Before Huangpu Xin could come up with a reason, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the protective shield where the guard was stationed.
"It's truly a prosperous port city, even the armor of the city gate guards is black and gold."
"Hey, that's our money..."
"Shh, be quiet! Don't risk your life!"
Huangpu Xin glanced at the side where the sound was coming from and found a combination of a merchant and a Confucian scholar murmuring quietly at another entrance a little distance away.
Not only those two, but almost all the ordinary people who came for the first time around them made similar exclamations.
However, from Huangpu Xin's point of view, it seems somewhat strange. Those guards with some kind of energy inside their bodies should be practitioners, but no one seems to care about the discussions and debates in the crowd, as if they couldn't hear the discussions at all.
Upon closer inspection, Huangpu Xin also noticed that the armor and weapons of the guards in Zhangyu City are indeed different from the bronze armor of Kunyu City.
The armor was not only pitch black, but it also contained a unique energy that Huangpu Xin could sense. Before they could carefully sense it, Huangpu Xin and the others had already passed through the city gate.
"Senior, I noticed that the entry fee for merchants just now was very high. Why do we only have two copper coins?" Huangpu Xin expressed his inner doubts upon entering the city.
Zhou Dian explained, "Merchants from the Central Plains are at the bottom of the social hierarchy and are oppressed. On the other hand, scholars like me, a Confucian scholar, only need to show our credentials and we are charged only a symbolic fee."
" Huangpu Xin " looked at the "document" in his hand and noticed that it was different from the identity card given by "Wang Tingyu." It was a small booklet with "Nanli Sect Certificate" on the cover, containing some personal information. It didn't look like a paper booklet, but rather thin and light like plastic.
"Is the 'Nanli Sect' referring to the royal court of 'Nanli'? The material of this booklet is also very unique. I have never seen anything like it before," said Huangpu Xin.
Zhou Dian shook his head and said, "It's normal not to know much about what's going on here when you come from such a desolate place like Xeroderma desert."
"Ah? What kind of place is Xeroderma desert?" Huangpu Xin was a little confused.
"Xeroderma desert is the Dragon Scale Desert," when mentioning the four words "Dragon Scale Desert," Zhou Dian rarely showed a hint of disdain in his eyes: "This desert is the result of a certain unspeakable existence's lingering power. I believe your clan also has relevant records."
Huangpu Xin thought to himself, "I don't have any records!" But he couldn't ask directly, so he could only silently note that the Dragon Scale Desert was not formed naturally, and its formation is related to an unknown existence.
Zhou Dian continued to explain as they walked, " Nanli is the Nanli Sect, but the Nanli Sect is not Nanli. Simply put, Nanli is the country, while the Nanli Sect is the immortal sect that surpasses it."
"Oh, puppets, I get it now. So the evidence for this is also created by the immortal sect, right?" Huangpu Xin expressed that they totally understood.
Zhou Dian slightly stiffened when he heard the word "puppet," but Huangpu Xin still caught it.
Hmm, it seems that Zhou Dian is indeed a descendant of the inspirational dynasty... Huangpu Xin nodded to himself.
"…The evidence has nothing to do with Nanli Sect, it is said to be a new type of material developed by Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance," said Zhou Dian, and then fell silent.
Huangpu Xin could tell that this person was not good with words, and since he had already learned what he needed to know, he didn't engage in further small talk.
Zhangyu City is very large, but the Lord's Mansion is located in the center of the city. The two of them, bound by etiquette, can only walk, and Zhou Dian also did not use his physical abilities to increase his speed in order to fit his character. It took about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before they arrived at the entrance of the Lord's Mansion.
At this moment, Huangpu Xin finally noticed that it seems the Lord's Mansions in Nanli are all standardized. At least from the outside, they are no different from the Lord's Mansion in Kunyu City.
At this moment, the grand red mansion's entrance was adorned with lanterns and decorations, with people coming and going, seemingly preparing for some kind of celebration.
