The capital city was the largest city in the Dragon Emperor Immortal Empire.
The Celestial Empire had five great prefectures and one hundred and eight main cities. Beneath the main cities, there were tens of thousands of major cities. Beneath the major cities, there were also countless smaller cities. Beneath the smaller cities, there were also countless tribes and villages, forming a huge net. In the end, the main cities formed a Celestial Empire.
Dragon Sun City was just a large city that belonged to the main city, Dragon City.
Dragon City was so vast that it occupied one-tenth of the Central God Province. However, the inside of the city was not that exaggerated.
Four main roads separated Dragon City into five regions, and each region was divided by countless smaller roads. Marquis Zun Long's residence was located in the southern region, not far from the palace's main gate.
The southern region was where the princes' residences and marquis' residences gathered. The southern region was filled with nobles and officials.
The eastern region was where the rich and powerful clans gathered, while the northern region was where the tyrants gathered. As for the western region, it was the most dangerous and definitely not as peaceful as the other four regions.
Ye Qinghan went straight from the western region's Flying Dragon Inn to the southern region. Walking on the main road, he was not in the mood to admire the beautiful scenery of Dragon City. He was only thinking about how to get Marquis Zun Long to meet him. Even though the chances were slim, he had to try his best.
Ouyang Xunqian brought Ye Qinghan along and arrived at the southern region in half a day. If not for Ouyang Xunqian being a disciple of the Ancient Emperor Academy, they would not have been able to enter.
In the Southern District, Marquis Zun Long's mansion was vast and majestic. Two gigantic lion and tiger statues were guarding it. Four Complete Heavenly Immortal Realm experts were standing on both sides of the door. Looking around, Marquis Zun Long's mansion occupied at least a thousand acres. This was also the gathering place for the direct descendants of Marquis Zun Long. Adding in the collateral branches, Marquis Zun Long's influence was also very great.
Ye Qinghan and Ouyang Xunqian arrived at Marquis Zun Long's residence together. They requested to meet Marquis Zun Long as they were students of the Ancient Emperor Academy. Their attitude was very respectful.
However, the King of Hell was easy to meet, while the little ghosts were difficult to deal with. The four guards looked impatient, and the captain reprimanded, "The Marquis is not someone anyone can meet just because they want to. Not even the students of the Ancient Emperor Academy. Hurry up and leave."
Ye Qinghan had come from the bottom, so how could he not know this? Therefore, he directly took out a million celeste and handed it to the captain, whispering, "Brother, please introduce me to the steward of the Marquis' residence. This is just a small token of my gratitude. After the deed is done, there will be money for tea."
He was willing to pay a million celestial coins just to inform them. Who wouldn't be willing to help?
"Yo, brother, you're on the right track. Follow me, I'll introduce you to someone. He might be able to bring you to meet the housekeeper of the Marquis' residence." The middle-aged captain immediately put away the celeste, and his attitude suddenly became much gentler.
Ye Qinghan exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. As long as he could see Marquis Zun Long, let alone a million, he would even be willing to spend ten million.
The captain casually gave the other three 100,000 celeste coins and signaled with his eyes. Then, he brought Ye Qinghan and Ouyang Xunqian into the Marquis' residence.
The Marquis' residence was very big, and the scenery was beautiful. There were even rivers in the residence that flowed. Hundreds of flowers bloomed, and celestial energy lingered around. However, there were many restrictions in the residence. Anyone who dared to barge in would definitely die.
The captain brought Ye Qinghan all the way. After a few incense sticks worth of time, they arrived at a courtyard. He said to Ye Qinghan, "The person living here is our patrol team's lieutenant, Lord Lin Ziyao. He has a good relationship with the housekeeper of the Marquis' residence. However, his taste is much better than ours. One million is definitely nothing in his eyes."
Ye Qinghan smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, brother. Here's five hundred thousand for tea. Please introduce me to him."
The captain's face was full of smiles. He pushed open the door and entered the courtyard. He bowed and said, "Lieutenant Lin, there are two students from the Ancient Emperor Academy who wish to meet you."
There was a burly man sitting in the courtyard. He wore a red brocade robe with a chain of armor on his shoulders and a lion belt around his waist. He was tall and sturdy, and the domineering aura of a general was naturally born.
