After leaving the embassy, Ye Chen and his group did not linger, but directly boarded a van and headed to their designated location.
"This time we went to see Elder Qin. You should have heard of his name. Qin Ming, one of the thirteen chief officials of the official committee, a great figure who has lived for nearly a thousand years, and also a lord of the eighth rank!"
"His territory no longer requires much personal management; it is currently located in the Dark Demon Plane, guarding against darkness, and is also the eternal city within the Dark Demon Plane!"
Sitting in the car, Sun Xiuzhu introduced the three of them with great respect: "The Thirteen Chief Officials of the Official Committee are the faith of everyone on Blue Star, the guardian deity of the entire planet."
The so-called Eternal City refers to a lord's territory. A sufficiently powerful territory has the function of suppressing darkness. Such a territory, located in the darkness, can not only effectively resist the darkness, but also become a supply station and sanctuary for other lords.
Since Elder Qin's territory is located in the Black Demon Plane, there is a territory in the Black Demon Plane that will forever suppress the darkness, thus protecting the Black Demon Plane from the erosion of darkness and providing a way out and a place of refuge for the lords of the surrounding planes.
Hearing Sun Xiuzhu's words, Ye Chen and the others couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. They hadn't realized it before when they heard Qin Lao's name, but now that they heard Qin Ming's name, they remembered that it was actually this big shot.
The ability to build an eternally unyielding dark city and guard a plane is the lifelong pursuit of most lords.
The car didn't travel for long. Although Blue Star wasn't large, it wasn't a place that could be reached by car. Instead, it turned to the nearby airport and took them by plane to what was once part of China, now Chang'an City.
Ye Chen and Fatty had never been to Chang'an City before, but now they had witnessed the prosperity of this world-famous metropolis.
It is said that this place was once the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the last dynasty of China. After that, darkness came and the lords awakened. This place once flourished for a time, until the unification of the blue planet and the abolition of national restrictions by countries around the world, with official committees coordinating human development.
Even so, Chang'an City has never declined. On the contrary, with the development of the times and keeping up with the trend, it has become more and more prosperous and is now the most prosperous city in the Huaxia region.
"This is it, everyone be respectful!" After getting off the plane and driving for another three hours, Ye Chen and the others finally stopped outside a manor. After Sun Xiuzhu informed them, he led the group to wait patiently.
"Hiss~~~ I heard that land in Chang'an is incredibly valuable, and a house can cost hundreds of millions. Such a large estate must have cost a lot of money, right?" the fat man asked with envy, but Sun Xiuzhu shook his head.
"Old Qin is a man who has lived for over a thousand years. It is said that he lived in this manor before the invasion of darkness, and it has been renovated several times and is still standing today!" Sun Xiuzhu said in a low voice, which startled Ye Chen and the others.
Damn, if this were on Earth in my previous life, it would definitely be a tourist attraction and a famous historical site!
"Creak~~~" Soon, the heavy iron gate blocking everyone's way was slowly opened, and the driver drove in at the gatekeeper's signal, heading towards the exquisite villa in the distance.
"What is this?" Sitting in the car, the fat man looked out the window in astonishment. He actually saw many creatures that did not belong to Earth living here.
"Silence! An eighth-tier lord is comparable to a god. Even if he is not on his own territory, his divine sense is enough to cover the entire planet!" Sun Xiuzhu shouted, his face full of solemnity.
"..." Upon hearing this, the fat man immediately fell silent, and everyone sat up straight, waiting for the car to arrive at its destination.
"Little Sun! Don't be so nervous, they're just some strange beasts! As long as they don't leave this manor, they'll be fine!" A gentle voice rang in everyone's ears, startling Fatty and the others.
“That being said, young people should still have reverence for the strong!” Sun Xiuzhu said respectfully. At the same time, Ye Chen and the others realized that Elder Qin was communicating with them through divine sense.
This is a technique that only high-ranking lords can use. Even Oros, who has already reached the seventh rank, can use it after practicing for a while, but he can't do it as casually as the other party.
"Sorry! The boys are ignorant and have disturbed Elder Qin!" Having figured out the key point, Ye Chen also spoke up, just as Sun Xiuzhu said, there is no shortage of respect for the strong.
"Haha, it's alright, don't be like that kid, relax, I'll be waiting for you inside!" The voice in his mind rang out again, and to Ye Chen's surprise, the voice did not sound old.
The car quickly drove in and finally stopped in front of a luxurious villa. Two beautiful and charming maids appeared and guided them into the villa.
"Old Qin!" As the group entered, a young man was sitting on a sofa in the luxurious hall, passionately... playing a game?
"Old? Do I look old? Alright! Sit anywhere, I'll finish this game!" the young man said, staring at the huge screen in front of him without looking up. The fat man subconsciously wanted to sit down, but found that no one around him was moving. So he twisted his waist gracefully and stood up again.
Everyone looked at the screen, which wasn't playing any strange game, but rather the rather old fighting game, "The King of Fighters".
It was impossible to tell which version of Ye Chen it was, but it was clear that the opponent was playing very passionately, with various combos constantly coming up, obviously having a very good understanding of the character they were using.
A few minutes later, with Iori Yagami's one-versus-three victory, the game ended with a huge KO. The young man put down the controller with satisfaction and turned to look at Ye Chen and the others.
"How was it? Was my Yagami move pretty good?" Qin Ming, who looked young, smiled smugly, showing no signs of the pressure of an eighth-tier expert.
"That's impressive, but I still prefer Mai Shiranui! She's big enough!" Before Ye Chen and the others could reply, the fat man blurted out instinctively.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was jolted awake, realizing what he had said, and his face immediately fell.
"Hahaha! Judging by your physique, you're a total anime fanboy. You know, fists are the only true measure of power!" Qin Yang laughed loudly. Seeing his appearance, Ye Chen and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the other party looks like a young man. It doesn't affect his age at all. As his strength increases, his lifespan can be extended. Lords are immortal beings. With his strength, it would be easy for him to keep his appearance young.
