The Qilian Twin Devils traveled alone. They did not have any disciples accompanying them, and their master, Fan Shuo the Venerable, stayed in the Blessed Enclave.
After all, the Qilian Twin Devils were already Venerable Ones. No matter how thick-skinned Fan Shuo was, he was too embarrassed to accompany them to the Life and Death Realm.
However, it was their bad luck to encounter Chu Haozhou, who had reached the Five Qis Unification state, and fight with him on the way.
While everyone was traveling, the Qilian Twin Devils had repeatedly tried to ask Chu Haozhou, 108, and White Horse Lightning about their deeds. They were also very curious about their strengths. However, He Yiming would laugh perfunctorily every time they asked. When they finally arrived at Zhongjing City, the Twin Devils still had not figured out the foundation of Chu Haozhou and the others.
In their hearts, Chu Haozhou was at most an old Venerable One in the East Sea. They never thought that he would be a super powerhouse at the Five Qis Unification state.
With the Qilian Twin Devils as a guide, everyone's speed suddenly became much faster. Moreover, after this period of travel, He Yiming and 108 both confirmed one thing.
The Netherworld Sect did not continue to send people to track them. They seemed to have disappeared into thin air without a trace.
After a few days of travel, they finally arrived at Zhongjing City, the capital of the Great Shen Empire.
Looking from afar, it was a huge city.
The area occupied by the city was so large that even the Grand Divine Wind Palace was inferior to it.
The biggest difference from the Grand Divine Wind Palace was that there was a tall city wall around the periphery of the city. On the city wall, banners were fluttering, and soldiers in armor were patrolling constantly.
Even though they were a few miles away, He Yiming could feel a powerful majesty pressing down on him.
He turned his gaze. Other than 108 and Baozhu, who was sleeping soundly, the rest, including the Qilian Twin Devils and White Horse Lightning, seemed to show a hint of nervousness.
Chu Haozhou sighed and said, "Zhongjing is the capital of the Eastern Empires. Although it has changed many times, the power passed down from the millennium ancient city is still shocking."
He Yiming's heart skipped a beat. He asked, "Brother, have you been here before?"
Chu Haozhou nodded. "I came here when I just became a Venerable One, and I was also shocked by the grandeur of this city." He then smiled and added, "But it's still beneficial for a newly advanced Venerable One to feel the pressure from the ancient site that's been passed down for thousands of years."
The great devil also sighed and said, "Brother Chu is right. The two of us have been here many times in the past, but we have never felt this way before."
The two devils, who rarely spoke, nodded their heads repeatedly and said, "No wonder Master wanted us to come to the Central Capital before heading to the northwest. There was a reason."
As they spoke, their footsteps did not slow down in the slightest. As they passed through the main road, their auras were magnificent and there was a faint trace of pressure leaking out from them.
Everyone on the main road could not help but scatter to the side. Nobody dared to be within 3 meters of them.
He Yiming knew very well that the Twin Devils had deliberately released a bit of their auras. He Yiming had never disdained to put on airs in front of these ordinary people, but he also admitted that this could save him a lot of trouble.
Huo Dongcheng was gasping for breath as he followed the group. In this journey, He Yiming and the others maintained a very subtle speed. In order to keep up with everyone, Huo Dongcheng had already used up all of his strength. Moreover, after running for such a long time, he was already exhausted. The reason why he was able to hold on at this moment, other than the fact that he had swallowed a Golden Energy Pill along the way, was completely relying on his firm willpower.
The Qilian Twin Devils looked behind them intentionally or unintentionally. They admired the young fellow's determination and tenacity.
After knowing that he was Chu Haozhou's disciple, they could not hide their envy. Of course, they were not envious of Huo Dongcheng, but Chu Haozhou.
To be able to receive such a diligent disciple was definitely the dream of every Venerable One.
If they did not know that they could not compete with Chu Haozhou for a disciple, they would not hesitate to take him in.
He Yiming glanced at Huo Dongcheng, who was gritting his teeth, and said, "Brother Chu, when Dongcheng goes back this time, his internal energy cultivation will definitely improve by leaps and bounds. You have to rearrange his cultivation plan."
Chu Haozhou's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction, and said, "Don't worry, I already have a plan. I won't delay his important matters. But have you prepared the golden energy pill? If there aren't enough of it, Dongcheng won't be able to persevere under my training. "
He Yiming patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, there aren't many things in the Hengshan branch of the Heavenly Lake, but there are definitely a lot of golden energy pills. You can let him eat without worry."
While everyone was talking, they had already arrived at the city gate.
The chief guard of the city gate had long noticed this group of people. The most special one among them was naturally the White Horse Lightning.
A horse with a single horn was a rare thing, and it also made the person understand that it must be a rare spirit beast.
