Ji Tongtian was a little surprised when he thought that Su Yi could cross the current Demon Subduing Mountain range alone.
Such a young man was really powerful. He could actually cross the current Demon Subduing Mountain range alone.
He had sent a small team into the Demon Subduing Mountain range before, but there was only one cultivator who returned.
From the looks of it, he seemed to have been infected by the demonic energy. He was extremely crazy and had lost his mind.
From that moment on, he had sealed off the Demon Subduing Mountain range. After gathering the forces of the great desolate, he would once again explore and completely eliminate the source of this evil.
Right now, there was a person who could pass through the Demon Subduing Mountain range alive and unharmed in front of him. How could he let Su Yi off?
Hence, he kept the envelope in his hand. After which, he spoke in a faint voice to stop Su Yi from leaving.
"Su Yi, wait a moment."
He originally wanted to leave after throwing the envelope to the city lord of the Central Plains City.
However, he did not expect that Ji Tongtian's voice would appear behind him just as he turned around.
He turned around and looked at Ji Tongtian as he spoke in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "City Lord Ji, do you have any other important matters?"
The other party nodded his head gently. After which, he placed his hands behind his back and spoke indifferently, "come with me. There are some matters that I wish to discuss with you."
The city lord of the Central Plains City had to admit that this was a man with a position that was recognized by the Tiandao.
His every action was domineering and restrained, but his aura was extremely powerful.
Su Yi did not say anything in response. The other party was the city lord of a large city. It was already very rare for him to be able to speak to him in such a manner.
A gentle and refined man and a handsome and handsome youth could be seen, as the two of them slowly walked down the streets of Central Plains City together.
People came and went. Even if such a major event had happened on Demon Subduing Mountain, it still would not affect the status of the Central Plains City in the great desolate region.
After leaving the teleportation array that led to the Demon Subduing Mountain range, the cultivators on the streets were still as lively as ever.
After a while, City Lord Ji led Su Yi to a tea house.
Ji Tongtian actually called out to the shopkeeper inside. It seemed that he was a regular here and was very familiar with the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper obviously did not recognize that this gentle and refined man was the city lord of Central Plains City, whose strength was unfathomable.
Of course, this seemed to be very normal. After all, not everyone was able to meet the city lord. After all, some cultivators had been in Central Plains city for decades and had yet to meet Ji Tongtian.
Why was Su Yi not able to recognize the other party as the city lord at first glance? Did he not see that the elite soldiers all called him the city lord? In Central Plains City, who else was called the city lord?
However, Ji Tongtian's personality made Su Yi look at him in a new light. He did not expect that the originally high and mighty city lord had such a side to him.
"Why, are you very surprised?"
Ji Tongtian seemed to have noticed the change in Su Yi's expression. He looked at Su Yi with a light smile and asked indifferently.
Occasionally coming to the tea house to drink tea was just a hobby of his. Very few people knew about this hobby.
Hearing this, Su Yi looked at this gentle and refined city lord and slowly changed his impression from the first time.
He said with a slightly respectful tone.
"City..."
However, before he could say the words 'city Lord', he was interrupted by Ji Tongtian.
"Today, I'm not using that identity to have tea with you. Just treat me as an ordinary cultivator on the spot."
Hearing this, Su Yi was slightly startled. It was very obvious that Ji Tongtian did not expose his identity in this tea house.
After thinking for a moment, he changed his words.
"Senior Ji, may I know why you are looking for me?"
At this time, the two of them had already sat down on an elegant tea table.
Ji Tongtian, who had just sat down and was pouring tea, heard this and looked at Su Yi, then said indifferently, "it's not a small matter. You should know about the changes in the Demon Subduing Mountain range, right?"
Ji Tongtian's gaze was incomparably profound, as though he had seen through everything about Su Yi.
Hearing the city lord's words, his heart thumped, but he was also helpless.
Who asked him to be caught on the spot after coming out of the teleportation array? He could not even quibble.
He nodded slightly before asking, "Senior Ji, what exactly happened to the mutation in Demon Subduing Mountain?"
He looked at Ji Tongtian. As the city lord of the Central Plains City, perhaps he knew more than those aristocratic family factions.
Upon hearing this, Ji Tongtian sighed. His gaze was somewhat deep as he turned his head to look outside the tea house and said faintly, "Su Yi, have you heard of the Tian Yuan world?"
"I don't know."
He replied decisively. Although he knew what kind of existence the Tian Yuan world was previously in the underground palace, this matter could not be exposed.
Ji Tongtian seemed to have expected that Su Yi would not know. After all, from the information he had gathered, Su Yi was originally just a dark horse with no background.
Following that, Ji Tongtian slowly explained the matters of the Tian Yuan world to Su Yi. Finally, he talked about the great desolate region.
It was exactly the same as what the spirit body in the underground palace had said. The Tian Yuan world was originally a region, but it had been scattered by a supreme power, resulting in the central sky region and a few large regions being split.
Finally, Ji Tongtian told Su Yi the prophecy of the scroll of history in the city lord's residence.
Su Yi was stunned when he heard it.
The rumors of the ancient demon were very likely true. Otherwise, how could the matter of the demonic aura eroding be discussed?
However, it was unknown if the ancient demon still existed in the world.
After a while, Su Yi understood the ins and outs of the matter.
It was nothing more than the fact that the Demon Subduing Mountain had become extremely dangerous and might even affect the entire great desolate region. Hence, the city lord gathered his men to search for the source of all this.
"So senior, what do you mean?" He looked at Ji Tongtian with a serious gaze and asked faintly.
The city lord of Central Plains City had said so much in a roundabout manner. He definitely wanted him to do something. As expected, Su Yi still liked to interact with people like Qin Hao.
This city lord of the Central Plains was dawdling. Clearly, he wanted Su Yi to work for free.
Ji Tongtian's eyes looked at Su Yi as he spoke with a grave expression.
"Su Yi, it is likely that there is no one who understands the Demon Subduing Mountain range better than you. Moreover, you are able to cross the Demon Subduing Mountain range by yourself. This means that your strength is sufficient."
"Hence, I wish to invite you to follow me into the Demon Subduing Mountain range."
