pulled Qin Wan back a distance."Miss Wan'er, could this old man know the location of the Demon Cave" Yun Hao asked.Qin Wan nodded. "He is an elder of the Qin family, he knows."Yun Hao hummed in respon...Han Qiushan, who just demonstrated terrifying combat prowess by silently and effortlessly eliminating four half-step Return to One realm experts with a single shot, turned his head towards Yun Hao and respectfully addressed him as "Yun Shi".

Dongfang Xiu, Fatty, and Shi Feng were all stunned.

Who is Han Qianshan

Claimed to be a super genius once in five hundred years!

Now, he is at the top of the Qingfeng Empire's military strength pyramid.

Even though they firmly believe that Eastern Show's potential surpasses Han Qian Shan's, at least for now, Yun Hao is still too young...

Yes, Han Qian Shan actually called Yun Hao "Master Yun"... If this news were to spread, it would definitely shock the jaws and eyeballs of countless people!

Unbelievable!

Yun Hao looked at Han Qian Shan, he admired this person more and more.

A scholar by birth, with the arrogance and courtesy of a scholar, yet without the pedantry of a scholar. His intentions are pure, his mind is clear.

"General Han, you don't need to thank me, it's all due to your good fortune.

"

"Let's continue on our journey," Yun Hao said.

Han Qianshan nodded and said, "A group of scoundrels dare not come again. We must also speed up."

As they spoke, Han Qianshan's soul manifested, and a giant peng bird burst forth from his body. The peng spread its wings, the edges shimmering with a faint golden light. An aura of noble pride surrounded it.

"A primordial spirit with a trace of the Golden-Winged Great Peng's bloodline isn't bad at all," Yun Hao thought to himself.

The pureblood Golden-winged Roc, an ancient and exotic species, was once one of the rulers of heaven and earth, even able to rival dragons.

Han Qian Shan's primordial spirit, which contained a trace of the Golden-winged Great Peng bloodline, was although far inferior to a pureblood Golden-winged Great Peng by ten thousand and eight thousand miles, still one level higher than Dong Fang Xiu's Black Flood Dragon primordial spirit.

Divine Spirit Ascends, Han Qiushan

He jumped up and said, "Come on up."

Yun Hao stepped on the clear wind and ascended, his figure graceful and unrestrained, landing on the body of the Dapeng primordial spirit.

Fatso, Dongfang Xiu, Shi Feng, and Xiao Hei also flew up one after another.

"A giant peng bird, rising with the wind for a day, soared straight up for ninety thousand miles!" Dongfang Xiu's voice was magnanimous and unrestrained, seeming to be filled with emotion.

"Xiuer, I didn't expect you to have such talent." Shi Feng seemed surprised.

Dongfang Xiu put on an air of profoundness and said, “I have many skills. You’ll find out later.”

"I never expected that the poems I wrote when I was young and reckless would still be remembered today," Han Qian Shan's voice echoed.

Dongfang Xiu: "..."

Apparently, these two lines of poetry were written by Han Qianshan when he was young… He really doesn’t know.

Facing the strange looks from Shi Feng and the Fatty, Dongfang Xiu felt very embarrassed...

I wanted to show off, but I got slapped in the face instantly.

"Let's go!"

Han Qianshan lightly uttered a sound.

The next moment, Dapeng Yuan's spirit form instantly shot forward.

"Ah…"

Screams of terror rang out, and the fat men were so frightened that their hearts pounded wildly.

What a fast speed!

A howling wind whipped around them, roaring in their ears like blades. It was sharp and fierce, but thankfully, Han Qianshan's strength protected them.

Han Qian Shan turned his head back and saw three people and a dog, all looking terrified. Only Yun Hao remained composed, sitting cross-legged with an even countenance. With each breath he inhaled and exhaled, streaks of crimson qi and blood shimmered around him, appearing and disappearing like wisps of mist.

Han Qianshan had a sigh in his heart, turned around, and with all his might controlled the Dapeng's spirit, rushing towards the Imperial City at the fastest speed.

………

Imperial City.

The towering walls stood before Yun Hao and the others like a giant dragon stretching across the sky.

A group of people stood outside the city. Fatty and Shi Feng both had shocked expressions on their faces.

It's truly magnificent!

A nameless breath swept over, bringing a suffocating pressure.

Dongfang Xiu grew up in the Imperial City, so he was used to it and didn't feel anything special.

Yun Hao looked at the city wall in front of him. In his eyes, countless spirit patterns were inlaid in the city wall, forming an extremely powerful formation.

