Gu Qingxi could see that the two sea tribes were living in misery, but she didn't expect it to be so miserable.
I haven't had enough to eat all this time.
Gu Qingxi took the two of them to a roadside food stall and ordered two bowls of noodles for them. Watching the two of them wolfing them down, she ordered two more bowls of noodles.
Huo Xiaodao felt very uncomfortable when he saw the two of them working hard.
These two people used to be powerful guards, and they also served as his personal guards. Their strength has long reached the point where they don't need to eat, but in this place, they have become mortals and have to work hard for three meals a day.
Running around.
After the two sea tribes had eaten three bowls of noodles respectively, they took Gu Qingxi to where they stayed.
Two houses of the Hai Clan were located at the very edge of the west part of the city. As soon as they walked into this place, Gu Qingxi knew that this was a slum area. The people who lived here were in ragged clothes and had sallow complexions and thin skin.
Relatively speaking, the complexions of these two sea tribes are actually quite good.
The residence of Zheng Yuan and Kong Tian is a low house, so you have to lower your head to enter.
There is only a table, two chairs, and two low beds in the room.
"Young Master, I feel sorry for you to sit in such a place." Zheng Yuan wiped the two chairs again and again before asking Huo Xiaodao and Gu Qingxi to sit down, while he and Kong Tian stood aside cautiously.
"Sit down and talk." After Huo Xiaodao sat down, he looked up at Zheng Yuan, pointed to the low bed and said.
If he doesn't sit down, he has to raise his head to talk to them, and his neck will be sore, okay?
Gu Qingxi also sat down and waited for the two sea tribesmen's stories.
"Tell me, start talking after you disappeared." Huo Xiaodao urged.
Zheng Yuan stopped talking nonsense and began to tell: "That day, Kong Tian and I were ordered by the Territory Lord to investigate the sea area. Young Master, you also know that a brother disappeared in that sea area before, so the Territory Lord ordered us to search for it.
clue.
We searched that sea area for several days and nights, but found nothing unusual.
On the fifth day, we noticed strange spiritual energy fluctuations underwater, so we went deep underwater to find the source.
As a result, we felt a terrifying force coming towards us and we fainted.
When we wake up, we are already in this city.
Then we discovered that we couldn't use our spiritual powers and we became mortals."
At this point, Zheng Yuan's face turned ugly, obviously remembering bad memories.
Seeing that Zheng Yuan didn't speak, Kong Tian continued: "This place is very strange. It's not just us, but some human monks are the same. After entering here, they can no longer use spiritual power and become mortals.
However, there are only a few human beings who enter here, and most of them are monks from our sea clan.
This city is called Huangcheng.
The city lord is very harsh on outsiders like us.
Arrange for outsiders like us to do the hardest, most tiring, and dirtiest jobs, and kill anyone who resists.
Everyone here is a mortal, only the city lord can use spiritual power.
Some of us have sneaked into the city lord's mansion before, wanting to know the secret of why the city lord can use spiritual power.
But no one found the secret, and instead they were all killed by her, and their bodies were hung on the city gate for public display.
The city lord gets married every year and chooses a groom in the city..."
When Gu Qingxi heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and she interrupted Kong Tian: "Wait, do you get married every year? Choose a groom? Is the city lord a woman?"
"Yes, the city lord is a woman. She is the strongest person in the city. She chooses a husband every year, and the men in the city are proud to be chosen by her." Kong Tian replied.
Gu Qingxi: "..."
This city lord is quite capable of enjoying the happiness of life.
Kong Tian continued: "However, a few days ago, she sent away all her husbands. It is said that it was for a foreign male cultivator from the human race. The male cultivator is said to have a handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament. It is said that the city lord first saw him
I was hooked.
But the male cultivator didn't treat her with pretentious remarks, and she wasn't annoyed. It was said that he treated him as an honored guest and treated him with courtesy.
I heard that a grand event will be held for this man in a while."
When Gu Qingxi heard this, she was startled. She didn't know why, but her intuition told her that this man was Senior Brother Ye Ye Wuchen!
At this time, Yafeng's voice sounded in Gu Qingxi's mind: "Master, why do I think this male cultivator is talking about Ye Wuchen? Is he going to be someone else's wife? Oh, no, Yazhai
The husband is the one."
"Yafeng, are you here?" Gu Qingxi was a little surprised.
After the spiritual power cannot be circulated here, the spirit pet bag cannot be opened, and Zaizai and the others cannot communicate with themselves.
Even all souls have lost their voices.
But Yafeng was still able to communicate with her.
"Well, I'm here, but my strength has also been greatly weakened. I don't know if the city lord is beautiful or not, and I don't know if Ye Wuchen will be moved by it. Alas, if he is moved by it when he sees the city lord is beautiful, he will be very sorry to you, master.
Damn it." Yafeng sighed, looking like she was feeling unfair for Gu Qingxi.
Gu Qingxi: "..."
Talking about how I feel about my sword and how I feel as its owner.
"Do you know what the level of the city lord's cultivation is?" Gu Qingxi asked.
"At least build the foundation." Zheng Yuan said with a pale face.
A mere foundation-building monk, from the outside, is just an inconspicuous one among the many monks in the world of cultivation.
But here, a foundation builder controls the life and death of the people in the city, dominates and becomes a true earth emperor.
"Oh, where is the foundation building? Master, you are a mortal now, so don't take risks. I don't think Ye Wuchen would want you to take risks. He also wants you to protect yourself first." Yafeng continued.
Gu Qingxi: "..."
Could the schadenfreude in Yafeng's tone be more obvious?
"If that person is really Senior Brother Ye, there is no need to worry. He is just a Foundation Establishment monk. Even if Senior Brother Ye cannot use spiritual power, his sword skills are nothing to worry about as a Foundation Establishment monk.
And now that there is no other news coming out, I think Senior Brother Ye should have his own plan." Gu Qingxi said to Yafeng.
If that person was really Senior Brother Ye, the city lord probably wouldn't treat him with courtesy, but there would be nothing he could do against Senior Brother Ye.
"...Same." Although Yafeng didn't want to admit that this was indeed the case, he also knew very well that if the city lord was really just a foundation-building practitioner, even if Ye Wuchen couldn't use his spiritual power, there would be nothing he could do.
But Ye Wuchen, who is an outstanding swordsman.
Ye Wuchen is indeed very powerful, whether in his previous life or in this life.
It has always been so dazzling, magnificent and eye-catching.
Alas, it's a pity that Ye Wuchen can no longer be the husband of the stronghold.
Yafeng secretly regretted it in her heart.
Zheng Yuan and Kong Tian looked at Gu Qingxi's silence, seeming to be thinking about something. They did not dare to interrupt her thoughts, but waited quietly.
Because this female cultivator from the human race gave them palpitations and gave them inexplicable pressure, even though they knew that the female cultivator in front of them had lost her cultivation.
The two of them glanced at Huo Xiaodao and found that Huo Xiaodao was also waiting obediently and quietly.
Both of them were wondering, how did the young master end up with this human female cultivator?
Moreover, the young master, who has always been domineering and unreasonable, actually seems to follow this female cultivator's lead?
Is it their illusion?
Gu Qingxi was going to investigate the city lord's mansion to see if that stunning man was Ye Wuchen.
