Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 64

However, no one knew what Yan Chutian was thinking. In the eyes of some, he was already a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. When the time came, they would just swing a knife and slaughter him.

After waiting for a while on the vast field, several people with powerful auras walked out of the City Lord Mansion. They were led by a tall, dark-skinned middle-aged man. Although he looked masculine, his entire body emitted a feminine aura, which was rather difficult for people to accept.

However, no matter what the appearance or aura of the middle-aged man looked like, his appearance immediately caused a huge commotion among the crowd. Not to mention Hu Kun and the other geniuses, even the arrogant young man slightly held back his gaze and did not dare to be presumptuous.

It was not difficult for Yan Chutian to guess that this middle-aged man must have come from one of the five powers of the region.

"He was Luo Bing, the elder from the Ice Nether Region who was guarding this place. The strength of the Nether Ice Region guarding this Central Plains City was second only to the Fire Plains Region. Luo Bing was a second-rate figure in the guard troop . He had stepped into the Yuanying Realm and was extremely powerful."

Yan Ningzhu whispered to Yan Chutian. His words were not far from Yan Chutian's guess. However, Yan Chutian also noticed a hint of relief in Yan Ningzhu's tone of voice. It seemed that Luo Bing's appearance made her happy.

Yan Chutian asked casually, trying to voice it out. "People from the Ice Nether Region seem to be doing well. At least, even though Luo Bing's cultivation was strong, she did not show any disgust."

Yan Chutian's words made Yan Ningzhu snort coldly and she could not help but say, "They are all wolves from the same tribe. However, compared to the Fireland Region, the Ice Nether Region was indeed much more open and upright."

Yan Chutian could clearly sense that when the Fire Plains Region was mentioned, Yan Ningzhu's attitude was extremely disgusted. It was much more intense than when he spoke of the Nether Ice Region. Thus, when combined with his various actions and intentions, his doubts about Yan Ningzhu gradually became clear.

Yan Chutian believed in his own judgment. Yan Ningzhu was supposed to be from the Fire Plains Region, but she had no idea why she had such a great grudge against that Region. Furthermore, he had deliberately disguised himself as a man to avoid the Fire Plains Region.

Perhaps at this moment, the people from the Plains Flame Region in Central Plains City were also looking for him everywhere. However, they would never have thought that Yan Ningzhu would actually hide her identity and participate in the fight to obtain a safe road quota to enter the Central Plains.

Actually, the reason is very simple. The Central Plains are very broad. Although it seemed to be closer to the actual Fire Plains Region and seemed to be walking into a trap, it was actually easier to hide. Moreover, rather than hiding in a backward place with a thin Spirit Qi, anyone would probably choose the beautiful Central Plains.

In an instant, Yan Chutian understood many things. At the same time, Yan Ningzhu seemed to realize that she had revealed something that she should not have. He immediately closed his red lips and did not speak anymore.

Other than Yan Chutian, Qiu Yu, whose right eye was deep purple, had apparently also captured important information. He said to Yan Chutian inwardly, "It seems that he wants to avoid the people from the Fire Plains Region, or rather, the Fire Plains Region that dominates the Central Plains City."

"Yes. This is good too. At least, we can make sure he doesn't harbour any malicious intent against us."

Yan Chutian also replied in silence. After that, Qiu Yu did not reply to her, because Luo Bing had already made her move.

"Whoever owns the token can enter the safe path. But remember, you cannot let the token leave the body. Otherwise, the Spirit Qi that was rippling in the safe path would immediately press you to death and turn you into bloody pulp. You'll stay there forever."

When he said this, many practitioners inevitably took out their tokens and looked at it deeply. They initially thought that the token was just a token to enter a safe path. Who knew that it would have such an important function that it would directly determine their life and death?

"In addition, don't get off the safe lane and don't care about anything that happens outside the safe lane. Even the Yuanying Realm experts did not dare to set foot outside of the safe passage. Many of the five realm experts had died there. It's not something you deserve to touch."

Luo Bing's words made the crowd even more serious. In fact, they already knew this without Luo Bing's reminder. It was like a natural barrier, and even the strength of the five regions did not have the ability to destroy it. Otherwise, why would they open up a safe path?

Moreover, it was rumored that there were too many frightening things hidden in this vast barrier. Yuanying Realm experts did not dare to set foot in it, but to be honest, even the ruling class of the five regions did not dare to enter personally. Many people at this level disappeared after entering and were presumed to have died.

Currently, only people like Yan Chutian and Qiu Yu did not have the slightest fear. Instead, they were very interested in the barrier. This place was very similar to some of the forbidden areas in the Heaven Realm. However, the barrier in the mortal world was extremely attractive. It completely surrounded the entire Central Plains and isolated it from the outside world.

It felt like someone had done it on purpose.

If time and effort allow, they both really want to go in and see it. But now, it was more important to enter the Central Plains and find the Stairway to Heaven as quickly as possible. Moreover, even if they found the Stairway to Heaven, it would be very difficult to approach it or even borrow it. They must think carefully.

Luo Bing looked extremely satisfied as she looked at the serious expressions on everyone's faces. After looking around, he waved his sleeve and said, "Follow me. The hallway is open for a limited time, so we can't waste time."

Then, under Luo Bing's lead, the crowd followed him into the City Lord's Residence. Immediately, they walked into the large hall. After entering, a huge black vortex appeared in front of them. Countless Martial Soldiers guarded the vortex, and each of them emitted an extremely powerful aura. Even if they were not Yuanying Realm experts, they were very close to him.

Moreover, these were only the cultivators guarding the vortex. Who knew if there were more terrifying people hiding in the darkness?

"Sign in as per the token," Luo Bing said.

Then, a group of young disciples took the lead and walked out. They were the top disciples of the army of the five regions, and they were in the first row. Of course, the so-called five region army here was just a gigantic guard branch in the Central Plains. Perhaps, in the eyes of the true power of the five regions, the geniuses here were merely ants.

In short, these geniuses were extremely arrogant in front of the people here. For example, the arrogant young man, who was asked for protection by Xuan Kun, was in this group of disciples.
