So, in fact, the person who was assassinated was your younger sister, Miss Nanxing？
After listening to Gongshu Nanxing’s complete account of the assassination, both Elder Zhang and Xu Taiping had a look of sudden understanding on their faces.
Gongshu Nanxing nodded weakly.
We are twin sisters. Except for our parents, it is very difficult for outsiders to tell the difference. My younger sister also knew this and deliberately exposed her position to lure out that demonic species. By the time I found out, it was already too late.
She said with a tone full of self-blame.
For a moment, both Elder Zhang and Xu Taiping were silent.
The two didn’t know how to comfort Gongshu Nanxing.
Nanxing girl, don’t be too sad. The souls of the cultivators in the Mysterious Wilderness Tower who died at the hands of the demonic species will all be taken into the Mysterious Wilderness Tower. They will first spend a happy time in the tower and then be reincarnated.
Elder Zhang gently patted Gongshu Nanxing on the shoulder and comforted her in a very soft tone.
Regarding what Elder Zhang said, Xu Taiping had just learned something about it from the intelligence sent by Ye Chensand a few days ago.
For example, the next stop they are going to is the fourth layer of the Mysterious Wilderness Tower. In the country named Ningyuan within the tower, almost all the common people are the souls of the original dead common people in the Mysterious Wilderness Tower.
According to some statements in the intelligence, this might be an act of compassion instinctively done by the divine sense left by the Mysterious Wilderness Great Emperor in the tower after sensing the hardships of the common people in the Mysterious Wilderness Heaven.
Of course, this kind of statement is just a guess.
After all, the Mysterious Wilderness Tower cannot interfere in the affairs of the human world in the Mysterious Wilderness Heaven, which is an iron law set by the Mysterious Wilderness Great Emperor.
“Moreover, as long as what you and I do can succeed, in the future, tens of thousands or even millions of innocent common people in the Mysterious Wilderness Heaven will die less.”
Elder Zhang continued slightly excitedly.
Upon hearing this, the confusion in Gongshu Nanxing’s eyes was suddenly swept away.
“Elder Zhang is right.”
I saw her take a deep breath, nod, and vigorously wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her eyes became firm again.
“Young Master Rust Lion, this time Jiuyuan is willing to expose the magic seeds lurking in various cities at one go in order to get rid of the nine of us and help you climb the tower, which shows that they really regard you as a threat.”
“If there are no accidents, after we enter the fourth floor of the Mysterious Desolation Tower, we will immediately be besieged by these demonic cultivators.”
Nanxing suddenly looked at Xu Taiping with a serious expression.
“Young Master, this old man also wanted to remind you of this matter just now.”
Old Zhang nodded in agreement at this time.
“Old Zhang, Miss Nanxing, how much do the two of you currently know about the movements of the Demon Abyss？”
Xu Taiping asked the two people in return.
Although he had already obtained a lot of information from Ye Chensha, it was all just Ye Chensha’s one-sided statement. Now that Old Zhang and Nanxing were here, he could just verify it with the two of them.
Our Thousand Chance City has just gotten rid of the siege and we don’t have the ability to explore the situation on the Demon Abyss side for the time being.
Nanxing shook her head helplessly.
This old man has indeed inquired to some extent, but I don’t dare to guarantee whether the news is accurate…
Old Zhang was a little hesitant.
“Old Zhang, it’s okay to just say it.”
Xu Taiping looked at Old Zhang very seriously.
Hearing this, Old Zhang no longer hesitated and said first：
“A friend of this old man in the army sent me a message a few days ago, saying that the newly promoted Demon Lord Tianxing of the Demon Abyss has successfully ascended to the third floor of the Mysterious Desolation Tower half a month ago. If there are no accidents, he will besiege you, Young Master Rust Lion, on the fourth floor of the Mysterious Desolation Tower.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping nodded slightly and thought to himself that Ye Chensha’s intelligence was indeed correct.
Moreover, from this point of view, the power behind Ye Chensha might be much stronger than Xu Taiping had imagined, because the intelligence he could obtain was something that even Elder Zhang, a high-level cultivator in the Mysterious Desolation Heaven, did not know.
“Demon Lord Tianxing… is that the devil who improves his cultivation realm by relying on the resentment of women？”
Nan Xing’s complexion changed on the spot after hearing Elder Zhang’s words.
“I also heard this news from a friend of mine.”
Xu Taiping nodded and then continued,
“Besides, I also got a very unfavorable news for us from him.”
“What news？”
Hearing this, Elder Zhang and Nan Xing asked in unison.
“It is said that Jiuyuan obtained a soul weapon on the fourth floor of the Mysterious Desolation Tower, which can know our approximate location within about ten miles after we enter the fourth floor of the Mysterious Desolation Tower.”
Xu Taiping replied.
The reactions of Elder Zhang and Nan Xing upon hearing this were similar to Xu Taiping’s reaction when he heard this a few days ago.
“With Jiuyuan’s current power on the fourth floor of the Mysterious Desolation Tower, as long as they know our approximate location, not to mention within about ten miles, I’m afraid they can block a hundred miles.
Elder Zhang’s face was full of worry.
Hearing this, Xu Taiping took out two talismans from the Xuanhuang Ring and gave one to Elder Zhang and one to Nan Xing respectively, and then explained：
“Put this talisman on your body. When entering the fourth to sixth floors of the Xuanhuang Tower, no one will be able to see or sense your existence within the time of a cup of tea, no matter how strong their cultivation base is.”
“Just a talisman, can it really be so powerful？”
Gongshu Nan Xing still had some doubts.
And beside him, Old Zhang, after taking the talisman, said with shining eyes：
“This is a rare soul weapon in the Mysterious Desolation Tower, the Heaven-Covering Talisman. As long as you carry it with you, it can indeed make you completely unnoticed or undetected by anyone within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea after entering the tower.”
Old Zhang’s experience is there. He knows most of the famous soul weapons in the Mysterious Desolation Tower.
After getting the confirmation from Old Zhang, Xu Taiping also let out a sigh of relief.
Although he had reached a deal with Ye Chensand, he still didn’t fully trust it in his heart. That’s why he took out this intelligence and talisman for Old Zhang and the others to confirm.
“But in just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, with our current cultivation, only you, Young Master, can run ten miles, right？”
Old Zhang furrowed his brows again at this time.
“If we don’t count the consumption of qi and true essence, my Heavenly Shadow Technique can cover ten miles in just half the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.”
Gongshu Nanxing said at this time.
“Even so, as long as we show up, we will still be discovered by the map in their hands.”
Elder Zhang shook his head.
“Elder Zhang, Miss Nanxing, I have deduced this matter repeatedly for the past two months, and then found that the key to avoiding the first wave of encirclement and suppression by Jiuyuan lies with you.”
Xu Taiping suddenly looked at Elder Zhang with a serious expression.
