The City of Sin.
Weiyang led Li Chen to the top floor.
It's snowing heavily outside right now.
The howling wind whipped at Li Chen's thin body, and strands of white hair were still disheveled in his long hair.
"Phew~"
"It's so cold. I should have asked Jiaojiao-jie for a coat."
Weiyang pouted and muttered softly.
She wasn't tall, almost a head shorter than Li Chen, and had a long ponytail. She looked rather cute.
However, Li Chen's gaze was not on her, but rather on his surroundings, or rather, on the City of Sin.
Although it was said to be a place for imprisoning criminals.
But this is a city, and its reputation is terrible.
However, it now seems to be similar to an ordinary city.
It's called imprisonment, but it's really just to keep these criminal Sequence User in line and to make them useful for guarding the gate. It's already quite good that they've made the greatest contribution before they die.
The entire city was covered in snow.
There were still quite a few people walking on the street, but the way they looked at Li Chen was unusually sharp.
It was as if they were treating him like a lamb to be slaughtered at any moment.
Weiyang tugged at Li Chen's arm and said, "Come on, come on, it's too cold standing in the snow."
Ignore those mediocre people.
"They're all a bunch of good-for-nothings who look down on others."
Li Chen nodded, somewhat curious about how this City of Sin differed from other prisons.
In retrospect, these people are no different from ordinary people; they're just imprisoned in a city.
Weiyang walked ahead, eating a lollipop.
Li Chen followed behind, pausing every now and then, because this city seemed truly different to him.
The Ruined Pass was deserted.
The Canghai Pass was bustling with activity.
This place is very ordinary, so ordinary that it's almost unnatural.
Weiyang thought Li Chen was a little scared, "Let's go, the City of Sin isn't as scary as you think."
"It's just that the rumors circulating outside have made things look bad!"
Most of the people here are actually quite honest.
Li Chen nodded, his thoughts drifting off to who-knows-where.
What exactly is his situation right now?
Why should someone be locked up here for a year? Who outside wouldn't want to get out?
Could it be Instructor Yu?
No... it shouldn't be, after all, Instructor Yu knows my character and many of my secrets.
If you know you've done something wrong, you'll probably be the first one arrested.
Who could it be?
Could it be a layer of protection?
To protect oneself by locking oneself in prison?
As Li Chen pondered this, the two of them found themselves standing before an ancient, black building.
Weiyang smiled and said, "Let's go in."
You should know this place.
Seeing the words "Strange Pavilion" carved on the ancient building, he naturally knew what it meant.
I just didn't expect to get in this way.
The two went inside.
The moment you step inside, you're greeted by the aroma of wine.
There were very few people inside; it was like a tavern.
Weiyang was clearly a regular; as soon as they entered, someone noticed the two of them and teased them.
"Oh ho? Weiyang brought his girl?"
"A piece of trash like you, you weren't dug out of that ditch, were you?"
Weiyang glared at the man, then turned and tried to pull Li Chen inside quickly.
But Li Chen remained unmoved, coldly glancing at the man, and spoke.
He called you trash, didn't you fight back?
Weiyang remained silent... then released Li Chen's arm and said, "That's just how this city is; the weak have no right to argue."
"And I am the weak one."
"Any rebuttal is wrong."
Li Chen nodded and said, "Indeed, the weak have no right to refute."
He naturally understood that his previous experiences had taught him many lessons.
The weak have the right to refute, but only if they are prepared to pay the price for doing so.
The reason he came to this City of Sin ultimately boils down to his own weakness.
But right now, this person wasn't just cursing the little girl, but also slandering him. He didn't want to cause trouble, after all, this was an unfamiliar environment.
The approach needs to change. This is no longer a comfortable academy, but rather a border where death could occur at any moment.
That's why he has the concept of the strong, because only the strong can avoid being insulted or slandered, especially when everything is unknown to him.
After you do something, you need to bear the consequences. All of this depends on whether you are a strong person.
Weiyang lowered her head and whispered, "Let's go."
Li Chen took a step forward, and an extremely strong aura erupted from his thin body.
Everyone was taken aback by this sudden turn of events.
They all looked over.
Li Chen remained silent, merely glancing at the crowd before turning his gaze away, and said calmly, "Three at the Withered Sea Realm... most are at the Looking River Realm."
"Very weak."
"The weak have no right to criticize others."
A black blade of light instantly appeared beside the man who had been making the sarcastic remarks.
With a "whoosh" sound.
Suddenly, it was chopped off, and an arm was severed.
Blood spurted out.
Li Chen glanced at Weiyang, who was standing there dumbfounded, and said coldly, "Let's go."
From the moment he emerged from underground.
His observations were not entirely useless.
This city adopted the Heavenly Eye System that Gu Cheng had mentioned before at the Ruined Pass.
Unless someone dies, no one will know what happened here.
Qin Jiao's claim that her ability could attract the executives was just a trick to fool him.
Therefore, Li Chen knew everything clearly; he just wanted to try and see if it was possible.
This opportunity just happened to come along.
As for the Heavenly Eye System, Gu Cheng had told him a lot about it before, but most of the time Gu Cheng ridiculed the system as garbage.
In his eyes, absorbing energy from the Ruined Pass was the best way to achieve self-sufficiency.
"Let's go..." Weiyang was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and walked forward, though her body was trembling slightly.
Li Chen glanced at the shocked looks on the faces of the people around him, but ignored them.
No one was foolish enough to stop him; from the moment he made his move, he had already maximized his deterrent effect.
A normal person wouldn't try to stop someone stronger than themselves, because that's human nature.
Moreover, in a place like this, anyone could be an enemy.
From every word Weiyang uttered, Li Chen had already learned a part of the City of Sin of Sin.
With Weiyang's familiarity with the area, the two went up to the second floor.
A woman dressed in an exceptionally alluring manner, with a fox-like face, seemed to have been waiting for a long time and came forward to greet them.
"Weiyang, come, sit down."
"And this gentleman."
She's very clever; she must have seen what was happening below.
He immediately came to greet the two of them as soon as they came up.
Weiyang's expression remained largely unchanged as she said, "Old fox, stop pretending."
"I'm just here to help my friend with the paperwork."
Don't look at me like that.
"The Tower of Sin won't help you get there."
