As the imperial capital of the Middle-earth Empire, Luoyang is not only the center of Kyushu, but also the most prosperous and wealthy area in the entire Kunlun continent.
It is said that the name of Luoyang has been passed down from ancient times. The city has a long history and has experienced thousands of years of changes, but it still exists forever.
Today, outside the majestic city gate of Luoyang, a mediocre-looking young man in black robe had just arrived.
On his shoulder stood a snow-white ape, looking at the undulating city walls like mountains in front of him, showing great excitement.
The visitor was none other than Gu Chen. After leaving Tiangong, he continued on his way and finally arrived in Luoyang today.
Three days later, there will be a ceremony for the royal family of China to offer sacrifices to heaven.
Qinglin Killer God originally traveled with Gu Chen, but he felt that when he was around and Gu Chen was protected, he would easily relax his vigilance, which was not good for his growth, so he disappeared.
Although he was missing, Gu Chen knew that he must be not far from him. This approach can be said to be well-intentioned.
Luoyang deserves to be the imperial capital of Kyushu, and its towering city walls are unmatched by any city Gu Chen has ever seen before.
Now that we are very close to the royal family's heaven-sacrifice ceremony, the guards at the city gate check people entering the city very carefully, and the queue is extremely long.
Gu Chen lined up behind the queue, waiting unhurriedly to enter the imperial capital.
The team of three religions and nine schools gathered together and were discussing the major events that had happened in Kyushu these days, and among them, Gu Chen heard his name many times.
"When he first entered the king's realm, he was ranked thirty-three on the Nine Provinces Ranking. Chen Gu of Tianting is really amazing! It is said that he is also on the invitation list for the princes' banquet for the royal family's heaven-sacrifice ceremony. I wonder if I have a chance to see it.
True appearance?"
"Hey, the appearance of stars in the daytime is indeed rare in ancient times. It seems that it can't even compare to the genius of the Huangfu family. I really regret not going to the Zhenwu Academy to watch the battle before."
A group of monks were full of praise. Gu Chen looked strange as he listened to others praising him.
He never expected that that day's breakthrough would have such a huge impact. He was also included in the Black List and the Nine Provinces Popularity List, which was even more unexpected for him.
Along the way, he heard countless similar remarks.
"Squeak!"
When Bai Yuan heard others talking about Gu Chen, he shook his head with an angry look on his face.
Among all the rumors, Gu Chen was popular, but few people mentioned the little guy, so he felt unhappy.
It can be said that Gu Chen played a very important role in breaking through it at that time, but no one praised it for being wise or powerful.
"You can't even compare to the Tianjiao of the Huangfu family? You all can really boast. You must know that the Tianjiao Huangfu Qingming had already entered the realm of kings four years ago, and how old was Chen Gu of this heaven before he broke through and became a king? Even if
No matter how amazing his vision is when he breaks through, I still think he is far inferior to the genius!"
"That's right! Tianjiao possesses a super first-class physique. There are only seven known physiques of this level in the entire Kunlun continent. Can Chen Gu compare?"
Some people praise it while others despise it. Whether it is common people or ordinary monks, their favorite thing to discuss after dinner is which genius is stronger.
Gu Chen has been in the limelight recently and is undoubtedly being compared to the geniuses of the imperial capital.
This place is Luoyang, Huangfu Qingming lives here, and he naturally has the largest number of followers, so soon, the opinion that Gu Chen is not as good as the genius Huangfu Qingming completely gained the upper hand.
Gu Chen didn't care about such gossip, he just listened to it to pass the boring time, but a piece of news shocked him.
"This time when the star appeared during the day, the members of the Huangshen Sect spread propaganda everywhere, saying that a disaster star was born, and that Chen Gu was the disaster star. Their people lied, saying that they would kill Chen Gu in the name of the Huangshen.
To save all sentient beings.”
"Hey, that crazy cult? They haven't done enough crazy things?"
"Keep your voice down! There are many followers of the Aragami Sect. Don't let them hear it, or you will be sacrificed to the Aragami."
The person who had previously laughed at the Aragami Sect turned pale and suddenly did not dare to speak.
Everyone knows that the Aragami Sect has extreme doctrines and has gathered a large number of lunatic believers. Anyone who dares to insult their sect will end up in a miserable state.
After so many years, even the imperial court has not dared to muster the courage to eradicate this cult, simply because they have too many followers and their methods of revenge are too terrible.
"Aragami Cult? Do they have a grudge against me?"
Gu Chen frowned, not expecting that he would be publicized as a disaster star.
He immediately remembered what happened in the Wild God Valley and wondered if that incident had offended them.
But he quickly rejected this possibility. All the people in the Aragami Sect were dead at that time, and for such a thing, there was no need to go to war with him, right?
He couldn't figure out why the Aragami Sect was targeting him, and finally came to the conclusion that this sect was originally full of lunatics. Perhaps it was because of the daytime star that it decided that he was a disaster star. He thought carefully about the reasons, but he seemed too stupid.
Got it!
"It seems that in the imperial capital, in addition to being wary of the Huangfu family, we also need to be wary of people from the Aragami Sect."
Gu Chen felt a slight headache. He was not afraid of those who were aggressive but those who were life-threatening. However, the members of the Huangshen Sect he had come into contact with were all life-threatening...
After waiting in line for a long time, Gu Chen successfully entered the imperial capital.
This imperial capital is extremely prosperous, and the streets are bustling with traffic and hustle and bustle.
Gu Chen asked passers-by and went straight to the Shen family's mansion.
"Is this where my mother was born?"
Gu Chen stood outside the gate of Shen Mansion, feeling indescribably happy in his heart.
It had been a year since he and his mother had seen each other, they had gone their separate ways, and finally they had the time to meet again.
If Prince Ji Zefang hadn't invited him to attend the banquet of the princes, I might not have found such a legitimate opportunity to meet his mother.
Gu Chen's consciousness immediately spread and extended into Shen's mansion, trying to find his mother's whereabouts.
The Shen Mansion covers an extremely vast area and is worthy of being a scholarly family. The layout of the pavilions and pavilions in the mansion is elegant yet grand, and even the architecture is unique.
There are many places in this huge mansion where magic circles are placed to prevent prying eyes. Once Gu Chen's consciousness touches them, he will be unable to move forward.
But without the protection of the magic circle, he found no trace of his mother.
"Who are you, and what are you doing sneakily outside my Shen residence?"
Behind Gu Chen, a young man of thirteen or fourteen years old with a tiger-like head asked.
He was Shen Yanhong, a third-generation descendant of the Shen family. He had just returned from outside when he saw a man acting strangely outside his mansion, and he felt a little unhappy.
Gu Chen withdrew his consciousness, turned around and glanced at the young man. "Are you from the Shen family?"
"Exactly, what can I do for you?"
Shen Yanhong is still young and can't hide his thoughts. He is extremely proud of his identity as a son of the Shen family, which can be seen at a glance.
"I, Chen Gu, would like to see Master Shen Xudong and let me know."
