Unbeknownst to everyone, they sneaked into the second floor of the Assignment Hall. Seeing that there was no one around, Wutian and Ye Xiwen walked out of the spatial divine item.
Ye Xiuling looked at the entrance of the escalator and shook her head. "The portal is such an important place, yet no one is guarding it. The people in the Assignment Hall must be stupid."
"They are not stupid. They are confident that no one dares to barge into the Assignment Hall."
Wutian smiled coldly. He secretly asked Bird Sage to give him a token. Then, he grabbed the token and pressed it into the groove of the portal.
The token shattered immediately. Specks of light fell, and the portal emitted a dazzling light.
"Who is opening the portal without permission?"
When the portal was opened, a loud shout came from downstairs.
Wutian and Ye Xiwen looked at each other. They walked into the portal almost at the same time and disappeared in an instant.
Whoosh!
Two figures appeared out of thin air. They were two golden-armored guards. Looking at the portal that was closing, their eyes were slightly gloomy.
However, they did not dare to chase after them.
Because the portal here not only led to the eighth garrison, but also to the tenth garrison. If the person who opened the portal without permission was going to the tenth garrison, they would undoubtedly be courting death.
"Over the years, Wutian and the Sky-swallowing Beast have caused a lot of trouble in the various garrisons. In the future, it would be best to send someone to guard the portal."
"Things are different now. The situation in the Sea of Stars is a little chaotic now. We should indeed send someone to guard it to prevent others from taking advantage of the loopholes."
The two of them discussed for a while and then left.
The tenth garrison!
This was a place that struck fear in people's hearts!
The sea beasts here were at least Tenth Tribulation Divine Spirits. Usually, no one dared to set foot here. Even Tenth Tribulation Divine Spirits had to think twice. It would not be an exaggeration to say that this place was the most dangerous place in the Celestial realm!
In the middle of a square that was about ten thousand feet wide, a cold portal was located. From afar, it looked like a lonely old man. It was lonely and lifeless.
Suddenly!
The portal shone brightly. A man and a woman walked out one after another. As expected, they were Wutian and Ye Xiuling.
The two of them stood in front of the portal and scanned their surroundings. Their brows gradually furrowed.
The tenth garrison was also a city, but it had an extremely ancient aura. It was obvious that it had existed for countless years.
When they looked around, there was not a single person in the huge city. The sun was shining brightly in the sky, but they felt a chill in their hearts. It was as if they had come to a ghost city!
No!
In fact, this was a ghost city. No one could be found if they were alive or dead. The whole place was filled with an eerie aura. Coupled with the various legends about this place, even a Tenth Tribulation Divine Spirit would not want to stay here for a moment longer.
Ye Xiuling hid behind Wutian and looked around timidly. "Wutian, it doesn't seem fun here. Why don't we go back?"
Wutian: "I think it's fine. If you want to go back, go back by yourself."
Since he was here, he wanted to explore this mysterious place. It was not his character to return empty-handed. He also wanted to scare this woman.
"I really didn't find anything fun here. Please, let's go back!"
Ye Xiuling begged in a coquettish tone. Wutian did not buy it and directly ignored her.
The conversation between the two added a trace of life to the empty city.
"Let's go to the city."
As Wutian spoke, he walked toward the northern city. His footsteps echoed in the square. Ye Xiuling could not help but feel scared. She hurriedly followed him.
The buildings on both sides of the street were covered with dust. No one knew how many years it had been since someone had come here.
Wutian stopped in front of a courtyard and was about to push the door open. Ye Xiuling hurriedly stood in front of him and said timidly, "Don't go in. What if there are dirty things?"
Wutian was puzzled. "There are dirty things all over the ground. What are you afraid of?"
"That's not what I mean." Ye Xiuling carefully looked around and whispered, "I'm talking about ghosts."
Wutian was amused. Even mortals did not believe in ghosts in this world. Ye Xiuling, a dignified deity, actually believed it. How funny.
"If you're afraid, hide behind me."
Naturally, he could not be bothered to enlighten her. He said indifferently and pushed Ye Xiuling to the side. Then, he opened the courtyard door and strode in.
The courtyard was overgrown with weeds. It was incomparably desolate.
Ye Xiuling followed behind Wutian in fear and trepidation. She entered the loft.
Dust piled up in the loft. There was a very unpleasant moldy smell. There were no traces of people.
"Wutian, let's go!"
Ye Xiuling was getting more and more afraid. Even her voice was trembling.
Wutian was really curious. Such a fearless person would actually be afraid of a deserted city. How strange.
Ignoring Ye Xiuling's dissuasion, Wutian went to the second and third floors. He carefully looked around. Apart from the dust on the ground, he did not find anything valuable.
"Let's go. Let's go to the next courtyard."
Looking at the trembling Ye Xiuling behind him, Wutian could not help but find it funny. He immediately went downstairs and entered another courtyard. There was also no result.
