Tang Ling did not expect Zhuo Guang to abandon them like this. She was so angry that she stood up and wanted to find Zhuo Guang for a theory, but was held back by Qi Tai.

Tang Ling, sit down, Boss Zhuo and I have already completed a deal. If not for the city entrance warrants, I don't know which city we would be stuck in and which won't be able to leave. Being able to come here for a few months is already our luck, not to mention Boss Zhuo is a businessman.

Tang Ling, "But …"

"It's our duty to help you, and it's our duty not to help you. As long as you're grateful, it's fine." Mu Xiaoling sincerely saw Tang Ling as a little sister and tried to reason with her.

Feng Jiuyang couldn't hold back his laughter.

Tang Ling stared at him, "What are you laughing about?"

Feng Jiuyang said, "I felt it was funny. Little Ling was clearly a few years younger than Miss Tang, but now these words actually made Little Ling like an older sister. Miss Tang becoming a younger sister is truly a bit amusing."

Mu Xiaoling had just turned fourteen and was a bit tall. In addition to her usual shrewd and ruthless attitude, she always made people subconsciously ignore her age. Now that she was pointed out by Feng Jiuyang, Tang Ling finally remembered and immediately blushed as she said, "I'm happy with it!"

Mu Xiaoling said, "Alright, let's find a place to rest for the night and enter the city tomorrow."

Feng Jiuyang nodded in agreement. Tang Ling and Qi Tai, who had always listened to Mu Xiaoling, naturally didn't have any objections.

The four of them found a ruined temple and spent the night there. Early the next morning, the four of them camouflaged themselves as siblings who had just returned from a foreign land and then hid all of their weapons in their spatial rings. Even Feng Jiuyang's zither wasn't spared.

The four of them lined up and moved forward until they reached the city gate. They saw a table on top of the table, and a fist-sized testing stone was placed on top of it. The leader of the group sat behind the table with two soldiers, and anyone who went there had to first call for an entry order before touching the testing stone.

Coincidentally, at this time, an old man who was over the age of ten walked over and called for the city entrance token. He touched the martial arts stone and saw that it was emitting a faint cyan light.

When the leader saw the situation, he immediately chased them out: "Scram, fighters are not allowed to enter the city."

The old man jumped in fright, trembling slightly as he begged: "Sir, this old man is almost seventy years old, and I live in the Apricot Flower Village outside the city. Look at this old man's age, what martial artist is he?"

"You're still trying to deceive us? Although this testing stone cannot be faked, its appearance is still something that can be done." With a glance from the leader, soldiers immediately came over and removed the old man's disguise in a few moments. He really was a middle-aged man.

The leader threw the city entrance token over, "I don't know how many times I'll meet someone like you every day. Hurry up and f * ck off."

Although the middle-aged man was unwilling, he had no choice but to leave as he had more people on his side.

Not long later, the leader found out another person who was pretending. This time, he was dishonest and directly grabbed him. This time, he went into the city and directly into the dungeon.

Tang Ling was so nervous that her heart was thumping, afraid that they would be exposed as well.

Mu Xiaoling patted her shoulder in consolation. "It's alright. You go first."

"Ah?!" Tang Ling had a bitter expression on her face. Since it was their turn, she could only bite the bullet and go all out.

Tang Ling first placed her hand on the martial testing stone. If it was in the past, this martial testing stone would definitely emit a green and blue light, however, after using Mu Xiaoling's medicine yesterday, there was no sign of movement, as if she really did not have any talent.

The soldier waved his hand, "Not a fighter. Go in."

Tang Ling let out a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to leave, the leader called out to her.

The leader sized her up. "Why are you so nervous?"

Tang Ling was also clever and immediately replied: "I am from the countryside, and this is my first time seeing you. I am naturally respectful and fearful, and I hope that you do not blame me."

The leader truly did not see any problems and thought that there was nothing wrong with the stone, so he waved his hand and let them leave.

Next was Qi Tai, then Feng Jiuyang. The two of them also entered the city without triggering the martial arts stone.

Mu Xiaoling was the last one. However, when she placed her hand on the martial testing stone, it seemed as if the stone felt something and broke into several pieces. It seemed that it couldn't be used anymore.

This was the first time the leader had seen such a situation, and he was immediately dumbfounded. He then roared at Mu Xiaoling, "What did you do?!"

Mu Xiaoling pretended to be at a loss. "I didn't touch this stone."

The leader calmed down and realized this problem. Just now, the girl's hand was still a distance away from the martial testing stone. If it wasn't this person, could it have been someone else?

No matter what, someone had to take the blame, "How expensive are these testing stones? No matter what, it's because of you, so we'll first take them in before anything else."

When Mu Xiaoling saw that the soldiers had moved, she secretly gathered her strength. Tang Ling and the other two also prepared to move out. At this moment, someone from outside shouted, "The martial arts testing stone has shattered!"

A group of people rushed towards the city gate, and in the blink of an eye, all of the soldiers were submerged within. A wave of water rushed into the city gate.

The leader and the soldiers were not small, but they had gathered for more than half a year. There was nothing they could do about it.

Mu Xiaoling took the opportunity to rush through the city gate along with the three people of Feng Jiuyang's group. They followed the stream of people and rushed towards the other side of the city gate. However, at this time, a terrifying and intimidating pressure approached from afar.

Ever since she started cultivating the [Skydark Mantra], her spiritual sense had always been more sensitive than anyone else's. She immediately knew that this was an expert of at least the Martial Spirit level.

She immediately pulled at Tang Ling and Feng Jiuyang, "Move to the left!"

The four of them immediately turned a corner away from the crowd and ran into a group of houses. Seeing that one of the doors to the house was open and the yard was empty, they immediately entered the house and hid inside.

A group of people descended from the sky and blocked their way before they reached the city gate on the other side of the main street. They were all dressed in black and shouted in unison, "Everyone, get back to the Zhong Family!"

"Why!" The crowd was unwilling to accept this. "Even if the secret realm isn't naturally nurtured, senior left it for those who are fated to be there. For you to not let us into it, this is unfair!"

At this moment, a streak of light descended from the sky, smashing the leader to death.

An old man walked over on foot. He raised his hand and stroked his moustache, "Give me some fairness. Do you have the strength to do so? Either you f * ck off or you die."

The last six words were like a hammer that struck the hearts of everyone present. Their martial arts nearly caused them to spit out blood as they were dragged back by their companions.

No matter how unwilling they were, they could only retreat out of the city.

Zhong Wuming coldly snorted, "A bunch of useless trash."
