Demon's Diary

Chapter 1413: Check-in

Liu Ming took the purple jade tablet as instructed and saw some special runes on it.

He hung the jade tablet on his waist, then the guard leader’s voice sounded swiftly again,

“By the way, during the tribute ceremony, comprehensive martial law will be implemented in Imperial City. Everyone is strictly prohibited from fighting or causing trouble. Violators will be immediately arrested and sent to the Absolute Prison. In addition, here are some precautions in the city. Take a good look at it. Don’t disrupt the order in the Imperial City.”

With that said, the man handed another green jade slip to Liu Ming.

Liu Ming raised his eyebrows, took the jade slip, thanked the guard leader, and led Qing Yu and others into Central Imperial City.

After passing through the city gate, they came to an extremely wide street that seemed to lead in all directions. There were shops and buildings on both sides of the street.

The buildings in the city were mainly in dark colors, giving people a heavy and atmospheric feel. Other than that, they were not much different from ordinary cities.

Liu Ming did not stay here for long and flew directly toward the second city wall that was vaguely visible in the distance.

Their residence was in the Second City District behind the city wall.

Qing Yu and others’ eyes lingered on the surrounding bustling streets. They seemed to be quite interested in visiting the shops, but because Liu Ming was leaving, they dared not stop.

“There are still 3 days before the tribute ceremony. Let’s check in to the Genix Garden first, then you will have plenty of time to walk around the city.” Liu Ming seemed to have read everyone’s thoughts, and he said so.

“Thank you, family master.” Qing Yu and others expressed their gratitude with joy.

Central Imperial City was known as the biggest city in the Thousands Demons Continent. The largest trading houses and auction houses were all here.

Not to mention Qing Yu and others, Liu Ming himself planned to take a walk around Central Imperial City after settling the accommodation.

As Liu Ming thought so, he took out the green jade slip and read with Divine Thought.

In the jade slip, in addition to some precautions, there was also a detailed map attached at the end. The main streets and place names in Imperial City were marked clearly.

Liu Ming took a few glances and quickly found the location of Genix Garden.

“The Central Imperial is really planning this well.” He was a little happy. With this map, it would be much easier to move around in this huge imperial city.

From the outermost city wall to the second city wall, it was almost 300 miles. Along the main street, they soon arrived under the second city wall.

The city wall here was the same as before. There were guards at the entrance. The city gate was dozens of meters high. The main street in front was lined with people waiting to enter.

Next to the city gate, there was another gate of about the same size, which was the gate leading out of the city. Although there were guards, they rarely inspected the people going out of the city.

The number of people queuing up here was much smaller than at the first city wall. Most of them were in groups. The number ranged from dozens to hundreds.

On the contrary, there were only a dozen or so people in the Qing Family group, which was quite conspicuous.

Liu Ming didn’t care and lined up at the back of the line with Qing Yu and others.

In front of the Qing Family was a team wearing red robes. Liu Ming was slightly surprised to see them.

As the saying goes, enemies often cross paths. The group in front was none other than the Di Family.

The number of people on the Di Family’s tribute trip was much larger than that of the Qing Family. There were 80 people. The leaders were Di You and the young woman in a red robe who was knocked down by Liu Ming’s blow.

The Di Family people soon discovered Liu Ming and his party, and they were surprised too..

A trace of deep fear flashed in the eyes of Di You and the young woman in a red robe. However, this was in the Central Imperial City, so they were not afraid of Liu Ming seeking revenge.

“Family master, this…” Qing Yu walked to Liu Ming’s side and said softly.

“Ignore them.” Liu Ming said lightly.

Qing Yu looked at the Di Family with contempt and ignored them.

Liu Ming closed his eyes and rested his mind. He had no interest in the current Di Family, not even the interest to teach them a lesson.

They entered the city very quickly. A quarter of an hour later, the Di Family also completed the formalities for entering the city.

Liu Ming walked over calmly and handed over the family token and the jade tablet he obtained at the first city wall.

After a while, they completed the formalities for entering the city and went into the Second City District.

The main procedure for entering the city was to equip each Qing Family disciple with a black ring, but Liu Ming’s ring was blood-colored.

These rings were temporary passes. Their main function was to allow them to walk freely in certain specific areas in Central Imperial City temporarily.

Liu Ming turned the ring on her hand with a faint smile.

He learned from the jade slip that in the Central Imperial City, starting from the Second City District, many places had identity restrictions. Ordinary people and aristocratic families were not allowed to enter.

