Tengcheng, the imperial city of the Daqi Dynasty, is one of the largest cities in the northern region and is also the political, military and economic center of the Daqi Dynasty.
Regardless of the large or small forces in the mortal world, or various sects in the world of cultivation, they can all be found in this prosperous city.
For example, the Luoxia Sect's sect is located in Huanghuangfang City, one of the three major cities in the city. Although it is not the largest and most prosperous sect, it is a gathering point for decent monks in the world.
For example, Shendantang, as the largest elixir mall in the Northern Territory, has the largest elixir shop in Vine City. As long as you want it and are willing to pay the price, you can buy any elixir of any grade in the world at the Vine City Divine Alchemy Hall.
Another example is the Snowland Escort Bureau. Although it is only a small force in the mortal world, it also has a lot of prestige in Vine City. Some people even rumored that because the Snowland Escort Bureau successfully brought the Nine Dragons Jade Seal to the Imperial City, it obtained the old emperor's favor. With the Lord's reward and attention, his power has broken away from the restrictions of mortal forces, and there are already monks in the escort agency.
There are tens of thousands of forces in the world, and although not every force has set up a stronghold in the Imperial City, at least some of the forces that are on the stage can find some traces here.
Of course, there are also special beings. They are obviously one of the best powers in the world, and everyone will tremble all over when they hear their names. There is no trace of their information in the imperial city.
The Sea of Blood is such an unpredictable yet terrifying force.
According to Xu Feng, the Imperial City at this time had been divided into four forces that were restraining each other. Because of their restraint, the Imperial City, which had been in turmoil for decades, gained a brief peace.
The most powerful force is undoubtedly the old emperor. Even though this old emperor is nearly seventy years old, the power around him is beyond imagination. In addition to his own strength, which has reached the peak of Jiedan, Zuo Jiawei, the strongest internal force in the dynasty, It is also an existence that far exceeds all major sects.
There are even rumors that the old emperor has actually advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, but due to some special reasons, he did not reveal his power to the world.
Some people even say that super powers such as Shendantang and Blood Sea have the shadow of the old emperor behind them. As for whether it is true or not, perhaps only the old emperor himself knows.
Apart from the old emperor, the most powerful force is the eldest prince. In the first few years, the eldest prince was not as powerful as the ninth prince. It was not until the Ninth Prince brought the Nine Dragons Jade Seal to the Imperial City and was imprisoned by the old Emperor because of the affairs of the Imperial Secret Palace that the First Prince's power finally grew stronger.
The Yinsha Sect, Sun Moon Sect, Luoxia Sect and other small sects were all the Ninth Prince's strength when they first started, and they were also the key to his success in bringing the Nine Dragons Jade Seal to the Imperial City.
However, due to the incident in the secret palace of the dynasty, the ninth prince became a prisoner, and the Yinsha Sect and other sects were directly replaced by the eldest prince.
In addition, among the other seven princes, four of them are supporters of the eldest prince. They support the eldest prince in his bid to become the new emperor.
The four princes who support the eldest prince are the second prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince and the sixth prince. Although their strength is not as powerful as that of the First Prince and the Ninth Prince, each of them can produce more than ten or two hundred thousand troops. Once the war begins, the mortal army in the hands of the five princes is enough to reach two million.
After eradicating part of the Ninth Prince's power, the First Prince finally became the strongest one besides the old Emperor.
Of course, some people think that the eldest prince is just strong on the outside and weak on the inside. His own strength is not strong, and he has not advanced to the foundation building stage until now. If the eldest prince has reached the core building stage at this time, it can be said that the position of emperor will definitely be his.
Although the Ninth Prince was imprisoned by the old emperor, his power had been operating for many years. No one knew who was the power behind the Ninth Prince except for small sects such as the Yinsha Sect.
Some people say that the Ninth Prince has already planted spies around the eldest prince and the old emperor. He is just waiting for an opportunity that will allow him to seize the throne of the emperor in one fell swoop.
Rumor has it that the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince support the Ninth Prince. Although the power in their hands cannot be compared with that of their brothers, they also have hundreds of thousands of troops under their command.
And this opportunity is about to appear, in the past year or two.
In the end, there was only one third prince left. He was the most low-key among the nine princes. He did not fight on any side and did not have an army in his hands. He likes to study the way of alchemy, and his alchemy skills are almost as good as those of the most advanced alchemists in the Shendan Hall. During his Qi refining period, he can already refine five-star elixirs.
In addition to these three forces on the surface, there are rumors from the outside that there is another more powerful force. This seemingly scattered force has actually been twisted into a rope a few years ago.
This force is not very interested in the position of emperor, but it has the responsibility to protect the dynasty.
The controller of this power is the old emperor's only daughter, the only sister of the nine princes, and the tenth princess of the dynasty, Zhao Xingyu.
As the only daughter of the old emperor and the only princess in the dynasty, the tenth princess has received the best resources except the nine princes. She has reached the peak of Qi refining at a young age and will successfully advance to the foundation building stage with just one chance.
