Meng Zhang, along with Han Yao and the others, left the Hengjue Mountains through the long-distance teleportation array and arrived at the mainland of the Dali Dynasty.
The world was spinning for a while, and it felt like not a long time had passed before Meng Zhang's figure appeared in a hall.
The five criminal guards who came before him left the hall and walked outside with familiarity.
Although he came with this group of five criminal guards, Meng Zhang had also said beforehand that he would act alone and they did not need to wait for him.
Meng Zhang came outside the main hall and found that there was a huge fortress outside the main hall.
There are many powerful defense facilities in the fortress, both external and internal. The most elite imperial guards of the Dali Dynasty are stationed in the fortress.
Not only are all the key positions of the fortress heavily guarded, but there are also teams of elite sergeants patrolling everywhere, leaving no blind spots.
Fortunately, Meng Zhang came here with Wu Xingwei, and he also has the identity of Wu Xingwei's guest.
So you go through a dedicated channel, and the inspection process is very simple.
If other cultivators are directly teleported here, they will have to undergo very strict inspections, and their identity and origins must be investigated clearly before they can be qualified to enter or exit.
This is Shangjing, the capital of the Dali Dynasty, and the most important place in the entire Dali Dynasty.
Both externally and externally, they are heavily guarded and maintain a high level of preparedness.
The long-distance teleportation circle is a shortcut to the upper capital, so of course it must be strictly guarded. If the enemy is allowed to sneak in, the consequences will be disastrous.
There are a total of four similar fortresses in Shangjing City.
In each fort, there are different long-distance teleportation arrays.
Such a fortress will firmly protect the long-distance teleportation circle and ensure that there will be no problems.
Through the long-distance transmission array in the fortress, the capital of the Dali Dynasty, Shangjing, maintained close contact with the entire Dali Dynasty, various parts of the mainland, and enclaves outside the mainland.
A very important factor that determines the size of a dynasty's territory is transportation and communications.
The Dali Dynasty distributed a large number of communication stone tablets to various places to ensure that information from the court could be conveyed to various places as soon as possible.
A large number of long-distance teleportation arrays covered almost all the land of the Dali Dynasty.
The natural chasm became a thoroughfare, connected by thousands of rivers and mountains, and the entire Dali Dynasty was connected as one.
In terms of the territorial scope of its rule alone, the Dali Dynasty exceeded most of the sects in Junchen Realm, including those in the Holy Land.
After Meng Zhang passed the inspection, he left the fortress alone.
He wanted to walk around the capital alone, and there were some things that were not convenient for others to know.
These four fortresses are located at the four corners of Shangjing City. The fortress where Meng Zhang and others are located is located to the east of Shangjing City.
All the scenes when Meng Zhang left the fortress and went to the capital fell into his eyes.
In Shangjing City, in addition to the monks performing official duties, there are also those high-ranking ministers and dignitaries. Ordinary cultivators cannot fly high at will.
Cultivators from all walks of life are divided into three, six or nine levels according to their status, and each enjoys different rights and interests in Shangjing City.
As far as Meng Zhang is concerned, if he is the head of the Taiyi Sect and a monk in the Yuanshen stage, he can fly at a height of less than ten feet at most.
As a fifth-level guard, he can usually fly within a space of less than thirty feet. If you are performing official duties, there are no restrictions.
Meng Zhang flew to a height of twenty or thirty feet and looked into the distance.
In Shangjing City, the buildings are very neat and orderly.
The entire city is divided into different squares.
Each square is a separate square.
Some are residential areas and some are commercial areas.
Shangjing City, as the capital of the Dali Dynasty, is a city where immortals and mortals are mixed, and cultivators and mortals live together.
Of course, although there are many mortals in the entire city, they are more or less related to cultivators.
Either a mortal relative of a cultivator, a mortal servant who serves a cultivator, or a servant of a servant, etc.
High-level cultivators will naturally be served by low-level cultivators. Low-level cultivators, if they are of ordinary origin, can only have mortal servants.
The whole city has good security and order.
As soon as Meng Zhang left the fortress, a dozen young monks in the Qi Refining Stage surrounded him.
They are all locals who earn some income by being familiar with the surrounding environment and working as guides.
Meng Zhang randomly selected an honest-looking young man and asked him to take him around the city.
Although I already knew from various intelligences that Shangjing is an extremely majestic city.
But being there, I was still shocked.
Meng Zhang is a man who is poor in words and cannot find many words to describe this huge city.
The guide who was leading the way used his magic technique to walk quickly ahead, and Meng Zhang followed behind as if he was walking slowly but actually fast.
Meng Zhang didn't come to Shangjing for sightseeing, and he didn't have much thought. He went to some irrelevant places and delayed for too long.
The guide led him around for a while, then followed his instructions and headed to his destination.
The guide led him through the residential area and the commercial area. It took him most of the day to circumvent half of the city and arrived at Meng Zhang's destination, which was outside the imperial city of the Dali Dynasty.
Meng Zhang glanced at the guide in surprise. He was just a young monk in the Qi refining stage. He had good attainments in the art of divine movement and was very fast.
The imperial city of the Dali Dynasty was also a very spectacular city.
The towering city walls outside are all made of wall bricks carefully refined by the weapon refiners.
The surface of the city wall is covered with dense runes and prohibitions.
On the city wall, the Imperial Forest Army wearing standard armor patrolled back and forth.
Tall arrow towers are placed one after another, and giant cannons and crossbow arrows made by machine skills are deployed among them.
The key departments of the imperial court center of the Dali Dynasty were located on the outskirts of the imperial city.
The inner city of the imperial city was the palace city where Emperor Bawu and his concubines lived.
Meng Zhang threw a handful of spiritual stones, dismissed the guide, and walked directly to the guards outside the imperial city gate.
The imperial city guards who originally looked at Meng Zhang with disdain saw Meng Zhang showing his waistband of the Fifth Penal Guard, and after careful inspection, they let him in.
What if Meng Zhang had not joined the Five Penal Guards and had a backer, but had come here alone. Just entering the imperial city and reaching the Yamen where you want to go will take a lot of time and energy.
Regardless of whether he is a monk in the middle stage of Yuanshen or the leader of a sect, this status is really not as useful as the status of Wu Xingwei in Shangjing City.
The Dali Dynasty had a vast territory, and there were many cultivators and powerful people like clouds.
Especially in the capital city of the dynasty, a large number of top monks from all over the world have gathered. The number of monks in the Yuanshen stage can be said to be too many or too few.
Without special status or someone to take care of them, Yuanshen stage monks really wouldn't be able to enjoy themselves that much.
