The city lord that Song Yun spoke of was naturally the city lord of Underground Imperial City: Ji Hongling.

After seeing Ming Yu's performance that day, Ji Hongling had already made up her mind to meet him once. If she could get on good terms with this talent with great potential in the dynasty, it would definitely be extremely beneficial for her.

Just a week ago, Ji Hongling came to visit Ming Yu, but was told that Ming Yu was still in closed door cultivation, so she left quietly. In the next few days, it would not be good for her to come again, so she sent Song Yun to scout.

As long as Ming Yu came out of seclusion, he would immediately invite him.

Because of this, Song Yun had been here for six days already. Every day, he would give Yang Xuerong some new gifts, making her feel a bit embarrassed.

"Oh, Yu, you can go now. Go and come back as soon as possible. When you come back, I'll make you a Black Chicken Lotus Seed Soup." After receiving the gift for six days, Yang Xuerong felt that Deacon Song was really sincere, so she gave Ming Yu a suggestion.

Seeing Yang Xuerong's smiling face, Ming Yu thought that her Underground Imperial City must have put quite a bit of effort into trying to please Yang Xuerong. For the sake of her mother, she would go.

Also, since he knew Seventeenth Prince's identity, Underground Imperial City would not do anything to him.

No one would dare to assassinate him in a short period of time. As for the mysterious and special gift that Song Yun mentioned, Ming Yu did not think too much about it, because he did not know that the Mayor was a mysterious and alluring woman. He only thought that it was a gift.

But in actuality, the mysterious and special gift that Song Yun had mentioned was not that simple …

"Alright, lead the way."

Saying this, Ming Yu walked out of the Fallen Flower Hall, and Enforcer Song behind him nodded his head. After Ming Yu got on the carriage, he rode it and sped towards the Underground Imperial City.

Along the way, Ming Yu's mind kept repeating the practice method of the Fragmented Jade Soul-Broken Palm, and he unknowingly entered a meditative state.

Just as he was getting a better understanding of the palm technique, the carriage came to a halt.

Song Yun respectfully opened the curtain of the carriage and made a "please" gesture: "Your Highness Seventeenth Prince, we have arrived."

Ming Yu walked down the carriage, and under Song Yun's lead, they entered Underground Imperial City. He remembered the last time he had entered the Underground Imperial City, he was still alone, but now, he had entered under Song Yun's reception.

The Underground Imperial City was as noisy as before. The battle on the arena was unceasing, and the sounds of fighting came out one after another. Ming Yu couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

Just three months ago, he was still fighting on this stage, but today, the master of Underground Imperial City had directly invited him to meet him, allowing him to obtain the highest treatment.

As expected, things had changed.

Under Song Yun's lead, many people looked over and were shocked to discover that the one leading the way was Enforcer Song.

Song Yun possessed the strength of the eighth stage of the Mortality Transcending Stage and was a deacon with deep experience within the Underground Imperial City. This kind of arrogant old man who usually held his head high and didn't smile was currently speaking with a smile on his face and his back was slightly hunched beside this young man.

What was even more excessive was that the youth didn't seem to care about Enforcer Song …

"Who the hell is this person?"

"Ah!" I got it, he... He's the prince who defeated Ye Xi Du in the competition a few days ago, Ming Yu!

"It's him?" Someone exclaimed, "Look, Deacon Song is bringing him towards the underground passage, that is..." The city lord's residence, right? "

Someone gulped down a mouthful of saliva and muttered, "That should be a room set up at the bottom of the Underground Imperial City by the mayor … "What do you think the mayor wants him to do?"

"That's the City Lord's bedroom. Tell me, what does the City Lord want him to do? Can you really not say anymore?" The other man said with jealousy and envy.

"…"

Although these discussions were very soft, they were still heard by Ming Yu, who had sharp senses. Ming Yu couldn't help but smile faintly. It was just a guy showing his face so there was no need to make a fuss.

Under Song Yun's lead, Ming Yu walked towards the lower level of the underground tunnel. As they went deeper, the clamoring noises on the stage could no longer be heard. The only thing left was a winding, narrow tunnel decorated with crimson lights.

