Wei Ying didn't expect that Nangong Yun would dare to despise the Martial Arts Hall so much, so he said quickly.
"Even if you kill me, you will only destroy one of my souls. You can't really do anything to me. If you don't kill me, you may be able to get more benefits."
Hearing Wei Ying's cowardly answer, Nangong Yun suddenly laughed.
"Are you begging for mercy?"
"No, I'm negotiating terms with you!"
Wei Ying replied confidently upon hearing this.
However, Nangong Yun asked with interest at this time.
"Then let's talk about your conditions first."
When Wei Ying saw that Nangong Yun was finally willing to listen to his conditions, it meant that he at least still had hope of survival. Therefore, he had to grasp this only straw, otherwise the decades of cultivation accumulated by his soul would It will be destroyed in one day.
So, Wei Ying immediately said seriously.
"All cultivators on Yuanhun Continent will never be able to cross the threshold to heaven throughout their lives. Do you know why?"
Nangong Yun was also interested when he heard what he said, because after all, he would definitely go to the Sky City in the future, so it would be beneficial to know about the heaven in advance. Then he spoke.
"Maybe it's because I'm not mature enough, or I can't find a way."
When Wei Ying heard that Nangong Yun could casually tell the two most important reasons for promotion to the heaven, he couldn't help but wonder who this expert who helped Nangong Yun was.
However, he knew that his life was now in the opponent's hands, so he did not dare to neglect, so he said again.
"Yes, it is almost impossible for practitioners on Yuanhun Continent to reach the peak of Yuanhun Realm, because even a genius like me..."
When Wei Ying said this, he suddenly saw Nangong Yun looking at him with a strange expression, so he quickly changed his words and continued.
"Well... it took a cultivator like me nearly three hundred years to barely reach the peak of Yuanhun Realm. However, as ordinary cultivators, they are about to die after reaching this realm. , even dying.
Therefore, it is almost impossible to pass the test if you want to go to the Hanging Tower. "
Nangong Yun nodded slowly when he heard this.
"That's true. Then how did you get to the sky through the suspended tower?"
When Wei Ying first heard that Nangong Yun actually talked about such a solemn and sacred matter as being promoted to heaven in such a light manner, he also had a look of helplessness on his face.
However, in order to gain a chance of survival, Wei Ying continued speaking honestly.
"After I reached the peak of the Star Realm, I spent a lot of energy studying the ancient books handed down from the Eastern Wasteland Temple, and finally I found some clues from them."
When Wei Ying said this, he unconsciously showed a proud look on his face, as if the things he discovered were really amazing.
But when Nangong Yun saw this, he slapped him appropriately.
"You old turtle, stop beating around the bush and pretending to be serious. You're not even a hair in front of me at this age, so hurry up and say it."
Wei Ying was scolded by Nangong Yun and immediately came to his senses. After all, his current situation did not allow him to make the slightest mistake again, because he was not sure whether he would anger Nangong Yun again because of his wrong words. If you lose your life by then, it will be a huge loss.
So, Wei Ying quickly replied respectfully.
"Yes... yes... in the ancient books of the temple, I not only discovered the secret of advancing to the martial arts realm from the peak of the Soul Realm, but also learned the specific location of the suspended tower leading to the heaven."
"oh?"
Nangong Yun's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, because Wei Ying's words were indeed very important to him, and then he continued.
"As for how to cultivate to the martial arts realm, I'm not interested, but you said you know where the Hanging Tower is?"
Facing Nangong Yun's statement, Wei Ying had a look of shock on his face, but then he thought again. With Nangong Yun's current talent and qualifications, coupled with the help of such a strong man, how could he advance to The martial arts realm is indeed not too difficult.
However, he also realized that if Nangong Yun was not interested in how to advance to the martial arts realm, then the only bargaining chip in his hand would be the secret of the Hanging Tower.
So, Wei Ying mustered up his courage and spoke boldly.
"I can tell you the location of the hanging tower, but you have to promise not to kill me. This is your only chance to get the location of the hanging tower."
Nangong Yun asked confusedly after hearing this.
