674 Sky Dragon City_1

"Dragon City is under martial law? What does that mean?" Gu Yuena shouted.

"It means that during this time, Dragon City can only let people out, not in. You should go back!" the Armored General replied.

"General, I have the City Lord's token, can't there be an exception?" Ye Zixi took out a shiny, gleaming token and said.

Seeing the token, the Armored General immediately leapt down from the city wall, knelt reverently, and said, "I, Ares, the gatekeeper, pay my respects to the City Lord!"

Obviously, seeing the token was as good as seeing the City Lord.

"Open the gate!" Ye Zixi replied.

"Yes! Open the gate!" As soon as the Armored General's voice fell, the massive gates slowly opened. Ares personally led the interstellar battleship into a port, and soon after, everyone disembarked from the warship.

"Ares, you just said that Dragon City is under martial law, why?" Chu Qin looked at Ares and asked.

"My lord!" Ares replied, "This is an order personally given by the trusted City Lord, because Your Highness the Princess has gone missing!"

"Your Highness the Princess? Xiao Xiyue?" Ye Zixi hurriedly asked.

"Yes, in Dragon City, there is only Princess Xixue!" Ares replied.

"What happened?" Ye Zixi pressed for answers.

"Not long ago, the old City Lord disappeared unexpectedly, and Xiao Ling ascended as the City Lord, but Princess Xixue has vanished!" Ares replied.

"How could you lose someone!" Ye Zixi exclaimed angrily, "Is there any news now?"

It was clear that Ye Zixi and Xiao Xiyue shared a special relationship, having lived and eaten together like best friends for ten years.

"You need to ask the City Lord about this matter," Ares replied.

"That bastard Xiao Ling actually lost Xixue! Take me to him now!" Ye Zixi trembled with rage as she spoke.

"Yes!" Ares said respectfully.

Chu Qin then walked up to Ye Zixi, wrapped his arms around her, and comforted her gently, "Don't worry, Xiao Xiyue will be fine!"

The luxury of Sky Dragon City was on par with that of Origin City, but perhaps due to the martial law, the streets were filled with soldiers in golden armor, with no other civilians around.

Ares led Ye Zixi as they flew, eventually landing in front of a massive and grandiose palace. Ares went inside to report, while Chu Qin and Ye Zixi stood outside the palace.

"Chu Qin, where do you think Xixue could have gone?" Ye Zixi asked anxiously, looking at Chu Qin.

"Why don't I use the True Dragon Eye and find out?" Chu Qin suggested.

"Wait, sir!" The soldier guarding the palace gate said upon seeing this scene, "Sir, I'm sorry, but during this special period, Dragon City does not allow outsiders to use divine power!"

"What kind of rule is that!" Xiaowu shouted, "You just heard that Chu Qin is trying to find your princess."

"Sir, I know, but this is an order from the City Lord himself!" the soldier said with some difficulty.

Chu Qin was about to argue when a brisk set of footsteps rang out, and a group of Golden Armor Guards emerged from the palace, escorting a rather handsome man in his late twenties wearing a golden robe.

This man was the City Lord of Sky Dragon City, Xiao Ling.

"Sister Zi Xi!" Xiao Ling, seeing Ye Zixi and his eyes gleaming with eagerness, strode toward her, about to embrace her!

Chu Qin stepped forward and intercepted Xiao Ling right away.

For a moment, all the guards revealed divine power fluctuations. These soldiers, appearing as ordinary passersby, were each emanating fluctuations beyond that of a Second-Level God!

Xiao Ling's complexion changed slightly as he looked at Chu Qin, somewhat surprised, "You are?"

"Let me introduce myself, Zi Xi's boyfriend, Chu Qin," Chu Qin said with a casual smile.

"What, you are Zi Xi's sister's boyfriend?" Xiao Ling exclaimed in surprise.

"Zi Xi, sister, when did this happen?" Xiao Ling looked at Ye Zixi and asked.

"Xiao Ling, let's talk about all that later! Where's Xi Yue?" Ye Zixi asked coldly as she looked at Xiao Ling.

"Sister, she's gone missing!" Xiao Ling's expression changed as he spoke.

"Sky Dragon City is so small, don't you have tens of thousands of soldiers in Sky Dragon City? You can't find a single person!" Ye Zixi's brows furrowed tightly, showing a hint of anger.

"Sister Zi Xi, as you know, in Sky Dragon City, there are ancient restrictions. Divine Sense cannot be used. The city is so large; I really don't know where to start looking!" Xiao Ling complained bitterly.

"That's not right. Xi Yue said that holding the Dragon Command would make one immune to these restrictions," Ye Zixi said, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Yes, that is true. But, the Dragon Command is in my father's hands, and he's gone missing. I've been looking for him too. Xi Yue really knows how to stir trouble at a time like this!" Xiao Ling sighed lightly.

"So you're saying you don't have the ability to find her, right?" Chu Qin asked with a faint smile.

Xiao Ling looked at Chu Qin, his face changing slightly just as he was about to speak, the latter said, "Since you are incapable, let me do it!"

"You?" Xiao Ling asked with a trace of doubt, "My friend, I've already mentioned that there are ancient restrictions within Sky Dragon City. How will you search?"

Chu Qin was so young; his cultivation level couldn't be that high. What use could he be?

"Just now I wanted to look for Princess Xi Yue and your subordinates stopped me. This time, they shouldn't stop me, right?" Chu Qin smiled enigmatically as his pupils turned golden. In an instant, the True Dragon Eye covered the entirety of Sky Dragon City.

Yes, even though these restrictions could block Divine Sense, they were ineffective against the True Dragon Eye.

Xiao Ling's face suddenly became anxious.

"Did you find her?" As Chu Qin closed his eyes, Ye Zixi quickly asked.

Chu Qin shook his head.

"See, I told you, my friend, there are restrictions here!" Xiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief secretly.

Chu Qin didn't pay attention to Xiao Ling but turned to Ye Zixi, "Zi Xi, it's because you haven't told me what Xi Yue looks like."

When Chu Qin saw the drawing, he immediately felt his mind wander. The woman in the portrait was not only exceptionally beautiful, with a fiery figure, but the key point was that she wore only two thin pieces of clothing, creating too much visual impact.

"Alright!" Chu Qin nodded, reopening the True Dragon Eye.

Xiao Ling started to panic. He gave a few commands to the person beside him, who then walked into the imperial palace.

"Found her!" Chu Qin said with a faint smile.

"Where?" Ye Zixi and Xiaowu asked in unison, both surprised.

Chu Qin's finger instantly pointed at Xiao Ling, then moved a bit to point towards the back, towards the imperial palace, "Right in the imperial palace!"

"My friend, you must be joking! If Xi Yue were in the imperial palace, would I need to search for her?" Xiao Ling asked.

"Of course you wouldn't search, because you are the one who locked her up, right?" Chu Qin's pupils narrowed as he spoke eerily, "She's in an underground secret chamber, tied up!"
