When Wang Yi and Venerable Ning Jing heard this, their eyes flashed with disbelief.
They could not help but sigh inwardly.
It was unknown if Venerable Lie Kong had been too careless that he didn’t sense the listening device.
Or was he too confident and didn’t believe that someone would dare to eavesdrop on a Connate Venerable?
One had to know that at the Connate Realm, one’s perception of danger was extremely sharp. Even if someone was staring at them, they could still sense it. How could they not notice that they were being monitored and recorded?
But it seemed that Venerable Lie Kong didn’t even notice that he had been recorded.
No matter what the reason was, they had to hear the recording.
Wang Yi said calmly, “In that case, go get it.”
Wang Yi was not afraid that he would use this opportunity to slip away. As the saying goes, he could run, but he couldn’t hide.
Even if he did run away, his two brothers were still here. Wang Yi could just kill them.
Moreover, if he really escaped in front of the two Venerables, Wang Yi and Venerable Ning Jing, they would not be able to cultivate any martial arts. It would be useless even if they cultivated since they would still have no other place but to just find a place to retire.
At this moment, Wu Shuang stood up and said, “Lord Venerable, I’ll go back with him to get the recording!”
Wang Yi knew what Wu Shuang meant, so he did not object. He nodded slightly and said with a smile, “In that case, I’ll have to trouble you to make the trip.”
The moment he finished speaking…
Wu Shuang followed Jiang Zailang out of the Venerable Palace and headed straight for the Three Absolutes Auction House.
At this moment, Wang Yi looked at Venerable Ning Jing and suddenly asked, “Fellow Daoist Ning Jing, may I ask which city Venerable Lie Kong belongs to?”
Although the recording had yet to be brought over, Wang Yi had already believed Jiang Zailang’s words.
However, what he could not understand was why so many experts would be implicated with a small family like the Su family. They didn’t even mind sending a martial artist at the Battle Warrior Rank to eliminate them.
Not only was Zhao Tianlin a knife in the hands of others, but even the Three Absolutes Auction House had only been a mouthpiece. The person behind the scenes was actually a Connate Venerable.
What did the Su family do to deserve having a Venerable personally plot against them?
Now, all he had to do was gather information on his enemy, until he knew his enemy well enough to deliver the fatal blow.
Yes!
Even if the mastermind was a Connate Venerable, Wang Yi was prepared to kill him. He had no intention of letting him live.
Wang Yi didn’t care how important a Connate Venerable was to the human race. As long as the mastermind behind the Su family’s murder was still alive, he would not be at ease.
Moreover, so what if he killed a Connate Venerable? Wang Yi was also a Venerable now, so he could make up for the losses of the human race.
Venerable Ning Jing was slightly stunned when she heard this. She naturally knew why Wang Yi asked this.
She originally wanted to persuade Wang Yi to put this matter aside first. After all, the human race was currently in a precarious situation. Any Venerable could influence the future battle. Thus, the internal strife between two Venerables was too great a loss for the human race.
However, when the words were on the tip of her tongue, Venerable Ning Jing could not speak no matter what.
If it were her, if someone dared to plot against her family behind the scenes, she would probably be even crazier than Wang Yi. After knowing who the mastermind was, she would have long attacked them.
“Sigh!”
Venerable Ning Jing knew that she could no longer interfere in this matter. In the end, she could only sigh and say helplessly, “Venerable Lie Kong is in Ziwei Capital City.”
“He is one of the three giants of the Ziwei Capital City Army. He controls the Lie Kong Army, which is made up of ten million Battle Warrior Rank martial artists.”
Wang Yi could not help but feel a little lost when he heard that. He even suspected that he heard wrongly.
Ten million Battle Warrior Rank martial artists!
What did this mean?
The current population of Cang City was about 10 million. Thus, this was equivalent to everyone in Cang City being a Battle Warrior Rank martial artist.
How terrifying was that?
Of course, although it was terrifying, it did not affect Wang Yi much.
After all, the gap between realms was too huge. In terms of quality, it was not something that quantity could make up for.
Wang Yi’s gaze landed on Venerable Ning Jing again. He asked in confusion, “Ziwei Capital City?”
To be honest, Wang Yi had never heard of Ziwei Capital City before, nor did he know what Ziwei Capital City represented.
Actually, he could not be blamed for being ignorant. After all, ordinary people would never be able to leave the giant city they were in for the rest of their lives. Thus, they had no idea what the outside world was like.
Even if someone could walk out of the giant city, they would not be able to walk out of the Langya Domain. They thought that the Langya Domain was the entire world. How could they know that there were human territories outside the Langya Domain?
Apart from being powerful, Wang Yi was no different from ordinary people. He had never left the Langya Domain and had never seen the outside world.
Venerable Ning Jing seemed to have expected this and she wasn’t surprised by Wang Yi’s words. She patiently explained, “Ziwei Capital City is located in the extreme east. There are about seven or eight territories like the Langya Domain in between.”
“Just like how Langya County City has hundreds of giant cities under its jurisdiction, Ziwei Capital City has nine county cities under its jurisdiction. Meanwhile, each county city represents a territory.”
“If we rush to Ziwei Capital City from here, even if a Connate Venerable travels through the void, it will probably take several months.”
When Wang Yi heard this, he could not help but click his tongue. He did not expect that the endless Langya Domain was not all there was. There was actually such a vast world outside.
No!
Wang Yi suddenly caught onto something unreasonable in Venerable Ning Jing’s words and couldn’t help but ask, “Fellow Daoist Ning Jing, something doesn’t seem right?”
“Although the Langya Domain is vast and endless, I’m confident that I can traverse the entire territory in two days.”
“Even if there are seven or eight territories between the two territories, a period of at most one month will be enough. Why would the journey take months?”
Venerable Ning Jing did not expect Wang Yi to ask such a question. She said helplessly, “Fellow Daoist Wang, do you really think that the territories are all connected to each other?”
Wang Yi nodded and asked matter-of-factly, “Isn’t that so?”
Venerable Ning Jing couldn’t help but support her forehead with her hand. One could tell how speechless she was at this moment. She could only patiently explain, “Fellow Daoist Wang, you’re thinking too much.”
“Although this wilderness is boundless, not all places are suitable for building a giant human city.”
“Some areas are shrouded in miasma all year round. Even Grandmaster Realm experts will die if they enter.”
“Meanwhile, some regions have extremely harsh climates and violent natural disasters that are often enough to destroy cities.”
“Furthermore, the territories are separated by these dangerous areas. In fact, some dangerous areas are even several times, or even dozens of times larger than human territories.”
“This is why I said that it would take months to reach Ziwei Capital City.”