Finally, Ming Yu stood at the end of the tunnel. In front of him, there was a deep red door, and the door was made of dark red cloud wood, with fine and enchanting little golden patterns inlaid around the door. At the center of the door, there was a black "Ling" written above it.

Enforcer Song lightly knocked three times in front of the door and respectfully said: "City Lord, His Highness Seventeenth Prince has already arrived for you."

"Got it, you can go now."

There was a very small and elegant female voice. Deacon Song quickly replied, "Yes." Then, he slowly pushed open the crimson door and made a "please" gesture towards Ming Yu. Only when he saw Ming Yu enter did he gently close the door and leave.

So the mayor was a woman?

Ming Yu was slightly surprised. As soon as he entered the room, he immediately smelled a delicate fragrance. It was a faint sweetness, with a faintly discernible scent of gardenia. Just a breath of it was enough to calm one's mind and make one feel intoxicated.

The room in front of him could not be considered to be spacious. It was only an ordinary size, but the decorations were extremely exquisite.

The main hues in the living room were light red and black. On the round table in the middle of the room, there was a box of expensive rouge and water powder, as well as a mirror with a red frame.

It seemed to be a beautiful woman, but why did she bring me directly to her room? Ming Yu thought.

"Your highness Seventeenth Prince, you should rest in the guest room for a while, I'm still bathing, I'll be out soon." The voice came again, but it was no longer elegant. Instead, it was soft and pleasant to the ear.

Only then did Ming Yu notice the sound of water splashing coming from the bathroom not far away. Through the curtain on the side of the living room, he could clearly see the bathroom on the opposite side.

The bathroom window was covered by a red veil. The slim and alluring back of a woman was reflected on the red veil. It was extremely alluring.

Ming Yu casually swept a glance and retracted his gaze. He had a nagging feeling that something was wrong with this matter.

Just as he was pondering, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw two or three light looking undergarments carelessly thrown on the black leather seat at the side of the living room. It seemed that the woman had accidentally landed here before she had time to clean them …

What is he doing, causing trouble?

Ming Yu raised his eyebrows. He pretty much guessed the woman's motive as well.

At this time, the woman behind the red gauze stood up. After briefly wiping her body, she wore a slightly loose dark red robe. A layer of red gauze covered her face as she slowly walked over.

Her hair was not completely dry yet, and her entire body was emitting a faint fragrance. Her skin was white, and when paired with her bright red clothes, she had a lazy look.

"I didn't expect the mayor to be so interesting. He even had to wear a veil when they met to maintain a sense of mystery." Ming Yu smiled faintly.

The woman covered her mouth as she gently laughed, her quiet and hollow voice resounding once again, "I am afraid that His Highness will be unable to control himself once he sees my true appearance."

When it was necessary, the woman didn't mind letting Ming Yu see her true appearance. The moment Ming Yu saw her face, he would be conquered, but she wasn't in a hurry.

"It sounds so awesome." Ming Yu, who was completely unaware of the woman's plan, joked.

"Cluck, cluck …"

The woman laughed lightly and said: "Your Highness Seventeenth Prince, I am the City Lord of Underground Imperial City, Ji Hongling. I am very happy to be able to meet Your Highness today, and may not make it in time to prepare.

As she spoke, Ji Hongling stretched out her delicate and fair right hand and held it gently towards Ming Yu.

Ming Yu's symbolic handshake felt warm, tender and smooth, but he only shook it for a moment before releasing it. He cleared his throat and said, "I wonder why Miss Ji has brought me here?"

From the beginning till now, Ji Hongling had never revealed her purpose of coming here. Ming Yu believed that Ji Hongling would not be like those superficial singing and dancing geisha who only invited him for those things.

"Hehe, the reason I've invited you here today is to express how much I admire you."

Ji Hongling chuckled, "Ever since we met at the Imperial Family Competition, I felt that Your Highness was very charming, so I specially prepared three gifts for Your Highness. I hope Your Highness doesn't mind."

