White Paper Xiancheng.

Miserable green flames burned fiercely on the huge paper person statue near the South Gate.

Someone cast a spell, urging water waves to surge, wanting to extinguish the fire.

But the waves rolled down, and the green fire suddenly changed, turning into yellow flames, continuing to burn, and with the help of the power of the waves, the fire grew several times stronger!

Unlike Ning Zhuo looked from afar and saw this scene, and thought to himself: "This fire has some tricks; it seems it can borrow the water element and turn it into the fire element. If I can observe it in battle, I might be able to identify what kind of method it is."

Unlike Ning Zhuo's Five Elements realm was very profound, and he himself knew many ways to borrow water to increase fire.

Whether it was the same as the method he mastered or not, Unlike Ning Zhuo was confident that as long as he observed it up close, he would be able to see the tricks inside and would definitely be able to master it.

But soon, the water waves dissipated, almost completely fueling the fire.

Yellow-green flames shrouded the entire statue, and the latter collapsed with a bang. The remains fell to the ground, triggering tremors on the ground, as well as the surging of air waves and smoke.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's mood felt inexplicably suppressed.

He said to Sun Lingtong: "Boss, White Paper Xiancheng is too chaotic. A dignified Xiancheng, clearly protected by a magic array, yet someone still takes action."

"They not only fight fiercely, but can also burn down the landmark buildings in the city; what does this mean?"

"White Paper Xiancheng has already been infiltrated, and there are many inside traitors; otherwise, the Xiancheng magic array alone would be enough to suppress these people to death."

Even if it was just a distant view and he didn't see the specific scene of the battle, just looking at this posture, he could understand that these destroyers received very little suppression from the magic array, or even none at all.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to cause such a huge degree of destruction!

"White Paper Xiancheng has internal and external troubles, there must be a great chaos." Sun Lingtong nodded, deeply agreeing.

The defense of the Xiancheng was very outstanding.

Compared with the front-line camp of the Two Note Kingdoms, the defensive power was far beyond it.

The effect of the Xiancheng array suppressing cultivation and combat power was very obvious. As a defensive side, it possessed great geographical advantages.

If it were the second great battle of the Thousand Peaks Forest of the Two Note Kingdoms, if the Two Note Kingdom army occupied an Xiancheng, the entire battle situation would be completely different.

It could even be said that the coalition forces of the Thousand Peaks Forest would not consider actively attacking an Xiancheng stationed by the Two Note Kingdom army at all!

Unlike Ning Zhuo had the idea of watching the battle at close range a moment ago, but this idea had already been extinguished at this moment.

"Although we didn't have the opportunity to collect detailed local information before entering the city. But judging from our current experience, White Paper Xiancheng belongs to internal and external troubles, swaying in the wind and rain."

"The external trouble is the Ghost Tide; the White Paper City Lord, as the pillar here, seems to have fallen into a predicament, which adds a huge shadow to the Xiancheng's defense against the Ghost Tide."

"And the internal trouble should be the City-Overturning Alliance. As far as I know, one of the members of the City-Overturning Alliance is the Bone Crocodile Demon. As for Xie Sichao, the military advisor of the Yin soldiers, he should come from some force in the underworld. As a local rebellious force, the City-Overturning Alliance has already colluded with external forces, which is even more threatening."

"Sigh, White Paper Xiancheng is already a place of right and wrong, and cannot stay for long. Boss, let's find Funeral Music Youling as soon as possible, let her divine, and after we get the result, we will leave here immediately."

Unlike Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong communicated secretly.

Sun Lingtong had different thoughts about this.

He shook his head slightly and transmitted his spiritual sense: "Don't, Little Zhuo. We haven't experienced what a Ghost Tide is like. Experiencing it should be not bad."

"Moreover, the more dangerous it is, the more opportunities it contains."

"Think carefully, our family wealth is more than a thousand times more than before. Why?"

"Isn't it because we risked our lives and participated in the great battle of the Two Note Kingdoms."

"If it were now, this Ghost Tide crisis in White Paper Xiancheng might also be another huge opportunity for us!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo was silent.

Sun Lingtong persuaded again: "Little Zhuo, we have an advantage now. You are wearing the identity of a male consort, and you can get in touch with the highest level of the city!"

"If an opportunity comes, this identity will bring even greater opportunities."

Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded slightly: "What you said makes sense."

"But why do I feel that you, Boss, just want to watch the fun?"

Sun Lingtong laughed: "Just tell me, is what I said right or not? Are you moved?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo was silent again.

He was indeed moved.

If it were in the Fire Persimmon Xiancheng, or when he was in the Wan Yao Sect, he would definitely hold a negative opinion and leave White Paper Xiancheng as early as possible, as far as possible.

But now...

He had indeed benefited from taking risks, and the degree of benefit was huge.

The experience of the battlefield also triggered another layer of his cognition of life and life.

"Then let's follow this identity, approach the high level of the Xiancheng, and try to see if there is any opportunity." Unlike Ning Zhuo said.

