Black Dragon Empire
After entering the Imperial City, Zhuowen realized that the Imperial City was much more prosperous than before. There were even more cultivators here.
Moreover, the city walls of the Imperial City were much thicker and taller than before. They must have been specially repaired after the previous battle.
Walking on the huge street, Zhuowen was surprised to find that the name of the Qing Xuan Empire had been changed to the Black Dragon Empire from the conversations of the people around him. The new Emperor of the Black Dragon Empire was called Emperor Bai.
Zhuowen knew that Emperor Bai was probably Bai Mei.
"Looks like Bai Mei is interested."
Hearing that the Qing Xuan Empire had been renamed to the Black Dragon Empire, Zhuowen's lips curled into a smile. Moreover, from the discussions of the cultivators around him, it seemed that they had a good impression of Emperor Bai and respected him.
It seemed that after a few months, Bai Mei had managed to keep the Imperial Capital in good order.
Walking slowly towards the Imperial City's dungeon, Zhuowen was not in a hurry to summon Bai Mei. Instead, he strolled around the Imperial City, quietly looking at the people and things around him. He sighed in his heart.
The Imperial City was a place that left a deep impression on him. This place carried many of his memories. Previously, because of the battle with Emperor Qing, he did not have the time to take a good look at this place.
Now that he had settled everything, he naturally wanted to take a good look at the Imperial City. However, the more he looked, the more he felt that things had changed. The Imperial City had changed too quickly.
"Get out of the way, all of you get out of the way. Don't block my view. Otherwise, all of you will be caught and beheaded."
Suddenly, a delicate cry was heard from the front of the street. Soon after, Zhuo Wen was surprised to discover that the originally densely packed crowd in front of him had consciously parted. Moreover, he could sense that the faces of those who had parted were filled with intense fear.
"It's actually the daughter of the Country Guarding Marquis, Miss Qin Xunmei. The Country Guarding Marquis is a big shot recently promoted by Emperor Bai. His position in the Imperial City is extremely high, only below Emperor Bai. He is a very popular person now."
"We can't afford to offend the daughter of such a person. Otherwise, we might really be caught and beheaded. That would be too unjust."
"Let's get out of the way. Don't block the way."
Suddenly, there was a burst of whispers in the surroundings. Zhuo Wen also looked in front of him in surprise. He had never heard of this Country Guarding Marquis before. However, from the discussions around him, he knew that the Country Guarding Marquis should have been promoted recently. He should be Bai Mei's confidant.
In front of them, a woman in a light red dress was riding a huge griffin and rushing towards them.
This woman had a graceful figure. Her waist was like a water snake, and there was a belt with red stripes. If one looked closely, the belt was actually a small snake that was constantly spitting out its tongue.
At this moment, the woman was skillfully driving the Griffon as she chased after a black shadow in front of her. The black shadow was extremely fast. Even though the woman in red was riding the Griffon, she was unable to catch up to it in a short while.
Zhuowen narrowed his eyes and saw that the black shadow that was escaping in front of him was actually a python that was about a meter long. This python was quite strange, it actually had three heads.
"Three-headed Flaming Spirit Snake?
No, it's a little different from the Three-headed Flaming Spirit Snake. "
Zhuowen narrowed his eyes. He realized that this python was similar to the Three-headed Flaming Spirit Snake that he had encountered in the Dragon Vein. However, the Three-headed Flaming Spirit Snake was fiery red all over. Although this python also had three heads, its surface was dark gold.
Moreover, the aura of this Three-headed Flaming Spirit Snake was far more powerful than the Three-headed Flaming Spirit Snake. However, Zhuowen realized that this Three-headed Flaming Spirit Snake was not large in size. It was probably still in its infancy and was not very powerful. It was probably around the level of an Ultimate Emperor.
Although the woman in red's aura was weaker than this Three-headed Flaming Spirit Snake and was only around the level of a Ultimate Emperor, there were two figures following behind her. These two figures' auras were much more powerful. They were actually Ultimate Emperors.
It was because of the two figures behind the woman that the Three-headed Flaming Spirit Snake was escaping in such a sorry state.
"Let's see where you can run to."
The distance between the Griffin and the Three-headed Flaming Spirit Snake was getting closer and closer. Finally, the woman swung her right hand and pulled out the small snake at her waist. She used it as a whip and flung it out.
The small snake was not ordinary. The moment the woman flung it out, the snake's body immediately swelled to several feet long. Extremely blazing flames appeared on its skin. In an instant, a sea of fire appeared and blocked the Three-headed Flaming Spirit Snake's path.
Hiss hiss hiss!
The little snake hissed a few times as its path was blocked. However, its reaction speed was extremely fast. With a swing of its tail, it changed its direction and rushed to the side. The direction it was rushing towards was exactly where Zhuo Wen was.
Zhuowen raised his eyebrows. He did not expect the Three-headed Flaming Spirit Snake to choose him. Could it be that he had concealed his aura and was like an ordinary cultivator, so it chose him to be a pushover?
Thinking of this, Zhuowen was a little amused. The Three-headed Flaming Spirit Snake was only an ultimate eight-wheel Emperor. This kind of strength was as insignificant as an ant in front of him. However, his gaze quickly turned cold.
