Chapter 141: Dao Weapon, Terrifying Enemy!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Bao Ruyuan, you dare kill a fellow disciple?!"

Blood flowed out of Xie Wenyue's mouth as she fled quickly with a look of despair.

After entering the mystic realm, Xie Wenyue was sent to a secluded forest.

Xie Wenyue got into dangerous situations several times.

After surviving through them, Xie Wenyue found the remains of a powerful warrior.

There, Xie Wenyue obtained a supreme-grade longbow. The material of the longbow was special, and when a thunder attribute martial artist used it, they could display strength beyond their own level.

This ability luckily coincided with Xie Wenyue's martial arts attribute.

However, when Xie Wenyue came out from the place where the remains of the powerful warrior was, she met Bao Ruyuan.

Xie Wenyue was alert. She wanted to distance herself from Bao Ruyuan, afraid that Bao Ruyuan would secretly attack her.

But the reality was that Bao Ruyuan was more arrogant than Xie Wenyue had imagined.

After he discovered that Xie Wenyue had obtained a treasure, he didn't hide his greed at all, and he just went after his fellow sect disciples.

"Xie Wenyue, if you put down the longbow, I will let you live!"

Bao Ruyuan chased with his longsword. The distance between the two was getting closer and closer.

Xie Wenyue didn't believe Bao Ruyuan at all.

In fact, from the moment Bao Ruyuan attacked her, he would never let Xie Wenyue go.

Because once they left the mystic realm, the fact that Bao Ruyuan attacked a fellow disciple could not be covered up at all.

Even if Elder Gujian protected him, Bao Ruyuan would definitely be sent to the Disciplinary Hall to be executed.

"You stand still! When I reach a safe distance, I will put down the longbow."

Xie Wenyue felt that she was in a huge crisis.

After being injured by Bao Ruyuan previously, Xie Wenyue's injuries still had not completely healed yet.

Once she was caught, there was no possibility of fighting back against Bao Ruyuan.

After hearing what Xie Wenyue said, Bao Ruyuan just smiled and stopped talking.

But his speed had increased again. His desire to kill Xie Wenyue was even greater now.

"You have no way out!"

Bao Ruyuan waved the longsword in his hand.

A half meter wide wind blade pierced through the air.

"Not good!"

When Xie Wenyue saw the wind blade coming towards her, her palm flashed with lightning.

She held the longbow, with her hand on the bowstring.

The lightning on her palm was instantly absorbed into the bowstring, forming a lightning arrow.

Whoosh!

An arrow pierced through the air.

The lightning arrow and wind blade collided.

Bang!

There was a violent sonic boom.

Immediately afterwards, the wind blade instantly disintegrated, but the lightning arrow still had residual energy left, so it shot towards Bao Ruyuan.

"Huh?"

Bao Ruyuan looked surprised.

Bao Ruyuan easily dodged the drained lightning arrow.

But the power of the lightning longbow still made Bao Ruyuan's envious.

'This lightning longbow is definitely a dao weapon carved with dao marks!'

Bao Ruyuan instantly realized. "Only a dao weapon can have such power!"

'I have to get this lightning longbow!'

Bao Ruyuan was now more determined to pursue Xie Wenyue.

Although the lightning longbow did not match his martial arts attribute, after obtaining it, he could easily exchange it for a huge amount of resources, or even exchange it for a dao weapon of his own attribute.

With a dao weapon, one could have the strength to kill enemies above their realm.

In the Yuelan Sect, apart from Mi Xingye, Elder Gujian, and Elder Yuancheng, no one else had a dao weapon.

Not even He Mingye and Fang Jie.

If he obtained it, he would definitely become a top-tier core disciple in the future.

Bao Ruyuan's ambition began to swell.

'Fortunately, Xie Wenyue's injuries have not healed yet, and she is still not familiar with this dao weapon. Otherwise, I would be in danger!'

Bao Ruyuan was glad.

At the same time, he lowered his head and glanced at the crystal chip in his hand.

"Senior Brother Chen is coming soon. The two of us are about to meet up. I have to get this lightning longbow before he comes, otherwise if he comes and "helps" me, at most I will get half the value of that dao weapon."

Inside Bao Ruyuan's body, wind qi began to surge, causing his speed to increase yet again.

A wind attribute void realm martial artists were the fastest among their peers.

'He still hasn't given up.'

Although the arrow just now had also allowed Xie Wenyue to know the value of the lightning longbow in her hands, her impending doom was still coming.

It was true that the dao weapon was powerful, but it also consumed a lot of stamina and true qi.

As such, after using it, Xie Wenyue's speed slowed down.

Bao Ruyuan also noticed this. After closing the distance again, Bao Ruyuan's wind blades flew out like a net.

Xie Wenyue could only dodge and shoot arrows.

But the situation was difficult to change. Bao Ruyuan had already caught up with Xie Wenyue.

"It's over!"

Bao Ruyuan looked excited.

He condensed the true qi in his body. The wind qi in his body surged as he swung his sword.

The wind blade was a meter wide.

It was not only bigger, but also faster and fiercer. It slashed towards Xie Wenyue.

Xie Wenyue was completely exhausted. She couldn't even fire an arrow anymore.

'Is this the end of my martial arts path?'

Xie Wenyue felt lonely.

However, just when the two felt that the situation was fixed and irreversible.

The huge transparent wind blade that was about to cut Xie Wenyue suddenly burst into flames.

Whoosh!

When the wind blade was about to reach Xie Wenyue's nose, the flames completely swallowed it.

The wind blade was destroyed!

Just the Bright Fire Blade could break it apart.

"Bao Ruyuan, you really didn't take Elder Yuancheng's warning seriously at all!"

Xu Ning's tall figure appeared in front of Xie Wenyue like a tall mountain, completely blocking Bao Ruyuan.

"X-Xu Ning!"

Xie Wenyue's eyes lit up with hope when she saw Xu Ning.

"Xu Ning?!"

When Bao Ruyuan saw Xu Ning, his fierce eyes twitched.

Last time at the Elite Square, Xu Ning suddenly appeared and saved Xie Wenyue.

So the events today were like a replay of that day.

"Bao Ruyuan, killing a fellow disciple is a crime punishable by execution. Last time at the Elite Square, you still had room for negotiation in the name of a spar, but now, you are hunting down your fellow disciples. Even if Elder Gujian protects you, you will still be executed!"

On top of Xu Ning's feud with Bao Ruyuan's family, they also hated each other.

Now that he had a legitimate excuse to attack Bao Ruyuan, Xu Ning did not hesitate.

Bao Ruyuan wanted to kill Xie Wenyue, and Xu Ning wanted to kill him.

'Xu Ning seems to be much stronger than before!'

Bao Ruyuan faced Xu Ning, his mind spinning.

His wind blade was close to his strongest attack, but Xu Ning's attack completely swallowed it.

'Attribute materialization, Xu Ning has already been promoted to the materialization realm!'

Bao Ruyuan knew that facing Xu Ning and Xie Wenyue, he no longer had the opportunity to seize a dao weapon by himself.

Now, he could only wait for Chen Xiaoyi to come over and join forces.

"Junior Brother Xu!"

Bao Ruyuan was ready to delay Xu Ning and wait for Chen Xiaoyi to arrive. "Do you know what Xie Wenyue is holding?"

"It's a dao weapon!"

Before Xu Ning could answer, Bao Ruyuan took the lead and said, "It's a dao weapon carved with dao marks by a dao realm master. With a dao weapon, you have the strength to kill enemies above your realm! This dao weapon is a top-notch treasure!"

"Dao weapon?"

Xu Ning knew little about this.

But after hearing Bao Ruyuan's description, he now knew how powerful a dao weapon was.

"What makes Xie Wenyue think she can control a dao weapon?"

Bao Ruyuan said in a bewitching tone, "Why don't you and I work together to kill her and take her dao weapon. After we get out, we can exchange her dao weapon for more resources, then split it 50-50. No, 70-30. How about that?"

Bao Ruyuan of course did not mean what he said. He just wanted to delay Xu Ning for the time being to buy Chen Xiaoyi time to come, then kill the two of them together.

Bao Ruyuan had already disliked Xu Ning, and now that Xu Ning had a hold over him, Bao Ruyuan wanted to get rid of Xu Ning.

"Junior Brother Xu…"

Xie Wenyue's expression changed.

Although Xu Ning rescuing her made her feel extremely grateful towards Xu Ning, Bao Ruyuan's words were too tempting.

She was afraid that Xu Ning would change his mind and attack her instead.

After all, the two had not known each other for long, and they did not have a deep relationship.

"Junior Brother Xu, I am willing to give you this dao weapon!"

Xie Wenyue was decisive.

Xu Ning didn't expect Xie Wenyue to be so decisive.

However, Xu Ning did not fall into the temptation of a dao weapon.

"Senior Sister Xie, this dao weapon is yours, you don't have to give it to me."

Xu Ning was not moved at all. Instead, he clenched the two swords in his hands.

"Bao Ruyuan, I'm actually more interested in your head than the weapon!"

Xu Ning took a step forward. "I am punishing a disciple who violated the rules on behalf of the sect, so it should also be a merit, right? Senior Sister Xie, when we leave this mystic realm, remember to testify for me!"

Whoosh!

Xu Ning swung his sword.

Water Cross Sword, water line cut.

'What terrifying sword qi!'

Bao Ruyuan's hair stood on end.

Xu Ning had condensed his true qi into a line, then materialized his water attribute. With everything ready, his sword floated over, seemingly invincible and indomitable.

Bao Ruyuan quickly waved his sword and released a wind blade.

But the wind blade immediately dissipated, and the water line instantly slashed across Bao Ruyuan's shoulder.

Poof!

A piece of flesh on Bao Ruyuan's shoulder was cut off, revealing his bones.

'This is not the initial phase of the materialization realm, but the peak, right? Even if he practiced a double secret scroll, Xu Ning shouldn't be this strong, right?!'

Bao Ruyuan was stunned.

The Bright Fire Sword came with a ball of fire.

Bao Ruyuan was about to raise his sword to deal with it, but his injured arm suddenly felt a sharp pain.

Xu Ning's attack just now was not only infused with the nature of cutting, but also the nature of penetration.

Not only could Xu Ning apply a nature to his attributes, but he could also merge the natures of his attributes. This was another change after breaking through to the void realm fifth stage.

Splash.

The corrosive and destructive nature of the Bright Fire Sword was already burning Bao Ruyuan's sword and flesh.

"No choice!"

Bao Ruyuan gritted his teeth and slapped his waist with his other hand.

Immediately after, a layer of membrane covered Bao Ruyuan's body.

Then, the flames on Bao Ruyuan's body disappeared. The pain on his body also disappeared.

This was a life-saving item given to Bao Ruyuan by Elder Gujian. Bao Ruyuan had never been willing to use it, but now that the situation was urgent, he had to use it.

If he was stingy now, he wouldn't be able to delay until Chen Xiaoyi arrived.

"Run!"

'Xu Ning is obviously in the same realm as me, but he is absolutely demolishing me. His talent may even be higher than He Mingye's!'

'He's obviously holding a mortal weapon, but he is making it look like he is holding a dao weapon!'

Bao Ruyuan knew that he was no match for Xu Ning, so he fled in the direction of Chen Xiaoyi.

"A life-saving treasure?"

When the membrane appeared on Bao Ruyuan's body, Xu Ning also realized it.

Since Mi Xingye could give him a life-saving treasure, Elder Gujian could also give his beloved disciple a life-saving treasure as well.

Now, Xu Ning didn't know if he could kill Bao Ruyuan.

But he still wanted to try.

"Senior Sister Xie, rest here first. I will go after him!"

Xu Ning turned his head and said.

"Okay!"

Xie Wenyue quickly responded.

Xu Ning chased after Bao Ruyuan and attacked him.

Bao Ruyuan was forced to face the attack. He was powerless to resist, but Xu Ning could not hurt him with the help of the protection membrane.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Xu Ning slashed at Bao Ruyuan's protective membrane.

"It works!"

As Xu Ning continued to slash the membrane, Xu Ning noticed that Bao Ruyuan's protective membrane was getting thinner and thinner.

"Senior Brother Chen is almost here, I have to hold on!"

Bao Ruyuan fought back and resisted the ongoing tide of attacks.

'With another hundred strikes, I will definitely be able to break Bao Ruyuan's defenses!'

Xu Ning was confident.

However, just when Xu Ning was about to continue his assault, he suddenly noticed that Bao Ruyuan had a strange smile on his face.

Soon, a terrifying aura overwhelmed Xu Ning.

Xu Ning suddenly felt suffocated.

"Die!"

A thunderous roar.

He saw Chen Xiaoyi with a gold crown on his head, holding a folding fan in his hand.

He punched at Xu Ning.

The earth element instantly condensed around his punch. A huge sense of oppression came.

An earthen fist condensed, with countless complex lines appearing on it, emitting a dark yellow light.

The punch flew towards Xu Ning with a fierce momentum, as if it wanted to punch Xu Ning into meat paste.

"This is… the common seal realm!"

Xu Ning instantly felt a sense of danger.

Bao Ruyuan's helper, Chen Xiaoyi, had broken through to the common seal realm!

This time, Xu Ning wanted to escape.

But the giant fist imprinted with countless lines was too fast and too terrifying.

Xu Ning couldn't escape at all. He was instantly hit by the punch.

Just when Xu Ning felt that he was going to become a meat paste, the round crystal on his chest suddenly lit up.

A spherical membrane instantly appeared, protecting Xu Ning's body.

The yellow punch did not hit Xu Ning. It just collided with the spherical membrane.

Bang!

Kacha!

The punch landed.

The earthen fist disappeared, and the spherical membrane protecting Xu Ning also shattered..

"A protective treasure?"

Chen Xiaoyi, who was now in the common seal realm, was stunned.

He thought he could kill Xu Ning in one blow, so he really didn't expect him to be still alive.

Seeing him stunned, Xu Ning seized this opportunity and quickly fled.

'Chen Xiaoyi has broken through to the common seal realm! He probably obtained his own lucky opportunity in the mystic realm!'

Xu Ning realized.

Before entering the mystic realm, Zhuo Zongyi had said that Chen Xiaoyi had already reached the peak of the void realm sixth stage, and he was the closest core disciple to reach the common seal realm besides He Mingye and Fang Jie.

"This is bad!"

Xu Ning had always been cautious, and he never fought a battle that he was not confident in.

Every time he made a move, he was confident that it would work out.

But now, with Chen Xiaoyi in front of him, Xu Ning felt extremely powerless for the first time.

Although he practiced a double secret scroll and cultivated four fifth level secret techniques, the difference between the materialization realm and the common seal realm was too great.

The common seal realm was the biggest divide in the void realm. After breaking through, one would become a top existence in a state. Even if one went out and established their own faction, they could become an overlord.

Xu Ning felt that he was in a huge crisis.

'As expected of the disciple of the Sect Master, even an in-name can obtain a protective treasure!'

Chen Xiaoyi was not angry.

Although protective treasures were powerful, the number of times it could be used was limited.

But his strength in the common seal realm could be used limitlessly.

Even if Xu Ning ran a few steps away, he could still chase after him. He was like a cat playing with a mouse.

"Senior Brother Chen, you have broken through to the common seal realm!"

The protective membrane on Bao Ruyuan's body had already disappeared. He looked at Chen Xiaoyi in shock and envy.

"After entering the mystic realm, I got a lucky opportunity."

Chen Xiaoyi looked at Xu Ning, who was running away. He was not in a hurry to chase after him. He had a constant smile on his face. He was obviously satisfied with the lucky opportunity he had got.

"Congratulations, Brother Chen!"

Bao Ruyuan quickly said, "You have become the first core disciple to reach the common seal realm after Senior Brother Fang Jie and He Mingye!"

"Senior Brother Chen, I ran into Xie Wenyue just now, and I saw that she has obtained a thunder attribute dao weapon!"

Bao Ruyuan quickly said, "I was thinking of giving it to you, so I asked for it, but she didn't give me any face, so I could only attack her to take away the thunder attribute dao weapon."

"However, just as I was about to get my hands on that dao weapon, Xu Ning suddenly appeared and stopped me. How hateful!"

This was totally not Bao Ruyuan's original intention.

Prior to this, Bao Ruyuan was in the void realm fifth stage, while Chen Xiaoyi was in the void realm sixth stage.

However, Bao Ruyuan's master Elder Gujuan was more powerful. He also had the support of some of the previous generation elders in the faction, so his status was higher than Chen Xiaoyi's master.

Thus, when the two got along, they were on equal footing.

But now that Chen Xiaoyi had crossed the void realm watershed and reached the common seal realm, his status had instantly risen.

Originally, the two only planned to cooperate, but looking at the situation now, Bao Ruyuan decided to be Chen Xiaoyi's subordinate in the mystic realm.

"Thunder attribute dao weapon?!"

Chen Xiaoyi looked surprised when he heard this.

Even though he had obtained a lucky opportunity just recently, Chen Xiaoyi was still excited to hear about a dao weapon.

"That's right!"

Bao Ruyuan fanned the flames. "A treasure like a dao weapon should belong to Senior Brother Chen! Even if it's a thunder attribute dao weapon, you can still trade it for an earth attribute dao weapon. By then, with the help of a dao weapon, your strength and status will not be weaker than Senior Brother Fang Jie and He Mingye. You might even surpass He Mingye and gain the qualifications to become a candidate for the sect master position!"

Bao Ruyuan's words made Chen Xiaoyi's head dizzy.

If he found a thunder attribute dao weapon and exchanged it with an earth attribute dao weapon, then he might really be able to challenge He Mingye and Fang Jie.

"What about Xie Wenyue?"

Chen Xiaoyi quickly asked.

Previously,Chen Xiaoyi was a little lazy, but now he was completely serious.

"Just ahead, where Xu Ning is running towards!"

Bao Ruyuan quickly pointed the way.

"Okay!"

Chen Xiaoyi turned into a shadow and chased after Xu Ning. "I must get that dao weapon!"

When Bao Ruyuan saw this, he also desperately followed behind him.

"He's catching up!"

Xu Ning could feel Chen Xiaoyi getting closer and closer.

"Xu Ning, what's wrong?"

Xu Ning had returned to Xie Wenyue's side. Seeing Xu Ning's serious expression, Xie Wenyue quickly asked.

"Go!"

Xu Ning grabbed Xie Wenyue and continued to run.

Although he was carrying a person, with Xu Ning's current strength and speed, Xie Wenyue's weight did not affect his speed at all, otherwise Xu Ning would not have brought her away.

"Bao Ruyuan has joined forces with Chen Xiaoyi, and Chen Xiaoyi has broken through to the common seal realm!"

Xie Wenyue was shocked.

An enemy in the common seal realm?!

That was too terrifying.

"Xu Ning, put me down!"

Xie Wenyue gritted her teeth: "You are in danger because of me. It's not worth risking your life for me!"

"Senior Sister Xie, you are thinking too simply. Even if I abandon you, they will not let me go. I have evidence of them harming their fellow disciples, so they will definitely try to kill me."

Xu Ning's tone was full of bitterness and helplessness.

He was in a desperate situation.

"It's all my fault."

Xie Wenyue looked guilty.

The previous time Xu Ning saved her, he was injured because of it. This time, it was a replay of that, and this time Xu Ning might have to pay a heavier price.

"There's water!"

Suddenly, Xu Ning heard a gurgling sound in the wilderness. "A river?"

Xu Ning and Xie Wenyue realized this at the same time.

He already couldn't escape in the first place, but now there was a river blocking his path.

They had obstacles on both sides.

"I can see them!"

Chen Xiaoyi and Bao Ruyuan had caught up.

'It really is a dao weapon!'

Chen Xiaoyi looked closely and saw the thunder attribute dao weapon in Wenyue's hand.

He had already broken through to the seal realm, so he was very sensitive to the dao marks carved on the dao weapon.

"Put down the dao weapon, and I'll leave your corpses intact!"

Chen Xiaoyi's tone was carefree and arrogant.

In his opinion, the dao weapon in Xie Wenyue's hand was already his.

"Xu Ning, Xie Wenyue, you can't escape this time…"

Bao Ruyuan followed, his eyes full of joy.

"Xu Ning, thank you for everything!"

Just when they were about to reach the river, Xie Wenyue's eyes were suddenly filled with madness.

She fumbled around her waist and took out a grape-sized brown pill.

Without any hesitation, Xie Wenyue swallowed the brown pill.

Xu Ning also noticed Wen Yue's actions.

He didn't know what the brown pill was, but he felt the determination and madness in Wenyue.

"Sister Xie, what kind of pill did you swallow just now?"

Xu Ning asked.

Xie Wenyue did not answer Xu Ning's question, instead she slapped Xu Ning's wrist.

With that slap, Xu Ning immediately let go of Xie Wenyue.

'It seems to be a pill that stimulates potential!'

After Xie Wenyue swallowed the pill medicine, Xu Ning noticed that her previously weakened body was instantly filled with true qi.

"Xu Ning, go!"

Xie Wenyue did not look back, but her tone was firm. "I will cover the retreat!"

Xie Wenyue knew very well that this would be her strongest moment in history.

Because the pill she swallowed just now was called a Reverse Source Pill, also known as Desperation Pill!

After falling into a desperate situation, swallowing a Desperation Pill could instantly restore one's condition to its peak, but the price was to drop into the mortal realm!

Once Xie Wenyue swallowed a Desperation Pill, she would fall from the void realm fifth stage to the mortal realm ninth stage.

For a core disciple of a large sect that everyone admired and had excellent aptitude, this kind of drop in realm was worse than killing her.

In addition to that, Xie Wenyue's martial arts foundation would also be damaged. If she wanted to break through to the void realm again, the difficulty would be ten times higher than before!

When Bao Ruyuan chased after her, Xie Wenyue was already holding on to the Desperation Pill.

Even at that time, she was not 100% certain that she dared to bear the consequences.

But seeing that Xu Ning was about to die for her, Xie Wenyue finally stopped hesitating. She took out the Desperation Pill and swallowed it.

She couldn't watch the person who saved her twice get implicated by her.

"Ha!"

The thunder qi in Xie Wenyue's body surged.

She no longer cared about the consequences. She needed to consume all of her energy and true qi.

Lightning quickly condensed in Xie Wenyue's hand.

She held the Corporal Bow, and the electric arcs in her hands were quickly drawn away by the Corporal Bow.

The energy and true qi that she had just recovered quickly disappeared as well.

Pfft!

Xie Wenyue spat out a mouthful of blood. She had consumed too much energy.

Xie Wenyue's face turned pale, even her lips went pale.

The lightning qi in her body also dissipated in an instant.

Xie Wenyue's realm had begun to fall.

"Senior Sister Xie!"

Xu Ning also noticed this.

"Go!"

Xie Wenyue's voice was sharp.

A complicated purple pattern appeared on the body of the Thunder Corporal Bow.

This was not the case when Xie Wenyue previously drew the bow.

The reason for this change was because she had injected enough true qi and attribute power to further activate the power of her dao weapon.

Whoosh!

A dark purple lightning arrow condensed.

Electric arcs jumped across the arrow, making crackling sounds.

'This is the power of a dao weapon!'

Chen Xiaoyi, who was in the common seal realm, felt a threatening aura from the arrow.

However, Chen Xiaoyi did not panic, instead he was even more excited.

Although Xie Wenyue's last arrow was a threat to him, it was not at lethal levels.

In his eyes, the stronger the dao weapon, the greater his harvest would be.

"Brother Chen, watch out for that arrow!"

Bao Ruyuan quickly reminded.

His strength was much weaker than Chen Xiaoyi, so Bao Ruyuan could feel his whole body trembling in fear.

Bao Ruyuan knew very well that if this arrow hit him, he would have no chance of survival.

"Senior Sister Xie…"

Xu Ning looked at Xie Wenyue's back. He gritted his teeth.

Although he was in danger because of Xie Wenyue, Xu Ning was quite moved by Xie Wenyue's act of sacrifice.

Xu Ning stopped looking at Xie Wenyue. He knew that he couldn't waste the opportunity Xie Wenyue had fought for him.

Xu Ning instantly reached the river and was ready to cross it.

However, just as Xu Ning condensed his qi under his feet and was about to step on the river surface, a terrifying aura made Xu Ning panic.

He lowered his head and stared at the river.

He saw that the river was pitch black. He couldn't even see half a meter deep into the water.

The river was calm, but Xu Ning knew very well that there were terrifying creatures at the bottom of the river, not just one!

The terrifying creatures in the river did not restrain their aura at all. Anyone could sense them once they got close to the river.

And their aura was stronger than Chen Xiaoyi's!

Xu Ning instantly pulled his foot back.

Crossing the river in this manner was definitely suicide.

Xu Ning looked back at Xie Wenyue.

Xie Wenyue was ready.

Whoosh!

This arrow, which contained all of Xie Wenyue's qi, flew towards Chen Xiaoyi.

The lightning arrow was like a giant lightning python, wrapped in the terrifying destructive power of lightning, as it shot towards Chen Xiaoyi.

"So fast!"

Chen Xiaoyi's expression finally changed.

He wanted to dodge, but the lightning arrow was too fast.

Chen Xiaoyi threw out a punch, which was covered in yellow lines.

Whoosh!

Xie Wenyue's arrow collided with the giant fist seal, penetrating it.

"What?"

Chen Xiaoyi's pupils shrunk. He was covered in yellow soil.

Poof!

The lightning arrow pierced through Chen Xiaoyi's fist, then his shoulder.

"Ah!"

Chen Xiaoyi screamed in pain.

More than half of his fist was gone, and a large bloody hole also appeared in his chest.

"Xu Ning…"

After Xie Wenyue shot this arrow, she felt her consciousness sinking.

Xie Wenyue's full potential had been stimulated, and she had squeezed out all of it just for that arrow. Her body had reached its limit.

She turned her head with difficulty to see if Xu Ning had run away.

However, beyond Xie Wenyue's expectations, Xu Ning turned around!

Not only did he turn around, but he also ran towards her!

Xie Wenyue wanted to shout to stop him, but she couldn't speak at all.

Her body went soft. She completely lost consciousness.

"Xie Wenyue! I will burn your bones and scatter your ashes!"

Chen Xiaoyi, who had suffered a heavy blow, no longer had the graceful bearing of before.

He ignored his injuries and rushed towards Xie Wenyue.

But Xu Ning had already picked up Xie Wenyue, his eyes full of determination.

Xu Ning knew that he had no way out.

'I'll fight to the death!'

Xu Ning's eyes were red as he hugged Xie Wenyue and rushed towards the river.

Since staying behind meant certain death, crossing the river would at least provide him a narrow chance of escape. He would take the initiative to run into danger and use danger to resist danger!