As he said this, he flicked his wrist, and a black ring-shaped item appeared in his hand.

"This first gift is called the Black Gold Wrister. Please do not underestimate it."1

Ji Hongling explained, "This wrist guard is made of black gold. It is extremely heavy and tough. Not only is it able to protect the arm, but it is also a storage device. It can store items here."

Ji Hongling put the Black Gold Wrister on her arm. The Black Gold Wrister had actually wrapped itself around her wrist according to the size of her wrist. Under the wrist guard, there was a black four-edged star button, which was where the items were stored.

"Your majesty, don't think that it is very small and small. In fact, it can hold a hundred square meters of things, and the sealed space inside is extremely stable. It is a treasure that you would only wish for."

Ji Hongling continued speaking as she took down the Black Gold Wrister and handed it over to Ming Yu.

Ming Yu weighed the Black Gold Wrister in his hand and observed it for a while. Then, he realized that what Ji Hongling said was true.

This kind of Storage Bag could store a lot of things, and with space being stable, it was an extremely expensive treasure. It would at least require over a million Black Jade to buy!

Ji Hongling continued to say with a smile, "And the next item will be this one."

Ji Hongling then took out a flying knife that was glowing with a cold light and laid it on the table. The flying knife was actually divided into nine pieces!

The knife itself is made of black iron essence, it is light and thin, it can cut through metal like mud, I will send you the method of manipulation, as long as you inject your spirit into the internal lines of the knife, you will be able to master these nine throwing knives in the future.

Ming Yu carefully looked at the nine throwing knives in front of him. Each flying knife was extremely bright and had exquisite engravings on it. Inside the blade, there were also some engravings that couldn't be seen on the surface.

These kinds of patterns were very particular. Only the users could control the throwing knives using the Spiritual Strength according to the control method they had set up, so other than the owner himself, no one else could control the throwing knives.

Furthermore, although the flying dagger looked light and nimble, it was actually extremely heavy. Even with Ji Hongling's cultivation of Mortality Transcending Stage that had returned to the eighth level, she was still unable to completely control the Sky Flying Knife.

Otherwise, Ji Hongling definitely wouldn't have given the Sky Flying Knife to Ming Yu.

After all, the Sky Flying Knife was a ninth level mystical weapon!

Ming Yu said with a deeper meaning, "Then Miss Ji, what is the last thing?"

Ji Hongling pursed her lips into a smile. "Your Highness, don't be anxious. This little girl will now introduce the last item."

As he said that, he took out a piece of yellowish parchment from the Storage Ring and spread it out on the table in front of Ming Yu.

"This is …"

"This is a remnant map of the Ten Thousand Beast Blood World."

Wu Tie was startled. How did Ji Hongling know about the matters within the Ten Thousand Beast Blood World? Did she know King Ming's intentions?

Actually, Ming Yu was overthinking things. Ji Hongling did not know that he was going to the Ten Thousand Beast Blood World, but it was because there was a peerless sword hidden within the remnant diagram of the Ten Thousand Beast Blood World!

Ji Hongling pointed at the upper left corner of the map with her slender finger that was smeared with red nail polish and said slowly, "Although I heard that the Ten Thousand Beast Blood World is vast and boundless, this is only a piece of a map, but what is written on it is the place where this sword is hidden."

"Five years ago, this little girl's uncle rushed out from the Ten Thousand Beast Blood World, yet he was severely injured, and died in less than half a year."

Ji Hongling said slowly: "Before dying, he passed the Sky Flying Knife to me and told me that this Sky Flying Knife was only there as a support. The true core is the sword on the map."

Ji Hongling's expression was grave as she spoke, "Rumor has it that an ancestor created a godly sword. Because he killed countless sinful demons, he was the sword of justice. At the same time, he was stained with blood and was filled with an intense aura of death and death. He was even the sword of death!"

Ming Yu's expression slowly darkened: "So, the thing on this map is the sword you were referring to?"

"That's right, it's precisely this sword. Its name is Yellow Springs."
