Chapter 1431
Nalan Qingtian suppressed this news and did not report it to His Majesty immediately—the Nalan clan had lost face this time, and with the death of the twelve immortals in the Divine Mine area and the more than one hundred clansmen killed by the envoy from Nine Dragons City, the Nalan clan had been severely damaged.
Such a loss, if he could personally avenge himself and recover the lost trillions of source stones, might earn him the admiration of the Kowloon City envoy.
Xuanxiao Imperial Capital, Headquarters of the God-Slaying Guard.
Here lies a mountain range stretching for thousands of miles, resembling a crouching green dragon. On top of this range are individual peaks, each with a large teleportation array.
The God-Slaying Guardians patrolling and guarding the area high above were all at least at the Myriad Manifestations Realm. In fact, as soon as Chen Xuan and Bai Li stepped out of the teleportation array, they sensed more than a dozen powerful divine senses sweeping over them.
Chen Xuan clicked his tongue in amazement, then glanced at the scene and gasped, "Is this the core of the imperial power that has ruled this world for over ten thousand years?"
For the three thousand lords and God-Slaying Guards of the Xuanxiao World, taking the teleportation array is the fastest way to reach the imperial capital in a short time.
Of course, not everyone is qualified to ride the teleportation array—aside from the Immortal Fate Gathering, which His Majesty personally ordered, and which some non-Godslayer Guard cultivators can ride, merchant guilds that do business between their jurisdictions and prefectures can only hire powerful cultivators to escort large quantities of supplies between the fiefdoms of various kings and marquises.
As soon as Chen Xuan and Bai Li stepped out of the mountain peak of the teleportation tower array, a cultivator responsible for coordinating the matter immediately appeared.
"Lord Slaughter God Guard, please show your identity card." Although the newcomer was a female cultivator in the late stage of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, her tone of voice and cold expression revealed her contempt for the other branch Slaughter God Guards.
Chen Xuan nodded and handed over the Level 4 Godslayer Guardian ID card.
A Level 4 God-Slaying Guardian identity card is generally obtained by those in the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm or even the early stage of the Returning Void Realm, who possess great strength.
Chen Xuan, with his handsome face and youthful appearance, had probably only cultivated for a hundred years. Yet, he was able to produce a Level 4 God-Slaying Guard identity card so easily, which immediately made the female cultivator, who had previously been aloof and disdainful of sharing God-Slaying Guards, feel serious.
After checking and verifying, the woman respectfully handed the ID card to Chen Xuan, and her tone and attitude changed dramatically.
"Senior, you represent Qingtian County. This booklet lists the temporary residences of many princes within the inner city of the imperial capital. You can use this guide to go directly there to meet them," the woman said, bowing as she presented the black booklet.
Chen Xuan took the booklet and said, "Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist."
After the test, Chen Xuan easily left the area of the Imperial Capital God-Slaying Guard headquarters and appeared directly in the inner city of the Imperial Capital.
As the center of power in the entire star system, this place can be described as follows: Myriad Realm experts are as common as dogs, Primordial Spirits are everywhere, and you can even occasionally encounter a lone immortal strolling around with his tribe's descendants on the street.
The skies above the entire inner city are strictly off-limits to air traffic.
"Wow, Master, look at that building. It must be at least three thousand feet tall!" Bai Li, now in the form of a small snake, had her entire body almost taut as she looked up at a huge building in front of her.
Chen Xuan also looked over, and after scanning with his divine sense, he gasped and said, "Bai Li, that is the headquarters of Wanbaoshan. All the Wanbaoshan branches under the jurisdiction of the three thousand counties in the Xuanxiao World are managed and dispatched by it."
At this moment, Bai Li was like a young woman from a remote mountain village visiting the city for the first time. She would exclaim in surprise at anything she had never seen before and would quickly tell Chen Xuan.
This scene wasn't just happening on Chen Xuan's side—many people on the hundred-zhang-wide street were in the same situation, and it was clear that these people were also arriving in the capital for the first time, completely overwhelmed by the prosperity of the inner city streets.
Now that Chen Xuan has some wealth and a broad perspective, he will patronize any snack shops, spirit wine shops, or pastry shops he comes across.
