I'm afraid you've got the wrong person. My name is Tianyun, not Lu Ming."
Hua Chi smiled and said, "I was there when you fought with Bai Chi yesterday. Lu Ming, you can hide it from others, but how can you hide it from me?"
"Especially your temperament during the battle, how can others imitate it?"
Lu Ming smiled bitterly.
Although he had disguised himself, Hua Chi was too familiar with his expression and voice, so it was difficult to hide it.
Crack crack …
Lu Ming's body wriggled, his bones moved, and his body returned to normal. He then wiped his face, revealing his handsome face.
"Hua Chi, I didn't expect you to be the Eighth Prince of the Blazing Sun Empire!"
Lu Ming said with a smile.
"So what if I'm the Eighth Prince?"
Hua Chi sighed, then waved his hand and said, "Lu Ming, come, have a seat, let's have a drink!"
The two sat opposite each other, and Hua Chi poured Lu Ming a cup of wine.
Lu Ming did not hold back and drank it in one gulp.
"Lu Ming, I've heard about you. The Mystic Essence Sword Sect is really disappointing!"
Hua Chi drank a cup and sighed.
"Haha, what's there to be disappointed about? I'll destroy the Duanmu Family sooner or later. As for you, as the Eighth Prince, I really don't understand why you're in the Mystic Essence Sword Sect?"
Lu Ming laughed and asked.
Hua Chi was silent for a long time before he sighed.
"Lu Ming, I'm sure you know about the history of the Imperial Family and our current situation?"
Hua Chi said.
Lu Ming nodded.
"The Imperial Family of the Blazing Sun Empire used to be so powerful that even the five major sects had to tremble in front of them."
"Unfortunately, the royal family suffered a great loss due to the internal strife. The sects rose to prominence, especially the Shifang Sword Sect. They were so ambitious that they took control of the former emperor. They used the name of the rightful ruler to rule the world. That was how they rose to prominence so quickly. In the past 800 years, they dominated the Burning Sun Empire and became the most powerful sect."
"However, the Imperial Family is the true Imperial Family and we can't be controlled by a lowly sect like the Shifang Sword Sect!"
At this point, Hua Chi's eyes flickered with a shocking light. It was a kind of persistence and conviction.
But then he sighed and said, "Unfortunately, the people of the Blazing Sun Empire only know about the five major sects. Almost all the geniuses have been recruited by the five major sects."
"So the Imperial Family established the Star General Hall to cultivate their own forces?"
Lu Ming's eyes flickered as he asked.
"That's right!" Hua Chi replied.
"It's so obvious that the Shifang Sword Sect doesn't know about it?" Lu Ming asked.
"Of course the Shifang Sword Sect knows about it, but maybe they don't care and think it's useless."
"There's another reason. The Imperial Family isn't weak and the Shifang Sword Sect doesn't dare to go too far."
Hua Chi said.
"They don't dare to go too far? With the Shifang Sword Sect's current strength, it shouldn't be difficult to destroy the Imperial Family, right? "
