The clouds opened from the edge of the sky, and the morning light sprinkled all over the imperial capital Shengjing. A few flocks of flying pigeons swept between the tall buildings, as always, with the spirit of a majestic city. However, the seemingly turbulent ocean may be surging undercurrent.

The imperial capital of this city has been a force for thousands of years, regardless of the cold and summer, and it will always cover this layer of power that will not change it. But the people in this thousand-year-old capital know that even under the imperial capital that seems to never change, it has actually experienced countless vicissitudes, every moment and every day, everything that happens here has more or less changed the fate and life of countless people.

Of course, some of them remain the same, such as the bell striking at the Hanshan Temple in Chenshi, the pancake stalls set up in the fog on the side of the street, the opening of restaurants, and the scholars and tourists sitting on the railing. Acquaintances on the streets and alleys walked together, talking to each other.

In the depths of this picture, after all, some things are different, for example, in the exchange between everyone, the boring politeness of whether or not to have eaten breakfast and how to do it in the DPRK and China has all turned into a heated discussion about the incident on the night of the Star Picking Tower.

It is now the third day of the end of the Imperial Capital Treasure Appreciation Conference. In the past three days, the accident of the Star Picking Tower has profoundly affected the atmosphere on the surface of Shengjing City today.

The fame of the Star Picking Tower is not the impression left by the famous general of the Flowing Frost Country, the outstanding posture of the wind blowing the snow, nor is it the great offering of the Song valve that shocked many people in the world. It's that the son of Daye, who was rude to the saint Ji Ling'er, actually came to the Tang Empire as Princess Lingwei of Qingping!

You must know that the incident encountered by the Holy Maiden Ji Ling'er when she went to Daye, although it was blocked by the news, it was finally transmitted back to the high-level circle of the empire through various channels, which can be said to have caused a controversy and uproar. Some of the cultivation sects of the Tang Dynasty were rarely silent about this, because it involved something that was not decent enough for the Xituo Temple, and it was inconvenient for them to express their attitude.

And some of the princely clans of the Tang Dynasty, some of them smacked their tongues at the audacity of a Qichun feudal marquis in the small country of Daye. Some believe that this is a trick by the Great Ye Kingdom, in a vain attempt to obtain the help of the Xituo Palace. Attack a holy woman. Although it is not glorious, and even hides a dirty power trick behind it, I believe that it is in absolute interests. That is an opportunity that no country or force will let go.

Some of the high-ranking members of the empire who thought they had seen through Da Ye's mind naturally didn't even despise Da Ye, and even wished that Da Ye would be isolated in the dark in their hearts. Because in fact, which of the princely clans of the empire dares to say that they do not have such thoughts? It's just that many noble families have done everything possible to get their heirs involved with the Xituo Palace, and they have only advanced layer by layer, and no one really dares to take that step. If there is really a day when the heir is favored by the saint, it is a blessing, and if there is no chance, at least he can gain some contacts in the cultivation world.

And the nameless son of Da Ye Kingdom dared to be so disrespectful to the saint, it was simply a loach in the mud pond trying to climb over the dragon gate.

In the final analysis, Daye was under such tremendous external pressure back then. There is also no shortage of some high-ranking families in the Tang Empire who are secretly adding fuel to the pressure.

Da Yeguo was overwhelmed by this incident. The instigator of the Marquis of Qichun, maybe just a victim of politics, was exiled in short, causing a commotion, but he didn't expect that something big happened immediately after that, that is, the Holy Maiden of Xituo privately Xituo broke into the sea of earth. The repercussions of this incident have been severe. After the incident, all parties tacitly suppressed the aftermath of this incident to the lowest limit. On the one hand, the Xituo Hall is at least the first holy gate on this continent. Those cultivation sects didn't plan to really offend or dare to go to Xituo to explain the law. Even the Seven Great Realm Lords of the Earth Sea put this matter aside for this reason, because they understood that they could not afford to mix this matter. Ji Ling'er actually went to Dihai for the sake of a down-and-out son, and Yu Wenjing personally went to the dignitaries, which was obviously enough to cause turmoil in the mainland cultivation world. It's just that the low-key handling of the Xituo Hall and the Tang Empire made many people dare not get to the bottom of it.

