My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife Chapter 1626 - Entering the Imperial City

“Second Miss.” walking to Qingqing Mu’s side, Qingfeng Li reached out and patted her shoulder. “Stop crying. The dead cannot be brought back to life. May your grief be eased.”

Hearing Qingfeng Li’s words, Qingqing Mu nodded. The sorrow in her eyes faded somewhat as she stood up.

Qingfeng Li and Li Yang helped Qingqing Mu gather the bodies of the fallen members of the Mu Family. They buried the bodies, then erected a tombstone.

Three days later.

“Second Miss,” Qingfeng Li said to Qingqing Mu. “Thank you for giving me a place to stay in Greater Luo City. But I need to leave now. I need to find my wife, Xue Lin.”

Hearing his words, a strange look came over Qingqing Mu’s eyes. There was a complexity of emotions in them; she did not know that Qingfeng Li had a wife.

“Big Brother Li.” She looked to him. “Although my family is no longer with me, their bodies are still here in Greater Luo City. I want to stay with them for a year, but after one year of mourning, I’ll go find you.”

Qingfeng Li nodded. Patting Qingqing Mu’s shoulder, he turned and prepared to leave.

But Qingqing Mu stopped him. “Big Brother Li,” she called out. “Thank you for saving my life, and for avenging my father and my family. This here is a token of my grat.i.tude, please accept it.”

With that, she produced an interspatial ring and pushed it into his hand. Qingfeng Li did not intend to take it at first, but Qingqing Mu insisted that he take it, saying that it was a gift of thanks.

Finally, Qingfeng Li had no choice but to take the interspatial ring. Then, with a wave, he left with Black Puppy and Li Yang.

On the highway outside Greater Luo City, the Black Puppy looked up at Qingfeng Li. “Where are we going now?”

“You’re at Eighth Level Spirit Emperor Realm now.” Qingfeng Li threw a glance at the Puppy. “Use your doggy nose and sniff around. See where all our people are, Xue Lin, Ruyan Liu, Little Apple, Sky Devouring Snake, the Fate Elder, Qixuan Zhenren, the Eastern Sea Prince, and the Third Princess. Then, we can go find them.”

Black Puppy nodded. “Although I’ve only reached Eighth Level Spirit Emperor Realm,” it said, “I can still only smell scents within a ten-thousand mile radius. Outside of that, I can’t detect anything unless I reach a higher level.”

Black Puppy stuck out its doggy nose, sniffing here and there before them.

A black glow emitted from its body, entering into the void and sensing for people they knew. He could sense up to ten-thousand miles around him.

A moment later, Black Puppy stopped. Its nose and eyes twitched as it stood, deep in thought. There was a hint of confusion in its eyes.

Seeing Black Puppy’s strange behavior, Qingfeng Li asked him. “Puppy, what’s wrong. Did you find them? Where are they?”

Black Puppy shook its head. “The people you mentioned, I didn’t sense any of them. They are probably outside the ten-thousand-mile radius,” it said. “But I sensed someone else.”

“Someone else? Who could that be?” Qingfeng Li asked.

Qingfeng Li remembered the people who had ascended to the Top Tier Planet with him very clearly. They were it. There had been no one else, so why would there be another person’s presence?

There was still uncertainty in the Black Puppy’s eyes. “I just smelled that person’s scent,” it said. “It smelled like Mengyao Xu.”

Hearing this, Qingfeng Li was shocked. He had never have thought that there would be Mengyao Xu’s presence here.

Qingfeng Li clearly recalled looking for Mengyao Xu back on Earth and not finding her. He had then mobilized the entire planet in the search to no avail.

Later, he had heard from some people that Mengyao Xu seemed to have been taken away by some mysterious person and disappeared from Earth. This had always been the greatest regret in his heart.

He was extremely close with that woman. They had experienced a lot together. She was his friend and confidant. And now, unbelievably, he had found her on Mars. Qingfeng Li felt a mix of emotions.

“Just now,” he spoke to Black Puppy beside him. “Where was the scent of Mengyao Xu that you smelled?”

Black Puppy held out a dog paw, pointing forward. “I smelled it directly in front of us,” it said. “It’s eight thousand miles from here.”

Qingfeng Li found a pa.s.sing self-cultivator and inquired about what was eight thousand miles ahead of here. The self-cultivator told him that, eight thousand miles ahead was the Imperial City of the country of Lingyun, Yunlan City.

Qingfeng Li nodded his thanks at the self-cultivator. Then, turning, he led Black Puppy and Li Yang toward the Imperial City of Lingyun.

Along the way, Qingfeng Li asked around with other self-cultivators. He now had a clearer understanding of the country of Lingyun.

The country of Lingyun was a country of self-cultivators. It had a population of one hundred million. Its Emperor, a powerful Third Level Supreme Realm Master, was also the most powerful master in the country. It was he who had built Lingyun from the ground up.

Wanting to find Mengyao Xu as quickly as possible, Qingfeng Li travelled quickly and did not waste any time on the road. One day later, they arrived at the Imperial City of the country of Lingyun, Yunlan City.

Qingfeng Li had been to Greater Luo City, he knew what a self-cultivator’s city looked like. But even it paled in comparison to the Yunlan City before their eyes.

Yunlan City of the Country of Lingyun was incredible. Its walls, made entirely of meteor stone, stood at over a hundred meters tall.

It had to be said that on Earth, even a tiny piece of meteor stone would be fought over by self-cultivators to the death. But in Lingyun, there was a full mountain-range of the stuff.

The stone was cut, melted, casted, and finally put together into a ma.s.sive city wall.

Outside of Yunlan City’s defensive meteor stone walls, there was still a ma.s.sive defensive array formation. Having studied arrays himself, Qingfeng Li could clearly sense that this was a Supreme Cla.s.s Array formation. Only a master of the Supreme Realm could decrypt it.

Of course, Qingfeng Li could as well, but there was no need. He was here to find Mengyao Xu, not to stir up a fuss.

The gates of the Imperial City were, too, made from meteor stone. The entire thing was jet black, standing over a hundred meters tall, a couple of dozen meters thick. Most self-cultivators wouldn’t be able to break though these gates, but Qingfeng Li was an exception.

Each self-cultivator who enters the Imperial City needed to pay ten vitality stones, a full ten times the cost of entering Greater Luo City.

Not wanting to cause trouble, QIngfeng Li took ten high-grade vitality stones from the interspatial ring that Qingqing Mu had given him and threw them to the guards. Then, he walked inside.

The Imperial City was a prosperous place; its streets were all paved in third-grade meteor stone; these were fifty meters wide, enough for five horse-drawn carriages to travel side-by-side.

To either side of the meteor stone streets stood a forest of tall buildings. These were elixir stores, spiritual treasure stores, weapons stores, spirit herb stores, among many others.
