Chapter 11: The Empire of Fally - Feiduo City (4)

  After a while, Zhou Weiqing found some pumpkins from somewhere and roasted them to eat with Xue Bing. The simple roasted pumpkin became delicious in his hands. After removing the charred skin, sprinkling some salt on the roasted pumpkin, the taste was quite good.

  Zhou Weiqing was most annoyed that Shangguan Xue'er wouldn't let him eat meat, and having been on a vegetarian diet the whole way, he felt like he was about to turn into a sweet potato.

  "Captain, didn't you say that we would arrive at Fei Du City in just a few dozen miles? Why don't we go into the city to have a good meal?" Zhou Weiqing said with some dissatisfaction after finishing his pumpkin.

  Shangguan Bing'er glanced at him and said, "Don't you get free meals in the city? Skipping one meal saves one meal's worth of money."

  Zhou Wei Qing rolled his eyes, "As if I didn't say. From now on, I must earn a lot of money, otherwise you will definitely starve me to death."

  "Hmph." Shangguan Bing'er didn't give him a chance to continue speaking, completely not giving this guy an opportunity to show off.

  These past few days were not without gain for Zhou Weiqing, as he continually used the Wind Attribute's Heavenly Energy, making him more familiar with its circulation. Although he still couldn't use it as effortlessly as Shangguan Fei'er, he no longer needed to accumulate energy and force it out.

  The advantages of the Undying Divine Art gradually emerged, and the upper limit of the Heavenly Power in Zhou Weiqing's body had clearly increased. If it was only the size of a pigeon egg at first, now it was almost as big as a chicken egg. Every day's journey, prompted him to open up his four major Dead Points, fully operating, with a significant increase in Heavenly Power. However, wanting to impact the last Dead Point, Yuanquan Hole, of the first chapter of the Undying Divine Art still required continuous accumulation.

  Yongquan Cave, as the last acupoint of the first chapter, has a much higher difficulty in cultivation compared to the previous four acupoints. The running route is quite complex, and Zhou Weiqing had tried it once before, but his current Heavenly Power was completely depleted before he could even reach Yongquan Cave. It's clear that he still needs to continue accumulating power.

  Half an hour later, a gigantic city appeared before Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Xue'er.

  The vast city wall stretches as far as the eye can see, with a height of over 40 meters. People in front of the castle look like ants. On the top of the castle, the imperial flag of the Empire of Flieria, with a cross-shaped holy sword emblem, flutters in the wind, displaying the grandeur of the powerful empire.

  Three suspension bridges spanned the fifty-meter-wide moat, connecting three massive arched city gates lined up in a row. The stone-carved words "Fei Tu City" were inscribed above the central gate, simple yet majestic. Merchants and travelers flowed back and forth without end, and although they had not yet entered the city, they already gave Zhou Weiqing and Xue Bing'er a glimpse of the city's prosperity.

  Shangguan Bing'er was clearly not here for the first time, and led Zhou Weiqing along the central suspension bridge into the city with ease.

  Inside Fei Du City, there was a bustling scene of horses and carriages coming and going in all directions. Zhou Weiqing couldn't help but look around constantly, feeling as if his eyes weren't enough to take it all in. This was the grandeur of a major power! Tian Bow City was also very prosperous, but compared to this place, it seemed to lack momentum.

  "Captain, where are we going?" Zhou Weiqing asked with a bitter face, looking down at his not-so-clean Heavenly Bow Empire military uniform.

  Shangguan Bing'er said: "First go to Taoyin Palace."

  Zhou Weiqing's eyes lit up, "Is it the Icy Soul Jade?"

  Shangguan Bing'er shook her head, but refused to say more to him, instead quickening her pace towards the city. Although she was no longer as swift as when she was in a hurry, she was still walking very fast, leaving Zhou Weiqing with no time to look at the shops lining both sides of the road. He could only follow closely behind her.

  This Flying Snow City is really too big, the two of them walked for nearly half a time before Official Icy Girl slowed down her pace. Zhou Weiqing followed her gaze and looked forward. In front of them not far away was a building that resembled a palace. Although he wasn't familiar with Flying Snow City, he knew this location should be considered the city center. The palace-style building in front of him was over ten meters high, with twelve white giant pillars supporting the dome. At the very center, a huge golden cross-shaped holy sword emblem stood out prominently. Just by looking at it, it was hard to judge how large the area of this building was for the time being.

  Behind the twelve giant pillars, there is a palace gate. On both sides of the front, eight warriors wearing silver armor from head to toe stand guard. Their weapons are heavy broadswords with blades over 1.5 meters long and nearly a foot wide, propped against the ground, with both hands grasping the hilt, their icy gaze scanning passersby. Within a radius of fifty meters around this palace, ordinary people would never be allowed to approach, showcasing its extraordinary status.

  Shangguan Bing'er paused for a moment before leading Zhou Weiqing towards the palace-like building, apparently this was the Taoyin Palace she had mentioned.

  "Halt." The two silver-armored warriors on the outermost side simultaneously let out a low growl, and their heavy swords rose menacingly, blocking the path of Ouyang Bing'er and Zhou Weiqing. Cold gazes converged on them, and Zhou Weiqing could clearly sense a hint of murderous intent.

  This is clearly a veteran heavy infantry who has been through the battlefield and stained with blood, this kind of infantry does not exist in the Tian Gong Empire, because it costs too much to build such an army. But in the Fei Li Empire, it was used as a gatekeeper for the Ta Yin Palace.

  Shangguan Bing'er stopped in her tracks, raised her right hand, and a soft green glow flowed around it. Two pale green jade beads appeared on her snowy wrist, shining with a brilliant light that seemed to drip with dew.

  Clang, clang, the two heavy swords landed again. The silver-armored warrior bowed respectfully and said: "Welcome, Zhongwei Tianshi, please come in."

  Xu Guan Bing Er nodded and turned her head towards Zhou Weiqing: "Show me your right hand's Body Jewel."

  "Oh." Zhou Weiqing gazed enviously at the silver armor on the Silver Armored Warrior, while urging his Heavenly Power to lift up his right hand. He thought to himself that this suit of armor must have excellent defensive capabilities. If he wore it, probably even a longbow wouldn't be able to penetrate it from a certain distance. What a great thing!

  A pure Ice Jade Body Pearl appeared on Zhou Weiqing's right wrist, presenting itself to the Silver Armored Warrior. The Ice Jade Body Pearl was crystal clear all over, as if a layer of frost was about to spread out from it.

  "Junior Master, please enter." Just now, they had just put down their heavy swords and looked at Zhou Weiqing's right wrist, which also had a pure body pearl representing the Tianzhu master. Only then did these two silver-armored warriors retreat one step at a time, clearing the way.
