Not only was the old man looking at Shen Xiang in surprise, the people in front of the old man also turned their heads when they heard Shen Xiang's words, and looked at Shen Xiang with surprised eyes, making Shen Xiang feel very uncomfortable.
"We are queuing here, of course we are going to enter the city!" said the old man.
"It's so late... why don't you go in during the day?" Shen Xiang felt that he was already a strange person, so he continued to ask.
"The city gates are only opened at night, because during the day... it's too dangerous!" The old man sighed, "We are all from some nearby cities, and those cities have been breached by that thing."
Shen Xiang immediately looked around. He didn't expect that such a thing would happen in Xuanhuang now. The city was attacked by a very powerful creature.
"What kind of thing is that?" Shen Xiang asked again.
"Black-haired people, we don't know why there are such things. Anyway, many cities are destroyed, and only this city that uses the power of the mysterious way to set up the barrier has not been destroyed." The old man sighed, "Those black-haired people usually don't come out at night, so we all come to line up at night."
Shen Xiang now understood that the energy contained in the Taoist energy here was called the power of Xuan Dao. When he thought about it, he found it incredible that there was such a strange power.
"Then why hasn't the door been opened yet?" Shen Xiang asked again.
"Because the people inside are discussing whether to let us in!" the old man said, "And there are conditions for entering, not everyone can enter."
Shen Xiang now understood why these people were dressed so decently, it was to be able to enter this city to seek refuge!
These people are all very powerful, most of them are in Dao Po realm, and some are even in the tenth level of Dao Po realm. However, they still have to enter the city to seek refuge, which shows how dangerous it is outside.
"If they don't open the door until daytime, we will have no choice but to hide here and there. If we are unlucky and are found by the black-haired people, we will be dead." The old man's face was full of fear.
Shen Xiang looked at the other people, and when they heard the words "black-haired man", their faces were filled with fear, which shows how terrifying the black-haired man is.
Shen Xiang was also standing behind the old man at this time, waiting for the city to open. He wanted to go inside to learn more.
"Grandpa, what about the three major banks? Aren't they very powerful? Don't they have any way to deal with the black-haired people?" Shen Xiang asked.
The old man shook his head and said, "No, they are all in trouble. Many banks have been destroyed. Strangely enough, those black-haired people attacked with a purpose. I heard that when the black-haired people first broke out, once they entered the city, they first destroyed the three major banks."
"Is that so!" Shen Xiang was also thinking about something. This was definitely not a coincidence. He suspected that it might be another punishment, deliberately weakening the power of the three major banks.
He lined up with the old man and asked the old man what the power of Xuan Dao was. The old man said that it was a unique power of Xuan Huang. They had also practiced it, but they didn't think of using it to set up formations. They also didn't know that the black-haired people were very afraid of this power. If their cities had barriers formed by this power, the cities would not have fallen one by one.
"How to practice? Why can't I absorb it to practice?" Shen Xiang asked again.
"What's wrong with you? There is no one in Xuanhuang who doesn't know this. You can't be from other wastelands!" The old man's words once again attracted the attention of many people. They all knew that they could not leave Xuanhuang now. If they could get out, they would not have to come here.
"I don't know. I was here when I woke up!" Shen Xiang pretended to be stupid. He felt that if he told this group of people that he was an outsider, there would definitely be trouble.
"It seems that you have gone astray during your cultivation and your brain has been damaged. How pitiful." The old man sighed, "To cultivate the power of the Mysterious Dao, you need to use fire. Generally, you absorb the power into the body, and then filter it out through the body. Then, you force the power into a furnace. After it is burned by the flame, it can be transformed into a golden mist, and then you can absorb it for cultivation."
Shen Xiang nodded, and at this moment someone suddenly shouted: "Open the door!"
The door was opened, but it was not the main door, but a very small doorway. Many people were very excited. They had all prepared to hide, but they did not expect the door to open.
"Come one by one. If you are not qualified, you cannot enter the city!" More than ten people walked out of the small door, and they were all very strong.
"You are quite strong! Once you enter our city, you will have to protect our city. First, you must join our team to hunt down the black-haired people." A man said, "Don't worry, we know the weaknesses of the black-haired people, and we will definitely train you by then!"
As long as I can get in, it's better than being outside!
"Test your cultivation one by one, and those who pass can enter." An old man said, and then everyone lined up and began to test their cultivation.
They all put their hands on a crystal ball. When the crystal ball flashes, they pass and can enter the city.
Shen Xiang observed for a while and found that everyone could make the crystal ball glow. He felt that this was not very difficult.
After a while, Shen Xiang suddenly heard a weak voice coming from the front: "I... I am at the tenth level of Dao Dan Realm, and I will soon reach Dao Po Realm, so let me in!"
The person who spoke was a girl in plain clothes, who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old. She was very pretty, and her pretty face was full of grievance, making her look pitiful.
"No, there is a requirement from above that no one below the Dao Po realm can be allowed in!" The old man was very indifferent and pushed the girl aside.
"I have jade coins, so let me in and I will give you 1 billion jade coins." The girl was anxious, and her delicate voice became louder.
"The three major banks are all gone, what's the use of jade coins!" the old man sneered.
The girl was standing nearby, biting her lower lip, tears in her eyes, looking very pitiful, but no one spoke for her at this time. They were all worried that they would anger these people and not be able to enter the city.
The girl did not leave either, but begged desperately. If she could not go in, she would surely die outside with her strength. Moreover, she was only in her teens and had no survival experience. At this moment, she was filled with fear of the outside world.
Now it was Shen Xiang's turn, and he passed the test.
"Can we let her go in with us?" Shen Xiang said to the old man, pointing at the girl with tears on her face.
"No, if you say one more word, forget about going in." The old man snorted coldly.
This old man's cultivation is very high. Shen Xiang guessed that he was at the Dao Master level, so even if Shen Xiang was very angry, he couldn't fight him.
"Then I won't go in!" Shen Xiang couldn't bear to see the girl alone outside, so he walked over, held the girl's hand, and gave up the opportunity to go into the city.
"Little sister, I'm here with you, don't be afraid!" Shen Xiang lovingly wiped the tears from the girl's beautiful face.