"How far can you run?!"

Chen Xiaoyi was full of murderous intent.

He waved his uninjured hand and threw another punch..

Chapter 143: Escape

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As Xu Ning jumped into the river, the large earthen fist flew towards Xu Ning's head.

At the same time, Xu Ning felt a terrifying aura locking onto him.

Xu Ning hugged Xie Wenyue tightly and landed on the surface of the river.

He pumped his true qi, stepped on the river surface, and ran towards the shore on the opposite side.

"Can you run?"

Chen Xiaoyi took a few steps and followed him to the river.

"Huh?!"

Just like Xu Ning, the moment his feet touched the river surface, Chen Xiaoyi suddenly felt a huge sense of danger.

Several terrifying auras swept past his body.

Chen Xiaoyi immediately jumped out of the river.

'There are very terrifying creatures under this river, and there are several of them, each of them stronger than me!'

Chen Xiaoyi subconsciously moved away from the river, afraid that the terrifying creatures in the river would jump out.

He was not their opponent to begin with, and now that he was injured, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Senior Brother Chen, why aren't you chasing after them?"

Bao Ruyuan leaned over.

"There are several terrifying creatures under the river, I am no match for them."

Chen Xiaoyi answered truthfully.

"But Xu Ning…"

Bao Ruyuan looked at the river.

Xu Ning had traveled two-thirds of the distance and was about to arrive ashore.

"He's dead for sure, it's just a shame about that weapon…"

As soon as Chen Xiaoyi finished speaking, the calm river surface suddenly stirred.

A huge, hideous tail covered in scales emerged from the river, exuding a shocking aura as it swept towards Xu Ning.

There were dense light blue lines on the hideous tail. It waved, aiming to hit Xu Ning's forehead.

'Sure enough, a terrifying creature under the river is attacking me!'

Xu Ning felt the strong gust of wind coming, and there was only the shadow of a giant tail in his eyes.

The speed of the giant tail was so fast that it was difficult for Xu Ning to dodge. Even if he wanted to dodge, his movements would slow down, which could lead to more terrifying creatures attacking him.

Xu Ning shouted in a low voice, and the four qi currents in his body trembled to the extreme. His true qi was being squeezed out without any care about the consequences. With that, his speed increased yet again.

Bang!

The giant tail hit Xu Ning.

But the moment it hit, a spherical membrane condensed around Xu Ning again, wrapping around Xu Ning and Xie Wenyue.

Kacha! Kacha! Kacha!

After the giant tail attack, the spherical membrane broke again, but Xu Ning and Xie Wenyue avoided the deadly attack.

Mi Xingye's protective treasure saved Xu Ning's life again.

'Two-thirds of the way!'

Xu Ning would be able to go ashore after walking another third of the distance.

'His protective treasure can be activated again?'

In the distance, Chen Xiaoyi, who thought that Xu Ning would be buried in the river, had a terrible look on his face.

Bao Ruyuan's smile also turned cold.

He hadn't realized why Chen Xiaoyi would say that Xu Ning was definitely going to die. It was not until the terrifying giant tail appeared that he realized that there were terrifying creatures at the bottom of the river that would even make a martial artist in the common seal realm so afraid.

However, just when he felt that Xu Ning was about to be smashed by the giant tail, a protective membrane appeared on Xu Ning's body again, allowing him to escape.

"He's just an in-name disciple. Is Mi Xingye really that kind?"

A protective treasure was extremely complicated to make, and it was already rare for it to be able to withstand a blow from a common seal realm martial artist.

Bao Ruyuan thought of his previous protective treasure.

It was given to him by his master, Elder Gujuan, and it could ensure his safety when facing opponents below the common seal realm.

But it was far lower in quality when compared to Xu Ning's protective treasure.

Bao Ruyuan stared at Xu Ning, hoping that he would be swallowed by the creatures under the river.

The creatures were getting closer and closer to Xu Ning.

At this time, under the river, the giant tail surfaced again.

And this time, there were three giant tails!

Three giant tails stirred the river and smashed towards Xu Ning.

Xu Ning didn't know if the protective membrane could block the impact of the three giant tails.

"Just a few steps away!"

Xu Ning could almost touch the shore.

But the three giant tails were already above his head.

The spherical membrane appeared again, and the three giant tails hit the spherical membrane.

Kacha!

The spherical membrane shattered, but this time, it only lasted for a moment.

"Not good!"

The moment the spherical membrane shattered, warning signs were blaring in Xu Ning's head.

The damage of the three giant tails caused had exceeded the limit of the membrane.

Xu Ning felt a huge force coming towards him. It was a water-infused attack!

Poof!

Xu Ning first felt a huge force deforming his body, then his internal organs were displaced.

Xu Ning vomited blood, his eyes bloodshot, his body in unbearable pain.

He forced himself not to lose consciousness.

With that impact, Xu Ning and Xie Wenyue's bodies were thrown to the opposite shore.

"I escaped…"

Xu Ning slowly got up, his mouth full of blood. He had a smile on his face.

Although the spherical membrane did not block all the damage, most of them were blocked, so Xu Ning only suffered a small portion of the total damage.

After being swept by the giant tails, Xu Ning took advantage of the momentum and threw himself onto the shore.

The giant tail disappeared into the river, leaving behind a rippling water surface, indicating that the terrifying creatures under the river were still lurking.

"Fortunately, the creatures under the river did not come out, otherwise I would have been swallowed by them before I could even cross the river."

Xu Ning picked up Xie Wenyue again, then looked at Chen Xiaoyi and Bao Ruyuan.

Looking at them, Xu Ning squeezed out a murderous expression before making a throat-slitting gesture.

After escaping death, he would definitely have to take revenge for this debt in the future.

Afterwards, Xu Ning endured the severe pain in his body and walked more inland towards the wilderness of bones on the other side.

"This Xu Ning!"

Chen Xiaoyi gritted his teeth.

"Senior Brother Chen, chase him!"

Bao Ruyuan didn't expect that Xu Ning's protective treasure could be activated three times.

"If Xu Ning can avoid the attack of the creatures at the bottom of the river, you can definitely do the same!"

Bao Ruyuan quickly urged.

If he couldn't deal with Xu Ning before leaving the mystic realm, he would be in big trouble.

"Chase, how?!"

Chen Xiaoyi almost roared. "Xu Ning has a protective treasure, but I don't! Moreover, I am seriously injured by that thunder attribute dao weapon. Once I enter the river, the creatures at the bottom of the river will definitely be more aggressive. In my current state, I might just be torn apart!"

Chen Xiaoyi was not being unreasonable. The thunder attribute dao weapon had pierced through his fist, chest, and shoulder, and his injuries still showed no signs of healing.

After being yelled at by Chen Xiaoyi, Bao Ruyuan realized he had been too hasty.

"Brother Chen, I was too rude."

Bao Ruyuan quickly said.

When Chen Xiaoyi heard this, he calmed down. "Let's find a place to recuperate first. Once my injuries are healed, it won't be difficult for me to find them."

"But Senior Brother Chen, will they find the exit of the mystic realm and leave in advance?"

Bao Ruyuan said worriedly.

"The possibility is not high, as this mystic realm is too huge and complicated. Finding the exit in such a large place is too difficult. Even for me, it will take more than a month to find the exit, let alone the two of them."

Chen Xiaoyi's words made Bao Ruyuan feel relieved. "Moreover, in their current state, it is uncertain whether they can survive in this mystic realm."

"True."

Bao Ruyuan nodded.

"Go."

Chen Xiaoyi disappeared into the wilderness of bones with Bao Ruyuan.

On the other side, Xu Ning led Xie Wenyue also went through the wilderness of bones.

After several hours, the two finally walked out of the wilderness of bones and saw a dense mountain forest.

The dense forest was full of branches and leaves, but the branches and leaves were all pitch black. There was no sound of wind in the forest, making it seem particularly eerie and quiet.

Combined with the gray sky, it gave off an inexplicable sense of oppression.

The dense forest in the mountains was like a giant beast that wanted to swallow everyone who walked in.

'I should go in first.'

Compared to the dark forest in front of him, Xu Ning felt that the wilderness of bones behind him was more terrifying.

No need to mention the white bones, even the strange river was terrifying enough.

'The mystic realm is full of dangers, and the people's hearts are unpredictable.'

Xie Wenyue was still unconscious, so Xu Ning carried her into the silent forest.

'There doesn't seem to be any dangerous creatures in this dense forest.'

Xu Ning fumbled around for a while before finding a cave.

After entering, Xu Ning put Xie Wenyue aside.

'I'll heal my injuries first, then I'll go find some lucky opportunities for myself. Once my strength improves, I'll find an opportunity to get rid of them two.'

Xu Ning was determined to take revenge.

Although his enemies were strong, Xu Ning was not afraid at all.

Xu Ning opened a medicine bag from his waist, took out a few pills and swallowed them.

Although the Flame Breath Bone Sutra was already healing his injuries, Xu Ning still needed to take some practical pill medicine to heal his injuries.

After swallowing the pill medicine, Xu Ning stuffed the rest of his pill medicine into Xie Wenyue's mouth.

Afterwards, he fumbled around Xie Wenyue's waist before finding another medicine bag.

Xu Ning selected a healing pill that he recognized from the bag. Then, he fed Xie Wenyue a few more. For the time being, he would save the rest and wait for Xie Wenyue to digest the medicine.

"Phew…"

After doing all of this, Xu Ning felt slightly relieved.

He reached out his palm and pressed it against Xie Wenyue's back. Soon after, he activated a wave of soft true qi to enter Xie Wenyue's body.

'Her injuries are serious, her meridians are damaged, and her strength has fallen to the spirit realm.'

Xu Ning frowned. He had just realized the difficult situation Wenyue was in.

'The pill she took previously has too great of a side effect. Moreover, her martial arts foundation is also damaged. It is almost impossible for her to return to the void realm fifth stage in the future.'

Xu Ning felt a little regretful.

Xu Ning only wanted to find the exit of the mystic realm and send Xie Wenyue out before continuing to explore the mystic realm.

But Xu Ning knew very well that it would not be easy to find the exit.

After confirming that Xie Wenyue's life was not in danger for the time being, Xu Ning leaned against the wall and sat cross-legged, feeling the medicinal effects of the pill medicine and the Flame Breath Bone Sutra slowly healing his body.

Xu Ning estimated that it would take at least half a month for his body to fully recover.

There was no day and night outside the cave. Time slowly passed in the darkness.

Ten days later, Xie Wenyue woke up.

"I didn't die?"

Xie Wenyue regained consciousness and was a little confused.

Feeling her weak body, she opened her eyes and sat up with difficulty.

She then saw Xu Ning leaning against the wall with his eyes closed.

"Sister Xie, you're awake."

Xu Ning felt her movement and opened his eyes.

"We're still alive?"

Xie Wenyue seemed to be in disbelief.

A look of joy appeared on her pale face.

"How did we escape?"

Xie Wenyue asked.

Xu Ning explained what had happened after Xie Wenyue fainted.

After Xie Wenyue heard this, she looked at Xu Ning and opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything in the end.

Xu Ning had saved her more than once, and it would be difficult to repay the favor she owed him.

Xie Wenyue turned her head and saw her longbow.

"Junior Brother Xu, I will give you this dao weapon."

Xie Wenyue was being very sincere.

"Senior Sister, this is yours, so it's not appropriate for me to accept it. Moreover, this is a thunder attribute dao weapon. It's useless for me to take it."

Xu Ning refused.

"But it's useless to me as well."

After Xie Wenyue woke up, she knew of her current state.

After taking the Desperation Pill, it was difficult for her to return to her peak.

"No, Senior Sister Xie." Xu Ning said, "After you leave the mystic realm, you can use this dao weapon to exchange for some pill medicine to repair your martial arts foundation. After swallowing it, you might even improve further than your previous self. Even if you can't return to your former realm, it's not bad if you can return to the void realm."

After hearing Xu Ning's words, Xie Wenyue felt more respect for Xu Ning.

Xu Ning was courageous and ruthless. He was decisive and daring when fighting against enemies, but he still had his own principles when doing things.

"Senior Sister, in two days, when my injuries are completely healed, I will bring you to an exit and send you out."

Xu Ning said.

Xu Ning's injuries had already recovered by 80%. He would fully recover in two days—this was faster than Xu Ning had expected.

After Xie Wenyue heard this, she wanted to say that she wished to no longer trouble Xu Ning, but after hearing Xu Ning's gentle and firm words, she finally nodded.

Two days went by.

Xie Wenyue had taken a lot of pill medicine during this period, which resulted in her gaining her mobility back.

As for Xu Ning, his injuries had completely recovered.

"Sister Xie."

Xu Ning said, "We should go out and explore more. Let's try to find the exit as soon as possible."

Xu Ning was a little worried that after Chen Xiaoyi recovered, they would come after him again.

"Okay."

Xie Wenyue now completely trusted Xu Ning..

Chapter 144: 20,000 Units Of Energy, Void Realm Sixth Stage!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xie Wenyue followed closely behind Xu Ning.

Since Xie Wenyue's strength had fallen to the mortal realm, she could not survive in this mystic realm alone.

Only by following Xu Ning would her safety be guaranteed.

'There doesn't seem to be any strong presence in this dense forest.'

Xu Ning cautiously walked around.

The only creatures he detected around him were small beasts that were not even demon beasts. It was as if there was no danger in the dense forest.

But Xu Ning did not relax his vigilance because of this. If there were no signs of danger in such a dangerous mystic realm, it would only mean that there was a problem.

Now that the protective bead that Ming Xinghe had given him was broken, he had to be extra careful.

'The larger and more complicated a mystic realm, the harder it is to find the exit. Moreover, exits are usually placed randomly.'

Xu Ning thought to himself.

Unknowingly, the two had walked a long distance, but they still could not pass through the dense forest.

During this period of time, they did not see any void realm demon beasts, or even mortal realm demon beasts.

"Do you want to rest for a while?"

Xu Ning turned his head and asked Xie Wenyue.

"No need."

Xie Wenyue waved her hand.

Although her realm had fallen and her injuries had not healed, as long as she did not fight, there would be no problems.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, Xu Ning and Xie Wenyue heard the sound of a gust of wind blowing.

The gust of wind blew away the weeds and trees in the dense forest.

The two looked up and suddenly saw a giant tiger demon beast with wings flying over their heads.

'What a terrifying demon beast.'

Xu Ning pulled Xie Wenyue and tried his best to hide.

Xu Ning felt that this giant tiger demon beast was even more terrifying than the lurking demon beasts in the river.

'It should be a peak void realm demon beast.'

Xu Ning made a guess and thought to himself, 'There are peak void realm demon beasts in this mystic realm. It's as if this place is the backyard of a demon beast.'

"Huh?"

As Xu Ning watched the giant tiger demon beast fly away, he noticed that it suddenly stopped in mid-air and turned around.

Its gaze penetrated the dense forest, circling in on Xu Ning.

"I was noticed!"

Xu Ning quickly grabbed Xie Wenyue. "Go!"

However, before they could even take two steps, the giant tiger demon beast flapped its wings and landed in front of them.

Its huge body crushed the surrounding trees and weeds.

Xu Ning looked at the giant tiger demon beast up close.

It was about 20 meters tall and 60 meters long. With its wings spread out, its wingspan was about as long as the length of its body.

The giant tiger demon beast lowered its head, its blue eyes glimmering. The pattern on its forehead was silver-white in color.

It was watching Xu Ning.

Xu Ning felt like a huge mountain was pressing on his shoulders.

The giant tiger demon beast did not hide its aura at all. The tremendous pressure made it difficult to breathe.

Xie Wenyue could no longer move.

"I left the wolf's den, just to enter the tiger's den?"

Xu Ning began to sweat.

However, things didn't go as Xu Ning expected. The giant tiger demon beast was not planning to hurt the two.

It lowered its huge head, leaned in front of Xu Ning and sniffed.

'It doesn't seem to want to hurt me.'

Xu Ning noticed that the aura of the giant tiger demon beast was mellowing out.

The giant tiger demon sniffed Xu Ning, then moved its head and stared straight at Xu Ning.

Xu Ning saw a very human expression in the eyes of the giant tiger demon beast.

It was shocked at first, then it looked puzzled before suddenly letting out a happy expression.

Roar!

The giant tiger demon beast suddenly roared towards the sky. It seemed to be very happy.

However, the shock wave from the roar uprooted every tree in a five-mile radius, clearing the area.

As for Xu Ning and Xie Wenyue, they were pressed to the ground. Xu Ning was fine, but Xie Wenyue was bleeding from her nose and mouth.

After venting its emotions, the silver lines on the forehead of the giant tiger demon beast flashed.

Xu Ning and Xie Wenyue felt their bodies lighten. They were then dragged by a gentle force towards the head of the giant tiger demon beast for them to be seated.

Hua! Hua!

The giant tiger demon beast flapped its wings and flew away with the two of them.

"What's going on?"

Xu Ning was puzzled.

After the giant tiger demon beast sniffed him, it showed a complicated expression, as if it was saying, "I finally found you."

'Could it be…'

Xu Ning noticed the silver lines on the forehead of the giant tiger demon beast.

Xu Ning subconsciously thought of Gray.

Once Gray matured, its fur would turn silver.

'This giant tiger demon beast is a relative of Gray?'

Xu Ning continued to make connections in his head, and because Gray was a kitten, compared to this giant tiger demon beast below him, they did have many similarities.

"Xu Ning, what happened?"

Xie Wenyue was also confused.

She had just taken a medicinal pill to relieve her injuries.

"I don't know."

Xu Ning shook his head. He did not say his guess.

That was just his intuition, so it might not be accurate.

"It seems to want to take us somewhere."

After the giant tiger demon beast spread its wings, its flying speed was extremely fast. It was flying in a straight line.

Sure enough, the truth was just as Xu Ning guessed.

The giant tiger demon beast led them to a volcano.

Faint gray smoke floated out of the crater.

The giant tiger demon beast circled in the air before diving into the volcano.

Xu Ning instantly activated his true qi and protected Xie Wenyue.

He was afraid that the two of them would be thrown into the magma.

However, what Xu Ning was worried about did not happen.

On the rock wall of the volcano, there was a wide platform. The giant tiger demon beast brought them there and landed on the platform.

The giant tiger demon beast shook its body, shaking the two down.

Below the platform, the fiery red lava was gurgling.

The giant tiger demon beast turned its head to look at the magma. Then, its forehead flashed with a silver light.

The bubbling liquid magma suddenly began to twist and rotate like a water vortex.

Afterwards, the giant tiger demon beast reached out its claws and hooked Xu Ning before throwing Xu Ning into the magma vortex.

"This!"

Xu Ning thought that the giant tiger demon beast was friendly to him, but in the blink of an eye, it threw him into the boiling magma vortex.

He had no time to think, he could only use his qi to protect his entire body. At the same time, the water qi in his body surged, condensing a layer of water that covered his entire body.

"Xu Ning!"

Xie Wenyue screamed.

But afterwards, she was flicked in the forehead by the giant tiger demon beast, then she fainted.

Xu Ning fell into the magma vortex.

However, Xu Ning did not feel the heat of the magma.

He just felt dizzy as he went down the magma vortex.

This feeling of weightlessness was similar to when he first entered the mystic realm.

Thump!

Xu Ning fell to the ground.

Xu Ning looked up and looked around. He found himself in a cave again.

There was a hole above his head. Hot magma was flowing outside the hole, but the magma did not leak into the hole, as if it was blocked by an invisible barrier.

'It seems to be a cave abode.'

There was a thick stone door in front of Xu Ning.

Xu Ning hesitated for a moment before walking over and pushing it open.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The stone door was slowly pushed open, making a vibrating noise.

Hu! Hu! Hu!

The moment the stone door was opened, flames suddenly appeared in the dark cave abode.

Flames were lit on the wall lamps.

"Where am I…"

Xu Ning walked in.

The first thing he saw was a stone tablet that was as tall as a person.

On the stone tablet, there were strange and distorted lines. After Xu Ning approached it, the lines started to emit a bright red light, then the lines began to swim in a disorderly manner.

Xu Ning stared at it and felt this strange feeling. At the same time, the fire qi in his body suddenly began to move.

Inside his body, he began to activate the internal cultivation path of the Cold Flame Dual Source Scroll, the Bright Fire Sword, and the Flame Breath Bone Sutra.

"This is…"

Xu Ning suddenly realized.

"This is a dao seal!"

Xu Ning instantly reacted.

He had learned from Zhuo Zongyi that when observing a dao seal, he would subconsciously practice his own secret scrolls and secret techniques.

'This cave was left behind by a dao realm master!'

Xu Ning finally understood the intentions of the giant tiger demon beast.

Sure enough, it did not have any ill intentions towards him, it just threw him into the magma to give him an opportunity!

'That giant tiger demon beast is likely related to Gray.'

Xu Ning was certain, "It probably smelled Gray's aura on my body, otherwise it would not show such great kindness to me."

"Grey, what kind of demon beast are you?"

A lazy gray figure appeared in Xu Ning's mind.

Xu Ning no longer observed the dao seal, as now was not the time to cultivate.

Xu Ning continued to walk inside the cave abode.

After walking for more than ten meters, Xu Ning saw another pond.

He leaned over and noticed that the water in the pond was red and sticky, it was even steaming.

Xu Ning weighed his options. After a while, he covered his fingers with his internal qi and dipped his fingers in.

'It's the same consistency as lava, but it's not hot at all.'

Xu Ning dispelled his internal qi, so his fingers were touching the sticky red liquid.

"Huh?"

Xu Ning suddenly felt a hot qi current flowing into his body.

After about ten seconds, Xu Ning suddenly received a notification from the Martial Arts Panel.

…

Discovered energy 10 units, absorb?

Yes / No

…

'There is energy in this viscous liquid!'

Xu Ning directly absorbed 10 units of energy.

Because he felt that this rate of absorption was not satisfying, he jumped into the pool, and his body completely sank into the sticky red liquid.

Xu Ning didn't do anything. He just let the qi currents flow into his body.

Xu Ning felt like a sponge absorbing energy.

…

Discovered energy 10 units, absorb?

Yes / No

…

Every two seconds, this prompt from the Martial Arts Panel would appear in front of Xu Ning.

Seeing this, Xu Ning just kept tapping "yes" with his mind.

This was the first time Xu Ning felt that repeated mechanical behavior was so interesting.

Time slowly passed by, the prompt from the Martial Arts Panel was still refreshing in front of Xu Ning.

At the same time, the red viscous liquid in the pond became thinner and thinner.

'The energy in this pond seems to be almost completely absorbed by me.'

More than half an hour had passed.

Xu Ning discovered that the pond had completely turned into ordinary water.

Expectedly, the prompt from the Martial Arts Panel did not appear again.

'The energy in this pond has been completely absorbed by me!'

Xu Ning looked a little excited.

In this crazy hour, Xu Ning absorbed a total of 20,500 units of energy!

"More than 20,000 units of energy!"

Xu Ning felt a huge sense of satisfaction.

"Martial Arts Panel!"

Xu Ning opened his Martial Arts Panel.

…

Name: Xu Ning

Martial Arts:

Cold Flame Dual Source Scroll (Void realm fifth stage: Materialization realm)

Water cross sword (Fifth level)

Bright Fire sword (Fifth level)

Tidal Fist (Fifth level)

Flame Breath Bone Sutra (Fifth level)

Available energy: 20,780 units

…

Xu Ning pressed on the "" sign next to the Cold Flame Dual Source Scroll.

…

Consume 10,000 units of energy to advance the Cold Flame Dual Source Scroll?

Yes / No

…

Xu Ning clicked "yes" without hesitation.

Xu Ning's realm directly increased to the void realm sixth stage!

"Ha!"

Xu Ning's hand turned into a sword.

Subsequently, a water sword and a fire sword appeared at the same time. They were both semi-transparent, just like Chen Xiaoyi's earth fist, which could cause both physical and attribute damage.

Attribute realm, attribute materialization!

If Xu Ning had advanced to the common seal realm, then the lines of the common seal realm would appear on the sword seal, causing its power to undergo a qualitative change!

The water and fire sword seals trembled in the air.

Xu Ning wanted to swing his sword twice to test its power, but since he was in a cave abode left by a dao realm master, Xu Ning held back.

'I'll try the Tidal Fist and Flame Breath Bone Sutra!'

Xu Ning dismissed the water sword seal and the fire sword seal. He then executed his other two secret techniques.

'Wow!'

He activated the Tidal Fist, and a large blue fist appeared with water flowing on its surface.

After activating the Flame Breath Bone Sutra, a layer of red semi-solid armor appeared on Xu Ning's body, covering him like an exoskeleton.

'Now I have both offensive and defensive abilities!'

Xu Ning was overjoyed.

He waved his hand, and the giant fist and armor disappeared.

'After breaking through to the attribute realm, in addition to this improvement, I can also transform the nature of my attributes!'

'I can freely use water annihilation, water corrosion, fire penetration, and fire cutting!'

'Not only have I become stronger, but my combat methods have become more diverse!'

Xu Ning felt a tremendous improvement in his strength.

If he encountered Bao Ruyuan again, he could kill him in three moves.

Even if he ran into Chen Xiaoyi, Xu Ning could protect himself from him.

This improvement was too great..

Chapter 145: Void Beast Rib, All Attribute Dao Weapon!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

'I consumed 10,000 units of energy to break through to the attribute realm, so I still have 10,780 units left.'

Xu Ning clicked on the Cold Flame Dual Source Scroll.

…

Consume 23,000 units of energy to advance the Cold Flame Dual Source Scroll?

Yes / No

…

'I only need 23,000 units of energy to reach the common seal realm?'

Although 23,000 units of energy was a lot, it was still less than Xu Ning had initially expected.

The common seal realm was the watershed of the void realm, so Xu Ning felt that this would mean that it would take at least three times the energy needed to advance compared to what he needed when he advancing to the attribute realm, but now it seemed that the increase was only a little more than two times.

'Just a little more than 10,000 units of energy… If I get some more lucky opportunities in this mystic realm, maybe I can advance to the common seal realm before leaving this mystic realm!'

Xu Ning's eyes lit up.

In fact, in the past, Xu Ning would first use this energy to advance his secret techniques.

After all, the consumption of secret techniques was relatively lower. The remaining 10,780 units of energy was enough for Xu Ning to level up all four secret techniques.

However, after seeing Chen Xiaoyi's strength, Xu Ning felt that it was more effective to conserve his energy and accumulate enough to break through to the common seal realm.

Xu Ning closed the Martial Arts Panel and continued to walk inside.

After taking a few steps, there was another stone door in front of Xu Ning.

This stone door looked much narrower and lighter than the previous one.

