"Brother Qiye, why are you so absent-minded?"
Under the blue sky, the army rushed towards Chang'an quickly. Wuquan followed Lin Qiye on horseback and asked in confusion.
"…I just think it's a little strange."
"strangeness?"
"Nothing involving the Crimson system is simple. I blew up the red meteorite and released the colorful smoke inside... Although something unexpected did appear, I still feel that it started well but ended badly."
Lin Qiye looked back again; the mountain stream shrouded in colorful smoke was so far away that it was almost invisible.
"He could have disguised himself as any one of us, so why did he choose me? Doesn't he know that my Hongmeng Spirit Embryo is the most difficult to replicate?"
"Brother Qiye, are you thinking too much?" Wuquan said to comfort him, "Even if the meteorite is really a thing of the K-type, it is just a part split from the red star... its power may not be as strong as you think?
Or maybe it didn't expect the existence of Hongmeng Spirit Embryo?"
Lin Qiye frowned, glanced at Wuquan beside him, and suddenly asked:
"Wuquan, did you keep the forbidden item Shen Qingzhu gave you before?"
Hearing this, Wuquan was suddenly stunned and asked in confusion:
"When did Brother Qingzhu send me the forbidden item?"
Hearing this, Lin Qiye's expression relaxed a little, and he shook his head, "Nothing..."
Naturally, Shen Qingzhu had never given Wuquan the forbidden item. Lin Qiye suddenly asked this question in order to prevent Wuquan from being secretly replaced. The colorful smoke was too strange, so it was better to be cautious.
"Lin Qiye." A voice came from a distance.
Lin Qiye turned his head and saw Zhan Yuwu riding a horse towards him.
The evil spirits in the daytime were not as rampant as at night. After last night's fighting, everyone was a little tired under the warm sunlight, but Zhan Yuwu's eyes were shining, and he looked at Lin Qiye with an extremely fiery gaze.
"Deputy General Zhan."
"Don't be so polite, just call me Yuwu." Zhan Yuwu waved his hand and said, "By the way, I just want to ask you, is your strong body a special ability of yours, or is it acquired through training?"
“It can be considered a special ability.” Lin Qiye answered vaguely.
Hearing this, Zhan Yuwu sighed regretfully, "I should have thought of it earlier... I thought you had some special physique, or a secret method to temper your body... If that's the case, then I'm willing to pay any price in exchange for your secret method."
"Isn't Vice General Zhan's [Annihilation Moon] already very powerful?"
Zhan Yuwu was slightly stunned. "How did you know? The name [Miansheng Shanyue] was only given by Yan Zhongcai yesterday..."
"Didn't I say that I came from the future?" Lin Qiye smiled.
"Tsk, you're joking again." Zhan Yuwu laughed dryly, "However, I want this secret method of tempering the body not for myself, but for the Marquis... Although the Marquis's ability is extremely powerful, it seems to have a great impact on his lifespan. If there is a suitable method of tempering the body, it should be able to make up for part of his lifespan.
Although the Marquis has his own training method now, it is still far inferior to your body."
Lin Qiye raised his eyebrows, then shook his head helplessly.
It was the first time he knew that tempering the body could make up for part of the lifespan of the [Emperor of Domination]. Unfortunately, the strength of his body was entirely due to the Hongmeng Spirit Embryo, and there was no so-called secret method.
“Come to think of it, we also encountered a strange man with a strong body in the northwestern border, but his strength is pitifully weak compared to yours. His punch can only destroy a house at most…” Zhan Yuwu followed Lin Qiye and began to talk about what they had seen and heard along the way.
Lin Qiye did not expect that Zhan Yuwu, who originally looked calm and strong, also had such a talkative side. However, he did not resist. Marching on horseback was boring anyway, and it would be good to hear more about this era.
The army rushed at full speed towards Chang'an. There were not many evil spirit attacks during the day. They only encountered two in total, which were easily killed. However, according to Zhan Yuwu, encountering evil spirits in broad daylight is quite rare.
Time passed little by little, the bright sunlight dimmed again, and Lin Qiye's heart gradually lifted.
There was only one night left to reach Chang'an. Judging from the situation of the previous two nights, the evil spirits would become more rampant at night. He could imagine that the army would face another brutal battle tonight.
As night fell, Zhan Yuwu returned to his original garrison position. Lin Qiye and Wu Quan stayed at the rear of the army, always on guard at the rear.
On the dark earth, afterimages flew by. Lin Qiye could sense their sights, constantly hovering around the weak points of the army... But the strange thing was that although there were many evil spirits lurking around, not a single one of them pounced forward.
Lin Qiye originally thought that they were waiting for an opportunity, but in the blink of an eye, half a night had passed and the entire army still had not suffered any attack.
"Why are you suddenly so quiet today?" Lin Qiye asked puzzled.
"Maybe we scared them by killing them last night? In the second half of the night, no evil spirits dared to attack us, right?" Wu Quan thought for a moment and said.
Lin Qiye frowned, thinking about it, it seemed that this was the only possibility.
To everyone's surprise, the last night before arriving in Chang'an was unusually smooth. The army did not suffer any attack. When a hint of dawn appeared in the sky, a towering and magnificent city wall appeared in everyone's sight.
"Chang'an, we're here." Zhan Yuwu murmured to himself.
Lin Qiye and Wu Quan looked at the city wall in the distance and saw many figures waiting at the city gate at dawn to enter the city.
"It's just dawn, aren't they afraid of evil spirits?" Wu Quan asked.
"Chang'an is the residence of the emperor. The dragon energy gathers here, like a natural barrier that can dispel evil spirits, so the danger here is much less than other places." Zhan Yuwu paused and continued, "But along the way, there are also rumors that Chang'an has also been affected by evil spirits... I don't know if it's true or not."
Dragon Qi...
Lin Qiye thought of the island that guarded the country's destiny. In modern times, there was no such thing as an emperor, so the country's destiny and dragon energy were artificially diverted to the bottom of the island. In a sense, that was the heart of destiny, and the same was true for Chang'an today.
Perhaps it was because of seeing Huo Qubing's flag, a general immediately came out of Chang'an City. Huo Qubing rode up to him and talked with him for a moment, and then ordered the army to station on the edge of Chang'an City, so that they could enjoy the protection of the dragon energy without disturbing the lives of the people in the city.
Huo Qubing, along with several generals and Yan Zhong, walked up to Lin Qiye.
"Let's go, follow me into the city."
