Chongming Island is divided into six prefectures: Ming Yang Prefecture, Da Ming Prefecture, Bian Yang Prefecture, Chong Yang Prefecture, Zhao Yang Prefecture, and Bei Yang Prefecture. Mingyang City, the capital of Chongming Island, was located within Mingyang Prefecture. Ming Yang Prefecture is located in the northwest of Chongming Island, bordering on the Eight Desolate Continents to the north and Leiyu Island to the west. It is the ruling center of King Du Zhenwei of Chongming.

With Chu Jun and Zhao Yu's speed, it would take them about ten days to arrive at Mingyang City from Secluded Sun City. This little fellow actually took the initiative not to follow him to Mingyang City . Chu Jun was both surprised and gratified. The next morning, he left with Zhao Yu for the capital of Chongming Island.

Fierce beasts haunted the Forest Mountain and Wild Valley along the way. However, with Chu Jun and Zhao Yu's current cultivation, as long as they weren't spirit beasts above level five, they wouldn't be a threat to them at all. After traveling for 11 days, they finally arrived at Mingyang City .

The walls of Mingyang City were two hundred meters tall and over a hundred meters thick. They were lofty, sturdy, and solemn. The walls above the city walls were fluttering with flags. From time to time, heavily guarded guards could be seen patrolling on them. Standing outside the city gate that was nearly thirty meters wide, a majestic aura pounced on his face. What a majestic city!

Just as Chu Jun and Zhao Yu were about to step into the city, the three xiuzhe walked towards them. One of them wore a square scarf, held a folding fan in his hand, dressed as a scholar, and had a long beard under his chin.

"Excuse me, are the two fellow daoists Chu Jun and Zhao Yu from the Dark Sun City of the Great Ming Prefecture?" The middle-aged scholar politely cupped his hands and asked politely. This fellow had plump Heavenly Court, big ears, a righteous face, and an extremely dignified aura. His cultivation was not concealed at all. He was actually a late-stage Golden Core expert. The two followers beside him were both peak late-stage Foundation Establishment experts, and one foot had already stepped into the Golden Core stage.

Chu Jun cupped his hands and said, "Exactly!"

"I, Dao Zheng Ming, am the Heavenly Policy Palace's Ce Qing. On the orders of the Palace Master, I have come to welcome the two fellow Daoists!" The middle-aged scholar smiled.

Ever since he learned that Du Wu was the Heavenly Policy Palace's Palace Master, Chu Jun had asked Li Xiangjun to inquire about the situation of the Heavenly Policy Palace. Thus, he knew that the Heavenly Policy Palace had six elders, ten Ce Qing, thirty Zhan Qing, five hundred Heavenly Guards, five hundred Ce Wei, and thousands of ordinary disciples below the Palace Master. This Dao Zheng Ming's bearing was extraordinary, and his cultivation was even higher. Du Wu had truly given him enough face by sending him to welcome him.

Chu Jun and Zhao Yu followed Dao Zheng Ming into the city and went straight to the Heavenly Policy Palace.

Dao Zheng Ming arranged for Chu Jun and Zhao Yu to stay. After chatting with the two of them for a while, he stood up and said with a smile, "Palace Master has been busy recently. The two fellow Daoists will rest for two days first. When Palace Master is done, he will receive the two of you. I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave first!"

Dao Zheng Ming spoke well and was polite along the way. Chu Jun had a good impression of him, so he stood up and sent him to the door.

Dao Zheng Ming left the courtyard with two attendants. After walking several hundred meters, the attendant on the left angrily said, "Lord Dao, those two people are only here to participate in the competition. You need to go out of the city to welcome them!"

As the name implied, Ce Qing was a strategist, equivalent to a military counselor. Only the Sixth Empress Elder of the Heavenly Policy Palace and ten Ce Qing could see how high Dao Zheng Ming's status in the Heavenly Policy Palace was, but the Palace Master had sent him to pick up two nameless soldiers. Naturally, the two of Dao Zheng Ming's followers were not angry at all.

Dao Zheng Ming stroked his long beard and glanced sideways at the attendant. He coldly scolded, "Idiot, the Palace Lord naturally has her reasons for letting this subordinate go down to pick up people!"

