Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

The Celestial Realm, Qilan City.

Although the Guan family is far inferior to the Wu family in status and strength, it still has a certain influence and power.

Xu Hao killed two of the Guan family's prodigies in the selection competition. Even though he is about to represent Qilan City in the Hundred Cities War, the Guan family will not let him go.

However, when the Guan family arranged for people to get rid of Xu Hao quietly, they discovered that the kid had been hiding in the Yuelai Inn and wouldn't come out.

The Yuelai Inn has branches all over the Mingyue Immortal Dynasty, and its backing is as terrifying as that of the Ruyi Tower. Naturally, the Guan family dares not offend it.

Therefore, the Guan family's experts could only lie in wait near the Yuelai Inn, hoping Xu Hao would appear.

Unexpectedly, this wait lasted for a full four years.

In the past four years, Xu Hao has never even stepped out of his own room, let alone the inn.

They thought Xu Hao was in seclusion cultivating, but in reality, Xu Hao was training in Cangzhou.

Even if the Guan family were incredibly bold enough to force their way in, they still wouldn't find Xu Hao.

Over the past four years, Xu Hao's cultivation has improved once again, advancing from the first level of the Dharma Aspect Realm to the third level.

On the day he left Qilan City, Xu Hao walked out of the inn and met Jin Tianlu, who had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Wow, Brother Xu, you're really good at enduring hardship! You stayed in seclusion at the inn for four years before finally emerging! I'm truly impressed!!"

Jin Tianlu gave him a thumbs up. He thought Xu Hao would eventually come out halfway through, but he didn't expect him to stay in seclusion for four years.

Xu Hao casually replied, "It's only been four years. Even if I were to go into seclusion for forty years, it would be perfectly normal."

“That’s true,” Jin Tianlu affirmed.

It's quite normal for cultivators to go into seclusion for half a year or a year after reaching the Heavenly Palace Realm, let alone those at the Dharma Aspect Realm.

The two went to a restaurant to drink and reminisce.

Xu Hao asked, "Where is the Battle of a Hundred Cities taking place? In the capital?"

“Yes, in Zhentian City, the capital of the Mingyue Immortal Dynasty,” Jin Tianlu replied, a hint of longing in his expression.

After all, that was the largest and most prosperous city in the Immortal Dynasty. It was a place where true powerhouses gathered, and there were important figures everywhere. Even the powerful Wu family members had to behave themselves there.

Xu Hao took a sip of wine, pondered for a moment, and said, "I probably won't be coming back this time."

He has been in Qilan City for twenty-five years, and he has discovered all the business opportunities that can be found here.

As his cultivation level increases, he needs more resources, and therefore more business opportunities.

He had long planned to go to a larger city, but he hadn't had the right opportunity yet.

Now, he is going to participate in the Hundred Cities War with the city lord. No matter what the final outcome is, he will stay in Zhentian City.

Besides, having offended the Guan family, staying in Qilan City would mean living in constant fear and trepidation, which would be quite uncomfortable. It would be better to stay far away.

In a place like Zhentian City, the Guan family, with their strength, couldn't possibly eliminate Xu Hao silently.

Therefore, once you go to Zhentian City, you don't need to worry about retaliation from the Guan family at all.

"Snapped!!"

Jin Tianlu suddenly slapped his thigh.

“Great! I’ve also been planning to develop my career in Zhentian City. Although we can’t go together this time, we can meet up in Yuelai once we get there.”

Xu Hao was somewhat surprised and astonished.

"This couldn't be better."

He didn't understand why Jin Tianlu suddenly wanted to go to Zhentian City to develop, and he didn't have the intention to ask. After all, in a big city where he was unfamiliar with people and things, it would be good to have an acquaintance.

"Come on, bottoms up! See you in Zhentian City!" Jin Tianlu said, raising his glass.

Cheers!

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the two left the restaurant and parted ways.

Jin Tianlu went back to pack his things, while Xu Hao went to the city lord's mansion. Soon after, Wu Yuqi and the other three also arrived.

The only people who puzzled Xu Hao, besides Wu Yuqi, were the three others who looked at him strangely, unlike before.

