"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Wind Demon and the others were stunned. They looked at each other with deep suspicion in their eyes. Then, they looked at Wutian from head to toe.
Their attitude and actions not only confused Wutian, but also confused Cang Zheng and the others. Could it be that Wutian asked a very stupid question?
After a while, Wind Demon and the other three's gazes locked onto the identity token on Wutian's waist. Only then did they come to a realization, but they didn't say anything.
However, Wutian clearly noticed that the suspicion in their eyes quickly disappeared, leaving behind only disdain and contempt. This made him even more confused.
Suddenly, his eyes emitted a five-colored light. Since they weren't willing to say, he could only use the Soul Searching Technique to read Wind Demon's memories.
Caught off guard, Wind Demon's soul was easily searched by Wutian. Then, a hint of understanding appeared on his face.
It turned out that Darkness City really did have Restriction Masters, and their levels weren't low!
From Wind Demon's memories, he learned that the four's fathers all had great backgrounds. They were the City Lords of the Fourth City to the First City, and they were all King Level Restriction Masters.
Although Wind Demon's father and Sun Xia's father were both City Lords, the status of the two was not on the same level.
In Darkness City, the City Lords were also divided into high and low ranks. According to the common language here, the Ninth City to the Seventh City were the lowest rank, the Sixth City to the Fourth City were the middle rank, and the Third City to the First City were the high rank. Among them, the First City was the strongest. The reason was the difference in strength between the City Lords.
The Castellan of an inferior city was at the initial stage, and so on. From Wind Demon's memory, his father, who was the Castellan of the First City, was a master at the peak stage. Other than the Castellan of Darkness, the Elder Su, and the Shadow Guard Commander, he was the most powerful existence. In the Dark City, he could cover the sky with one hand.
That was why the other three sons of the city lord listened to Feng Mo.
However, Wutian didn't care about any of that. What he cared about was the old man named Old Su. It was said that this person's attainments in the dao of restrictions were quite profound. The other restriction masters in Darkness City, including Wind Demon and the others' fathers, were all his disciples.
However, this person was just as mysterious as the Dark Castle Master. He would only appear once every hundred years to explain the mysteries of the Restriction Way to his disciples. Each time, he would only stay for an hour. After that, he would disappear without a trace. No one knew where he had gone.
"He only appears once every hundred years. Yet, he is able to teach several King Tier Forbidden Masters. This person should be a Monarch Tier Forbidden Master at the very least. If I can find this person, I might be able to obtain an unexpected harvest," Wutian muttered.
Moreover, Wutian also learned the identities of Wind Demon and the others. They were the famous Shadow Guards of Shadow City. The Shadow Guards' duty was to enforce the law. Anyone who had disloyalty or disrespect to the Dark Castle Master would be hunted down by them.
In other words, they were directly under the Dark Castle Master. Therefore, the Shadow Guards had a very high status in Darkness City. Even the City Lords of the Ninth City had to flatter and curry favor with them.
That was why Wind Demon and the others were so arrogant and disdainful of others.
However, from Wind Demon's memories, these Shadow Guards had never seen the Dark Castle Master's true appearance. Every time, it was the Shadow Guard Commander who gave them orders. Similarly, there was no information about Chi Yanzi.
"It seems that if I want to find Chi Yanzi, I have to find the Dark Castle Master first. But where is the Dark Castle Master hiding?" Wutian was extremely irritated. He glanced at Wind Demon and the others and frowned, "Kill them."
Then, he ignored them and pondered.
Even the Shadow Guards didn't know that Chi Yanzi had entered the Dark City. Needless to say, he must have a direct connection with the Dark City Lord because only he had the ability to let Chi Yanzi enter the Dark City quietly.
However, this person was extremely mysterious. In addition, he wanted to hide. Even if Wutian turned Darkness City upside down, he would not be able to find him.
"Yes, it's him!"
A person suddenly appeared in Wutian's mind. This person was the Shadow Guard Commander. Since this person was delivering orders for the Dark Castle Master, he must be related to the Dark Castle Master. As long as he could establish a relationship with this person, he might be able to obtain some useful information.
In an instant, Wutian had a plan in his mind. He looked up at Wind Demon and the others. They had been tortured to death by Bird Saint and the other beasts and were gradually buried in the snow.
"Let's go! Let's apply for the Shadow Guard position. " Glancing at the blood-colored altar, Wutian smiled at Shi Shi and Feng Lin. He turned around and walked out of the Vast Sea Forest.
"Brother, what is a Shadow Guard?" Shi Shi followed and asked in confusion.
…
The Ninth City of Darkness City. This city had the largest population, accounting for almost 20% of the total population of Darkness City. However, most of them were in the Shedding Body Stage. The Vast Sea Forest was the hunting ground for the residents of the Ninth City.
The Vast Sea Forest covered an area of about 10,000 miles. However, there were no demonic beasts in it, only some wild beasts that had not developed spiritual intelligence.
The combat strength of these wild beasts was at most in the Shedding Body Stage. To Wutian and the others, they were naturally not a threat. In less than two hours, they arrived at the gate of the Ninth City.
