Two Realms High Martial Arts: Gathering the Heavens to Become a Great Luo Immortal

Chapter 275 Fame Spreads Throughout the Capital, Invitation

In the capital city, there is the "Qionghua Tower".

This building has nine stories, with flying eaves and bracket sets, and is resplendent in gold and green. It is the most famous restaurant in the capital.

Recently, the entire Qionghua Tower was booked out by Zhongxing Palace, adding to its eye-catching appeal.

At midday, the carriage bearing the banner of the Star Lord of the Palace of Stars, escorted by a group of knights with solemn auras, drove straight to the gate of Qionghua Tower.

The carriage curtain was lifted, and Li Xijun, dressed in black, reappeared under these circumstances.

He had a handsome face and an aura as deep as an abyss. He seemed ordinary, but between the opening and closing of his eyes, it was as if the stars in the sky were being born and dying in a cycle.

However, the sense of the stars made many people somewhat certain after they sensed it.

After getting off the carriage, Li Xijun did not rush inside. Instead, he stood with his hands behind his back in front of the building, calmly scanning the long street.

His appearance and actions were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake!

"It's actually Li Xijun, the Star Lord of the Palace of Stars."

"He really came, and just like that, he swaggered into Qionghua Tower."

"He is a 'prince' certified by the Book of Mortals. Given the current delicate situation in the capital, what is his intention in entering the capital so openly?"

After a brief silence on the long street, a burst of discussion erupted.

The news spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the capital.

The study of the Divine Marquis's residence.

A middle-aged man dressed in a python robe, with a dignified face and eyes that seemed to flash with lightning between opening and closing, had an inscrutable expression.

He was Li Xian, the younger brother of the former emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, who was in charge of the Divine Marquis's Mansion and ranked among the top on the Earthly Ranking. He was listening to his subordinates' report.

"Your Highness, you have already checked into Qionghua Tower."

Li Xian tapped his fingers lightly on the rosewood tabletop, a hint of doubt and seriousness flashing in his eyes:

"The Lord of the Star Palace...and of royal blood. Instead of remaining hidden behind the scenes, he has made such a high-profile appearance. Is it because he relies on the power of the Star Palace, or...does he truly have the confidence to deal with the ensuing turmoil? But what is his purpose in doing this?"

After a moment of contemplation, somewhat unsure of what to do, he ordered, "Keep a close watch on the area around Qionghua Tower, but remember, do not provoke them lightly. Observe the situation quietly."

Six doors, back hall.

An old man with a gaunt face and wise eyes, who seemed to see through all the mysteries of the world, was stroking his beard, lost in thought.

This person was not a member of the royal family, but was Zhuge Wang, who was granted the title of Marquis of Wenyuan, in charge of the Six Doors, and was known as the Divine Marquis Zhuge.

He is currently discussing important matters with four distinguished constables under his command.

The four famous constables are: Ling Jue, the "Cold-Blade Constable"; Bu Qingchen, the "Wind-Chasing Constable"; Shi Gang, the "Iron-Wall Constable"; and Wu Ying, the "Invisible Constable" whose face is covered by a mask and whose aura is deep and mysterious.

On the table was also a notice about Li Xijun's arrival in Beijing.

"My lord, His Highness's actions are far too ostentatious. Given his special status, isn't he afraid of becoming a target of public criticism?" Ling Jue frowned.

Bu Qingchen shook the wine gourd in his hand and laughed, "Brother Ling, you don't understand. The more grand it is, the less people can figure out its true nature. The two Venerables of the Star Palace openly support him, and he himself is a prodigy who has passed the fourth Heavenly Tribulation. Who would dare to easily touch him? I think Your Highness is trying to intimidate people with his power."

Zhuge Wang nodded slightly: "The momentum is there, but their intentions are still unclear. Shi Gang, take some men and keep an eye on Qionghua Tower's movements. Avoid conflict unless absolutely necessary. Wu Ying, go and see what arrangements those restless families in the city have made."

The Mu family's inner quarters.

A beautiful woman dressed in a deep purple brocade robe, exuding elegance and nobility, sat regally in the main seat.

She is Mu Qingyi, the current matriarch of the Mu family and the mother of Mu Wanqiu.

Although she is now over fifty years old as the matriarch of the Mu family, her cultivation at the third level of the Outer Realm has enabled her to maintain her youthful appearance. She looks no more than thirty years old. Her appearance is seven parts similar to Mu Wanqiu's, but she has more of the mature charm and tolerant demeanor that comes with the passage of time.

Although she was a woman in charge of the family business, no one in the Mu family, or even in the Mu family's ancestral home area in Jiangnan, dared to underestimate her because of this.

More than thirty years ago, those who roamed the martial arts world all knew that the ruthless and cruel methods he used back then were even more terrifying than the legendary Vermilion Bird Venerable.

"Madam, the Star Lord has moved into Qionghua Tower," an old steward respectfully reported.

Mu Qingyi picked up the jade teacup beside her, gently stirring the floating tea leaves, a faint smile playing on her lips:

"This child is even bolder than I thought. Wanqiu said in her letter that he agreed to go to the capital to stabilize the people's hearts, but I didn't expect him to do it in this way... Well, chaos requires severe measures, and fog needs a strong wind. Let's see how he stirs up the winds of change in the capital."

Her tone was calm, carrying a hint of appreciation and expectation from an elder looking at an outstanding junior.

……

Qionghua Tower

Inside the "Flying Clouds Pavilion" on the top floor.

At this moment, Li Xijun stood by the window, looking down at the bustling traffic below.

He was calm and composed, as if he were just an ordinary tourist visiting the place.

However, his high-profile appearance, coupled with his sensitive dual identities as a "prince" and a "star lord," meant he was destined for unrest.

as predicted,

However, a few hours later,

Before the setting sun had even set...

A scorching aura, like molten lava from the earth's core, swept over the entire top floor of Qionghua Tower from afar, leaving no room for concealment.

This aura was not purely that of a rogue cultivator; it faintly carried a hint of military ferocity and the weight of aristocratic family techniques.

"Hahaha, it is indeed Lord Li of the Star Palace in person! I am Zhu Qingtian, the 'Lava Palm' master, and I have come to pay my respects!" His voice was as loud as a bell, causing the building to tremble slightly.

The newcomer was a burly, red-faced old man, his body radiating heat; he was a veteran expert at the third level of the Outer Realm in the capital.

On the surface, he was a rogue cultivator, but many powerful forces in the capital knew that he had secretly pledged allegiance to the faction of Zhao Mang, the "Prince of Pinghai" in the Northwest, and spent his days in the capital running errands for his master.

Zhao Mang was a vassal king in the northwest. After the emperor's disappearance, his forces were restless and his ambitions were obvious. Zhu Qingtian's visit was obviously to test the true worth of this suddenly appearing "prince".

Li Xijun spoke softly, yet her voice clearly reached the other person's ears: "I appreciate your kind offer, sir, but I am weary from my journey today and cannot receive guests. Please return."

Zhu Qingtian's face darkened. He had been ordered to come and assess the other party's strength, so he was not about to give up easily.

He chuckled, and with a seemingly casual press of his large, fan-like hand forward, a scorching, domineering palm force, imbued with the intent of a military charge, surged towards Li Xijun from afar, while saying:

"Why must you keep me at arm's length, Star Lord? I merely wish to ask for a cup of wine..."

Before he could finish speaking, his expression changed drastically!

The void around Li Xijun distorted slightly. The scorching palm force, capable of melting gold and iron, seemed to collide with an invisible barrier of starlight when it approached within three feet of him.

The stars spun and the four elements rotated, and the violent palm force was like a mud ox entering the sea, silently decomposed and absorbed, without even causing a ripple!

Zhu Qingtian stumbled back three steps, his face filled with horror, staring at Li Xijun's back as if he had seen a ghost.

He was at the third level of the Outer Realm, yet his all-out attack was so easily neutralized by the opponent.

They didn't even see how the opponent made their move!

Is this level of cultivation truly only at the initial stage of the Outer Realm?

"Star Lord's cultivation is profound; I... admire you! Farewell!"

Zhu Qingtian was no longer arrogant. As a rogue cultivator, he was very clever. He cupped his hands in greeting, turned around and transformed into a streak of fire, disappearing without even a thought of lingering.

Of course, there was also an element of urgency in returning to report to the Prince of Pinghai.

Then,

Another soft, silky aura quietly emerged, and the numerous spies and scouts realized that someone had already arrived downstairs.

A well-informed scout immediately recognized the newcomer as Liu Ruyan, a figure equally renowned in the capital.

A female martial artist at the third level of the Outer Realm, skilled in using softness to overcome hardness and unpredictable, is said to have close ties with certain eunuchs and has many connections within the imperial palace.

however,

The moment her energy touched the window, she felt as if she had fallen into a vast and boundless sea of ​​stars, losing her way. The thousands of strands of energy seemed to have crashed into an impenetrable wall, breaking off and causing a backlash.

She groaned, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth. She glanced in horror at the figure that was still facing away from her, and without daring to linger any longer, she retreated silently.

Subsequently, several more experts of varying strength from the Outer Realm tested the waters.

Without exception, all of them were either blocked by an invisible force field or overwhelmed by the vast starlight after approaching Qionghua Tower, and returned empty-handed.

Throughout the entire process, Li Xijun never turned around, and didn't even mobilize much spiritual power.

Simply by relying on the natural domain formed by the convergence of his perfect inner vision and the heavens and earth, he made these powerful outer vision experts, who were considered masters in the outside world, return empty-handed and even suffer hidden losses.

Outside Qionghua Tower, the spies from various factions who were secretly observing all gasped in shock.

"Zhu Qingtian, the Lava Palm expert, is a fierce general under the command of King Pinghai, yet he fled in disarray without even unleashing a single move!"

"Even the thousand threads that draw Liu Ruyan have suffered a loss!"

"This Li Xijun... is he truly from another realm? How can he be so terrifying?"

"The Star Lord of the Palace of Stars lives up to his name! It seems the capital is truly about to undergo a major upheaval!"

The whispers were filled with shock and awe.

With his unfathomable strength, Li Xijun has already stirred up all sorts of waves in the capital city, a place fraught with danger.

Inside the pavilion,

Li Xijun slowly turned around, looking through the window towards the direction of the palace, a barely perceptible smile curving her lips.

The storm has only just begun.

What he wanted was this uproar.

After all, he's just here to make a brief appearance; he'll be back in the main world in a few days.

No matter how turbulent things are going on here, it's none of his business.

After one night,

The capital city, once filled with undercurrents and tension, is no more.

The entire city now seems to have come alive, with lively hawking sounds and a constant stream of wealthy merchants and ordinary people, displaying unparalleled vitality and energy.

After Li Xijun had finished her morning tea, as it was getting late, a man dressed as a butler came up and respectfully spoke through the door:

"Your Highness, the Mu family requests your presence."
