At the end of the White Jade Avenue outside the Ancient Imperial Planet's inner circle, Li Yunshan and the 30,000 Sword Bearers did not enter the city. Even though their numbers were insignificant compared to the imperial capital, they could not be suspected of overstepping their boundaries.
Li Yunshan understood this very well. Hence, after escorting Xu Qing to the end of the White Jade Avenue, he led the Sword Bearers to set up camp at the side. Kong Xianglong and 100 Sword Bearers followed behind Xu Qing and entered the capital with Princess Anhai!
Due to the array formation's fluctuations, the bustling crowd in the capital was now much emptier!
Even though the array formation's crisis had been resolved, there were still fewer people than before.
Even so, it was still livelier than Fenghai County. Furthermore, the liveliness grew with the passage of time!
At this moment, Princess Anhai led Xu Qing and the rest into the capital as she spoke.
"Xu Qing, apart from the Five Upper and Five Lower Palaces, there are other places in the imperial capital that we need to be careful about!
"For example, the 33 Heavenly Kings' residences … Now, there are 32!" Princess Anhai paused.
"Apart from that, there are also important officials in the imperial court, such as the Prime Minister's residences, the 108 Marquises of the capital, and the princes' residences.
"All the princes are qualified to establish their own residences, but they are only limited to the capital!
"After that, there are the ten great sects of the human race. These sects have deep foundations and are still very powerful. Some of them can even be traced back to the era of Ancient Emperor Xuan You!"
When the captain heard this, he blinked and looked at Princess Anhai.
"I heard that there's a very famous sect called the Summer Immortal Palace?"
This name made Xu Qing's heart skip a beat. Ning Yan also looked at Princess Anhai. Although he knew a little about these matters, he clearly did not know as much as Princess Anhai.
Hence, he also perked up his ears to listen. Wu Jianwu was even more spirited. Anything related to Ancient Emperor Xuan You was something he was obsessed with!
However, Kong Xianglong was not interested in this. He followed his duty as Xu Qing's bodyguard and paid attention to the surroundings.
Princess Anhai nodded and continued with the introduction.
"These ten super sects are the Star Emperor Extreme Sect founded by the Starry Sky Emperor, the Heavenly King Yuling's Divine Azure Universe Sect, the Ghost Abyss Sect that controls the Netherworld Dao, and the Supreme Moon Azure Sect of the Imperial Advisor's bloodline!"
"There's also the Mystic Flame Nine Sect that formed in the future, the Nine Abyss, and the Mortal Palace that has businesses spread across many large regions. There's also the equally terrifying Sect's branch Sect that worships Face Face, which has always been searching for Divine Son Truth Yan Truth. There's also Sect Sect to the Sect's Sect to the Abyss with Face Worship.......
Princess An Qianhai's words contained a lot of information. It seemed like every sect had its own uniqueness.
Sect Sect Sect Sect..... to Sect.... to the to to the Sect....
Of the of Immortal Have.... the Sect's Sect... Sect 'Sect's Sect.
Of the Sect's Being.. up.. to her as she was, She.. was not being being being being..... it it. being... To the, Sect, Sect.. the..... Of its Sect........... To the as.. was..........,'s.....
The mission of the sects living in the abyss was nothing more than to guard the gate!
Xu Qing had also heard of Words of Wisdom before. When he was in the Southern Phoenix Continent, he already knew of the existence of such an organization. The other party was extremely mysterious and Xu Qing rarely came into contact with them.
Only now did he realize that the other party was actually one of the super forces of the Imperial City!
"Words of Truth worships Faceless Mask?" Xu Qing looked at An Haiyue with a puzzled expression.
The Calm Sea Duke sighed softly!
"There are those who revere the world and those who hate it. Naturally, there will be those who worship it. It's the same for all races, and the human race is no exception. The Word of Truth is such an organization. It's the same as the Departure Sect.
"As for their doctrine, it is to find the divine child. They believe that those who can open their eyes and find the undying are the divine children. They have the potential to become the divine child, so they are looking for such a person in the entire Ancient Gazing!"
"In fact, they even believe that there must be one. This person has withstood so many Broken Face and Open Eyes events, yet he still hasn't died. Isn't such a person favored by the gods? Moreover, he is the divine child that they are searching for!"
"After they find it, as long as they sacrifice it, they will be able to obtain divine power!"
Princess Calm Sea's words caused Xu Qing to fall silent.
"The last one is the Summer Immortal Palace that you mentioned before!"
"This palace is extremely special. Legend has it that the Summer Immortal Palace was the first sect to appear among the thousands of races in the Ancient Gazing Continent. In the beginning, the Summer Immortal Palace didn't only have humans!"
"After that, the Summer Immortal Palace split up. Many emperors and ancient spirit empresses unified the Ancient Gazing and abolished the Summer Immortal Palace's system. Imperial power is greater than anything else. They also made an agreement with the Summer Immortal Palace that they would be in seclusion all year round and not have much contact with the outside world. Every thousand years, they would only produce one disciple. They would not participate in disputes and only choose to record the thousand-year history of their race."
"Even now, the Summer Immortal Palace still abides by their agreement with Ancient Emperor Xuan You!"
As An Haiyue was speaking, the group passed by the octagonal tower that was built from fake white wood. It towered into the sky like a heavenly altar!