The tenth princess's subordinates are all stragglers, except for some casual cultivators.
After dealing with Xu Feng, Chen Yuan finally arrived at the imperial city of Da Qi Dynasty after half a month of flying with his sword. He did not come here to help any prince compete for the throne of the emperor. He came here mainly for the purpose of Two purposes.
Find the female cultivators at the Sun and Moon Gate and give them some simple help.
Although Chen Yuan is sometimes ruthless, he still misses the past. Now that he got what he wanted at Sun Moon Gate, he should show some sincerity to appreciate them.
The second thing is also the most important thing. His destination is the Qinglan Sect in Zhongzhou. He wants to find clues about the Qinglan Sect in the strongest city in the northern region. He believes that there must be some clues here.
Falling outside the imperial city, Chen Yuan strolled towards the city like an ordinary person. In less than ten miles, Chen Yuan saw the extraordinary of the imperial city, various caravans, various forces, people coming and going Going forward, there is an unusual sense of prosperity.
Whether it is a knight-errant carrying a sword or a powerful monk flying with a sword, as long as they come around the imperial city, they will stroll into the imperial city. Anyone who dares to trespass into the Imperial City will be punished accordingly. Whether it is the world's best knight errant or a monk who is as strong as the Foundation Establishment Stage, the Imperial City Guards will not take them seriously.
The Da Qi Dynasty was able to control the world for nearly a thousand years, so it must have had different powers.
After entering the Imperial City, Chen Yuan first walked into the largest restaurant in the Imperial City, Tengcheng Restaurant. He asked for two plates of side dishes and two jugs of fine wine, and drank leisurely all day long.
Bigu is the foundation of a monk, but Chen Yuan still likes secular food and wine. That kind of leisure and comfort is his yearning, but it is also his helplessness.
Comfort can be enjoyed for a while, but it cannot achieve the great road. There is absolutely no ease in the real road, only endless danger and battle.
Looking at the scenery outside the city, Chen Yuan drank until the middle of the night, and didn't finish until the waiter came to ask.
After leaving the restaurant, Chen Yuan entered the largest inn in the Imperial City. He first asked for a more luxurious room and had a good sleep.
After ten years of seclusion in the Sun Moon Gate Patriarch's Cave, he had never really slept. He really missed the feeling of waking up from a dream.
In his sleep, Chen Yuan seemed to have returned to the small mountain village, the place where he was born and raised. It held his best memories of the past sixteen years, but now he can no longer go back. Perhaps after he truly obtained the great road, he I will return to that small mountain village and leave something behind for them.
Chen Yuan slept for a full twenty-four hours. He didn't wake up from his sleep until the sound of the collision of magic weapons sounded in his ears.
As the imperial city of the Qi Dynasty, Tengcheng is absolutely not allowed to fight in the chariot city. The sound of the collision of magic weapons is definitely abnormal.
Sit down cross-legged and spread your consciousness.
In the garden behind the inn, under the night, a woman and two men were having a fierce exchange of words. Among these three people, Chen Yuan knew two.
Among them, the female cultivator Chen Yuan not only saved her life, but also had a bad friction.
Ouyang Lan is a monk in the Qi refining stage who comes from an unknown sect.
Among the two male cultivators who fought with Ouyang Lan, one of them was a big man holding a stick weapon. It was Li Erling who Chen Yuan had met at the foot of Luofeng Mountain that day. I remember that Chen Yuan also gave him some Pill.
As for the other male cultivator, Chen Yuan had never seen him before, but judging from his aura, he had the shadow of the Blood Demon Sect.
"Why are they here? And why are they fighting in the Imperial City?"
With doubts in his heart, Chen Yuan began to eavesdrop on the conversation between the three.
"Ouyang Lan, please stop being stubborn and hand over the treasure map in your hand. Our brothers will not make things difficult for you. As long as you are willing to hand it over, you will not only get two thousand spiritual wisdom as a reward, but also a top-grade item. A magical weapon, why not do it?"
Li Er was stunned with his polite words, but his aura showed no intention of restraining at all. The stick weapon in his hand was ready to deal with the opponent in one move.
"Humph, Li Er was stunned. When I first met you, I thought you were an upright monk. I didn't expect you to do such things as sneak attacks from behind. Do you really think that with the strength of the two of you, you can Do you want to take this girl down?"
By this time, Ouyang Lan's aura had reached the seventh level of Qi refining, and a high-grade magic weapon in his hand also released a dazzling light.
"To be honest, it doesn't matter to me how you evaluate me. I am forced to attack you from behind. I am taking people's money and doing things for them. I am not interested in treasure maps or anything like that at all. I only know , I will get the treasure map from you, and the Shendan Hall will be able to give me life-saving elixirs."
"Why are you talking nonsense with her? Deacon Liu is still waiting for the treasure map in her hand. We messed up the matter. Not only will Deacon Liu not let us go, but the Blood Demon Sect will also take action on us."
Another monk spoke, and the two male cultivators attacked Ouyang Lan at the same time.
