C49 Withering Demon Mountain Range!
The next day.
A shocking piece of news came out from the Ji family: Ji Xiong was going to go into closed door cultivation. Before he went into closed door cultivation, he had handed all the matters of the family to the Great Elder and Ji Weitian.
Ji Wuyan was slightly surprised when he heard the news. He guessed that Ji Xiong must have found Ji Batian's corpse and found something.
In fact, that was the truth.
That night, Ji Xiong found Ji Batian at the edge of a lake. As the saying goes, grief is greater than death. The eldest son framed his second son and was arrested and disappeared. His grandson had killed his eldest son. Such a difficult decision made him feel extremely tired. So he gave his all and put all of his attention on the path of cultivation.
Regarding this matter, Ji Wuyan did not feel much about it. In the morning, he went to visit Ji Weitian's family. Then, he rushed to the market and met up with Bi Faang, who had specially stayed for the night, at the city gate. After that, they left Panshan County together.
Orchid County was indeed a more prosperous city than Panshan County. It hadn't even stepped into the city gate yet. Along the way, they saw wave after wave of merchants and adventurers rushing to the city with a large pile of items. They looked at the 50 meter tall city wall not far away. There were all kinds of magnificent buildings inside, like a huge coiling dragon. They were situated in the city with a solemn atmosphere.
After entering the Orchid County, the two of them walked in the crowded market. It was as if they had fallen into a quagmire, and it was extremely difficult for them to take a step forward. After a few twists and turns, the two of them finally passed through the crowded street. They arrived at a sparsely populated stairway. There was a pavilion on the stairway.
That pavilion looked ordinary from the outside, but it was no different from an ordinary building. It was just that the place it was built was a bit strange.
Ji Wuyan wasn't in a hurry. Since Bi Faang had brought him here, he believed that there must be a universe inside.
"Mr Ji, this is the Tower of All Things. Don't look at this place. In fact, only a few families and forces know what this place is for." Bi Faang pointed at the pavilion and explained with a smile.
Ji Wuyan nodded and the two of them walked up the stairs together.
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked out of the door. There was a hint of joy between his brows. It seemed like he had gotten what he wanted.
Ji Wuyan glanced at him and then looked away. He turned his eyes to the door and thought to himself, Is this All Creation Tower really that powerful?
Is it really that powerful? I'll know when I try.
The two of them pushed open the door and walked in. There was a counter inside. Beside the counter sat a beautiful woman around the age of 25 or 26. She was dressed in red, and her chest was full of breasts that seemed to be on the verge of bursting. What should be exposed, what should not be revealed, was just right. Although no one saw anything, it was extremely tempting.
"Oh, so it's you two little brothers. I wonder what you want to know?" The bewitching woman made an extremely enticing gesture and said while smiling at the two of them.
Although the other party was teasing the two of them like this, Ji Wuyan didn't dare to be too impudent.
Because with his sharp soul perception, he discovered that this woman's aura wasn't any weaker than those Family Heads. Although that obscure aura was hidden very deeply, it couldn't hide from him.
Glancing at Bi Faang, he discovered that other than some joy from seeing beautiful things, there wasn't anything bad in the other party's eyes. She was still as refined and calm as before.
Seeing this, Ji Wuyan could not help but praise in his heart.
"Sister, do you have any information about the Netherworld Palace here? I want to know more information about this power." Ji Wuyan asked with a smile on his face.
"Of course. I wonder if this little brother has brought enough money? I want to know the information about this Netherworld Palace. This money is not cheap!" The bewitching woman looked at Ji Wuyan in surprise, then she chuckled and asked.
"How much do you need?"
Previously, he had found hundreds of thousands of gold notes on Ji Batian. Although it looked like a lot, Ji Wuyan didn't dare guarantee it. After all, he didn't know how the market was like here.
"One hundred thousand gold coins!" ___ said.
The coquettish woman said with a smile.
"So expensive!"
This sentence was not said by Ji Wuyan, but by Bi Faang who was standing beside him.
Bi Faang's face was full of shock. No wonder he was like this. After all, he had been here a few times before, but that was only a few thousand or tens of thousands of gold coins.
One hundred thousand gold coins was equivalent to the Bi family's annual income.
"Different information, of course, different prices. Little brother, do you not understand?" The bewitching woman blinked her watery and alluring eyes and replied with a smile.
Bi Faang smiled awkwardly. How could he not understand? It was just that the price was too expensive, so he couldn't help but be surprised.
"Mr Ji, I think it's still..."
Just as Bi Faang was about to persuade Ji Wuyan to give up, a domineering sentence interrupted his words.
"Alright, I'll buy it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bi Faang's eyes widened as he saw ___ take out a stack of golden notes from his pocket. There were at least a dozen notes, and each of them was worth ten thousand gold coins.
"Oh? I didn't expect this younger brother to be a rich man."
