Chapter 536
Other disciples also followed out. When they first came in, they discovered that the buildings in Xuanwu City were not only more majestic but also more luxurious. The most shocking thing was the warriors walking on the street. Looking around, there were so many martial saints and generals that it was estimated that if a plaque fell down, it would hit more than three or five generals.
Yuan Jing felt that it was not without reason that the people here regarded warriors from other places as country bumpkins. How high would the vision of the warriors who had stayed in this place be? They had seen many generals and even martial saints. Would they take martial arts masters and great martial arts masters seriously? Of course not.
This was the territory of the envoys from the upper realm, so no warriors dared to cause trouble in the city. The disciples of the Xingjian Sect had a great time strolling around, even eating and drinking at the restaurant. Although they were short of money, Senior Brother Duan and Junior Brother Zhai paid for it, so it was no problem for them to treat them to a few good meals.
As soon as I came out of the restaurant, I saw several figures flying in the sky, heading straight to the top of the mountain. Someone exclaimed, "The messenger has returned from outside."
"So that's the messenger."
"No, there is only one messenger, the one in the front, and the ones behind are his attendants. In the sky above our Xuanwu City, only the messenger and his attendants can fly high. Other warriors, including flying boats, are not allowed to fly. If you want to land, you have to land outside the city and then walk in."
"I see. No wonder the sky above Xuanwu City is so quiet."
When the figures of those people disappeared into the clouds in the sky, Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi withdrew their gazes. Feng Jing lowered his voice and asked, "What realm are the envoys from the upper realm in? Where are their attendants?"
Duan Linzhi said calmly: "The messenger is the Martial Emperor, and the attendant is the Martial Saint."
Feng Jing exclaimed, "So they are all so powerful. I heard that no matter how high the realm of the envoys from the upper realm is, they can only exert the strength of a Martial Emperor at most on our continent. It seems to be true."
Duan Linzhi nodded: "This is natural. No matter how high one's cultivation is, when they come to Xuanwu Continent, they are still subject to the spatial constraints of this continent. The higher the realm, the greater the constraints. Therefore, the original strength of these envoys should not be much higher than that of the Martial Emperor. Maybe they are Martial Emperors themselves."
Yuan Jing continued, "So even though they hold a high position here, they are actually disciples of the lower level in the upper realm, right?"
Duan Linzhi nodded. He had been staying there for fifty years. Even if the environment on the mountain was good, it could not be as good as the conditions in the upper realm. These fifty years were equivalent to being demoted.
Even those attendants have only reached the level of Martial Saint. One should know that they have been selected to stay with the envoys for more than 40 years. So, these attendants are not the most talented ones.
However, for a slightly more ordinary family, if a son can be selected as a servant, the status of the family will rise rapidly. Yuan Jing remembered that in the plot, the male protagonist had offended the son of a servant's family, causing the servant to hunt him down. This shows how powerful this servant is.
After strolling around for most of the day, the group returned to their base. The Jinchi Kingdom and the Xingjian Sect had their own fixed bases in the city. At the entrance, they met Jin Huang and several other people who were talking and laughing. When Duan Linzhi and Yuan Jing approached, Jin Huang introduced Duan Linzhi to those people. It turned out that they were either the pride of a large family or princes and princesses of the royal family. All of them were outstanding people, and none of them had a low realm.
The next day, Zhai Yuanhao also arrived with the Qimu Sect. The first thing he did after settling down was to look for his eighth brother Yuan Jing. He looked around, wondering if he could tell some secrets.
Yuan Jing set up a barrier and said with a smile, "Fifth brother, you are thinking about the Dan Emperor's mansion, right?"
Zhai Yuanhao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, is the mansion that you and Brother Duan went to in the ruins of the ancient battlefield?"
Yuan Jing raised his eyebrows: "Yes, it was found there. We in Xingjian Sect also heard about it. Fortunately, you didn't go there. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to practice peacefully in Xingjian Sect and would have to worry about your safety. That place is really dangerous."
"Then why are you talking about me? It's not dangerous when you go there."
Yuan Jing smiled beautifully: "I have Brother Duan to protect me."
Zhai Yuanhao became even more angry and gnashed his teeth. It was obviously his responsibility as the fifth brother to protect his younger brother, but when he thought about the gap between him and Duan Linzhi, he immediately became discouraged, but he also had to remind him: "Be more careful in the future. Not every time you can get away with it. But I also found out about the previous incident. The thing you gave me is really too important. Taking it out at this time will only bring disaster to Qimumen."
