On the other side.
Qin Mingqi pointed to the cultivators Path Opening ahead and said with a smile:
"These are all the personal guards assigned to me by my Father Emperor. Even the lowest-ranking one has reached the Heaven-Grasping Realm."
"If you need anything in the capital in the future, just use my token to call in people."
As she spoke, she handed another spirit fruit to Ye Li, biting her lip lightly as she said:
"Here, take this. I just tasted it; it's quite sweet."
Ye Li didn't accept the offer, but simply gave a casual reply.
Qin Mingqi didn't seem to mind at all, and instead sat closer to him, speaking as if it were a casual chat:
"The Old Bai next to me is also True Person. He usually only takes care of my affairs, but if you need help, I can let him go out with you."
"Furthermore, my Father Emperor previously stated that after I get married, I can choose three fiefdoms myself."
She looked up at Ye Li, her smile growing even wider:
"Ye Li, what kind of place do you like?"
"I quite like your Divine Dynasty."
Ye Li picked up his teacup and replied calmly.
This was already the umpteenth time the other person had brought up marriage along the way.
Anyone who didn't know better would think they signed a marriage certificate yesterday.
"Oh, tell me something specific..."
Qin Mingqi grabbed Ye Li's arm again, pretending to be stubborn as she pulled him closer to her.
Ye Li suppressed the urge to hit someone and slowly drank the tea in his palm.
Qin Baiyi's parents will be released tonight.
Now that both parties have signed a contract, the person can be taken away once the contract is completed today.
Although he had other ways to save people from dire straits, choosing the safest method at this stage was never a bad thing.
"A place with pretty snow scenery."
"You like snow..."
Qin Mingqi chuckled softly, her mood becoming increasingly pleasant.
Ye Li was willing to come out with her and listen to her talk about these things, and he did not refuse her outright.
She's not as difficult to get along with as the rumors suggest!
If she can use this photo to frame the man and get him to sign a marriage contract, and then manipulate the contract, she can rely on his power without taking any risks in the future!
Linze City.
As the royal Treasure Ship arrived.
Officials who had been waiting in the city for a long time came forward to greet them, bowing and saying:
"Welcome, Your Highness!"
Qin Mingqi waved casually and led Ye Li off the Treasure Ship.
The streets were lined with people who had come to welcome the emperor.
Armored soldiers blocked the nearby intersections, preventing bystanders from moving around freely, and the shops that were originally open also temporarily suspended their business.
"Your Highness, this way please."
The Linze City, all smiles, personally led the way.
There are many arrangements to follow.
First came the special ceremony, followed by a large-scale lake tour. Several noble families in the city had prepared gifts in advance, waiting to present them to the princess.
Qin Mingqi clearly liked these.
Wherever they went, he would pull Ye Li aside to give a presentation, and occasionally ask for his opinion.
Ye Li responded casually, but his gaze gradually fell on the street, his thoughts churning.
There are so many notices along the way.
You can see them at almost every intersection; they still bear the royal Law Seal.
Residents of Linze are temporarily prohibited from relocating.
Anyone who leaves the city without authorization will be treated as a deserter and executed without exception!
Not only that.
The armored soldiers stationed in various places mostly focused their attention on the people in the city.
Occasionally, someone who tries to leave the long street will be immediately questioned.
What does this mean?
Arriving in front of a tall building overlooking the water, Ye Li finally asked casually.
Qin Mingqi followed his gaze and, without hiding anything, explained:
"To catch that silver lion I mentioned."
"It is very cautious; it will not come to places with many cultivators, nor will it look down on empty cities."
"After the news spread, many people in the city wanted to move out of the city, so I had no choice but to let them stay for now."
"..."
Ye Li looked at her.
Qin Mingqi, however, was still talking enthusiastically:
"Old Bai has already set up Array Formation here. As long as it dares to show itself again, we can trap it."
"However, capturing them alive is far more Trouble than killing them."
"I've tried several times before, but it always escaped. This time, I'm definitely going to catch it!"
Ye Li pondered for a moment, then asked:
"So you're just going to leave people here and wait for it to come and eat?"
"Yes."
Qin Mingqi's answer was quite surprising:
"If everyone leaves, why would it come back?"
The Linze City beside him nodded in deep agreement.
Ye Li glanced at him and continued to ask:
How many people have died already?
"This... I don't remember."
Qin Mingqi frowned slightly, seemingly not quite understanding why he cared about these things.
But soon, she smiled again:
"Once they're caught, they naturally won't eat people anymore."
"Didn't I tell you yesterday? This silver lion will be our mount from now on."
"If you like it, you can take it back to the Supreme Clarity Palace first."
As she said this, there was still a hint of reluctance in her voice.
This is the Fortune-Mastery Demon King I've been eyeing for a long time.
Now that she's willing to give it to Ye Li, he should understand how much she values this friendship, right?
"... I see."
Ye Li stared at her for a moment, then suddenly chuckled softly.
Qin Mingqi felt a slight joy at being looked at like that, and was about to say something more.
A deafening roar of a lion echoed from the distant city!
"Roar!!!"
