I flew on a sword at the magic academy

The imperial city of the British Empire was vast, divided into an outer city and an inner city. The outer city was the living and entertainment area for ordinary people, while the inner city was for cultivators from various countries.

The area retains its ancient appearance and has not undergone much alteration. It is magnificent, with crisscrossing streets that allow people to travel on exotic beasts and birds of prey.

On the street, the roars of ferocious beasts could be heard from time to time, and one after another, majestic and powerful ferocious birds and beasts galloped and roared through the street.

The people living here didn't react much to this. They were used to seeing people in the inner city who weren't normal humans.

Princes and nobles usually made a great show of their status when they traveled. They would either have wild beasts leading the way or decorate their carriages in a magnificent manner.

On this day, every street in the inner city was bustling with noise, as ferocious beasts pulled luxurious carriages out with a rumble.

Those ferocious beasts were exceptionally tall and had an imposing aura. Pedestrians on the road avoided them, because they knew that these people were nobles of high status and position, and they could not easily provoke them.

"Why is it so lively today? And all those people out are nobles. Could something big be happening?"

"Don't you know? Her Majesty's 100th birthday is just around the corner. Talented young people from all over the country have come to offer their birthday wishes to Her Majesty."

"Because some of these geniuses are studying at advanced magic academies and can only go home a few times a year, while others are studying abroad and can only return home a few times a year. This time, because of Her Majesty the Queen's 100th birthday, these geniuses have the opportunity to get together, so naturally we have to hold a party to relax and have some fun first."

"It's not just a simple gathering. Some powerful families don't get along well, and this gathering might turn into a power struggle."

Many people are saying that the inner city of the empire's capital is a melting pot of all sorts of people, including not only Western magicians but also cultivators from other countries.

For example, cultivators from the East, Shintoists from Japan, and spiritual mediums from Siam... all gathered together extraordinary people from all walks of life, which also forged the prosperity of the inner city.

"They all have quite the grand entrance."

Shi Daohan also arrived in the inner city, but he got separated from Jing Xinyu and had to make his way to the gathering place by himself. Along the way, he saw many extravagant carriages speeding past him.

It's obvious that these people are all extraordinary individuals; they are either descendants of nobles, talented scions of powerful families, or even princesses and princes.

There are certainly not many people like her who walk to the meeting, as it would seem somewhat out of place.

Of course, no one knows she's going to a party as she walks down the street.

The gathering was held at the Palace of Erquis in the northeast corner of the inner city, which covers an area of ​​Aurora and includes not only various grand buildings but also a large garden.

It is truly remarkable that such a garden has been preserved in this inner city where land is extremely valuable.

This is an excellent scenic spot in the inner city. In addition to gardens, there are also mountains and lakes. The scenery is very beautiful, and it is also a venue often used by the wealthy and noble to hold gatherings.

"Boom!"

The carriage rumbled loudly, pulled by six savage beasts, all of them powerful and strange creatures, their bodies covered in gleaming scales, treading through dust and mist as they sped down the street.

Almost at the same time, another vehicle rushed out from around the corner and drove alongside it.

"snort!"

With a cold snort, one of the carriages suddenly veered towards another group of carriages, resulting in a violent collision.

One of the vehicles was mostly dented and veered out of control to the side.

The other carriage, however, remained undamaged and continued speeding forward, though a disdainful sneer came from inside.

"The carriage frame at Duke Andrew's residence is in poor condition; it needs to be repaired."

"Damn it, you just wait!" came a gnashing of teeth from inside the broken carriage lying to one side.

It is obvious that the two sides had a grudge, and this situation is not uncommon. Many aristocratic families and nobles do not have harmonious relationships and there is competition between them.

The collision between the two cars was nothing compared to what Shi Daohan saw not far before she saw the wreckage of vehicles scattered on the street, along with large patches of blood. Clearly, a much fiercer battle had taken place there not long ago.

Shi Daohan frowned slightly and asked a passerby, "Isn't this the imperial city of the empire? Even if they are from a prominent and powerful family, isn't this a blatant disregard for the law?"

