After a few simple supplies and rests in some towns, several men and several horses ran for seven days, and on the plain, they finally saw a majestic city, which was located between the mountains and rivers, like a sleeping lion.

What is striking is that on both sides of the lion, two towers, like sharp swords reaching into the sky, seem to protect the lion, and seem to show the world his unyieldingness.

This is the capital of the Celestial Empire, the Imperial Capital City, which is already in sight.

The prosperity of Tianfang Yanjing is second to none in the Eastern Continent, not only for its magnificent architectural scale, but also for his distinctive style, which is full of enthusiasm and unrestrainedness, welcoming visitors from all over the Eastern Continent to continue to pour into this large metropolis, drunk and fascinated.

In vulgar terms, he is like a bitch who tickles the bones, seduces the soul, and strokes the world, but under that gorgeous and unrestrained appearance, there is a decay and erosion, and it is ruined.

Of course, this was when Nie Lin rode his horse on the wide avenue to approach this large metropolis, and Lu Xueyan gave a bad evaluation of the city where she had been staying for eight years, but she spoke more tactfully and not so directly.

However, in Nie Lin's impression, this city does deserve this kind of vulgar evaluation.

And it's the Yanjing of the Changge Empire, compared to this Tianfang Yanjing, it's not much better, if there is not a kendo master there who is alone, I'm afraid it will be even worse.

Because the geographical location he is located is a fortress leading to the Western Continent, it is determined that that place, under the intersection of politicians and various forces, there will inevitably be some corrupt and dark shadows.

had already arrived in the capital, and there was still plenty of time, and Nie Lin and his party did not rush to the road anymore, but stopped in a large important town five miles away from the capital that was no less prosperous than a small city in the north.

This town is called Weijing Town, which is equivalent to a gateway to Yanjing, and the Yang family, as one of the four great kendo families of Tianfang, naturally has a huge industrial chain here.

So after Yang Yuxiao arrived in this important town, he took everyone to visit an elder in the family who was responsible for running the industry.

This person's name is Yang Shilong, is a concubine from the Yang family's family, the management talent is very outstanding, mainly responsible for the huge industrial chain of Weijing Town, he is in the town's mansion, after receiving Yang Yuxiao and Nie Lin and others, and sent people to Beijing to report the news, let them rest for a while before entering Beijing.

The capital is a place where dragons and tigers are hidden, Nie Lin had stayed here for a while in his previous life, and this city can be regarded as having some intersections.

However, this is just the starting point of his previous life to embark on the road to challenge the world, he did not stay here too much, so he did not leave a deep impression, and even, in this life, in his bones, there is also an inexplicable rejection of this city.

Because there is a woman living here, a beautiful woman with monstrous power and strength, he now thinks about all the things in his previous life, and feels so stupid, how could he fall in love with such a woman who is keen on power, and love so deeply, that after being deeply hurt, he embarked on the road of defeat that challenged the heavenly monument without full preparation.

Now that I think about it, I think it's so stupid and ridiculous.

"What are you thinking?"

At this time, after Yang Yuxiao took a shower and changed his clothes, he suddenly saw Nie Lin's self-deprecating expression, he thought that Nie Lin was not used to this magnificent mansion, which made him feel restrained, so he stopped mentioning this topic, and asked: "There are still three days to go before the competition, and it is estimated that the progress of the teacher will not be able to catch up, what are your plans?"

"Low-key entry, high-profile competition!"

After Nie Lin said this lightly, he looked at Yang Yuxiao and said: "Since Mr. They can't catch up, then the plan of this competition has to be adjusted, although our hope of winning the overall score is not too big, but to get the top three, we must do it, otherwise Tianlu will still not be able to advance to the Great Teaching School to restructure the Sword Academy, so when it comes to this, we must use some means!"

"What are you going to do?" Yang Yuxiao said.

Nie Lin said: "Use all the relationships that your family can use in the capital to boost our momentum, whether it is bribery, threats, or inducements, as long as you can use the methods, you will do whatever you want, and there is only one purpose, so that Tianlu will be promoted, and successfully restructured into a sword academy, and expand your influence in the Heavenly Empire through this sword boy competition!"

Yang Yuxiao was stunned for a while, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and found that Nie Lin was like a different person, and said, "Brother Nie, if necessary, do you really want to do whatever it takes?"

Nie Lin nodded and said: "If Tianlu can't get the ranking this time, the next road is estimated to be very difficult, although Mr. Lu's way is proper, but if you want to develop your power, it is too slow, and it is difficult to have an effect in a short period of time, so this Tianlu will either be a blockbuster in the competition and known to the world, or it will not fall from now on!"

