Six days later, it had been a month since Lu Xunhuan arrived at Qingfeng Sect.

He finally walked out of the cloud cliff and finally saw the light of day.

Elder Yun took him and headed straight for the mountain gate.

At the mountain gate, the fat figure of Elder He from Feixian Sect had been waiting for a long time.

He saw Lu Xunhuan and a smile appeared on his face: "A month has passed so long. We finally meet again."

Lu Xun Huan asked, "Are you here to take me to Feixianmen?"

Elder He replied, "Of course, what else?"

Lu Xunhuan asked again: "Leave now?"

Elder He seemed to be afraid that he would not go, and hurried forward to hold him back: "Of course, what else?"

Lu Xunhuan said, "Wait, Qingfeng Sect owes me something."

He turned around and asked Elder Yun, "Didn't you say that after a month, you would give me an eighth-level immortal sword?"

Elder Yun stroked his beard and said, "Our sect's weapon master is working day and night to make it for you. You can go to Feixian Sect and stay there for a month. When you come back next month, you will have it."

Lu Xunhuan really wanted to curse. He was lying and even tricking children.

He shook his head: "For a great sect like you to break your promise and take advantage of others for free, that's too much."

He turned around and said to Elder He, "Since the Qingfeng Sect has broken its promise, I'm sorry, I don't trust you. I won't be going to Feixian Sect."

Elder He raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, this is not up to you. Let's go..."

He grabbed Lu Xunhuan, unfolded his magic weapon, and was about to leave.

But at this time, among the mountains and valleys, two people were riding on magic weapons, crossing the sea of ​​clouds, as if riding on the clouds.

Elder Yun stroked his beard and said, "Why is there someone coming to the palace?"

A moment later, the two men landed at the mountain gate with their magic weapons.

One of the elders bowed to the two elders: "Elder Yun, Elder He."

Elder He asked, "Yue Yang, what important matter is there in the palace that requires the assistance of our two great sects?"

Yue Yang said, "Replying to Elder He, we are here on the orders of the Sixth Prince to invite Captain Lu to Kyoto City. There is a serious case that needs to be investigated."

Elder He immediately shouted, "What? He helped forty disciples of the Qingfeng Sect, but hasn't helped a single person from the Feixian Sect yet. How can he go to Kyoto City at this time? No, no, let's talk about it in a month."

Yue Yang chuckled: "Haha, Elder He, aren't you going to give the prince face? Besides, the case is serious and there is no time to delay."

Elder He complained, "Why is it that when it's his turn to come to us, he already caused trouble? You should at least let me take him back and explain to the Sect Leader, otherwise I won't be able to report back."

Yue Yang said, "Elder He, the Sixth Prince really did summon him for an urgent matter. He's not just a cultivator, he's also the Commander-in-Chief of the Left Battalion of the Zhongzhou City Garrison. You've imprisoned him, which is tantamount to detaining a member of the military. He's a Commander-in-Chief now, and you don't take him seriously. What if he becomes a general in the future? Will you detain him too?"

Elder He argued, "That's not the truth. Our two major sects invited him here, and now the Qingfeng Sect is taking advantage. It's our turn to just stare blankly. This isn't fair."

Yue Yang said, "Elder He, if you want him to help your disciples, you can take them to Zhongzhou City. That way, both sides won't be delayed. Wouldn't that be better?"

Elder He touched his fat chin: "This..."

Yue Yang continued, "After the prince reported his training methods to His Majesty, His Majesty praised them highly and even hoped that he would build an iron army for our southern border defense. You..."

He shook his head.

Elder He pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, at worst I can have my disciples go to Zhongzhou City and wait for him."

Yue Yang bowed and said, "Thank you, Elder He, for your understanding. Now, we'll take the person with us. We'll see you later."

He bowed to Elder Yun again and said, "Elder Yun, we will meet again later."

As the two elders watched, Lu Xunhuan crossed the picturesque mountains of Qingfeng Sect and headed east.

After walking about a hundred miles, he asked Yue Yang, "Excuse me, where are you working in Kyoto?"

Yue Yang replied, "It's not a big job, I just run errands for the prince."

Lu Xun Huan said "Oh" and said, "Then why didn't the prince see you when he went to Zhongzhou City last time?"

Yue Yang said, "I just happened to be on a mission. Besides, I'm running errands for the prince, not a personal bodyguard."

Lu Xun Huan nodded slightly: "Alright, got it. Thank you for coming to rescue me, Senior. Let's say goodbye now. I'm going back to Zhongzhou City."

Yue Yang said, "Captain Lu, don't worry. The prince wants to see you because he really has something important to tell you."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "What's the matter?"

Yue Yang replied, "I don't know what it is specifically about. You haven't been to Kyoto yet, right? Don't you want to go and take a look?"

Lu Xunhuan smiled and said, "Then go ahead."

Qingfeng was sent to Kyoto City and headed east, a distance of only eight hundred miles.

The two of them took Lu Xunhuan and flew at a leisurely pace, arriving in Kyoto City in the afternoon.

When the magic weapon passed the high mountain barrier to the west of Kyoto City, what appeared before Lu Xunhuan was a vast plain. On the plain, a huge city rose from the ground.

Outside the city gate, a wide road leads straight into the distance.

To the west of the city, there is a wide river flowing from the north to the south.

On the river, dozens of tall shipyards were lying across the water, arranged in three rows along the water. Each row was connected by a wide, liftable wooden bridge, extending from the shore all the way to the city gate.

The two men took Lu Xunhuan and did not fly directly across the river, but landed on the west bank of the river.

Yue Yang said to Lu Xunhuan, "When immortals visit Kyoto, they must land outside the city and enter through the city gate. If they rashly fly over the city walls, they will be attacked by crossbowmen."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "That's reasonable."

The three of them followed the crowd heading towards the west city, gradually walked to the shore, and boarded the huge wooden bridge.

Yue Yang said, "The wooden bridge is lowered at 3:00 pm every day and retracted at 4:00 pm. Each time it is lowered or retracted, it requires 32 soldiers to operate the capstan."

Lu Xun Huan nodded again. "It's a massive project, and quite spectacular, but it can be improved. We can try to make it so that only one soldier can pull up the wooden bridge."

Yue Yang was surprised and said, "A large wooden bridge deck weighs more than ten thousand pounds. How can one person pull it?"

Lu Xunhuan didn't answer and just followed the crowd towards the city gate.

When the three of them arrived at the city gate, a sergeant on guard saluted Yue Yang and said, "Master Yue, are you back from another business trip?"

Yue Yang replied: "Yes, yes, I have something else to do, so I won't nag you anymore."

When Lu Xunhuan entered the city from the west gate, what he saw was a bustling traffic, huge crowds of people, high-rise buildings lined up one after another, and shops one after another.

It truly is worthy of being the capital of the Zhou Dynasty Empire. It is lively, prosperous and grand.

After entering the city, Yue Yang did not delay and took Lu Xunhuan straight to the Sixth Prince's mansion.

At that time, Lu Xunhuan was imprisoned in a cave on the Yunya Cliff of Qingfeng Sect. He initially thought that the Zhongzhou government would send someone to ask Qingfeng Sect for his release.

But he waited and waited, but there was no movement. He knew that people from Zhongzhou Prefecture were not of high enough rank, and even if they went to Qingfeng Sect, they might not even pay attention to them.

In order to escape, he specifically asked Qingdai to come and go to Kyoto City to find the Sixth Prince to save him.

Moreover, the time when he asked the Sixth Prince to send someone over happened to be when he had been in Qingfeng Sect for a month. In this way, Qingfeng Sect had just handed over the person and it would be inappropriate to keep him any longer.

As for the Feixian Sect, it would be easier to snatch it from them before the people take it over.

He originally thought that after someone rescued him, he would be allowed to return to Zhongzhou City, but he didn't expect that the Sixth Prince would ask him to go to Kyoto City.

By the time Lu Xunhuan met the Sixth Prince, the lights in Kyoto City were already on.

The Sixth Prince received him in the study: "Xun Huan, when I learned that you were imprisoned by the Qingfeng Sect, I immediately sent people to rescue you. After you return, make the most of your time to train your troops. Recently, news has come from the Southern Liang Kingdom that things seem to be going on unrest there."

Lu Xunhuan saluted: "Yes, Your Majesty."

The Sixth Prince continued, "You will stay in my palace tonight. Tomorrow morning, someone will go to Zhongzhou with you to learn training methods from you and then pass them on to the entire army."

He patted Lu Xunhuan on the shoulder and said, "This is His Majesty's will. Work hard. This prince has high hopes for you."
