However, as he walked straight towards the high wall on the other side, an ominous premonition gradually arose in Qin Cheng's heart.

This city is so weird, with so many strange people and things. Xing Zun must have put a lot of effort into setting up this place. Will he really let them enter the city and then leave easily?

Soon, when they arrived at the gate on the other side, the situation confirmed Qin Cheng's guess.

This city gate, like the place where you enter the city, is still grand and impressive.

But this time, except for the main city gate which was still not open, the four side gates on both sides were all closed.

"There's someone over there."

When he reached the city gate on this side, Qin Cheng noticed that there were many guys covering their faces sitting cross-legged next to the city gate.

Moreover, they are all monks.

This was the first time everyone saw the guy who entered the city early after entering the city.

As for the identity of the other party, it is easy to identify. The people in the city are all mortals. They have no aura of cultivation, and their clothes are completely different from those of the Kyushu monks.

As for these guys, you can tell at a glance that they are cultivators.

Seeing Qin Cheng and others approaching, the monks sitting cross-legged in twos and threes also raised their heads one after another and looked at everyone.

"There are actually so many people here who arrived earlier than us." Wang Sheng muttered.

"What's so strange about this? The location we were at was not the closest to the city, and we passed by the area where the demon birds were on the way. It's normal for others to arrive first." Elder Jing shook his head slightly.

It has been more than twenty days since Xingzun announced the three inheritance places.

Although everyone is also rushing towards the city, they are collecting things while moving forward. If someone abandons everything and moves forward, or is closer to their original location, they will naturally be able to get here earlier.

Although the two parties looked at each other, they did not speak to each other.

The Mingzhou cultivators then walked to the closed city gate.

Although the gate here is closed, there are still guards guarding the city.

"Guys, I want to leave the city, but I don't know how to leave." Qin Cheng asked.

"The city gate is temporarily closed and no one is allowed to enter or exit." The city guard captain responded with a straight face.

"Then I don't know when it will be opened?" Qin Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I don't know."

"If we want to leave, are there any other ways?"

"The city gate is temporarily closed and no one is allowed to enter or exit."

No matter how Qin Cheng asked questions, the old-fashioned city defender would only answer these two sentences, just like the pedestrians or vendors he met in the city.

It seems that everyone in this city only speaks according to certain words.

Can only enter but not exit?

This result also made Qin Cheng frown slightly.

But at this moment, even if he dispersed his consciousness, he could not pass through the gate and the wall, as if he was completely restricted within the city.

"Fellow Taoists, I advise you not to waste any effort. No matter what I ask, this guy only said these two sentences, which are of no value at all."

Seeing Qin Cheng and others also hitting a wall, one of the old men sitting cross-legged on the side hummed.

"If I could find a way out here, I wouldn't wait here anymore."

Everyone else also chuckled and agreed.

"Fellow Taoist, may I ask how many gates there are in this strange city?" Zheng Ling said with cupped hands.

The old man smiled and stroked his beard, but said nothing.

"Fellow Taoist, I am new here and don't know much about it. If you are willing to help, I would like to thank you very much."

Seeing this, Qin Cheng waved his hand and threw a storage bag directly over.

He grabbed the storage bag in his hand and explored the contents with his spiritual consciousness. The old man's eyes suddenly lit up slightly.

"It's easy to talk about. We are all Jiuzhou monks, and we should take care of each other."

Seeing Qin Cheng on the road, and specifically pointed out that he would like to express his gratitude, the smile on the old man's face immediately became brighter.

"If you want to know the situation here, just ask me. There are not many people who entered this city earlier than me."

Under the envious eyes of others, the old man stood up and walked over.

"I wonder what you call fellow Taoist?" Qin Cheng said.

"Just call me Mr. Li."

The old man said casually, it seemed that this name was spoken casually.

"If you want to ask how many gates there are in this strange city, you are asking the right person. I have traveled throughout the city before and know it very well. There are only two gates in total, one in the south and one in the north." Li Daoren stretched out his words.

Pointed out two fingers and said.

"That's it, and the one where we come in?" Zheng Ling frowned.

"That's right, so you don't have to waste any more time. If you want to get out of the city, you can only go this way."

"This way is blocked, can we return from the original route?" Elder Jing said.

"Of course you can leave here, but I guess if you plan to go back, you want to find another place to bypass this place." Li Daoren seemed to understand everyone's thoughts and smiled slightly.

"Everyone, I advise you not to waste this time."

"Why?"

"Have you seen that fellow Taoist? He entered this place with me. After feeling that this place was strange, he planned to take a detour to the inheritance place. As a result... there were void barriers all around. He flew thousands of miles and couldn't find it.

You can pass through the place, but in the end you have to come back and think of a solution here again.”

Li Daoren pointed at a middle-aged man sitting sullenly in the distance, shook his head and said.

"Besides, he is not the only one who does this kind of thing. The situation is the same on both sides of the city. Oh, by the way, if you enter at this time, the forest should be a little weird."

"You mean that ghost demon still has chaotic directions?"

"That's right. In fact, those things were not available when we came here more than ten days ago. In the past few days, I only heard that there was a problem in the forest."

"Didn't you have it when you came in?"

All the cultivators in Mingzhou were surprised.

This group of people came in twos and threes and looked like a group of casual or solitary monks. I was still wondering how they passed through the forest, but it turned out that the forest had changed.

"I think this is the advantage of being one step ahead. This venerable man does things fairly and we are the first to arrive. Naturally, we have the advantage of being first."

Li Daoren seemed to know this place very well, with a smile on his face.

"Think about it, everyone, outside this strange city, there are many strange formations arranged in the forest, but the inside of the city is still the same. If we can go around here without passing through, does Xing Zun still have to put in the effort to arrange it?"

After saying this, the expressions of Elder Jing and others changed.

Xingzun spent a lot of effort to arrange the test, but in the end, this place can be bypassed at will, which is indeed impossible.

"So I guess, except for the four cities marked on this map, there is no place that can pass through this place." Li Daoren said firmly.

"If you want to leave here, it must be related to some secrets in the city."

"What you are saying, fellow Taoist, is that there is a puzzle in this strange city. Only the one who solves it can leave the city and go to the inheritance place before others?" Qin Cheng said calmly.

"Fellow Taoist is aware of it. I think this must be the case, but no one has found any clues yet." Taoist Li said with a smile.