Xu Ning pushed open the door, revealing a secret room that was hundreds of square meters big. After walking in, flames appeared on the wall, lighting up the secret room.

Xu Ning walked in and looked around. He then saw two neat rows of demon beast bones in the secret room.

These bones were of various sizes; they looked complete, like it had just been taken out of specimens.

Xu Ning passed by each skeleton. He could still feel a terrifying aura from every single one.

'If I take these skeletons out, the bones can definitely be refined into high-quality weapons.'

Xu Ning continued to walk forward. At the back of the secret room, there was a stone platform.

On the stone platform, there was a wooden frame, and on the wooden frame, there was a white rib bone that was cut in half.

"This is…"

Xu Ning leaned over and looked at it carefully.

The broken rib bone looked like an ordinary animal bone at first, unlike the other bones, which still had the residual powers of a demon beast.

But even so, Xu Ning knew that this rib bone was definitely not ordinary, otherwise it would not be placed here.

Xu Ning reached out his finger and gently touched the rib bone.

'Wow!'

The moment Xu Ning's finger touched the rib bone, a silver-white light suddenly burst out from it, turning into a shadow.

Immediately after, Xu Ning saw a blurry figure of a demon beast. He could see its head was expanding, with its mouth wide open. It then twisted space and swallowed everything around it.

This scene disappeared in an instant, but Xu Ning was still shocked.

'This demon beast looks like Gray.'

Xu Ning had a complicated expression.

The wilderness of bone made Xu Ning think that this mystic realm was likely related to the Jifeng State Beast Tide 300 years ago.

And the demon beast phantom just now looked like the legendary void beast, the instigator of the beast tide.

'The void beast was killed by Shi Fengxu 300 years ago… Is Gray a descendant of this void beast?'

Xu Ning thought back to the scene of Gray swallowing demon beasts.

It was very similar to the scene of the demon beast phantom swallowing everything around it.

'After leaving the mystic realm, I have to find Gray.'

Xu Ning thought to himself.

Xu Ning carefully held the cold broken rib in his hand.

Xu Ning gently caressed it.

'The toughness of this rib is comparable to a dao weapon, but it doesn't have the power of a dao weapon.'

Xu Ning had checked out Xie Wenyue's thunder longbow previously, so he had a rough understanding of dao weapons.

With that in mind, Xu Ning tried to pour a wisp of true qi into it.

Through his true qi, Xu Ning would be able to clearly understand its internal structure.

However, after pouring a wisp of true qi into it, Xu Ning did not feel any substance in this rib bone. Instead, Xu Ning sensed an empty space inside it.

"This is…"

Xu Ning's eyes moved.

Xu Ning discovered that a separate space was hidden inside this rib bone!

The space was not big, only about ten cubic meters, but it was still extremely rare.

'This rib bone must be the rib bone of the legendary beast!'

Xu Ning was certain of this.

The legendary void beast must have possessed terrifying void talent.

'Maybe I can try interacting with the space in this rib bone.'

Xu Ning realized that this broken rib might be a treasure comparable to dao weapons.

Xu Ning casually took out a pill medicine from his waist. Afterwards, he clenched the rib bone and activated his true qi.

Immediately after, the pill medicine in Xu Ning's palm disappeared, but a pill appeared out of thin air in the rib.

'The space inside this rib can interact with the outside world. It has a storage function!'

Xu Ning smiled.

Before this, Xu Ning was wondering how to get the dao seal tablet at the entrance of the cave abode.

But with this space rib, this problem was immediately solved.

'I wonder if I can store living creatures in this space.'

Xu Ning thought.

Ten cubic meters of space was enough for him to enter.

However, Xu Ning felt that he shouldn't try this with his own body.

But there were no living creatures here…

Suddenly, Xu Ning remembered that he had a Thousand Source Bug hidden inside his belt.

After entering the mystic realm, except the time he was facing strong enemies, he was constantly recuperating. Xu Ning had almost forgotten about the Thousand Source Bug.

The Thousand Source Bug could provide 150 units of energy every month. Its growth rate was getting slowly outpaced by Xu Ning's needs.

Xu Ning opened the hidden compartment on his belt.

There were close to ten Aura Crystals inside.

Xu Ning absorbed it, obtaining 90 units of energy.

Xu Ning took out the fat bug and placed it on his hand.

'I'll try it.'

Xu Ning activated his true qi and tried to send the Thousand Source Bug into the storage space of the rib bone.

However, just when the Thousand Source Bug was about to be sent in, Xu Ning suddenly felt the storage space in the rib bone trembling.

"I don't think it's possible."

Xu Ning quickly stopped what he was doing.

He had a feeling that if he placed the Thousand Source Bug, the small storage space inside would collapse.

"Forget it."

In the end, Xu Ning gave up on this idea.

If the space collapsed because of him being stubborn, the gains would not make up for the losses.

'Let's gather some demon beast bones and bring them out.'

After figuring out how to use the storage space, Xu Ning tore down a valuable-looking skeleton near him and stuffed it into the storage space.

These bones could definitely be exchanged for Pure Source Pills.

'Is this everything in this cave?'

After storing the skeleton, Xu Ning placed the rib bone in front of his chest.

He walked around the secret room again, but he could not find any other resources.

'A dao seal stone tablet, a rib bone that has a storage space, and more than 20,000 units of energy. This harvest this time is quite plentiful…'

Xu Ning was ready to return.

Click! Click! Click!

The stone platform where the rib bone was placed suddenly trembled.

Afterwards, the stone platform descended, revealing an underground entrance on the ground of the secret room. It looked like there was a secret passage below.

'Let's go in and take a look…'

Ever since he entered the cave abode, Xu Ning only had great opportunities and did not encounter any danger, so when he saw the secret underground passage, he was daring enough to go in and take a look.

Xu Ning walked into the underground entrance and continued down the stairs.

After walking for less than a minute, Xu Ning arrived at a smaller secret room.

There were only two weak light sources burning in the secret room that was less than ten square meters big.

In the corner of the secret room, there was a human skeleton. There was a long crack on this human skeleton.

Obviously, he had been injured when he was alive.

'He should be the master of this cave abode, the dao realm master who left behind his inheritance here.'

Xu Ning already had a guess.

He thought about it, walked to the skeleton, knelt down and kowtowed three times.

The many benefits he received in this cave abode were all from this dao realm master.

'If I'm not wrong, this dao realm master should have died in the beast tide 300 years ago.'

Xu Ning had a new guess about the history of this place and the entire mystic realm. 'This mystic realm is likely to be an ancient battlefield 300 years ago. It was probably then turned into a mystic realm by a powerful senior…'

'And the power senior might be the former overlord of State Jifeng, Shi Fengxu.'

Xu Ning had heard rumors that when Shi Fengxu killed the legendary void beast, he had a few helpers.

This skeleton might have been one of his helpers when it was alive, otherwise he wouldn't have the rib bone of the legendary void beast.

As for the reason for his death, Xu Ning guessed that he had died from getting seriously injured in the fight against the legendary void beast.

Hence, before he died, he left this inheritance on the ancient battlefield of the beast tide.

"Thank you for the gift."

Xu Ning whispered, then stood up.

Click! Click! Click!

The moment Xu Ning got up, a cracking sound suddenly came from the wall.

A stone brick fell from the wall, revealing a black metal bracer in the hole.

"This is…"

Xu Ning walked in front of it and took out the metal bracer.

"It's a dao weapon!"

Xu Ning checked it out, but to no avail. "I just don't know what kind of dao weapon…"

Xu Ning activated a wisp of true qi and poured it into the metal bracer.

Complicated silver-white lines appeared on the surface of the metal bracer.

Xu Ning felt the water and fire qi in his body moving at the same time.

'This metal bracer can activate my dual attributes!'

Xu Ning's pupils shrank.

He instantly realized that this metal bracer was not only a dao weapon, but also a dao weapon that covered all attributes!

When he was recuperating in the cave, Xu Ning and Xie Wenyue had talked about dao weapons.

Xie Wenyue told Xu Ning that there were two types of dao weapons: one of the types was ordinary dao weapons, and the other type were dao weapons that covered all attributes.

Ordinary dao weapons could be refined by ordinary dao realm masters, but they were only suitable for one type of attribute. Even dao realm masters who cultivate dual secret scrolls could not refine dual attribute dao weapons.

They could only refine two dao weapons with different attributes.

The other type of dao weapon could only be refined by a higher level dao realm master.

The refinement principle of this kind of dao weapon was different from ordinary dao weapons. After refining it, it would be compatible with all attributes and was unimaginably tough.

The value of a dao weapon of all attributes was incomparable to an ordinary dao weapon.

"Thank you, Senior…"

Xu Ning clenched his black metal bracer and bowed deeply towards the remains of the dao realm master.

After a long time, Xu Ning straightened his body and walked out of the secret room.

Xu Ning had obtained all of the inheritance in this cave abode.

Xu Ning decided to stop here and return back to the way he came.

On the way back, Xu Ning put the dao seal stone tablet into his storage space.

The black metal bracer had also been attached to Xu Ning's forearm.

After the metal bracer was attached to him, it became extremely soft, as if he was touching top-grade silk.

'With this dao weapon, I will have the confidence to defeat Chen Xiaoyi!'

Xu Ning's desire for revenge grew.

After walking out of the cave, Xu Ning looked at the flowing magma above his head and activated the Flame Breath Bone Sutra.

'Wow.'

A translucent red armor appeared on Xu Ning's body.

'Let's see the power of this all-attributed dao weapon.'

Xu Ning did not stop pumping his true qi. After a few seconds, a faint silver light appeared on the surface of the black metal bracer.

The translucent armor on Xu Ning's body suddenly condensed again, almost solid.

'This metal bracer has a huge effect on my attributes!'

Xu Ning no longer hesitated and moved his body. He went past the transparent membrane above his head and entered the boiling magma.

The magma was hot, but with the armor covering his body, Xu Ning was not hurt at all.

Xu Ning was swimming towards the surface, and after 30 seconds, he emerged from the magma.

He stepped on the surface of the magma and jumped back onto the platform.

Xie Wenyue was still unconscious after being knocked out by the giant tiger demon beast.

As for the giant tiger demon beast, it was lying on the ground with its wings folded.

Its head drooped on the ground. Xu Ning stood in front of its head, looking very small.

Xu Ning's shadow was reflected in the giant tiger demon beast's eyes.

After seeing Xu Ning return, the giant tiger demon beast showed a satisfied look in its eyes.

"Thank you."

Xu Ning nodded and thanked the giant tiger demon beast.

If it weren't for the giant tiger demon beast, he wouldn't have gained this lucky opportunity.

Whoosh!

After seeing Xu Ning come out safely, the giant tiger demon beast stood up and flapped its wings.

After staring at Xu Ning for a while, the giant tiger demon beast flew out of the volcano without looking back.

The huge force from its wings made the magma below surge again.

"Leaving just like that?"

Xu Ning looked at the giant tiger demon beast disappearing from his vision. He shook his head gently.

The giant tiger demon beast seemed to have completed some kind of mission and left.

Xu Ning sighed.

'Shi Fengxu, a legendary void beast, Gray, a giant tiger demon beast, and a dao realm master's inheritance… What is the connection between all of this…'

Chapter 146: Shi Fengxu's Inheritance!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Inside the mystic realm.

In a corner.

Xu Ning and Xie Wenyue stood together.

There was a small ripple on the stonewall in front of the two.

This was one of the exits of the mystic realm.

After receiving the inheritance of the dao realm master, Xu Ning brought Xie Wenyue out of the volcano.

With Xu Ning's improvement in his strength, his detection ability grew even stronger. After five days, he finally found the exit of the mystic realm.

Considering Xie Wenyue's current state, leaving now was the best choice.

If it weren't for Xu Ning's protection, Xie Wenyue would have died in the mystic realm.

"Junior Brother Xu, be careful."

Xie Wenyue said to Xu Ning in a sincere tone.

"I will, Sister Xie."

Xu Ning said, "After you go out, quickly treat your injuries."

"Also…"

Xu Ning paused for a moment. "Sister Xie, after leaving the mystic realm, don't report the matter of Chen Xiaoyi and Bao Ruyuan hurting you just yet."

"Why?"

Xie Wenyue looked puzzled.

It was the two of them who forced Xu Ning and her into a corner.

"Just trust me, I have my own plans." Xu Ning explained, "When I go out, we can report this matter together."

Xu Ning made this decision with his own thoughts.

Even if Xie Wenyue went out and reported their misdeeds, the final investigation still had to wait until Chen Xiaoyi and Bao Ruyuan left the mystic realm.

Although Elder Yuancheng said that he would immediately execute such unruly disciples, Xu Ning felt that this was not necessarily true.

Chen Xiaoyi was now a warrior in the common seal realm, making him the strongest core disciple besides He Mingye and Fang Jie.

No one was certain that the sect would not hesitate to kill Chen Xiaoyi.

After all, disciples of this level were rare in the entire State Jifeng.

Therefore, compared to using the Disciplinary Hall to execute the two, Xu Ning was more willing to do it himself.

With his current strength, if he could find the two of them, Xu Ning would definitely have the strength to kill Chen Xiaoyi.

If he could really kill the two of them with his own hands, then it was best to hide the grudges between the two sides first.

Otherwise, if the sect discovered that the two of them had died in the mystic realm, they would definitely suspect him.

By then, he would be the one on the losing end.

Even if Xu Ning didn't succeed in the end, after he left the mystic realm and reported this matter, Chen Xiaoyi and Bao Ruyuan would still be punished by the Disciplinary Hall.

Although they might not be killed, they would still lose a layer of skin.

"Okay."

Although Xu Ning did not explain the reason to Xie Wenyue, she still chose to believe Xu Ning unconditionally.

The two had developed a strong bond of friendship with the crisis they had gone through together in the mystic realm.

"Take care."

Xie Wenyue took a deep look at Xu Ning, then touched the ripples on the stonewall with her finger. Soon after, she disappeared in front of Xu Ning's eyes.

"I'm alone now."

Xu Ning felt a little relieved.

Although he could fight against a common seal realm warrior, protecting Xie Wenyue, who was only in the mortal realm ninth stage, was quite stressful.

'Next, I have to search for more lucky opportunities in the mystic realm while searching for traces of Chen Xiaoyi and Bao Ruyuan.'

Xu Ning had a murderous look in his eyes.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

However, just when Xu Ning was about to move, there was a sudden roar in the distance.

The dark and foggy mystic realm suddenly became extremely bright.

It was like the sun had risen, chasing away the darkness.

"That is…"

Xu Ning looked at the golden light.

Ten miles away, a beam of light shot up from the ground, covering an extremely wide distance.

Xu Ning felt that all the Yuelan Sect disciples in the mystic realm should be able to see this.

'A large-scale inheritance has appeared in the mystic realm!'

Xu Ning instantly reacted.

The grander the inheritance, the bigger the commotion there would be.

This was the only way to attract more successors and select the best out of them.

"Chen Xiaoyi and Bao Ruyuan will definitely fight for this inheritance."

Xu Ning smiled. "This is also good. There is no need for me to search for them anymore. If this trip goes smoothly, I'm afraid I can kill two birds with one stone!"

Xu Ning no longer hesitated. He rushed towards the pillar of light.

At the same time.

"Senior Brother Chen, there must be an inheritance over there!"

Bao Ruyuan pointed at the light pillar and said.

'It really is an inheritance!'

After seeing this scene, Chen Xiaoyi also laughed. "A grand inheritance of this level must have been left behind by a dao realm master, and not just any dao realm master!"

"There must be a dao weapon in that inheritance! Additionally, there must also be precious resources inside!"

Chen Xiaoyi couldn't contain his excitement.

Among the Yuelan Sect disciples present in the mystic realm, he was the strongest.

As long as he entered the inheritance and avoided danger, then no one in the Yuelan Sect could compete with him.

When he thought about how he was about to obtain a dao weapon, Chen Xiaoyi couldn't suppress his emotions.

He had just recovered from his injuries, so he had not been able to find any resources for some time, but in the blink of an eye, a huge inheritance suddenly appeared before him.

"This is a great opportunity for Senior Brother Chen!"

Bao Ruyuan also said, "Moreover, Xu Ning and Xie Wenyue will definitely be attracted to this kind of inheritance. If they are going there, we can easily deal with them."

"That's right!"

Chen Xiaoyi nodded.

Xie Wenyue and Xu Ning had not only injured him, but had also escaped from his hands.

This made Chen Xiaoyi extremely angry.

Now that he had this opportunity, he had to seize it.

Chen Xiaoyi didn't think that Xu Ning and Xie Wenyue could find an exit.

Instead, he felt that the two seriously injured people might still be struggling to survive in the mystic realm.

"Go, Junior Brother Bao, don't let others take the lead!"

Chen Xiaoyi couldn't wait any longer.

"Okay!"

Bao Ruyuan quickly followed behind Chen Xiaoyi and rushed towards the light pillar.

On the other side, Xu Ning had already rushed to the inheritance site.

The inheritance was on a high mountain.

On the high mountain platform stood an enormous stone hall.

The stone hall was tall and majestic, with all kinds of demon beast murals carved on its surface. Those murals looked extremely realistic.

There was a hundred meter tall stone tablet next to the stone hall, engraved with three words.

Shi Fengxu!

This inheritance was the inheritance of Shi Fengxu, the former strongest person in State Jifeng!

'It's Shi Fengxu's inheritance!'

Xu Ning's heart was in turmoil.

It was hard to imagine how many valuable resources Shi Fengxu had left behind.

As long as he could get a share of the treasures, his gains might not be less than what he had gotten back in the cave abode.

However, facing Shi Fengxu's inheritance stone hall, Xu Ning did not go in first, instead he decided to hide in a hidden corner outside the hall.

Although the place of inheritance had treasures, it was also very dangerous.

The first to enter might have an advantage, but it would also be more dangerous.

Moreover, Xu Ning was also waiting for Chen Xiaoyi and Bao Ruyuan to appear.

If the two of them entered and he followed behind them, then the chances of him killing the two would be higher.

"T-this is Shi Fengxu's inheritance!"

"Quick, go in!"

"…"

The first few people Xu Ning saw were not Chen Xiaoyi and Bao Ruyuan, but Zhuo Zongyi and two other disciples.

Judging from their relationship, they must have joined forces after meeting in the mystic realm.

However, although Zhuo Zongyi appeared, Xu Ning did not reveal himself.

With Xu Ning's current strength, there was no need to form a team.

Moreover, he wanted to deal with Chen Xiaoyi and Bao Ruyuan in secret, so it was better to act alone.

Afterwards, more and more Yuelan Sect disciples arrived.

After everyone confirmed that this was Shi Fengxu's inheritance, they were so excited that they couldn't control themselves. They rushed in with their heads full of blood.

"Still not here…"

Xu Ning frowned. He hadn't seen the two of them yet.

However, Xu Ning suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Senior Brother Chen, look! It is Shi Fengxu's inheritance!"

Bao Ruyuan's eyes widened.

'This is a great opportunity!'

Chen Xiaoyi was also excited.

He was confident that as long as he could obtain Shi Fengxu's inheritance, he would definitely be able to surpass He Mingye and Fang Jie and become the top core disciple of the Yuelan Sect.

Even with the protection of Faction Master Mi Xingye, He Mingye would not be able to protect his position as the successor of the Faction Master.

"We were too far from here. There are already a lot of people ahead of us."

The door of the stone hall had already been opened. It was obvious that people had obviously entered inside.

"Stop wasting time, go in!"

Chen Xiaoyi and Bao Ruyuan quickly entered.

'Finally in…'

Xu Ning, who was hiding in the corner, slowly revealed himself.

After making preparations, Xu Ning followed them into the stone hall.

Inside the stone hall, it was magnificent and beautiful.

The walls were also engraved with murals.

However, the murals in the stone hall were colored, and with the bright colors, the demon beasts looked more lifelike.

'Spatial distortion teleportation again!'

After Xu Ning entered the stone hall, he realized that Bao Ruyuan and Chen Xiaoyi had disappeared.

There was another light curtain in front of the stairs leading to the stone hall.

Every time this kind of light curtain appeared, there was a huge uncertainty behind it.

No one knew what was behind the light curtain.

"Go in first."

Xu Ning no longer hesitated. He stepped forward and entered the light curtain.

'Wow!'

Xu Ning appeared behind the light curtain.

Xu Ning was surrounded by high walls, and there was a passage between the high walls.

The passage was winding and irregular.

"This is… a maze?"

Xu Ning quickly realized this.

He quickly looked around and noticed that the light curtain had disappeared.

This meant that he could come in, but couldn't go out the same way as before.

Bang!

Xu Ning hesitated for a moment before punching the wall.

But even though Xu Ning had used his full strength, the wall was still intact.

'The wall can't be broken, so if I want to leave this maze, I have to find the exit.'

Xu Ning thought to himself.

It was almost impossible to break the wall and walk out of the maze with brute force.

'I'll just feel my way forward.'

Xu Ning focused his attention.

Inside a maze, there was a high risk of getting lost. Moreover, there might be other dangers lurking around.

At this time.

Somewhere in the maze.

'Sure enough, after entering this maze, everyone is separated!'

Bao Ruyuan walked cautiously in the maze.

Without Chen Xiaoyi's protection, Bao Ruyuan was a little worried.

However, Bao Ruyuan was also gladdened by this situation.

'It's also good to leave Chen Xiaoyi like this. Otherwise, if I follow him and encounter a huge amount of resources, he will definitely take most of the resources, only leaving behind some scraps for me to get.'

Bao Ruyuan was also dissatisfied with Chen Xiaoyi.

In the past, taking into account their status and strength, the two of them were almost equal.

But after Chen Xiaoyi broke through to the common seal realm, his strength suddenly became stronger.

Especially in this mystic realm, without the protection of his master, he could only become Chen Xiaoyi's follower, which made Bao Ruyuan very unhappy.

"When I get my own lucky opportunity in this mystic realm, I will catch up with him. Chen Xiaoyi, let's see if you can restrain yourself then."

Thinking of this, Bao Ruyuan felt less nervous walking in the maze alone.

Soon, Bao Ruyuan also started to walk in the maze.

Although he had always been with Chen Xiaoyi, and although Bao Ruyuan's strength was not as good as Xu Ning's, he was still outstanding among core disciples in the Yuelan Sect.

Whoosh!

Bao Ruyuan cautiously walked forward, when he suddenly felt a noise behind him.

He quickly turned his head and saw a ball of black fog appearing behind him. It twisted a few times before turning into a hideous demon beast in a foggy state.

The demon beast only had its upper body, while its lower body was just a wisp of smoke, floating in the air.

After condensing itself, the black fog demon beast suddenly rushed towards Bao Ruyuan.

'This is bad! This is the risk of walking in the maze!'

Bao Ruyuan quickly activated the wind qi in his body, then pulled out his longsword and released a wind blade at the black fog demon beast.

Shua!

The wind blade cut the black fog demon beast into two.

Just when Bao Ruyuan breathed a sigh of relief, he discovered that the black fog demon beast had healed itself and was pouncing at him again.

'So troublesome!'

Bao Ruyuan's scalp went numb.

Bao Ruyuan had been following Chen Xiaoyi all this time, and Chen Xiaoyi had been the one who was solving all the dangers along the way.

However, in the face of danger, Bao Ruyuan was forced to raise his sword and continue to fight the black fog demon beast.

After tearing the black fog demon beast apart time and time again, Bao Ruyuan discovered that the fog on its body faded a little every time it healed, and this discovery gave Bao Ruyuan hope of defeating the black fog demon beast.

'It can be killed!'

With more confidence, Bao Ru yuan attacked more decisively.

However, during the fight, Bao Ruyuan did not notice that in the corner of the maze, half of a human face was revealed with a sinister smile on his face.

It was Xu Ning..

Chapter 147: Kill!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

'This thing is so troublesome!'

Bao Ruyuan and the black fog demon beast continued to fight.

Although the destructive power of the black fog demon beast was limited, its healing ability was extremely strong. As such, Bao Ruyuan could only weaken its strength by tearing it apart time and time again.

Finally, after fighting for nearly 15 minutes, Bao Ruyuan released several small wind blades with his sword, completely dispersing the black fog demon beast.

This time, the black fog demon beast did not condense again. It had completely dissipated.

'Finally killed it!'

Bao Ruyuan took a long breath and relaxed a little.

'This maze is full of dangers, I have to be more careful in the future.'

Bao Ruyuan adjusted himself and became more cautious. "I have to find a way to escape the maze quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome to encounter more strange demon beasts like this."

He was afraid that he would encounter more black fog demon beasts later. Plus, if one of them was already so difficult to deal with, he would definitely be no match for several of them.

Bao Ruyuan carefully moved forward with a longsword in his hand.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Bao Ruyuan seemed to sense something. He turned his head and looked at the corner of the maze behind him.

"Am I being too sensitive?"

Bao Ruyuan thought that another black fog demon beast had appeared behind him, but he couldn't find anything unusual.

But out of caution, Bao Ruyuan changed direction and walked towards the corner of the maze.

His footsteps were light, and the longsword in his hand was clenched tightly.

As he approached the corner, Bao Ruyuan rushed forward and blocked with his long sword.

However, there was no one in the corridor.

"Phew…"

Bao Ruyuan sighed in relief. "I'm getting too nervous."

However, just when Bao Ruyuan was about to continue forward, he suddenly felt a chill behind his ears.

He quickly turned around and slashed with his sword.

There was a click.

The sword was blocked.

"Xu Ning?!"

When he saw the person blocking the sword, Bao Ruyuan's eyes widened.

Xu Ning easily grabbed Bao Ruyuan's sword.

"Bao Ruyuan, we meet again!"

Xu Ning exerted force with his fingertips, and the longsword in Bao Ruyuan's hand shattered.

"Thank you for coming to me!"

'He seems to have become stronger!'

When Bao Ruyuan saw this, his whole body trembled. He immediately threw down the sword hilt and fled.

He was never Xu Ning's opponent. And now that Xu Ning had become stronger, he had no desire to fight at all.

'Could it be that not only did he and Xie Wenyue not die, but they also obtained lucky opportunities in the mystic realm?'

Bao Ruyuan's mind was full of thoughts. 'Damn it, why do they all gain something, while I still have nothing?'

After seeing Bao Ruyuan escape, Xu Ning punched out.

A water-infused Tidal Fist hit Bao Ruyuan's back.

Kacha! Kacha!

Bao Ruyuan was sent flying before landing on a wall.

At the same time, a crisp bone cracking sound came from his body.

Bao Ruyuan's face turned pale.

'Void realm sixth stage, attribute realm!'

Bao Ruyuan leaned against the wall, his eyes were full of horror as he looked at Xu Ning.

