It was still late at night when he first arrived in Huancheng, and Yu Wan had not seen the monks here. Because of the dim light, the faces of the monks who were chasing him along the road were also very blurry.
This caused her to misunderstand when she only saw the orderly buildings in the city, thinking that this place was just like a city or a city in the outside world. It must be a lively and lively scene during the day.
But now, following the alley to the main street, Yu Wan, under the black robe, couldn't help but be shocked when she saw the scene in front of her.
Although it was daytime, the light in the city was still dim. Apart from the white light emitted by the city defense formation, there were only oppressive gray-black mountain rocks above the head, which was really incomparable to the natural sunlight outside.
As for the monks living here, perhaps due to the lack of natural light, everyone's skin looks pale and lifeless.
And this is not the strangest thing. Yu Wan discovered that everyone here has more or less characteristics that are not in line with the local monks. If they were aliens, she still felt weird in her heart.
Continuing to observe the surrounding situation calmly, a sudden noise not far ahead caught Yu Wan's attention.
"Get out of here, why are you pretending to be aloof when you have no money? Ling Yu, do you think you are still the aloof young city lord of White Tiger City?"
A fierce voice finished speaking, and then he spat, "When you come to Huacheng and are driven to this Dongshi, you have to feel like a failure."
"This time, for the sake of your Jade Spirit Pei, I'll let you go. If there's another time, huh, don't blame me for digging out your eyeballs for collection."
Walking in, Yu Wan saw a burly male cultivator with a beard holding a spirit-filled snow-white jade pendant in his right hand and throwing it upwards with a look of disdain. After speaking, he turned around and entered the room, ignoring the His loud curses attracted a crowd of onlookers.
Under the burly male cultivator, a man wearing a shabby light gray robe was lying on the ground, his head lowered, and his long black hair slid down, completely covering his face.
But through the gap in his hair, Yu Wan still saw a pool of blood on the ground, thinking it was vomited after he was beaten.
No matter how insulted the burly male cultivator was, the man in light gray robe said nothing, but the fingertips of his hands on the ground turned white. It seemed that he was still very angry, but the power disparity was so great that he could only endure it. .
The imposing manner of the burly male cultivator had not subsided, and Yu Wan knew that he was cultivating in Jindan without any need to investigate. As for the man in light gray clothes, his breath was slightly weaker after being injured, but he could still confirm that he was in the late stage of foundation building.
After the burly male cultivator left, the crowd of onlookers slowly dispersed. Yu Wan didn't want to expose herself, so she continued walking forward after there were fewer people around.
When she walked up to the man in light gray clothes, the man just staggered up. Yu Wan glanced curiously, and her whole body suddenly fell into the man's blue and gold pupils.
In the next breath, lightning arcs flashed across his pupils, and Yu Wan continued to move forward without stopping. He Yun, who was following her, didn't notice Yu Wan's pause or abnormality at all, and continued to explain while walking.
"The people gathered in the East Market are all people abandoned by the adults in the city. Most of these people have low lives. Fairy will know that these are common things after staying there for a long time."
He Yun didn't know Yu Wan's personality and was worried that she would suddenly take action, so he explained.
As for Ling Yu, who was physically and mentally exhausted, he looked up after standing up and suddenly noticed the sight of the man in black robe passing by him. He thought that the other person would be confused by his own eyes, but he didn't expect that the other person was not affected at all.
It made Ling Yu wonder whether the sight just now was just his illusion. After all, the man in black robe was just looking straight ahead without turning his head.
Feeling severe pain in his chest, Ling Yu didn't want to worry about it and dragged his feet slowly away.
Moving forward, when she saw the city gate sentry not far away, Yu Wan kept walking and walked forward for a while, then turned and walked into a restaurant on the corner of the street.
This restaurant is not big, only on the second floor, but fortunately it has a great view, it is on the corner of the street, and you can see the city gate directly outside the window.
After entering, Yu Wan went straight to the second floor without saying a word. He Yun followed after giving instructions to the waiter.
People in the restaurant were not surprised to see Yu Wan in black robes. It was not surprising that there were many such shady monks in the city.
