Chapter 595 The Four Elders

Three days later in the afternoon, Xiao Chen finally arrived at the Emperor State, which is located west of the Central Plains. The Emperor State was inherited from the ancient times. It was the location of the imperial palace in the past. It was destroyed several times due to wars and disasters. Later, it was rebuilt several times. It was not until the chaos of immortals and demons more than 3,000 years ago that the Emperor State completely abandoned the imperial system and changed the imperial palace in the east of the city into the city lord's mansion.

For this reason, the Emperor State is now also called the Emperor State City. However, to this day, a stone statue of a hundred feet high still stands in the city center. It is said that it was an ancient emperor who established the Emperor State in the past.

The entire Emperor State is vast and boundless, with moats on all sides. There are more than 13,000 defensive sword formations in the city. If these more than 13,000 sword formations are activated at the same time, even masters of the Cave Ruins Realm may not be able to attack. It is far from comparable to the Jiangzhou City that Xiao Chen passed by before.

Such a grand ancient imperial city is almost equivalent to half of a small cultivation country in the East Continent. However, the imperial state has long abandoned the imperial system, and there are only generations of city lords. The city lord of this generation, named Jiang Yutian, has also reached the level of a god.

At this moment, in the city lord's mansion in Dongcheng District, there are carved railings and jade bricks everywhere, and the building is quite magnificent. The city lord's mansion of the imperial state naturally has some shadows of the former imperial palace.

At this time, in the hall, the whole hall is magnificent, and at the head of the hall, there is a middle-aged man with white hair in a red robe sitting there, with maids standing on both sides, quietly and silently. As for the hall below, there are about dozens of civil and military officials standing on both sides, all with their heads down and silent.

The middle-aged man with white hair on the head of the hall also frowned, his face full of worry. This person is none other than the city lord of the imperial state, Jiang Yutian.

After a long time, a white-haired old man in purple stood out from the hall on the left and said, "The Taishi Dao Sect has not only borrowed the city center area to hold the sword-fighting meeting, but also wants us to help capture Xiao Yichen. What if Xiao Yichen really comes in three days? In the opinion of the city lord, what should we do?"

"How should I know!"

Jiang Yutian flicked his sleeves, his face was very unhappy, he stood up from the chair, looked at the people below, pointed outside the hall and said, "Don't you know who Xiao Yichen is? His master is Fairy Miaoyin, one of the seven masters of Xuanqing, and his master is the head of Xuanqing Sect, Qingxuan Zhenren. Who dares to provoke him? Do you dare to go?"

Hearing this, the people in the halls on both sides lowered their heads and remained silent. At the beginning, even Tianmen couldn't take this person, so they were even more afraid to avoid him. How dare they provoke such a person?

"Hmph!"

Jiang Yutian brushed his sleeves and sat back down. No wonder he was in such a bad mood these days. He originally thought that the Emperor State was far away from the prosperous land of Xianyuan Middle Earth, so he could stay away from the troubles of the world. Whether it was good or evil, it had nothing to do with their Emperor State. Who would have thought that the Taishi Dao Sect would come to the door again and drag them into this bottomless vortex.

Jiang Yutian really didn't want to lead the Emperor State into the open and secret struggles of the various sects in the Five Realms of Xianyuan, but now, he was really in a dilemma. He didn't want to offend the Taishi Dao Sect, and he didn't want to provoke Xiao Chen.

But these days, many cultivators have come to the Emperor State, including people from various sects in the Five Realms of Xianyuan, and wandering people, all of whom came for the "Sword Discussion Meeting" opened by the Taishi Dao Sect last month.

The hall fell silent again. After a while, the purple-robed old man said, "Since this matter is beyond our control, why don't we ask the four great elders to help us?"

"The four great elders..."

Jiang Yutian concentrated his mind. The four great elders were far superior to him, but it was difficult to deal with them at the moment. He said, "The four great elders have not come out for a hundred years. They are meditating on the mystery of immortality. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to disturb them at this time..."

When a cultivator comprehends the mystery of immortality, he is probably comprehending the way to become an immortal. However, it is harder for mortals to cultivate immortality than to ascend to heaven. How can it be that easy to become an immortal?

At this time, above the city of Emperor State, there were only white clouds, and there were floating islands looming in the middle. These islands hanging in the sky were all the defensive spiritual formations of Emperor State. It was extremely cold above the thousands of miles of clouds, and ice crystals condensed in the clouds. But in the depths of the clouds, there was a floating island. The island was full of flowers and grass, as if it was a fairyland.

This place is invisible to mortals, let alone going up. Only the pavilions and towers on the island were looming, like a fairy palace, with a different kind of elegance.

At this time, in a pavilion, there were four white-bearded old men sitting in the pavilion. The four of them were full of fairy spirits, just like the gods in the sky.

They were the four great elders of Emperor State. How could Emperor State really not have masters sitting in the chaotic world of immortals and demons?

However, the four great elders had already seen through the affairs of the world and were only interested in becoming immortals. If it weren't for the life and death of the Imperial State, they would not have gone down.

This time, the people of the Taishi Dao Sect came to the Imperial State. Although the four of them no longer cared about worldly affairs, they knew this matter very well in their hearts.

"This boy... came in."

At this moment, an old man in green suddenly opened his eyes, and the other three also opened their eyes. The four looked at each other without saying a word. Obviously, the person the old man in green just mentioned was Xiao Chen.

Although the four of them didn't care about worldly affairs, they knew very well who came to the state.

After a while, the old man in green said, "As long as he doesn't turn the Imperial State upside down, let him go."

Obviously, there was more of a sense of helplessness in this sentence. After hearing this, the other three people also nodded. Even if their cultivation levels were higher than the four of them, it did not mean that for them, there was no one else in the world. Any fear, as Jiang Yutian said just now, even if he is not afraid of Xiao Chen himself, he must be somewhat afraid of Fairy Xuanqing Miaoyin.

At this time in Nancheng District, Xiao Chen had just entered the city when he sensed a ray of spiritual consciousness passing over him. His own spiritual consciousness was also very sharp, so he could naturally detect this ray of divine consciousness passing by him. , comes from the high altitude of thousands of miles of clouds.

However, his spiritual consciousness could not penetrate into the high altitude. It seemed to be blocked by a layer of restrictions. At this time, he stopped and looked towards the high altitude. He could only see a layer of clouds and no sign of the immortal. He thought to himself This imperial state turned out to be a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. The owner of the divine consciousness just now must not be inferior to him in cultivation.

Just as he was concentrating, a laughing voice suddenly sounded in front of him, "Master, do you want to stay in a hotel? Many people have come to the Imperial State in the past two days. If it is later, there will be no room."

When Xiao Chen came to his senses, he found that he had walked outside a restaurant, and a waiter from the restaurant was greeting him.
