Chapter 1156

An Old Friend

"Lu 'er, who is this?"

After Miao Lu pulled Zhuowen onto Uncle Liu's bronze bird, the young man standing on the other bronze bird asked with a tinge of jealousy.

Looking at the jealous young man, Miao Lu frowned slightly and said indifferently, "Fang Yu, this has nothing to do with you, right?"

The young man called Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and a cold light gushed out. This cold light was not directed at Miao Lu but Zhuowen.

"Kid!

Miao Lu is the princess of our Celestial Empire. Don't be a toad lusting after a swan's meat. If you know what's good for you, you'd better stay away from her. "

A vicious voice rang out in Zhuowen's mind, causing Zhuowen to frown slightly. His gaze landed on Fang Yu indifferently. However, he only glanced at him and did not pay too much attention to him.

Fang Yu's cultivation was not very high. He was about twenty-five years old in the Xuanzun Realm. In the Qing Xuan Empire, those who could reach such a cultivation at such a young age could be crowned as geniuses.

Moreover, from the trace of arrogance in Fang Yu's eyes, Zhuowen could guess that Fang Yu's status in the Celestial Empire was not low. However, he did not care at all. It could even be said that he did not place Fang Yu in his eyes.

The current Zhuowen already had the strength to kill a second-level Martial Emperor. Cultivators below the Martial Emperor Realm were indeed not worthy of his attention.

Fang Yu also sensed the trace of indifference in Zhuowen's eyes. The coldness in his eyes became even more intense. However, he did not make a move. This was the territory of the Imperial Capital. If they were discovered here, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Uncle Liu's eyes flashed. He naturally saw through Fang Yu's strange behavior. However, he shook his head. How could he not see through Miao Lu's thoughts? He did not have any feelings for Fang Yu. Fang Yu's pursuit of Miao Lu would only end in failure.

However, Uncle Liu was surprised that Miao Lu was so passionate towards this unfamiliar young man. He could even see that Miao Lu's expression towards Zhuowen carried a trace of shyness.

"This young man … I can't see through him?"

Uncle Liu carefully sized up Zhuo Wen. Only then did he discover that even with his current cultivation, he still couldn't see through this young man who was only in his twenties. He couldn't even see through the five people that the young man had brought with him. Uncle Liu couldn't help but be shocked by this discovery.

"Could it be that they are all above the Golden Exalt Realm?"

Uncle Liu could not help but exclaim in his heart. He knew that there were only two situations where he could not see through them. The first was that their cultivation was higher than his, and the second was that they were hiding their cultivation. However, seeing that Zhuowen's group did not deliberately hide their auras, it was obvious that they were in the former situation.

"These people aren't simple. When did Miao Lv find them?"

Uncle Liu took a deep look at Zhuowen's group. Soon after, he blew a loud and clear whistle. Immediately, the bronze bird below his feet let out a cry, spread its wings and soared into the sky. In an instant, it had reached a height of over ten thousand miles.

Whoosh!

Above the clouds, Zhuo Wen stood quietly on the back of the bird. The whistling wind blew his messy hair and made it dance in the air.

"This should be the work of Elder Shiyuan, right?" Zhuowen asked Miao Lv, who was beside him, with a smile.

Miao Lv smiled and said, "It is indeed the work of Elder Shiyuan. It is precisely because of Elder Shiyuan that the Celestial Empire's military strength is much weaker than the Imperial Capital's. However, with the Origin Formation refined by Elder Shiyuan, the Celestial Empire has the upper hand in every battle. For the past year, the Imperial Capital has been unable to do anything to the Celestial Empire."

Zhuowen nodded. As an Arcanist, he was very clear about the powerful role of an Arcanist in a war. If a powerful Origin Formation was placed on the battlefield, it could easily kill many weak soldiers. No matter how many soldiers there were, they would not be spared.

Zhuowen and Miao Lv's conversation did not lower their voices. Uncle Liu, who was standing in front of the bronze bird, naturally heard the conversation between the two. Especially when he heard Zhuowen mention Elder Shiyuan, Uncle Liu was even more certain that this person's identity was definitely not the same.

Elder Shiyuan's status in the Celestial Empire was equivalent to the Heavenly Emperor Lü Hantian. He was an extremely revered figure by countless warriors in the Celestial Empire. Looking at Zhuowen's tone, it was as if he was talking about a good friend. Uncle Liu was surprised and doubtful.

The speed of the bronze bird was very fast. It was even much faster than Zhuowen who had three pairs of thunder wings. However, the distance between Muqin County and the Imperial Capital was not short. At this speed, it would probably take two or three days. Therefore, Zhuowen was not in a hurry. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the back of the bird. Occasionally, he would talk to Miao Lv, but most of the time, he was immersed in cultivating the River Diagram Formation.

It was worth noting that Fang Yu, who was on the other bronze bird, would occasionally cast his gaze in Zhuowen's direction. Especially when he saw Miao Lv frequently talking to Zhuowen enthusiastically, his expression became colder and colder each time.

Two days later, the bronze bird finally arrived at the capital of Muqin County. Looking down at the unfamiliar yet familiar city from thousands of miles above, Zhuowen's eyes revealed a trace of emotion. Back then, his martial path had begun here. It was also here that he had met Lü Hantian, an extremely important brother to him.

Revisiting an old place always gave Zhuowen a trace of excitement.

