The sixth volume of the dance of demons 1412 Zhenxin Garden
Not long after, Liu Ming, accompanied by Qing Gu and others, walked out of the main hall and walked towards the flying boat in the square.
It's early morning now,
"Meet the Patriarch." Seeing Liu Ming's arrival, more than a dozen Qing family disciples quickly looked solemn and bowed to Liu Ming.
Liu Ming smiled slightly and waved to these disciples to excuse them.
Most of these dozen people are in the True Alchemy realm, and the one with the highest cultivation among them is a young man with a square appearance standing at the front. His cultivation has already reached the Great Perfection realm in the later stage of the True Alchemy.
"Are you Qingyu?" Liu Ming glanced at the young man casually and said lightly.
This Qingyu is the disciple that Qinggu and others have been most interested in in recent years. Liu Ming has also heard of this Qingyu's name occasionally. He had sensed that this disciple's aura was restrained, so he made this guess.
"My disciple is Qing Yu. I'm here to pay my respects to the master." Qing Yu didn't seem to expect that Liu Ming would know his name, and bowed again with a somewhat excited look on his face.
Liu Ming usually keeps a low profile and rarely walks around the clan. Although all Qing family disciples respect Liu Ming like a god, very few of them have met Liu Ming.
"No need to be formal, it's getting late, let's go." Liu Ming smiled slightly and flew onto the flying boat. Qingyu and others hurriedly followed.
"I wish the head of the family a smooth trip." Qinggu and others bowed and saluted.
Liu Ming smiled bitterly in his heart. He was going to the Central Imperial City on this trip. Good or bad luck was unpredictable, and even he didn't know what the outcome would be.
After a while, the flying boat glowed with cyan light and turned into a magnificent cyan rainbow, shooting towards the distance.
…
Liu Ming ignored the trivial matters along the way. Not long after leaving Moyun Valley, he directly handed over the control of the flying boat to Qingyu. Then he entered an exquisite cabin on the highest floor behind the flying boat and stayed closed all day.
Out.
The flying boat flew quietly along the way, and did not encounter any accidents. It only occasionally stopped at some cities along the way.
The closer we get to Yuzhou, the denser the flow of people in the cities along the way, and most of them are in groups. They seem to be traveling in a hurry. Most of these people are embroidered with the emblems of major families. It seems that nine out of ten people are also going to pay tribute.
of the Central Imperial City.
In recent years, although the Liu family has rebelled and occupied several states, generally speaking, the central dynasty still has the absolute upper hand. No matter what the aristocratic families in various places are like in private, they will not go to pay tribute for a mere tribute.
Offended the Central Dynasty.
Therefore, although this tribute is not as lively as in the past, it can still be regarded as a rare event in a hundred years.
More than half a month passed, and the Qing family's flying boat arrived at Yuzhou without incident.
After entering Yuzhou, there were naturally more tribute teams encountered on the road.
At this time, Liu Ming had no intention of continuing to practice hard behind closed doors, but spent most of the time standing on the bow of the ship, looking up.
Speaking of which, Yuzhou is worthy of being the headquarters of the Central Dynasty. It is the most prosperous state among the thirty-three states and counties of Ten Thousand Demons. It has so many cities that you can see a big city almost every few thousand miles.
"Clan leader, we should be here soon, right?" Qingyu stood respectfully behind Liu Ming and asked in a low voice.
Liu Ming looked northwest, nodded noncommittally, but said nothing.
Originally, Liu Ming had always been quite mysterious in the eyes of the lower-ranking disciples of the family, and Liu Ming had always been considered quite serious, so at first Qingyu was very uneasy when he was chosen to pay tribute with Liu Ming.
But along the way, Liu Ming did not restrain him at all, and from time to time gave him some pointers when he was confused about his cultivation.
With Liu Ming's current level of cultivation and vision, he could be given a few pointers and it would be of great use to him.
So although he was still in awe of Liu Ming, he also felt a little more envious.
Near the Qing family's flying boat, you can see some large flying magic weapons flying fast or slowly in the northwest direction. Naturally, they are tribute teams from all over the place.
Woo woo woo...
A low humming sound came from behind.
The faces of Liu Ming and Liu Ming changed. They turned around and looked back. They saw a blood-red giant flying boat speeding through the clouds in the distance among the blood clouds rolling behind them.
This airship is hundreds of feet long, with large blood-colored flags on it. There are rows of wing-like oars on both sides of the airship. With a seemingly light stroke, the blood clouds on both sides will violently roll, and the airship simultaneously
Flying hundreds of feet forward.
In just a dozen breaths, the blood-colored flying boat surpassed the Qing family's small flying boat and flew to the front.
"Master, look at the flag on the flying boat. Could it be..." Qingyu looked at the big flag of the bloody flying boat in front. The flag was embroidered with a bloody peacock-like pattern, and asked in a voice.
"Yes, that should be the worship team of the Kong Xiang family." Liu Ming nodded slightly and said calmly.
Qingyu took a deep breath. The four major wealthy families had extraordinary status. They were existences that local families like the Qing family needed to look up to.
"It's nothing to make a fuss about. You will be able to see the Demon Emperor in a few days." Liu Ming said nonchalantly.
"Yes." Qingyu's heart trembled when he heard this, and he hurriedly agreed respectfully.
