Chapter 999 Middle-aged Man

Chapter 999 Middle-aged Man

Xiang Nan's calculations were wrong. He originally wanted to get close to Su Ran first, and then use Su Ran to get close to Old Man Tian Ji.

Although doing so seemed to have some intention of using Su Ran as a gun, he didn't have any malicious intentions. He just made a deal with Old Man Tian Ji.

However, no matter what, Xiang Nan knew his plan. To put it bluntly, he wanted to use Su Ran. Therefore, from the beginning, he felt a little guilty towards Su Ran.

Therefore, when he saw Su Ran appear, he didn't want to provoke any more trouble and directly turned around to leave.

However, what was the next step?

Xiang Nan randomly found a tavern and sat at the window while looking at the streetscape while drinking stuffily.

The tavern was located on the 66th floor of a high-rise building. It overlooked Amethyst City and could enjoy the beauty of a brightly lit city.

"I wonder what happened to Xiao Jun and the others? Did they reach their destination?"

"I hope they can find clues to the outbreak of missing persons, and resolve the Heavenly Profound Sect one day sooner, as well as the big problem in my heart."

Xiang Nan lowered his head and drank another mouthful of wine. He was well aware of the difference in strength between himself and Xuan Qingzhu, so the World Exterminating Divine Lightning was imminent. He had to hurry up and obtain it.

Moreover, even a single Profound Ice Bomb was not enough for him to catch up to Xuan Qingzhu, he still needed more.

Xiang Nan flipped through a casual notebook, which contained some information about the World Exterminating Divine Lightning.

The Red Devil Blood Lightning he had grasped was ranked 22nd on the Divine Lightning Rankings, the White Flame Blazing Lightning was ranked 17th, and the Black Ice Frost Lightning was ranked 12th.

Xiang Nan could absorb a total of nine World Exterminating Divine Lightning. Strictly speaking, he had only absorbed one. The other two small Ice Lightning were just the derivatives of the Profound Ice Lightning. They weren't complete Divine Lightning at all.

The second World Exterminating Divine Bomb that he wanted to absorb was the Black Ice Frost Bomb that was ranked 12th. This was indeed quite worthwhile.

However, how to obtain the Profound Ice Bomb was a big problem. How could he approach Old Man Tian Ji?

Forget it, let's wait. After Old Man Tian Ji appears, let's see if there's anything similar between us.

Outside, on the brightly lit streets, there were wealthy civilians walking through the streets. There were also beggars dressed in tattered clothes crawling slowly on the street corners in the snow.

Passers-by looked down on the beggars and didn't even bother to look at them.

Too many outsiders heard about the fertility of the steel continent. They wanted to come here to get a bucket of gold. Unexpectedly, this place was only a paradise for the locals. An outsider in such a place didn't have much foothold at all.

Many wealthy people came to the Iron and Steel Continent to do business with their ideals in mind. They wanted to make a fortune, but in the end, they were displaced and begged along the streets.

In just a few days, Xiang Nan had gained a new understanding of the Iron and Steel Continent. The locals here were exceptionally united, but they treated outsiders politely and kindly on the surface. In the depths of their hearts, they felt a faint sense of indifference.

"Perhaps in their eyes, people all over the world are coveting their wealth. Everyone who comes to the Iron and Steel Continent has evil intentions." Xiang Nan smiled helplessly.

"Perhaps it is because they have endured too many tribulations that they have no choice but to take precautions?" Suddenly, this sentence came from a nearby table and connected Xiang Nan's words.

Xiang Nan turned around and saw a handsome middle-aged man with an elegant demeanor.

The man was dressed in a plain white robe that was simple but not simple. There were faint golden patterns on his collar. He placed his left hand on his leg and his right hand "pinched" a glass of wine. He carefully drank and pecked.

From the looks of it, he seemed to have a very serious cleanliness habit.

"Tribulation?" Xiang Nan raised his glass with a smile and said, "Which corner of the world hasn't had any problems? This isn't the reason why people from the Iron and Steel Continent reject outsiders."

The middle-aged man took a sip of wine and took out a brocade handkerchief. He quickly wiped it off the table for a while, then picked up his wine cup and said, "Even the disciples of the local sects did not hesitate to betray him and rob the residents of the Iron and Steel Continent."

"Such an environment makes it difficult for them to believe even their own people. How can they trust outsiders?"

Xiang Nan frowned and shook his head. "I don't agree with what you said. I don't think there are any natives in this world. There are only differences between people and outsiders."

"There are good people everywhere, and evil people everywhere. We can't generalize by region."

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up and he kept recalling Xiang Nan's words, "There is only difference between people. This kind of starting point for looking at people is quite new."

"A toast to you."

The man handed out a glass of wine.

Xiang Nan also handed out his wine glass. The moment the two of them touched each other, Xiang Nan withdrew his wine glass in time and drank it all in one mouthful.

The middle-aged man admired this small detail.

Xiang Nan saw that this person loved to be clean, so he didn't let his wine glass touch the man's wine glass to show his respect for the man's personal habits.

Xiang Nan's inadvertent action caused the middle-aged man to have at least a slight sense of identity with Xiang Nan.

The man snapped his fingers and pointed at Xiang Nan's table. "I'll pay for this little friend's bill."

After saying that, the man passed by behind Xiang Nan. Then, his body jumped slightly and he jumped out of the window.

This is the sixty-sixth floor.

Xiang Nan hurriedly looked out of the window. The middle-aged man was already walking slowly on the street not far away with his hands behind his back.

"Amazing." Xiang Nan's heart trembled slightly.

It would take time for the human body to fall. When the man jumped out of the window, Xiang Nan subconsciously looked out. According to the normal falling speed, when Xiang Nan saw it, the middle-aged man should only land on the 65th floor, at most on the 64th floor.

However, in reality, the man seemed to have ignored the falling distance. The moment he flipped through the window, he was already walking on the street.

This move made Xiang Nan feel inferior to himself. Even if it was him, he would not be able to accomplish it unless he used the Shadow Transformation Technique or transformed into lightning.

"It's sort of fun." Xiang Nan smiled.

When Xiang Nan sat down to continue drinking, something suddenly appeared on the table, causing his heart to rise.

There were a few words on the table.

"The storm is about to start. Please leave quickly."

These seven words seemed to be written on Xiang Nan's desk after someone had touched the wine with his finger.

If I'm not mistaken, it must be that middle-aged man.

Xiang Nan sucked in a breath of cold air. He had seen everything the middle-aged man had done just now, and he had no idea when he had written it.

He clearly didn't approach his desk. He just passed by behind him and jumped out of the window.

"It's getting more and more interesting." Xiang Nan rubbed his chin and sized up the words.

What does this mean? Could it be that something big is about to happen in Zijing City?

The middle-aged man had a good impression of him, so he persuaded him to leave as soon as possible to avoid being implicated?

At this moment, Xiang Nan saw a hurried figure on the street outside the window. Moreover, that figure was very familiar.

" Whampoa Ruyan?" Xiang Nan frowned.
