An uneventful night.
Wu Ming and Lin Xin Lan wanted to keep a low profile, so of course they wouldn't care about the shocking robbery that happened in the city.
After resting for a night and replenishing their supplies, the two of them immediately set off on their journey to the Wu Dynasty's capital.
500 years ago, that place used to be the center of Shen Wu world, but after the Martial Emperor mysteriously disappeared and the 8 Great Families rebelled, the palace was destroyed and now it's nothing but ruins.
But for Wu Ming, it's a place he can't not go.
Towards the Martial Emperor who single-handedly created the golden age of martial arts, he won't let him go.
"Gongzi …"
The two of them once again used their movement techniques to jump over the city wall and found the carriage they left yesterday. After getting on the road, Lin Xin Lan looked like she wanted to say something: "Last night, it didn't seem peaceful at all!"
"Of course it wasn't. If I'm not wrong, the four big forces of Maple City, as well as the mayor's palace, must have been robbed. Today, the city is going to be turned upside down …"
Wu Ming's lips curled into an indifferent smile: "But what does that have to do with us?"
"Just as I thought …"
Lin Xin Lan silently rolled her eyes. After being Wu Ming's maid for so long, she has a good understanding of Wu Ming's personality.
Unless it's something he cares about, even if the sky falls and the earth falls, he won't care about it.
Leaving so early today wasn't because he didn't want to avoid trouble.
Unfortunately, sometimes, even if you don't go looking for trouble, trouble will come looking for you.
After traveling for 2 hours, the sound of horse hooves could suddenly be heard from the direction of Maple City.
Ta ta! Ta ta!
The horses galloped at a shocking speed, instantly catching up to the carriage and surrounding it: "Stop!"
"You're … people from Maple City?"
Lin Xin Lan casually asked.
"That's right! You two entered the city yesterday and left in a hurry tonight. We suspect that you're related to a robbery last night, please come with us to help with the investigation! "
This group of riders were all powerful, the leader had a pair of sharp eyes, the muscles on his body bulged and his presence was gloomy, he was obviously a martial arts expert.
"We still have something important to do!"
With Wu Ming here, Lin Xin Lan naturally had nothing to fear. She said directly, "Furthermore, it has nothing to do with last night's incident. Everyone in the inn can testify to this. We will know once we investigate. Please forgive me for not being able to comply!"
"How dare you!"
Before she could finish her sentence, a knight beside her shouted, "Little girl, do you know who this lord is?"
Without waiting for Lin Xinlan to speak, another person continued, "This is our Zhang Family's Patriarch, Golden Arms Iron Legs Zhang Tian Jie! He specially came here, Baili Zhuixiong, you still dare to quibble? "
"Rank 25 on the Earthly Ranking!"
Lin Xinlan let out a low sigh, feeling a little discouraged. She knew that this was not something she could handle.
"Little girl … Come back with us. I swear on my reputation and the reputation of the four great powers that we will never wrongly accuse a good person …"
Zhang Tian Jie waved his hand, and the people on both sides immediately surrounded him. Their ferocity was obvious.
"Hehe …"
Wu Ming naturally couldn't stay here any longer. He walked out and looked at Zhang Tian Jie. "What if we still don't agree?"
"How dare you!"
The surrounding knights were enraged, but Zhang Tian Jie was old and experienced. His expression was solemn, and he slightly cupped his fists. "May I know who you are?"
"You're really scheming!"
Wu Ming smiled coldly. "In the name of righteousness, you kill wrongly, but don't let anyone off … It's good if I'm a thief, but if I'm not, I have to follow you back to the city to prove my innocence. Who knows, I might even have to help you catch the mastermind, isn't that right?"
"Hehe … With all these, you really think I'm a fool. I really don't know where you get the courage from!"
As these words came out, Zhang Tian Jie's expression changed. This was because this had indeed revealed the secret in his heart!
"Unfortunately, you've miscalculated two points!"
Wu Ming raised two fingers. "First, I'm not a good person! Second, my martial arts are very high. Why should I continue to play according to your rules? "
Zhang Tian Jie's expression darkened, and a layer of golden luster appeared on his arm. "So … Young hero, you don't want to accept this old man's good intentions?"
"I've always disliked senseless killing …"
Wu Ming's expression was indifferent. "I'll give you three breaths. If you still don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being merciless …"
"Humph, you talk big!"
Zhang Tian Jie snorted coldly, waiting for Wu Ming to count to three.
Suddenly, he felt a chill. Wu Ming's figure overlapped with a certain description on the latest edition of the Celestial Phenomenon Ranking, which had once been on the Earth Origin Ranking.
"Wait a minute …"
Unfortunately, it was too late for him to understand.
Wu Ming counted to three indifferently. The next moment, water danced wildly!
Whoosh!
The tiny streams of water that flew out at high speed turned into the Impermanence Rope that took away lives and souls. The surrounding knights and horses were instantly beheaded.
"You … You are …"
Zhang Tian Jie's expression was one of extreme terror, but before he could continue speaking, a thin line of blood appeared on his neck.
Bang!
His head fell to the ground, and the surrounding survivors screamed in fear.
Such a demon-like killing method was beyond their understanding!
