When Ye Wudi led the army to head towards Iron Blood City, Ye Tian was relatively calm.

Xu Qing gets along well with the saint of Zi Mansion. The saint of Zi Mansion is not humane on weekdays, but when treating Xu Qing, it is a little different from others.

Ye Tian has been practicing hard all night, and he has felt pressure these days. His realm is too low. If he could have the cultivation level of high-level Qi Gathering or even the spiritual platform, why would he be so depressed?

However, Ye Tian is not a person who ignores his foundation for his cultivation. He has a building that is so strong that he can start to build up. No matter how fast he practices and how hard he does not need to work, his future achievements will be limited, and he will not be able to survive the test of heaven when he enters the spiritual realm.

Therefore, although Ye Tian is pursuing speed, for him, solid cultivation is the most important thing.

Early the next morning, Ye Tian went to the city lord's mansion alone. Perhaps someone in the mansion had told him that no one stopped Ye Tian.

The mansion of Xuanyang City was a little deserted. I didn’t see many maids along the way, but there were many young practitioners.

Ye Tian was taken outside the city lord's house alone.

Ye Tian looked at the closed door, bowed and said his name.

The door opened automatically, and a young woman was hanging cross-legged inside the house.

Ye Tian looked around and found that there was no one in the room. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Could it be that the woman in front of him was the lord of Xuanyang City?

"You are Ye Tian?" the woman opened her eyes and asked lightly at Ye Tian.

Ye Tian's expression turned solemn when he heard this, he responded with neither humility nor arrogant words: "It's someone."

The woman landed on the ground and sat back on the seat above. At this point, Ye Tian was convinced of the identity of this woman, which surprised him even more.

"I've seen the city lord." Ye Tian bowed his fists again, showing respect to this person.

The woman looked at Ye Tian from a high point and said, "I heard about yesterday's incident. You are very brave."

Ye Tian didn't know what the man said to the city lord yesterday, but when he heard the woman's meaning, he thought he wanted to make things difficult for him. But Ye Tian was not afraid in his heart and stared at the woman's eyes and said, "It's not that he is brave, but that people are trying to bully my friend indiscriminately. Could it be that someone is sitting there and ignoring it? Or, in this Xuanyang City, only state officials are allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light the lights?"

The woman smiled when she heard this, maybe it was intentional or maybe it was intentional, and a trace of pressure fell on Ye Tian.

Ye Tian felt his shoulders sinking and almost couldn't stand firm. But soon, he clenched his fist with his right hand and his breath burst out to resist the pressure.

The woman's eyes lit up, and she began to constantly release her own pressure, and all of them were concentrated towards Ye Tian.

The light in Ye Tian's eyes gradually became brighter, and a strange phenomenon appeared around him. All his strength burst out.

The two of them put pressure on each other and resisted it. After a full half of incense sticks, the woman suddenly withdrew her breath.

"Yes, you do have the capital of arrogance."

She stood up, walked down the steps, came to Ye Tian, ​​and spoke, "You are indeed a rare genius with the cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi gathering. Moreover, I think you seem to be under eighteen years old. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are a monster at this age."

"Thank you for the praise of the city lord, but the monster Ye cannot be regarded as the greatness of the continent. There is heaven beyond the sky and there is no one beyond the human being." Ye Tiandao.

The woman smiled and said, "Don't be humble, but although you have this potential and strength, you need a chance to prove yourself."

Ye Tian felt suspicious and said, "Would the city lord be willing to believe me so easily?"

"So what if I don't believe it? What I need is a person with strength. Loyalty and infidelity and whether I have the qualifications and ability are different. Even if I am not loyal to me, as long as I have the same purpose as me, I can use him. So, I do not believe in you, but in your strength."

The meaning of this sentence is very obvious. Ye Tian was surprised. He didn't expect that this woman had such courage and character. If it were someone else, I was afraid that Ye Tian had already been dealt with, so how could he use him?

"What opportunity?" Ye Tian thought for a while and asked.

The woman walked to the door and said, "Follow me."

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure had disappeared. A golden light flashed in Ye Tian's eyes, and he followed her away.

After leaving the city lord's mansion, he headed all the way to the west.

After flying for a while, the woman stopped. Ye Tian came to her and looked down.

I saw a huge stone tablet below standing in a huge square.

Ye Tian stared at the stone tablet and looked at it carefully, and a look of exclamation appeared in his eyes.

"This stone tablet is an ancient ruin. The specific age cannot be found, and it is even more unknown who has erected it. However, this stone tablet has been protected by a mysterious force since ancient times. It is open every five hundred years. It is a rare and huge opportunity for practitioners. As for the specific opportunities, I cannot say that each has its own opportunities. I only know that the opportunity of this stone tablet is not a physical object, but a training of the martial arts foundation and even the soul power of the practitioners. Moreover, how much it can be obtained depends on the practitioners' own qualifications. Of course, the good and bad fortune depend on each other. Among the practitioners who come here to fight for opportunities, most of the practitioners cannot withstand the test, and in the end they have all their cultivation and fall here. Therefore, there is a rumor, "Not a monster, don't climb the ladder to the heavenly till you don't look for the heavenly stele'. But even so, every time the heavenly stele is opened, countless practitioners are still crazy and flock here."

