When Zhou Ziru saw Zhan Chen's "panicked" appearance, he had the urge to punch him, and said fiercely: "I'm really fed up! That girl was quite reserved at first, but she climbed down the pole without chatting a few words, not only pulling and pulling, but also asking questions, so annoying!"

Zhan Chen couldn't hold back anymore and laughed out loud. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhou Ziru glared at him fiercely and scolded: "Still laughing!"

Zhan Chen stopped laughing and said to him: "Ziru, for the sake of our 'big plan', you can bear with it, I am so envious that I can chat with such a beautiful woman and pull and pull." ”

"Hmph, I don't want to pay attention to you in the future!"

"Okay, let's talk about it, we still have to get down to business, how about it, have you heard any news?" Zhan Chen finally became a little serious.

Zhou Ziru also got serious and said: "Of course, the little girl's words are still quite good, I asked a little like this, she didn't think much about it, and said it." ”

"No nonsense, more practical. ”

"Alright then, Zhan Chen, things are pretty much the same as you think, Ning Zilan's family is indeed a big family with a head and a face in the entire city that never sleeps. There are five major forces in the city that never sleeps, the most powerful of which is the city lord Sun Ming, he is a strong man in the middle level of the martial saint, ruling the entire city that never sleeps, no matter how big the strife in the city, no matter how big the commotion, as long as he makes a move, he will die down and restore peace. In his hands, he commanded a 50,000-strong "Black Feather Army", serving him, and was responsible for the security of the entire city that never sleeps. ”

"And under Sun Ming, there are four powerful families, namely the Li family, the Chen family, the Wang family, and the Ning family, these families all have several martial saint beginner powerhouses in charge, and each also has almost 10,000 private soldiers. ”

"The Ning family is Ning Zilan's family?"

"Yes, the Ning family is still the second-ranked big family in the city that never sleeps, and Ning Zilan is the only daughter of the head of the family, Ning Weitian, a dignified martial saint powerhouse. Moreover, there is more than one Martial Saint in her family, her grandfather and her uncle's cultivation has also reached the initial level of Martial Saint. ”

"I didn't expect the Ning Zilan family's torture to come from, great! I finally caught a big fish!" Zhan Chen's eyes flashed with excitement, and he asked again: "Then have you inquired about the way to leave this abyssal pool?"

"Why not?" but she said it vaguely. ”

"What the hell did she say?"

"According to Ning Zilan, leaving the Abyss is a very sacred and difficult challenge for the people of the City That Never Sleeps, and only the bravest and most powerful powerhouses are qualified to participate. It is only carried out once every 100 years, and at the time of the challenge, a ceremony is held called the 'Great Ceremony of Heaven'. The city lord of the city that never sleeps led the strongest in the city to challenge, and the difficulty of the challenge was extraordinary, and the participants were nine deaths. ”

However, she did not know the details of this ceremony, because she had only been born for sixty years, and the last time she had a great time to conquer was almost a hundred years ago. She only vaguely knew that the next Tongtian ceremony would be held in a few years, and the Ning family had been preparing for this matter. ”

"It's only been a few years? It looks like we're going to be a little bit faster. Ziru, what is this Heavenly Ceremony, don't you know a little more thoroughly?"

"No, Ning Zilan doesn't care about these things at all, she has boring things in her head, I can understand this, it's already the limit!"

"It seems that this is the only way to go. Zhan Chen sighed, and then he showed a bad smile again, and said to Zhou Ziru: "Hehe, you have worked hard, but after that, you have to work hard to have a good relationship with this little girl." ”

"Do you want me to go? If you want to go, I can't help it!" Zhou Ziru listened to his unreasonable request and broke out again.

Zhan Chen hurriedly grabbed him and said with a smile: "Ziru, this matter is not up to you, I also want to do it for you, but Ning Zilan doesn't like me." You are a little aggrieved, hold on for a few more days, you see how good our luck is, wow, we have met such a noble person all of a sudden, as long as you work harder, let us join the Ning family smoothly, and find out what the so-called 'Tongtian Grand Ceremony' is all about, maybe we can find a way to leave this abyss." ”

Zhou Ziru heard him say this, was silent for a long time, and finally made a decision: "Okay, in order to leave the Yuanchi, I will also fight!"

In the next few days, Zhou Ziru continued to approach Ning Zilan, coaxing this delicate little girl to a heart and imagination. And Zhan Chen also became more and more familiar with Ning Zilan through the interaction between the two of them, and became good friends.

Their behavior finally aroused Yang Nan's vigilance, she had privately approached Ning Zilan, asking her not to approach Zhou Ziru, and also specially approached Zhou Ziru to warn him to stay away from Ning Zilan.

But the seedling of love cannot be crushed, and the more you suppress it, the more it can thrive. Yang Nan's obstruction made Ning Zilan get closer and closer to Zhou Ziru and stick to them every day.

Gradually, Yang Nan also gave up, after all, she was just an offering under the Ning family, and she couldn't let go of going against her master.

