Ning Yuanzhou spoke so quietly that only Ning Que and Yi Tao could hear him.
But before the two could react, Feng Shande's voice rang out in their ears.
"Ning Yuanzhou, you haven't been honest with us. We're almost at the ruins, and you weren't going to tell us?"
Feng Shande's voice carried across the entire procession, reaching everyone in an instant.
At once, gazes filled with surprise and astonishment turned toward Ning Que, Ning Yuanzhou, and Yi Tao.
The Mara soldiers, in particular, regarded them with cold, sinister eyes.
Their dynasty had asked Ning Yuanzhou where the ruins were several times, but he had always refused to say.
Yet now that he had gotten together with two men from Great Li, he had spilled it so readily.
That left them deeply displeased.
Ning Yuanzhou's expression turned utterly grim, while surprise showed on Ning Que's face.
The sharpness of a cultivator's six senses exceeded his expectations.
Still, the current procession already met the requirements for entering the ruins, so it no longer mattered whether they told anyone.
Ning Que immediately gave Ning Yuanzhou a look, and the latter understood at once.
An officer in charge of the escort rushed over and kicked Ning Yuanzhou to the ground, cursing, "You dare play us for fools? Didn't you say you didn't know the ruins' exact location? How come you told these two men from Great Li?"
"Spit it out! Where exactly are they? Tell me, or I'll cut you down!"
Clang!
A long saber gleaming with cold light was already pressed against Ning Yuanzhou's neck.
But Feng Shande stopped the officer and walked over to Ning Yuanzhou with a smile. "Ning Yuanzhou, tell me where the ruins are. Tell only me, and I'll guarantee your life. How does that sound?"