Xu Ning had not only become stronger, but also advanced by a realm.

'When I fought him for the first time not long ago, he was only in the qualitative change realm. How long has it been?'

Bao Ruyuan felt his mind go blank.

"You blocked an attack?"

Although Xu Ning didn't use his full strength, he thought he could kill him with one punch.

'It seems that I underestimated Bao Ruyuan. After all, he is still an elite among core disciples in the Yuelan Sect.'

However, although Bao Ruyuan was not killed in one blow, Xu Ning did not mind.

If one punch didn't work, then two punches would do.

A water-infused Tidal Fist appeared again, floating in the air.

"Xu Ning, spare me!"

Sensing Xu Ning's unconcealed murderous intent, Bao Ruyuan quickly begged for mercy. "It was my fault for offending you previously. When we leave the mystic realm, I will make it up to you a hundred times over. I will give you whatever you want!"

"Moreover, I am also willing to join forces with you to deal with Chen Xiaoyi. I have long disliked Chen Xiaoyi. If the two of us join forces, even if he is in the common seal realm, he may not be a match for us!"

"Xu Ning, spare me!"

Bao Ruyuan begged for mercy.

However, Bao Ruyuan's attitude did not change Xu Ning's mind at all.

Xu Ning ignored him.

Bang!

The water-infused Tidal Fist slammed down.

Ka! Ka! Ka!

Bao Ruyuan's chest collapsed.

Bao Ruyuan couldn't say another word.

He tilted his head and died.

"One is gone."

Xu Ning whispered to himself.

The two of them had a feud back at the Elite Square in the sect. After entering the mystic realm, Bao Ruyuan joined forces with Chen Xiaoyi in an attempt to kill Xu Ning. Although they did not succeed, Xu Ning was in mortal danger.

In addition, he also had a deep feud with Bao Ruyuan's family.

Xu Ning felt relieved.

Xu Ning walked forward and searched his body.

However, other than one medicine bag, Xu Ning could not find anything else.

'It seems that he had consumed a lot of resources in this mystic realm.'

Xu Ning placed the medicine bag into his rib storage space.

The pill medicines in the bag were all practical healing pill medicine, so there was not much energy contained in them, hence Xu Ning did not absorb it, instead he put it away.

Xu Ning was ready to destroy the evidence.

If he was discovered by other disciples of the sect in the maze, he might be punished by the Disciplinary Hall.

Although the probability of this happening was extremely low, it would not take too long to get rid of the evidence.

However, just when Xu Ning was about to activate the fire of annihilation, a pair of black claws suddenly reached out from the wall and pulled Bao Ruyuan's corpse into the wall.

Before Xu Ning could react, Bao Ruyuan's body disappeared.

"This…"

Xu Ning was alerted.

'This maze is quite strange.'

Xu Ning thought to himself, 'Although it was left behind by Shi Fengxu, the maze is full of demon beasts. How strange…'

After dealing with Bao Ruyuan, Xu Ning did not stay around. He continued to search for the exit of the maze, as well as Chen Xiaoyi.

Another hour went by.

Xu Ning did not encounter any other fellow disciples in the maze.

He searched along the way, but he still couldn't find the exit.

'Wow.'

A ball of black fog condensed in front of Xu Ning, turning into a black fog demon beast.

"Water Cross Sword!"

Xu Ning slashed with his sword fingers.

As soon as the black fog demon beast was condensed, it was slashed apart right in the middle.

After that, the black fog did not condense again.

Xu Ning couldn't remember how many black fog demon beasts he had killed.

For Bao Ruyuan, it took a lot of energy to deal with a black fog demon beast, but for Xu Ning, one sword move was enough.

Ever since he advanced to the attribute realm, Xu Ning could use his full strength with just the help of his sword seal and fist seal. Moreover, with the bracers equipped, Xu Ning had already put the dual swords that He Mingye gave him into his rib storage space.

'If I continue to search like this, I will be stuck in this maze for a long time.'

Xu Ning didn't have any clues to get out of here.

Suddenly, another dense cloud of black fog appeared in front of him.

"Again?"

Xu Ning was getting impatient.

"Huh?"

However, this time, the black fog demon beast was different.

This time, the black fog demon beast was not only larger, but its body was also more substantial. It no longer only had its upper body, but also its lower body.

Inside its body, one could vaguely see a round bead emitting a faint light.

'It's much stronger than the average black fog demon beast!'

Xu Ning pulled away. The Water Cross Sword seal and the Bright Fire Sword seal appeared at the same time, slashing at the body of the black fog demon beast.

Flames and water waves spread out from the demon beast.

These two sword seals were applied with the nature of annihilation. They could consume the black fog demon beast to the greatest extent.

'The effect is not obvious.'

Xu Ning discovered that immediately after the fire and water swallowed parts of its body, the demon beast just healed itself again.

And the energy that it used to heal its body came from the bead in its body.

'I have to dig it out or break the bead in its body!'

Xu Ning was quite experienced, so he soon discovered the weakness of the demon beast.

"Dao weapon!"

Xu Ning wanted to end the battle quickly, so he activated the bracer on his forearm.

Strange silver lines flowed on the surface of the bracer.

At the same time, Xu Ning's body was covered in external armor created by the Flame Breath Bone Sutra.

This time, Xu Ning rushed over. His palm turned into a claw as it grabbed at the huge black fog demon beast.

Squeak.

Xu Ning tore apart the outer layer of the black fog demon beast before reaching into its body.

The black fog demon beast suddenly panicked, and it attacked Xu Ning frantically.

But with the protection of his external armor, Xu Ning did not panic at all. He just grabbed the glowing bead and pulled it out of its body.

The moment the glowing bead was pulled out by Xu Ning, the powerful black fog demon beast slowly dissipated.

"Done…"

Xu Ning held the glowing bead in his hand and felt a layer of chilliness on the surface.

Then, the light from the glowing bead dimmed before a white light shot out and hit the wall in front of him.

Click! Click! Click!

In an instant, the wall of the maze turned into a stone door.

"This is the exit?"

Xu Ning realized.

'No wonder I couldn't find a way out. It turns out that I had to kill a complete black fog demon beast before the exit of the maze could appear.'

Xu Ning pushed open the stone door.

Behind the stone door was another twisting layer of space.

Xu Ning didn't hesitate and walked in.

Afterwards, he felt a familiar sense of weightlessness.

'Another node teleportation.'

…

'I am the first to walk out of the maze!'

Chen Xiaoyi appeared in a magnificent hall.

Just now, he had killed a complete black fog demon beast, obtained the bead, and opened the stone door.

After entering the stone door, Chen Xiaoyi appeared here.

"That is…"

Chen Xiaoyi looked at the center of the hall.

There was a high platform there, and on the high platform, three weapons wrapped in a light membrane were floating on it.

Two swords and one flying scythe.

The surface of the dao weapons was engraved with light patterns.

"Three dao weapons! Three dao weapons!"

Chen Xiaoyi laughed out loud.

He was still upset about not getting that thunder attribute dao weapon previously, but now there were three dao weapons in front of him.

Chen Xiaoyi quickly walked over.

"Ha!"

A dark yellow light condensed on Chen Xiaoyi's fist. He struck three times in a row, shattering the protective membrane of the three dao weapons.

Three different dao weapons were placed in front of Chen Xiaoyi.

'This flying sickle is an earth attribute dao weapon!'

Chen Xiaoyi tested it and found that the flying scythe matched his attributes.

'I will use this flying scythe myself. As for the two sword dao weapon, after taking it out, I can exchange it for resources, or even contribute it to the sect!'

Chen Xiaoyi had an excited look in his eyes.

"If I contribute these dao weapons to the sect, then it will be recognized as a major contribution to the sect. At that time, my status will directly surpass He Mingye's. If I can win the support of several elders, then I will have the qualifications to compete with He Mingye for the position of sect master!"

Chen Xiaoyi immediately put away the three dao weapons with a smile.

"What's that sound?"

Chen Xiaoyi suddenly heard a sound.

He quickly looked up and noticed that the lifelike demon beast murals on the wall suddenly began to twist.

Afterwards, they walked out of the murals and surrounded Chen Xiaoyi.

Chen Xiaoyi suddenly felt a strong sense of danger.

He roughly counted. There were dozens of demon beasts walking out of the murals.

Every one of them was in the void realm, and among them, there were close to ten high level void realm demon beasts!

Chen Xiaoyi suddenly felt his scalp go numb.

Even though he had obtained a flying scythe dao weapon, Chen Xiaoyi was still full of fear.

'Sure enough, these three dao weapons are not so easily obtained!'

Chen Xiaoyi was a little anxious. Even if he obtained these dao weapons, what was the point if he couldn't get out alive?

While Chen Xiaoyi was at a loss, the space in the hall suddenly distorted again.

At that moment, Xu Ning appeared in the hall.

"Chen Xiaoyi!"

"Xu Ning?!"

The two looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

"Chen Xiaoyi and so many demon beasts…"

Xu Ning quickly understood the situation.

"You didn't die? And you also passed the first level of the maze?"

Chen Xiaoyi sensed that Xu Ning had not only recovered from his injuries, but had also improved.

Chen Xiaoyi's eyes darted around, then he said, "Xu Ning, now that we are both trapped here, we are surrounded by danger. As fellow disciples, why don't we abandon our prejudices and join forces to deal with these demon beasts?"

The dozens of demon beasts gradually approached the two.

Xu Ning didn't respond to Chen Xiaoyi's words. He just looked at the demon beasts around him.

Xu Ning had a puzzled expression on his face. Although he was surrounded by demon beasts, he did not feel any danger. Instead, when he looked at the demon beasts, Xu Ning saw…

'Fear?'

Chapter 148: Three Dao Weapons

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The dozens of demon beasts were eager to pounce forward.

However, after seeing Xu Ning's eyes, they all showed a look of fear.

They immediately stopped moving forward and even took a few steps back.

'Why?'

Xu Ning thought to himself, 'Is it related to Gray again?'

"Huh?"

Chen Xiaoyi noticed this.

'These demon beasts seem to be afraid of Xu Ning!'

Chen Xiaoyi's thoughts were going through rapidly in his head, 'Could Xu Ning have obtained some kind of treasure in this mystic realm? And that treasure is causing these demon beasts to be terrified?'

'That should be the case. Moreover, Xu Ning's strength has greatly improved compared to when I last saw him. For him to be able to do this while he was severely injured back then, he must have received an inheritance from the mystic realm.'

The more Chen Xiaoyi thought about it, the more he felt that his line of thought was correct.

'This mystic realm is related to Shi Fengxu, as well as the beast tide battlefield 300 years ago. The martial arts masters who left their inheritance in this mystic realm must have participated in the beast tide war.'

'They were so strong that their inheritances are still stained with their aura. These demon beasts must be afraid of Xu Ning because they are afraid of the residual power of those martial arts masters!'

Chen Xiaoyi thought, 'These demon beasts don't dare to move because they are afraid. As long as I get rid of Xu Ning and obtain the treasure, I can use it to protect myself from these demon beasts.'

Although Chen Xiaoyi was not sure if his conjecture was 100% correct, he had no better answer for what was going on.

If he didn't attack Xu Ning now, Xu Ning could use these demon beasts to mess with him, which would be very troublesome.

"Junior Brother Xu, this is all a misunderstanding!"

Chen Xiaoyi took a step forward, closing the distance between him and Xu Ning.

"What misunderstanding?"

Xu Ning looked at Chen Xiaoyi with a smile, but took a step back. The distance between the two widened again.

Compared to the dozens of demon beasts around him, Chen Xiaoyi was obviously more dangerous.

"The cause of misunderstanding was all because of Bao Ruyuan. If he didn't drive a wedge between us, the two of us wouldn't have been so distant and hostile."

Chen Xiaoyi casually said a few nonsensical words and pressed on. "I noticed that these demon beasts are afraid of you, Junior Brother Xu. Is it because you have some kind of treasure on you?"

"So what?"

Xu Ning didn't expect Chen Xiaoyi to blabber so much.

The reason why those demon beasts feared him was not because of some tool, but likely because of Gray.

"In this case, Junior Brother Xu, why don't you lend it to me first. My strength is stronger than yours, and with the help of that treasure, I will definitely be able to repel all of these demon beasts. Afterwards, the two of us can join forces and explore this stone hall further. Maybe we can even obtain Shi Fengxu's true inheritance."

"By then, you and I can replace He Mingye and Fang Jie to become the two most outstanding disciples of the Yuelan Sect!"

Chen Xiaoyi seemed to be afraid that Xu Ning would doubt him. Hence, he grabbed the sword dao weapon from his waist and held it in his palm. "In order to show my sincerity, I am willing to give this fire-attributed dao weapon to you. It completely matches your martial arts attribute."

"Senior Brother Chen is so generous?"

Xu Ning smiled, looking surprised.

Chen Xiaoyi laughed when he saw this. He walked towards Xu Ning with the dao weapon in his hand.

Seemingly unconcerned, Xu Ning walked over as well.

However, just when the distance between the two shortened, a big yellow fist suddenly appeared in front of Xu Ning. The big fist seal, with dark yellow lines, rushed towards Xu Ning.

"Senior Brother Chen, you broke your promise!"

Although he said that, Xu Ning seemed to be prepared.

The moment the yellow fist slammed towards Xu Ning, a Tidal Fist was also instantly condensed.

Xu Ning had already activated his bracer, so the blue Tidal Fist was almost tangible.

Bang!

The two fist imprints collided and exploded upon contact. The aftershock of the collision knocked Xu Ning and Chen Xiaoyi back half a step.

'Sure enough, he has broken through to the void realm sixth stage!'

Killing intent appeared in Chen Xiaoyi's eyes. 'He is only in the attribute realm, but his punch is even more solid than mine! If it weren't for the inherent power of my punch, I wouldn't be his opponent!'

'Xu Ning definitely can't do this with his own strength. He must have used an external force! And that external force may also be a dao weapon!'

Chen Xiaoyi guessed some facts.

"Good strength!"

Chen Xiaoyi laughed. He no longer pretended to be nice. "Xu Ning, hand over the dao weapon and that treasure you have, and I can spare your life. Otherwise, you will have to die here!"

"Although your strength has greatly improved and you have been promoted to the attribute realm, you still can't fend against a common seal realm warrior. Even if you have a dao weapon, you can't defeat me. Moreover, even if you have a dao weapon, so what? I have a dao weapon as well!"

Chen Xiaoyi took out the flying scythe.

Although he had never used a similar weapon before, Chen Xiaoyi was a martial artist in the common seal realm, so it was relatively easy for him to master it.

Chen Xiaoyi swung the flying scythe in his hand, which emitted a yellow glow.

When a martial artist in the common seal realm used a dao weapon, the strength they could display was even more terrifying.

From the weapon, Xu Ning felt a sense of pressure.

However, Xu Ning did not cower. Instead, Xu Ning took the initiative to attack.

"Sword seal!"

Xu Ning's hand turned into a sword finger, and several Water Cross Sword seals and Bright Fire Sword seals instantly appeared.

After several sword seals condensed, they slashed towards Chen Xiaoyi.

'The water sword seal and the fire sword seal are both strengthened. Xu Ning has two different dao weapons!'

Chen Xiaoyi looked surprised again.

He would never expect Xu Ning to obtain an all-attributed dao weapon.

Chen Xiaoyi waved his scythe and fought against Xu Ning's sword seal.

After absorbing Chen Xiaoyi's earth attribute power, every swing of the flying scythe produced a ring of yellow light.

The yellow light and Xu Ning's sword seal simultaneously dissipated, creating waves of dizziness.

Xu Ning didn't stop at all. He activated the qi flow in his body and threw out punches one after another.

'I can't even take Xu Ning down!'

The more they fought, the more shocked Chen Xiaoyi was.

Although he had the upper hand because of his higher realm, he couldn't turn this advantage into a victory.

At this revelation, Chen Xiaoyi became a little anxious.

This anxiety caused Chen Xiaoyi to reveal a flaw.

Because he didn't coordinate well with the flying scythe, when Chen Xiaoyi poured his attribute power into the flying scythe, there was a gap.

"Good opportunity!"

Xu Ning seized the opportunity.

Xu Ning activated his full strength, and his sword seal and fist seal came crashing down.

Chen Xiaoyi could still hold on with the help of the dao weapon, but now with his dao weapon losing power, Chen Xiaoyi couldn't defend against the ferocious attacks.

'Sh*t!'

Chen Xiaoyi was instantly drowned by a bunch of sword seals and fist seals.

The attribute power in both seals instantly poured into Chen Xiaoyi's body.

"Xu Ning, let me go!"

Chen Xiaoyi felt that his body was gradually losing control. "I am willing to give you all three of my dao weapons!"

Xu Ning was not moved at all.

Poof!

Xu Ning's attribute true qi surged from his fingertips, which turned into a sharp blade, piercing Chen Xiaoyi's throat.

"You…"

Chen Xiaoyi stared at Xu Ning with hatred in his eyes.

But Chen Xiaoyi had no chance for revenge.

Chen Xiaoyi fell to the ground, dead.

"Phew…"

The moment Chen Xiaoyi fell, Xu Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Xiaoyi, who had a dao weapon, had the upper hand in the entire fight.

If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't practiced with the scythe dao weapon, the final result would have been hard to say.

Xu Ning's face was pale. The fight just now took a lot of his stamina.

Xu Ning sat on the ground. His stamina, qi, and attribute powers had been completely exhausted.

'Fortunately, these demon beasts are afraid of me, otherwise just a middle level void realm demon beasts would have been a huge threat to me.'

When Xu Ning and Chen Xiaoyi were fighting just now, the demon beasts surrounding them looked at them like spectators.

Chen Xiaoyi was dead, but these demon beasts were still staring at him.

Xu Ning didn't know what to do next.

Time slowly passed by, and Xu Ning's stamina slowly recovered.

Since these demon beasts weren't hurting him, he didn't need to care about them for the time being.

Xu Ning walked next to Chen Xiaoyi and groped around.

"Three dao weapons…"

Besides the three dao weapons on Chen Xiaoyi, there was nothing else of value.

"If I'm not wrong, these three dao weapons should have been obtained by Chen Xiaoyi in this hall."

Xu Ning guessed, "He was so unfamiliar with using this dao weapon just now; he obviously hadn't practiced it…"

Xu Ning put the three dao weapons into his rib storage space.

Although one of them was a fire-attributed dao weapon, because of the metal bracer, he had no use for it.

One all-attributed dao weapon was enough.

Afterwards, Xu Ning disposed of Chen Xiaoyi's corpse.

All of Xu Ning's enemies had been eliminated.

"These demon beasts…"

Xu Ning suddenly noticed that the demon beasts that had been standing quietly in place suddenly began to tremble.

Whoosh!

The demon beasts, whether they were high level void realm demon beasts or weaker, all postrated on the ground.

"What's going on?"

Xu Ning was also on guard.

The space near him suddenly distorted.

A giant tiger demon beast with wings appeared in the hall.

And a silver kitten stood on its head.

"It's the giant tiger demon beast!"

Xu Ning recognized it instantly.

"The thing on its head… is Gray?"

Xu Ning was surprised.

When did Gray enter this mystic realm?

Report chapter

Chapter 149: The Secret of the Beast Tide, Demon Beast Scroll

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Gray?"

Xu Ning tried to call out.

Immediately, Gray, who was on top of the head of the giant tiger demon beast, jumped down and fell into Xu Ning's arms.

"Gray, it really is you!"

Xu Ning stroked Gray's fur with a smiling eyes.

He noticed that there was a silver spiral mark on Gray's forehead.

Gray rubbed against Xu Ning's chest before turning his head and glancing at the demon beasts around him.

Afterwards, the demon beasts seemed to realize something and slowly retreated. When they approached the stone wall, they twisted themselves and entered the wall, turning back into murals.

This strange scene shocked Xu Ning.

He didn't see these demon beasts walking out of the murals just now.

A deep sound suddenly came from the throat of the giant tiger demon beast.

Its eyes stared at Xu Ning, then the silver lines on its forehead started twisting.

Xu Ning looked into its eyes and his head suddenly felt dizzy. He felt his consciousness begin to sink, as if he was being drawn to a certain place.

Xu Ning noticed that the scene around him had changed.

The surrounding halls had disappeared, replaced by a silver space.

Then, the silver space distorted again, then two figures appeared, one big and one small.

One of them was a five to six years old boy, wearing a silver shirt, with two lumps of hair on his head. His little face was chubby and his mouth was pouty.

The other person was a burly middle-aged man wearing a fiery red robe.

"Brother!"

The boy looked at Xu Ning and said in a childish voice.

"You are…"

Xu Ning seemed to realize something.

"I am Gray!"

The boy jogged to Xu Ning, wanting to throw himself into Xu Ning's arms.

However, the boy phased through Xu Ning's body.

It turned out that neither of them was real.

"Are you really Gray?"

Although Xu Ning felt that this was strange, he was very happy to see Gray in his human form.

"Yes."

The middle-aged man in the fiery red robe said, "This is the mental space that I built with the help of a dao weapon. What you see is the spirit form of me and Young Master."

"Mental space?"

This was the first time Xu Ning had heard of this.

"You can call me Xu Hujun, and I am the servant of Young Master."

Xu Hujun said to Xu Ning.

"Gray is your young master?"

Xu Ning looked at the boy next to him, then looked at Xu Hujun.

"Yes, Young Master is the only descendant of the void bloodline."

Xu Hujun replied.

"Sure enough, Gray is a descendant of that legendary void beast."

Xu Ning had already made such a guess from his experiences in the mystic realm. Now that Xu Hujun said this, it confirmed Xu Ning's guess.

But at the same time, Xu Ning felt a knot in his heart.

That void beast was the culprit behind the destruction of the people in State Jifeng 300 years ago.

As its descendant, would Gray become a fierce demon beast once it grew up?

Moreover, Xu Ning was a little afraid of Xu Hujun.

Since it referred to Gray as Young Master, it meant that the void beast was its master.

Moreover, he had seen Xu Hujun use violence against the people of State Jifeng.

"Xu Ning, I know that you have countless questions in your heart. If you want to solve them, just ask me. This is why I pulled you into this mental space."

Xu Hujun said to Xu Ning.

Just as Xu Hujun said, Xu Ning had a lot of questions about Gray, about the mystic realm, and about the beast tide 300 years ago.

"Senior Xu Hujun, I want to know, is this mystic realm a battlefield of the State Jifeng Beast Tide 300 years ago?"

Xu Ning asked the first question.

"Yes."

Xu Hujun said, "This mystic realm is the battlefield of the final battle of the beast tide. Many people who participated in the final battle left their inheritances here."

"What was the cause and process of the beast tide? Was it really the void beast that caused the tragedy in State Jifeng?"

Xu Ning stared into Xu Hujun's eyes.

"What a joke!"

After being asked this question, Xu Hujun suddenly sneered. "Nonsense. If my master hadn't used himself as the spatial eye at the last moment and perished together with the mastermind behind the beast tide, the disaster would never have ended!"

"What?"

Xu Ning was shocked.

Xu Hujun implied that not only was the void beast not responsible for the beast tide, but it was also the savior of State Jifeng.

"More than 300 years ago, everything in State Jifeng was stable. I followed my master and lived in an ancient forest far from the human race. Our void race lived together and had our own order and society away from the human race."

"Ever since Master was born, he was pampered by the entire race because of his extremely pure void bloodline. Master loved inherently freedom by nature, and he had infiltrated the human world several times. And in one of his excursions, he met a human genius named Shi Fengxu."

Xu Ning's eyes moved.

Xu Hujun explained carefully.

"Although the man and the demon beast were of different races, they appreciated each other and formed bonds of friendship with each other. The two not only traveled together in State Jifeng, but also traveled across many large states. Just when the two planned to travel further, State Jifeng was suddenly in danger."

"A person who claimed to be a beast tamer came to State Jifeng from State Wansheng."

"He was strong and ruthless. At that time, he had a treasure called the Demon Beast Scroll. With the Demon Beast Scroll, he could control most demon beasts."

Although it had been more than 300 years ago, there was still a deep sense of fear in Xu Hujun's eyes. "In order to expand the Demon Beast Scroll, he frantically captured and enslaved demon beasts in State Jifeng. At that time, many powerful demon beast packs were absorbed into the Demon Beast Scroll."

"Eventually, the void race was targeted by him…"

"Master brought me and Shi Fengxu away. We were lucky to survive. As for the other members of the void race, they were all put into the Demon Beast Scroll and enslaved. As long as they entered the scroll, demon beasts would lose their consciousness, relegating them into puppets."

"After the void race encountered such a huge crisis, Master was anxious to deal with the beast tamer and rescue his race."

"However, Shi Fengxu stopped Master. He knew that Master was not a match for the beast tamer. Faced with the beast tamer, Master would definitely die."

"However, as Master's close friend, Shi Fengxu was also unwilling to see Master endure this kind of pain, so he took out the blood essence of an ancient demon beast in the family and gave it to Master. With the help of the blood essence of the ancient demon beast, Master's realm broke through."

"Just when Master felt that the time was right and was ready to rescue his race, the beast tide suddenly broke out."

"At this point, the beast tamer had enslaved countless demon beasts in State Jifeng, making the demon beasts in the Demon Beast Scroll incomparable. And in order to make the Demon Beast Scroll even more terrifying, the beast tamer decided to refine all the demon beasts in the scroll, refining it into a peerless weapon. If the beast tamer succeeded, he would have become an overlord even after returning to State Wansheng."

"However, the beast tamer had failed. In the end, he was not strong enough. The Demon Beast Scroll lost control in the hands of the beast tamer, and countless demon beasts inside were expelled out, escaping from the Demon Beast Scroll, resulting in the beast tide."

Xu Hujun suddenly sighed, a look of pain appeared in his eyes.

'That is how the beast tide broke out?'

Xu Ning looked surprised.

Xu Hujun's statement was completely different from the rumors.

Therefore, Xu Ning still had some doubts about this.

Xu Hujun also saw that Xu Ning didn't completely believe his words, but he didn't mind. He just continued to speak.

"In order to deal with the beast tide, the sects and cultivation families of State Jifeng teamed up, abandoned their prejudices, and faced this disaster together. Shi Fengxu also stood above everyone and gradually became famous, becoming the leader of the human race."

"As a close friend of Shi Fengxu, Master wanted to follow Shi Fengxu and eradicate the beast tide together. But Master's identity as a demon beast was too sensitive at that time. He would not be accepted by the human race. In order to prevent Shi Fengxu from being suspected by the human race, Master took the initiative to leave Shi Fengxu's side."

"The human race continued to fight the beast tide."

