As he watched the eagles soar overhead, Chen Yang felt a sense of urgency and worry for the first time.

Previously, because of the storage ring, Chen Yang did not think that transporting the iron ore was a particularly difficult task.

The journey from Qingzhou City to the capital was only three or four days at a fast pace, which was very simple for them and Liu Qingxia.

But at this moment, Chen Yang realized that he had indeed underestimated the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Liu Qingxia looked at Chen Yang with confusion and asked, "Chen Yang, what's wrong? Is your neck uncomfortable?"

Chen Yang shook his head, not mentioning the eagle-like monster in the sky, and said, "It's alright, let's go into the city, find a carriage, and continue our journey. We should always be careful to conserve our energy."

Liu Qingxia nodded, took Chen Yang's hand, and the two walked together toward Jinxiu City.

Liu Qingxia said, "I think we should go on horseback; it'll be faster that way."

Chen Yang shook his head and did not mention the aerial monster patrol.

The two entered the Splendid City.

This beautiful city is much larger than Qingzhou City. Its walls stand tall, its banners flutter, and its interior is teeming with people.

Not far from the city gate, there was a large inn with a fragrant aroma wafting from it.

Chen Yang sniffed and said with a smile, "Come on, wife, let's go get something to eat first, and pack some goodies to take with us. Anyway, with the storage ring, the food won't spoil and will stay fresh."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingxia chuckled and said, "Chen Yang, are we here for a vacation, or are we on a dangerous mission?"

Chen Yang put his arm around Liu Qingxia's waist and said, "No, we're on our honeymoon."

Liu Qingxia couldn't help but blush.

The two walked towards the inn, chatting and laughing.

There weren't many guests in the inn.

Chen Yang didn't pay any attention and went inside with Liu Qingxia.

Halfway there, Liu Qingxia suddenly grabbed Chen Yang's arm and pointed to a sign ahead, saying, "No wonder this restaurant has so few customers, even though the food smells delicious. Their prices are outrageous! They dare to charge 50 taels of silver for a plate of braised beef. I wonder if they're running a shady business."

Chen Yang laughed and said, "Who cares, as long as it tastes good."

The two entered the inn, where a waiter came to greet them.

Chen Yang ordered all the signature dishes in the inn and also asked for 10 jars of fine wine.

Upon hearing that a big business had arrived, the waiter immediately smiled and went to make arrangements.

As Chen Yang sat at the table waiting for his food, he frowned slightly and couldn't help but look up towards the second floor of the inn.

On the left side of the second floor of the living room, five powerful auras emanated from there, each of which was at the Golden Body Realm level!

Chen Yang was secretly puzzled: Although Jinxiu City is a bit larger than Qingzhou City, it is still only slightly larger. Where did so many Golden Body Realm cultivators come from? He just casually came here for a meal and ran into 5 of them, and all 5 of them were carrying a hint of killing intent.

Chen Yang's investigative skills had reached a level of perfection, so he could naturally investigate the situation of everyone in the store very clearly.

Moreover, this detection technique is also related to the user's mental strength. Chen Yang's mental strength is so powerful that it is boundless, so it is naturally easier for him to detect.

However, Chen Yang wasn't too concerned, as long as the other party wasn't targeting him. Even if the Prime Minister's mansion had connections everywhere, they wouldn't have anticipated that he would come to the inn for a meal. It was even less likely that they would have laid an ambush of five Golden Body Realm cultivators to deal with him beforehand.

Before long, dishes of food were served.

Just as Chen Yang and Liu Qingxia were enjoying their meal, a series of banging and drumming sounds came from outside.

Several guests in the inn were whispering among themselves.

"It's the Gu family! Is the Gu family moving away en masse?"

"You don't know? Zhang Hengyang, the new son-in-law of the Gu family, has recently been promoted three ranks in the capital and has now been appointed as the Commander of the Nine Gates! That's a powerful figure, controlling over a thousand high-ranking imperial troops!"

"The Gu family knows their son-in-law has become the Commander of the Nine Gates, so they're immediately rushing to move there entirely, so they can finally settle down in the capital!"

"Damn, how come the Gu family is so lucky? Their son-in-law is quite strong, but he seems to be just a rogue cultivator without any foundation. How did he rise to such a high position?"

"I heard that he accidentally saved His Majesty, which is why he suddenly rose to become one of His Majesty's favorites. The Gu family really hit the jackpot!"

"That's right! Just think about how poor the Gu family was before. They could barely afford to keep their demon beasts, and they had to rely on taking them to the circus to survive. But now they're a powerful family in the capital, and they won't have to live like this anymore!"

Just then, a group of more than 30 people slowly drove up from not far away, making a lot of noise.

At the head of the procession were several bright red carriages, carrying members of the Gu family and their valuables.

Behind these carriages were more than 20 carriages made of steel cages, each containing a monster.

However, these monsters were all skin and bones from hunger, on the verge of death, and their eyes had long lost their ferocity, leaving only a desire for food.

Chen Yang looked at the hungry monsters and suddenly found it a bit funny. These monsters were quite pitiful, completely treated like wild animals in a zoo by the Gu family.

Just then, the five Golden Core Realm auras in the upstairs room suddenly revealed hostility.

Chen Yang's concealed aura detection technique clearly detected the hostility and murderous intent of the five people.

Chen Yang stroked his chin: It seems these five people are after the Gu family's team.

At that moment, the Gu family's carriage passed by the inn.

Immediately, three or four waiters rushed out of the inn and blocked the Gu family's group.

One of the shop assistants was speaking to the Gu family members in a very attentive manner.

Soon, the Gu family's convoy came to a stop.

More than ten members of the Gu family got off the carriage and led the Gu family's guards into the inn.

Meanwhile, the inn's staff pulled the Gu family's beast-drawn carriages towards the backyard to feed the beasts.

The Gu family had many members, and the inn was quickly filled after they entered.

In the main seat of the Gu family was a beautiful young woman around 30 years old.

This young woman was very pretty, with a round face and willow-leaf eyebrows. Although she wasn't stunningly beautiful, she was poised and graceful, and seemed destined to bring good fortune to her husband.

Next to the woman was a mother holding her child; it was clear she had recently given birth.

The members of the Gu family were all sitting around her, clearly indicating that this young woman was the core of the Gu family.

Chen Yang frowned slightly as he looked at the beautiful young woman. A clear and distinct fluctuation of spiritual energy emanated from her waist. Clearly, this woman possessed a supreme treasure, and the aura of this treasure was enough to stir Chen Yang's heart.
