Swish!
When the words left the Human Demon's mouth, Meng Changan and the others all turned their gazes to Ning Yue. Astonishment filled their faces.
Although they'd guessed that Ning Yue had merged with origin energy after he'd reached the mid-stage Saint realm, it was still just a guess.
However, a guess was just a guess. None of them dared to confirm it, and there were even some doubts in their hearts.
Now that the human demon had personally asked, there was no way Ning Yue would lie.
Meng Changan, Ye Jiansong, and Zhao Hang stared at Ning Yue with their ears stretched out, afraid to miss Ning Yue's answer.
"Yes."
Ning Yue nodded. "I have indeed merged with origin energy. I should be able to use a strand of law now.
"What kind of power of law do you have?"
Ning Yue's words caused the Human Demon to reveal an expression of joy.
Ning Yue frowned at the human demon's anxious expression.
Although he didn't know why the human demon was so concerned, Ning Yue still answered honestly, "It's still the law of space."
Ning Yue knew very well that ever since the Human Demon had wanted him to merge with the Origin Source, the Human Demon had probably already found out that he possessed the Space Law.
In other words, the human demon didn't need the law of space.
Since he didn't need the law of space, he definitely needed another law!
"Alright."
The human demon's eyes flashed with disappointment when he heard Ning Yue's words.
Ning Yue saw the disappointment in the Human Demon's eyes.
However, even if he knew the human demon would be disappointed, Ning Yue couldn't guarantee anything. After all, the power of law was something that could only be discovered by luck. It wasn't something that one could obtain just because they wanted to.
"Senior Human Demon, do you think we should open the gate and let those people in?"
At that moment, Ye Jiansong asked cautiously.
"I'll leave the rest to you. I'll return to the Pill Emperor City tomorrow."
The human demon waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to seek his opinion on this matter.
Soon after, the Human Demon's feet stomped on the ground and he leaped into the air, disappearing into the void.
Seeing the human demon leave, Ye Jiansong turned to Ning Yue.
If Ye Jiansong still felt that Ning Yue was a junior in the past, then he had now treated Ning Yue as an existence on the same level as him.
It was so much so that he even respected Ning Yue as his leader.
After merging with the origin energy, Lin Yun's cultivation had jumped three levels from the Pinnacle Heavenly Sovereign Realm to the Middle Phase Saint Realm.
Ye Jiansong had never heard of such an ability.
Beside him, Meng Changan and Zhao Hang weren't surprised by Ye Jiansong's attitude. Instead, they thought it was only natural.
Although Ning Yue's strength was not enough to contend against them, he had the support of the Human Demon, so they had to give him some face.
But now, just Ning Yue alone was enough to attract their attention.
"He's a guest from afar, there's no harm in meeting him."
Ning Yue pondered for a moment, then said, "Tomorrow is the day that Gong Yangqing will publicly refine pills. At this critical juncture, it's always good to have another friend."
Ning Yue appeared very indifferent.
This was how the world worked. The strong were respected.
His strength was powerful, so Meng Changan and the rest's attitude towards him had some changes. That was a matter of course.
If Meng Changan and the others still treated him the same way, then Ning Yue would definitely suspect how they managed to cultivate to the peak of the Sage Stage.
However, Ning Yue did not put on airs.
Whether it was Meng Changan, Ye Jiansong or Zhao Hang, they had all helped him.
Ning Yue was vicious and merciless to his enemies, and he even stopped at nothing to annihilate them.
However, Ning Yue's attitude towards his friends had always been good.
"Wait here, I'll be right back."
Ye Jiansong bowed slightly, then moved towards the main gate of the City Lord's Residence.
After Ye Jiansong left, apart from Ning Yue, only Ye Jiansong and Zhao Hang were left in the courtyard.
Ning Yue did not speak, so Meng Changan and Zhao Hang naturally did not want to speak.
For a moment, the courtyard became silent.
"Ning Yue, about the matter about the Origin Source that we talked about before …"
However, this silence did not last long before it was broken by Zhao Hang.
Zhao Hang rubbed his hands and said to Ning Yue.
"I said that since I promised, I won't go back on my word."
Ning Yue opened his eyes and stared at Zhao Hang. "But before that, I want to know what you want the Origin Source for."
"It's coming!"
Hearing Ning Yue's words, Zhao Hang's heart trembled, thinking that what should come had come.
Even if he really did not want to tell Ning Yue, at this time, Zhao Hang had no other choice. He could only bite the bullet and send a voice transmission, "I want the Origin Source to save someone."
"Save who?" Ning Yue frowned, looking like he wanted to get to the bottom of it.
How could Ning Yue not know what Zhao Hang was thinking in his heart?
Since Zhao Hang communicated with him through voice transmission, it meant that Zhao Hang did not want to tell him about this matter.
Ning Yue was just a little curious.
Something as precious as the Origin Source, anyone who obtained it would probably keep it for themselves.
For Zhao Hang to say that he wanted to use the Origin Source to save someone, it meant that the person he wanted to save must have an extraordinary relationship with him.
"Save my sister. She's currently trapped in the Everlasting Cave on another plane."
Zhao Hang gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.
"I see."
Ning Yue nodded his head, revealing a look of sudden realization.
No wonder Zhao Hang would remind repeatedly to ask for the Origin Source. It turned out that it was to save his sister.
Asking up to here, Ning Yue abruptly stopped and did not continue asking.
Zhao Hang's family matters, Ning Yue did not wish to get involved too much.
If he could obtain the Origin Source by a stroke of luck this time, Ning Yue would definitely keep his promise and share a share with Zhao Hang.
Ning Yue did not speak. Zhao Hang and Meng Changan naturally would not go and say anything.
For a moment, the courtyard became quiet again.
Drip!
Time trickled by, minute by minute.
In a blink of an eye, ten minutes had already passed.
"Why isn't he coming over yet?"
When the eleventh minute arrived, Meng Changan's brows furrowed slightly, revealing an unhappy look.
Tomorrow was going to be a big battle. They did not have time to wait here.
With the great battle approaching, every extra second of cultivation time had the possibility of increasing their strength a little.
As the saying went, sharpening a spear at the last moment might not be fast.
"City Lord Ye might be in trouble."
At this moment, Ning Yue opened his eyes and took a deep breath, saying, "Let's go out and take a look."
"Ye Jiansong is in trouble? What kind of trouble could he be in? "
Meng Changan and Zhao Hang were a little confused.
Ye Jiansong was a peak Sage martial artist. In terms of strength, he could be ranked in the top five in the Pill Emperor City.
The martial practitioners outside were at most native Immortal Spirit realm martial practitioners.
Meng Changan was very clear that although there were Sage Great Perfection martial artists in the Immortal Spirit Realm, they were all old monsters who usually did not show themselves.
Putting aside whether those old monsters would come to the Pill Emperor City, even if they were tempted by Gong Yangqing's bargaining chip and came to the Pill Emperor City, they would not be in conflict with Ye Jiansong.
Could it be that Ning Yue had guessed wrongly?
