Just like that, Ye Wuchen took Gu Qingxi's hand and walked out slowly.
Wherever they went, the guards and maids were all frightened and quickly retreated to the side to make way for them.
After Ye Wuchen and Gu Qingxi walked out of the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Wuchen slowly let go of Gu Qingxi's hand.
The two walked side by side on the street, and Ye Wuchen asked at this time: "Qingxi, are you here to find me?"
"Yes, it was Emperor Donghua who told me that you disappeared in that unowned sea. So I came to find you right away." Gu Qingxi nodded gently.
Although Ye Wuchen had already guessed in his heart that Gu Qingxi appeared here because she was worried about him and came to find him, but hearing Gu Qingxi say it herself, the feeling was different.
At this moment, Ye Wuchen only felt happy in his heart.
"I came here with Xia Tian, Liao Kong, and Murong Yi, the eldest disciple of the Jindan Sect. After entering the sea, I met Huo Ran, the youngest son of the Territory Lord, Huo Xiaodao.
After that, we came to this ownerless sea together, and later we sensed strange spiritual fluctuations.
We thought that a secret realm had appeared, or a treasure had come out.
But it was not the case. Instead, the exit of this secret realm suddenly opened, and we were all involved.
After that, Xia Tian and I were separated.
Huo Xiaodao came with me. I first settled him in the west of the city, and his two guards were watching him."
Gu Qingxi roughly recounted her experience of coming here.
"With Feng Xia Tian and Liao Kong's mental faculties, they should be fine. Don't worry about them." Ye Wuchen comforted, "As for you, you still have a partner. Do you need to find her first?"
"No, with Murong Yi's temperament and strength, I should not worry about her, but the person who is against her." Gu Qingxi shook her head.
Murong Yi's strength is beyond doubt.
Being able to lift that giant sword proves that Murong Yi's body forging is not inferior to Gu Qingxi.
Therefore, even if Murong Yi cannot use spiritual power, he is still a strong man.
There are five people in their group. Huo Xiaodao, the only one who worries Gu Qingxi, has now been properly settled. Now that he has found Senior Brother Ye, for Gu Qingxi, she has nothing to worry about at the moment.
"That's good." Ye Wuchen looked at the lightness between Gu Qingxi's eyebrows and smiled slightly, "Then let's go."
The two walked out of the city on foot.
Along the way, Gu Qingxi saw how the people in the city treated the foreign sea tribes.
What Zhao Yiyi said before was right. The people here are divided into three, six, and nine levels.
And those outsiders are the lowest treatment.
From time to time, you can see sea tribes being scolded or even beaten.
Some sea tribes have numb faces, and some have resentment in their eyes.
It should be caused by the different time they have been here. Some people who have lived here for a long time have been worn into zombies, and those who have been here for a short time still have their own emotions.
The mentality of the residents of this city has long been distorted. They have taken it for granted to enslave and deprive outsiders.
There were no guards guarding the city gate. Ye Wuchen explained: "The people in the city will not leave the city because they all believe the city lord's words. It is very dangerous outside the city and they will never come back after leaving."
"The residents of the city seem to respect this city lord." Gu Qingxi said.
Ye Wuchen said coldly, "Yes, because this evil cultivator has been looking for a suitable body to take over, so he pays great attention to the development of the city
's population. The more people there are, the more chances there are to choose a suitable body. And she controls the entrance to the secret realm from time to time, and involves some sea creatures to be enslaved by the residents of the city. In a word, she feeds these residents very well."
Gu Qingxi thought for a while and said, "This city lord selects a groom every year, but there was no news later. Would the servants in the mansion not know? Would the news not be spread? I guess the residents know, but because they have been living a comfortable life for a long time, they don't want to lose this comfort, so they are unwilling to point it out."
"Yes." Ye Wuchen looked up and looked forward, "I detected a weak spiritual fluctuation outside the city before, and then I found the core of the secret realm. I suspect that this city is only a small part of this secret realm, and the rest is sealed up."
Gu Qingxi also looked forward. There were green mountains and clear waters outside the city, and the scenery was pleasant.
Going forward, Gu Qingxi saw many dragonflies flying low in the sky in front.
These dragonflies were all red and short and fat. When they flew past Gu Qingxi, she thought they were fat bugs at first.
But after a closer look, she realized they were actually dragonflies. Not to mention, this short and fat red dragonfly was quite cute.
One dragonfly flew directly to Gu Qingxi's head and landed on her hair. The red wings fluttered gently, and after Ye Wuchen looked over, the dragonfly flapped its wings and flew away.
"What's wrong?" Gu Qingxi turned to look at Ye Wuchen.
"Nothing." Ye Wuchen shook his head gently. But in his heart, he was thinking about carving a dragonfly-shaped hairpin for Gu Qingxi.
There was indeed a pavilion ten miles outside the city, and opposite the pavilion was a huge waterfall.
The waterfall fell from a high place, and the coolness hit her face.
Under the waterfall was a huge lake, and the lake water was green like a huge gem.
You can tell at a glance that the water in this lake is very deep.
Ye Wuchen stood by the pavilion and motioned Gu Qingxi to come over.
After Gu Qingxi came over, Ye Wuchen suddenly reached out and held Gu Qingxi's hand, lifted it up, and touched the void on the right.
Gu Qingxi was startled, and then immediately understood what Ye Wuchen meant.
She touched a layer of transparent barrier!
Gu Qingxi's face became serious. She broke away from Ye Wuchen's hand and began to explore this barrier.
This barrier seemed to be bounded by the pavilion, separating the mountains outside from the city.
Senior Brother Ye's inference might be true. The city may be only a small part of this secret realm.
So was this barrier set by the city lord, or was it originally there?
Just as Gu Qingxi was thinking, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from afar.
Gu Qingxi followed the sound and saw a woman in a gorgeous red dress, riding a horse, and approaching this side quickly with a group of guards.
Is this woman in red the city lord?
