Chapter 792: Chapter 262: Change in Destiny_3
The city lord listened carefully, feeling greatly enriched.
White Paper Immortal City.
Colossal statue at the southern part of the city.
Ning Zhuo and Wen Ruanyu were investigating inside the statue.
“This is a chanical artifact, mainly using the two cultivation techniques of talisman making and paper folding. Mother’s ingenuity in the chanical techniques is so profound and inventive, I am far from reaching the sa level!”
Ning Zhuo felt a surge of emotions.
Though he’s committed to studying chanical techniques, he’s still young, just beginning his cultivation journey, with much room to improve his foundation and skill level.
At this mont, a flying ssage entered the statue and landed in Wen Ruanyu’s hand.
Wen Ruanyu scanned it with his divine sense and smiled brightly: “Jiao Ma, good news. The city lord personally interrogated those three Golden Core Ghost Generals, yielding ample information. They all hail from a Netherworld force called Wangchuan Underworld!”
“Wangchuan Underworld?” Ning Zhuo’s face slightly changed, “This is akin to a state power in the Mortal World, and the city lord must be at the Transforming Spirit Level, right?”
Wen Ruanyu nodded but reassured him: “Though that may be so, the Netherworld and Mortal World are separated, and the city lord is formidable, thus it’s impossible for him to traverse to the Mortal World. Otherwise, had the city lord acted personally, our White Paper Immortal City would have long been destroyed.”
Ning Zhuo squinted: “Previously there were no Yin Soldiers or Ghost Generals, yet this ghost tide has this new developnt. I heard that Wangchuan Underworld has been covertly ddling for a long ti?”
Wen Ruanyu nodded: “Indeed. Ghost tides are normal phenona, but they don’t truly erupt frequently. Wangchuan Underworld had secretly intervened decades ago, stirring each ghost tide.”
A sharp glare flashed in Ning Zhuo’s eyes, secretly gritting his teeth, he thought to himself: “Wangchuan Underworld… Well done. It was you that made my mother sacrifice so much, even shortening her life to protect the city.”
He pondered and asked: “Why did the underworld city lord intend harm to White Paper Immortal City decades ago? Could it be that he wants to leave the Netherworld, defy the heavens, and plot against the Mortal World?”
Wen Ruanyu shook his head: “I am not sure of the specifics, but…”
“But what?” Ning Zhuo pursued.
Wen Ruanyu hesitated briefly but spoke: “Back then, Senior Sister ng seed to discover certain clues, having so insights.”
“What clues?” Ning Zhuo asked again.
Wen Ruanyu shook his head: “I only know what Senior Sister ng ntioned. She left behind a secret treasure, to be discovered by soone destined, specifically ant for the arrangents here.”
Upon hearing about the secret treasure again, Ning Zhuo continued to inquire.
Wen Ruanyu smiled wryly: “I’ve been in White Paper Immortal City all these years, constantly searching for this secret treasure, yet never found anything. Sotis I wonder if it was just Senior Sister ng’s psychological ploy to motivate the citizens to actively participate in defense, with no real secret treasure.”
Ning Zhuo nodded and continued his observations.
Sun Lingtong beca sowhat impatient, questioning secretly: “Little Zhuo, you’ve looked for so long, have you found any clues about the traitor?”
Ning Zhuo nodded internally, speaking truthfully to Sun Lingtong: “Boss, I’m not Zhu Xuanji, what investigative skills would I have?”
“My purpose here is rely to examine the arrangents my mother made personally, to assess how much spiritual nature these cremations possess.”
Sun Lingtong fell silent.
Ning Zhuo chuckled: “Prepare for failure first, right? Eh?”
Sun Lingtong: “What’s the matter?”
Ning Zhuo’s communicative tone changed: “Boss, take a closer look, is the chanical arrangent here one of mother’s techniques?”
Sun Lingtong scrutinized: “Indeed, it is. It was your mother’s original creation, quite ingenious, moving forward in one direction provides a set of effects. Reversing direction, there’s another power entirely.”
“Perhaps, perhaps there is another hidden space here!”
“Little Zhuo!”
“Why do you think your mother arranged it this way?”
Ning Zhuo felt a shock in his heart, almost blurting out: “Secret treasure?”
