This cultivation world was never serious from the start.

When it came time to process the travel permits, Senior Brother Chang Yin did not show up himself; he delegated Duanmu Yan, a new disciple from the Enforcement Hall this year, to handle the procedures.

"I really envy Senior Brother Su. Every time he goes out, he brings back a widely circulated experience." Duanmu Yan said with a look of admiration.

Su Zhe felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this, but still waved his hand confidently, "It's all just flattery from the martial arts world."

Yes, without the support of others, he would just be an ordinary disciple of the Heavenly Questioning Sect...

After leaving Tianwen Peak, Yun Shuiyao looked at the cool, black-smoking Ten Thousand Souls Banner in Su Zhe's hand. After hesitating for a long time, she couldn't help but ask, "Senior brother, is that the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in your hand?"

"Don't talk nonsense, this is my Emperor's Banner." Su Zhe lied without changing his expression.

"But why is your banner emitting black smoke?" Yun Shuiyao asked with a complicated expression.

"This is Primordial Purple Qi," Su Zhe said with a straight face, "Purple Qi at its extreme turns black, didn't you know that?"

"But how come there are still living souls in your banner?" Yun Shuiyao pointed at the floating Heavenly Demon Lord Li Ergou with a complicated expression.

"Oh, him? He was my follower. After learning the name of the Human Emperor Banner, he voluntarily abandoned his following me. You can ask him if you don't believe me," Su Zhe said confidently.

Li Ergou nodded quickly.

Just kidding, how could he not take the initiative?

He was about to be executed by the court of law enforcement. If he hadn't bowed his head, he would probably be buried with grass growing three feet tall by now.

"I see. But seeing how capable Senior Brother Su is, Junior Sister is relieved." Yun Shuiyao said with a smile, her whole person shining brighter in the eyes of Su Zhe and Li Ergou.

This means the favorability spell is working again.

This time, they traveled in the flying boat of Yunshuiyao, which was painted with the mark of Yunmengze, the seal of the Chu royal family, representing the Chu royal family.

So along the way, the flying boat sped by without avoiding or slowing down when passing over many cities.

In particular, when passing through Linshui City, Su Zhe and the others glanced down and discovered that a grand ceremony was being held there.

Although they were far apart, Su Zhe still managed to see the contents of the banner.

Welcome xxx to the position of Lord of Linshui City!

There were many banners, and the names were unfamiliar. Su Zhe didn't even get a clear look at the names in his brief glance.

"Linshui City has changed city lords so quickly?" Su Zhe asked somewhat guiltily.

"Yes, it seems that the original city lord, Yang, has passed away. The deputy city lord petitioned the royal family, saying that Linshui City cannot be without protection for even a day, so he took over as the city lord." Yun Shuiyao nodded.

She was a member of the Chu royal family, and Linshui City was located next to the Tianwen Sect, so these matters were naturally reported to her.

"What about Lord Yang's remains?" Su Zhe asked.

"It's been transported back to its hometown, and I reckon it should be buried in the next few days," Yun Shuiyao said.

"Alright then." Su Zhe sighed.

What a pity for Yang. He joined the Heavenly Demon Sect with me, so how could he suddenly die like this?

The flying boat continued its journey, and along the way, Su Zhe and his companions passed through many cities. Yun Shuiyao also took the opportunity to introduce the Chu Kingdom.

"The State of Chu has been established for 100,000 years. The relationship between the Chu emperors and the sect leader of the Tianwen Sect has always been quite good. After all, the Chu royal family is only 80,000 miles away from the Tianwen Sect..." Yun Shuiyao said with emotion, talking about the relationship between the Tianwen Sect and the State of Chu. "Except for this generation."

Su Zhe remained silent.

He knew why this generation was an exception.

Before the Chu royal family's version of the Heavenly Emperor Fist came out, the relationship between the Chu emperor and his master was probably quite good.

After all, the two could still drink together, and the Chu Emperor, drunk, had no guard against his master.

"But that's a matter between my nephew and the sect leader, it has nothing to do with us." Yun Shuiyao smiled brightly again.

Su Zhe nodded quickly.

The flying boat sped along for half a day, covering approximately 50,000 li (about 25,000 kilometers), before finally coming to a stop.

At this moment, Su Zhe and the others were still high in the sky, able to overlook the city below.

Unexpectedly, this city was even larger than Tianwen City, covering an area of ​​hundreds of miles. If it weren't for being high in the sky, it would be almost impossible to see the end of it. It was the largest city Su Zhe had ever seen.

"Is this the capital of the Chu Kingdom?" Su Zhe asked.

"No, but it's close enough. This is the fiefdom of a king of the Chu Kingdom," Yun Shuiyao said.

The airship began its descent, landing directly in the middle of the city.

There were no obstacles along the way. The Yunmengze emblem on the flying boat shimmered with a faint light. Even the city's protective formation readily accepted the group, not to mention the guards.

They have already notified the city lord.

Almost as soon as the airship landed, the city lord, dressed in a black robe, came to greet them.

Su Zhe had sharp eyes and immediately noticed a white ring on the sleeve of the city lord's black robe.

"We apologize for not welcoming you properly, guests from our ancestral land," said the city lord of this place, the legendary king.

"Someone in your family has passed away?" Yun Shuiyao's smile faded slightly when she saw the white ring on Wang Hou's arm.

This is a custom in the Chu region: if a younger generation member dies, the elders, although not wearing mourning clothes, will tie a white cloth ring around their arm to express their grief and remembrance.

"Indeed," Wang Hou said, bowing his head with a sorrowful expression. "My third son has passed away."

Yun Shuiyao glanced at Su Zhe, then looked at the prince, "Since there is a death in the prince's family, as a member of the royal family, I naturally have to represent the Chu Emperor in offering condolences."

The king was flattered by the news and quickly cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "It is already an honor for us that people from our ancestral land have come to pay their respects."

Yun Shuiyao led Su Zhe to the Prince's mansion.

Su Zhe carried the Ten Thousand Souls Banner all the way.

It wasn't that Su Zhe didn't want to put it away, but rather that he couldn't establish a proper connection with the Myriad Souls Banner, so naturally he couldn't control the Myriad Souls Banner to enter his storage space.

Otherwise, given the status of the Myriad Souls Banner, its own storage space would explode.

As for letting Li Ergou control the Myriad Soul Banner to enter the storage space...

Of course it's feasible, but once the Myriad Souls Banner is inside, Li Ergou can't go back to it, since he's a soul and can't enter Su Zhe's storage ring.

If the spirit of the banner cannot return to the Ten Thousand Souls Banner for a long time, it will slowly dissipate into the world.

And most importantly.

After the Myriad Souls Banner entered the storage space, Li Ergou could no longer sense it and naturally could not take it out.

Su Zhe has already blown up three storage rings. If his senior sister hadn't been there every time he blew one up, Su Zhe would probably have turned into popcorn by now.

So along the way, many people secretly observed Su Zhe, but because of Yunshuiyao's presence, no one asked anything.

Soon, Yun Shuiyao and Su Zhe arrived at the Prince's mansion.

Here, he saw two semi-acquaintances!
