Yan Bing led Lu Ning and Ya En out of the house.

They arrived at a bar.

The bar was filled with various races of exiles, who drank and chatted in small groups, creating a noisy atmosphere.

Upon seeing Lu Ning and his two companions, many people stared at them with hostility in their eyes.

Just then, a tall, humanoid exile whose entire body was made of solidified rock blocked the way for the three of them.

His voice was hoarse, and he mumbled a bunch of things.

Lu Ning couldn't understand, but Ya En next to him frowned.

Lu Ning glanced at Ya En and asked, "What is he saying?"

"He told us to leave the Ruins of Return, that this is not our territory," Yarn explained.

Lu Ning suddenly realized that at that moment, the mental pollution emanating from Yan Bing's body began to dissipate, and frost gradually condensed on his body.

The stone figure, which had been babbling incoherently, froze, staggering backward as it stared at Yan Bing with fear and disbelief in its eyes.

The other exiles who had been watching this place also had their pupils contract.

The exiles then quickly looked away.

A demigod-level powerhouse!

Even in the Ruins of Return, demigod-level powerhouses are not so common, and there are even civilizations that do not have demigod-level powerhouses at all.

Faced with a powerful figure of this caliber, the surrounding exiles were naturally alarmed and somewhat fearful.

Yan Bing didn't make a move. He simply glanced calmly at the terrified stone man before continuing to walk deeper into the bar.

Wherever the three of them went, all the discussions ceased.

Lu Ning sensed fear emanating from them.

Just then, a soft laugh rang out, followed by obscure and incomprehensible words coming from ahead.

The crowd dispersed, and a dark figure shrouded in black mist emerged.

The shadowy figure approached Yan Bing and mumbled a bunch of things.

Lu Ning didn't understand, but Yan Bing and Ya En clearly did.

Lu Ning seemed to be deep in thought. With the immense mental power of a Saint-level being, learning a language would naturally be very fast.

It's normal for Yan Bing to have learned the languages ​​of these civilizations after spending over a thousand years in the Land of Return to Nothingness.

Since Yann had greeted the exiled civilization during his previous and current visits to the Ruins of Return to hunt monsters, it's perfectly normal that he could learn the languages ​​of these races.

Since arriving in the Ruins of Return, Lu Ning has either been tempering his spiritual power or materializing objects at the Tower of Ruins of Return, and has basically not communicated with other exiled civilizations, so he does not know the languages ​​of other civilizations.

Just then, Lu Ning suddenly had an idea.

A pale light flashed in his eyes.

Lu Ning used the power of manifestation.

However, this time, Lu Ning only hoped to master the languages ​​of all the exiled civilizations in the exiled city-states.

This is not a transaction involving goods, nor does it require any physical item.

It has a slightly different function from the original Tower of Ruins.

But Lu Ning felt he could definitely do it.

And in fact, he did just that.

Moreover, it didn't consume much mental energy; Lu Ning only used about a quarter of his mental energy to master hundreds of new languages.

The pale light in Lu Ning's eyes gradually dimmed, and he revealed a thoughtful expression.

This was the first time Lu Ning had used the pale light in this way, and he suddenly thought of some things that had happened along the way.

For example, in Base City 116, you've just started learning combat techniques, Soul-Shaking Fist, Spirit Tempering Method, and so on.

At the time, Lu Ning felt that he could do it, so he did.

He hadn't felt this way before, but now Lu Ning realized that perhaps from that moment on, he seemed to have acquired the power manifested by the pale light.

However, at that time, this power was still very weak and unable to accomplish some particularly difficult tasks.

We can't let things stay the way they are now, as if everything we want has come true.

But for Lu Ning, this characteristic is exactly the same.

Now, with the blessing of the pale light, Lu Ning's wish has come true.

As long as it doesn't exceed his own capabilities, it seems he can do anything he wants.

Even Lu Ning was somewhat surprised by this ability.

How exactly did he master this power?

However, Lu Ning didn't think about it for too long, because the current situation didn't allow it.

After he could understand the conversation between Yan Bing and the shadow, he began to focus on the conversation in front of him.

This shadow must be a powerful member of the Shadowcrown Clan.

Even when communicating with Yan Bing, he did so on an equal footing, clearly indicating that Yan Bing was a demigod-level powerhouse.

Previously, Lu Ning hadn't understood what Yan Bing and the Shadow Crown Clan expert were saying, but now he could understand the Shadow Crown Clan demigod's words.

Although it was just a shadow and Lu Ning couldn't see the Shadow Crown Clan creature's eyes, he could sense its mental fluctuations.

The Shadowcrown demigod seemed somewhat surprised: "So, your idea is to gather all the exiled civilizations that possess demigods to discuss important matters together?"

"Yes, it's a major event concerning the future of the entire Ruins of Return, very important." Yan Bing nodded calmly.

The Shadowcrown Clan demigod was silent for a moment, then spoke up: "Yan Bing, we've known each other for many years. It's not that I don't want to help you, but you just said it casually. I don't know what you're thinking. How can I help you contact other civilizations? If it's just advanced civilizations, that's fine, but top civilizations like the Void Insects, the Lightborn, and the Tarlins might not be interested."

Yan Bing paused for a moment, then said, "Let's find a place and talk about it in detail."

"No problem! Follow me."
