A devil's self-redemption

A majestic giant city, the city wall alone is hundreds of feet high. The mottled marks on the city wall and the wounds left by countless sword and magic attacks prove that this city wall has gone through countless hardships.

There is a heavily armed soldier standing guard at regular intervals on the horsewalk above the city wall. Each of these soldiers has firm eyes, scanning the crowds entering and leaving the city like hawks.

A young man in a green shirt jumped off the flying boat and walked towards the city gate. He was looking around with curiosity, and it seemed like he had never seen anything about the world.

This person is none other than Luo Lai. He has been away from Lichen Sect for a month. He has not stopped at all along the way. He has been rushing frantically. Even when he encountered some small cities, he did not go in to repair them until he arrived at the huge city in front of him.

The day after he left the Lichen Sect, he recognized the Pure Heart Bead and refined it. What Luo Lai didn't expect was that the moment the Pure Heart Bead entered his mind, the originally silent black stone statue suddenly burst into light. , attracting the Qingxin Pearl to float towards it.

The moment before the Qingxin Pearl approached the head of the stone statue, it suddenly turned into two in a trance, and then each one sank into the dark eye sockets of the stone statue!

This series of changes happened in an instant, and by the time Luo Lai reacted and wanted to stop it, it was already too late.

As soon as the eyes of the black stone statue were closed, they returned to their original appearance, but instead of being blind with their eyes open before, they were now blind with their eyes closed!

Luo Lai's scalp felt numb for a while. What would he do without the Qingxin Pearl? His negative emotions would explode in less than half a month. He didn't know yet what emotions would explode this time. If it was lust, he would be exposed to the public. Next...he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

He subconsciously took out the sound transmission jade tablet given by his master Song He and was about to tell Ancestor Su about the trouble he encountered. However, after a while, he forced himself to calm down and carefully analyzed the whole story.

The black stone statue needs the Pure Heart Bead, and the function of the Pure Heart Bead may not necessarily be destroyed by the black stone statue. It is possible that the Pure Heart Bead was originally part of the black stone statue, and it can still maintain such abnormal abilities after being separated from the main body. Then after returning to the main body, The ability should be strengthened.

Thinking of this, Luo Lai put away the sound transmission jade tablet, and his mental power was revealed again through the black stone statue. It was obviously stronger than before. In other words, the Qingxin Pearl did enhance the function of the black stone statue, but he didn't know Does the black stone statue enhance Qingxin Pearl?

Then he continued to move towards the location marked on the map. Until the fourteenth day, he had a premonition that his negative emotions were about to explode, so he controlled the airship to fly quickly into a deep mountain and arranged the surrounding areas. After setting up a small defensive formation, they quietly waited for the arrival of negative emotions.

Half a day later, he suddenly fell into a trance. When his consciousness was about to be covered by an inexplicable force, the black stone statue in the sea of ​​​​consciousness suddenly opened its eyes. The Qingxin beads in the eyes gave out a weak suction, and the inexplicable energy seemed to Being quickly sucked into the bead like a nemesis, Luo Lai felt his mind clear. Although the inexplicable energy was still being generated continuously, it could not keep up with the speed of absorption of the Qingxin Bead.

This process lasted for half an hour before the inexplicable energy stopped being generated. After Qingxin Pearl lost its target, it also regained its composure, and the black stone statue closed its eyes again.

"Huh!" Luo Lai took a deep breath. Fortunately, the Qingxin Bead was useful, and the effect was extremely good. It did not affect his normal actions at all, otherwise he would be in trouble.

Then Luo Lai started on the road again, his goal was this huge city in front of him!

The reason why we stayed here was because the map given by Ancestor Su indicated that there was a large teleportation circle in this giant city, which could greatly shorten the journey to the destination.

After seeing the map, Luo Lai finally had a rough understanding of the current practice world he was in. The Lichen Sect is located at the southernmost end of the Gaotian Cloud Domain in the northeastern part of the practice world. To the south is the boundless Canglan Sea, and the huge city in front of it is the closest city to the Lichen Sect with a large teleportation array. It's called Cloud City.

Luo Lai stood in front of the huge city gate and was really shocked when he saw the towering city walls. In the past, he had only heard Dafu talk about the small Anxiong City. He originally thought he was bragging. After seeing this cloud city, he also I feel deeply that compared with Yuncheng, Anxiong City can really only be called a small Anxiong City!

