Now it seems that the only way to go to the mysterious stone palace is to find a way. But according to what this young man said, if you want to enter the stone palace, you must have a token, and this token is passed down from generation to generation by the city lord's palace. Only contemporary

Only the city lord has it.

Only the current city lord has it. In other words, if you want to enter this mysterious stone palace, you can only go and meet the city lord for a while.

Lying in a pool of blood, the young man's breath was extremely weak, and he had already finished asking questions. Xiao Chen looked at him and said lightly, "I'll give you a ride, so that you don't suffer anymore."

As he spoke, Xiao Chen stabbed the young man's chest directly with the scissors.

Killing the young man without hesitation, Xiao Chen sat on the chair again. Tianyue on the side was not dissatisfied at all with Xiao Chen's actions. Although she was inexperienced in worldly affairs, she was not a soft-hearted person. Previously, she only

It was just that he panicked because of his sudden loss of cultivation.

Killing people is already a common thing for Xiao Chen and Tian Yue, so even if they have no cultivation level, killing such a large number of people will have no impact on them at all.

Seeing that Xiao Chen was deep in thought, Tian Yue whispered, "What do you think the ancestor of the Emperor is trying to do when he established this ninth heaven? What is the purpose?"

Already knowing that the answer lies in the mysterious stone palace, Tianyue doesn't understand what the emperor's purpose is in establishing this ninth heaven.

After hearing what Tianyue said, Xiao Chen said softly, "I seem to understand a little bit."

"Do you understand? Then tell me quickly." Hearing this, Tianyue asked eagerly.

"It's very simple. The emperor established this ninth heaven just to tell future generations that a warrior is strong not just because of his cultivation. Even if he loses his cultivation one day, a warrior should still be strong. His cultivation is what makes a warrior strong.

It is a manifestation of strength, but it is not the foundation of a warrior's strength. As long as you have the will, you can eventually recover even if your cultivation is completely lost."

"That's why the Emperor built the Jiutian City, banned everyone's cultivation, and arranged a city lord's palace. Think about it, suddenly there is no cultivation, and he has to face the pursuit of the city lord's palace.

If someone is not strong, what will happen to him?"

"It's here." After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Tianyue said in a deep voice.

Understood, under Xiao Chen's explanation, Tianyue understood, yes, it's just like him, when he first arrived in Jiutian City, he suddenly lost his cultivation. Tianyue was really panicked at that time, and then he didn't panic at all.

He was caught without any resistance and was taken to the city lord's palace. Just imagine that Xiao Chen was still here. If there was no Xiao Chen this time, what would be his fate? He would definitely be trapped and die in this Jiutian City.

Some were still apprehensive, some were afraid, and some were even more grateful that Xiao Chen was by his side this time.

He unconsciously glanced at Xiao Chen, and at the same time, after Shen Yuan said something, Xiao Chen stood up and said decisively, "Let's do it tonight, so as not to have a long night with too many dreams."

"Tonight? What kind of action?" Hearing this, Tianyue asked doubtfully.

Naturally, this is a move against the city. Now Xiao Chen has rescued Tianyue. Originally, according to Xiao Chen's plan, he only had to rescue Tianyue tonight, which would be considered a success, but now, Xiao Chen changed his mind.

The young man has been killed by himself, and the City Lord will definitely find out tomorrow at the latest. In this case, the guard strength of the City Lord's Mansion will inevitably increase greatly, and it will be difficult to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion again.

Therefore, Xiao Chen plans to take advantage of the situation tonight to take action in those city lords' mansions, find the token to enter the mysterious stone palace, and break through the last level of the sky in one fell swoop.

He told Tianyue his plan and Tianyue had no objection. Afterwards, the two of them cleaned up and walked towards the room where the city lord lived.

Along the way, it was inevitable to encounter patrolling guards. No, as soon as they walked out of the young man's courtyard, Xiao Chen and Tian Yue were stopped.

"Hey, isn't this the newcomer? Where are you taking him?" The leading guard glanced at Tianyue suspiciously, then looked at Xiao Chen and asked coldly.

He had already thought of his words, and when faced with the guard's inquiry, Xiao Chen respectfully said in his heart, "The city lord wants to put this newcomer and this villain to work as ordered."

After hearing Xiao Chen's words, the guard's expression softened a little. Since it was the city lord who wanted to see him, there was no problem.

Moreover, what Xiao Chen said was perfect. After all, if Xiao Chen came to save Tianyue, there was no reason to go straight to the Lord of the City. Wouldn't that be throwing himself into a trap? So, after confirming Xiao Chen's second

The group of guards didn't think much about the fact that they were actually going to the Lord's residence. However, the leader had an extra thought and ordered two of his subordinates to accompany Xiao Chen to the residence of the Lord.

He thought he was smart, but he didn't know that after hearing what he said, Xiao Chen felt so happy. He was about to go to the city lord's residence, but now he was accompanied by two guards, so he would be very safe along the way, even if he met him again.

Don't worry if you get other guards.

The leader readily agreed. Seeing this, the leader's doubts were reduced a lot, and he immediately left with his people.

Accompanied by two guards, they arrived at the city lord's residence without incident. Outside the courtyard gate, the two guards did not go in. Xiao Chen took Tianyue and entered the courtyard in a swaggering manner.

It was already late at night, but the lights were still on in the study. Obviously, the city lord was not asleep yet, and there were two guards guarding the door.

While walking towards the study, Xiao Chen whispered to Tianyue, "One person at a time, we will quickly deal with these two people."

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Tianyue nodded, and soon, the two of them arrived outside the study. Watching the two approaching, one of the guards stopped them and asked.

"Stop, what do you want?"

"My lord, my lord, I..." Hearing this, Xiao Chen bent down to salute, but before he finished speaking, he saw a cold light flashing through, and then, a dagger was stabbed directly into this man.

The guard's heart, at the same time, on the other side, Tianyue also succeeded in a sneak attack and killed another guard.

The two guards outside the door were easily killed. Xiao Chen pushed open the door and strode in.

In the room, the city lord was looking at the materials in his hand, but then the door was suddenly opened. He also looked up and saw a strange young man walking in. The city lord's eyes were full of doubts, but when he looked at Xiao Chen,

He said with a smile on his face.

"Lord City Lord, it's really hard to find you here. There are twists and turns along the way, just like a maze. But I finally see you. There are some things I think we can talk about in person."
