The golden beast was also unknown what kind of strange species, compared to a large elephant, it was several times larger, and its length was similar to that of a lion. Its whole body emitted dazzling light. The Golden Beast had the ability to tread on clouds and fly above the cloud layer, like a golden light.

  In just a short three hours, I traversed 90,000 miles and once again descended upon the City of Eternal Darkness.

  The golden beast's golden light illuminated half of the dark city, like a brilliant lamp. The whole city was shocked at the first moment, and many people knew that the owner of this beast was the ninth son of the Golden Family. Now, the beast was actually driven by another person, and many people had some guesses.

  Someone gazed up at the sky, trembling with fear: "He's back again, and he actually escaped from being surrounded and killed by over a dozen top masters of the Martial Arts Ranking. He even took away the Golden Beast of Ninth Young Master Huang."

  The streets of Youjin City, Hua Er Lou looked up at the sky with a smile on his face: "The next generation's master of Youjin City is born!"

  A middle-aged man's cold hum came from a palace in the Golden Family, then he let out a thunderous roar: "Anyone who dares to kill me, the Golden Family, must die."

  A deafening roar echoed throughout the entire city, shattering the cloud layers in the night sky. A gigantic golden palm descended from the heavens, intent on killing Guo Yao.

  At this moment, a 100-meter-long sword light shot out from the direction of the city master's mansion, tearing through the night sky like a long dragon shattering the huge golden palm in the sky. A cold voice came from the city master's mansion: "I said that anyone who dares to take action among the older generation will be killed by me, and even if you are the master of the Golden World family, there is no exception."

  A crimson iron sword flew out of the castle, transforming into a roaring long dragon. The sword flew towards the massive palace of the Golden Family, and a deafening roar echoed from within the palace.

  "Ah... Lord of the City, I was wrong..."

  The master of the Huang Jin family let out a miserable cry that echoed through the sky, then fell silent and turned into a lifeless corpse. The next moment, the iron sword dripped with blood, flew out of the palace, and plunged back into the city lord's mansion.

  In the castle, Ji You Ran's face was as cold as frost, her skin as white as condensed fat, and her red clothes were bright and dripping with blood. She held a long sword stained with blood and stood proudly, across the distant night sky, she said to Guo Yao: "Come quickly to see me."

  Guo Yi was shocked by Ji You Ran's sudden display of strength. He had thought that his current abilities were already quite strong, but compared to this woman, he seemed to be still far behind. The master of a generation of immortal families was killed off by her with ease, and the other members of the family didn't even dare to make a sound. She was just too overbearing.

  Guo Yi rode a golden-colored strange beast, transforming into a golden rainbow, rushing towards the city master's mansion, passing directly from the top of the cold pool, then dismounting the golden strange beast and walking into the black and deep palace in the center of the cold pool.

  This is a palace entirely made of cast iron, every column and every tile as black as can be, shining with metallic luster in the moonlight.

  The entire palace has only one huge gate and nine cold iron windows, which doesn't look like a palace at all, but rather a massive iron prison.

  All the way into the palace, only one old woman guarding the gate was seen, and no other figure could be seen. This old woman was dressed in simple clothes, with a hunched back, and had already stepped half of her foot into the coffin, as if a gust of wind could blow her down.

  Entering the main hall of the city master's mansion, Ji You Ran was already waiting there. The main hall is over 100 meters long and 40 meters wide, empty and desolate, with only a single iron phoenix chair on the high platform.

  The princess sat on the high iron phoenix chair like a queen, still holding an iron sword in her hand, wearing a bright red dress.

  "I pay my respects to the lord of the city." Guo Yi slightly bowed his head, but did not kneel down before her.

  Ji Yu Ran looked like she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, with an absolutely beautiful face that seemed to have never smiled before, her icy expression said: "You've already obtained the Wu Bang branding, do you have a ranking?"

  "One hundred and fourth."

  The girl nodded slightly and muttered to herself: "The ranking is a bit lower, but there's still room for improvement. It seems that I can send you and her to that place."

  Guo Yixin's heart skipped a beat as he asked, "Who is she?"

