"Trace, this time you go to the imperial capital, you must pay attention to safety on the way......"

At the gate of the General's Mansion, more than a dozen guards in armor and armed weapons waited next to a carriage.

Long Zhan stood on the steps of the mansion and explained what happened before Chu Zhen left.

A month has passed.

According to the previous agreement with Li Gu, it is almost time to go to the Emperor Feng Martial Mansion to report, although there is still some time before the deadline for the recruitment of new students in the major higher martial arts mansions in the imperial capital, it is still necessary to go over early to familiarize yourself with the environment of the academy.

"Uncle Zhan, I can go to the imperial capital by myself, you don't have to trouble so many people to escort you. Chu Zhen said.

Long Zhan shook his head and said, "Trace, to be honest, I'm more worried that Liu Hang's old guy will be unfavorable to you halfway. With more human escorts, I can also rest assured. Originally, I was planning to let your eldest brother and second sister come back and personally lead you to the Emperor Fengwu Mansion, but it just so happened that they wrote back and said that they have been busy recently......"

"Let the eldest brother and second sister come back, it will be even more unnecessary, I am so old, I don't need you to worry. ”

"Yes, in the blink of an eye, all three of my children have grown up. Long Zhan patted Chu Chen's shoulder gently, and there was a bit of emotion in his tone.

Not father and son, more father and son!

Chu Chen's lips pursed slightly, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a knowing smile.

"Uncle Zhan, I'll be back as soon as I have time. ”

"Hehe, good!"

Long Zhan breathed a deep sigh of relief and said in a deep voice, "It's not too early, you should set off immediately! Remember, if you encounter something that can't be solved in the imperial capital, go to your eldest brother and second sister." ”

"Well, Traces understands!"

"Go ahead!"

"Master of the family, don't worry, we will escort Young Master Zhen to the imperial capital safely. The guard at the head said resolutely.

"Uncle Zhan, take care!"

Chu Zhen, who was sitting in the carriage, leaned out of the window.

Long Zhan nodded and smiled, and between his usually sharp eyebrows, he was full of fatherly gentleness at this moment.

In the eyes of Long Zhan, the carriage gradually moved away, and the same mood as the two children in front of him when they left, Long Zhan's heart was a little faintly heavy.

But he understands that young birds that don't leave Nestle can't grow better.

In the sky, the eagle spreads its wings.

Ride the wind and waves, soar thousands of miles!

Dapeng rose with the wind one day and soared up to 90,000 miles.

Compared to the imperial capital, the place of Linyan City is too small. The wind and clouds will meet, the dragon and the tiger will compete for power, and when the time comes, whether Chu Zhen is a dragon or a worm, he will see.

......

At this moment, Chu Zhen, who was sitting in the carriage, was also emotionally complicated.

From childhood to adulthood, the bits and pieces of my growth in the General's Mansion came to my heart like a tide. Long Zhan has always been a strict elder, whether it is to Chu Zhen or his own two children.

In the past few days of parting, Long Zhan would often temporarily put down the things of the General's Mansion, communicate with Chu Zhen, or point out the shortcomings of the opponent's martial arts.

When it was time to part, Chu Zhen felt that his bonds with Long Zhan and the General's Mansion were so deep.

Soon, Chu Chen's faint sorrow was occupied by the sense of anticipation that gradually emerged.

The imperial capital of the Holy Star Dynasty, that is a place that everyone yearns for.

There lived the most prominent and powerful families of the dynasty......

Originally, the old general Longbo was given the imperial capital mansion by the royal family, but was rejected by the old general Longbo. The old general who returned from the front only hoped to live in his homeland in Linyan City, and was unwilling to participate in the imperial capital's government affairs.

Later, time passed, and the old general Longbo passed away, and this incident was slowly forgotten.

The imperial capital is vast and rich, and there are many nobles.

As the imperial city of the Holy Star Dynasty, the total population of the imperial capital exceeded 40 million. In addition to the local civilians, there are countless merchants who come and go from the north to the south every day to promote the development of the major industries in the imperial capital.

In the eyes of outsiders, the imperial capital of the Holy Star Dynasty is like a 'city that never sleeps'.

