Chapter 98 Arrival at the Murong Family
"This gentleman has a good eye!"
Wei Yongkang praised Lu Bing.
"That's right, this valley looks ordinary from the outside, without any highlights!"
"But there's more to it than meets the eye. The reason for this is that a grand formation has been set up here!"
"This grand formation was personally set up by the patriarch of the Murong family. Not only is its concealment excellent, but it also possesses considerable defensive capabilities. Even a Void Refinement expert would find it difficult to break through in a short time..."
"Without the Murong family's token, it's very difficult for outsiders to enter..."
Wei Yongkang stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"I see!"
Ying Chen cooperated with him, revealing a look of sudden realization.
"Alright, Emperor Ying, let's go in! There are only five days left until the Genius Tournament. You all need to prepare well these next few days. The Genius Tournament gathers all the geniuses under the age of one hundred in the Xuanxing Domain. Some of these geniuses can even fight across ranks, so they should not be underestimated..."
Wei Yongkang took out something that looked like a token and threw it forward.
A massive spatial portal appeared before them.
One after another, Qin's flying ships flew in.
Ying Chen felt the scenery in front of him constantly changing. When he could see his surroundings clearly again, they had arrived in an unfamiliar place.
The area is filled with tall trees, making it feel like you're in an ancient forest.
Moreover, the concentration of spiritual energy is dozens of times higher than that of the outside world, though it is still not as high as that of the Great Qin Imperial Capital.
Moreover, this space is extremely large. Although it looks like a small valley from the outside, once you enter, you'll find that it has absolutely nothing to do with a small valley.
This place is completely independent, like a small world.
"Your Majesty, don't be fooled by the fact that the spiritual energy in the Murong Secret Realm isn't as abundant as in the capital of the Great Qin Dynasty. It's definitely one of the top cultivation paradises in the Xuanxing Domain..."
Wei Yongkang explained to Ying Chen.
Ying Chen nodded, agreeing with his words.
Indeed, the spiritual energy here is enough to make it a blessed place for cultivation.
Just then, they encountered a figure that suddenly appeared ahead.
There were more than ten leopard-like monsters, their bodies crackling with purple lightning. On the back of each of these monsters sat a knight clad in purple armor and wielding a long spear.
"That's the Thunder Leopard Knight from the Murong family!"
"The selection process for Thunder Leopard Knights is rigorous, with restrictions not only on cultivation level but also on age. A Thunder Leopard Knight's cultivation level must not be lower than the Nascent Soul stage, and their age cannot exceed two hundred years..."
"It's fair to say that anyone selected to become a Thunder Leopard Knight can be considered a genius..."
"To date, the total number of Thunder Leopard Knights is only a mere three thousand..."
"And the Thunder Leopards they ride are even rarer exotic beasts, extremely difficult to raise. They reach the Golden Core stage upon adulthood, with the best among them even reaching the Nascent Soul stage..."
Wei Yongkang proudly introduced the situation to Ying Chen and the others.
It's as if those Thunder Leopard Knights belonged to the Huangfu Dynasty.
He didn't notice that the people of Qin were looking at him as if he were a fool.
My Great Qin has hundreds of thousands of such elite troops. Not to mention anything else, the 20,000 elite Imperial Guards who came with Ying Chen alone could completely crush the entire Murong family's Thunder Leopard Knights.
However, they didn't say that; it's better to keep it a secret.
"Are the visitors from the Great Qin Dynasty?"
Just as Wei Yongkang was speaking, the Thunder Leopard Knights had already arrived.
The leader spoke first.
Upon hearing his words, Ying Chen stepped forward and said, "I am the Emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty..."
"Deputy Commander Murong Yunhai of the Thunder Leopard Knights greets the Emperor of Great Qin!"
Upon hearing Ying Chen's words, Murong Yunhai clasped his hands in greeting.
"The young clan leader has arranged a place for you to rest. Please follow me."
After saying that, he turned around and led the Thunder Leopard Knights inside.
The Qin Dynasty's flying boats followed slowly behind.
"Does the Emperor Ying know the young patriarch of the Murong family?"
Wei Yongkang said in surprise.
Ying Chen nodded noncommittally and said, "We've met once! You could call us friends!"
"Your Majesty, you certainly have considerable influence! Having only met once, you've already sent the Young Clan Chief Murong to dispatch Thunder Leopard Knights to pick you up. This shows how highly he regards you..."
Wei Yongkang looked on with envy.
Rumor has it that Murong Haoxuan, the young patriarch of the Murong family, has an eccentric personality and is difficult for ordinary people to approach. It is truly puzzling that the Emperor of Qin could befriend such a person.
Ying Chen smiled but didn't say anything when he heard his words.
Seeing this, Wei Yongkang said nothing more.
As the group continued to move forward, some simple buildings began to appear ahead.
There were no carved beams and painted rafters, nor any palaces.
It was just an ordinary thatched hut.
"Your Majesty, this is the outer perimeter of the Murong family. Don't be fooled by the simplicity of these houses; those who live here are all powerful members of the Murong family..."
"Because this is the outer perimeter of the Murong family, the Murong family's strongest members are stationed here to protect the ordinary clansmen behind them. It serves as the Murong family's second line of defense, besides the outer great formation..."
Wei Yongkang pointed to the thatched hut below and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Chen felt a divine sense sweep over him, and he understood what was going on.
This is a powerful member of the Murong family conducting reconnaissance.
A moment later, the fluctuations in their spiritual sense disappeared, and they officially entered the territory of the Murong family.
Buildings began to appear in clusters.
Compared to the surrounding area, the buildings that have appeared now are much more magnificent.
Palaces and similar buildings are also quite common.
Murong Yunhai led Ying Chen and the others forward until they arrived at a mountain peak, where a cluster of palaces stood atop the peak.
"Your Majesty, this is the residence arranged for you by the young clan leader!"
"You and your servants may stay here!"
"The Genius Tournament will begin in five days. Someone will come to inform you then..."
Murong Yunhai and the others stopped and spoke to Ying Chen.
Ying Chen nodded and said, "Thank you for your help, Commander Murong!"
Murong Yunhai waved his hand and said, "I was just following orders!"
"In that case, we won't disturb your rest any longer. Farewell!"
After saying that, Murong Yunhai led the Thunder Leopard Knights and flew away into the distance.
After they had flown some distance, one of the Thunder Leopard Knights couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Vice Commander, Ying Chen is just the emperor of a dynasty. Is it necessary for you to personally go and greet him?"
"What do you know? The young clan leader attaches great importance to that Great Qin Emperor, which shows his special status. Don't let me hear such remarks again, or you will be severely punished!"
Murong Yunhai glanced at him sideways and said in a cold voice.
"Here!"
The Thunder Leopard Knight, having been reprimanded by Murong Yunhai, dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction and respectfully replied with his head bowed.
