A Mysterious Man Has Taken a Fancy to You
After receiving some information from the Heaven-Praying Hall Master for Heaven.
Chen Ning gained some further understanding of the Heavenly Demon Wonder Manor.
Only.
Still unsure whether the other party is friend or foe?
Everything will have to wait until we figure it out.
The Heaven-Praying Hall Master even showed an expression of regret for not having met sooner.
He frankly said that he and Chen Ning hit it off immediately and wanted to have a few drinks together.
Finally, under Chen Ning's disapproving reprimand.
The three of them reluctantly returned to Lan Province.
You've already delivered everything, and you still want to stay and freeload?
No way!
Chen Ning was about to return to the warship.
Then, from afar, I spotted a familiar figure in the crowd.
That silhouette...
Why does he look a bit like the old sect leader?
It's not just the back view.
That familiar scent also felt very familiar to Chen Ning.
Before I could get a good look, the figure quickly disappeared from sight.
A thought subtly stirred within me.
The Stars Shift, Heaven and Earth Revolve and the power is unleashed.
Chen Ning immediately gave chase.
In the blink of an eye.
Then they left Five Grains City.
We arrived at a fertile field.
The figure also stopped.
At this moment...
Chen Ning realized that the other party had probably deliberately lured him here.
And the other party is most likely not the former sect leader.
"You summoned me here using the aura of a former sect leader of the Dragon-Seeking Sect, which is disrespectful to the deceased..."
Chen Ning spoke slowly, his tone icy.
"Since he is deceased, why did Sect Leader Chen still come after him?"
A mocking remark came over.
The figure disguised as the old sect leader turned around.
This is a middle-aged man.
His smile was warm and friendly.
One moment he exuded the aura of the old sect leader, the next he was a person devoid of any cultivation aura.
But his words made Chen Ning's gaze sharpen.
This person actually knew that the old sect leader wasn't dead!
"Sect Leader Chen, you are a smart man, and also a prodigy. Let's not beat around the bush; I brought you here because I admire you."
The middle-aged man kept smiling.
Chen Ning felt a chill run down his spine at the sight of her laughter.
"I'm warning you, don't come across as gay."
Chen Ning took a step back.
We maintained a certain distance.
"Sect Leader Chen, I have no homosexual inclinations, you can rest assured."
The middle-aged man casually took out a specially made token.
"I was so excited to see Sect Leader Chen that I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Chu Xuanyuan, and I am the organizer of the Three Quarters Past Noon. I'm sure Sect Leader Chen is familiar with me."
Upon seeing the specially made token, Chen Ning understood.
What he didn't expect was...
The number on the token was clearly A1.
This guy...
He is the one in charge at Three Quarters Past Noon.
As for himself, he had already killed two people at Three Quarters Past Noon.
One instance was during the battle for the Marrow-Cleansing Divine Fruit in Gold and Iron City.
One instance was in the Heavenly Net Dynasty of Qian Province.
Those two cultivators from Three Quarters Past Noon were somewhat troublesome.
One person who cultivates a secret technique can escape to a height of ten thousand feet in the sky.
The other person possesses extremely high Divine Power.
It can possess another person's body.
It was created by using a shell company.
In other words, one happens to have a way to control oneself.
If it were someone else, they would be really difficult to deal with.
It can be said that I only had a brief encounter with the Three Quarters Past Noon.
However, it is also a very mysterious organization.
"So, you're here to avenge your people?" Chen Ning asked with a smile.
"No, no, no, Sect Leader Chen misunderstands. It's their good fortune to die at Sect Leader Chen hands. Besides, I, a man of the Three Quarters Past Noon, always act on impulse. Life and death are predestined; it's their fate."
"Since you're so open-minded, then I don't understand. Besides the deaths of those two, what else do you want from me?"
Chen Ning was indeed confused.
I've only had these two interactions with members of the "Three Quarters Past Noon" organization.
"Sect Leader Chen, to be honest, I've taken a liking to you..."
Chu Xuanyuan laughed heartily.
Chen Ning felt a chill run down her spine. "You still say you don't have that kind of fetish?"
"Sect Leader Chen, I would like to invite you to join the Three Quarters Past Noon."
"Join at Three Quarters Past Noon?"
Chen Ning muttered to himself.
Chu Xuanyuan nodded and said, "That's right. Sect Leader Chen's talent is almost demonic. In just one year, he cultivated from the Human Martial Realm to the Martial Venerable. He is unparalleled in history. He also forcefully annihilated the True Martial Saint Sect. I will naturally extend an olive branch to such a person at Three Quarters Past Noon."
He paused, then added, "Furthermore, if Sect Leader Chen agrees, you can be my equal, and together we can build a new world!"
As he finished speaking, a look of longing appeared on Chu Xuanyuan's face.
Chen Ning said calmly, "I am the lord of a super power. You think you can win me over? Aren't you being a bit too presumptuous?"
"Sect Leader Chen is merely the head of a super power; I've tried to recruit him Three Quarters Past Noon, haven't I?"
Chu Xuanyuan said dismissively, his words clearly implying that he was the leader of a super power, someone he had tried to win over at Three Quarters Past Noon.
And it is highly likely that they have already successfully won them over.
"Sect Leader Chen, don't you want to know the whereabouts of the eighth leader of the Dragon-Seeking Sect?"
As soon as those words were spoken...
That was the real blow.
Did Chu Xuanyuan truly know, or was he just being deliberately mysterious?
"What benefits would I receive if I joined?" Chen Ning asked.
Chu Xuanyuan smiled warmly again and said, "If Sect Leader Chen joins us, he will be my closest friend. I know that with your brilliance, you will soon set foot on the martial arts holy land of Central Province. With my secret assistance, you will be able to move freely in Central Province, and even those giants will have to show you some respect."
"Oh?"
Chen Ning laughed, "I really didn't expect that the mysterious Three Quarters Past Noon would have such power."
"My lifelong wish is to create a new world, a world without rules or laws, a world where everything is done as one pleases, a world that breaks down the old and the corrupt, a completely new world!"
"To build such a world, one needs the power to overturn everything, and I will need many... helpers."
Chu Xuanyuan's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
This guy always looks longing when he talks about this.
This was clearly his life's ambition.
"So, I'm the accomplice you chose?"
"That's right, Sect Leader Chen, if we join forces, we will definitely be able to truly overturn everything!"
Chu Xuanyuan smiled broadly.
"I'm sorry, I have no interest in what you've said. As for the whereabouts of the old sect leader, I will investigate that myself."
Chen Ning hated this kind of drama where you have to compromise for certain things.
This feeling is like being controlled by someone else.
Chen Ning dislikes compromising with anyone.
It's not worth having to listen to this fanatic again just to find out where the old sect leader is.
Really.
After saying this, the smile on Chu Xuanyuan's face gradually faded.
"Sect Leader Chen, are you rejecting me?"
"Well, I'll have to take my leave."
Chen Ning turned to leave.
The next moment.
The space began to tremble violently.
The void began to crumble.
Chen Ning activated his Sword Heart Barrier to prepare for battle.
However, Chu Xuanyuan did not launch an attack.
A barrier collapsed around Chen Ning.
Above the barrier.
It was as if shimmering patterns were emerging.
"Sect Leader Chen, I will not harm you, but I need you to stay here for some time until... you can come to your senses and join us!"
