"Soone’s coming."
Ye Xuan suddenly raised his head; the Emperor’s Eye seed to pierce through the void, seeing tiny black specks rapidly approaching in the distance.
"You all return to the Scroll Space for now."
Ye Xuan glanced at the others, and upon his signal, everyone swiftly moved back into the Holy and Demon Map Scroll.
After Bai Qian and the others disappeared, Ye Xuan’s gaze swept over to see nearly a hundred figures clad in black armor standing straight with spears, their sharp and cold eyes continually scanning the surroundings. Powerful auras emanated from their bodies.
These people were evidently the city guards of Fengtian Main City.
In front of the many city guards, a figure stood straight, his armor emitting a faint blue glow, adding a touch of coldness. His cape swayed, making him appear confident and spirited.
This person should be the leader of these city guards.
The armored youth scanned the surroundings, then slightly furrowed his brows, finally setting his gaze on Ye Xuan, "Kid, are you the only one here?"
"Obviously, yes."
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, neither affirming nor denying.
He briefly assessed; this armored youth should have the cultivation of a Fifth Grade Martial Saint, quite remarkable among the younger generation.
"Strange, could the intelligence be wrong?"
The armored youth was ordered to investigate; they had received orders claiming there was an astonishing fight nearby, being nearest, they were sent over. But now, it seed not to be the case.
Where’s the battle?
"Kid, what are you up to?"
After confirming no one else was around, the armored youth looked back at Ye Xuan, squinted, and asked.
"I’m just an inconsequential nobody. Here in Fengtian City to attend Princess Nangong’s suitor selection event."
Ye Xuan bowed and said.
"Suitor selection event? Just you?"
The armored youth scrutinized Ye Xuan, then shook his head, a hint of disdain in his eyes, "So many frogs want to join the feast, Princess Nangong is so distinguished, competitors this ti are big figures; outstanding individuals from all facets of the Eastern Realm have co to Fengtian City. You have no chance."
"Indeed, even Yuquan Commander knows better than to compete; soone like you shouldn’t seek humiliation. It’d be embarrassing, tainting your na far and wide." A city guard instantly chid in.
"Thanks for the caution, but I still plan to try."
Ye Xuan naturally wouldn’t get angry over such trivial matters; before attending the suitor selection event, he intends to et Nangong Yao.
"Stubborn fool. Knowing this, we won’t waste breath on you. Let tell you, to participate, you must have a personally issued invitation from the Princess. Do you have it?"
Yuquan Commander coldly smiled, clearly displeased, his eyes further filled with ridicule.
"An invitation is needed?"
Ye Xuan slightly furrowed his brows, genuinely unaware that an invitation was required for the event.
"Haha, dreaming of attending without an invitation, utterly foolish."
Yuquan Commander didn’t want to spare Ye Xuan another glance; waving his hand, he led the city guards away.
In his view, Ye Xuan was rely an unknown rustic fool, so he wasted his ti talking to him for too long.
"Seems I must obtain an invitation."
After Yuquan’s departure, Ye Xuan showed contemplative concern; without the invitation, his skills might be great, yet he can’t enter.
"Better enter the city first."
Ye Xuan thought it over; he couldn’t achieve much here. Getting into Fengtian Main City was necessary for a plan; outside wasn’t safe, and the Divine Domain might send pursuers.
Whoosh!
With a swift motion, Ye Xuan vanished from the spot.
...
Several hundred miles away.
A magnificent city entered view, not losing grandeur to Divine Dream City. Over the city, large Demon Beasts occasionally flew by, with formidable figures visible on their backs.
This was Fengtian Main City, the sole rival to Divine Dream City in the Eastern Realm.
Upon entering the city, Ye Xuan found the most luxurious tavern, seeking both a place to stay and gather news.
At the tavern, Ye Xuan heard that tonight a lavish event hosted by the Princess herself would take place here, where charming the Princess could yield great opportunity.
Ye Xuan, hoping for luck, decided to attend.
At night, the entire tavern’s courtyard glowed brightly in luxury.
Ye Xuan appeared on the second floor, looked down, seeing young warriors eager to start so activity.
The final event reward seed to be eting the Princess atop the building.
In a focus-worthy area, maids were visible, suggesting the Princess’s position.
Ye Xuan opened the Emperor’s Eye, peering through, yet saw not Nangong Yao but a different unfamiliar young woman seated.
"These idiots think they can woo the Princess with limited skill, utterly naive."
The young woman spoke to a nearby maid.
"Scheming tricksters abound here, it’s amusing to toy with them, helping the Princess weed out so candidates first."
The maid chuckled.
"They shouldn’t reach here, lest the ploy is exposed."
The young woman worriedly said.
"No way. Below, Xiong ng Commander guards; he’s the Seven Stars Commander. Who can slip past him unnoticed? Such a feat among all attendees is rare." The maid shook her head, doubting anyone could stealthily arrive.
"You two are quite bold, deceiving so many. Aren’t you afraid of provoking widespread outrage?" Just as the young woman settled down, a calm voice suddenly interrupted; the two looked towards the window, where a young man unexpectedly appeared.
"How did you get in?"
The young woman was shocked; soone had snuck in, yet Xiong ng Commander was oblivious—who was this guy?
