"I told you."
Upon hearing the white-haired old man's words, Ning Yue's solemn expression eased a little and he said indifferently, "If the secret is big enough, I can consider giving you some Ascension Immortal Grass."
"What do you mean?"
The white-haired old man's expression changed and he asked in a deep voice.
In the white-haired old man's opinion, Ning Yue did not want to give him the Ascension Immortal Grass, so he used this excuse to brush him off.
The Origin Source was in the Thousand Demons Ridge.
If this kind of information could not be considered a big secret, then what was?
"Nothing."
Ning Yue shrugged and continued, "I already know about the Thousand Demons Ridge. I don't need you to tell me."
"Although you know about the Thousand Demons Ridge, you don't know that the Origin Source is there!"
The white-haired old man was almost roaring.
Fortunately, Ning Yue had set up a soundproof array around the room. Otherwise, the white-haired old man's roar would have been heard by others.
"You're still hiding something from me."
Ning Yue suddenly felt that the white-haired old man seemed to have something that he was not telling him.
Just the Origin Source in the Thousand Demons Ridge would not be able to deceive the founder of Emperor God Palace.
"No."
The white-haired old man's eyes flickered and he did not dare to look into Ning Yue's eyes.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it. I still have something to do. You can reflect on yourself first."
Ning Yue stood up and walked out of the room.
Actually, people like the white-haired old man were definitely full of secrets.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Ning Yue would not kill him rashly.
After all, he obtained the Ascension Immortal Grass from the white-haired old man. Who knew, he might be able to get something from the white-haired old man in the future.
Therefore, Ning Yue's attitude towards the white-haired old man was not to kill him and let him cause trouble.
Of course, the white-haired old man could not even protect himself now. Even if he was asked to cause trouble, he did not have the ability to!
Looking at Ning Yue's back view, the white-haired old man's eyes were slightly dazed and he looked very conflicted.
He wanted to tell Ning Yue his secret in exchange for the Ascending Immortal Grass, but his heart was extremely unwilling!
Even when he was trapped in the dungeon by the founder of the Emperor Palace, he did not reveal the secret in his heart. Instead, he found an excuse to trick the founder of the Emperor Palace into going to the Myriad Demons Ridge.
Now, he would definitely not be willing to sacrifice his secret in exchange for the Ascension Immortal Grass!
Puchi!
However, things always developed in an unpredictable direction.
As soon as Ning Yue left the room, the white-haired old man spat out a mouthful of dark red blood, and his aura became extremely weak.
"I'm willing to tell you the real secret!"
The white-haired old man used the last of his strength to roar towards the outside of the room.
Thump!
After saying this, the white-haired old man's body went limp, and he directly collapsed to the ground.
"Hu Wentian, deal with him. Don't let him die for now."
Outside the room, Ning Yue's footsteps paused for a moment, and then he immediately strode out of the Square Restaurant. There were many things to do, and Ning Yue knew that this was not a good time to get to the bottom of the white-haired old man.
Anyway, the white-haired old man was under his control. After solving the problem in Square Restaurant, it would not be too late to have a good talk with him.
Crack!
What Ning Yue did not know was that the moment he left the room, in a secret room in Square Restaurant, an old man suddenly smashed the jade cup in his hand on the ground, and it broke into pieces!
Next to the old man, two middle-aged men held their breath, and did not dare to speak at all.
"Xie Tao is dead."
The old man's expression was calm, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. He said lightly, "What do you think of this matter?"
"It must be the Jin Family who set us up!" A middle-aged man with a scar on the left side of his face clenched his fists, and he could not hide the anger on his face.
"That's right. If it were not for the Jin Family, Xie Tao would not have gone to the Square Restaurant!"
The other middle-aged man was also furious, and he said fiercely, "We must let the Jin Family know that we are not to be trifled with!"
"Let the Jin Family know that you are not to be trifled with?"
The old man was not angered by the words of the two middle-aged men. He raised his brows, and said, "On the surface, the Jin Family only left two Initial Saint Realm experts and a Late Heavenly Supreme. Can the three of us win against them?"
The old man's question made the two middle-aged men's faces turn a little ugly.
However, the middle-aged man with a scar on the left side of his face still braced himself, and said, "Although we are not a match for the Jin Family, our Xie Family still has someone in the void …"
"Shut up!"
Hearing this, the old man suddenly slammed the table and said coldly, "The Four Great Empires all have backup plans, but our Xie Family is not the only one!
"In the future, I hope that you will use your brains to think before doing anything. If anyone dares to act recklessly again, don't blame me for being impolite!"
When the old man said those words, his attitude and tone were extremely cold.
Those who did not know better would think that the two middle-aged men had made a big mistake.
"Right, you two get ready. I'm going to the City Lord's Mansion."
Ignoring the reaction of the two middle-aged men, the old man stood up and left the room.
The two middle-aged men exchanged glances with each other before obediently following behind the old man and also disappearing from sight.
At the same time.
In a secret room not too far away from the old man.
There were three cultivators.
Two Initial Saint Realm and one Late Heavenly Supreme.
Among the three cultivators, the two Initial Saint Realm cultivators were called Jin Zhi and Jin Cheng, while the Late Heavenly Supreme was called Jin Zhen.
"Xie Tao was killed."
Jin Zhi was not tall, but he looked very sturdy.
Jin Zhi narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm worried that the Xie Family will contact Ning Yue."
"Don't worry."
Jin Cheng waved his hand and said, "The Xie Family does not have the guts for now."
After a short pause, Jin Cheng continued, "Even if the Xie Family makes contact with Ning Yue and the others, it will only be beneficial for us."
Jin Zhi raised an eyebrow and asked, "What benefit?"
Jin Cheng smiled evilly, "We can join forces with the Cloudy Wind Empire and the Purple Sun Empire to get rid of the Heavenly Dragon Empire! I'm more than happy to have one less person to share the Immortal Crystals with. "
"What do you think we should do now?" Jin Zhi continued to ask.
"It's simple." Jin Cheng's lips curled up and he said coldly, "Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion and have a good chat with Zhao Guocheng."
"Isn't it inappropriate to go to the City Lord's Mansion now?" Jin Zhi frowned.
In Jin Zhi's opinion, it was unwise to go to the City Lord's Mansion now.
The other three empires knew that the Elder of Tian Ji was in the City Lord's Mansion.
The other three empires knew that the Jin Family and the Elder of Tian Ji had a grudge against each other.
If they went to the City Lord's Mansion now, they might attract the hostility of the other three empires.
If they did not kick the Xie Family out, the Jin Family might be kicked out instead!
"Listen to me, we must go to the City Lord's Mansion now."
