Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Qingshan Town
Everything in the Black Corner region has been dealt with, so there is no need for Jiang Ping to stay here any longer.
After handing over all the affairs here to Hai Bodong, he took Xiao Yixian back to Jia Ma Empire.
For Xiao Yixian, who originally left Jia Ma Empire, this journey home was a bit melancholy.
She left Jia Ma Empire along this road. Now, as she came back along this road, sitting on the flying magic beast, looking at the familiar scenery below, her mind couldn't help but be filled with thoughts.
"Why do you look so depressed and unhappy?"
Jiang Ping sat down next to her, took her hand and held it in his palm, caressing it.
"I'm not."
Xiao Yixian shook her head gently, a hint of a smile on his face, but this smile was obviously not a truly happy smile.
"Is it because returning to Jia Ma Empire brings back some bad memories of the past?"
How could Jiang Ping not see what was on her mind?
Having been forced to leave Jia Ma Empire and now returning here again, she definitely couldn't help but feel some emotion.
Moreover, Xiao Yixian had to abandon all the familiar people and leave Jia Ma Empire because of her Woeful Poison body.
It is inevitable that she will feel a little lost inside.
"Don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, I will be by your side and support you forever."
Jiang Ping held her smooth hand tightly, and his words were as gentle as the clouds in the distant sky, but they contained an incomparable promise.
No matter what kind of displacement Xiao Yixian has experienced in the past, from now on, Jiang Ping will be her most solid backing!
Xiao Yixian didn't say anything.
She just held his hand tightly in response to his promise.
...
It took quite a while to fly back to Jia Ma Empire from Black-Corner Region.
Moreover, the two did not fly back by themselves, but chose to ride on a flying magic beast, which made the speed even slower.
It took them five full days of flying before they entered the territory of the Jia Ma Empire.
Zhen Gui Pass, the border fortress of the Jia Ma Empire, shoulders the heavy responsibility of the border security of the Jia Ma Empire.
When their flying magic beast came from outside the Jia Ma Empire without any signs of stopping, the guards on the walls of the Zhen Gui Pass Fortress immediately aimed their huge crossbows at them.
"This is the Zhen Gui Pass. No one is allowed to fly over. Please come down and you'll be shot down!"
A Deputy General shouted loudly.
But the flying magic beast showed no signs of stopping.
As the flying magic beast got closer and closer to the Zhen Gui Pass, all the crossbows on the city walls were ready to fire.
"Final warning, please stop flying immediately!"
The deputy general's face was cold and his hand was raised in the air.
As long as he waved his hand, all the crossbow arrows would be fired in one second.
These modified crossbows are powerful enough to kill a powerful Dou King!
When he was still the leader of the Jia Ma imperial family, the Zhen Gui Pass was often harassed by refugees or magic beasts.
Although they couldn't break through the defenses of the Zhen Gui Pass, it is always annoying to hear them harass people from time to time.
Now, Qianling Pavilion rules the Jia Ma Empire.
The biggest change to their border fortress is the improvement in equipment.
Especially these crossbows are made entirely of black iron. A single crossbow arrow can kill a fourth-level magic beast, and a row of crossbow arrows can kill a powerful Dou King!
With the help of this batch of weapons, from then on, no matter whether they were refugees or magic beasts outside the fortress, they didn't dare to stroll around the Zhen Gui again.
This shows that sufficient firepower is still very useful.
After all this time, is there anyone who dares to brazenly break into their defensive airspace of Zhen Gui Pass?
Just as the deputy general was about to give the order to shoot down the magic beast that had crossed the line in the sky.
Suddenly, a young man's face appeared above the flying magic beast's head.
At this moment, the deputy general widened his eyes.
"Stooop!"
He almost immediately ordered his men to stop shooting arrows.
Because he knew Jiang Ping!
"That's the Pavilion Master!"
When Jiang Ping split into three thousand Incarnations and wiped-out evil forces in cities large and small throughout the Jia Ma Empire, he often showed up.
Zhen Gui Pass is an important border fortress, so Jiang Ping had naturally been here before, and he was firmly remembered by everyone here.
So, when Jiang Ping showed his face on the flying magic beast, everyone who saw it recognized him immediately.
"All the generals of the Zhen Gui Pass greet the Pavilion Master!"
The neat and orderly voices echoed over the entire Zhen Gui Pass.
In the city, many people who did not know the reason were startled by the noise and looked up at the sky.
When they saw it was Jiang Ping, everyone was surprised.
"It's the Pavilion Master!"
"Pavilion Master!"
Jiang Ping smiled and waved in response to the warm greeting.
But he did not stay too long and flew over the Zhen Gui Pass without any obstacles.
"Your reputation in Jia Ma Empire is so high?"
Xiao Yixian, who witnessed all this, was very surprised.
She knew Jiang Ping was very powerful.
But Zhen Gui Pass is part of the Jia Ma Empire, so why would they be so respectful to Jiang Ping?
Jiang Ping smiled mysteriously: "It seems that you really haven't been back to Jia Ma Empire for a long time. The current Jia Ma Empire is very different from the one you remember."
With Qianling Pavilion's current status in the Jia Ma Empire, coupled with the previous round of major moves by Jiang Ping.
Now the entire Jia Ma Empire is so loyal to Qianling Pavilion and Jiang Ping that it can be described as astonishing.
It can be said that the cohesion of the people of Jia Ma Empire has reached an unprecedented level.
From the beginning of the Jia Ma Empire to the present, no leader reached the heights that he has today.
After all, Jiang Ping's goal is to build Jia Ma Empire into the top force in the entire Continent!
"I know that your Qianling Pavilion has now replaced the Jia Ma imperial family, but I didn't expect that your prestige as the leader of Qianling Pavilion would be so high." Xiao Yixian said.
"Of course not." Jiang Ping couldn't help feeling a little smug.
Xiao Yixian rolled his eyes at him and ignored him.
...
The flying magic beast passed the Zhen Gui Pass and continued to fly into the Jia Ma Empire.
They then flew for another two days.
"Where are we going now? Is your Qianling Pavilion's headquarters so far away?"
Seeing that they hadn't stopped yet, Xiao Yixian was a little confused.
This is already beyond the capital of Jia Ma Empire, right?
Is Qianling Pavilion's headquarters in the imperial capital?
"Let's not go to the headquarters for now, let's go to another place first."
"Where?"
"You'll know when we get there."
Jiang Ping looked mysterious, which aroused Xiao Yixian's curiosity.
But if Jiang Ping didn't tell her, she couldn't guess.
She could only watch the scenery below getting closer and closer.
It seems to be becoming more and more familiar.
Finally, the flying magic beast stopped in front of a small town in front of the magic beast mountain range.
"We have arrived."
"This is…"
Xiao Yixian stared blankly at the familiar town in front of her.
At the entrance of the town, there stands a conspicuous bluestone stele.
There are characters engraved on it: Qingshan Town!
