"The middle-aged man who attacked Xie Tao is at least an Early-stage Saint!"
On the second floor of the Square Restaurant, Zhao Guocheng sat in his room with a grave expression.
Because Zhang Qiang's aura was only released from his room on the fourth floor, Zhao Guocheng didn't know Zhang Qiang's exact cultivation level.
However, from the fight between Zhang Qiang and Xie Tao, Zhao Guocheng could tell that Zhang Qiang was an Early-stage Saint.
"That Ning Yue is only an Early-stage Sky Supreme. How could he defeat Xie Tao in one move? Could he be a reincarnated monster? Like Yun Mu? "
Zhao Guocheng's thoughts didn't linger on Zhang Qiang for long. He quickly shifted his attention to Ning Yue.
Compared to Zhang Qiang's cultivation level, Zhao Guocheng was more curious about Ning Yue's battle prowess.
No matter how he looked at it, it was a little exaggerated for a Early-stage Sky Supreme to defeat a pinnacle Sky Supreme.
At the very least, none of the people Zhao Guocheng knew could do it!
"I'll give the key to Ning Yue first. I should return to the City Lord's Mansion as soon as possible and discuss with Elder Tianji and the others what to do next."
Zhao Guocheng looked at the closed door, got up, and walked out of the room.
Creak!
Zhao Guocheng hadn't taken a few steps when the door was pushed open from the outside.
Zhao Guocheng was stunned when he saw the young man standing at the door. "You're here. I was just about to go look for you."
As he spoke, Zhao Guocheng reached into his robe and took out the key to open the bronze door and handed it to Ning Yue.
"There's no hurry."
Ning Yue waved his hand, indicating that Zhao Guocheng didn't need to hurry.
"Eh?"
Zhao Guocheng was slightly stunned. He was a little confused.
You're the one who asked for the key, and you're the one who said there's no hurry.
What does that mean?
Ning Yue didn't care what Zhao Guocheng was thinking. He walked to a chair and sat down.
Then, Ning Yue looked at Zhao Guocheng without saying anything.
Seeing Ning Yue's actions, Zhao Guocheng swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Ning Yue and Zhao Guocheng didn't say anything. For a moment, the room became quiet, so quiet that it was a little scary.
Drip! Drip!
As time passed, beads of sweat appeared on Zhao Guocheng's forehead.
On the other hand, Ning Yue was calm and composed, without any signs of discomfort.
"Ning Yue."
After another ten minutes, Zhao Guocheng finally couldn't take it anymore and said, "I still have something to do in the City Lord's Mansion. How about I give you the key first?"
"Well, put it on the table." Ning Yue gently knocked on the table and said.
After receiving Ning Yue's confirmation, Zhao Guocheng hurriedly took out the key and threw it on the table.
After throwing the spoon on the table, Zhao Guocheng stood up and walked out of the room.
"Go back and tell the Elder of Heavenly Secrets and Yun Mu that cooperation is cooperation. I do not wish to be schemed against by others."
The moment Zhao Guocheng's right foot stepped out of the room, Ning Yue's voice rang in his ears.
After a brief moment of silence, Zhao Guocheng strode out and disappeared from Ning Yue's sight.
Buzz!
Not long after Zhao Guocheng left, the space beside Ning Yue fluctuated and a middle-aged man appeared.
"Did you get any useful information from him?" Ning Yue asked with his eyes narrowed.
"There's a seal in his sea of consciousness. I don't dare to devour his memories." Zhang Qiang shook his head and answered honestly.
"Follow Zhao Guocheng to the City Lord's Mansion. Protect him at the same time to prevent him from being targeted by the Heavenly Dragon Empire."
After thinking about it, Ning Yue decided to let Zhang Qiang follow Zhao Guocheng.
Since he could find the Square Restaurant, it meant that the Heavenly Dragon Empire already knew about his contact with Zhao Guocheng.
On the surface, the Heavenly Dragon Empire still had one Initial Stage Saint and two Pinnacle Saint Realm cultivators.
Even if they only sent a Pinnacle Heavenly Supreme, they could easily capture Zhao Guocheng.
Although Zhao Guocheng looked useless, he wasn't.
Zhao Guocheng couldn't die before he was sure that the key in his hand could open the bronze gate!
Swish!
After receiving the order, Zhang Qiang's figure flickered and disappeared.
After Zhang Qiang disappeared, Ning Yue called An Haoping and the white-haired old man out.
An Haoping's cultivation was still in the Late Stage Saint Realm, but the white-haired old man's cultivation had dropped to the Initial Stage Saint Realm.
It could be seen that the white-haired old man was in a terrible situation.
"Ning Yue, give me half a Celestial Ascension Grass. I need it!"
The white-haired old man looked at Ning Yue as if he had seen a life-saving straw. "As long as you give me half a Celestial Ascension Grass, I'll tell you a big secret!"
The white-haired old man was in a sorry state right now.
If he didn't have the Celestial Ascension Grass, his cultivation might be stuck at the Initial Stage Saint Realm for the rest of his life.
The side effect of using his trump card was completely exposed!
"An Haoping, guard the Square Restaurant."
Ning Yue ignored the white-haired old man and said to An Haoping, "Inform me immediately if anyone suspicious is approaching."
"Understood."
An Haoping responded, then tore open the void and dived in.
"Tell me what the secret is first."
After watching An Haoping leave, Ning Yue turned to stare at the white-haired old man and said calmly, "If the secret is big enough, I can consider giving you some Celestial Ascension Grass."
"Give me the Celestial Ascension Grass first!" The white-haired old man gritted his teeth.
"Humph!"
Ning Yue harrumphed coldly. "Don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!"
"Alright." The white-haired old man chose to compromise after being rebuked by Ning Yue. "The reason why I was trapped in the dungeon of the Emperor Palace instead of being killed by the founder of the Emperor Palace is that I know of a place where the Celestial Spirit Source Energy is!"
"The founder of the Emperor Palace is called Emperor Mo. He is currently at that place."
Ning Yue listened quietly because he knew that the white-haired old man would definitely tell him where the place was.
As expected, when the white-haired old man saw that Ning Yue had no reaction, he could only continue. "That place is the Thousand Demons Ridge!"
When the words' Myriad Devils Ridge 'came out of the white-haired old man's mouth, Ning Yue's expression gradually turned solemn.
Ning Yue had heard of the Thousand Demons Ridge before. It was known as one of the three most terrifying places in the Celestial Spirit Realm.
It was rumored that there were many peerless villains buried in the Thousand Demons Ridge. Although those peerless villains were already dead, their skeletons were still intact.
Moreover, the skeletons of those peerless villains also possessed terrifying combat power!
Of course, peerless villains were not the reason why Ning Yue's expression was solemn.
Ning Yue's expression was solemn because the Human Demon had mentioned the Thousand Demons Ridge when he was chatting with him.
The Human Demon had personally said that there was a passage to a high-level plane within the Thousand Demons Ridge!
In other words, from the deepest part of the Thousand Demons Ridge, one could directly reach a high-level plane!
As for how to pass through that passage, Ning Yue had no idea.
Now that he heard the Thousand Demons Ridge again, Ning Yue's expression naturally turned solemn.
"Can you give me the Celestial Ascension Grass now?"
