872: Guarding the ninth floor, hearing the first Zhongyuan

"So that's how it is."

Ye Lang pondered slightly, then asked a few more questions.

After asking.

Only then did he realize that only the Ninth Level had no One guarding it.

"Then why did you even ask..."

Ye Lang looked speechlessly at the fellow Disciple who had brought him into the Town Prison Tower.

That person chuckled awkwardly, "Wasn't I just respecting your wishes?"

Ye Lang shook his head helplessly:

"If it's the Ninth Level, then the Ninth Level it is."

By this point, he finally guessed why the Town Prison Tower Master had proactively sent him a voice transmission.

Most likely, they couldn't find anyone to guard the Ninth Level, which was disturbing his sleep.

Having seen his performance last time in the Chaos Domain, and knowing he could escape from Barbarian Heaven, he must have some real skill.

Moreover, he was brought in by Ghost Qianhe.

He was considered One of their own —the kind they could trick.

Before long.

Ye Lang passed through the internal passage of the Town Prison Tower and arrived at the Ninth Level, while that fellow Disciple quickly left as if he had seen a wolf.

Ye Lang walked inside and looked around.

The Ninth Level was a pitch-black space containing a faint, thin mist.

The space seemed vast; in short, it was not as small as it looked from the outside.

As the guard, there was a small, dedicated room located on the edge of the Ninth Level.

The primary guarding duty was to monitor every level of the Town Prison Tower for any unusual occurrences.

At the same time, they also had to provide guidance to these criminals.

Guiding them to gradually become good.

It was somewhat similar to a correctional officer in Ye Lang's previous life's prison.

The moment Ye Lang stepped onto the Ninth Level, the black mist immediately surged.

The figures of criminals emerged from the black mist, One after another.

"Waa ya ya."

"Jie jie."

"Hahaha."

"Hehe."

"..."

Various strange laughs rang out consecutively, causing people's scalps to tingle.

"Another One has arrived."

"He looks so delicate and tender. Swallowing him in One bite would be delicious, wouldn't it?"

"This mistress is drooling; no One try to steal him from me."

"..."

Before Ye Lang could even make a move, the various beings within the black mist began to speak.

Not only did they speak, but they even started to act.

The black mist violently shook, generating intense power fluctuations.

Ye Lang was speechless watching this.

So they were treating him like a tasty treat, and everyone wanted a piece?

"Hehehe, Little Guy, you dare come here at such a young age."

Suddenly, a terrifying ghost face appeared before Ye Lang.

A stream of black Qi wrapped around him.

The fellow who appeared before him was clearly a member of the Human Race who had Cultivated an evil technique.

He licked his lips, scrutinizing Ye Lang from head to toe.

He seemed intent on devouring him.

If it were an ordinary Disciple of the Town Prison Palace, facing such a powerful and unpredictable existence with strong Cultivation, they would truly be terrified.

But Ye Lang's expression remained perfectly calm from beginning to end.

Firstly, he knew that the Disciples guarding the Town Prison Tower would not be harmed.

Although these criminals could play tricks on people, the moment they showed killing intent towards a guarding Disciple, they would immediately be identified and suppressed by the Town Prison Tower.

Over time.

All the criminals had learned this rule.

Secondly.

Even without the protection of the Town Prison Tower, he wouldn't put these guys in his eyes.

If they hadn't been captured and locked up, and were still outside, they might have been the Ones captured by him instead.

At this moment.

The struggling criminals also stopped.

One by One, they used various methods to try and intimidate Ye Lang.

Ye Lang shook his head, too lazy to bother with these fellows, and went straight into the small room.

He planned to absorb source power crystals to improve his Cultivation.

This aspect of the guarding duty was quite good; it didn't interfere with his Cultivation.

Before Cultivating.

He sensed a slight movement from the Copper Coffin Fragment, and his Divine Sense probed inside for a look.

It turned out someone was sending a message inside.

The person speaking was Four. He said:

"Have you heard? The King of the Eternal Nation in the Middle Yuan Realm has fallen."

"The Nine Princes' Struggle for the Throne is underway, and the Eternal Nation is in chaos."

Soon.

Other members replied.

Three: "When did this happen?"

Two: "I've heard a little. The new King hasn't been decided yet. What's strange is that the position of Empress Dowager was taken by a concubine without any heirs."

Six: "Wow, what explosive news! Too bad the Middle Yuan Realm is too far, and Father King won't let me go!"

One: "This matter is complicated. That Empress Dowager is not simple."

Ye Lang: ????

"Middle Yuan Realm?"

"Eternal Nation?"

"What is all this? I've never heard of any of it. How am I supposed to chime in?"

Ye Lang was completely confused and had no opportunity to speak.

Coincidentally, Six specifically asked him a question:

"Seven, do you have any insider information?"

"I have a **."

Ye Lang was speechless.

But he couldn't admit that he hadn't heard anything at all.

That would expose his lack of knowledge.

"Activate the System."

In times like this, Ye Lang usually had a solution.

The Invincible Lying Flat System activated.

Soon.

By using the idea of lying flat, Ye Lang received prompts from the System.

Information regarding the Middle Yuan Realm, the Eternal Nation, and even this struggle of the Nine Princes appeared in his mind.

He realized that when it came to concrete actions, the Invincible Lying Flat System couldn't match the efficiency of the One-Key Hosting System.

But when it came to gathering intelligence or information, it was unrivaled!

The Middle Yuan Realm.

It was the largest and most central region among the countless domains in the Hongmeng Domain.

The strongest forces of various races were entrenched within it.

The Eternal Nation was a Human Race faction, a first-rate Major Power within the Middle Yuan Realm.

Its scale was far beyond what the factions in the Archaic Realm could compare to.

But exactly how strong it was, Ye Lang wasn't entirely sure.

At this moment.

Based on the information he received from the System, he spoke:

"I know a little."

Six: "Really? Then tell us quickly."

The other members were also waiting for his insider information.

Ye Lang said, "The fall of the Eternal King is inextricably linked to the newly appointed Empress Dowager."

"She likely wants to seize power."

Four: "Is this true?"

Three: "If Seven's news is accurate, the Eternal Nation might truly see a change of power."

One: "The Eternal King was a Six-Step Powerful Expert. Does that Empress Dowager possess such capability?"

Six: "It sounds really complicated."

"Whether it's true or false, I only know a little."

Ye Lang calmly added this line.

His prestige instantly soared.

This move successfully left an impression of vast knowledge in the minds of the other members of the Copper Coffin Society.

To have such insider information, his background must be extraordinary.

One must know.

Any slightly powerful existence or faction would surely have heard of a Major Power on the level of the Eternal Nation.

And this wasn't just limited to the Middle Yuan Realm.

Exiting the Copper Coffin Space, Ye Lang couldn't help but rub his chin.

"Damn it."

"It looks like the Desolate Ancient Realm is just a poor, remote corner within the Hongmeng Domain."

"If I didn't have the System, I wouldn't be able to talk to them at all."

Ye Lang shook his head with a sigh.
