Eternal Sovereign

Chen Yi and the rest saw the scene on the flying boat and could not help but let out a cry of surprise.    

If one did not consider the flying boat and only looked at the buildings on it, they would think that they had arrived at another mansion.    

The mountain behind the mansion had a beautiful environment. There was also a clear lake at the bottom of the lake, which was vast and jade-green in color.    

Occasionally, there would be cranes that would fly down and wash their bodies and comb their feathers in the lake. The cranes had intelligent glints in their eyes, they definitely weren't ordinary cranes.    

The truth was that this was indeed the case. This was a crane that was raised by their family. Their intelligence was no less than a person's. Even if it was an ordinary Martial Cultivator of Circulation Stage who provoked the crane, he would still suffer greatly.    

Chen Yanming and Chen Kaiqiang snapped their fingers, and dozens of cranes flew out from the forest in the distance. Compared to the others, the red-crowned cranes looked more handsome and spirited.    

The red-crowned crane led dozens of cranes behind it, bowing to Chen Yanming and Chen Kaiqiang.    

Chen Yanming smiled and said, "Bring all these little guys to [Drifting Cloud Mansion] [Yuesheng] [Whirlwind Courtyard] [Pear Blossom Courtyard]."    

Clearly, these were all the courtyards on the flying vessel.    

The leader of the cranes nodded respectfully. He turned around and barked a few times at the dozens of cranes behind him. Soon, twenty-one cranes walked out.    

Chen Yanming said to Chen Yi, "These cranes are raised by our family, you can't hurt them. Otherwise, you have to bear the consequences."    

Chen Yuyu and the rest nodded immediately.    

Being so close, they could already feel the aura of these cranes. How could they dare to make a move against them?    

The red-crowned crane was probably the king amongst all these cranes. Its strength was probably at least equivalent to that of a Great Circulation Stage or even comparable to that of a Quasi-innate warrior. With its insignificant Minor Circulation, how would they dare to provoke these cranes?    

One by one, they carefully climbed onto the cranes, flapped their wings, and they instantly flew up.    

Chen Yanming and Chen Kaiqiang flew to the other side, controlled the speed and position of the flying boat, and headed towards Yijia City.    

On the way, the two of them did not interact at all. Their expressions were calm.    

If Chen Yi was here, he would have discovered that the relationship between these two Innate Deacons seemed to be quite ordinary. Previously at Yangyun City, although the two of them did not interact much, they would not have been so indifferent towards each other.    

"..."    

The twenty-one cranes and the king of cranes brought Chen Yi and the other twenty-one people slowly down.    

This was a gathering place for the courtyard. There were all sorts of courtyards with different styles, and the plants within were all of different styles.    

Chen Yi frowned. He felt that many eyes were on him, sizing him up.    

Chen Yuyu and the rest also noticed it. They all followed their line of sight and looked over. All they saw were courtyards and tall trees.    

He didn't see anyone else.    

At this time, the Crane King laughed and said, "It should be the Heavenly Pride from the other two locations sizing you up."    

Everyone immediately looked at the Immortal Crane King in shock. This Immortal Crane could actually speak in the human tongue?    

It wasn't that Demonic Beast couldn't speak, but it was basically at the Fourth Rank level. If it was human level, they would at least be at the Innate level.    

No matter how one looked at it, this red-crowned crane couldn't possibly be a Xiantian level demon. Otherwise, how could it possibly bow and kneel to these two Xiantian lifeforms?    

The Crane King flapped his wings and said with a smile, "It seems that you are all very surprised. However, I cannot tell you how I was able to speak before I reached the Innate Realm."    

"Right, you can call this king the White Crane King."    

"White Crane King, you said that the Heavenly Pride of the other two locations are sizing us up?" Chen Haoyan frowned.    

The White Crane King nodded. "Of course, you guys aren't among the first batch to be received. Two batches have already been received in front."    

"Furthermore, there are only a dozen or so people in each of these two groups. As for this group of twenty-one, naturally, it will attract the attention of the previous two groups of Heavenly Pride."    

Generally speaking, the more people there were, the more Heavenly Pride there would be. This group of twenty-one people, Chen Yi's and the others were simply too eye-catching.    

"But why didn't I see them?" This time, the one who asked was Chen Yuyu.    

The White Crane King gave a loud chirp before slowly saying, "These courtyards are all covered by formations. You won't be able to see the people inside from the outside."    