"You're new to the capital, aren't you? The capital is divided into inner and outer cities. I don't know what the outer city is like, but the inner city advocates absolute freedom. There are no laws, and it's known as the City of Bliss. You can do whatever you want here without anyone interfering," the passerby explained.

"Absolute freedom, the city of bliss..." Shi Daohan frowned slightly. Wouldn't that mean that murder and arson would be tolerated?

However, this was a system set by someone else, and as an outsider, she couldn't say much.

"Hey, this road leads to the Palace of Erquis, don't go the wrong way," a passerby kindly reminded Shi Daohan as she continued walking forward.

The reason why Paradise City is so noisy today is mainly because the talented young masters of those aristocratic families are holding a gathering there. He meant well, worried that Shi Daohan might accidentally bump into a bad-tempered lord and be crushed to death.

"I'm here to attend the meeting," Shi Daohan said without turning her head.

The passerby scoffed at this. He saw that Shi Daohan didn't even have a decent carriage, so no one would believe he was going to a gathering.

"Anyway, I've already kindly warned you. You're heading down a dead end, so don't end up with no one to even collect your corpse." The passerby said this and then ignored Shi Daohan.

On the main road leading to the Palace of Erquis, the number of pedestrians gradually decreased, and it could be said that Shi Daohan was the only one walking on the road.

Several carriages passed by her, all showing surprised looks. Was she also on her way to the Palace of Erquis for a meeting?

Shi Daohan paid no attention to these strange looks. She could have flown there on her sword, but she didn't, wanting to see the local customs and culture of this so-called Palace of Bliss.

"whee……"

Just then, a soft laugh came from behind, and a carriage pulled up beside Shi Daohan, with several auspicious beasts pulling it, its lights shimmering.

"Did he deliberately walk to the meeting, trying to stand out from the crowd, in an attempt to attract the attention of those powerful and wealthy young men?"

Inside the carriage, a young girl pulled back the curtain and pouted; it was Jing Xinyu's clone.

The carriage stopped beside Shi Daohan, and Jing Xinyu also poked her head out. Her fair face was so beautiful it was almost breathtaking. She smiled sweetly and said, "Come on, old classmate, let me give you a ride."

"Where did you get such a vehicle?" Shi Daohan looked at the carriage with suspicion.

"A gift from a friend, aren't you envious?" Jing Xinyu raised an eyebrow.

"You seem to have quite a wide network of connections." Shi Daohan turned and got into Jing Xinyu's car.

As soon as Shi Daohan got into the carriage, the girl with two long braids began to complain to Jing Xinyu, saying, "Miss, you don't know her. When I told her you wanted to find a good husband for that woman who's been called a holy fairy, this Shi Daohan actually said, 'If she were a man, she would take both of you into her harem!'"

"Hahaha~" Jing Xinyu laughed heartily, hooking a finger under Shi Daohan's chin and teasingly said, "What's there to regret? You could just change your appearance to look like a man, wouldn't that be great?"

Shi Daohan rolled her eyes at her speechlessly and said, "Speaking of which, you seem to have quite a grudge against that demoness? One of you is a demon, and the other is a monster. What grudge could you possibly have?"

"Did you know she was a member of the demon race?"

"What could possibly escape my discerning eyes, a powerful immortal like myself?" Shi Daohan naturally couldn't say that this was what the Qingxu Sect Leader was telling her.

"Tch!" Jing Xinyu rolled her eyes at her and said, "Do you even know who that vixen is?"

Shi Daohan shook his head and told the truth: "I only know that she is a member of the demon race, but I have no idea what her identity is."

"She is a descendant of the Demon Emperor," Jing Xinyu said, making a startling statement.

"What?!" Shi Daohan was shocked. She had guessed that the mysterious woman's identity might be extraordinary, but she never expected it to be this extraordinary, that she was even connected to the Demon Emperor.

"Which Demon Emperor is the descendant of the Demon Emperor?"

"Naturally, he's the last Demon Emperor, the Immortal in the Pot."

Shi Daohan frowned. The tomb of the Demon Emperor Immortal in the Pot had mysteriously appeared, and now his descendants had jumped out. This was not a good omen.

