Having used several Heaven-Rank martial arts techniques and traveled for a day and a night, Zhang Yun still suffered considerable depletion, even with the combined spiritual power of thousands of people.
This is also one of Zhang Yun's greatest advantages.
If it were any other cultivator at the Heavenly Origin Realm, their spiritual energy and physical strength would be insufficient to support even a single Heavenly Rank martial art.
As the capital of the Qin Empire, the Imperial City was bound to be a gathering place for the nation's top experts.
From Zhang Yun's perception, quite a few experts at the Heavenly Gang Realm have already appeared.
Even now, on the crisscrossing, bustling streets, one can occasionally see powerful individuals with considerable aura.
Therefore, he must be in peak condition to rescue Ye Qianzhi while ensuring her safety to the greatest extent possible.
She was the person Zhang Hao specifically requested, so Du Hai and the others probably wouldn't dare to do anything to Ye Qianzhi before returning to the Holy Gate, and they would have to be polite to her on the surface.
This bought Zhang Yun a lot of time.
Zhang Yun randomly chose an inn that was close to the palace and immediately locked himself in his room, refusing to come out.
While recovering his spiritual power, Zhang Yun did not slack off for a moment and continued making Tang Clan hidden weapons.
However, not long after Zhang Yun closed his eyes and his consciousness entered the Tang Sect world, there was a series of knocks on the door, causing Zhang Yun's brows to furrow slightly.
Prior to this, he had specifically instructed the restaurant that no one was allowed to disturb his rest except for food delivery.
However, this is clearly not the time to deliver food.
Could it be that the people of the Holy Gate are so powerful that they could sense his location while he himself was completely unaware?
With a mix of doubt and wariness, Zhang Yun slowly opened the door, then paused slightly in surprise.
The person knocking on the door was a young man with harmonious features, handsome appearance, and an extraordinary temperament.
Upon seeing Zhang Yun, the handsome young man smiled, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Brother, please forgive my intrusion."
"What is it?" Zhang Yun narrowed his eyes slightly. He was certain that he had never seen this young man before, and the two were complete strangers.
"My name is Hua Mubai. I was immediately attracted by your outstanding temperament, your handsome appearance and dignified bearing. You must be a dragon among men. I wonder if I could get to know you?"
Hua Mubai laughed heartily, showing great enthusiasm, which made Zhang Yun frown slightly before closing the door.
"I'm busy, don't bother me unless it's important."
"As the saying goes, having more friends means having more options. I am a disciple of the Hua family, one of the five great families in the capital. Why don't you reconsider, brother?"
Zhang Yun's indifferent attitude forced Wang Mubai to reveal his identity.
As a young master from one of the five great families of the imperial city, countless cultivators would go to great lengths to obtain the opportunity to befriend him.
Now that he has taken the initiative to befriend the boy in white, he should feel extremely honored.
Therefore, Hua Mubai remained calm, because upon hearing his name, the white-robed youth would have to be overjoyed and come out to greet him!

Chapter 164 Mysterious Ancient Tomb
Hua Mubai was slapped in the face by reality.
A full cup of tea's time passed, and there was still no sound from the room.
However, he became even more certain of his previous guess.
A strange smile slowly appeared on his lips as he said slowly, "I wonder if you know Ye Qianzhi?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than he heard the sound of the door being kicked open.
A figure burst out of the room like lightning.
His collar was instantly grabbed, and he was easily lifted up.
In the blink of an eye, he had no time to react.
Even though he was mentally prepared, Hua Mubai was still taken aback.
Rumor has it that Zhang Yun's cultivation level is only at the early stage of the Heavenly Origin Realm, and his cultivation level seems to be lower than his own, but his true strength is frighteningly strong.
He thought he had prepared for any eventuality, but Zhang Yun still captured him with ease.
"Speak, who are you?" Zhang Yun said coldly, staring indifferently at Hua Mubai.
Hua Mubai was somewhat embarrassed and said with a wry smile, "Big brother, can we talk this out properly? I swear, I have no ill intentions towards you."
With the support of thousands of people, Zhang Yun is extremely sensitive to hostility and murderous intent.
What he was certain of was that the young man in front of him, named Hua Mubai, was indeed not hostile.
"Come in and talk." Zhang Yun didn't stand on ceremony and threw Hua Mubai into the room.
"Ah... Big brother, can you please not be so rude?" Hua Mubai cried out in annoyance.
What did he do to deserve this?
“Answer my question,” Zhang Yun said, his eyes narrowing slightly as he stared at Hua Mubai, this stranger. “You seem to know my true identity?”
Although Wang Mubai did not perform well, it does not mean that Zhang Yun would trust him so easily.
"I know, I know, I've seen your portrait."
Faced with Zhang Yun, who was more assertive than he had imagined, Hua Mubai had no choice but to tell the truth.
