Zhong Fu: "..."
He now understood why the Demon Sword had taken a liking to this girl. She was so ruthless; if she were to fall into demonic ways in the future, her methods would surely become even more cruel!
Seeing that the Sangbiao Sword was gathering its sword energy and about to deliver the final blow, Zhong Fu immediately backed down: "Don't kill me! I... I'll tell you everything!"
Tianning yawned, signaling him to hurry up.
Zhong Fu had never seen anyone so infuriating, yet he was powerless against Tian Ning and could only honestly speak:
"Ten years ago... a Lingyun Sect disciple did indeed wander into this place by mistake, and we didn't kill him..."
Tian Ning raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
These demonic cultivators are no benevolent people; any living person who enters will be possessed. The fact that they spare people is clearly for greater benefit.
Tianning asked, "Why did you spare his life?"
Zhong Fu remained silent for a long time before speaking.
"Dragon Vein—"
Dragon veins are places where spiritual energy gathers.
It is said that the spiritual energy of the Central Continent is greater than that of other continents because the dragon veins are buried there. However, to everyone else, that was just a legend. Tian Ning never expected that this matter could be related to the dragon veins.
Zhong Fu: "Cultivators today may not know this, but we know it all too well. A thousand years ago, the great war was a bloodbath. In order to deal with our army, the righteous path used a formation that almost exhausted the spiritual energy of the entire Central Continent, causing the spiritual veins to dry up."
"In the end, they buried a new dragon vein, which is why the Central Continent has a continuous flow of spiritual energy today."
"And only the people of the Lingyun Sect know the location where the new dragon vein is buried!"
This makes sense. The dragon vein is so important that even after a thousand years, these demonic cultivators' souls still haven't given up their desire to invade the Central Continent.
"Initially, we tried to possess him, but we didn't expect the Lingyun Sect to have fallen so low, and that person even possessed a protective artifact that prevented us from possessing him... For the past ten years, we can only temporarily trap him here, looking for an opportunity to possess him, and to find a way to break through the formation and leave this place..."
"Where are you keeping that person now?" Having asked enough questions, Tianning prepared to leave.
“I can take you there,” Zhong Fu said, his gaze towards Tian Ning now burning with fervor. “Since the Demon Sword has chosen you, you are the future master of the Demon Realm! If you agree to help us break this formation, the souls of my millions of demon cultivators will serve you as our master! And we will help you conquer the Central Continent and unify the world!”
Tianning: "..."
It's a shame this old man isn't involved in pyramid schemes.
Zhong Fu looked very excited, and even his transparent soul became more materialized: "As long as we obtain the Dragon Vein and gather the Demon Army, all of this will no longer be a dream!"
Tian Ning remained completely unmoved: "Thanks for the invitation."
She still prefers to lie in bed reading storybooks and just lazing around.
Zhong Fu: "..."
Zhong Fu couldn't believe Tian Ning would refuse: "My new master, when that time comes, you will be the only one who reigns supreme under the Heavenly Dao!"
That's a position second only to the emperor, above ten thousand others!
Tianning: "Don't try to fool me. I'm a salted fish; I can't handle this."
She had already downloaded the national anti-fraud app!
The Demon Sword, on the other hand, was deeply moved. Wasn't what Zhong Fu said exactly what he had originally intended?
He said Ningning was his chosen one, and that such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity could come about just by casually strolling through a secret realm! Now that a bright future is right in front of them, how could they miss it!
"Ningning, how about..."
