The Tianwu Empire's imperial capital was bustling with traffic. When Ye Yang appeared on the teleportation array in the imperial capital, he almost thought he had gone to the wrong place.
Today's imperial capital is nearly ten times larger than before, with streets and lanes lined with bars, restaurants, and pedestrians.
What surprised Ye Yang the most was that most of them were warriors coming and going, and their cultivation levels were not weak, and they were basically above the kings.
Moreover, they were all extremely young, usually around twenty years old. Looking at their clothes, Ye Yang actually didn't recognize them.
"Hey, this white-headed brother, is this your first time in the imperial capital? Pay the city entry tax quickly and stay out of the way."
A general-level guard held a nameplate in his hand and was sweating profusely from exhaustion. When he saw Ye Yang standing there blankly, he yelled angrily.
"Collect taxes?" Ye Yang was stunned. The Tianwu Empire actually started to collect taxes, which made Ye Yang feel very fresh.
"I noticed that your boy is so well-dressed. Why did you just say such nonsense and pay the city tax of five thousand gold coins? Don't let people laugh at you." The guard saw that Ye Yang was dressed luxuriously and had an extraordinary bearing. Although he was a little impatient, he still kept his temper.
road.
Ye Yang was speechless for a while. When he came to Yuzhou from Tianwu, he was regarded as a local leopard by others. Now that he came back from Yuzhou, it was considered a return to his hometown in glory, but he was still regarded as a local leopard by others.
Some dumbfounded, he threw a crystal coin to the guard. The guard was shocked when he saw that Ye Yang was using a crystal coin.
One crystal coin is equivalent to one hundred thousand gold coins. Although the Tianwu Empire is not what it used to be, the people who can use the crystal coins are all prominent figures.
"No need to ask for money. I'll treat the remaining brothers to tea." Seeing that the guard was respectfully asking for money, Ye Yang waved his hand and said calmly.
When the guard who was looking for money heard Ye Yang's words, he shook his hand nervously and made a "hula" sound, and all the gold coins in his hand fell to the ground. Several other guards hurried over to help pick them up.
The guard swallowed hard and said in disbelief, "Are you...saying...really?"
"Yes, but I would like to trouble you to tell me why the Tianwu Empire has changed so much in the past two years. I remember it was not like this before" Ye Yang asked.
"Haha, you have been to our Tianwu before, hehe, this time you have asked the right person. Please sit down, drink some tea, and I will tell you slowly."
The guard was obviously the leader of the crowd, so he asked the others to continue guarding. He invited Ye Yang to a nearby place where they usually rested, poured Ye Yang a cup of tea respectfully, and began to speak everything he knew.
He talked about it all.
It turned out that after Ye Yang left, Tianwu Emperor Wu Zhengyang worked hard to govern and used all his methods. In just two years, he completely ruled the original Wuda Empire and raised the national power to an unprecedented state.
Today, the Tianwu Empire is already the country with the largest territory and the strongest combat power among the nearby countries.
Because of its strong combat power and good relations with the Ming Chong Empire, Longshi Empire, Guiyundong and Yuhua Palace, it became very popular.
To say that Wu Zhengyang did have great talent, after Ye Yang left, he fully understood the importance of force, vigorously cultivated martial geniuses, and held the Tianwu Competition.
The Tianwu Competition is held every year, with elite disciples from six surrounding empires participating, and extremely generous rewards are set up.
Since taking over the Wuda Empire, more than a dozen rare mineral deposits have been opened up in the Wuda Empire. The current Tianwu Empire is extremely wealthy, and is a hundred times stronger than before in terms of smelting and elixirs.
Now is the second competition of the Tianwu Competition. This time it is more lively than the last one, because this time the Tianwu Empire provided a Breaking Sect Pill as a competition reward, which made countless geniuses go crazy for it, so all of a sudden the masters of the imperial capital
Like clouds.
Although Po Zong Dan is difficult to find in Yuzhou, it is not a treasure, but for the Tianwu Empire on the border of Yuzhou, it is a divine product.
Ye Yang secretly nodded in his heart, careerists are all shrewd people. Through two competitions, Tianwu showed unprecedented strength, attracting countless geniuses to defect to it, making the Tianwu Empire stronger and stronger.
Other countries also saw Wu Zhengyang's purpose, but the Tianwu Empire was now too powerful and they were no longer able to compete, so they simply gave up the competition.
After listening to the guard's talk, Ye Yang left another crystal coin and floated away.
The guard put away the crystal coins ecstatically, suddenly frowned, and said to himself, "Why does this person look familiar? But I have never seen him before."
…
Ye Yang's personality has changed a lot since Chu Yanran left. Jiu Xuan secretly reminded Ye Yang not to let this incident affect his original intention, otherwise it will delay his practice.
So Ye Yang also tried to relax himself, shuttle among the crowds, and feel the hustle and bustle of the world.
Ye Yang's white hair is very eye-catching. Some girls saw that Ye Yang was handsome and bold, and greeted Ye Yang with a smile.
Ye Yang also wanted to smile with others, but he couldn't smile and could only nod slightly.
"Baotou man, get away from me, young master, or I'll beat you up."