Liu Ming looked at the giant boat of the Kong Xiang family that was gradually moving away, his eyes flickering a little, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After another seven or eight days, the Qing family finally arrived at the destination of their trip, which was in front of the Central Imperial City in the northwest of Yuzhou.
From a distance, the entire imperial city is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is majestic and covers an area of tens of thousands of miles. The tall city wall is like a giant dragon, winding into a hexagonal shape to protect the entire imperial city.
In this situation, even if Liu Ming walks all over the sky, swims through the Nine Netherworlds, and crosses the wild wilderness, his eyes can't help but flash a few strange colors, and his heart is shocked.
Qingyu and other Qing family disciples were even more stunned when they saw it.
The vast area of this central imperial city and the majestic architecture are more than ten thousand times that of the Qing family. Its magnificence and magnificence are not comparable to those of ordinary family cities.
On the north side of the imperial city, there is a blue mountain peak thousands of feet high, with undulating peaks and ridges, stretching for thousands of miles. On the east and west sides, there are two moats spanning more than ten thousand miles.
Only on the south side of the city, the city gate is wide open and stretches for more than a thousand miles. As far as the eye can see inside and outside the city gate, there are imperial guards standing guard every ten steps.
The entire Central Imperial City is surrounded by water on two sides and mountains on the other. Only the south side is accessible. Those who pay tribute to the Central Imperial City can naturally only enter from the south side.
In this way, the entire imperial city is easy to defend but not easy to attack, and the layout is excellent.
Liu Ming and his party were now hundreds of miles away in mid-air, so they could see the entire city in full view.
In addition to the outermost wall of the entire city, there are actually two ring-shaped walls within the city, dividing the entire central imperial city into three areas.
The outermost area is the widest and has the highest population density in the entire imperial city. You can vaguely see the numerous shops and pedestrians inside, creating a lively and prosperous scene.
The layout of the second-level area is quite different from the ordinary compact cities in the Ten Thousand Demons Continent. Although the area is much smaller than the outer city, the buildings built around the city are more than ten times larger than ordinary shops and residences.
The innermost level is surrounded by mansions. Each mansion is majestic and majestic, showing the extraordinary identity and status of the owner. Although it is not as magnificent as the innermost imperial city, it is not comparable to that of ordinary aristocratic families.
The innermost layer is naturally where the imperial city is located, which is the Demon Palace where the contemporary Demon Emperor Huangfu Yong lives.
The Demon Palace covers an area of more than a thousand miles. There are dozens of tower-shaped buildings that tower into the clouds and are interconnected, hiding mysteries. The surrounding black and purple aura makes these buildings looming, making them even more mysterious.
Quite mysterious.
The roots of these giant towers are all surrounded by a series of pavilions and attics, and there are no one knows how many towers there are next to each other.
"We're finally here." Liu Ming squinted his eyes slightly, looked at the majestic Central Imperial City in the distance for a moment, and murmured.
Suddenly, Zhao Qianying's stunning jade face that could be either angry or happy flashed through his mind, and Gujing Bubo's heart couldn't help but move slightly.
"Enter the city early and find a place to stay first." Liu Ming coughed again, bringing Qingyu and others who were still a little stunned back to reality, and said calmly.
Qingyu's face suddenly turned red and he smiled, naturally he would accept Liu Ming's suggestion.
So under the control of Liu Ming himself, the flying boat landed in an open space dozens of miles away from the imperial city.
Liu Ming and others flew to the ground, and the flying boat quickly shrank and flew into Liu Ming's sleeves.
After flying for a while, the group finally arrived in front of the South City Gate.
Although there is only one city gate here, there are many passages into the city, more than a dozen, and each one is inspected by some imperial guards wearing purple armor.
But even so, there was still a long queue at every entrance.
Judging from the costumes, the people queuing up here waiting to enter the city are almost all teams from aristocratic families from various places paying tribute to the Demon Emperor.
Although the team was long, the speed of entering the city was not slow. It didn't take much time before it was Liu Ming's turn.
"You are also here to participate in the tribute ceremony of His Majesty the Demon Emperor? Which family from which state are you from? Please tell us your name." A guard leader with a true elixir cultivation level looked at Liu Ming and his group indifferently, and faced Liu Ming's celestial phenomenon.
He didn't show any awe at all for his cultivation level, and asked sternly.
It’s no wonder that almost every aristocratic family that came to participate in the tribute ceremony, as long as their strength was not very weak, was led by the elders of the Celestial Realm. There were even some big families who were led by Tongxuan Patriarch himself. After watching for a long time, they naturally
Won't care anymore.
"We are from the Qing family in the Yanyun Mountains in Quanzhou." Liu Ming smiled slightly and said nothing, showing the Qing family's family token and the dynasty title deed of Moyun Valley.
"Oh, it turns out to be a noble family in Quanzhou, please come in. According to the arrangement of the Central Government, your residence is in the Zhenxin Garden in the Second City District. This is the pass there. Take this jade token and go to Zhenxin
In the garden, someone will arrange accommodation for you, as well as matters related to the tribute ceremony later." After the guard commander released his spiritual consciousness to check carefully, he nodded, then took out a purple jade tablet and handed it to Liu Ming, while speaking quickly
said.
The guard commander only took two or three breaths to finish this long paragraph, and he really pronounced the words like arrows. He must have said similar words countless times in the past few days.
