Brother and sister Su Bai and Mingya Mingcheng lived by the sacred river that protects the city for a few days.
Mingya was a lively and talkative girl. Su Bai soon learned from her the story of Mingcheng and the ninth princess of the Hongwu Dynasty.
Ten years ago, the ninth princess was in danger in an ancient sacred mountain. Mingcheng rescued her. The two spent some time together and developed feelings for each other.
After the Ninth Princess returned to the dynasty, she wanted to ask the emperor to agree to her marriage to Mingcheng, but she was rejected.
For this reason, the Ninth Princess immediately banned herself from interacting with anyone, causing the emperor a huge headache.
In the end, the emperor only offered a compromise solution, which was to hold a Hongwu court meeting.
As long as Mingcheng can win the first place in the Hongwu Dynasty meeting, he will agree to their marriage.
That's why these brothers and sisters traveled thousands of miles to come to Hongyang City.
By the river, Mingcheng happily roasted rabbit meat for Su Bai and Mingya.
Su Bai smiled a little because he hadn't eaten these ordinary foods for a long time.
As long as one's own cultivation can connect with heaven and earth, which is the lowest level in the monastic world, one can only rely on absorbing the energy of heaven and earth to meet the body's needs without eating.
This is even more true when you reach Su Bai's level. Even if you don't eat or absorb any energy from heaven and earth, you can stay there until the end of your life and you won't starve to death.
Seeing Su Bai's weird expression, Mingcheng smiled and said: "My girl just likes to eat these things. Hey, if this Taoist brother can't get used to eating these things, I won't have anything else to entertain him!"
Su Bai smiled and shook his head, "No."
Immediately, Su Bai took a roasted rabbit leg from his hand.
Mingya had bright eyes and bright teeth, and a bright smile, "How about it, uncle? The rabbit meat roasted by my brother tastes good. My future sister-in-law was killed by his trick!"
Hearing this, Su Bai couldn't laugh or cry for a while. This kind of plot is really in line with some popular drama novels.
Mingya not only eats meat but also drinks alcohol, which is quite inconsistent with her image as a soft girl.
However, it was so generous that even Su Bai joined in.
"In three days, the Hongwu Dynasty will be held. Brother, you must win my sister-in-law back!"
After drinking for three rounds, Mingya's cheeks turned red, she raised her glass and said this to Mingcheng.
Mingcheng was still quite sober. He smiled and said, "I will try my best."
Su Bai looked at Mingcheng and said, "Did you know in advance what strong opponents there will be when you participate in this Hongwu court meeting?"
Mingcheng looked at Su Bai, and then said: "I have probably understood that this Hongwu court meeting is only allowed to participate in the Supreme realm and above, and those under the age of 100,000 years old."
"Those who can step into the supreme realm within one hundred thousand years are actually very rare. They are considered extremely talented beings in the Hongwu Dynasty."
"But now that I have reached the peak of Supreme cultivation, there are only a few people who can pose some threat to me."
Mingcheng listed a few names, and most of the people he mentioned were only the late-stage cultivators of the Holy Lord.
There are only two people who are at the same supreme peak.
It can be seen that Mingcheng is very humble. If it were Su Bai, except for those two people, the others would be incompetent.
During the few days of contact with the brother and sister, Su Bai did not make any inquiries about their identities.
However, although Su Bai has integrated into the two of them, Mingcheng still has not completely let go of his wariness towards Su Bai.
The more this happened, the more Su Bai was certain that these two people had extraordinary origins.
In Su Bai's opinion, Mingcheng was most likely the son of the witch god he was looking for.
"We may be able to get some clues by waiting for the Hongwu court meeting in three days."
Su Bai was not in a hurry.
On the early morning of the third day, before the light had yet risen from the distant horizon, Mingya and his sister took Su Bai early and set off by boat to Qiuling Ferry.
Next to Qiuling Ferry, there is an ancient battlefield, which is where the Hongwu Dynasty will be held.
The three of them were riding on a simple boat, sailing in the direction of Qiuling Ferry.
Although there were many immortal cultivators in the Hongwu Dynasty, mortals still accounted for the largest proportion.
In the territory under the rule of the Hongwu Dynasty, there were many rivers and lakes, so water transportation was developed. In some major cities, flying in the air was prohibited.
Of course, except for existences above the Supreme Realm.
Although Mingcheng has a supreme level of cultivation, he is relatively low-key and still travels by boat.
Not long after, the boat sailed through the city-protecting sacred river and into the Qiuling River, and the water in front of us suddenly became wider.
After sailing into the Qiuling River, there were more boats around. Most of these people were going to Qiuling Ferry to observe the Hongwu Dynasty.
Everyone was very excited.
At this time, it was just dawn, there was a layer of mist on the river, and the boats were all hung with lanterns for lighting.
In comparison, the boat that Su Bai and the others were riding on was not only not gorgeous enough, but also pitifully small.
Compared with the boat next to it, their small boat was like a leaf floating on the river. The waves stirred up by the former's forward movement were almost as high as their boat.
But, it works very steadily.
However, at this time, several dragon-headed ships sailed in parallel, stirring up huge waves on the river. There were nine dragon-headed ships in total, which immediately attracted countless eyes.
The ship that looked huge next to Su Bai and the others just now looked petite in comparison!
"What a domineering ship. This dragon-headed ship is probably made from the corpse of a real dragon!"
"Using the corpses of nine true dragons to refine a ship, how much financial resources does this require?"
"Whose power is this?"
"In the Hongwu Dynasty, apart from the royal family, I am afraid that only the King of Huaiyang in the far north has such strength!"
…
On the dragon head ship, the flag is high, and the word Huaiyang is particularly eye-catching. In front of the leader, Shi, stands a heroic figure with long clothes and white hair, tall and handsome figure, and a arrogant expression.
Su Bai also glanced at this person, but after just one glance, he lost interest.
His cultivation level is pretty good, he is at the peak of being over 50,000 years old, but his talent is not that good, and his foundation is not that good either. Being able to cultivate to the peak level at such an age probably requires the blessing of many external forces.
There is nothing worthy of Su Bai's attention to such an existence.
After someone recognized that it was the Dragon Head Ship of King Huaiyang, naturally some people also recognized the identity of the figure with long hair and white clothes.
The only son of the King of Huaiyang, Qi Ao.
In the far north, this Qi Ao is definitely a prince-like existence!
Even within the entire Hongwu Dynasty, the princes of the royal family had to give him some face.
