On a wide road, there are many merchants and passers-by who are hurrying on their way.

This is the most lively official road of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the end of the road is the famous Pingyang Imperial City, so there are many cars and horses and pedestrians on the road. In addition to travelers and various convoys on this road, there are also thousands of strange spirit beasts that are following their masters.

Among the pedestrians, an ordinary white bear was slowly moving forward carrying a young man and a young girl.

Li Xuanji, Jin Ling, and Xue Mang had been trekking for nearly a month since they left Dead Dragon City. Because there was no Lieyan who was good at running, the speed of rushing to Pingyang City this time suddenly dropped significantly.

Although the snowy giant bear is also very powerful, if it really runs, it will definitely be a tsunami-like scene, and I don't know how many passers-by will be frightened, let alone what kind of trouble it will cause. Li Xuanji really didn't dare to ask it to do this!

Therefore, Xuemang usually looks like an ordinary white bear, and he is also slow to walk. Only in the wilderness where there are really no people will Xue Mang become taller and run awkwardly. However, even so, the speed was still not fast, and it was only quite a low-level dragon horse's speed, so when the three of them really approached the imperial city, it had already taken nearly a month.

In fact, during this trip, Li Xuanji also took Jin Ling and Xue Mang to Wolong Mountain, which was more than 100 miles north of the Dragon City.

He mainly wanted to see if he could have a chance to enter the Purple Dragon Emperor's Mausoleum again and pick some rare treasures from it.

When Li Xuanji and his entourage came to Wolong Mountain again, there was no one here.

Since the last time the eight major families of Dragon City disappeared in the Wolong Mountain Grottoes, those treasure hunters who fantasized about ascending to the sky in one step have been splashed with ice water, and the treasure hunting fever that has just risen has been quickly cooled down, and few people have come after that.

The three of them entered the grotto again, following Li Xuanji's memories to find the huge stone hall at the beginning.

The various mechanisms set up in the cave are still very dangerous, especially the large number of murderous poisons left behind may kill the intruder. However, for the current Li Xuanji and his party, these things hardly pose any threat.

The overwhelming tide of millions of insects was a mortal threat to Li Xuanji, who had just entered the Manifest Dao Realm, but now these insect tides were all frozen by a torrent of snow and frost before they could get close to the three! Ninety percent of the poisonous insects and insects froze to death in an instant, and only some of the remaining ones were directly frightened and quickly fled.

There was no such thing as a cave spider in the cave, but something else had been found. For example, a giant poisonous python the size of a bucket, a carnivorous earthworm that is thicker than a python, a giant scorpion nest the size of a buffalo, and even some dark creatures with magical talents!

The three of them walked around in the dark grotto for a long time before they found the passage where Li Xuanji had strayed into the stone hall.

The stone hall in the cave is quiet and silent, without the slightest change. Looking at the solemn and solemn huge stone hall, Li Xuanji was once again deeply shocked!

The upper floor of the stone hall was still empty, but the next floor was filled with human bones all over the ground, and the entire stone hall was filled with a strong disgusting putrid smell.

These people were all the members of the Eight Great Families of Dragon City who had fought with Long Youwei and the others a few months ago, but now only bones were left all over the ground, and even the flesh and blood were devoured by the bloodthirsty insects in the grotto. Who would have thought that the heads of the eight families of 'snakes, foxes, bears, horses, tigers, leopards, jackals', who had dominated the Dragon City for a hundred years, were all buried here, and they died so silently!

I just don't know if being able to be buried in the imperial tomb of the Purple Dragon Emperor is a blessing?

The huge multicolored jade carving "Mountains and Rivers Society Map" on the wall of the stone hall has been shattered, and the treasure that was originally of unparalleled value has now been broken into more than a dozen pieces. It's just that it's inlaid in the stone wall, so it still maintains its original appearance, but the cracks on it will hurt anyone who looks at it.

There is a circular fist mark in the center of the "Mountains and Rivers Society Map", and the multicolored jade under the fist has been shattered, which is the trigger point of the teleportation array that went to the Purple Dragon Emperor's mausoleum. He came here again and deliberately smashed it with a fist and tried it, but there was no reaction, and he couldn't help but be disappointed.

Since arriving at the real mausoleum requires the help of the space formation, then the mausoleum will inevitably not be behind the stone wall, but hidden in an unknown corner of the world. Without the help of this formation, the Purple Dragon Emperor's tomb would probably never be found by anyone except himself.

Li Xuanji, who explored Wolong Mountain again, did not get anything, so he had to return to Pingyang and embark on the journey to Pingyang Imperial City again.

"Xue Mang, we are about to arrive at the Imperial City of Pingyang. This is one of the places with the highest concentration of human beings, and there are all kinds of powerful snobbery and absolute masters, so try not to reveal your identity or cause trouble when you enter the city. If you really provoke some old monsters with advanced cultivation, even if you are as powerful as you, you may die here. Li Xuanji said.

Xue Mang nodded and did not speak. This is an agreement between the two people, and Xue Mang cannot talk in human language in public.

