Late at night, Li Mu and his companions finally saw an ancient and majestic city. Above the city were three large characters "Meteoric Immortal City". I don't know if it was because of the mentality of the person who wrote the characters, but these three characters looked a little sad.
Along the way, the two met many local people. Without exception, they looked at them as if they were the plague god and avoided them. After that, the two gave up the plan of going into other villages to inquire about the situation.
Fortunately, both of them had taken fasting pills before coming in, so they didn't feel hungry, which was a kind of consolation.
"Sir, shall we enter the city now?" Wang Jian asked Li Mu while looking at the city in front of him.
Just as Li Mu was about to say something, a group of cavalrymen surrounded the two men, and the leader shouted, "You two, our city lord wants to see you!"
The tone doesn't seem very friendly.
Wang Jian wanted to take action, but Li Mu shook his head at him and said to the soldiers: "Lead the way!"
The soldiers did not expect Li Mu to be so cooperative and were a little surprised. It was said that these outsiders were very arrogant and in the past, the predecessors had to spend a lot of effort to "invite" these outsiders to the city lord.
However, since Li Mu and the other man were so cooperative, they were naturally happy to do so. They then gestured for the two men to get on a carriage and headed towards the city.
These horses existed naturally in this cave and were spiritual beasts in the past. After the cave began to suppress the living creatures inside, they naturally became ordinary horses, just like the monks who entered this cave.
Through a small gap in the car, Li Mu discovered that there were actually not many people living in such a big city. The streets were empty and looked a bit dilapidated.
After passing through most of the city, the group finally arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. After the two got off the car, the soldiers surrounded them. A man in a gorgeous robe came up, looked Li Mu and the other man up and down, then ordered the soldiers to retreat, leaving only a few personal guards.
"I didn't expect that no one has gone out of here in the past few hundred years, but there are still people who dare to come in. I'm very curious. You don't look like down-and-out monks, right? Why do you want to come in and die?" the man in the gorgeous robe joked.
"It seems that those locals don't know the truth and it's you who are behind it." Li Mu said lightly.
"Haha, after all, there are fewer and fewer opportunities here, and I also have to consider my family. Aren't those ignorant villagers better off like they are now? Being a frog in a well, they only have to think about what to eat every day!" The man in the Chinese robe did not hide it.
"You didn't bring us here to tell us this, did you?" Li Mu said calmly.
"Haha, you are lucky. If it were a few decades ago, you outsiders would have been slaughtered by my generation. But now I am the head of the family. The layout of our family for ten generations has reached the final step. As long as you cooperate, I can take you out! Don't even think about the opportunity, but my ancestors are from a well-known big family in the small fairy world, and they will not treat you unfairly when the time comes." The man in the gorgeous robe laughed.
"Are you so kind? Besides, how are you going to take us out?" Wang Jian snorted.
"Or there is another choice, that is death! I know that you cultivators have a long lifespan, and I'm afraid you are more afraid of death than ordinary people?" The man in the gorgeous robe did not answer Wang Jian's question, but made a naked threat. The guards behind him also drew out their swords, ready to chop at Li Mu and the other man at any time.
"Then tell me, how do you want us to cooperate with you?" Li Mu looked calm.
The man in the Chinese robe relaxed his expression slightly and looked at Wang Jian again.
Since Li Mu said so, Wang Jian naturally no longer had any objections, but just nodded reluctantly.
"Haha, you two are smart. Since you have agreed, we are allies. I have prepared some wine in my house. Let's eat and talk at the same time! With the joining of you two, our plan will be accomplished. We will implement the final plan in a few days!" The man in the gorgeous robe laughed.
"Okay." Li Mu said.
Then the man in the gorgeous robe led Li Mu and the other man into the house. There was a large table of delicious food in the luxurious hall. An old man in white was sitting inside, looking at Li Mu and the other man quietly. From his appearance, it could be seen that this man was also from the outside world.
"This is Song Changchuan, the monk who joined us ten years ago!" the man in the gorgeous robe introduced.
"Li Mu, Wang Jian." Li Mu also reported his own names.
"Haha, my name is Lin Hao, the head of the Lin family, and also the lord of Yunxian City." The man in the gorgeous robe also gave his name.
Next, Lin Hao just exchanged pleasantries with Li Mu and the others, without mentioning at all how they needed to cooperate with him. The man named Song Changchuan seemed very easy-going, but Li Mu keenly observed the fear of Lin Hao in his eyes.
Next, Li Mu and the other person were arranged to stay in guest rooms respectively. They were treated as VIP guests of the City Lord's Mansion and were entertained with delicious food and drinks. However, their daily life was monitored by guards and they were not allowed to step out of the City Lord's Mansion. Even inside the City Lord's Mansion, they were only allowed to enter a small area.
During this period, they also communicated with the cultivator named Song Changchuan, but Song Changchuan was completely clueless and had no idea what Lin Hao was trying to do. The reason why he could still stay here was that he had no choice.
Ten years ago, Song Changchuan was still a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core Realm in the Lesser Immortal Realm. At that time, he was desperate, so he spent all his savings and came to this world with his good friend.
He had thought of giving it his last chance, but ended up getting humiliated on the way just like Li Mu and the others. When he arrived at Yunxian City, he was beaten up by the soldiers in the city, and then brought to Lin Hao. Lin Hao asked the same question to the two of them, but his friend was hot-tempered and started fighting after a few words. Seeing his friend fighting, he wanted to join in, too, after all, he was also a cultivator, right? It was fine to be humiliated in the small fairyland, but a group of mortals also spoke rudely to them! As a result, his friend was killed by Lin Hao's guards before he could react.
He was shocked at the time. He saw with his own eyes that Lin Hao's guards could actually use magic! Although it was only a very low-level spell, not even for the foundation-building stage, but you have to know that in thousands of years, no one has ever heard of anyone being able to use magic in this small cave. He immediately gave up all resistance. People have to bow their heads under the eaves! He could only hold on to Lin Hao's promise. If it was true as he said, Lin Hao's family was a well-known big family in the small fairy world. If he really went out, it would be a great opportunity for him. He was much stronger than before.
Moreover, the Lin family is so powerful in this world that even if he could escape from the City Lord's Mansion, where could he escape to? Just as Lin Hao said, cultivators cherish their lives more than ordinary people when it comes to life and death. At least there is hope for him to follow Lin Hao!
