Chapter 22 Feast your eyes
Zhang Qian had to run. He hadn't spent any money in many years and had long forgotten about money. Only after he ran three blocks away did the figure chasing him disappear from his sight.

He looked around and found that he had no idea where he had run to. Although the Great Zhou Dynasty was not a very powerful dynasty, the capital was built on a very grand scale. There were nine vertical and nine horizontal streets in the city, with eighteen wide streets, not counting the small streets.

He didn't dare to expose his cultivation level in the capital, so he could only wander around the city in a daze.

Half an hour later, Zhang Qian found that he was lost. Yes, he was lost!
If he could reveal his cultivation level, he would only need to fly up and look around to know where he was. However, there was a powerful enemy in the city that even his senior sister was afraid of. He did not dare to expose himself rashly. He could only wander along the spider-web-like streets and soon became confused.

Zhang Qian was also tired of wandering around. At first, he was surprised by the quaint scenery of the capital city, but after seeing it so many times, it became just like that. Turning the corner in front, Zhang Qian's eyes lit up. It was a towering gate tower.

"Prince Duan's Mansion!"

A plaque hangs high above the gate tower, with three large golden characters on it: Prince Duan's Mansion. Following the gate tower is a huge mansion covering hundreds of acres.

Arriving quietly at the wall of the palace, Zhang Qian immediately heard bursts of melodious string and bamboo music coming from across the wall. Along with the sounds of string and bamboo music, there were also bursts of women's laughter, which made him feel itchy in his heart.

Rolling his eyes, Zhang Qian leaped lightly, grabbed the wall, and looked into the palace.

"Hiss! Do I have such a blessing?"

Not far away, there is a clear lake about an acre in size. Next to the lake are springs emitting steam. These springs are all hot springs, and the bottom of each hot spring is inlaid with white jade pieces.

There were three or four women in these hot springs, soaking in the hot springs and playing around. One of the women made Zhang Qian's eyes pop out.

"Beautiful, so beautiful."

The woman had long hair, and at first glance, she looked like a goddess in the water, with a sweet smile and a pair of eyes like autumn water. Her every frown and smile exuded a sense of holiness.

"Is there such a beauty in Prince Duan's Mansion?"

{Ah... I really want to write something indecent, bah bah bah! Slap yourself in the face!}
Zhang Qian's eyes lit up as he watched. In his previous life, he had seen many strange, hideous and ugly monsters and demons. Now, seeing this scene, Zhang Qian's firm mind began to waver.

On the other side, Li Qingque looked at the scene in the mirror and gnashed his teeth. He wished he could reach out and pull Zhang Qian out of the mirror and give him a good beating.

"This guy... How can this little thief be so shameless!"

Li Qingque took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and was about to do something, but unexpectedly something happened on Zhang Qian's side.

Zhang Qian was enjoying the show, but unexpectedly, the woman he was watching suddenly shouted, "Who is it!"

Chi!
A snow-white ribbon appeared instantly, cutting through the void and flying straight towards Zhang Qian's head.

"She's a monk!"

Zhang Qian was shocked. He had been watching her for a long time but couldn't see any cultivation in this woman. He thought she was just a mortal. He didn't expect that this woman was actually a cultivator with profound cultivation.

Seeing the white ribbon rushing towards him with an extremely sharp sword intent, Zhang Qian felt guilty after all, so he did not block or counterattack, but turned around and ran away in a hurry.

"what!……"

"lecher!"

"Go to hell!"

"Someone come quickly!"

When he ran, the women went wild. The woman who controlled the silk ribbon waved her hand, and wrapped her delicate body with snow-white flowing sleeves. Then she moved and hurriedly chased after Zhang Qian.

The woman jumped onto the wall and saw Zhang Qian disappearing around the corner. Her eyes were red and she said to herself in grievance, "This man... this man is so brave. I'm going to kill him!"

Brush brush!
The woman's slender feet lightly tapped and flew across the roofs.

