Du Shaofu did not refuse. Since this youth was willing to bring him along, that would naturally be the best.
"Roar!"
After a while, on Huangfu Qi's mount, Du Shaofu followed Huangfu Qi and left.
"Brother Du, where did you come from and how did you get lost in this place?"
On the Demon Leopard's back, Huangfu Qi was rather curious about Du Shaofu and felt a strange feeling from the aura on Du Shaofu's body.
"I came here to hone myself, but I didn't expect to get lost." Du Shaofu replied.
What Du Shaofu said could not be considered to be false, Huangfu Qi did not suspect anything either, the two were of a similar age, but after chatting for a bit, they started to get to know each other.
From Huangfu Qi's words, Du Shaofu knew that he had indeed reached the Central Region. However, because of the vastness of the Central Region, it covered an unfathomable area. This was the Central Region, but it still belonged to the periphery.
Above the Central Region, were countless nations. In his heart, Du Shaofu felt that the strength of an empire above the Central Region was also much stronger than that of an empire like the Stone Dragon Empire.
From Huangfu Qi's words, Du Shaofu learned that there were often dozens of King Level Expert s in an empire.
If it was an extremely powerful empire, there could be up to a hundred King Level Expert s and six Star Spirit Tailsman Master s.
There would often be small skirmishes between countries, and the solutions were all related to strength. However, big ruckus was a rare occurrence.
After all, the ones who truly controlled the Central Region were the nine great forces.
Although there were still many tyrannical powers above the Central Region and their strengths were also extremely powerful, it was still difficult for them to truly fight against the nine great forces.
However, those great powers also had their own places in the Central Region, so even the nine great forces had to give them some face.
"Above Central Region, which nine great forces are there?"
Du Shaofu asked curiously. Now that he was in the Central Region, he needed to know about the nine great forces there.
"Could it be that the Brother Du isn't a person above the Central Region, and actually doesn't know about the nine great forces?" Huangfu Qi was a little suspicious. It was likely that any cultivator above the Central Region would know about the nine great forces.
"To be honest, I come from a remote place, and this is my first time coming to the Central Region, so I don't know much about it."
Du Shaofu said with a wry smile. In comparison, Dark Forest and Stone City were absolutely a remote place.
Hearing Du Shaofu's words, Huangfu Qi was no longer suspicious, he looked at Du Shaofu and introduced: "The so-called nine big powers, are all referring to the words' one valley two sects, three sects, three sects, and Central Region '."
"One valley, two sects, all within the Spirit Martial Realm. Three sects, three sects, and three profound strength sects." Du Shaofu raised his eyebrows.
Huangfu Qi gave Du Shaofu a slight smile and said: "These words are about Spirit Sky Valley, Immeasurable Religion, Big Wheel Religion, Ancient Sky Sect, Celestial Snake Sect, Celestial Capital Sect, Intellectual Sword Sect, Profound Talisman Sect. These nine great forces' names shake the Central Region, and experts are as numerous as the clouds."
Du Shaofu took the nine great forces that Huangfu Qi had mentioned into heart one by one. He seemed to have secretly taken action himself, his Celestial Snake Sect, Profound Hell Sect, and Profound Talisman Sect;
After a while, Du Shaofu's face slightly twitched, and he asked Huangfu Qi: "Then what about Bright Divine Court, Seven Stars Hall, and other such forces compared to the nine great forces?"
Hearing this, Huangfu Qi glanced at Du Shaofu with some suspicion. It seemed that he found it strange that Du Shaofu did not know about the nine great forces, but knew about powers like Bright Divine Court, Seven Stars Hall, and so on, and then said: "Seems like Junior Du knows quite a bit about them too. Although their Bright Divine Court is not comparable to the nine great forces, but it is said that there is a great possibility of catching up to the nine great forces in the future.
After pausing for a moment, Huangfu Qi said as he looked at Du Shaofu. As for Netherworld Religion, they are not weak either, just that compared to the nine great forces, they are nothing. "
Du Shaofu nodded slightly upon hearing this, as he had a rough idea of what to do in his heart.
Unknowingly, the two youths had chatted for more than half a day. The mountain range gradually passed by and their line of sight started to be vast. A stretch of buildings appeared in front of them and people started to float in the air.
"Junior Du, the area outside of Northern Tomb City is right in front of us. We should be able to enter Northern Tomb City within an hour."
Huangfu Qi introduced the two youths to Du Shaofu, and after the small talk, they unconsciously closed the distance between them.
Du Shaofu smiled slightly. His impression of Huangfu Qi was also very good.
From their casual conversation, Du Shaofu found out that Huangfu Qi's father was a king in the Northern Tomb Empire, and the Huangfu Family even had royal bloodline Subfamily.
