Outside the courtyard, there were a few extraordinary-level auras. Even though they had already retracted their auras, they were still as obvious as bonfires in the dark night.
The people who came were the director-general in charge of the Imperial Guards and two senior members of the Martial Alliance.
The Imperial Guard was an organization responsible for infiltration, surveillance, and capture, especially against experts.
The news of two Void Treading Stage powerhouses appearing in the capital city went through many levels of reporting and finally reached the hands of the Imperial Guard.
Furthermore, it was the Black Armored Army soldiers stationed at the city gates. Their words carried little weight, so the news was not taken seriously. Tang Yu and Fanny's aura had been restrained, and it was too perfect. The Imperial Guard in charge of surveillance hadn't discovered them.
There were no surveillance cameras, and there was no Skynet. If not for the Immortal Gate attracting attention, the Imperial Guards would not have been able to find this courtyard in a short period of time.
The director-general stood outside the courtyard and paused for a while. He frowned. "There's no Void Treading expert. There's only the aura of an ordinary person inside."
"You've hidden … too deeply."
Having two Void Treading experts of unknown identities in the Great Chang's capital was not good news.
They pushed open the door, walked through the courtyard, and saw Tang Yu brewing tea at the stone table under the tree in the courtyard.
"What about the other Void Treading expert who was with you? Forget it, come with us. We want to know about you, including information about your immortal sect. "
The director said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Tang Yu frowned slightly. This wasn't the result he wanted.
The director-general saw that he was still sitting there, but he didn't stop making tea. He took a step forward, and the aura of an experienced Ethereal Treading expert surged forward.
Whoosh ~
The strong wind swept up the leaves in the courtyard and slammed against the windows. Only the person sitting on the stone chair and the tea set on the stone table remained motionless.
"Although the Void Stepping realm is a top expert, when you come to the capital, you have to follow the rules of the capital …"
He had seen many of these wild people who thought that they were extraordinary after making the great leap through the dragon's gate in the hundreds of years he had been on the throne.
In the end, he still had to join the Martial Alliance and work for it …
Just as this thought appeared in his mind, an even more terrifying aura rose.
In the courtyard, the weather changed.
Lightning arcs danced in the air, filling the air with a scorching aura that could even make one's soul feel hot.
Outside the courtyard, it was calm and tranquil, as if it had been divided into two worlds.
The head of the Imperial Guards broke out in a cold sweat.
It wasn't the Void Treading realm, but the Unity realm!
Void Treading experts possessed terrifying destructive power, but they, the Imperial Guard Envoys, had the ability to nip the threat in the bud.
But the Unity realm was different!
How many Unity realm experts did Great Chang have? This was the country's top combat power!
As the chief of the Imperial Guard Envoys, he was even clearer about the 'undying characteristic' of the Unity realm. If a Unity realm expert went berserk, even if multiple Unity realm experts attacked at the same time, they wouldn't be able to stop it instantly.
How could there be a wild Unity realm expert?!
"I, no, sir, please forgive my offense."
He didn't even dare to wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead. He bowed in fear and trepidation.
"I came with Great Chang's sincerity. I hope Your Excellency can make a trip to the Imperial Guards."
…
On the way to the Imperial Guard Envoys in a luxurious carriage, one of the Transcendent ranks left in advance.
Half an hour later.
A few powerful auras approached.
Among them, there were two Rank 2 Transcendents, the Unity realm experts that Da Chang mentioned.
"I see. Sir, you're from the south of the Heaven Moat Mountains. I know that the Heaven Moat Mountains is the territory of exotic beasts. The living conditions there are worse. I wonder if you're interested in working in the Martial Alliance?"
From the Imperial Guard Platform, one could see the scenery of the imperial capital.
The Great Chang VI, Qin Guangyue, said with a faint smile.
Tang Yu was naturally uninterested.
However, he had learned quite a bit of information that piqued his interest from the Great Chang monarch.
This region was known as the Mountain Sea Great World.
It was an extremely vast world, one that even the Great Chang monarch did not know its limits.
It was roughly divided into a few regions.