"Another point, don't kill people at will here, let alone eat people. No matter how special the other party's body is, it can't be eaten, which will cause public anger. Of course, try not to eat people in other places, I don't like you like this very much. That's it for the last time you ate Liang Tai, I know that you ate him for the medicinal power of the Beastmaster King in his body, but it's not worth it. ”

Li Xuanji said worriedly: "Although the Beast King Shanghua has a very powerful help to spirit beasts, it is an extreme temptation for many spirit beasts. However, this kind of thing is completely dispensable to you, and you don't need its medicinal help at all. Liang Tai ate the flower king of the beast king, and although he got a lot of benefits, he was not able to digest the huge medicinal power. Now you've eaten him again, and you've got some of the potions, but I can't estimate the side effects it will have on you. Especially when I think of a demon flower growing on the corpse after death, my heart is furious. You should stop eating indiscriminately in the future, as this will only affect your practice. ”

Xue Mang was silent for a moment, and had no choice but to nod.

Jin Ling sat in front of Li Xuanji, leaning on his arms, shaking his feet and whispering: "Ahhh......hhh

Li Xuanji's body stiffened, and his eyes looked at her. Jin Ling suddenly panicked: "No, no, I mean that the demon flower doesn't know if it's delicious or not!"

“...... I believe you. Li Xuanji touched her head, and then said, "But even if you encounter that kind of thing, it's best not to eat it." The demon flower that grows from the corpse will make you sick to your stomach just thinking about it. ”

"Oh......" Jin Ling nodded.

The group of three slowly walked along with the pedestrians on the official road, and it was not until an endless city wall came into view that Li Xuanji let out a long breath.

Finally came to Pingyang City, and it was again. Li Xuanji still clearly remembers the last time he came, he and Jin Ning walked together in Long Youwei's dragon horse chariot for half a month before arriving. That is, he has never seen Long Youwei since that time, and he doesn't know if he will meet her again this time. Li Xuanji faintly felt that his arrival this time would leave more stories in this giant city.

"Ahh

Xue Mang also looked at Pingyang City sluggishly, with a shock in his eyes that could not be hidden. This sprawling city of wonders has finally given it a true sense of human strength.

"Let's go, let's go into town. I'll show you what's inside. Li Xuanji patted Xue Mang, and the three of them began to walk towards the gate of the imperial city.

Because Jin Ling and Xue Mang were both here for the first time, Li Xuanji deliberately slowed down his speed. The three of them slowly wandered through this lively and wide street together, feeling the prosperity and wealth of the city. The path that could have been completed in an hour took three times as long.

It wasn't until sunset that Li Xuanji and his entourage came to Changsheng Avenue in the inner city of the Imperial City, and came to the door of the huge mansion at the end of the long street.

Looking up at the familiar three words 'General's Mansion', Li Xuanji still remembered the scene when he rode away on a blazing flame a few months ago. I thought I might never have an intersection with this place again, but I didn't expect to come back so soon. He suddenly found himself a little nervous, not knowing whether to be excited or scared.

"Who is coming? This is the General's Mansion, and the idle people are waiting to retreat!" a cold voice came, and the two guards on duty in front of the mansion looked at the visitor and asked vigilantly.

Li Xuanji looked up, but found that it was still an acquaintance, it was the two doormen he met when he came here last time, but he didn't expect it to be so coincidental. He rolled over and got off the ground, stepped forward, and handed over a token in his hand with a smile.

A doorman took the token and looked down, but found that it was the token of the General's Mansion, and the level was the highest, only the relatives of the general deserved to have it, and he was suddenly shocked. He looked at the young man in front of him with some aw, and found that he had really never seen this person, and his heart was even more puzzled.

"Boy, please wait a moment, I need to go and report inside. ”

Li Xuanji nodded, and the doorman quickly ran into the mansion.

In about a quarter of an hour, the doorman ran back, followed by an old man with gray hair. And this old man is Ling Yongnian, the housekeeper of the General's Mansion!

Steward Nian walked out of the door, first saluted Li Xuanji, and then asked suspiciously while looking at him: "May I ask the son's honorable name, why do you hold the gilded token of my general's mansion?"

Li Xuanji looked at the familiar Nian housekeeper and smiled, stepped forward and took two steps and asked softly, "Uncle Nian, don't you recognize who I am?"

As soon as the title of 'Uncle Nian' came out, Steward Nian's heart was shocked, and a very vague sense of déjà vu rose in his heart, but he couldn't remember who the tall young man in front of him was.

"Excuse me, are you ......?"

Li Xuanji laughed, stretched out his palm and placed it in front of the Nian Steward. I saw a small seed condensed out of thin air in his palm, and this seed quickly sprouted and took root, growing tender green leaves, growing straight branches, and finally blooming a beautiful and bright flower.

After seeing this unique skill, the Nian steward was already stunned, and he could stuff an egg in his wide open mouth.

"Uncle Nian, I'm Li Xuanji!"
