Li Yuru was like a treasure hunter; you could always count on her for information.
The first seven-colored plate was directly linked to Li Yuru, and it was she who had brought it back from outside.
Among so many people, the seven-colored plate hadn't attached itself to anyone else but her. This suggested that some things were difficult to explain and strongly indicated that Li Yuru possessed some unique, unusual quality.
As for what that reason was, Xia Feng didn't see the need to research it thoroughly. As long as it was useful to him, that was enough.
"Mm, very good. This trip was worth it; this is the fourth one," Xia Feng nodded.
He already had three plates, and with this one from the Exotic Beast City, that made four.
Finally, more than half the task was completed. Finding the remaining three plates would be even easier.
With Li Yuru providing directions over a wide area and Luo Manjing sensing their presence in a smaller range, Xia Feng no longer needed to use his own brain.
The six of them walked towards the entrance. The two beams of light at the city gate shone upon them, causing no discernible effect.
Xia Feng merely glanced at the two Qilin statues emitting the light.
"Young Master, we're entering the city," Li Yuru was the first to step inside, finally arriving in the eagerly anticipated Exotic Beast City.
City Lord's Mansion.
The three city lords were enjoying tea in their chambers. At their level of cultivation, they rarely practiced anymore.
After all, no matter how hard they cultivated, they couldn't reach the Saint Emperor realm. It wasn't something that could be broken through by sheer effort; it depended on luck, talent, and most importantly, enlightenment. Only by comprehending the rules mastered by a Saint Emperor could one cultivate further.
Otherwise, any cultivation effort would be in vain.
Since they cultivated martial arts, why not enjoy themselves? They would wait for the destined person to arrive.
The three of them certainly knew how to enjoy themselves, indulging in both beauty and indulgence, missing nothing.
They had cultivated their entire lives; what was wrong with enjoying themselves?
"Three City Lords, urgent report!!!"
A hurried voice suddenly echoed from outside the door.
"Enter," Xue Yangxia frowned and gestured for the person outside to come in and speak.
Upon receiving Xue Yangxia's command, the man outside pushed the door open and knelt before the three of them, cupping his hands. "Greetings, Three City Lords. I have an urgent matter to report."
"Speak," Xue Yangxia waved his hand.
"The monitoring station just reported that a Nine Nether Physique has entered the city," the man kneeling on the ground reported truthfully.
"Is this true?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Yangxia stood up excitedly.
"Completely true," the man kneeling on the ground continued to answer.
"Good, you may leave," Xue Yangxia waved his hand excitedly.
"Yes, City Lord," the man rose, took three steps back, and left the room.
After the man departed, the three looked at each other and burst into laughter, their eyes reflecting mutual excitement.
"Big Brother, it was worth waiting here for thousands of years. Now that we've finally encountered someone with the Nine Nether Physique, can we break through to the Saint Emperor realm?" Ma Tiangang asked excitedly.
Ge Chenghua also showed excitement on his face and pressed, "Big Brother, should we go capture them now? I'm becoming impatient."
Indeed, after waiting for thousands of years, the appearance of such a person would stir excitement in anyone.
If they hadn't persisted, they wouldn't have reached this day.
Of course, persistence doesn't guarantee success, but a lack of it certainly guarantees failure.
Online platitudes often say: Persistence... Giving up... Success.
In reality, ordinary people face: Persistence... Not giving up.......................................................................................................................................Failure.
Therefore, consume less online fluff and just follow your instincts.
A wrong direction will never lead to the path of success.
Xue Yangxia raised his hand to calm them, saying, "No need to rush. Now that the person has entered the city, do you think anyone in the Saint Realm can snatch them from our hands?"
"I understand your excitement, but what we need now is to discuss how to utilize the Nine Nether Physique to help us achieve the Great Dao."
After speaking, Xue Yangxia glanced into the distance and said solemnly, "Dou Zhen, come here."
Shortly after, someone pushed open the door. It was Dou Zhen, the vice city lord.
"Three elder brothers, what are your orders?" Dou Zhen asked as he entered.
"The Nine Nether Physique has appeared. You are to monitor them now. Report any slightest disturbance immediately," Xue Yangxia instructed.
Dou Zhen's eyes widened slightly upon hearing this, and he quickly responded, "Yes, Big Brother."