Sun Lingtong was so happy that he almost wanted to pat Unlike Ning Zhuo on the shoulder: "Little Zhuo, you are more and more to my appetite. If I had known this, I should have let you come out to travel a few years earlier."

Unlike Ning Zhuo added: "But I think it's a bit hanging. If I were the City Lord, I would definitely strictly review the male consorts approaching her."

Www? tTkдn? co

"We are very likely to be unable to pass the first layer of review."

Sun Lingtong: "Although my theft arts have grown greatly, I am indeed not sure about facing the review of the Xiancheng."

"Let's take it one step at a time; even if we are discovered, we can clarify our identities. Funeral Music Youling's status here is not low."

"Even if we are to be punished, we can use the Ten Thousand Mile Swimming Dragon to escape."

The two discussed and agreed, and then followed the others to continue on their way.

Not long after, they arrived at a separate mansion.

On the plaque of the separate mansion were three big characters — Hidden Yang Separate Mansion.

The gray paper lion at the door saw the group and took the initiative to speak: "Are these the newly arrived male consorts?"

The leader said yes.

"Go in." The gray paper lion opened the door.

The group filed in.

Just after walking into the separate mansion, there were paper person maids who saluted the group: "Please follow me, everyone."

The group bypassed the shadow wall, walked through the main hall, passed through three layers of green-tiled corridors, and through five layers of Yin Qi barriers, arriving at a small garden.

"Please wait a moment, everyone, the steward will come."

Half a cup of tea later, a Human cultivator, middle-aged, wearing a silver robe, paced slowly and walked in front of everyone.

He scanned everyone, his head tilted slightly back, and said with an arrogant attitude: "Listen, newcomers, this steward will first talk about three things today — dining, recognizing the place, and assigning rooms."

"From today on, you will live here for a period of time. I look forward to your good performance in the future!"

After the steward finished speaking, he carried his hands on his back and paced away again.

"Strange, there is actually no review?" The Sun and Ning duo looked at each other, feeling very strange.

Because it was noon, a paper person maid walked over and led everyone to the dining hall first.

The Sun and Ning duo entered the dining hall and found that there were many people inside, at least a hundred.

"Could it be that these people are..." someone asked.

The paper person maid nodded: "That's right, they are all male consorts of this session."

Everyone looked at each other in silence.

The seats were not fixed, and everyone was free to sit.

Sun Lingtong just wanted to sit next to Unlike Ning Zhuo, but was scolded by a paper person guard: "Bold! A mere servant of the Ghost tribe, how can you sit with the male consorts?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo did not want to be separated from Sun Lingtong, so he explained roughly: He is my savior.

As a result, the paper person attendant scolded Unlike Ning Zhuo again, not giving any face at all because of his status as a male consort.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was slightly stunned, but after looking at the male consorts in the hall, he immediately understood the true status of this group.

Sun Lingtong gave Unlike Ning Zhuo a look, decisively separated, and like other servants, squatted in the corner to eat.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was just about to taste lunch when another paper person attendant called him: "Jiao Ma, the Grand Steward is calling you over."

"What for?" Unlike Ning Zhuo asked.

The paper person attendant sneered: "You are a newcomer, and you broke the rules as soon as you arrived; naturally, it is to reprimand you. Did you think there was something good?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo was speechless.

In a private room, he saw the silver-robed steward again.

The steward was enjoying the food on the table, picking his teeth while saying to Unlike Ning Zhuo: "Jiao Ma, you are a newcomer, and you violated the rules; you should be punished!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo immediately cupped his fists, smiled, and spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Seeing his posture, the steward's arrogance converged slightly: "Looking at your appearance, you must be from a wealthy family. So it's not that you don't understand the rules, but that you are rich and imposing. Tell me, how much money did you bring me? I want to see your sincerity so that I can assign you a good room."

Unlike Ning Zhuo couldn't help but be surprised.

He didn't expect this steward to solicit bribes so openly.

He immediately recalled the steward's words in the small garden earlier, saying there were three things, namely dining, recognizing the place, and assigning rooms.

"It seems that the houses have good and bad ones, and the steward has the power to allocate them, so he abuses his power to solicit bribes on a large scale in this regard." Unlike Ning Zhuo understood immediately.

He was a newcomer and knew nothing, so he wanted to find out more information, so he asked: "Steward, what is the price of the house? Please explain it to me."

As a result, the steward sneered disdainfully: "What is my status? Let me explain it to you? You came to be a male consort, and you didn't even do this homework?"

"Give me money, and I will arrange it at my discretion, understand?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo's family wealth was extremely thick; if he really said it, the steward would definitely find it hard to believe. Just taking out a drop in the bucket would make the steward extremely satisfied.

But Unlike Ning Zhuo thought about it, but did not do so.

He shook his head directly and also sneered: "Hey! I hate your face the most; I originally wanted to give you some to send you away. Now? Hehe."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Leaving the steward dumbfounded, watching Unlike Ning Zhuo walk away.

"Not..."

"Not!"

"How can this person be even more arrogant than me?!"