"Go back and tell the other leaders that I'm not a good person. If they send more people, I'll kill them every time I see them!"
Wu Ming said indifferently. The carriage immediately set off again.
"Young Master …"
Lin Xin Lan wanted to say something but stopped.
"You think I've gone too far?"
Wu Ming smiled.
"No!" Lin Xin Lan said calmly. "If it wasn't for Young Master's peerless strength, I'm afraid the two of us wouldn't be any better than them … I'm just curious, why didn't Young Master directly prove your innocence?"
"Because it's too troublesome …"
Wu Ming said. "Moreover, if I'm exposed, what can they do if they want to ask me for help? Some people … are always greedy … If you help them once, twice, they will naturally think that you should help them a third time. Otherwise, you're not a righteous person … "
Lin Xin Lan was instantly speechless.
"If things were going according to the righteous path, shouldn't I be waiting to be captured, restrain myself, follow them back to Maple City, then bleed my heart out and help them find the culprit, then leave with a bunch of fame and praise … ahaha …"
Wu Ming coldly laughed: "Such a main character, I really don't want to be one …"
Ever since this time, Maple City, whether it was because of fear or something else, was actually safe all the way. No one came to be long-winded, which made Wu Ming very satisfied.
Seems like in Shen Wu world, there's still a market for tyranny.
The carriage moved further and further away. Two days later, they arrived at the Wu Dynasty's capital.
"The mountain peaks gather, the waves rage, the mountains and rivers are still the same, the west wind is still there, only the palace has changed …"
The Imperial Capital of the past was now nothing but ruins, only the road was still wide enough for 4-5 carriages to travel side by side. Although it's been a long time since it was repaired, its grandeur was still there.
Lin Xinlan looked at Wu Ming who got off the carriage and walked by himself. Her eyes carried a trace of puzzlement.
It's been 500 years since the fall of the Wu Dynasty, this place has already been visited by countless martial artists and thieves. If there were any treasures left, they would've been found long ago.
What they didn't know was that the reason why Wu Ming came here wasn't to find those treasures.
In front of a bright yellow building.
"This place, should be where the Imperial Capital used to be …"
Since it's in the same universe, there are many rules that are widely used, so the Imperial Capital was naturally built in the best location in the Imperial Capital, especially the Martial Emperor's residence.
Wu Ming stood still, speechless for a long time.
"Main Divine Palace …"
He lightly called out in his Thought Sea. Outside the world, above the amber crystal wall, the Main Divine Palace rumbled and gave off a large amount of light. Another light broke through the crystal wall, at the cost of a large amount of energy, connected to Wu Ming's Thought Sea.
"Time Rewind, Search the Heavens and Earth!"
As the incantation sounded, Lin Xin Lan was shocked to find that there seemed to be some changes around Wu Ming. In the hazy mist, some of the wreckage seemed to be automatically repairing, turning into the appearance of a majestic palace.
She couldn't help but walk forward, but she couldn't see much.
A layer of thick mist appeared, completely blocking her vision.
Naturally, Wu Ming didn't have the ability to distort time and space, but the past didn't change. With the Main Divine Palace's Grand Luo power, he could grab a trace of the past from these ruins.
In order to grab a trace of 'variable' in this eternity, only the Almighty of the Main Divine Palace could do it!
Illusions appeared, and all kinds of people flashed. The surrounding scenery changed rapidly, and finally stopped on one person.
He wore a golden crown with 12 strings of pearls, and an emperor's robe embroidered with mountains, grass, trees, the sun, the moon, and the stars. Just by standing there, he seemed to be the ruler of the world, a supreme being from the nine heavens!
Martial Emperor!
Other than him, who else could leave such a unique mark in history?
"Hmm?"
At this moment, the Martial Emperor on the screen was startled, as if he had sensed something. A pair of eyes that could pierce through the heavens and earth looked over, starting a battle with Wu Ming that spanned across the river of history!
"Hmph!"
Wu Ming snorted coldly, and with a movement of his powerful primordial spirit, the entire scene instantly shattered, "A mere level-six martial artist, even if it's your main body, I'm not afraid. A trace of a mark … hehe …"
He grabbed with his right hand, and a bright yellow aura appeared and was cast into the Main Divine Palace.
Weng weng!
In an instant, he felt the main hall rumble, and it was filled with cheers and excitement.
"As expected … a part of the Main Divine Palace once existed here?"
His lips curled into a smile, "Martial Emperor, even if he's the Son of Fate, he must have obtained a part of the Main Divine Palace, or even slightly activated it, which allowed him to rise so quickly!"
With this clue, this trip to the Wu Dynasty's imperial capital was worth it!
"Very good … Although I had my suspicions at the beginning, I can finally confirm that the part of the Main Divine Palace is definitely related to Martial Emperor.
The scope has been reduced … "Wu Ming mumbled," Next, I need to find information about Martial Emperor or his inheritance … "
The fog dissipated, revealing a worried Lin Xinlan outside. When she saw Wu Ming, she immediately smiled, "Young master, did everything go smoothly?"
"Everything is under control!"
Wu Ming smiled, and left the imperial city with Lin Xinlan.
Just as they arrived at the outer city, something strange happened!
