Chapter 893: Returning to the City

Chapter 893: Returning to the City

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There were 60 more people when they returned to the city. Some of the experts even brought along their disciples.

For instance, Gluttonous Duke and also Ma Hongyu.

Along the way, the aboriginal officials and famous experts stayed together as a group.

Qi Zixiao and Li Yuanzhu chatted occasionally. Qin Chuan kept finding someone to fight with while Tong Zhenye kept looking at those experts. His eyes kept darting around, and there was no telling what he was thinking about. Like before, Lian Liang was always picking fights as well. He was always provoking others, but never won a fight.

He had challenged several experts in a row. If it wasn’t for Ren Baqian and Qi Zixiao, he would already be dead by now.

Although many of the aboriginal elders were very strong, they had extremely low chances of winning against these top experts.

On the way back to the city, the two parties fought many times. Their individual characteristics were also pretty distinct.

The aboriginals were known for their brute strength and their surly, blunt characters.

The Heaven-grade weapons of these Spirit Wheel experts were all different, their abilities were diverse, and their moves were exquisite.

For instance, Ren Baqian always felt that Ma Hongyu should be called Ma Liang.

In one stroke, he could turn the ground into a swamp and make greenery, boulders and arrows rain successively, causing confusion among his enemies.

His attacks weren’t violent, but were multifaceted and very difficult to effectively defend against.

Xu Gongsou’s Heaven-grade weapon was a large hand that was several meters wide. There was also a set of constellations on its palm that could attack his enemies.

These attacks were truly eye-opening for Ren Baqian.

However, the aboriginals had a secret method to stimulate the blood and vital breath (TLC. Is this supposed to be “vital essence” or maybe “vital qi” ?) in their bodies. This was able to greatly increase their strength for a short period of time, but the side effects were huge.

The empress would usually have to take a month to recover. Since the others weren’t as strong, they would take even longer to recover.

If the aboriginals were to use this trump card when fighting for their lives, Ren Baqian felt that the protector generals like Xi Wanya and Li Qianqiu could still stand a chance against these top Spirit Wheel experts.

Qin Chuan and Tong Zhenye also stood a chance against the experts that were ranked twentieth and higher.

The rest of the aboriginals didn’t stand any chance at all.

Of course, if they were facing ordinary Spirit Wheel experts, the situation would be reversed!

In general, there was a larger number of aboriginal experts. Even though the lower tier Cardinal Heaven experts were stronger than ordinary Spirit Wheel experts, they still fell way behind these top experts.

On the way back to Lan City, Ren Baqian saw Lin Yue several times. She always had a pensive look on her face, and there was no telling what she was thinking about.

He somehow suspected that she was thinking about the dinner from yesterday or the day before.

This expert seemed to have some problems with her head.

Just before they arrived at Lan City, Lin Yue suddenly looked for Ren Baqian and said, “Let me ask you something!”

“What is it?”

“After seeing your treasure and hearing so many secrets, am I stuck on your pirate ship (TLC. Not sure about this term.) ?” She seemed to be at a loss.

Ren Baqian looked at her. Was this what she had been thinking about these last few days?

She finally figured it out?

He gave a kind smile and replied, “What do you think?”

Lin Yue looked at him, lowered her head, and pondered. She looked up at him, lowered her head again, and nodded, saying, “Yeah!”

She then ran away and continued to rack her brains.

Ren Baqian was also deep in thought.

He was thinking hard about what her head was made of.

Since there were countless types of people and experts, it wasn’t strange to meet such brainless people.

Although not strange, most people couldn’t believe it!

Who would believe that the twentieth most powerful expert in the world was like this?

Ren Baqian somewhat wondered whether Lin Yue could possibly have suffered brain damage during her training.

He could only wait for the Rearguard Commandery to send people to check on her and hopefully gather some information.

Arriving in Lan City after a few days of travel, everyone went straight to the palace.

Qin Chuan and the rest followed. The officials who had stayed behind in Lan City came as well.

There were a total of 40 Cardinal Heaven experts, and this startled those top experts a bit.

Although there were many top experts in Great Xia, they did not cooperate with one another. There were only three Spirit Wheel experts in Great Xia’s imperial court and possibly a few hidden ones in the palace. They were extremely low in numbers.

However, it was different in Dayao.

With the empress as the leader, there were at least 50 Cardinal Heaven experts in the imperial court. It could be said that there was nowhere else in the known world that could match up to such power.

On the way back to the palace, Ren Baqian noticed something unusual.

“Notify people to set up a banquet in Zichen Palace Hall tonight,” the empress ordered after entering the palace.

Ren Baqian pulled Xin Zhe aside and asked, “Have you caught that person?”

“I can’t hear you, Your Highness!” She looked a little distressed.

“I said, have you caught that person?” Ren Baqian had to raise his voice.

“What?”

“I said, have you caught that person?!” He raised his voice again and caused everyone in the distance to look over.

“Caught him!” Xin Zhe finally heard what he was saying.

“Dead or alive?!” Ren Baqian shouted.

“His internal organs are shattered!” Xin Zhe exclaimed.

Everyone’s expressions immediately grew subtle.

They didn’t expect it to be so scary when voices got so loud.

Besides, half the people in the palace hadn’t been hearing very well these days…

Ren Baqian nodded. The roaring emperor and the sound amplification equipment really complemented each other.

“I’ll take you to go for a hearing test in the next few days!”

“What?”

“It’s nothing.” Ren Baqian waved his hand.

“Zhao Prince Consort…” Great Elder Shi Qing put on a fake smile as he walked over. “I’m old, so I can’t withstand such a big blow and almost died because of you. Besides, all the glass in my house broke! What is with this matter? I spent a lot of money at the royal glass shop!”

“I’ll compensate you!” Ren Baqian laughed. “I’ll change your windows to glass!”

The result of the fight was a little unexpected for Ren Baqian.

Xin Shuai had died and the power of sound was greater than Ren Baqian had anticipated, but he wasn’t that surprised either.

However, the glass had shattered in many of the elders’ homes that surrounded the palace. This showed that the area of effect was larger than expected.

Needless to say, the glass in the palace had definitely shattered as well!

Ren Baqian cast these matters aside and took the experts to the underground palace.

When the crowd snapped out of the illusion, all of them remained silent, but the shock in their eyes couldn’t be concealed.

They were utterly astonished by what they had seen!

They were the top experts of the world, but after seeing that illusion, they knew how big the gap was between them and the experts of the past.

As Li Fu said, the experts of ancient times greatly exceeded their own!

In comparison, modern experts were equivalent to the Earth Wheel level at best.

Their hearts subsequently grew even more fervent.

If the experts there were so powerful, would they also have the opportunity to reach the level that they saw in the illusion if they headed into the mountains?

Even Lin Dong, who was pretty calm before he arrived, had a flash of excitement in his eyes.

Ren Baqian looked at everyone’s expressions and smiled.

As he was much weaker, he saw much less of the illusion compared to the rest and didn’t get to see the great battle at the end.

However, he had heard about it from the empress.

Seeing everyone’s expressions, he knew what they were thinking about.
