Chapter 368 City of Hope
The lower world does not refer to the cultivation world where Zhang Ye lived. There are thousands of worlds under the jurisdiction of the heaven. Zhang Ye broke through the void and came to a world agreed with Su Jin. This world is called Zhenwu World, which is one level lower than the heaven, but the cultivation environment is the most similar to the heaven.
Not only Su Jin and Ning Chuxue are waiting for Zhang Ye in this world, but most of the immortals in the heaven have also evacuated to Zhenwu World.
Zhang Ye's mind spread out, his brows slightly frowned, and many black demons have already arrived in this world. Zhang Ye flashed on the spot, and when he appeared again, he came to Su Jin and Ning Chuxue.
"Husband, have you found sister Murong and sister Ling'er?" Su Jin and Ning Chuxue hadn't seen Zhang Ye for several years. After reminiscing about the past, they hurriedly asked.
Zhang Ye was only delayed in the heaven for more than ten days, but several years had passed in the Zhenwu world.
Zhang Ye sighed and shook his head: "I haven't found it yet."
The two women consoled him, saying that the lucky people will have a good day, and there will be a day to meet again in the future. Zhang Ye had no clue, so he had to nod and accept this fact.
Don't think about it for now. Zhang Ye thinks that the Black Demon God has come to the Zhenwu World. Maybe it won't be long before the Zhenwu World will be destroyed. We have to find a truly safe place.
Ning Chuxue suggested: "Why not go to the underworld."
The underworld is at the bottom of all worlds. At present, it should be the safest place.
But if the Black Demon God invades the underworld, there will be no way to retreat.
Seeing that Zhang Ye did not agree, Su Jin pondered for a moment and said: "After the immortals in the heaven retreated to the Zhenwu World, there have been some changes in these times. The City of Hope was built and the Black Demon God was repelled many times. I heard that many immortal emperors were born there. If my husband wants to contribute to the people of the world, why don't we go to the City of Hope to see it?"
Zhang Ye really wants to contribute to the people of the world. After all, if this continues, all worlds will be destroyed sooner or later. Hearing that the people in the heavens built the City of Hope and gave birth to several immortal emperors, Zhang Ye suddenly felt curious.
"It's so rare to have a powerful Immortal Emperor, how come there are so many of them all of a sudden?" Zhang Ye and his wife became Immortal Emperors by chance, others can't be so lucky.
Su Jin replied: "The Black Demon God destroyed the world, but he also brought a special mineral called Black Demon Stone. Wherever the Black Demon God is entrenched, this Black Demon Stone is born. With the help of the Black Demon Stone, the realm of the celestial beings breaks through quickly."
Zhang Ye was amazed. The Black Demon God destroyed the world, but brought hope. Could it be that the truth of misfortune and fortune is interdependent?
Zhang Ye thought for a moment. If there are enough Immortal Emperors in the City of Hope, it is not impossible to resist the Black Demon God. Zhang Ye naturally wants to contribute.
Of course, Zhang Ye doesn't want to show off his courage. He plans to open a shop in the City of Hope to forge spiritual treasures. Using spiritual treasures to help the celestial beings is much more effective than his own simple killing.
Besides, Zhang Ye also wanted to save up 100 million top-grade Dao stones to unlock the forging skills of the Hongmeng treasure. By then, everyone would have one, and killing the Black Demon God would be just like cutting grass.
As for why Zhang Ye didn't ask Ning Chuxue for money, it wasn't because Zhang Ye was embarrassed, but because she, the Lord of the Underworld, didn't have that much money.
Zhang Ye made up his mind and decided to go to the City of Hope to have a look. Su Jin naturally followed his husband and wife and had no objection, but Ning Chuxue was a little hesitant.
"My husband, it's not that I don't want to go with you. Now that the heaven is in such a disaster, the ghosts in the underworld are rampant, and the order is reversed, I need to return to take charge." Ning Chuxue said reluctantly.
If the Six Paths of Reincarnation can work, Ning Chuxue doesn't have to work so hard, but Zhang Ye doesn't know how to forge the Hongmeng treasure yet, and can't transform the Six Paths of Reincarnation. It can only be arranged after some time.
As for why not use it directly? It's because the current Six Paths of Reincarnation still needs to burn souls as power, which Zhang Ye can't accept.
Zhang Ye said, "Then you should be more careful in the underworld. I will come to help you after I have transformed the six reincarnations."
Ning Chuxue bowed and whispered to Su Jin, who blushed immediately.
Zhang Ye has the cultivation of an immortal emperor, and he has heard the two girls' whispers-"Sister Jin'er, I hope you can have a baby next time we meet."
Zhang Ye pretended not to know the two girls' whispers and looked away awkwardly. However, seeing the two girls so close, Zhang Ye was also very relieved.
After Ning Chuxue said goodbye, Zhang Ye took Su Jin's little hand and flew to the city of hope.
……
All the way across, there was scorched earth everywhere, and few people.
Soon, Zhang Ye saw the so-called city of hope. The city walls were very tall, like towering mountains, and the material was solid and difficult to destroy. And the city area was so large that it was like a piece of heaven and earth.
Only immortals have the ability to build such a majestic city.
Zhang Ye was full of hope. When he flew closer, he found that many people had set up tents or simple houses outside the City of Hope, just like a refugee camp.
Zhang Ye asked, "Why don't these people enter the city, but sleep outside?"
Su Jin had never been here, and knew only a little about the things in the City of Hope. He guessed, "Maybe the City of Hope is overcrowded and can't accommodate them."
All the immortals in the heavens have fled to the lower world, so it is reasonable to think so.
The two landed directly at the main gate of the City of Hope. The powerful guards guarded the checkpoints, and the people entering the city lined up in a long queue and entered the city in an orderly manner.
