Chapter 20

Wudao Xian Tian is the second major realm of martial arts after the ninth level of body tempering! Generally speaking, as long as one can cultivate to the seventh level of body tempering, the Bone Marrow Cleansing stage, they already have the qualifications to challenge the Wudao Xian Tian realm!

To challenge Wudao Xian Tian, besides needing good fortune, one also needs cultivation techniques and spiritual formulas! Generally, the higher the level of the cultivation technique or spiritual formula, the greater the chance of successfully challenging Wudao Xian Tian! And the legendary先天圣殿 (Xian Tian Holy Hall) of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which once flourished countless years ago, had a legacy that could greatly increase the success rate of challenging Wudao Xian Tian. This is also why Su Yu was so interested in their legacy.

However, the ruins of the Xian Tian Holy Hall are so well-known in the Great Zhou Dynasty that even forces outside the Great Zhou Dynasty have often set their sights on the Xian Tian Holy Hall. Therefore, when Ye Zhong and Su Yu appeared in Green Mountain Town five days later, Ye Zhong's expression was still relatively normal, but Su Yu's face was full of helplessness.

Green Mountain Town, though named a town, was as large as a city. Ye Zhong and Su Yu stood not far from the city gate, gazing at the green stone walls, both of them squinting their eyes. At the entrance to the city gate, many powerful individuals could be seen entering in groups, and even large groups of people quickly squeezed into Green Mountain Town. For a moment, the city, which was not insignificant in the Southern Border, was bustling with people.

"It seems our beautiful wish has come to nothing," Ye Zhong sighed after a moment, though he had been mentally prepared for this.

Su Yu, on the other hand, took out the map in her hand with a hateful expression, glanced at it a few times, and then gritted her teeth and said, "That old Li ghost really tricked me!"

Hearing this, Ye Zhong chuckled lightly, because he could see that many of the people entering Green Mountain Town were holding maps almost identical to Su Yu's. At this moment, the map that Su Yu treasured so much seemed somewhat ridiculous.

Seeing Su Yu about to lose her temper, Ye Zhong sighed and said, "Even so, this map might not be fake. Do we want to go in and investigate, or should we just turn back?"

Hearing this, Su Yu hesitated for a moment before softly said, "Just as you said before, no matter what, finding an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos is always right. If we leave now, those 50,000 spirit points will probably have nothing to do with us! Besides, with so many people attracted this time, it's likely that our Star Constellation Sect will also send other disciples. If it really doesn't work out, we can cooperate."

"As long as my benefits are guaranteed, cooperation is fine with me," Ye Zhong shrugged.

"Since that's the case, let's go in," Su Yu patted Ye Zhong's shoulder and then walked ahead. Seeing Su Yu's expression, Ye Zhong could only sigh and follow slowly.

As the two of them approached the city gate, they became extremely noticeable. Of course, this had nothing to do with Ye Zhong. Almost all the gazes on the way were on Su Yu, and their eyes flashed with admiration. It had to be admitted that Su Yu's appearance was extremely ethereal, and apart from Ye Zhong, few people could resist such alluring charm.

After a few more steps, the two had already reached the entrance to the city gate. However, just as they were about to enter, Ye Zhong frowned slightly.

Inside the dark gate, seven people were standing or sitting, their gazes greedily fixed on the people about to enter Green Mountain Town.

"Hand over 500 low-grade spirit stones, and you can enter Green Mountain Town," one of the men grinned when he saw someone about to enter the city.

At this moment, a group of three people were entering Green Mountain Town. The leader hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not want to cause unnecessary trouble here. He paid the spirit stones and entered the city.

"They are probably local thugs; there's no need to cause trouble here," Su Yu also saw this scene, but she now understood Ye Zhong's character a bit. She was really afraid that Ye Zhong would blink and exterminate these people.

However, Su Yu had misjudged Ye Zhong. Ye Zhong was not the type to act rashly. If others did not provoke him, he would not provoke them. But if someone was blind, then he could not be blamed.

After giving Su Yu a faint glance, Ye Zhong nodded without explaining anything.

The two slowly walked into the city gate. Before the men could speak, Su Yu had already thrown a spatial ring, and then she left with Ye Zhong.

"Wait!" The man who caught the spatial ring casually glanced inside and then his gaze fell on Su Yu's beautiful face and alluring figure, his eyes flashing with heat.