"Strange."
Wutian stood on the street. His eyebrows were tightly knitted together.
Ye Xiuling asked, "Isn't it just a ghost town? What's so strange about it?"
Wutian said, "They all say that this place is extremely dangerous. But we've been here for so long and nothing has happened. Isn't it strange?"
"Looking at you, you can't wait for something to happen?"
Ye Xiuling was angry and amused. She was already scared to death, but this guy still had the mood to think about these problems. Instead of thinking about these useless problems, it was better to comfort her and let her feel a sense of security. What a blockhead, a man without sympathy.
Wutian suggested, "Why don't we split up and look?"
Ye Xiuling did not even think about it. She immediately said, "No, what a joke. You're a man. Can you bear to leave a weak woman like me? If something happens to me, will you take responsibility? "
"Weak woman?"
Hearing this, Wutian sneered. His figure flashed and turned into a ray of light. He directly rushed to the courtyard in front of him.
"You're really a bastard. You don't know how to be gentle with a woman!"
Ye Xiuling was so angry that she stomped her feet. Looking around, she did not even see a shadow. Her delicate body could not help but tremble. She hurriedly chased after Wutian.
However, when she entered the attic and searched all three floors, she did not see Wutian.
"Wutian, where are you? Come out quickly! "
Ye Xiuling called out, but there was no response.
"Please, stop playing. Come out quickly. I'll apologize to you, okay?"
She carefully searched for a while, but she still could not find Wutian. She called out anxiously. Her eyes were filled with helplessness.
"Little Wutian, is it really okay for you to do this?"
In the Star Realm, Little Wu Hao looked at the scene before her and frowned slightly.
"Grandpa Bird Saint thinks that a woman like her needs to be taught a lesson. Otherwise, she'll really think of herself as a queen. How can she entertain others as she pleases?" Bird Saint gloated.
Wutian smiled faintly. He turned to Bird Saint and said, "Help me gather the Blood-maned Bulls. I need to search this ghost city properly."
"Is that really necessary?" Bird Saint was confused.
"Of course it is. Everyone says that the tenth garrison is the core of the central sea region. The sea beasts here are all Tenth Tribulation Gods. But why is this city still undamaged? There's clearly no one guarding this city. Why haven't the sea beasts taken over this place? "Wutian asked.
"Isn't it simple? There must be some powerful barriers or seals in the city," said Bird Saint.
Wutian shook his head and said, "That's impossible. I've already checked in secret. I didn't sense any barriers or seals at all. I'm guessing that there must be a powerful ultimate treasure somewhere that's protecting this city."
"That makes sense. Okay, I'll gather them right away." Bird Saint flapped his wings and quickly disappeared from the secondary space.
Little Wu Hao withdrew her gaze and looked at Wutian. "Little Wutian, I have a question for you. You have to answer me honestly."
Wutian asked, "What is it?"
Little Wu Hao said, "If — and I'm just saying if — you find out that I'm lying to you one day. What will you do?"
"What are you lying to me about?" Wutian was slightly stunned and confused.
Little Wu Hao said, "I'm just saying if. All in all, you just have to answer me."
Wutian thought for a moment and said, "I won't blame you if you're lying to me, because I know that you're doing it for my own good."
Little Wu Hao continued, "What if I hurt you? Or make you lose something, such as your cultivation? "
"Do you have a fever? Otherwise, why do you keep asking weird questions? " Wutian reached out to touch his forehead, only to be slapped away by Little Wu Hao. She glared at him and said, "I'm an energy body. How can I have a fever? I think you're the one who's sick in the head. "
Wutian shook his head and chuckled. He looked at the woman in the picture, only to be shocked.
At this moment, Ye Xiuling was curled up in a corner, muttering to herself. Her two jade-like arms were tightly wrapped around each other, and her thin body was shivering. Her eyes were filled with hesitation and despair, and there were even clear traces of tears in the corners of her eyes!
Obviously, she was terrified to the extreme.
He was a little puzzled. Why would such a fearless woman be afraid of a groundless ghost?
To be honest, Wutian couldn't bear to leave her alone. No matter how unreasonable this woman was, she was still a woman. It seemed a bit too much to leave her alone.
But when he thought of the humiliation he suffered in the Ninth Garrison, he felt very relieved.
But no matter what, as a man, he should have the demeanor of a man. He couldn't be calculative with a woman because of some things.
Just as he was about to leave, Little Wu Hao suddenly said, "Little Wutian, if one day I betray you, please don't hate me."
Wutian was stunned. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Don't worry, I won't hate you."
To be exact, he didn't take it to heart at all. He only thought that Little Wu Hao had suddenly gone crazy. After all, Little Wu Hao had been helping him since he was young. Until now, Little Wu Hao already knew him well, so how could he betray him?
