Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 669 It’s a Long Story

It has been seven or eight hours when Gao Ge came back. It’s dark outside.

Seeing Gao Ge’s gloomy face, Song Yuan figures that he didn’t find the man.

Yet, it is pretty normal. The mountain is so vast and the plants are so dense. It is too difficult for Gao Ge to find a man who hides in such a place.

However, Gao Ge is thinking if Wen Yihuan is here, it should be possible to find that jerk…

Now, Zhang Ning is still sitting on a chair, untied and unwatched. Yet, he doesn’t intend to run away because he knows that under the current circumstance, it will be too stupid if he tries to escape.

If he stays and waits for Gao Ge to ask him questions, he may have a chance of living.

The possibility is not very high though…

However, he can still take a chance.

What if his wish can come true?

Nevertheless, when he sees Gao Ge, he can’t help lowering his head. Although this is the first time he and Gao Ge have met face to face, for the disciples of the Ghost Sect, Gao Ge’s name is like a nightmare. It is like parents often scare their kids with the traffickers, which is a psychological shadow for the kids.

Therefore, feeling frightened is actually a conditioned response to seeing Gao Ge.

“You know me?” Seeing Zhang Ning’s response, Gao Ge gets quite confused.

“Yes, I do.”

“But I don’t seem to have met you before!” Gao Ge says with a smile.

Eyes downcast, Zhang Ning puts on a bitter face, saying, “All the people of the Ghost Sect know who you are…”

Gao Ge feels amused.

Song Yuan walks over and passes a glass of water to Gao Ge.

“You didn’t find him?”

“No, I didn’t, but I’m quite surprised to meet him,” Gao Ge heaves a sigh and says. “If only I had killed him directly back then. He is such a scourge now. I thought he would repent thoroughly of his misdeeds. After all, we were high school students at that time. I didn’t expect him to be so malicious.”

Speaking of this, Gao Ge heaves sighs with emotion, short and long.

Song Yuan, also holding a glass of water, says smilingly, “The child is the father of the man. One’s nature can hardly be changed, right?”

Gao Ge says with a bitter smile, “Now I know.”

Then he turns around to look at Zhang Ning, asking, “Li Lang is also a member of the Ghost Sect, right?”

“Yeah…” Zhang Ning nods his head. To his surprise, his junior fellow disciple is Gao Ge’s acquaintance. No wonder his killing intent got so rich when he learned about Gao Ge’s arrival.

It appears that the grudge between them is really deep!

“Oh right.” Gao Ge thinks of something and then turns to Song Yuan, saying, “Please help me look into what a man called Li Lang from Jiangnan City has done after leaving Jiangnan City.”

Given that there may be more than one man called Li Lang, Gao Ge adds, “He used to be my high school classmate.”

“No problem,” Song Yuan chuckles. “It’s quite easy.”

“Good.” Gao Ge nods his head. Song Yuan is very confident. Moreover, he is capable enough to be so confident.

For the information network of the Shadow School, it is really not difficult to investigate Li Lang.

“You and Li Lang went to the same high school?” Zhang Ning is a bit surprised.

“What? Didn’t he mention it before?” Gao Ge asks.

Zhang Ning shakes his head and says with a bitter smile, “No, he didn’t. Yet, I suppose he doesn’t dare to either. If the Ghost Sect knows he has something to do with you, I’m afraid…”

Gao Ge pats his thigh. “Great.”

“Ah?” Zhang Ning is taken aback.

Gao Ge looks at Zhang Ning with narrowed eyes, saying, “You mean if the people of the Ghost Sect know Li Lang is an acquaintance of mine, he will be isolated?”

“Of course.”

Song Yuan is a bit doubtful.

According to Gao Ge’s reaction and what he said just now, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion.

He and Li Lang are acquaintances but they are not on good terms. Worse still, they have a grudge against each other.

Li Lang has suffered a serious loss due to Gao Ge.

“If Li Lang wants to seek revenge on Gao Ge, given the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, the Ghost Sect should support him greatly,” Song Yuan says.

Zhang Ning says with a bitter smile, “You are right but does the Ghost Sect dare to believe that he really wants to seek revenge rather than blow smoke? Even if it has been testified, he can’t be completely trustable!”

Song Yuan thinks about it and then says grinningly, “It is quite possible. After all, the people of the Ghost Sect are always suspicious.”

Gao Ge knits his eyebrows.

If the people of the Ghost Sect are really suspicious, it will be more dangerous for Meng Jing…

Actually, he has thought about it before so he is in such a hurry to find Meng Jing and ask her to complete her mission as soon as possible.

“Where is the Ghost Sect?” Gao Ge collects himself and stares at Zhang Ning before him, saying, “If you tell me, I can spare your life. Don’t tell me that you don’t know.”

Zhang Ning ponders for a while and says, “I know, but I can’t tell you.”

Gao Ge is so speechless.

This is the first time that he has met such a reckless man.

“Are you not aware of the current situation? Your life is at my hands.”

“I know but I still can’t tell you where the Ghost Sect is!” Zhang Ning says with a bitter face, “It is not that I don’t want to tell you and I also know I may really be spared as long as I tell you. I just can’t tell you!”

Song Yuan turns around to look at Gao Ge, saying in a low voice, “Gao Ge, I believe him.”

The way Gao Ge looks at Song Yuan also becomes somewhat complicated.

Song Yuan stares at Zhang Ning, saying, “Go on.”

Zhang Ning nods his head and hastens to explain, “All the disciples get their souls imprinted. Anyone who wants to expose the location of the Ghost Sect will die immediately with the soul completely destroyed.”

Gao Ge heaves a sigh.

Actually, he also believes that. Otherwise, the Dragon Court couldn’t fail to find the Ghost Sect’s base by now.

Haven’t they caught any member of the Ghost Sect alive over the past years?

This is obviously impossible.

“If you want to know the other things, I can tell you then,” Zhang Ning is worried that Gao Ge may kill him out of anger for he cannot disclose the Ghost Sect’s location, so he hastens to say.

Song Yuan grins. “Your attitude is not bad.”

Gao Ge coughs and sits on the chair, asking, “When did you arrive here?”

“Probably three months ago.”

“Three months ago?” Gao Ge feels a bit surprised. “You arrived so early?”

Zhang Ning ventures to ask, “We shouldn’t have got here so early?”

Gao Ge doesn’t respond to him. Instead, he lights up a cigarette and also passes one to Song Yuan.

Song Yuan has quit smoking long before but having spent some time with Gao Ge, he takes up the habit of smoking again. When Gao Ge was away, he just felt like smoking but he didn’t have any with him. He found it quite uncomfortable.

“Would you like to smoke?” Gao Ge asks.

Zhang Ning thinks for a while and shakes his head.

Gao Ge doesn’t insist. Then he asks, “Why did you come to Zhaojiagou?”

Rather than answer Gao Ge’s question at once, Zhang Ning is deep in thought, seeming to organize his wording. It is a long story.
