Chapter 28: Infiltrating Dongji City

Unlike the Tiandou Empire, where the royal family is weak, it is a good place for the major sects and academies to develop. The top three sects, the five elemental academies, etc. are all gathered here.

The situation in the Xingluo Empire is even more complicated. Not only are there sects such as the White Tiger Sect and the Holy Dragon Sect, but there are also a large number of powerful family forces.

The western region of the Xingluo Empire is mainly composed of mountain ranges, with the Mingdou Mountains as the main component.

Except for sects like the Xingguan Sect that have secluded themselves here, it can be said that this place is almost deserted. There are even some soul beasts roaming here, and there are almost no pedestrians.

Xingluo City is located in the center of the Xingluo Empire. The northeastern part of the Xingluo Empire borders the Tiandou Empire and is directly controlled by the royal Dai family and its close family.

The southeastern part of the Xingluo Empire is not only home to sects such as the White Tiger Sect and the Holy Dragon Sect, but is also a complex place with many families.

Naturally, the sect provided Xu Mingxi with bodyguards for this trip.

The person who followed him secretly was his grandfather, the great elder Xu Chunyi.

On the surface, this was Xu Mingxi's first time traveling far away by himself. With his Soul King strength, it was enough for him to take care of himself outside.

But sometimes, it's not you who ask for trouble, but trouble that finds you.

Xu Mingxi never thought that one day he would be able to play out this clichéd plot of a hero saving a beauty.

Just as he was driving his carriage towards Dongji City, the largest city in the southeastern region of the Xingluo Empire.

Suddenly, he saw a person wearing tattered soul master's uniform lying in front of his carriage. From a distance, it seemed to be a woman?
Xu Mingxi had just stopped the carriage and had not yet gotten out to check what was going on.

Men in black had already rushed out of the woods not far away. There were four of them in total, some of them were holding long knives, and some had fangs in their mouths.

They all had soul rings hanging on their bodies, one Soul Sect and three Soul Lords, but what made Xu Mingxi speechless was that among these four people, only the Soul Sect had a purple soul ring.

The others were either white or yellow, and there was a weirdo one holding a knife, two white and one yellow.

They saw that although Xu Mingxi was young, he was dressed gorgeously and was obviously not someone to be trifled with.

"Sir, we are from the Wild Wolf Gang. Our leader is a Soul King-level warrior. We only want this woman. We don't want to interfere with you. How about that?"

Although he felt that the plot of a hero saving a beautiful girl was too cliché, Xu Mingxi still decided to save her.

The woman's clothes were torn into tatters during her escape, but it was still clear that the original fabric was definitely of good quality.

Xu Mingxi was just worrying about how he would be able to fit in here, but unexpectedly, someone would come and give him a pillow just when he felt sleepy.

"I'll count to three, get out."

Xu Mingxi directly released his martial soul and soul ring, and the four thugs looked at the pitch-black ten-thousand-year soul ring.

He had no intention of taking action at all, and didn't even dare to say a harsh word. He just ran away in shame.

The gang leader doesn’t even have a ten thousand year soul ring. How can we little Karamis afford to offend such a person?

Xu Mingxi lifted the woman onto the carriage and took a quick look at her. The wounds on her body were just minor scratches. She must have fainted because she was too tired and dehydrated.

Xu Mingxi picked up the kettle and gave her two sips, then summoned the Star Crown, shot out a star net to trap her, and ignored her.

As they were getting closer and closer to Dongji City, the woman had not woken up yet. Xu Mingxi removed the star network, moved her out of the car, took a basin of water from the storage ring and poured it on her face.

"This is, where is it?"

"Girl, you're awake. I just passed by and saw you lying here alone, seriously injured."

Chen Qinghuang looked at the blond man in front of her, a little confused about the current situation.

She only remembered that she seemed to have encountered bandits, and her grandmother Lingyi, who was protecting her, was stopped by a man in black who suddenly appeared. Then she was chased by the bandits and fled all the way. After that, she remembered nothing.

Could it be that this man saved me?
Chen Qinghuang blushed a little. It was not impossible for such a handsome guy.

"Girl, girl, do you want to change your clothes? It rained just now and you are all wet." Chen Qinghuang finally reacted and touched herself with both hands.

Fortunately, the clothes were fine, but they were quite wet. The ground next to them dried very quickly.

Chen Qinghuang borrowed the carriage from Xu Mingxi and took out clean clothes from the storage soul guide to change into.

"Thank you for saving me, sir."

"It's okay, but I saw you lying on the ground with wounds all over your body. Did something happen to you?"

Chen Qinghuang's feeling of grievance suddenly burst out. She didn't know how she was being chased. Those bandits were smelly and ugly, and she was scared to death.

"I, I don't know either. Yesterday..."

Xu Mingxi could see that this guy had never been out to experience anything, and he just spoke out all the information casually.

Chen Qinghuang, the 22-year-old daughter of the head of the Chen family in Dongji City, came back to visit her parents during the school holidays.

As Xu Mingxi expected, she rarely went out except at home and college.

Whether he was hanging out with classmates or acquiring spirit rings, he was well protected and had no idea how dangerous society was.

Xu Mingxi handed her some dry food. She had been hungry for most of the day and she took it and put it in her mouth. Xu Mingxi didn't have the heart to lie to her.

Just when Xu Mingxi wanted to know more information, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds suddenly came from a distance.

Looking closely, I saw that it was a team of more than a dozen black-armored cavalrymen, led by an old woman with a serious expression.

"Get up and check if those are your family members."

Chen Qinghuang stopped putting the cake into her mouth, stood up and looked around, suddenly jumping for joy.

"Grandma Lingyi, I'm here, over here."

The old woman naturally saw her as well. Her serious expression instantly became gentle. She walked over and carefully checked Chen Qinghuang. She finally breathed a sigh of relief when she found that there was nothing wrong.

Only then did she notice Xu Mingxi standing next to her, protecting Chen Qinghuang behind him and looking at him vigilantly.

"I don't know who the young master is."

"Oh, Grandma Lingyi, thanks to Brother Mingxi for saving me. He also gave me food."

Chen Qinghuang completely forgot that even if Xu Mingxi didn't give it to her, she had it in her soul guide.

When Lingyi heard this, her expression finally relaxed and a smile appeared on her face.

"Thank you sir for your help."

"It's okay, it's okay. I was on my way to Dongji City when I saw her lying on the ground."

"Young Master, you are going to Dongji City? Why don't we go together?"

"This is not good."

Xu Mingxi pretended to look at Chen Qinghuang in embarrassment, then looked at the black-armored cavalryman next to him.

"Brother Mingxi, what's the matter? Let's go together."

Chen Qinghuang was very outgoing and perhaps because of Xu Mingxi's face, she grabbed his arm and pulled him into the carriage.

After Ling Yi got rid of the enemy, she rushed back to Dongji City and sent out black-armored cavalry to search for people. Naturally, she couldn't drive a carriage.

Lingyi handed the horse to a cavalryman and took Chen Qinghuang into Xu Mingxi's carriage.
