Chapter Fifty-Seven: Hunting in the Eastern Suburbs

  Time is passing day by day, and autumn has arrived. The sky is also getting cooler! In the clean imperial capital, leaves are falling everywhere, emitting a faint sense of desolation!

  Almost overnight, the entire imperial capital was filled with a different kind of hustle and bustle. The various major aristocratic families, the forces in the wild, and even the common people were all spreading it, making this imperial capital, although desolate, still reveal an extraordinary explosion!

  Today is the day for hunting in Dongjiao!

  Eastern Suburbs Hunting, is a command personally issued by the Holy Master after the establishment of the Great Hua Dynasty, aimed at not allowing the descendants of various kings, nobles and aristocrats to become decadent because of their noble life.

  Set up an Eastern Suburbs Hunting Festival, let all young generations participate, ride horses and show off their skills!

  In this grand gathering, if one achieves good results, regardless of their background, they will receive a certain reward and even have the opportunity to serve the imperial court and gain a better cultivation environment.

  The world of martial arts, a good training environment, is always what every martial artist strives for!

  The Great Hua Imperial Family, although it was established for only a short period of several decades, inherited the vast foundation of the previous dynasty. What they possess is also a huge number. With these, they are not afraid of failing to attract talents.

  This is also the reason why the royal family is now vigorously promoting the Dongjiao Hunting Festival, even issuing a special decree that all young people from major wealthy families in the imperial capital must participate if they have no important matters.

  After the garden, in a quiet and independent courtyard, suddenly, a loud roar of anger shook the entire town's royal palace. Immediately, countless people in the palace saw that in mid-air, a long dragon with a cyan color was hovering and circling!

  The majestic momentum, looking down on the world, that one stock of being the only one who is invincible, makes all other living beings in the palace, trembling and prostrating themselves on the ground without moving.

  "He actually broke through!"

  In the Wangfu, several places, a shocking whispering sound kept coming out.

  Especially in the depths of the mansion, Old Master Chen's face was shocked beyond words.

  That illusory dragon, was not a true angry dragon, but just an aquatic dragon transformed from the body of an aquatic dragon. However, in Chen Ye's hands, it became an existence that had transformed the aquatic dragon into a true angry dragon.

  This method, Old Man Chen himself can also achieve, however, Old Man Chen only achieved it after cultivating the second layer of the Jiaolong Body's Heart Method, Chen Ye has not cultivated the second layer of the Heart Method.

  From this point alone, we can see Chen Ye's talent, diligence and perseverance!

  Gazing at the swirling, endless illusory dragon, Old Man Chen's eyes deepened, with boundless hope surging out, but at the same time, there was also a hint of indescribable bitterness.

  If Chen Ye were to exhibit the second layer of the Jiaolong body's heart method, it would be extremely beneficial for both Chen Ye and the entire Chen family. However...

  "Yè ér, duì bù qǐ, yéye xiàn zài hái bù néng jiāo gěi nǐ gèng shēn céng cì de xīn fǎ, yīnwèi, ruò shì ràng rén zhī dào le, yéye zài zìshēn tiáo jiàn hái méi yǒu dá dào zhī qián, jiù jiāng xīn fǎ chuán chū qù, zhěng gè Chén jiā, jiù huì lìjí zhāo lái shā wū zhī huò."

  Translation:

  "Yè ér, I'm sorry, Grandfather cannot give you more profound heart methods for now. If people were to find out that Grandfather had passed on the heart method before his own conditions were met, the entire Chén family would immediately invite disaster and slaughter."

  "Roar!"

  A thunderous roar shook the sky, and dozens of large trees around the courtyard swayed in unison. Countless leaves were swept up by a gust of wind brought forth by an illusory dragon, swirling into the air. The illusory dragon coiled forward, unleashing a crushing force that erupted from its head, spreading instantly throughout its entire length. In the next instant, countless leaves transformed into snowflakes dancing in the sky...

  "There is no second layer of mental method, with the help of a small knife, the power of the dragon body may not necessarily continue to increase, it's just that in this way, more energy needs to be invested, and it seems that too much time has been wasted."

  The illusory dragon dissipated, and Chen Ye stood alone in the courtyard, dressed in white, lost in deep thought.