"However, those demon beasts, with their consciousness erased, only had the instincts of wild beasts left. Without any consciousness, they were just too strong. Moreover, there were too many of them. The demon beasts in the Demon Beast Scroll did not only consist of the demon beasts that were enslaved in State Jifeng, but also the demon beasts that were enslaved by the beast tamer in other states. If you get rid of one wave, another wave will come out. It would almost never end."

"The only way to stop the disaster at the time was to find the Demon Beast Scroll and completely destroy its inner core."

"Therefore, Shi Fengxu and other human experts were desperately searching for the whereabouts of the Demon Beast Scroll and the beast tamer."

"In the end, the Demon Beast Scroll was found, but the whereabouts of the beast tamer were still unknown. Maybe when he saw the Demon Beast Scroll go out of control, he immediately returned to State Wansheng. Faced with an ownerless and dangerous Demon Beast Scroll, everyone could only take a gamble."

"Shi Fengxu led humanity's experts into the scroll, intending to find its core and destroy it. But doing this was too difficult. Even the beast tamer from State Wansheng was unable to control the Demon Beast Scroll, is there a need to mention about the people from State Jifeng?"

"Faced with the Demon Beast Scroll, Shi Fengxu and the other human powerhouses were defeated, and all of them were buried in the scroll. However, just when Shi Fengxu was about to die, Master appeared in the Demon Beast Scroll."

"For the sake of his friend Shi Fengxu, Master burnt all of his pure void blood, turning himself into the eye of the void, reversing the inner core of the scroll into pure chaotic space."

Xu Hujun had a painful expression on his face. "With that, the inner core of the Demon Beast Scroll was destroyed, and a large number of terrifying demon beasts died in the space-time turbulence. The beast tide was over."

"With the death of Master, his body was also broken down in the Demon Beast Scroll. The half rib bone you obtained just now was the remains of my master."

"So…"

Xu Ning said, "The so-called mystic realm we are in is actually an incomplete Demon Beast Scroll?!"

"Yes."

Xu Hujun said, "This mystic realm is the Demon Beast Scroll."

"Because at that time, many human powerhouses died in the Demon Beast Scroll and had left behind their inheritances, Shi Fengxu personally altered the Demon Beast Scroll into a mystic realm, waiting for the fated person to enter and receive their inheritances."

"After the Demon Beast Scroll was altered into a mystic realm, Shi Fengxu also left behind three dao weapons and hundreds of secret techniques and secret scrolls, hidden in the depths of the stone hall. If you continue to explore the stone hall later, you will receive hundreds of secret techniques and secret scrolls."

"After the Demon Beast Scroll was altered into a mystic realm, I entered it voluntarily to protect the last vestiges of my master."

"As for Shi Fengxu, after the end of the beast tide, he enjoyed great prestige. He turned the family behind him into the overlord of State Jifeng, establishing the power of the imperial family."

"After becoming the head of a state dynasty, the first thing Shi Fengxu wanted to do was to tell the world that it was indeed Master who saved State Jifeng, but he was unanimously opposed by the big cultivation families."

"Because although the beast tide was solved, the beast tamer who caused the beast tide was not punished at all. If this result was made public, then all the surviving humans in State Jifeng would be dissatisfied."

"In order to hide this fact, Master's sacrifice for the human race was ultimately concealed."

"At the same time, because of this, Shi Fengxu was dissatisfied with these big cultivation families, so he used his power and prestige to suppress them."

"Just like this, Shi Fengxu gradually stood against these families."

"After twenty years of confrontation, Shi Fengxu finally understood that unless one had the strength to suppress everything, the power of an imperial family was not stable in the martial arts world. Therefore, Shi Fengxu let go."

"He left State Jifeng to find the beast tamer, in order to settle things with him."

"After Shi Fengxu left, the dynasty collapsed and fell into chaos again. Because the big families had a feud with Shi Fengxu, they described Master as the instigator of the beast tide."

"I only found out about this a hundred years ago when I left the secret realm to search for offsprings of the void race. At that time, I was extremely angry, but there was nothing I could do."

Xu Hujun sighed again. "This is what you want to know, right?"

"Yes…"

Xu Ning basically believed in what Xu Hujun said.

"Anything else you want to know?"

Xu Hujun asked again.

"About Gray, is he the void race descendant you're looking for?"

Xu Ning asked.

"Yes."

Xu Hujun nodded. "Yes, not only is he a descendant of the void race, but he also has a pure void bloodline, just like Master. Now I plan to personally train Young Master and have him rebuild the void race.."

Chapter 150: Alchemy Master's Inheritance

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The exchange with Xu Hujun had not only allowed Xu Ning to understand hidden secrets of State Jifeng, but it had also broadened his horizons.

State Wansheng, the beast tamer, the Demon Beast Scroll…

These existences were outside of Xu Ning's knowledge.

"Senior Xu Hujun, I have another question."

Xu Ning asked, "Why is Gray so close to me?"

Xu Ning still didn't understand why Gray wanted to be with him.

"Young Master is here, so why don't you ask him?"

Xu Hujun smiled.

Xu Ning chuckled and looked at Gray, who had turned into a boy. "Gray, why were you willing to follow me?"

When Gray heard this question, he shook his head. "I don't know, I just feel close to Brother."

"This…"

In Xu Ning's opinion, this answer was too far-fetched.

"Master and Shi Fengxu were friends at first sight, so maybe you guys are the same."

Xu Hujun said.

Xu Ning realized that he couldn't get an answer, so he gave up.

He had a feeling that he should have some kind of attraction to Gray, but Gray might not have realized it yet.

Xu Hujun said, "Ever since the Demon Beast Scroll was transformed into a mystic realm, very few people have entered the mystic realm for the past 300 years. Most of those who entered by accident were buried here."

"It seems that only a few months ago, a void realm junior had survived."

"Because that void realm junior left alive, Young Master sensed the attraction of the pure void bloodline in the mystic realm, so he found this place. Afterwards, many humans entered the demon beast map, including you. The existence of this mystic realm was probably told to you by that junior."

"Maybe…"

Xu Ning didn't know about Xiao Qiyun entering the mystic realm.

"This mystic realm was originally left for the human descendants to enter and seek opportunities."

"However, the actions of those big families had left me disappointed."

Xu Hujun's eyes showed a hint of coldness. "So, I decided to reverse this mystic realm into a Demon Beast Scroll and let Young Master refine it."

'Turn the mystic realm into a Demon Beast Scroll for it to be refined by Gray?'

Xu Ning didn't understand what Xu Hujun meant.

"Since Shi Fengxu transformed the Demon Beast Scroll into a mystic realm, it naturally has a way to return back into a Demon Beast Scroll."

"Although the inner core of the Demon Beast Scroll is missing, it still has some power left. Plus, the demon beasts that are inside the mystic realm are still extremely powerful."

"Before I saw you that day, I was helping Young Master in preparation to begin reversing the mystic realm. I had only asked you to come here because the reversal of the mystic realm was beginning. As long as Young Master begins to refine, the humans in the mystic realm will be expelled from the mystic realm."

"The reason why I brought Young Master to see you this time is firstly to explain the situation to you, and secondly, to let Young Master meet you. Because it may take some time to refine the incomplete Demon Beast Scroll, Young Master is afraid that you won't be able to find him."

Xu Hujun continued.

"Brother, once I'm done refining the Demon Beast Scroll, I will find you. You have to practice hard. In the future, we must travel together."

Gray's voice was still tender. His cheeks were puffed out as he raised his head, with the yearning of a young man.

"Okay."

Xu Ning smiled at Gray.

"In this case, Xu Ning, before you leave the mystic realm, I will help you obtain another inheritance."

Xu Hujun said, "Although Shi Fengxu is powerful, the treasures he left behind here are not valuable except for the three dao weapons. Thus, the hundreds of secret scrolls and secret techniques are of little use to you."

"In this mystic realm, there is the inheritance of a master alchemist. Before he died, he left behind all of his knowledge. When your consciousness returns to your body, I will send you to his inheritance ground."

"Once you finish accepting the inheritance, Young Master will begin to refine the Demon Beast Scroll, and you will be ejected to the outside world with the others."

Xu Hujun said, "You cultivate both fire and water, which are the best attributes to become an alchemy master. I hope this inheritance will be beneficial to you!"

The mental space began to twist.

Xu Ning's consciousness returned to his body.

Gray was still in his kitten form, while the tiger demon beast was still a two-winged tiger.

Xu Hujun lifted Xu Ning to head and left the stone hall.

After leaving the stone hall, Xu Hujun spread his wings and sped away, bringing Xu Ning to a tall mountain.

"Gray, take care."

Xu Ning stroked Gray's fur and handed it to Xu Hujun.

Xu Hujun roared, then threw Xu Ning into a hidden cave and disappeared.

"An alchemy master's inheritance…"

Xu Ning walked deeper into the cave with a look of expectation in his eyes.

For Xu Ning, the energy sources he relied on the most to improve were pill medicines and spirit medicines.

If he could become a powerful alchemist, then it would definitely be beneficial to his future advancements.

…

At this time.

Outside the mystic realm, under the Fog Night Abyss.

It had been nearly a month since the Yuelan Sect disciples entered the mystic realm.

Most of the elders who were stationed outside had left, leaving only Elder Yuancheng and the people who were transferred here waiting to receive them.

"A total of 19 disciples entered the mystic realm."

Elder Yuancheng was outside the mystic realm, and he thought, 'Three people have found the exit midway and gave up exploring the mystic realm. Two of them were lightly injured, and one was seriously injured.'

The seriously injured disciple that Elder Yuancheng was referring to was Xie Wenyue.

In Elder Yuancheng's opinion, Xie Wenyue was unfortunate.

She was a fifth stage void realm martial artist with extraordinary talent. She had the potential to step into the common seal realm in the future.

But never did she expect that she would encounter a huge crisis. After taking a Desperation Pill, not only did her realm fall, but her foundation was also damaged. In her current condition, it was impossible for her to return to her peak.

But fortunately, she had obtained a dao weapon which she contributed to the sect. In remuneration, the sect had given her a regenerative medicine. Even if she couldn't return to her peak, she could recover half of her strength.

'There are still sixteen disciples in the mystic realm. I wonder if half of them will survive?'

Elder Yuancheng could guess how difficult it was to survive in the mystic realm.

Since this mystic realm could supply dao weapons, it meant that this was a big mystic realm.

The bigger the mystic realm, the more dangerous it was.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Yuan Cheng suddenly felt a violent aura fluctuation.

Afterwards, disciples slowly climbed out of the pond at the entrance of the mystic realm.

Everyone who climbed out had a blank look on their faces.

"What happened?"

Elder Yuancheng quickly ran over.

He counted the number of people. There were only eight disciples who had climbed out of the pond.

After confirming the identities of these eight people, Elder Yuancheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Among the people who came out, there was Zhuo Zongyi, the personal disciple of Elder Yuancheng, as well as Xu Ning, the in-name disciple of Sect Master that he thought highly of.

"Why did you guys come out at the same time?"

Elder Yuancheng asked.

"Master."

Zhuo Zongyi took the initiative to say. "I was trapped in the maze of Shi Fengxu's inheritance, when I suddenly felt a huge tremor in the mystic realm. Immediately after that, I was ejected from the mystic realm."

"Me too."

"Me too…"

"…"

In addition to Zhuo Zongyi, the others also gave their explanation one after another.

Xu Ning said the same thing as well.

But Xu Ning was the only person who knew the truth of the mystic realm.

Just now, Xu Ning had finished receiving the alchemist's inheritance, and not long after receiving it, he was ejected.

Xu Ning knew that Gray had begun to refine the Demon Beast Scroll.

"Master, after this mystic realm ejected us, the entrance has disappeared."

Zhuo Zongyi said.

"The entrance has disappeared?"

Elder Yuancheng was shocked.

"Yes, Master."

Zhuo Zongyi quickly responded.

"How did this happen?"

Yuan Cheng was a little anxious.

This mystic realm had been regarded as private property of the Yuelan Sect. They had long been prepared to send outstanding disciples to train there.

But now, the entrance had disappeared.

"I'll go down and take a look."

Elder Yuancheng immediately jumped into the pond.

Sure enough, after diving into the pond, Elder Yuancheng discovered that not only was the entrance gone, but his perception couldn't even sense the existence of the mystic realm.

It was as if the mystic realm had never existed.

"How did this happen?"

Elder Yuancheng didn't know what to do.

He surfaced again.

Looking at the eight people in front of him, Elder Yuancheng knew very well that besides the few of them, the other disciples who had entered the mystic realm would never come back.

'It seems that they have gained something in this mystic realm.'

Although losing eight core disciples was a huge loss for the Yuelan Sect.

But looking at the eight core disciples in front of him, their strength had greatly improved compared to before. This at least gave Elder Yuancheng a sense of comfort.

These disciples who came out not only had opportunities and gains, but also had better potential. they could definitely become the pillars of the Yuelan Sect.

'Zong Yi and Xu Ning have both advanced to the void realm sixth stage, and the two of them are likely to break through to the common seal realm in the future. However, it is unfortunate that we also lost two outstanding disciples, Chen Xiaoyi and Bao Ruyuan.'

As an elder of the Yuelan Sect, Elder Yuancheng looked after these disciples not only for their personal relationship, but also for the future of the Yuelan Sect.

'The disappearance of the mystic realm is a big deal. It will definitely disrupt Sect Master's future plans, so I should return to the sect quickly.'

Elder Yuancheng looked away from these disciples and thought to himself.

"Return to the sect!"

Elder Yuancheng ordered everyone.

…

Yuelan Sect, inner sect.

The disciples who entered the mystic realm had just returned to the Yuelan Sect.

Xu Ning returned to his inner sect residence first.

Xu Ning did not go to find Le Caiwei, Gu Qinghe, and the others. He instead went straight into his house.

The reason for this was because Xu Ning wanted to digest the gains from the alchemy master's inheritance.

Xu Ning took out a stone box from his rib storage space.

The stone box opened, revealing six pure white pills.

These pills were the size of a baby's fist. It had a glowing surface, giving off a refreshing fragrance.

Xu Ning touched one of them with his finger.

…

Discovered 3000 units of energy, absorb?

Yes / No

Chapter 151: Life Pill Sutra

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"These Crystal Source Pills were refined over 300 years ago, but they are still of excellent quality and have abundant medicinal power. How rare."

Xu Ning praised, "This shows that the refining technique of this pill medicine is extremely exquisite. It can seal the medicinal properties of a pill for such a long period of time. Of course, how they were preserved for so long is also due to how the pills were stored. Speaking of this, this stone box is made of a special material that allows it to be extremely sealed. With such a tight seal, it can ensure that the medicinal properties of the pills can be preserved for a long time without leaking one bit."

After admiring the Crystal Source Pills, Xu Ning directly absorbed the six pills in the stone box.

'18,000 units of energy.'

To a certain extent, a Crystal Source Pill was an upgraded version of a Pure Source Pill.

If an ordinary martial artist consumed it, they would be able to ensure that they would get an abundance of aura, accelerating their cultivation. Of course, the final effect depended on their own cultivation level.

But if Xu Ning absorbed it, those auras were completely useless.

After absorbing the energy, Xu Ning continued to take out two crystal cubes from his rib storage space.

Xu Ning placed it on his forehead before moving it away after the crystal square emitted a glimmer of light.

In just a dozen seconds, with the help of these two crystal cubes, Xu Ning had gained a lot of new knowledge in his mind.

One of the major parts of the information he received was a pill medicine scroll. It recorded information about countless spirit medicine, countless pill medicine, and refining methods.

These were the life savings of the dao realm alchemy master who left behind his inheritance. Xu Ning had already inherited them all.

In addition to the pill scroll, there was also a secret technique for refining pills called the "Life Pill Sutra".

The Life Pill Sutra itself did not have much combat potential. After cultivating it, it would only improve one's perception and harmonize one's water and fire-based secret techniques.

The higher one cultivated this secret technique, the higher the quality of the pill.

"The deceased alchemy grandmaster senior left behind a complete alchemy practice system. The Life Pill Sutra is a void realm alchemy secret technique. And once I reach the dao realm, there is another more advanced technique waiting for me."

Xu Ning checked his Martial Arts Panel.

The Life Pill Sutra had been imprinted on the Martial Arts Panel.

'Memory crystals are better.'

Xu Ning thought to himself, 'With the help of memory crystals, I can instantly understand the Life Pill Sutra thoroughly and begin to advance it. I don't have to understand it by myself, saving myself from suffering a painful headache.'

'However, memory crystals can only be created by a dao realm master, so ordinary people can't even touch them.'

'On another note, as long as I improve on the Life Pill Sutra, I will become an alchemy master.'

Xu Ning smiled.

'I have 28,870 units of energy, and it takes 23,000 units of energy to break through to the common seal realm. The remaining energy is enough…'

'But…'

Xu Ning was cautious. 'I have only been in the sect for a short period of time. My previous rapid advancements are still within an acceptable range, but if I break through to the common seal realm now, even if I enter the mystic realm and had my share of lucky encounters, it is just too fast. I will definitely get suspicions casted on me.'

However, although he had concerns, the desire to break through to the common seal realm still lingered in Xu Ning's heart.

'I can't slow down my advancement. In a few days, I'll find an excuse to go out for a while, then take the opportunity to advance. Anyway, I'm in the sect now, there's no danger…'

Xu Ning thought to himself, 'In this case, I'll advance the Life Pill Sutra first.'

Afterwards, Xu Ning began to click on the "" sign next to the Life Pill Sutra.

…

Consume 100 units of energy to advance the Life Force Dan Sutra?

Yes / No

…

"…"

Xu Ning repeated this process six times, consuming a total of 5,500 units of energy. He raised the Life Pill Sutra to the sixth level.

Xu Ning still had 23,370 units of energy left, which was still enough for Xu Ning to break through to the common seal realm.

'Alchemy secret techniques are rare to begin with, and it is difficult to practice as the cost of practicing it is just high. It is different from cultivating martial arts secret techniques, as cultivating martial arts secret techniques only requires one's own perception and hard work. However, in the case of alchemy secret techniques, in addition to these two factors, one also needs to practice with medicinal materials, which can be very expensive.'

'Most famous alchemists required an accumulation of time and effort to get to where they are, so they are relatively old. As for me, I have reached level six in the Life Pill Sutra in just a short amount of time. This feels quite good.'

With Xu Ning's current level of the Life Pill Sutra, he was considered an extremely high level alchemist in the entire State Jifeng.

As a void realm alchemist, Xu Ning could guarantee a 100% success rate when refining ordinary pills like Pure Source Pills. Only when refining high-quality pills would Xu Ning's success rate drop to 60%. The success rate would drop even more so when refining rare pills like the Crystal Source Pills, as Xu Ning only had a 30% success rate when making them.

In other words, unless it involved a dao realm technique, Xu Ning had a chance of successfully refining various qualities of pill medicine.

'In addition to having a higher success rate, when an excellent alchemist refines a pill medicine, not only will they not waste the medicinal properties of the raw materials, but they will also increase their medicinal properties of the raw materials. The pill medicines refined this way have more energy than the raw materials they used contained—this is the ability I need.'

'In the future, I can buy the raw materials and refine Pure Source Pills myself. This way, my efficiency in terms of gathering energy will increase by at least 50%.'

After Xu Ning advanced the Life Pill Sutra, he took out a furnace from his rib storage space.

The pill furnace was about one meter wide and tall, so it was not very big.

The surface of the pill furnace was bright and clean. There were no strange decorations, making it look ordinary.

But Xu Ning knew that this was a tool used by a dao realm alchemy master when refining pill medicines. Moreover, it was also an all-attributed dao weapon.

Although it was not an actual weapon, when refining pill medicine, it could increase the probability of success. The lower the rarity of the pill, the higher the success rate and the higher quality of the pill.

When refining a good pill medicine, raw materials, refining techniques, and a pill furnace were indispensable.

Xu Ning checked the inside and outside of the furnace, then activated his qi and attribute power to figure out how to use the furnace.

Xu Ning was itching to get a taste of alchemy.

Unfortunately, Xu Ning did not have any spirit medicine with him.

'I have to get some spirit medicine later and try refining some pills.'

Afterwards, Xu Ning put away the pill furnace.

"Since I'm back in the sect, I have to see the Sect Master first. After all, he is still my master. I should go and see him."

Xu Ning packed up and went straight to the main peak.

"Senior Brother?"

As soon as Xu Ning stepped onto the main peak, he saw He Mingye waiting outside the house.

It had been three months since Xu Ning last saw He Mingye.

Back then, Xu Ning hadn't even gone out to carry out his first sect mission.

"Junior Brother."

After seeing Xu Ning, He Mingye also smiled. "Master is talking to Elder Yuancheng right now. It seems that he is talking about the mystic realm. After you guys came out, the mystic realm seemed to have just disappeared."

"I see…"

Xu Ning nodded.

"What a shame. When I returned to the sect after carrying out my mission, I heard that the sect had discovered a new mystic realm. I was quite tempted, and I wanted to go in and see if there were any inheritances I could find, but now it looks like I can't do that anymore."

Although He Mingye said this, he looked calm.

"Junior Brother Xu, you must have gained a lot from entering the mystic realm. I think you have advanced to the attribute realm, right?"

He Mingye asked again.

"I did have my share of lucky encounters in the mystic realm."

Xu Ning responded.

He Mingye nodded. "Practice well and strive to improve your strength as soon as possible."

He Mingye was not jealous of Xu Ning's rapid progress. "Although the Yuelan Sect is relatively stable in the State Jifeng, we are still facing a lot of external pressure. As the disciples of the faction get stronger, the Yuelan Sect will become more stable and prosperous."

As the two talked, Elder Yuancheng walked out.

After greeting the two, Elder Yuancheng left in a hurry.

Xu Ning and He Mingye walked into the house together.

In the house, Mi Xingye sat at the table with a look of pity on his face.

The news of the disappearance of the mystic realm disappointed Mi Xingye.

"This is the first time you two came to see me together."

When Mi Xingye saw Xu Ning and He Mingye walk in together, he looked much better.

Although the mystic realm disappeared, the two disciples under his command were both talented.

Especially factoring Xu Ning's progress, it had greatly exceeded Mi Xingye's expectations.

Because he knew that Xu Ning and He Mingye had a good relationship, Mi Xingye hoped that once He Mingye became the sect master in the future, Xu Ning would assist him.

This way, the Yuelan Sect would definitely be stable.

"Xu Ning, you must make good use of your gains in the mystic realm and strive to break through to the common seal realm as soon as possible."

Like He Mingye, Mi Xingye did not ask about the specifics of Xu Ning's gains, he just encouraged him.

Xu Ning's gains in the mystic realm were all his own personal encounters, even to his master and senior brother.

"Understood, Master."

Xu Ning responded.

After a short conversation with Xu Ning, Mi Xingye looked at He Mingye. "Mingye, why are you here?"

Xu Ning came to see Mi Xingye as a courtesy after returning to the sect, but He Mingye must have a purpose.

"Master, I came here to bid farewell."

He Mingye said, "I feel that I have reached a bottleneck, and it is difficult to further break through. Thus, I want to travel around and find an opportunity to break through."

"Okay."

After hearing this, Mi Xingye agreed without thinking.

The higher the realm, the harder it was to improve. Most of the time, one could no longer improve through hard work alone.

Mi Xingye had experienced this when he was young.

"Traveling around…"

After hearing He Mingye's words, Xu Ning's heart began to race.

He already wanted to find a reason to leave the sect and reach the common seal realm..

Chapter 152: High-Quality Pill!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

However, the excuse of traveling around was not suitable for Xu Ning.

It was obvious that he had not encountered a bottleneck like He Mingye.

If Xu Ning wanted to go out, it was better to use the excuse of carrying out a mission.

The master and disciples talked for a while longer.

Soon after, He Mingye and Xu Ning bid farewell to Mi Xingye and parted ways.

Afterwards, Xu Ning went straight to the Seven Boxers.

After returning to the Seven Boxers, Xu Ning was surprised to learn that Xiao Qiyun was back.

After thinking about Xiao Qiyun's disappearance in the Fog Night Abyss, Xu Ning realized that the void realm junior that Xu Hujun had talked about was Xiao Qiyun.

After Xu Ning and Xiao Qiyun met, Xiao Qiyun was very grateful to Xu Ning.

Prior to this, Ning Xun and Le Caiwei had told Xiao Qiyun about Xu Ning stepping forward when the Seven Boxers was facing a crisis.

After that, Ning Xun gave Xu Ning 50 Pure Source Pills; this was Ning Xun's promise to Xu Ning.

Although 50 Pure Source Pills was not a small amount for the Seven Boxers, they were still willing to give it

Although this amount of Pure Source Pills was not a large amount for Xu Ning, it was enough to help Xu Ning advance the Life Pill Sutra.

Immediately after that, Xu Ning went to the Materials Hall and exchanged them for some medicinal materials. He then specifically found an alchemy room.

There were some disciples in the Yuelan Sect who had learned to refine pills, and these alchemy rooms were prepared for them.

Currently, these rooms were vacant, so Xu Ning randomly chose one and walked in.

'I'll personally test how it feels to refine pills.'

Xu Ning was very eager to try.

Xu Ning walked into the alchemy room and closed the door behind him.

The walls and doors of an alchemy room were specially made to isolate the room from the outside world.

This was to prevent the people in the room from being affected by the outside world.

The alchemy room was decorated simply, with only a seat cushion, a small table, and a pill furnace.

The pill furnaces here were only of ordinary quality. It did not provide any substantial benefits when it came to refining pills.

Xu Ning sat on a seat cushion and took out several raw materials for the pill he was going to make.

Among them, there were ten sets of materials needed to make a Pure Source Pill and ten sets of materials needed to make a Spring Breeze Pill.

Pure Source Pills were generally used to assist in cultivation, while Spring Breeze Pills were generally used to treat injuries.

These two types of pills were ordinary pill medicine.

The reason why he refined these two types of ordinary pill was not because Xu Ning was not good enough, but because Xu Ning's contribution points were too limited.

The contribution points Xu Ning obtained from his previous mission had been previously exchanged for all Pure Source Pills.

Xu Ning took out more than a dozen Pure Source Pills from the batch of 50 he had gotten, and he exchanged them with the Seven Boxers.

There were only ten sets of materials for each of the two pills, but Xu Ning didn't mind.

This session of pill refinement was mainly for experience. If there was a need, he would buy a lot of raw materials in the future.

After placing the raw materials on the small table, Xu Ning took out the dao pill furnace he had gotten.

This furnace was several levels higher than the furnaces provided by the alchemy rooms.

"Let's refine Pure Source Pills first."

Xu Ning threw a set of materials into the furnace.