"Why? Can't I read the ancient books in the Eastern Wasteland Temple in person? What's more, the library in the temple is no different from my home."
When Wei Ying heard Nangong Yun's words, he replied with an embarrassed look.
"That's not what I meant. Of course you can check those ancient books now, but you can no longer find records about the location of the Hanging Tower."
Seeing Wei Ying's confidence, Nangong Yun thought that after Wei Ying discovered the secret, he had the evil desire to take it for himself, so he destroyed all the ancient books that recorded this vacant position.
So, Nangong Yun sneered and said.
"You are quite a thief. Knowing that this secret can restrict all practitioners in the entire Yuanhun Continent from being promoted to heaven, you stole the ancient books from those temples!"
Wei Ying had already heard Nangong Yun's helplessness from Nangong Yun's words at this time, so since he had these chips in hand, Nangong Yun had to agree to his conditions.
Because in Wei Ying's view, even if Nangong Yun and Qingqiu haven't made peace yet, their relationship must be extraordinary.
And Duguxue is Qingqiu's master or mother. Now that she has broken through the martial arts realm, the most important thing next is to go to the Sky City. Otherwise, she will fall asleep again because she cannot gather the power of martial arts. At that time, her The life soul may also dissipate accordingly.
Of course Nangong Yun also guessed this, but he didn't know if this was the reason why Duguxue had not left Yuanhun Continent for so many years.
However, none of this matters now, because Qingqiu has completely obtained the Qinglong Soul, and what he has to do is naturally to help Qingqiu as much as possible, or to help her mother Duguxue successfully advance to the heaven.
But at this moment, Master Huo, who controlled Nangong Yun's soul, finally saw that Wei Ying was relying on the little guy not to ignore Qingqiu and wanted to use Duguxue's current predicament to threaten him.
However, as an ancient sage, Lord Huo, although he has the power to penetrate the heavens and the earth, but currently, with Nangong Yunxingchen's second-level cultivation, he is unable to use the Great Soul Searching Technique on Wei Ying.
Therefore, he could only settle for the next best thing and said to Wei Ying with a sly expression.
"You old fox, you know that my disciple can't let go of his woman, so you use this as a threat. Fortunately, you are still a practitioner of martial arts. I think you have no hope of understanding the soul of martial arts in this life.
But that’s okay, I promise you, as long as you hand over the secret of the Hanging Tower, I won’t kill you! "
Wei Ying said happily after getting Nangong Yun's promise.
"The oaths we, practitioners in the martial arts realm, make with their souls as guides will affect the purity of their Taoist hearts when they are promoted in the future. I think you should know this."
The reason why Wei Ying said this was of course to ensure that he could survive as much as possible, and Nangong Yun would definitely agree to his conditions. To be precise, Lord Huo should agree.
Because even Wei Ying, a strong man in the martial arts realm, could not understand that an ancient sage like Lord Huo had already transcended reincarnation and had no fear of cause and effect, let alone what he had to promise to an ant like him.
So, Nangong Yun replied calmly.
"You have no choice at all, and I said I won't kill you, so I'm afraid you won't be able to die even if you want to. So, you'd better tell me honestly, and don't wait for me to lose my patience. regret!"
When Wei Ying heard Nangong Yun's words, he knew that this was his last chance. If he pissed him off, he might really have no scruples. If he killed himself first, the gain would outweigh the loss.
After all, he was just using Duguxue's cultivation future as a bargaining chip, which obviously could not really touch Nangong Yun's personal interests.
Therefore, after some internal weighing, Wei Ying spoke decisively.
"Actually, the Hanging Tower is within the orc territory north of the Eastern Wasteland!"
Nangong Yun was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that the suspended tower connecting Yuanhun Continent and Sky City would be in that kind of place.
However, after thinking about it, he thought it was quite reasonable, because the orcs didn't understand the human cultivation system, so they naturally didn't know where the hanging tower led to.
Moreover, cultivators on the Yuanhun Continent rarely go to the orc tribes, let alone deliberately make enemies with them. Therefore, the location of the Hanging Tower has become the biggest secret on the Yuanhun Continent after the orcs occupied this territory. .