The bewitching woman was also slightly stunned. Immediately, she chuckled lightly, took the gold note, picked up the pen, and wrote a few words on the paper. She rolled it up and placed it into a bamboo tube. She opened a drawer below and handed it inside.
A moment later, a female servant walked out from the black curtain behind the bewitching woman with a document in her hand.
The bewitching woman handed it to Ji Wuyan and said with a smile, "Little brother, this is the information you want!"
Ji Wuyan nodded. He took the document and left with Bi Faang.
Not long after the two of them left, the bewitching woman suddenly took out a piece of information from the drawer. She looked at it for a moment, then put it on the table. Her red lips licked slightly. "Interesting. I didn't expect that little guy to be the man that the young lady took a fancy to."
"I wonder what kind of charm that little fellow has to be able to make that high and mighty young lady look at him in a new light?"
There was a profile picture on the document, and if Ji Wuyan saw that profile picture, he would definitely be shocked because that profile picture was himself.
What was written inside was basically all the changes he had made recently, including the fact that he had won the first place in the competition yesterday.
He did not expect the Myriad Tower to collect information so quickly. It had only been a day.
After leaving the Myriad Tower, the two of them found an empty space. Ji Wuyan looked at it and not long after, a shocked expression appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Bi Faang could not help but ask curiously, "Mr Ji, how is it? Did you find any news?"
Ji Wuyan came back to his senses and his face turned ugly. He nodded heavily and handed the document to Bi Faang. "Take a look!"
"Is it appropriate?" ___ asked. Bi Faang asked hesitantly.
Although he really wanted to know what kind of power this Netherworld Palace was and why they had captured Ji Wuyan's father, this information was bought by Ji Wuyan with a hundred thousand gold notes. This showed the importance of this information.
"It's fine. Take a look!"
Ji Wuyan shook his head and casually handed the information to him.
Seeing this, Bi Faang did not say much. At this moment, he would be hypocritical no matter what he said. He nodded slightly and took the document and began to read it quietly.
Gradually, surprise, shock, and anger appeared on his face. When he finished reading, his face turned completely black. There was fear and anger in his eyes.
According to this document, the Netherworld Palace was a force that specialized in capturing those gifted geniuses. As for the reason, it wasn't clear. It only said that they would draw the blood of those geniuses every month.
Because those people from the Netherworld Palace were acting strangely and secretly, not many people had discovered them. Even until now, no one had been able to find out where their stronghold was located.
"Since there is such an evil force, it is truly terrifying!" Bi Faang took a few deep breaths. Only then did his heart slowly calm down, and he couldn't help but mutter.
Ji Wuyan did not say anything, but his eyes kept blinking.
Even the All Things Tower did not manage to find the stronghold of the Netherworld Palace. Ning Yue, that little girl, actually found it and even gave him a clear map of the stronghold.2
This made him very confused about Ning Yue's identity.
After thinking for a moment, Ji Wuyan finally decided to go somewhere to take a look. So he said to Bi Faang, "Brother Bi, you should be careful in the future. I still have things to do, so I'll take my leave first!"
"What!? You are leaving now?"
Bi Faang was stunned.
"There is a long way to go. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Farewell!"
After Ji Wuyan said this, under Bi Faang's shocked gaze, he ran towards the market, his figure swaying. In a few breaths time, he disappeared into the vast sea of people, and in his hand... He was still holding the information that he had bought from the All Things Tower with a hundred thousand gold banknotes.
He had not even returned the things in his hands to the other party!
Staring blankly at the information in his hands, Bi Faang could not help but laugh bitterly to himself. He sighed with emotion. This new friend of his had really regarded money as dirt. He did not want the things that were worth a hundred thousand gold notes just like that.
Thinking about the ten golden notes, even he couldn't help feeling pain for Ji Wuyan.
...
The Dry Devil Mountain Range was lush with trees and abundant resources. From south to south, north to capital city, it traversed seven cities in Northern Zhou Dynasty. It was the largest and most numerous demon beasts in Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the most mysterious mountain range in the region.
In the center of the mountain range, there were all kinds of incomparably powerful demon beasts entrenched within. Even the top experts of the human race didn't dare to rashly step into it. It was said that there was once a Prominent Sage Stage expert who tried to explore the center of the mountain range. However, after entering the mountain range on the same day... There was no news of him.
Three days later, a fifty man expedition team entered. Less than 500 meters away from the outer perimeter, they found a scattered skeleton next to it. There was a black iron sword, and that black iron sword. It was the only weapon that the Prominent Sage Stage warrior had on him before he entered the mountain range.
Even a Prominent Sage Stage warrior had died here, and he hadn't even stepped into the center of the mountain range. It was imaginable how terrifying the Drought Demon Mountain Range was. On the same day, the fifty explorers were scared away.
Since then, no adventurers dared to enter the mountain range easily. At most, they could only move within a thousand meters of the mountain range.