...,

I thought it would be over like this. There is always a climax in a storm and when it passes, this storm is under the silence and suppression of all parties. It was evident that the wrists exerted by those tremendous forces were handled in an extremely low-key manner, and the aftermath caused by them was almost imperceptible. After all, even the Xuanyuan Cod Heaven of the Kunlun Holy Maiden. He has also been locked up for a year and a half in a row, who would dare to continue to make a fuss about this? As for the down-and-out son of the Da Ye at the center of the storm. No one will care about his fate. Because no matter from which point of view, being involved in this kind of great turmoil in the continent's cultivation world, it seemed that he had no other opportunity to choose from except for the path of death.

However, this guy should have been stiff in the eyes of all parties. unexpectedly reappeared in the Star Picking Tower of the Tang Empire!

And that's not all. He also made a big fuss about picking up the star tower, and showed the sixth-order spirit soldiers at the treasure appraisal conference! In the star picking tower, he showed the strength of the cultivators of the Tianxuan realm in one fell swoop, and defeated the wind and snow of the Flowing Frost Country, and the Song valve enshrined Xiao Kun, the two powerhouses!

The most important thing is that Song Hui, the eldest son of the Song Valve, actually came forward to defend him, he didn't know when, he actually met Song Hui! And it seems that the relationship between them is not shallow!

"Defeating the two strong men, are you really talking about the down-and-out son of Da Ye back then?" On the top of a restaurant where the emperor was very famous, a group of children from the noble family gathered together.

"According to rumors, this son was only the third grandson of the fiefdom of the Daye Kingdom, and in terms of family rank, the grade was only the fourth rank in the kingdom. The family has some prestige in Daye, but it itself was a low-end martial arts master who was waiting for death at that time, but now, "a scholar who was in the auxiliary building at the time and witnessed the whole process smiled bitterly, "Tianxuan realm cultivation is all fucking something!"

"I also saw it with my own eyes, when that guy defeated the Song valve Xiao Kun, he pretended to have a huge consumption in advance and was instructive to induce Xiao Kun to underestimate the enemy, and sure enough, he suddenly attacked, where did he still look weak and couldn't help but look like a tiger! In the end, that Xiao was a loss to a light enemy, and this kid is too good! Judging by his actions, this person is really that treacherous and slippery guy! Saintess Ji Ling'er and Xuanyuan Cod Tian, don't deceive him!" A disciple of a high-ranking sect dressed in Confucian clothes by a cultivator of the Cangyuan Academy said a little sourly, and then had to admit, "But this guy, although he is not at the upper level of Tianxuan in terms of cultivation, his comprehension of the essence of battle is really, very powerful!"

"It seems that the violation of Ji Ling'er led to exile back then, which made him grow a lot. ”

He easily blocked the combined blow of Li Chunfeng and Zhang Jiannan. Two swords split the two swords of these two famous swordsmen!"

"It's just relying on his spiritual weapon"

"Before, Pang Chao was still looking for trouble with him because of the relationship between the county lord of Zhiying, if they had seen this kid's move earlier, they would never have tried to provoke him"

"Nonsense! You are shooting after the fact! After all, who knew that this kid turned out to be the Tianxuan realm of two powerhouses in the ability battle. If one of us sets foot in the Tianxuan realm, it is not enough to be above and more than below, and it is still honorable to be in the imperial capital where strong opponents gather. Who is not proud of it. In the future, I am afraid that I will have to rely on the other party to take care of it."

"You say," a person suddenly spoke, "what did the Holy Maiden Ji Ling'er go to the Earth Sea for a year ago?"

No one answered, and the crowd suddenly plunged to the bottom of the water and fell into a long silence.

In the grassland area more than 300 miles east of the imperial capital, the battalion flag of the imperial capital garrison camp is fluttering in the wind!