"Alright, I'll take you guys to the resting area. Each courtyard can accommodate four to six people. You can divide it yourselves."    

"What's so special about these courtyards?" Chen Haobo always felt that it wasn't that simple.    

The White Crane King disdainfully replied, "Wherever there's anything to pay attention to, it's all the same."    

"Don't always think that everything is a test."    

"This family's flying boat is extremely fast, and before long, it will arrive at the Yijia City. Then, you will be sent to the Shiwu Island to participate in the third round of the examination."    

"Before that, you can just properly adjust your condition."    

"If you come into conflict here, wait until you're eliminated due to your poor Shiwu Island, don't think that it's unfair."    

Everyone shut their mouths.    

Some families had people who had participated in the third round of examination, but some did not. It was only now that these people realized that the third round of examination was not held in the Yuele City, but on a small island surrounded by a sea.    

The group of white cranes flew to the first courtyard, [Drifting Cloud Mansion]. Chen Haoyan was the first to descend, as if to prove his status.    

The other four people from the same race as him also jumped off the white crane.    

Chen Yuanbiao also jumped down.    

Others were unwilling to argue with Chen Haoyan, or to be more precise, they were unwilling to clash with the Heavenly Pride s from Yangyun in Yangyun, so they did not choose to continue with the [Drifting Cloud Mansion].    

Thus, there were six people living in the [Drifting Cloud Mansion].    

There were five people living in each of the remaining three courtyards. Chen Yi, Chen Hongfei, and Chen Yumei chose one courtyard. The other two were Chen Jingcheng and the last one was an eight-meridians genius similar to Chen Hongfei.    

Chen Yi chose a room and stayed there. He closed his eyes to rest and adjust his state of mind.    

Chen Yi did not cultivate much. Since the White Crane King had already warned him that he would be able to reach Shiwu Island soon, he might as well listen to the White Crane King's suggestion.    

During this period, Chen Hongfei came to Chen Yi to ask for Chen Yi's information. Chen Yi did not stop Chen Hongfei from asking for information, so it was fine if Chen Hongfei asked Chen Hongfei to ask for information.    

What the White Crane King said is right, our family's flying boat is indeed very fast. It had not even been six hours, and we had already arrived at the Yijia City from Yangyun City.    

If it was the Dark Cloud Bird that was previously flying from Qingyuan Town to Yangyun City, it would at least fly for two or more days.    

Yijia City was a middle city, and was extremely famous in the entire Yunlan County.    

As a result, the walls of the Yijia City were even taller and the materials were even more special. For warriors below the Innate Realm, destroying a portion of them would be extremely difficult.    

The armies that were in charge of guarding the gates were basically all at the early stage of Circulation Stage. Occasionally, there would be experts at the middle and late stages of Circulation Stage.    

The flying boat coming from Yuele City was very unique, not to mention that the flying boat had the marks of Yuele City on it. Adding to the instructions from the city lord of Yijia City, the flying boat did not stop to be inspected at all as it directly flew over from the sky. A middle city like the Yijia City actually had large array formations, especially around the city gate.    

If one wanted to fly directly through the air, one would have to withstand the attack of the formation.    

The array formation protecting the city gates was not weak at all.    

Innate Expert, who was at the Genuine Returning Stage level, was caught off guard by the formation's attack and suffered a heavy injury.    

This was a powerful array that could threaten Innate Expert of Genuine Returning Stage.    

The fact that our family's flying boat can directly fly across the sky showed the position of our Yuele City in the entire Yunlan County.    

Even if the mayor was a descendant of a royal family, he would still not be willing to offend Yuele City and Chen Family, and thus, he had an even more terrifying background.    

Not long after, the flying boat stopped within the Yijia City.    

Chen Yanming and Chen Kaiqiang flew down from the flying boat and didn't return for a long time.    

Many Heavenly Pride were hungry from waiting.    

Then, they heard the sound of someone knocking on the door and opened it. They were shocked to discover that it was actually the red-crowned crane that was bringing them food to eat.    

Chen Yi already knew that there weren't any maids here. He was wondering what he should do with his meal, but instead the red-crowned crane sent him some fruits.    

"Looks like I'll have to eat some fruits today." Chen Yi took a basket from the red-crowned crane, and Spirit Fruit were inside the basket.