It is a place of prosperity, dignitaries, prosperity, and power......

More importantly, the many superior martial arts academies have made the imperial capital the cradle of young martial cultivators in the Holy Star Dynasty and a gathering place for countless amazing and insightful geniuses.

......

"Young Master Zhen, the imperial capital has arrived!"

After nearly half a month of tiring travel, Chu Zhen and his party arrived in the imperial capital smoothly.

On the way, there was no situation that Long Zhan had feared before, and the Liu family did not send people to intercept and kill them halfway, which more or less relaxed the heartstrings that had been tense among the guards of the General's Mansion.

"Here?"

Chu Zhen turned over and got out of the carriage, but what caught his eye was the crowd of people coming and going. There was a lot of noise, and most of them were young men and women about the same age as Chu Zhen.

"Young Master Zhen, this is a post station outside the imperial capital, and foreign chariots and horses cannot enter the city directly. That's the gate of the imperial capital......"

The guard at the head explained, pointing in one direction as he spoke.

Chu Zhen looked in the direction that the other party was pointing, and saw that hundreds of meters in front of him, a magnificent and tall city gate came into view.

The magnanimous momentum is incomparable to Linyan City, and directly above the city gate that is nearly fifty meters high, there are two powerful and majestic characters engraved on it.

Imperial Capital!

There are also several relatively small words in the lower right corner of the word 'Imperial Capital', 'East Gate City'.

"East Gate City?" Chu Chen's eyes condensed lightly, and he said, "Is there still West Gate City, South Gate City, and North Gate City?"

"Hehe, Young Master Zhen is right, the imperial capital city is huge, accommodating more than 40 million people, and its area is also the first in our Holy Star Dynasty. ”

Chu Zhen nodded, and continued to look forward, there were heavy soldiers guarding the city wall.

The guards in battle armor were as straight as the cold spears in their hands, showing their heroic and powerful momentum.

"Third Brother ......"

At that moment, a cry of surprise came in this direction.

Chu Chen's heart lit up, and in the next moment, a young man in Tsing Yi came to everyone's side from the crowd that came and went.

"Big brother!"

"Young Master Qingyang!"

Chu Zhen and the guards of the General's Mansion blurted out in unison.

The person who came was an extraordinary, handsome young man, and his gestures showed a sense of chic. This person is none other than Long Zhan's eldest son, Long Qingyang.

"Haha, the third brother is really you! I haven't seen you for half a year, and you've grown so tall......"

Long Qingyang held Chu Zhen's arm, his eyebrows were full of joy. Chu Zhen was also overjoyed, when he was young, Long Qingyang took special care of himself and always treated him as his own brother.

The last time the two brothers met was when Long Qingyang came home half a year ago.

"Big brother, why are you here?" Chu Zhen asked.

"It was my father who asked me to come here to pick you up in the letter, and Xuanshuang was originally going to come with her, but unfortunately she had something to do with the 'Haoyue Martial Mansion', so I came alone. ”

Long Xuanshuang, the daughter of Long Zhan.

Last year, Long Qingyang and Long Xuanshuang came to the imperial capital together to participate in the assessment of the High Martial Mansion.

Long Xuanshuang was admitted to the Haoyue Martial Mansion.

Long Qingyang entered the Giant Elephant Martial Mansion.

Haoyue Martial Mansion and Giant Elephant Martial Mansion are one of the five famous imperial capitals, and they are as famous as the Imperial Wind Martial Mansion. Of course, the reason why the two siblings did not enter the same academy was because of the relationship between their respective blood boundaries.

Long Qingyang's bloodline boundary is the 'Burning Flame Martial Body', but Long Xuanshuang's is the 'Cold Ice Martial Body'...... These two bloodline boundaries have appeared in the genealogical history of the Long family, and the two belong to the bloodline boundaries inherited from their ancestors.

......

As soon as Long Xuanshuang was mentioned, a beautiful girl who was as cold as frost appeared in Chu Zhen's mind.