Those who could stay with spirit beasts were at least Innate Stage powerhouses. Recently, the biggest thing in the capital was to welcome the new Venerable Ones from all over the country. Therefore, the chief guard ordered someone to enter the inner city to report while he ordered everyone to disperse. He opened the city gate wide and respectfully welcomed He Yiming and the others in.
Although he was quite displeased that these people walked here instead of riding in luxurious carriages that represented their identities, he did not dare to neglect them from the beginning to the end, nor did he dare to open his mouth to ask anything.
If these eccentric people slapped him to death, then he would have died in vain. No one would stand up for a lowly official like him.
As soon as He Yiming and the others entered the city, the chief guard explained the history of the city gate and some far-fetched funny stories with a smile in front of them.
The Qilian Twin Devils and Chu Haozhou did not care about this, but He Yiming and Huo Dongcheng showed great interest.
This discovery made the chief guard energetic, and a series of stories flowed endlessly like a river. From various interesting things in the current dynasty to various rumors in the cultivation world.
He Yiming and Huo Dongcheng, who were young people, became more and more attracted.
Chu Haozhou and the Qilian Twin Devils looked at each other helplessly. He Yiming was too young, after all. His cultivation base in martial arts was far superior to that of ordinary people, but at certain times, he could not help but reveal the characteristics of a young person.
After a quarter of an hour, several luxurious carriages drove from the direction of the inner city and came straight in front of them.
As these carriages drove over, all the soldiers bowed to them, and the people avoided each other. However, there was not much hatred in their eyes when they looked at the carriages. Instead, they were full of excitement and admiration.
He Yiming pondered for a moment and immediately understood that the status of these carriages should be equivalent to the carriages used by the Master Hall of Kai Rong Country. That was why they had such a special status in the city.
Before the carriages came to a stop, a huge figure flashed down from the first carriage.
This person was tall and sturdy, but he was also extremely fat. His body was so large that it seemed to exceed the size of two normal people.
Before his feet touched the ground, he let out a deafening laugh. "Which friend has come from afar? Please forgive the Yu family for not welcoming you."
When the chief guard saw this person, he immediately ran over and knelt down to greet him.
He Yiming finally understood that this person's eloquent story was actually deliberately dragging him and the others here. He found it funny, but he was not annoyed. Instead, he looked at the familiar fat fellow with interest.
The Qilian Twin Devils stood up at the same time and greeted him with laughter. "Brother Yu, we haven't seen each other for decades. You finally got what you wanted. Congratulations."
The fat man laughed and said, "Ah, it's the 2 Devil Brothers. I … Hey, Brother He, you're here too."
The fat man was Yu Wuchang, who had reached an exchange agreement with He Yiming and Jin Zhanzheng in the East and West Great Plains. When he glanced from the corner of his eyes and saw He Yiming, the shock in his heart was indescribable.
He Yiming smiled and casually asked, "Brother Yu, it's only been 2 years. Are you that surprised to see me?"
Yu Wuchang quickly laughed and answered, "Brother He, you must be joking. I'm just surprised that Brother He has successfully become a Venerable One at such a young age, so I'm just a little surprised."
He spoke casually, but his back was already drenched in cold sweat.
The imperial family had once sent a grand elder to secretly assassinate He Yiming, but for some reason, the grand elder never returned, and there was no more news about him.
Moreover, the Divine Wind Palace later spread the news that He Yiming had become a Venerable One, causing a sensation in Great Shen in a short time.
Naturally, the imperial family was also shocked. They tried every possible way to inquire about it, but they still found nothing in the end. Furthermore, they were afraid of alerting the Divine Wind Palace, so they could only put the matter aside for the time being.
Nonetheless, most people had guessed that Grand Elder Li was probably doomed. If not, it would be impossible for there to be no news at all.
Having said that, they could not figure out how He Yiming, who had just become a Venerable One, escaped from Grand Elder Li's hands.
They even suspected that the Divine Wind Palace was behind this. Otherwise, it would not make sense.
Since Yu Wuchang had become a Venerable One, he naturally knew about this. Moreover, he knew that Grand Elder Li had only made the decision to assassinate He Yiming after asking for his opinion. Therefore, after seeing He Yiming in person, he was truly uneasy.
He Yiming shook his head slightly. He took a step forward and affectionately held Yu Wuchang's hand. At the same time, he condensed his voice and said, "Brother Yu, don't worry. Nobody will know that I've seen the 5 Elements Cultivation Technique."
Yu Wuchang was slightly stunned, and half of his biggest worry was instantly put down.
He laughed out loud, and his somewhat stiff expression returned to normal. He turned to look at Chu Haozhou and the others and asked, "Brother He, Brother Devil, where are these elites from? Why don't you introduce them to me?" (To be continued. If you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters.
