The Dragon Seeking Forest was a quiet and deep forest surrounding the imperial capital, Lanyan City. There were many types of spirit beasts in the Dragon Seeking Forest, and it was said that someone had once seen a spirit beast with a lifespan of 100,000 years in the Dragon Seeking Forest. That was a powerful existence that only those who had stepped into the Godly State could face. However, this was only a legend. However, the Dragon Seeking Forest was still protected by the imperial army, and commoners were forbidden from entering. Firstly, it was to protect the safety of the commoners, and secondly, the rich resources and spirit beasts in the Dragon Seeking Forest were all provided to the nobles for their enjoyment.
… …
Dragon Forging Valley was a valley in the southwest of the Dragon Seeking Forest. There lived some spirit beasts that were hundreds or even thousands of years old. This place was also reared by the imperial family, and became the legendary "Imperial King's Hunting Ground".
On this day, the Dragon Forging Valley was very lively. Banners fluttered in the wind, covering the sky. Countless armored soldiers gathered here, and the sound of horse hooves shook the entire valley. The army clustered around a group of people dressed in luxurious clothes. In the center, a golden luxurious carriage was parked in the middle of the forest. Even the wheels of the carriage were inlaid with gems in the shape of a dragon and a Purple Yin Flower. The dragon symbolized supreme power, and the Purple Yin Flower was the emblem of the Qin family, and also the emblem of the entire empire.
"Rustle, rustle …"
The gold-inlaid curtain of the carriage was slowly lifted, revealing the face of a middle-aged man around 50 years old. His expression was slightly haggard, but he wore a golden crown on his head, and his eyes were sharp. This person was the Emperor of the Qin Empire — Radiant Prince Qin Jin!
"Where did Xiao Yin go?" Qin Jin asked indifferently.
Beside the carriage, a general riding on a black warhorse cupped his fists and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, Her Highness brought a group of guards to chase after a 3000-year-old umbrella dragon!"
"Oh, Umbrella Dragon?" The Emperor frowned. "Are there enough guards to go with them? The Dragon Seeking Forest is so dangerous. Tell Xiao Yin to be careful and not to run out of the hunting ground. "
"Yes, Your Majesty! Commander Feng Jixing of the Imperial Army has already personally brought people over. Your Majesty, please be at ease. "
"Mm, that's good."
… …
"Sha sha sha …"
In the forest, an umbrella dragon was panting as it ran. Its back was riddled with arrows, and it was bleeding profusely. The umbrella dragon was one of the lower ranks of the dragon species. It was also an earth dragon, a type of pseudo-dragon. It was not even considered a true dragon, but this umbrella dragon had already cultivated for 3,000 years. Its head was shaped like an umbrella, with three golden veins extending from it.
"Pu!"
The Umbrella Dragon became even more enraged after being shot in the butt. Its eyes turned fierce as it spat out flames and charged at the attacker.
The branches and leaves parted, and a white horse appeared in sight. The girl on the horse was extremely beautiful. She wore a dark blue cloak embroidered with golden dragon patterns. The cloak wrapped around her delicate and exquisite figure, while the hood was casually scattered behind her head, revealing her long black hair. Her delicate face was like carved jade, and the corners of her mouth carried a gentle smile that surpassed thousands of stars. She was like a beautiful piece of jade that had landed in this dangerous forest.
"Your Highness, be careful. You are running too fast!" the guard behind her shouted.
But Qin Yin did not care so much. She spurred her horse and charged at the injured umbrella dragon. She smiled and said, "Little umbrella dragon, surrender obediently, and I will grant you a quick death!"
The umbrella dragon roared and suddenly leaped into the air. Its sharp claws were covered in flames as it attacked the empire's princess.
Qin Yin was slightly taken aback, but she calmly waved her palm and said, "Still not admitting defeat? God Binding Chains! "
"Peng!"
With a loud bang, golden light shone brightly. A golden chain that was several meters long broke through the ground and directly smashed into the Umbrella Dragon's abdomen. It actually caused a hole in it. Moreover, the golden chain was surrounded by dense golden runes. Those were ancient characters. The attack power of this Martial Soul was so shocking that it had long surpassed the understanding of ordinary cultivators!
God Binding Chains was a first-grade martial soul. It was the inherited martial soul of the empire's Qin bloodline. Once one comprehended the God Binding Chains, it meant that one would become an expert of the generation. And Qin Yin was one of the few descendants of the Qin Clan in this generation who had awakened the God Binding Chains martial soul.
"Roar roar …"
Under the attack of the God Binding Chains, the umbrella dragon howled miserably. It did not dare to attack anymore. It twisted its butt and burrowed into the dense forest. It was a thistle forest, and in an instant, its injured scales were cut open with streaks of blood.
Seeing that Umbrella Dragon had run off again, Qin Yin pouted angrily. She quickly turned her horse around, intending to take a detour and chase after him. She said, "Don't go! If you're a real man, stay and fight me for three hundred rounds!"
At this time, a person galloped over on a horse. He was dressed in golden armor and held a shiny broadsword in his hand. He laughed and said, "Your Highness Yin, I've finally found you!"
The newcomer had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He was extremely handsome, and his entire body was brimming with a very bright heroic spirit.
