Chapter 229: Entering the Imperial City


Time passes day by day, and six months fly by in a blink of an eye.

This day is already the first day of the twelfth lunar month at the end of the year, and the cold winter has begun to envelope the earth.

The Imperial City is still lying prone on the bank of the Gilded River like a giant black beast.

The guards inside and outside the city are all wearing uniform black armor and are on duty everywhere.

That evening, a burst of rapid hoofbeats came quickly from a distance.

Along with the flying dust, the hoofbeats reached the city wall in an instant.

The guards at the edge of the city were shocked when they saw a gray-blue lightning approaching, and they showed vigilant eyes.

"Concern, worry, worry" A loud horse neighed, and gray-blue lightning suddenly stopped outside the city gate.

After the dust fell, the guards saw clearly that what was parked in front of the city gate was a huge thunder horse.

On the back of the Lei Lin horse, a young man in his twenties, wearing a gray tight-fitting suit, was sitting on it.

He was looking up at the majestic Imperial City with a look of expectation in his eyes.

The person on the horse was Ye Li.

Six months had passed.

After some training and preparation, he returned to the Imperial City again, preparing to participate in the second city trial starting on the second day of the twelfth lunar month.

After looking up at the majestic Imperial City for a while, Ye Li turned over, jumped off the Lei Lin horse, and walked to the guard at the city gate.

After taking out a token from his arms and handing it to the guard, Ye Li said: "Ye Li from the Forging Hall is here to participate in the second trial of entering the city."

The guard took the token and checked it repeatedly.

When he heard Ye Li reported his name and origin, he nodded and said to Ye Li: "Master, please wait a moment.

I will call someone out to receive you right away." ” After the guard finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the city.

After a while, he led a middle-aged man out.

After seeing Ye Li, the middle-aged man hurriedly saluted him and said, "Master Ye, I have kept you waiting for a long time.

Please follow me into the city.

I will take you to see Elder Qi."

Hearing what the other party said, Ye Li quickly responded politely, then led his thunder horse and walked towards the city.

As soon as he entered the city gate, there were guards coming to greet him, wanting to help Ye Li place his thunder horse.

The middle-aged man who had led the way before turned around and explained to Ye Li: "Master Ye, outsiders' horses are not allowed to enter our imperial city, so the guards will place your horses in a special shed near the city.

Please rest assured that we will have dedicated personnel to take care of it for you and will not neglect your BMW. " After hearing the other party's explanation, Ye Li nodded quickly and handed the reins to the guard next to him.

After the guards took away the thunder lin horse, Ye Li continued to follow the middle-aged man towards the city.

After passing through the long city gate, Ye Li finally entered the Imperial City, but it was not as prosperous as he imagined.

The buildings in the entire city seem to be relatively scattered, not as dense as the City of Paradise, and everywhere is filled with the sound of people.

There didn't seem to be many pedestrians in the Imperial City, the streets seemed very empty, and there was a huge city wall in the distance surrounding the center of the city, which surprised Ye Li a little.

The middle-aged man led Ye Li the way and said, "This is Mr.

Ye's first time entering the Imperial City, so he must be a little surprised."

Hearing the middle-aged man's question, Ye Li nodded and said, "To tell you the truth, I was indeed a little surprised.

This place is much deserted than I thought.

And I didn’t expect that there was a city wall in front of me.

Is that the inner city?”

When the middle-aged man heard Ye Li's question, there was no surprise on his face.

He nodded and said, "Almost everyone who enters the Imperial City for the first time will have similar doubts.

Although our Imperial City is huge, there are not many residents.

Residents do not need to buy their daily necessities.

There will be a special place to collect them, so there are not many shops.

The people in the city, except for some of the guards, are all spirit talisman masters.

Even the servants must have at least the spiritual mist stage, otherwise they are not qualified to enter the city.

The Imperial City is divided into inner and outer cities.

Only heaven-level disciples, deacons, elders and city lords live in the inner city.

It is the real core area and outsiders are not allowed to enter.

The outer city is for disciples below the prefecture level to live.

Of course, there are also some buildings used for daily activities, so at a glance, it looks deserted and empty. " After hearing the other party's explanation, Ye Li roughly understood the composition of the people here, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt a sharp shock in his heart.

Although pedestrians here seem to be relatively sparse, they are not too few.

You will still encounter many pedestrians in twos and threes along the way, which is not much different from some smaller towns.

But according to what the middle-aged man said, everyone you can see here is a spiritual talisman master, which is quite astonishing.

According to Ye Li's estimation, in such a large city, based on the population density he saw, there would be no less than 10,000 people living there.

In other words, there would be at least 10,000 Talisman Masters here.

Moreover, according to Ye Li's observation, except for the servants, guards, some handymen, and prefectural-level native disciples who are not yet adults, most of the others here have cultivation levels above the divine subjugation stage.

This made Ye Li swallow his mouth. saliva.

Such a huge number of masters who were in the trance stage or above was something he could not even imagine in the past.

The middle-aged man led Ye Li forward and continued: "Master Ye, my imperial city is divided into two courtyards, the east and the west, both of which are used to train young disciples.

The four of you candidates are now temporarily assigned to the East Courtyard to rest.

We will allocate a compound to you only after you officially become disciples of the Imperial City. " While listening to the middle-aged man's introduction, Ye Li couldn't help but look around curiously.

The young people around him would turn to look at Ye Li from time to time.

They could guess that Ye Li was the one who came to participate in the city trial this time, and they were somewhat curious about him.

Under the "watching" of everyone, Ye Li quickly followed the middle-aged man to a big house.

"Master Ye, Elder Qi is waiting in this room."

As the middle-aged man spoke, he pointed to the door of the room next to him and motioned to Ye Li.

Ye Li looked at the other party, hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Please lead the way."

The middle-aged man looked at Ye Li and waved his hand, smiled and said you're welcome, then turned and left.

After the middle-aged man left, Ye Li came to the house by himself, stretched out his hand and knocked lightly on the door.

Qi Wei's response immediately came from inside: "Come in." dd1805291:
