My wife is a practitioner, I am invincible when I lie down

The next morning.

Facing the rising sun, Zhao Mu boarded the Purple Gold Gourd and left the Zhao family with the farewell of several ladies.

This time when he goes to Zhongzhou, Zhao Mu plans to act alone.

The main reason was that Zhao Mu didn’t know how long he would be away, and he was afraid that it would delay the ladies’ training plans.

At the same time, Zhao Mu also wanted to experience the feeling of traveling alone and roaming the world with a sword.

Even the star cluster was left in Sky City by Zhao Mu.

According to Xuanyuan Yada, the golden runes absorbed by the star cluster in the tomb of the ancestor of mankind were part of the power left by Emperor Xuanyuan.

It will take at least several months for the star cluster to completely digest this part of the power, so it will be of no use during this period and there is no need for it to follow Zhao Mu on the expedition.

A moment later, Zhao Mu came to the Zhao family's teleportation formation and was teleported to the Jiang family.

Only the Jiang family has a teleportation array to Zhongzhou, so Zhao Mu needs to transfer at the Jiang family.

In fact, he also considered flying directly to Zhongzhou, where he could enjoy the scenery along the way and experience the feeling of a long journey.

However, after some research, I realized that the distance from the Southern Region to the Central Plains is tens of millions of miles.

If you fly hard, even if you travel a million miles a day, it will still take more than ten days.

Zhao Mu thought about it and decided it was okay.

It takes too much time.

If you use the teleportation array, you can directly reach the Qianyuan Dynasty, which is quite convenient.

After arriving at the Jiang family, Zhao Mu did not alarm anyone. He directly spent a high price to rent a teleportation array and started his journey.

Half an hour later.

Zhongzhou.

Qianyuan Dynasty, the southernmost Anding County.

The Qianyuan Dynasty had a very large territory, divided into nine counties and thirty-six states, and the size of each county was far larger than that of the Zhao family.

At this moment, Zhao Mu was in Anzhou, the largest city-state in Anding County.

Zhao Mu found Anzhou's prosperity incredible.

The size of the city alone is more than ten times larger than Tangding City.

It feels like this city-state is big enough to accommodate hundreds of millions of people.

The roads in the city are wide, pedestrians and vehicles are in an orderly manner, there are even some high-rise buildings, and the population is very dense.

Various formation facilities can be seen everywhere.

Even though small teleportation arrays are scattered throughout the streets, local people can even use them for free and travel freely to various places in the city.

There are also many kinds of shops on both sides of the street, and you can see all kinds of strange goods.

There are also rich and varied types of food. When Zhao Mu walked into a snack street, he was immediately attracted by the aroma wafting over.

Zhao Mu suddenly felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

You must know that Anzhou is just a city-state in the border area of ​​the Qianyuan Dynasty.

If he went to the imperial capital, Zhao Mu couldn't imagine how prosperous it would be.

"No wonder they say the Four Regions are all poor and remote. I thought it was an exaggeration, but now it seems to be true."

Zhongzhou is the core of the Holy Spirit Continent. In the eyes of the Zhongzhou Dynasty, the four imperial clans are probably just some native gentry who are not worthy of being in the upper class.

However, Zhao Mu was a time traveler after all, and after the initial surprise, he quickly regained his composure.

Although this place is prosperous, the number and strength of warriors are not obviously much higher than those in the Southern Region.

Emperor-level strongmen are still very rare.

In this vast Anzhou, Zhao Mu only sensed the aura of less than ten warriors with the cultivation level of Saint Emperor, which was completely within his expectations.

Zhao Mu wandered around Anzhou for a while and found a restaurant to have lunch.

The dishes were indeed very exquisite, but the taste was light and not suitable for Zhao Mu, who had a strong palate.

After eating and drinking, Zhao Mu took out the video mirror and sent a message to Ju Jinhua, telling her that he had arrived in the Qianyuan Dynasty and was settling in Anzhou.

Ju Jinhua replied quickly.

"Master, please wait a moment. I will send someone to pick you up right away."

After about a few minutes, the aura of a powerful Saint Emperor suddenly descended outside the restaurant.

The visitor was a heroic woman wearing red soft armor, over 1.8 meters tall.

The woman's appearance made the originally bustling restaurant quiet down instantly.

Everyone was stunned.

In an instant, all the diners, including the restaurant owner, knelt down and bowed to the woman.

"Greetings to the Lord City Lord!!"

Seeing Zhao Mu still sitting calmly, the waiter beside him hurriedly whispered, "Sir, kneel down quickly. This is the mayor of Anzhou. Refusing to bow before the mayor is a serious crime punishable by death!"

"Not always."

Zhao Mu chuckled.

He probably guessed that this female city lord was sent by Ju Jinhua to pick him up.

Seeing the city lord walking straight towards this side, the waiter scratched his head anxiously and was so frightened that he wanted to put his head into the ground.

It’s over, it’s over, I’m done for.

Unexpectedly, the next second, the female city lord walked up to Zhao Mu and bowed: "Lord of Anzhou, please be quiet and greet Master Zhao."

"Quiet, nice name."

Zhao Mu nodded slightly, drank the last glass of fruit wine, stood up and walked out of the restaurant.

An Jing followed with a solemn expression.

It was not until the two disappeared outside the restaurant that the people in the restaurant came to their senses. They looked at each other for a moment, and everyone had an expression of astonishment and surprise on their faces.

That is the almighty city lord.

But she was so humble in front of the young man.

What a personage this young man is!

Could it be some prince or nobleman?

City Lord's Mansion.

Zhao Mu glanced at the female city lord standing in front of him.

"An Jing: 39 years old, eighth level of the Holy Emperor Realm, one-quarter demon blood, member of the Rose Society."

"Rose Society? What is it?" Zhao Mu asked curiously.

When An Jing heard Zhao Mu mention the Rose Club, she was slightly startled, but she soon felt relieved.

This person was the one that the Witch Lady specifically asked her to receive well. He must have a special relationship with the Witch Lady, so it was natural that he knew about the Rose Society.

"Reporting to Master Zhao, the Rose Society is a guild founded by the Witch Lady. They specifically take in half-demon descendants like us with demon blood, provide us with resources, and help us integrate into human society. Currently, the Rose Society has a total of 376 members, spread across the entire Qianyuan Dynasty, and most of them hold high positions. With our mutual support, the Rose Society's influence is growing, enough to affect the operation of the entire dynasty."

It turned out to be the case.

Ju Jinhua is still somewhat capable. Even if Prince Li San fails to ascend to the throne, she will probably be able to live a comfortable life in the Qianyuan Dynasty with her strength and means.

Now that Ju Jinhua is the queen and is ruling the country from behind the scenes, she has even greater power.

If she is allowed to run the business for a few more years, perhaps the entire Qianyuan Dynasty will fall under her control.

"With the demonic forces infiltrating the human empire like this, aren't you afraid of backlash?" Zhao Mu asked with a frown.

From his point of view, he certainly doesn't mind Rose growing stronger.

But there are quite a few strong people in the human race. If they knew the existence of the Rose Society, they probably wouldn't let it go.

"To join the Rose Society, we need to gain the approval of the Witch-sama and be branded with a spiritual mark by the Witch-sama, prohibiting us from betraying her forever. Moreover, the Witch-sama has special methods that can help us hide the demon blood in our bodies. In addition, the Rose Society acts in a secretive manner, making it basically impossible for outsiders to discover it."

"That's pretty good. She's smart."

Zhao Mu nodded.
