The two conditions that the Ye family agreed to Zhang Yao have now been fulfilled.
The reason why Ye Zhixing went to the City Lord's Mansion one day in advance to remove the names of Mo Ling'er and Mo Shang from the tribute list was related to the eternal curse cast on Zhang Yao.
Having cast the eternal spell on Zhang Yao, Ye Zhixing completely trusted Zhang Yao, so he fulfilled the two conditions of agreeing to Zhang Yao in advance.
After Zhang Yao knew that these two things had been completed, Ye Youran said: "Although the selection of disciples of the Eight Sects will only start tomorrow, there is still a long way to go between Luo Lei City and the forbidden area of the Immortal Emperor's statue, so we will leave today."
"Brother Mo Yao, we also want to take a look." Mo Ling'er and Mo Shang looked eager.
"Together!" Zhang Yao nodded.
Even if Mo Ling'er and Mo Shang didn't ask to go, Zhang Yao would take Mo Ling'er and Mo Shang with them.
Although Ye Youran said that Mo Ling'er and Mo Shang's names had been eliminated from the tribute list, Zhang Yao did not see this with his own eyes. Who knows whether the Ye family would just use words to trick him and bring Mo Ling'er to
By bringing him and Mo Shang, Zhang Yao would know whether the Ye family had really eliminated the names of the two siblings from the tribute list.
"When are you leaving?" Zhang Yao asked.
"Do you have anything to prepare? If not, we can leave now." Ye Youran said.
The other nine aristocratic families in Luo Lei City had already gone to the forbidden area of the Immortal Emperor's statue three days ago.
The Ye family has not left for two reasons. First, given the current situation of the Ye family, they do not want to meet other aristocratic families on the road. If they meet, the Ye family will only suffer ridicule and humiliation from other aristocratic families. If they set off at the same time as other aristocratic families
To be in a forbidden area is to bring shame on oneself.
Second, Zhang Yao has never left the Kung Fu Pavilion, and Ye Zhixing wants Zhang Yao to stay in the Ye Family Kung Fu Pavilion for a while.
"Let's go."
Zhang Yao had nothing to prepare. As for the alloy knife and alloy sword, he had already discarded them on the way to Luo Lei City.
Alloy knives and alloy swords are modern technological products. If Zhang Yao brought them into Luo Lei City, he would not be able to take them out and use them, which would easily arouse suspicion.
Zhang Yao, Mo Ling'er, Mo Shang, and Miao Poxiao followed Ye Youran and walked outside Ye Mansion.
As for Lan Yi, when Zhang Yao promised to leave immediately, Ye Youran asked Lan Yi to inform Ye Zhixing.
Zhang Yao and others came to the gate of Ye Mansion and saw felt carts parked on the wide and straight bluestone road.
The felt cart is pulled by a monster that looks like a horse. This monster's endurance and leg strength are much stronger than ordinary horses.
A monster felt cart can carry eight to ten people if it is full.
With so many demon beast felt carts, this trip to the Ye family would take at least 180 people.
There are even a few monster vehicles at the very back, loaded with cargo.
Zhang Yao was slightly surprised that so many people and goods were there.
"So many people!" Mo Ling'er and Mo Shang had never seen such a large formation. Looking at the long queue of demon beast felt carts, the two siblings were amazed.
Ye Youran smiled and said to everyone: "Every year during the selection of disciples of the eight sects, many people from major aristocratic families in each city will come.
The first is to stay outside the forbidden area of the Immortal Emperor's portrait, and wait for the selection of the eight sects to be completed, so that the major families will know the results as soon as possible.
Second, the gathering of all the major families in one place is a good opportunity to exchange what they have, and a temporary lively market will be formed outside the forbidden area.
Of course, in addition to people from major aristocratic families, there will also be many casual cultivators who will also enter the market to trade."
Zhang Yao and others nodded.
