The vast northwest of the continent was a place where mountain ranges and grasslands coexisted. In the same country, there were endless mountain ranges and vast plains.
The Tian Luo Kingdom was undoubtedly one of these typical countries.
However, the capital of the Tian Luo Kingdom was built in a place where the terrain was accessible. Not far from the capital, there were small undulating mountain ranges. It was only after thousands of years of development that the current landscape gradually became accessible.
After a month's journey, He Yiming and the others finally arrived at the most important capital of the Tian Luo Kingdom.
When He Yiming got out of the carriage and looked at the tall city wall, his heart was filled with emotions.
If someone had told him three years ago that there would be such a huge change in the past three years that even the Tian Luo Royal Family had to respectfully invite him, he would definitely not have believed it.
However, everything that had happened in the past three years had indeed unknowingly allowed him to reach an unimaginable height.
He suddenly had a strong urge to see Shui Xuan Jin as soon as possible.
"Mister Xue," He Yiming called out loudly.
Xue Lie, who was at the front of the group, immediately rushed over and shouted from afar, "Master He, what are your orders?"
"I would like to see your master."
Xue Lie was startled. Wasn't He Yiming's purpose in coming to the capital this time?
He bowed slightly on the horse and said, "Master He, don't worry. We will enter the city now and rest in the Imperial Manor for a day. Tomorrow morning …"
"I would like to see your master now." He Yiming interrupted him indifferently.
Xue Lie's face immediately revealed a trace of hesitation. Master He was so anxious to see his master. Could there be a reason that he did not know?
He Yiming looked at him with a faint smile and said, "So, Mister Xue doesn't want to introduce me?"
Xue Lie gritted his teeth and said, "Since Master He insists, I will naturally comply."
At this moment, Yu Xiaoyi was also alarmed and came in front of them. After hearing He Yiming's request, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
He Yiming had long known that these Innate Rankers were all unreasonable fellows. At first, he had thought that He Yiming was an exception. Now, it seemed that he had just concealed it better.
Giving Xue Lie a look, Yu Xiaoyi said, "Grandmaster He, since you want to see Grandmaster Shui as soon as possible, then please ask Mr. Xue to take you there. As for Mr. He Quanxin and the others, how about I take care of them?"
He Yiming pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly and turned his gaze to Xue Lie.
Xue Lie had no choice but to leave the convoy and head towards the city gates. He Yiming whistled and the Red Silk Horse immediately came out from the group. He Yiming jumped up and landed on the horse's back.
Without waiting for his urging, the Red Silk Horse had already followed closely behind Xue Lie's horse.
The more time he spent with the Red Silk Horse, the more He Yiming liked it. Furthermore, this horse was almost intelligent, and the tacit understanding between the two of them grew.
However, the more it was like this, the more He Yiming was grateful to Luo Xin.
He must find an opportunity to repay the favor of giving him this horse in the future.
Not to mention Taicang County, even the Fire Crow Country that He Yiming had been to before paled in comparison to the prosperity of Tianluo City.
There were pedestrians on every street, and merchants could be seen everywhere.
Yu Xiaoyi had once said that although Tianluo Country wasn't as powerful as the Three Great Countries, it was still considered one of the top countries in the entire Northwest region.
Looking at it today, these words weren't exaggerated at all.
On the streets, almost all the pedestrians were walking along the sides of the streets. The two roads in the middle that could be used by horses were actually empty.
Xue Lie spurred his horse and galloped on this road without any obstructions. He Yiming immediately understood that these two roads should be used by people with power and influence.
Of course, these roads could only be used on the main roads in the city. If it was in some narrow alleyways, then it would be impossible.
Suddenly, a series of unbridled laughter came from the front. Then, more than 20 steeds galloped over.
Although Xue Lie was also galloping, this was the city after all, so he still controlled his speed to a certain extent. However, these people were galloping over without any fear, as if this wasn't the country's capital, but some boundless wilderness.
Seeing the other party's horse galloping over and about to collide with Xue Lie's horse.
The expression of this Postliminary Stage Ten inner strength expert changed slightly, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. Without seeing how he moved, he had already fallen off his horse.
His feet touched the ground, and he suddenly stretched out his hands, slapping forward.
The speed of the wild horse was extremely fast, and it rushed over in an instant. His raised palms just happened to hit the horse's head.
In an instant, the two horses in front suddenly felt as if they had been struck by lightning. It was as if they had hit an iron wall, and were forcibly blocked.
Xue Lie's strength was very clever, and there was a trace of rotating force in his palms. The two horses immediately fell to the ground, but their mouths were still neighing, and they didn't die from this palm.
He Yiming looked on from the side and praised in his heart. Killing a wild horse with one palm was not difficult for a Stage Ten inner strength expert. However, to stop the horse without harming its life, that was not an ordinary difficulty.
The two horsemen on the horse were clearly cultivators of inner strength. Although it happened suddenly, their reaction was extremely fast. They immediately pressed on the horse's head, and it immediately flew up.
