At this time, Dongxiang County had already been taken over by the Lin family.
Hu Mazi was treated as an honoured guest by the Lin family. The head of the Lin family changed women for Hu Mazi to play with every day, making Hu Mazi so happy that he forgot to return home.
But Lin Yun’er had been unhappy all this time.
Chen Ping had gone to the Eighth Heaven, and she did not know how he was now or if she could see him again.
When Chen Ping appeared at the Lin family home, Lin Yun’er was instantly thrilled!
She clung to Chen Ping and they played together for a full three days.
However, while dual cultivating with Lin Yun’er, Chen Ping did not forget to practise his skills.
As the saying goes, sharpening the axe does not delay the chopping of firewood…
Chen Ping did not stay long in Dongxiang County. He soon took Hu Mazi to the Sixth Heaven!
Lin Yun’er was very reluctant to let him go, but she knew Chen Ping had important matters and did not stop him.
Chen Ping and Hu Mazi opened a void passage and went straight to the Sixth Heaven, then headed to the God Kingdom.
The God Kingdom at this time had not fully recovered to its peak period, but its strength was already one of the best in the Sixth Heaven.
Chen Ping and Hu Mazi arrived at the divine capital of the God Kingdom, dusty and weary.
This city, once incredibly glorious, had not yet fully returned to the prosperity of its heyday. But the bustling crowds on the streets and the buildings standing shoulder to shoulder still showed its status as an important place in the Sixth Heaven.
As soon as the two reached the city gate, they were stopped by a guard general.
The general was burly, with a face full of fierce flesh. His small eyes darted around, revealing greed and cunning.
He looked Chen Ping and Hu Mazi up and down. Seeing their ordinary clothes, he thought they were easy targets to bully.
“Halt! You two, pay the toll to enter the city!”
The general put his hands on his waist and shouted loudly.
Chen Ping frowned, feeling displeased inside.
He had not expected to face such trouble at the gate of the God Kingdom’s capital.
And this general clearly did not recognise him, or he would never dare to be so bold.
“Toll? Let me ask, when did the God Kingdom have a rule about paying to enter the city?”
Chen Ping asked coldly, his voice carrying a trace of authority.
The general sneered with disdain. “Less talk! My rule is the rule. If you do not want to pay, get lost. Do not block the way!”
Hu Mazi, standing nearby, was furious. He was hot-tempered by nature and could not stand such treatment.
He stepped forward, pointed at the general’s nose, and cursed, “What are you? How dare you bully people like this! Believe it or not, I will slap you to death!”
The general was enraged by Hu Mazi’s words. He waved his large hand and shouted, “Men! Tie up these two fools who do not know death!”
In an instant, a group of guard soldiers rushed over and surrounded Chen Ping and Hu Mazi.
Chen Ping shook his head helplessly. He had not wanted to cause trouble, but this general was truly clueless.
He waved his hand lightly, and a powerful spiritual force spread out instantly. The soldiers had no time to react before they were shaken off balance, falling to the ground in all directions.
Seeing this, the general’s face turned very ugly.
He had not expected these two ordinary-looking people to have such strong power.
But he still talked tough and roared, “You dare to cause trouble at the divine capital’s gate? You have no respect for the law! Men, take them to the palace and let His Majesty deal with them!”
So, Chen Ping and Hu Mazi were bound by the soldiers and escorted to the palace.
Along the way, Hu Mazi kept complaining, while Chen Ping remained calm. He wanted to see how the kingdom’s lord Wu Hao would handle this once they entered the palace.
When they were brought to the palace, Zi Yuan happened to see them.
Zi Yuan was now the prime minister of the God Kingdom. She wore a gorgeous purple long dress and an exquisite hair ornament, looking noble and elegant.
Seeing Chen Ping and Hu Mazi tied up, she was first stunned, then filled with rage inside.