Prairie Center. It was a tent for thousands of light horsemen. On the steppe, light horsemen belonging to the empire can be seen running through the steppe. And above the sky, the precious Imperial Vulture Cavalry was riding and patrolling to reconnoitre, vigilantly watching the changes in the terrain of the mountains and rivers in Fangyuan.

The vulture is a spirit animal in captivity by the military department of the Tang Dynasty. The Empire has a special vulture battalion that trains and trains this kind of high-altitude reconnaissance riding beast that can be ridden by one person. Adult wild vultures can never be domesticated in captivity. Therefore, the vulture camps of the empire are domesticated from young vultures. It will take at least five years to raise a vulture. Therefore, this flying riding beast is quite precious and fragile. Because the carrying capacity of the vulture is not large, it is destined to have no advantage in flight altitude, and it is easy to be shot down by a strong bow on the battlefield. What is more important is the flying sword facing the cultivator. Vulture Knights are also extremely vulnerable.

...,

Therefore, the Vulture is generally only responsible for reconnaissance tasks. Or it can be provided to practitioners as mounts. Of course, the Rancang Cultivation Institute also has a special vulture that can be ridden.

The Great Northern Battalion dispatched the Vultures, and at the same time, the cultivators of the Cangyuan Temple followed the search, and it was the Kunlun Fat Daoist who was searching for Xuanyuan Cod Heaven and Yang Ze in the north!

Known as the strongest raid capability in the empire, the Beida Camp searched and arrested day and night for three consecutive days, covering the entire 300-mile area east of the imperial capital. More than 100 Vulture Knights were dispatched. It can be said that it is day and night. Even the suburban sky at night is densely spread by suspended wind lanterns. Each Vulture Knight is equipped with five Vultures. It is convenient to travel day and night and carry out the highest standard search.

Zhang Beiwu, the commander of the Beida battalion, was among the cavalry of the front battalion at this time. Use the glass mirror to look at Pingchuan in the distance.

The deputy commander beside him looked at the few Tianxuan cultivators in the car behind him. Bite one's tongue.

"I know you're confused. Let's hear it. Zhang Beiwu watched with satisfaction as the vulture cavalry in the sky in front of him struck out a smoke canister, prompting the change in the search array.

The deputy commander couldn't help but speak, "Lord Commander, if this continues, not only will we not find anyone, but we will also startle the snake." At night, we are full of wind lanterns, and the grassland is as bright as day, the fat Taoist is not only a master of cultivation, but also has the help of the black crow, seeing my imperial patrol search, I am afraid that I will run away without a trace in the morning, according to my opinion, we must immediately change the way of searching, remove the vulture knight, and use the Tianmu Eagle instead, the Tianmu Eagle can patrol three hundred miles a day. Put the Tianmu Eagle of our northern camp on it, and the surrounding airspace will be under surveillance, but if any abnormality is found, it is best not to startle the snake, ride lightly, or order the cultivators to intercept it. Further east is Lingdongguan. Since the fat Daoist is a Kunlun master, he must disdain to disguise himself and go away, but he has not heard the letter from Lingdongguan so far, so it can be seen that the fat Daoist is within a radius of five hundred miles here, and if he wants to intercept the other party, this method is the most effective. Please make a decision!"

"Nonsense" Zhang Beiwu shook his head lightly and sneered, "Don't I know." Am I stupid enough to search day and night with such fanfare, for fear that the other party will not know that we are coming? ”

This is not what the subordinates meant. ”

"That's exactly what I want to do, to inform that Kunlun Fat Dao Yan Shangyin that the empire is searching for him!"

"This"

"Because our purpose is not to provide information for the cultivators of the empire to intercept him, but to let him go, the farther away the better!" Zhang Beiwu stared at his deputy commander with deep eyes, "This is also what the eldest princess meant. That little girl and that Da Ye Shizi had the best that Yan Shangyin was in a hurry, so he snatched the two of them away and fled to Kunlun, and never came back!"