Just look at the performance of the Danyang Sect and the Chang Family and you will know how much they desire the legendary Dan Emperor's Mansion and possible Heaven-level Soul Power Secrets. If they knew that he had them, they would definitely cut him into pieces. Even when facing the Sect Master, he sometimes has doubts. If the Sect Master knew that he had the Dan Emperor's inheritance, how would he look at him?
Yuan Jing patted him and said, "Fifth brother, you don't have to be too nervous. If you are really discovered, just push the blame on Brother Duan. We have already handed this thing over to the sect."
Zhai Yuanhao was amused. Duan Linzhi was really an excellent shield, but he had to admit that what his eighth brother said made sense. At least it could save his life at the critical moment.
"By the way, Fifth Brother, are you and Senior Sister Mu going to participate in the competition this time?"
Zhai Yuanhao scratched his head and said, "I have discussed this with my senior sister. We mean that our strength is still a little lacking. Besides, we have time, so we want to wait ten years before participating in the competition. By then, we will have a better chance and we also want to stay in the sect for a longer time. Eighth brother, are you and Brother Duan both going to participate? If you qualify, will you go to the upper realm immediately?"
Yuan Jing held his chin and said, "We have to participate, but whether to go to the upper realm or not is up to us. Fifth brother, what is your impression of the upper realm?"
"The upper realm," Zhai Yuanhao imagined, "It must be a place with abundant vitality and rare plants everywhere, and there are many Martial Saints and Martial Emperors, or even stronger than Martial Emperors. Eighth brother, I want to go to the upper realm. It would be even better if my brothers and mother could go to the upper realm together."
Yuan Jing laughed, maybe Zhai Yuanhao could really bring the entire Zhai family to the upper realm by himself. He was really optimistic because he knew that Zhai Yuanhao later obtained a treasure from the upper realm, and that treasure could hold living things. It would not be easy to take all the Zhai family members away.
For Zhai Yuanhao, perhaps he doesn't have to wait for ten years. He can break through the passage on his own and reach the upper realm.
Yuan Jing didn't want him to leave now. Apart from the Dan Emperor's Mansion and the bottom of the cliff where they went before, Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi didn't touch upon the encounters that belonged to the male protagonist. They were just waiting for Zhai Yuanhao to dig them out one by one.
Although Zhai Yuanhao did not plan to participate in the competition, he would gain a lot from coming to watch the game, and he would also cheer for Duan Linzhi, especially his eighth brother.
On Tianlan Peak, in a luxurious palace, several people were sitting together drinking tea and chatting.
Hua Wenmeng lazily leaned on the chair, threw a fruit into his mouth, and said, "It's time for the Eight Nations Tournament again. What do you think? Will the warriors participating this time be better or worse than last time? Oh, life here is too boring. Fortunately, there are only a few years left, otherwise I would really be driven crazy by this broken place."
Fan Hongan patted him on the shoulder and said, "This is the last competition we will host. The closer it gets to the end, the more we cannot afford to make any mistakes. Otherwise, we won't be able to explain ourselves when we return. You have to change your lazy attitude."
Another female warrior didn't think much of Hua Wenmeng's appearance. "You are the laziest Hua Wenmeng every time, and the tasks assigned to you are the easiest. Why didn't we call you names? This is the situation in the lower realm. Didn't you know it before you came? Tsk, I know you were sent down by the Hua family. You didn't tell us all these years. When we go back, we must know why you, the eldest son of the Hua family, were sent down."
Hua Wenmeng didn't even raise an eyelid at Ji Peilan's ridicule. He picked up another Yuan fruit and started to chew it. "What? Miss Ji looks down on me, a banished person? Miss Ji must be very important in Zixu Sect, so she was given such an important task as guarding the passage." After eating the fruit, she clapped her hands. "Well done, we should all learn from Miss Ji. You guys should listen to her."
"You..." Ji Peilan was annoyed by his attitude. What was there for her to look up to? He was just a second-generation bastard. As the legitimate son of the Hua family, he had fallen into such a situation and didn't know how to reflect on himself. If she were in Hua's position, she would definitely not stay here for fifty years.
How dare this second-generation ancestor laugh at her? When she returns to Zixu Sect, she will definitely live no worse than this second-generation ancestor based on her merits over the past fifty years. Then we will see who will have the last laugh.
