Chapter 176: Soul Severing Realm



As the carriage carried the majestic insignia of the Imperial Family, everyone made way for them. Even the guards didn't check and simply let them enter.

Although they were surprised that the carriage didn't have an entourage, they didn't ask anything. It wasn't their place to question the Imperial Family.

Shen Yu smiled and stood up.

"Guess it's time for me to leave."

He then looked at Qing Zhiyan and chuckled. She had put on her disguise again, which mostly involved putting pimples on her face, which ruined her beauty. Her curves were also hidden in the clothes properly.

If anyone saw her current appearance, they wouldn't say she was a princess. Only her dress fit the regal image of the Imperial Family.

However, he didn't care about those things. He simply leaned down and kissed her juicy lips. She was startled at first but quickly began to enjoy the kiss.

The sound of their sloppy kiss and light moans filled the carriage. Fortunately, they had a sound cancellation rune formation, so nobody would hear the moans of their princess.

Shen Yu held her slender waist, which was like the branch of a willow tree, making him extremely careful. He held her gently, afraid that he would break her.

He liked her reaction the most as she tried to imitate him to return the pleasure she was getting. Happiness surged within his heart as he kissed her even more passionately, while still keeping it gentle.

After having his fill, Shen Yu backed away and, after giving her a kiss on her forehead, he vanished from there, leaving behind a dazed Qing Zhiyan.

She licked her lips, remembering what Xiao Lan told her. She touched her lips with her fingers and thought.

'She was right. This...is just too good. But it's also very embarrassing. Aghh! Why is my heart beating so fast?'

He sighed and focused on other parts of the city. After all, the towering buildings were for others, not for influential clans and sects.

He turned to his right, looking far into the distance as the city was really huge. It covered more than a hundred square kilometers, and if he didn't have his cultivation, he wouldn't even be able to see the ends of it properly.

As his gaze passed through several compounds and manors of influential clans of the capital city, he rubbed his chin. Every single one of these clans was powerful and enough to make an impact on the Empire.

No wonder they were allowed to make their base here in the capital. Not everyone deserved the dense Qi, after all.

Just as he was about to withdraw his gaze, he noticed a small artificial mountain in the middle of a river. When he looked closer, he noticed that the mountain was actually floating above the big river.

It was shaped like a hand and looked as if an ancient devil were trying to claw his way out of hell, only to be stopped by the heavens, which made its hand freeze in the river.

"Hmm, the river is also Qi-rich, so they actually use it as the main sect's resource. Hmm, interesting. Guess this is one of those sects under the Empire. I'll have to visit it later."

He smiled and then turned to his left, and once again saw the influential clans living in giant manors. Each one gave off an aura of superiority, and given the number of powerhouses Shen Yu detected from these clans, he knew they had the right to feel that.

The people in the capital city were really above everyone else in the Empire. That thought reminded him of something.

"Although the Major Sects are here, they didn't choose the best place for Qi, and this whole plateau is filled with the Empire's faction. Something doesn't feel right."

[I know what you're thinking, but don't forget that they have support from the outside world, so they can let the Empire have an edge over this. This would only make the balance perfect and also show the populace that the Empire is in control of everything when it's the opposite.]

Shen Yu nodded and said.

"Yes, and I highly doubt they only have Nascent Soul Realm experts. No way those arrogant ones would let the Empire be filled with only Nascent Soul Realm experts."

[Hmm, you're right on that. When you were tracking the Skinwalker, you actually subconsciously spread your spirit across the whole Empire. But since you weren't paying attention to it, you didn't notice, but I did. There are Soul Severing Realm cultivators here in the Empire, which should be impossible.]
