There had been a precedent before. If they dared to delay any longer, their fates could be imagined.
Of course, there was a reason behind this matter, it was because of the relationship between Luo Hui and Ke Yao. But if they really had to question them about their crimes, then the ones who would be in trouble would definitely still be the few of them.
Therefore, the few guards of the Chen Family had extremely ugly expressions. If they didn't listen, then it would undoubtedly be offending Luo Family and Ke Family.
However, if they were to delay the closing of the door, then it was most likely a death sentence that was about to behead them.
"We don't want to make things difficult for you all, but you all know about the situation with Tiantang City. Once the city gates are closed, the surrounding Barrier will open and even a little Profound Mosquitoes won't be able to fly in." We don't want to make things difficult for you all, but you all know about the situation with Tiantang City. Luo Hui said.
While they were talking, Luo Hui waved to the two beasts in the distance, hoping that they could see his hand gesture so that they could speed up their journey.
"Master, that should be the man you saved right? What is he doing?" Just as Luo Hui was waving at the two with all his might, Ye Long's voice came out.
Of course, at the same time, the poison dragon's voice appeared in Qin Rouer's mind.
Since it had already obediently taken Qin Rouer as its master, it naturally had to perform well, or else its life might come to an end at any moment.
Besides, inside Qin Rouer's body, the Poison Dragon felt extremely comfortable, even more so than when he was in the Toxic Water pool.
Therefore, if one were to say that Ye Long recognizing Ye Xiu as his master back then was due to extreme regret and helplessness, then after the Poison Dragon sensed the current situation, it would secretly rejoice in its heart without a single trace of regret.
"Ye Xiu, that person seems to be urging us to hurry over, is he?" After Qin Rouer heard what the poison dragon said, she then noticed the man waving at them from afar.
"It should be. If I'm not mistaken, this city gate should be closing soon, so he told us to hurry over." Ye Xiu analyzed.
"Then let's hurry over." Qin Rouer said.
Of course, Qin Rouer already knew about the existence of the Nine Profound Exquisite Pagoda, so he would be fine even if he stayed outside the city for an entire night. If it was really dangerous, he would just stay inside the tower for the night.
"There's no need to rush. We don't have much time, so we can just slowly walk over." Ye Xiu said.
Ye Xiu did not know the rules of Tiantang City, so he thought that since they saw him and the rest, they would definitely not close the gates.
However, seeing that Ye Xiu and Yue Shan were still walking slowly towards the city gate, without any intentions to rush their pace, Luo Hui revealed a look of anxiousness.
At this time, the guards continued to push at the heavy door.
This city gate was made of a special material, so even if several people joined forces, they could only slowly push through.
This was also the reason. If they were to delay it, it would be too late to close the door if a Profound Beast appeared when nightfall arrived.
Although there were a lot of experts in the city, there were a few with low cultivation, so if Profound Beast s were to barge into the city, the number of casualties could not be predicted.
Therefore, for the safety of everyone within the city, they had to close the city gates every day when the time came. This was also why, at this time, there was not a single person outside the city other than Ye Xiu, Yue Yang, and the others.
Those who understood Tiantang City had either already left the city or obediently stayed in the city. There would never be anyone as slow as Ye Xiu.
"Young Master Luo, we are really going to close the city gate now. I'm sorry." When a guard saw that Ye Xiu and Yue Shan still had a few minutes, he couldn't wait any longer.
"How dare you!"
Hearing that, Luo Hui immediately scolded angrily.
Don't be angry yet, Luo Hui. You can discuss everything. This way, everyone can take a step back and close the city gate first. After all, it will take a few minutes for the city gate to completely close, but when the city gate is about to close, can you leave a space for one person?" When Ke Yao noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, she hurriedly called out for help.
"I have no problem with that, but what about you?" Luo Hui nodded in agreement with Ke Yao's suggestion.
As long as the city gate was not completely closed, the Barrier would not open it. As long as Luo Hui and the others could enter safely, nothing else mattered.
"Alright!"
The leader of the guards nodded before leading the rest of the guards to push open the gates to the city.
"Master, the city gates are closing bit by bit."
As a few guards pushed at the city gate with all their might, Ye Long's voice sounded.
"Ye Xiu, the city gate seems to be closing. Let's hurry up and go over." Just as Ye Long finished reminding them, Qin Rouer made a suggestion.