Ye Youran, Miao Poxiao, Mo Ling'er, Mo Shang, Zhang Yao, five people rode a monster felt car together.
After a while, Lan Yi also got into the monster felt car. Immediately, there was a commotion outside. It was the Ye family who were preparing to go to the forbidden area of the Immortal Emperor's statue this time.
Zhang Yao ignored the commotion outside the cart and asked, "How many people from the Ye family are running for election?"
After Zhang Yao entered the Ye family, he almost stayed in the Ye family's Kung Fu pavilion. He was cared for when eating and drinking, but he didn't know much about other things.
"Just three people, you, me, and Lan Yi." Ye Youran said.
"Where are the other aristocratic families?" Zhang Yao asked again.
"Each aristocratic family can only have a maximum of ten candidates each year, and there is at least no limit." Ye Youran said.
At least there is no restriction. Any family that does not want to participate in the selection of disciples of the Eight Sects can do so. However, if the statue of the Immortal Emperor is not brought out from the forbidden area for three consecutive years, the name of the family will be deprived. After being deprived of the name of the family, the monks in the family will enter.
Monk's Mansion, ordinary people from aristocratic families enter the Eternal Mansion.
No matter whether you enter the Monk's Mansion or the Eternal Mansion, your final end will be tragic.
The Ye family has not brought out the statue of the Immortal Emperor from the forbidden area for two consecutive years. If the Ye family does not bring out the statue of the Immortal Emperor this year, the Ye family will be destroyed!
In the two years after the Ye family offended the Ling family and the Chu family, all the candidates from the Ye family died.
Today's Ye family are either ordinary people or monks above the third level. Only Ye Youran and Lan Yi are third-level monks and dare to participate in the selection of eight sect disciples.
There are still some people in the Ye family who, although they are also monks below the third level, do not have the courage to participate in the selection of disciples of the Eight Sects, but have other ideas.
It is precisely because of this that the Ye family will advertise and spend a lot of money to recruit casual cultivators to increase the number of candidates from the Ye family and increase the possibility of the Ye family bringing out the Immortal Emperor's portrait from the forbidden area.
Zhang Yao understood that the other aristocratic families had ten people, but the Ye family only had two people. This year was also the year of deadline, so no wonder the Ye family had to spend a lot of money to hire casual cultivators.
At this time, the monster felt cart started moving. Apparently everyone had arrived, and the Ye family set off to the forbidden area of the Immortal Emperor's statue.
"Why did the Ye family offend the Ling family and the Chu family?" Mo Ling'er and Mo Shang looked curious.
Everyone has always heard that the Ye family has offended the Ling family and the Chu family, the first and second aristocratic families in Luo Lei City, but they don't know the specific reasons.
Speaking of the hatred between the Ling family and the other two families, Ye Youran's eyes welled up with anger and a hint of sadness.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Youran calmed down the anger in his heart, but the ray of sadness could not be dissipated for a long time.
Ye Youran said slowly: "Three years ago, a genius named Ye Cangguang came out of the Ye family.
That year, Ye Cangguang obtained four statues of the Immortal Emperor in the forbidden area.
The Ling family and the Chu family together did not receive as many portraits of the Immortal Emperor as my Ye family did.
Candidates from the Ling family and Chu family joined forces to ask Ye Canggang to hand over half of the Immortal Emperor's portrait, but Ye Cangguan was unwilling.
Naturally, the two sides started fighting. Ye Cangguang killed the strongest members of the Ling family and the Chu family, and the Ye family formed a grudge against the Ling family and the Chu family.
For the next two years, there was no one with outstanding strength in the Ye family. The Ling family and the Chu family joined forces and for two consecutive years, all the candidates from the Ye family were buried in the forbidden area."
Zhang Yao's heart moved. Ye Youran's words contained a very important message.
In the forbidden area of the Immortal Emperor's portrait, fighting is not prohibited!
