In the Great Chang Dynasty, although there were many exotic beasts and bandits living outside the range of the major cities, it was generally peaceful.
The dynasty was at its peak. Most of the Transcendent beasts in the territory had been wiped out in the past ten thousand years.
Only two mountains in the west and northeast of the dynasty were marked as danger zones on the map. He guessed that there were Transcendent beasts there.
It was very likely that they weren't ordinary Transcendents.
The two of them flew much more easily than Fanny's exploration.
Fanny was very careful when passing through the Heavenly Moat Mountains. According to her, she could even sense the aura of domain-level beasts from afar.
The flying beasts in the Great Chang Dynasty were only at the Awakened level. The two of them emitted wisps of Transcendence aura, and those beasts fled in panic.
After flying for several hours, Tang Yu wasn't bored.
As a lord with his own territory, he was equivalent to a walking wifi. He could contact his followers within the territory in seconds no matter where he went, and didn't need to be delayed by several seconds like Fanny did to him.
Naturally, he could also use his tactical watch to connect his consciousness to the mental space.
He split a wisp of his consciousness to 'review' a few newly developed games in the mental space. Soon, the outline of the Great Chang Dynasty's capital appeared on the distant horizon.
The towering city walls stood tall, and the city gates that could accommodate eight carriages were wide open. Caravans and pedestrians came and went on the dirt road outside the city.
As they approached …
Tang Yu sensed that there was an invisible barrier in the sky above the capital.
It was a combination formation that had the functions of 'defense' and 'killing.'
His eyes lit up.
Flying from the southernmost Si Shui County to the northernmost Great Chang Dynasty's capital, they passed by two major cities. The two cities also had defensive formations set up, but they looked very crude. With the Eye of Insight, he could find dozens of loopholes.
The other small cities and county cities were even worse.
Apart from the Awakened ones who were at the Great Perfection or Transcendence level, the county cities' living standards weren't much better than the Great Xia Dynasty's ancient times.
There was rune equipment, but it was rather outdated.
The Black Armor Army Commander had a C- grade saber at best, and the others only had a D grade. The craftsmanship was very crude.
Overall, it couldn't compare to the Aino Kingdom.
However, the combined array formation in the Great Chang imperial capital left him alarmed.
The data of the Eye of Insight flashed quickly in his eyes, and the combination formation was gradually dissected in his eyes.
The huge barrier that enveloped the entire capital was currently in a 'secondary activation' state. It could only isolate attacks below the Extraordinary rank. However, Tang Yu had no doubt that as soon as he and Fanny passed through the barrier, they would immediately attract the attention of the formation.
"A fully activated formation would probably be able to defend against the attack of a rank 2 exotic beast. Furthermore, while blocking the attack, the barrier would absorb a portion of the external energy and condense it into an explosive shockwave to counterattack."
It was at least five to six levels higher than the formations of the other major cities.
He wasn't confident that he could sneak into the capital without alerting anyone.
So..,
The two of them descended from the sky, passed through the forest, and walked on the main road to the capital.
Both of them wore black cloaks and bamboo hats. Fanny's furry wolf ears were hidden under the hat and black veil.
He took out two rune swords of ordinary quality and hung them on his waist.
His attire was no different from the warriors of the Great Chang empire.
The closer they got to the capital, the more they could sense how prosperous it was. It was on a completely different level from the other cities.
From afar, they could sense the surging auras in the city.
The soldiers stationed at the city gates were Black Armored Army, the most common army in the Great Chang. However, the two captains were at the Perfected realm, while the rest of the soldiers were at the Condensing Origin realm. The guards and warriors of the caravans that passed through the city gates did not dare act rashly.
"Hand over the Martial Alliance certificate?"
A Black Armored Army soldier glanced at the two and said with a deadpan expression.
The Martial Alliance.
It was an organization established by the Great Chang empire to manage itinerant warriors. It did not exist in the Great Chang empire. Without resources or cultivation treasured lands, no matter how high an ordinary person's talent was, their growth was limited.
Unless … they submitted to the imperial government.
In a world with Extraordinary powers, the pyramid had long been solidified.
However, there were many warriors, and there was no lack of ordinary experts among them. The Great Chang empire used the Martial Alliance to manage itinerant warriors, hunt exotic beasts, and purge bandits …
This information was provided by the Black Armored Army commander, and some of it was guessed by him.
"We come from a village and have yet to apply for a Martial Alliance certificate."
"No certificate?"
The Black Armored Army soldier's expression immediately turned cold as he shot a glance at the two. "If you don't have any certificate, then stay by the side obediently …"
Before he could say the word 'go', the Black Armored Army soldier suddenly jolted as a cold Qi surged into the sky.
Instantly, the world seemed to distance itself from him. He found himself in an ice-cold abyss as everything around him sank into darkness.
After what seemed like a long time, but also like an instant, the Black Armored Army soldier snapped back to his senses.
The sun was bright, and behind him was a towering city wall. In front of him were two cloaked warriors with eyes as deep as the abyss.
It was … the aura of a Void Treading expert!
Even his identity as a Black Armored Army soldier was useless. His eyes were filled with fear as he hurriedly changed his words. He stuttered, "It … It's not a big problem if you don't have any certificate. There's … there's a specialized organization in the capital. Just walk straight after you enter and turn left. You'll see it two streets later …"
Tang Yu nodded slightly.
As he watched the two figures disappear into the crowd, the Black Armored Army soldier's back was already drenched in cold sweat. His legs were trembling as he held onto the wall and walked to the side before squatting down.
It was a melancholic feeling.
The other two Black Armored Army soldiers exchanged puzzled looks. "Doesn't Wu Goudan usually like to make things difficult for those warriors? Why is he so agreeable today?"
…
"Lord, what do we do next? Are we heading straight to the imperial palace?"
"There's no rush. Let's observe first. We have plenty of time. Besides, it's not easy for us to come to an alternate world. Furthermore, it's a bustling capital city. It wouldn't be right if we don't try the local delicacies."
On the way to the capital city, he had already built a sub-territory in a mountain valley.
Now, he could advance and retreat as he pleased.
He wanted to learn a lot from the Great Chang empire, but compared to coming to them himself, he might as well wait for them to come.
Presumably, the Great Chang's ruler would not allow two Void Treading realm (Transcendental First Order) experts to roam the capital.
After taking a look, the duo entered an inn named Intoxicating Fragrance Inn. They ordered more than ten dishes and did not choose a private room. Instead, they sat in the main hall.
The inn was huge, and two-thirds of the hall was filled. Many of them were warriors dressed like them. There were also some Black Armored Army soldiers or people dressed in azure-colored armor.
They were likely the Azure Mystic Army.
Tang Yu had heard that it was an army that only existed in large cities. They were more elite than the Black Armored Army.
The Black Armored Army typically only had D-grade weapons. As for the peak ninth Firmament Azure Mystic Army soldiers, they had C-grade battle sabers and D-grade armors. The difference was obvious.
"Darn it. The Jackal race in the east is getting restless again. We might be transferred there next week. Our days will be tough."
"I heard that many villages in the southern Heavenly Moat mountain range have been destroyed. Those mutated beasts are stirring again. Will there be a beast horde?"
"A beast horde? It hasn't happened in centuries. Besides, our Great Chang has been increasing in number over the past centuries. If there is a beast horde, it will just be an additional meal for us. "
The moment he released his perception, the voices clearly entered his ears.
As expected of the imperial capital. The sources of information far exceeded that of a small county city like Sishui.
Before the dishes were served, he had already constructed an outline of Great Chang and the surrounding environment in his mind.
