Ren Yingying stood by Du Shaofu's side, holding Little Xingxing in her arms. She did not say anything.
Even when Du Shaofu agreed to go to Chu Jiang City, Ren Yingying did not say anything.
However, his gaze would occasionally sweep past Chu Jiangcheng and the others. His bright eyes were filled with slight ripples that were filled with coldness.
After a while, Gu Xinyan, Ghost Child, Guo Shaofeng, Wu Que, and Tang Wu sat cross-legged on the back of the White Jade Heavenly Goose.
Officer Qin had been enthusiastically chatting with Du Shaofu and Ren Yingying. It seemed that he wanted to find out the relationship between the two and Gu Xinyan's group. More importantly, he hoped to find out the two's origins.
Unfortunately, Ren Yingying did not care about Officer Qin. She was holy and cold, completely different from the fierce female bandit image she had in the past few months.
It was obviously impossible to get any information out of Du Shaofu's mouth.
In the end, Officer Qin had no choice but to give up. A strange look flashed in his eyes.
After Du Shaofu, Ren Yingying, Officer Qin, and the others left, no one dared to step into the valley.
Feeling the inexplicable pressure in the air and the wreckage on the ground, everyone's eyes trembled and their hairs stood on their backs.
If they had participated in the encirclement, they would have ended up the same way.
Chu Jiang City, a vast city that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Looking from afar, a vast silhouette occupied one's line of sight.
Noises could be heard from afar in the air.
In the big city, it was bustling with noise and bustling with people.
Chu Jiang City was even more lively than the Stone Dragon Empire's imperial capital, Dragon City. It was also much larger than Chu Jiang City.
"The Young City Lord is back!"
"He should have captured those five people. The Young City Lord personally went out."
"In order to capture those five people, it was said that many Martial King Realm experts were involved. Those five people are worth five low-grade Dao Tools."
The White Jade Heavenly Goose flew past in midair. Countless figures below Chu Jiang City raised their heads and looked at each other. Many of them looked at the white-robed young man with envy and reverence in their eyes. Many of the women's hearts were fluttering.
"Brother Qiao Feng, we're here."
The Chu Jiang Imperial Palace was vast and occupied within Chu Jiang City. It was dazzling in gold and jade, majestic and continuous.
In the vast plaza outside the Chu Jiang Imperial Palace, the White Jade Heavenly Goose circled low in the air, and everyone jumped down one by one.
"Where are the two people I'm looking for?"
Du Shaofu's gaze swept across the Royal Palace of Chujiang as he asked Qin Guan directly.
"Brother Qiao Feng, don't worry. I will arrange it as soon as possible. Everyone, please enter the Chu Jiang Imperial Residence and relax for a while."
Officer Qin wore a smile on his face. He was gentle and modest, and his long and narrow eyes were filled with smiling ripples.
"Alright."
Du Shaofu nodded and didn't refuse, and he followed Officer Qin directly into the Imperial Estate.
The interior of the Chu Jiang Imperial Estate was grand and magnificent. The pavilions, ponds, and waterside pavilions were all reflected within the green pines and green cypresses, the green vines, green bamboos, and many exotic flowers and plants adorned it.
Du Shaofu followed Officer Qin and waited until they arrived at a side hall in the Chu Jiang Imperial Residence. It was ancient and rather quiet.
This side hall seemed to be quite a distance away from the center of the Chu Jiang Imperial Residence.
"Brother Qiao Feng, all of you must be tired from the journey. Why don't I arrange for everyone to rest in their rooms first?"
Officer Qin spoke to Du Shaofu and the others in the side hall, and his gaze had always been intentionally or unintentionally landing on Ren Yingying, Gu Xinyan, and Wu Que.
"There's no need. We'll just wait here."
Ren Yingying spoke, yet she didn't look at Officer Qin.
"Alright. Everyone, please wait for a moment. If there's anything you need, just instruct the servants outside. I'll take my leave first to make arrangements."
Officer Qin smiled lightly as some fluctuations were concealed in his eyes. After that, he bid farewell and left.
"Chi …"
As Officer Qin and the others left, Ren Yingying raised her eyes slightly. As she waved her slender hand, a starlight rune spread out and enveloped the side hall.
Gu Xinyan, Wu Que, and Ghost Child's eyes moved. They knew what she meant. The walls must have ears.
"There's a Martial Royal Realm cultivator here."
After setting up the seal, Ren Yingying looked at Du Shaofu and said, "I can only vaguely sense that the aura is extremely obscure."
Du Shaofu smiled slightly and said, "Are you talking about the one behind Officer Qin, or the other two in the Chu Jiang Imperial Residence?"
Hearing that, Tang Wu, Ghost Child, and Guo Shaofeng's eyes trembled. So there was a Martial Royal Realm expert behind Officer Qin, and they didn't know about it and couldn't detect it.
What shocked Guo Shaofeng, Ghost Child, and Tang Wu even more was that there were two other Martial Royal Realm experts in the Chu Jiang Imperial Residence.
