Chapter 2534: A monthly tradition?
"why?"
Ling Tian spoke in confusion, his eyes fixed on the painful Si Hai.
Logically speaking, relying on the relationship between Sihai and Captain Qi, they should have a chance to leave the city. If that doesn't work, let Sihai find a few crystals, and they will definitely be able to get out.
But Sihai didn't even try and directly denied it. Does that mean that once you enter the city of Licheng, you can't leave?
Then why are the people of Tiantian Village able to leave on weekdays?
Don’t they always leave the city after buying some daily necessities?
Just as Ling Tian was pondering, Si Hai leaned against the wall in pain, slowly sat down, and said with sadness in his eyes: "Brother, you don't know that in the entire Licheng, unless you said you would leave when you first entered the city, and then let Captain Qi understand your intentions, otherwise..."
"Otherwise, you'll be inseparable from me for the rest of your life. Captain Qi will never let you go. Even if we contact Captain Qi, he won't risk it because of the relationship between him and me. After all, if anyone in this city is missing, the city lord will vent his anger on Captain Qi and... kill him!"
When these words were spoken, Ling Tian was obviously stunned. For a moment, he seemed a little confused about Licheng's strange rule.
According to Sihai, if you want to leave the city, you need to make it clear at the beginning. Then why didn't he ask me too many questions when I entered the city, but let me leave directly?
Could it be that...he...
wrong!
Suddenly, Ling Tian remembered Captain Qi's hesitation in speaking, and combined with the situation in Tiantian Village, a terrible thought appeared in Ling Tian's mind.
Before Ling Tian could think about it, Si Hai whispered, "Brother, there's only one way for us to leave the city. That's to make up our minds not to come back, and then leave. But... if we leave, we'll definitely not survive. I came here because I couldn't survive outside of Licheng."
"I know you're from somewhere else, and your attire doesn't seem like you're from our neighborhood. And you give me the impression of being very strong, even stronger than Captain Qi. So, brother, if you can, please save my sister, okay?"
Ling Tian was stunned by Sihai's sudden plea. He did not speak in a hurry, but looked at Sihai in front of him quietly.
Logically speaking, everything has a beginning and an end. Since I want to help this family, I should help them to the end.
But at this moment, Ling Tian didn't want to show up in public for the time being, nor did he want to have too much interaction with the warriors in Licheng.
Moreover, I helped Sihai only because I felt that his family was a little pitiful. At the same time, I wanted to find a local tour guide to learn more about Licheng, so I extended a helping hand.
If his help would eventually bring danger and put himself in an irreversible situation, he would definitely stop all actions and prioritize safety.
After all, his goal is the passage. Before finding the passage, he will not act rashly, or at least not too anxiously.
only……
Ling Tian looked at Si Hai. Seeing his worried and painful expression for Si Tian, Ling Tian couldn't help but sigh and whispered, "If you want to leave Licheng and never come back, I can't do it. I have my own things to do and can't leave for the time being."
Hearing this, Si Hai hurriedly said, "Brother, tell me! Why did you come to Licheng? You can tell me. If I know, I will definitely tell you, and then we can leave together, okay?"
"That's not really a secret." Ling Tian shrugged and said, "I'm looking for an entrance, an entrance that can leave Licheng. Do you know?"
Hearing Ling Tian's question, Si Hai frowned and thought seriously. After a long time, he shook his head: "I... I don't really understand."
"Okay, it's normal that you don't know this. What I'm looking for should be in the city center, so..."
"I can help you get to the city center! I'll talk to Captain Qi!" Si Hai said anxiously, "Although leaving the city is unlikely, he will definitely agree to go to the city center, so..."
"I have no plans to go there for the time being." Ling Tian shook his head, and then noticed that Si Hai's eyes slowly changed from anxiety to despair.
At this moment, Sihai's desire to save his sister reached its peak, but unfortunately, things went against his wishes, as if everything was against him.
I thought Ling Tian would be my sister's hope, but in the end I found out that he was not my sister's hope.
Si Hai sighed, feeling as if all his strength had drained out of him. His voice even became weaker as he spoke, "It's okay. I know this is only our first day together, and I'm already very happy that you've done so much for me... You said you wanted to ask me something. This should be the entrance you mentioned, right?"
"Yeah." Ling Tian nodded: "But that's not the most important thing. I have something important to ask you."
Hearing this, Si Hai looked up at Ling Tian: "Brother, tell me, I will definitely not hide it."
"I just want to know how strong the warriors in Licheng are, and what the so-called city lord is like. Most importantly, why can warriors survive with monsters? These are the things I want to know."
Ling Tian's question startled Si Hai slightly. He was obviously no fool, and he reacted instantly. He stared at Ling Tian blankly and said, "Brother, you...you want to attack the city lord?"
"Oh?" Ling Tian raised an eyebrow. "Why do you say that? I didn't say anything. Why do you feel that way?"
"Because you are asking about Licheng's strength, right? Brother, are you very strong?"
"Almost." Ling Tian nodded: "Have you heard of the Saint Realm?"
This simple sentence made Sihai stunned, and then the despair in his eyes was gradually replaced by surprise.
He stood up suddenly, walked quickly to Ling Tian, stretched out his hand to hold him, and asked in front of Ling Tian's puzzled eyes: "Brother, are you from the Saint Realm? You... your realm is so high? The strongest warrior in our Licheng is only in the middle stage of the Saint Realm. You... you really are from the Saint Realm?"
"Yes." Ling Tian nodded: "What's wrong? I feel like you are surprised? Didn't you say that your strongest warriors are from the Saint Realm, so my story shouldn't be that surprising, right?"
"Brother, you don't understand!" Si Hai hurriedly shook his head: "If you were from the Holy Land, you could enter and leave Licheng freely! You... these rules and regulations of Licheng are useless to you! Brother, please help me! Okay? I beg you! Help me!"
Si Hai was about to kneel down when Ling Tian hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't kneel yet. Explain yourself clearly. What do you mean by free entry and exit to Licheng?"
Hearing this, Sihai took a deep breath and tried to calm his voice before saying, "Licheng has a tradition. Every month, a martial arts tournament is held in the city. The winner...will have the same privileges as the city lord! Brother...you...you can definitely win!"