The security of the provincial capital was unexpectedly tight. Numerous soldiers wearing heavy armor continuously patrolled the tall city walls. The sound of orderly footsteps continuously resounded in one's ears.

"That's … Lord Liu and the others, as well as Princess Miao Lv, have also returned."

The soldiers on the city wall immediately noticed the three descending bronze birds. Their eyes were filled with respect. The news of Princess Miao Lv's return had already spread throughout the county when Uncle Liu and the other two went to welcome her.

As the princess of the Celestial Empire, Miao Lv was both talented and beautiful. Her temperament was unparalleled, and her reputation in the Celestial Empire was quite high. Furthermore, Miao Lv was only seventeen or eighteen years old, the most beautiful period of a woman's life. It could be said that she had countless suitors in the Celestial Empire.

After descending from the sky, Miao Lv pulled Zhuowen and headed straight for the House of Marquis Qin. Ziyang and the other four silently followed behind Zhuowen.

"Humph!"

Seeing this scene, Fang Yu coldly snorted, his eyes filled with coldness. Uncle Liu also noticed the displeasure in Fang Yu's eyes. He shook his head and said, "Fang Yu, the young man that Miao Lv brought back is not simple. I advise you not to provoke him. Otherwise, the consequences will not be good."

Hearing Uncle Liu's advice, Fang Yu's pupils shrank. The coldness in his eyes grew even more intense as he said, "Uncle Liu, I think you're worrying too much."

As he spoke, Fang Yu followed closely behind Miao Lv. Uncle Liu's brows slightly knitted as he shook his head and sighed. How could he not know what Fang Yu was thinking? However, he could not care too much about the matters of young people.

"Princess!"

When they arrived at the entrance of the mansion, the two guards respectfully greeted Miao Lv. Soon after, the group entered the mansion without any obstructions.

"Big brother Zhuo!

Elder Lu and Elder Shiyuan are currently cultivating in the Yuan Qi Tower. You should wait in the guest hall for a while. I will inform the two of them. They will come out from the Yuan Qi Tower when the time comes. "

In the hall, after Zhuowen, Ziyang and the other four sat on chairs, Miao Lv instructed Zhuowen before walking towards the Yuan Qi Tower.

"Master!

Muqin County is somewhat extraordinary. If I'm not wrong, the Yuan Qi Tower should be an Emperor Weapon. It has been sealed in Muqin County and even Emperor Qing did not discover it.

I'm afraid that it has already been successfully refined by Lü Hantian. "

Ziyang's eyes flickered as he glanced at the Yuan Qi Tower and whispered to Zhuowen.

Zhuowen nodded. In fact, as his cultivation continued to increase, he increasingly felt that the Yuan Qi Tower was extraordinary. It could actually contain a miniature world. This could only be done by an Emperor Weapon. However, Zhuowen's cultivation was too low and he had never discovered it.

"Big brother Hantian should have discovered the secret of the Yuan Qi Tower long ago. He was waiting for the moment he reached the Emperor Realm to completely refine the Yuan Qi Tower into his Natal Emperor Weapon." Zhuowen muttered in a low voice.

After Miao Lu left, Fang Yu slowly walked in. Beside Fang Yu, there were two youths of similar age. The two youths looked very similar, and they should be close blood brothers.

Seeing the two brothers beside Fang Yu, Zhuowen's mouth curved into a smile. These two brothers were no strangers to him. They were the second prince of the House of Marquis Qin, Lv Yongsheng, and the third prince of the House of Marquis Qin, Lü Yuanhua. They had conflicts with Zhuowen and were taught a lesson by him.

"Brother Fang Yu!

There's actually someone who dares to deceive our Princess Miao Lv?

Is this person tired of living? "

Lv Yuanhua purposely shouted loudly the moment he entered the guest hall. His voice was filled with piercing intent. Lv Yongsheng's gaze was cold and gloomy as his attention landed on Zhuo Wen and the other five seated in the hall.

"Haha!

Brother Yongsheng, Brother Yuanhua, I won't lie to you about this matter. I don't know what method this brat used to make Princess Miao Lv take the initiative to hold his hand. Apart from deceit, I really can't think of any other method to make the Princess go to such an extent. Furthermore, this person's purpose in coming here isn't pure. I suspect that this person is very likely a spy from the Imperial Capital. "

Fang Yu smiled faintly. His voice was a little loud, but after he finished speaking, he found that the atmosphere was a little strange. This was because he found that Lv Yongsheng and Lü Yuanhua, who were originally standing beside him with an overbearing aura, were silent at the same time.

When his gaze fell on Lv Yongsheng and Lü Yuanhua, he found that the two of them were staring straight at Zhuowen. Their gazes were filled with fear, as if they had seen a ghost.

Just when Fang Yu was curious about the two's reaction, Zhuowen slowly stood up and said to Lv Yongsheng and Lü Yuanhua with a smile, "Brother Yongsheng, Brother Yuanhua, it's been a few years since we last met. How have you been?"

"You know each other?"

Hearing Zhuowen's greeting, Fang Yu was startled. Soon after, he asked Lv Yongsheng and Lü Yuanhua in surprise.

Lv Yongsheng and Lü Yuanhua didn't pay attention to Fang Yu at all. Recalling the rumors about Zhuowen, the two brothers immediately had a warm smile on their faces. They went up to him, nodded and bowed, and said with a smile, "So it's Brother Zhuo!

Why didn't you tell us that you were coming back? "
