Jing Lingwei said angrily: "If I wasn't sure, how could I take you to that magical place?"
"Senior, do you now have the confidence to defeat one against six?"
Ye Chen asked.
"of course not!"
Jing Lingwei shook her head without thinking.
"Since there is no such thing, then senior you..."
Ye Chen became even more depressed, and now he suddenly felt like he had been deceived.
"If I wasn't sure, how could I dare to take you there?"
Jing Lingwei smiled mysteriously.
"Senior, do you have any clever ideas?"
Ye Chen asked.
Since Jing Lingwei thought she was no match for the six peak emperor-level warriors, she must have had to outwit them.
Otherwise, if you go there, what is it but giving someone a head?
"It's true that I can't fight one against six, but as long as I drag that boy Nangong Dou down and find a strong man of the same level who is comparable to Nangong Dou, I'm sure I can fight against that guy Liu!"
"And you..."
Jing Lingwei looked at Ye Chen and pointedly said: "Your opportunity will come then!"
"Senior, what you are saying is that you will lead away the six powerful men who occupy the Immortal Trail, and the junior will take advantage of it and sneak in?"
Ye Chen instantly guessed Jing Lingwei's design.
"almost!"
Jing Lingwei nodded, "Nangong Dou and I, and find another helper from the Zhou realm, even if we can't compete head-on, it should be more than enough to lure them away!"
"What's more, haven't you yourself reached the peak of the imperial level?
No matter how weak the combat power is, it will not..."
Only halfway through speaking, Jing Lingwei seemed to realize what she had said wrong, and her voice suddenly stopped.
Ye Chen was also shocked.
After staring at Jing Lingwei strangely for a long time, he asked cautiously: "Senior, how did you tell that this junior's cultivation has reached the peak of the imperial level?"
Because of his enlightenment system, his spiritual power fluctuations have always been hidden. Even warriors whose cultivation is far above his own cannot sense his spiritual power fluctuations.
Before that, except for his wife Xue Wuhen, he had not told anyone that he had reached the peak of the imperial level.
Since Nangong Dou didn't know that Jing Lingwei was meeting him for the first time, how did the other party know that he had reached the peak of the imperial level?
"Don't be so suspicious. I want to know how high your cultivation level is. Isn't it a very simple matter?"
Jing Lingwei's pupils under her cloak flickered violently, but soon returned to normal.
"How did senior know?"
Ye Chen asked.
"If I said that I had secretly peeked into your private life, would you think I was a little disrespectful?"
Jing Lingwei pointed out something.
"I see!"
Ye Chen was instantly relieved.
Any warrior at the peak of the emperor level can understand all movements within a thousand miles as long as he detects his spiritual thoughts.
Since Jing Lingwei was living in seclusion in Haoshan, she must have known about her arrival.
It is even possible that Jing Lingwei secretly spied on every detail of her life in Jiuyou Mountain, and even what she said to everyone.
And he did tell Xue Wuhen that his cultivation had reached the peak of the imperial level.
Therefore, it seems to make sense that Jing Lingwei knew her true cultivation level from her conversation with Xue Wuhen.
"Let's go, first go to the imperial capital to find that boy Nangong Dou!"
As if she didn't want to continue on this topic, Jing Lingwei hurriedly looked around and talked about other things.
"That's fine!"
Ye Chen didn't think much and continued flying towards the imperial capital with Jing Lingwei.
"Ye Chen, aren't you going to release your bird pet and ride it?"
After flying for a while and still seeing no movement from Ye Chen, Jing Lingwei reminded him.
"Uh...Senior, don't you have a bird pet?"
Ye Chen asked back.
In fact, he had long wanted to release the Golden-Armored Lightning Eagle for a ride. The reason why he had not taken action was because he just wanted to see if Jing Lingwei had a flying combat pet that was faster than the Golden-Armored Lightning Eagle.
"I do have a flying battle pet, but it's not as fast as your golden armored lightning eagle."
Jing Lingwei explained.
"That's it, then this junior will be embarrassed!"
Ye Chen didn't waste any more time and immediately reached out and touched the space bracelet.
"Ouch!"
There was a violent roar, and the light flashed from the space bracelet instantly shot into the sky and magnified rapidly.
But in an instant, the sky a hundred meters high above them transformed into a giant eagle.
With its wings spread out, it was thirty meters long, its entire body shimmering with golden light, and its whole body was covered with scales that looked like sharp blades.
"Chirp!"
With a loud bird song, the golden-armored lightning eagle retracted its huge wings, carrying a fierce wind, whizzing down from the side, and in an instant it turned below Ye Chen and the two of them.
"Senior please!"
Ye Chen cast a kind look at Jing Lingwei.
Jing Lingwei was not polite and landed directly on the broad back of the golden armored lightning eagle.
…
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
Yong'an Empire, deep inside the imperial palace, in a retro-style garden.
"I wonder if this kid Ye Chen is dead?"
Nangong Dou was worried and murmured to himself, "If he dies, I will feel guilty. After all, I took him there!"
But then, he shook his head again and said plausibly: "But even if he dies, he seems to have brought it on himself, and it has nothing to do with me, right?"
"After all, he was the one who came to me and asked me to take him to find other peak emperor-level warriors. If something goes wrong now, it can't be blamed on me, right?"
"Yes, it's not my fault. I've tried my best!"
"If you want to blame, blame that old witch Jing Lingwei for being too cruel!"
But then, he shook his head again, "Maybe Ye Chen is not dead yet?
Jing Lingwei forced me to leave Haoshan, maybe she just didn’t want to be disturbed by me!"
"Yes, that must be the case!"
"After all, Ye Chen is a native of Haoshan. No matter how unreasonable Jing Lingwei is, she won't prevent Ye Chen from returning to her hometown, right?"
"But since that kid is not dead, didn't he notice that I had disappeared without a trace?"
"If he finds out, he should come to the imperial capital to find me!"
"But it's only been almost two months, why is there still no news?"
He walked up and down the garden, muttering to himself like an old lunatic.
For more than a month, he has been so anxious that he has trouble sleeping and eating.
"Senior, what are you talking to yourself about?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from not far away.
"Ye Chen?"
Before he saw anyone, Nangong Dou exclaimed.
Sure enough, looking around, he saw Ye Chen, who had been to the Northern Territory and south to Haoshan Mountain with him before, unexpectedly stood at the entrance of the garden at some point, looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Haha, great, I knew you were a tough guy and wouldn't do it so easily..."
He stopped abruptly just halfway through his hearty words.
Because he suddenly discovered that there was another figure beside Ye Chen.
The man was wearing a black robe and a cloak.
There was darkness under the cloak, and it was impossible to see his true face.
However, the fluctuations of spiritual power that this person vaguely released were so powerful that they overwhelmed him like a mountain.
"Jing, Senior Jing?"
After a brief moment of shock, Nangong Dou's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Why are you here?"
"Nangong Dou, were you cursing me behind my back just now?"
A voice came out from under the dark cloak, hoarse and low, with a hint of coldness.
