"Even if you don't drive them away, I will order them to leave."
Nuo Ling lowered his head, wrung his hands together, and made no sound.
At this time, the city lord on the high platform turned to look at Fang Yu.
"The reason why I came back early today is because I heard that today's winner is more powerful than the previous winners." The city lord smiled and said, "In addition, he doesn't seem to be frightened by the ugly appearance you disguised earlier.
I left without being deterred by the room you set up."
"So I wanted to meet him in person."
Something doesn't seem right.
Fang Yu's heart moved slightly, with a vague premonition of ominousness.
Nuo Ling, who was sitting opposite, was trembling slightly at this moment.
"Dong Xiaoqiang, you are not from this city, where is your hometown?" The city lord looked at Fang Yu and asked.
Fang Yu's eyes changed slightly, he thought for a moment, and replied: "My hometown...even the city lord may not know it, it is a very remote place."
"Haha, heroes don't ask for a way out." The city lord smiled, "When I was young, I was worthless and unknown."
Fang Yu kept nodding after broaching this topic.
In the following time, the city lord did not continue to ask about Fang Yu's background, but instead asked about some interests and hobbies.
Fang Yu's identity is inherently false, so everything he answers is naturally false.
"After you marry Ling'er, I will let you serve as a guard in my personal guard." The city lord said, "How high you can climb from here will depend on your ability."
I don't know why, as the city lord kept talking, Fang Yu's marriage to Nuo Ling seemed to be inevitable.
This was different from what Fang Yu expected.
How could this city lord be so confident in handing over his daughter to an unidentified person who came through a martial arts competition to recruit a bride?
His daughter Nuo Ling doesn't look like she can't get married.
Could this be the thinking or the customs of the Shadow Clan people?
"Uh... City Lord, I don't think you need to be too anxious about the marriage." Fang Yu glanced at Nuo Ling and said.
"What, you don't like Ling'er? Or... you have a problem with me?" the city lord asked with a frown.
"Of course it's not for these reasons, it's just... Ling'er may not like me. After all, getting married is a major event in life. I think it depends on what Ling'er thinks..." Fang Yu said.
"What does this mean? In our shadow clan, marriage matters are always decided by the father!" The city lord scolded with a stern face, "Ling'er can have her own ideas, but it's not important."
Hearing these words, Fang Yu's eyes moved slightly.
On the opposite side, Nuo Ling had her head buried in her chest, and judging from her trembling shoulders, she was already crying.
"Tonight I will ask the medium to come and set a date for the wedding. Before then, you can stay in the house."
After saying that, the city lord stood up, walked to a door at the back, and disappeared.
"This city lord is really strong...a marriage was decided in just a few words?" Fang Yu raised his eyebrows and cursed.
At this time, a suppressed cry sounded in the lobby.
Fang Yu frowned, stood up, walked to Nuo Ling, and said using his true energy: "Why are you crying? Have you forgotten my purpose?"
Nuo Ling raised her head and looked at Fang Yu with tears in her eyes.
"Go get me a map now. I'll leave immediately after I get the map." Fang Yu said.
The situation has changed, and the city lord insists on letting Fang Yu and Nuo Ling get married... Then he can only cut the knot quickly and achieve his goal first.
As for what consequences it will cause, I don't care, we will talk about it later.
Hearing Fang Yu's words, Nuo Ling's beautiful eyes flashed with hope, and she immediately wiped away her tears and stood up.
"You promise... you will leave immediately after you get the map!" Nuo Ling bit her lip and said.
"Of course, I promise. Once I get the map, I will leave immediately. Even your father can't stop me." Fang Yu replied.
"Okay, I'm going to ask my father for the map now... Just wait for me in the yard outside. I'll be back soon." Nuo Ling wiped his tears again, and then walked quickly towards the door where the city lord walked in.
Fang Yu took his time and walked out of the lobby, standing there, looking up at the sky.
