The result of Deacon Li's report caused Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao to be stunned for a moment.
"Yan was captured and brought into a dilapidated manor?"
"He was actually not captured and brought to the Umbra Palace. What exactly does the Duanmu Clan want to do?"
The two of them glanced at each other in confusion, then hurriedly stood up and left the secret room to rush towards Black Cloud Alley.
Deacon Li originally wanted to send a team of spies to protect them, but Ji Tianxing refused.
"The spies of the Hidden Cloud Pavilion are mostly at the seventh or eighth level of the Origin Core Stage, and are utterly unable to be of any help.
Deacon Li, you only need to send a spy to lead the way for us. "
Since Ji Tianxing had spoken, Deacon Li naturally did as he was told, and sent a young spy that was astute and agile to lead the way for Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao.
The three of them left the Hidden Cloud Pavilion's branch and rushed towards Black Cloud Alley with their fastest speed.
After an hour, the three of them arrived at Black Cloud Alley.
When Ji Tianxing saw the situation in the alley clearly, he only felt disbelief.
This was a dirty and old alley, and both sides of the alley were low earthen houses, tiled houses, and wooden sheds. The ground was full of potholes and was covered in muddy water.
Walking in the alley, Ji Tianxing saw over 10 martial artists in ragged clothes that had disheveled hair and collapsed under the eaves of the sheds by the side of the road.
There were also a few martial artists that wore tattered armor that walked out from the depths of the alley, and their footsteps were unsteady as they limped through the muddy water.
They hadn't even walked close when the stench of alcohol assaulted their nostrils, causing them to raise their eyebrows. These were obviously a few drunkards.
Ji Tianxing found it hard to believe that there was actually such a dirty, disorderly, and vile alley in the flourishing Central Continent City.
If it wasn't for Yun Yao telling him that the depths of Black Cloud Alley was the entrance to the underground city, he would truly suspect that he had entered the slums.
The three of them calmly and quietly passed through the alley, and after walking for over 1000 meters, they arrived at the end of Black Cloud Alley.
Before them was a low and old house, and the dilapidated door was dyed with dark red bloodstains.
There were two huge red lanterns hanging at the door, which were still lit with a dim yellow light.
Ji Tianxing walked into the house, past the fake mountains and pond in the courtyard, and arrived at the dimly lit hall.
A stooped old man in a black robe with white hair and beard silently appeared behind the three of them.
"Young man, this is not a place you should be."
A low and hoarse voice rang out. It contained an eerie ghostly aura, causing people to feel a chill down their backs.
Ji Tianxing turned his head and couldn't help but frown when he saw the appearance of the black-robed old man.
The black-robed old man was hunched over. His face was pale and bloodless. He was missing an eye, and there were several hideous sword wounds. His ears were also bald, as if they had been shaved off.
Such a stooped old man with skin as dry as tree bark and a terrifying face looked like a mummy that had crawled out of a grave.
However, Yun Yao had told Ji Tianxing that this black-robed old man was the legendary Ghost Servant, one of the gatekeepers of the Dark City.
No one knew the Ghost Servant's cultivation level. He only had an eerie ghostly aura around him, which made him seem unfathomable.
However, even a Sky Origin Stage 6 or 7 powerhouse wouldn't dare to act rashly in front of the Ghost Servant.
"Senior, we have something to do in the Dark City. Please make an exception."
Ji Tianxing bowed to the Ghost Servant. After explaining the purpose of their visit, he handed over three spiritual stones.
The Ghost Servant glanced at Ji Tianxing with his empty eye and grinned with his sparse teeth.
"Hehe, little guy, you're quite sensible."
He reached out his shriveled hand and took the three spiritual stones and put them into his interspatial ring.
Then, he led Ji Tianxing and the other two out of the hall and walked into a dark secret room.
On the floor of the secret room, there was an extremely complicated and mysterious array.
When the Ghost Servant opened the array, an underground passage appeared on the ground.
The entrance of the cave was dark and cold. It was obviously leading to the Dark City.
Ji Tianxing, Yun Yao and the young secret agent entered the underground passage one by one. They walked along the dark and cold passage and went underground.
The passage was winding and it was unknown how far it went underground.
Until two hours later, when a bridge appeared in front of the passage, there was some light in the surroundings.
Ji Tianxing walked to the dark stone bridge and looked around. He couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression.
Under his feet was a black arch bridge that was hundreds of meters long. Under the bridge was a large river that was hundreds of meters wide. In the river, there was turbulent black water flowing endlessly, making a rumbling sound.
Above his head was a dome that was thousands of meters high. That was the rock layer under the Continent Central City.
In the distance, there was an empty and dark sky. A dark red moon was floating in the sky, sprinkling down a dim light red light.
The earth in the distance was very desolate. There were collapsed city walls, attics and halls, collapsed houses, and huge statues half hidden in the mud …
The various scenes that he saw all showed how glorious this abandoned ancient city used to be.
Ji Tianxing stood on the arch bridge and looked for a while. Then he crossed the stone bridge. Under the guidance of the young secret agent, he walked into the depths of the Dark City.
Along the way, he saw the dilapidated palaces and pavilions in all directions. There were mysterious martial artists coming in and out.
Most people acted alone, wearing a wide robe and a cloak that covered their face, hiding their true face.
Even if they didn't wear a cloak, they would wear a mask.
Everyone was in a hurry and never talked to strangers.
Inside those ruined buildings, there were many places for people to trade and sell their wares.
While hurrying, Yun Yao said to Ji Tianxing with spiritual sense sound transmission, "Tianxing, although the Dark City is gloomy and terrible, full of darkness and violence, there are many experts here.
It can be said that there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons. You have to be careful here.
Although it is full of a large number of evil and vicious things that are strictly prohibited from circulating, there are also many rare and rare treasures. Some rare treasures often appear.
The experts of the major forces in Zhongzhou City will also change their appearance and quietly come here to fish for treasures, or to buy rare materials and so on … "
On the way, Yun Yao introduced the Dark City to Ji Tianxing in detail.
Ji Tianxing remembered her words, thinking that it might be useful in the future.
Half an hour later, the young secret agent took the two of them to the outside of an ancient and dilapidated manor.
This manor covered an area of two thousand meters. It should have been a magnificent, noble and illustrious mansion.
However, the war in ancient times caused half of the mansion to collapse.
Many houses and palaces had collapsed, turning into mud and gravel on the ground, revealing pieces of broken fences and walls.
The ground paved with black slabs was cracked with numerous gullies, and many piles of gravel were scattered.
The whole manor was silent and dark. There was no light at all, like a lifeless dead land.
