Even with more bizarre and costly secret techniques, maintaining consciousness and strength without decay for thousands of years is almost a fantasy!
Xu Ping furrowed his brows, falling into a long silence and contemplation.
After a long while, he slowly and heavily exhaled a breath of foul air, his gaze becoming deep and sharp.
"No matter what, we must be vigilant against the Nine Nether Elder. In future interactions, I must keep more wits about me, observe secretly, and probe carefully."
"Better to guess wrong than to be unprepared."
"Then... what about Hongyi?"
Xu Ping thought of this old friend of many years once more.
He had been dealing with the Nine Nether Elder for hundreds of years.
Was he aware of the true nature of the Nine Nether Elder?
Or had he perhaps been unknowingly controlled by the Nine Nether Elder with some bizarre method long ago?
Thinking of this, Xu Ping felt a headache and shook his head helplessly.
