🕑 Added 2025-03-15 10:05:00 +0000 UTCAlong the way.
Sitting by the carriage window, looking at the passers-by and the surrounding buildings… those scenes were completely different from what he had seen before, and made the inexperienced Dugu Yan feel as if his eyes had been opened.
In her heart, she became more and more curious about the owner of this place, the Lord of Baiyun City.
The carriage was moving very fast, speeding along the unique highway!
After most of the day.
The three of them finally came to the inner area from the outer civilian area.
The buildings here are obvious, and are clearly different from those in civilian areas. Tall mansions can be seen everywhere, covering a large area.
“Go to the City Lord’s Mansion.”
Sun Zhongjing, who obviously knew something about the place, gave direct instructions to the driver.
“yes.”
The driver spoke in a dull tone and seemed to be a man of few words.
The City Lord’s Mansion is located in the center of the entire Baiyun City. It is surrounded by the inner area, and the inner area is also surrounded by the outer area.
The roads In Baiyun City are well connected, and you can go anywhere by road. Civilians in the outer areas can also go to the inner areas, and there are no restrictions on where people can go like in ordinary imperial cities.
Therefore, even in the inner area, you can see civilians and other outsiders everywhere.
After some time.
We have arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion.
The three of them got off the carriage and found that in front of them was a palace complex of unknown size, surrounded by high walls.
Normally, the city lord issues orders in the city lord’s mansion through documents and other things, but it is not so easy to enter the city lord’s mansion to see the city lord. If there is no token or other token, the guards at the gate alone are a hurdle that cannot be overcome.
Dugu Yan was surprised to find that he could not see through the strength of the guards guarding the gate. He could not help but look to his grandfather Dugu Bo for help, eager to get an answer.
“The lowest level of these guards is Soul King! The highest is Soul Sage!” Dugu Bo said with a serious expression.
You have to know that from Soul King to Soul Saint, this level of soul master has officially entered the ranks of high-level soul masters. Soul King level soul masters can easily ask for a title even in the Tiandou Empire and become a noble master. Not to mention Soul Saint.
But now a spirit master of this level was actually sent to guard the gate? !
Dugu Bo thought to himself that even the Spirit Hall didn’t dare to be so extravagant.
As soon as the three got off the carriage, they were immediately discovered by the guards guarding the gate.
As a person whose face had just been broadcast all over the world in Future Video not long ago, Sun Zhongjing’s face was naturally recognized by the guards at the first sight.
So a Soul Saint-level guard captain did not dare to neglect and hurried forward. He first bowed respectfully and then said, “Greetings to the two Your Excellencies. Do you have an appointment?”
“No appointment.”
Sun Zhongjing said bluntly: “Go and inform your city lord and say that an old friend is here to visit.”
“Yes, Your Excellency, please wait a moment.”
The guards didn’t dare to neglect him after hearing what he said. After all, this person was of the same level as the city lord. He quickly turned around and walked into the gate, even activating his martial spirit. He quickly flew to the palace where the city lord usually worked.
At the door.
Sun Zhongjing and Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, grandfather and grandson, waited quietly without any impatience.
After a while.
The Soul Saint followed by two Soul Saints came out and said respectfully to Sun Zhongjing, “Your Excellency, the King of Medicine, the City Lord invites you. Please follow me.”
Sun Zhongjing nodded gently and didn’t say much. The three of them followed the two Soul Saints who led the way, slowly crossed the gate and walked into the palace.
“This place… feels even more magnificent than the Tiandou Palace.”
Dugu Yan followed the two elders, looking around curiously from time to time. Looking at the magnificent and elegant palaces, she couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.
The City Lord's Mansion was built in the style of the Forbidden City in the previous life. It has integrated the essence of Chinese civilization. Compared with the Douluo Continent, which only knows how to fight and kill, it naturally has a much stronger sense of historical charm and cultural accumulation.
The three followed the two Soul Saints and suddenly got on a carriage. They were then carried along the wide corridor, passing through palaces one after another, and finally stopped at a palace with a plaque that read “Heart-Cultivating Palace”.
Get off the carriage.
“Your Excellency, the King of Medicine, please.”
Soul Saint said respectfully: “The Lord City Lord is already waiting in the hall.”
Sun Zhongjing nodded gently, and then the three of them followed the Soul Saint and walked slowly into the palace. Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan followed behind him, looking like they were following him, and didn’t say much.
Walked for a while.
Came to a reception hall.
As soon as I stepped over the threshold, I heard a calm and gentle voice.
“Senior Medicine King, long time no see.”
A man in white clothes and tied hair stood up and looked at Sun Zhongjing with a smile. His elegant and easy-going temperament and his innate nobleness made Dugu Yan feel a little fluttering in her chest. She was like a fan who was in close contact with her idol, and she was so excited that she felt dizzy.
However, no one present paid attention to Dugu Yan’s abnormality, but started chatting.
“You kid, I haven’t seen you for just a few years, but I didn’t expect you to have grown to where you are now.” Sun Zhongjing stroked his long beard, smiled at him and said, “I remember that you seemed to be a Soul Saint at that time, how come you have caught up with me, an old man, who has practiced for more than 150 years, in just a few years?”
“Hahaha, I just have another opportunity.”
Ye Cheng laughed long and did not elaborate.
Sun Zhongjing also smiled and didn’t ask any more questions. The two of them looked like they understood each other tacitly.
Then, Ye Cheng invited them to sit down, and soon a maid served them fragrant tea.
Sun Zhongjing took a sip of the teacup before gently putting it down. He said, “I won’t waste any more time talking nonsense. I, an old man, came here to seek refuge with you.”
“To seek refuge? Senior, don’t be ridiculous.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Cheng said with a smile: “With your strength, there is no place in the world that you can’t go. It is an honor for Baiyun City that you can come here.”
“It just so happens that there are still many vacant places in the city. If you don’t mind, you can use them at will.” He said very generously.
Dugu Bo, who was standing by, saw the familiar attitude between the two and thought to himself, It seems that the relationship between the Sect Master and the Lord of Baiyun City is much better than I thought. Yes, the Sect Master has saved his life several times after all. This is a life-saving grace, how can the relationship between the two not be good?
Once the sect leader joins, Baiyun City will have two Limit Douluo.
I’m afraid that from now on, Baiyun City will be a force that no one dares to provoke.
