Hearing that cold snort, Qin Luo felt embarrassed. He disliked such deliberate flattery and felt even more uncomfortable at that moment.
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:
"I appreciate Lord Zhao's kindness, but I am exhausted from the journey today and have no heart to appreciate such a magnificent sight. Please excuse me, ladies, and I will certainly listen to your elegant performances another day when I have more free time."
Upon hearing this, the women's faces showed a hint of disappointment, but they dared not say anything more. They all bowed and left the room.
"Young friend, is there anything wrong with this arrangement?"
The butler still wore that seemingly respectful smile, but his eyes were secretly scrutinizing Qin Luo.
Seeing his smiling face, Qin Luo's heart stirred, and he decided to take the opportunity to get some information out of him. So he sighed helplessly and said:
"To be honest, this arrangement is not what I like. I came to Youcheng on someone's behalf, and I have no interest in such pleasures."
Upon hearing Qin Luo's words, the steward's smile faltered slightly, but he quickly regained his composure, gently stroking his beard, and said:
"Since you are not pleased, then it is my fault. I will have someone remove the place and arrange a quiet and elegant resting place for you."
Qin Luo waved his hand and said:
"No need, I appreciate your kindness. But I just heard Lord Zhao say that he has great respect for the Supreme One of Heartfelt Remorse. I'm curious about the background of this Supreme One of Heartfelt Remorse, who has such prestige?"
Upon hearing this, the butler's eyes instantly became wary. He narrowed his eyes, sized up Qin Luo, and slowly said:
“Young friend, the matter of the Supreme One’s conscience is not something we can discuss casually. The Supreme One’s dignity cannot be offended, and his past is even more mysterious and unpredictable. Young master, you should not ask too many questions, lest you bring unnecessary trouble upon yourself.”
Seeing this, Qin Luo quickly smiled and said:
"You've misunderstood. I simply admire the powerful figures of the Netherworld Continent; I have no other intentions. I will be careful with my words and actions and abide by the rules of Netherworld City."
"However, I'm afraid I'll have to talk to that Supreme Heartfelt One next, which is why I'm thinking of learning about his past personality and background."
As Qin Luo spoke, his eyes flickered, and a subtle, almost imperceptible slyness flashed across his face.
Immediately afterwards, he flipped his palm, and a hundred drops of primordial spirit liquid, emitting a faint glow, appeared on his palm. He slightly bowed and subtly handed the spirit liquid to the old man in front of him, who was only at the Divine Travel Realm.
The butler's gaze was instantly drawn to the primordial liquid, a flash of greed crossing his eyes. However, in the blink of an eye, a struggle resurfaced in his eyes.
After a moment, he forced himself to calm down.
He quickly glanced around, then lowered his voice to an almost whispered tone and said:
"Young master, this is absolutely unacceptable. The matter of feeling guilty towards His Majesty is extremely sensitive. If this old servant were to speak of it, I fear my life would be in danger."
"They've taken the bait! As expected, nothing is unmoved by absolute profit."
Qin Luo's lips curled into a faint smile:
"Rest assured, this matter is known only to Heaven, Earth, you, and me, and nothing else. As long as you are willing to reveal a little bit to me, these primordial spiritual liquids will be yours immediately. I am purely out of curiosity and have no other intentions whatsoever, nor will I allow you to be implicated in any way."
The butler hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out his hand decisively, his movement tinged with nervousness.
His eyes remained constantly scanning his surroundings warily, as if afraid someone might be watching him from the shadows. Then, with swift and stealthy movements, he carefully slipped the spiritual liquid into his pocket, his expression a mixture of fear of being discovered and barely concealed excitement and delight at this unexpected windfall.
Then he leaned closer to Qin Luo and whispered:
"Young friend, all I know are scattered rumors. It is said that the Supreme Being Xin Kui was directly appointed by the higher authorities to this Netherworld Continent a thousand years ago."
At this point, the butler subtly pointed upwards with his finger before continuing softly:
"But I overheard the city lord mention that this 'Heartfelt Supreme' was not his original title. His original title was... 'Formless Supreme'."
"But this name was only revealed in a few words from the city lord, and this old servant cannot be sure if it is true or false. This is all the information this old servant has. I beg you, young master, to be lenient and not make things difficult for this old servant any further."
Before Qin Luo could react, the Supreme Remnant Soul suddenly appeared like a ghost, and a sinister black mist instantly enveloped the butler.
His voice was icy cold, filled with an intense, unyielding hatred, as he spoke, each word distinct and deliberate:
"What did you just say? What's the name of that Supreme Heartless One? Repeat it to me!"
The butler was clearly startled; within the black mist, his body trembled, and his voice became broken and intermittent with fear.
"Senior... that person's name is Wuxiang Supreme, but... but it was really just something the city lord mentioned unintentionally. I... I would never dare to utter a single falsehood!"
"Wan Run! You treacherous villain, how dare you still cling to life in this world?!"
The voice of the Supreme Remnant Soul suddenly rose in pitch, becoming sharp and somewhat piercing, its hatred reaching the heavens.
"This is bad! We should stay here any longer!"
As he finished speaking, a thick black mist enveloped Qin Luo. At that moment, he was full of doubts, wondering who this Wan Run who had suddenly appeared was. He never expected that he would be swallowed up by the darkness in the next moment.
In an instant, the surrounding space was struck by a tremendous force, shaking and trembling violently. A blinding light burst forth before Qin Luo's eyes, and when the light subsided slightly, he was astonished to find that the surrounding scenery had completely changed.
When he came to his senses, he found himself standing in an area outside Youcheng, but there was no trace of the tranquility and peace of a desolate wilderness.
Everywhere you looked was a scene of utter devastation, a battlefield in ruins. The vast land stretched to the horizon, with shocking cracks crisscrossing the earth, and wisps of black smoke rising faintly from the gaps.
The remnant soul of the Supreme Being hovered in front of him, its eyes fixed on the sky, motionless.
At this moment, her condition was obviously extremely bad. Her once solid black mist body had become as thin as gauze, and it looked like it might be extinguished at any moment. Only a last faint wisp of light stubbornly flickered, indicating that she had not completely disappeared.
At this moment, a magnificent celestial sound seemed to traverse endless distances, rolling in from the distant horizon. The sound first carried a hint of undisguised shock and emotion:
"I never expected you to still be alive!"
Immediately afterwards, a clear call came:
"quiet......"
However, the call had barely uttered the word "You" before the lingering sound was abruptly cut off by the Supreme Remnant Soul.
The remnant soul of the Supreme Being trembled slightly, straining to raise its voice, and hissed:
"To utter my name from the mouth of a despicable wretch like you is a defilement of it! What right do you have? You are worthy!"