  "Swallow's tears." Ji You continued, "The simultaneous appearance of two geniuses with rankings on the 'Martial Chart' in the Secluded City is a rare stroke of luck that may not be encountered for tens of thousands of years. I hope this time you two will have better luck."

  Guo Yi didn't understand the meaning of Ji You Ran's words, but saw a beautiful girl like a celestial being slowly walking in from outside the palace. The woman had a gentle demeanor and agile movements, and before she even approached, a faint fragrance wafted to his nostrils.

  This girl was different from the cold and elegant Ji. She had a faint, ethereal quality to her, as if she were shrouded in a layer of mist, making it impossible to discern her true appearance no matter how hard one looked. Yet, the vague outline of her features filled one's imagination with fantasies.

  The girl was half a head shorter than Guo Yi, standing shoulder to shoulder on his left side, like a pair of loving couples. Yan Hong tears slightly bowed to Ji You Ran: "Have met the city master."

  Guo Yi swallowed hard, his eyes fixed on Yan Hong, and a wicked thought flashed through his mind. He couldn't help but think that she was truly a beauty to behold! Just one glance at her made his heart beat faster, and an inexplicable excitement rose up in him, like a burning fireball that refused to be extinguished.

  Guo Yi really wanted to see her stunning beauty clearly, but unfortunately, he couldn't conjure up an image in his mind, as if it was shrouded by a layer of mist.

  The lady gave Guo Yi a cold, stern glance, her mouth watering at the sight of him, and said: "Yan Honglei's ranking on the 'Wu Bang' is far higher than yours. From now on, she will be your senior sister."

  "It's okay, sister you're good!" Guo Yao's eyes were wide with excitement, as if possessed by Hua Er Lou, staring at Yan Hong's clothes as if he wanted to see through them.

  Yan Hong's face was expressionless, completely ignoring Guo Yi, and said to Ji You Ran: "Isn't the City Master only accepting one disciple? Why are you taking both of us at the same time?"

  "Ah, I'm just helping someone else take you two as disciples," Ji You Ruan said. "That person's cultivation is a hundred times higher than mine, whether or not you can become their disciple still depends on your performance."

  Is this person already an immortal or what? The master of the Sealed Castle is at least a hundred times stronger than him.

  "I will take you to a place where it will be your new battlefield, the entire ancient Xuan domain's vast world, all the geniuses who entered the 'Martial Rankings' will go to that place, where you will see the top ten absolute geniuses of the 'Martial Rankings', and they will be your opponents."

  "Where?"

  "Martial Alliance."

  Yan Honglei seemed to have heard the name, her crystal-like lips opening and closing faintly: "Legend has it that Wu Meng absorbs fresh blood every fifty years, and each time no more than ten people can enter Wu Meng. These people are all top figures on the 'Wu Bang'."

  The lady said, "Wu Meng is one of the top powers in the ancient Xuan domain's great world. The possibility of you entering Wu Meng is almost zero. I'm taking you there just to let you see how strong a true genius can be. If you perform well, even if you can't enter Wu Meng, you might still be taken as a disciple by one of the high-ranking individuals in Wu Meng, and become an outer branch of Wu Meng."

  "Is the master you found for us a person from Wu Meng?" asked Guo Yi.

  "Indeed he is a person from the Martial Alliance. If you can persuade him to be your master, even if you don't enter the Martial Alliance, your future prospects will still be boundless."

  "How long has it been since we went to Wu Meng?" Guo Yi asked.

  "Tomorrow at noon."

  Guo Ye and Yan Hong left the City Master's Mansion, while Ji You Ran seemed to have something else to do before leaving, telling them to go to the City Master's Mansion again tomorrow.

  "Yan Shijie, I'll treat you to dinner, otherwise... hey, don't go..."

  Yan Honglei's impression of Guo Ye seemed to be not very good, from start to finish he didn't even give him a glance, after leaving the city lord's mansion, he rode on a strange bird and flew away.

  Guo Yi didn't lose heart, after all, there's still a long way to go, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Since Ji You Ran dared to help that person collect disciples ahead of time, she must have been able to let the two of them smoothly become his disciples. Although he didn't know what method she used, Guo Yi had already decided on this cheap master sister Yan Hong Lei.

