Nan Qingyue and Situ Jiu had come on this trip for their Master; they were here to save Mr. Li.

However, an Old Man appeared halfway and directly took Situ Jiu away.

"You won't spare me? What a nerve, saying you won't spare me!" Nan Qingyue slowly stood up, raising her head to stare intensely at the Old Man. "I, a Divine Sword Sect Disciple, am not afraid of death. You can kill me, but you must return Situ Jiu."

"Otherwise, tomorrow, the Disciples of the Divine Sword Sect will trample this Dongxiang Thirteenth Long Street."

Nan Qingyue wore a serious expression. She gasped slightly, momentarily stunned.

Immediately after, Nan Qingyue clenched her fists tightly and raised her head to stare intently at the Old Man.

At this moment, Nan Qingyue was prepared to die. Her face was grim, and she took a sharp breath.

Nan Qingyue was thinking clearly now: she was determined to save Situ Jiu, even if it meant sacrificing her life.

"Divine Sword Sect? You are a Disciple of the Divine Sword Sect?" When the Old Man heard these three words, he was slightly taken aback and couldn't help but gasp.

Nan Qingyue was no longer afraid, nor did she want to continue pretending.

All along, Li Changfeng had been hiding his identity, fearing he would cause trouble for the Divine Sword Sect. He never even allowed Situ Jiu or Nan Qingyue to reveal that they were Divine Sword Sect Disciples.

But precisely at this moment.

A cold glint flashed in the Old Man's eyes, and he took a sharp breath.

"So what if I am?" Nan Qingyue looked extremely arrogant, her face grim, but her eyes were full of spirit.

After hearing this, the Old Man was slightly stunned. He lowered his head and pondered.

He truly hadn't expected people from the Divine Sword Sect to come all the way to this Northern Territory.

This girl is actually a Divine Sword Sect Disciple. If that's the case, things will be difficult.

"You want to see that boy?" The Old Man's attitude changed completely, a full 180 degrees. "Come, I can take you. But the premise is: do you dare to go?"

The Old Man smiled faintly and turned around.

Forget it. The former Divine Sword Sect Old Sect Master had some old connections, so he couldn't neglect these two youngsters.

"Really?" Nan Qingyue immediately stood up and smiled slightly. "You mustn't deceive me."

A cold glint flashed in Nan Qingyue's eyes, and her face was grim.

In fact, Nan Qingyue still felt wary of the Old Man; she wouldn't completely trust this Old Gentleman.

"Whether it's true or false, aren't you following me?" The Old Man turned his head and glanced at Nan Qingyue.

The Old Man immediately turned back around, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Actually, if there were a chance, the Old Man would like to meet the Divine Sword Sect Old Sect Master again. Alas, he probably won't ever get the opportunity.

"Mhm, let's go." Nan Qingyue followed the Old Man into the Inner Chamber, passing through the Corridor.

Corridors connected everywhere here; anyone unfamiliar with the area would surely get lost.

The Old Man didn't say much along the way; he simply walked ahead by himself.

However, Nan Qingyue had been following him for a long time, and they still hadn't stopped.

Nan Qingyue felt utterly helpless. She took a deep breath, feeling utterly helpless; if she had a choice, she wouldn't be doing this.

"Where exactly are you taking me? Why are we still here?" Nan Qingyue asked grimly, looking up at the Old Man.

Situ Jiu had disappeared in the Corridor, but Nan Qingyue didn't know how he was taken away.

Moreover, it was completed almost instantaneously. This Old Man's strength was very high.

The Old Man continued walking ahead, also feeling quite helpless.

"Haven't I already told you? I'm taking you to see that boy, your Junior Brother," the Old Man said without being long-winded. This time, he didn't even raise his head.

Nan Qingyue looked at the Old Man's back, feeling a little uneasy inside.

However, Nan Qingyue couldn't quite articulate her feelings, nor did she know what to do.

"We've walked so far, yet we still haven't seen anything. Where exactly is Situ Jiu?" Nan Qingyue asked grimly, taking a sharp breath.

In fact, Nan Qingyue was very curious about where Situ Jiu had gone.

If Situ Jiu had already perished in the Yellow Springs, then she would not let this Old Man off. No matter the method, she would definitely kill the Old Man.

The Old Man suddenly turned his head at that moment, seemingly seeing through Nan Qingyue's thoughts.

"You don't need to worry. That boy isn't dead. I told you, he's perfectly fine," the Old Man said with a faint smile.

But upon hearing this, Nan Qingyue frowned tightly and became even more vigilant.

Nan Qingyue had just thought of this issue, but the Old Man had directly voiced what was on her mind.

If that was the case, there was truly nothing she could do.

"But I don't believe you," Nan Qingyue said softly.

This Old Man was truly too strange. Nan Qingyue had already regarded him as her enemy.

If Nan Qingyue had the strength, she would definitely take action and kill the Old Man directly.

After all, the existence of this Old Man posed a great threat.

"Then there's nothing that can be done. I don't necessarily need you to trust me," the Old Man said grimly, revealing a serious expression.

"Hmph, if you won't talk, then don't," Nan Qingyue snorted dismissively.

At this moment, a craving for Power sprouted in Nan Qingyue's heart.

If she had strength, she could be like other Powerful Experts, doing what she liked first, and then taking on a few Followers.

And precisely at this moment.

The Old Man suddenly stopped. He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking straight ahead.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you walking?" Nan Qingyue asked, puzzled.

"We're here, why would I keep walking?" The Old Man seemed to have a bad temper and was somewhat eccentric. "Come on, I'll take you to see that boy."

Nan Qingyue was slightly stunned but didn't say much.

Immediately after, Nan Qingyue took a deep breath, first calming herself down.

In fact, Nan Qingyue didn't know what was waiting for her ahead, but she wasn't afraid, having already prepared herself for death.

"Is Situ Jiu here?" Nan Qingyue asked again.

"Whether he is or isn't, wouldn't you know if you just went and looked?" The Old Man didn't answer directly, speaking coldly.

Upon hearing this, Nan Qingyue was slightly taken aback, and she pouted.

"Fine, fine. Asking you is pointless. Since you don't know anything, I won't ask anymore," Nan Qingyue said grimly, showing her temper.

After hearing these words, the Old Man didn't get angry. Instead, he wore a smile and didn't take the matter to heart at all.

In truth, the Old Man wouldn't bother arguing with a teenage girl. He stood with his hands clasped behind his back and said nothing.
