The old man in black robe showed a trace of unruliness and impatience in his eyebrows, and stared at Zhuge Yun who was prostrate on the ground with an indifferent expression.
The atmosphere in the private room instantly became tense due to this sudden change.
"What else can you do besides trusting me? If there wasn't a place where you could be used, with your level of cultivation, you wouldn't even have the qualifications to speak to me!"
The old man in black robe stood up, glanced at Zhuge Yun haughtily, and left the private room.
"Remember what I told you, stay in the city honestly, and if you act smart, don't blame me for being merciless. Although there are many rules in this damn place, I have my own means of not violating them!"
As these words dissipated, the old man in black robe left completely.
"Brother, are you okay?"
Kong Huan glanced at Zhuge Yun worriedly. The old man in black robe was really moody, but he turned against him after asking a few more questions.
Zhuge Yun shook his head and silently wiped away the blood on his lips.
He knew in his heart that the man was just taking the opportunity to establish his power and hold the four of them firmly in his palm.
A trace of worry flashed in Fu Yunshan's eyes, "Then what should we do now? Are we really going to do nothing and just wait?"
Zhuge Yun was silent for a long time, "Let's wait for a while. Anyway, we have no other way to leave now."
Xu Chunniang nodded, "The opponent's cultivation level is at least in the late stage of the Golden Core. Facing a few of our young foundation-building disciples, it is understandable that he does not want to reveal too much information."
After some discussion, they decided to stay put and familiarize themselves with the situation in the city.
Although they have a certain understanding of the rules in the city, they are too one-sided. If they want to survive in the city, these are far from enough.
After Zhuge Yun thought for a while, he called a teahouse waiter and inquired carefully about all the news in the city.
An hour later, the waiter took a bag of spiritual stones and left happily.
Kong Huan clicked his tongue and marveled, "According to what that person said, there is no thunder calamity in advancing to the golden elixir in this space. From this point of view, it is much easier to form an elixir here than in the Qianluo world."
"Don't you think this is a good thing? There is no thunder tribulation after promotion, because the rules here are incomplete, and the condensed golden elixir is at best a fake golden elixir."
Zhuge Yun put down the tea cup, stood up and walked outside, "Let's go to the west city first and find a place to stay."
In the following days, several people slowly adapted to life in the city and gained a better understanding of the world opened up by the evil-eyed beast.
This world was named Thousand Eyes Realm by the Evil-Eyed Beast, and it has existed for at least thousands of years.
Of course, the monks who were forcibly captured did not recognize this name, and they privately called this place the Pseudo Realm.
The evil eye beast refined its own eyes into portals connecting this world and the Qianluo world, and captured the monks through hundreds of portals.
In order to escape from here, some monks did not hesitate to embark on the road of giving birth to offspring, and their descendants became the first aborigines in this world.
As the number of monks and aborigines increased, the entire Thousand Eyes world slowly developed into what it is today.
It's just a short time for mortals to be trapped in the false world for a few hundred years, but for monks, this place is just a more spacious cage.
No matter how talented a monk you are, if the laws of heaven and earth are incomplete, you can only stop at the pseudo-alchemy realm.
At this time, it had been a year since the four of them first came to the pseudo-world.
Kong Huan was a little confused, "This evil-eyed beast has the cultivation level of a god. Why doesn't it go to the upper world? Instead, it spends a lot of time to create such a world. What does it want?"
"Didn't Senior Brother Zhuge say that in the upper world, the God Transformation Monk is nothing? Perhaps it feels it is safer to stay near the Qianluo Realm."
Fu Yunshan guessed, "But what does it want to do by bringing so many mortals out?"
"I once read in an ancient book in the Sutra Pavilion that if it can be sincerely worshiped by mortals, it can gain the power of wishes. It deifies itself in front of mortals, perhaps to collect the power of wishes."
Zhuge Yun said uncertainly. The ancient book he saw was too old and dilapidated. It only vaguely mentioned one or two sentences about the power of wish.
After Xu Chunniang pondered, she slowly spoke.
"To be able to make a great demon-turned-god not hesitate to spend thousands of years to manage something, it must be just his willingness to work on the evil-eyed beast, which is extremely important. Maybe we can try to start from this aspect..."
"Haha, you juniors can surprise me every time. It's just that I don't dare to touch something like the power of will, and it's not something you can easily contaminate!"
A voice suddenly sounded, and an old man in black robe came walking on the wind.
When they met again, the four of them were no longer as panicked as they were the first time.
Since the other party didn't take action against them, it would naturally be useful to have a few people.
The old man in black robe raised his eyebrows slightly. He had chosen many newcomers over the past year, but in terms of courage and knowledge, none of them were as good as the four in front of him.
Originally, he wanted to investigate for a few more years, but now the situation has changed and he has to plan ahead.
Zhuge Yun bowed his hands in salute, as if he had forgotten the last time he suffered a hidden injury and had to recover for several months.
"Senior is here this time, but the time has come?"
"Yes, we have reached the final preparation stage."
The old man in black robe nodded, "I will send someone to take you and the other four out of the city at that time. You just need to follow that person."
Zhuge Yun's throat twitched, and finally he spoke in a neither humble nor overbearing tone, "Senior, please tell me clearly what you need me to do."
The old man in black robe stared at him coldly, and just when they thought he would get angry, they heard a chuckle.
"It's okay to tell you in advance, but you have to think carefully that if you get on my ship, there will be no room for regrets."
There was a smile on his face, but the threat contained in his words was self-evident.
After a brief silence, Xu Chunniang said softly, "It is a great honor for us to have seniors point out a clear path for us. We also ask seniors to give us some advice."
The voice of the old man in black robe floated slowly.
"I need you to take action to deal with some monsters. Of course, you will encounter danger and may even die. But if you survive, you will be qualified to follow me."
The four of them knew very well that what the old man in black robe said definitely left out the key part.
But considering the other party's cultivation level and what he was planning, his willingness to reveal this information proved his sincerity.
After all, finding a way to make a living and escaping from this place is, in a sense, becoming an enemy of the evil-eyed beast in the divine transformation stage.
Xu Chunniang nodded, "Before senior sends someone here, I wonder if I can go to the battle hall to participate in the challenge?"
She had long wanted to challenge the battle hall, but she never went because the other party left a message last time, asking them to do their duty honestly.
I took this opportunity to ask if it was possible.
Hearing this, the old man in black robe looked at her strangely, "You actually want to go to the battle hall?"
