Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 329 Lu Miaozi: Old Demon Xiang, you're not dead!
Southwest of Jingling County, the Zhang River and the Ju River, two tributaries of the Yangtze River, divide a vast expanse of fertile plains.

This is where Pegasus Ranch is located.

Xu Qing, dressed in a magnificent blue robe, rode a fine horse, with the beautiful Wanwan, still dressed in red, accompanying him.

"Your Majesty, the Pegasus Ranch is just ahead."

Wanwan's beautiful eyes sparkled; she had done her homework before knowing that Xu Qing wanted to come here.

Xu Qing nodded slightly. The climate here was mild. Although they had not yet fully entered the Pegasus Ranch, they could already see the pleasantness of the surrounding environment.

The pasture grass was everywhere, growing incredibly lush and abundant. Even the horses beneath them seemed to drool at the sight.

Clearly, the mere pasture near Pegasus Ranch was enough to tempt this magnificent horse.

The entire Pegasus Ranch is surrounded by mountains, enclosing more than ten square miles of fertile land, accessible only by two canyons to the east and west.

"It is indeed a nice natural barrier!"

Xu Qing glanced at the terrain and realized that there were only two narrow passages, one to the east and one to the west, to conquer the Pegasus Ranch.

Such terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it an excellent base.

The path leading to the mountain offers a panoramic view of the pastures, where you can see colorful wild grasses and lakes of varying sizes, their shimmering waters vying with the blue hues, creating a vibrant and breathtaking scene.

No wonder the horses raised here are famous. With such an excellent pasture, it would be strange if they didn't raise good horses.

Xu Qing and Wanwan crossed the mountain path and passed through the ridges, where they could see all kinds of birds and livestock running in the fertile fields.

But what really caught people's attention was the group of strong, sturdy horses galloping ahead, with a woman training them.

The distance was great, but Xu Qing and Wanwan were no ordinary people; their eyesight was astonishing.

Even from a great distance, the woman's figure and face could be clearly seen.

The woman had delicate features, but her skin wasn't as white and tender as Wanwan's; instead, it was bronze, yet it exuded a healthy beauty.

Her figure was exceptional; her large breasts swayed violently with the movements of the horse, while her waist was extremely slender yet powerful.

"What a beautiful lady riding the imperial horse!" Wanwan couldn't help but exclaim.

The beauty of the imperial horsewoman was comparable to hers, but her temperament was completely different, possessing a different kind of beauty.

Xu Qing nodded slightly, her eyes clear, a hint of appreciation flashing across them.

This woman's horse-riding skills are superb; she is a rare talent.

As is well known, warhorses play a significant role in enhancing the combat effectiveness of an army.

The horses trained by that beauty were all extraordinary; with such talent, a large number of cavalry could be easily created.

"Your Majesty, that person must be Shang Xiuxun, the beautiful owner of Pegasus Ranch."

"Rumor has it that Shang Xiuxun is stunningly beautiful, a rare beauty in the world. Is Your Majesty interested in her?" Wanwan said with a grin.

She strongly suspected that Xu Qing was after Shang Xiuxun.

Having been by Xu Qing's side for quite some time, she understood that Xu Qing was not without lust.

No man is immune to lust; this truth has remained unchanged since ancient times.

Xu Qing was able to control it.

"Who wouldn't be interested in such a beauty?" Xu Qing smiled noncommittally.

However, at his level, he had long since moved beyond judging by outward appearances and now valued a person's talent more.

If Shang Xiuxun is only good-looking but has no talent, she is just a pretty face.

That couldn't pique Xu Qing's interest at all; only talent could make Xu Qing take a second look.

Wanwan was not angry when she heard this.

She knew all too well that a perfect man like Xu Qing, who was also the most powerful person in the world, would have no shortage of women.

As long as the other party doesn't forget her, she doesn't care how many concubines Xu Qing takes.

No, it should be said that she has no right to interfere at all.

"Let's go. Compared to this beauty, I am more interested in the reclusive people inside."

Xu Qing withdrew his gaze and turned to a higher area in the northwest corner.

There stands a magnificent castle, backed by a sheer cliff and facing a winding river, making it even more breathtaking.

That's Pegasus Castle, which has been built at least 160 years ago. Fortifications have also been built at strategic points along the mountain path for security.

That was the most important place in Pegasus Mountain City.

Such a secluded place is definitely the paradise that most people yearn for, a blessed land.

Xu Qing and Wanwan continued towards the mountain city.

Meanwhile, in a pavilion within the mountain city, an elderly man with a tall hat and wide belt, an ancient and peculiar face, and a pine-like appearance suddenly stopped fiddling with the mechanical object in his hand, as if sensing something.

He turned his head to look outside, and what he saw caused his expression to change drastically; his eyes trembled, and his lips moved:

"This is... a sign of auspicious purple clouds rising from the east!"

In his field of vision, the dense purple aura above the sky almost covered the entire area.

Someone's here!

And they were distinguished guests!
A person of the utmost nobility!

The old man was Xu Qing's target on this trip: Lu Miaozi, the most versatile genius in the world.

His talent was unparalleled throughout history. He was proficient in martial arts, medicine, architecture, mechanical engineering, physiognomy, divination, and other skills, making him a true polymath.

By observing the celestial phenomena, one can know that someone of ineffable nobility is about to arrive.

He hurriedly left the pavilion and led a group of people out of the city to welcome them.

The many experts in the mountain city were all surprised, as this was the first time they had ever seen Lu Miaozi so out of control.

Everyone was curious about who had come that made Lu Miaozi take it so seriously, sending so many experts to pay their respects and welcome them.

He even had someone notify Shang Xiuxun, who was training horses at the ranch, to come back as soon as possible.

This level of attention is unprecedented.

Soon, everyone saw a black figure striding towards them.

Could that be the person the old city lord was supposed to welcome?!

Lu Miaozi, who was in the lead, frowned. This guy is...!?

"Hahaha, Lu Miaozi, it's been many years! Your divination skills have improved quite a bit. You even predicted that this old man would come here!"

A loud laugh came from the old man in black. He was clearly surprised but also delighted to see Lu Miaozi personally leading so many people to greet him.

"Who are you?! You old devil Xiang! You're not dead?!"

Lu Miaozi's eyes widened, and he blurted out in utter astonishment.

The old man in black froze instantly, his body stiffening on the spot.

Wasn't this old guy here to greet him?

"You didn't expect me to come?"

The old man was none other than Xiang Yutian, the strongest Evil Emperor in the history of the Evil Extreme Sect.

"I do know divination, but I can't predict everything. Besides, aren't you dead?! You were lying to me!"

Lu Miaozi glared at Xiang Yutian, the old man who had suddenly died many years ago.

He was grieving for a long time because of this, but he never expected that he would still be alive and well.

Xiang Yutian chuckled and waved his hand, "Don't worry about these things."

Lu Miaozi snorted coldly, not wanting to pay any attention to the other party.

The two had a close relationship, so even though the other party was once the most powerful evil emperor in the world, he could still show his displeasure.

Xiang Yutian coughed, changing the subject, and asked, "Since you didn't predict my arrival, who were you welcoming with so many people?"

"Of course..."

Lu Miaozi's expression changed abruptly halfway through her sentence, and Xiang Yutian's expression also changed. A calm yet powerful voice could be heard coming from afar:

"The person he's waiting for is... me!"