A young man in colorful clothes was strolling around. He was originally conceited, but he was attracting the attention of the opposite sex.
As a result, when Ye Yang appeared, it was like the rising sun, completely covering up his little brilliance, and he couldn't help but be furious.
Now that Ye Yang has suppressed his cultivation to the late stage of a king, that young man in gorgeous clothes is already an emperor and does not take Ye Yang seriously at all.
Ye Yang smiled slightly. This guy with his nostrils pointing upward reminded him of the grandfather he played.
Ignoring the young man's provocation, he turned slightly to avoid the young man and continued walking forward.
When the boy saw that his bastard spirit was coming out and the white-headed guy surrendered, he couldn't help feeling proud. However, when he saw the disgusted looks on the faces of the girls around him, he suddenly withered like an eggplant beaten by frost.
Walking slowly along Central Street, which had been renovated to be wider now, he remembered that it was at this location that he and Wu Youlan met the inscriptionist Li Cang.
But at this time, both Wu Youlan and Li Cang were already piles of loess, which made people sigh.
Just as I was sighing, there was a commotion in front of me. Countless people were surrounding a place and making loud noises.
"Get out of your way and give me ten tickets."
"Why should I get out of your way? I want twenty tickets."
"If anyone who is paralyzed tries to squeeze me again, I will chop him to death with a knife. If you buy a ticket, you will buy a ticket. Why are you touching my butt?"
"..."
After working on it for a long time, it turned out that it was the opening of the Tianwu Competition, and everyone was vying to watch it. This was a rare event, and no one wanted to see it.
However, these tickets are very valuable. Even the cheapest peripheral seats cost 50,000 gold coins. This is a huge sum of money that can provide a commoner with enough food and clothing for a lifetime.
Ye Yang also bought a peripheral general ticket. He didn't want to be recognized. Although his appearance had changed a little in two years and his hair turned white, people would still recognize him, so he bought it.
If you buy a peripheral ticket, it is relatively difficult to be discovered.
After buying the ticket, Ye Yang found the venue of the competition - Tianwu Square based on the map on the back of the ticket.
This is a newly built square, covering an area of hundreds of miles, with a hundred-foot-tall bronze statue erected in the center of the square.
It was a young man holding a spear, with fluttering black robes and long hair. The spear in his hand was tilted towards the sky, and his momentum burst out, trying to pierce the sky.
When Ye Yang saw the statue, a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth. The statue was exactly the same person he was two years ago.
The statue is very vivid in its depiction, and it vividly reflects the aura he had as a young man who hated the world and the earth.
In front of the statue is a arena with a radius of thousands of feet, with countless formations carved on it, and it is extremely strong.
When Ye Yang entered the scene quietly, the battle on the stage had already begun. The two teenagers were fighting vigorously with fists and kicks.
Both of them were emperors and had similar skills. They were in a stalemate for a while. When Ye Yang got to his seat, one of them narrowly defeated the other with his tenacious perseverance.
After Ye Yang sat down, he glanced at the referee's bench and immediately spotted several familiar figures. Tianwu Emperor Wu Zhengyang was sitting in the middle, looking graceful and graceful.
Now he has actually broken through to the peak of the emperor. This is only possible because of the jade dragon saliva given by Ye Yang.
Next to him were Long Xiaoyun from the Dragon Stone Empire, Jin Yunshan from the Ming Chong Empire, and Fang Chu Pavilion from Guiyun Cave.
These three people have all advanced greatly in cultivation, and Fang Chu Pavilion has reached the half-step sect master level, sitting there quite majestic.
In addition to the three people, Ye Yang saw the second elder of the Ye clan who had broken through the emperor, King Pingnan and the major city lords.
What makes Ye Yang different is that all the major city lords have actually broken through to the emperor. It seems that the Tianwu Empire has undergone earth-shaking changes in the two years since he left.
On the referee's bench, a petite and exquisite woman, with true energy flowing all over her body and a powerful aura, actually broke through to the realm of the sect leader.
Ye Yang smiled slightly. The delicate and willful Lan Caidi had become the overlord of the party. Judging from her posture, it seemed that she was doing well.
Ye Yang said to a man next to him, "I want to ask, is that Lan Caidie married?"
The man glanced at Ye Yang and saw that he only had the cultivation of a king. He immediately said with disdain, "I advise you not to have any ideas about him, because anyone who has had any ideas about her has basically been defeated by her."
Ye Yang was surprised and said, "That's not true."
"No? Hey, Sect Leader Lan is the number one master in our Tianwu Empire, and not everyone is qualified to pursue him.
I heard that she made a vow that in the future her husband must be a hero as upright as Tianwuhou. Huh? Not to mention that your boy looks a bit like Tianwuhou, but I advise you to be less worried. You are just a little boy.
Your body will probably be knocked to pieces by the sect leader in no time,” the man said kindly.
While he was talking, elites from all walks of life were boarded on the stage one after another, and the battle became more and more exciting, with thunderous applause erupting from time to time in the audience.
The last one who has reached the peak of the emperor's cultivation has defeated all heroes in a row, and his combat power is extremely powerful.
Suddenly a voice sounded like an oriole out of the valley, "Pingnan City Wu Youluo comes to learn from you!" (To be continued)
