84: Settle a grudge
True Monarch Mingyi and Senior Ji were the first to arrive at the location illuminated by the golden light.
A nine-story white jade platform appeared before their eyes.
The platform emitted a hazy clear light, echoing the golden light, and an inexplicable Dao Aura flowed over it.
The moment True Monarch Mingyi saw this nine-story platform, his gaze was fixed on the top of the platform, and his breathing involuntarily became heavier.
Senior Ji was also very surprised and carefully examined this nine-zhang platform.
A moment later.
He understood what this platform was.
At the same time, a long-lost look of excitement appeared on his face.
The Ascension Platform.
His Master had mentioned it to him before his death.
The area they were currently in was nothing more than a Secret Realm where the Immortal Sect raised Yao Beasts.
It was just that due to certain changes.
This Secret Realm was permanently sealed.
All the Immortals stationed here also withdrew.
Leaving only a group of Yao Beasts occupying the most fertile and central part of the ruins.
Therefore, the demons and monsters of this world, both in quantity and quality.
Far surpassed human forces.
And Senior Ji's Master had accidentally stumbled into a spatial rift, and only by having a unique treasure for protection was he able to preserve his life.
Even so, he was trapped here for life.
He simply couldn't get out.
His Master also told him.
Although this Secret Realm was forced to close for unknown reasons, it also made this world more complete.
After millions of years of natural repair, the Law here has also become almost perfect.
Therefore, if Senior Ji could find the Ascension Platform.
Then he would have hope of leaving here and going to a larger world.
Only through this Ascension Platform could he leave here and go to the more vast and resource-rich Upper Realm.
Senior Ji then glanced at True Monarch Mingyi, subtly increasing the distance between them.
His lifespan was nearing its end.
Only by going to the Upper Realm would he possibly achieve a Breakthrough and thus gain more lifespan.
Therefore, the spot on this Ascension Platform.
He naturally could not give it up.
He believed True Monarch Mingyi was also well aware of this.
"It seems Senior Ji knows what this nine-story platform is for!" True Monarch Mingyi composed himself and casually glanced at Senior Ji, who was a hundred paces away.
"Mingyi, you can't win against me. Retreat now, and I can spare your life!" Senior Ji didn't waste words and spoke directly.
True Monarch Mingyi had long anticipated the current situation.
But how could he hand over such a great Opportunity to someone else!
"Hmph, then I'll have to experience Senior Ji's methods!" he said, not to be outdone.
Just as the two were at loggerheads.
A tall and slender figure walked step by step towards their location.
Both of their expressions froze, and then they turned their gaze to the newcomer.
The newcomer wore a purple-gold Dragon and Tiger Dao robe, was handsome and refined, and appeared unperturbed by honor or disgrace.
He seemed to be indifferent to the dispute between the two, and no trace of an Aura emanated from him.
He looked like an ordinary passerby.
Just now, both of their attention was entirely focused on the Ascension Platform, and they had overlooked the movements around them.
It wasn't until Song Ming approached that they suddenly noticed him.
True Monarch Mingyi was the first to ask, "Boy, since you appeared nearby, do you know what happened just now?"
Although he knew the new Inspector of Daqian was named Song Ming, he didn't know what he looked like.
So, even if Song Ming stood before him now, he didn't recognize him.
Instead, he treated him as a Loose Cultivator, condescendingly interrogating him about what had just happened.
Song Ming merely glanced at him indifferently, without any response.
He walked straight out of the Thousand Demon Cave.
After all, the final World BOSS in this Secret Realm had been killed by him.
There was no longer any need to stay here.
He naturally wouldn't waste time on these natives.
Seeing himself ignored, True Monarch Mingyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and a sharp Aura instantly erupted from him, pressing towards Song Ming.
As the Grand Elder of the top power, Jin Yang Cave.
Almost everyone bowed their heads to him, and no one dared to be so disrespectful.
Normally, he would have long since killed this disrespectful Loose Cultivator with a single palm strike.
But at this moment, True Monarch Mingyi was eager to know what had happened, so he deliberately spared this person's life.
However, Song Ming was completely oblivious to this Aura, his steps unwavering, still walking forward.
True Monarch Mingyi was now thoroughly enraged, and his figure instantly vanished from his original spot.
The next moment, he had appeared in front of Song Ming.
"Heh heh, it seems you don't know who I am. How about this, I'll give you a chance, tell me what you know, otherwise, you'll die here!"
True Monarch Mingyi clasped his hands behind his back, a sinister smile on his face.
Song Ming stopped, his calm expression unchanged, and he said indifferently, "You want to know?"
True Monarch Mingyi sneered.
Song Ming continued, "Since you want to know, I'll tell you."
"Those great demons in the Thousand Demon Cave were all killed by me. After I killed them all, the Mystic Stone Demon appeared, and then I killed that demon as well."
"Immediately after, that Ascension Platform appeared. It's that simple!"
True Monarch Mingyi was first stunned by the words, then burst into laughter.
"Boy, do you think I'm easy to fool, so you're making up such nonsense to trick me!"
He had completely lost his patience at this moment and was about to cripple Song Ming's legs first.
To let him know the consequences of lying, and see if he still dared to fool him.
Just as he was about to act, he heard Song Ming say again, "Alright, since you know everything, it's time for me to collect some interest!"
True Monarch Mingyi's face completely darkened.
He had never seen such an arrogant young man, which made him very displeased.
However, at this moment.
A gasp suddenly came from behind True Monarch Mingyi.
Then a surprised voice sounded, "Grand Elder, I know this person, he is the new Inspector of Daqian, Song Ming!"
Upon hearing this, True Monarch Mingyi's movements paused.
"So you are Song Ming, what a coincidence, heh heh!"
Song Ming nodded.
He had originally intended to leave this Secret Realm world directly, but who made these Cultivators from Jin Yang Cave run into his gun barrel.
These people were unlucky, but they shouldn't blame him.
Before leaving this world, it was a good Opportunity to conveniently resolve a future hidden danger for Daqian.
"It is indeed a coincidence. I heard that you are at odds with Daqian, and I happen to be serving as Daqian's Inspector, so it's time to settle these grievances!"
Song Ming glanced at the True Monarchs of Jin Yang Cave who had surrounded him, and said with a smile.