The tower was surrounded by white walls. There were no fluctuations in the surroundings, preventing anyone from approaching.
"The Imperial Preceptor from the Supreme Moon's Azure Sect stays in the Stargazing Tower all year round. Even many aristocrats and ministers have never seen his face.
Only Imperial Father and the Fourth Prince have seen his face! "
"The Fourth Prince is the Imperial Preceptor's disciple!"
"It's said that the Imperial Preceptor has great power and shocking schemes."
Princess An Haiyue looked up at the clouds. Clouds lingered there, and a pavilion could be vaguely seen. Dragons danced in the air, full of auspicious signs.
Xu Qing looked over and nodded slightly. Princess An Haiyue had accompanied him all the way here and told him about all the factions in the imperial capital. She was full of sincerity.
At this moment, she was on Xu Qing's side!
"Young Master, An Haiyue also needs to return to the palace. The situation in the imperial capital is changing, and the people's hearts are complicated. Young Master, please sharpen your eyes and carefully examine them!"
An Haiyue bowed, and Xu Qing returned the gesture.
Along the way, he had felt Princess An Haiyue's goodwill towards the tower. Naturally, he had to reciprocate the goodwill shown by others!
"I also hope the Princess is well. In the future, if you need me in the imperial capital, please let me know!"
An Haiyue smiled and turned to leave!
Looking at Princess An Haiyue's back, Ning Yan blinked and was about to say something, but after glancing at Zixuan, he chose to shut his mouth!
However, his actions were like a mirror in Zixuan's eyes. Thus, she spoke indifferently!
"Ning Yan, let's go to your residence!"
Ning Yan hurriedly nodded and led the way to his residence in the imperial capital!
As a prince, he had lived outside since he came of age. Every prince had their own residence in the imperial capital. Ning Yan's residence was located in the northern district of the imperial capital. It was slightly more remote than other places, but if one looked at it from a different angle, it was very quiet!
The residence was not small, and it had three floors. Outside, there was a mirror-like lake, which formed a whole with the residence. Whether it was the scenery or the atmosphere, it was very stylish!
The style was delicate and elegant, and there were some bells on the turrets. When the wind blew, the lake's surface rippled, and at the same time, the crisp sound of the bells echoed in all directions.
Looking at this place from afar, Zixuan's eyes were filled with satisfaction and admiration. Xu Qing could also see that this building was different from the other houses they had seen along the way. The team leader beside him also sighed in admiration!
"The wind moves with the water, and the sound rises with the heart, seeping into the mind. It is very unique. Generally speaking, there must be treasures born here!"
As he spoke, he instinctively looked at the lake and licked his lips!
Ning Yan looked at the residence with a melancholy expression and said softly, "This was built for us by my mother when she was alive!"
Then, he didn't lead the way by flying, but walked directly to the lake!
His feet landed on the water surface, and immediately, a ten-colored koi fish jumped out of the water. When the sunlight fell on the koi fish, it was colorful. Its whiskers were very long, and the water droplets that splashed out were very beautiful!
Koi fish like this appeared one after another on the water surface. They seemed to have spiritual intelligence and recognized their owners!
They kept jumping out of the water and sent Xu Qing and the others all the way to the lakeside!
Unfortunately, when they stepped on the shore and appeared at the entrance of the residence, the feeling of artistic conception dissipated because of the dilapidated state of the residence!
This residence looked fine from afar, but when they looked closer, because no one had lived here for many years, the smell of decay hit them in the face with the passage of time!
The red door was mottled, and the bell on the door was full of rust. When the door was pushed open, the courtyard was overgrown with weeds and looked very bleak!
Looking at this place, Ning Yan felt bitter in his heart. He forced a smile and looked at Xu Qing and the team leader!
"I'm home!" Xu Shengqing patted Ning Yan's shoulder, and the team leader waved his hand!
"Little Ning, your house is not bad. Come, come, come, let's clean it up together. I think this is a place with good feng shui. According to my deduction, this place is obviously a place with hidden dragons. This means that your future is not simple!"
Ning Yan was touched and nodded heavily, cleaning up with the others.
They had not been in this residence for long. The entire residence was cleaned up very quickly by Xu Qing and the others. Kong Xianglong even brought the sword bearers to inspect the surroundings very carefully!
However, Ning Yan looked a little downcast after inspecting all the rooms. He stood there in a daze.
Seeing this, Xu Qing went over to ask about it!
Ning Yan hesitated, but in the end, he still whispered the reason!
"A few things are missing. They were left behind by my mother. When I left last year, I was in a hurry, and I could not bring those things with me, so I left them at home!"
"Now they are missing. I just sent a voice transmission to Third Sister to ask about it. She said that she had checked for me. It was the Tenth Prince who took them without permission!"
"The Tenth Prince's mother's family is like the First Heavenly King of the human race, the Suppressing Flame King. The Tenth Prince has a domineering personality. He is not liked by the First Heavenly King, but very few people dare to provoke him!"
"If he took them, it will be very difficult to get them back!" Ning Yan said bitterly.
Xu Qing pondered for a moment and turned to look at Kong Xianglong.
Kong Xianglong's eyes shone brightly as he looked at Xu Qing. He knew what Xu Qing was thinking!
"Brother Kong, get someone to send a jade slip to the Tenth Prince's residence and tell him to return the things he borrowed within a day!"
