Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist
Chapter 129 The Mysterious Old Man in the City Lord's Mansion
Three days passed quickly. The two were so excited that they didn't sleep all night and had packed their luggage by early morning.
People gradually started moving around downstairs, and the place became bustling. It seemed that some people were waiting for the teleportation array to open.
Gu Yang took Hu Qing downstairs to check out. After the shopkeeper counted the room fee, he happily congratulated the two of them:
"Sir, are you going to take the teleportation array? I wish you a safe journey. When you return, please stay at our hotel again. We will serve you good food and wine!"
"Okay, thank you, boss."
Gu Yang bowed and took Hu Qing to the City Lord's Mansion. They knew the general location, but Hantian City was too big and they didn't know if they could find it.
"Let's follow those people! They should also be going to teleport."
After Hu Qing came out, he hid inside Gu Yang's body. Today would probably be very chaotic, with all kinds of people, so it would be better to hide.
Gu Yang looked in the direction of Hu Qing's finger. There was a group of young men in white and green shirts. There were more than ten of them in total, all wearing the same clothes. It seemed that they were from the same sect.
This is indeed a good idea. They may not know it, but others do.
The two followed these young men, and after many twists and turns, they finally arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
The gate of the City Lord's Mansion stands majestically, with two stone lions majestically guarding on both sides, like silent guards suppressing evil.
The sunlight slanted down from the high courtyard wall, dividing the square inside the gate into two distinct worlds of light and dark.
The crowd in the square was bustling but orderly. There were railings around it, and it seemed that this should be the entrance for queuing and teleportation.
The two walked into the door and stood behind the queue waiting while looking around.
The final destination of this team was a small courtyard on the right. Looking over there, as far as the eye could see, there was a sea of heads.
They tried to peek into a corner of the mysterious courtyard through the gaps in the crowd, but their view was always blocked by the constantly moving figures.
Four middle-aged men in black robes stood above the yard, each occupying a corner. It seemed that they were all masters in the Nascent Soul stage.
From time to time, a brilliant blue light flashed across the courtyard wall, arousing the curiosity of the two.
In the center of the square, there is a wide staircase like a ladder to heaven, leading directly to the main gate of the main mansion. The mansion standing high above is like a symbol of power, making people look up to it.
Teams of black-armored guards walked out of the main residence, in groups of five, and patrolled the square.
These guards were dressed in uniform black armor, with steady steps and sharp eyes.
The strength of the guards should not be underestimated. Every one of them is in the Foundation Establishment Stage, without exception.
The two looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
"These people must have killed many people. I just passed by them and the smell of blood on their bodies almost suffocated me." Hu Qing said with a palpitating heart as he looked in the direction where a team of guards left.
"As expected of the City Lord's Mansion, it's incredibly powerful. I feel like it's already surpassing the Royal Palace of Haitian City."
Gu Yang was also looking around. He rarely saw such a grand scene.
As the team slowly moved forward, the two arrived at the foot of the stairs.
They looked up and saw that at the end of the stairs, the gate of the City Lord's Mansion was closed. The two heavy wooden doors were carved with complex runes and emitted a faint light.
Two burly guards stood in front of the door. They were too far away to see their faces, but their aura was very strong, so strong that it was a little oppressive.
The two continued to move forward with the team, moving little by little, and in less than an hour, they arrived at the gate of the mysterious courtyard.
After the person in front disappeared behind the door, the guard at the door stood in front of the door, blocking the way. It seemed that they had to go in one by one.
Gu Yang looked inside out of curiosity, but could only see a blue halo and nothing else.
The two waited quietly. After a moment, the badges of the two guards lit up and they stood aside, revealing the gate.
Gu Yang gently touched the barrier, and a cool and soft texture came out from his fingertips. He stepped in with Hu Qing, as if they had entered another world, and the noise from the outside world stopped abruptly.
In the small courtyard, a bluestone-paved path winds to the center, with neatly trimmed flowers and trees on both sides, and the air is filled with a faint floral fragrance.
On one side of the courtyard, there is an antique wooden table, behind which sits an old man with white hair and beard.
He was not tall and looked very thin under his wide robe, giving people an unfathomable feeling.
In front of the old man were some simple tea sets. He was concentrating on making tea, his movements slow and graceful.
"Senior, we are going to Tianyi Sect. This is the fee for using the teleportation array."
Gu Yang stepped forward and respectfully handed over a top-grade spirit stone.
The old man put down the teapot in his hand, waved his hand to signal Gu Yang to come closer, then grabbed his wrist with one hand and slid his index finger across it.
Gu Yang was shocked, thinking that the old man was a pervert, and quickly pulled his hand back, but the old man's strength was so great that he held on tightly and could not be pulled away at all.
Hu Qing didn't dare to act rashly in his dantian. Just now, a mysterious spiritual sense swept over his body. It was obviously done by this old man.
"Why are you so anxious? I'm just curious. Your Dantian is destroyed, and you're still thinking about going to Tianyi Sect? Now is not the time for them to recruit disciples, right?"
The old man loosened his hand and fiddled with his teapot again, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Senior, I have my own way to get in, so you don't have to worry about that. Can I use the teleportation array now?"
Gu Yang didn't dare to get entangled with the old man at all, feeling that he had no privacy in front of him.
"No." The old man said calmly, then picked up the teacup and drank tea.
"Why? I've already paid the money." Gu Yang was a little angry, thinking that the old man was deliberately making things difficult for him.
The old man put down his teacup, stretched out his index finger, shook it twice in the air, and said, "Not enough, not enough. You have to pay another high-grade spirit stone."
He then added, "Others only need one, but you are different. You need two."
Gu Yang and Hu Qing were both shocked. They didn't expect that the old man could actually see through it. They had no choice but to put another high-grade spirit stone on the table.
The old man laughed heartily, waved his sleeves, took away the two top-grade spirit stones, and then pushed out a cup of tea.
"In acknowledgment of your rudeness just now, you must drink this cup of tea."
Gu Yang looked at the emerald green tea in the cup, his Adam's apple rolled, he swallowed and said:
"Can I not drink? I just want to be teleported to Tianyi Sect."
"Hmph, no, you can't leave if you don't drink today." The old man snorted twice and blocked the space around Gu Yang to prevent him from escaping.
Gu Yang looked at the tea in front of him and drank it all in one gulp under Hu Qing's worried gaze.
The green light instantly swept over his body, turning him into a little green man.
