Invitation
"Brat, I'll leave my high-grade heaven-tier flying sword with you for now. If there's a chance, I'll win it back!" Old Tan said coldly, clearly brooding over losing a high-grade heaven-tier flying sword.
Although Old Tan was an initial-stage Yin Yang Realm martial artist, a high-grade heaven-tier flying sword was also considered a very precious magic treasure in his hands.
One had to know that ordinary Yin Yang Realm martial artists mostly used middle-grade heaven-tier magic treasures.
"I'm looking forward to the next bet with you." Feng Zi was clearly not afraid of Old Tan.
"Come, to Sikong Ling's house."
Withstanding Old Tan's oppressive aura, Ning Yue did not hesitate in the slightest and took the lead to walk towards Sikong Ling's residence.
If not for Old Tan stopping him, Ning Yue would have reached Sikong Ling's house an hour ago and might have already seen Lu Wei and the rest.
After wasting an hour here, Ning Yue felt somewhat displeased in his heart.
Swish!
However, just as Ning Yue moved his feet, Old Tan's figure flashed and blocked in front of him.
"Ning Yue, actually, I came here this time mainly to represent His Majesty to invite you to Tianyuan Tower." Old Tan said in a deep voice, "You weren't in the capital the last time. There shouldn't be any problems this time, right?"
"Inviting me to Tianyuan Tower again?"
Ning Yue frowned slightly and his expression turned somewhat ugly.
An invitation must look like an invitation.
With Old Tan's invitation method, forget about him not wanting to go in the first place, even if he wanted to go in the first place, he would definitely not go now.
Without a doubt, Ning Yue shook his head and said indifferently, "Not today. I still have something to do today. Another day."
As his voice fell, Ning Yue bypassed Old Tan and walked forward.
"Hur hur, Ning Yue, you don't have to go, but I have to remind you of one thing."
This time, Elder Tan did not continue to stop Ning Yue. Instead, he said with a faint smile, "His Majesty has already prepared a banquet in the Tianyuan Restaurant. There are many people you are familiar with there."
"The First Prince, the Third Prince, and the Sixth Prince are among them. Furthermore, there's also the Zhang Family's peerless genius Zhang Tianwen, the Alchemy Guild's peerless genius Ren Xiangtian, the Black Market's Young Master Sikong Ling, the Xiao Family's Xiao Yu, the Snow Domain Pavilion's Lu Wei …"
Initially, when Ning Yue heard Old Tan's words, he didn't think much of it and continued to move forward.
However, when he heard the last part, Ning Yue's expression finally changed, and his footsteps gradually came to a halt.
"If I remember correctly, the Tianyuan Tower belongs to the sixth prince, Ouyang Yuan …"
Ning Yue said in a deep voice, "What is the Emperor's intention in setting the banquet there?"
"I'm only responsible for passing the message. I don't know anything else." Seeing that he had piqued Ning Yue's interest, Old Tan smiled and said, "I have already passed on the message. As for whether you will go or not, that is not something I can control. We will meet again."
Buzz!
Buzz! The instant the word 'met' fell, Old Tan tore the void and immediately disappeared.
After Old Tan disappeared, Ning Yue's expression turned completely gloomy, and his entire body even emitted a smear of killing intent.
Swish!
Sensing the killing intent from Ning Yue's body, Feng Zi's heart shuddered, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Ning Yue, the Tianyuan Tower … are we going?" After a while, when the killing intent from Ning Yue's body dissipated, Feng Zi asked hesitantly.
"Go. Sikong Ling and Lu Wei are at the Tianyuan Tower. Even if I have to go through a mountain of daggers or a sea of flames, I still have to make a trip," Ning Yue said coldly.
"There's no time to lose. Shall we depart now?" Feng Zi might not be a citizen of the Great Xia Kingdom, but he more or less had some understanding of the Great Xia Kingdom's capital.
At the very least, he knew that the Tianyuan Tower was a business under the Sixth Prince.
In Feng Zi's opinion, it wasn't the Emperor who invited Ning Yue today. It was highly possible that it was a scheme of the Sixth Prince to rope in Ning Yue!
After all, the contest for the position of Crown Prince had already reached a critical juncture. Whichever prince could win over Ning Yue would occupy an advantageous position in the contest for the position of Crown Prince!
"Don't get involved in this matter. I'll go by myself."
Ning Yue knew that the trip to the Tianyuan Tower was destined to be fraught with grim possibilities, and there was no need to drag Feng Zi into it.
After all, Feng Zi was still burdened with a blood feud. If something happened to him in the Tianyuan Tower, he would feel guilty.
"Ning Yue, you're treating me like an outsider by saying that."
Feng Zi was obviously unhappy, and his expression was somewhat gloomy. "If it wasn't for you, I might have already died in the hands of the Tie Sect. So no matter what, you have to bring me along on this trip to the Tianyuan Tower!"
"Even if you don't bring me along, I'll still go to the Tianyuan Tower. Wouldn't it be the same then?"
Hearing Feng Zi's words, Ning Yue fell into deep thought.
A minute later, Ning Yue said solemnly, "I can let you go, but you have to listen to me for everything. Remember not to act impulsively."
"No problem." Feng Zi patted his chest and guaranteed.
"Let's go to the Tianyuan Tower."
Since he had decided to go to the Tianyuan Tower, Ning Yue immediately turned around and sprinted in the direction of the Tianyuan Tower.
The Tianyuan Tower corresponded to Sikong Ling's residence and was not too far away.
Before long, Ning Yue and Feng Zi appeared in front of a luxurious loft.
"This is the Tianyuan Tower …"
Looking at the luxurious loft in front of him, Feng Zi muttered, "As expected of one of the iconic buildings of the Great Xia Kingdom. It is indeed high-end and classy."
"Even in the Lan Qing Kingdom's capital, this building can be considered a top-notch building."
Ning Yue didn't pay attention to how luxurious the Tianyuan Tower was. He only had one thought right now, and that was to quickly enter the Tianyuan Tower and find Lu Wei, Sikong Ling, and Xiao Yu!
At first, Ning Yue suspected that Elder Tan was lying to him, but the moment he stood in front of the Tianyuan Tower, he knew that Elder Tan wasn't lying to him.
Because inside the Tianyuan Tower, Ning Yue felt a trace of an extremely familiar scent.
That scent … originated from the unique scent of a Creation Realm expert!
Also, there was a trace of soul spirit force that he left on Lu Wei's body!
Back then, in order to ensure Lu Wei's safety, Ning Yue quietly left a trace of soul spirit force on her body.
Right now, he could determine that Lu Wei was inside the Tianyuan Tower.
Taking a deep breath, Ning Yue tried his best to calm himself down and walked towards the Tianyuan Tower with large strides.
"Please wait and show me your invitation."
However, just as Ning Yue stepped into the Tianyuan Tower, a servant blocked his way.
"Invitation? What invitation? "
Ning Yue was slightly taken aback as he asked curiously.
"Haha, the Tianyuan Tower is a place of honor. Warriors without an invitation are not allowed to enter." The servant grinned.
Although the servant's smile was a little bright, Ning Yue still felt that there was a dagger hidden in his smile, and it was very unreal.
Furthermore, Ning Yue also realized that this servant was different from the other servants in front of the restaurant. His cultivation had reached the shocking pinnacle of the Primal Core stage!
In fact, he was only a step away from advancing to the Yin-Yang stage!
Using a pinnacle of the Primal Core stage warrior as a gatekeeper, even the palace wouldn't have the guts to do so, right?
Frowning, Ning Yue said in a low voice, "Are you sure you want to ask me for an invitation?"
