Ye Zong and his subordinates conduct secret interrogation to Dark Guild members. Ye Shuo, as the leader of the secret investigator, will be responsible for fishing information from them in 3 days. Why do they need that information quickly? It's because they get letters from Ning 'er masters about soul shackles.
"Ye Shuo, how is it ?"
"They really stubborn. No one opens their mouths. I already torture them so hard... sigh. But with this catch, we can confirm that Ning'er master information is 80% true. And this Deacon Yun Hua is really a manager in one of the Shen family restaurant. We should be wary of the Shen family." Ye Shuo answered.
"Then what should we do? We don't have no concrete evidence to destroy them. Brother Huyan, do you have any idea?" Ye Zong asked the man beside him.
"City Lord, this news really makes me wonder. I don't have any brilliant ideas. But Ning'er master surely has." Huyan Xiong, patriarch of the Huyan family. He is Huyan Lanruo's father.
"Then, how can we communicate with Ning 'er masters ?" Ye Zong asked again.
"Simple, call Nephew Ning'er here and pass a letter to her." Huyan Xiong answered.
"En. It's a feasible solution. We don't have any method now."
Then Ye Zong tells Ye Shuo to kill all of them.
On the other hand, Heri cross-legs and cultivates to enhance his power. He knows that breakthroughs within a week are impossible with the current conditions. But what if he has many elixirs? He currently has one good formula that he accidentally discovered in an ancient book inside the library. The name is Soul Nurturing Pill! That was one of many receipts Nie Li provided to the Association in the Novel.
He goes to the Alchemist Association to meet Director Yang.
On the road, he meets Ning'er. His surprise looks at Ning'er serious expression. She gave him a letter. After receiving it, Heri reads it on the spot and knows what's going on. With this letter, he knows that his identity has already been uncovered.
Heri doesn't matter. He has just 7 days remaining. No matter what, he will leave this world.
"So?" He asked Ning'er.
"According to City Lord, this letter is very important. And it will determine Glory City's future. He wishes to meet you, Master." Ning'er answered while she lowered her head. She was afraid to look at her master.
"Hm, that's also good." Then Heri looks surrounded and says, "If City Lord wants to invite me, he must call the director Yang Xin too."
Then he drags Ning'er to City Lord Mansion.
"Master, are you angry with me?" Ning'er blinked and asked. She thinks her master will be angry towards her.
"No, I know that every good citizen of Glory City wants to defend against the Dark Guild. It will also eradicate the Shen family as well. Haha. But you need to get punished tonight." Heri hung a scary smile on his face.
.....
Inside City Lord Hall, Heri meets City Lord, Ye Shuo, Director Yang Xin, Ye Ziyun, and other men. They seem like Elder or another family representative.
"This humble Lei greets City Lord." Heri greeted City Lord Ye Zong,
"Ning 'er greets City Lord." Ning'er also greeted Ye Zong.
When they see two youths enter the hall, they feel puzzled. Who was this youth?
"Are you a Nephew Ning'er Master?" Ye Zong suddenly asked.
"Yes, I'm her Master." Heri answers calmly.
Other participants gasp when they hear Ye Zong and Heri conversation. He was too young!
"The youth will replace the older generations. Thanks for your contribution to Glory City! Can I know which family you belong?" Ye Zong let out a sigh.
"This humble doesn't come from any family. I don't have a surname." Heri answered with a bitter smile.
"Ah sorry about it. Can I know why you enslave my Nephew Ning'er?" Ye Zong asked. He was very curious about this. If someone enslaved, usually he or she will be abused or in Ning'er case, she will be sex toys. But look at Ning'er, she seems to get a very caring master.
Heri hangs a serious expression on his face and answer, "Hm, It's very difficult to answer. First, her talent is not as bad as your daughter. Trust me, your daughter and Ning'er is the most gifted younger generation in Glory City. If Ziyun can have suitable cultivation technique, her cultivation speed will soar to the sky. It's the same with Ning 'er. Alas, although I know the technique name, I currently don't have that technique.-
Second, Ning'er needs to sacrifice herself to save her family. With a little enticement, I can easily get her. It's different from your daughter's. She already has everything except her father's love, so I can't entice her. Also, Ning 'er was almost bedridden for 2 years because of her stubbornness. So in exchange for her life, I cure her and give some hint to destroy the Shen Family."
When Ye Zong hears all of it, he is dumbfounded. "Almost bedridden?!"
"En. Because she trains at night under the moon before she enters bronze rank, she has a serious disease. The disease is called Arctic Disease. It's a very serious disease." Heri answered.
He looks at Ning'er, then he looks at his daughter, his daughter also has a bitter and sad expression. How could an outsider know about it? He looks at Heri like he looks at a ghost.
Of course, Heri also knows about it.
"Don't stare at me like that, Lord. I'm not a ghost."
"Oh sorry. Let's enter the main topic. How do we deal with the Shen Family?" Ye Zong returned to his composure and asked him. He feel embrassed with himself.
"Oh, that's matter. You can dismiss a member who enters the city guard. So when the beast horde comes, they can't do anything about it..."
"Wait! Beast horde?!" Ye Zong hopes that what he heard is wrong. Not only does Ye Zong, another member in the hall, also feel shocked.
"En, you don't know? Maybe your brother will come soon with this news. It's a Dark Guild deed. They want to destroy Glory City with the beast horde. What City Lord can do is limit Shen family influence. Of course, if City Lord exterminates them, it will be the best scenario." Heri gave a suggestion.
.....
"Before you come here, you want to invite Director Yang. This is Director Yang." Ye Zong said.
"Hello, Master Lei. What can I do for you?" Yang Xin knows that this little boy is more mature than another child.
"I have a deal with you," Heri said to the point.
'Hey Buddy, will I enter this world again?'
[Host can, but the chance is small.]
"What deal?"
"I have a Soul Nurturing Pill formula. When you produce it, I want a low-level interspatial full of that pill in 3 days. And 30% selling profit. You can help me save it. I will take it when I need to. If Glory City is in crisis, you can also use it."
.....
When Heri comes out of the hall, he feels Ye Zong attitude is very different when he faces Nie Li in Manhua and Novel. But whatever. It's not Heri's problem.
