After clearing the level, the fairies were reborn!

"Junior Qin Yi of Tingyu Tower thanks Senior Sword Immortal for saving my life."

She spoke with utmost respect, revealing her identity.

After all, it's just a matter of a single thought for the other party to kill them.

But since the other party saved him, there was no need to hide it.

However, Qin Yi still did not remove her veil, as if her appearance was far more important than her true identity.

"Tingyu Tower?"

Xu Ze was unfamiliar with the place and had no idea what the name meant.

Are all the sects here called by this kind of name?

Weird.

"Don't you know, senior?"

Qin Yi was taken aback, thinking that she was quite famous in the Central Immortal Continent, yet there were still people who hadn't heard of her.

Looking at the blank expression on the other person's face, it was clear that it wasn't an act.

The senior has heard of me, but he doesn't even know about 'Listening to the Rain Pavilion'!

"I don't know, I just arrived today." Xu Ze shook his head.

Upon hearing this, a knowing look flashed across the woman's delicate face beneath her veil.

"So you are a cultivator from another continent. You must be here to attend the Fourth Prince's 'Immortal Seeking Conference'. My apologies for not recognizing you."

Recently, the person in charge of the forum I organized has been getting very close to His Highness the Fourth Prince.

Since the person in front of us was invited, he should be considered half an ally.

Therefore, Qin Yi's attitude became even more respectful.

Not to mention, the opponent also possesses sword intent at the Great Perfection level.

That is the legendary mark of a master swordsman, a talent worthy of being remembered in history.

After thinking it over, Qin Yi took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the turmoil in her heart. She lightly leaped down from the tree branch and landed three zhang in front of Xu Ze.

This is a location that shows respect while maintaining a safe distance.

Then, she did something that surprised Xu Ze.

The woman in black knelt on one knee, placed her right hand on her chest, and performed an ancient monk's salute.

"Tingyu Tower is an intelligence organization. Within the Central Continent, people from any faction can post missions with us as long as they pay the corresponding reward."

"Currently, our mission success rate is 100%, and we have never failed."

Xu Ze looked at the woman in black kneeling on the ground, his gaze lingering on her for a moment.

The night outfit accentuated her beautiful figure, and her face was faintly visible behind the veil.

But those eyes were clear and calm; even after just surviving a life-or-death chase, they remained composed.

Listening to the Rain Pavilion?

Intelligence organization?

So, he's a killer?

Xu Ze's mind raced, but his face remained impassive.

He nodded slightly, his voice calm:

"Get up."

"Tell me first," Xu Ze said, standing with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the depths of the forest. "Why were those Imperial Guards chasing you? What did you steal?"

Qin Yi stood up and hesitated for a moment.

Then, she reached into her bosom and took something out.

It was a palm-sized jade slip, deep purple in color, with fine golden patterns flowing across its surface, radiating a faint but pure spiritual energy fluctuation.

On the front of the jade slip is engraved a line of small seal script characters.

The first two words made Xu Ze's eyes narrow slightly.

—Imperial Edict.

He reached out and took it, then sent a wisp of his divine sense into it.

But since the system instructed him to save this woman, there must be important and crucial information inside.

as predicted.

After reading the contents of the jade slip, especially upon hearing that familiar name, Xu Ze's pupils dilated slightly.

Chapter 135 The Imperial Capital

Xu Ze finished reading the contents of the jade slip.

The Fourth Prince, Mu Jun, is planning an 'operation'.

He went so far as to hold a "Seeking Immortals Conference" to win over cultivators and heroes from all over the world, and even Jianghu organizations like Tingyulou had to rely on his power.

After all, the probability of the operation succeeding is slim.

Although he didn't say it explicitly in the 'imperial edict,' Xu Ze could sense that the Fourth Prince wanted to kill someone, and his determination was very strong.

But this person is also incredibly terrifying, so much so that even he, the nominal heir, dares not utter her name.

Xu Ze also didn't know what the woman's name was.

However, he could strongly sense that this person was the most crucial figure in this third instance.

What concerned Xu Ze the most was another name in the imperial edict.

— Ninth Princess Mu Qinghe.

He still remembered this little girl very clearly; she had cultivated with Xiaobai and the other two of them.

"The Fourth Prince actually said he wanted to save Qinghe?"

"What kind of danger is she facing now? Is she being held captive?"

After reading the imperial edict, Xu Ze was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information and found it difficult to process.

It seems that a 'big event' is about to happen in this place, even though I'm new here.

The timing of this 'major event' will definitely be within the system's thirty-day countdown.

If you want to achieve a perfect score, you must seize the only opportunity and win it in one fell swoop.

"But I still have too little intelligence and information."

Xu Ze rubbed his chin, thinking that this dungeon was quite difficult.

However, he refrained from asking the woman in black in front of him.

Instead, he quietly returned the jade slip to the other party.

"I want to go to the capital of this country. Do you know how to get there?" Xu Ze asked a seemingly ordinary question.

"Senior, the capital is here."

Qin Yi gave Xu Ze a map and thoughtfully pointed out the location to him.

The other party's calm attitude after reading the jade slip made her even more alarmed.

As for why it was shown to Xu Ze.

Naturally, it's because the other party could kill him at any time, take the jade slip, and check its contents.

In the world of cultivation, when you are a helpless lamb, it's best not to resist.

Therefore, Qin Yi was extremely respectful.

"If I go to the capital now and directly participate in the 'Immortal Seeking Conference' you mentioned, it shouldn't cause any disturbance, right?"

Xu Ze put away the map and asked Qin Yi.

"If you don't mind, senior, you may stay at my home temporarily. With this token, I can recommend myself to be your retainer."

After hearing this, Qin Yi took a hairpin off her hair.

"Currently, many aristocratic families and powerful clans in the capital are recruiting cultivators. This is a perfectly reasonable practice and will not arouse suspicion."

Now, with the Immortal Seeking Conference about to open, many high-level cultivators from the other four continents of Tianyuan Continent have also come to attend.

However, those Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation stage cultivators who command respect in other places cannot even be honored guests in the Central Immortal Continent.

One must be at least a Void Refining stage expert to be respectfully addressed as 'senior'.

"Indeed, the gap between Central Continent and the other four continents is quite large."

Xu Ze sighed.

After learning more about the situation from Qin Yi, Xu Ze parted ways with her because she had to return to Tingyu Tower to report on her mission.

Following the map, after flying for about a thousand miles, Xu Ze saw a checkpoint.

This pass is built on the mountainside of a floating mountain, with a winding stone staircase leading to the pass, and on both sides a bottomless sea of ​​clouds.

The gatekeepers were a team of cultivators clad in silver armor, all of whom were at least at the Nascent Soul stage, with the leader being a Nascent Soul early-stage general.

Following the map's directions, once you pass Luoyun Pass, you'll reach the capital.

"Name, background".

Xu Ze casually registered the information, and the general guarding the city didn't ask any further questions.

Recently, many monks have come from overseas.

If it weren't for the Fourth Prince's decree, they wouldn't bother to operate.

Xu Ze was happy to have some free time, so he swaggered into the capital.

……

The capital of the Great Xuan Dynasty.