  Hua Er Lou was like a fat ball, waving his hand at Guo Yao from afar, with a sly face: "Boss, how did I just see the number one beauty of our prison city walking side by side with you?"

  "Secret." Guo Yi didn't want others to know about the miserable scene where Yan Da Mei ignored him, so he said: "Right, dead fatty, you're carrying such a big burden, where are you going?"

  Hua Er Lou drove an ancient car, with a large package on his back that was bigger than his body. He seemed to be embarking on a long journey and sighed, saying: "Several old ancestors said I have a business mind, gave me a package of money, and asked me to take charge of the business on the south ridge side. You say it's easy for me?"

  In the southern part of the ancient Xuanwu world, there are 72 giant mountain ranges, each stretching for tens of millions of miles. The Youling Mountains are one of them. However, these 72 mountain ranges are just the 72 branches of the Nanling Mountains, which can be said to run through the entire southern part of the ancient Xuanwu world.

  The Youling Mountains have a vast territory of 780 million miles, with numerous Xianmen strongholds like the Youjin City, as many as the stars in the sky. The vastness of the Nanling is dozens of times that of the Youling Mountains, and it is located at the center of the 72 mountain ranges, where there are even more Xianmen sects, and powerful cultivators can often be seen.

  Nanling is the most prosperous place in the southern part of ancient Xuanwei.

  Kuo Yi looked at Hua Er Lou in surprise and said: "Your family also has business in Nanling? Your family's business is indeed far-reaching."

  Hua's second floor couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If it weren't for several old ancestors guarding the ancestral house, I'm afraid my family would have moved from Youyin City to Nanling long ago. Never mind, if we don't leave now, we won't make it to Gu Xian Du Kou tonight."

  "It's hard to know when we'll meet again after this farewell, so may you have a smooth journey."

  Hua Erlou drove the long carriage and disappeared beyond the horizon, Guo Yi looked at the desolate city, thinking that tomorrow he would also leave this place, and didn't know when he could come back.

  Before leaving, Guo Yi wanted to go to the Li family in Nantian first to find Li Yuan. He wanted to know what had happened five years ago and whether Li Xiaoyan was alive or dead.

  But when he arrived at the South Tian Shi family, a martial saint told him that Li Yuan had hastily left the Divine Guard Army three days ago and never came back.

  "Wasn't it three days ago that I was taken away by a mysterious white skeleton carriage?"

  Back in the isolated city, Guo Yi had already heard about what happened after his battle with Yan Que. He was also suspicious of the identity of the mysterious master of the white bone ghost carriage, and why he brought him to Changguo Country, 90,000 miles away. Was it on the way? Or intentional?

  Who is behind all this and what for? Guo Yi felt that he had inadvertently become involved in a huge event, and this matter must have an inseparable relationship with Li Yuan's siblings.

  Guo Yan wandered the streets of the isolated city, his mind filled with questions. This was a dead end unless he found Li Yuan and his sister; otherwise, no one could untie it.

  That night, in the depths of the secluded city, a shocking sound came from the direction of the lord's mansion. Someone saw countless ancient castles and palaces appearing above the secluded city, and on top of a desolate mountain in the center, there was an old temple that was about to collapse.

  A black palace made of refined iron, has taken in all the scenes in the sky, like a huge cage suppressing everything.

  The black palace was unable to calm down for a long time, and the intense shaking lasted for nearly an hour before slowly subsiding. At this time, all the monks in the entire Sealed City were shocked to discover that the spiritual energy of the Sealed City had suddenly doubled in density.

  No one knew what had just happened, but everyone knew that from tonight onwards, the Sealed City would become a true Holy City of Cultivation.

  Only Guo Yiruo was deep in thought, seemingly understanding something. He smiled slightly towards the direction of the city lord's mansion: "The ancient city of the Ghostly Mountains has many secrets, why did the old monk Bodhi choose to preach in the Secluded City? Is there a huge secret hidden within the Secluded City itself? One day I will return to uncover the secrets of the Secluded City.
