The City Lord that Song Yun spoke of was naturally the City Lord of the Underground King City, Ji Hongling.

When Ji Hongling saw Mingyu's performance that day, she had already made up her mind to meet Mingyu once. If she could get on good terms with the genius with great potential in this empire, it would definitely be extremely beneficial for her.

Just a week ago, Ji Hongling came to visit Ming Yu, only to be informed that she was still cultivating in seclusion. She silently left, and in the next few days it would not be good for her to come again, so she sent Song Yun to scout.

As long as Ming Yu came out, she would immediately invite him.

It was also because of this that Song Yun had come to visit her for six days. Every day, he would give her some new gifts, making her feel a bit embarrassed.

"Oh, Yu'er, you can go now. Go and come back as soon as possible. When you come back, I'll make you a black chicken soup with lotus seeds." After receiving the gift for six days, Yang Xuerong felt that Deacon Song was truly sincere, so she gave Ming Yu a suggestion.

As Ming Yu saw Yang Xuerong's smiling face, he guessed that there must be a lot of people in the Underground Imperial City trying to curry favor with Yang Xuerong. For his mother's sake, he would go.

Furthermore, since they knew of his identity as the 17th Prince, the Underground Imperial City can't do anything about it.

It was impossible for anyone to dare to assassinate him in the near future. As for the mysterious and special gift that Song Yun had mentioned, Ming Yu did not think too much about it, because he did not know that the City Lord was a mysterious and enchanting woman. He only thought that it was a gift.

But in actuality, the mysterious and special gift that Song Yun had mentioned was not that simple …

"Alright, lead the way."

With that said, Ming Yu left the Falling Flower Hall, and Enforcer Song nodded his head repeatedly. Once Ming Yu got on the carriage, he rode it quickly towards the direction of the Underground Imperial City.

Along the way, Ming Yu kept repeating in her mind the practice method of the Absolute Jade Soul Palm, unknowingly entering a meditative state.

Just as he was getting a better understanding of the palm technique, the carriage came to a halt.

Song Yun respectfully opened the curtains of the carriage and gestured, "Your Highness the 17th prince has arrived."

Ming Yu got off the horse carriage and followed Song Yun into the Underground King City. He remembered the last time he entered the Underground Imperial City, he was still alone, but now he had entered under Song Yun's care.

The underground palace was still as noisy as it was in the past. The battle on the arena continued without end, and the sounds of collisions could be heard. Seeing this, Ming Yu couldn't help but smile.

Just three months ago, he was still fighting on this stage. But today, the City Lord of the Underground Imperial City had directly invited him to meet her, giving him the highest treatment.

As expected, things had changed.

Under Song Yun's lead, many people looked over and were shocked to discover that the one leading the way was Enforcer Song.

Song Yun possessed the strength of the eighth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage. He was a deacon with deep experience in the Underground King City, and this proud old man, who usually held his head high and spoke with a smile, was currently speaking with a slightly hunched back beside this youth.

What was even more excessive was that the youth didn't seem to care about Enforcer Song …

"Who the hell is this person?"

Ah!" I got it, he... He is the prince who defeated Ye Xi in the competition a few days ago, Ming Yu!

"It's him?" Someone exclaimed, "Look, Deacon Song is bringing him towards the underground passage, that is..." The city lord's residence, right? "

Someone gulped down a mouthful of saliva and muttered: "That should be the bedroom set up by the City Lord at the bottom of the Underground King City right … "What do you think the mayor wants him to do?"

"That's the City Lord's bedroom. Tell me, what does the City Lord want him to do? Can you really not say anymore?" The other man said with jealousy and envy.

"…"

Although these discussions were very soft, they were still heard by Ming Yu, who was extremely sensitive. He couldn't help but smile faintly. It was just a man showing his face, so there was no need to make a fuss about nothing.

Under Song Yun's lead, Ming Yu walked towards the lower level of the underground passage. As they went deeper, the clamoring noises on the stage could no longer be heard. The only thing left was a winding, narrow tunnel decorated with crimson lights.