Of course, Nie Lin did not tell Yang Yuxiao that the ultimate goal of the Heavenly Road Sword Academy's development of the bright-faced forces was to cover up the more powerful force that had been secretly assembled after the formation of the scale, although it was similar to sectarian schools such as the Nanpei Sword Academy, but in essence it was very different.

In today's era of peace, it is quite difficult to develop and establish a sectarian power on its own, not only to bear the persecution and pressure from all forces, but also to be severely controlled and suppressed by the state and the royal family.

Therefore, there is a subtle relationship between this, that is, the power of the sect and the family depends on the state to develop and grow, and the country also depends on these forces to ensure its status.

After the formation of the sectarian academy of the Heavenly Road Sword Academy, it was established by relying on the power of the state, and under the protection of the state, it could be a legitimate development force, and it was indeed a very stable development strategy to avoid suppression and persecution in all aspects.

But his ultimate purpose is only one, everything is to serve the 'Shence Mansion', a secret organization that will play a vital role in the future, to regain the dominance of the Sword Pavilion from the hands of the Shenmang Empire, so that the Sword Pavilion will truly become an absolute authoritative organization that stands tall in the world and cannot be blasphemed and violated by any forces and individuals.

His master Ji Wudao in his previous life was because he watched the decline of the Sword Pavilion, but it took a lifetime to realize this long-cherished wish, this is not his selflessness, but Ji Wudao's ancestor, the guardian of the Qingcang Dragon Seal, and the only inheritance that can make 'Tu Su' appear in the world.

What exactly is 'Tu Su', very few people know, the most popular in the world is the legend that 'Tu Su' is a family, the head of the four thousand-year-old families, and is included in the five families.

But there are also legends that 'Tu Su' is a powerful organization, powerful enough to completely subvert this continent and wipe out all forces and countries, and the Sword Pavilion was once a terrorist organization founded and extended by 'Tu Su'.

There are also those unbelievable legends that are rarely circulated in the world, saying that 'Tu Su' is a god, the god worshiped by the Sword Pavilion.

Of course, these are just legends, Nie Lin has always been skeptical of these legends, he naturally wants to know very well, what 'Tu Su' is, for him, the master in the previous life did not hesitate to spend his life to prepare, wanting to regain the Qingcang Dragon Seal, for him, many people, even including himself, have paid the price of their lives...... So in this life, he will not repeat the road that makes him feel ridiculous when he thinks about it, he must have the power, and the strength must also be there, regain the Qingcang Dragon Seal, and after completing the regrets of the previous life, he will go to the monument to prove it, and see what is behind the monument, if it is just a scam, then there is only one word, kill!

At this time, after Nie Lin thought of this, the momentum he inadvertently showed made Yang Yuxiao shocked, and said, "Brother Nie, what's wrong with you......"

Nie Lin came back to his senses, saw Yang Yuxiao's expression, adjusted his mood, and said indifferently: "I'm thinking, because the first step of the Heavenly Road Sword Academy's development must be completed, and there can be no failure, then we can't be low-key this time, before acting, we have to understand and analyze the content and rules of this competition, so we have to trouble you to go and try to get these materials in advance!"

Yang Yuxiao said: "The political relationship of our Yang family is not as deep as the teacher, this time the teacher is not there, presumably arrangements have been made, why don't we go to the city and ask Uncle Lu Zecheng at the Lu Mansion, he is the second son of the teacher, and now the official residence is the second grade, the cabinet minister, I think we can get some information from him that is beneficial to us?"

As he was talking, a servant from the mansion came in to report: "Young Master Yuxiao, the carriage of the Lu Mansion has arrived, and Lord Lu wants to pick up Miss Lu and Nie Gongzi?"

Nie Lin turned his head to Yang Yuxiao and said, "It's just right, let's go together!"

Yang Yuxiao nodded, then said to the servant, and asked Yang Shilong to prepare a carriage with the Yang family logo for him, and then followed Nie Lin out of the door.

Coming to the door, Lu Xueyan was supported by two maids and maids, and had already gotten into the carriage, when he saw an old man with white hair and housekeeper clothes coming to Nie Lin, after looking at it slightly, he said in a harmonious voice: "Presumably this is Nie Gongzi, my family is invited!"

"It's hard work!" Nie Lin was not polite, under the guidance of the old butler, he got into another separate carriage, and then the old butler greeted a few sword servants and said a few words, and the carriage slowly drove towards the capital, and Yang Yuxiao and Zhang Gu also followed into the city after getting into the carriage.

The capital is only five miles away from Weijing Town, and after a while, it will arrive at the gate of the city.

After the carriage drove to the city, he could see a huge statue standing at the end of the central street, Nie Lin originally opened the curtain to see if the architectural pattern of the capital had changed, but when he saw the huge statue, his face was gloomy, very ugly.

That statue was none other than what he looked like in his previous life, and it was the last thing he wanted to see!
