The closer you get to Shengming City, the more familiar the surrounding scenery becomes.??                                                      

"Shengming City, I'm finally back!"

Zhang Ruochen stood at the bow of the boat and looked at both sides of the river.

Not far away, there is a 74-story tower on the top of Mount Kongle, which is a tower built by an ancient sage. Eight hundred years ago, Zhang Ruochen and Chi Yao climbed up together to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Central Empire of the Holy Ming.

At the gate of the city, there are two bronze gold tiles that are 69 meters tall, symbolizing the totems of the Central Empire of the Holy Ming, and the war did not destroy them.

The towering city walls are like a row of towering black mountains. The city gates are very magnificent, very much like the holy gate leading to the Heavenly Palace.

When he arrived at the pier outside the city, Zhang Ruochen was full of thoughts, looking at everything around him, recalling some past events, and his calm heart rippled in circles.

There were many dignitaries gathered on the dock, and they were photographed into a long dragon. At least hundreds of people were required to be welcomed, as if they were greeting some important person?

Zhang Ruochen glanced at Chu Siyuan and said, "Senior Chu, your reputation is indeed very big. So many people came to greet you."

"Yeah?"

Chu Siyuan was a little surprised, his eyes turned, and he thought to himself that he had always been very low-key when he came to Shengming City this time and did not notify the Confucian and Taoist students in advance. How could anyone come to greet him?

Chu Siyuan sorted out his clothes and walked out, looked up at the dock, but saw that the people were not greeting him, but staring in another direction.

In that direction, a metal ship more than 100 meters long slowly docked. A group of noble figures walked down and surrounded by everyone and entered the Shengming City.

Zhang Ruochen said lightly: "It turns out that I am not here to welcome you. Senior in Shengming City, it seems that he has little influence."

He said this on purpose mainly because he wanted to anger Chu Siyuan.

Chu Siyuan was suddenly a little displeased and snorted: "If I had notified in advance, the Confucian and Taoist students and court officials who came to greet us would definitely be ten times or even a hundred times that of him. But I was low-key and did not want to make such a big fanfare."

"Maybe!"

Zhang Ruochen just smiled and said, "There is no banquet that will last forever. Since we have arrived in Shengming City, we will do our own things."

After saying this, Zhang Ruochen immediately used his body technique and entered the Shengming City first with a strange degree.

Chu Siyuan stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes into a slit: "This kid is in a hurry to throw me away. What are you going to do? There must be some ulterior secret."

If it were an ordinary person, Chu Siyuan would not have any interest in him. The problem is that Zhang Ruochen is not an ordinary person. This guy has done many major things that shocked the world.

Chu Siyuan shook his wide sleeves and followed.

"Old man Chu really followed. Is the dignified leader of the Hua Sect so idle?" Zhang Ruochen was speechless.

He did not immediately rush to the imperial tomb, but instead used the pace of walking around the city.

Just when Zhang Ruochen entered the Shengming Imperial City, the masters of Mingtang stared at him and followed in the dark, monitoring his every move.

Shengming City has an ancient history and has existed since ancient times. It is not only the imperial city of the Shengming Central Empire, but also in a more distant era, but also some ancient civilizations that have also established their capital here.

After millions of years of prosperity and development, the urban area of ​​Shengming City has been continuously expanded. To this day, it has covered thousands of miles of land, and at least one billion humans live in the city.

It is not an exaggeration to call it a country in a city.

After visiting the outer city for most of the day, Zhang Ruochen walked towards the inner city, and the streets and alleys were even more prosperous. You could see some powerful humans with strong cultivation everywhere.

Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen smelled a faint smell of blood, which came from a mansion on the left.

Outside the mansion, there was a team of soldiers wearing black armor.

They rode on the back of the beast, and a cold aura radiated from their bodies, surrounding the entire mansion.

In the army, there were four formation masters who arranged a Zhoutian formation to cover this mansion to prevent anyone from escaping from inside.

Zhang Ruochen grabbed a martial arts monk from the Heavenly Realm and asked him what was going on?

The martial arts monk said, "That is the Canglong Army of Lingxiao Tianwang Mansion, who is arresting the remnants of the previous dynasty."

"Are the remnants of the previous dynasty... Mingtang?" Zhang Ruochen asked.

"It's not Mingtang. It is said that this mansion lives in a descendant of the Zhang family of the royal family. It has been hidden in Shengming City and has only been recently discovered." The martial arts monk whispered.

Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen showed a strange light, and then drove the martial arts monk away.

After wandering around this mansion, Zhang Ruochen found a weak defense position, used space power to break a gap in the formation, and quietly broke in.

Zhang Ruochen has never had any news about the royal family. Now, he finally found a clue, so he naturally had to go in and investigate.

When you enter the mansion, the bloody smell becomes stronger.

On the ground, there were dead corpses, not only some monks who had practiced martial arts, but also many ordinary people, and even the corpses of children and the elderly.

