When he woke up again, it was already dusk. When Lin Muyu opened his eyes, he found that his body was swaying. He was on a stretcher, and although the wound on his chest had been bandaged, there was still a burning pain. The bones in his back had partially healed, but the faint pain was unbearable.
The dense forest above him receded, and when he looked up, he saw the back of a Dragon Knight in dragon armor. It was rare to see two Dragon Knights carrying a stretcher. It was not easy to have such treatment.
"You're awake?" On a horse, Si Kongyao looked at him with a smile.
"Yes, we're out of the Forest of No Return?"
"Yes, we were out of the Forest of No Return in the afternoon. Now we're on the official road of the Celestial Empire!" Si Kongyao pursed her lips and pointed to the front, saying, "We showed our identification, and the Celestial Empire's garrison general sent a thousand troops to escort us."
Lin Muyu nodded and looked around. There were soldiers with swords all around them. These people were the army of the Celestial Empire! The Tian Jue Empire was the largest country, and its emblem was an aggressive wolf's head. These soldiers' arms and clothes were embroidered with a copper wolf's head. All of them were silent and only knew how to hurry forward.
"Where are we going now?" Lin Muyu asked again.
This time, it was Shang Qian who answered him on the left, "To Lao Han City, the capital of the Celestial Empire. We are now in the Tian Jue Province, where Lao Han City is located. It will only take three days to get to Lao Han City. Coincidentally, at noon, we received a letter from the Wolf Falcon. It was a letter of credence, about the engagement between the Third Princess, Her Highness Beiming Chang and the Second Prince of the Celestial Empire, Chen Yu. So, this time, we are on a diplomatic mission to the Celestial Empire."
She paused and said, "Perhaps, if we have the identity of an envoy, the assassins will not dare to do anything to us."
"Oh …"
Lin Muyu responded and did not speak again.
…
Just like what Shang Qian had said, they didn't encounter any more unforeseen events until nighttime. After all, there were a thousand soldiers protecting them, so those assassins would naturally have some restraints. There were countless Deity realm experts in the Heavenly Great Continent, so the army naturally had a way to deal with Deity realm experts. As for the specifics, this was something that Lin Muyu also wanted to know.
On the first night, they camped in the wilderness, safe and sound.
By the evening of the next day, the team had already entered a relatively prosperous county city. The population had increased, and the number of troops guarding along the way had also increased. In terms of the number of troops, the Celestial Empire had 1.5 million people, which was almost twice the number of troops of the Tianji Empire. However, the combat ability of the troops was far inferior to that of the Tianji Empire. They were poor in resources, and there were only two Sacred Martial Gods. Otherwise, the Celestial Empire would have long declared war on the Tianji Empire.
"Sir Dragon Rider, let's rest in the inn up ahead tonight. We'll set off tomorrow morning and arrive at Frosty City in the evening." The accompanying chiliarch said respectfully.
Although Lin Tongtian had lost an arm, he still had at least 70% of his strength. To these ordinary soldiers, Lin Tongtian was still a superior existence.
"Yes, thank you for your trouble, General."
"You're welcome."
Lin Muyu had already started riding on his own. He had a board on his back to protect his newly healed bones. This kind of treatment method amazed Si Kongyao, Zhuang Shaoyu, and the others. They had never seen such a strange treatment method before.
Taiyuan County, a prosperous county city in Tianjue Province.
At night, the county city was bustling with activity as the lanterns were lit.
The banquet was hosted by the princess's residence. After dinner, they returned to the inn. Lin Tongtian needed to rest, but the few young people could not contain their excitement. After all, they had stayed in the Forest of No Return for nearly ten days. They did not eat well or dress well. Now that they were finally in the bustling city, they naturally wanted to go out for a walk. Moreover, the county city of the Celestial Empire was very exotic to them. They could not miss it.
"We're just going out for a walk. We'll be back in a short while."
Si Kongyao pouted and persuaded Lin Muyu.
Lin Muyu did not want to go out. He wanted to take advantage of the time when he was injured to study the technique of using the law of space that he had secretly learned from the Demon Emperor Nüslayer. He shook his head and said, "No, I'm tired. I want to rest early."
However, Shi Tianming blinked his eyes and said, "Young hero, let's go out and take a look. The Celestial Empire is different from the Tianji Empire. It is said that … the women of the Celestial Empire are hot and passionate. They are much more open than the women of our country. Since we are all here, why should we stay in the room alone? Don't you think so?"
Lin Muyu was a little speechless. Beiming Jie's ashes had not been properly placed, but this group of people actually had the mood to go out and play. It seemed that they did not have much of a relationship with Beiming Jie in Tianji City.
At this moment, Shang Qian also persuaded, "I know that young hero is worried about safety. Don't worry, no one would dare to kill anyone in the prefecture city, not to mention this is the famous Taiyuan Prefecture. There are ten thousand guards in the prefecture city. No one would dare to kill anyone here. Otherwise, they would be wanted by the entire Celestial Empire."
Lin Muyu could not help but smile, "Miss Shang Qian, you are thinking too simply. That assassin is a Sacred Martial King. So what if there are many people in the army?"
"That's not necessarily true." Shang Qian smiled and said, "In front of an army of thousands upon thousands of men and horses, even the Saint Martial God would be captured as long as a single Demonic Heart Arrow hits."
