At the entrance of the general"s manor, there were a dozen armored guards holding weapons standing by the side of a horse carriage.
Long Zhan was standing on top of the courtyard steps, explaining the things that Chu Hen had to do before he left.
A month pa.s.sed just like that.
According to their agreement with Li Gu, it was about time to report to the Di Feng Martial Palace. Although there was still some time until the recruitment deadline for the s, it was still necessary to quickly familiarize himself with the academy"s environment.
"Uncle Zhan, I can go to the imperial capital by myself. You don"t need to trouble yourself with so many people escorting me." Chu Hen said.
Long Zhan shook his head and said, "Little Marten, to be honest, I"m more worried that the old fellow, Liu Xuan, would harm you midway. If I had more people to escort, I would be able to rest at ease. I had originally planned to ask your big brother and second sister to personally bring you to the Di Feng Martial Palace. Coincidentally, they replied that they had been rather busy recently … ""There"s no need to ask big brother and second sister to come back. I"m already this old, so there"s no need for you to worry."
"That"s right!" In the blink of an eye, all three of my children have grown up. " Long Zhan lightly patted Chu Hen"s shoulder, the way he said it was somewhat touching.They were not father and son. Even more so, father and son!
Chu Hen"s lips slightly pursed, and a smile that came from the bottom of his heart emerged on the corner of his mouth.
"Uncle Zhan, I"ll be back as soon as I have time."
"Hur hur, good!"
Long Zhan heaved a sigh of relief, and said in a deep voice, "It"s getting late, you guys can leave immediately! "Remember, if you encounter any problems that you can"t solve in the capital, go and find your big brother and second sister."
"Yes, I understand!""Go!"
"Patriarch, don"t worry!" We will safely escort Young Master Hen to the capital. " The leader of the guards said resolutely.
"Uncle Zhan, take care!"
Chu Hen who was in the horse carriage leaned out of the window.Long Zhan nodded with a faint smile. His usually sharp brows now revealed a gentleness like a father.
Under Long Zhan"s gaze, the carriage gradually moved further and further away. Just like the two children before him, Long Zhan"s heart was slightly heavy.
However, he understood that a hatchling bird that did not leave its nest would not be able to grow better.
Above the nine heavens, the young eagle spread its wings.Riding the wind and breaking the waves, soaring 10,000 miles!
The great peng rose with the wind, rising more than ninety thousand li in length.Compared to the imperial city, the Lin Yan City was simply too small. This was a gathering of the strong and the weak, a compet.i.tion between the strong and the weak. Whether Chu Hen was a dragon or a worm, it was clear to see.
… ….
At this very moment, Chu Hen, who was sitting in the carriage, also had complicated emotions.
Ever since he was young, every single detail of his life in the General"s Estate had been flooding into his mind like floodwaters. Long Zhan had always been a strict elder, whether it was treating Chu Hen or his own two children.In the days before they parted ways, Long Zhan would often leave the matters of the General"s Hall to interact with Chu Hen, or give him pointers on their shortcomings in terms of martial cultivation.
When they were about to leave, Chu Hen finally felt how much of a burden he had towards Long Zhan and the General"s Estate.
Very quickly, Chu Hen"s indifferent sorrow for leaving was overwhelmed by the sense of antic.i.p.ation that gradually emerged.
The imperial capital of the Saint Star Dynasty was a place that everyone yearned for.There lived the most ill.u.s.trious and powerful family in the empire …
Originally, Old General Longbo had been bestowed the imperial capital residence by the imperial family, but he had been declined by Old General Longbo. The old general who had just returned from the front lines only hoped to live in peace in his homeland of the Lin Yan City. He was not willing to partic.i.p.ate in the imperial government"s affairs.
After that, the situation changed. Old General Longbo pa.s.sed away in a crane, and this matter was slowly forgotten by the people.
The capital was vast and had many resources, and there were many n.o.bles.
As the imperial city of the Saint Star Dynasty, the total population of the imperial city exceeded forty million. Other than the commoners, there were countless merchants travelling back and forth from the north to the south, driving the development of every major industry in the imperial city.
