Just like that, Ye Wuchen took Gu Qingxi's hand and walked out slowly.
Wherever they went, the guards and maids all had fear on their faces and quickly retreated to the side to make way for a passage.
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 were walking side by side on the street. Ye Wuchen asked at this time: "Qing Xi, are you here to see me?"
"Yes, it was Emperor Donghua who told me that you were missing in that unowned sea area. So I came to find you right away." Gu Qingxi nodded lightly.
Although Ye Wuchen had already guessed that Gu Qingxi appeared here because he was worried about him coming to find him, but hearing Gu Qingxi say it in person, the feeling was different.
At this moment, Ye Wuchen only felt happy in his heart.
"I came with Xiatian, Liao Kong, and Murong Yi, the eldest disciple of the Jindan Sect leader. After entering the sea area, I met Huo Xiaodao, the youngest son of the domain leader Huo Ran.
After that, we walked together to this unowned sea, and later noticed strange spiritual energy fluctuations.
We thought it was a secret realm appearing or a treasure appearing.
But that's not the case. Instead, the exit of this secret realm suddenly opened, sucking us all in.
After that, Xiatian and the others got separated.
Huo Xiaodao was with me. I first placed him in the west side of the city, with two of his guards watching. "
Gu Qingxi roughly told how she came here.
"With Feng Xiatian calming Kong's mind, it should be fine. Don't worry about them." Ye Wuchen comforted, "As for you still have a partner, do you need to find her first?"
"No need. With Murong Yi's temperament and strength, what I should worry about is not her, but the person she faces." Gu Qingxi shook her head.
Murong Yi's strength is beyond doubt.
Being able to hold that giant sword proved that Murong Yi's physical training was not inferior to Gu Qingxi's.
Therefore, even if Murong Yi cannot use her spiritual power, she is still a strong person.
There were five of them, and Huo Xiaodao, the only one who worried Gu Qingxi, had been properly settled. Now that he had found Senior Brother Ye, Gu Qingxi had nothing to worry about at the moment.
"That's good." Ye Wuchen looked at the lightness between Gu Qingxi's brows and smiled slightly, "Then let's go."
The two of them walked out of the city on foot.
Along the way, Gu Qingxi saw how the people in the city treated the foreign sea people.
What Zhao Yiyi said before was right, the people here are divided into three, six or nine grades.
Those from outside are treated at the lowest level.
From time to time, you can see the Sea Clan being scolded or even beaten.
The faces of some sea tribesmen were already full of numbness, and some still had resentment in their eyes.
It should be due to the difference in time since they came here. Some of those who have lived here for a long time have been reduced to walking zombies, while those of the sea tribe 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. Slavery and expropriation of outsiders were taken for granted.
There were no guards guarding the city gate. Ye Wuchen explained: "The people in the city will not leave the city because they all obey the city lord's words. It is very dangerous outside the city and they will never come back after they go out."
"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 seize the body, so he pays great attention to the development of the city's population. The more people there are, the more opportunities there are to choose a suitable body.
Moreover, she controlled the entrance to the secret realm from time to time, bringing in some sea people to be enslaved by the residents of the city. In a word, she raised these residents well. "
Gu Qingxi thought for a moment and said: "The city lord selects a groom every year, but there is no news afterwards. Wouldn't the servants in the house know about it? Will the news get out? I guess the residents know, but Because their lives have been comfortable for a long time, they don’t want to lose this comfort, so they don’t want to point it out.”
"Not bad." Ye Wuchen raised his head and looked forward, "I previously detected weak spiritual energy fluctuations outside the city, and then found the core of the secret realm. I suspect that this city is only a small part of the secret realm, and other places They’re all sealed.”
Gu Qingxi also looked ahead. Outside the city, there were green mountains and green waters, and the scenery was pleasant.
Going further, Gu Qingxi saw many dragonflies flying low in the sky in front of her.
These dragonflies were all red and short and fat. They flew in front of Gu Qingxi. She thought they were fat insects at first.
When I looked closely, I discovered that it was actually a kind of dragonfly. Not to mention, this short and fat red dragonfly is quite cute.
A dragonfly flew directly to Gu Qingxi's head and stopped on her hair. The red wings flapped slightly, 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 her heart, she was thinking of carving a dragonfly-style hairpin for Gu Qingxi.
There is indeed a pavilion ten miles outside the city, and opposite the pavilion is a huge waterfall.
The waterfall fell from a high place, and the coolness hit your face.
Under the waterfall is a huge lake with green water like a huge gem.
At a glance, you can tell that the water in this lake is very deep.
Ye Wuchen stood at the edge of the pavilion and motioned for Gu Qingxi to come over.
After Gu Qingxi came over, Ye Wuchen suddenly reached out and took 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 transparent barrier!
Gu Qingxi's face became serious. She broke away from Ye Wuchen's hand and began to explore the barrier.
This layer of barrier seems to be bounded by the pavilion, cutting off the mountains and city outside.
Senior Brother Ye's inference is probably true. The city may be only a small part of this secret realm.
So was this barrier set up by the city lord, or did it originally exist?
Just as Gu Qingxi was thinking, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves in the distance.
Gu Qingxi followed the sound and saw a woman wearing a beautiful red dress approaching quickly on a horse with a group of guards.
Is this woman in red the city lord?