"Go to hell!"

Seeing that she was not far from Zhang Qian, the woman gave a delicate cry, and the snow-white ribbon circling at her side made a hissing sound and swept towards Zhang Qian.

Boom!

Zhang Qian didn't care about hiding his cultivation level, and hurriedly dodged. The woman's cultivation level was clearly at the Zhen Yuan realm! Several levels higher than his. As he dodged, the ribbon swept into the air and directly rolled a low house into dust!

"Where to run!"

Seeing Zhang Qian showing off his cultivation, the woman became even angrier, and the snow-white ribbon swung, splitting into hundreds of pure white sword qi.

Even though the magic weapon used by this woman is just a ribbon, this ribbon is actually a real sword weapon.

This treasure looks extremely fragile, but it can overcome hardness with softness. It is an ancient magic weapon given to her by her master. It is extremely precious, and the method of refining it has long been lost.

Hundreds of pure white sword energies, like hundreds of white snakes, twisted and turned, rapidly covering Zhang Qian.

"Oh no, this chick is already at the True Essence realm at such a young age. Judging from her appearance, she is likely a disciple of a major sect. How did I offend her?"

Zhang Qian secretly groaned, but was not in a hurry. He looked back and saw that the woman had a cute and naive face. He couldn't help but want to tease her. He blinked at her, and then a yellowish-brown light flashed and disappeared into the depths of the ground.

The woman blushed with shame, and when she saw Zhang Qian still teasing her before leaving, tears welled up in her eyes.

The earth escape trick was extremely shameless. Unless one was a powerful Jindan, there was no way to deal with Zhang Qian. The woman used her spiritual sense to sweep and saw that Zhang Qian had escaped hundreds of feet underground. She stomped her feet in anger.

Although she was in the True Yuan realm and was a true disciple of an ancient sect, she had many treasures in her hands and had practiced various wonderful methods. Unfortunately, she had no way to deal with Zhang Qian who was hiding so deep underground.

"Come out!" Boom boom boom...!
Hundreds of pure white sword energies bombarded the ground, creating large pits several feet deep, but they could not hurt Zhang Qian at all.

"See you!"

Waving his hand at the woman, Zhang Qian smiled and used the earth escape technique to get far away from here. But the woman was not willing to let him go, so she sent out her spiritual sense to closely follow Zhang Qian who was escaping underground.

"I don't believe you will stay underground forever!"

The woman's voice sounded a little sweet and naive, which made Zhang Qian secretly happy. However, he also knew that he could not defeat this woman with his current cultivation level, unless he used all his mental power to severely damage her mind. However, he felt guilty to begin with, and did not intend to hurt her, so he made up his mind not to go out.

After wandering underground for half an hour, Zhang Qian finally figured out the path in the capital and knew the location of the imperial palace.

However, the woman followed closely behind him. Although she could not hurt Zhang Qian, she used her spiritual sense to follow him closely and never gave up. She fought with Zhang Qian.

"What should I do? I have to complete my sister's request. This mirror must be of great importance. I can't let this girl see me placing the mirror. I have to think of a way to get rid of her."

The woman frowned when she saw Zhang Qian gradually approaching the palace. Although she was not afraid of the imperial power in the secular world, as the princess of Prince Duan's Mansion, she had to consider some influences. Moreover, there were monks worshipping in the palace, so she could not just go in rashly.

"Is this villain going to cause trouble in the palace? Humph, I'll go find Master. She will definitely find a way."

Thinking of this, she stopped chasing and turned around and flew away.

Zhang Qian sensed that the woman had stopped chasing him and he breathed a sigh of relief. Not daring to delay any longer, he quickly escaped to the basement of the palace. After thinking for a while, he put away the crystal mirror and turned around and left.

However, before he could leave the palace, a terrifying pressure suddenly appeared.

"get out!"

A majestic rebuke sounded, and it turned out to be a woman's voice.

