When Zhou Ziru saw Zhan Chen's suffocated look, he had the urge to punch him and said harshly: I've really had enough. The girl was quite reserved at first, but after a few words she got along.
Climbing the pole is not only tugging and pulling, but also asking questions, which is really annoying.
Zhan Chen couldn't hold it back anymore and laughed out loud.
Zhou Ziru glared at him fiercely and cursed: Still laughing?
Zhan Chen stopped laughing and said to him: Ziru, for the sake of our plan, please be patient. I am so envious of you for being able to chat and flirt with such a beautiful woman.
Hum, I don’t want to deal with you anymore
Okay, joking aside, we still have to get down to business. How about finding out any news? Zhan Chen finally became more serious.
Zhou Ziru also became serious and said: Of course, the little girl's words are quite easy to say. I asked her a little bit, and she said it without thinking too much.
Stop talking nonsense and get down to something practical.
Well, Zhan Chen, things are pretty much what you think. Ning Zilan’s family is indeed a prestigious family in the entire Evernight City. There are five major forces in the Evernight City, the most powerful of which is the city lord Sun Ming, who is the Martial Saint.
strong man, rule
In the entire city that never sleeps, no matter how big the disputes or commotions are in the city, as long as he takes action, everything will cease and peace will be restored. In his hands, he commands a black-feathered army of 50,000 people who serve him.
Responsible for the security of the entire city that never sleeps.
Under Sun Ming, there are four other powerful families, namely the Li family, the Chen family, the Wang family, and the Ning family. These families all have several strong warriors at the beginning of the Martial Saint stage, and each also has almost 10,000 private soldiers, who are divided into regions.
, powerful and powerful.
The Ning family is the family to which Ning Zilan belongs.
Yes, the Ning family is still the second largest family in the city that never sleeps, and Ning Zilan is the only daughter of the head of the family, Ning Weitian, a powerful martial saint. And there is more than one martial saint in her family, her grandfather, her uncle
Their cultivation levels have also reached the initial level of Martial Saint.
I didn't expect that the torture of Ning Zilan's family had a background. It was so good that I finally caught a big fish. Zhan Chen's eyes flashed with excitement, and he asked again: "Then have you asked about the method of leaving this abyss?"
Why not? But she said it vaguely.
What on earth did she say?
According to Ning Zilan, leaving Yuanchi is a very sacred and difficult challenge for the people of the Evernight City. Only the bravest and most powerful people are qualified to participate. It is only done once every hundred years. During the challenge
There is a ceremony to be held, called the Heaven-Bearing Ceremony. The Lord of the Nightless City will lead the strongest men in the city to challenge it. The challenge is extremely difficult, and those who participate will have a narrow escape from death.
But she didn't know the details of this ceremony, because she was only sixty years old, and the last Heaven-Bearing Ceremony was almost a hundred years ago. She only vaguely knew that the next Heaven-Bearing Ceremony would be held in a few years, and Ning
The family has been preparing for this incident.
It’s only a few years away. It seems like we’re moving a little faster. Ziru, don’t you have a better understanding of what this Heaven-Bearing Ceremony is?
No, Ning Zilan doesn't care about these things at all. Her head is full of boring things. What I can understand is already the limit.
It seems that's all we have to do. Zhan Chen sighed, and then he showed a bad smile and said to Zhou Ziru: Hehe, thank you for your hard work, but in the future, you have to work harder to have a good relationship with this little girl.
.
If you want me to go or you to go, I can't help it. After listening to his unreasonable request, Zhou Ziru exploded again.
Zhan Chen quickly grabbed him and said with a smile: Ziru, you have to do this, I want to do it for you, but it’s not me who Ning Zilan likes. Please be a little aggrieved and hold on for a few more days.
Well, look at how lucky we are to meet such a noble person all of a sudden. As long as you work harder, we can successfully join the Ning family and find out what the so-called Tongtian Grand Ceremony is all about.
Son, maybe we can find a way to leave this abyss.
After hearing what he said, Zhou Ziru was silent for a long time, and finally made a decision: Well, I will work hard to leave Yuanchi.
In the next few days, Zhou Ziru continued to get close to Ning Zilan, coaxing the cute little girl into a state of elation and imagination. Zhan Chen also became increasingly familiar with Ning Zilan through their interactions.
We also became good friends.
Their behavior finally aroused Yang Nan's alert. She had privately approached Ning Zilan and asked her not to get close to Zhou Ziru. She also specifically approached Zhou Ziru to warn him to stay away from Ning Zilan.
But the seedling of love cannot be suppressed. The more you suppress it, the more it will thrive. Yang Nan's obstruction made Ning Zilan find more and more ways to get close to Zhou Ziru and stick with them every day.
Gradually, Yang Nan also gave up. After all, she was just a worshiper under the Ning family, and there was no need to go against her master.
The team approached the city that never sleeps day by day. That night, the team camped in a place, and Ning Zilan pestered Zhou Ziru as usual. Seeing this, Zhan Chen came up with a plan and went up to sit next to them, with a smile on his face.