"Is the person who gets the most portraits of the Immortal Emperor the first among the eight disciples?" Zhang Yao asked.
"Yes!" Ye Youran nodded.
Zhang Yao frowned slightly, killing was not prohibited in the forbidden area of the Immortal Emperor's portrait, and the person who got the most Immortal Emperor's portrait was the first place chosen by the eight disciples.
There are many benefits for selecting the first among eight disciples.
The candidates will definitely fight for the first place.
This looks more like the Eight Immortal Sects deliberately prompting people who enter the forbidden area to fight each other.
If they fight each other, the strong one will definitely survive.
But the eight sects are just to select a group of powerful monks?
Zhang Yao pondered for a long time, unable to figure out the reason, and stopped worrying.
Seeing that Zhang Yao was silent, Ye Youran said: "The candidates of the Ye family have been buried in the forbidden area for two consecutive years. Are you afraid?"
"Afraid! I don't know. Is it too late to quit now?" Zhang Yao asked.
Ye Youran pursed her lips and smiled. Since Zhang Yao said this, he was not afraid anymore.
After a while, Ye Youran dropped her smile, looked at Zhang Yao seriously, and warned: "When entering the forbidden area, be careful of the Ling family and the Chu family. If you encounter Ling Haoran, don't think about anything else and try to escape. And
When you meet Chu Baifu, don't think about anything else, just run for your life."
"Ling Haoran. Chu Bai Fu." Zhang Yao whispered.
One has the surname Ling and the other has the surname Chu. Ling Haoran and Chu Baifu must be the geniuses of the Ling and Chu families in Luo Lei City this year!
Ye Youran asked Zhang Yao not to think about other things and just run away when he met these two people, indicating that these two people should be very powerful.
In addition, the name Ling Haoran is very familiar, Zhang Yao seems to have heard it somewhere.
Oh, yes, when Zhang Yao and others were inquiring about the news at the largest inn in Luo Lei City, they heard someone talk about the Eight Great Seed Monks.
Among them, Ling Haoran is the seed monk in the territory of Thunder Fire Sect!
"Ling Haoran from the Ling family is one of the eight seed monks. Although Chu Baifu from the Chu family is not the eight seed monks, he is also extremely powerful." Ye Youran explained.
Zhang Yao nodded and thought to himself that it would be best not for them, Ling Haoran, Chu Baifu and other members of the Ling and Chu families to meet each other in the forbidden area.
But if they do encounter them and they want to escape, the Ling family and the Chu family may not let them go.
"Did the head of the Ye family give you any life-saving cards?" Zhang Yao asked.
If Ye Zhixing had prepared some life-saving trump cards for Ye Youran, Zhang Yao could save his energy and not have to work so hard when he was in danger before Ye Youran's trump cards were used up.
"No." Ye Youran shook his head.
All the means of the Ye family were used up last year. However, among the ten Ye family candidates last year, none of them survived in the end.
Zhang Yao was slightly depressed, could it be that Ye Zhixing prepared the guidance beads?
The guidance bead can only guide Zhang Yao to Ye Youran's location and has no other use.
All major aristocratic families had already arrived outside the forbidden area of the Immortal Emperor's portrait early, and the Ye family did not encounter other aristocratic families along the way.
The monster beast traveled on a cart for most of the day, and in the evening, the Ye family team arrived outside the forbidden area of the Immortal Emperor's statue.
Everyone got out of the carriage one after another.
Zhang Yao looked around and saw the Ye family's felt cart team arriving at the foot of a mountain.
Ahead is a lonely huge cone-shaped mountain peak. From the peak to the mountainside, it is covered with snow. The mountainside is as dark as ink downwards.
This is a volcano that doesn’t know how to live or die!
The volcano is surrounded by desolate wilderness.
At the foot of the volcano, not far from the Ye family's felt cart team, is a huge temporary market.
Although it was not yet dark, lanterns were already lit in the market, and it was crowded with people and a lively scene.
