Chapter 103

The next Tower of Trial session began.

Meanwhile, Ying Wuji left Zuiyuexuan and headed towards the imperial city. He intended to find Mr. Bai and inquire about how he replenished his vitality. Out of prudence, Ying Wuji brought along a space ring containing all his possessions. He was determined to succeed on this trip.

Shortly after, Ying Wuji arrived at the front gate of the imperial city.

The city appeared majestic, with vermilion-colored walls reaching tens of meters high and emanating a dignified spiritual aura, indicating the presence of a formation.

Dozens of armored figures stood by the main entrance, the imperial guards. Each exuded a tyrannical aura, all being strong in the realm of souls. The leader, Xia Yu, even possessed the strength of the 9th grade of Guiyuan, serving as the commander of the Imperial Guard.

"Stop right there!" Xia Yu shouted upon seeing Ying Wuji approaching, prompting the guards to brandish their weapons and focus their attention on him. Even if an ordinary Guiyuan realm cultivator faced this force, they would likely be overwhelmed. However, against Ying Wuji at the pinnacle of Asking Dao, these guards stood little chance, even if they combined their efforts.

However, Ying Wuji had no intention of causing trouble. He calmly announced, his voice resonating with authority, "Ying Wuji, Senior Tutor of Lingyun College, is here to visit."

His aura of the questioning realm further reinforced his statement, causing the guards to pale. Lingyun Academy was a renowned power in the Tianlan Continent, and they were aware of its prestige.

Xia Yu's expression changed abruptly. Despite not recognizing Ying Wuji, he couldn't deny the formidable aura emanating from him. Ordering the guards to lower their weapons, Xia Yu respectfully stated, "Your Excellency, please wait here. Let me go and report."

Despite the urgency, Xia Yu maintained his composure, a sign of his admirable temperament.

Ying Wuji nodded, acknowledging the response.

As Xia Yu hurried to report, he found that Ji Wuhui was not in his usual place. Upon inquiring, a court lady informed him that both Ji Wuhui and Mr. Bai had left the imperial city early that morning.

Perplexed by this development, Xia Yu returned to Ying Wuji and relayed the information. Despite this, Ying Wuji remained unfazed, expressing his intent to wait for Ji Wuhui's return.

Closing his eyes, Ying Wuji stood there in quiet patience.

Observing the situation, Xia Yu couldn't help but feel a headache. What was Ying Wuji's purpose in standing directly in front of the gate of the imperial city? Nevertheless, he knew it wasn't his place to drive away someone of such strength. As onlookers began to gossip, Xia Yu faced a dilemma.