When he saw Qin Rouer and Ye Long discussing this problem at almost the same time, he was very satisfied with the Poison Dragon's performance. After all, only by constantly paying attention to the surrounding Blood Link Profound Beast would it qualify as a Profound Beast.
"Alright!"
Originally, Ye Xiu thought that since Luo Hui and the others had discovered them, the city gate would definitely wait until they had arrived before closing.
But now, the city gate had closed bit by bit without waiting for them to close, causing Ye Xiu to understand why he had waved at them with all his might earlier.
Just like this, with Ye Xiu's agreement, the two beasts sped up their pace.
Originally, they would need seven to eight minutes to travel, but with their speed, they didn't even need two minutes to arrive at the city gate.
At this time, there was still one more person at the gate that had slowly closed, so Ye Xiu and two other Sirius Dog quickly passed through.
"Benefactor Ye, you finally made it in time. You were just a bit off from being locked outside the city gates. If you couldn't get in, it would be very dangerous tonight."
Seeing Ye Xiu and the others smoothly enter the city, Luo Hui replied with a sigh of relief.
"I would like to ask, you have clearly seen us. Why are you still closing the city gates?" After Luo Hui finished speaking, Ye Xiu could not help but ask curiously.
Since he had seen it, what did it matter if he waited a little longer? How could he not wait?
"Benefactor, don't misunderstand. Our Tiantang City has a rule that every day, there is a specific time when we close the city gate. We absolutely cannot exceed that time." Luo Hui hurriedly explained.
"Specific time!"
Hearing Luo Hui's explanation, Ye Xiu nodded his head in understanding. Since there was a specific time to close the door, then even if he saw her, he would have to close the door as well.
"Benefactor, I am sorry. Although I have tried my best to delay them, they are not my Luo Family guardians, so my words were not very useful. It caused benefactor to almost be imprisoned outside the city gate." Luo Hui apologized.
Ye Xiu was his benefactor, yet the other party had come to his city but was locked outside the city gates. This was too disrespectful.
Fortunately, Ye Xiu had entered the city gate in time, if not Luo Hui did not know how to face this benefactor who had saved his life.
"Benefactor, it's really great that you two managed to come out of the Toxic Dragon Cave safe and sound. How is it? Luo Hui asked.
"Thank you for your concern. Everything is safe." Ye Xiu smiled and nodded.
"It's good that it's safe. Next time, don't go to that place again. There's a poisonous dragon there. If you meet it, you will definitely die." Luo Hui reminded.
After hearing that, Ye Xiu and Qin Rouer looked at each other, and revealed a slight smile.
"Yeah, we won't be going to that place anymore. Oh right, where can we buy a map? The bigger the better, the more detailed the better. It would be best if you could give me a map of the entire continent." Ye Xiu suddenly asked.
Since Luo Hui was living in the city, he definitely knew everything about the city like the back of his hand. Therefore, if he was here, Ye Xiu and the others wouldn't be like a headless fly that would fly around randomly.
Of course there is a map, but I don't think there is a complete map of the continent. The entire continent is very vast, and even if there was a map like that, it would be considered a treasure. Normally, this kind of map wouldn't be sold, because it would definitely cost a lot of effort to create such a map." "Luo Hui explained.
"That's fine, even the map is fine. We can avoid getting lost in the wilderness this way." Ye Xiu chuckled.
"Sir, it is already dark. Why don't you come home with me first? Why don't you wait until tomorrow to buy some things? "My dad really wants to see you." Luo Hui invited.
Although the sky was not completely dark, and besides, the city gate was already closed, and the Barrier had appeared in the surrounding area, so even if it was night time, the city was still very safe, so it was fine to walk around in the city at night.
It was just that Ye Xiu was Luo Hui's benefactor who saved his life. Furthermore, Luo Hui had already waited in front of the city gate for a long time.
"Hehe, you're too polite. Saving you is just a small matter. No need to be so grateful. I still want to buy a map first. After all, the main reason why we are looking for a city is to buy a map." Ye Xiu said with a smile.
Since he was already in the city, the first thing he had to do was finish what he needed to do, and then do other things.
Otherwise, if he forgot what he had planned to do, then when he thought about it again, wouldn't his trip to the city have been a waste?
"This ?"
Seeing that Ye Xiu was determined to first buy the map, Luo Hui revealed a look of hesitation.
However, since Ye Xiu wanted to go, then Luo Hui would naturally accompany him.