After paying ten junior spiritual crystals as the entrance fee, Luo Lai successfully entered Yuncheng. After asking about the location of the teleportation array, he walked towards the location of the teleportation array without any delay.

However, after he walked for an hour, he was confused. Yuncheng was too big and couldn't fly in the air, so he got lost. He had no choice but to ask for directions again. This time he learned the lesson wisely. In such a big city, if flying is not allowed, there will definitely be transportation! Sure enough, under the guidance of the locals, he came to a location similar to a bus stop, where many people were already waiting. He stood behind the crowd and waited quietly.

A quarter of an hour later, with a low-pitched roar, a dark monster with two forked horns on its head fell from the sky. This monster was similar to a moose, but three to five times larger than a moose, and it had no hair on its body. , but dark scales, exuding a cold light in the sun.

Luo Lai saw that the monster beast was tied with a rope and connected to a huge carriage behind him. He couldn't see clearly what was going on inside the carriage. When the carriage stopped and the door opened, many people got out of the car and left, talking and laughing. Some people who got on the bus also entered the carriage with calm expressions after paying fifty spiritual crystals to the driver. The driver did not ask about the destination, and the people who entered the carriage did not say anything. It was the same for several people in a row, and Luo Lai understood. , these fifty spiritual crystals are the fare. No matter where you go, as long as you get on the bus, you will have these fifty spiritual crystals, and you can sit there anytime.

After everyone got on the carriage, Luo Lai also paid fifty spirit crystals and walked into the carriage. There were no seats like chairs or stools in the carriage, but futons one by one. There were many seats. Even if there were already people in the carriage, More than a hundred people have arrived, but there are still more than half empty seats. Luo Lai found a corner and sat cross-legged, then he felt the car shake, slowly started, and drove forward. Through the window of the car, Luo Lai saw that the car was gradually floating as it was traveling rapidly. It only stopped when it rose to about thirty feet above the ground. At this time, the carriage was traveling at a speed that was almost close to the speed of the flying boat!

This discovery surprised Luo Lai. The speed was too fast. Luo Lai soon noticed something unusual. He was sitting on the futon without any pushing feeling, as if he was sitting in a still room. The scene outside the window that swept back quickly told him that the carriage was not only moving, but also moving. In rapidity.

After seeing the situation clearly, Luo Lai sighed, it's really high-tech!

Just as he was admiring the rapidly receding scenery outside, a young man in simple clothes came to Luo Lai and asked cautiously: "Brother, do you need a guide? I am a native of Yuncheng, all streets I know the location of the store and the store, and I also know the mansions of some important people! As long as you hire me, it only costs one hundred spiritual crystals a day!"

Luo Lai looked at the eleven or twelve-year-old boy in front of him in surprise. His clothes did not fit well, but they were very clean. He looked at the crowd around him and saw that they were still talking and laughing to each other, and did not look at himself and himself. This young man realized that such things should be common.

Then he said to the young man: "No need, I'm just using the teleportation array here and will leave soon!"

The young man glanced at Luo Lai curiously and said doubtfully: "Don't you know that the teleportation array in the city has been closed?"

Luo Lai's expression changed and he asked hurriedly: "It's closed? What's going on?"

"Uh! It seems that you really don't know. It's like this. An hour ago, there was news that the monsters from the Beiming Demon Realm came to invade Yun City again. The city lord ordered all teleportation arrays to be closed, and all the monks who entered Yun City were You must obey orders unconditionally.”

Luo Lai was stunned for a while. An hour ago? Couldn't it be that something like this happened right after he entered Cloud City? What a bad luck!

"Wait until I go to the teleportation array to take a look. If what you say is true, I will hire you as a guide. If I find that you are deceiving me..." Luo Lai's face flashed with anger and he did not say any more.

The young man was startled by the expression on Luo Lai's face and quickly lowered his head, but after a moment he raised his head again and gritted his teeth and said, "I won't lie!"

"I hope so!"

Then Luo Lai stopped talking and looked out the window quietly. Only then did he realize that there was not just one such carriage floating in the sky, but dozens of them, flying in different directions. They seemed chaotic, but they were It was very orderly, but those carriages were passing by so fast that it was impossible to see the people inside.

