Long Yu did not prepare too many things. Before leaving, he took out a lot of earth-level and heaven-level elixirs, as well as some earth-level and heaven-level combat soldiers from the Shura Ancient Palace, intending to give them to the people in Tianyu Manor.
However, Grand Palace Master Hong Yue said that if they just gave them away for free, no one would know how hard it was to get these things. She advocated a system similar to the previous one in Liuliyue Palace, that is, by completing the manor tasks, one could get manor points, which would be used as rewards to give the martial artists what they needed.
In other words, whether it is elixir or soldiers, they can only be obtained through labor.
Long Yu naturally agreed with this suggestion and let the Grand Palace Master Hong Yue do it himself. After all, in Tianyu Manor, Hong Yue had the highest level of martial arts, reaching the Heavenly Tribulation Realm. Compared with others, he did not have such deterrent power.
In addition, Hongyue was originally the Grand Palace Master of Liuliyue Palace and was quite good at management. However, the number of martial artists in Tianyu Manor was less than half of that in the original Liuliyue Palace.
After making all the arrangements, Long Yu prepared to set off with Shu Chan.
He did not plan to take the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Tower away. Instead, he and Shu Chan controlled the Ancient Shura Palace and headed to the edge where the territories of the Beixue Dynasty and the Tianqin Dynasty intersected.
Taking advantage of the fact that Emperor Tianqin was injured, Long Yu and Shu Chan decided to take action as soon as possible.
The next morning, Long Yu and Shu Chan entered the Shura Ancient Palace together. They both regained the feeling of being in harmony with the Shura Ancient Palace.
This kind of harmony is like the harmony and resonance with the soldiers, but it is not entirely true. After all, the Shura Ancient Temple is in harmony with two people. If they are alone, they cannot reach the level of harmony and resonance.
Neither of them can control the Shura Ancient Palace to fight, and they can only use it as a flying and defensive tool. Once they reach the edge of the Beixue Dynasty, in order to hide their whereabouts, they certainly cannot drive the Shura Ancient Palace into the Tianqin Dynasty, and can only place it on the edge of the Beixue Dynasty.
Not long after, Long Yu and Shu Chan arrived at a place called Ruoshui County.
Ruoshui County is a county located in the southernmost part of the Beixue Dynasty. It is said that the county princess is a stunningly beautiful woman. Although she has just entered the level of the kingly secret realm, no one in the entire Beixue Dynasty is willing to provoke her.
Because such a beautiful woman has too many protectors, such as some powerful people from the surrounding counties and prefectures...
Together, Long Yu and Shu Chan drove the Shura Ancient Palace to the vicinity of Ruoshui County and hid it in a snowy forest. They were not worried about the Shura Ancient Palace being discovered by others, because even if others discovered the Shura Ancient Palace, they would not be able to enter it, let alone take it away.
The two planned to rest in the Ruoshui County Mansion for one night and then set out together the next day. However, what they did not expect was that their trip actually alarmed the King of Ruoshui County.
As soon as the two arrived at the Ruoshui County Government, they saw a white cloud floating over a snowy city. A graceful figure was looming among the white cloud. Although her face could not be seen clearly, it was already clear that she must be a stunningly beautiful woman.
"You two great gentlemen have come to visit our Ruoshui County, which really brings honor to our Ruoshui County."
The beautiful woman floated in the white clouds, her voice as moving as that of a yellow oriole, and there was an unintentional tenderness in her words, which made her look charming and lovely even before she appeared.
It must be the Shura Ancient Palace of Long Yu and Shu Chan that alarmed the Prince of Ruoshui. After all, at that time, the Ice Bird Demon King Yu Hanxin personally took action to rescue the people in the Shura Ancient Palace from the hands of Emperor Tianqin.
At that time, the battlefield between Yu Hanxin and Emperor Tian Qin seemed to be still in Ruoshui County. No wonder the Prince of Ruoshui County knew about the two of them.
Hearing King Ruoshui's soft and weak voice, Long Yu's heart moved.
The Tianqin Dynasty and the Beixue Dynasty both have about forty or fifty county prefectures, and the lord of each county prefecture is a strong man from the Wangdao Secret Realm. However, it does not mean that there is only one strong man from the Wangdao Secret Realm in each county prefecture.
Just like Ruoshui County, although the current King of Ruoshui County is a beautiful woman, in fact, the previous King of Ruoshui County is not dead, but has been living in seclusion in Ruoshui Ice City. He is also a strong man in the King's Secret Realm.
Long Yu thought that if he couldn't find any trace of King Shura and King Shadow at that time, he could go to other places to find a powerful person from the secret realm of the king with decent character and return to Tianyu Manor to guard it.
This will be of great benefit to the development of Tianyu Manor, but the candidate cannot be chosen casually, otherwise Tianyu Manor may become someone else's property.
Long Yu would never do something like letting a wolf into the house, so he had to be extremely cautious in this matter.
"I didn't expect that King Ruoshui would come to greet us personally. It seems we are lucky."
Shu Chan narrowed her eyes and smiled, but she did not feel flattered. After all, she was Princess Shura and her father was a prince. She did not have the same awe and awe for the strong men in the secret realm of the king as ordinary martial artists did.