Even though the Qingfeng Dynasty is just a small, minor country, its capital city should not be underestimated.

Han Qian Shan noticed Yun Hao staring at the city wall and said, "A hundred years ago, the Qing Feng Imperial Dynasty had a genius array master named Chu Kong. He reached the Profound Rank Upper Grade at just thirty years old."

The previous emperor entrusted him with the task of constructing the Imperial City Grand Formation. After a century of deployment, both the inner and outer city walls of the imperial city have been covered by the Nine Dragons Shocking Heaven Array.

The Nine Dragons Heavenly Formation, ranked among the top formations in the Profound Rank, can suppress even Heaven Realm experts who have transcended the Unification realm!

The fat man blinked: "So, that formation master Chu Kong has also advanced to the peak of the Xuan rank"

"Not yet." It was Dong Fangxiu who spoke, "He's still half a step away from the peak of the Xuan rank. This formation is considered top-tier because it embodies the imperial dynasty's essence."

He competed with my great-uncle for the position of Celestial Master, but lost to my great-uncle.

Since then, he has kept to himself, not leaving his residence for twenty years.

By the way... Zhou Rong from the Prime Minister's residence, is the only disciple of Chu Kong.

Zhou Rong was almost killed by Yun Hao in the ruins of the Fire Altar, but luckily escaped with a teleportation artifact.

Yun Hao's innate fire seed manifested in Beihang County. Logically speaking, the news shouldn't have spread to the imperial city so quickly. It was the actions of the Prime Minister's residence that pushed things along behind the scenes, leading to the incident of someone intercepting and killing him halfway.

Also thanks to the preparations made by Qinfeng Academy, letting Han Qiashan leave and take a trip outside. Otherwise, the journey from the county city to the imperial city would have been impossible this smooth.

"Enter the city," Yun Hao said calmly.

He could sense that, at this moment, several pairs of eyes were watching him from above the city walls, their gaze both present and absent.

But there's nothing to be afraid of.

They now dare not act recklessly!

At the foot of the city wall, attacking and killing a super genius from Qingfeng Martial Academy, this is a blatant break with Qingfeng Martial Academy, and a serious provocation to the imperial authority!

Moreover, Han Qian Shan standing beside Yun Hao, even if they made a move, they wouldn't be able to succeed!

There is Han Qian Shan.

The city guard didn't dare to stop him, they didn't even bother with the usual questioning and just let him pass.

Beyond the city walls lay the opulent grandeur of the Imperial City. Broad avenues, lavish buildings, and a constant flow of people – even in Beihang County, where top-tier Jindan Realm cultivators resided, one could occasionally spot one or two on the streets of the imperial city.

Dongfang Xiu said: "This is the outer city. Ordinary people, as well as family members of officials below rank four, and those who have come from other places, are only allowed to live in the outer city area."

Only officials of rank three or above, noblemen with titles, and some special talents of the imperial court were qualified to live in the inner city.

The Qingfeng Academy is located outside the city walls due to the numerous disciples from various regions of the imperial court, but it is situated in the area closest to the inner city.

As for the Cangxing General Hospital, hmph, they don't have the qualifications to set foot in the Imperial City!

No matter how strongly the Cangxing Martial Academy has risen in recent years, at its core, the Cangxing Martial Academy is an outsider academy. The Qingfeng Martial Academy is where the Qingfeng Imperial Dynasty cultivates martial artist talents!

The imperial city was under a flight ban, even Han Qianshan was no exception, so they could only walk to Qifeng Manor.

Fortunately, Han Qian Shan rarely shows his face and only a few people know him. Otherwise, this legendary figure of the Qingfeng Dynasty would certainly cause a stir.

Crossing bustling streets, Yunhao suddenly spoke,

"General Han, how many key points are there within the Nine Dragons Heavenly Array of this imperial city"

The great central hub, naturally refers to the core of controlling the formation.

Before Han Qianshan could reply, Dongfang Xiu jumped in, saying: "There is only one key point, located within the palace. Only with the national jade seal can you fully control the power of the formation!"

Han Qian Shan nodded, indicating that Dong Fang Xiu's words were correct.

"Is there only one pivot point" Yun Hao thought to himself, his eyes flickering. The Nine Dragons Sky-Shattering Formation he saw was not like this at all! Guang were sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, recuperating from the exhaustion of their battles earlier that day.This scene is too eerie, after all, there are hundreds of people around them...
