C240

The distance between Dingguo City and the capital wasn't too far, but it wasn't too close either.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened along the way. Xia Xing and Lan Yiyi only used three days to ride their horses into the vicinity of the Capital City.

"Hiss hiss!" A Ferghana Horse emitted a loud and clear screech, and its two front hooves leaped high into the air, causing the entire body of the horse to tilt backwards.

Riding on the horse, Xia Xinghe didn't feel any discomfort from the unusual movement of the Ferghana Horse, and his body was still stable like a boulder.

Staring at the towering city ahead with eyes like tornadoes, Xia Xinghe shook his head slightly and said in a soft voice, "Is this the capital?"

Of course, Lan Yiyi could hear the disappointment in Xia Xinghe's tone. Immediately, Lan Yiyi said, "Young master, have you ever been to a city more prosperous than the capital? The capital city is the largest city in Chu, and is comparable to several of the largest cities in the country. Eastsea City is not even a tenth of the capital city, and might even be a few dozen times larger! "

Xia Xing didn't answer Lan Yiyi's question. He only asked, "Have you been to the capital before?"

"I've been here since I was a kid, if you think about it carefully, it's been almost ten years since I've been here." Lan Yiyi seemed to have fallen into some kind of reminiscence. Her beautiful eyes became vacant.

Xia Xinghe knew that Lan Yiyi must have remembered the time when Lan Tong was still serving as an imperial physician in the capital. Naturally, Xia Xinghe did not interrupt Lan Yiyi's recollection; she only controlled the speed of the Ferghana Horse and slowly headed towards the capital.

King's City was different from Dingguo City. It was bustling with activity, but there were no tea vendors outside the city walls. It was like a face project, using all of its power to maintain a clean and tidy surface, as opposed to the appearance of the city …

Not long after, Xia Xinghe and Lan Yiyi rode their horses to the east gate of the capital.

The capital, just as Lan Yiyi had said, was far from what Dingguo City could compare to, much less what Eastsea City could do …

The city gate that was big enough for thirty horses galloping side by side was like a giant beast with its mouth wide open, ready to devour anything. It had an extraordinary aura.

"Eastern Gate of the capital!" These five large words were carved directly onto the old city walls brimming with the aura of time, with astonishing power.

The most ridiculous thing was that the outer perimeter of the city walls was almost seventy to eighty feet, which gave off an immense and invisible pressure.

If this was an siege, the army that was attacking the city would turn around and leave the city when they saw the sheer walls of this natural moat. They wouldn't even bother to attack the city, because there was no point in doing so!

However, a city wall of this scale, in the eyes of Xia Xingchen, was barely a fart!

After all, this kind of city wall could block soldiers, even ordinary cultivators, even if it was the low level Celestial Phenomenon Mirror, they wouldn't be able to break through easily.

"Young Master, how was it?" Lan Yiyi pointed proudly at the majestic city walls of Dingguo City. "Looking at the capital at such a close distance, does it feel different?"

"Just so-so." Xia Xinghe shook his head as he spoke the truth.

Xia Xinghe wasn't bragging. Once his cultivation entered the Celestial Phenomenon Mirror and had the ability to propel the golden qi image in his body, with the limitless divine art of the Great Emperor, he would be able to easily crush the walls!

If an ordinary Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant couldn't accomplish this, Xia Xinghe could!

Hearing Xia Xinghe's answer, Lan Yi was speechless. She really wanted to know what Xia Xinghe was thinking and why he cared so much about it.

"Enter the city." Xia Xinghe did not bother with this question. With a casual wave of his hand, he controlled the Ferghana Horse on his back and slowly entered the capital.