Finally, Ming Yu stood at the end of the tunnel, and saw a crimson red gate in front of them. The gate was made of crimson cloud wood, and the surrounding of the gate was inlaid with exquisite and enchanting little golden patterns. At the top of the gate, a black "Ling" character was written.

Enforcer Song lightly knocked three times in front of the door and respectfully said: "City Lord, His Highness the 17th Prince has already arrived for you."

"Got it, you can go now."

A small and elegant female voice sounded. Enforcer Song immediately responded with a "yes" before slowly pushing open the crimson door. He gestured a "please" to Ming Yu, and only after seeing Ming Yu enter did he gently close the door and leave.

So the mayor was a woman?

Ming Yu was slightly surprised, but as soon as he entered the room, he immediately smelled a delicate fragrance. It was a faint sweetness, with a faintly discernible scent of gardenia. Just a breath of it was enough to calm one's mind and make one feel intoxicated.

The room in front of him could not be considered to be spacious. It was only an ordinary size, but the decorations were extremely exquisite.

The main hues in the living room were light red and black. On the round table in the middle of the room, there was a box of expensive rouge and water powder, as well as a mirror with a red frame.

It seemed to be a beautiful woman, but why did she bring me directly to her room? Ming Yu thought.

"Prince Seventeen, you rest in the guest room for a while. I'm still bathing, so I'll be right out." The voice came again, but it was no longer elegant. Instead, it was soft and pleasant to the ear.

Only then did Ming Yu notice the light splashing sounds coming from the nearby bathroom. Through the curtain at the side of the living room, he could clearly see the bathroom on the other side.

The bathroom window was covered by a red veil. The slim and alluring back of a woman was reflected on the red veil. It was extremely alluring.

Ming Yu indifferently swept a glance before retracting his gaze. He had a nagging feeling that something was wrong.

Just as he was pondering, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw two or three light looking undergarments carelessly thrown on the black leather seat at the side of the living room. It seemed that the woman had accidentally landed here before she had time to clean them …

What is he doing, causing trouble?

Ming Yu's eyebrows rose. He had also guessed most of the woman's motives.

At this time, the woman behind the red gauze stood up. After briefly wiping her body, she wore a slightly loose dark red robe. A layer of red gauze covered her face as she slowly walked over.

Her hair was not completely dry yet, and her entire body was emitting a faint fragrance. Her skin was white, and when paired with her bright red clothes, she had a lazy look.

"I didn't expect the mayor to be so interesting. He even had to wear a veil when they met to maintain a sense of mystery." Ming Yu smiled faintly.

The woman covered her mouth as she gently laughed, her quiet and hollow voice resounding once again, "I am afraid that His Highness will be unable to control himself once he sees my true appearance."

When it was necessary, a woman didn't mind Mingyu seeing her true appearance. The moment she saw her face, Mingyu would be subdued, but she wasn't in a hurry. She wanted Mingyu to slowly fall into her soft spot until she completely forgot about herself, unable to extricate herself.

"It sounds so awesome." Ming Yu was completely unaware of the woman's plan, so he quipped.

"Cluck, cluck …"

The woman laughed lightly and said, "Prince Seventeen, I am Ji Hongling, the master of the Underground Imperial City. I am very happy to be able to meet you today, and I may not make it in time to prepare.

After saying that, Ji Hongling extended her tender and fair right hand and gently held Ming Yu's hand.

Mingyu's symbolic handshake felt warm and tender, smooth and silky, but he only shook it for a moment before letting it go. He cleared his throat and said, "I wonder why Miss Ji has brought me here?"

From the start till now, Ji Hongling had never revealed her purpose of coming here. Mingyu believed that Ji Hongling definitely wouldn't be like those superficial singing and dancing geisha who only invited her over because of those things.

"Hehe, the reason I've invited you here today is to express how much I admire you."

Ji Hong Ling chuckled. "Ever since I saw you in the competition, I've found you very attractive. Therefore, I've specially prepared three gifts for you. I hope you won't mind."

