44 Caught a Little Thing
"Stop! Please tell me who you are and why you are here!" Unlike the guards at the gate, the guards at the palace are very strict.
The flying boat stopped in front of the gate of the palace, and a group of guards wearing fine iron armor and whose cultivation levels were above crystallization appeared on the city wall.
"Ye family, Ye Wen, came here specifically to pay homage to His Majesty." Although he had a good relationship with the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, official rhetoric was still needed.
As soon as they heard that they were from the Ye family, the expressions on the guards' faces softened a lot, and it didn't take long for special ministers to come to greet them.
The other person is slightly fatter, has a peaceful face, and is well-dressed.
The greeting actually has several meanings. First, it is to confirm the true identity of the visitor. Second, confirm that there are no suspicious people on the spacecraft. Third, after the identity is confirmed and there are no suspicious persons, the real welcome session begins.
The guards were young, and their cultivation levels were not very high. There were many powerful gods in the Zhou Dynasty, and it was impossible for them to see all of them. The ministers who greeted him were different. He was hundreds of years old and he was Yuanying. As an old friend of His Majesty the Emperor, although he had not visited the imperial capital for 200 years, the appearance of Ye Wen, who had transformed into a god, had not changed. The ministers recognized him immediately. .
"Master Ye Wen! Long time no see!" The minister glanced at Ye Wen with his spiritual eyes, not to offend, but to make sure that he was not wearing a human skin mask, and Ye Wen would understand.
"Long time no see, your name seems to be Liu Xi?"
"It's me! Lord Ye Wen can remember me! I'm so lucky to be here for three lifetimes, so honored!" Not to mention the background of the Ye family and the gap in cultivation between the two parties, just the relationship between His Majesty's old friends, Liu Xi has to Licking wildly.
Ye Wen didn't have any expression, and there were many people licking him: "Although it's very late now, can you take me to see His Majesty?"
"Of course it's no problem! His Majesty will be delighted when he knows you are here." Liu Xi came up to the flying boat. He had just noticed Ye Yong. Such a handsome man who seemed to be able to shine, even a blind man could see it.
"Is this..." Liu Xi was still very discerning and guessed Ye Yong's identity in seconds, but as a minister, he had to speak in a more cryptic way. He couldn't say it clearly even if he knew the answer, so it was good to be vague.
"Junior Ye Yong." Ye Yong performed a monk's salute.
"Sure enough, it's Master Ye Yong!" Liu Xi quickly returned the greeting, and then directed a burst of rainbow farts at Ye Yong, saying that he was young, promising, and polite.
Qin Shimeng had already removed the aura props. This was the imperial city. She continued to maintain a "low-key" state. It was easy to be regarded as someone with agenda. After telling Liu Xi her name, she was also praised a lot. .
At this time, the flying boat slowly sailed into the palace, with soldiers riding spiritual pets leading the way. The palace is heavily guarded, with one post every five steps and one sentry every ten steps.
After Liu Xi praised the guests, he began to focus on the fifth elder of the Blood Flame Sect.
At this moment, the fifth elder was thrown into the corner of the flying boat like cargo and continued to be in a coma.
Although he is seriously injured, it is not easy for the cultivator to die. With a strong physical body that has been tempered by spiritual power, even in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, which is at its peak, it may not be possible to injure him in the slightest without the help of high-level magic weapons. .
"Who is that?"
"I don't know, but I can be sure that he is a member of the Demon Sect and is on the third level of God Transformation."
Liu Xi's somewhat chubby body suddenly trembled. This was terrible. He carefully observed the appearance of the fifth elder for a while, but he didn't recognize him either. There are tens of millions of demon cultivators, and it is impossible for Liu Xi to know the appearance of every demon cultivator.
Liu Xi didn't ask any more questions and just stopped, because when he saw His Majesty later, Ye Wen would say everything he should say.
As a welcoming minister, Liu Xi was very good at finding topics, at least not to make the guests feel bored. He talked about some recent happenings in the imperial city and interesting surrounding stories. It didn't take long for Feizhou to arrive at the main hall under the guidance of the leading soldiers.
Everyone landed one after another, Ye Wen put away the flying boat, and several people walked into the hall.
The main hall is used to entertain guests. Needless to say, the environmental specifications perfectly display the aesthetics and financial resources of the royal family.
Liu Xi had already used the sound transmission stone to notify the imperial dining room. Not long after Ye Yong and the others took their seats, all kinds of food and wine were put out.
"Your Majesty will be arriving later. Everyone has come a long way and has something to eat first."
About ten minutes later, the sound of His Majesty's arrival was heard outside, and then a man wearing a dragon robe, who looked to be about the same age as Ye Wen, around 30 years old, with a royal aura between his brows, walked in, and following him, there were also There are several high-ranking officials and ministers.
Liu Xi and the servants around him quickly knelt down to greet the emperor and ministers.
Ye Wen stood up and bowed slightly, as did Ye Yong and Qin Shimeng. They are members of a family that cultivates immortality. Strictly speaking, they do not belong to the people of the Zhou Dynasty, and they do not need to perform courtesies.
Every family has its own territory, including the sect. As the Great Zhou Dynasty existed above the kingdom, it is actually not correct to say that it ruled one-third of the Eastern Continent. The Eastern Continent was very vast, even if it was only one-third, there were thousands of countries, Sect, family. How could the Zhou Dynasty really manage so many places? The dynasty also survived the national period, but it has a long history and profound foundation. It stood out thousands of years ago and was promoted to a dynasty, allowing kingdoms, small and medium-sized families, and small and medium-sized sects to come to seek asylum. If there was any trouble that could not be solved, the dynasty faction It's just a matter of people solving it, which is equivalent to the boss protecting the younger brother.
There are powerful people like the Ye family who have no holes, but there are many powerful people who can transform into gods, and their overall strength is obviously better than that of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Great Zhou Dynasty was not qualified to protect the Ye family at all, and even the Qin family could barely catch up with it. Ye Yong and others made a small gesture, but no one dared to have an opinion.
"What brought you here today? Why don't you choose to come here in the early morning." Zhou Suren looked at Ye Wen. Although his expression was stern and his tone was cold, those ministers who were familiar with him knew that His Majesty was in a good mood.
"I caught a little thing and came to you to exchange for some money." Ye Wen pointed to the fifth elder who was casually thrown in the corner.
"oh?"
Zhou Suren didn't need to say anything. Soon, a minister in the stage of becoming a god captured the fifth elder and brought him in front of His Majesty.
There is an official who is responsible for identifying people. Almost the moment he saw his face, a white-haired veteran recognized the fifth elder: "It turns out to be the fifth elder of the Blood Flame Sect! Mei Renxing!"
Hearing this, the ministers present took a deep breath.
Although the Blood Flame Sect is not a first-rate demon sect, it is very close. They once did something frightening, which was to exterminate a large sect that had the early stage of divine transformation and refine all their disciples into blood pools.
The Demon Sect acts ruthlessly and destroys human nature. They do no good deeds and do all the bad deeds. This is not just a headache for Zhengdao. The trouble is that they hide in the dark and have no idea where their base is or when they will launch an attack.
When it comes to overall combat power, some sects from aristocratic families and kingdoms are not as good as the Demon Sect. The problem is that they are hiding and you are hiding, and you can run away immediately. In addition to feeling uncomfortable and helpless, all you can do is make a bounty list. The fifth elder of the Blood Flame Sect is obviously not low on the reward list.
