Heavy snowflakes fluttered in the sky like goose feathers. Under the howling of the cold wind, the snowflakes swirled in the air, then quietly drifted down, sprinkling over the bustling Imperial City.
The Gate of Heavenly Mystery, after experiencing a war that changed the entire structure of the Light Wind Empire, this previously inconspicuous plaza became extremely important, and was heavily guarded by countless soldiers.
Originally, the Gate of Heavenly Mystery was one of the main routes to enter the Main Hall of the Imperial Palace. However, after the war, this main route was directly changed by Ji Chengxue's order. In the future, all those who entered the Main Hall could not pass through the Gate of Heavenly Mystery, but would instead enter from the Gate of Supreme Harmony on the west side of the Gate of Heavenly Mystery.
Not because of anything else, but because the Double Calamity Dragon Head Array was actually hidden in the Gate of Heavenly Mystery. Back then, that array had suppressed all the experts of the sects.
Such an important array was located in the Gate of Heavenly Mystery. As the emperor, Ji Chengxue naturally had to protect it well. However, the Gate of Heavenly Mystery had a different meaning to the Imperial Palace. Ji Chengxue could not completely seal it off, and some large-scale events would still be held on the Gate of Heavenly Mystery.
On the long streets of the Imperial City, an upright elder walked slowly with his hands clasped behind his back.
Heavy snowflakes fluttered down, whistling up and falling on his body, but were blocked by an invisible air current.
"How many years has it been since I returned to the Imperial City of the Light Wind Empire, and Emperor Changfeng has actually fallen. The world is unpredictable, and the blue sea turns into mulberry fields." The Ghost Chef's wrinkled face was filled with nostalgia. He looked at everything around him and sighed softly.
Emperor Changfeng was a wise ruler, and the Light Wind Empire developed rapidly under his leadership, causing many experts of the sects to cower under the majesty of the empire.
"It's a pity that the peace and tranquility of the empire will not last much longer. Once the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree bears fruit, the experts it will attract will not be something the sects can compare with. At that time, this Imperial City … will once again descend into chaos." The Ghost Chef sighed.
He had just come out of Bu Fang's restaurant. He had to admit that Bu Fang's restaurant was amazing. The taste of the dishes was something that even he had to praise. Moreover, Bu Fang was able to make the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree's seed mature and germinate. This was simply unbelievable.
The Ghost Chef still remembered the scene of him being pressed to the ground by a strange force of pressure at the entrance of the store. Even though he was unintentionally pressed to the ground, he was clear in his heart that Fang Fang's Little Store was able to exist peacefully in a place like the Imperial City where crooks mixed with honest folk. Furthermore, its dishes were still so expensive. Naturally, it had its reasons.
It was impossible to rely solely on Bu Fang's cultivation level of fifth grade Battle-King. In the Ghost Chef's opinion, perhaps the trump card of Fang Fang's Little Store was a seventh grade Battle-Saint? Or an existence of a higher level?
To be able to take him by surprise, Bu Fang's trump card might be that of an outstanding seventh grade Battle-Saint, but so what? Once the news of the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree got out, it would not just be one or two seventh grade Battle-Saints that would gather …
The Tianxuan Gate was right in front of him. The Ghost Chef continued to move forward with his hands behind his back.
"Who goes there!"
The number of guards guarding the Gate of Heavenly Mystery had already increased by a lot. Upon seeing the Ghost Chef's figure, they immediately shouted.
The wrinkles on the Ghost Chef's face suddenly twitched, revealing a hint of a smile. He took a step forward, and his whole person instantly swept past like a phantom, disappearing before the eyes of the guards.
As he stepped on the thick layer of snow on the Gate of Heavenly Mystery's plaza, the Ghost Chef raised his eyes and gazed into the distance, taking a deep breath.
"Double Calamity Dragon Head Array … is it here?" The Ghost Chef looked at the stone pillars on the plaza, his gaze focused.
Suddenly, the sound of something piercing through the air came from behind him. A tall and sturdy figure stood proudly in the blue dome of heaven.
Xiao Meng slowly landed on the Gate of Heavenly Mystery's plaza. Looking at the tall and sturdy elder in front of him, he slightly cupped his hands and said, "Senior, long time no see."
