The Imperial City was still some distance away from the northern border, so Ning Yu stopped occasionally to rest and walked for more than two days before arriving because she didn't rush there.
After all, the border was still not as good as the capital. Once arriving at the mountain city, Ning Yu felt that this place was really desolate.
It doesn't even have one-tenth of the prosperity of the capital city.
But Ning Yu didn't come here to have fun.
After landing, he asked passers-by and learned where the city lord was.
Although the Yuluan Sect is ranked in the top 100, it still has to be controlled by the local city lord. It is much more convenient to go to the city lord first and then apply pressure later.
Arriving in front of the city lord's mansion, Ning Yu frowned slightly. The place couldn't help but be desolate and dilapidated.
He even felt that the Yuluan Sect could still be ranked in the top 100 before, and most of them relied on the prosperity of hundreds of thousands of years ago.
The city lord was also very polite when he met Ning Yu. Although he was a city lord, in terms of official rank, Ning Yu was four or five ranks higher than him.
When Ning Yu saw the city lord, he didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "Is there a sect like the Yuluan Sect in your city?"
The city lord was stunned and thought, why would someone from the imperial city come to Yuluan Sect to do this?
However, he did not dare to ask. He nodded and bowed and said, "Yes, sir, the first sect in our city is the Yuluan Sect."
"May I ask, sir..." The city lord glanced at Ning Yu carefully and said, "May I ask, sir, what's the matter with searching for the Yuluan Sect?"
"It's just a little thing."
Ning Yu looked at the city lord, raised his hands to the sky in a salute gesture, and said: "I was ordered to come here to find the holy object, but this holy object was taken away by a member of the Yuluan Sect."
The city lord, who didn't understand etiquette, saw Ning Yu's gesture and naturally knew what it meant.
But he himself understood that Ning Yu came here on the order of the emperor, and he instantly felt panic in his heart.
Over the years, the monarch has been very kind to their northern border. Not only has the tax been halved, but he has also sent supplies to the northern border from time to time. Although the northern border is the most prone to trouble, because the monarch treats the northern border very well, the people here
The sect is also extremely loyal to the Winter Dynasty.
But this gentleman said that someone from the Yuluan Sect took away the sacred object that the monarch wanted...
As the local lord, the city lord must help Ning Yu get it back.
He cupped his hands and said, "Oh my lord, I'm really scared. The Yuluan Sect is the largest sect in our northern city, and we usually keep to ourselves. Unexpectedly, someone actually took away the sacred objects needed by the monarch, and asked the monarch to do so."
Forgive me."
After hearing the words of the city lord, Ning Yu was a little stunned, but then she felt happy. This man regarded himself as the king's subordinate... which was more in line with his wishes.
With a faint smile on her lips, Ning Yu said: "Fortunately, there is still a chance to make amends. Let the Yuluan Sect hand over the sacred objects, otherwise..."
He didn't say anything else, he just raised his eyebrows.
This raised eyebrow frightened the city lord so much that he immediately knelt down in front of Ning Yu.
"The little old man is scared, the northern border is scared, my lord!
The little old man will definitely ask the Yuluan Sect to return the sacred objects to the monarch, please don't worry!
"
"That would be best."
"Sir, I will go to the Yuluan Sect and call the head of the Yuluan Sect over now!
"The city lord said, standing up and walking outside.
Ning Yu stretched out her hand to stop him and said calmly: "There is no need to call him over. I still don't know who took the sacred object away."
"You lead the way, and I'll go with you to go to Yuluan Sect together."
Hearing this, the city lord kowtowed: "Then I'll excuse you, sir..."
After speaking, the city lord stood up from the ground, made a gesture of invitation with his hands, and said to Ning Yu: "The Yuluan Sect is in a relatively remote mountain range in the city. Please follow the villain to go there with the sword."
Nodding, Ning Yu took the first step and walked out.
On the way to Yuluan Sect with Yujian Fei, Ning Yu lowered his head and looked down for a few times, thinking that based on this area, the northern border would be really big.
But it's just too desolate and defeated.
After about a stick of incense, the city lord pointed to a place ahead and said to Ning Yu: "Look, sir, that's where the Yuluan Sect is."
Ning Yu looked in the direction he pointed, and through the thin clouds, she saw mountains and rivers connected to form mountains not far away.
This is probably the most glorious place Ning Yu has seen since arriving here.
There are palaces one after another above the mountains and rivers, and you can vaguely see disciples practicing with swords in some open spaces.
Ning Yu thought to herself that it was indeed the largest sect hundreds of thousands of years ago. This posture was much better than what she had seen outside before.
Using his skills, Ning Yu sped up and flew towards the Yuluan Sect.
Before they even arrived, they saw the light blue barrier set up above Yuluan Sect.
Ning Yu twitched the corner of her mouth, thinking of giving them a blow first and breaking down their barrier.
With this thought in her mind, Ning Yu immediately started doing it.
The skill in his hand became even stronger, and he immediately flew towards the barrier at lightning speed.