The woman slowly explained the origin and rumors of the Heavenly Monument and the Ladder, and Ye Tian listened carefully. He now urgently hopes to improve his own strength. Therefore, this Heavenly Monument opportunity is also a great blessing for him.

"What the city lord mean is to let me seize the opportunity of this heavenly monument?"

However, the woman told him about the matter of the Heavenly Monument, which was definitely not purely out of kindness. He did not judge a gentleman by his villain's heart, but since this woman could be the lord of a city, wouldn't she be an idiot? She must be very cunning, and he met this person for the first time today. He didn't believe that this woman just valued his talent and deliberately gave him such opportunities.

Besides, not everyone is qualified to compete for such a great opportunity.

Sure enough, as Ye Tian finished speaking, the woman said, "I can indeed win a place for you. But there is a condition that requires you to agree."

Ye Tian was about to speak, but the woman said first: "Don't rush to refuse, this transaction is beneficial to you and me. I know that you are not simply trying to fight for the country, and you must have other purposes. I don't care what your purpose is, but I know that if you want to achieve your goal, you need my help. At least, you can't stop you."

Ye Tian did not answer, and the woman continued, "And, this heavenly monument is also a great opportunity for you. With your ability, it should not be difficult to climb the seventh level in the middle. I heard that the seventh level in the middle has the magical effect of tempering the soul. I think you should not give up this opportunity."

Ye Tian was silent for a while, thinking for a moment, feeling that this opportunity could not be missed. Moreover, he stared at the stone tablet, and his Buddha's eyes were circling, but he couldn't see through it. This made him feel a vague feeling in his heart that the stone tablet was absolutely extraordinary.

"Condition?" Ye Tian spoke.

The woman knew that Ye Tian almost agreed, and couldn't help but smile.

“The conditions are very simple…”

After a few breaths of secret communication, Ye Tian frowned slightly. The woman's conditions cannot be said to be difficult, but it is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

Or, if someone else is going to refuse.

But for Ye Tian...

"Since the city lord is willing to inform Ye of such a great opportunity, then Ye is naturally willing to help the city lord do something. Ye will do his best in this matter. However, it takes time for my cultivation to reach the sixth level of Qi gathering. If the city lord is willing to wait, I will agree. In addition, the city lord also knows that this matter is not easy, and no one in your country of Qi can solve it. I cannot guarantee that it can be completed. I hope the city lord can understand this."

The woman narrowed her eyes slightly, thought about it in her heart, and finally nodded, "Okay."

After talking about climbing the ladder and looking at the sky monument, the woman did not leave Ye Tian left for too long. Ye Tian returned to the inn early. The saint of the Purple Mansion was a little curious and asked. Ye Tian suddenly remembered that with the saint of the Purple Mansion, perhaps he would have great gains when he went to the sacred place of the Sky monument.

Now he needs a strong helper. The stronger the saint of the Purple Palace, it is also a good thing for him.

"Go to find the city lord again."

Ye Tian said, turned around and went to the city lord's mansion again.

However, this time, Ye Tian paid a considerable price to win a quota for the saint of the Purple Palace. After all, this kind of quota is not a trivial matter, and each one is very precious, and many practitioners may not be able to get it even if they fight for it. Even the lord of Xuanyang City did not have many quotas.

Of course, Ye Tian did not mention these things afterwards, so naturally the Saint of Purple Palace would not know about them.

I went back to the inn again, but Xu Qing was not there.

"She yelled to stay here and be bored and want to go out for a walk."

Ye Tian stood by the window, looking at the street below, feeling a little worried.

"It's a turbulent time now, and the opportunity for the Heavenly Monument is approaching. There are many practitioners in the city. She is an ordinary woman. What should I do if she encounters danger?"

Thinking of this, Ye Tian felt a little irritated.

"What's wrong today, why are we going out for a walk? I can't think of any good idea even if I stay here." Ye Tian said.

The saint of the Purple Mansion originally loved purity, but after hearing Ye Tian's words, he thought about it and nodded.

So the two of them also left the inn.

Wandering on the street, Ye Tian relaxed his perception and was looking for Xu Qing carefully. Yesterday's incident was not small, and Ye Tian was afraid that some people would make some wrong thoughts, which would be detrimental to Xu Qing.

There is a saying that goes, and Ye Tian hopes that this is false for the first time. When they came to an old street, they saw Xu Qing being scolded by the two of them from afar.

She held a kite in her hand, biting her lips lightly, with tears hidden in her eyes, but she didn't say anything, and she didn't even say anything, no matter how the bloated woman on the opposite side scolded her, she didn't respond.

There was a circle of people around her, but no one went up to help her, and they were all watching the fun.

This scene fell in Ye Tian's eyes. Thinking that Xu Qing's parents were not here and were lonely and helpless, a feeling of sympathy arose in his heart.

He quickly walked to the edge of the crowd and used a little magical power. These people couldn't help but make a way out.

Ye Tian came to Xu Qing's side, pulled her behind her to protect her, and looked at the arrogant and domineering middle-aged woman with a little cold look.

"This lady, please scold others for looking at her own appearance before you can. Don't just make jokes on this street or make humiliation."
