Chapter 51 Wheelchair-bound Dunshan terrifies Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong!
Just as the two women approached the north gate of the Great Wall.
The faint moonlight illuminated Tang Wei's head hanging on the city gate.
"ah--"
Ning Rongrong was startled, her slender body went limp and she collapsed to the ground, saying urgently:
"Rumors are circulating that several major forces visited Chang'an today, but were all refused entry and even clashed! Could this head have come from them...? Chang'an is terrifying!"
Zhu Zhuqing dismissed it, glanced at her, and said seriously:
"Rongrong, it must be because those visitors didn't follow the rules that they ended up like this. If you're scared, go back. You don't need to stay with me."
Ning Rongrong immediately became displeased, jumped up, put her hands on her hips, and said:
"Who...who said I'm afraid! I just wanted to join Chang'an anyway, and I was just going the same way as you, humph!"
Shaking her head helplessly, Zhu Zhuqing's cold voice rang out again:
"Then let's keep going. Don't make a fuss, and don't refer to yourself as 'this young lady' anymore. When you're on someone else's turf, you should be polite."
As she spoke, she stepped towards the city gate again.
"Okay, okay. Hey, wait for me... oops, wait for me!"
Ning Rongrong had just nodded when she saw that she had disappeared, so she quickly chased after her.
On her way there, she heard that her father had also come to visit, but had been turned away at the door.
She wanted to see what was so mysterious about Chang'an that even her father couldn't get in!
However, just as they approached, a mechanical voice suddenly came from all directions:
"BBBBB, SBSB...XXXX... (Intruder detected, two at a time, clear them out...)"
Both women were startled by the sudden sound.
Ning Rongrong quickly scanned the area, saw nothing, and frowned, saying:
"What the hell is that noise? What are you mumbling about? You scared me!"
Zhu Zhuqing calmly analyzed the situation and said seriously:
"We may have triggered some kind of mechanism or soul tool in Chang'an. Don't act rashly."
As she was speaking, a colossal figure quietly appeared on the city wall.
Before the two women could react, the enormous creature leaped down, causing the earth to tremble.
"boom--!"
The shockwaves, carrying clouds of dust, forced the two women backward, causing them to collapse to the ground.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing quickly recovered and looked up.
A giant robot with blue eyes slowly approached.
"Aaaaaah! What the hell is this?!"
Ning Rongrong was so frightened that her slender body trembled violently, and she fainted.
"Could this be the soul tool that Tianmu described? Is it going to attack me? What should I do?!"
Zhu Zhuqing's heart tightened, and she was at a loss for what to do.
Just then, two authoritative voices, one female and one male, came from the city:
"Dunshan, stop first."
"Outsiders, hands up!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing quickly stopped and looked up at the city wall.
The two figures were Hua Mulan, who happened to be patrolling the area, and Su Lie, who was guarding it.
"What is your purpose in trespassing into my Chang'an territory?"
Hua Mulan leaped down, her sharp eyes fixed on the still-conscious Zhu Zhuqing.
"Such a powerful aura..."
Zhu Zhuqing gasped softly in surprise and quickly stood up respectfully, saying:
"I...I want to join Chang'an!!"
Before Mulan could answer, Su Lie leaped down and shouted:
"We in Chang'an do not accept outside Soul Masters. You shall leave on your own, or else... die!"
In the past, those who had come this far would certainly not have been let go so easily.
But now that Chang'an's location has been exposed by the Sky Curtain, it's impossible to kill all the people who have come here.
If there is malicious intent, remove it; if there is no malicious intent, drive it away!
"No! I want to join Chang'an! I want to become stronger!!"
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were resolute; she had made the decision to join even if it meant certain death.
Su Lie frowned deeply, tightened his grip on the Xuanwu Pillar, and was about to make a move.
"Oh? Why do you want to become stronger?!"
Hua Mulan suddenly spoke up and asked a question.
"because..."
Zhu Zhuqing did not hide anything and revealed her background.
"If that's the case, Chang'an is no place for you! Leave immediately!!"
Su Lie gave a stern shout, knowing full well that the city lord did not want to interfere with outside affairs.
Letting someone involved with the Star Luo royal family join... it's hard to say whether they might be an undercover agent!
Hua Mulan raised her hand to interrupt, and gave the order to Dunshan:
"Dunshan, lock them up first."
"BBBB, BBBB (Yes, yes!)"