A massive burst of silver light tore through the void!
A Great Demon lion emerged from the sky high above the west of the city.
Its brow was adorned with a gleaming golden pattern, and ripples constantly spread through the space beneath its four feet.
Those demonic eyes swept across the city, then locked onto the crowd gathered outside!
"They're here!!"
Qin Mingqi immediately stood up, her expression full of anticipation!
Countless gasps of alarm echoed through the city.
Several armored soldiers who were maintaining order looked up, their expressions changed drastically, and they hastily activated their Formation Banner!
"Don't run around!"
"Stay where you are!"
The crowd was no longer listening.
They still remember those who died when the Silver Lion came before!
"You beast!!"
Bai Jingshan's figure had already soared into the sky!
A golden banner unfurled in the wind, from which countless Dao Patterns descended, sealing off the void surrounding the silver lion!
Another black-robed retainer attacked at the same time.
The array bases that had been buried in the city lit up one after another, forming several thick chains that wrapped around the silver lion's limbs!
"Let's see where you run this time!"
Two overwhelming pressures from the Fortune-Mastery Realm were unleashed simultaneously!
"I knew you had an ambush!"
Upon seeing this, the Silver Lion Demon King let out a mocking sneer. The demonic light around him surged in the wind, and he stomped his four feet on the void, trying to escape by force!
The methods of the two Fortune-Mastery could not affect its form at all!
Stepping through the air without a trace, silver pierces the heavens!
This is the innate divine Divine Ability the Sky-Treading Silver Lion is so proud of!!
But right now.
A bolt of Golden Thunderbolt suddenly shot into the sky from the city tower!
The thick protective array of light outside the building was violently smashed open!
Just as Bai Jingshan was about to activate the golden banner, he saw a figure in Green Robe pass by him in the Golden Thunderbolt and arrive in front of the silver lion with lightning speed!
"Palace Heir Ye?!"
Boom!!!
A hand slammed down!
The rapidly distorted space around the Silver Lion Demon King was instantly flattened, and its massive demonic body trembled violently!
His enormous, demonic eyes were filled with astonishment!
This is... Dao Patterns Divine Ability at the Path Opening Realm?!
It turned its head in horror, not yet understanding why Path Opening Realm could subdue it, when the young man grabbed it by the neck and captured it in mid-air!
The vast Pure Qi swept across the sky like a storm, shattering the Divine Ability of the two Fortune-Mastery!
The Silver Lion Demon King unleashed a torrent of Demon Essence.
But he could never break free from that hand!
"Amazing!"
Qin Mingqi's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but take two steps forward!
The opponent's achievements were ultimately just hearsay.
Now that I've witnessed Ye Li's actions firsthand, I realize just how astonishing his methods truly are!
The two retainers went to so much trouble to capture the Silver Lion alive, yet he actually managed to take him down so easily?!
"Ye Li, bring it down quickly, let me have a good feel for it!"
Qin Mingqi's words, filled with surprise and joy, had not yet been finished.
The young man high in the sky suddenly clenched his fists!
Bang!!!
The Silver Lion Demon King's neck snapped instantly!
The Great Demon body, still struggling, was pierced directly by the surging Pure Qi and then engulfed by the rising crimson-gold Divine Fire!
A tremendous scream echoed through Linze City, startling the millions of cultivators who were standing in the city!
[Publicly annihilated the Silver Lion Demon King, a being comparable to the late stage of the third level of the Fortune-Mastery Realm! Malice Points +!!]
Demonic Blood rained down upon the earth!
"..."
Qin Mingqi's smile stiffened slightly.
The silver lion she had been eyeing for so long was slain by Ye Li right before everyone's eyes!
The stark contrast between the two forced Qin Mingqi to look up in shock and anger, and she demanded:
"You...!!
"Ye Li! What do you mean by this?!"
Bai Jingshan's heart sank suddenly; he had already sensed that something was wrong!
"Your Highness, be careful!"
But the golden light was faster than his reaction!
Just as another worshipper was about to step forward, he was blasted backward by the overwhelming blood energy coming towards him!
The next moment!
Ye Li had already bypassed his obstruction and appeared directly in front of Qin Mingqi!
Qin Baiqi's body shone with the brilliance of Magic Treasure, and he stammered, "..."
What do you want to do?
Boom!!!
Ye Li shattered Qin Baiqi's defensive Magic Treasure with a single palm strike, and then his five fingers landed on Qin Baiqi's face!
A deafening roar filled the air!
Qin Mingqi was sent flying, his figure turning into a black shadow in the air, smashing through the heavy city gate and crashing heavily onto the long street!
The surroundings fell into absolute silence!
"Playing house, falling in love, catching mounts..."
"You wild dogs of the Longwind Divine Dynasty are really troublesome."
The young man's Golden Eyes shone brightly at that moment, and his icy voice boomed throughout the place, shaking the mountains!
He's clearly had enough of all this red tape!
Before he could finish speaking...
A boundless aura of bloodlust, along with Killing Intent, swept across the entire Linze City!
Under the gaze of countless horrified eyes, the sky, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, seemed to be dyed a shocking blood red!
