457: Chapter 457 Preparing to Go to the Capital

In an instant, even the King of the Western Frontier's eyes were filled with doubt.

Originally, he had been full of anticipation, waiting to see what kind of Weapon Spirit his niece could become through Ancestral Return. After all, when Yunshu contracted with Ye Qing before, she had achieved Ancestral Return and become a powerful Weapon Spirit in just a day or two.

Such speed could be described as terrifying.

He wondered if his niece could possess such speed, just like Yunshu.

But looking at it now, it seemed Jiang Ying was nowhere to be seen.

Beside him, Zhou Lingxue and the other young women saw the King of the Western Frontier's expression and walked over.

"King of the Western Frontier, are you looking for Sister Jiang Ying?"

"Yes, where is Jiang Ying? Why isn't she here?" Seeing Zhou Lingxue and the others take the initiative to speak, the King of the Western Frontier quickly asked.

Zhou Lingxue and the others exchanged glances.

"Sister Jiang Ying just formed a Contract yesterday and was very exhausted. She is still resting now."

"Yes, she usually wakes up around noon, but it's not certain. It still depends on the specific situation..."

"..."

Everyone chimed in.

King of the Western Frontier: "..."

This... was there such a reasoning?

That didn't seem right. He had never heard of such a thing. Usually, when a Contract was formed, the Weapon Spirits were full of vigor. Could it be that when contracting with Ye Qing, because his strength was so formidable, the burden on the Weapon Spirit was particularly heavy?

Thinking this, the King of the Western Frontier gradually began to understand. It seemed that was indeed the case.

Since that was the case, it didn't matter.

Meanwhile, Ye Qing looked at King Fenghai. "King Fenghai, why did you all come over together? Is there something you need from me?"

"There is indeed something. Last night, I informed the Imperial Capital Military Department about the situation on the coastline here. The person currently presiding over the Imperial Capital Military Department is King Yu. Besides King Yu, there are several senior King-level Experts—old gentlemen who reside deep within the Imperial Capital and rarely come out. They are mysterious figures. King Yu showed those old gentlemen the situation here yesterday, and they have invited you to visit the Imperial Capital..."

King Fenghai explained.

Beside him, the War King listened to King Fenghai's words and nodded. "Those old gentlemen... even we haven't seen them many times. Usually, they just give us orders. This is the first time we've seen them be so polite. It's clear they appreciate you very much."

"True, at your age, to have reached such a level and achieved such results, who wouldn't appreciate it?"

"What do you think? Should we make a trip to the Imperial Capital Barrier?"

...

The War King also spoke up.

Ye Qing was momentarily stunned upon hearing this.

This... he hadn't expected the Imperial Capital Barrier to harbor such power. No wonder the Imperial Capital was the largest Barrier in China, a Super First-Tier Barrier, far more formidable than the Modu Barrier.

Going there to take a look was fine. After all, there were still many Divine Artifacts in the Imperial Capital that he needed to subdue.

Ye Qing hadn't spoken yet.

Beside him, Zhou Lingxue and the others had already started talking.

"Wow, they're inviting Hubby to the Imperial Capital."

"Have you guys been to the Imperial Capital?"

"No, none of us have. I heard it's a true Super First-Tier Barrier."

"The scale of the Imperial Capital Barrier is massive, and there are many families inside. Compared to the Modu Barrier, it's much larger."

Jing Yao and Jing Yue also began to speak. After all, they hadn't been there either and had only heard about most things, but they were very eager to go and see for themselves.

Beside them, King Fenghai: "..."

Good grief, you two little ones, is the Modu Barrier not good enough?

Talking like that.

Now that Ye Qing was about to leave, King Fenghai was actually a bit reluctant to let him go.

The King of the Western Frontier and the King of Nanling watched the situation; they had come here specifically for Ye Qing.

The King of the Western Frontier sighed.

He had originally planned to invite Ye Qing to the Western Frontier to see if he could discover a mineral vein or two in the Western War Zone. But now it seemed he was being a bit delusional. Once Ye Qing went to the Imperial Capital Barrier, he probably wouldn't come back down later.

However, he had still gained a lot this time. At the very least, he had witnessed Ye Qing's terrifying combat power and had managed to get Jiang Ying and Ye Qing to form a Contract.

That was the biggest harvest of this trip.

Now, like Old Jing, he had established a connection with Ye Qing. In the future, when Ye Qing rose through the ranks, he should be able to receive many benefits.

Thinking of this, the King of the Western Frontier felt satisfied.

Beside him, the King of Nanling's expression turned somewhat ugly.

He had suffered a massive loss this trip. Not only did he get nothing, but he also had to prepare a congratulatory gift for Ye Qing when he returned.

What a mess.

Sigh!

But, a gift is a gift.

"Alright, Ye Qing, you should prepare yourself. You'll head to the Imperial Capital Barrier later. It's fine, just take the essential things with you. You don't need to prepare anything else; just leave it here. After all, this Qishan Villa will be kept for you in the future, and no one else will move in."

"As for the things inside, I'll help you preserve them. Whenever you want them, just let me know, and I'll directly have people escort them to you."

...

King of the Western Frontier: "..."

King of Nanling: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Good grief, your calculations are quite loud.

We all understand what you mean. Isn't this just to keep Ye Qing connected to the Modu Barrier and to you?

Ye Qing looked at everyone and then at King Fenghai. "Then thank you, King Fenghai. I will definitely come back in the future."

Then, he looked at the others. "Everyone, I will also visit your places in the future."

Boom!

This one sentence was like a sudden clap of thunder on level ground, making everyone's eyes widen in shock, almost unable to believe what they had heard.

Good grief, Ye Qing actually said such a thing.

In an instant, the King of the Western Frontier, the King of Nanling, and the others became excited.

Afterward, Ye Qing went to pick out some items to take with him in his System Space. As for other assets, he took what he could, and for what he couldn't, it was as King Fenghai said—he would just let King Fenghai know when he wanted them, and he would surely have someone deliver them.

This was not something Ye Qing needed to worry about.

A while later.

The news spread.

Within the Yu Family.

The old man was drinking tea in his room when a figure hurriedly rushed toward him.