Dunshan Machinery reached out with both hands and lifted the two women up like chicks.
Zhu Zhuqing was taken away before she could receive an answer about whether she could join.
"Captain, what are you doing?!"
Su Lie asked, somewhat puzzled.
Hua Mulan waved her hand:
"I was moved by her determination."
Su Lie frowned deeply:
"You have violated the city lord's rules. This is not like you, who always treated orders as sacred!"
Hua Mulan remembered what the city lord had said and smiled:
"If everything were done according to the rules, life would be too boring."
Before Su Lie could ask further, she continued:
"Don't worry, I will ask for permission once the city lord comes out of seclusion. For now, he will be kept locked up and will not be brought to Chang'an City."
"Moreover, the city lord took in an outsider soul master today and broke through his bottleneck after many years. Perhaps these two women can also be of some help?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she followed Dunshan into the city.
"After all that, it turns out you just wanted to help the city lord improve his strength. Well, that makes sense, considering how much you care for him... sigh."
Su Lie watched her departing figure, shook his head helplessly, and let out a soft sigh instead of the words he was about to say.
...
Time flies, and half a day passes in the blink of an eye.
The day when the new list will be announced is just around the corner, with only one day left.
The clamor in the world, like a fire fueled by the wind, grew ever more intense.
Tian Dou City, Dugu Mansion.
Upon returning, Dugu Bo solemnly confessed to his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, everything he had been hiding from her.
"What?!"
Dugu Yan was shocked and found it hard to believe:
"Even if it's true, I don't want to join Chang'an! What's the difference between being isolated from the world and being in a prison?!"
Dugu Bo felt helpless:
"Yanyan, would Grandpa harm you? You don't know how terrifying the Jade Serpent is, otherwise do you think your mother is...sigh."
He paused, then coaxed:
"My dear, now that the Heavenly Curtain has exposed Chang'an, it will likely have contact with the outside world from now on, so it can hardly be considered a prison. Besides, inside... it's practically a paradise!"
On the way out, Li Xin showed Dugu Bo around for a short while, which, to be honest, made him, a person who wanted to retire, extremely excited.
"But..."
Even though she knew she might die like her mother, Dugu Yan still nodded in agreement.
There is still hope to survive...
Dugu Bo was overjoyed and pulled his granddaughter to leave.
But as soon as she came out, she ran into Ye Lingling and her grandmother Ye Xinci.
"Old man Dugu, I heard everything. Could you please take my granddaughter with you? Please, for the sake of our many years of friendship, I beg you!"
The two had always been straightforward in their conversations, and Ye Xinci got straight to the point, earnestly requesting his help.
Dugu Bo was startled. He had been so engrossed in his conversation with his granddaughter that he hadn't noticed anyone outside. He frowned and said:
"You were eavesdropping? Even if I were willing to help, Chang'an might not necessarily, and besides, your granddaughter is willing to join and never be able to leave?!"
Ye Lingling stepped forward with a determined look in her eyes, her clear, cold voice ringing out:
"To protect the glory of the Nine-Heart Begonia and ensure its eternal existence, I, Ye Lingling, am willing to do anything!"
She had prepared herself mentally when she first overheard their conversation.
If the Nine Heart Begonia continues to be passed down through a single lineage, and an accident occurs in any generation, this martial spirit that has been passed down for thousands of years will be cut off from the world!
Then, she looked at Dugu Yan with a hint of optimism and smiled slightly:
"If we really can't get out, won't we still have Yanyan to keep us company in the future?"
Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were both stunned, but were eventually moved by her determination and agreed.
"Alright, I'm willing to help, but I've made it clear that if Chang'an refuses, there's nothing I can do!"
...
at the same time.
Chang'an City, the City Lord's Mansion.
"I was stuck at level 91 for two and a half years, but I finally broke through to level 92!"
Ye Han slowly walked out of the underground chamber, a relieved smile on his lips.
"Congratulations, City Lord, on your breakthrough!"
As soon as they came out, they saw Shangguan Wan'er, who had been waiting for them for a long time.
Just as Ye Han was about to ask something, he noticed that she seemed to be complaining:
"Lord City Lord, Wan'er has something very important to report!"
"Half a day ago, Mulan discovered two outside Soul Masters at the North Gate of the Great Wall. Instead of clearing them out or driving them away as required by regulations, she locked them up!"
"In my opinion, this is a blatant challenge to the authority of Your Majesty, the City Lord!"