A majestic and enormous city gradually entered their eyes. The pitch-black and ice-cold city walls were like a giant python lying on the ground, separating the continent into two different worlds.
"The Ninth City is just so-so. Other than being a little big, there is nothing special about it," Cang Zheng said disdainfully.
When Wutian heard this, he directly ignored it. The Million Jun City was known as the top city in the Zhongyao Continent. Whether it was in terms of grandeur or prosperity, it was far superior to the Ninth City. It could even be said that the two could not be compared at all. Naturally, Cang Zheng would not take a fancy to it.
At this time, Shi Shi asked in confusion, "Brother, didn't you say that you need a recommendation letter from the City Lord to be a Shadow Guard? But we don't know any City Lords here. Where are we going to find one? "
When Wutian heard this, he stopped and turned to look at her with a smile.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face? "Shi Shi felt uncomfortable being stared at and asked suspiciously.
"You are so innocent and cute." Cang Zheng shook his head and explained, "Wutian means that you are now Sun Xia, and Sun Xia's father happens to be the City Lord of the Eighth City. As his daughter, isn't it easy to get a recommendation letter?"
"I see." Shi Shi suddenly understood and smiled sweetly, "Brother, don't worry. I will not let you down and get the recommendation letter."
"But there is only one letter. The three of us are not enough!"
Cang Zheng frowned. Wutian had said before that the Dark City would recruit Shadow Guards once a year, and it was limited to nine places. The City Lords of the nine cities would recommend, but in the end, only three people could become Shadow Guards.
Immediately, as if thinking of something, Cang Zheng said in a deep voice, "You wouldn't want to go alone, right?"
Wutian shook his head and said, "The trip to Shadow City is extremely dangerous. I can't let you take the risk. After getting the recommendation letter, you can either go to the Star Realm, stay in the Eighth City and Ninth City to play, or wait for me at the Blood Altar."
His tone was firm and irrefutable!
Cang Zheng snorted and joked, "I don't care. It's better if you don't go. But this little girl, if you don't appease her well, you may not get your recommendation letter."
Wutian looked over and sure enough, Shi Shi's robes fluttered like a snow lotus as she stood proudly in the snow. Her small face was filled with unwillingness and in her bright and moving eyes, one could clearly see that there was a mist that filled the air.
Seeing this, Wutian felt a headache coming on. In the end, it took a herculean effort and his saliva ran dry to persuade Shi Shi.
"Phew! Let's go! " Wutian secretly sighed and smiled unnaturally. Then, as if worried that Shi Shi would go back on her words, he turned and walked toward the city gate without looking back.
"In this world, only you can make him so embarrassed." Cang Zheng looked deeply at Shi Shi, shook his head, and said something meaningful. Then, he quickly chased after him.
Hearing this, Shi Shi's cheeks suddenly flushed red. She stomped her jade feet and muttered, "I didn't mean to make brother embarrassed. I was just worried about him."
Soon after, she took light steps and slowly followed him. However, there was a thoughtful look in her beautiful eyes.
"Yi!"
At the gate of the Ninth City, a one-eyed city guard cried out in surprise. He patted the shoulders of several other city guards and pointed in front of him, puzzled, "Look over there. Isn't that Protector Li Feng, Protector Yan Kuan, and Miss Sun Xia?"
"It really is them." Another chubby city guard looked over and nodded. Then, he asked in confusion, "That's not right! Aren't they guarding the altar? Why have they come back? "
The one-eyed city guard's face darkened. He knocked the man on the head and shouted, "You're an idiot with a short memory. Three days ago, the three of them had already finished guarding the altar."
"I see."
The slightly plump city guard came to a sudden realization. Soon after, his eyes lit up as he said enviously, "I heard that the people who were sent to guard the altar have a chance to challenge the City Lord and Vice City Lord once the time limit is up. If they succeed this time, they will have a meteoric rise in the future!"
The one-eyed city guard nodded, "That's right! It's said that Protector Li Feng and Protector Yan Kuan's cultivations were already at the initial Divine Transformation stage a hundred years ago. After a hundred years of quiet cultivation, they might have already broken through to the initial Divine Transformation stage. "
"If that's the case, then perhaps the Ninth City will have a new City Lord tomorrow?"
"Don't say anymore. The three lords have arrived. Hurry up and greet them." The other city guards poked the backs of the two men and whispered to remind them.
The one-eyed city guard was stunned. He looked up and saw that the three lords were already within 100 feet of them. He hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said, "Greetings to Protector Li, Protector Yan, and Miss Sun Xia."
"Mm."
Wutian nodded and did not stop. He led Shi Shi and Yan Kuan straight past the city guards and into the city gates. However, he remembered the conversation between the three of them.
As they stepped through the city gates and saw the scene before them, Wutian and the others were stunned. At this moment, they finally understood why the people of the City of Darkness called the Ninth City the lowest level of city.
In this massive city, besides the City Lord's Mansion in the center, there was not a single towering building. There were even many shacks that were built on the ground.
As for the bluestones that paved the streets, they had been eroded by wind and frost for a long time. They had long been worn down and were full of holes. It could be said that this was a pure slum …
