The location where Ye Chen is now is the Shenwu City in the True Martial Realm.

This place is much more prosperous than the Nine Star Dragon Domain, and it is no wonder that countless spiritual cultivators want to come to this place to take root.

He walked in the middle of the streets of Shenwu City, lined with shops, the cries of hawkers were endless, they were dressed up like dusty people, who would have thought that they were all strong people in the Jue God Realm?

"Big brother, do you know this place?" he said as he walked the street as he took out a sketch that the sword Qingxiao had made.

It marked the location of the ancient ruins that Jian Xiaoxuan had visited.

The street vendor glanced at him, but did not refuse, but stared at the sketch in his hand carefully.

"I'm sorry, I haven't seen it!" the peddler looked at for a long time, and finally shook his head again.

"Thank you!" he arched his hand, then asked more passers-by.

But no one knows about this place.

"That's not right, the location marked by the deputy alliance leader is obviously near Shenwu City, how can no one know the location of this place?"

He couldn't help but show a look of doubt, and asked for several days in a row, but to no avail.

However, he was not discouraged, after all, Shenwu City was really too big, although it was only a city, it was also half the size of the Nine-Star Dragon Domain.

It is divided into four cities, east, west, north and south, and the locations he has walked through in the past few days are all in the north city.

There are still three cities that I haven't been to before, and maybe I will learn something there.

Half a month later, he walked all the way from Beicheng to Nancheng to inquire about the past.

It wasn't until half a month later that I finally got a little clue.

In the southern city, the owner of a shop told him that the location of this ancient ruin was on a cliff outside the southern city.

However, according to the boss, that place is a forbidden place, and ordinary people don't dare to go there at all, which sounds a bit evil.

"Thank you boss for telling me the truth!"

He finally left the shop with a frown.

"Forbidden land, this may be the reason why Sister Xiaoxuan was robbed, right?"

Jian Xiaoxuan came out to practice, she definitely didn't know that the place she went to was a forbidden place, otherwise she wouldn't have rushed into it.

"Hey, even if it's a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, you have to go!"

He shook his head, feeling helpless, after all, he agreed to Jian Qingxiao's request, if he gave up at this time, it would be too dishonest.

A man who has no faith and cannot stand on his feet, does not want to be such a person.

"Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to the tiger mountains!"

However, he didn't rush to that ancient ruin, but stayed in Nancheng for a few days, during which he refined a lot of pills that could save lives at critical moments.

Since it can be called a forbidden place in the True Martial Realm, there must be something extraordinary, and if you are not fully prepared, this is almost no different from sending you to death.

After the fifth day in the South City, everything was ready, and he headed for the place.

However, just as he left the south gate, he was stopped by a group of guards guarding the city.

"Stop, enter and exit the South City Gate and pay five thousand spirit essence first, otherwise don't pass through here. ”

"Uh~" He was stunned for a moment, and his surprised eyes were fixed on the guard, "It's just a road, five thousand spirit essence, why don't you go and grab it?"

"This is the price of the South City Gate, if you can't get it, take a detour from somewhere else!"

The overweight guard glanced at him with contemptuous eyes, his face full of sarcasm.

Ye Chen thought to himself, who the hell looks down on? I'm also a fourth-grade Dan master, okay, will I lack your five thousand spirit essence?

However, he didn't want to be slaughtered as a wronged leader, isn't it convenient for people to build the city gate? And to charge such a high fee, if it were not for the Danshi, ordinary people would definitely not be able to pay such an expensive toll.

So this also has a phenomenon that causes a lot of people who want to go out of the city to be blocked.

There were even a lot of passers-by beside him, "You guys are too much, aren't you? A few days ago, it was only 2,000 spirit essence, but today it has risen to 5,000? What is the difference between you and blocking the road and robbing the road?"

"Hey, don't say it, these guys are purely lackeys of the City Lord's Mansion, specializing in helping those big people in the City Lord's Mansion collect their wealth, we can only endure it!"

"Silence, don't talk nonsense, be careful that they hear you, beware of arresting you to the city lord's mansion, and then you won't be able to eat and go around." ”

Many people were hiding behind and whispering, and Ye Chen also heard a rough idea from their discussions.

The actions of the guards were undoubtedly to take advantage of the fire, and to put it mildly, they were like bandits.

If he hadn't been in a hurry to get out of the city, he would definitely not be willing to pay the toll of the five thousand spirit essence.

"Boy, do you have any money, if you don't have money, hurry up and flash it to the uncle, don't fucking block the financial road for us!" the fat guard waved his hand impatiently.

"Damn, if it weren't for the master, I would have to beat you lackeys today!"

Thinking like this, he finally reluctantly took out five thousand spirit essence.

"Yo, I don't see it, you kid is still a hidden guy. After the fat guard saw the five thousand spirit essence, both eyes straightened, and the eyeballs almost popped out.

When others saw this, they couldn't help but exclaim, "Hey, this young man is not ordinary, he is young, and he actually carries so much spiritual essence with him." ”

"He can't be the young master of that family, right?"

......

"The spirit essence is given to you, can I go over now?" Ye Chen asked with a cold face.

He must have been very unhappy to hand over the five thousand spirit essence to the fat guard for nothing.

"Hehe, if you are rich, you are the uncle, and the city gate will be open for you at any time!" the fat guard smiled, and quickly moved his fat body to the side and made way for him.

Ye Chen glanced at him with his spare eyes, thinking to himself, this is really a lackey.

"Brother Guard, just let me go!"

"My grandfather is seriously ill, and I'm going to dig herbs outside the city, so you should do it and waive my toll!"

Just as he walked to the city gate, a girl's crying voice suddenly came from behind him.

He quickly turned around and looked back, only to see a girl in a shabby dress kneeling in front of the fat guard, pleading.

She looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, and was very thin, as if a breeze could blow her down.

At this time, her pear blossom was full of tears, and her face was full of tears, and others saw it, and they all felt pity.

However, the fat guard was the only exception, he didn't even bother to take a look, and directly kicked the girl away.

And said angrily: "Where did you come from and beg for food? You can't afford to pay the toll and still want to go out of the city? What kind of place are you and me? Are you a refugee settlement?"

"If everyone is like you, do you still need this duty?"

And after the girl was kicked out, she immediately dragged her delicate body and crawled in front of him.

"Brother Guard, please do good deeds, I will repay you as a cow and a horse!" she cried very sadly, looking grief-stricken.