Thinking of this, Ji Peilan sneered: "I'll wait and see how you, the eldest son of the Hua family, will show off your power when you return."
"Then you definitely won't be able to see it." Hua Wenmeng stood up, patted his butt, and left. It was really boring. He wanted to find some fun to pass the time, but this woman spoiled his fun.
Hua Wenmeng left, and the others advised: "Why do you have to be so fussy about it? But it's the last few years, and when we go back, we probably won't have many opportunities to meet, so there's no need to make things awkward for us."
Ji Peilan raised her chin slightly: "Who the hell is he? He still wants me to treat him well? Do you think this second-generation idiot can help us when we go back in the future? Tsk."
He is just an abandoned child of the Hua family, and his future is not as good as those outer disciples. When they go back, they will be inner disciples. As long as they work hard, they will definitely reach a height that the Hua family can only look up to.
There were also people who just ate and drank seriously and did not participate in the dispute. They had been together for more than 40 years, so what was there that they did not understand? Hua Wenmeng was not bad except for his lazy temperament, and he was good at eating, drinking and having fun, which gave them a lot of fun to kill time besides practicing.
Hua Wenmeng was very boring and didn't want to pay attention to the arrogant woman surnamed Ji. He really didn't know what there was to be proud of in such a place. Maybe she just relied on stepping on him to satisfy her vanity. Look, even the eldest son of the Hua family was stepped on by her. She would be very proud of it if it spread out. Maybe the brothers and sisters of the Hua family would be happy to hear it, and then give her some benefits. Wouldn't that be a benefit?
Hua Wenmeng was so boring that he didn't say hello to anyone and then quietly slipped down the mountain. His enjoyment of getting along with those people on the mountain was far less than that with the strangers at the foot of the mountain, because the warriors at the foot of the mountain didn't know his identity and not only didn't laugh at him, some of them even called him a brother. He could also hear all kinds of gossip about those sects and families.
After entering the city, Hua Wenmeng walked towards a restaurant he often went to. Restaurants were the best places to meet friends and listen to gossip. Other people from the upper realm did not like to deal with the natives here because they looked down on the warriors here. Compared with the upper realm, this place was not poor and backward. Most people did not even have the opportunity to see the upper realm.
People like Ji Peilan are high and mighty, but Hua Wenmeng is not like that. As soon as she walked out of the stairs on the second floor, she was attracted by two guests at a table by the window. They not only have outstanding temperament, but are also not inferior to the proud sons of heaven in the upper realm.
Hua Wenmeng walked over and bowed, saying, "Could you two Taoist friends let me set up a table? It's true that I was attracted to you two the moment I saw you."
Yuan Jing looked up and saw a handsome man in fancy clothes waving a fan. He and Duan Linzhi had been approached before, but this was the first time. He couldn't help but said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, please take a seat. There are indeed more people in the city now, and the restaurant is full."
"Thank you very much, thank you very much, my last name is Hua, Hua Wenmeng."
Yuan Jing also reported his and Duan Linzhi's names. This man was very outgoing and kept calling them Brother Zhai and Brother Duan. Duan Linzhi glanced at him indifferently and continued to take care of Yuan Jing and serve him food. He was not worried at all that Yuan Jing would be deceived by this boy.
How could he and Yuan Jing not see the peculiarity of this boy? Oh, he had condensed the cultivation of a martial emperor into that of a general. He had the cultivation of a martial emperor at such a young age. It was obvious that he came from somewhere, that was Tianlan Peak. He and the people on that peak had another name, the envoy from the upper realm.
No, it should be said that this person is an outlier among the messengers from the upper realm. From other people's descriptions, although I have never seen them, I know that the messengers from the upper realm are very arrogant. That kind of mental superiority is actually very normal, because most people in the lower realm live a mediocre life, and becoming a Martial Saint or Martial Emperor is the highest pursuit. For those in the upper realm, becoming a Martial Saint or Martial Emperor is just the beginning of their practice.
Upon learning that Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi were from the Jinchi Country on the other side of the continent, Hua Wenmeng introduced them to the scenic spots here, which would definitely make them have a great time. He also told them all about the delicious food and fun things to do, because he had been to all these places for more than 40 years and was familiar with them better than anyone else.
Finally, this kid shamelessly followed Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi to the Xingjian Sect’s headquarters. He said he had no place to live, and he got along very well with Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi, so he hoped that the two of them could take him in for a while.