After looking for a table where the city gate could be seen, Yu Wan and He Yun sat across from each other. Soon, the waiter brought a pot of tea, and the two of them drank tea quietly.
Along the way, He Yun has basically explained the situation in the east city of Rucheng.
The monks in the East City all came from Xingtian Mansion, Nan City, West City and Bei City in the center of the city. It was said that a place was left for them, but everyone here knew that this meant that they were worthless. , has been completely abandoned.
Once you enter Dongshi, you cannot leave without a token. On the contrary, people from the other three areas and Xingtian Mansion can come here at will without any restrictions on their status.
Of course, if they want to go back, they will also need a token to leave through this city gate.
The tea is piping hot. It is bimai tea that is common in the Hantian region. Just drinking one cup can quickly drive away the coldness in the body. It is quite suitable in this place where the sun does not see the sun all year round.
While drinking tea in the evening, his consciousness carefully reached out and observed the situation at the city gate. Although Heng Ha was lying motionless on the stool beside her, he was also paying attention to the movements around him and constantly sending new information to Yu Wan.
"Hey, have you heard? Master Gao from the West Market will come over in two days to find some slaves. Should we give it a try?"
In the tea room, the number of people in the restaurant gradually increased. Not far from them, there was a table of monks discussing. The sound was not loud, but the monks with sharp ears and eyes in the room could hear it.
"Try? Don't really die. It's not like you haven't heard of that monster's reputation..."
"Oh, so what? Is it okay to just stay in Dongshi and live like a zombie? Tell me what we look like now?"
After a long silence, the other person slowly spoke, "He is considered...an alien...Although he has a bad reputation, there is always hope of living. What if he escapes one day?"
"Hey, keep your voice down, do you want them to hear you?"
"What are you afraid of? No one is an alien anymore."
The information conveyed in the conversation at this table stirred up many waves, and the monks on the second floor basically began to discuss the selection of slaves by the young master of the demon clan.
He Yun listened for a long time and couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey, Fairy, what kind of life do you think it is here? The monks who were once aloof and thought highly of themselves are beginning to consider whether to become slaves of the demon tribe."
"Do you want to?" Yu Wan heard back and asked.
He Yun drank another cup of tea, shook his head, and said through the message, "No, I finally escaped, and I don't want to go back there again."
"Oh? Didn't you say you escaped from the Black Prison of Xingtian Mansion?"
After the words fell, He Yun smiled sarcastically and explained, "I was indeed in the West City before, but later I heard from the guards that my fusion effect was very good, so I was transferred to the black prison."
"Forgive me, Fairy, for hiding part of it earlier."
Seeing He Yun like this, Yu Wan was not angry and continued to say, "In that case, let's talk about what happened to you in the West City. Also, you once said that humans, monsters and ghosts live together here, but along the way, , why do you only see people practicing?"
"They...could it be that they all became aliens because of the fusion you mentioned?"
After several questions, He Yun's face became a little stiff. He calmed down for a moment, then took a breath and continued to pick up the teacup, drinking while explaining to Yu Wan.
In the middle of the meal, Yu Wan called the waiter and ordered a few more side dishes because he felt too weird.
The two of them sat there until dusk, one listening to the other, eating vegetables and drinking tea.
I paid close attention to the city gate all day long, and didn't see anyone coming or going in the evening. Just as he was about to call the waiter to pay and leave, there was movement from the city gate.
A handsome young man in brocade robes was stopped at the city gate. He frowned and yelled angrily, but for a long time he didn't see the guard opening the city gate. When he saw a man and a woman following him, they were about to take action. The city gate suddenly opened, and then the golden elixir pressure came and pushed the three people at the city gate to the ground.
"You dare to touch me? Do you know that my surname is Qin!"
Before the handsome young man could say anything, the people outside the city gate blocked their mouths, tied them up and threw them at the back of the team.
Then, with the attention of the people around him, a charming-looking young man wearing a white velvet cloak, leaning on a chariot surrounded by gauze, entered the city surrounded by people in front and behind him.
This group of people went directly to the mansion in the east city center without stopping.
The handsome young man in brocade robes and his two men were tied up and thrown at the city gate.
The young man whined, whether he was scolding or asking for help.
