City Lord's Mansion, Main Hall.
The main hall wasn't small, but it seemed a little empty at this moment.
To be precise, there were only three people in the main hall.
Tianji Laoren, Yun Mu, and Talisman Martial Supreme.
"Do you think that Ning Yue will help me?"
Yun Mu paced back and forth in the main hall with a conflicted expression.
Plotting against Ning Yue, dragging Ning Yue into the water, and forcing him to participate in the immortal crystal mine were all Yun Mu's plans.
As his cultivation increased, Yun Mu's memories from his past life kept awakening.
However, the more memories he awakened, the more conflicted and uneasy he became.
After going through all the information about Ning Yue in his mind, Yun Mu gritted his teeth and said, "If Ning Yue detained Zhao Guocheng, what should we do?"
"Don't worry, Ning Yue definitely won't detain Zhao Guocheng," Tianji Laoren waved his hand and said.
"You don't know, I secretly asked Zhao Guocheng to change the key. I'm afraid …"
Yun Mu's voice became softer and softer. In the end, he didn't continue.
"Zhao Guocheng gave the key to Ning Yue," Tianji Laoren said with certainty.
"That's why Ning Yue definitely won't detain Zhao Guocheng."
"What?!"
Yun Mu's expression changed and he said hurriedly, "You gave the key to Ning Yue, what should we do?"
Although Yun Mu appeared to be regretful, he was still furious when he found out that the key was in Ning Yue's hands.
"You know better than me that the key isn't in our hands. Even if Ning Yue obtained the immortal crystals, he would only give us a few pieces at most. He wouldn't give us a large amount of immortal crystals!"
Yun Mu was on the verge of exploding.
The conflicted feeling he had just now disappeared at this moment.
Yun Mu even had the urge to run to the Square Restaurant and snatch the key back!
Swoosh!
At this moment.
A figure flew in from outside the main hall and landed directly in the main hall.
"Zhao Guocheng!"
Seeing this figure, Yun Mu's expression turned gloomy and he said coldly, "You still dare to come back. Tell me honestly, why did you give the key to Ning Yue?"
"This …"
Zhao Guocheng had just returned and wanted to discuss an important matter with Yun Mu and the others. Who would have thought that he would be questioned by Yun Mu?
His mouth opened and closed, but Zhao Guocheng didn't know what to say, so he could only turn his gaze to the Elder of Heavenly Secrets.
"Yun Mu, becoming enemies with Ning Yue is not a wise decision."
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets said, "Ning Yue is an indescribably noble person. Whether or not we can survive this crisis will depend on Ning Yue's assistance."
"Crisis? What crisis? "Yun Mu's mind stirred as he hastily asked.
"Look at me, I forgot the most important thing!" Zhao Guocheng slapped his head and said hurriedly, "When I came back from the Square Restaurant, there were at least three groups of people following me!"
"Do you know who is following you?" Elder Tianji frowned.
"The Jin Clan of the Qianye Empire, the Xie Clan of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, and the Lan Clan of the Cloudy Wind Empire. I'm not sure if the Purple Sun Empire has caught up," Zhao Guocheng answered honestly.
"How did you know about this? Since they chose to follow you secretly, they definitely wouldn't let you discover them."
Yun Mu's tone was cold as he said with a straight face.
To be honest.
Yun Mu didn't believe Zhao Guocheng's words.
Zhao Guocheng was only a Late Heavenly Supreme. If the people from the three empires were following him, he definitely wouldn't be able to discover anything.
One must know that the leaders left behind by the three empires this time around were all Sage-level cultivators.
Yun Mu knew very well what kind of person Zhao Guocheng was.
He might be strong in the Square Restaurant, but in front of a Sage, it would be difficult for him to block even one move.
"I wasn't the one who discovered it."
Zhao Guocheng shook his head and said, "When I left the Square Restaurant, Ning Yue had a Middle Stage Sage follow me. It was that Middle Stage Sage who discovered it."
"Where is that Middle Stage Sage now?" The Elder of Heavenly Secrets knew who Zhao Guocheng was talking about as soon as he said Middle Stage Sage.
Zhang Qiang!
There were a total of three Sages beside Ning Yue.
Middle Stage Sage Zhang Qiang, Late Stage Sage white-haired elder and An Haoping.
Therefore, as soon as Zhao Guocheng said that, the Elder of Heavenly Secrets determined that it was Zhang Qiang.
"He asked me to come in first and stayed outside the City Lord's Mansion to stop those who followed me," Zhao Guocheng said.
"Oh no!"
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets' expression changed.
Zhang Qiang was only a Middle Stage Sage. If the Middle Stage Sage from the Purple Sun Empire didn't come, everything would be fine. At least Zhang Qiang wouldn't be killed.
However, once the Middle Stage Sage from the Purple Sun Empire came, Zhang Qiang would definitely be in danger under the siege of the experts from the four empires!
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets had a lot to do with the Elder of Heavenly Secrets forcing Ning Yue to stay in the Square Restaurant.
Without the Elder of Heavenly Secrets as a middleman, Yun Mu couldn't force Ning Yue to succeed.
Therefore, the Elder of Heavenly Secrets didn't want to see anything happen to Zhang Qiang, which would lead to a complete break with Ning Yue!
"Let's go out now!"
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets immediately decided to go out.
Although the Elder of Heavenly Secrets knew that if he went out now, he might face the people from the four empires. However, if he didn't go out now, he would completely offend Ning Yue!
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets had the guts to offend the four empires.
Offend Ning Yue?
Unfortunately, even if the Elder of Heavenly Secrets had the guts, he wouldn't dare to take action!
The best solution was to show his attitude in advance and stand on the same side as Zhang Qiang before Ning Yue came over!
Otherwise, when Ning Yue arrived, he would find that they were still in the City Lord's Mansion while Zhang Qiang was alone outside dealing with the three empires … No, it should be the four empires. What would Ning Yue think then?
Therefore, he had to go out immediately!
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets didn't care about what Yun Mu thought. His figure flashed and he left the hall.
After the Elder of Heavenly Secrets left.
"Sigh."
Yun Mu and the Venerable of Talisman Martial Arts looked at each other and sighed. They tore the void and went in together.
Seeing the Elder of Heavenly Secrets and Yun Mu leave, Zhao Guocheng stood on the spot in a daze.
Zhao Guocheng didn't understand why they would go out foolishly when there was a mid-stage Sage guarding the City Lord's Mansion.
Even if the Elder of Heavenly Secrets and Yun Mu went out, they wouldn't be able to help that mid-stage Sage. Instead, they would only add to the chaos.
"Forget it. Since everyone is going, I'll go out too."
After thinking about it, Zhao Guocheng sighed and hurriedly followed them.
There were some things he couldn't figure out, and Zhao Guocheng didn't want to think about it.
Anyway, even if the sky collapsed, there would be someone taller to hold it up.
He had already given the key to Ning Yue. Even if both sides really fought, it would be difficult to affect him.
Zhao Guocheng even made up his mind.
As long as Ning Yue's side showed signs of defeat and the situation was hopeless, he would immediately use his Secret Technique to leave.
As the saying went, where there's life, there's hope.
