193: The empress and all the civil and military officials in the court came to welcome her from a hundred miles away!

Li Shengyuan and the others did not stay in Yuehua Palace for too long; five days later, after exploring most of Yuehua Palace, they once again embarked on their journey back to the capital.

Li Shengyuan and Yue Xiyan had also made love in every corner of her bedchamber, and even tried it on a small boat, rocking back and forth on the Crescent Moon Lake after setting up an isolation array...

Everywhere was filled with their memories, the only regret being that he couldn't be with Yue Qingmeng...

However, the obstacle of their identities was difficult for both of them to overcome, so they could only take it slowly.

Otherwise, the large bed in his home, big enough for ten people, would be wasted...

In the end, Yue Xiyan and Yue Qingmeng, this master-disciple and sister pair, did not stay behind, but instead decided to travel to the capital with Li Shengyuan.

One reason was to meet Li Shengyuan's grandfather in the capital and experience the prosperity of the capital.

She could also travel the world with him, help him fight against the Demonic Cult, and after breaking through to the second rank, Yue Xiyan was a formidable force that could influence the outcome of a battle!

The most important thing was that the two were now like newlyweds, in the midst of their honeymoon, and Yue Xiyan found herself increasingly unable to leave Li Shengyuan...

As for Moon Clearsnow, her senior sister, she planned to stay in the palace and cultivate diligently, waiting until her strength was sufficient to then go to Shanhai Pass to cultivate.

Yue Xiyan and Granny Hua had already begun training her to be the next Palace Master of Yuehua Palace; as long as she could break through to the third rank, she could directly succeed.

It was just that with Yue Xiyan, her second-rank master, supporting her, her cultivation pressure was not as great as Yue Xiyan's had been in the past.

Standing on the warship engraved with the words "sky abyss," Li Shengyuan and the others bid farewell to Granny Hua.

"Goodbye, Granny Hua, Xiyan and I will definitely come back to see you often!"

"Alright, I know you are busy, just occasionally take some time to come back and see this old woman!" Granny Hua replied kindly.

Wenren Qingxuan smiled and promised, "Don't worry, Granny Hua, I will definitely urge them often; as soon as there's good news, I'll tell Granny Hua immediately!"

"Good, good, good... with your words, Qingxuan, this old woman is relieved." Granny Hua's aged face was full of smiles.

Yue Xiyan's nose tingled slightly, and she said with a slight choke, "Goodbye, Granny Hua, please take care of yourself, we will come back to see you often!"

"Mm, go..."

Granny Hua waved her hand kindly and gently; at this moment, her feelings were like those of a mother seeing her daughter off to be married...

The sky abyss began its journey, heading south, and Li Shengyuan held the small hands of the somewhat downcast master and disciple, Yue Xiyan and Yue Qingmeng.

He smiled and softly comforted them, "Don't worry, Granny Hua is still hale and hearty, she will definitely live to see our little baby."

Yue Xiyan lightly spat, not refuting, and then nestled herself into Li Shengyuan's arms.

Yue Qingmeng, on the other hand, blushed and said nothing; with so many people around, she felt very shy talking about a little baby, after all, she was still a child herself...

It seemed that Yue Xiyan was sometimes more open than her disciple.

Li Shengyuan then continued softly, "Don't worry, when we return to the capital this time, I will have Ye Hangzhou refine pills to treat Granny Hua; if Ye Hangzhou can't do it, I'll find his senior brother; if that still doesn't work, I'll find the Chancellor. I don't believe that old fellow won't give me face now!"

His tone was incredibly firm, and Yue Xiyan and Yue Qingmeng, the master and disciple, were deeply moved.

He lightly patted their backs, "Even if it can't be completely cured after many years, it can make Granny Hua feel much better and greatly extend her lifespan!"

"Thank you, Shengyuan..."

At this moment, Wenren Qingxuan also interjected with a smile, "We're all family, don't be so polite with him!"

Li Shengyuan: "..."

After leaving Yuehua Palace, the sky abyss began to accelerate and did not stop again midway.

Everything in the Northern Region was settled; it was time to return to the capital.

A day later, they crossed the Northern Region and arrived at the Taihang Mountain Range, the border between the Central Plains and the Northern Region.

Compared to the low mountains of the Northern Region, the Taihang Mountain Range soared into the clouds, encircling most of the Central Plains region, and within the mountains were various fierce beasts and rare treasures, making its resources abundant.

It was precisely because of this that countless strong cultivators could be nurtured in the Central Plains.

It took another day and night for the sky abyss to cross Zheng Prefecture, which Ye Hangzhou had crossed with a single teleportation.

Even a thousand miles away, the people on the sky abyss could already see the general outline of the capital.

From above, one could see that the capital encompassed many high mountains and rivers, truly the heartland of Great Qian!

In an era dominated by low-rise buildings, a city accommodating tens of millions of people showed how vast it was!

In the sky, airships constantly passed beneath the sky abyss; the closer they got to the capital, the more airships they encountered.

Without exception, they all looked at this giant in the sky with astonishment, then steered far away...

Land, rivers, and sky were all in constant motion; people from all over the world yearned for this greatest city under heaven!

Everyone on the warship was immensely excited at the sight.

Li Shengyuan looked at the outline of the capital, a smile also appearing on his face.

"Capital... I, Li Shengyuan, am back!"

The Cangsheng Brush in his arms also joyfully flew out and stood shoulder to shoulder with him, looking at the capital a thousand miles away!

It had already sensed the aura of its true master!

Although Li Shengyuan felt good to him, compared to his true master, it was still a bit lacking.

Lightly stroking the Cangsheng Brush, Li Shengyuan smiled, "Don't rush, I'll take you to see grandfather soon."

Li Mu also stood shoulder to shoulder with him at this moment, hands clasped behind his back, looking at the capital a thousand miles away, and sighed with a smile:

"I haven't been back for a few years, but the capital is still the same... as prosperous as ever!"

After being away on assignment for over a year, both the Demon Suppression Envoys of the Demon Suppression Division and the Warlock of Imperial Observatory were incredibly excited.

They were all eager to return to their homes and share the exciting experiences of the past year with their relatives and friends...

Everyone had endless stories to tell their family and friends, and gradually, everyone became teary-eyed.

Yue Xiyan and the others from the Northern Region, who were visiting the capital for the first time, were also inexplicably excited; the greatest city under heaven, long renowned, finally seen today!

A thousand miles away was but a moment for the sky abyss.

When they arrived a hundred miles outside the capital, a group of capital Jin Yi (Golden Cloaks) clad in golden armor blocked the sky abyss's path.

Leading them was a golden dragon carriage pulled by nine golden flood dragons, each with the strength of a third-rank demon king, all exuding terrifying pressure!

On both sides of the dragon carriage were all the civil and military officials of Great Qian, and the one leading them, standing with hands clasped behind his back and a slight smile, was none other than Li Shengyuan's grandfather, Li Cangsheng!

The people on the sky abyss, seeing this grand display, were immediately stunned speechless.

The Emperor actually personally led all the officials to welcome them a hundred miles outside the capital!

This alone would be enough to boast about for generations!

At this moment, the golden curtain of the dragon carriage was pulled back, revealing Empress Mu Qingning, the Empress of Great Qian, clad in a golden dragon robe with a majestic demeanor!

Looking at Li Shengyuan at the bow of the sky abyss, their gazes met from afar, and a slight smile appeared on Empress Mu Qingning's majestic face.

Then, a voice suppressing joy spread throughout the surroundings.

"I, leading all my civil and military officials, congratulate Gold Robe Li on his triumphant return!"
