Ye Lingchen did not speak. He simply touched Old Tortoise's shell as its eyes lit up.
"What happened, exactly?" Chen Qi asked solemnly.
Ye Lingchen looked at him. "The stage above the Innate Stage is...the King Stage?"
"You've met a King Stage?" Chen Qi's pupils shrank suddenly. Although he had already guessed it somewhat, the revelation was still a huge shock for him!
It was a fact that there were no King Stage masters in Capital New District. Any King Stage master was powerful and unrivalled. They were overseers of a region and were a treasured resource for any country.
Ye Lingchen nodded. "A new, permanent Hell's Gate had opened somewhere near here. After we found out, we encountered a King from the Stick Nation."
Ye Lingchen then briefly recounted his earlier experience.
A new Hell's Gate?
A King from the Stick Nation?
The news was so important that Chen Qi was momentarily lost for words.