  At this moment, two urgent horseshoe sounds rang out outside the Wang Mansion. Soon after, a loud laughter echoed through the air and spread throughout the Wang Mansion.

  "Haha, Chen Ye, the day for hunting in the eastern suburbs has arrived, what are you still doing hiding at home?"

  A sound surged forth, Chen Ye smiled faintly in the dead of night, and his white robes transformed into a dragon that burst through the air and departed.

  "Fu Bo, saddle up for me!"

  Outside the palace gate, as soon as the night fell, a servant came over with a purple-black horse.

  "Little master, your horse!"

  Chen Ye nodded slightly, looked at the purple-black horse for a moment, and then got on the horse. The purple-black horse was not familiar with Chen Ye, so it suddenly made a series of "neighing" sounds, raised its front hooves high, as if wanting to throw Chen Ye off its back.

  For these, Chen Ye didn't care and his gaze was fixed on another two horses' silhouettes!

  After a long time, Chen Ye said calmly: "Are your injuries all healed? Did you receive any pressure at home?"

  "I'm fine, but Old Master is now in cahoots with Old Wang, so nothing will happen to him." Clad in purple attire, with a white fan in front of him, Ye Shuo felt an inexplicable sense of elegance. He pointed at Tie Yu Tian and said: "On the other hand, this guy has been having a really tough time lately."

  "Has the imperial family made a move against the Tie clan?" Chi looked at Tie Yi Tian, and Chen Ye's voice gradually turned cold.

  "It's just an imperial decree."

  Tie Yitian burst out laughing, saying: "The imperial edict says that the Tie family has been loyal for generations. I, Tie Yitian, am particularly outstanding at a young age. As a special reward, I, Tie Yitian, can enter and exit the imperial palace's restricted areas at will and freely browse the imperial collection of martial arts!"

  At this, Chen Ye's face changed slightly and he said in a cold voice: "The Emperor's move is not only high enough, but also has enough momentum!"

  The royal family's treasured martial art, how profound it is. The entire Great Huahua Dynasty has countless people yearning for it. Even though the Tie family in the Imperial City has a strong influence and a good foundation, they still can't resist this temptation.

  Although only Tie Yitian was allowed to browse, wasn't it also a huge benefit for the entire Tie family?

  The fraternal feelings, Chen Ye naturally believed in Tie Yi Tian, but as for other people in the Tie family, Chen Ye couldn't guarantee it.

  Seeing Zhen's gloomy expression at night, Ye Shuo smiled and said: "So, this guy has been having a pretty bad time lately."

  "Yitian, sorry..."

  "Cut to the chase!"

  Tie Yi Tian patted the horse's back, and the fine horse let out a long whinny, galloping away like a shooting star.

  "Today is the day for us brothers to vent our anger, you two guys mustn't fall behind."

  The sound came, and the figure had already gone far away.

  Ye Shuang smiled calmly and immediately rode away: "Can Ye, you shouldn't be worried that Yi Tian can't handle it, should you?"

  At midnight, I gazed at the two brothers who were leaving in the distance. The corners of my mouth involuntarily curled up into a beautiful arc. It had been almost a month since we last met, and the cultivation of the two brothers had advanced to another level. Great!

  The venue for the Eastern Suburbs Hunting Festival is located in a vast open space east of the Imperial City.

  This empty ground was paved with stone slabs, and in the center, a platform of several meters high was built. This is where the young generation from various major families come to challenge each other for the final test.

  And this grand gathering, apart from such competitions, is also called hunting, so naturally there will be a large-scale beast-hunting activity.

  Apart from fierce beasts such as lions, tigers, leopards, wolves and bears, there is another kind of beast called the demon beast!

  When the three of them arrived at noon on the third day, there were already many people in this vast empty space.

  The empty land in the middle of the arena was surrounded by many heavily armored Huajun soldiers, and on top of the arena, a golden flag was fluttering in the wind.

  On the flag, a five-clawed golden dragon is vividly depicted, with its head fierce and its body enormous. The dragon's tail coils around, exuding an aura of unparalleled majesty and dignity that floats gently in the air...

  "It turns out that His Majesty the Emperor has arrived! Ye Shuo, Yi Tian, go and pay your respects to His Majesty!"