Afterwards, Xu Ning activated the pill furnace with his true qi.

There were no changes on the surface of the furnace, but strange lines started to appear on its inner walls, increasing the temperature of the furnace.

Generally speaking, a pill furnace needed to use external forces to break down the materials and condense a pill. The entire process of refining a pill required opening the pill furnace repeatedly, which was extremely cumbersome.

This was why the success rate of alchemy was relatively low.

But Xu Ning's furnace didn't work like this. As long as he injected true qi or attribute power, the environment in the furnace would automatically be adjusted to the most optimal state, and the process of refining pills would also be completed by the pill furnace.

The power of a dao pill furnace was incomparable to ordinary pill furnaces.

'The raw materials for the Pure Source Pills are already melting.'

Xu Ning could clearly feel that the raw materials in the inner walls had been melted into a puddle of liquid by the power of the furnace.

Afterwards, Xu Ning activated his water and fire attribute power and activated the Life Pill Sutra, and after balancing the two, he injected them into the furnace.

According to the refinement method in the pill scroll, Xu Ning slowly extracted the essence from the medicinal liquid and boiled the raw materials into shape.

'No wonder the water and fire attributes are the most suitable attributes for alchemy.'

Xu Ning could clearly feel that the balanced water and fire attribute power could ensure the stability of the pill formation to the greatest extent.

"Moreover, the Life Pill Sutra is indeed powerful. Not only can the Life Pill Sutra better control the power of one's attributes and help extract the pill, but it can also gather aura into the pill furnace and use it to cleanse the pill. The pill refined this way would not only be higher in quality, but also more durable."

Xu Ning could clearly feel this.

Wow!

From the raw materials entering the furnace to the formation of the pills, Xu Ning successfully refined a Pure Source Pill in less than a few seconds.

"Take out the pill."

Xu Ning activated his true qi, a Pure Source Pill jumped out of the pill furnace and landed in Xu Ning's hand.

The moment the pill touched his skin, a notification came from the Martial Arts Panel.

…

Discovered 150 units of energy, absorb?

Yes / No

…

'The Pure Source Pill I refined through the dao pill furnace has 150 units of energy?'

Xu Ning smiled. He was very satisfied with this result.

The Pure Source Pills that Xu Ning had taken before only had 100 units of energy per pill, but the pill in his hands provided 50% more energy than before.

'This is the added bonus from using an alchemy sutra and the furnace.'

Xu Ning absorbed 150 units of energy.

"In the Yuelan Sect, a Pure Source Pill can be exchanged for one and a half sets of raw materials. This is because there are many alchemists in the Yuelan Sect who have enough pills. But in the outside world, a Pure Source Pill can even be exchanged for two sets of materials."

"In this case, even in the Yuelan Sect, once I exchange my Pure Source Pills for raw materials, I can refine more myself, which can greatly increase how much energy I can absorb. Two Pure Source Pills can only obtain 200 units of energy, but if I refine them by myself, I can obtain 450 units of energy, which is more than double the initial value!"

Xu Ning had made up his mind to exchange the remaining 30 plus Pure Source Pills for 50 sets of raw materials, then refine them into higher quality pills.

After absorbing a high-quality Pure Source Pill, Xu Ning threw the remaining nine sets of materials into the furnace.

Xu Ning followed the previous steps, and in less than 20 seconds, another nine high-grade Pure Source Pills were refined.

If other alchemists saw Xu Ning's pill refinement process, they would definitely be shocked.

This was because not only was Xu Ning refining pills very quickly, but the quality of the finished product was extremely high. Even if he refined multiple pills at the same time, it did not affect his refining standards, instead it made the whole process more efficient.

Xu Ning absorbed another nine Pure Source Pills, obtaining 1350 units of energy.

This feeling of self-reliance made Xu Ning feel good.

"I'm done refining the Pure Source Pills, so let's try this Spring Breeze Pill."

When Xu Ning was injured in the mystic realm, he ingested a lot of Spring Breeze Pills, together with the Flame Breath Bone Sutra, to heal his injuries.

This time, Xu Ning threw in sets of raw materials needed to create Spring Breeze Pills into the pill and followed the instructions carefully.

After about 20 breaths of time, ten Spring Breeze Pills were refined. At this point, Xu Ning's success rate was at 100%.

There was no waste in the pill furnace.

"These Spring Breeze Pills now have stronger effects."

With Xu Ning's current alchemy level, he could tell the difference between the pills with just a sniff.

"The effect of this Spring Breeze Pill has also increased by 50%."

But this time, Xu Ning did not absorb the Spring Breeze Pill's energy.

There was not a lot of energy in a Spring Breeze Pill, making it not cost-effective to absorb. It was a practical pill, mainly used to heal injuries.

"20 sets of raw materials have been refined."

Xu Ning did not delay any longer. After cleaning up the residue in the pill furnace, he put it away.

Xu Ning left the alchemy room and went to the Materials Hall.

This time, Xu Ning exchanged all of the Pure Source Pills on his body for a total of 50 sets of raw materials.

After that, Xu Ning did not go to the alchemy room, instead he went back to his residence.

Xu Ning already knew that with his level of skill and the dao pill furnace, he would not be affected by the outside world, nor would he be discovered by others.

Therefore, 50 high-quality Pure Source Pills were refined in his place, which gained Xu Ning an additional 7,500 units of energy.

Inside the room, 7,500 units of energy had just been absorbed.

'The benefits of this alchemist's inheritance far exceed the resources I have received. With my skills, I don't have to worry about not having enough energy anymore.'

Xu Ning was relieved.

'Now that I have accumulated more than 30,000 units of energy, it is time to accept a mission and find a place to break through to the common seal realm.'

Xu Ning thought.

…

At the same time.

Yuelan Sect, Elder Gujuan's Peak.

"Fang Jie, it seems that your junior brother Bao Ruyuan has indeed died in the mystic realm."

Elder Gujuan said to his disciple Fang Jie.

Fang Jie was wearing a blue robe with a band around his forehead. He had a proud look on his face.

"What a shame."

Fang Jie said, "Although Junior Brother's aptitude is average, you spent a lot of effort to cultivate him. It is a shame that he died in the mystic realm."

However, although he said this, Fang Jie did not sound sad.

"When I accepted your junior brother as a disciple, I did it for the sake of the Bao family. I was old friends with a clan elder in the Bao family, so I accepted him as a disciple because of our relationship."

Elder Gujuan had no deep feelings for Bao Ruyuan. "However, your junior brother is dead, logically speaking, you should send a letter to the Bao family. I will prepare something for you to take to the Bao family, in order to express my apologies for not protecting your junior brother."

"Understood, Master."

Fang Jie responded.

"You will leave tomorrow."

Elder Gujuan added.

"Yes."

Fang Jie received the order..

Chapter 153: Master Bao

The next day.

Xu Ning went to the Mission Hall in the inner sect.

The Mission Hall was crowded, but when they saw Xu Ning walk in, they all retreated away.

Xu Ning was now deemed as the strongest in the inner sect, so he had a great reputation in the inner sect.

With Xu Ning's current strength, he could be promoted to a deacon, but Xu Ning felt that deacons needed to deal with too many complicated matters, so he still retained his disciple status.

Moreover, Mi Xingye had given Xu Ning a hint.

Although there had been no precedent of an in-name disciple becoming a sect elder, Xu Ning could still find a way to become a sect elder in the future.

"Senior Brother Xu, what mission do you want?"

The disciple in front of the counter asked politely.

In fact, Xu Ning hadn't been in the sect for a long time, but because of his strength and reputation, the inner disciples who were unfamiliar with Xu Ning all called Xu Ning "senior brother".

Xu Ning glanced at all the missions available and pointed to a mission plate.

"That one."

Xu Ning selected a mission involving a spirit plant called the Cold Star Thorns Fruit.

This Cold Star Thorns Fruit was extremely rare. When refining precious high-level pills, it could increase the stability of the pill refinement process and increase the success rate of refining pills.

Not everyone was like Xu Ning, who had the help of a dao pill furnace.

Many alchemists would spend a lot of effort to improve their success rate.

The mission to find this fruit was not a personal mission, but a sect mission.

That was because only sect missions can provide no time limit.

And Xu Ning chose this mission to spend more time outside.

After entering the Yuelan Sect, Xu Ning used the platform of the Yuelan Sect to obtain vast amounts of resources, and his strength kept improving with the more resources he got.

But now, there were fewer and fewer resources in the Yuelan Sect that could bring substantial benefits to Xu Ning.

The reason why he decided to go out of the sect with the excuse of going on a mission was to break through to the common seal realm, and to also see if he could find a new source of energy.

There was also another important reason.

Xu Ning wanted to return to State Feiyun.

Once Xu Ning advanced to the common seal realm, he would cross State Jifeng and return to State Feiyun.

However, before that, Xu Ning planned to go to the Bao family in the Crystal Mansion to see if he could find traces of the Wei family members.

It had been nearly a year since they were taken to State Jifeng, so Xu Ning was not sure if they were still safe.

If he could find them, Xu Ning would rescue them and find an opportunity to attack the Bao family to take his revenge.

After doing that, he would take the three of them back to State Feiyun.

"Brother Xu, your mission."

With the help of the disciple, Xu Ning accepted the mission to find a Cold Star Thorns Fruit.

The reward for this mission was 500 contribution points, which was quite a lot.

But because of the uncertainty of the mission, no one had chosen it.

After leaving the Mission Hall, Xu Ning went to the Materials Hall to exchange for some basic materials, as these things might be useful after leaving the sect.

Xu Ning left the sect with the mission to find a Cold Star Thorns Fruit.

…

Yuelan Sect territory.

Xu Ning found a desolate mountain. He then found a cave and hid in it, preparing to advance to the common seal realm.

'Now that I have left the sect to improve my strength, I don't have to worry anymore.'

Xu Ning was ready to break through.

The common seal realm was known as the watershed of the void realm.

As long as he advanced to the common seal realm, he could become an elder in State Jifeng.

Xu Ning opened the Martial Arts Panel.

'My energy reserves is at 32,370 units. Even after consuming 23,000 units to break through to the common seal realm, I still have more than 9,000 units left. This amount of energy can advance my four secret techniques from the fifth level to the sixth level.'

Xu Ning's four secret techniques were gradually unable to keep up with his realm advancement.

In this continued, if Xu Ning did not use a dao weapon against a martial artist of the same realm, even if he practiced a double secret scroll, he would still be at a disadvantage in actual combat.

After thinking about the distribution of energy, Xu Ning no longer hesitated and began to break through.

Xu Ning tapped the "" sign on the Martial Arts Panel.

…

Consume 23,000 units of energy to advance the Cold Flame Dual Source Scroll?

Yes / No

…

"Yes."

At the moment of confirmation.

The four qi currents in Xu Ning's body instantly merged into one, forming a sphere.

The center of the air current was in a liquid state. The outer surface was covered with fog, while the inside was condensed with the properties of water, fire, penetration, cutting, annihilation, and corrosion. They had become one.

A strange pattern appeared on the surface of the air current.

These strange lines were the manifestation of Xu Ning's attributes.

When Xu Ning and Chen Xiaoyi fought previously, these were the lines on the surface of Chen Xiaoyi's punch.

Not only could Xu Ning apply the nature of each attribute, but he could also integrate all of them and display terrifying power.

In the future, the more Xu Ning's secret techniques improved, the more complex the patterns would surface on the air current, and the more lethal it would be.

'Is this it?'

Compared to before, Xu Ning's temperament had become much more restrained.

The common seal realm was essentially an integration of the first six stages of the void realm.

All of the complex powers mastered by a martial artist would be condensed into one in the common seal realm.

Afterwards, Xu Ning consumed 8,000 units of energy, advancing his Water Cross Sword, Bright Fire Sword, Tidal Fist, and the Flame Breath Bone Sutra to the sixth level.

When the four secret techniques were advanced to level six, one-third of Xu Ning's qi current had turned into a liquid state.

"I now have the qualifications to establish a sect in State Jifeng."

Xu Ning felt extremely confident.

With the strength of the common seal realm as a foundation, coupled with his superb alchemy skills, Xu Ning could indeed establish a sect.

"Everything is ready, let's go to the Crystal Mansion."

Xu Ning walked out of the cave and rushed towards the Crystal Mansion.

Xu Ning wanted to save the people in the Crystal Mansion as well as take his revenge.

As for the mission of finding a Cold Star Thorns Fruit, Xu Ning was not worried.

…

Two days later.

Crystal Mansion.

This was one of the most prosperous cities under the Yuelan Sect.

The population, economy, and martial arts had all been developed vigorously.

"Crystal Mansion…"

Xu Ning arrived at the Crystal Mansion.

This was the first time Xu Ning had come here. The mine Xu Ning was in before was outside the Crystal Mansion.

After arriving at the Crystal Mansion, Xu Ning did not immediately seek trouble with the Bao family.

Although Xu Ning felt that no one in the Bao family could threaten him, if he went to the Bao family and killed that old woman and that strong man, the result would be terrible.

After all, the Bao family was the most powerful subordinate family in the Yuelan Sect, and they had a certain amount of influence even in the Yuelan Sect.

Giving the Bao family a hard time was the same as embarrassing the Yuelan Sect.

Xu Ning decided to figure out the situation of the Crystal Mansion and the Bao family first before making his arrangements.

Xu Ning first walked into a small restaurant.

The restaurant was in an alley, and there were not many customers inside.

Xu Ning found a seat, ordered some ordinary food and drinks, and enjoyed them.

Ever since he broke through to the void realm, Xu Ning had not enjoyed delicious food for a long time.

"Young Master Bao, you're here!"

After Xu Ning drank a glass of wine, he suddenly heard the shopkeeper's jubilant call.

Xu Ning looked up and saw a pale, skinny young man walking in.

"Young Master Bao?"

Xu Ning raised his eyebrows.

There was only one Bao family in the Crystal Mansion.

He looked at the person.

"Stop teasing me, what kind of young master am I?"

Young Master Bao shook his head and said, "Prepare five pounds of pancakes and half a pound of pickled vegetables for me to eat on the road."

"Okay."

Soon, the shopkeeper prepared what Young Master Bao wanted.

"Thanks."

After Young Master Bao took the food, he handed over a copper coin.

Just when he was about to leave, he looked at the packed food and turned around.

"Why is there so much meat in here?"

Young Master Bao asked.

"For you."

The shopkeeper said with a smile.

When Young Master Bao saw this, he quickly walked to the shopkeeper, took out two pieces of silver from his pocket, and stuffed them into the shopkeeper's hands.

"No, no, I said, this meat is for you."

The shopkeeper quickly refused.

Seeing that the shopkeeper was refusing him so adamantly, Young Master Bao placed the silver pieces on the table and quickly left.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper shook his head helplessly.

"Shopkeeper."

Xu Ning called the shopkeeper over.

"What can I do for you?"

The shopkeeper quickly leaned forward.

Although the small restaurant was not big, it had served many customers over the years.

This shopkeeper was a waiter in his restaurant, so he had seen many people. He knew that Xu Ning's status must be extraordinary, so he was very polite.

"Young Master Bao is a member of the Bao family who rules the Crystal Mansion?"

Xu Ning asked.

"Yes, guest."

The shopkeeper quickly responded, "This Young Master Bao is called Bao Weijing, and his grandfather is the current Head of the Bao family, the ruler of the Crystal Mansion Prefecture."

"Oh?"

Xu Ning had a strange look in his eyes. "But from what I see, Bao Weijing doesn't seem to be a member of a big family, he seems more like a poor scholar."

The shopkeeper sighed. "Although Young Master Bao is a member of the Bao family, his life is quite tragic. You are right to say that he is a down-and-out scholar."

"Can you elaborate? I'm quite interested in this Young Master Bao."

Xu Ning smiled.

"This…"

The shopkeeper seemed to be in a dilemma.

After all, he felt that it was inappropriate to talk about Young Master Bao's private matters like this.

Xu Ning had obviously noticed that the shopkeeper was hesitating. Therefore, he took out a gold ingot and threw it on the table.

The gold ingot fell on the table with a crisp sound.

"Go ahead."

Xu Ning said again.

"Speak, speak!"

After seeing the gold ingot on the table, the shopkeeper's eyes widened, his breaths became heavier..

Chapter 154: Rescue

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The shopkeeper put away the gold ingot.

"Master Bao Weijing, although he is a member of the Bao family in name, his status is quite awkward…"

After receiving the benefits, the shopkeeper told everything he knew, "His father is Bao Xinxian, the third son of the Bao Family Head. More than a decade ago, when he was young, he was a well-known playboy in the Crystal Mansion. Not only did he have a noble status, but he was also adept in martial arts. He was also handsome, which made countless girls in the Crystal Mansion swoon all over him."

"As for Young Master Bao Weijing's mother, she was the Head of Yingge Building. At that time, she was also smitten by Bao Xinxian, so she married Bao Xinxian and became his concubine."

"However, although she joined the Bao family, her life was difficult. Because of her status, she was looked down upon in the Bao family and was targeted everywhere. Bao Xinxian, on the other hand, liked the new and hated the old, and still did not change his playboy ways. Under pressure from various aspects, Young Master Bao Weijing's mother finally passed away in depression."

"At that time, Young Master Bao Weijing was less than ten years old. But because his mother passed away, his father no longer cared about him, and the other Bao family members regarded him as a stain in the Bao family. Therefore, Young Master Bao's life in the Bao family has been very difficult."

"While other young masters and young mistresses are enjoying life, Young Master Bao Weijing can only eat some simple food and drink. He lives alone in a side courtyard of the Bao family mansion, and he has no servants to take care of him."

"When he grew up and began to practice martial arts, his father Bao Xinxian gave him a month's worth of allowance, but that amount was not enough to properly cultivate martial arts. At this point, Young Master Bao could only rely on himself to earn money and support his martial arts cultivation."

"Every time Young Master Bao doesn't have enough money in his hands, he will go out of the Crystal Mansion and find some escort missions to earn money. Just now, he came to the tavern to buy pancakes, just to prepare enough rations for his trip out of the city."

The shopkeeper seemed to understand Bao Weijing's experience very well, as he explained in detail.

"Shopkeeper, are you making this up?"

After hearing the shopkeeper's words, Xu Ning said with a smile, "The Bao family of the Crystal Mansion is also a famous family in the southern part of State Jifeng, and backed by the Yuelan Sect, they have a strong background. This kind of family actually lets their offspring sell their strength just to earn some money, are you kidding me?"

The shopkeeper was afraid that Xu Ning would ask for the gold ingot to be returned, so he quickly explained, "I didn't believe it when I first found out, but this is the truth."

"Last time when Young Master Bao and his friends came to my restaurant to drink, I heard their conversation clearly."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the shopkeeper's face turned red.

It was not right for him to eavesdrop on someone's conversation and reveal their private affairs.

The shopkeeper seemed to feel guilty in his heart, so he quickly said a few good words, "However, although Young Master Bao lives a difficult life, he treats people sincerely. His friends are all from ordinary families. If his friends experience any problems, Young Master Bao will be generous and help his friends. Moreover, every time he comes to my restaurant, Young Master Bao is very humble. It was Young Master Bao who stepped forward to help when our restaurant was smashed by drunk warriors."

However, after saying this, the shopkeeper suddenly fell silent.

He took out the gold ingot he had just received.

"Sir, I spoke too much today…"

The shopkeeper had a guilty look on his face. "This is all I can say about Young Master Bao. Please take back the money…"

Xu Ning shook his head.

The shopkeeper was blinded by gold at first, but after thinking about it for a bit longer, he showed some integrity in the end.

"Keep it."

Xu Ning stood up. What the shopkeeper said was enough for him.

"Next time, don't tell anyone else."

Xu Ning left.

The shopkeeper looked at the gold ingot in a daze.

After a long time, the shopkeeper stamped his feet. "When Young Master Bao comes next time, I will definitely prepare good wine and delicacies for him!"

Xu Ning left the restaurant and did not continue to stroll around the Crystal Mansion. Instead, he started to follow Bao Weijing from a distance.

Bao Weijing didn't realize that Xu Ning was behind him.

After Bao Weijing left the city, he walked through the wilderness and entered a village.

State Jifeng was similar to State Feiyun. There were villages around the prefecture, and the villages outside the city relied on the prefecture to develop.

The stronger the foundation of the prefecture, the more prosperous the villages were.

Not long after Bao Weijing entered the village, he came out with a carriage.

There was a bulging pile of goods on the carriage, covered by cloth.

Bao Weijing drove a carriage full of goods into the mountain road. This time, he was alone and responsible for delivering some goods to the village.

Bao Weijing was in a good mood, because the goods this time were more expensive, so the employer gave more money. After delivering the goods this time, he could buy enough spirit medicine to assist his cultivation. Once he was done with this job, he wouldn't have to come out for two to three months.

However, although he was in a good mood, Bao Weijing was still cautious during the delivery process. When he chose to walk on the roads, he tried his best to choose places with a wide field of view.

Bao Weijing was in the mortal realm fifth stage: pneumatic realm. Although he was very weak in the Bao family, he was still a good warrior.

'There is a high chance of bandits appearing on the road ahead. I have to be careful.'

Bao Weijing was fully focused.

Suddenly, Bao Weijing's expression changed.

He quickly pulled the reins, in an attempt to turn around, but it was too late.

Ta! Ta! Ta!

Two groups of people suddenly rushed down from both sides of the mountain, one in front and one behind, pincering Bao Weijing.

These people were all masked, and with weapons in their hands, they pressed forward step by step.

"Trouble incoming!"

Bao Weijing was shocked. He quickly pulled out his knife and dismounted.

He didn't dare to lose this batch of goods.

If the goods were lost, not only would Bao Weijing not be able to get any money, but he would also have to compensate them for their losses.

This was something Bao Weijing could not bear.

"My friends, please give me a way out, I am willing to pay 100 taels of silver."

Bao Weijing said to the leader.

100 taels of silver was Bao Weijing's pay for this delivery.

Bao Weijing no longer thought about how much money he could make from this delivery, he just hoped that nothing would go wrong.

"Kill him."

However, the leader of the bandits ignored Bao Weijing and gave the order to kill him.

Bao Weijing was shocked.

Horse bandits usually negotiated the road payment first, so it was rare to see someone kill without hesitation.

Several figures rushed towards Bao Weijing.

Bao Weijing quickly activated his internal qi and rushed to fight.

He began to fight with this group of people.

'These people are all using the same knife technique.They are well-trained too. They don't look like horse bandits.'

During the fight, Bao Weijing gradually figured out their tactics.

Bao Weijing had a bad feeling when he thought about the leader's order to kill him.

'Could it be…'

Bao Weijing didn't dare to think too deeply, he just focused on facing the enemies ahead.

The people who attacked Bao Weijing couldn't hurt him.

Adding to the fact that Bao Weijing had practiced martial arts late, he also had no guidance and no resources.

However, his martial arts talent was very high. He had reached the mortal realm fifth stage, the pneumatic realm, and had cultivated an intermediate realm knife technique.

"Trash!"

When the leader saw that his subordinates couldn't finish the job, he personally stepped forward. "Move away!"

The leader dispelled the crowd and slashed down.

Bao Weijing quickly raised his knife to defend.

Bang!

The moment the masked leader slashed at Bao Weijing, he was sent flying, vomiting blood in the air.

'Mortal realm seventh stage, state mind realm warrior!'

Bao Weijing was full of despair.

He didn't have the strength to fight an enemy two realms above him.

"Young Master Bao, rest in peace!"

The masked leader came to Bao Weijing and waved his big knife.

If this knife landed, Bao Weijing's head would definitely be separated.

Poof!

There was the sound of flesh being cut.

However, it was not Bao Weijing whose flesh was cut, it was the masked leader.

The masked man fell to the ground.

In his place, a man wearing white clothes and a pure white mask appeared with a calm expression.

This was Xu Ning, who followed Bao Weijing all the way.

Xu Ning chose to rescue Bao Weijing.

Although Bao Weijing was a member of the Bao family, the Bao family had put a lot of pressure on his life.

Moreover, Bao Weijing's status was relatively special. He was the grandson of the current Head of the Bao family. If he was used well, he might gain something unexpected.

"I was saved by this person!"

Bao Weijing reacted instantly.

The other killers who intercepted Bao Weijing quickly fled.

However, Xu Ning did not give these people a chance. With another flash of sword light, the killers surrounding Bao Weijing were all killed.

"This is…"

When Bao Weijing saw Xu Ning standing on the spot, he was shocked.

"A void realm martial artist!"

Although he was ostracized in the Bao family, he was still knowledgeable.

He knew that Xu Ning's strength was beyond that of a mortal realm martial artist.

"Thank you for saving me, Senior!"

Bao Weijing quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to Xu Ning.

Xu Ning was wearing a mask, so Bao Weijing couldn't tell his age, but Bao Weijing still humbly called Xu Ning senior.

"The people who are trying to assassinate you don't seem to be ordinary horse bandits."

Xu Ning said.

Xu Ning noticed this when those people attacked just now.

After being told that by Xu Ning, Bao Weijing suddenly thought of something.

He walked towards the corpse of the masked leader and fumbled around.

"It's the Bao family!"

After taking out a token, Bao Weijing's expression changed..

Report chapter

Chapter 155: Xu Ning's Plan

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Bao Weijing looked at the plate that represented the identity of the Bao family guard.

'Someone in the family wants to kill me?'

'I'm already in this poor situation, so why is someone in the family still targeting me?'

Bao Weijing couldn't think of anyone who he could pose a threat to.

Xu Ning was intrigued.

"You seem to be quite tired in the Bao family?"

Xu Ning asked casually.

"Yes…"

Bao Weijing looked a little lonely.

A trace of hatred appeared in Bao Weijing's eyes.

After his mother passed away, Bao Weijing began to hate the Bao family.

After experiencing injustice and being ignored in the family, Bao Weijing had thought about leaving the Bao family more than once.

But every time he mentioned it to his father, Bao Xinxian would not allow it.

Although Bao Xinxian didn't care about this son, he also felt that if he took the initiative to leave the Bao family, outsiders would think that the Bao family was heartless.

Therefore, Bao Weijing had been growing up in this environment.

He thought he could practice martial arts well enough that he could improve his status in the family and make himself better.

Prior to this, he had such a dream.

But now that he was certain that someone from the Bao family wanted to kill him, his only hope was shattered.

"Senior, do you understand my situation?"

Bao Weijing asked Xu Ning.

He didn't know who Xu Ning was, but this person saved him, making Bao Weijing feel grateful and respectful to him.

"I understand a little."

Xu Ning responded.

Bao Weijing had a look of hesitation in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and took the initiative to ask.

