"What?"
Lu Ming was dumbfounded and shocked.
Moulins's father was actually a big shot in the Emperor Heavenly Divine Palace. This was completely out of his expectations.
Since Moulins's father was a big shot in the Emperor Heavenly Divine Palace, why would Moulins stay in the Mystic Essence Sword Sect and not cultivate in the Emperor Heavenly Divine Palace? The cultivation conditions in the Emperor Heavenly Divine Palace were definitely not something the Mystic Essence Sword Sect could compare with.
As if he had seen through Lu Ming's thoughts, Yan Lan continued, "Lan 'er's father is a big shot in the Emperor Heavenly Divine Palace. He is extremely domineering and arbitrary. Before Lan' er turned fifteen, she had always been in the Emperor Heavenly Divine Palace. However, her father kept her in check. Later on, without Lan 'er's consent, he arranged a marriage for her."
"The marriage partner was a peerless genius in the Emperor Heavenly Divine Palace. However, Lan 'er did not like him at all. Hence, she ran out of the Emperor Heavenly Divine Palace in a fit of anger and came to my place."
Yan Lan's answer dispelled many of Lu Ming's doubts.
Lu Ming understood. His invitation letter must have been obtained by Moulins after she returned to the Emperor Heavenly Divine Palace.
This also made Lu Ming even more worried. He said, "Did Senior Sister Moulins return to the Emperor Heavenly Divine Palace this time? Wouldn't she have to face the marriage? "
He did not know why, but when he thought of Moulins getting married to someone else, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
"That's right. In order to get that invitation letter, Lan 'er had already promised her father to stay in the Emperor Heavenly Divine Palace. Now, the only person who can save her and prevent her from getting married to someone she doesn't like is you!"
Yan Lan said.
"Me?"
Lu Ming was stunned.
"That's right. Lan 'er had once made an agreement with her father. Lan' er said that the person she liked would definitely be stronger than the genius in the Emperor Heavenly Divine Palace. Sooner or later, she would bring the person she liked to the Emperor Heavenly Divine Palace to defeat that genius and cancel the marriage. This person is you!"
Yan Lan looked at Lu Ming with bright eyes.
"Me? I …! "
Lu Ming's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
The person Moulins liked? Him?
Lu Ming's little heart immediately started beating rapidly.
He thought of the various things that happened when Moulins left..
Lu Ming took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He said firmly, "Dean, don't worry. I will definitely join the Di Tian Divine Guards, defeat that genius, and return Senior Sister Mulan's freedom!"
.....
...... That genius.... only.......................................................
"Martial King!"
Lu Ming's pupils shrank sharply.
.......................................................
..................
. Now.. Lu Ming was 18 years old. He was almost 19 years old. However, Lu Ming did not have the slightest confidence that he could break through the Martial King Realm at the age of 21.
He was indeed a peerless and terrifying genius. Compared to him, the geniuses of the Blazing Sun Empire, no. Even the geniuses on the Emperor Leaderboard were a pile of trash.
After a while, Lu Ming's eyes exploded with a strong fighting spirit and an unwavering will. He said, "Dean, don't worry. No matter how strong he is, I will defeat him sooner or later and set Senior Moulins free.".
"Alright. Lan 'er believes in you. I also believe in you. However, Lu Ming, with your current cultivation and combat strength, it will be very difficult for you to join the Di Tian Divine Guards. I hope you can make another breakthrough."
Yan Lan's eyes seemed to have a glimmer of hope.
After that, Lu Ming chatted with Yan Lan for a while. Then, he took his leave.
A day later, the news that Lu Ming had received an invitation to join the Di Tian Divine Guards spread among the upper echelons of the Mystic Essence Sword Sect and the Crimson Cloud Valley.
This shocked those who knew about it, but it was soon followed by ecstasy.
Although they were curious about how Lu Ming had received the invitation, this was not the main point. The main point was that Lu Ming could participate in the Di Tian Divine Guards' selection, which gave them a glimmer of hope.
At this time, the preliminaries of the thirty-six countries of Emperor Yun were getting closer and closer. It was time to depart.
Lu Ming bid farewell to Lu Yuntian and Li Ping.
As for Qiu Yue, she said that she had not seen Lu Yuntian and Li Ping for a long time and wanted to stay by their side to take care of them. Lu Ming naturally agreed.
As for Xie Nianqing, he wanted to go with Lu Ming. His reason was to see the geniuses of the thirty-six countries of Emperor Yun.
Two days later, Lu Ming, Xie Nianqing, Feng Wuji, and Ling Yanchi left the Mystic Essence Sword Sect and headed west.
Lu Ming did not bring the Golden Eyed Blood Zombie or Yan Quan.
Now was the time of the war. The Golden Eyed Blood Zombie and Yan Quan were important battle forces. If they left, it would be disadvantageous for the war.
Moreover, Lu Ming intended to leave the Golden Eyed Blood Zombie behind to protect Lu Yuntian and Li Ping.
The Cloud Desolate Empire was one of the eight mid-sized empires of the Cloud Emperor Mountain Range. However, it was strong and ranked first among the eight.
Therefore, the preliminaries of the Cloud Emperor Mountain Range were held in the Imperial Capital of the Cloud Desolate Empire.
From the Mystic Essence Sword Sect, they had to pass through eight empires. It was a journey of more than seven hundred thousand miles. It was a very long journey.
However, with everyone's cultivation, if they flew at full speed, it was still quite easy for them to fly ten thousand miles in an hour.
Including the rest time, they used five days to reach the Imperial Capital of the Cloud Desolate Empire.
The Cloud Desolate Empire was indeed the strongest empire of the thirty-six countries of Emperor Yun.
Just the Imperial Capital alone was more than ten times bigger than the Imperial Capital of the Scorching Sun Empire.
It was majestic and vast, with no end in sight.
On the city walls, rows of armored soldiers were patrolling. Lu Ming glanced at them and his eyes narrowed.
These armored soldiers were all Martial Grandmasters. Each of them had a powerful aura and their eyes were penetrating.
Lu Ming sighed inwardly. The strength of the number one empire of the Cloud Emperor Mountain Range was truly astonishing.
Walking through the city gate, it was incomparably spacious.
The street was two hundred meters wide. On the street, there were all kinds of beast roars.
Many people were riding on various mounts and strolling on the street.
Lu Ming even saw a martial artist riding a giant python that was more than thirty meters long and as thick as a water tank, strolling on the streets.
On both sides of the street, there were many shops.
Some of the spiritual weapon shops were shining with treasure.
Some of the spiritual medicine shops were filled with medicinal fragrance.
Lu Ming and the others walked and looked, exclaiming in admiration.
Along the way, they could see young warriors walking by from time to time. They were all dignified and had extraordinary auras.
One look and one could tell that they were dragons and phoenixes among men. They were probably here to participate in the preliminaries.
"Brother Lu, Brother Feng, Miss Xie, let's find a place to eat. We have been rushing for the past few days and haven't had a good meal. Our mouths are almost dry!"
Ling Yanchi rubbed his stomach and grinned.
"Alright!"
Lu Ming nodded.
The few of them walked for a while and arrived in front of a restaurant.
Drunken Pleasure Restaurant was the name of this restaurant. It was seven stories tall and covered an area of ten acres. It was incomparably spacious.
"Guests, please come in!"
