"Greetings, Your Majesty. Thank you for taking the time to see me despite your busy schedule."
Ning Fengzhi bowed slightly, adopting a very humble attitude.
As the sect leader of one of the three upper sects, he was usually revered by thousands, but now, facing this mysterious powerhouse, he felt that this respect was necessary.
In the darkness, the blurry figure did not get up, but a gentle voice came from within.
"Sect Leader Ning, there's no need to be so polite. Just call me Dark Night."
"In the early days of the dueling arena, there was a shortage of funds. Thanks to Sect Leader Ning's generous donations, he contributed a lot."
Qin Chen leaned back in his chair, his fingers lightly tapping the table: "I will always remember this favor."
These words instantly relaxed Ning Fengzhi's tense nerves considerably.
He felt secretly relieved, but also somewhat regretful.
His disciple, Prince Xue Qinghe, approached him, saying he needed to help a friend build a venue and asked to borrow money from him for working capital.
He gave it to Xue Qinghe out of consideration for him, and didn't take it to heart at all. He hasn't even come to see him once in the past ten years.
If he had known earlier that this friend possessed such terrifying resources, he would have prepared generous gifts and even worn out the doorstep just to make the connection!
But he couldn't understand it either: you guys are all so strong, why are you still short of money?
Ning Fengzhi steadied himself and asked the question that had been lingering in his mind: "Lord Dark Night, I would like to know, what about the golden canopy outside..."
"Was it something done by the legendary divine realm?"
His Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School possesses numerous ancient texts, including some records of the ethereal divine realm.
Who but a god could possess such extraordinary abilities?
"The realm of gods?"
The man in the darkness chuckled softly, his tone tinged with disdain.
"No, that is an existence that is countless times more powerful than those so-called gods in the God Realm."
"What?!"
Ning Fengzhi's pupils contracted sharply, and his heart skipped a beat.
More powerful than a god?
This answer was completely beyond his comprehension.
But he was a cunning old fox after all, and he knew that there were some things he shouldn't ask too many questions about; the more he knew, the worse it was.
He immediately shut his mouth and didn't ask any further questions.
Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath and quickly adjusted his state: "Lord Dark Night, now that the list of beauties has been exposed, your dueling arena has become the target of everyone's attacks."
"The Spirit Hall people are domineering, and other major forces are definitely eyeing this place covetously. They will surely send people to snatch the listed women,"
Ning Fengzhi spoke sincerely as he said this.
"If Your Excellency Dark Night does not mind, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is willing to do everything in its power to assist you!"
Originally, I just wanted to test the waters and maybe curry favor.
But along the way, he encountered three people who were all ridiculously strong, which made him completely change his mind.
This is no longer about providing timely help; it's about seizing the opportunity while there's still some connection to the family and quickly latching onto this mysterious and powerful figure!
However, the man at the desk simply declined.
"Sect Leader Ning is very kind."
"They're nothing but a bunch of clowns. If they can't even handle this little bit of trouble, there's no point in me opening this dueling arena."
"However, if there is any need for help, I will not hesitate to lend a hand."
Although Ning Fengzhi was rejected, he breathed a sigh of relief. It was a good thing that the other party hadn't made a definitive statement.
"Perfect timing, I've also prepared a return gift for Sect Leader Ning's help back then."
Qin Chen's voice rang out again.
"Qingzhu, take him to Green Garden."
"Let Ah Yin pick a Ke Ling fruit for him to eat; I think Sect Leader Ning will definitely like it."
"Huh? This..."
Ning Fengzhi was taken aback. He had originally wanted to chat a bit more and get to know each other better, but he didn't expect that they would serve tea and send him away so soon.
And what is that Keling Fruit? And who is Ah Yin?
Before he could think further, the voluptuous girl in black who had been standing in the dark corner came out.
Her face was cold and beautiful, and her voice was indifferent: "Sect Leader Ning, this way please."
Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi could only nod and express his gratitude: "Thank you, Lord Dark Night. I will accept your thanks without hesitation."
As Ning Fengzhi left the oppressive room, he felt that the back of his clothes was soaked, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.
He followed the girl in black named Qingzhu along the corridor deep inside the dueling arena.
As he walked, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but secretly observe the girl's back.
Her black bodysuit accentuated her incredibly voluptuous figure.
"strangeness..."
Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly, muttering to himself.
"Where do I feel like I've seen that figure before?"
"They look a bit like the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire..."
Just as he was deep in thought.
"Da, da, da."
Suddenly, a rhythmic sound of footsteps came from the dark and secluded corner ahead.
The quiet corridor felt exceptionally refreshing.
Ning Fengzhi subconsciously looked up.
A woman dressed in the same white butler's uniform as the ice butler slowly walked out.
She had long, silver-white hair, fair skin, delicate features, and a tall figure, exuding an innate elegance and refinement.
The strangest thing is that even though she was walking indoors, it seemed as if tiny snowflakes were dancing around her.
The moment she appeared, the surrounding air instantly dropped to freezing point.
Ning Fengzhi felt a shiver run through his body, and the hair on his body stood on end. This feeling was even colder than that of the Ice Deacon!
Another reclusive titled Douluo?
How come everyone who randomly appears in this Dark Night Duel Arena is so terrifying!
Now he feels that the girl in front of him, Qingzhu, is the most normal one.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing, who had walked ahead, stopped and asked curiously, "Sister Xue, where are you going?"
Xue Linglong didn't stop walking, and didn't even glance at Ning Fengzhi beside her.
Her voice was like an icicle falling to the ground, clear and melodious, yet chilling to the bone.
"Go kill someone."
These three simple words convey an indifference that regards all living beings as mere ants.
As soon as she finished speaking, she walked past the two of them.
In that instant, Ning Fengzhi felt his heart stop beating, as if death had passed by him.
Only after the silver-haired woman's figure disappeared into the darkness did Ning Fengzhi gasp for breath, still shaken.
"Who...who is this?"
Zhu Zhuqing seemed used to it, but simply shook her head and didn't offer any further explanation.
After all, Sister Xue is only passionately devoted to the king; she's always been like this to everyone else.
Let's go.
Zhu Zhuqing continued to lead the still somewhat dazed Ning Fengzhi deeper into the area.
After passing through several corridors, the two finally stopped in front of a large, emerald-green door.
The door is carved with intricate patterns and exudes a rich sense of life. Just standing here and taking a breath of it makes you feel refreshed.
Zhu Zhuqing said coldly, "Sect Leader Ning, once you go in, whatever you see or hear..."
"After you leave, you must not utter a single word about it to anyone."
"otherwise..."
Zhu Zhuqing didn't mention the consequences, but the warning was self-evident.
Ning Fengzhi looked at the girl in front of him, who was not much older than his daughter, and nodded subconsciously, his voice a little hoarse.
"Don't worry, young lady, I know the rules."
Zhu Zhuqing then reached out and pushed open the emerald green door.
"Squeak—"
As the gate opened, a spiritual energy a hundred times richer than that of the outside world rushed out.
Ning Fengzhi looked up and froze on the spot after seeing the scene inside.