Ye Zhong frowned slightly but did not say much.

"Is there something else? The spirit stones inside should be more than a thousand, right?" Su Yu turned back and said coolly.

"Hehehe, of course we know these spirit stones are more than a thousand," the man holding the spatial ring slowly stood up from a wooden chair, leaned close to Su Yu, took a deep breath, and then said with a blissful expression, "But I've changed my mind! Each of you needs to pay 500 medium-grade spirit stones, remember, medium-grade... Of course, if this little lady stays to play with us for a few days, there's no need to pay!"

Hearing this, Su Yu's face showed a charming smile, stunningly beautiful, almost making the man lose his soul.

After smiling, she said coolly, "Raising the price arbitrarily and targeting only us two, that's not very good, is it?"

"Not very good! Hahaha—" The man laughed, his gaze sweeping around. Although many people were watching, no one was willing to cause trouble at this moment.

"Boy! Get lost! This has nothing to do with you!" The man's gaze fell on Ye Zhong, and he said coldly.

"Are you sure that paying the spirit stones will let us pass?" But at this moment, Ye Zhong seemed not to notice the man speaking to him and instead looked at Su Yu and said coolly.

"It seems that even paying won't let us pass," Su Yu said with a resentful expression. This time, they had a bad start, even getting into trouble at the city gate.

"Then let's just go in," Ye Zhong said coolly and turned to walk into the city, clearly not taking those few gatekeepers seriously.

"Little brother Ye Zhong, you have to protect me!" Su Yu pitifully grabbed Ye Zhong's sleeve, clearly seeing that Ye Zhong was preparing to let her handle these troubles herself. After all, these people were only at the second level of body tempering, and even if they all attacked, they wouldn't be enough for Su Yu.

"1000 spirit points!" Ye Zhong turned back and smiled slyly.

"500!" Su Yu gritted her teeth and glared at this guy taking advantage of the situation. She wanted to handle it herself, but her methods were not as clean and efficient as Ye Zhong's. It was better for Ye Zhong to handle this situation, as it would be more impactful.

"Deal!" Ye Zhong nodded. Originally, these people did not deserve death, but what they were trying to do had crossed his line. Moreover, solving these scoundrels for 500 spirit points was a good deal.

"Boy, if you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave later!" The man who spoke first sneered. In his view, Ye Zhong and this alluring woman were probably young masters and misses who had eloped from some small family. He had seen many such people, all of whom thought highly of themselves but were actually quite ordinary. He believed that as long as he used a bit of force, these two would submit, and they could have a good time tonight!

"Slap—"

As he spoke, the man slapped towards Ye Zhong.

But as his palm came down, Ye Zhong's right foot swung out like a dragon's tail, striking his face hard.

A crisp sound echoed, and the man was instantly thrown out, his head hitting the city wall. He didn't even groan before collapsing on the ground. Before the others behind him could react, Ye Zhong had already kicked out, knocking out the two closest men.

Ye Zhong knocked out three people with one move, and as he landed, he stomped his foot and simultaneously struck the throats of the two men rushing at him with his elbows. Both men made strange sounds and then collapsed.

The last two men reacted at the same time, but they were now terrified and did not rush forward. Instead, they turned and fled into the city.

Ye Zhong frowned, casually smashing a wooden chair with his right foot, and then kicked two pieces of broken wood like arrows, hitting the backs of the two fleeing men. Both men staggered and then collapsed, blood gushing out.

"Too heavy-handed!" Originally, Ye Zhong did not intend to kill, but he did not expect that the two who fled were only at the first level of body tempering.

After a brief hesitation, Ye Zhong flipped his hand, and a green steel long sword appeared in his palm. With a few casual swings, he finished off the few who were still alive.

Putting away the sword, Ye Zhong glanced at Su Yu, who was staring in shock, and then took out his spirit point card and threw it to her.

Su Yu, speechless, transferred 500 spirit points to Ye Zhong and then frowned, "Let's go quickly. These people who dare to charge at the city gate are probably not simple. You really went too far this time."

Ye Zhong shrugged. Originally, he did not plan to kill, but since two were already dead, it was better to finish them all.

Many people inside and outside the city gate watched the two figures quickly disappear into the city streets, all of them stunned. That boy's methods were too ruthless! Seven strong men, and not one could withstand a single move!