The Ghost Chef turned his head and his gaze fell on Xiao Meng. He smiled faintly and said, "The kid from back then, has now also stepped into the realm of seventh grade Battle-Saint. Your talent, is indeed extraordinary."
"Thank you for your compliment, senior. His Majesty invites you to enter the main hall for a chat." Xiao Meng faced the Ghost Chef, still as respectful as ever.
"Very well, this old man also wants to see how the new emperor who has inherited the Eternal Wind's throne is like," the Ghost Chef said lightly.
...
Wildlands, central area.
A melodious spirit beast howled. Almost all the spirit beasts in the Wildlands stopped moving, then stretched out their heads, as if listening to the howl of this spirit beast.
Rumble!
The low bushes were suddenly crushed by a huge figure, trampling them to pieces. The ground trembled, and the surface of the small puddles trembled.
Rumble! The figure of a huge spirit beast emerged. This was a male lion with fiery red fur. Two sharp fangs protruded, like two sharp longswords.
This was a seventh grade spirit beast, the Fire Lion. It was an extremely violent spirit beast, and its battle prowess was formidable.
On the back of this Fire Lion, there was actually a figure sitting cross-legged. That figure was tall and proud, with delicate features. He wore a fiery red robe, and between his brows was a smear of vermilion.
This was a handsome man, who was not lacking in wildness. He lightly patted the Fire Lion's head and chuckled, "Finally, we have the chance to leave the Wildlands. Lil 'Fire, are you happy?"
Roar! The Fire Lion raised its head and howled, as if in response to this man.
"Haha, don't be anxious. I've brought Lil 'Water and Lil' Thunder along. When the time comes, I'll let you guys come out for a breather. But now you have to hurry, our destination is … the Light Wind Empire!"
The man in red said gently as he stroked the Fire Lion's fur.
The seventh grade Fire Lion was naturally very intelligent. It turned its head and dashed away at lightning speed. The man in red sat on the lion's back and suddenly let out a carefree laugh.
Not long after the man disappeared, a team of three similarly mounted spirit beasts appeared. There were both men and women in this team, but there was no doubt that the aura on their bodies was extremely terrifying.
"The Young Temple Master ran too fast …" A woman in red said with a bitter smile as she looked at the figure that had long disappeared.
"The Young Temple Master's Fire Lion specializes in speed. It's normal that we couldn't catch up. But there's no need to worry. With the Young Temple Master's cultivation and the existence of the Fire Lion, the possibility of danger is very small," another man in red said.
"Our three temples of the God of Barbarians have all sent people to the Light Wind Empire. What exactly happened? Why did they mobilize such a large force? "
"It's said that the High Priestess predicted that an opportunity would appear in the Imperial City of the Light Wind Empire. She even ordered the Young Temple Masters of the three temples to head there to search for it. I'm also very puzzled. What kind of opportunity could there be in a mere Light Wind Empire, and in the Imperial City at that, for the High Priestess to send three Young Temple Masters at the same time …"
...
"Master, are we going to look for Owner Bu directly?" Tang Yin was carrying a sword and riding a unicorn. He looked at the majestic Light Wind Empire Imperial Palace and turned his head to speak to Ni Yan, who was wrapped in a loose robe.
Ni Yan was holding a huge spirit fruit in her hand. As she ate, juice splattered everywhere. Her beautiful face swelled up and her cheeks puffed up.
She mumbled a few words and directly pointed at the Imperial City. She took the lead in patting her horse's butt and headed toward the Imperial City.
Tang Yin helplessly looked at his gluttonous master and urged his unicorn to follow after her.
Tang Yin did not know the purpose of coming to the Imperial City this time. However, Ni Yan said that there was an opportunity for him, so he followed along.
However, coming to the Imperial City was also good. He could taste Owner Bu's cooking again.
...
After sending off the last customer, Ouyang Xiaoyi stretched her tired body. After bidding farewell to Bu Fang, she returned to her Ouyang Manor.
Bu Fang glanced at the fluttering snow in the sky. He lightly exhaled and closed the door.
After closing the store, Bu Fang went to the kitchen. He opened the cupboard and rubbed his chin. He looked at the three seventh grade spirit herbs that were overflowing with spirit energy and began to ponder.
It was time to start brewing a better wine than "Dragon's Breath".