"In this case, Senior, you should also know that I am struggling in the family, can you give me a chance to let me leave the family and follow you? I will not ask to be your disciple, just your servant, I will follow you everywhere!"

Bao Weijing's tone was sincere.

"No."

Xu Ning refused Bao Weijing's proposal.

The hope in Bao Weijing's eyes turned into disappointment.

However, this was not unexpected.

The other party was a void realm martial artist. With his strength, he could be a big shot in a family clan, at least a family head.

How could an existence of this level lack a small character like him as a follower?

"You hate the Bao family?"

However, Xu Ning suddenly asked.

"Yes."

Bao Weijing responded without hesitation.

He had suffered too much in the family.

"In this case, why don't you take back what you lost and return what you have suffered?"

Xu Ning's words stunned Bao Weijing, then his forehead began to sweat.

He stuttered, "I-I want to do this, but… I just can't."

"But what if I can help you?"

Bao Weijing was stunned.

"This…"

Bao Weijing did not respond immediately. He just felt confused.

"But Senior, why are you helping me?"

Bao Weijing asked cautiously.

Xu Ning didn't hide it, as he said, "I have a feud with some of your family elders."

This was the truth.

Xu Ning initially wanted to deal with the Bao family, but because of the Bao family's special status among the subordinates of the Yuelan Sect, Xu Ning couldn't do anything openly.

Even if he secretly took revenge on the two people who abducted him, he didn't know if the Bao family had any backup plans.

After all, on the surface, the family only had Bao Ruyuan in the sect.

If he took action and exposed himself, Mi Xingye might even face pressure from Elder Gujuan, and such a thing would be very bad.

Thus, it was better to use Bao Weijing's identity to infiltrate the Bao family first.

After sorting out the situation, he would deal with the two and rescue the Wei family members.

This method was the safest, and once it succeeded, the result might even be greater.

If Bao Weijing became a powerful figure in the Bao family, then Xu Ning would be in control of some mortal forces in the southern part of State Jifeng.

"Are you targeting the Bao family?"

Bao Weijing looked surprised.

However, although he was targeting his family, Bao Weijing didn't mind. After all, the family had completely broken his heart.

"Yes."

Xu Ning said, "If you want, I can help you stand firm in the Bao family."

Xu Ning was confident that with his current powers, he could easily push Bao Weijing to the peak of the mortal realm.

If he was talented enough, he could even use pills to forcibly advance him to the void realm.

Although the Bao family was a big family with many void realm warriors, most of them did not care about the affairs of the world and focused on cultivation.

At that point, Xu Ning would have his own voice in the Bao family.

"I'm willing!"

Bao Weijing no longer hesitated.

There was no time to lose. If he gave up this opportunity, he would either return to his family and wait for death, or he would have to go into exile.

Bao Weijing knew very well that this void realm martial artist wanted to use him, but so what? As long as he could benefit from this, everything was worth it.

"However, Senior…"

Bao Weijing reminded, "Behind the Bao family is the Yuelan Sect, one of the overlords of State Jifeng. The Yuelan Sect is extremely terrifying, and there are many experts inside. Bao Ruyuan, the most outstanding disciple of the Bao family, is a core disciple of the Yuelan Sect."

When Xu Ning heard Bao Ruyuan's name, a strange smile appeared on his face.

'Bao Ruyuan's death hasn't spread to the Bao family yet.'

Xu Ning thought to himself.

But on the surface, Xu Ning said calmly, "It's fine."

This confidence made Bao Ruyuan's heart burn with curiosity.

This senior was so unafraid of the Yuelan Sect, could he be a powerful martial artist above the void realm fourth stage?

"Come, let's find a place to improve your cultivation."

Xu Ning didn't wait for Bao Weijing's answer. He just grabbed Bao Weijing's collar and quickly went up the mountain.

Bao Weijing subconsciously called out the "goods", but then he stopped talking.

To him now, these goods were nothing.

Xu Ning brought Bao Weijing into a cave in the mountains.

"Here."

Xu Ning took out a Pure Source Pill.

This Pure Source Pill was a high-quality Pure Source Pill refined by Xu Ning himself.

Most of the Pure Source Pills that Xu Ning refined had been absorbed by himself, leaving only a small portion left for use.

"Pills!"

Bao Weijing's eyes lit up when he saw the pills Xu Ning gave him.

He had never taken pills before. Even in order to replenish his energy after cultivating martial arts, Bao Weijing bought cheaper spirit medicine and brewed it himself.

This was because pills were too expensive, and only the favored descendants of the family clan had enough pills to use.

'This pill is not ordinary!'

Although Bao Weijing had never taken pills before, he had seen it before.

The Pure Source Pill given by Xu Ning had a crystal clear surface and emitted a strong medicinal fragrance. It looked like an exquisite work of art, making Bao Weijing a little reluctant to eat it.

After looking at it for a while, Bao Weijing swallowed the Pure Source Pill.

The Pure Source Pill rolled down Bao Weijing's throat and into his abdominal cavity.

After the Pure Source Pill entered his abdominal cavity, Bao Weijing felt a warm and comfortable energy spread from his abdominal cavity to his limbs and bones. A sense of strength that he had never felt before instantly spread throughout his body. There was also a fragrance coming out from his mouth and nose.

Subsequently, Bao Ruyuan discovered that he had suddenly broken through the shackles of his realm. His strength, which was originally in the mortal realm fifth stage, directly rushed to the mortal realm sixth stage, internal qi realm.

Moreover, this increase in strength did not stop. Bao Ruyuan's internal qi became stronger and stronger, soon reaching the peak of the internal qi realm.

'This Bao Weijing has quite a good foundation.'

Xu Ning was quite satisfied with Bao Weijing's martial arts talent.

Pure Source Pill was not a pill used for breaking through realms. The reason why Bao Ruyuan could quickly improve his strength after swallowing one was because although he had enough of a foundation, his energy could not never be replenished, so his body had always been in a deficient state.

But after taking a high-quality Pure Source Pill, Bao Weijing's body was instantly full, so his realm had naturally advanced.

'I was so close to breaking through the state mind realm.'

Bao Weijing felt a little unfortunate.

He could sense that the medicinal effect of the pill in his body was leaking, but he couldn't completely absorb it. He could only watch as it got wasted.

However, Xu Ning gathered his qi with his fingertips and tapped Bao Weijing's chest.

Then, Bao Weijing felt the medicine that was about to disperse gather in his body before it slowly spread out and nourished his body.

Bao Weijing felt that this slowly spreading medicinal effect was extremely helpful to him, and the effect of this was many times stronger than the spirit medicine soup he had taken before.

"You have a good foundation. Continue to cultivate, and you will soon break through to the state mind realm."

Xu Ning said.

"Thank you, Senior!"

Bao Weijing knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Ning.

This was the first time Bao Weijing felt that his future was full of hope.

"No need."

As soon as Bao Weijing knelt down, Xu Ning pushed him up with his true qi.

Afterwards, Xu Ning gave Bao Weijing a wooden box containing Pure Source Pills and a large bag of powder.

"Once you are promoted to the state mind realm, you can take another pill. As for that bag, it contains some poisonous powder. Once the powder enters the body of a mortal realm warrior, it is very lethal. Even a void realm warrior will be poisoned by it. So, consider it as a life-saving treasure."

Xu Ning mixed the poisonous powder casually with some residue of the pills. He only experimented with it and left some behind, which was now very useful to him in this current situation.

Bao Weijing's family wanted to kill him, so he decided to give him some life-saving methods. If he encountered any danger, he would have a chance to survive.

"Thank you, Senior."

Bao Ruyuan didn't know what to say. He was just full of gratitude towards Xu Ning..

Chapter 156: The Person Behind The Scenes

"Go back and concentrate on your cultivation, and strive to advance to the state mind realm as soon as possible."

Once Xu Ning saw that the preparations were done, he did not say anything else.

"Senior, I still don't know how to address you."

Bao Weijing asked.

Xu Ning paused. "My surname is Tao."

Xu Ning concealed his surname.

"Senior Tao, when I return to the family clan, how should I find you?"

Bao Weijing asked again. He was afraid that once he returned to the family clan, he would lose contact with Xu Ning.

"Which restaurant is the best in the Crystal Mansion?"

Xu Ning asked.

"It's the Drunken Spring Pavilion."

Bao Weijing responded.

"You can find me there."

Xu Ning said.

"Understood, Senior."

Bao Weijing bid farewell respectfully.

Afterwards, Xu Ning left.

'Whether I can make a comeback depends on this.'

Bao Weijing had a firm expression on his face.

…

Bao Weijing returned to the Bao family mansion.

Clueless, he didn't know that Xu Ning had been following him all the way back.

"I hope this Bao Weijing can do well."

Xu Ning stood at the entrance of the Bao family mansion and looked from afar.

Afterwards, Xu Ning tried to sense the strength and number of void realm martial artists in the Bao family mansion.

However, Xu Ning suddenly felt a strong aura.

"Void realm eighth stage?"

Xu Ning frowned.

Xu Ning had sensed the aura of a void realm eighth stage martial artist in the Bao family mansion.

Xu Ning's expression suddenly changed slightly. He instantly restrained his aura and disappeared outside the Bao family mansion.

In two to three seconds, a young man in a blue robe suddenly appeared on the roof of the Bao family mansion, looking down at the place where Xu Ning had just disappeared.

"Someone was spying on the Bao family just now."

This person was Bao Ruyuan's senior brother, Fang Jie, and he came to the Bao family mansion to deliver the news of Bao Ruyuan's passing.

Fang Jie had come to the Bao family mansion a few days ago and told the Bao family about Bao Ruyuan's death in the mystic realm.

At this news, the Bao family felt heartache for losing a talented descendant of theirs. The death of Bao Ruyuan meant that the Bao family's future plans had suffered a setback.

However, although Fang Jie brought bad news to the Bao family, the Bao family still treated Fang Jie with respect.

Fang Jie was a void realm eighth stage martial artist, the second core disciple of the Yuelan Sect. He would definitely become an elder of the Yuelan Sect in the future.

In order to build a relationship with Fang Jie, the Bao family spent a lot of effort over the past few days to make Fang Jie agree to stay in the Bao family mansion for a while.

"Martial Nephew Fang, what happened?"

Soon, another figure appeared behind Fang Jie.

The one who asked that question was an old woman. Her hair and beard were white, and her face was winkly, making her look quite aged, but she still treated Fang Jie cautiously.

If Xu Ning was here, he would definitely recognize that this old woman was the one who kidnapped him to State Jifeng.

The old woman's name was Bao Qiuhua, and she was the strongest warrior of the Bao family. She was also the person with the most authority in the Bao family. Although she was a just clan elder, she held more power than the Head of the Bao family.

However, she only focused on her own cultivation. She did not involve herself in the Bao family's affairs.

Bao Qiuhua was an old friend of Elder Gujuan.

When Bao Qiuhua was still an inner disciple of the Yuelan Sect, she had a relationship with Gu Juan.

And because of Bao Qiuhua, Elder Gujuan accepted Bao Ruyuan as his disciple.

"Someone was spying on the Bao family mansion just now."

Fang Jie said. He was still sensing whether the aura of that person was still there.

"Someone is spying on us?"

Bao Qiuhua looked surprised.

She was a void realm sixth stage martial artist, which was already quite impressive.

But just now, someone was spying on the Bao family mansion, but she didn't sense it at all, which shocked Bao Qiuhua.

"Yes, that person is a void realm seventh stage martial artist. After sensing my aura, he immediately took the initiative to leave."

Fang Jie said, "I just don't know if he has a feud with your Bao family, or is he just passing by and checking on your family."

"This…"

Bao Qiuhua frowned. "Although some disappointing descendants in the family had caused trouble outside and made some enemies, no one dares to come to the Crystal Mansion to cause trouble. Maybe a powerhouse just passed by and casually checked."

"Maybe…"

Fang Jie nodded. He felt that there was no need to make a fuss.

There were many potential experts in State Jifeng, so it was reasonable for them to pass by here.

"Come, Disciple-Nephew Fang, I will take you to see the younger generation of my family." Bao Qiuhua's tone had a hint of flattery. "Please tell me who is worthy of being groomed."

"Okay."

Fang Jie did not refuse.

After looking at the place where Xu Ning disappeared, Fang Jie and Bao Qiuhua disappeared from the roof.

Several streets away, Xu Ning, who had completely restrained his aura, looked in the direction of the Bao family mansion with a look of fear in his eyes.

"It seems that my previous caution was correct."

Although Xu Ning had tried to overestimate the might of the Bao family, Xu Ning didn't expect that there would be a void realm eighth stage martial artist in the Bao family; this had greatly exceeded his expectations.

At this moment, Xu Ning still didn't know that this person was Fang Jie.

'If I sneak into the Bao family and make a move, I will definitely be discovered by this person. Even if I use a dao weapon, I will definitely expose my identity.'

Thinking up to this point, Xu Ning felt a little lucky.

'It seems that it will take some time to rescue the Wei family members.'

Xu Ning thought to himself.

But he was not in a hurry. He could take his time.

After that, Xu Ning disappeared from the street corner.

He then went to the Drunken Spring Pavilion that Bao Weijing mentioned before. He was going to make this place his temporary residence.

In any case, if Bao Weijing had any troubles in the future, it would be convenient for him to come and find him.

…

After Bao Weijing returned to the Bao family mansion, he quickly returned to his small courtyard.

If it weren't for the surging strength in his body, Bao Weijing would have thought that today's experience was a dream.

'I have to reach the state mind realm within half a month, only then can I show off to the family!'

Bao Weijing's eyes were firm.

Half a month later, the family clan would hold a sparring session between the young generation of the family.

This kind of sparring session was held every three months, and every time the Family Head would come and spectate it.

Although Bao Weijing was talented, he lacked resources and guidance, causing him to be unable to compete with the younger generation of the family.

About this, Bao Weijing had always been embarrassed.

Forget about being noticed by the Family Head and other high-ranking family members, it would be good if he were just ignored.

'However, while improving my strength, I have to be careful.'

Bao Weijing was nervous. The assassination just now gave him a strong sense of crisis.

'Who would want to attack me?'

A few people appeared in Bao Weijing's mind.

The people in his mind had deliberately suppressed him in the past.

"No matter who it is." Bao Weijing made up his mind,."Since we are in the family, no one is allowed to kill each other. If a descendant of the family is found out to be dead, it will be investigated. And once the investigation is done, the murderer will definitely be exposed."

"The one who planned to kill me should also know this, so they attacked me outside of the family territory."

Bao Weijing thought, 'It seems that although the current situation is dangerous, it has declined to the worst situation yet.'

'Plus, I still have the bag of poison powder to protect myself, so I don't have to worry too much.'

After Bao Weijing thought about it, he stopped wasting time and began to cultivate in his small courtyard.

He wanted to quickly absorb the residual effects of the Pure Source Pill in his body and quickly advance his realm.

…

Inside a villa in the Bao Mansion.

"Madam, something happened."

A person who looked like a butler walked into the house and said to a cold-looking woman.

"What is it?"

The cold woman's expression did not change as she drank a mouthful of tea.

"The assassination attempt on Bao Weijing failed, and all of the guards were killed."

The butler sounded anxious.

"What?"

The woman's hand trembled and the water in the teacup splashed onto her sleeves.

"Bao Weijing has such strength?"

The cold woman put down the teacup, her expression ugly.

"He shouldn't have such strength, but there may be strong warriors protecting him."

The butler said.

"You mean, Bao Weijing has helpers?"

The cold woman showed a worried expression. At the same time, after Bao Weijing's name was mentioned, her eyes were full of hatred.

This cold woman was Bao Xinxian's wife.

The reason why Madam Quan hated Bao Weijing was because of Bao Weijing's mother.

Not long after Madam Quan married Bao Xinxian, Bao Xinxian was captivated by Bao Weijing's mother and married her as a concubine.

At this point, Mrs. Quan was jealous, but she didn't dare to show it.

However, after she lost Bao Xinxian's favor, Madam Quan began to target her secretly. She joined forces with many people in the Bao family to suppress and ostracize Bao Weijing's mother, causing her to suffer from depression.

In the final stages of her life, Madam Quan also secretly persuaded the servants in the mansion to stop her medicine, which accelerated her death.

After so many years, Madam Quan hid the fact that she had secretly stopped the medicine delivery, but even then, she still disliked Bao Weijing.

But because of Bao Xinxian, Madam Quan never dared to kill Bao Weijing.

But recently, a core disciple named Fang Jie from the Yuelan Sect came to the residence.

Apparently, the clan elder Bao Qiuhua used various methods to win over Fang Jie.

As such, Fang Jie had agreed that anyone of the younger generation in the Bao family could enter the Yuelan Sect as an outer disciple.

Generally speaking, those from the Bao family who had good talent and no future in the family would definitely be willing to enter the Yuelan Sect.

In Madam Quan's opinion, Bao Weijing would definitely make this choice.

Madam Quan was worried about this.

This was because she knew that Bao Weijing was quite talented, but was limited by resources.

If he entered the Yuelan Sect, he would receive the resources he needed, which would allow him to show his talents. And once he discovered what she did to his mother, he would definitely take revenge.

Therefore, Madam Quan secretly sent people to kill Bao Weijing while he was out.

It was to eliminate hidden dangers.

However, her plan had failed this time..

"There is a high probability that he has helpers, and that they are not weak."

The butler responded, "I just don't know how Bao Weijing got the help of such strong people."

This butler was Madam Quan's confidant. He was responsible for many things.

"Yeah…"

Madam Quan also frowned. "Other than practicing martial arts in the mansion every day, he would only occasionally go out to earn some money. He shouldn't have come into contact with any powerful warriors."

The two were silent, and the room was silent.

After a long time, Madam Quan asked, "How strong are Bao Weijing's helpers?"

"Probably the intention realm or the spirit realm. After all, the strongest person we sent out is the state mind realm."

The butler thought about it and responded.

Mortal realm eighth or ninth stage, this was his limit.

As for someone in the void realm, he didn't even think about it.

In his opinion, if Bao Weijing had someone in the void realm as a helper, he would not be in this situation.

"Um…"

Madam Quan pondered for a moment. "In this case, there is no need to be afraid, as long as the helpers are not in the void realm."

"However, in the next few days, this kid should be alert. He probably won't go out soon. It's not convenient for us to kill him in this mansion."

Madam Quan continued, "In this case, send someone to keep an eye on this kid and report his movements in the mansion at any time. If he wants to leave the mansion, arrange it again and send someone stronger to get rid of him."

"Understood, Madam."

The butler responded. He was also very sad.

He also knew very well that if Bao Weijing really went to the Yuelan Sect, it was highly likely that they would be in a lot of trouble.

…

Half a month went by.

Xu Ning spent the rest of his time relaxing in the Drunken Spring Pavilion.

Xu Ning hadn't felt this comfortable in a long time.

Because of various events, Xu Ning had to keep moving forward and deal with whatever was happening.

It had been a long time since he enjoyed such a casual life.

Inside the Drunken Spring Pavilion.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Pills kept popping out of the furnace and were stored away by Xu Ning.

Xu Ning's latest pills were all ordinary pills, which were mainly used by mortal realm warriors.

Xu Ning had casually refined many such pills, enough for Bao Weijing to quickly reach the peak of the mortal realm.

'It's been half a month, but Bao Weijing hasn't come to find me. It seems like his cultivation is going well.'

Xu Ning thought to himself, 'Once Bao Weijing's status in the Bao family improves, he will come into contact with more high-level information, and then he will be able to find out about the Bao family's trump cards. Once that is done, it will be time for me to take action.'

While Xu Ning was thinking, in a small courtyard in the Bao family mansion, Bao Weijing was in his room, practicing his internal skill.

Suddenly, Bao Weijing opened his eyes, his temperament changed instantly.

Currently, he was full of energy.

'After half a month of hard work, I finally reached the state mind realm!'

Bao Weijing couldn't help but smile.

He jumped off the bed and released a punch.

'This feeling is amazing!'

Over the past half a month, Bao Weijing worked hard day and night. He did not relax for a single moment, forcing himself to improve quickly.

In just a few days, Bao Weijing completely absorbed the remaining energy of the Pure Source Pill in his body.

Afterwards, Bao Weijing swallowed the other Pure Source Pill that Xu Ning gave him.

As his strength improved, Bao Weijing's absorption of Pure Source Pills was more efficient. The effects of the pills further strengthened Bao Weijing's physical strength, and helped him break through to the state mind realm in less than ten days.

Among the younger generation of the Bao family, although the state mind realm was not something to boast about, it was outstanding enough.

"It's all thanks to Senior Tao. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have made such progress."

Bao Weijing thought to himself, 'It's just that after advancing to the state mind realm, my progress speed should gradually slow down. The recent rapid progress is actually due to the sudden flood of resources I got. Now that I have completely digested my previous accumulations, it may take more time for me to advance to the intention realm.'

"However…"

Bao Weijing pushed open the door and breathed in the fresh air in the small courtyard. "It is time for the younger generation to spar. Tomorrow, in the audience of the Family Head and the other family elders, I must perform well and be favored by them."

"Only in this way can I work for Senior Tao and make everyone who bullied me pay the price."

In the past, Bao Weijing only planned to wait patiently until he had the strength to leave the family.

But now, with Xu Ning's help, Bao Weijing's mindset became more and more aggressive.

After encouraging himself, Bao Weijing picked up his machete and practiced his knife technique.

Over the past ten days, he had been practicing his internal skill, so his external skills were now a little rusty.

'I have to be brilliant tomorrow!'

Bao Weijing's knife movements were extremely sharp.

…

The next day.

Bao Family Martial Arts Hall.

On the martial arts field, young people were fighting each other, making it a lively scene.

The senior members of the Bao family were sitting on the stands.

In addition to the Family Head Bao Shihui, Bao Qiuhua also attended this event with Fang Jie.

Bao Qiuhua rarely appeared on such occasions, but in order to let Fang Jie see the younger generation of the Bao family, she specifically came to accompany them.

In front of this crowd, Bao Weijing was eager to show his talents.

'Not only is the Family Head watching the spars today, but all the clan elders are here. In addition, it is said that there is also a big shot from the Yuelan Sect, the core disciple Fang Jie, watching the battle.'

Bao Weijing looked at the battle stage and thought.

"Bao Weijing, Bao Weiyi, it's your turn!"

A family elder shouted.

"It's finally my turn!"

Bao Weijing went on stage.

"Bao Weijing, you are only in the pneumatic realm, but I am already at the peak of the internal qi realm. I can break through to the state mind realm at any time. I am just too strong. There is no need for us to compete, you can just step down!"

Bao Weiyi was tall and strong. His aura was very aggressive.

Bao Weiyi was also the grandson of the Family Head, Bao Shihui. His father was Bao Xinxian's brother, and his mother was also his wife. With such a background, he enjoyed a lot of resources.

If this was in the past, Bao Weijing might have chosen to retreat.

But now, Bao Weijing only wanted to hit him in the face.

"Enough nonsense, let's do this."

Bao Weijing was full of fighting spirit.

"You're quite courageous." Bao Weiyi smiled, "In this case, I won't use a weapon, I'll fight you with my bare hands."

"Me too."

Bao Weijing was also facing the enemy with bare hands.

"Bao Weijing, you are so arrogant!"

Bao Weiyi sneered and punched Bao Weijing.

Bao Weijing was not afraid and retaliated.

Their fists collided.

Immediately after, Bao Weiyi bounced off Bao Weijing's force and spiral force, his entire body flew off the stage.

Bao Weijing defeated Bao Weiyi with one strike.

"How is Bao Weijing so strong?"

"That is the strength of a state mind realm warrior!"

"…"

The audience began to discuss.

This was the first time Bao Weijing enjoyed the shock and praise of others.

"Thank you."

Bao Weijing was overjoyed and left the stage.

On the stands in the distance.

"Who is that kid? Why don't I remember him?"

The person who spoke was the Family Head Bao Shihui.

Although Bao Weijing was his grandson, Bao Shihui couldn't remember him.

Because he had a lot of wives and concubines, his sons also had a lot of wives and concubines. And he would not remember those descendants who were not outstanding.

"H-he is my son Bao Weijing…"

A handsome middle-aged man said in surprise.

This person was Bao Weijing's father, Bao Xinxian.

Because they were going to accompany Fang Jie today, those with some status in the family came to watch the younger generation fight.

Bao Xinxian was extremely surprised. He hadn't cared about this son of his for a long time.

In his impression, Bao Weijing was not strong, but now he was obviously in the state mind realm.

"Your son…"

Bao Shihui glanced at Bao Xinxian.

Bao Shihui felt a little helpless.

He liked this son very much. This was because this son of his was not just talented, but extremely talented in martial arts.

It was just that he was too dissolute when he was young, so he was stuck at the mortal realm ninth stage, unable to break through.

"Bao Weijing…"

Bao Shihui suddenly remembered. "It's you and that brothel girl's child…"

Bao Xinxian was a little embarrassed.

"That kid is not bad. He is decisive and aggressive."

Fang Jie took the initiative to evaluate Bao Weijing.

When Bao Qiuhua saw this, she quickly said to someone next to her, "Shihui, Xinxuan, Bao Weijing needs to be groomed. In a few days, you will bring a group of outstanding disciples into the mountains to train, count him in."

Bao Shihui and the others quickly responded.

"Understood, Granny. I will go with him into the mountains to hunt demon beasts."

The middle-aged man named Bao Xinxuan responded.

This person was the middle-aged man who had kidnapped Xu Ning with Bao Qiuhua.

'It seems that I have to pay more attention to Weijing.'

After seeing that the senior members of the family wanted to train Bao Weijing, Bao Xinxian began to think.

At this moment, Bao Weijing still didn't know that he was being watched by the family elders.

He then fought a few more opponents. Except for one intention realm junior, he performed extremely well.

The sparring session between the younger generation of the family was over.

"Weijing, come here!"

After the crowd dispersed, Bao Weijing discovered that his father Bao Xinxian was waiting for him with a smile on his face.

Bao Weijing felt warm at first, but then he realized what was going on and felt uncomfortable.

He knew very well that his performance should have been noticed by the higher-ups of the family, which was why his father's attitude had changed.

'Forget it… As long as I can be favored by the higher-ups of the family, I will be of some use to Senior Tao…'

Bao Weijing was extremely sober at this moment..

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Weijing, you did well today!"

Just as Bao Weijing expected, Bao Xinxian praised his performance.

"Thank you, Father."

If this was in the past, Bao Weijing would definitely be excited.

But right now, Bao Weijing was calm.

He knew very well that his progress was all due to Xu Ning.

Bao Xinxian knew why Bao Weijing was not enthusiastic about him as well.

After all, he didn't pay much attention to Bao Weijing until now.