To the south was the endless Heaven Moat Mountains, to the far west was the endless sea, to the north was the ancient Grotto-heaven, and where Great Chang was — the Mystic Cloud Plateau.
Great Chang only occupied the southernmost corner of the Mystic Cloud Plateau, adjacent to the Heaven Moat Mountains.
As for the Heaven Moat Mountains, it wasn't filled with danger. However, the regions with high Genesis Qi concentrations in the mountain range were occupied by exotic beasts. Only some desolate lands were relatively safe.
The few stable black rifts that connected the Anxia Kingdom were the desolate lands that Qin Guangyue mentioned.
On the Mystic Cloud Plateau and the islands of the endless sea in the far west lived countries and tribes of various sizes like Great Chang.
Not all of them were humans, or it could be said that humans were in decline. They were only a small portion of the many races.
"Our Great Chang is the only human country in a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers. However, to our east, there are dozens of werewolf tribes. The gnolls have been restless recently, so I can only station troops at the borders to guard against them."
"There's no need to mention the exotic beasts in the south. In the west, there is a group of harpies. Those fellows are even more barbaric than the gnolls. Just like those exotic beasts, harpies are only female and not male. However, they enjoy plundering young human men with high talent and bringing them back to their nests to breed. Generation after generation, the number of harpies increases and their strength becomes increasingly terrifying."
The Great Chang monarch sighed. "Be it the gnolls, the harpies, or the exotic beasts, they have quite a number of existences at the Void Treading realm or even at the Unity realm. It's not easy for us humans to survive in the cracks. I sincerely hope that you can take up a post in the Martial Union. My Great Chang's treasury also has many treasures that are beneficial to the cultivation of Unity realm."
He had used the bribe and emotional card, but Tang Yu was not from the Mountain Sea Great World.
There was no need for emotions.
Just as he was about to say something …
Suddenly …
Boom!
A thunderous explosion sounded in the sky as the ground seemed to quake.
Tang Yu looked up as though he had sensed something. The distant sky seemed to have opened a hole.
It wasn't that the sky had been penetrated, but that the Great Chang imperial capital's defensive array had been activated. It was like a gigantic bowl that was placed upside down on the Great Chang imperial capital.
However, an opening had been blasted through the middle of the bowl.
According to his understanding of the combined array, even if a hole was blasted through, it could rapidly 'heal.'
However, the array's barrier seemed to be restrained by something. A circular hole about twenty meters in diameter was stuck there. In the middle of the hole was a figure. It had a face like an eagle and a sharp beak. Its back was covered with reddish-brown wings that spanned four to five meters. Its hands and feet were clearly shaped like hooks.
It was a harpy!
Tang Yu could see the obvious lump on the harpy's chest. However, rather than calling it an alien, it was more accurate to call it a mutated beast that walked upright. These harpies did not even have basic attire.
However, they were extremely powerful. There were three harpies at the Unity realm!
One of them held an unknown treasure that restrained the defensive array while the other two swooped down at speeds as fast as streams of light.
Many Transcendents in the imperial capital soared into the sky but were sent flying moments later.
Qin Guangyue and the other Unity realm expert no longer had the time to say a word. They transformed into streams of light that charged at the two harpies.
Meanwhile.
A Unity realm expert soared into the sky from the imperial palace. The defensive array rapidly activated as a guardian phantom raised its sword high and slashed at the harpy.
Boom!
The harpy did not dodge. Her shattered body instantly recovered to its original state as she swooped down at an even faster speed. With a swipe of her eagle claws, more than ten young men were grabbed high into the sky by a hand formed from Origin Energy.
Following that, the harpy soared into the sky.
Tang Yu was alarmed. They had caused such a huge commotion just to capture a few stallions?
It could only be said that they were indeed a race that prioritized reproduction.
The Great Chang's ruler and company were very anxious. However, they were concerned about the damage they would cause to the imperial capital. Secondly, the harpies did not care about being injured. Their goal was very clear. They wanted to abduct the most talented young elites of the human race.
Tang Yu did not take action. All he did was watch the show as a bystander.
But soon.
He could no longer laugh.
Among the young elites that had been abducted, there were disciples from immortal sects.
It was Cao Xinghua.
What the hell!?
