Outside the royal city of State of Jin, the sunlight shines on the ancient city walls, and the mottled stone bricks are engraved with the traces of time.
Outside the city gate, the crowd is bustling, and the voices of various vendors transporting goods and passing pedestrians intertwine, creating a lively and extraordinary market scene.
At the city gate, Zhou Mo and Zhu Yun stood out in the crowd of adults. Despite Zhou Mo's not-so-tall stature, he stood tall and exuded a determined and unyielding gaze, drawing people's attention. Zhu Yun transformed into a delicate girl, her emerald dress swaying gently in the wind, and her lively and clever appearance also attracted frequent glances from the surrounding crowd.
In front of the two people stood a tall, stern-looking guard. His gaze was as sharp as an eagle's, scrutinizing the two children in front of him, as if trying to find a flaw in them.
"Where are your passes? Show them to me," the guard's voice was deep and powerful, leaving no room for doubt.
Zhou Mo His heart tightened, he and Zhu Yun did not have a guide, which was not allowed to enter the imperial city.
Immediately, as if he remembered something, he quickly searched his body.
His hand rummaged in the side pocket, and finally, his fingers touched a cold and smooth object - it was a metal token with the Zhou family emblem engraved on it.
"The jade pendant that the elder of the Zhou family gave to grandpa before, I remember it was here."
Zhou Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This jade pendant from the Zhou family elders should be enough to prove his identity.
At that moment, Zhu Yun lightly tapped his shoulder and whispered, "Hey, that person is coming over. What are you still looking for? Did you bring the guide?"
Zhou Mo was slightly stunned, then responded in a low voice, "I don't have a guide, the guide is with my grandfather, but I have the token given to me by the senior of the Zhou family."
As he spoke, the guard had already walked up to them, the long spear in his hand gleaming in the sunlight. Zhou Mo took a deep breath and took out the token from his pocket, holding it up high.
"Here, Brother Guard, I'm sorry, I don't have a pass to enter the Imperial City, but can you take a look at this token?" Zhou Mo's voice was young, but there was a firmness in his expression.
The guard took the token and examined it carefully.
This token is engraved with a large "Zhou" character, underneath which is the unique family emblem of the the Zhou - the Wolf Moon totem.
This is the exclusive symbol of identity for the direct line of the Zhou family.
"You are a direct descendant of the Zhou family." The guard's voice carried a hint of excitement, but then became puzzled. "Why have I never seen you in the imperial city?"
Zhou Mo replied slowly, "I am not from this the Jin Imperial City, but grew up as a commoner near the border. Thanks to the kindness of the elders of the Zhou family, I have now entered the imperial city to acknowledge my ancestry."
The guard, after hearing Zhou Mo's words and looking at the Zhu Yun behind him, was filled with vigilance and caution in her eyes. The token in their hands was undoubtedly real, but their identities were indeed suspicious, which made the guard fall into contemplation for a moment.
At that moment, another guard walked over and whispered to him, "I heard that the Zhou family has been making a big fuss outside the city from yesterday until today, as if they are looking for the peerless master who caused the strange phenomenon yesterday. Let's wait and ask those Zhou family members who are about to return to the city."
"Alright." The guard nodded, then said to Zhou Mo and the Zhu Yun, "Official business cannot be violated, and without a guide, you cannot enter the city. Whether this Zhou family token was given to you by the Zhou family elders, or wait for the Zhou family descendants to return to the city to testify for you."
Zhou Mo and Zhu Yun exchanged a glance, nodded slightly, indicating their understanding. They knew that the most important thing now was to avoid unnecessary trouble.
However, things didn't go as planned, and what they didn't want to happen would happen.
While they were waiting for the return of the Zhou family descendants, whispers began to spread among the surrounding crowd. Some people curiously scrutinized them, while others speculated about their identities.
"Hey, where do you think these two kids came from? And why do they have the elder of the Zhou family's token in their hands?"
"I don't know. I've been in the Imperial City for so long and I haven't heard of the Zhou family having two more legitimate heirs."
"Do you think these two children might be illegitimate children of the Zhou family? Otherwise, the token of the Zhou family elders wouldn't have fallen into the hands of outsiders."
The discussions made Zhou Mo and Zhu Yun both feel a little uneasy.
They were just one step away from entering the gate of the city to Zhou's house. They couldn't afford to arouse suspicion and dissatisfaction at this time.
At this moment, a message came from the Zhou family within the imperial city, saying that there were two children outside the imperial city holding the Zhou family token.
At the same time, this message quickly reached the ears of Zhou Jingyan inside the imperial city.
Zhou Jingyan is a young talent who has risen in the Zhou family in recent years. His father was once an elder of the Zhou family, but he fell in the border area several years ago and his body was never found.
Upon hearing this news, Zhou Jingyan was filled with anger. He possessed the tokens of the clan elders, but only his father's token was missing. The two people who came from the border area, where his father fell, are so close, it is feared that they are also related to his father's death.
After pondering for a while, Zhou Jingyan threw the sword he was practicing with on the ground and hurriedly rushed to the city gate. Just as he arrived at the city gate, he heard the discussions of the surrounding crowd, which further fueled his anger.
Finally, he could no longer bear it, flew out from the city gate, mobilized the spiritual power in his hand, and threw a spiritual light towards the direction of Zhou Mo and the Zhu Yun.
The surrounding spiritual energy suddenly fluctuated. The Zhu Yun reacted very quickly, pulling Zhou Mo back to avoid the attack.
A cloud of dust rose up, and Zhou Mo looked at the ground beneath his feet, which had already cracked open, even the scattered stones on the ground were shaken loose.
It's clear that the person who did this was ruthless.
Zhou Mo was out of breath and looked up to see a young boy, dressed in luxurious robes, standing not far away, glaring at them with anger.
"Who are you? I have no grudge against you, why do you want to harm me like this?"
The boy gritted his teeth and said, "No grievances? You are holding my father's token. You say there are no grievances, but my father fell at the border several years ago. The Zhou family token on your body is resonating today. I went out of the city to see, and I saw you holding my father's token. Dare you say that my father's death has nothing to do with you?"
It turned out to be someone from the Zhou family. Zhou Mo's heart eased a bit, and he immediately wanted to explain, "No, that's not..."
He was about to speak, but then he heard Zhou Jingyan roar, "Go to hell! I will never believe you liars again."
Immediately after, Zhou Jingyan unleashed the Zhou family's secret technique - Sunset Slash.
A golden giant blade of light descended from the sky with unparalleled power, slashing directly towards Zhou Mo and Zhu Yun, creating a huge wave of wind and waves. It forced the onlookers to step back repeatedly.
The people around were retreating in fear, watching the astonishing scene.
Some recognized it as the Sunset Strike of the Zhou family, and couldn't help but marvel at how young Zhou Jingyan had already mastered such a powerful technique.
