Chapter 286 The Grandeur of Central Plains
Ding Yi was feeling the force of the palm strike when he suddenly saw the soul flee in an instant, without the slightest hesitation.
"..."
Ding Yi was speechless. He hadn't even made a move yet, and you were already in such a hurry.
A short while later, Ding Yi heard a commotion coming from the courtyard in front of him, and then a gray-clad servant rushed out from the porch.
The servant was so frightened when he saw Ding Yi that he screamed and ran back in a panic, shouting that there were still people around.
Ding Yi frowned, but instead of following, he bent down and began to touch the corpse.
I'm unfamiliar with this place and have no money. How am I supposed to survive?
However, Ding Yi was soon disappointed again.
These people didn't have a single copper coin on them. He even found a few bags of lime powder, but he couldn't find anything of value.
"He's a professional killer."
After touching it for a while, this thought suddenly came to Ding Yi's mind.
Just then, a series of noisy footsteps approached from afar. Ding Yi turned his head and saw a man in official robes walking out surrounded by a crowd.
When He Weimin saw Ding Yi in the courtyard, he felt quite strange.
The young man was dressed in clothing from another region, and judging from his fearless demeanor amidst the corpses, he must be someone of considerable importance.
Thinking of this, He Weimin spoke first and asked:
"May I ask who you are? Did you intervene to stop these assassins?"
Ding Yi did not answer, but instead said:
"Are these assassins? To kill an official like you?"
Ding Yi had worked as a patrol officer and knew that officials' uniforms were embroidered with special patterns.
The man in front of them was wearing a garment embroidered with a deer, indicating that he was a fourth-rank official, which was quite impressive.
This is also why Ding Yi is puzzled.
Who would dare to lay a hand on a fourth-rank official?
However, He Weimin quickly cleared up Ding Yi's doubts.
“This brave man is truly skilled. These assassins must have been hired by my enemy faction.”
He Weimin sighed and said.
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi looked around at the surrounding houses and realized that he had been teleported to the home of a high-ranking official. Even more absurdly, he had inexplicably helped him thwart an assassination attempt!
Thinking of this, Ding Yi immediately smiled and said:
"Then I won't bother you any longer. Hope to meet again someday."
After saying that, Ding Yi turned and walked out of the courtyard.
Those around He Weimin immediately tried to stop him, but He Weimin glared at them and stopped them.
After Ding Yi left, the person next to him asked:
"Sir, it's curfew now. This person appeared here without a sound. Are we just going to let him go like this?"
He Weimin slowly said upon hearing this:
"Even if he's hiding something, can you stop him? Fool, look at his clothes, they're not even torn. I suspect this assassin's retreat is related to him!!"
Upon hearing this, the bystanders were immediately startled and quickly bowed, saying:
"Your Excellency has great foresight; I am ashamed of my own shortcomings."
He Weimin snorted coldly upon hearing this, then looked at another attendant beside him and asked indifferently:
"Have you memorized their appearances? Draw a picture of them later and send it to the Inspectorate to see if we can find any information."
The man nodded quickly and then hurriedly left.
On the other side, after Ding Yi left the mansion, he quickly burrowed into the ground, but he soon discovered that the entire underground was covered by an array, and he couldn't use earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic or magic) here.
"Damn it, they're not really going to take us all the way to the capital, are they?"
Ding Yi was startled, but quickly calmed down. He was now at the Lu Xian Realm, and could even stroll around the emperor's harem garden. What was there to be afraid of in the imperial city?
Thinking of this, Ding Yi immediately felt relieved, but then fell into the next question: Where should he sleep tonight?
Forget it, I'll just make do for one night and we'll talk about it tomorrow.
Ding Yi shook his head, then quickly left the place, found a tree at random, lay down, closed his eyes slightly, and continued to temper his body with spiritual energy.
Nothing happened that night, and dawn broke quickly.
That night, the quiet streets were occasionally punctuated by the sound of orderly footsteps.
The fact that the residence of the Vice Minister of Revenue was attacked by assassins quickly alarmed the entire Inspectorate.
The police rushed to He Weimin's residence overnight to conduct an autopsy and investigation. Moreover, they had received a strict order to apprehend the assassins as soon as possible.
As for the news of the mysterious person who appeared in the He residence last night, it has also been classified as top secret, and the entire inspection office has begun to work together to uncover the truth about what happened last night.
At this moment, Ding Yi arrived at a restaurant, found a seat at random, and listened to the conversations of the diners around him.
If you're looking for the best place to get information, this restaurant is undoubtedly the place to be.
Within half an hour, Ding Yi had obtained a lot of useful information.
It turned out that this really was the imperial city, and he had arrived at the place that warriors longed for most: Zhongzhou.
“Zhongzhou, Zhongzhou, no wonder it’s a safe place. If someone were to worship a god here, they’d be drowned in spit.”
Ding Yi shook his head, and then began to think about his next plan.
It is obvious that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
The reason he was forced to flee Qingzhou was not because he was not strong enough, but because he was unable to hide.
Although one can use lifespan to enhance something and hide it, who knows if the next god will have new detection methods to find him?
As long as we can survive, nothing else matters.
Having fought with Bai Shen for so many years, Zhongzhou might be able to find a way to hide. At the very least, learning more about Bai Shen's immortal techniques would be a good option.
So the question now is, where can we find such a suitable place?
Ding Yi stroked his chin, thinking hard, but still couldn't come up with a good solution. So he could only sit there, staring blankly at the scenery outside the window.
It must be said that the prosperity of this imperial city exceeded Ding Yi's imagination.
Towering pavilions were everywhere, and these hundred-meter-high pavilions made Ding Yi feel as if he had returned to Earth.
But the strangest thing is that these pavilions have wooden platforms hanging on the outside, like elevators.
These wooden platforms are covered with chains, with only a section of the chains protruding from the outside, while the rest is embedded in the outer walls of the pavilion. It is unclear what principle allows these wooden platforms to move freely up and down.
The people on the street were all beaming with joy, a kind of smile Ding Yi had never seen in Qingzhou.
Thinking back to Qingzhou, Ding Yi suddenly felt that the people here had a more human touch, as if they were normal people, while those he had seen before were just numb walking corpses.
But what surprised Ding Yi even more was the grand spectacle of martial arts here.
In just a short while, Ding Yi noticed several powerful cultivators at the Divine Travel Realm passing by, and there were countless cultivators at the Yuanqiao Realm. Blood Exchange Masters, who were rare in other states, were commonplace here and no one paid any attention to them.
This left Ding Yi somewhat unprepared.
At this moment, Ding Yi felt more and more that coming to Zhongzhou was a good outcome, after all, he might be able to find the path for the martial artist here.
Everyone knows that once a martial artist enters the realm of immortals, it becomes extremely difficult for them to advance any further. But Ding Yi understands that as long as he is given a chance, he can perfectly turn that chance into reality.
"Perhaps I can find a complete lineage of sects here?"
Ding Yi's eyes suddenly lit up when he thought of this.