But with that black ring, they could access most places in the Second City District without obstruction.

However, the Third City District was the Demon Emperor Palace. The black rings couldn’t enter. Only the blood-colored ring of Liu Ming could enter.

Compared with the First City District, the buildings in the Second City District were much taller and the environment was quieter. The buildings and shops on both sides of the street also looked much higher-class, but the flow of people was relatively less.

Liu Ming looked at several material shops from the outside. Most of the items for sale inside were more precious than those outside.

The eyes of everyone of the Qing Family were firmly attracted by the surrounding shops. They followed Liu Ming reluctantly.

Qing Yu coughed heavily when he saw the expressions of the other disciples around him.

The somewhat fascinated disciples suddenly woke up and followed Liu Ming intently.

Liu Ming noticed this scene and nodded secretly to Qing Yu.

“Let’s go to Genix Garden first.” He flew away in one direction. Qing Yu and others hurriedly followed.

Perhaps because of its large area, Central Imperial City did not have an anti-flying enchantment, but only low-altitude flying was allowed. Otherwise, traveling here would be troublesome.

Half a quarter of an hour later, they came to a quiet manor building. The plaque hanging on the door had 2 characters “Genix Garden” written on it.

This place was already a remote area of the Second City District. It should be allocated to some small and medium-sized aristocratic families. However, it was still crowded with people. People coming and going were wearing various costumes of aristocratic families from all over the place.

Liu Ming sighed in his heart. Because of the Demon Emperor’s tribute ceremony, there were probably no less than hundreds of thousands of people from aristocratic families gathered in Central Imperial City. Fortunately, the Central Imperial City could accommodate all of them.

The Qing Family walked into Genix Garden, and immediately a middle-aged man who looked like the person in charge came over.

“Welcome, everyone! Can I have a look at your stay-in jade talisman and family token?” The middle-aged man bowed and said in a rather respectful tone.

Liu Ming glanced at the middle-aged man. His cultivation was only at the Real Pellet State, but he looked quite steady.

He handed over the jade tablet and the family master token to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man launched a symbol and the jade tablet immediately lit up.

“Okay, you all are indeed staying here.” The middle-aged man smiled, took out a white jade tablet, and swiped it on the Qing Family’s family master token.

Some information about the Qing Family as well as Liu Ming’s name immediately appeared on the jade tablet.

“It turns out to be Family Master Liu. As there are not many of you, you can live in the No. 29 Courtyard.” The middle-aged man showed a modest smile. He was obviously a tactful person. He showed no arrogance at all.

While the middle-aged man was talking, he led Liu Ming and the others into the Genix Garden.

Genix Garden looked like a large inn specially used to receive guests. It was quite similar to the Emerald Bamboo House where Liu Ming once lived in Guang Han City. The courtyards were arranged neatly together, but they varied in size. At a glance, there were no less than hundreds of such courtyards.

Soon, the middle-aged man took them to a medium-sized courtyard. There were 8 rooms in the courtyard, which could barely accommodate the people of the Qing Family.

“I’m really sorry. There are too many aristocratic families in Central Imperial City now, and housing arrangements are very difficult. Please don’t feel offended to stay here.” The middle-aged man said apologetically.

“Sir is polite. We are grateful to just have a place to stay.” Liu Ming said with a faint smile.

He had no requirements for living conditions.

“Family Master Liu, the tribute ceremony will be held in 3 days. At that time, all family masters need to go to the main hall of the Demon Emperor Palace to participate in the ceremony. As for other friends, they can move freely in the city.” The middle-aged man said to Liu Ming.

“Okay, I understand.” Liu Ming nodded.

The middle-aged man bowed to Liu Ming again, then he turned to say goodbye and left the courtyard.

Qing Yu quickly assigned the rooms.

Naturally, Liu Ming lived alone in the main room, which had the best conditions in the courtyard. The others shared a room with 2 people.

“Family master, now that we have settled down, the other disciples want to go shopping around the city. Can we…” After settling down, Qing Yu came to Liu Ming’s room and said carefully.

“Okay, you all can go out if you want. Fighting is strictly prohibited in the city, so your safety shouldn’t be a problem, but remember not to cause trouble.” Liu Ming thought for a moment and warned.

“Understood. Thank you, family master.” Qing Yu responded excitedly and quickly left Liu Ming’s room.

A moment later, a burst of footsteps sounded. All the Qing Family’s family members had left the courtyard.
