Return to the Great Qian Dynasty

After Song Zhong killed Wei Yangqiu, he briefly dealt with the scene, took the other man's Universe Ring, then turned and flew into the distance.

His problem now was that he did not know exactly where he was. He needed to find someone and ask.

This place was truly remote. With his current cultivation, he flew for two hours before finally seeing a city ahead.

"A city. It feels like it has been a long time since I entered one and saw ordinary people."

Song Zhong moved and flew directly toward the tallest tower in the city.

At the top of the tower.

An elderly man with graying hair sat atop the tower, speaking to a young man and woman behind him. "The reason I did not let you take the assessment this year is that the assessments are too dangerous now.

"During Xingyi Sect's assessment last year, who knew how many so-called geniuses died in it.

"Wait until next year, when your strength has improved further. Then it will be safer for you to take the assessment.

"I do not expect you to be like the peerless Heavenly Prodigy Song Zhong and enter the Hundred Peaks Sect.

"I will be satisfied if you can enter one of the sects in our Great Qian Dynasty."

Behind him, the little girl said with a face full of longing, "I wonder what the Hundred Peaks Sect is really like. I still have one year. Perhaps I can enter the Hundred Peaks Sect."

"Hard. Entering the Hundred Peaks Sect is as hard as climbing to heaven. In recent years, only two people from the Great Qian Dynasty—the Song Family's two members—have entered the Hundred Peaks Sect."

As he spoke, he could not help sighing. "The Song Family was clearly just a family from a small city in some remote place, yet it produced two Heavenly Prodigies."

As the old man spoke, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked up into the sky.

The next moment, a figure flew down from the air and landed atop the tower.

The old man was immediately shocked. What speed! From the moment he saw the other man, in the blink of an eye, the man had already flown over.

Those in the Immortal Bridge Realm could fly, but he had seen Immortal Bridge Realm experts in flight before. Their speed had never been this fast.

Could this be a Star River Realm expert?

Startled, the old man hurriedly bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Senior."

Although his cultivation was not high, because this place was close to a certain legendary exit, some powerful immortals would occasionally pass through here. However, not many descended directly from the sky.

Song Zhong's face immediately darkened. You call me Senior? Am I that old?

He looked around and asked, "What place is this?"

The old man was slightly startled. You flew here, yet you did not know where this was?

Though puzzled, he still answered respectfully, "In reply to Senior, this is Linzi City."

"No, where is Linzi City?" Song Zhong was speechless. You tell me the name of a city—how am I supposed to know where that is?

The old man seemed to notice his displeasure and became even more respectful. "In reply to Senior, Linzi City belongs to Eastern Administration Province."

Song Zhong was truly impressed. You tell me the name of a province—how am I supposed to know where that is? You should just—

Wait...

Why did Eastern Administration Province sound so familiar?

"Does Eastern Administration Province belong to the Great Qian Dynasty?" The only places that could sound familiar to him were places within the Great Qian Dynasty.

The old man nodded repeatedly. "In reply to Senior, it does indeed belong to the Great Qian Dynasty."

"Then the Eastern Barrens Province is... Forget it. Just tell me which direction the Eastern Barrens Province is in."

Since he was in the Great Qian Dynasty anyway, he might as well go back and take his parents and the others away.
