Chapter 899 Leaving the City
Not long after, the news that Longqing City was about to open its gates spread throughout Longqing City like a spring breeze.
In an instant, the city seemed to explode. When the people heard this, their faces were full of astonishment at first, and they froze on the spot, their eyes full of disbelief.
In a moment, many people's faces burst into ecstatic smiles.
After all, the opening of this city gate means that they are about to break free from the confinement of this small world and be able to peek into the vast and unknown world outside.
Immediately afterwards, crowds of people rushed toward the city gate like a tide, and everyone wanted to confirm the authenticity of the news with their own eyes.
Sure enough, the guards at the city gate had received strict orders from the city lord's palace and were methodically pushing the city gate, which was extremely heavy and engraved with traces of the vicissitudes of time.
As the city gate slowly opened, a dazzling, sword-like bright light shined straight in, instantly illuminating the faces of those cultivators in front of the city gate who were full of expectation and longing.
Their eyes sparkled with curiosity and yearning for the world outside the city, as if they were about to embark on a thrilling adventure.
However, those powerful family forces with deep roots in Longqing City heard the news.
But instead of rushing out of the city as Lin Xiaoqing and others expected, they gathered together again.
In the spacious meeting hall, the atmosphere was solemn and depressing, and everyone's expressions were uncertain.
Liu Gaoyuan was sitting in the first place with a gloomy expression. He whispered: "The city gate suddenly opened. What is the plan of the city lord's mansion?"
"Hmph! No matter what their ulterior motives are, you and I have now broken through to the realm of distraction, so what do we have to fear in this Longqing City?
Now that the city gate is wide open, this is a God-given opportunity. We must seize the opportunity, otherwise we may regret it later. "
As soon as these words came out, many people nodded in agreement, their eyes shining with greed and ambition, wanting to rush out and take the resources outside the city for themselves.
But some more cautious people still stood up and said worriedly: "Don't act impulsively!
If you think about it carefully, we have been so aggressive in forcing the City Lord's Mansion, but the City Lord's Mansion has always adhered to the bottom line and has never had the slightest intention of relenting.
Now, suddenly, the city gate opens for no reason. There must be a mystery hidden in it. Maybe it is a trap carefully laid out by the city lord's palace, just waiting for us to jump in.
After all, this place is not the Xuantian Continent that we are familiar with. If there is any fatal danger lurking outside the city, wouldn't we be confused and fall into their trap?
Furthermore, we have never been lucky enough to see the true face of the mysterious power who was able to move Longqing City here.
We have no idea what kind of thoughts that powerful person has.
If we rush out of the city to explore like this, if we accidentally violate the taboo of the Almighty, will we make that Almighty unhappy? "
"What are you afraid of!" A middle-aged man with a sinewy face slammed the table and stood up like a ignited powder keg, causing the teacups on the table to buzz.
The muscles all over his body were tense, as if they were made of steel, demonstrating his great strength and firm determination. He shouted loudly: "There are so many of us who are strong in the Distraction Realm here, how can he still kill us all?"
Liu Gaoyuan's eyes flickered and he thought to himself.
It seems that since the spiritual energy of Xuantian Continent surged and they quietly broke through to the distraction state by chance, some people seemed to have started to feel a little drifting.
He was silent for a long time, as if weighing the pros and cons, and then slowly said: "Everyone, please be patient. What the Li family leader said is very reasonable. We really cannot rush out blindly like this.
If the situation outside the city is not what we want, we will undoubtedly be seeking death.
In my opinion, we might as well send some young disciples from the clan out of the city to find out the truth.
Even if these young people are in danger, the losses are still within our tolerance.
Moreover, he can also take this opportunity to test the reaction of the city lord's palace and that powerful man, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. "
After everyone heard Liu Gaoyuan's proposal, they all felt that it was quite feasible and nodded in agreement.
As a result, several families took action quickly and each carefully selected some young children.
Most of these young disciples are at the Nascent Soul Realm, and they are considered to be outstanding talents in the family.
They practice hard every day, and their hearts are full of loyalty to their family and desire for glory.
At this moment, I heard that I was going to go out of the city to explore whether there was any danger outside the city and whether there were any precious cultivation resources distributed.
After all, they were young and energetic, and they were nervous and excited at the same time, as if they were about to embark on an exciting adventure.
However, under the instructions of their family elders to be careful, they still walked towards the city gate with great momentum.
At this time, many people had already gathered at the gate of Longqing City.
They were either in groups and whispering to each other, or they were wandering and hesitating alone, their eyes full of entanglement and struggle, and they were all thinking about whether to go out of the city to find out.
When these young family members appeared majestically, they instantly attracted everyone's attention.
They were uniformly dressed in the exquisitely embroidered costumes of their respective families that showed off their status. Their steps were strong and vigorous, but with a hint of immaturity and eagerness unique to young people.
Seeing this, the group of hesitant cultivators at the city gate automatically made way for them as if they had a tacit understanding.
"Look, those family members are leaving the city. Does that mean it's safe outside?" An ordinary cultivator whispered to his companion.
His companion shook his head, alert: "Who knows? These family members are all cunning and treacherous. Maybe they are using these young people as cannon fodder.
Didn't you see that since the city gate was opened, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion have all quietly evacuated.
And the City Lord's Mansion doesn't seem to have any signs of sending people out of the city.
Let's be careful and wait and see. Don't act rashly."
The members of the Pathfinder Team had high cultivation levels, so they naturally heard these discussions.
They couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, but they didn't stop moving forward.
They walked to the city gate, and the young man in the lead looked firmly outside the city. After taking a deep breath, he took the lead and stepped out of the city gate.
There were also those ordinary immortal cultivators who didn't know how to live or die and were hoping for a lucky break. Seeing someone leading the way out of the city, they seemed to be encouraged and followed the pathfinder team with courage.
They either had a lucky chance and thought that they could find some opportunities outside the city that could change their fate.
Or they were really tired of the monotonous days trapped in the city, and deep in their hearts they were extremely eager for the unknown world outside to bring them a ray of hope to change their fate.
After leaving the city, the scene outside made everyone slightly startled, as if they were cast under a spell of immobilization.
