Zi Bei's conversation with Yan Ling, although she didn't completely understand her true nature, at least it was enough to confirm that they had a close relationship with the Star Master.
When dealing with people in business or cooperation, "momentum" is a very important thing.
If Ziqi Bei discusses cooperation with Xingchen but can't even see the face of the host, his situation is already at a disadvantage.
But with these three elf girls in hand, he didn't believe that the mysterious Star Master wouldn't show up.
Zi Bei walked out of his tent and gave an order. The Black Armor Army began to break camp and head towards West Ling City.

Golden Leaf Imperial City, just had this year's first snowfall, the entire majestic city was wrapped in silver, adding a few more enchanting touches.
The snow in the imperial capital is not as fierce as that in the northwest, a night of wind and snow can block the door, nor is it as cold, a runny nose can freeze into an icicle as soon as it comes out of the nostrils.
The snow in the imperial capital is poetic and beautiful, everywhere people are playing in the snow, not just children, even young ladies and gentlemen from noble families have come out to play by the riverbank, outside the mountain village, a pot of hot wine is burning on the charcoal fire, several people sit around, appreciating the snow while chatting, having a unique pleasure.
At this time, the imperial palace was sleeping in the Moon Palace. Princess Mingyue leaned against the window of the pavilion, looking at the lively palace maidens in the garden, her beautiful eyes filled with a faint sadness.
That year, with such a beautiful snowy scene, her mother closed her eyes forever.
"Remember, Mingyue, men are all bees. They collect nectar when the flowers bloom and avoid them when they wither. Don't think about relying on a man; no man is reliable. Only by becoming a superior person can you grasp your own destiny." That woman who had bloomed her entire life for that one man never even got to see him until she closed her eyes in death.
The moon princess's slender jade hand exerted a slight force, and the window frame was instantly covered with a layer of frost, which then turned into powder and drifted down.
"Mother, Mingyue will definitely make herself a superior person and won't rely on men." Princess Mingyue whispered to herself, her gaze piercing through the mundane world, reaching its essence.
Just then, a clear and melodious crane's cry came from afar.
A majestic white crane descended upon the Sleeping Moon Palace, its eyes gleaming with a hint of blue. On its back sat an ethereal beauty, her slender figure draped in a thin, sky-blue cloak that seemed almost transparent against the snowy backdrop. Her gaze was so captivating that it made one feel ashamed to look directly at her.
"Master." Princess Mingyue flew down and paid her respects.
"Next month, Master will take you to Tongtian Mountain." Katie said gently. She appreciated Mingyue's talent and temperament very much, and planned to cultivate her as her own successor.
"Yes, Master." The young unicorn that Mingyue Princess had called over to play with climbed onto the back of the white crane without hesitation.
The white crane's massive wings unfolded, and the thick wind magic energy transformed into two air swirls, carrying its enormous body soaring into the sky, disappearing at the horizon in the blink of an eye.
At this time, Khanmos' figure finally rushed over, shaking his head and revealing a wry smile. This Katie is indeed something, wanting to take away his own daughter without even saying goodbye to Mingyue.
Katie's White Crane was no ordinary crane, it had a name called Fengling Crane, an eighth-level demon beast. A mature Fengling Crane possessed the strength of a top-grade warrior and its intelligence was extremely high, so powerful that it was astonishing.
Generally speaking, magical beasts of eighth rank and above cannot be bound by a magical contract, not even if they are young beasts. The only way to make such powerful magical beasts acknowledge a master is for them to do so voluntarily.
Even among the Five Great Sacred Grounds, those with eighth-grade magical beasts are extremely rare. It can be imagined that Kitty's status in Tongtian Mountain should be very high.
"Master, what about Brother Feng Tian..." Princess Ming Yue said, she had to tell Kati about Feng Tian's situation.
"You don't need to say anything, Master already knows. Tian Tian's poem is decent, but his temperament still needs to be tempered. This incident might be a good thing for him." Kati said calmly. Before Mingyue, she had taken in three apprentices, but they were just ordinary disciples. Only Princess Mingyue was considered her true closed-door disciple.
Katie finished speaking, thought for a moment and said: "Mingyue, this time you are engaged to the fifth young master of the Nuo De family, Master doesn't object, but once you enter Tongtian Mountain, you and he will be people from two completely different worlds. Your relationship with him is only that, do you understand?"
"I understand, Master." Princess Mingyue nodded.
"That's good, that little guy may have surprised me a bit, but he still doesn't match up to you. Even if he did, before you reach the heavenly realm, men and women must not be involved." Kati said cautiously to Princess Mingyue.
"I understand." Princess Mingyue nodded, her eyes calm and serene. She had always planned to focus on her cultivation and would not get entangled in romantic affairs.

Xī Líng City, originally built as a garrison city when the Golden Leaf Empire sent troops to the Beastman Empire, is large enough to hold half of the imperial capital, capable of accommodating one million people. In order to defend against the powerful beastman tribes' attacks, Xī Líng City has high walls and thick fortifications, with eight magical towers on all four sides, known as the Magical Fortress.
The magic fortress is built with special materials, which can not only withstand powerful physical attacks but also resist magical attacks. The magicians concentrate in the magic fortress and focus on casting spells to attack their enemies.
Nowadays, Xiling City has become the most chaotic city in the surrounding area, but its defensive settings are still preserved.
In the city, there are city guards formed by people from various major forces, called "army", but in fact, it is a insult to the name of the army. The city guard of Xiling City belongs to various major forces, not only is the command chaotic and scattered, but also the city guards between different forces often fight each other. Moreover, they are actually more ruffian than thugs, more bandit-like than bandits.
They don't care about smashing, looting and robbing.
They commit murder and arson, but no one is in charge.
But a strange merchant caravan or an adventurer who is not strong enough, if they fall into their hands, they will not let you go without peeling off a layer of skin.
At this time, Qi Bei stood in the distance, gazing out at the city. This was his fiefdom, but he would have to rely on his own strength to reclaim it.
"Change clothes." Qi Bei gave an order.
In an instant, more than 200 Black Armor soldiers quickly changed out of their standard armor and weapons, switching to mercenary attire.
And Lingyin also took the disguise clothes that Qi Bei had stripped from the Gothic princess to change into, as for the mysterious fake belly, it was removed by Qi Bei and replaced with a soft cloth imitation.
Duanyan sat in front of Qi Bei and helped him disguise himself.
No wonder, Duan Yan is indeed a talented person, not only does he understand the ways of the three teachings and nine streams, but he also knows how to disguise himself.
Before long, Qi Bei's appearance became almost identical to that of the deceased Gothic youth, Mitis. His ears were also fitted with pointed and elongated fake ears. Although the Gothic people's ears are also pointed and long like those of the elves, they are dull and lackluster compared to the elves' nearly transparent ears adorned with beautiful elven patterns.
Zhi Bei looked in the mirror and was quite satisfied with himself.
"Into the city." Ziqi pointed to Xiling City with his big hand, and together with Huan Ying who had finished dressing up, they transformed into that Gothic couple and got on the horse carriage. At first glance, it was really hard to tell them apart from that Gothic merchant group, except for the intense killing aura emanating from these mercenary guards.