As he said this, he flicked his wrist, and a black ring-shaped item appeared in his hand.

"The first gift is called Black Gold Wrist Protector, please do not underestimate it."

Ji Hongling introduced the bracelet of holding. "This bracelet of holding is made of black gold. It is extremely heavy and tough. Not only is it able to protect your arm, but it is also a storage device. This place can store items."

Ji Hong Ling put the black gold wristband on her arm. The black gold wristband was wrapped around her wrist according to the size of her wrist. Below the wristband was a black four-edged star button, which was where the items were stored.

"Your majesty, don't think that it is very small and small. In fact, it can hold a hundred square meters of things, and the sealed space inside is extremely stable. It is a treasure that you would only wish for."

As Ji Hongling spoke, she once more took off her black gold wristband and handed it over to Mingyu.

Ming Yu used the Black Gold Wrist Protector to examine it, and found that what Ji Hong Ling said was true.

This sort of storage bag could hold a lot of things, and it was also very stable. It was a very valuable treasure, it would need at least a million black jades to buy!

Ji Hongling continued to laugh. "And the next item is this one."

As she spoke, Ji Hong Ling took out a flying knife that was glowing with a cold light and placed it on the table. The flying knife was actually divided into nine!

The knife itself is made of black iron essence, it is light and thin, it can cut through metal like mud, I will send you the method of manipulation, as long as you inject your spirit into the internal lines of the knife, you will be able to master these nine throwing knives in the future.

Ming Yu carefully looked at the nine throwing knives in front of her, and saw that each of them was incomparably bright, and had exquisite engravings on them. Inside the blade, there were also some engravings that couldn't be seen on the surface.

These kinds of patterns were very particular. Only the users could control the throwing knives with their mind according to the control method. Therefore, other than the controller himself, no one else could control the throwing knives.

Although this flying knife looked light and agile, it was actually extremely heavy. Even with Ji Hongling's eighth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage cultivation, she was unable to completely control this Bi Luo flying knife.

Otherwise, Ji Hongling definitely wouldn't have given the Skyfall Flying Daggers to Mingyu.

One had to know that the Skyfall Flying Dagger was a ninth level mystical weapon!

Ming Yu said with a profound look, "Then Miss Ji, what is the last item?"

Ji Hongling pursed her lips into a smile. "Your Highness, don't be in such a hurry. This little girl will now introduce the last item."

As he spoke, he waved his hand once more, taking out a yellowed piece of parchment from his storage ring. He then spread it out on the table in front of Ming Yu.

"This is …"

"This is a map fragment of the Ten Thousand Beast Blood World."

Ming Yu was startled. How did Ji Hongling know about the Ten Thousand Beast Blood World? Could it be that she knew Duke Ming's intentions?

In fact, Ming Yu was overthinking things. Ji Hongling did not know that he was going to the Ten Thousand Beast Blood World. It was because there was a peerless sword hidden within the fragment of the Ten Thousand Beast Blood World!

Ji Hong Ling pointed at the upper left corner of the map with her red nail polish and slowly said, "Although I've heard that the Ten Thousand Beasts Blood World is vast and boundless, this is only a fragment map, but the location where this sword is hidden is recorded here."

"Five years ago, this little girl's uncle came out from the Ten Thousand Beast Blood World. However, he was severely injured, and died in less than half a year."

Ji Hong Ling slowly explained, "Before he died, he gave me this Jade Dew Flying Dagger and told me that this Jade Dagger was only there as an auxiliary function. The true core is the sword on the map."

Ji Hong Ling's expression was extremely serious as she continued, "Rumor has it that an ancestor created a divine sword. Because he had killed countless sinful and evil demons, it was the sword of justice. At the same time, because it was stained with blood, it was filled with an intense death aura and it was also the sword of death!"

Ming Yu's expression slowly darkened. "So, the thing on this map is the sword you were referring to?"

"That's right, it's precisely this sword. Its name is Yellow Springs."