The people behind them all turned pale with fright. They all reined in their horses, and one after another, they cursed.
He Yiming frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Xue, who are these people?"
Xue Lie quickly turned around and said respectfully, "Grandmaster He, please forgive them. They are the young masters and young mistresses of several aristocratic families in the capital. They are a bit arrogant, but they definitely didn't deliberately offend you."
At this moment, a furious voice sounded, "You two, where did these bastards come from? How dare you block our way? Do you know who we are?"
These young masters and young mistresses weren't idiots. After seeing Xue Lie's skills, they immediately understood that this person's martial arts cultivation was unfathomable, and was not something they could compare to. Therefore, they didn't dare to make a move, and only shouted from afar.
Xue Lie's face darkened. His figure suddenly flew up and arrived in front of that person at lightning speed. He stretched out his hand and slapped him eight times in a row.
That person was horrified. He shook his head and wanted to dodge, but he soon realized that no matter how he dodged, it was useless. Moreover, from the other people's point of view, it looked like he took the initiative to stretch his face out for Xue Lie to slap him. He looked battered and exhausted.
After the eight slaps, Xue Lie's figure instantly returned to his original spot.
His attack this time was truly like a ghost, as fast as lightning. By the time those people reacted, the eight slaps had already been delivered, and Xue Lie had returned to his original spot, as if he had never moved at all.
The young master who was hit groaned in pain. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, along with more than ten bloody teeth.
Xue Lie's eight slaps actually knocked out all of his teeth.
Instantly, the faces of these young masters and young mistresses turned pale. No one dared to curse anymore.
At this moment, as long as one had the slightest bit of intelligence, they knew that they couldn't suffer any more losses.
After Xue Lie finished slapping, he glanced at He Yiming from the corner of his eye. However, he saw that the latter was expressionless as if he didn't take this matter to heart. He couldn't help but feel relieved.
The reason why he was ruthless and frightened these young masters and young mistresses was because he was afraid that these people would be ignorant and offend He Yiming through their words. If He Yiming really got angry and killed all of them, it would immediately cause a huge uproar and make countless enemies in the city.
Of course, with his identity as an Innate Expert, no one dared to provoke him. However, since these young masters and young mistresses dared to let their horses gallop on the main road, they naturally came from influential families.
If both sides became enemies, then their thousands of plans to invite He Yiming to the capital to be the nation's guardian would be completely ruined.
After a moment of silence, He Yiming felt bored and said, "Mister Xue, let's go."
Xue Lie was instantly overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Yes."
He didn't get on his horse and just led it forward with large strides. Wherever he went, the young masters and young mistresses immediately drove their horses away in panic, leaving a large path in the middle. Even the young master who had lost all his teeth covered his swollen cheeks and retreated to the side. However, there was incomparable resentment in his eyes as he stared closely at Xue Lie.
He Yiming urged his horse forward and followed Xue Lie through this path.
After they passed, someone finally stood out and cupped his hands, "I'm Zi Ruiwen. May I know your name?"
Xue Lie didn't even turn his head and said loudly, "I'm Xue Lie. Ask your family's elders if you deserve to be beaten."
The Young Masters and Young Mistresses were startled at first, then their expressions changed drastically. The original resentment and resentment in their eyes instantly disappeared and was replaced by a trace of fear.
Zi Ruiwen asked with a trembling voice, "Are you Senior Xue Lie of Shaoming Residence?"
Xue Lie laughed out loud and ignored him. He went straight away.
Only when the two of them were far away did the young masters and young mistresses let out sighs of relief. They looked at the young man who was beaten again with a trace of luck.
That person covered his cheeks, but his eyes were full of fear. At this moment, even if he was given two more guts, he didn't have the slightest desire for revenge.
Suddenly, several shouts were heard in front of them, and dozens of soldiers from the city ran over quickly.
When they arrived and saw the young masters and young mistresses on their horses, they immediately stood still. The leader seemed to recognize Zi Ruiwen and immediately went up to curry favor with him, "Young Master Zi, I heard that someone offended you. May I know where this person is? Let me capture him and punish him severely."
Zi Ruiwen and the others looked at the soldier captain with a strange expression.
Although they knew that this person was flattering them and wanted to use this opportunity to get on the good side of the young masters, expecting him to capture Xue Lie …
Zi Ruiwen smiled gently and said, "Thank you for your kindness. May I know your name?"
The person's smile immediately became more flattering. He said, "This lowly one is Zhang San. It's my honor to serve you, young master."
Zi Ruiwen pointed ahead and said, "The person who offended us went that way."
Zhang San's eyes immediately flickered with a fierce light. He waved his hand and said, "Brothers, follow me to capture the criminal."
The soldiers behind him responded and followed Zhang Sanzheng, preparing to move out.
Zi Ruiwen suddenly said, "Captain Zhang San, I know this person's name too."
Zhang San hurriedly stopped and asked, "Young Master Zi, who's the criminal?"
"This person's name is Xue Lie."
