Ye Xingchen was wandering around the city and discovered a street that was crowded with people and bustling with activity. He didn't know what it was for.
"Is this street the route of the teleportation array?"
Ye Xingchen secretly guessed.
He walked to that route, ready to make some inquiries.
The old men just now also said that they wanted to inform the city lord to see if he knew Ye Xingchen's identity, so they left in a hurry.
As soon as Ye Xingchen stepped into this street, he felt a tyrannical aura rushing towards him, making him unable to breathe due to the pressure.
He looked up and saw a group of cultivators walking towards him.
The leader was an old man.
This old man was eight feet tall, with bulging muscles and a majestic face. He wore a golden armor and looked quite powerful.
Behind this old man, there were some old men, all of them tall.
They are all practitioners in the Nascent Soul stage, and their aura is extremely powerful.
"Is this the city lord? So powerful!"
Ye Xingchen was secretly surprised.
"Brother, please wait a moment. My city lord has ordered you to wait in the hall. Please don't barge in!"
An old man blocked Ye Xingchen's path and said coldly.
Ye Xingchen nodded when he heard this and said: "Since the city lord has a destiny, it is better for me to be respectful than obey my destiny."
The old man snorted coldly and led the other old men towards a main hall.
"This city lord looks so domineering!"
Ye Xingchen murmured to himself, and then followed the old men into the hall.
The interior of the hall is divided into two floors. The first floor is a place for trading, with countless shelves inside.
There are various items displayed on the shelves. These items are all ordinary goods, but they are all valuable.
On the second floor, there are elixirs and talismans, as well as various precious materials and minerals, and even artifacts.
"What a rich man!"
Ye Xingchen secretly praised.
Generally, cultivators outside need to pay if they want to purchase some materials. Even if you have the support of a big force, you still have to pay.
And the city lord actually purchased these materials directly without spending any money.
He is truly worthy of being a city lord, and he is indeed a generous person.
"Huh!"
At this moment, Ye Xingchen's sharp eyes suddenly noticed a jade plaque and was stunned.
"What is this?"
Ye Xingchen stared at the jade plaque carefully.
The jade tablets are carved with complicated textures and some mysterious patterns.
He didn't recognize any of these patterns, so he couldn't help but be a little curious, so he couldn't help but pick them up and observe them.
The quality of this jade tablet was also good. Ye Xingchen held it and observed it carefully.
After watching it for a long time, Ye Xingchen didn't know what it was. In the end, he didn't study it, but put it aside.
He continued towards the stairs.
"stop!"
However, as soon as he stepped onto the steps, he was stopped by a cold shout.
"What's up?"
Ye Xingchen looked back and saw some cultivators behind him. These cultivators were wearing green shirts. They all looked like they were in their mid-twenties, and their strength was not low, with three or four yuan. In the infant stage, there was also a practitioner in the early stage of Nascent Soul.
"Brother, this is not a place you can come to at will. Please leave immediately."
One of the early Nascent Soul practitioners said coldly.
Ye Xingchen frowned. He didn't recognize this early Yuanying cultivator. He obviously didn't belong to this city.
"Who are you? I am a guest invited by the city lord, why do you drive me away?" Ye Xingchen sneered.
Hearing that Ye Xingchen was a guest invited by the city lord, the expression of this early Yuanying practitioner changed.
He quickly said: "Sorry, I didn't know that the city lord's friend was here. I will take you to the hall right now."
"You know the truth!"
Ye Xingchen snorted and followed this early Yuanying practitioner towards a pavilion.
The early Yuanying cultivator led Ye Xingchen toward the pavilion, and a group of early Yuanying cultivators behind him followed.
Ye Xingchen shook his head secretly.
This city lord looks very young, and he is actually protected by so many early Yuanying practitioners. He obviously has some background.
This city lord is certainly not simple, and he might have some hidden power.
"My name is Wang Zhong, and I am the steward of the City Lord's Mansion. What is your name?"
"My name is Ye Xingchen. I came here from outside. I met a few old men on the way. They were not willing to help me, so they asked me to wait here. I hope the city lord can help me." Ye Xingchen said lightly.
When Wang Zhong heard this, he was secretly shocked.
It seems that Ye Xingchen’s background is not simple!
However, he didn't show any signs of strangeness. He smiled and said, "Brother Ye, please come this way!"
"Um!"
Ye Xingchen nodded and followed Wang Zhong.
Wang Zhong led Ye Xingchen to the gate of the city lord's palace. He said to the guard at the door: "The city lord has guests coming, please let me know!"
"yes!"
The guard at the door immediately ran towards the depths of the palace.
After a while, a middle-aged man in green robes came running quickly. He saw Wang Zhong and Ye Xingchen at a glance, his face changed slightly, and he immediately raised his hands to Wang Zhong and said, "See you, sir!"
"No gift!"
Wang Zhong waved his hand and introduced to the middle-aged man in green robe: "This is Ye Xiaoyou."
Ye Xingchen nodded.
The middle-aged man in green robe looked at Ye Xingchen carefully, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Not only because of Ye Xingchen's appearance, but also because he couldn't see through Ye Xingchen's realm.
This made him fearful. After all, it was definitely not simple for the other party to possess such mysterious strength at such a young age.
"It turns out to be Brother Ye! Nice to meet you."
The middle-aged man in green robes said with a smile: "Welcome Brother Ye to the city lord's palace. The city lord has already ordered that as soon as brother Ye arrives, he will take brother Ye directly to the hall. Brother Ye, please come with me!"
Ye Xingchen nodded and followed the middle-aged man in green robe.
Wang Zhong watched Ye Xingchen go away, and he also turned and left.
Ye Xingchen came to the hall and found that the city lord was already waiting for him.
"Brother Ye, you are finally here, please sit down!"
The city lord stood up in person and greeted Ye Xingchen with enthusiasm.
Ye Xingchen didn't dare to make excuses. He hurriedly walked to the city lord and sat down. He smiled and said, "City lord, you came to see me. Do you have anything important to discuss?"
The city lord smiled slightly and said, "Are you looking for the whereabouts of a girl?"
"How do you know, City Lord?" Ye Xingchen asked in surprise.
He was indeed looking for the whereabouts of that girl. After all, it was because of Bai Yanran that he came to this place inexplicably.
As long as he finds Bai Yanran's whereabouts, he should be able to find his way back.
After all, there are still so many things that need to be dealt with by oneself, and one cannot stay in this strange place for too long.