Zhang Ye and Su Jin were not the kind of people who bullied others by relying on their cultivation, so they also lined up at the back of the crowd and entered in an orderly manner.
But when he came to the front position, Zhang Ye discovered that everyone who entered the city needed to pay a certain fee to enter the city, and the fee to enter the city was not cheap. Each person had two low-grade Taoist stones.
Although the low-grade Taoist stone is only a small sum of money for Zhang Ye, it is different for others. At least the immortals below the immortals will never be able to afford the cost of entering the city.
Zhang Ye is not the kind of pity-minded young man who would denounce the unfairness of this system of entry into the city. Because we are now in a time of great chaos, the city's capacity is limited, and only a small number of people can enter the city to receive protection.
This is a helpless move.
Soon it was Zhang Ye's turn, and Zhang Ye handed over four low-grade Taoist stones, which were the entry fees for himself and Su Jin.
The guard took the money and said, "Go in!" He slapped Su Jin on the butt.
Zhang Ye frowned and grabbed the guard's arm with one hand: "What are you doing?"
This guard had bad character. He would inevitably touch a beautiful woman when he saw her. Others were afraid of him and never dared to fight back. He never thought that he would be caught by Zhang Ye, and he immediately became furious.
"Oh, turtle, you dare to attack me, you are impatient, right?" Zhang Ye and Su Jin hid their Immortal Emperor cultivation in order not to attract attention. This guard felt that he was awesome and had no regrets. , but slapped Zhang Ye with a slap from the ear.
Zhang Ye was furious and kicked the guard in the stomach. The guard flew into the city wall like a broken sack, his whole body seemed to be falling apart, and he was wailing and vomiting blood.
Many people whispered, "Well done. This guard bullied people a lot. Finally, someone took care of him."
But some people commented cautiously: "It's heartwarming, but this young couple has provoked the city lord's forces, and I'm afraid it will be bad."
An old man behind Zhang Ye said: "Young man, leave quickly. If you offend these scoundrels, you will be in danger."
Zhang Ye also heard everyone's discussion and said loudly: "This guy wants to belittle my wife, so I punished him. He can stand up to his reasoning wherever he goes. Is it possible that such a huge city cannot survive without the king's law?"
The old man looked at Zhang Ye for a long time and sighed.
When the other guards saw Zhang Ye's attack, they knew they were no match. They checked the injuries of the beaten guards, then immediately crushed the jade slips and called for help.
Not long after, a group of immortals in black armor rumbled in. People lining up to enter the city saw this scene and exclaimed: "It turned out to be the God-Slaying Army!"
The God-Slaying Army was a powerful force that had repeatedly repelled the invasion of the Black Demon God. People dispersed one after another and kept their distance from Zhang Ye.
Several city gate guards immediately stepped forward and made some embellished remarks. The God-Slaying Army drew their weapons and surrounded Zhang Ye with a ferocious look.
"How dare you come to my city of hope to run wild!" The leader, a Xuanxian, shouted loudly, "You will be captured if you don't hold back."
Zhang Ye and Su Jinyi are not afraid of being brave. Zhang Ye said: "Your Excellency is going to take me indiscriminately. Is it possible that the famous City of Hope is so without rules and laws?"
The Xuanxian scolded: "Law? What I say is the law, and anyone who hits me is breaking the law!"
In troubled times, there is indeed no law at all. Might is justice. Xuanxian immediately ordered: "Kill without mercy!" Maybe they wanted to kill Zhang Ye to establish his authority.
There was a ruthless look in Zhang Ye's eyes. At first, he was full of hope for the City of Hope, but the things that happened when he entered the city made Zhang Ye lose his favor and shouted: "Well done!"
Zhang Ye held Su Jin with his left hand and smacked it with his right hand. The power of the Immortal Emperor was overwhelming. The so-called God-Slaying Army was like raindrops, falling to pieces and wailing.
"Your Excellency is actually a powerful Immortal Emperor?" The Xuanxian spat out a mouthful of blood, with some regret in his eyes, and then gritted his teeth and said, "So what, send a signal and call for people!"
One of the men of the God-Slaughter Army crushed the jade slip again. After a while, a figure flashed, and an old woman appeared first. She was the early Immortal Emperor. Immediately afterwards, several more powerful Immortal Emperors appeared.
Su Jin had previously said that there were many powerful Immortal Emperors coming out of the City of Hope. When he saw them today, it turned out to be true.
"Your Excellency, relying on the cultivation of the Immortal Emperor, is too unreasonable to hurt our city defense personnel." The old woman reprimanded.
Zhang Ye sneered: "Who is unreasonable?" Zhang Ye pointed to the injured guard in the corner and continued, "This person intended to belittle my wife, so I punished him slightly, and then beat the younger one, and then he came The God-Slaying Army defeated the God-Slaying Army, and you old ones are here again, please tell me the reason!"
The old woman frowned slightly: "No matter what, it's wrong for you to hurt others!"
"After all, every soldier of our city defense force is protecting the future of the people of the world. If you hurt them, you are encouraging those dark gods!"
A big hat was slapped off, and Zhang Ye finally understood that reasoning with these people was no less than playing the piano to an ox.
Zhang Ye laughed angrily: "Under the guise of resisting the Dark God, can we do whatever we want?"
The old woman did not answer Zhang Ye, but said: "Since you are unwilling to accept the rules, then please never set foot in my city of hope."
Zhang Ye became stubborn: "So what if I have to go to the city?" He did have the confidence to say this now, after all, he still had the only Hongmeng treasure in the world.
The old woman was all an Immortal Emperor, so she thought she was no longer afraid of Zhang Ye, and scolded: "If you want to force your way in, we can only treat you as an enemy like the Black Demon God!"
The war is about to break out.
