Upon hearing this, the young girl in pink standing behind Mu Ruyue glanced at her oddly, "You don’t know about the recent happenings in the Imperial City? Impossible, everyone in hell knows what day it is a month later, and you don’t?"

Ye Sihuang’s eyes slightly darkened. He was about to speak when Mu Ruyue raised her hand to stop him.

"I’ve been living in seclusion on the mountain and indeed do not know what’s going on here."

The girl let out an "Oh" and suddenly understood, saying, "So you came from the mountains, no wonder you are so ignorant. Then let me graciously inform you that in a few days, it will be our Prison Festival, when our mysterious King will appear. Many gather in the Imperial City just to see the King during the Festival, but not everyone can meet His Majesty. Only the strong have the right to attend the Prison Festival."

Prison Festival?

Mu Ruyue slightly raised her eyebrows, fingers stroking her chin, "Didn’t see Wuchen at Tianluo Mountain, I wonder if he will appear at the Prison Festival..."

Regardless, as long as there is a shred of hope, he will not give up. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Huanghui, let’s go have a look as well."

...

Outside the Imperial City, the crowd gradually dwindled, some joyful, others disappointed; those barred from entry due to lack of strength couldn’t help but feel bitter as they looked at this magnificent city gate, unsure when they’d ever have the fortune to step inside...

Soon it was Mu Ruyue and the others’ turn.

However, given Mu Ruyue and Ye Wuchen’s current strength, if they did not intentionally release their aura, no one could detect the power within them.

Thus, the City Guard merely glanced at them and said indifferently, "Next!"

Hearing this, there was no change in Mu Ruyue’s expression, her tone as calm as wind, "You haven’t even assessed our strength, how can you say we have no right to enter the Imperial City?"

The City Guard sneered, "There’s not even a trace of Qi fluctuation on you, clearly you’re not Martial Artists. How did people like you even get to this place? Hurry up and scram, don’t obstruct my work!"

Clearly, the City Guard was somewhat impatient.

He had never seen such shameless people. Though both were extremely beautiful, he despised these types of ’vases’ the most in his life...

Without strength, in this hell where the strong are revered, they are bound to be bullied with no chance of rising.

Just as Mu Ruyue was about to speak, a cold and proud voice suddenly came from behind, "My master once told me that in this world, there are many strong beings, and those strong beings can conceal their strength so that no one can detect it unless your strength surpasses theirs, otherwise you won’t be able to feel their aura."

The City Guard’s face suddenly darkened, his venomous gaze swept toward the young girl in pink behind Mu Ruyue, and he said coldly, "Where did this wild girl come from, daring to be so disrespectful to me? Do you know who I am? If you offend me, no one can save you!"

"So what if I offend you? Let me tell you, from childhood to now, no one has dared to talk to me like that! I just can’t stand you acting all high and mighty. Who do you think you are, to dare insult me!"

The young girl in pink stood with her hands on her hips, raising her chin arrogantly as she spoke with overwhelming momentum.

A nearby elder who clearly knew the City Guard’s identity hurriedly tugged at the young girl in pink’s sleeve, "Miss, this City Guard is one of the Prince’s men, you cannot afford to offend him, so you’d better not meddle, or you won’t even know how you died."
