85 Entering the City

"Who is here? What is the purpose of coming to Lion City?" As soon as they approached the grand gate, Long Tian and the others were stopped by guards.

"We are casual cultivators who are practicing here and there. We want to go in and purchase some supplies." Guan Dongzi had already prepared his words.

The guard looked at the three of them. Guandongzi, who looked slovenly, had hidden his cultivation. What he showed to the outside world was the early stage of Jindan. The guard was not as good as Guandongzi and could not see through his true cultivation. Longtian and Qiu Ligao were not able to see through it at all. Worth a second look, he snorted to warn them not to cause trouble, and the guard let them go.

Although it is a large city of monsters, Lion Forest City does not prevent humans from entering. It is a relatively friendly city, and there are even some long-standing human families in the city.

Qiu Ligao was like Grandma Liu when she entered the Grand View Garden and looked around, completely forgetting Long Tian's previous teachings. When you come to a new place, you can't show your naive face, otherwise you will be targeted by people with ill intentions. possible.

Guan Dongzi has been observing Long Tian. At such an age, it is normal for him to behave like Qiu Ligao, but Long Tian is very mature and calm, with a rare temperament and extremely amazing luck.

As soon as they entered the gate, the three of them saw the ancient tree building standing in the distance - the City Lord's Mansion. They did not go there rashly, but pretended to be travelers and approached it while shopping. Guandongzi mentioned before that the foundation of the city lord was unstable. As an outsider, if he went to find the city lord rashly, he might be stopped and taken away for ‘investigation’ without seeing the city lord.

Not long after entering the city, Guan Dongzi left. Long Tian didn't ask where he was going, and took Qiu Li around for more than an hour. Finally, he came to the square only a hundred meters away from the city lord's palace. You can see There were no guards standing guard around the city lord's mansion, only two huge one-eyed tree men standing on both sides, like door gods.

Qiu Ligao has been shocked the most since he entered the city, and has never closed his mouth: "How many years will it take for it to grow into such a towering tree? With one palm, I will definitely not even have any residue left, right?" "

It was also the first time for Long Tian to see the tree people. He asked the old man of the Meteor Immortal about their cultivation level and was surprised to learn that they were at least at the peak of the tenth level of god transformation.

A person at the tenth level of divine transformation is enough to go out and dominate on his own, but being a gatekeeper is overkill. However, Long Tian was relieved again when he thought that the city lord was a cave spirit beast.

"I have already contacted the city lord's subordinates. He will introduce us to the city lord later." Guandongzi reappeared mysteriously and brought back the news.

"Are you sure the other party can trust him?" Long Tian asked.

"He is 100% loyal to the old city lord, and the new city lord is the old city lord's daughter. He has watched her grow up, so it is impossible for him to rebel."

"According to what you said, the other party's status will definitely not be that low. Why did he agree to meet us? You shouldn't have told us about our bargaining chip, right?" Long Tian's bargaining chip refers to the secret realm of Yaobailin pass token.

Guandongzi chuckled: "I know you are cautious, but you are looking down on me too much."

"If you didn't reveal your bargaining chip, what reason did you use to convince the city lord's subordinates? Do you know the other party?"

It's not that Long Tian likes to get to the bottom of things, but that he can't entrust his life safety to someone he doesn't fully know.

"Okay, it's better to explain some things clearly, so as not to make you suspicious." Guandongzi began to transmit the message secretly to avoid being heard by the outside world: "When I was young, I learned some tricks and thought I was traveling all over the world. He was omnipotent, but he became arrogant and fell into trouble. Fortunately, he met the old city lord and saved his life. "

When Guandongzi talked about the past, his cloudy eyes filled with emotion. It was roughly that after being rescued by the old city lord, he owed a huge favor that he could never repay. Today, the old city lord has died and gone to the west, and things are not going well for his daughter when she takes up the position of city lord, so he wants to do his part for her.

"Remember that I was hunted down for 'taking' something, and ended up on your ship, right? That was an object lost by the old city lord. It took me a long time to find its location, and it took a lot of effort to find it. Got it. I wanted to hand it over to the new city lord after I came to Shilin City, but you opened the door and issued the access token..."

Speaking of this, Long Tian has already figured out the cause and effect. A simple summary is that Guan Dongzi wanted to help the new city lord stabilize his position, and when he called the "subordinate" out, he probably only mentioned the old city lord's lost objects.

"Anyway, you don't reveal your access token before you see the city lord. This way, even if that subordinate really rebels, the rebel side won't get too much benefit." Guan Dongzi said again.

Long Tian nodded. From the moment they met until now, although Guan Dongzi has always had a rude attitude, he has never lied. Moreover, he clearly had a perfect opportunity to take the token, but he returned it. There is really no need to go around in circles. Bring them here and murder them.

The three of them waited like this for a long time. As the sun set, a shadow finally approached them.

The visitor is a monster with an elephant head and body. It is tall and tall, more than 4 meters tall. Its two white elephant teeth reflect the light under the setting sun. Monsters with this image are generally swaggering and full of aura. . But the other party was acting cautiously at this moment, wanting to shrink into a ball and reduce his presence, which looked very funny.

"I've been waiting for a long time." The elephant-headed demon clan's eyes did not stay on Long Tian and Qiu Ligao, but stared at Guan Dongzi for a moment: "It turns out it's you, boy. When I received the summons, I thought it was the old man. Who is the old friend of Lord Jin Aoyou, the city lord?”

"Hahaha, I haven't seen you for a long time, Lord Manxiang. I didn't expect you to still remember me." Facing the Elephant Monster Clan, Guan Dongzi did not call himself an old man. After all, he was only one-third of the other party's age at his age.

"It's hard to remember whether you are a kid. You have been clamoring to become Lord Aoyou's subordinate. After being rejected, you made nonsense, saying that you will definitely repay Lord Aoyou in the future." When Manxiang saw Guandongzi, he also fell into memories. That time , is the most glorious time of the old city lord: "The young boy in the past is already old now."

"Time is not forgiving."

After reminiscing, Man Xiang put away his thoughts and his expression became serious: "Let's stop chatting, I will take you to the city lord's mansion now, and you can hand over the things you find to Lord Honglian."

"I understand, but these two little brats are with me. Lord Manxiang, can you..."

Man Xiang then glanced at Long Tian and Qiu Ligao. They were two ordinary human brats. If they were brought into the city lord's mansion, they would definitely be laughed at and teased by those guys if they were discovered.

"Lord Man Xiang, these two are of great use." Guan Dongzi saw Man Xiang's reluctance, so he added.

"What's the use?" The protagonist's aura of wisdom can affect the villains as well as passers-by. Man Xiang doesn't think they can do anything at all.

At this time, the classic incident of improving the protagonist's favor happened. Guandongzi suddenly straightened his chest and his eyes were bright: "I guarantee with my life that they will never let you down, Mr. Manxiang."

When Long Tian heard this, he was very shocked. He didn't expect that Guandongzi would make such a guarantee, and he had a little more trust in this sloppy old man.

Although Man Xiang had not seen Guandongzi for thousands of years, and there was no deep relationship between them, Guandongzi was so steadfast in his vows, and since it was related to the current city lord, Manxiang finally agreed: "These are extraordinary times, you must not Running around. If you are caught with anything and implicate Lord Honglian, I will never let you off lightly."

Qiu Ligao was so frightened that he nodded quickly like a little chicken, while Long Tian responded without saying a word.

Not long after, under the leadership of Man Xiang, the three of them entered the city lord's mansion from the side door.
