Faced with Zhao Jinlai's explanation, Su Luo paused, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.
That's a good explanation; you don't need to explain it again next time.
A place to find treasure?
A cursed artifact? Ghost money? Money? Power?
It seems that Su Luo has all these things now.
If there's one thing she needs most, it's probably a magical artifact. But with Hongxiu around, aside from the essential storage ring she can use, all the other magical artifacts tremble with fear as soon as she gets close, refusing to be used by her no matter what. She's tried several times and it's the same. What can she do?
"Not interested."
The answer was expected, and Zhao Jinlai wasn't surprised. But these weren't the most precious things in the Sacred Domain's Forbidden Zone to begin with. As for why so many strange creatures would flock there every time the Sacred Domain's Forbidden Zone opened, it was simply because...
"It is said that at the end of the forbidden area of the Holy Land lies the secret to the highest realm."
'Snap'.
The list in her hand was slammed shut. Su Luo paused, then looked up and stared coldly at Zhao Jinlai.
He... is he trying to lure me to the forbidden area of the Holy Land?
Is it for that supreme path?
"The Path to Supremacy? Who told you that? Have you been there?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jinlai chuckled awkwardly, pointed to himself, and shook his head. "Me? Lord Luo, please don't joke around. With my talent, how could I possibly reach the end of the Holy Domain's forbidden area?"
"However, it really wasn't someone who spread the rumor."
“I dare not speak about other tricks, but I have full authority to speak on this matter.”
At this point, Zhao Jinlai's expression suddenly became somewhat proud. He straightened his back and said, word by word, "My great-grandfather achieved his current status because he found the end of the forbidden area of the Holy Domain."
Upon hearing this, Su Luo's pupils contracted slightly, then slowly widened, and she looked at Zhao Jinlai with a shocked expression.
So, the Zhao family has this background?!
No wonder Su Luo felt that Zhao Jinlai's status in the Ghost King City of the Apocalypse was unusual. Some ghosts that seemed much more powerful than him were all very polite to him, at least on the surface. So that's why.
With such a powerful family holding sway over the Abyss, even the ordinary monsters venturing into the apocalypse dare not act recklessly.
"So, your great-grandfather's current rank is supreme?"
"Yeah, pretty much."
"almost?"
"This matter is quite complicated," Zhao Jin said, glancing around before pulling a pebble-sized pearl from his sleeve. The moment the pearl appeared, a white light enveloped them.
"Lord Luo, don't be afraid. This Sea-Avoiding Pearl is just a small trick to block out noise. This Abyss is a mixed bag of people. Be careful, the walls may have ears."
Upon hearing this, Su Luo did not deny it. After all, many times, secrets become public secrets because walls have ears.
“My great-grandfather was indeed at the highest level, but for some reason, he could only exert the strength of the peak of the nine stars, at most half a step into the highest realm. That’s why I said that.”
This was indeed an attempt to block out outside information; if other strange creature families found out, the Zhao family's position might be in danger.
No wonder he befriended me so much. If I could really enter the forbidden area of the Holy Domain and obtain the path to the supreme power, then the Zhao family's position would be secure!
Even if not, a powerful monster in the eyes of an outer monster in a high-level realm of the Nine Stars can still help the Zhao family share some of the burden. At least no monster family would be as bold as the Zhao family in targeting them.
It has to be said that Zhao Jinlai is truly a natural businessman; it's easy to add flowers to brocade, but difficult to provide charcoal in the snow.
He had helped her several times on the train, which left a good impression on Su Luo. Now that he was bringing her into the Abyss, it was only natural that he would not stand idly by if the Zhao family really encountered trouble, as long as she could help.
If the forbidden area of the Holy Land truly holds a supreme path, she wouldn't mind taking a look. In any case, the opening time of the forbidden area coincides perfectly with the opening of the [Abyss] passage. Going directly home after visiting the forbidden area would be a way to maximize her benefits.
"Alright, let's go take a look at the so-called forbidden area of the Holy Land."
Upon receiving Su Luo's affirmation, Zhao Jinlai nodded repeatedly, "Alright, I'll make the arrangements right away. However, Lord Luo, the Holy Domain Forbidden Area is fraught with danger. If it's not feasible, please leave as soon as possible. Don't risk your life for the path to the supreme realm."
Su Luo nodded knowingly. She wasn't stupid. Although the path to the highest realm was tempting, one had to be alive to advance. In those novels where the protagonists were given extraordinary encounters, which one wasn't a place where death was the ultimate goal? Su Luo was naturally not foolish enough to think that a place called the Forbidden Land would be a harmonious place.
...
"What did you say? She went out? Which way did she go?"
"Where else could they go? Where do you think talented young people of this age go at this time?"
"She headed towards the main city of the Holy Land...?"
The person in the main seat uttered a single sentence that confirmed everyone's suspicions.
"Will this... will this work?"
With Hongxiu by my side, there shouldn't be any major problems.
"Who told her about this?"
"I heard it was her business partner, that guy named... Zhao something, who sent the message."
"Zhao what? Is it that kid from the Zhao family in Mu Huai's main city?"
"Who else could it be? I knew this kid had ulterior motives; he actually kidnapped Doctor Su!"
"Where is Doctor Su's pet?"
"They've also disappeared without a trace; they probably went with them."
The entire conference room fell silent upon hearing this.
Who would have thought that waking up early in the morning would bring the earth-shattering news that Doctor Su was taking his entire fortune to the Holy Domain's main city to participate in the Holy Domain's forbidden area!
Should we pursue them?
Finally, the youngest of them, Su Laoqi, glanced at his other brothers who looked very similar and slowly asked tentatively.
"Chase her? How? She drove off in a ghost lantern bone car, the Ferrari of the ghost world, how can we catch her?"
A heavy knock echoed in the conference hall, instantly silencing the previously bustling and lively room. All the strange figures turned to look at the person in the main seat.
"So be it, it is fate. We'll just have to be prepared."
"If those scoundrels dare to bully the weak, our Su family will not stand idly by!"
...
The main city of the Holy Land.
Su Luo's visit to the Holy Domain's main city this time was not widely known. After all, her previous reputation was too famous. If she were to go to seize or search for treasure, she might be attacked by other strange creatures. Therefore, Su Luo directly abandoned her previous disguise and returned to her normal appearance from a young girl.
In their early twenties, they were in their prime before the apocalypse.
However, compared to the previous Su Luo, the current Su Luo seems to have a more sacred and inviolable aura, and the surrounding atmosphere has become much more mysterious and dignified. From a distance, she truly has a beauty that transcends the mortal world.
Not far away, the four golden, solemn characters of the Holy City were reflected in the air.
"parking!"
"Get out of the car and check."
"Token of entry into the city".
