A Frenzy (Part 1)

How did he know?

Wang Wen was afraid that if he told the truth, he would scare that old man so much that his heart would collapse.

Furthermore, all the ancient books and records told him that the old man was invincible.

He would not be able to escape the tower in time if he provoked him.

So Wang Wen decided to take it easy.

He gave it some serious thought.

He said, "My hometown is very, very far away. There's a legend that's been passed down there. It's about how Taishang Laojun spent countless years refining a few Nine Transformations Golden Pills and preparing them for the Jade Emperor. In the end, they were secretly eaten by a stone monkey."

At that point....

Wang Wen quietly looked up at the old man in front of him.

The old man narrowed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something. Then, he asked, "What happened after that?"

"There's nothing else," Wang Wen said.
