Cao Chuan was taken aback by his own thoughts.

But he's just passing by, and even if his guesses are true, no one will necessarily want to believe him.

At this time, Yu Shengnan, who had always liked to "help", walked up to him and persuaded him: "Master Cao, since the two of us are just passing through the Ownerless City, and this matter is not something that the two of us can solve, it is better to have more than one thing, so it is better for us to rush to Tianling Temple as soon as possible." ”

"Wait until we successfully join the Heavenly Spirit Academy, and then tell Elder Wu about this matter, maybe Elder Wu will have a better way at that time?"

What Yu Shengnan said is indeed reasonable, since the two of them are soft-spoken, it is better to tell this matter to Elder Wu, who is high enough in status, I believe that what the Elder of the Inner Gate of the Heavenly Spirit Courtyard said will definitely be taken seriously enough.

So Cao Chuan immediately decided to rush to Tianling Courtyard with Yu Shengnan as fast as possible.

Not only to convey what happened here to Elder Wu, but also to think about his own safety.

However, plans never catch up with change.

Just as Cao Chuan and Yu Shengnan were packing their luggage and preparing to leave the Borderless City, they suddenly heard a piercing sound of gongs and drums outside the window.

The two of them hurried to the window to take a closer look, and then heard a voice shouting, saying that an extremely fierce beast tide had suddenly appeared on the periphery of the borderless city, so in order to protect the borderless city and the residents in the city, I hope that all the monks can go to the north gate tower of the city to fight against the upcoming beast tide together.

"Beast tide? The beast tide in the depths of the desert just ended a few days ago, why did there be another beast tide so soon? And on the outskirts of Borderland? ”

Looking at the monks who rushed towards the north gate tower of the city one by one with swords and sticks, Cao Chuan's face was solemn, he actually thought that the sudden outbreak of this beast tide was simply attracted by the traitor hiding in the Borderless City, in order to take advantage of the fact that more than half of the monks in the Borderland had been killed and wounded, and the internal defense force was empty, and the entire city was taken down in one fell swoop.

"If that's the case, then this beast tide is inevitable..." Cao Chuan wanted to escape from the city like this, but after all, he put down his luggage and joined the team rushing to the north gate tower with Yu Shengnan.

When he arrived at the north gate tower of the city, a phantom suddenly flashed in the Tower of Babel behind him.

Immediately, the ranks of monks on the gatehouse suddenly erupted in cheers.

Looking up, it turned out to be the lord of the borderless city, as well as the eight elders and deacons, all appeared.

"I didn't expect that this beast tide was even alarmed by the city lord, it seems that this beast tide is indeed not good!"

"That's right, this time the beast tide suddenly appeared, presumably we are busy."

Some people sighed that the city lord and the eight elders and deacons who were flying in the sky were still in style, and naturally some people secretly cursed the traitor who backstabbed them in the depths of the desert before.

"If it weren't for that hateful traitor who joined forces with the beast tide to kill so many of our brothers, how would those demon beasts dare to directly invade my borderless city!"

"Traitors are abominable! If I catch him, he will have to taste all the torture in the world, so that he will not be able to die! ”

Cao Chuan followed everyone's eyes and looked ahead.

I saw that the city lord of the ownerless city was already a pale old man, even if he was dressed in a neat blue and gray robe, and his posture was as proud and tall as a young man, he still couldn't compete with the turbidity in his eyes.

The same is true of the eight elders and deacons standing beside the city lord.

But it was precisely when he saw the appearance of the city lord and the eight elders and deacons that Cao Chuan thought of another terrifying possibility.

He hurriedly pulled Yu Shengnan to the corner, and then whispered: "I think I should know what the purpose of the person who betrayed the monk team in the depths of the desert, you look at the city lord of the ownerless city, his eyes have begun to appear dead, presumably if there are some powerful demon beasts today, he will inevitably fall in the big battle, and that traitor will definitely take the opportunity to succeed the city lord." ”

"Gongzi Cao, do you mean to say that the traitor chose to betray in order to sit on the throne of the city lord?" Yu Shengnan was startled and looked nervous.

"Of course it's more than that." Cao Chuan shook his head and continued: "Although the Ownerless City does not have much contact with the Nanli Dynasty or other sect forces, it has also been generally recognized by the Southern Imperial Domain, so it must be difficult for this city to be captured in a short period of time, so it is necessary to use other methods to dismantle this town from the inside. ”

"And if you want to dismantle the borderless city from within, there is only one way to become the lord of the borderless city."

"Then we have to tell the city lord about this, do we know?" The more he listened to Cao Chuan, the more worried Yu Shengnan became.

She was afraid that she would die here with Cao Chuan.

But Cao Chuan still shook his head, then patted her on the shoulder and said, "Since that traitor knows that he may have a chance to become the city lord, he will definitely hide himself very well, so the probability of us finding him is very small, what we have to do is to prepare for both." ”

"Ready?"

"That's right." Handing the Inner Courtyard Disciple Token that Elder Wu had given to him at the beginning, Cao Chuan continued: "If the development of things is beyond our expectations, you can rush to the Heavenly Spirit Courtyard as quickly as possible, hand over the token to Elder Wu, and ask him to come to the Borderless City to help. ”

"But..."

"Say no more!"

Cao Chuan, who rarely put on a serious appearance in front of Yu Shengnan, interrupted Yu Shengnan, who was about to say something, and instead pulled her back to the monk team in front of the gatehouse.

Seeing that Cao Chuan didn't want to say more, he knew that the other party had made up his mind, so Yu Shengnan didn't mention it anymore, but looked around and found that there were actually many monks with a similar realm to them who had also gathered here.

It's just that the number of cultivators whose cultivation realm is above the contemplation realm is very small.

This was strange to both of them.

It wasn't until a formation large enough to encompass the entire borderless city suddenly rose that the two of them suddenly realized who was behind it.

Looking up at the lord of the ownerless city with everyone walking in the sky, Cao Chuan's expression was indifferent.

He was also very surprised, and even a second ago he wondered why it ended like this.

At this time, the city lord of the Borderless City suddenly spoke: "I'm sorry everyone, I don't have much left to live, but I can't break through the shackles and make myself go further, so I can only ask you to do me this favor so that I can live for a while longer." ”

"Covering the sky and the sun, up!"

As the words fell, a boundless black curtain suddenly rose up, enveloping the entire borderless city in an instant.
