ible way!"This gossip board is just a piece of rotten wood, that's the truth, I have no need to lie. However, I'm willing to spend money on this piece of rotten wood, I bought it to start a fire, doe..."How could I possibly deceive Young Master Ning If you went and found that I had deceived you, you would be completely justified in striking me dead..."

Zhong Bo hurriedly shook his head.

At this moment, Ning Zhi's heart was moved. Cultivating within the tower for one hour was equivalent to cultivating outside for a day. Such a thing was unheard of, and Gu Kaiyuan had never mentioned it to him before.

It seems that Gu Kaiyuan still holds back on him, and hasn't told him all his secrets.

"Okay, I believe you this time..."

Ning Zhi nodded, then followed Zhong Bo to Gu's manor with his men!

Soon, when the few arrived, they were directly stunned by the scene before them.

I see that the thousands of acres of farmland has already become a ruin, with not a single complete building in sight. Everywhere are broken walls and deep pits.

And at the northernmost edge of the estate, a tall tower stood, its ancient stone radiating an air of timelessness.

"The head of the household........"

Zhong Bo looked at the pile of human ashes on the ground and immediately realized it was Gu Kaiyuan!

After all, I've followed Gu Kaiyuan for so many years, even if he turned to ashes, he'd be able to recognize me!

"It seems we arrived late. Chen Ping killed your master and escaped..."

Ning Zhi said, but his eyes kept scanning the Demonic Suppression Tower.

At first glance of the Demon Suppression Tower, Ning Zhi was captivated by its ancient aura!

"Master Ning, you must avenge our master..."

Zhong Bo's tears streamed down his face, no one could have imagined that just moments ago, he had abandoned Gu Kaiyuan and fled without a moment's hesitation.

"Don't worry, I'll take a look first to see if it's true."

Ning Zhi said, and strode directly into the Demon Suppression Tower.

Within the tower, a rich aroma constantly invaded Ning Zhi's body, causing his blood to surge and boil!

Without realizing it, Ning Zhi sat cross-legged, the qi in his dantian began to circulate rapidly!

Just then, Ning Zhi felt his whole body was filled with power!

"Hahaha, it's really a pagoda. This guy Gu Kaiyuan, with such a good thing, actually hid it himself..."

Ning Zhi walked out of the tower, only to find that it was already dark.

Ning Zhi was slightly taken aback, then turned to his subordinates and asked, "How long have I been in there"

"Master, you've been inside for a whole day!"

the servant said.

"A day" Ning Zhi was shocked. He didn't expect this to be true.

No wonder his body was full of strength, he had actually practiced for a whole day, not just an hour. He felt like it passed quickly, but time seemed to flow differently inside the tower.

"Master Ning, I assure you, I didn't lie. After seeing our master pass away, this Demon Suppressing Tower started on its own; there was no need to activate it."

Zhong Bo quickly said.

"Hahaha… Hahaha…"

Ning Zhi laughed wildly, his head thrown back, his eyes gleaming with madness!

"You've done well. Now that Gu Kaiyuan is dead, this place is leaderless. I'll invest in you, and you rebuild it. Afterward, this will be a vassal family of the Ning clan..."

Ning Zhi said to Zhong Bo.

“You guys stay guard outside for me. I’m going into seclusion. I believe it won’t be long before I reach the peak of the Martial King realm, even reaching the strength of a half-step Martial Marquis. When I truly break through to the Martial Marquis realm, in Kyoto’s younger generation, I will stand alone. Long Xiao is nothing……”

Ning Zhi's face was filled with excitement and ferocity. He was daydreaming about the near future, himself standing at the pinnacle of Kyoto's young generation, basking in the praise coming from all directions.

Soon, Ning Zhi began to retreat in seclusion. Streams of aura surrounded Ning Zhi, and bursts of red light flashed across his forehead.the main Long Family would offend both our families for you”Cheng Kun's fiery temper flared, his eyes meeting Long Xingxu's with unwavering boldness."And what about our Qin family lands I was sent to...