The Griffin girl also reacted. With a wave of her hand, the Flaming Python in her hand was flung over. Terrifying flames burst out and directly enveloped Zhuowen and the Three-headed Flaming Spirit Snake.
The cultivators who were originally standing not far from Zhuowen scattered like birds and beasts. Their faces were filled with lingering fear.
This Guardian-guarding Marquis' daughter, Qin Xunmei, was indeed unruly. She did not even treat the cultivators as human beings. Although the Three-headed Flaming Spirit Snake was heading towards Zhuowen, it was not to the extent of attacking him as well.
"That is a Flaming Python. The young man's aura was weak just now. Under such an attack, I'm afraid he will be finished."
The surrounding cultivators, who had escaped a calamity, rejoiced as they turned their gazes back to the flames. Their eyes were filled with pity. They knew that the young man had suffered an unexpected calamity and was most likely going to meet a tragic end.
Swoosh!
A black shadow swept out from the flames and attracted everyone's attention. Immediately, they saw the Three-headed Flaming Spirit Snake fleeing in panic.
However, the Three-headed Flaming Spirit Snake's aura was very weak at this moment. It was obvious that it had suffered serious injuries from the attack just now.
"Let's see where you can run to.
Capture it for me. "
The girl raised her right hand and kept the Flaming Python in her hand. Then, she ordered the two figures behind her.
"Yes, Miss!"
The two of them were middle-aged men in their thirties and forties. They wore heavy black armor. The two of them took a step forward and blocked in front of the Three-headed Flaming Spirit Snake. The two of them blasted out a palm at the same time. Yuan Power spurted out and set off violent energy ripples.
Boom!
Under such an attack, the Three-headed Flaming Spirit Snake wailed and fell from the sky to the ground. It struggled a few times on the ground but could not get up for a while.
"Miss!"
One of them unceremoniously pinched the Three-headed Flaming Spirit Snake in his palm. Yuan Power spurted out and formed a transparent prison, causing the Three-headed Flaming Spirit Snake to be unable to move. After which, he handed it over to the girl.
The corner of the girl's mouth revealed a pleased smile. She extended her jade-like hand and pinched the Three-headed Flaming Spirit Snake. She said, "Little fellow, you still want to escape?
You should obediently become my pet. "
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
The Three-headed Flaming Spirit Snake's body continued to twist and turn. The golden stripes on its body emitted a glow and its eyes were filled with fury.
"Hee hee, it is useless even if you are unwilling. You are destined to become my pet."
As she spoke, the girl pinched the Three-headed Flaming Spirit Snake and said to the two middle-aged men beside her, "Since we have captured this little fellow, let's return home."
"Leave?
Are you sure you want to leave just like that? "
Suddenly, an indifferent voice resounded, causing the body of the girl, who had originally turned around, to stiffen. Soon after, the red-clothed girl slowly turned around. When she saw the young man, who was quietly standing at the same spot, her beautiful eyes revealed a tinge of surprise.
"You are actually not dead?"
The surrounding people also turned their attention to the young man. The expression in their eyes was no different from the girl's.
The young man's aura was not strong, but he was actually unharmed under the girl's attack. This caused the surrounding people to take a few more glances at him.
"Oh?
You have hidden your cultivation. You are actually unharmed under the attack of my Flaming Spirit Snake? "
This time, the red-clothed girl finally sized up the young man in front of her. The surprise in her beautiful eyes quickly turned into a mocking expression.
Zhuowen stared indifferently at the red-clothed girl. He pointed at her and said, "Now, kneel down and apologize to me. Otherwise, you will not have the chance later."
When these words came out, the entire surrounding fell into silence. Everyone looked at Zhuowen with a strange gaze. They secretly muttered in their hearts, "Did water enter his brain? He actually dared to ask the Country Guarding Marquis' daughter to kneel down and apologize to her face."
Even Qin Xunmei revealed a startled expression. Soon after, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed. Suddenly, she laughed softly and said, "You want me to kneel down and apologize?"
Zhuowen did not waste any more words. His right hand stretched out in the air. Instantly, the red-clothed girl, who was originally sitting on the Griffin, felt as if there was a huge mountain pressing down on her body. The Griffin she was sitting on exploded into a cloud of blood mist, and Qin Xunmei fell to the ground in the cloud of blood mist.
Plop!
Qin Xunmei groaned in pain and knelt on the ground. Countless drops of blood dripped down from mid-air, dyeing her entire body blood-red. She looked like a delicate and beautiful rose.
"Presumptuous!"
The two middle-aged men, who were originally beside Qin Xunmei, had a slight change in expression. They shouted loudly and violently rushed towards Zhuowen.
Zhuowen slightly tilted his head. His cold demon-like pupils stared indifferently at the two middle-aged men. Then, he merely stretched out a palm. Yuan Power spurted out and transformed into a huge invisible palm.
Plop!
Under the invisible palm, the two middle-aged men did not even have the chance to groan before they exploded into two clouds of blood mist. They were deader than dead.
Hiss!
The moment the two middle-aged men died, the surrounding crowd fell into silence. They stared unwaveringly at the young man, who was bathed in the rain of blood. Their eyes were filled with fear.