In the eyes of outsiders, the imperial city of the Saint Star Dynasty was just like a "city that never sleeps".
Here gathered the prosperity, the n.o.bility, the prosperity, the power …Most importantly, with the many good quality High Martial House Academies, the imperial city had become the cradle for the young cultivators of the Saint Star Dynasty, the gathering place of countless astounding talents.
… ….
"Young Master Hen, we"ve arrived at the imperial city!"After almost half a month of traveling, Chu Hen and his group successfully arrived at the imperial capital.
Long Zhan was not worried about anything along the way. The Liu Family did not send anyone to kill them, which eased the tension in the guards" hearts."This place is?"
Chu Hen got down from the carriage, and what entered his sight was the people walking in and out of the carriage. The clamoring noise was everywhere, and most of them were young men and women about Chu Hen"s age.
"Young Master Hen, this is a relay station outside the Capital City. Foreign carriages are not allowed to enter the city directly. That"s the city gates of the imperial city … "The leader of the guards explained as he pointed in a direction.
Chu Hen looked in the direction that the other party was pointing in, and saw that several hundred meters in front of him, a grand and tall city gate was right in front of him.
The grandeur of the city gate was something that the Lin Yan City could not compare to, and right above the city gate that was almost fifty meters tall, two sharp and imposing words were imprinted.Capital!
In the lower right corner of the word "imperial city", there were a few smaller words: "East Gate City".
"East Gate City?" Chu Hen"s eyes turned serious as he asked, "Then is there still Ximen City, South Gate City and North Gate City?"
"Hehe, Young Master Hen is right. The Capital City is big, and has a population of more than forty million. The area it covers is also the largest in our Saint Star Dynasty."
Chu Hen nodded and continued looking around. There were heavy soldiers guarding the city walls.One by one, the armored guards stood straight like spears in their hands, displaying a valiant and formidable momentum.
"Third brother …"
At this moment, a shout filled with surprise sounded out.
Chu Hen"s mind lit up, and in the next moment, a young man dressed in green walked out from the crowd of people and came to their side."Big brother!"
"Young Master Qingyang!"
Chu Hen and the guards of the general"s residence shouted at the same time.
The person who came was a young man with an extraordinary appearance and a handsome appearance. Every move he made exuded a sense of elegance. This man was none other than Long Zhan"s eldest son, Long Qingyang.
"Haha, third brother is really you!" "It"s been half a year since we last met, and you"ve already grown so tall..."Long Qingyang held onto Chu Hen"s arm, his eyebrows filled with joy. Chu Hen was equally overjoyed. In the past, when he was young, Long Qingyang took special care of him and had always treated him as his own brother.
The last time the two brothers had met was half a year ago, when Long Qingyang had returned home."Big brother, why are you here?" Chu Hen asked.
"It was father"s order for me to come here and pick you up. Originally, Xuan Shuang was also coming with you, but unfortunately, she had some matters at the "Hao Yue Martial House" and couldn"t leave, so I came alone."
Long Xuanshuang, Long Zhan"s daughter.Last year, Long Qingyang and Long Xuanshuang came to the imperial city to partic.i.p.ate in the High Martial House"s a.s.sessment.
Long Xuanshuang was accepted by the Haoyue Martial Palace.
Long Qingyang then entered the Mighty Elephant Martial Palace.
In the Hao Yue Martial House, the Mighty Elephant Martial Palace was one of the famous Five Great Academies, and was equally as famous as the Di Feng Martial Palace. Of course, the reason the two siblings did not enter the same academy was because of their line of bloodline s.Long Qingyang"s line of bloodline was the "Burning Flame Martial Body", but Long Xuanshuang"s was the "Ice Martial Body"... These two line of bloodline had existed in the history of the Long family"s family tree before. The two of them belonged to the line of bloodline that had pa.s.sed down from their ancestors.
… ….
The moment Long Xuanshuang was mentioned, a beautiful girl that was as cold as ice and frost appeared in her mind.