Day by day, the team approached the city that never sleeps. On this night, the team camped in a place, and Ning Zilan pestered Zhou Ziru as before. Seeing this, Zhan Chen had a plan, stepped forward and sat next to them, with a look of regret on his face, and sighed for a long time, which finally attracted the attention of Zhou Ziru and Ning Zilan.

Ning Zilan said a lot, and couldn't help but ask him: "Zhan Chen, do you have anything on your mind, why do you keep sighing?"

This question was in Zhan Chen's heart, so he took the opportunity to say: "I'm sighing that Zhou Ziru and I can't be with you anymore!"

Ning Zilan fanned her big beautiful eyes and asked urgently, "Why is this? Why can't Ziru be with me anymore?"

"Isn't it because of Miss Ning's noble status that we can't climb high? When we joined your team, we had an agreement with Sister Nan that we would be separated from you when we arrived in the city that never sleeps, and it would not be easy to see Miss Ning again in the vast sea of people. ”

When Ning Zilan heard this, she was really anxious, and said, "Then what should I do? I don't want to be separated from my son and ru - oh, no, I will be separated from you!"

"It's a pity that Ziru and I are not from your Ning family, are you right, Brother Ziru?" Zhan Chen also specially asked Zhou Ziru.

Zhou Ziru was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Yes, Zilan, maybe the two of us won't be able to see each other in the future." ”

"Ziru, can't you even stop leaving, I'll miss you!" Ning Zilan took Zhou Ziru's hand and said, her eyes still staring at him, full of reluctance.

Zhou Ziru subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but she grabbed it too tightly and didn't succeed, so she had to pretend to be reluctant and said, "Zilan, I don't want to be separated from you, it's just that Zhan Chen and I are helpless, and when we arrive in the city that never sleeps, we don't even have a place to stay."

"Eh, didn't you say it earlier! Wouldn't it be better to stay in our Ning Mansion so that we can see each other every day!" Ning Zilan suddenly turned from worry to joy.

"Is this good? We are outsiders, will your Ning family accept it?" Zhou Ziru couldn't help asking.

"You don't have to worry, I will beg my father to take you in, when the time comes, whether it is food, drink, accommodation, or cultivation room, it will be the best!" Ning Zilan said this, and slapped her full little breasts loudly, as if she was afraid that Zhou Ziru and Zhan Chen would not believe what she said.

Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison: "Then there is Miss Lao Ning!"

The next day, the party set out again, and after three more days, they had crossed a mountain range and saw a great city lying in the midst of the dense Black Forest.

At a glance, Zhan Chen couldn't estimate its area, and he had a guess in his heart, it must be a city that never sleeps!

Sure enough, everyone was overjoyed: "We are finally home!"

Stand at the bottom of the peak to see the city that never sleeps, the city that never sleeps really lives up to its name, look at the city from afar, the light in the city is dotted, like the sky full of stars, flashing with charming light, it is beautiful. And less than ten kilometers away from the city that never sleeps, is the surging and turbulent Yuan River, which runs from north to south, as if straight to the sky.

Yang Nan said: "Okay, everyone don't watch here, haven't you seen enough?" Let's go." ”

So they were on the road again, and this time, the speed was faster, and it only took them an hour to reach the foot of the giant city.

A closer look at the city that never sleeps, it is even more lofty. Its city wall is nearly two hundred meters high, and the whole body is made of white stone boulders, which is extremely strong, and it cannot be broken without a big demon above the eighth order, and the surrounding area is endless. On the city wall, every few hundred meters, there is a sentry tower, there are soldiers waiting and watching, once the monster is found, you can ring the alarm, and the masters in the city will go out to meet it.

At this time, the gates of the city that never sleeped were wide open, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians shuttling between the gates, and almost all of them had the cultivation of a martial king or above.

In this regard, Zhan Chen specially consulted Yang Nan, and the explanation he got was: Since the Sleepless City went deep into the center of the abyssal pool, the surrounding demon beasts were numerous and strong. Therefore, if the cultivation is insufficient, they would rather stay in the city than choose to go out at will.

Entering the city, Zhan Chen immediately found a wide avenue leading to the center of the city, and every twenty meters on both sides of the road, there was a stone pillar six meters high, and the stone pillar was lit with raging flames, illuminating the entire street.

Yang Nan proudly introduced to Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru: "Zhan Chen, Zhou Ziru, this is the first time you have come, no matter the streets and alleys of our city that never sleeps, there are such pillars of fire lighting, illuminating the whole city as if it were day, so it is called 'City That Never Sleeps'!"

"Are there all the streets and alleys?" Zhan Chen was also intoxicated by this beautiful scenery, unable to extricate himself.

"Yes, let's go, and I'll give you a detailed account of what's going on in the city. ”

"Thank you, Sister Nan. ”

In the city that never sleeps, it is very lively, with rows of shops along the street, and on the street, there is a lot of traffic and pedestrians.

Yang Nan estimates that there are at least one million inhabitants living in the city. These people are large, and most of them are the descendants of those strong men who once fell into the abyss, and they have multiplied here, year after year, until today, there is such a scale.

Hearing this, Zhan Chen couldn't help but say tentatively: "Sister Nan, don't the people here want to leave this dark abyss?"