In fact, the relationship between Chu Zhen and Long Xuanshuang is not as good as that with Long Qingyang, maybe in Long Xuanshuang's heart, there is still a little bit of Chu Chen, a 'family' who is not related by blood.

Long Xuanshuang didn't come today, most likely not because she didn't have time, but because she didn't want to come.

Long Qingyang seemed to see what Chu Zhen was thinking, and unconsciously patted the other party's shoulder lightly, and said, "Xuan Shuang is really busy this time, not long ago, the bloodline boundary completed the transformation. She has been upgraded from the 'Ice Martial Body' to the 'Ice Soul Battle Body', and the power of the bloodline has become more powerful and restless, and she must retreat for a month to recuperate. ”

"What? Second Sister's bloodline boundary has been upgraded to 'Battle Body'?"

Chu Zhen was both surprised and happy for the other party.

Receiving the heartfelt surprise in Chu Zhen's eyes, Long Qingyang also smiled and nodded, "Yes! Xuanshuang's talent is the highest in our family, and I believe that one day, with her talent, it is very possible to reproduce the ancestor's 'Xuanti' bloodline boundary." ”

Martial Body, Battle Body, Xuan Body, and the legendary Sacred Body......

The bloodline boundary determines the achievement point of the martial arts, and in the process of growth, with one's own ability and external factors, the bloodline boundary can be continuously strengthened and the transformation and upgrading can be completed.

Of course, if you want to transform and upgrade the bloodline boundary, it is extremely difficult.

Among the countless geniuses, only a small percentage of demons can upgrade their 'martial body' to 'battle body'. And those who can transform the 'battle body' into a 'metaphysical body' are all one-in-a-million, and they are rarely seen in a hundred years. And in addition to their own natural strength, it depends more on the help of external factors.

In the history of the Long family, only one ancestor has had the bloodline boundary of the 'Xuan Body'.

Since that glimpse, the power of the Long family's bloodline has continued to weaken. Now that a genius like Long Xuanshuang has appeared, it is natural that the family can see the hope of restoring the bloodline boundary of the 'Xuanshi'.

Once that day comes, then the Long family will definitely usher in a glory beyond the past.

The appearance of any Xuan Body will definitely be greatly valued by the Holy Star Dynasty.

......

"By the way, third brother, has your bloodline boundary awakened?, what kind of physique?" Long Qingyang suddenly asked.

"This?"

Chu Zhen was slightly stunned, he didn't know how to answer, it was definitely impossible to report according to the truth, but if he said that he hadn't awakened the bloodline boundary, how should he explain it in the future.

Just as Chu Zhen was thinking about answering, the leader of the guards of the General's Mansion on the side suddenly stepped forward and said, "Young Master Qingyang, since Young Master Chu Zhen has sent it to you, then it is time for us to return to Linyan City." ”

"Oh, is it so fast? It's rare for you to come to the imperial capital, and you can stay here for a few days. When the time comes, I will write back to my father and explain that he will not blame you. ”

Long Qingyang has always been gentle to others, even if he is a subordinate of the General's Mansion.

The leader of the guards was naturally flattered, but he still shook his head and declined, "No, Young Master Qingyang, now that the three of you are in the imperial capital, the head of the family takes care of the affairs of the family alone, and I and a few others should go back as soon as possible to help." ”

"Alright then! You stay safe all the way. ”

"Thank you for your concern, young master. ”

Subsequently, the team of the General's Mansion who escorted Chu Zhen to the city embarked on the road back to Linyan City.

"Third brother, now this emperor is the most lively time of the year, big brother, I'll take you for a good walk......" Long Qingyang's mood is still very good.

Chu Zhen smiled and said, "Big brother, you better take me to the Emperor Feng Martial Mansion to report first! ”

"Haha, you're still the same, you'll think about everything else after you've done everything. Okay, I'll take you to the Emperor Feng Wu Mansion......"

After that, Chu Zhen, under the leadership of Long Qingyang, headed in the direction of the imperial capital.

However, in the midst of the crowd of people coming and going, a gloomy and cold look looked at the two young figures who gradually disappeared into the crowd from afar.

The imperial capital of the imperial city, the dark tide is surging!