This attendant was usually very observant. When he received the task of accepting people, he had clearly seen his master's unhappy expression, so he expressed his unfairness at the right time. He did not expect that he would flatter the horse's leg. He hurriedly lowered his head and repeatedly admitted his mistake.

Dao Zheng Ming stroked his beard and continued forward. The attendant couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Dao Zheng Ming was one of the Ten Great Policy Secretaries of the Heavenly Policy Palace, ranked second only to Liu Yong, so when Du Wu instructed him to welcome Chu Jun and Zhao Yu, he was a little unhappy, but when he saw Chu Jun and Zhao Yu, he changed his mind. Dao Zheng was clearly able to become the Heavenly Policy Palace's Ce Qing. Naturally, he was not a petty and short-sighted person. When he saw Chu Jun and Zhao Yu, he immediately understood the Palace Master's intentions. Chu Jun was already twenty-one or twelve years old, and Zhao Yu was even more formidable. He was already in the middle of the Golden Core Stage before he was even in his early twenties. He was even more formidable than the Palace Master. It would be strange if the Palace Master did not try his best to recruit such a person. The displeasure in Dao Zheng Ming's heart was swept away and he warmly received the two of them.

Dao Zheng's eyes were still filled with poison. He predicted that with Chu Jun and Zhao Yu's talent, their future achievements would definitely not be inferior to his own. In addition, they were about the same age as the Palace Master. As long as they could successfully assist the Palace Master to come out of the eighteenth floor, they would become the Palace Master's left arm and right arm in the future.

Chu Jun and Zhao Yu stayed in the Heavenly Policy Palace, and only on the third evening did Du Wu send someone to summon them. Chu Jun couldn't help but be puzzled. When this woman returned to this place, she put on a show. Zhao Yu didn't have Chu Jun's'rebellious' thoughts of freedom and equality. She was the current princess, so it was not normal for her not to put on a show.

Chu Jun and Zhao Yu followed the waitress leading the way to a large hall. On the plaque were the words "Heavenly Policy Palace". The words were not very well written, but the scribbled brush had a wild and unruly edge, faintly revealing a sword intent. Chu Jun's heart skipped a beat. A resonance seemed to arise within his body. The Thunder Dragon Sword in his dantian trembled uneasily. A wisp of Berserk Sword Intent almost penetrated his body. He hurriedly shifted his gaze away in shock, placating the impulsive Thunder Dragon Sword. When he raised his head to look at the plaque, his expression changed. There were three small words Du Heping scrawled on the note below.

Chu Jun's heart skipped a beat. Du Heping was precisely Du Zhenwei's character. This plaque was actually the handwriting of Du Zhenwei, Chongming King of Chongming Island. No wonder it contained such terrifying sword intent in just a few words. Obviously, this Du Zhenwei was a master of the sword dao. However, what puzzled Chu Jun the most was that an expert in the Sword Dao was supposed to be engrossed in the Sword Dao, so how could he have so many children? If he was cultivating the "sword" under his crotch, it would be different.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Yu secretly tugged at the stunned man and asked softly.

Chu Jun shook his head and waved away the absurd thoughts in his mind. He grinned and sent a voice transmission, "Since Du Zhenwei personally wrote the plaque for Du Wu, it can be seen that he really dotes on this daughter."

Zhao Yu helplessly rolled his eyes at Chu Jun. Only this bold villain dared to call Chongming Prefecture Lord in Mingyang City .

Chu Jun and Zhao Yu walked into the Heavenly Policy Hall and discovered that there were already seven or eight people sitting in the hall. Wei An was amazingly among them. Everyone in the hall looked at the two of them in unison. When they saw Zhao Yu's appearance, their eyes lit up as expected. After all, a beauty of this level was rare in this world.

Wei An stood up and laughed, "You're here!"

Chu Jun and Zhao Yu sat down in the hall, and Wei An enthusiastically acted as the introducer.

It turned out that the eight people in the hall were all participants in the third round of the competition. They were Du Wu's group. There were a total of 30 participants who could enter the third round. It was good that Du Wu's group had ten spots. It was just that it was unknown how many people could enter the top twelve.

"Hehe, you actually have a beauty of a certain quality as your partner. It seems that you've come the right time. Hi, hello!" A slippery voice rang out in discord.