"Demon Heart Arrow?"
"Yes, don't you know?" Si Kongyao, who was at the side, widened her eyes and said, "This is the weapon that the armies of the three empires are equipped with, the Demon Heart Arrow. The arrowhead is tempered with the essence of the Demon Heart Stone. As long as the Demon Heart Arrow penetrates the skin and fuses with the blood vessels, the essence of the Demon Heart Stone will naturally plant the Demon Heart in the body of the God level expert, and he will not be able to use any divine power."
As she spoke, Si Kongyao pulled out a black arrow from the quiver on the back of a guard and said, "This is it. Look at it yourself, the arrowhead is tempered with the essence of the Demon Heart Stone. The Demon Heart Stone is born to suppress the power of the gods. As long as the essence of the Demon Heart Stone enters the body, even the top experts of the 99 Level Grotto-Heavens will lose their cultivation within two hours."
Lin Muyu's heart sank when she heard this. "Planting the Demon Heart … That's amazing. Are there many of these Demon Heart Stones?"
"Not too many, but not too few either."
Si Kongyao patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't worry so much. Don't worry, the armies here won't do anything to us. Moreover, even if the Demon Heart Arrow is the nemesis of God level experts, it must at least be able to hit the target. Therefore … the Sacred Martial Kings and Sacred Martial Gods who have the ability of the Divine Wall won't care about the Demon Heart Stone at all."
Lin Muyu nodded. "En, alright then. Let's go shopping then."
Luckily, there weren't many God level experts in the Shattered Cauldron Realm. This Demon Heart Stone could become a weapon for the Shattered Cauldron Realm to deal with the Celestial Pole Continent. It was just that she didn't know how to control it for the time being. When she had the chance, she must study it properly.
…
At night, the streets were brightly lit.
The culture here was almost exactly the same as that of the Shattered Cauldron Realm. The most prosperous areas in Taiyuan County were almost all occupied by restaurants, weapon shops, brothels, and gambling houses. Zhuang Shaoyu, Shi Tianming, and the others were all famous people and naturally wouldn't gamble. Moreover, with the two great beauties, Si Kongyao and Shang Qian, following them, they looked serious and didn't even look sideways when they passed by the brothels. However, Lin Muyu couldn't help but take a few more glances and said with a smile, "Aiyo … The women of the Celestial Empire are really passionate. All the clothes on that dancer added up are only the size of a palm … Is there still any law? Hahaha …"
Seeing that his eyes were about to pop out, Si Kongyao also got angry out of nowhere. She grabbed Lin Muyu's wrist and pulled him away. Panting with rage, she said, "What are you looking at? Be careful or you'll get a needle hole if you look too much! Hmph, you're really too young and hot-blooded. You can't even resist this small temptation! "
Shang Qian giggled.
Liu Buyi looked at his brows and said with a smile, "Young Hero, Miss Sikong is jealous. You mustn't look at other women. If you want to look, you can only look at her."
"Did I?" Lin Muyu was at a loss.
Si Kongyao's face was flushed red. She actually didn't refute Liu Buyi's words.
Zhuang Shaoyu's face was pale. No one knew what he was thinking. He probably thought that Si Kongyao had no chance in this lifetime. It was obvious that after Lin Muyu saved her in the Forest of No Return, Si Kongyao's attitude towards Lin Muyu had become much more intimate. She seemed to have the intention of secretly giving her heart to Lin Muyu.
Although Lin Muyu wanted to befriend Si Kongyao because her identity was too special, she didn't want to take advantage of Si Kongyao's feelings for her. She said with a smile, "Buyi, don't talk nonsense. Why would Miss Sikong like me? Besides, I already have a sweetheart in my hometown! "
"Hehe …" He looked at Si Kongyao with a smile and said, "Miss, if you want to thank me for saving you, just treat me to a big meal late at night. It seems that the food in those restaurants must be very fragrant. I can smell it from afar."
Si Kongyao felt a little disappointed for no reason. She wanted to ask who his sweetheart was, but she was the Miss of the Tianji Sect after all. Such a noble identity did not allow her to lower herself. She said with a smile, "You actually want to eat more after eating so much delicious food in the Princess' residence. You're really a foodie. But let's talk about it after we walk around for a while."
"Okay."
Lin Muyu's gaze fell on the shops on both sides again. It was time to think of a way to get some demonic spirit stones. In the Celestial Pole Continent, the demonic spirit stones were the most attractive things to Lin Muyu, followed by the demonic heart stone. Both of them were very important. The demonic spirit stones could greatly increase the strength of the few God State experts in the Shattered Tripod World, while the demonic heart stone would be a sharp weapon in the future. Besides, Lin Muyu also had a plan. The white diamond arrowhead of the Shattered Tripod World was very sharp. If a Sanctuary expert drew the bow, it would be able to penetrate the God State expert's divine power wall. If the demonic heart stone was refined into the arrowhead of the white diamond, this kind of arrow would simply be a nightmare for the God State expert. As long as it was used properly, it might not be impossible for a Sanctuary expert to kill a God State expert.
However, after thinking about it carefully, it was too risky. The senses of a God State expert were very sharp. Perhaps, a Sanctuary expert could be killed instantly by teleportation before the bow was drawn. Everything she thought about now was just wishful thinking.
