After nearly two weeks, the floating boat of the Xiangyu Sect finally arrived outside the city of Luojing.

Under the setting sun, this majestic city lies on the ground, extremely square, with dozens of kilometers of city walls standing tall. The residents coming in and out below are smaller than ants and too weak to be seen.

On the north side of this huge city that accommodates millions of people, a straight mountain rises from the ground, like a seal standing on the earth, with its top reaching into the sky and invisible from afar.

"That mountain is Yuzhang Mountain. It is said that Lord Chifeng lives on the mountain."

On the deck of the floating boat, Gu Lie pointed to the distance and introduced to the disciples beside him that he had been here many times and was quite familiar with it.

Although Yuzhang Mountain may be only one percent the size of the entire giant city, its towering posture is ethereal and fascinating.

"It is said that when the current emperor was a child, he also received teachings from Master Chifeng on Yuzhang Mountain."

"Wow, I'm so envious that I can actually meet Lord Chifeng directly."

Some fellow disciples exclaimed in surprise. In this East, the wind of the five virtues was like a god in the sky, with a lofty status that was not visible to ordinary people.

Seeing everyone's envy, Gu Lie smiled without saying anything, but turned his gaze to the girl in the corner behind him.

The silver-haired girl sat on the windowsill with her hands at her sides, gazing at the vast city of the mortal world below, her mind seemingly drifting away again.

"Junior Sister Luo Lan, are you missing someone?" Gu Lie walked over slowly.

"Well, actually, I made quite a few friends in the West Continent before. I wonder how they're doing. Oh, and there were a few who seemed to be from the East Continent. They came back later, and I don't know where they are now."

"You can tell me about this junior sister. I have quite a few acquaintances in Luojing, and maybe I can help find out something."

"Really? Thank you, Brother Gu Lie." Luo Lanxier raised his head with a happy face.

Looking at the silver-haired girl, Gu Lie couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then he reacted.

"It's okay, it's just a small matter."

Then Loran Hill said Ye Ling's name, and Gu Lie held up his cheek and thought for a while.

"Could it be a child of the Ye family? From your description, she comes from a good family and is very talented. She should be very famous, but I have never heard of her before. Perhaps this is because I don't have much contact with the Ye family."

Seeing Gu Lie's answer, Loran Hill mentioned the name of Ye Ling's cousin, Nan Ke, and then mentioned Bu Lushuang, Bu Youdao's name.

"Bu Youdao, I seem to have seen this person before." Gu Lie finally recognized one of them.

"He is the third son of the Bu family's direct lineage. He is currently enshrined in the Biluo Xiaoyao Palace. I met him three years ago when I was traveling around the north."

"At that time, I was fighting with several peers from Xiaoyao Palace, and he was watching from the side. I saw that he was very powerful and wanted to invite him to a duel, but he refused, saying that he had been improving his cultivation method recently and his strength was not stable, so he was not suitable for fighting."

"Xiaoyao Palace specializes in the Huayu (Angel Sequence) and Baihua (Natural Sequence) arts. It's also a world-renowned sword sect. It used to be from the same lineage as the Qinglian Xijian Palace, but later on, the Qinglian Xijian Palace produced more geniuses, which overshadowed its reputation. Today, Xiaoyao Palace is also quite powerful, and is probably second only to the Xijian Palace in terms of sword skills."

"Is there any difference between the Sword Sect and other sects? Why are they called that?" Loran Hill asked the latest question.

"Haha, if we really want to talk about the difference, it's actually not that big. It's mainly because these factions have been good at swordsmanship since ancient times and have a wide influence. And our Xiangyu faction, strictly speaking, belongs to the Zhuyan faction, thanks to the inheritance of the Fenxiang Patriarch and Huang Feng."

"There are also the Beast Taming Sect, which specializes in controlling giant dragons and monsters, the Ritual Sacrifice Sect, which specializes in dragon vein techniques, the Tiangong Sect, which specializes in engraving creations, and so on. There are even some unique sects that have become independent schools, such as the Red Immortal Sect hundreds of years ago, which was particularly good at manipulating poisonous insects and was also known as the Poison Sect."

"However, over the past century, the various schools have interacted with each other and complemented each other's strengths, and their characteristics are no longer as obvious as they used to be."

"Alright, the floating boat is about to land, why don't we go down together? I'll go to the Bu family and ask. Maybe Bu Youdao's sister is in Luojing now."

"Thanks."

Then Loran Hill jumped down from the windowsill and followed his fellow disciples down the high stairs to the outside of Luojing City.

Passing through the towering city walls, you enter this thousand-year-old capital, which is extremely prosperous. There are magnificent buildings of varying heights everywhere, and the roofs are intertwined like layers of mountains.

"Living in Luojing is not easy." Because it is home to the world's nobles and wealthy, the land is extremely expensive, so the buildings are extremely close together.

As this group of disciples dressed in yellow feathered robes stepped into the city, special officials immediately came to guide them.

"Are you the disciple of Xiangyu? Please follow me." An official in a green and gold-embellished official uniform led the way for the crowd.

"Now, thirty-six families have come to visit, twenty-one have arrived, and more than a dozen are on the way. This Red Tower Sword Fight will be held on the eve of the Autumn Moon Lantern Festival..." He introduced the arrangements in the Luojing government to everyone with a kind and patient tone.

Many of the current generation of disciples in the Xiangyu Sect were still young and were visiting Luojing for the first time. They looked at the bustling streets and the various figures on both sides, and from time to time they looked around curiously and made low discussions.

"Thank you." Gu Lie nodded with a smile, then called on his fellow disciples to follow.

The guiding official, Di, belongs to the Chunguansi, an official of the Lilongfang who is responsible for sacrificial ceremonies. They all wear green clothes with gold embroidery on the cuffs and chests, which looks very beautiful.

"It's peach blossoms that are embroidered, Senior Sister Luo Lan." Yu Tingyu whispered beside the girl, and then Luo Lan Hill also turned his gaze.

During the Plantagenet dynasty, officials whose robes were embroidered with golden flowers were generally those assigned to the four seasons: the Spring official had peach blossoms, the Summer official had water lotuses, the Autumn official had chrysanthemums, and the Winter official had frost green. Other officials in the dynasty wore robes embroidered with dragons. Those guarding the coastal areas wore robes embroidered with dragons, while those guarding the northern border wore robes embroidered with tiger-eyed dragons. Still others, those supervising civil engineering projects, wore robes embroidered with the dragon "Qiu Niu Li Long."

As for the king's clothing, it is embroidered with golden phoenixes to show that he inherited from the Phoenix of the Five Virtues. At the same time, he wears a seven-colored jade crown with seven strings of pearls on his head, in response to the Seven Phoenixes Yingtian Zhenyan Mansion Lord.

"arrive."

After saying this, the official led everyone to stop in front of a tall courtyard archway. There were eight guards wearing golden Hongshan armor stationed under the archway, all of whom were skilled fighters above Sequence Four.

[Nandou Academy] Four large golden characters are engraved on the archway.

The official led everyone into the academy and helped them arrange their accommodation for the period.

"In the past, this was where the students who came to Beijing to take the imperial examinations lived. Now that the exam is over, it's vacant." He explained as he walked. From time to time, several young men walked out of the buildings on both sides. They were all members of major sects from various places.

"Sister Jialan~" A soft voice sounded in an attic somewhere, and then Loran Hill looked up and saw the girl standing by the windowsill.

"Tang Nanlian..." Looking at that cute face, Luo Lanxier finally remembered the girl he met in Lei Xiaze in the past.
