"Senior Fellow, I, I..." The shop assistant became increasingly nervous as he spoke.
Ning Cheng appeared to be smiling, but the intense killing intent he radiated was so palpable that even a low-level cultivator like the assistant could feel it.
"Could it be that you don't wish to speak?" Ning Cheng's gaze grew colder.
"No, that's not it..." the assistant replied, cautiously looking around before continuing in an even lower, stuttering voice, "Senior Fellow, I know of the place you spoke of, it's called Lifespan Cliff. That place is as terrifying as Sword Valley. They say that at Lifespan Cliff, one can only watch helplessly as their lifespan vanishes and they ultimately fall within, never to emerge."
"Where is Lifespan Cliff? Why was it not marked on the Jade Slip map you gave me last time?" Ning Cheng's heart clenched. He remembered the Twilight Sea, where he and another female cultivator had entered and their lifespans had been uncontrollably depleted.