Although they hid it well, Xu Hao still noticed something was off.

This made Xu Hao more vigilant and wary of the three of them.

After waiting for a while, Xu Hao finally met City Lord Liu of Qilan City. He was tall and had a warm smile, giving people a sense of approachability.

"Lord City Lord."

The five people quickly clasped their hands in greeting.

Lord Liu nodded with a smile, looking pleased.

"No need for formalities. Now that everything is ready, let's set off."

Although Qilan City was just an insignificant small city in the Bright Moon Immortal Dynasty, and was only a sparring partner in every Hundred Cities War, City Lord Liu was not discouraged. He looked forward to the day when the geniuses of Qilan City could stand out and make him shine among his peers.

The Bright Moon Immortal Dynasty is simply too vast. Even though City Lord Liu, a powerful Emperor Realm expert, can lead them through the void, it would still take a very long time to reach Zhentian City.

Therefore, they prepared to take the teleportation array, but Qilan City was just a small city and there was no teleportation array that led directly to Zhentian City.

City Lord Liu led them to a nearby large city, and from there they took a teleportation array to the vicinity of Zhentian City.

The teleportation array is not located in the capital, but in a small town outside the city. This is to prevent people with ulterior motives from using the teleportation array to go directly to the capital.

Although it's called a small town, it's actually only slightly smaller than Qilan City.

Everyone who comes to Zhentian City can only enter through the main gate.

"Zhentian City is just ahead."

With a wave of his hand, Lord Liu led them to the gates of the imperial capital.

Although Xu Hao had prepared himself mentally before coming, he was still deeply shocked when he actually saw this giant city.

This city is truly breathtaking; its city walls are thousands of feet high.

The city gates were like two towering mountains, inspiring awe and fear.

The city walls and gates are made of special materials and are engraved with mysterious inscriptions.

The name "Zhentian City" must have been written by a powerful figure. Even if you are very strong, you will still feel insignificant in front of this magnificent city.

Wu Yuqi and the other four all looked up, mouths agape, eyes wide, muttering to themselves.

"Is this Zhentian City, the imperial capital of the Bright Moon Immortal Dynasty? It's magnificent!"

"I really want to stay here and never leave."

"True strongmen should accomplish great things here, achieving high positions and great success!"

It wasn't just them; many other people who were here for the first time also had the same expression.

"Let's go."

When Lord Liu spoke, the five people who had been shocked finally came to their senses, subconsciously swallowed, and followed him.

They followed the large entourage into the most prosperous city of the Bright Moon Immortal Dynasty.

In Qilan City, Lord Liu was the most prestigious city lord, but upon arriving in Zhentian City, he was nothing. Any family or power here could easily wipe him out.

Lord Liu was well aware of this, so after arriving in Zhentian City, he concealed his aura and made himself look like an ordinary passerby.

Upon entering Zhentian City, one can see the main road in front of them, which is at least several hundred feet wide. Even so, it is crowded with flying boats coming and going.

In Zhentian City, apart from members of the royal family, other cultivators are prohibited from flying, but they can fly at low altitudes by airship.

Lord Liu took out his extremely fast top-grade flying boat, and they flew at full speed for several hours before leaving the suburbs and arriving at the bustling main city.

Xu Hao sighed inwardly.

"From what we can see, Zhentian City is even much larger than Cangzhou."

Along the way, Xu Hao and his companions fell silent after seeing magnificent palaces and beautiful fairy mountains, staring wide-eyed at everything around them.

Even Wu Yuqi from the Wu family was no exception, but in order to show that he was different from Xu Hao and the other three, he had to put on an expression that said, "It's nothing special."

Zhentian City was too prosperous, with too many powerful people and geniuses. They had already seen many geniuses who were even younger and more outstanding than themselves along the way.

This instilled a sense of inferiority in those of them who came from small towns, and their self-confidence was utterly shattered.

They were initially full of confidence for the trip, but now they all looked like wilted eggplants, completely lacking confidence and having the idea of ​​not daring to compete and wanting to go home.

Even Xu Hao, who is usually very determined, took a while to adjust his mindset.

He believed that Zhentian City was just a small starting point in his life.
