Chapter 447: Chapter 447

In his line of sight.

A white figure calmly glanced at him.

Upon seeing his gaze, the white figure chuckled coquettishly and with a light tap of her foot, she quickly darted toward a direction.

After a few flashes, she disappeared from sight.

"Hmm! What business does she have with me?" Zhang Xiaohao frowned and wondered.

He pondered for a while.

With a tap of his foot, he performed the Twelve Heavenly Steps and rapidly chased after her.

Zhang Xiaohao came to a stop inside the Hundred Thousand Mountains, both standing atop a tree.

About ten meters apart, they gazed at each other.

"Hehe, little brother, you’re quite fast!" the white figure giggled.

She was none other than Gong Ningyue, whom he had met earlier in the villa on the mid-mountain slope, the Palace Master of Tianyin Sect.

"Spit it out! What’s the big idea, seeking me out ?" Zhang Xiaohao said indifferently.

"What if I said I miss you, can’t eat well, can’t sleep well, would you believe me?" Gong Ningyue teased.

"What do you think?" Zhang Xiaohao said with arms crossed, playfully.

"Hehe! Little brother, you’re becoming more and more interesting; I’m starting to like you more and more. How about it? Want to consider being my little man? There are lots of perks," Gong Ningyue continued her seduction.

"You sure about that?" Zhang Xiaohao shrugged.

"Of course, sis is sure! Just give the word, and I’ll bring you over in style any time," Gong Ningyue said.

"Really?" Zhang Xiaohao countered.

"Yes! Such a good deal is something many people couldn’t get even if they searched with lanterns," Gong Ningyue said with a flirtatious wink.

"You think I’d believe that? Stop joking, get to the point!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Little brother, you’re no fun!" Gong Ningyue said, somewhat annoyed.

"That black token from Bao Butong is in your hands, right?" Gong Ningyue said seriously.

"You mean this one?" Zhang Xiaohao said.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a black token from the Shennong Ring.

"So it really is with you! If my guess is correct, Bao Butong is dead now, isn’t he?" Gong Ningyue said gravely.

"You seem very concerned about him!" Zhang Xiaohao said tauntingly.

"Hmph! Without even becoming the Saint Heir, just a candidate, and he was already putting on airs like a Saint Heir. He was an eyesore to me," Gong Ningyue said coldly.

"Seems like you and he had quite a deep feud!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Are you trying to fish for information from me?" Gong Ningyue narrowed her eyes and said.

"I couldn’t care less about your squabbles. I’m just curious, why would you, bright and early without sleep, ask me to meet?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"I want the token in your hand!" Gong Ningyue said earnestly.

"Do you think I would give you something I’ve worked so hard to obtain?" Zhang Xiaohao said sarcastically.

"I can trade you a treasure for it!" Gong Ningyue continued.

"Do I look like a fool to you?" Zhang Xiaohao scoffed.

"This black token, although I don’t know what it does, seeing how anxious you are! It must be a treasure, am I right?" Zhang Xiaohao said. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝘯𝘦𝘵

"Hehe! Little brother, are you trying to pry information out of me?" Gong Ningyue, holding her chest, said with a teasing voice.

"Stop beating around the bush; all this winding talk is tiring not just for you, but for me as well. So, spill it! What do you really want from me? I don’t believe you’d come to me over a mere black token," said Zhang Xiaohao, his lips curling up.

"Little brother, I find you cuter and cuter. Not only do you have good looks, but you’re also so smart! Consider being the man behind this sister, how about that?" Gong Ningyue said with a coquettish laugh.

"Not interested," Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Hmph! How boring! I won’t tease you anymore. I’ve come for two reasons: one is the black token in your hands, and the other is to propose a cooperation!" Gong Ningyue said solemnly.

"Cooperation? What could there possibly be for us to cooperate on? I killed a candidate Saint Heir of your Tianyin Sect," Zhang Xiaohao said.

"The tomb of a Cycle Palace Realm Great Power!" Gong Ningyue enunciated clearly.

"Huh? The tomb of a Cycle Palace Realm Great Power? Could the rumors be true?" Zhang Xiaohao asked, frowning.

"Eh! Little brother, how did you know?" Gong Ningyue asked, puzzled.

The Tianyin Sect had kept that matter very tightly guarded.

Aside from the core upper echelon within the sect, it was rare for outsiders to know about it.

"Would you believe it fell from the sky?" Zhang Xiaohao said, shrugging his shoulders.

"I don’t believe it!" Gong Ningyue shook her head.

"Really, I’m not lying to you; it fell from the sky," Zhang Xiaohao spread his hands and said.

Then, he recounted the incident of slaying the Hundred-year-old Ghost King and Green-eyed Zombie that night.

"I see! That explains it! I told myself that we of the Tianyin Sect sealed this information very tightly. Apart from the absolute upper echelon, no one else could possibly know!" Gong Ningyue said, her beautiful eyes turning.

"So, is that rumor true then?"

"What rumor?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"It is said that within the tomb of that Cycle Palace Realm Great Power lies his most prized techniques and various kinds of fortune. Even millennia-old Spiritual Medicine might exist!" Gong Ningyue said earnestly.

"What? Millennia-old Spiritual Medicine? How is that possible?" Zhang Xiaohao exclaimed in disbelief.

"Humph! It is the tomb of a Cycle Palace Realm Great Power, after all. It is said to have been handed down from the distant ancient times until now. If not for the exceedingly strong forbidding powers surrounding the tomb, so much so that the Tianyin Sect, despite sitting on a treasure mountain, was unable to do anything about it, the tomb would have been excavated by the Tianyin Sect when it was discovered over a hundred years ago. It wouldn’t have been preserved until now," Gong Ningyue explained.

"What’s the deal with this black token in my hand then?" Zhang Xiaohao asked, puzzled.

"That black token in your hand was obtained by the previous Sect Master of our Tianyin Sect, who entered the tomb at the cost of his life. There are only thirty-six in total! Only those holding a token can enter the tomb," Gong Ningyue explained.

"But didn’t you just say that the forbidding powers were too great for you to enter? Now you’re saying we can go in?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

Gong Ningyue gave Zhang Xiaohao a displeased look.

"Even the strongest formation will weaken over time without its master’s support. In one week’s time, it will be when the tomb’s forbidding powers are at their weakest. By then, anyone holding this black token will be able to enter the tomb unscathed! Otherwise, even peak Void Transformation Realm experts would be risking their lives if they entered," Gong Ningyue said.

"I see," Zhang Xiaohao nodded.

"Tell me, what kind of cooperation are you looking for?"

"I want your help to obtain that millennia-old Spiritual Medicine!" Gong Ningyue said seriously.

"Do you think that’s possible?" Zhang Xiaohao countered.
