“Sure.” If so, the man stopped asking them. He immediately got up and joined the fight.
The man helped Gu Ning deal with the soul, while the woman continued to beat Nicholas.
Nicholas was badly injured now, but he could still fight, so the woman had to beat him till he couldn’t fight back at all.
The man was at a higher level than the woman, so the soul was soon at a disadvantage once he joined the fight. However, if they wanted to get rid of the soul, they had to beat it to pieces, which was very hard and energy-consuming.
If they were fighting against a human, they could easily beat a human to death, but it took a lot of time to beat a soul to pieces.
As the man and Gu Ning worked with each other, the soul gradually weakened.
Within a short time, the woman seriously injured Nicholas, but didn’t kill him. When Nicholas couldn’t fight back or run away, she stopped and went to help Gu Ning deal with the soul.
The three of them were stronger together, so finally, the soul was beaten to pieces and disappeared.
At this moment, Nicholas was in complete despair. He was seriously injured and even his soul was ruined by them. It was his last hope, but it was gone now.
Ma Shibiao had the same feeling. He hoped that Nicholas and the soul could save them, but the result was quite the opposite.
“Alright, you can take them out now. Do keep your promise and don’t tell anyone what has happened here.” The woman said to Gu Ning.
“Of course, I’ll do what I promised, but can you tell me what you plan to do next?” Gu Ning asked. She wanted to persuade them to leave with her.
“I don’t think it has anything to do with you.” The woman gave Gu Ning the same reply. She was a little cold, because Gu Ning was a stranger. There was no need for her to be friendly to Gu Ning.
Gu Ning didn’t mind it at all. Instead, she understood why the woman did that. Gu Ning smiled and said, “I don’t know how many years you’ve stayed here. Given the clothes you are wearing, I bet it must have been hundreds of years. Are you sure you can get used to the current world after you leave this place? Well, if you have no intention of leaving here, you can continue to live your own life in hiding. I can’t judge, but you have such a long life. Do you really want to stay here forever? There is thinner magical power in this world now. So it’ll be difficult for you to cultivate, unless you can find a place with thick magical power.”
The woman and the man both frowned. They had no intention of leaving this place right now, but they didn’t think it would be a problem for them to continue to live.
…
Nicholas, Ma Shibiao, and the other men were stunned when they heard that the woman and the man had stayed here for hundreds of years.
Even though Nicholas was also a man with superpowers, he could only live as long as other ordinary people. As a result, it was beyond his imagination that some people could live for hundreds of years and still look so young.
Ma Shibiao and his subordinates couldn’t believe their ears, because it was totally beyond their knowledge.
“What’s your purpose?” asked the woman. They were very smart, so they knew that Gu Ning said that to them for a purpose.
Gu Ning decided to be straightforward. “I hope you can work for me.”
Hearing that, the woman and the man were mad. The man coldly said, “Work for you? Why do you think we’ll agree? Just because we won’t be able to get used to the current world after we’ve stayed here for hundreds of years? That’s ridiculous! We don’t think it’ll be a big problem.”
The man felt slighted. He was a cultivator at a high level after all, so he had great pride and felt displeased when Gu Ning slighted him.
“Of course not. I’m just impressed by your abilities. That’s why I need you,” said Gu Ning.
“You’re at a lower level than us. Why should we listen to you?” the man asked.
Although he knew that Gu Ning was stronger than her level, they could feel that she wasn’t at a high level.
The man also wanted to test Gu Ning’s abilities.
“It’s true that I’m at a lower level than you, but I didn’t mean to make you my subordinates. I just hope we can team up. We can help each other when we need it. You’re still free. You can go wherever you want,” said Gu Ning. She wasn’t domineering, and wouldn’t force outstanding people to work for her.
In fact, she wouldn’t work for other people either. She would choose to be friends with other people and help them when they needed her.
The woman and the man felt better.
“It sounds good. If you really mean it, we’re willing to do that, but it’s just our first meeting. We barely know each other. How can we trust you?” the man said.
It had been hundreds of years, so they indeed needed guidance to get used to the current world, but they couldn’t blindly trust a stranger.
Gu Ning understood their worries. After all, nobody was willing to trust a stranger at their first meeting.
All of a sudden, Gu Ning thought of Shangguan Yang. She bet that they must know Shangguan Yang. If they trusted Shangguan Yang, they should be less alert to Gu Ning.
“Oh, do you know the elder of the Kunlun Sect, Shangguan Yang?” Gu Ning said.
The woman and the man were surprised. They didn’t expect that Gu Ning could know Shangguan Yang.
“Do you mean Shangguan Yang, the elder of the Kunlun Sect?” the man asked. He heard it clearly, but he still wanted to make sure of it.
“Yes,” said Gu Ning.
“Do you know him?” the man asked again. Since Gu Ning mentioned Shangguan Yang, she should know him, but it didn’t mean that Shangguan Yang also knew her..
