The young man followed the crowd towards the city gate.

City gate.

Two Taoist priests, surrounded by soldiers, observed the people entering the city.

"Civilians go directly to the city! Those who are proficient in martial arts register here, receive money, food, soldiers, armor, cards in the city, and preferential treatment."

A soldier shouted loudly.

These soldiers looked nervous and held a kind of dharma plate, aiming it at every common person.

The Dharma plate kept making "buzz" and "buzz" sounds.

Whenever the dharma plate was sounded, the soldiers would get out of the way and let the people in front of them enter the city.

——It seems to be a way to identify combat effectiveness.

The old man's words echoed in my ears again:

"Remember, you must enter the city as a practitioner to have a chance to get close to the second card."

"Why?" asked myself.

"Because the second card is hidden in a place that is inaccessible to civilians. Only those with a certain status can access it," the old man said.

"Don't you know how to tell fortunes? Why don't you just tell me?"

"Bah, the secret must not be leaked. Once I really calculate the whereabouts of that card, the robbery demon will definitely have a way to find out."

"Okay, I'm going - is there anything else you want to say to me?" I finally asked.

The old man showed a solemn expression:

"When you go there, you are likely to run into tribulation demons. Be careful, otherwise you will easily fall into a situation that will never be recovered."

"Why did you encounter them?"

"Because they are also looking for that card, and they already know that it is the last hope for all living beings."

Buzz buzz——

A strong chirping sounded from the formation disk, interrupting Wu Xiaode's thoughts.

The soldiers held up the array plates and all looked towards Wu Xiaode.

I saw this young man wearing a moon-white robe, with a sword on his waist, an orchid in his hair, and a cynical look on his face.

In troubled times, this kind of behavior naturally attracts attention.

A Taoist priest took two steps forward, raised his hands and asked:

"I wonder who you are?"

"I am Shen Yuan," Wu Xiaode said with a smile, "I wonder if I can enter the city."

——The name of Wanjie Sword Saint Li Chengfeng is too loud, so it is better to cover it up a little, so as not to cause a sensation and attract the attention of the tribulation demons.

"Shen Yuan? I don't know how strong he is. How about you give me a try?" the Taoist asked.

"Okay." Wu Xiaode smiled.

"please."

The Taoist priest made a hand gesture, and as soon as the technique moved, ice suddenly appeared all around.

Wu Xiaode walked with the knife in his hand, took a few steps, and swung the knife in front of him.

Clang!

The light of the sword flashed like snow, like a dream.

"Concession."

Wu Xiaode said.

The Taoist priest was startled, and when he looked down, he discovered that there was a neat break in his sleeves.

"Good sword skills!"

Another Taoist priest praised him, stepped forward respectfully, and presented a waist badge with both hands.

Wu Xiaode took the badge and saw one word written on it:

"Class A."

Grade A, it should be pretty good.

"Your Excellency, please enter the city with this card and report to the city lord's palace. Someone will arrange everything for you. Please!" The Taoist priest made way.

"Thank you, then I will enter the city first."

Wu Xiaode cupped his hands towards the two of them, and Shi Shiran walked towards the city gate.

Soldiers on both sides of the city gate stood in awe. It was not until he entered the city that they relaxed and shouted loudly at the ordinary people who entered the city.

Wu Xiaode didn't care about this, and walked straight through the city for a while, then suddenly turned into a secluded alley.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, his body was filled with glazed flames, blocking all exploration, and then he spoke:

"There is a swordsman from the north, known as Crazy Sword Shen Yuan. He has a clean family background, a thorough foundation, and is trustworthy. He can be treated as one of the most powerful masters in the city."

An invisible wave emanated from him.

In an instant, lines of small ice crystal characters appeared in the void:

"You borrowed the destiny skill: Existence from Shen Xiujun."

"The skill has been cast."

"The identity you speak of will exist directly in the world, with detailed roots."

"——In the matter of identity, what you say will be known to people, and people will think that these are already known."

Wu Xiaode looked at these prompts with satisfaction and nodded slightly.

Before coming, I deliberately eliminated all the luck points, and then asked Odvia to help provide soul power, and activated a judgment seal spell.

Shen Xiujun is naturally willing to help.

She slapped herself.

I got this extremely useful skill from her.

In this way——

You should be able to find that card with peace of mind.

Wu Xiaode calmed down slightly, dispersed from the "City that Never Sleeps", walked out of the alley, and walked towards the city lord's mansion in a swaggering manner.

Along the way, pedestrians were hurrying, and there was a sense of panic in the air.

——After all, news about the Qilin Massacre has already been reported.

Demons and evil spirits are born one after another.

Even ordinary people know that the days ahead are extremely dangerous.

Wu Xiaode heard someone whispering that there were no survivors in several villages outside the city.

He also said that evil dragons appeared on the river dozens of miles away and ate a boatload of people on the spot. Now the ferry has stopped.

Wu Xiaode listened all the way and felt that the world was completely in chaos.

Fortunately, the awakened people in this world each have their own abilities——

He turned to look at the food store on the roadside and saw a sign on the door saying:

"One penny and ten catties of poor grain."

"One hundred cents and five pounds of five types of coarse grains."

"Three taels of rice and three catties of silver."

"For one pound of spiritual rice, you need to pay twenty taels of gold."

"All food is available in unlimited quantities."

The crowds of people watching at the door were talking a lot, saying that the Taoist priests had magic techniques to cultivate the land and ripen it very quickly, so everyone didn't have to worry about starving to death, but they were afraid of monsters coming.

Wu Xiaode looked around.

Although there was an atmosphere of panic and uneasiness in the air, the entire city was in order.

The food supply is stable and the price is reasonable, which really plays a big role.

Wu Xiaode walked and looked around, and soon came to the city lord's mansion.

After showing his "A" waist badge, he was invited in and waited in a side hall.

——It is said that the city lord will come to see him in person soon.

So grand?

Wu Xiaode simply crossed his legs, sat on the chair and waited calmly.

Soon.

A warrior came in with tea.

"Lord Sword Saint!"

The man lost his voice.

Wu Xiaode was slightly surprised.

A line of small words in ice crystals appeared in front of him:
