Chapter 2523 The goal is getting closer, but also getting harder!
"What did you say?!"
Hearing Lili's words, Ling Tian's face suddenly changed, and Lin Qi beside him quickly stood up and walked over.
The familiar name of the city, Licheng, which he had been looking for, was mentioned at this time. No matter how much Ling Tian wanted to stay calm, he could not suppress the excitement in his heart.
It was just because he had been in Weicheng for too long that he still didn't know any information about the passage.
The most important thing is that Ling Tian knows that the longer he delays here, the more he will not know what will happen when he returns to his own world after arriving in the central city.
So in order to prevent accidents, he wanted to go back early and rush to the central city. However, he couldn't find the passage. After finally getting some news about Licheng, he discovered that the city no longer existed.
But he never expected that in this small village, the so-called village chief's wife would casually mention Licheng, whom she had been looking for. This made Ling Tian unable to remain calm.
The same was true for Lin Qi. He knew the importance of the passage to Ling Tian, so he quickly moved forward just to find out whether this city was the Licheng they were looking for.
The two people's slightly excited appearance frightened Lili so much that she stood up. Then she stared at them blankly and said, "What... is wrong with you? Why are you... did I say something wrong?"
Noticing the hint of fear in Lili's eyes, Ling Tian took a deep breath, forced a smile, and then shook his head. "No, you didn't say anything wrong. On the contrary, you did provide some very useful information. Could you please explain this matter to us in detail?"
"It's about Licheng. To be honest, we came here just for Licheng, but we haven't had any useful information. When we heard you mention it, we had such a strange reaction. So, can you tell us more about it?"
Ling Tian spoke seriously, on the one hand, to let Lili not think too much, and on the other hand, to tell her how important Licheng was to the two of them, so that she would not hide anything and tell him what she knew.
In this regard, Lili was originally the wife of the village chief. If she didn't have some discernment, she wouldn't be able to marry the village chief. So she saw that the two people were really interested in Licheng, and nodded: "I understand. Actually, I don't know much, but I will tell you."
After she finished speaking, she sat down again and thought seriously for a moment before she said softly, "Regarding Licheng, actually, no one in our Tiantian Village has ever been there. On the one hand, it's because of the distance, and on the other hand, it's because Licheng has a strict hierarchy and we can't get there."
"According to the information we know, to enter the city, you either need an invitation from someone in the city, or you must be extremely powerful. I think it's... the Unity Realm, or something else, I forgot. Only then can you enter."
Just as Lili was about to continue speaking, Yuzhe on the bed spoke in an extremely weak voice, "You must be at least in the middle stage of the Unity Realm. Otherwise, you are not allowed to enter the city. Anyone who tries to force their way in will be killed by the city's guardians."
Noticing that Yuzhe seemed to know more, Ling Tian turned and looked over: "Village Chief, do you know the history of Licheng? According to our understanding, this city has been abandoned, right? Could it be... that this has been fake news all along?"
"It has indeed been abandoned." Yuzhe nodded. "I heard the previous village chief mention it. Two hundred years ago, a powerful man came and not only eliminated all nearby dangers, but also recaptured many small villages. Finally, Licheng was able to regain its glory."
"But unfortunately, when everyone discovered that this city lord had lived for three hundred years, they were helpless. After all, everyone with a discerning eye knew that this city lord was a demon beast, and an extremely powerful demon beast, invincible!"
Yuzhe's words made Ling Tian frown slightly and fall into deep thought.
It seems that the danger that Jiujiu mentioned at that time was the current lord of Licheng?
If this is true, then the Lord of Licheng should just be a peak-level demon beast. Why would Jiujiu be so frightened?
Is there something else that I haven't discovered?
Ling Tian thought for a moment, then looked at Yuzhe and said, "Village Chief, if we want to enter Licheng, can we? He and I are both above the Unity Realm, so we meet the requirements."
Hearing this, Yuzhe was not surprised. He probably had already sensed the two people's realm and knew that they were above the village chief.
Instead, Lili looked at the two of them with a little embarrassment, obviously feeling embarrassed about showing off and explaining the warrior matters to them before.
Ling Tian didn't care about this. At this moment, he just wanted to know whether Licheng was the city he knew.
If it is really the city he knows, then the passage must be in Licheng.
However, could he be a match for a peak-level demon beast that could even frighten Jiujiu so much?
Thinking of this, Ling Tian felt more and more that this trip to Licheng would not be so smooth. If his guess was correct, the final outcome would definitely be that he would be discovered by the Lord of Licheng and the token in his hand would be taken away.
Therefore, before entering the city, you must hide the token and find a reasonable identity for yourself.
Only after they have considered all the bad consequences and prepared countermeasures, can they go to this city to take a look.
After all, the peak-level monster beast is a real strong one, so you must be extremely careful.
Ling Tian thought for a while before looking at Yuzhe: "So, can we go in?"
"Yes." Yuzhe nodded. "I can recommend you to go in, but you have to wait until my injuries recover, so you may need to stay in the village for a few days. Also... I advise you to find a better identity for yourself. They will definitely investigate."
"By then, if you have even the slightest clue from the outside world, the city lord will directly order your execution. There will be no room for negotiation."
Ling Tian was slightly stunned when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "What does the village chief mean by the outside world?"
"Outside the Holy Mountain? Don't think I can't tell. You must have come from inside the Holy Mountain, right? There aren't any cities inside the Holy Mountain, so... you must have come from outside the Holy Mountain. And the City Lord hates all creatures from outside the Holy Mountain, so..."
Yuzhe didn't continue speaking, but Lingtian had already reacted and nodded slightly.
It seems... this matter is much more difficult than I imagined. This is normal. If everything goes well, then rushing to the central city will not seem so precious.
After making his decision, Ling Tian looked at Yu Zhe and nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to the village chief. We'll wait for you to recover!"