Lin Ziyao was able to work in the Marquis' residence as well as being the lieutenant of the patrol team. Naturally, his strength was not weak. He was a peak mid-stage Mystic Immortal expert. Coupled with his equipment, ordinary peak Mystic Immortal experts might not dare to fight against him. He had been fighting outside for many years, and it was only after he retired that he found a good job in the Marquis' residence.
Lin Ziyao's eyes were filled with heroic spirit and baleful aura. Because he had been fighting for many years, his body was filled with boundless killing intent. A roar of his could cause the liver and guts of tens of thousands of enemies to explode. His resolute face was filled with the aura of a sword.
Lin Ziyao's voice was like a bell. He glanced at Ye Qinghan and Ouyang Xunfeng and asked in a deep voice, "What do the students of the Ancient Emperor Academy want to meet this general for?"
Ye Qinghan hurriedly said respectfully, "General, this little one wishes to meet the Marquis …"
Lin Ziyao glared and coldly reprimanded, "Nonsense! Do you think the Marquis is someone you can meet just because you want to? Hurry up and leave the Marquis' residence. If it wasn't for the fact that you're from the Ancient Emperor Academy, this general would have already executed you on the spot. "
Ye Qinghan bitterly smiled and directly handed over an immortal ring. There were ten million celeste inside.
"Milord, please think of a way. Junior heard that Marquis Zun Long was also a spiritual body when he was young. He was only able to reconstruct his golden body because of Lord Dragon Emperor's guidance. Junior also wishes to reconstruct his golden body and hopes to receive some guidance from Lord Marquis." Ye Qinghan's temperament was outstanding, but he was extremely respectful. He gave Lin Ziyao enough face.
Lin Ziyao only took a cursory glance at the immortal ring and saw the number of celeste inside. He couldn't help being shocked. Taking out ten million celeste for a recommendation, this was quite bold.
"The matter of meeting the Marquis is arranged by the housekeeper. This general doesn't dare to guarantee anything. I'll bring you to see housekeeper Long. If he allows you to meet him, then you can meet him. If he doesn't, then this general can't do anything about it." Lin Ziyao took the immortal ring and said indifferently.
Ye Qinghan was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked, "Whether or not I can meet the Marquis, this junior will be moved to tears."
Money makes the world go round. Lin Ziyao took the ten million celeste and directly brought Ye Qinghan and Ouyang Xunfeng to the housekeeper's residence.
Long Feng was the housekeeper of the Marquis' residence. It was said that he had followed Marquis Zun Long since he was young. He was deeply trusted and liked by the Marquis. As long as Long Feng recommended someone, they would basically be able to meet Marquis Zun Long. It was just a matter of time.
Lin Ziyao asked about the identity of Ye Qinghan and Ouyang Xunqian. When he found out that Ouyang Xunqian was the elder of the Ancient Emperor Academy's battle department, Ouyang Huo, he couldn't help nodding his head. Ouyang Huo's identity wasn't bad. It made sense for his own granddaughter to come and meet the Marquis.
Soon, Lin Ziyao brought Ye Qinghan and Ouyang Xunqian to find Long Feng. Long Feng was an old man with an immortal aura. He looked very amiable. His hair was white, but his face was ruddy. He looked like he was in his fifties.
Lin Ziyao signaled Ye Qinghan with his eyes. Ye Qinghan was very tactful and immediately handed over an immortal ring with ten million celeste. This was prepared before they came. It could be seen how much Ye Qinghan wanted to meet Marquis Zun Long.
Long Feng received it with a chuckle. Many people wanted to meet Marquis Zun Long. Paying for things was an unspoken rule.
"What's your name? Why are you looking for the Marquis? "Long Feng asked with a smile.
Ye Qinghan immediately answered truthfully, "Junior is Ye Qinghan. Because I heard that Marquis Zun Long was also a spirit body when he was young, I specially came to consult the Marquis. I hope that the Marquis can give me some pointers."
Long Feng looked at Ye Qinghan and nodded, "En, you are sincere. The rumors in the underworld are true. The Marquis was indeed a spirit body when he was young. Therefore, the chances of you meeting him are very high. However, everything depends on the Marquis' schedule. If you don't meet him, don't blame me. If you go out and slander the reputation of the Marquis Residence, don't blame this old man for being impolite."
Ye Qinghan nodded and said, "This junior understands. Don't worry, Housekeeper Long. Whether I can meet the Marquis or not, I will treat everything that happened today as if nothing happened."