The corridor was full of blood.

Some of the houses, with fire coming out, and some people screaming inside, soon became quiet again and lost their voice.

Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath and came outside the lobby.

Outside the door of the lobby, there was a cold Canglong army standing on each side, guarding there.

A general from the Canglong Army sat at the top, looking in his thirties, with a tiger-back and a bear-bear-waisted look, and his eyes were filled with cold air.

This person is named Xie Kui.

At the bottom, there were thirteen monks in gorgeous clothes kneeling, not ordinary people.

In addition, dozens of people fell to the ground, all of whom had their necks cut off.

Xie Kui said in a deep voice: "You'd better tell me honestly, where are the remnants of other previous dynasties hidden? Whoever tells it first, I will spare his life."

Then, Xie Kui pointed his finger at an eleven or 2-year-old boy and said, "You said."

A soldier two meters tall walked to the boy's side with a wide heavy sword, with a sneer in his eyes, hanging the heavy sword above the boy's head.

Obviously, the boy would immediately become dissatisfied without saying anything valuable.

The boy was still very young, and his heart was very scared, but his eyes showed a firm look. He trembled and said, "You...you must die well... When the emperor returns, we will definitely be able to regain everything we used to."

Xie Kui shook his head and waved his hand gently.

The burly soldier, who was two meters tall, smiled, raised his heavy sword, and suddenly slashed downwards.

The thirteen monks kneeling on the ground all closed their eyes tightly, and one of the women even cried in a low voice.

"Bang!"

A crisp and broken sound rang out.

The wide heavy sword was cut into two pieces out of thin air.

Half of them fell to the ground with a clang.

"Who?"

At the first moment, all Canglong Army present will pull out their weapons and emit an astonishing evil aura.

Xie Kui was still sitting on the chair with steady steadily, glanced around, and laughed: "Have the Zhang family master finally arrived? I thought I could not force you out."

"Wow!"

Zhang Ruochen was wearing a meteor invisibility cloak and stood beside the boy, with his body appearing translucent, and said, "Are you from Lingxiao Tianwang Mansion?"

Xie Kui knew that the other party was a master and did not dare to look down on him. He immediately stood up and said, "Lingxiao Tianwang Mansion was in charge of Shengming City to clear the remnants of the previous dynasty and establish a peaceful and prosperous era. The people of your Zhang family are too obsessed with it. Eight hundred years have passed, and they are still thinking about restoring the country."

Zhang Ruochen confirmed the other party's identity and nodded, his voice a little cold, saying, "You should pay some price after killing so many innocent people?"

"If we want to pay the price, it depends on whether you have that great ability?"

Xie Kui ordered, "Take it."

The burly soldier two meters tall who was closest to Zhang Ruochen waved the broken knife in his hand and slashed at Zhang Ruochen's neck.

"Bang!"

Zhang Ruochen pressed his palm out and hit his chest.

Suddenly, the sergeant's bones turned into powder, like a ball of soft meat, spread on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ruochen's fingers pinched into a sword technique, and thousands of sword energy condensed over the entire mansion and flew out at the same time.

"Puff."

As the sword energy flew, the soldiers of the Canglong Army fell to the ground one by one.

Xie Kui was shocked and did not expect that the master who rushed over was so powerful. So he immediately took out a piece of light talisman and burned a message, wanting to spread the message.

However, before he could knock out the light talisman, Zhang Ruochen's palm print had already fallen on him.

There was a ball of hot flame on the palm print, which burned Xie Kui's body to red and finally turned completely into ashes.

The whole mansion became quite quiet.

In just a moment, the soldiers of the Canglong Army died completely.

"Thank you, my husband, to help me."

"Dare you ask me about my grandfather's name?"

...

On the ground, thirteen descendants of the Zhang family stood up one after another and thanked Zhang Ruochen.

"I am also a descendant of the Zhang family."

Zhang Ruochen wore a magical gold mask and stared at one of the men with the highest cultivation level, asking: "Can you take me to see other Zhang family members?"

That man was the owner of this mansion, named Zhang Fengxing, and his cultivation level reached the fourth change of fish and dragon.

Zhang Fengxing's face showed a look of embarrassment.

Obviously, he was not completely relieved about Zhang Ruochen and had concerns.

The eleven-year-old boy admired Zhang Ruochen very much. Just now, the combat power shown by Zhang Ruochen was like a god of war descending to earth, with an unrivaled aura, slapped a master like Xie Kui to death with one palm.

The young man was quite excited to see such a strong man and wanted to have the same powerful power as Zhang Ruochen.

So he immediately said: "Father, this big brother, who killed hundreds of soldiers from the Canglong Army in a row, will definitely not be from the court."

Zhang Fengxing is an experienced person, not as simple as his son, and did not trust Zhang Ruochen easily, and said, "I must report to the superiors first before I can make a decision. I hope you can understand."