What made Zhang Qian's heart sink even more was that the woman's pressure was comparable to that of his cheap senior sister. It was obvious that she was also a powerful being who had cultivated the Dharma image.

"run!"

He didn't dare to think about anything else and fled directly into the depths of the earth.

In the blink of an eye, he had escaped to a depth underground, with hot flowing magma appearing all around him.

Looking around with a frown, Zhang Qian did not feel safe at all even though he was thousands of feet underground. He understood deeply that facing a powerful being who had achieved the realm of Dharma, it was useless to escape thousands of feet underground. He gritted his teeth and continued to escape downwards, enduring the extremely hot heat from the molten lava around him.

Now that his cultivation had broken through and he had achieved the state of spiritual perfection, ten thousand feet underground was no longer the limit of his earth escape. His limit had increased by another five thousand feet.

Fifteen thousand feet deep underground, it is a complete sea of ​​magma. There is nothing else here but red, scorching hot magma and a pervasive evil spirit. This evil spirit is extremely poisonous and must not be contaminated by anyone.

"Run? Can you run? Tell me, who sent you here?"

However, what Zhang Qian did not expect was that even though he had escaped so deep, the woman with such terrifying imposing power could still see him with her spiritual sense, and directly transmit her spiritual sense to him, scolding him harshly.

"Senior, what I did just now was unintentional. Why are you forcing me like this?"

While shouting, Zhang Qian thought about it and used the water escape technique. A thin layer of ice covered his body, which finally dispelled some of the heat emanating from the magma sea below. Unfortunately, with his cultivation level, he was no match for the power of the earth, and the layer of ice melted at an extremely fast speed.

Zhang Qian could only keep using water escape to maintain this layer of ice.

"Unintentional? That's ridiculous. Get out of here right now! Don't make me use the killer!"

After waiting for a while, the woman did not hear any response from Zhang Qian, and she became angry.

brush!
She pointed a finger, and a supreme Dao power that commanded the world emanated. The ground beneath her feet actually split apart, and a bottomless crack appeared.

This large crack spread extremely quickly and extended towards where Zhang Qian was hiding.

"Master, you are so amazing. Is this the magical power you mentioned, the Whip Mountain and Move Stone?"

A woman who looked to be about 27 or 28 years old, dressed in snow-white clothes, nodded to her disciple. The woman's cultivation was terrifying, but there was a kind of stunning charm between her eyebrows. This charm was even more terrifying than Di Xiaoxian's. People would surrender at the sight of her and would want to kneel down at her feet to the death.

"Zhu'er, this magical power of whipping mountains and moving stones, I have just cultivated to the third level of the acquired realm. If I can cultivate to the fifth level, there is no need to go through so much trouble. With just a thought, I can split the entire capital city apart."

"Hehe, Master is the best!"

Lan Youzhu on the side clapped her hands. She has always deeply admired her master Shui Tianyi. In her impression, there is nothing her master can't do.

The big crack spread very quickly. Zhang Qian felt it immediately and saw the ground shaking above his head. How could he dare to delay? He had taken time to consult Li Qingque these days. He had already seen a lot and knew that this rapidly spreading crack was no trivial matter.

This is a terrifying magical power that, after being practiced to the ninth level of the acquired realm, can split the stars with a single blow. If one is affected by the crack, one will be immediately split in two and die.

brush!
He endured a layer of ice and used the earth escape technique to the limit. He didn't care that the hot magma was burning and twisting his hair. He moved sideways quickly, trying to get away from the capital.

"Master, he's trying to run away!"

"Humph! Don't worry, he can't run away. I want to see who sent him."

Shui Tianyi simply retracted her magical powers, and the huge crack on the ground immediately disappeared, as if it had never appeared. Her spiritual consciousness followed Zhang Qian's movement.

Zhang Qian didn't care about anything else. Seeing that no one was trying to stop him, he fled the capital directly to find his senior sister.
