As soon as Xiao Chen entered the room, he saw Tian Yue preparing to commit suicide. In a moment of desperation, Xiao Chen couldn't care less and shouted loudly. "Tian Yue!"
The familiar voice made Tianyue pause in her actions. She turned her head and when she saw Xiao Chen's familiar face appear in front of her, Tianyue finally couldn't hold on any longer. Tears instantly poured down her face as she cried out, "Xiao Chen, save me!"
As the First Saint of Nine Heavens, this was the first time Xiao Chen saw Tian Yue crying so sadly. Although Tian Yue had almost cried because of him, it was only a near cry. Now, however, tears kept falling from her eyes.
Xiao Chen's heart ached when he saw Tian Yue in such a state. However, now wasn't the time to talk about this. Xiao Chen immediately turned to look at the young man. At the same time, the young man looked at Xiao Chen fiercely and asked, "Are you the other newcomer?"
Naturally, the young man did not get a reply, because Xiao Chen had already made his move when the young man opened his mouth to speak. He quickly stepped forward and kicked the young man in the groin with all his might.
The young man's face instantly turned black and he couldn't help but kneel down. Xiao Chen seized the opportunity and tore the tablecloth beside him into pieces. Then, he tied the young man up tightly and stuffed a piece of cloth into the young man's mouth.
After doing all this, Xiao Chen heaved a sigh of relief and carefully closed the door. Only then did he have the time to look at Tian Yue.
The young man had been too careless tonight. He thought he could spend the night with Tian Yue, so he sent the surrounding guards away. He didn't have the habit of being eavesdropped on by others.
Because of the young man's action, the outside world didn't know what was happening in the room at all.
Xiao Chen easily subdued the young man. Although he didn't have any cultivation, it was easy for him to take down a young man who had been hollowed out by wine and women.
After Xiao Chen secretly relaxed, Tianyue suddenly threw herself into Xiao Chen's arms and said with a sobbing tone.
"Xiao Chen, I thought I would never see you again. Why are you only here now? I almost, almost …"
Her words were full of grievance. Xiao Chen did not expect that Tianyue, the number one Holy Maiden of the Nine Heavens, would be in such a state. However, seeing Tianyue crying so sadly, Xiao Chen still comforted her.
"Alright, alright. It's fine. I'm here now."
After some consolation, Tian Yue gradually calmed down. Subsequently, the two of them sat down on a chair. Tian Yue's face was still a little pale as she sat beside Xiao Chen. However, there was not much panic in her eyes and she had calmed down. Tian Yue was also a little curious about the Ninth Heaven. She looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"Xiao Chen, what do you think the Ninth Heaven means? How can we pass it? Besides, we don't have any cultivation anymore. "
"I think the Nine Heavens City itself is a test of the Ninth Heaven. If we want to pass the Ninth Heaven, the secret should be in the City Lord's Mansion." Hearing this, Xiao Chen told Tian Yue his guess.
With Xiao Chen beside her, Tian Yue quickly relaxed. Perhaps even she didn't notice that she had gotten used to relying on Xiao Chen.
The two of them chatted for a while. Then, Xiao Chen turned his gaze to the young man and said with a cold smile.
"This person is the City Lord's son?"
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Tian Yue replied fiercely. "That's right. They are a pair of dog father and son."
After learning the identity of the young man from Tian Yue, Xiao Chen's smile became even colder.
"So you are the City Lord's son. If that's the case, you should know a lot of things. For example, the secrets of the Nine Heavens City."
Hearing this and looking at the cold smile on Xiao Chen's face, the young man's heart trembled. He felt as if he was a wolf looking at a sheep.
He was the sheep, and Xiao Chen was the pack of hungry wolves that were emitting green light from both sides.
As if he was scared stiff, the young man didn't respond for a long time. Seeing this, Xiao Chen didn't mind and continued.
"I have a few questions. Now, I will ask and you will answer. Is that okay?"
There was still no response. The young man was still in a daze. Seeing this, Xiao Chen sighed helplessly. He turned around and snatched the scissors from Tian Yue's hand. He got up and slowly walked to the young man and squatted down.
"I wanted to have a good talk with you. However, it seems like you won't speak unless I use some tricks."
Saying this, Xiao Chen turned to Tian Yue and said, "If you feel disgusted, you can turn your head away."
After saying this, Xiao Chen didn't hesitate anymore. He directly pierced the scissors into the young man's thigh. Blood spurted out instantly. The young man's body couldn't help but tremble from the intense pain.
His mouth was gagged and the young man could only make muffled sounds.
It was definitely a cruel interrogation. Under Xiao Chen's various tricks, the young man was soon left with only one breath. His clothes were already stained red with blood.
After spending so much effort, Xiao Chen did get what he wanted from the young man.
According to the young man, the City Lord's Mansion had a history of countless years. Ever since the Nine Heavens City appeared, the City Lord's Mansion had always been occupied by the people of the City Lord's Mansion.
As for how the Nine Heavens City appeared, the young man didn't know. However, he told Xiao Chen that there was a mysterious stone hall in the City Lord's Mansion. This stone hall was deep in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion.
It was a pity that other than the City Lord himself, no one else could enter the stone hall.
Moreover, every time a new person appeared in the Nine Heavens City, the City Lord would be the first to know from the stone hall. According to the ancestral teachings of the City Lord's Mansion, once a new person appeared in the Nine Heavens City, they had to capture him at all costs and then imprison him.
Although no one knew the meaning of the ancestral teachings, the City Lords of the Nine Heavens City carried it out very seriously. It was a pity that no new person had entered the Nine Heavens City for many years. It was only today that Xiao Chen and Tian Yue appeared.
The young man didn't know much about the Nine Heavens City. He only knew about the ancestral teachings and the mysterious stone hall. However, after hearing this, Xiao Chen was even more certain that the Nine Heavens City and the City Lord's Mansion was a test left behind by the so-called Emperor. Back then, he must have moved a group of people here and used the power of a Great Sage to block their path of cultivation. He also set up a seal to seal the cultivation of everyone who entered the Nine Heavens City.
After that, he used the City Lord's Mansion to carry out the test. As for the mysterious stone hall, it might be the location of the Heavenly Emperor's Record. Even if it wasn't, it should be the door to the Heavenly Emperor's Record.
