A shadow crossed the endless sea of clouds at a terrifying speed, passing over villages and small towns in moments.
Yang Jing was shocked to see the speed at which they were going, passing over cities and regions in the blink of an eye. Although she had flown before with her big brother, Xiao Chen, they had not yet flown this high, let alone flown at such terrifying speed.
At this moment she had flown over the sky a great amount of distance, much more than when Xiao Chen was taking her flying with him when he obtained the legendary flying sword.
A protective aura enveloped the flying sword, especially Yang Jing so that she would not be affected by the terrifying force of the wind and pressure.
Yang Jing's gaze finally shifted to Ling Tian behind her, looking at him silently and secretly. Her mind quickly harbored many thoughts, from wondering about Ling Tian's true purpose for separating her from her brother, to what level of strength Ling Tian had reached. Yang Jing was not naive enough to think that someone so powerful would selflessly help her, saying that she wanted her big brother to become stronger for his own sake.
"Do you want to ask something?"
Ling Tian's voice came smoothly to Yang Jing.
Yang Jing looked at Ling Tian sideways for a couple more seconds before she regained her gaze and continued to stare straight ahead.
Ling Tian looked at Yang Jing and said nothing more. He could feel her gaze clearly despite trying to go unnoticed.
At this moment, they were heading back to the capital. Ling Tian estimated that there was less than an hour left flying at such a speed, as he had not gone that far.
Once they reached the capital, Ling Tian would use the teleportation formation to travel directly to the east state.
Ling Tian could reach the capital of the south state, Qingwei City, faster if he used instant transmission, spanning dozens of kilometers in a few moments, being faster than the flying sword. However, he was not alone and Yang Jing was with him, and since Yang Jing had not cultivated, using teleportation often would be detrimental to her.
Despite this, the speed at which they were traveling on the flying sword was no less than a special high-grade flying artifact, which could travel hundreds and thousands of kilometers in minutes.
A small dot soon appeared in the distance.
Ling Tian accelerated the speed a little more, heading towards that point in the distance.
They finally arrived at Qingwei City, the current capital of the south state!
In a few seconds they had already reached the outskirts of the southern capital, bumping into people entering and leaving the city.
Ling Tian saw that still the line to enter the capital was huge, but he only watched for a moment and directly entered the capital flying in the sky. Some cultivators who flew in using the flying sword were also stopped, but they apparently showed some kind of badge or document and finally let them pass, so they probably belonged to some higher force in the capital.
"Hey! It is forbidden to enter the capital by flying over the sky!"
Suddenly, an overwhelming voice that carried for a few kilometers reached Ling Tian and Yang Jing's ears.
A figure wearing a particular uniform flew directly over the sky, appearing in front of them. A powerful aura emerged from this person.
The flying sword stopped in midair.
Yang Jing could not help but be surprised when she saw this man fly by himself in the air. Although she did not feel any pressure or aura coming from this man unlike in the past, Yang Jing clearly remembered that only experts who have reached the golden core realm can fly by themselves!
Her big brother, Xiao Chen, had reached the peak of the foundation establishment realm, and was just a short time from breaking through and entering the golden core realm. However, Yang Jing had found another expert who had most likely reached the golden core realm.
"What do you want?" Ling Tian asked indifferently, looking without joy or sadness at the man in front of him, who was one of the capital's guards.
"It is forbidden to fly into the capit..."
The guard showed a firm and superior bearing at first, explaining the rules of the capital. But when his eyes finally focused and fully saw Ling Tian's face, he was shocked and above all frightened; the words that were about to come out of his throat could not finally come out, his body trembled and a shiver crossed his spine.
"Do you have a problem with me?" Ling Tian asked again, realizing that this guard had probably recognized him.
The guard quickly shook his head as his body continued to tremble, cold sweat drenched his body, while he didn't know what to do, whether to apologize or escape.
This young man that the guard had in front of him was a supreme expert of the world!
The guard would never forget this young man, who easily wiped out the ancestors of the Guiyan family just by waving his hand. The scene where a giant hand appeared in the sky, emerging from this young man, was permanently etched in his mind.
A terrifying expert of the great ascension realm!
Only such experts could summon the legendary cultivation essence giant hand flawlessly!
The gazes of dozens and even hundreds of people were on this place, but the guard didn't care and simply continued to tremble at the sight of Ling Tian.
"If you don't have anything to say then I'll move on."
Ling Tian indifferently looked at this guard and directed the flying sword, finally entering the capital.
The guard nodded slowly, feeling that at any moment the strength would disappear from his body and he would fall straight to the ground after simply shaking his head. The pressure of standing before such a supreme expert had left him breathless and weak.
A poor cultivator in the golden core realm was no different from an ant in front of these master experts who could change heaven and earth with their hands.
Some guards finally approached this guard, and after a few seconds several of them flew off in different directions.
Ling Tian noticed this but thought nothing of it. He quickly went inside and after a moment's thought changed the direction of his destination, heading towards a particular building near the center of the capital.
"Wait here."
Ling Tian and Yang Jing stepped off the flying sword, before Ling Tian entered a giant building in front of them. His gaze rested on Yang Jing for a few moments before entering.
Yang Jing watched Ling Tian enter the building, her eyes looked around and a hint of awe and surprise appeared in them.
Dozens of cultivators were traveling in the sky, either by flying sword or without them, flying by themselves. Some strange simple boats or luxurious giant ships appeared in the sky as well, no more than three of them.
The auras exuded by the people passing near Yang Jing were so powerful and profound, although they were not directed at her, it made Yang Jing realize that these people were even stronger and more powerful than the elders and ancestors of her family.
"So this is the capital, the great Qingwei City." Yang Jing whispered still in amazement.
Yang Jing had never left the village since she was born, much less left the southern region, but she had read a lot and knew a few things about the southern capital, where the strongest forces, clans and families of the entire south state were located.
And now she was really in this place.
Soon, a sadness came over her. Although Yang Jing had wanted to come to the capital before, at this moment it brought her no joy, her brother, Xiao Chen, was not with her, and Yang Jing's current state was like a hostage, so she couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"Brother, sister Momo..." Yang Jing whispered, thinking of both Xiao Chen and Ziu Momo, this female friend who had become a sister to them as well.
After several minutes, Ling Tian finally came out of the building. The gloomy expression in his eyes finally subsided, revealing a slight smile.
"Let's go."
Ling Tian took out the flying sword and he and Yang Jing climbed back on, heading towards the teleportation formation in the center of the city.
A shadow crossed the endless sea of clouds at a terrifying speed, passing over villages and small towns in moments.