Thinking of this, Nangong Yun suddenly smiled.
"I see. No wonder no one has been able to find the location of the hanging tower for so many years. Okay, I understand."
When Wei Ying heard that Nangong Yun only said that he knew, he said nothing more. He didn't understand what Nangong Yun meant, and then he asked cautiously and tentatively.
"Then what?"
When Nangong Yun heard Wei Ying's question, he turned to smile and continued to ask.
"Since you have told me this secret, you might as well tell me the method you used to secretly send your soul to Yuanhun Continent!"
"ah!?"
Wei Ying didn't expect that Nangong Yun was still thinking about this secret of his, but the fact that he divided his soul and passed it on to Wei Yu was his biggest secret.
Moreover, once this matter is discovered by the Martial Arts Hall, he will be punished worse than death, so he will not tell this secret under any circumstances.
So, Wei Ying said with a troubled expression.
"This matter has nothing to do with the agreement between us, so I will not tell this secret! If you insist on threatening me, then I will have to accept your fate!"
Nangong Yun saw that Wei Ying's attitude suddenly became so tough, and he would rather die than tell the reason. This actually aroused his interest.
But if Wei Ying is pushed into a hurry now, I'm afraid he won't get the result he wants. Instead of doing that, it's better to keep him first, and then there will be a way to know what's going on in the future without him having to ask. .
Immediately, Nangong Yun waved his hand and said.
"Since you don't want to say it now, forget it. I just have to make you live here for a while."
When Wei Ying heard what Nangong Yun said, he didn't quite understand, so he asked doubtfully.
"How long do you want me to stay here?"
Nangong Yun heard Wei Ying's question and thought for a moment before answering decisively.
"Three years!"
"Why three years?"
"Because in three years, I will personally set foot in the heaven and find your true body, so that you, Wei Ying, will completely disappear from this world!"
"you!"
Wei Ying no longer knew what words to use to describe Nangong Yun, who was now extremely arrogant. However, after his expression twitched for a while, he finally squeezed out a sentence through his teeth.
"Three years later, we will fight to the death in the Sky City!"
However, at this moment, Nangong Yun pointed at Wei Ying and said with a smile.
"Okay, now that you and I have made a three-year agreement, he can die now!"
"what do you mean?"
When Wei Ying saw Nangong Yun pointing at him and saying this, he was shocked, thinking that he was going to regret it, so he quickly continued.
"You said you wouldn't kill me, you can't break your promise!"
"Of course I won't kill you, it's him I want to kill!"
As Nangong Yun finished speaking, Wei Ying's body slowly fell down, but the layer of Hellfire runes covering his body was still floating in the air.
At this time, Wei Ying turned around in disbelief and found the dead Wei Yu lying at his feet, but he existed outside Wei Yu's body in the form of a soul!
This scene made him even feel that he was living in an illusion. How could the soul exist independently from the human body? Is it because he was dead? !
However, before he could recover, he heard Nangong Yun saying calmly.
"This set of Hellfire Runes I gave you will allow you to stay here forever until your body dies!"
After Wei Ying heard Nangong Yun's words, he said in a cold tone.
"Since you can't kill me, in my current form, probably nothing in this Yuanhun Continent can restrain me."
The reason why Wei Ying suddenly spoke provocatively was because he was not worried that Nangong Yun would go back on his word and attack him again, but he was betting that Nangong Yun really had no way to trap him here without killing him.
But at this time, Nangong Yun once again showed that look on his face, as if he was looking at a fool, and then he heard him sigh and say.
"Alas, you poor guy, you will never understand until your death. This world of cultivation is far from as simple as you imagined..."
Immediately, Nangong Yun disappeared from the platform of life and death in an instant, and appeared again on the high platform on the north side.
I saw him gently raising his hands and releasing two completely different soul powers towards the life and death platform. In an instant, due to the pull of these two soul powers, the restrictions around the edges of the life and death platform that he had secretly set up The inscriptions were activated at the same time, forming a barrier space above the life and death table.
And Wei Ying's soul is forever sealed in this world...
