After Xiang Chen and Long Zhan arrived, Lord Tianyun actually came out to greet them in person, showing enough respect.
"Fellow Taoist Long Zhan and Taoist Li Chen, welcome both of you to our city lord's mansion."
Ye Tianyun stepped forward, cupped his fists and smiled to welcome him.
Xiang Chen secretly looked at Ye Tianyun. Under his divine eyes, he could get a rough idea of the opponent's cultivation level even without using his spiritual thoughts.
Judging from the intensity of the energy waves and vitality contained in the opponent's body, the opponent's cultivation level should be similar to that of the Netherworld Emperor Li Zhuang who was chasing him before.
Within the realm of the great emperor, there should be no place beyond the minor heavenly realm.
He stretched out his hand to stop hitting the smiling man, and Xiang Chen also clasped his fists in return.
"I've met Lord Ye City!"
Ye Tianyun looked at Xiang Chen with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Li Chen, this is the first time we have met. The last time I went to visit Taoist Taoist, he was in retreat. I was a little regretful that I was not able to see Taoist Taoist Li Chen."
He, a powerful man at the level of an emperor, was so polite to Xiang Chen, a heavenly king, and an ordinary heavenly king would be frightened and flattered.
However, in Ye Tianyun's eyes, Xiang Chen should be a formation master at the peak level of formation master. He naturally has his own arrogance and dignity, so his status cannot be determined by the level of his cultivation.
Xiang Chen smiled and said: "I am a little regretful that I was not able to see the city lord in the last retreat. I wonder what the city lord summoned us two brothers for?"
Ye Tianyun gestured to enter the palace: "Let's go in and talk."
"good."
Several people entered the main hall and sat down in the hall. The maid served them fine wine and food. Xiang Chen, Long Zhan and others sat down separately.
Ye Tianyun first raised his wine glass and said: "On behalf of the Tianyun City Lord's Mansion, I welcome you two, please!"
"City Lord, you're welcome, please!"
Several people raised their glasses and drank a glass of wine first. After putting down their glasses, Ye Tianyun smiled and asked, "Ye would like to ask, where are you two from? How long do you plan to stay in Tianyun City?"
"Of course, I'm just asking casually. If you two find it inconvenient to answer, it doesn't matter."
Xiang Chen's eyes met with Long Zhan's, but Long Zhan said nothing. Xiang Chen said: "We two brothers are from outside the forbidden land. We came here to avoid disaster because we offended the officials. We will not stay in Tianyun City for too long."
"Oh, that's it." Ye Tianyun nodded, because in this situation, many people entered the forbidden place.
People in the forbidden land are either native residents or people who came here because they couldn't survive outside.
Outsiders who come to the forbidden land are either here to hunt for treasures or they have the intention of coming here to become bandits and force them to go to Liangshan.
Xiang Chen spoke vaguely, and Ye Tianyun didn't expect him to be more detailed, or even expected that what he said was true.
When asking questions like this, it's really just about getting to know each other and finding a topic to ask. It's good if the other party can tell the truth, but it doesn't matter if it's false.
Ye Tianyun said: "To be honest, I invited you two to the City Lord's Mansion because I also have an opportunity that I want to share with you!"
"Opportunity?"
Xiang Chen and Long Zhan looked at each other in surprise, and Xiang Chen became wary instantly.
Talking about sharing opportunities with two people who don't know each other and are almost strangers is probably not a good thing.
Xiang Chen probed and asked: "May I ask the city lord, what kind of opportunity is it?"
Ye Tianyun smiled slightly, took a sip of wine and then said: "That's right: "It's like this, our Tianyun City and the other two surrounding cities control an ancient secret realm!"
"In that ancient secret realm, there are precious medicinal materials and countless treasures, and there may even be magic weapons passed down by powerful ancestors from ancient times."
"And that secret realm opens every million years, and now it's almost time to open it."
"However, due to the repulsive and repressive nature of space, even if the Emperor of Heaven enters it, he will be suppressed and can only exert his emperor-level strength!"
"But there are a lot of ancient divine bans, formations and other things inside. If you accidentally touch these things, it may cause danger, so we also need powerful formation masters to help suppress the formation and crack it!"
"And every time it is turned on, our Tianyun City and the other two cities will fight, fights will break out, and there will be conflicts inside."
"So we hope that the two of you can join us and enter the secret realm to explore together. As for the harvest, what you get is your own, and what everyone gets together will be distributed fairly after coming out."
"You two, what do you think? Are you interested in this secret realm?"
After Ye Tianyun finished speaking, he noticed the changes in the expressions of the two people.
The two did not speak, but communicated through voice transmission in secret.
Long Zhan: "Brother Li, what do you think? Do you want to explore the ancient secret realm?"
Xiang Chen: "I'm a little interested, but I can't trust the City Lord's Mansion. I'll wait until I know more about the situation in this ancient secret realm!"
Ye Tianyun knew that the two were communicating through sound transmission, but did not rush them.
Xiang Chen said: "City Lord, are there any more details about the ancient secret realm? We two brothers want to know more before making a decision!"
Ye Tianyun smiled and said: "Of course, this jade slip contains many details about that ancient secret realm."
As he spoke, a divine light flew out of his hand and landed in front of Xiang Chen. It was a jade slip.
Xiang Chen grabbed it, his spiritual thoughts poured into it, and suddenly more information about the ancient secret book appeared in his mind.
Qingling Secret Realm, the name of this ancient secret realm, was discovered 32 million years ago. It is located in a place called Qingling Galaxy, about fifteen light years away from Tianyun City.
It produces Jade Soul Mushroom, Imperial Ginseng, and Hongmeng Linglong Fruit——
It records the birth of medicinal materials, heavenly materials and earthly treasures inside.
In addition to these, there are also legacy inheritances from powerful people. There are records of people who have received ancient inheritances and subsequently became great emperors.
After Xiang Chen read the information, he gave the jade slip to Long Zhan, and Long Zhan quickly finished reading it.
The two handed back the jade slips, and Long Zhan sent a message to ask: "What do you mean, should we do it or not?"
Xiang Chen asked Ye Tianyun: "City Lord, how long does it take to open the ancient secret realm?"
Ye Tianyun felt a little happy in his heart. It seemed that the other party was attracted by it: "The opening day will come in one month. How about it? Are you two interested?"
Xiang Chen looked thoughtful and hesitant, and after a moment he slowly said: "It's too dangerous inside. It is recorded above that some of the gods are forbidden, and if the formation is touched, the emperor will be wiped out!"
"The risk is not small. It would be fine if it were just the two of us brothers, but if we go in with the city lord and your people, we have to take care of many people, so the level of danger and difficulty will be greatly increased!"
Xiang Chen's implication is that we can follow him in, it must be beneficial!
Lord Tianyun naturally heard what Xiang Chen meant, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist is right, but we can pay fellow Taoist some rewards in advance, so that your efforts will not be in vain.
