Start from Panlong and kill through the heavens

Chapter 19: Hard Training in the Imperial Capital
September 9999, 9 of the Magnolia Calendar, in the capital of the Rhine Empire, Argos City.

This ancient city had gone through thousands of years of war and had become a ruin. More than three thousand years ago, the founding emperor of the Rhine Empire, the powerful Saint Athos Rhine, rebuilt the city-state here and established the Duchy of the Rhine.

Then, through continuous wars and expansion, the Duchy of the Rhine was promoted to a kingdom and then to an empire, and this ancient city-state gradually grew into the most prosperous city in the Rhine Empire.

It is also called the Rhine City.

At this time, outside the west gate of Rhine City shrouded in darkness, all the soldiers guarding the gate were as if they were facing a great enemy. Luo Ao, a ninth-level expert guarding the west gate, stood on the high city wall with cold sweat on his forehead.

"General, what should we do now?" The guard beside him spoke in a trembling voice, but his eyes were fixed on the terrifying monster floating in the air, and the young man and woman sitting high on its back.

These two people and one beast were none other than Rean and Sophia, who flew directly from the Rhine River to the imperial capital, and the thunder-winged white tiger 'Foel'.

"General Luo Ao, are you really not going to let us enter the city?" Sophia, wearing a black robe, looked coldly at the ninth-level strong man on the city wall, exuding a noble and majestic aura.

It was not until this time that Rean truly saw the true face of the future Queen of the Rhine Empire. The girl was gentle and considerate in front of him, but when she became aloof, she gave people a feeling of awe without anger.

"Your Highness Sophia." Luo Ao bowed again and spoke with a stiff upper lip. "These are extraordinary times. Without the Crown Prince's permission, no one is allowed to enter or leave the city gates at will."

While speaking, Luo Ao's attention was always on the terrifying holy domain monster in front of him and the tall man behind it.

These are two powerful sanctuaries, and they are definitely not ordinary sanctuaries. Any one of them has the power to kill all the warriors and magicians on the city wall.

Even if all the super-large magic crystal cannons were used, they might not pose too much of a threat to the man and the beast. If the eldest prince had not issued a death order, even if Luo Ao had ten thousand courage, he would not dare to stop the two people in front of him.

Why hasn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent anyone yet?!

Luo Ao was extremely anxious at this time, and his whole body was sweating profusely.

call!
At this moment, a black figure appeared silently above the city gate, blocking the Thunder Winged White Tiger.

Seeing this figure, Luo Ao finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was the only powerful Saint Realm warrior beside the Crown Prince, Lord Arnold.

However, before Luo Ao could breathe a sigh of relief, his eyes suddenly widened, his face filled with horror.

All the soldiers on the city wall had the same expression as him. Their eyes were wide open, as if they had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.

In the night ahead, the tall man who was originally sitting high on the back of the Thunder Winged White Tiger had now appeared silently in the air.

A spear appeared in his hand at some point, and it was now piercing the chest of Lord Arnold, a powerful figure in the Holy Land.

puff!
The tall man shook the spear in his hand lightly, and Arnold's body was instantly shattered. Blood and flesh spilled down, dyeing the city walls and the ground red.

A powerful Saint Realm expert was killed so easily without even having the chance to fight back.

At this moment, Luo Ao and others could hardly believe their eyes and even thought it was just an illusion.

"Let's go." Rean, who killed a beginner in the Sanctuary with one move, returned to Foel's back, put his arm around Sophia's soft and boneless waist, and spoke softly.

"Yes, master." Foel growled, glanced at Luo Ao and others with disdain, and instantly flew over the tall city wall and entered the city.

It was not until they disappeared into the distant night sky that Luo Ao and the others swallowed hard. At that moment, the terrifying aura emitted by the man made them feel as if they were in purgatory.

……

After entering the city, at Rean's instruction, Forel landed on the ground and walked slowly on the wide street.

The Imperial Capital was crowded with people, and Rean didn't want to cause too much of a stir. Furthermore, he didn't know if the Dark Church had made any special arrangements targeting him in the Imperial Capital, so it was best to keep a low profile. Sitting on Foel's back, Sophia leaned against Rean's chest, her nose filled with the intoxicating scent. She felt incredibly at peace, and she was incredibly grateful that she had made the right decision.

"Let's go to the Imperial Palace." Sophia pointed to the towering castle in the distance and said softly, "I suspect something happened to Grandpa, otherwise Uncle wouldn't dare to blockade the Imperial Capital so blatantly."

"Yeah." Rean nodded, and the Thunder Winged White Tiger under his crotch suddenly accelerated, turning into an afterimage and disappearing on the spot.

Arriving outside the palace, Li En got off the Thunder Wing White Tiger and looked at Sophia and said:

"There are no powerful Saint Realm warriors in the palace. You and Foel go in. From now on, it will always be by your side to help you. If there are any problems that cannot be solved, let it come to me."

"Where are you going?" Sophia asked quickly, her eyes a little flustered.

She had gotten used to having Li En around, and now that he seemed to be leaving alone, she felt inexplicably uneasy.

"Find a place to take a shower and have a sleep. Don't bother me unless necessary." Li En turned and left, waving his hand behind his back.

Sophia's expression was a little gloomy, but she then pulled herself together and looked towards the direction of the palace.

"Fol, let's go."

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night in the Imperial Palace.

In order to inherit the throne as soon as possible, the eldest prince plotted against the emperor and took control of the entire palace.

However, with the strong return of Sophia, the established heir to the throne, a bloody storm is inevitable.

The ministers and troops who had always supported Sophia finally found their backbone. They were determined to take this opportunity to help Sophia ascend the throne.

……

Rean was not interested in the open and secret struggles within the royal family of the Rhine Empire. If it weren't for Sophia, he wouldn't even be here.

Now that Sophia has the help of a top-level magical beast from the Holy Realm, and she also has a large number of supporters, she is sure to win the battle for the throne, and Rean is even more lazy to pay attention.

'This is just a deal, I'm just fulfilling my promise.' Rean thought as he stroked the emerald ring on his index finger.

That night, Li En found a hotel and had a good sleep without the girl as his companion.

The next morning, he began his boring life of cultivation.

In a coniferous forest on a barren mountain outside the imperial capital, Rean held a dragon sword and kept slashing at the void.

Sometimes the blade is facing down, and sometimes the back of the blade is facing down.

When the blade was facing downward, every slash would cause the air to hiss, and the void seemed to be torn apart. The sword seemed to contain infinite power, able to smash everything in front of it.

When the blade is facing downward, just a slight swing can cause a series of sonic booms.

But at this time he didn't use any fighting spirit, just a casual wave of his hand, and it was so powerful!

(The heavy sword in my mind, but it should be thicker and heavier than this one, with a more refined blade. I couldn’t find a suitable picture, so I’ll just take a look at this)
