"Boss, have you noticed anything wrong?"
Not long after walking on this very spacious main road, the big crab from the Eight Gates team couldn't help but ask everyone.
Entering into the moat, this huge outer area of the imperial city gives people an extremely empty feeling, even there are very few people to be seen.
The prince seemed to have thought of this question a long time ago, and answered the big crab's question with a smile on his face.
"Because this is the Xuanyuan Imperial City, these two words are enough to answer your question. Not just anyone can enter and leave freely here."
Not long after, a team of carriages and horses stopped in front of the prince and others. There were about dozens of people. What is worth mentioning about these people is that they were not dressed in military uniforms and armor. They looked more like some assassins. Everyone was dressed in black and did not even have larger weapons.
However, even Xu Yang couldn't help but look up at the fluctuations in the aura released by these people. There was no doubt that these dozens of people were the guards near the Xuanyuan Imperial City.
Their duties are simple: 365 days a year, they circle around the Xuanyuan Imperial City all the time, and if they find anyone suspicious approaching the target, they will kill them without mercy.
Their most terrifying power is that anyone they identify as dangerous will be killed on the spot without even asking for permission.
After solving the suspicious targets, they have more rights to dispose of them at will, whether to throw them into the nearby wilderness or mountains, or to refine them into nothingness on the spot, it all depends on these dozens of people.
Each patrol team has a leader who is fully responsible for handling these matters.
Of course, every month, these patrol guards would personally submit a report to Emperor Yunlong.
The names of all the people they have dealt with will be presented to Emperor Yunlong Tiandi. As for what kind of power secretly controls these people, no one knows.
After seeing the prince's team, the team of carriages and horses in front of them came to Xu Yang's team respectfully. They first nodded slightly to the prince, and then glanced at Xu Yang and others with sharp eyes.
Just when the prince was about to personally explain the identities of Xu Yang and others, as well as the purpose of their entry into the Xuanyuan Imperial City, the leader in black said nothing, waved his hand behind him, got back on the carriage, and continued his tour.
Soon it disappeared from everyone's sight.
“What the hell am I doing?
They didn't say a word from beginning to end, and just let us go?
Could it be that in their eyes, we are not a threat at all?"
The big crab suddenly felt ignored, which made him very unhappy, but his words also made the Fifth Prince and others laugh.
"It seems that they have received special orders from the Imperial City and deliberately let us pass. I think it should be the order of the Emperor."
But the smoother the journey was, the more invisible pressure it brought to Xu Yang and others.
What kind of person is Yunlong Tiandi?
Everyone knows this very well, but during this trip, Xu Yang's team seems to have received special treatment or special care more than once. Is there any intention behind such an arrangement?
Or is it unintentional? No one can give a clear answer.
However, making the best of things has always been Xu Yang's principle. Since Emperor Yunlong has not made any special arrangements, there is no need for his team and others to scare themselves.
Eventually, one has to meet the Emperor of Heaven himself. No matter what his attitude is, as long as one can enter the Xuanyuan Imperial City, all the answers will be revealed.
There were no further obstacles until they arrived at the foot of the Xuanyuan Imperial City. The golden-armored warriors guarding the north gate of the imperial city conducted a very strict check on every member of Xu Yang's team as a routine.
In particular, the battle axes carried by Arnold and others were also confiscated one by one.
Regarding the confiscation of weapons.
The members of the Eight Gates team were mentally prepared.
After all, this is the Xuanyuan Dynasty.
How could it be possible to allow a top-level team of cultivators like Xu Yang's team to come to the emperor with their own equipment?
"Your Highness, King Wu, there is an order in the city. Today is the second day of the seventh month. All those who enter Xuanyuan Imperial City must go through the Suzaku Gate and worship the Suzaku statue before they can enter the city further."
Hearing what the city guarding general said, the prince didn't seem surprised at all, as if he had been prepared for it.
I have to admit that the Fifth Prince is very thorough and rarely makes mistakes in such minor details. I nodded with a smile.
When the Fifth Prince was going to pay homage to the statue of Vermillion Bird, Xu Yang had his followers prepare some gifts. Only after the team of generals defending the city had screened Blood Blade one by one and confirmed that there was no danger did they open the north gate.
Just when the huge city gate was slightly opened, everyone in Xu Yang's team was completely shocked by the majestic scenery of the Xuanyuan Imperial City before them.
"Oh my God, this can't be the Imperial City. This is the most magnificent place I have ever seen in all my years of life."
The big crab was stunned, and the other brothers in the Eight Gates Team had the same expression.
“All under heaven belongs to the king. Standing at the top of the power and position and being able to enjoy such a majestic palace is probably the life that most people in this world dream of.
Even if I have to bear eternal loneliness because of this, I think it is worth it.
At least for any man, it is natural to have such a dream. "
The old crow, leaning on his walking stick, couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart. It was a bit exaggerated to say that the Xuanyuan Imperial City was a fairyland, but all the buildings here had a sense of dignity that was out of reach.
Not to mention the corridor leading from the north gate to the Suzaku Gate, which is nearly a hundred meters wide horizontally.
The prince led Xu Yang's team without any further hesitation. After passing the inspection of the city guarding general, he immediately led everyone straight to the right side where the Suzaku Gate was located.
After walking for about half an hour, we finally saw the outlines of some new buildings. The so-called Suzaku Gate is actually a mountain road. We go around this mountain road and enter the temple area where the Suzaku Gate is located. Only after paying homage can we enter Xuancheng from the back mountain.
For some reason, after Xu Yang stepped into the Xuanyuan Imperial City, he felt particularly close to the direction of the so-called Suzaku Gate.
A very familiar feeling emerged in Xu Yang's body.