"Weijing, your performance today was outstanding. Even Master Fang Jie of the Yuelan Sect praised you. Thus, the elders of the family are preparing to train you. In a few days, the family will organize a hunt with the excellent younger generation of the family to enter the mountains to hunt demon beasts. You are included in that group."

Bao Xinxian smiled and said, "This operation will be led by Elder Bao Xinxuan, so you have to prepare well."

Bao Xinxian and Bao Xinxuan were of the same generation, but Bao Xinxuan was talented and had long reached the void realm, so he was promoted by Bao Qiuhua to be the youngest clan elder in the Bao family.

"Yes, Father."

Bao Weijing responded calmly.

Seeing that Bao Weijing was acting quite cold towards him, Bao Xinxian squeezed out a smile again. "If you need anything in the future, remember to ask me."

"Understood."

Noticing the cold attitude, Bao Xinxian felt uncomfortable.

'It seems that I can only slowly repair our relationship.'

Bao Xinxian thought to himself.

After chatting for a while, Bao Xinxian took the initiative to leave.

'Sure enough, the family has begun to value me.'

Bao Weijing smiled. "I have to tell Senior Tao about this…"

Afterwards, Bao Weijing left the Bao family compound and prepared to go to the Drunken Spring Pavilion.

"Huh?"

As soon as he left, Bao Weijing suddenly noticed that someone was following him.

Now that he had advanced to the state mind realm, his perception was much stronger than before.

'The person who tried to kill me previously must be monitoring my movements.'

Bao Weijing weighed the pros and cons, and decided he did not want to alert the enemy yet.

Bao Weijing relied on his nimble movements to get rid of the people monitoring him before finally arriving at the Drunken Spring Pavilion.

Bao Weijing had asked Xu Ning where he lived.

After reporting the words "Senior Tao", Bao Weijing was led to Xu Ning's room, obviously Xu Ning had informed the receptionist in advance.

"Greetings, Senior Tao!"

After Bao Weijing saw Xu Ning, he bowed respectfully.

"You have improved a lot, even advancing to the state mind realm."

Xu Ning looked at Bao Weijing with a satisfied expression.

Seeing this, Bao Weijing was relieved.

Compared to Bao Xinxian's praise, Xu Ning's praise made Bao Weijing more excited.

"Senior Tao, I advanced to the state mind realm thanks to your pills."

Bao Weijing said, "Today, the younger generation of the family sparred against each other. I performed well after my advancement, and was noticed by the higher-ups of the family. They not only let me participate in the combat training of the demon beasts, but I was also praised by Fang Jie of the Yuelan Sect."

"Fang Jie from the Yuelan Sect?"

Xu Ning looked surprised.

"Yes, Senior Tao."

Bao Weijing quickly explained: "Fang Jie has been here for a while, and the elders of the family value him a lot. Today, he is watching the spars between the younger generation, and the senior members of the family have been accompanying him."

"I see…"

Xu Ning nodded thoughtfully.

Xu Ning had realized that the void realm eighth stage martial artist he sensed in the Bao family mansion was Fang Jie.

'I knew it. How could a subordinate family clan of the Yuelan Sect have such an expert, so it turns out that Fang Jie is here.'

Xu Ning knew about Fang Jie.

Fang Jie and He Mingye were both void realm eighth stage martial artists, but He Mingye's secret technique realm was higher, which was why he was stronger than Fang Jie.

'Fang Jie must have come here for Bao Ruyuan.'

Xu Ning quickly guessed the truth.

After seeing Xu Ning's thoughtful look, Bao Weijing stopped talking.

"If you are going to hunt demon beasts, you should be led by the elders in the clan, right?"

Xu Ning thought for a while, then asked another question.

"It will be led by Clan Elder Bao Xinxuan, a void realm martial artist."

Bao Weijing told him everything he knew.

"Is that so…"

Xu Ning nodded. "When will you be leaving?"

"I'm not sure for now…"

Bao Weijing frowned and responded.

"When you figure out the date of your departure, tell me, and I will follow you secretly."

Xu Ning said.

Xu Ning had always wanted to enter the Bao family mansion, but because of Fang Jie, he did not succeed.

Now that an elder was coming out, Xu Ning felt that he could seize this opportunity.

"Understood, Senior Tao."

Bao Weijing quickly responded.

He didn't ask much, but he knew that Xu Ning must have a plan to deal with his family.

However, Bao Weijing didn't care about this. He just wanted to become stronger. He wanted to return what he had suffered.

"By the way, did you encounter any danger in the mansion recently?"

Xu Ning asked again.

"No."

Bao Weijing said, "But when I left the mansion today, someone followed me, but I shook them off."

"Protect yourself. If anything goes wrong, you can come to me for help at any time."

Xu Ning took out a few porcelain bottles.

These porcelain bottles contained the pills that Xu Ning had prepared for Bao Weijing over the past few days.

"These are the pills that I have prepared for you. After taking them, they can help you speed up your practice and advance to the spirit realm as soon as possible."

Xu Ning's words made Bao Weijing's heart pound.

The spirit realm was the mortal realm ninth stage!

If he advanced to the mortal realm ninth stage, even in a big family like the Bao family, he would have the qualifications to compete for the family head position.

"Thank you, Senior Tao!"

Bao Weijing took the porcelain bottles with trembling hands.

'This Senior Tao is definitely not an ordinary void realm martial artist!'

Bao Weijing realized that he had underestimated Senior Tao.

His family also had void realm martial artists. Although Bao Weijing didn't know much about them, he knew that no one in the Bao family could act like Senior Tao.

"I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Bao Weijing clenched the porcelain bottles.

…

At this time.

Bao family.

Madam Quan was overwhelmed.

That was because her butler had brought her bad news just now.

Bao Weijing, whom she wanted to get rid of, had advanced to the state mind realm, and because of his outstanding performance, he was praised by the family elders, allowing him to follow the elite disciples into the mountains to train. This made Madam Quan very worried.

She was almost certain that Bao Weijing would follow Fang Jie into the Yuelan Sect and take his revenge on her.

"Madam, what should we do?"

The butler was a little anxious.

Mrs Quan did not respond, her expression uncertain.

After a long time, Madam Quan gritted her teeth. "Take out the ten Pure Source Pills I have kept."

"Huh?"

The butler was taken aback.

These ten Pure Source Pills were from Madam Quan's family; they were her most precious possession.

Even her husband Bao Xinxian didn't know about the existence of these ten Pure Source Pills.

This was Madam Quan's most precious trump card.

"Isn't the mountain training in a few days led by Elder Bao Xinxuan?"

A trace of ruthlessness appeared on Madam Quan's face. "Give these ten Pure Source Pills to him and have him help us get rid of Bao Weijing."

Bao Xinxuan was arrogant and ruthless. He had caused a lot of trouble before reaching the void realm.

Back then, Mrs. Quan had helped him before, so she had some ties with him.

Afterwards, she had also asked Bao Xinxuan for some help in the dark. Thus, both sides knew about each other's dirty secrets.

"Madam, this…"

The butler was a little hesitant. "The price of ten Pure Source Pills just to get rid of a mortal realm junior, is it worth it?"

"Maybe it's not worth it, but Bao Weijing has been growing too fast recently. I'm afraid we won't be able to stop him. Even if he doesn't realize what we did to his mother, we will always be in his shadow."

Madam Quan was firm.

"Understood, Madam."

The butler quickly took action.

A few days went by.

A group of people left the city.

The leader was Bao Xinxuan, along with several mortal realm ninth stage guards.

The rest were all elite disciples of the Bao family. There were more than a dozen of them, including Bao Weijing.

Today, they would enter the mountains to hunt demon beasts and temper themselves.

While the other disciples were nervous, Bao Weijing was calm.

It was because he knew very well that today, Senior Tao would secretly accompany him.

"Mrs. Quan is so generous…"

Bao Xinxuan, who was riding on a tall horse with a demon beast bloodline, glanced at Bao Weijing.

"In order to deal with a mortal realm junior, she is willing to pay the price of ten Pure Source Pills, tsk tsk…"

Bao Xinxuan showed a strange smile.

Prior to this, the butler found Bao Xinxuan and explained Mrs. Quan's intentions.

Although Bao Xinxuan was surprised, he accepted the job.

Killing a mortal realm junior was worth ten Pure Source Pills.

Although Bao Weijing was a descendant of the same family, Bao Xinxuan did not have any psychological barriers.

He was ruthless in his work. There was no good or evil in his heart. He roamed the world in his early years and made enemies everywhere. If it weren't for the Bao family, he would have been killed a hundred times.

'After I enter the mountain, I will deliberately make arrangements, and then secretly deal with him. After killing him, I'll create a scene of a demon beast attack. This way, not only will I get the Pure Source Pills, but I also won't be suspected.'

Bao Xinxuan already had a plan in mind.

The whole entourage was still flying.

However, Bao Xinxuan didn't know that someone was secretly following him.

"What a coincidence…"

Xu Ning smiled after seeing Bao Xinxuan.

Xu Ning recognized that this was the strong man who knocked him out and kidnapped him to State Jifeng..

Report chapter

Chapter 159: The Whereabouts of the Wei Family

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

A continuous mountain range.

Bao Xinxuan entered with a group of guards and descendants.

There were dense forests in the mountains, and terrifying beast roars could be heard from time to time.

Most of these young juniors were facing this kind of environment for the first time, so they all seemed a little nervous.

"The trial is about to begin…"

After walking into the mountains, Bao Xinxuan pulled the reins. "From now on, everyone will disperse. You can freely form a team of less than three people, or you can act independently. But whether you form a team or are alone, you have to hunt demon beasts above the middle level mortal realm."

"Huh?"

After hearing Bao Xinxuan's words, most of the younger generation panicked.

Most of them had only been quietly cultivating in the family clan, so hunting demon beasts on their own put huge psychological pressure on them.

Seeing how reluctant the younger generation was, Bao Xinxuan snorted.

"You people have been living under the protection of your family, you don't know the dangers of the martial arts world at all. Only by participating in actual combat and tempering your character, can you use your martial arts knowledge and become a true powerhouse."

Bao Xinxuan said, "Of course, you don't have to worry too much. After all, you are outstanding disciples of the family, we won't let you die."

"The demon beasts in this mountain range are not very strong. As long as you deal with them appropriately, your lives will not be in danger. In addition, before leaving, didn't each of you bring a firework torch? After lighting your firework torch, you can quickly send out a distress signal. Even if you encounter a dangerous situation, the other guards and I will immediately find you."

"However…"

Bao Xinxuan paused for a moment. "You must be careful, because if you are ambushed by a demon beast, you won't be able to react at all."

Bao Xinxuan glanced at Bao Weijing.

"Okay, let's split up and go."

Bao Xinxuan ordered.

Groups of young people began to gather together.

"Looking for a team…"

Bao Weijing discovered that no one came to find him.

However, this was within Bao Weijing's expectations.

Because of his low status in the family, Bao Weijing had no connections with these outstanding disciples.

"Forget it, I can act alone."

Bao Weijing thought, 'Plus, Senior Tao is near me. He could protect me.'

Afterwards, Bao Weijing entered the mountains alone.

Seeing this, a smile appeared in Bao Xinxuan's eyes.

'If he's alone, it will be more convenient for me to take action.'

Bao Weijing dismounted and stalked Bao Weijing.

In the mountains.

Because the terrain ahead was too steep, Bao Weijing had already dismounted from his horse.

He held a long knife and walked cautiously along the mountain road.

'It's not difficult to hunt a middle level demon beast.'

Bao Weijing was getting more confident.

He was already in the mortal realm seventh stage, and with his strength, he could even deal with some weaker high level demon beasts.

"There's movement!"

Suddenly, Bao Weijing heard a sound.

A giant bear demon beast suddenly emerged from the dense forest and stared at him.

"This is…"

Bao Weijing felt a terrifying aura from the giant bear demon beast.

'It's a high level demon beast!'

Bao Weijing immediately guessed.

The giant bear demon beast immediately dashed towards Bao Weijing.

Bao Weijing was a little nervous, but at the same time, his blood was boiling.

'Maybe I can fight it!'

Bao Weijing did not retreat, instead he walked forward with a knife.

While dodging, he slashed the giant bear demon beast with his long knife.

For a moment, the man and the beast were fighting each other.

Bao Weijing didn't know that Bao Xinxuan was secretly observing him.

'Not bad, if this kid grows up in the future, he might be able to break through to the void realm. No wonder Madam Quan is so worried.'

"No need to delay, just get rid of him."

Bao Weijing stretched out his finger and wrapped it with true qi.

Whoosh!

A stream of true qi shot out.

Bao Weijing was fighting the giant bear demon beast.

At that moment, the giant bear demon beast reached out its giant claws, attempting to slap Bao Weijing's head.

Noticing this, Bao Weijing quickly dodged.

If he was hit, Bao Weijing would die on the spot.

However, at the critical moment when he was about to dodge the giant claws, Bao Weijing suddenly felt his body going numb, rendering him motionless.

"What's going on?!"

Bao Weijing panicked.

Bao Weijing was powerless to dodge the giant claw.

Bao Xinxuan, the instigator, could already imagine the scene of Bao Weijing being smashed.

The scene of Bao Weijing being killed by a demon beast was easy for Bao Xinxuan to imagine.

However, at the critical moment, the giant bear demon beast suddenly stopped moving before falling to the ground without making a sound.

A huge wound appeared on its back.

A figure wearing a white shirt and a mask landed on a nearby rock.

"Senior Tao!"

Bao Weijing's body could move again.

"Senior Tao saved me!"

Bao Weijing felt relieved, his heart trembled.

If Xu Ning hadn't appeared, he would have died here.

"Senior Tao…"

Bao Weijing quickly walked forward, but Xu Ning ignored him.

"As a void realm second stage true qi realm martial artist, you are plotting against a mortal realm junior. This is quite embarrassing!"

Xu Ning's tone was full of mockery.

"What?"

Bao Weijing's heart skipped a beat.

"Senior Tao, are you saying that someone is secretly targeting me?"

Bao Weijing followed Xu Ning's gaze.

Bao Xinxuan slowly walked out and looked at Xu Ning in surprise.

Not only was Xu Ning able to resolve his attack, but he also discovered him.

'Elder Bao Xinxuan? My body suddenly went numb just now, did he do that?'

Bao Weijing never expected that the family elders in his family would want to kill him.

"Who are you?"

Although Bao Weijing noticed him, Bao Xinxuan didn't mind at all.

The mysterious masked man made Bao Xinxuan feel uncomfortable.

If he didn't see the masked man standing here with his naked eye, he wouldn't have been able to sense his existence at all.

This could only mean that the masked man had restrained his aura, but his strength was much stronger than hiss.

"Weijing, leave first."

Xu Ning said.

Bao Weijing looked at Bao Xinxuan with fear and hatred.

"Yes."

Bao Weijing quickly left.

After seeing that Bao Weijing had left, Bao Xinxuan narrowed his eyes, but he didn't dare to stop him.

"Who are you?"

Bao Xinxuan said carefully, "I am Bao Xinxuan from the Bao family, a subordinate family of the Yuelan Sect."

Bao Xinxuan quickly mentioned his family.

While he was talking, Bao Xinxuan quickly thought about whether this person was his enemy.

When he was traveling, he had offended many people, causing many people to want to kill him.

However, no one dared to come to the Crystal Mansion to seek revenge.

The mountains in the depths of the city were also the territory of the Crystal Mansion, logically speaking, no one should dare to come here.

'This masked man not only knows me, but also Bao Weijing.'

Bao Xinxuan was unable to determine Xu Ning's identity.

Xu Ning took off his mask and revealed his face.

"So young!"

Bao Xinxuan was shocked.

Although a void realm martial artist could greatly slow down their rate of ageing, the process was still inevitable.

With Xu Ning's young appearance, he was definitely not too old, definitely not more than 30 years old.

"It seems that you still don't remember me…"

Xu Ning smiled and shook his head. "That's true, after all, you have abducted me from State Feiyun to State Jifeng a year ago."

"You!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bao Xinxuan's eyes suddenly widened, his body stiffened.

He pointed at Xu Ning with trembling hands, his voice full of disbelief. "You are…"

"That's right, I was the mortal realm warrior who you kidnapped from State Feiyun to State Jifeng!"

The next moment, Xu Ning appeared in front of Bao Xinxuan.

Before Bao Xinxuan could react, Xu Ning reached out his fingertips and touched his chest. Immediately after, Bao Xinxuan screamed, then his body went limp and fell to the ground.

"How is this possible!?"

Bao Xinxuan lost all his strength as he collapsed on the stone wall. He looked up at Xu Ning in horror.

He had only been to State Feiyun once, so he had a deep impression of the trip.

After Xu Ning finished speaking, he remembered the young man who was thrown into the Fire Crystal Mine.

'At that time, he was only in the mortal realm sixth stage inner qi realm, but now he is at least in the void realm fourth stage!'

Bao Xinxuan couldn't imagine how this person escaped from the mine and advanced to this realm in just one year.

"Sir, don't kill me!"

Bao Xinxuan knew that this person was here to take revenge.

"It was not my idea to offend you, it was that old hag Bao Qiuhua's idea. I was just accompanying her!"

Bao Xinxuan pushed all the blame to Bao Qiuhua without hesitation.

"You were just accompanying her?"

Xu Ning was also amused by Bao Xinxuan's shamelessness.

Bao Xinxuan was the one who kidnapped and killed the guards.

If it weren't for the person Bao Xinxuan called her mother-in-law, Xu Ning would have been killed by him.

"Tell me, besides me, where are the other three?"

Xu Ning was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he went straight to the point.

"They are still in the Bao family mansion!"

Because of the huge pressure coming from Xu Ning, Bao Xinxuan quickly responded.

"Oh?"

Xu Ning felt relieved.

It seemed that the three Wei family members were still alive—this was good news.

"You abducted them for the dao seal?"

Xu Ning asked..

Chapter 160: Hand Knife

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Yes, to unseal the dao seal."

Bao Xinxuan's life was in Xu Ning's hands, so he answered honestly. "We have received a dao seal from the Wei family in the past. If we want to unseal it, we will need the blood of the descendants of the Wei family."

Bao Qiuhua had ordered that the matter of the Wei family's dao seal be kept secret.

But at this time, Bao Xinxuan revealed without hesitation.

For Bao Xinxuan, the family benefits were far less important than his own life.

"You are from State Jifeng, so how did you find the dao seal of the Wei family?"

Xu Ning was quite curious about this.

"More than 300 years ago, during the beast tide, there was a dao realm master with the surname Wei in State Jifeng. The dao realm master left a dao seal for the younger generation of the family to observe. However, after a few decades, the dao realm master left State Jifeng. And because the family behind him had too many resources, they were targeted, and the family went through a tumultuous period."

Bao Xinxuan looked at Xu Ning's cold eyes and quickly said, "Therefore, the head of the Wei family took his family and left for State Feiyun. However, because of their hasty retreat and a sudden ambush, some of their family resources were lost, and one of them was a dao seal stone tablet."

"After a while, the dao seal stone tablet fell into the hands of the Bao family. But after we got it, we discovered that the dao seal had a bloodline seal, so we had to go to State Feiyun to find someone suitable."

Bao Xinxuan looked at Xu Ning nervously, afraid that he would suddenly kill him.

"I see…"

Xu Ning nodded with a fake smile.

"Has the bloodline restriction on the dao seal been lifted?"

Xu Ning asked again.

"Soon, it's about to be lifted."

Bao Xinxuan rolled his eyes and said, "Master, if you are interested in the seal, I can find a way to help you get it out and give it to you as an apology."

"Give me that seal?"

Xu Ning's eyes moved.

For other void realm martial artists, dao seals were a tool for accelerating cultivation.

But for Xu Ning, it was basically useless.

Moreover, Xu Ning already had a dao seal in his hand.

"Yes, Master, if you let me go back to the family, I can find a way to cooperate with you and get the dao seal out."

Bao Xinxuan said earnestly.

He said respectfully, but in his heart, he had a devious plan.

Bao Xinxuan only wanted Xu Ning to let him go after hearing about the dao seal.

Then, he could return to his family, find Bao Qiuhua and Fang Jie, and kill Xu Ning together.

"Dao seals are good stuff, but I prefer to take your head."

Xu Ning's words poured a bucket of cold water over Bao Xinxuan.

He didn't expect that Xu Ning was not interested in the dao seal at all.

Bao Xinxuan suddenly panicked: "Don't be too arrogant, you have to think carefully! I am from the Bao family, and the Bao family is a subordinate family of the Yuelan Sect. There are many experts in the family. Moreover, the Bao family has an elite descendant, a core disciple of the Yuelan Sect! If you kill me, you have to think carefully about the consequences!"

After seeing Bao Xinxuan's fierce appearance, Xu Ning had a smile on his face. "An elite descendant, a core disciple of the Yuelan Sect?"

"Didn't Fang Jie tell your family about Bao Ruyuan's death in the mystic realm?"

Bao Xinxuan's heart skipped a beat, his pupils shrank.

"You… how did you know…"

Bao Xinxuan's voice was trembling.

"Because I killed Bao Ruyuan myself!"

Xu Ning's voice was like a sharp knife, cutting into Bao Xinxuan's heart.

"Master, Master, please let me go, I am willing to do anything for you."

Bao Xinxuan was stunned. He then broke down and quickly begged for mercy.

Bao Xinxuan finally realized how terrifying this young man was.

Xu Ning ignored Bao Xinxuan's cries.

He was about to attack.

"Oh yeah…"

Xu Ning suddenly remembered something. "Why did you attack Bao Weijing?"

"It was Madam Quan. She gave me ten Pure Source Pills to kill him."

Bao Xinxuan seized every opportunity to show Xu Ning his obedience.

"Is that so…"

Xu Ning smiled. "Thank you."

However, Xu Ning's eyes were full of murderous intent.

Bao Xinxuan noticed this.

"Master, let me go!"

Bao Xinxuan was completely flustered.

But it was too late.

Xu Ning raised his hand as true qi surged in his palm. He didn't even use his attribute power.

Bang!

Xu Ning slapped Bao Xinxuan's head.

Bao Xinxuan stopped talking.

His head tilted to the side. He was dead.

"One is taken care of."

As long as he dealt with Bao Qiuhua, the feud between Xu Ning and the Bao family would be resolved.

Xu Ning sighed as he watched Bao Xinxuan die in his hands.

A year ago, he thought that he was a high and mighty void realm martial artist, but now he couldn't even withstand a single blow from him.

Because he had been making rapid progress, Xu Ning subconsciously ignored how far he had got.

Now that he looked back, he was happy that he had reached his current realm.

Xu Ning put on the mask again.

He didn't deal with Bao Xinxuan's body. He just left.

He didn't even use his attribute power just now, and with only his true qi as the cause of death, no one would suspect him.

Bao Weijing had told him before that Bao Xinxuan had made enemies everywhere.

His death would most likely be regarded as revenge from his past enemies.

At this time.

Bao Weijing had just killed a mid level mortal realm demon beast.

However, although the mission was completed, he was still uneasy.

An assassination attempt by a clan elder made him worried.

But fortunately, after thinking about Senior Tao, he felt more at ease.

Bao Weijing went to the place where the family members gathered.

Several guards were stationed there.

Everyone was quite surprised to see Bao Weijing walking over with the organs of the demon beast.

Bao Weijing's efficiency was beyond expectations.

After Bao Weijing returned, the family members who went to hunt demon beasts also returned one after another.

Among them, some people brought back the spoils of war and completed the trial with smiles on their faces.

Some were dejected and injured.

"Where did the family elder go? Why hasn't he come yet?"

An hour had passed, the descendants of the family clan, whether successful or not, had all returned.

Due to there being not many powerful demon beasts in the mountains and with the guards coming in time, although some of these young descendants were injured, no one died.

However, after they gathered together, they discovered that the leader of this mission, Elder Bao Xinxuan, had disappeared.

"Let's go and find the family elder."

The guard leader noticed that Bao Xinxuan did not appear, so he called three guards to search together.

Seeing this, Bao Weijing's heart was beating fast.

He didn't know what happened between Senior Tao and Bao Xinxuan.

However, Bao Weijing suddenly heard a voice.

"Bao Xinxuan is dead. Madam Quan is behind this."

Afterwards, the voice disappeared.

"What?!"

Bao Weijing instantly realized that it was a message from Senior Tao.

'Elder Bao Xinxuan is dead. Sure enough, Senior Tao is a master even among void realm martial artists!'

Bao Weijing was relieved, but soon after, a dark look appeared in his eyes. "Madam Quan… So it was Madam Quan who wanted to take my life!"

"All these years, she has been deliberately making things difficult for me. She didn't want me to live comfortably at all. Now it seems that not only does she want to make my life difficult, but she also wants to kill me. When my mother passed away, she was a big suspect. Now it seems that she really did have a hand in this…"

The hatred in Bao Weijing's heart continued to grow. "Madam Quan… once my strength and status improve, I must kill her and avenge my mother!"

In the mountains.

Several guards found Bao Xinxuan's body.

"The family elder was killed!"

The guard leader and several guards looked at each other.

Everyone's face was full of disbelief and fear.

Bao Xinxuan was a void realm martial artist!

"Quick, take the corpse of the family elder, return to the clan and report this matter!"

The guard leader made a prompt decision.

"Yes!"

The guards quickly responded.

…

Bao family mansion.

Inside an underground dungeon.

This place was extremely dark, with only a few weak wall lamps swaying.

Wei Changqing, Wei Binglin, and Wei Zicheng were imprisoned in three adjacent cells.

They were wearing special shackles, causing their internal qi to be sealed.

Although they were wearing relatively clean clothes, their faces were pale and haggard. They looked like they were short of blood.

There was deep despair on their faces. There was no hope at all.

"Uncle, can we get out alive?"

Wei Binglin said.

His voice was weak.

Ever since they were brought here, they had to get their blood taken every few days.

Although they had plenty of food and medicinal materials, this still greatly damaged their bodies.

"I don't know…"

Wei Changqing's tone was hopeless. "I just hope that the family can find us…"

In fact, Wei Changqing and the other two didn't know where they were taken to.

"Uncle…"

Wei Zicheng was no longer energetic. "Recently, the frequency and the quantity of blood extraction have increased. I suspect…"

Wei Zicheng didn't continue, but they all knew very well that their days were coming to an end.

"Every day counts."

Wei Changqing didn't have the mood to encourage the two. "Compared to the guards and Xu Ning, we might be in a better situation."

The three were silent again.

Although the three of them were captured, they still had some use, but in their opinion, Xu Ning might have already encountered an accident.

'Can I still see the sun?'

Wei Zicheng stared at the candlelight on the wall..