A quarter of an hour later, the speed of the carriage began to slow down and the height slowly dropped. Luo Lai knew that he had arrived.

The young man stood up and said, "Brother, outside is the teleportation square. You can look here, or you can go down below to see if what I said is true!"

Luo Lai looked out from the window. There was a high platform in the middle of a huge square. The high platform was empty at this time, but there were people under the high platform and on the square. Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, his expressions were so excited that he could tell. I know it's not a good thing!

"That high platform is the location of the teleportation array. You see, the array above has been closed and no one is allowed to enter!" explained the young man next to him.

At this time, people in the carriage also looked outside and started talking: "What's going on? Why is the teleportation array closed?"

"Hahaha! Your information is too limited. More than an hour ago, the city lord received a secret report that a monster was about to attack Yun City. The city lord immediately ordered the teleportation array to be closed and issued an order to prepare the monks in the city to fight at any time. Prepare."

Someone shouted in fright: "Monster beasts are attacking the city? Is it a tide of beasts?"

"It's not a tide of beasts, it's not a tide of beasts. Don't panic, everyone. Didn't you see that I'm just asking everyone to be prepared? If it's a tide of beasts, monks above Soaring Cloud Realm will be immediately recruited to the city wall!"

"Oh! That's okay. As long as it's not a tide of beasts and the city lord is here, any monsters attacking the city will be a minor problem!"

"That's right! The Lord of the City is so cultivated that a little monster comes to attack the city. How is it different from seeking death!"

......

After Luo Lai listened to their discussion, he turned to the young man and asked: "Who is the Lord of the City in their mouth? Is he very powerful?"

"Sure enough, I read it right. Brother, this is your first time coming to Yuncheng. The Lord of the City is named Feng Yehong! Legend has it that he is already a super strong man in the Immortal Realm! As long as the Lord of the City is here, what kind of monsters will come? They all have to die!" The young man looked respectful and proud, with a little bit of yearning! It was as if he felt honored to speak the city lord's name.

"So awesome!" Luo Lai looked at the somewhat absent-minded young man and said something unconsciously.

The young man came back to his senses, lowered his head in embarrassment, and whispered: "When I succeed in cultivation, will I sign up to join the city guard army? Then I can fight side by side with the city lord!"

"Well, come on!" Luo Lai said encouragingly. This young man had not even reached the Li Mortal Realm. When he entered the city, he saw that the guards at the city gate were at least Soaring Cloud Realm monks. He wanted to join them, and finally At least I have to practice for a few more years!

Luo Lai didn't get out of the car, but patted the young man on the shoulder and asked, "What's your name?"

The young man said with some restraint: "My name is Bao Tiancheng, and my nickname is Baozi. I grew up in Yuncheng since I was a child!"

Luo Lai burst into laughter: "What a good name, you will be my guide from now on! My surname is Luo, and now I need to find a place to stay. It doesn't need to be good, but it must be quiet!"

When Baozi heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, "Don't worry, Brother Luo, you will be satisfied with my service package!"

When Luo Lai saw Baozi, he had no intention of taking him out of the car, so he just sat in the car and didn't move.

After a while, the car started slowly again, and this time the carriage flew for half an hour. After stopping again, Baozi took Luo Lai out of the carriage.

As soon as Luo Lai got off the car, he realized something was wrong. The flow of people here was obviously much smaller, and most of the buildings were in dilapidated condition. It would be no exaggeration to say that they were in ruins. You can even see the shadow of a weasel.

He looked at the young man Baozi doubtfully. Baozi lowered his head and said sheepishly: "This is what I found according to your request. It's not too good, but it's absolutely quiet!"

Luo Lai rolled his eyes: "You think it's not a good name? It's called rags, but quiet is really quiet, not just quiet. If it's any quieter, it's uninhabited!"

Baozi murmured: "How about I find another place for you?"

Luo Lai took a deep breath and shook his head: "Forget it, let's just stay here! You lead the way!"

Hearing Luo Lai's answer, Baozi's face immediately filled with excitement, "Brother Luo, come with me. I'm telling you, don't look at the shabby places here. If you search carefully, you can still find a lot of comfortable ones." For the room!”
