Now it seems that the only way to get to the mysterious stone palace is to find a way. However, according to what this young man said, if you want to enter the stone palace, you must have a token, and this token is passed down from generation to generation by the city lord's palace. Only contemporary Only the city lord has it.
Only the contemporary city lord has it. In other words, if you want to enter this mysterious stone palace, you can only go and meet the city lord for a while.
Lying in a pool of blood, the young man's breath was extremely weak, and he had finished asking questions. Xiao Chen looked at him and said lightly, "I'll give you a ride, so that you don't suffer anymore."
As he spoke, Xiao Chen stabbed the scissors directly into the young man's chest.
Killing the young man without hesitation, Xiao Chen sat on the chair again. Tianyue on the side was not dissatisfied at all with Xiao Chen's actions. Although she was inexperienced in world affairs, she was not a soft-hearted person. Previously, she only It was just that he panicked because of his sudden loss of cultivation.
Killing people is already a common thing for Xiao Chen and Tian Yue, so even if they have no cultivation level, killing such a large number of people will have no impact on them at all.
Seeing that Xiao Chen was deep in thought, Tian Yue whispered, "What do you think the ancestor of the Emperor wanted to test when he established this ninth heaven? What is the purpose?"
He already knew that the answer lay in the mysterious stone palace, but Tianyue didn't understand what the emperor's purpose was in establishing this ninth heaven.
After hearing Tianyue's words, Xiao Chen said softly, "I seem to understand a little bit."
"Do you understand? Then tell me quickly." Hearing this, Tianyue asked eagerly.
"It's very simple. The emperor established this ninth heaven just to tell future generations that a warrior is strong not just because of his cultivation. Even if he loses his cultivation one day, a warrior should still be strong. His cultivation is what makes a warrior strong. It is a manifestation of strength, but it is not the foundation of a warrior's strength. As long as you have the will, you can eventually recover even if your cultivation is completely lost."
"This is why the Emperor established the Jiutian City, banned everyone's cultivation, and arranged a city lord's palace. Think about it, suddenly there is no cultivation, and he has to face the pursuit of the city lord's palace. If someone is not strong, what will happen to him?"
"It's here." After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Tianyue said in a deep voice.
Understood, under Xiao Chen's explanation, Tianyue understood, yes, it's just like him, when he first arrived in Jiutian City, he suddenly lost his cultivation. Tianyue was really panicked at that time, and then he didn't panic at all. He was caught in the city lord's mansion without any resistance. Just imagine, if Xiao Chen is still here, what will be his fate if there is no Xiao Chen this time? He will definitely be trapped and die in this Jiutian City.
Some were still apprehensive, some were afraid, and some were even more grateful that Xiao Chen was by his side this time.
He unconsciously glanced at Xiao Chen. At the same time, after Shen Yuan said something, Xiao Chen stood up and said decisively, "Let's do it tonight, so as not to have a long night and have too many dreams."
"Are we going to do it tonight? Why?" Hearing this, Tianyue asked in confusion.
This was naturally a move against the city. Now Xiao Chen had rescued Tianyue. Originally, according to Xiao Chen's plan, he only had to rescue Tianyue tonight, which would be considered a success, but now, Xiao Chen changed his mind.
The young man has been killed by himself, and the City Lord will definitely find out tomorrow at the latest. As a result, the guard strength of the City Lord's Mansion will inevitably increase greatly, and it will be difficult to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion again.
Therefore, Xiao Chen planned to take advantage of the situation tonight to take action in the city lord's mansion, find the token to enter the mysterious stone palace, and break through the last level of the sky in one fell swoop.
After telling Tianyue his plan, Tianyue had no objection. Afterwards, the two of them packed up and walked towards the room where the city lord lived.
Along the way, it was inevitable to encounter patrolling guards. No, as soon as they walked out of the young man's courtyard, Xiao Chen and Tian Yue were stopped.
"Hey, isn't this the newcomer? Where are you taking him?" The leading guard glanced at Tianyue suspiciously, then looked at Xiao Chen and asked coldly.
He had already thought of his words, and when faced with the guard's inquiry, Xiao Chen respectfully said in his heart, "The Lord of the City is going to put this new guy and this little guy on orders to do something."
After hearing Xiao Chen's words, the guard's expression softened a little. Since it was the city lord who wanted to see him, there was no problem.
Moreover, what Xiao Chen said was perfect. After all, if Xiao Chen came to save Tianyue, there was no reason to go straight to the Lord of the City. Wouldn't that be throwing himself into a trap? So, after confirming that Xiao Chen's second The group of guards didn't think much about the fact that they were actually going to the Lord's residence. However, the leader had an extra thought and ordered two of his subordinates to accompany Xiao Chen to the residence of the Lord.
He thought he was smart, but he didn't know that after hearing what he said, Xiao Chen felt so happy. He was about to go to the city lord's residence, but now he was accompanied by two guards, so he would be very safe along the way, even if he met him again. Don't worry if you pick up other guards.
The leader readily agreed. Upon seeing this, the leader's doubts were reduced a lot, and he immediately left with his people.
Accompanied by two guards, they arrived at the city lord's residence without incident. Outside the courtyard gate, the two guards did not go in. Xiao Chen took Tian Yue and entered the courtyard in a swaggering manner.
It was already late at night, but the lights were still on in the study. Obviously, the city lord was not asleep yet, and there were two guards guarding the door.
While walking towards the study, Xiao Chen whispered to Tianyue, "One person at a time, quickly deal with these two people."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Tianyue nodded, and soon, the two of them arrived outside the study. Watching the two approaching, one of the guards stopped them and asked.
"Stop, what do you want?"
"My lord, my lord, I..." Hearing this, Xiao Chen bent down to salute, but before he could finish his words, he saw a flash of cold light, and then, a dagger pierced directly into the heart of the guard. , At the same time, on the other side, Tianyue also succeeded in a sneak attack and killed another guard.
The two guards outside the door were easily killed. Xiao Chen pushed open the door and strode in.
In the room, the city lord was looking at the materials in his hand, but then the door was suddenly opened. He looked up and saw a strange young man walking in. The city lord's eyes were full of doubts, but when he looked at Xiao Chen, He said with a smile on his face.
"Lord City Lord, it's really hard to find you here. There are twists and turns along the way, just like a maze. But I finally see you. There are some things I think we can talk about in person."