"Oh, it's General Feng!" Qin Yin smiled slightly. "That umbrella dragon has run away again. I must chase it down today. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't even have the mood to eat dinner …"
Feng Jixing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness, if you don't eat, won't His Majesty be heartbroken? Moreover, we're almost out of the hunting grounds. It's a little dangerous. Don't worry, Your Highness. Why don't you let me help you capture this umbrella dragon alive? "
Qin Yin's starry eyes swept across his face. She hesitated for a few seconds and said, "I don't trust you. How about this? We'll split up. You go from the north, and I'll go from the south. Let's see who can capture this umbrella dragon first!"
Feng Jixing didn't dare to look at this indescribably beautiful imperial princess in the eye. He hurriedly held his broadsword horizontally and performed an imperial military salute. He said, "Yes, Your Highness! This subordinate obeys! "
…
Thick brambles blocked the way. The sky was a little dark, and it was almost dusk. Lin Muyu was a little anxious. She carried the Burning Prairie Sword and cut through the brambles to open a path. Suddenly, she turned around and said, "Sister Chu Yao, we must pass through here before it gets dark and find a place to rest. According to the marks on the map, we might be able to reach Lanyan City tonight!"
Chu Yao leisurely rode on a fine horse. Her breath surrounded her body. She slowly opened her beautiful eyes and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Yu. If it's not really necessary, we don't have to enter the imperial city at all. After all, there might still be our notice on the city gate!"
Lin Muyu touched the stubble on her chin and said with a smile, "No, I haven't shaved for so many days. I'm afraid I'm a completely different person from the person on the notice. Sister, you've also cut your hair short. I don't think anyone will recognize us even if we enter the city. Besides, even if they recognize us, we can just deny it."
Chu Yao couldn't help but smile. "Yu, you're getting bolder!"
Lin Muyu angrily cut through the brambles and said, "This is the 11th day of our exile. What I want to do most now is to take a hot bath and then sleep in a warm bed. Sister Chu Yao, don't you want to live a normal life?"
"I want to, but I'm afraid it's an extravagant wish for us now …" Chu Yao said quietly.
Suddenly, she raised her head again and said with a smile, "Yu, your cultivation speed has always been ten times faster than ordinary people, but after you stepped into the second level of the Earth Realm, there hasn't been any movement. How is it? Do you feel like you're about to break through?"
Lin Muyu nodded. "Yes, since yesterday, every time I cultivate, I can't feel the growth of my true qi. I should have reached a bottleneck, but I haven't met a suitable spirit beast, so I can only leave it to fate. It would be great if a suitable spirit beast of 3000 to 4000 years came to my door, but … my injuries haven't completely healed. If I really meet a spirit beast of 3000 years or more, I don't seem to be able to beat it. I'm afraid I'll lose my life for nothing!"
Chu Yao giggled. "Then you'll have to cultivate slowly. Many people spend their entire lives cultivating and still can't break through rank 50. You're so young, and you've reached rank 49 in less than a month. In the eyes of ordinary people, you're a genius that only appears once in ten thousand years."
Lin Muyu grinned but didn't say anything. In fact, he didn't tell Chu Yao that he was using a cheat. Moreover, he still had a portion of the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor's Profound Energy left behind in his body. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to advance so quickly.
… …
Not long after, they passed through the thorny forest. Just as Lin Muyu was about to mount his horse, a wild beast roared in the distance. Unexpectedly, a spirit beast with its head spread open like an umbrella was approaching.
"That's …" he asked with some surprise.
But Chu Yao's eyes lit up. "I've seen this kind of spirit beast in Cathaya City's library. It's an umbrella dragon. Heavens … three golden lines and two yin lines on its head. This is a 3200 year umbrella dragon, and it seems to be injured. Yu, your chance is here. Prepare to attack!"
"Mn!"
Lin Muyu didn't care if the umbrella dragon was injured or not. She raised her hand and summoned her martial soul. Immediately, gourd vines whooshed across the ground and quickly wrapped around the umbrella dragon. In the next moment, the Demonic Noise Blade flew out and struck three times in a row, leaving three deep wounds on the umbrella dragon's neck.
This umbrella dragon was already on the brink of death. What else could it possibly be unwilling to die? It had died indirectly at the hands of the empire's princess, but in the end, a brat had appeared out of nowhere to finish it off.
At this moment, the umbrella dragon's intestines were turning green with regret. If it had known this would happen, it wouldn't have run away. It would have been better if it had died at the hands of that peerless beauty!
"Clang!"
The Burning Prairie Sword was unsheathed. Lin Muyu used the Star Steps and charged forward at top speed. She used the exquisite Butterfly Steps to dodge the umbrella dragon's sure-kill flame spray. Lightning and fire intertwined on the blade as she slashed down viciously from the side!
"Kacha!"
This time, half of the umbrella dragon's head was crooked. It looked like it was about to be decapitated.
Lin Muyu pulled back her longsword and stabbed it violently again. The blade pierced the spirit beast's heart, and a steady stream of fiery energy seeped out and set the grass on fire. The umbrella dragon howled in pain and regret as it knelt before the nameless brat's sword.