"Xue Lie, right? Don't worry, I guarantee that no matter how fierce the person is, he won't be able to resist me once he's in my hands … Eh, Xue Lie? That name sounds familiar. "
Zi Ruiwen kindly reminded him, "You should remember this person. He's from Shaoming Residence."
Zhang San's face immediately turned pale. He said bitterly, "Young master, please excuse me. This lowly one will take his leave now."
With that, he turned and left, not mentioning the criminal at all. The soldiers behind him looked at each other in dismay, but they could only follow closely behind.
Everyone felt a little better as they watched him leave in a sorry state.
Suddenly, someone asked, "Brother Zi, who's the person next to Xue Lie?"
Another person said, "They should be his nephews."
"It doesn't seem like it." The first person said, "I saw that Xue Lie was unusually respectful to that young man, as if he was a junior bowing to a senior. How could he be his nephew?"
The second person was speechless at first, then argued, "Given Xue Lie's status, why would he bow to a young man? You must've seen wrongly."
The first person hesitated. To be honest, it was too chaotic earlier. Coupled with the fact that he was being pointed out, he immediately hesitated. Perhaps he really did see wrongly.
However, Zi Ruiwen's face changed slightly, "Not good."
Everyone asked. Zi Ruiwen smiled bitterly, "I heard that Xue Lie went to Taicang County with His Highness the Crown Prince a month and a half ago."
Everyone was stunned at first, then their faces turned pale. If this was true, then wouldn't the one following behind Xue Lie be the legendary person who wasn't even 20 years old?
Thinking that they might've just had a conflict with this person, everyone was immediately annoyed.
They originally planned to go out of the city to hunt, but after encountering such a thing, how could they have the heart to play?
Zi Ruiwen shook his head slightly and sighed, "Everyone, today's matter can't be concealed. After we go home, let's tell the elders and prepare to be grounded. If we don't do well, we might even be beaten. "
The faces of the young masters and young ladies were all ashen. However, they only secretly complained about how unlucky they were today to have met such a person who should not be provoked. None of them thought about whether they should be galloping wildly on the road.

"Mister Xue, your name is still very prestigious in the Tian Luo Kingdom," He Yiming joked with a smile.
The matter just now was not enough to make him angry, but it was no big deal to casually tease him.
Xue Lie's face showed a trace of embarrassment, and he carefully said, "Master He, this is not because of Xue Lie's reputation, but because of Teacher's reputation."
He Yiming laughed involuntarily, "Since those people are the young masters and young ladies of the various residences, why don't they recognize you?"
Xue Lie smiled bitterly and said, "Grandmaster He, ever since this Xue became Master's disciple, I've been diligently cultivating. I don't like to participate in banquets and such. Over time, I don't know anyone."
He Yiming nodded slightly, "You're right. If you don't practice martial arts wholeheartedly, you can't have any achievements."
When Xue Lie heard this, he could not help but feel the same way. Although his talent was not bad, to be able to have today's achievements and be known as the number one person below the Xiantian in the Tian Luo Kingdom, it was all because he practiced diligently and did not relax for a single day.
After passing through a few more streets, the number of pedestrians gradually decreased, and the terrain became higher and higher. It turned out to be a small towering slope.
Finally, Xue Lie stopped. He Yiming raised his head to look. On the huge castle-like building, the three words "Shaoming Residence" were clearly written.
When the door opened and they entered, He Yiming focused his gaze.
In the entire castle, as far as the eye could see, there were carvings and waterside pavilions. The pavilions and terraces were built according to the mountain. The surrounding walls undulated like waves, surrounding a pool of water that gently rippled. It was natural, harmonious, and elegant.
He Yiming took a deep breath. He Yiming's heart suddenly surged with a refreshing feeling.
If he could live in such a place for a long time, it would indeed cleanse his heart and make him not want to be tainted by the mortal world.
Moreover, he also faintly felt that the effect of cultivating in this place should be much better than in the He Clan Manor.
He wondered if he should find a place with beautiful scenery and build a castle like this in the future. If it was really built, his parents and siblings would definitely love it.
Although he had not officially met Shui Xuan Jin, the expectations in his heart seemed to have increased by another layer.
Suddenly, He Yiming felt something in his heart.
He turned his head and saw a person sitting in one of the pavilions. Looking from afar, he actually gave him an unusually bleak feeling.
However, just as this feeling rose, He Yiming's gaze changed.
This was because he had already realized that although this person was sitting there, he gave off a feeling that he had completely integrated into the surrounding environment. This feeling was as if he was no longer there and had become a part of the surrounding scenery.
The unity of heaven and earth had actually reached this level.
Xue Lie was about to lead He Yiming in when he suddenly realized that Master He was quietly staring in a direction as if he had forgotten about him.
He was surprised and turned his head to look. A familiar figure was instantly imprinted in his eyes. He immediately understood the reason.
He sighed softly. He knew that he would never be able to hope for this realm in his life.
Xue Lie tiptoed out of the room and waved all the servants away.
A meeting between Xiantian Realm powerhouses was definitely not something that they were qualified to participate in. Since that was the case, it was better to leave this place.