A man, relatively short and thin, came forward to greet Mr. Zhou at the entrance. This man wore round-framed glasses, had a goatee, and immediately complimented Mr. Zhou, saying, "Mr. Zhou, please come in quickly. Miss Zhong is already waiting for you in the young lady's study."
Zhou Dian nodded arrogantly and said, "Please lead the way, Mr. Tseng."
"Alright, this is..." Mr. Tseng glanced at Huangpu Xin.
"I have just received a new sword attendant." Zhou Dian said only this and did not say much before walking inside.
Huangpu Xin timely asked, "Sir, whose wedding is this?"
Mr. Tseng Although his expression was strange, he thought to himself, "What does a Confucian scholar need with a sword attendant?" But he didn't dare to be negligent, so he had to lead the two of them from the side door to the young lady's study.
Zhou Dian replied, "This is the marriage of the city lord's precious daughter, who is to be wed to a senior disciple of the Divine Court."
"Teacher, is Divine Court really powerful?" Huangpu Xin couldn't help asking.
Zhou Dian replied with an inexplicable tone, "In some aspects, it is indeed powerful."
Huangpu Xin asked again, "Are they more powerful than the several sects in the Three Immortal Mountains?"
"That's not the case. The young child should be from a foreign land and doesn't know the status of Divine Court in our Nanli," interjected Mr. Tseng who was leading the way. "The main hall of Divine Court is located in the far north, with many branch halls situated in various mortal kingdoms' blessed lands. But do you know why they can possess so many blessed lands?"
Huangpu Xin A curious baby looks like this: "Why, why?"
"Ahem!"
"Master!" Mr. Tseng immediately bowed and waited on the side.
A person who cleared his throat walked towards them. He was an elderly man wearing a black brocade robe and a headdress with a mythical creature. This man had a robust figure and a radiant complexion. Huangpu Xin thought it was Dong Zhuo who had arrived.
Zhou Dian then made a gesture of respect and said, "I have met Lord Zhongcheng."
"Hehehehe, hahaha, good, my daughter's wedding, if you haven't prepared any gifts, I will be very angry!" The sudden outburst caught Huangpu Xin off guard.
Zhou Dian still has that stern Confucian scholar look, with a stiff and somewhat awkward appearance. It's hard to tell if it's intentional or genuinely awkward.
"Hahaha, okay okay, I won't tease you anymore. It's good that you're here, it's good that you're here. Suyan and Ji Ying should be together now. Come, I'll accompany you there," the old man suddenly laughed again, putting his arm around Zhou Dian and leading him inside.
Huangpu Xin For no reason, I plan to ask what's going on later.
...
Here, Cao Mang remained calm and composed, taking out a mirror and wiping it with his hand. The mirror instantly displayed the scene outside the mine. A group of figures in black surrounded the entrance to the cave, seemingly preparing to ambush someone.
"Hmph, Zhao Zhi really did leave people here after all. How can a non-royal member still have so many people at hand at a time like this? Or is there some change that I don't know about..." At first glance, Cao Mang seemed rough, but he was actually thinking a lot.
Then he put away the bronze mirror, took out two talismans and stuck them on his and Wang Tingyu's chests, saying, "Close your eyes, don't move around, and don't open your eyes until the transmission is over. Otherwise, don't blame me if something unexpected happens. It's a pity for my silver void stone..."
Wang Tingyu looked at Cao Mang with suspicion as he spread out a formation map and placed a kind of silver-white gravel on the formation, calling out, "Close your eyes!"
Cao Mang circulated his true energy, pinched the formation tactics, and chanted the words. The formation map burned fiercely, and the silver gravel turned into liquid and poured into the formation. The depicted magic formation rose into the air, passing over the bodies of the two people from bottom to top. Their bodies emitted a silver brilliance and disappeared together with the magic formation.
When the black-clothed men outside the mine became alert and rushed into the cave, they only saw the stone archway's door frame still in place, while Cao Mang and the others had long since vanished without a trace.