"What are you so nervous about?" Jing Xinyu asked with a smile when she saw Shi Daohan's furrowed brows.

"Nonsense, the appearance of the tomb of the Demon Emperor Immortal in the Pot has brought immense pressure to all our sects. Now that his descendants have jumped out, how can we not be nervous?" Shi Daohan said, after all, this was not some kind of secret.

Jing Xinyu asked, "Do you all believe that the Demon Emperor is not dead yet?"

Shi Daohan nodded: "Since the chaos of the Heavenly Collapse, although the Immortal in the Pot has completely disappeared, after all these years, with neither a living person nor a dead body, it's natural to have this kind of worry."

Jing Xinyu blinked and said, "As a classmate, I'll make an exception and give you some information. The Demon Emperor, Immortal in the Pot, is indeed not dead yet, and he is currently stationed in the Demon Realm."

Shi Daohan looked at her suspiciously: "How do you know all this?"

Putting aside the fact that Jing Xinyu was sent by the Demon Realm, just the fact that she made these unsubstantiated claims made Shi Daohan have no choice but to question her.

Jing Xinyu shrugged and said, "Anyway, all I can tell you is that the Demon Emperor is indeed still alive. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. Analyze it yourself."

Then she talked about her feud with the descendants of the Demon Emperor. They had clashed hundreds of years ago, and although it hadn't reached the point of being irreconcilable, it was close.

As for the reason for the conflict, Jing Xinyu just smiled mysteriously and didn't say anything.

Before long, they arrived at the Palace of Erquis. A huge stone archway stood in front of them, looking magnificent and enormous from afar, like a small mountain. One after another, luxurious and extravagant carriages drove in.

"That's Duke Glad's carriage. It seems the young lord of the manor has arrived."

There were people registering people in front of the stone archway, but when Jing Xinyu, her clone, and Shi Daohan got out of the car and greeted them, the people in charge of registration were dumbfounded.

"Does the Duke of Glad have three more beautiful and charming daughters in his household?"

"I don't know, I've never heard of it."

Jing Xinyu smiled and waved, explaining, "This carriage was lent to us by Duke Glad."

The Palace of Erquis is very large, with enough space to park all kinds of carriages.

Looking around, there were all sorts of strange beasts pulling carts, none of them benevolent, but they were very quiet because they were all spiritual beings, and their masters had instructed them not to roar or howl here.

"You can wander around by yourself for now. I'm going to find some friends to discuss something."

As soon as she entered the Erquis Palace, Jing Xinyu made an excuse to shake off Shi Daohan with her clone.

The Palace of Erquis was very large. Shi Daohan walked alone along a blue stone path, and after passing through a grove of trees, he came to a lake.

Ahead, lush green grass stretched out, and a clear blue lake adorned the scene like a sapphire.

There were many people there, all outstanding young talents, ranging from teenagers to their twenties, each of whom looked extraordinary.

"Oh! The Sixteenth Princess has arrived too! She's a shining jewel of the capital. Who's that man walking with her?"

"They must be an extraordinary person. Avoid discussing them too much, or you might get into trouble for what you say."

In the distance, a beautiful figure swayed gracefully, her light blue fairy dress fluttering in the wind—it was none other than the sixteenth princess of the British Empire.

She had a beautiful and graceful figure, and beside her was a red-haired man with an outstanding temperament; it was unclear which family's prodigy he was.

Soon, exclamations came from another direction, and another outstandingly beautiful girl appeared, surrounded by admirers.

"That's the younger sister of the Prince of Zhennan. Not only is she incredibly beautiful, but she's also said to be a high-level magician," someone whispered.

Not far away, the Prince of Zhennan also appeared. He was tall and imposing, dressed in a magnificent purple-blue robe, and was even more attractive than his sister. Both men and women crowded around him, asking for his autograph.

The title of king is not bestowed casually, and this Prince of Zhennan is only twenty-five years old. At such a young age, he has already been granted the highest title of king and is guarding the southern region of the empire. It is truly admirable.

On the battlefield, he was a decisive and ruthless war god; in life, he was unrestrained and carefree, with a beautiful woman on each arm around his waist, chatting and laughing with others without any restraint.
