Chapter 543 Entering the Imperial City

Time passed day by day, and six months passed in a blink of an eye. This day was already the first day of the twelfth lunar month at the end of the year, and the cold winter began to cover the earth.

The Imperial City is still prostrate on the banks of the Gilded River like a giant black beast. The guards inside and outside the city are all wearing uniform black rune armor and are on duty everywhere.

In the evening of this day, a rush of hoofbeats came from afar, and accompanied by flying dust, the hoofbeats reached the city wall in an instant.

The guards on the edge of the city saw a gray-blue lightning approaching, and their expressions were shocked, showing vigilant eyes.

"Concerned about..."

There was a loud neighing sound, and the gray-blue lightning suddenly stopped outside the city gate.

After the dust fell, the guards saw clearly that what stopped in front of the city gate was a huge Thunder Lin horse.

On the back of Lei Linma's horse, a young man in his 20s, wearing a tight gray suit, was sitting on it. He was looking up at the majestic Emperor City, with a look of anticipation in his eyes.

The man on the horse was Ye Li. Six months had passed. After some training and preparations, he returned to the Imperial City again, preparing to participate in the second city trial starting on the second day of the twelfth lunar month.

After looking up at the incomparably majestic Imperial City for a while, Ye Li turned over and jumped off Lei Lin's horse, and walked to the guard at the gate of the city.

Taking out a token from his pocket, and handing it to the guard, Ye Lili said, "I'm here to participate in the second trial of entering the city, Ye Li, at the Casting Hall."

After the guard took the token and checked it repeatedly, he nodded when he heard Ye Li report his name and background, and said to Ye Li: "Young master, please wait a moment, I'll call someone out to receive you .”

After the guard finished speaking, he turned and walked into the city. After a while, he led a middle-aged man out.

After the middle-aged man saw Ye Li, he hurriedly bowed to him and said, "Master Ye, I have kept you waiting for a long time, please follow me into the city, and I will take you to see Elder Qi."

Hearing the other party's words, Ye Li hurriedly responded politely, then led his thunder horse and walked into the city.

As soon as he entered the city gate, there were guards coming up to greet him, wanting to arrange Lei Linma for Ye Li.

The middle-aged man who led the way turned around and explained to Ye Li: "Master Ye, horses from outsiders are not allowed in our imperial city, so the guards will put your horses in a special shed beside the city.

Please rest assured that we will have someone to take care of it for you and will not neglect your BMW. "

Hearing the other party's explanation, Ye Li also nodded hastily, and handed the reins in his hand to the guard next to him.

After the guards took Lei Linma away, Ye Li continued to follow the middle-aged man towards the city.

After passing through the long city gate, Ye Li finally entered the city of Emperor City, but it was not as prosperous as he imagined.

The entire city seems to have relatively scattered buildings, not as dense as the City of Elysium, and it is full of people's voices everywhere.

There are not many pedestrians in the imperial city, the streets are very empty, and there is a huge city wall surrounding the center of the city in the distance, which surprised Ye Li.

While leading the way for Ye Li, the middle-aged man said, "Master Ye entered the Imperial City for the first time, so you're a little surprised?"

Hearing the middle-aged man's question, Ye Li nodded and said, "To tell you the truth, I was really surprised that this place is much deserted than I imagined.

And I didn't expect that there was a city wall in front of it. Is that the inner city? "

Hearing Ye Li's question, the middle-aged man nodded without any surprise on his face, and said, "Almost every person who enters the Imperial City for the first time will have similar doubts.

Although our Imperial City is a huge city, there are not many residents. Residents don't need to buy daily necessities, and there will be a special place to pick them up, so there are no shops.

The people in the city, except for some guards, are all spirit talisman masters. Even the servants must have at least the spiritual fog stage cultivation base, otherwise they are not qualified to enter the city at all.

The Imperial City is divided into inner and outer cities. In the inner city, only heavenly disciples, deacons, elders and the city lord live. It belongs to the real core area, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.

The outer city is for disciples below the prefecture level to live in, and of course there are some buildings used for daily activities, so it looks deserted and empty when you look at it. "

After hearing the other party's explanation, Ye Li also roughly understood the composition of the personnel here, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt a shock in his heart.

Although there seem to be relatively few pedestrians here, they are not too few. You will still encounter a lot of pedestrians in twos and threes along the way, which is not much different from some smaller towns.

But according to what the middle-aged man said just now, everyone I can see here is a talisman master, which is quite amazing.

According to Ye Li's estimation, the population density of such a large city should not be less than 1 people, that is to say, there are at least [-] talisman masters here.

And according to Ye Li's observations, except for servants, guards, and prefecture-level native disciples, most of the other people here have a cultivation level above the trance stage, which made Ye Li swallow his mouth. saliva.

Such a huge number of masters above the séance stage was an existence that he had never dared to imagine in the past.

The middle-aged man led Ye Li forward while continuing to say: "Master Ye, there are two courtyards in the imperial city, the east and the west, both of which are used to train young disciples.

The four of you test takers are now temporarily assigned to the east courtyard to rest. We will assign you a large courtyard after you have officially become disciples of the Imperial City. "

While listening to the middle-aged man's introduction, Ye Li couldn't help but look around curiously.

The young people around would also turn their heads to look at Ye Li from time to time. They could more or less guess that Ye Li was the person who came to participate in the city trial this year, and they were somewhat curious about him.

Under everyone's "watching", Ye Li followed the middle-aged man to a big house very quickly.

"Master Ye, Elder Qi is waiting in this house."

As the middle-aged man spoke, he pointed to the door next to him and motioned to Ye Li.

Ye Li looked at the other party, and hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for leading the way."

The middle-aged man looked at Ye Li and waved his hand, smiled and signaled him that you're welcome, then turned and left.

After the middle-aged man left, Ye Li came to the house by himself, reached out and knocked on the door lightly, and Qi Wei's response came from inside: "Come in!"