A lineup of three Martial Royal Realm experts was much more powerful than an empire.
The thought of three Martial Royal Realm experts made Ghost Child, Guo Shaofeng, and Tang Wu's hair stand on end.
"One should be at the Mysterious Level of a Seven-Star Talisman Master, and the other should be at the peak of the Mysterious Level of the Martial Royal Realm. Their auras are very obscure. If they hadn't released their auras to spy on us, I wouldn't have sensed it."
Ren Yingying looked at Du Shaofu and raised her eyebrows slightly. She said, "Do you think they'll really let him go?"
Hearing that, Du Shaofu's eyes flashed with coldness. Then, he smiled faintly and said, "Let him go? How can it be that simple? Officer Qin asked us to come here because of you. He didn't keep an eye on you along the way. I think I'll make a mask for you. What do you think?"
"Cut the crap. Let's be serious."
Ren Yingying glared at Du Shaofu and said, "Why don't we just capture Officer Qin and exchange him? It's even more disadvantageous for us now that we're here. That Martial Royal Realm expert shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"
As they listened to the conversation between Qiao Feng and Ren Yingying, the three Martial Monarchs didn't seem very serious. They seemed to have planned to capture Officer Qin and deal with the Martial Monarch who had just ascended to the Martial Monarch Realm.
"Huff … Huff …"
Ghost Child, Gu Xinyan, and Wu Que couldn't help but inwardly gasp.
"That Martial Royal Realm expert shouldn't be a problem, but I'm worried about Officer Qin. That person isn't simple. Maybe he has some trump cards. If he escapes … "
Coldness flashed in his eyes. Du Shaofu had already thought about capturing Officer Qin and exchanging him.
However, the General and Li Yuxiao were in Chujiang City. If anything happened to them, the consequences would be unimaginable. Du Shaofu had to be cautious.
"Then what do you plan to do now?"
Ren Yingying understood and looked at Du Shaofu. Little Xingxing, who was in her arms, raised his little head and looked at Du Shaofu with his golden eyes.
"We'll take it one step at a time. If they let him go obediently, then everything can be discussed. If not, then we can only make them hand him over themselves!"
As soon as he finished speaking, coldness shot out from Du Shaofu's eyes. An invisible chill spread out from his body, making Gu Xinyan and the others beside him tremble.
"Thank you for your help. We'll thank you in advance. We'll definitely repay your kindness in the future."
Gu Xinyan walked out gracefully and bowed to Du Shaofu and Ren Yingying. Her eyes were as pure as autumn water. As she lowered her head, her long eyelashes formed a beautiful arc on her face that had recovered some redness.
"Thank you. We'll definitely repay your kindness in the future."
Ghost Child, Wu Que, Guo Shaofeng, Tang Wu and the others stepped forward and cupped their fists. The two people in front of them did not know each other, but they had helped them so much. The five of them were grateful.
Du Shaofu looked at the five people in front of him. They had all reached the Martial King Realm. Gu Xinyan had reached the peak of the Martial King Realm and was a Six Star Talisman Master.
The five of them must have had their own fortuitous encounters in the Central Region in the past two years. They must have experienced many dangerous situations to temper themselves.
"No need to be so polite. If anything happens later, remember not to be too far away from us." Du Shaofu said to the five of them. It was not the time to tell them his identity yet.
Knowing that everyone was safe and sound, Du Shaofu felt much more at ease.
Gu Xinyan, Ghost Child, Guo Shaofeng and the others looked at each other. They looked at the mysterious young man and the holy woman in front of them and felt a sense of deja vu.
The five of them even felt a sense of familiarity, but they could not recall it. They could only feel puzzled in their hearts.
However, Guo Shaofeng and the others already had a lot of trust in the man and woman in front of them.
Whether or not they could save the general and Li Yuxiao depended on the mysterious young man and the holy woman in front of them.
"Official Qin is an inner disciple of Yuheng Hall. He has a strong background. Yuheng Hall is one of the Seven Star Hall."
Ren Yingying said to Du Shaofu. She knew that Du Shaofu was going to the Seven Star Hall this time.
"Yuheng Hall!"
Du Shaofu murmured. His master, the Revered Weapon, had said that more than 1,300 years ago, his master's best friend, the Hall Master of Yuheng Hall, took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. That was why his master's Primordial Spirit left his body and escaped to the Dark Forest. His physical body was most likely still in Yuheng Hall.
"We'll have to come into contact with Yuheng Hall sooner or later. I just never thought we'd meet so soon."
Du Shaofu said meaningfully. He had a feeling that he would have many interactions with Yuheng Hall in the future.
Afterwards, looking at Gu Xinyan, Ghost Child and the others, Du Shaofu said, "Let's rest for a while first. I think that even if they want to release them, it'll take a while."
Several people sat in a small hall within the royal estate of Jiang Chu. The atmosphere was rather gloomy.
Their presences were concealed. Most of their presences were rather gloomy, which seemed to be of the same origin as Ghost Child's.
