A slim chance of survival?
Yue Xiaofei's heart sank.
He admitted that Ning Hongye and this so-called Ning family wielded immense influence, enough to make even experts on the Heaven Ranking treat them with utmost respect.
But claiming that a trip to Longdu would put his life in danger was surely taking the scare tactics too far!
