Suqiu’s Shame

The war between the Devil armies and Yue armies had shocked every sect in Yue country in just three days.

The destruction of Extreme Yin Gate and the reappearance of the corpse devil from two thousand years ago had almost brought Yue country into the brink of extinction.

There was a total of three Nascent Soul experts that appeared in this war. When they were battling, visions of dragon fire could be vaguely seen by all of the experts in Yue Country.

Within a hundred li of the ancient battlefield, which was the site of the final battle had also been burnt into a wasteland. Not even a blade of grass could grow there. Such a condition left the cultivators who came and explored the area terrified.

On the other hand, more cultivators were heading to Ning City. Every one of them carried the hope to meet the Nascent Soul experts—Black Devil Ning and Jing Zhuo. However, martial law had been imposed in Ning City today. Jing Zhuo and Black Devil Ning had gone into seclusion. The person who greeted the cultivators who came to pay a visit was Nan Gong who always carried a soft smile.

“Ask me anything if you have any queries. However, I cannot guarantee that everything I tell is the truth,” said Nan Gong who was sitting on a tall seat while leisurely enjoying his fragrant tea.

At the side, several sect leaders from second class sects appeared immediately. They obediently offered their pouches to Nan Gong and asked, “Hehe, Nan Gong, the Vice City Lord and also the right-hand man of Black Devil Ning naturally has a lot of secrets that cannot be told. It’s understandable… understandable… These are just some small gifts from us, a little token to show our respect to you.” All of them had benign smiles spreading over their faces.

Nan Gong chuckled and said, “You all are so kind. However, I cannot receive the gifts, absolutely cannot.” Nan Gong deliberately pretended to decline their offers. The leaders gritted their teeth and took out a few more pouches and offered them respectfully.

Then, Nan Gong received the expensive gifts helplessly. He checked the pouches with his spirit sense and found out that there were at least ten thousand immortal jades.

“Ah, it is difficult to turn down this generous offer. Let me help you to clear your doubts. If you have any questions, please ask.”

“Is Master Black Devil the expert who killed the corpse devil? There are rumours saying that Master Black Devil was Revered Ning of Sinister Sparrow Sect. Are these rumours true?

“Those rumours are of course nonsense. My young lord, Ning Fan, is definitely not a Nascent Soul expert. He is not even a Gold Core expert. I can make an oath with my Heart Devil!” said Nan Gong with honesty.

Ning Fan was in fact a half-step Gold Core expert. However, the truth that Black Devil Ning was Ning Fan should always remain hidden. He would not tell the people as it was better to keep it mysterious.

“Aiya, there is no need for Vice City Lord Nan to make an oath with the Heart Devil. It makes us afraid of asking other questions…” said the old monsters with shame on each of their faces. They felt that they had owed Nan Gong a favor. However, their intention of making friends with Ning City became even more determined.

“Haha. This is nothing…” said Nan Gong with a smile while shaking his head.

Yu Chi who was standing beside looked at Nan Gong in awe. On the other hand, Nan Gong’s facial muscles made a rare twitch.

Nan Gong had just sweet-talked the group of old monsters. With just that, ten thousand immortal jades came to hand. Nan Gong would not spend those for personal use, but for the development of Ning City. In fact, it was Nan Gong’s doing that Ning City did not experience insufficiency of wealth.

“Let me explain the particulars of that battle for all of you…”

When Nan Gong started his explanation, all of the old monsters sat on their places and listened attentively. All of them were afraid that they would miss out one of the details.

When Nan Gong spoke of the thrilling parts in the battle, the old monsters’ faces turned slightly pale without them realizing.
