Chapter 757: Not the Truth
"I see."
After hearing Ning Hanyan's description of the jar of wine, Hua Yeli showed a shocked expression.
"Qingluo actually got such a good thing!"
"But the key is Mr. Gu. This kind of spirit wine, which even the Demon Emperor would fight over, is actually given directly to a disciple. Either he doesn't know the effects of this wine, or he doesn't care."
Ning Hanyan shrugged.
She figured Gu Heng probably didn't care, since he claimed the wine was homemade, and if it was homemade, how could he not know?
Perhaps the wine only had no effect on Gu Heng, but it would be different for others. "Let's give Qingluo some rewards that match her status and strength, otherwise Mr. Gu will use the excuse of not being able to freeload to stuff her with many things that could kill her."
Ning Hanyan now sees the aspect of Gu Heng that embodies the qualities of a "supreme powerhouse".
Top-grade medicinal herbs and spirit wines were treated as worthless and casually given away to others.
To Gu Heng, these things might really be insignificant, but if taken outside, they could cause a bloodbath, who knows what kind of bloodshed they might stir up.
If we only look at Gu Heng's performance a month ago, it would be really difficult to make a judgment.
It's actually quite difficult to evaluate right now.
After all, he is probably the only one who possesses both the warmth of an ordinary person and the majesty of a powerful figure.
For example, they have long since severed ties with the word "ordinary." "...Someone's coming!"
Sudden.
Ning Hanyan's gaze was fixed on the entrance to the palace.
Right there, even though it was completely empty and she couldn't sense any presence, she instinctively felt that something had appeared in that spot.
A certain ordinary yet undeniable existence!
"It's him."
After a moment of subconscious tension, Hua Yeli relaxed.
It wasn't that she felt the newcomer wasn't hostile, but struggling was pointless.
"he?"
Ning Hanyan raised an eyebrow, but then immediately understood.
It was that powerful being from beyond the realm who wanted Hua Yeli to kill Zi Yuan and then follow him. That person named Tian Huazi!
"Oh, may I ask who this fellow Daoist is?"
In an instant, a figure appeared out of thin air in Ning Hanyan's eyes. Wearing a bamboo hat and a hemp robe, the figure concealed its true face. Every step it took was so calm, yet it made people dare not make any rash moves.
This person is ridiculously strong.
She could feel that the moment he appeared, a thought had already seen right through her, revealing everything from his strength and aura to his very soul!
This behavior is undoubtedly extremely offensive, and if it were someone of equal standing, it would be enough to justify taking action to demand an explanation!
But if the strong do this to the weak, then the weak have no choice but to remain silent.
After all, the opponent was a powerful being from another world who surpassed the level of the Demon Emperor!
"Condensed with smoke".
Ning Hanyan did not hide her identity, but simply stated her name.
Anyway, the other party won't know what this name represents.
"I've never heard of such a Demon Emperor. Could it be that you've just emerged from your secluded life?"
Tianhua Zi was slightly surprised to see that Ning Hanyan had directly admitted her identity.
But he quickly came to terms with it.
"It's none of your business."
"Hmm, that's true. Anyway, I'm here to discuss important matters with Sect Leader Hua."
Tianhuazi didn't pay attention to Ning Hanyan, but instead focused his gaze on Hua Yeli.
"Sect Leader Hua, what have you thought about the proposal I made a month ago?"
"I reject."
Hua Yeli said decisively. She had no reason to follow Tian Huazi to oppose the Most Demonic Tower. In any case, Ning Hanyan was still alive, and compared to the other person, Mr. Gu was definitely a more trustworthy one.
After all, he was generous, powerful, easy-going, and most importantly, he showed his true face and was quite good-looking.
Anyway, after Hua Yeli met Gu Heng, Tian Huazi was completely erased from her mind.
"Oh? Has Sect Leader Hua encountered some strange event recently, causing you to have other considerations?"
There was a hint of surprise in Tianhua's tone.
Hua Yeli had already started to waver that day, so why is she suddenly unwilling to work together again today?
"I cannot inform you of this matter, but considering that we both stand against the most demonic tower, I will not reveal your existence."
Hua Yeli coldly dismissed him, without intending to answer Tian Huazi's question.
Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together; saying more is a waste of time.
"...Alright, if that's the case."
"As for the truth about why the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor died, as previously agreed, I will not answer."
Tianhuazi didn't procrastinate.
Although Hua Yeli did not agree, unfortunately, he could not kill her. In the current situation, even the death of a Demon Emperor would attract the attention of the Most Demon Tower, which would lead to a hunt targeting him!
"Hmph, I know why. It's because her father died in the Five Realms War, so she was unwilling to contribute to the Demon Tower anymore and was labeled a traitor."
Hua Yeli smiled.
She didn't know about this before.
But recently, Ning Hanyan told her a lot about her past, so Hua Yeli only now realized that Ning Hanyan's father had such an identity.
Like father, like daughter.
This disguised form of patricide makes Ning Hanyan's rebellion against the Most Demonic Tower quite reasonable.
"Hahaha... Sect Leader Hua, don't think you know everything."
But after hearing this, Tianhuazi only showed a disdainful sneer.
"What do you mean?"
"The Scorching Sun Demon Emperor's father did indeed die in the Five Realms War. I can even tell you the names of the four Immortal Emperors who surrounded and killed him, but none of that matters, because that's the reason, not the 'truth'!"
"I could have told you the whole truth, but since you've chosen not to be on my side, there's no need to give you that answer." Tianhuazi straightened his straw hat, then transformed into a sword shadow and vanished without a trace.
Only inside the palace remained Ning Hanyan and Hua Yeli, their brows furrowed, their faces full of confusion.
"the truth?"
After Tian Huazi left, Hua Yeli murmured to herself.
"What does he mean...?"
Ning Hanyan was also full of doubts.
Tian Hua Zi's words bothered her greatly. What other truth could there be about her father's death and the Five Realms War?
But she couldn't just chase after him and ask.
But Ning Hanyan had a premonition that whatever the truth Tian Huazi was talking about, it might be related to the world fragments that Mr. Gu was currently searching for!
Both of them came from outside the realm, and their strength was above that of the Demon Emperor.
Surely there shouldn't be such a coincidence in the world?