Even though we have come to a new dimension, the astronomical phenomena of sunrise and sunset, and moonlight appearing at night are not significantly different and still exist.
At this time, it was already evening, and the sky was filled with red clouds.
"This is the upper plane...it's not much different from the earth." Fang Yu thought to himself.
He originally thought that the upper plane was the fairy world, with fairy energy floating everywhere and fairy light blooming.
But currently, it seems that this scenario does not exist.
"By the way... wasn't the original semi-spirit world imitated by Daokong after he saw the fairy world while he was practicing in the holy courtyard... The scene there is similar to the fairy world described in the legend." Fang Yu
His eyes wrinkled and he thought to himself, "If you think so...what Daokong saw back then was actually the real fairy world, not just the upper plane!?"
"So where is the Immortal World? Does it exist on the Datianchen Star? Or...does it exist on this plane?"
If the fairy world is a place that is more difficult to access than the upper plane, yet Daokong saw it in the holy courtyard...
Then, it can further prove the lofty and unfathomable existence behind the will of the Holy Academy.
After all, the Holy Court is the embodiment of the Holy Court's will, and the Holy Court's will...according to Li Huoyu, is the condensed power released by many terrifying beings that are difficult to reach.
Therefore...even the laws of the plane must be tolerated and even cooperate with the will of the Holy Court.
"What is behind the will of the Holy Court?"
Fang Yu fell into deep thought.
He originally thought that after ascending, many problems would be solved.
But now it seems that instead of being solved, many problems have become more complicated.
This may be the meaning of what the crazy old man said to him in the dream.
"Ascension is just a starting point..."
"Ta-ta-ta..."
Fang Yu was still thinking when a rush of footsteps suddenly came from behind, pulling him out of his thoughts.
Fang Yu immediately turned around and saw Nuo Ling running towards him.
In her hand, she held a roll of paper.
It should be the map.
"I got it." Nuo Ling handed the map in his hand to Fang Yu.
Fang Yu took it and unfolded the map.
The content of the map is very simple, even a bit crude.
The map does not cover a large area, and only twelve cities can be seen on it.
Above the map, there is a line of incomprehensible text.
"What does this line of characters mean?" Fang Yu pointed to this line of characters and asked.
Nuo Ling came over and said: "Illustration of the western boundary of the Shadow Clan."
After saying that, she frowned again, looked at Fang Yu and asked, "Are you illiterate?"
"Yes, my family is poor and I have never read a book." Fang Yu replied.
As he spoke, Fang Yu rolled up the map and held it in his hand.
"Okay, you have completed the mission, and I got what I wanted, then... let's break up." Fang Yu said to Nuo Ling.
"How are you going to get out..." Nuo Ling asked.
"You really want the map... It seems that I have to re-examine your identity."
At this moment, a majestic voice suddenly sounded in the courtyard.
This voice is very familiar...it comes from the city lord.
Nuo Ling's face instantly turned pale.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
At this time, hundreds of black-armored warriors suddenly appeared in the courtyard, surrounding Fang Yu and Nuo Ling in the center.
The city lord walked out of the lobby with his hands behind his back and a straight face, staring at Fang Yu and the map in his hand.
"You are such a reckless boy who dares to sneak into our city lord's mansion..." the city lord said coldly.
"If you were smart, you would have discovered it long ago." Fang Yu said with a smile, "I want to leave now, how can you stop me?"
"Ha, I want to see... how you are going to escape from this place!" The city lord snorted coldly and said.
"Easy as a flip." Fang Yu smiled faintly.
"Whoosh!"
The next second, his entire body disappeared on the spot.
"bass!"
A ray of light lit up on the ground of the entire city lord's palace, and then dissipated in an instant.
The city lord, Nuo Ling, and the surrounding black-armored soldiers were all stunned.
No one reacted.
Fang Yu suddenly disappeared in front of their eyes.
"...The formation in the mansion clearly reacted, why didn't you stop him!?" The city lord reacted, his face as gloomy as water.