The current monarch of the Northern Tomb Empire could be considered Huangfu Qi's cousin uncle. However, compared to the Huangfu Family's main clan, Huangfu Qi was a lot more, and he was already separated by quite a few generations.
An hour later, the outline of a vast city appeared, coiling around like a flood dragon. Large, majestic buildings towered in the sky.
"Junior Du, this is your first time coming to the Central Region. You can stay in the Northern Tomb City for a few days, no need to be courteous."
Huangfu Qi very amiably pulled Du Shaofu into Northern Tomb City. With his identity as the young noble of Northern Tomb City, he naturally wouldn't obstruct anyone from entering the city on his demon leopard mount.
The Northern Tomb City was vast, and the streets were packed with people. Noises came out, and compared to the Dragon City, it was much more prosperous.
On the streets, there were quite a few auras fluctuating. When Du Shaofu spied them, his expression changed greatly.
Cultivator of Pulse Spirit Stage s who were rarely seen in the Stone Dragon Empire could be seen everywhere in the Northern Tomb City.
After passing through many bustling streets and looking down from the sky, Du Shaofu finally had a rough understanding of how strong the Northern Tomb City was.
In the end, the demonic mount landed in front of a majestic building. In front of the door, there was a signboard with the words' Redflame Mansion 'on it. On the small plaza in front of it, there were many soldiers wearing armor with sharp auras.
"Greetings, young prince."
Seeing Huangfu Qi, everyone bowed respectfully.
Huangfu Qi jumped off the demonic leopard's mount and smiled at Du Shaofu: "Brother Du, we have arrived."
"Little Qi, where did you go? I couldn't find you anywhere."
Just as Huangfu Qi's words fell, a tall figure hurriedly walked out from within the Crimson Flame Royal Palace. The moment the words were spoken, the figure had directly rushed to Huangfu Qi's side.
"Second Uncle, I'll go and help Father find the blood of the Ice Demon Python. With the Ice Demon Python's Blood Essence, Father's injuries will quickly recover." Huangfu Qi said to the newcomer.
"Kid, why are you so disobedient? What if you meet with danger? Your father told you to come back, not to take the risk, but to entrust a heavy responsibility to you."
At this time, there seemed to be something more important to ask, and he said to Huangfu Qi: "Quickly go to the Imperial Palace. The Imperial Palace has already sent people over this morning, and the adults have already arrived, and some of the young distinguished guests that accompanied them here today want to go around. That's why you have to make sure that all the young generation of the Huangfu Family will perform well, this matter is of great concern not only to you, but also to the entire family."
"Have we arrived yet?"
Huangfu Qi's gaze wavered slightly, as if he was somewhat unwilling, but he did not express it. He then took out a few jade bottles from the Universe Bag and passed them to the middle-aged man, and said: "Second Uncle, these are the blood of the Ice Profound Demon Python. You find the Medicine Talisman Master to refine into a Blood Essence and treat Father.
"Hurry up and go."
The middle aged man looked up at the sky and said to Huangfu Qi: "I'm afraid that they have already gone to the Royal Garden, you should quickly go there."
"Alright."
Huangfu Qi nodded his head, then looked at Du Shaofu beside him, and said: "Junior Du, you should come with me, it's a good opportunity to bring you to the Imperial Palace for a taste."
"Alright." Du Shaofu nodded his head, since he had nowhere to go, he could go to the Northern Tomb Empire's imperial palace.
"Roar!"
The two of them had just landed on the ground when they once again rode on their Demonic Panther mounts and left.
"Brother Du, later we will go to the Royal Garden, we need to meet some important people there, you have to take a good look at them, but do not speak carelessly, and do not know the nature of those people, but I am afraid we cannot afford to offend them." On the demon leopard mount, Huangfu Qi said to Du Shaofu.
"Alright." Du Shaofu smiled faintly.
"Sigh ?"
Hearing that, Huangfu Qi then sighed: "Those people are of different origins, they are indeed different, but I do not think that they have to be born from a power, there are many experts in this world who relied on their own experience and hard work, they are still renowned in the Central Region, and will definitely not be inferior to those who are born from those super powers."
Du Shaofu raised his head slightly, and asked Huangfu Qi: "Seems like you're sighing quite a bit."
Huangfu Qi laughed bitterly, and said: "My current sect, even though they are not weak, can only be considered a second-rate sect in terms of their entire Central Region. But I am actually very happy in the sect, Master and all the elders have taken care of me, but my father and the rest of the clan members hope that one day, I can join one of those super powers, and at that time, the entire clan will benefit from it."
Huangfu Qi sighed lightly, paused for a while, and helplessly said: "I understand their intentions, and understand them quite well, but I personally do not think that being within those colossal beings would necessarily suit me, and that I might be able to obtain the nurture of even more resources.
