Nie Tian's expression changed when he saw the man's agitated expression. He was puzzled.
Why was the man suddenly interested in the Heaven Ascension Token in his hand?
He had absorbed the barrier energy in the Heaven Ascension Token the moment he entered the Heaven Ascension Formation.
In other words, the Heaven Ascension Token was completely useless now.
Therefore, he kept the Heaven Ascension Token on him and did not even store it in his Spatial Ring.
"Who gave you the Heaven Ascension Token personally?" The man in gray asked again when he saw that Nie Tian was not speaking. This time, he used a threatening tone.
"The Seventh Sect Leader, Purple Bamboo Mist." Nie Tian frowned and said Purple Bamboo Mist's name.
"Purple Bamboo Mist!" The man in gray's eyes widened when he heard the name. His entire body trembled as if he was extremely agitated.
"Mm?" Nie Tian was taken aback. He frowned and asked, "You know the Sect Leader?"
"Kid, give me the Heaven Ascension Token in your hand!" The man in gray frowned and said in a Cold tone.
Nie Tian was puzzled. He did not dare to provoke the man in front of him, so he tossed the Heaven Ascension Token over.
"Mist, it's Mist's aura!" The man in gray caught the Heaven Ascension Token with an ecstatic look on his face. He screamed as if he had gone mad.
Nie Tian's frown deepened. He thought to himself, "It seems like this man has a special relationship with the Sect Leader. He can recognize the Sect Leader's aura from the Heaven Ascension Token."
The Heaven Ascension Token was given to Nie Tian by Purple Bamboo Mist. The fact that the man in gray could sense Purple Bamboo Mist's aura from the token meant that he had a special relationship with Purple Bamboo Mist.
"Mm? Something's not right! " But in the next moment, Nie Tian frowned as he suddenly thought of something. He sent his divine sense into the Heaven Ascension Token in the gray-robed man's hand and exclaimed, "Lord Sect Leader intentionally left his aura in the Heaven Ascension Token!"
In an instant, he understood.
The reason why the man in gray could sense Purple Bamboo Mist's aura was because the latter had purposely left her aura in the token.
If Purple Bamboo Flowing Mist was really just a passing token, its aura would have disappeared long ago. Why would it linger for so long?
Then, Nie Tian suddenly thought of something. His eyes suddenly darkened as he looked at the gray-robed man. His expression changed as he said, "I know who you are!"
"Hmm?" The grey-robed man's face darkened, and he put away the Ascension Token. He looked at Nie Tian with a murderous look and asked Who am I? "
"Mu Hongliu!" Nie Tian's lips twitched as he uttered the name word by word.
Mu Hongliu, this was the name Nie Tian had heard before: Purple Bamboo Flowing Mist's husband!
On the surface, Purple Bamboo Mist wanted Nie Tian to participate in the Path to Heaven so that he could bring glory to the Seventh Sect, but in reality, he wanted to use him to enter the Heaven Ascension Realm to save someone, Mu Hongliu.
The Three Supremes told Nie Tian that Purple Bamboo Wolf Seven had imprisoned Mu Hongliu in the Path to Heaven, which was also known as the Heaven Ascension Realm.
When Purple Bamboo Flowing Mist had obtained the eight Ascension Tokens, she must have injected her aura into the tokens. She might have even injected something else into them.
However, Nie Tian did not think too much about it at that time, so he did not notice it at all.
Now that he had met Mu Hongliu, he finally understood everything.
"You really know me!" When the grey-clothed man heard Nie Tian say his name, his aged face suddenly changed, and his expression became very complicated.
Nie Tian was right. The man in gray was none other than Purple Bamboo Flowing Mist's husband, Mu Hongliu!
Mu Hongliu was not one of the martial artists who had participated in the Path to Heaven. He had been imprisoned in the Heaven Ascension Realm by Purple Bamboo Wolf Seven!
He never thought that when he was imprisoned in the Heaven Ascension Realm, he would actually be able to receive Purple Bamboo Flowing Mist's message.
"Little brother, what is your relationship with Flowing Mist?" Mu Hongliu calmed down and asked.
Nie Tian did not hide it and said, "Senior Mu, I am from the Seventh Sect. Master Purple Bamboo Flowing Mist is the Sect Leader of the Seventh Sect. I was ordered by the Sect Leader to participate in the Path to Heaven, so I came to the Heaven Ascension Realm. "
"The Seventh Sect." Mu Hongliu frowned and said, "So Flowing Mist is the Sect Leader of the Seventh Sect now. It seems that many things have happened after I was imprisoned by my sworn brother. "
"Sworn brother?" Nie Tian was stunned when he heard Mu Hongliu's words. He asked in surprise, "Senior Mu is the Sect Leader's sworn brother?"
"Yes." Mu Hongliu nodded and let out a long sigh. Clearly, he had recalled many things and his expression became complicated.
"This …" Nie Tian looked at Mu Hongliu and his expression froze. He was speechless.
Mu Hongliu was Purple Bamboo Wolf Seven's sworn brother and Purple Bamboo Flowing Mist's husband. Purple Bamboo Wolf Seven was Purple Bamboo Wolf Seven's biological brother.
The relationship between the three should be the closest.
However, why would Purple Bamboo Wolf Seven imprison Mu Hongliu?
Mu Hongliu's current state was very strange. His body was bent like a ball, like a man on the brink of death.
It was obvious that he was suppressed by some kind of curse, which was why he was in this state.
What exactly did he do to make Purple Bamboo Wolf Seven so angry that he imprisoned him in the Heaven-Ascension Realm?
At the same time, Nie Tian was interested to know what Purple Bamboo Wolf Seven had left in the Heaven-Ascension Badge.
"Senior Mu, I was actually ordered by the Sect Leader to rescue you." At that moment, Nie Tian's eyes flickered and he said in a deep voice.
Mu Hongliu looked at Nie Tian and frowned, "Little Brother, don't lie to me. How could I not tell that you were being used? But judging from your reaction, you should know something. "
"I still have to thank you for your kindness. But I won't leave this place. "
"You won't leave?" Nie Tian frowned and asked in surprise, "Why?"
Mu Hongliu had been imprisoned here for god knows how long. Now that he had the chance to leave, he actually refused to do so. This was too strange.
Could it be that being imprisoned was also addictive?
Mu Hongliu let out a wry smile and said, "My sworn brother has treated me well. He's already being very lenient by imprisoning me here. If I escape on my own, it will make things difficult for him. "
As he spoke, Mu Hongliu let out a magnanimous smile and looked at Nie Tian, "Little Brother, please go back and tell Liu Lan that I'm fine. Tell her not to worry about me, and don't hold any grudges against my sworn brother."
"As long as the truth of what happened back then is revealed, I will go out and meet her."
Nie Tian frowned, a speechless expression on his face.
This Mu Hongliu was quite interesting. He was clearly imprisoned, but he still spoke up for the person who imprisoned him.
This was child's play. He was very curious about what exactly happened back then.
"Senior Mu, if I may be so bold as to ask, what exactly did you do back then to infuriate the Sect Leader to the point of imprisoning you?" Nie Tian pondered for a moment and couldn't help but ask in the end.
"Sigh!" Mu Hongliu let out a long sigh after hearing Nie Tian's question and said, "Back then, my sworn brother gave me the most important item of the Ten Thousand Layer Mountain Sect to protect. However, I failed in my duty and caused the sacred item of the sect to be stolen. "
"Speaking of which, I've let my sworn brother down. I've let him down! "
"Hmm?" Nie Tian frowned, confusion filling his face.
