Chapter 5 The Land of Exile

The strong man raised his eyebrows, like a blade, and his voice immediately became gloomy and cold: "Boy, if I had changed my temper ten years ago, you would be a dead body now! I'm thinking about your youth and ignorance, I'll give you another chance. If you dare to say a word again, I promise you won't see the sun tomorrow!"

"I'm..."

Lei Luo wanted to say something else, but Daoyuan reached out to stop him and said to the strong man: "I don't know how much the two brothers need to pay."

"Each person has fifty taels, a total of one hundred taels."

After hearing what Daoyuan said, the strong man smiled at the sky. His two men also looked lustful, as if they had expected the final result.

"Boss, do you really want to give it?"

The so-called "Shancai" is hard to give up. It is because someone asked for money for no reason. Lei Luo naturally dissatisfied, but when he saw Daoyuan nodded in agreement. Although he was unwilling, he still took out a hundred taels of silver and handed it to the strong man angrily.

"You know your appearance!" The strong man snorted coldly, threw an iron card over and said, "At a young age, don't be a good deed of a wealthy miser. This silver is not for nothing. If someone in the city causes trouble for you, even if you show this card, you can keep everything safe. Just remember to return it to the gatekeeper when you leave. Now, you can leave."

After saying that, he took his men and left with great strides.

Looking at the backs of the three of them, Lei Luo had already cursed in his heart.

"Okay, the so-called strong dragons do not suppress local snakes. If we are in a foreign land, we should act as losing money and avoid disasters. Moreover, if we delay here, we will be afraid that we will miss our itinerary. Don't lose the big ones because of small things, let's go." Daoyuan persuaded and turned around and walked away.

"I don't feel sorry for silver, but I can't see them doing this!" Lei Luo looked at the sign over and over again and said depressedly: "I have grown up so old, and I haven't heard of any rules that I have to pay for entering the city! One hundred taels of silver are exchanged for such a piece of scrap iron. These guys are too dark. It's really not a thing!"

Daoyuan took the iron plate and saw a pattern of auspicious clouds engraved on the front. Apart from this, there was no explanation. He pondered: "I think this iron plate is something proof, something similar to amulets. Judging from the situation here, if what the person said was true, it might really block us a lot of trouble."

"We won't solve the problem ourselves if we have trouble? We want those grandchildren to meddle in other people's business?! I think they just want to take the opportunity to make money."

Daoyuan frowned slightly, not saying anything.

After a while, the two of them came to a restaurant that was not big or small. Just as they were about to enter the door, they saw one of them coming later. When they saw them, they shouted: "Boy, go away quickly, don't block the uncle's way."

Lei Luo was already angry, so he didn't care about his words. He still walked in without any intention of avoiding them.

The man saw that the two of them turned a deaf ear to their words, and couldn't help but be furious and stepped forward to stop him and said, "You are deaf, and you dare not listen to what I say!"

Lei Luo said indifferently: "Who are you? You have to come first and then arrive in line to shit. Why do we have to give way? Are you still unreasonable?"

This was originally a place to eat, but this guy used this metaphor. Daoyuan suddenly felt a black line and sighed helplessly.

"Reason? My sword is the reason!" The man's face changed, he immediately pulled out his weapon and pointed at the two of them: "I will use it to reason with you!"

Lei Luo was also furious, his mind moved, and the Soul-Breaking Spear appeared instantly, shouting: "I really think we are soft persimmons! Just hit me, I'm afraid you won't succeed!"

When the man saw it, he knew that there must be treasures like space storage on him, and his eyes suddenly showed a look of greed. Just as he was about to take action, he caught a glimpse of the iron card in Daoyuan's hand. His expression stagnated. He withdrew his sword in disappointment and said unwillingly: "It turns out that you have cloud cards in your hand, no wonder you are so arrogant! Humph, you are lucky!" He threw down this sentence and turned around and left hurriedly.

Lei Luo withdrew his posture, looked at his back as he was leaving, and whispered: "This grandson pretends to be like this!"

Daoyuan saw everything and said with some clarity: "This man is not bad, we may not be able to beat him. I think the reason why he retreated was probably because he was afraid of this iron card."

Lei Luo scratched his head: "It's really the case?"

With doubts, the two of them came to the table and sat down. After the food they ordered was served, Lei Luo grabbed the waiter and asked, "My man, what's the situation here? Not only did you ask for money when you go to the city, but you were so arrogant that you were like 250,000 or 80,000. We are just here for the first time, please give me an explanation."

As the saying goes, when you enter the door, you will be a guest. If you open the door to do business, you will naturally be kind and wealthy. When the waiter saw the customer ask, he said with a smile on his face: "As soon as he saw the two young men, I knew that the two must not be local people. You don't know that there is another name in our lockdown city, called the Exile Land!"

"Oh? What is the place of exile?" Lei Luo immediately became interested when he heard this.

The waiter said: "As the name suggests, all the people here are exiled. However, this exile is not forcibly committed by others, but voluntarily. The vast majority of people here are exiled by themselves. If they want to go out, they must pass the test of three life and death levels, otherwise they will not leave one step for life. Otherwise, they will be ordered to be chased by the city lord, and they will eventually be dead."

"What do you mean is that the people here are forced to do it with no choice?" Daoyuan looked around and felt extremely strange.

The waiter nodded: "Young Master guessed it well. These people are all casual cultivators who have no good tempers. They immediately draw their swords at each other when they have disagreements. Everyone has taken many lives and is chased by enemies. If they are not able to survive outside, they will want to come here unless they are brain-disordered!"

"Will their enemies chase after them here?"

"Haha, you don't know anything about this. Anyone who is willing to exile himself can register in the city and tell everything, then he will receive protection from the city lord. Of course, he must also abide by the rules set by the city lord. Whose strength can compete with the power of a city? If there is really, then these people will have already died and have a chance to come here?"

"So that's how it is." Daoyuan raised the iron card in his hand: "I just heard someone say that this thing is called a cloud card. What is the function of it?"

The waiter smiled and said, "I guess you have already paid 100 taels of silver."

Lei Luo slapped the table, still angry: "This thing is neither gold nor jade, nor is it precious to refine materials, why is it worth 100 taels of silver! It's simply outrageous!"

"Young Master is wrong!"

"Wrong?"

"Well, if the two are confident that their cultivation is high and they can look down on everything, then this iron card is naturally useless..." The waiter looked at them and smiled and said, "Please forgive me for saying frankly. I think the two are young and even if they are not strong enough, they cannot stop those desperate people. There are really some powerful characters among them, so this iron card is still very useful to the two. It is a talisman for outsiders here. As long as this thing is in hand, it will not be bullied by others. Because this cloud card was created by the city lord himself and is specially designed to protect past guests. The situation here is openly peaceful, but it is very complicated in secret. Unless a real strong person, it will inevitably be troubled and will be worried about life."

"So, although I spent some money, I got a piece of peace, which is worth it."

At this moment, more and more diners came to eat. The waiter didn't bother to talk about it. After rushing to bring the meals for the two, he went to greet the other guests.

Fortunately, you can not only eat, but also stay overnight. Considering that Lei Luo is really tired these days and his injury has not healed yet, Daoyuan decided to stay for two days so that he will nourish his spirits.

In just two days, the two of them saw more than a dozen bloody fights, and the reason was simply a trivial matter of sesame and mung beans. One of them was that someone even looked at each other more and caused a fierce fight.

What puzzled them was that the lockdown actually ignored this. Every time, the soldiers came to the bottom of the battle, so they were lazy and cleaned up the mess.

"What an evil ominous place!" Lei Luo said with a pout.
