Qingyang Town Lin Family

Next Morning, just as dawn broke and Lin City began to stir, in the front courtyard of the Lin Clan, Lin Ke'er and the others were already prepared.

So when Lin Langtian arrived, the five of them were fully geared up and ready to depart.

"Brother Langtian, you're here. We're all ready. We'll set off as soon as you give the word."

Lin Ke'er's Azure beautiful eyes gazed at the handsome youth approaching, and she smiled sweetly.

Beside her, Lin Chen and the other four also looked expectantly at Lin Langtian. Their destination was the Imperial Capital, the royal capital of the Great Yan Dynasty. Even as members of the Lin Clan, they felt a considerable sense of anticipation.

"Heh heh, since you're all ready, let's hit the road," Lin Langtian sighed inwardly at the five burdens before him, but he said with a light smile.

"Alright, Brother Langtian. This is the Black Scale Horse the clan prepared for us. With it, we should reach the Imperial Capital in less than ten days."

Lin Chen led a magnificent horse covered in black scales and handed it to Lin Langtian.

Taking the reins of the Black Scale Horse, Lin Langtian patted its head. As if sensing its master's powerful aura, the usually untamed horse became surprisingly docile.

The Black Scale Horse was a breed specially raised by the Lin Clan. Its distinguishing feature was its body covered in black scales resembling fish scales. It could travel thousands of miles a day, making it excellent for travel.

However, now that he was an expert in the Shaping Realm, he could already manifest Essence. If he used Essence to transform into a giant eagle, he could even fly.

But this method consumed too much Essence, and with Lin Ke'er and the other five young members of the clan beside him, the Black Scale Horse was a good means of transportation.

"Since everything is ready, let's depart," Lin Langtian leaped onto the Black Scale Horse, flicked his whip, and the horse turned, galloping towards the outskirts of Lin City.

"Yes," Lin Chen and the others nodded, then mounted their own Black Scale Horses and quickly followed Lin Langtian.

The Imperial City, the most noble city in the Great Yan Dynasty. Setting aside the ethereal Super Sects, at least on the surface, the Imperial Family was the universally acknowledged ruler of the Great Yan Dynasty.

And the Imperial City was naturally the most magnificent and majestic existence in the dynasty!

The Imperial City was located to the east of Great Yan Commandery, directly facing Lin City from afar. Although Lin City was said to be similar in scale to the Imperial City, in some respects, it was still inferior to the Imperial City.

After all, no matter what, the Lin Clan still maintained some deference towards the ruler of the Great Yan Dynasty. Only wise clans could truly endure.

However, whether it was the Imperial Family, the Lin Clan, the other Three Great Clans, or the Great Sects that held significant influence in the Great Yan Dynasty, they all held great goodwill towards the impending arrival of Ling Qingzhu.

This was because they knew that in the vast Eastern Xuan Region, countries like the Great Yan Empire were as numerous as grains of sand. Only the Super Sects were the true rulers.

And Ling Qingzhu, as a disciple of a Super Sect, was like a royal noble visiting the countryside, making her seem unattainable and causing them to feel flattered and overwhelmed.

Although Lin City was not far from the Imperial City, and it would only take two or three days to arrive at a normal speed, with a group of young people together, it was impossible to simply travel in a monotonous manner.

Therefore, after traveling and sightseeing along the way, it had been more than half a month by the time Lin Langtian and his group arrived at the Imperial City.

Fortunately, the welcoming ceremony prepared by the Imperial Family for Ling Qingzhu was a month later, otherwise, they would have been late.

The colossal Imperial City stood silently on the plains, exuding a heart-palpitating aura like an ancient beast under the twilight sky.

The city walls were incredibly tall and majestic, stretching to the horizon, their ends still unseen, revealing the terrifying scale of the Imperial City.

Lin Langtian and the others dismounted their Black Scale Horses a short distance from the Imperial City, holding the reins and slowly walking towards it.

Riding horses within the Imperial City was strictly forbidden by the Imperial Family's laws. Even as members of the Lin Clan, Lin Langtian and the others could not openly violate this rule.

Otherwise, it would be considered a provocation to the Imperial Family.

Although they were still some distance from the Imperial City, the roads, which extended in all directions, were bustling with people, appearing extremely lively. This level of activity was no weaker than that of Lin City.

"As expected of the Imperial Capital, truly prosperous."

Lin Ke'er and the others couldn't help but sigh as they gazed at the magnificent city.

"Heh, no matter what, this is the Imperial Family's direct territory, so it naturally needs to display the grandeur of the Imperial Clan," Lin Langtian said with a slight smile, gazing into the distance.

As his voice fell, Lin Langtian began walking towards the Imperial City at an unhurried pace.

Seeing this, Lin Ke'er and the others quickly followed.

At the city gate, although the gate was exceptionally wide, the massive flow of people still made the area extremely crowded.

However, when Lin Chen produced a Golden Token engraved with the character 'Lin', the guarding soldier's expression faltered. He immediately respectfully let them pass.

Lin – this was one of the Great Yan Empire's Four Great Clans. Even the Imperial Family treated them with great importance.

He, a mere city guard, naturally could not afford to offend such important figures.

Thus, in just a short moment, Lin Langtian and his group smoothly entered the colossal city.

Spectacular, magnificent.

Upon entering the city, Lin Langtian's gaze swept across the endless array of buildings, causing him to raise an eyebrow slightly. Such a vast city was practically a small nation.

From this, one could see that the Imperial Family was indeed the foremost power in the Great Yan Empire.

This Imperial Capital fully showcased the Imperial Family's Foundation.

Standing on the bustling, noisy street, Lin Langtian did not marvel for long before merging into the crowd.

Within the Imperial Capital, his Lin Family naturally had its own place to stay. After all, as one of the Four Great Clans, they possessed such a Foundation.

After navigating through several streets, Lin Langtian looked at the large characters "Lin Mansion" above the entrance and signaled Lin Chen to knock.

A moment later, a middle-aged man in yellow robes emerged. His face, initially showing displeasure at being disturbed, immediately broke into a fawning smile upon seeing Lin Langtian.

"So it's the Law Enforcement Elder. We received news days ago that you would be gracing us with your presence. We've finally been waiting for you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian nodded slightly. He had been traveling for several days and had now reached his destination. The first thing he needed to do was to rest.

Next, he would inquire about Ling Qingzhu and the Imperial Family Auction...

The story splits into two threads, each to be told separately.

At the same time Lin Langtian arrived at the Imperial Capital, ten thousand miles away from Great Yan Commandery, in Yan City, Tiandu Commandery.

Qingyang Town, Lin Family.

Outside the main gate of the Lin Family, a gray-robed old man, dusty from his travels, looked at the Lin Family Branch clan members coming and going and chuckled softly.

"Old friend, your Qingyang Town Lin Family's good fortune is about to arrive..."