In fact, the relationship between Chu Hen and Long Xuanshuang was not as good as that between the two of them. Perhaps, in Long Xuanshuang"s heart, he still felt a little resentful towards Chu Hen, this" family member "that was not related by blood.
It was most likely not because she did not have time, but it was just that she did not wish to come.
Long Qingyang seemed to have seen through Chu Hen"s thoughts, as he unconsciously patted his shoulders and said, "Xuan Shuang is truly busy this time, and not long ago, she had completed her transformation into a line of bloodline. After leveling up from the "Ice Martial Body" to the "Ice Soul Battle Body", the power of her bloodline has become even stronger and restless. She has to go into seclusion for one month to recuperate. "
"What?" Second Sis" line of bloodline has levelled up to a "Battle Body"? "
Chu Hen was both surprised and happy for the other party.
Receiving the pleasant surprise from the bottom of his heart from Chu Hen"s eyes, Long Qingyang also smiled and nodded: "That"s right! Xuan Shuang"s talent is the highest in our family. I believe that one day, with her talent, it is very possible for her to reproduce the "Profound Body" line of bloodline from her ancestors. "
Martial Bodies, Battle Bodies, Profound Bodies, and the legendary Sacred Bodies …
The line of bloodline decided the path of martial arts success point, and in the process of growth, relying on one"s own ability as well as external factors, could allow the line of bloodline to continuously strengthen, and also complete its transformation and upgrade.
Of course, if one wanted to make the line of bloodline transform and level up, it would be extremely difficult.Amongst the countless geniuses, only a small number of monstrous geniuses were able to advance from the martial body to the battle body. And not a single person within ten thousand with the ability to transform a "battle body" into a "profound body" was a monstrous genius that was rarely seen in a hundred years. In addition to his own innate strength, most of it depended on the help of external factors.
In the history of the Long family, there was only one ancestor who possessed a line of bloodline with a "Profound Body".
After that one glance, the Long family bloodline"s power continuously weakened. Now that there was a genius like Long Xuanshuang, it was naturally for the clan to see the hope of recovering their Profound Body line of bloodline.If that day were to come, then the Long family would definitely receive glory that surpa.s.sed the past.
The appearance of any one of the profound bodies would definitely cause the Saint Star Dynasty to attach great importance to them.
… ….
"Oh right, third brother, did your line of bloodline awaken? "What kind of physique is this?" Long Qingyang suddenly asked.
"This?"Chu Hen was slightly startled, he did not know how to reply. According to what he knew, it was impossible, but if he were to say that he had not awakened the line of bloodline yet, how would he explain himself in the future?
Just as Chu Hen was thinking about how to answer, the leader of the guards suddenly stepped forward and said, "Young Master Qingyang, since Young Master Chu Hen has sent it to your side, then we should return to the Lin Yan City."
"Oh? So fast? You guys rarely make a trip to the capital, so you can stay here for a few days. I"ll write back and tell Father that he won"t blame you. "Long Qingyang had always been kind to others, even when he was a subordinate of the General"s Estate.
"No, Young Master Qingyang. Right now, the three of you are in the imperial capital, and the Patriarch is taking care of everything in the family. We should return as soon as possible to help him."
"Alright then!" All of you should be careful on your journey. "
"Thank you for your concern, Young Master."
Following that, the team from the General"s Estate that escorted Chu Hen began their journey back to the Lin Yan City.
"Third brother, it"s currently the most lively time of the year in the imperial city. Let me take you on a tour around …" Long Qingyang was in a very good mood.
Chu Hen laughed, and said, "Big brother, you should take me to Di Feng Martial Palace to report first! "It"s not too late to play after you"ve settled your business.""Haha, you are still the same as ever. After everything is done, I will think of other things. Alright, I"ll bring you to Di Feng Martial Palace now … "
After he finished speaking, Chu Hen, under Long Qingyang"s lead, walked in the direction of the Capital City.However, a dark, cold gaze watched the two young figures, who were gradually disappearing within the human crowd.
Within the imperial city, the undercurrents were surging!