"You two, please come this way. I have prepared a fine courtyard in Ruoshui Ice City for you to stay in. However, there is one thing I want to ask you two."
The white cloud where King Ruoshui was hiding soon approached the two of them. Then, a tall and beautiful woman in white clothes with a tender and fair face appeared in front of them. Her pair of eyes seemed to captivate people and left a deep impression on people at first sight.
"King Ruoshui, please speak."
Shu Chan nodded.
Of course she would accept the other party's enthusiasm. She was too lazy to think about whether the other party had any conspiracy. If a powerful person from the Kingly Dao Secret Realm wanted to deal with her and Long Yu, he could solve it easily. Why would he need any conspiracy
Looking at King Ruoshui's expression, it seemed that he had something to ask. This should be the main purpose of King Ruoshui coming up to greet the two of them.
"Not long ago, Lord Yu Hanxin had a great battle with Emperor Tianqin, and it seems that Emperor Tianqin was injured. Is this true?"
When Prince Ruoshui asked this question, there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"She did say that Emperor Tianqin was seriously injured. But when I went to the Tianqin Dynasty with her a while ago, Emperor Tianqin did not show up. So the injury should be true."
Long Yu said in a deep voice.
He had no idea about Emperor Tianqin's situation, so he could only follow Yu Hanxin's statement.
“What a pity.”
Upon hearing this, Prince Ruoshui shook his head with a little regret: "This Emperor Tianqin is extremely arrogant. At the last Shenwu Emperor Conference, he even had bad intentions towards my sister. I really want to see him die soon..."
Upon hearing this, Long Yu and Shu Chan immediately understood King Ruoshui's purpose. It turned out that she wanted to inquire about the situation of Emperor Tianqin, and she seemed to have a lot of hatred against Emperor Tianqin.
"You two have come a long way, so you should rest early. Come with me."
King Ruoshui shook his head, put aside the matter of Emperor Tianqin for the time being, and invited Long Yu and Shu Chan to go to Ruoshui Ice City together.
The two were just looking for a place to stay, so of course they would not refuse. The place arranged by Prince Ruoshui was always better than the place they found themselves. It went without saying that there was plenty of spiritual energy in the heaven and earth, and the most important thing was that they would not be disturbed by anyone else.
No matter whether it is cultivation or comprehension, the most taboo thing for martial artists is being disturbed. So if they just find a place to live in Ruoshui Ice City, they probably won’t be able to practice peacefully.
For Long Yu now, experience is one aspect, and another important aspect is to comprehend the ancient martial arts, Nine Nether Sky Light, as soon as possible.
…
In Ruoshui Ice City, in the Prince’s mansion.
Long Yu occupied a room by himself in the courtyard arranged by King Ruoshui. It was beginning to darken, and he prepared for the whole night before trying to comprehend the Nine Nether Sky Light martial art.
However, this place was not as quiet as he had imagined.
This courtyard in the prince's mansion is a place specially used by Ruoshui County to entertain distinguished guests. In addition to Long Yu and Shu Chan, there are many other talented martial artists from all over the Beixue Dynasty, and even princes and nobles from other dynasties and empires.
Compared to dynasties like the Tianqin Dynasty and the Beixue Dynasty, the empire is the strongest force in the Shenwu world. Every emperor of the empire is a strong man in the realm of emperor, reaching the peak level of the secret realm of the kingly way. Even Yu Hanxin can't make a wave in front of the strong man in the realm of emperor.
Before this, Long Yu had never dealt with any empire in the Shenwu world.
However, after arriving at Ruoshui Mansion, he discovered that the princes, nobles, and young geniuses from the empire were all very arrogant and condescending.
At this time, it was the annual time when the cold lotus fruit of the Beixue Dynasty was about to mature, so it attracted many young talents from the surrounding great empires to come and take pictures of the cold lotus fruit.
At the same time, they heard that Prince Ruoshui was extremely handsome, so they came to Ruoshui County before the auction of the Cold Lotus Fruit began, wanting to see her true appearance. If they really liked Prince Ruoshui, they even wanted to bring her back to the empire and make her their woman!
This was the first thing Long Yu saw when he arrived at the Prince's mansion.
Several young martial artists dressed in gorgeous clothes, wearing several pieces of Great Wilderness-class war weapons, were arguing in the courtyard, saying that they all wanted Ruoshui County King to be their woman, or that if they wanted the Cold Lotus Fruit, they would have to give up Ruoshui County King, etc...
Long Yu naturally ignored them. In fact, each of these young martial artists was much stronger than him. At the very least, they were all peak warriors of the Seven Paths of Divine Ability Realm. Some were even in the Kingly Path Secret Realm, just like the genius that he had met before, the Sixth Prince of the Tianqin Dynasty.
Facing these arrogant guys, it would be useless even if Long Yu wanted to take action.
These are super geniuses from neighboring enemy countries. Not only are they gifted, they also have training resources far beyond ordinary people, as well as powerful backing!
Not to mention Long Yu, even Prince Ruoshui, Yu Hanxin and Queen Beixue would probably not dare to provoke these people easily.
Long Yu ignored these guys and prepared to comprehend and practice his own martial arts.
However, just because he doesn't want to pay attention to other people doesn't mean that there won't be troubles coming his way.
