#1159 - Chapter 1159 Storyteller

"Junior Brother Ye, why did you let him go?" Wenjie was a little puzzled. He wanted to know the news but wouldn't pry it out of someone's mouth. Did he expect to know the news out of thin air?

Ye Kong calmly picked up the teacup in front of him.

Wisps of white steam still rose from the teacup.

"Don't rush. The person who knows the news hasn't appeared yet. Finding these people will only give us a superficial understanding."

Ye Kong naturally drank the tea as if he were an ordinary tea drinker.

Hearing Ye Kong's words, the three of them exchanged glances and said nothing more.

-

"Clang!" A loud gong sounded.

"Clang, clang, clang!" Immediately afterward, there was a series of strikes, making a harsh noise that attracted the attention of everyone in the teahouse.

Ye Kong and the others also turned their attention to the source of the sound.

On the half-exposed stage, tables and chairs had been set up at some point.

At this moment, a man in a white coat was standing on it.

The man had well-defined features, a handsome face, and a refined appearance.

The man's mere presence on the stage was enough to attract people.

Seeing that the target had appeared, the corner of Ye Kong's mouth lifted in a subtle arc.

The white-clothed man bowed slightly, giving a comprehensive salute to everyone present, and then introduced himself.

"Good evening, everyone. I am Shang Zhen. Tonight, I will be talking about the daughter of the Shen family."

Following that, Shang Zhen spoke eloquently on the stage in a professional manner.

"Throughout history, how many ambitious people have become famous in a single battle, becoming household names, all with the grand spirit of men. However, the Shen family of sword cultivators has produced a chief disciple who is a woman…"

On the stage, Shang Zhen vividly described Shen Fanshuang's abilities, and the people below the stage were also very interested in this daughter of the Shen family.

"So, Senior Sister Shen is from the Shen family of sword cultivators in this city. No wonder her swordsmanship surpasses all her fellow disciples," Zhang Tie exclaimed in surprise.

"I've only heard that Senior Sister Shen comes from a wealthy family, but I didn't expect it to be a family of sword cultivators for generations. This is too big!" Wenjie also felt incredulous, with a look of surprise on his face.

Ye Kong didn't participate in their conversation, only silently picking up his teacup and taking a few sips.

At this time, Zhang Tie hadn't recovered from Shang Zhen's storytelling. He drank his tea and said, "I didn't expect there to be so many conflicts within Senior Sister Shen's family."

Wenjie also echoed, "That's right. No wonder Senior Sister Shen has always been aloof in the sect, with a 'stay away' attitude. It turns out that there are so many conflicts within her family. How could she reveal her true colors to outsiders?"

Ye Kong inappropriately interrupted their conversation.

"It's time to go," Ye Kong said plainly, immediately reminding the others of their business.

-

"Swish, swish…" Shang Zhen's hurried footsteps sounded. He lowered his head and walked forward anxiously, showing no signs of stopping.

Until, "Bang!" Shang Zhen didn't notice the person in front of him and collided directly with them. Shang Zhen fell to the ground with a "thump."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry…" Shang Zhen kept apologizing. When he looked up and saw the person in front of him, he was somewhat stunned.

The person blocking him was Ye Kong.

Shang Zhen didn't even dare to stand up, using all fours to escape in the opposite direction.

But soon, Shang Zhen was blocked by Zhang Tie and the other two who appeared behind him, forcing Shang Zhen to retreat.

This was a somewhat dark alley. Shang Zhen was trapped in the middle by the group.

It turned out that Shang Zhen had noticed that the group was ill-intentioned in the teahouse. He wanted to leave the teahouse quickly, but he didn't expect to be caught up by them.

Shang Zhen was a little nervous for a moment, his body trembling constantly.

Shang Zhen forced a smile, "Gentlemen, what… what is this?"

Wenjie sneered disdainfully.

"Your little mouth. When you were talking in the teahouse, I didn't see you stuttering like this. Why do you look like you've seen a ferocious beast when you see us!"

Wenjie's tone was not gentle, but rather sarcastic.

Hearing this, Shang Zhen quickly waved his hands to explain, "No, no, no. I definitely don't mean anything else. It's just… you are cultivators, and the aura on your bodies is really oppressive. I'm afraid, and it's out of instinct."

Ye Kong became interested. He knew that he had used his divine sense to investigate in the teahouse and found no spiritual energy. Moreover, he had used a Qi concealing technique to hide the aura on the four of them. It was impossible for ordinary people to know their identities.

Ye Kong's eyes flashed, and he saw through Shang Zhen's outer body to the deepest part of his inner body, a broken bone that was half-severed but still emitting a faint golden light.

That is? A spiritual bone! Ye Kong even suspected that he was seeing things. This spiritual bone was even rarer than the Child of Destiny.

Even with extraordinary talent or diligent cultivation, it couldn't compare to the blessing of this one spiritual bone.

It should be known that if a person with a spiritual bone embarked on the path of cultivation, it would take as little as five years and as much as ten years to reach the True God Realm. If they cultivated daily, reaching the Nirvana Realm would be just around the corner!

Ye Kong's expression changed instantly, and his tone became a little uneasy.

"You possess a spiritual bone, so why is there only a broken bone left in your body?"

As soon as these words came out, the other three were shocked. All three knew that this spiritual bone was a chance encounter that couldn't be met in a thousand years!

When Ye Kong mentioned the spiritual bone, the long-buried suffering in Shang Zhen's heart caused a slight pain.

Shang Zhen didn't answer Ye Kong directly, only giving a bitter smile. When he smiled, his eyes seemed to flash with the dazzling brilliance of the past.

After a moment, Shang Zhen adjusted his inner emotions before saying coldly.

"A golden light ten thousand feet long invites self-immolation and the death of nine generations!" It was as if he was gnashing his teeth, or perhaps it was the negative pressure of long-standing resentment.

Hearing these words, Ye Kong's heart trembled. He probably knew what kind of sins he had suffered.

But then, Shang Zhen raised his head and laughed loudly, his laughter filled with dissatisfaction.

"What are you laughing at! We came to you to ask you something. If you tell us everything you know, we won't hurt you in the slightest," Zhang Tie interrupted Shang Zhen's grief at this time.

Hearing this, Shang Zhen turned around, "Everything in this Sifang City, you can ask me anything, but if you are ever forced to ask, you must not reveal my existence!"

Zhang Tie's temper flared up instantly, "You're still negotiating with us…"

Before Zhang Tie could finish speaking, Ye Kong directly agreed.

"Sir, I agree to you."

Ye Kong directly got straight to the point and said, "Sir, my little sister entered this Sifang City with us yesterday, but when we were on the street, she accidentally collided with a teenager with a bruised face, and my little sister's face turned black and purple."
