Classical and luxurious décor, golden curtains, silky soft and comfortable cushions......

Su Qiran leaned on the back seat of this extremely extraordinary carriage, and looked through the window at the gradually growing city in the distance.

The hundreds of meters high city wall is magnificent and continuous, as if this is a barrier separating the world, and as it gets closer and closer, the solemn and humorous patterns on the city wall outline the majestic array.

It's incredibly dense with magic, with countless high-rise buildings and the most breathtaking islands floating in the sky!

This is the largest and most prosperous city in the world.

The capital of the Xingzhu Empire, Xingzhu City.

The images in my memory gradually came to mind, one thing, one person, and this city. How much laughter and sorrow there have been here, once when I was young and frivolous, I thought that I would be the protagonist of the times, and I would be the [savior] that the Sage Lord expected, but I was just a coward.

Sage, what kind of world do you want?

Suddenly, the soft sound of the bamboo flute drifted into the ears, and the sound of the bamboo flute from far and near carried the taste of memory.

Su Qiran was slightly stunned, and the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Greetings to the Holy Son......

There was a boiling cry outside the carriage.

？

Su Qiran lifted the curtain of the carriage a little, and at this time, at the gate of Xingzhu City, there were already a sea of people outside, there were knights wearing armor and serious faces, ordinary people with excited expressions, and the man who was standing in front of everyone and dressed a little sloppily.

The man was dressed in white like snow, and he was blowing a bamboo flute selflessly, which was strange to say, obviously there were people outside, but this long and soft flute seemed to be able to float into people's hearts.

"Xiao Qiran, you're finally back. The man in white suddenly opened his eyes and showed an amiable smile.

“...... Brother Bai ......," Su Qiran said with difficulty.

Baizhu, the third disciple of the Second Sage, is now the head of the Holy Palace.

"I haven't seen you for many years, where have you been?" Bai Zhu walked forward slowly with a relaxed smile on his face.

"I've been training in the Federation before. Brother Bai, I have a question......" Su Qiran's emotions were a little excited.

Baizhu shook his head slightly.

"Don't ask me, how you understand it, that's how it is. ”

The terrible silence swallowed the two of them in an instant, Su Qiran looked at Baizhu who still had the same kind smile on his face as before, and suddenly felt that there was an invisible barrier between himself and him.

It was as if the person in front of him, who was once extremely familiar, suddenly became unfamiliar.

"I see. Su Qiran nodded lightly.

"The Holy Son has returned to the capital this time, and His Majesty has already stepped down to the banquet in the [Shengshi Palace], so let me come to greet him. ”

"Banquet ......" Su Qiran smiled slightly bitterly for a moment, and then smiled as if his face had changed.

Su Qiran got out of the carriage and walked with Bai Zhu in the streets of Xingzhucheng, which had changed greatly, and the eyes of pedestrians along the way were more or less focused on them, along with many gorgeously dressed aristocrats.

It was not very fast, and it took two hours for Su Qiran's group of mighty teams to arrive at the palace area in the center of the city......

The palace area is like a forest, the most famous of which are ten palaces, covering an area of thousands of zhang [Shengshi Palace] is one of them, here is the place where the Xingzhu Empire used to hold a state banquet, and the Xingzhu Emperor set up a banquet here, which shows his sincerity.

A magnificent palace resplendent like a small city.

Su Qiran took a deep breath and slowly pushed open the door in front of him.

——

——

In the endless deep mountains and old forests, the monsters are here to interpret the true meaning of survival.

This is the famous Banished Mountains. Under the majestic and precipitous blade of the sword, the group finally arrived here after a day of arduous trek through the mountains.

"Miss Su, it's time for Jianfeng. The good-looking middle-aged knight turned his head slightly, looking at Su Xiaoxiao, who was enjoying the treatment of the stars in the center of the team.

"Well, thank you. Su Xiaoxiao said very politely, and immediately her eyes were deeply attracted by the sword blade that went straight into the sky.

The task has been completed, and when the middle-aged knight was about to lead people back at this time, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped him.

He was slightly stunned, and then looked at the cute little girl in front of him suspiciously, not understanding what she was going to do.

“...... How do you go up ......?" Su Xiaoxiao lowered her head a little embarrassed. She had just been looking for a long time, but she didn't find a way to go up.

"......" The middle-aged knight was a little speechless, you asked me how to go up, how do I know, are you a disciple of Sword Mountain or am I a disciple of Sword Mountain......

However, looking at Su Xiaoxiao's big helpless eyes, the middle-aged knight couldn't say anything to refuse.

He glanced back at the towering Sword Peak, and above the steep peak, a faint brilliance flowed between the entire mountain.

The middle-aged knight was a little stunned, although he really hadn't been to Sword Mountain, but as a legendary place, there are still a lot of folk legends in the Xingzhu Empire, such as the legend that you have to take the [Sword Road] to climb Sword Mountain, [Sword Road] From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are countless ancestors' perceptions and understandings about swordsmanship along the way......

So...... What about the road?

"Huh...... Why are there still people here? A gentle voice suddenly sounded, and all the knights were startled, and they didn't notice at all when there was an extra person at the front of the group.

A stunningly beautiful [girl], with black hair and black eyes, and cheeks so perfect that there is no trace of flaw, people almost forget to breathe......

It's just, why does it feel familiar......

“...... Dark Sword God ......!" the middle-aged knight was startled, and immediately bowed slightly and saluted.

Su Xiaoxiao was slightly stunned, she didn't expect that one of the three peak sword gods of Sword Mountain, which was a household name, was actually the girl in front of her who looked like a fairy in the sky.

The Dark Sword God didn't seem to be surprised at all that she would be recognized, she jumped to Su Xiaoxiao's side and stared at her with a little curiosity for a while.

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a huge pressure, and the moment he was about to retreat subconsciously, his attention suddenly focused on the bracelet that Su Xiaoxiao was wearing on his left hand.

A bracelet that was so dark that it seemed to absorb all the light.

"Hey, isn't this Ling Tian's bracelet?" the Dark Sword God looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a look of surprise. "What do you have to do with my son?"

......!!?? Su Xiaoxiao looked confused.

Wait a minute...... Son......?

"Are you ......?" Su Xiaoxiao couldn't believe that the [girl] in front of her, who didn't look much older than herself, was actually Jian Lingtian's mother.

"Linglong, don't make trouble. A shriveled voice sounded, as if it were unemotional, and a man with an ordinary face approached him, carrying on his back something wrapped in cloth and shaped like a sword.

Bright Sword God.