The expressions of regret and sighs finally caught the attention of Zhou Ziru and Ning Zilan.
Ning Zilan was talkative and couldn't help but ask him: Zhan Chen, what's on your mind? Why do you keep sighing?
This question hit Zhan Chen's fancy, so he took the opportunity to say: I am sighing that Zhou Ziru and I can no longer be with you.
Ning Zilan flapped her beautiful big eyes and asked urgently: Why can't Ziru be with me anymore?
Isn't it because of Miss Ning's high status that we can't reach you? When we joined your team, we made an agreement with Sister Nan that we would be separated from you when we arrived in the city that never sleeps. When the time comes, we would see Miss Ning again in the vast sea of people.
Nothing is easy anymore.
When Ning Zilan heard this, she was really anxious and said: What should I do? I don't want to be separated from Ziru, no, I will be separated from you.
It's a pity that Ziru and I are not from your Ning family, are you right? Ziru's brother Zhan Chen also asked Zhou Ziru specifically.
Zhou Ziru was stunned for a moment, then replied: Yes, Zilan, maybe the two of us will not be able to see each other in the future.
Ziru, can't you just leave? I will miss you. Ning Zilan took Zhou Ziru's hand and said, her eyes still staring at him, full of reluctance.
Zhou Ziru subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but she held it too tightly and failed, so she had to pretend to be reluctant to leave and said: Zilan, I don’t want to be separated from you either, but Zhan and I
I was helpless in the morning, and when I arrived in the city that never sleeps, I didn’t even have a place to stay.
Hey, why didn't you tell me earlier? Why don't you come and live in our Ning Mansion so that we can see each other every day? Ning Zilan's worries suddenly turned into joy.
Is this okay? We are outsiders. Will your Ning family accept it? Zhou Ziru couldn't help but ask.
You don’t have to worry, I will ask my father to take you in. When the time comes, both food, drink, accommodation, and the training room will be the best. When Ning Zilan said this, she even patted her plump little breasts,
It seemed as if she was deeply afraid that Zhou Ziru and Zhan Chen wouldn't believe what she said.
Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison: Then there is Miss Lao Ning.
The next day, the team set off again, and after three more days of walking, they crossed a mountain range and saw a magnificent city lying in the dense black forest.
At first glance, Zhan Chen couldn't estimate its area. He had a guess in his mind that it must be the city that never sleeps.
Sure enough, everyone was happy and said: We are finally home
Standing at the bottom of the peak, you can see the city that never sleeps. The city that never sleeps really deserves its reputation. Looking at the city from a distance, the lights in the city are like stars in the sky, shining with charming light. It is really beautiful. And less than ten kilometers away from the city that never sleeps, is the surging city.
The Yuan River runs from north to south, as if stretching straight to the sky.
Yang Nan said: Okay, everyone, stop looking here. Haven't you seen enough? Let's go.
So everyone set out on the road again. This time, the speed was faster. It only took them an hour to reach the foot of the giant city.
The city that never sleeps looks even more lofty when you take a closer look at it. Its city wall is nearly two hundred meters high and is made entirely of white stone boulders. It is extremely strong and cannot be broken through without a large demon above the eighth level. The city wall stretches endlessly around it.
Above, every few hundred meters, there is a sentry tower, with soldiers watching inside. Once a monster is discovered, the alarm bell will be sounded, and all the masters in the city will be dispatched to fight against it.
At this time, the gates of the Evernight City were wide open, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians walking between the gates. Almost all of them had cultivation levels above King Wu.
Regarding this, Zhan Chen specifically asked Yang Nan for advice, and the explanation he received was: Since the Evernight City is deep into the center of the abyss, there are many and strong monsters around it. Therefore, people with insufficient cultivation would rather stay in the city.
I would not choose to go out casually.
Entering the city, Zhan Chen immediately discovered a wide avenue leading straight to the center of the city. Every 20 meters on both sides of the road, there was a six-meter-high stone pillar. There was a blazing flame on the stone pillar, illuminating the entire street.
Yang Nan proudly introduced to Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru: Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru, this is your first time here. Our city that never sleeps has such pillars of fire lighting in all the streets and alleys, lighting up the whole city like daylight, so
It’s called the city that never sleeps
Are there all the streets and alleys? Zhan Chen was also intoxicated by the beautiful scenery and couldn't extricate himself.
Yes, let's go, I will introduce you to the situation in this city in detail.
Thank you, Sister Nan.
The city that never sleeps is very lively, with shops lined up along the streets, and the streets are bustling with cars and pedestrians.
According to Yang Nan's estimate, there are at least one million residents living in this city. Most of these people are descendants of the strong men who once fell into the Abyss Pond. They thrive here, year after year.
To this day, it still has such a scale.
Hearing this, Zhan Chen couldn't help but probe: Sister Nan, don't the people here want to leave this dark abyss?
