Liu Zhen first inquired about Ning Zhuo from Sun Lie.
"You're talking about Ning Zhuo? In Fire Persimmon Immortal City these days, there's no one who doesn't know him," Sun Lie expressed slight surprise but still responded to Liu Zhen.
"How did your esteemed sect come to hear of Ning Zhuo's reputation, and why are you investigating his situation?" Sun Lie felt curious.
Liu Zhen explained the whole story, which wasn't something to hide anyway. On the other hand, he trusted Sun Lie greatly, the one who had saved his life.
After hearing this, Sun Lie suddenly said, "So it turns out Ning Zhuo has not been in Fire Persimmon Immortal City for a while now, having left to travel. No wonder he's always in seclusion, cultivating; it's been many days since he last appeared in public."
Ning Zhuo had left secretly, with the help of the mechanical artifact, Ten-Thousand-Li Travelling Dragon. Within Fire Persimmon Immortal City, only high-level cultivators knew this secret.
