The Eyes Are the Windows to the Soul, So a Mask Is No Use Either... What the Hell Are You Closing Your Eyes For?

"I'm tempted, and I want it, but it's far from being a strong desire."

Ning Chuan clearly explained his reasons, saying, " The Prison-Suppressing Dao Lineage is a martial art of the body cultivation path. My talent in this area was once tested in a prehistoric site, and it was far inferior to that of the original cultivation path."

Even if I obtain the Prison-Suppressing Dao Lineage, I will find it difficult to use myself and can only trade it with the forces of the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom.

But before cooperating with Ning Chuan, I couldn't get in touch with people like you.

Finally, Ning Chuan glanced at the burly man in the beast-patterned robe and said coldly, "Most importantly, the Prison-Suppressing Dao Lineage isn't so easy to obtain. Even if I hadn't given Ning Chuan that information, he'd probably still be alive!"

The burly man in the animal-patterned robe seemed to be thinking, and subconsciously licked the corner of his mouth, asking, "How's that kid doing now?"

"I have a general idea."

Ning Chuan stared directly at the burly man in the beast-patterned robe, a greedy glint in his eyes, and said, "But this information won't come cheap!"

"I don't know the exact value of the Prison-Suppressing Dao Lineage, but judging from the Spirit-Seeking Talisman sent by the Moxuan Consortium, it's probably no less valuable than several King-Bestowing martial arts techniques!"

Ning Chuan said firmly.

Seeing this, the burly man in the beast-patterned robe couldn't help but feel a sense of disdain.

A native is a native!

Their limited perspective is laughable.

A top expert from an Gu Xing, whose imagination is limited to the martial arts of King and Marquis and nobles.

It should be known that some of the glorious deeds of the Prison-Suppressing Manor are still being passed down in the Universe, and its supreme inheritance is undoubtedly at the level of Divine Art!

Suppressing his surging thoughts, the burly man in the beast-patterned robe grinned and said in a deep voice, "The price is negotiable, there's nothing we can't discuss! You risked everything to trade with Ning Chuan, obtaining the key to this Ancient Pilgrimage Path, wasn't it all for the sake of cooperating with us!"

Not entirely correct.

Ning Chuan sensed the assertiveness in the other party's words, shook his head, and said, "I do want to cooperate, but my real target is not you, but the Moxuan Consortium."

"I originally thought Zhang Tianzhi was someone secretly supported by the Moxuan Consortium to keep Gu Yunyou in check."

On the way here, Ning Chuan had already thought of various coping strategies.

At this moment, he calmly explained, "Therefore, I want to replace Zhang Tianzhi's position and establish connections with the Moxuan Consortium."

After listening, the burly man in the beast-patterned robe narrowed his eyes slightly and reminded him in a sarcastic tone, " The Moxuan Consortium is not a benevolent force; it is notoriously ruthless in the Divine Kingdom."

"Take out a small profit, and you'll earn it back hundreds or thousands of times later."

"Maybe so, I don't know if it's true or not."

Ning Chuan shrugged, not continuing the topic, and then fabricated a reason for not revealing his identity, saying:

"Betrayal of the Holy Heaven Alliance is a capital offense."

I have already committed that mistake.

But if I cooperate with the Moxuan Consortium, even if Gu Yunyou finds out later, he won't dare to kill me.

If it were any other force, my life would be in danger. Not to mention Gu Yunyou, even the Moxuan Consortium would probably want to kill me. Once exposed, I would be dead for sure!

Ning Chuan's words implied that the Moxuan Consortium was more beneficial to him and that she was the goddess he truly wanted to pursue.

The faction to which the burly man in the beast-patterned robe belonged seemed more like a backup plan born out of necessity.

Of course, this is merely a strategic retreat to gain a more advantageous position in the cooperation.

The burly man in the animal-patterned robe understood this principle as well. His face remained expressionless as he calmly asked, "Are there any other factors?"

Ning Chuan remained silent upon hearing this, seemingly hesitant. After a moment, he nodded and said, "I think your power is not as strong as the Moxuan Consortium, or rather, you are not as generous as them."

"This is not a deliberate slander!"

" Gu Yunyou has partnered with the Moxuan Consortium and has already advanced to the Sea Realm, becoming the strongest person in the Heavenly Martial Realm and Martial Star!"

Ning Chuan glanced at the burly man in the beast-patterned robe and said in a low voice, " Zhang Tianzhi, who cooperated with you, didn't even improve his strength much, let alone advance to the Sea Realm. He only comprehended a Fourth-Grade Law of the Divine General Realm, and was ultimately killed by Ning Chuan at the Divine Martial Stele!"

"That's pure speculation!"

Hearing this, the burly man in the animal-patterned robe couldn't hold back any longer. He widened his eyes, glared at Ning Chuan, and said irritably, "This has nothing to do with us; it's entirely Zhang Tianzhi's own fault."

Ning Chuan extended his hand, indicating, "I'd like to hear the details."

The more information he has, the better he can hide it.

The burly man in the beast-patterned robe said, "First, Zhang Tianzhi and Gu Yunyou are not on the same level in terms of strength and status. What they obtain through cooperation should naturally be unequal."

"Secondly, and most importantly."

The burly man in the beast-patterned robe snorted coldly, both resentful and helpless, and said, "I would like to help Zhang Tianzhi break through to the Sea Realm, but his Law are only at the fifth rank, and the upper limit is the Great River Realm."

To advance to the Sea Realm, one must master a Fourth-Grade Law!

As he spoke, the burly man in the beast-patterned robe calmed his mind and focused intently on the two people in the secret realm.

He had dealt with Zhang Tianzhi before and knew that the current Heavenly Martial Realm was unaware of the common knowledge that Law have upper limits.

When first hearing information that concerns one's future prospects, it's easy to feel a sense of unease.

If he could see this, he could use it to narrow down the possibilities of the man in black robes.

Inside the light barrier, Li Wenyue's expression stiffened slightly upon hearing the words of the burly man in the beast-patterned robe.

Clearly, the Law they have mastered are below the fourth rank.

The burly man in the animal-patterned robe ignored him and focused all his attention on the man in black robes beside him.

Because of the restrictions of the Ancient Pilgrimage Path, his spiritual power could not penetrate the mask worn by the man in black robes, and he could not see the expression on his face.

However, the mask did not cover the black-robed man's eyes.

For a powerful figure like him, who has lived through countless years, a single change in his gaze can reveal a wealth of information.

But the next moment, the burly man in the beast-patterned robe clearly saw that Ning Chuan had closed his eyes.

The burly man in the animal-patterned robe. "???"

After a short while, Ning Chuan let out a long breath and muttered, "There's actually such a restriction."

As he spoke, he reopened his eyes and looked at the burly man in the beast-patterned robe. His gaze was now calm and still, without any emotional fluctuations, as he had known all along.
