Chapter 261 Zhuo Weisong, Mo Lan

"So you are Xu Ning?"

The cold and handsome-looking man walked to the pavilion and approached Xu Ning.

He looked at Xu Ning with a smirk on his face.

Xu Ning frowned and stood up.

"I am Xu Ning, and who are you?"

As he had just arrived, Xu Ning didn't know much about the situation in the Harmony King Mansion.

He was being cautious.

Although this person was not friendly, now was not the time to offend him.

'This person's realm should be higher than mine… It is highly likely that he is a dao realm fifth stage core cleansing realm master…'

Xu Ning thought while observing this person.

"As a guest, you came to the mansion, but you dare to sit alone in this pavilion, do you think there are no rules at all? Inside this pavilion is the seat of His Highness."

Acting as though he was a high-ranking senior, the cold-looking man was arrogant as he reprimanded Xu Ning.

Xu Ning heard him but did not answer directly.

Xu Ning was certain that this cold-looking man was deliberately targeting him, although he didn't know how the two sides had gotten into a conflict when he had just met him for the first time.

When he was led to this garden, the servant told Xu Ning the rules of the mansion.

But there was no mention of the rule that he couldn't sit in the pavilion and wait.

"This is my first time here, so please forgive

me."

Xu Ning's mouth was still polite, but his eyes were locked with the cold-looking man. His aura was no weaker than the man in front of him.

The cold-looking man snorted, as if he still wanted to reprimand Xu Ning.

But at this moment, someone else arrived.

"Zhuo Weisong, what are you doing?"

Xu Ning looked up and saw that the visitor was Zhang He, the man who was always beside Duan Chaofeng.

Zhang He was wearing a long robe with wide sleeves. He stared at the cold-looking man named Zhuo Weisong with a look of displeasure.

Zhuo Weisong frowned when he saw Zhang He. He also retracted back the attitude he was going to show Xu Ning.

"Master Zhang."

Zhuo Weisong cupped his fists, but it seemed like he was doing it just for show.

"Xu Ning had just arrived at the mansion, so I came here to teach him the rules of the mansion."

Zhuo Weisong glanced at Xu Ning with a hint of provocation.

"You don't have to teach him."

Zhang He was dissatisfied with Zhuo Weisong's attitude. "I will teach him the rules of the mansion, there is no need to trouble you."

"Then I'm being nosy…"

Zhuo Weisong seemed to be mocking himself. "In this case, I will take my leave."

After that, he glanced at Xu Ning, ignored Zhang He, and left.

Zhang He watched Zhuo Weisong leave. After a long time, he snorted. "Arrogant!"

"Xu Ning."

Zhang He turned his head and walked next to Xu Ning. His expression changed as he smiled. "Sorry to keep you waiting."

Zhang He knew very well how Duan Chaofeng treated Xu Ning, so he was always friendly to Xu Ning.

"Senior Zhang He, I didn't wait long."

Xu Ning bowed.

He had a good impression of Zhang He.

"You didn't bring your two demon beasts with

you?"

Zhang He asked.

"Yes, they are in an independent space."

Xu Ning said.

The current Xu Ning had two spatial secret treasures on him. One was the Demon Beast Scroll's bead, while the other was the Hidden Moon Bead.

И.

"Senior Zhang He…"

After chatting for a while, Xu Ning asked, "That person just now…"

"That person's name is Zhuo Weisong. He works for His Highness."

At the mention of Zhuo Weisong, Zhang He's expression became serious again. "His father is a trusted subordinate of the King. The trusted subordinate's name is Zhuo Cengyun, and he is a high-level master in the seventh stage of the dao realm. With his father's status, whenever Zhuo Weisong is on duty with the prince, he will be arrogant, thinking that he is superior to others."

"I see…"

Xu Ning nodded. "But I have never seen this person before, so why is he so hostile to me?"

Xu Ning did not beat around the bush and asked directly.

Zhang He smiled. "Although this is the first time you have seen him, this is not the first time he has heard of your name."

"Oh?"

Xu Ning was puzzled. "His Highness has been talking about you in the mansion recently. Moreover, he admires your attitude. Although you haven't been to the mansion yet, all of the trusted subordinates around His Highness know your name." Zhang He said, "The martial arts talent you displayed, as well as your ability and efficiency, satisfied His Highness."

"So, Zhuo Weisong hates me because of this?"

Xu Ning was amused. "That's right."

Zhang He said, "Over the years, His Highness has never shown this kind of attitude towards the people around him. Even before you arrived at the mansion, there were already people secretly trying to get close to you."

"I see…"

Xu Ning was a little surprised. Unknowingly, he had become a core member of State Guqing. "Okay, let's talk as we walk."

Zhang He said, "I will take you to see His Highness first."

"Okay."

Xu Ning followed behind Zhang He.

Afterwards, Zhang He took Xu Ning to Duan Chaofeng's study. When Duan Chaofeng saw Xu Ning, his attitude was very enthusiastic.

After a brief exchange, Duan Chaofeng asked Zhang He to personally arrange accommodation for Xu Ning.

Xu Ning was assigned to a side room in the prince's villa.

It was a side room, but it was luxurious.

This was only the prince's villa, but it was several times larger than the Cheng family mansion. Afterwards, over the next few days, Xu Ning stayed in his room and casually refined some pills for his needs to prepare for his trip to sea.

"Eh?"

After refining a furnace full of demon beast pills that would mainly be used as bait, Xu Ning suddenly realized something.

The client who asked Shi Chenghao to refine medicine for him also needed him to refine a large number of demon beast medicinal pills, including many bait pills that could lure demon beasts.

"That person must be a Master Tamer… I wonder if he will be recruited for this trip…'

Just when he was thinking, a servant came to call Xu Ning.

"Master Xu, in four hours, His Highness will hold a banquet in the banquet hall. Please remember to attend on time."

The servant said respectfully to Xu Ning. "A banquet…"

Xu Ning nodded. "Understood."

'It seems that we are going out to sea in a few days.'

Xu Ning thought to himself.

This banquet was the final event before they would go out to sea.

At the same time.

State Luzhi, Promise King Mansion.

In a study, a beautiful woman in a male outfit with hair tied high was sitting on a high seat.

She exuded a strong aura and had sharp eyes. She was obviously not an ordinary person. Under her seat, there were nearly ten people sitting in two rows below her.

At the bottommost of the seats was Sect Master Cen Yumou of the Wind Parasol Pavilion and Sect Master Liang Tingang of the Green Edge Sect.

The two of them had the lowest status in the study.

"The preparations to capture the Night Beast are done. In three days, we will go out to sea."

The woman in the male outfit said.

This person was the daughter of the Promise King, Princess Mo Lan.

"Yes, Your Highness."

The people below responded at the same time.

"After capturing the Night Beast, I will personally deliver it to the Empress. I hope everyone will do their best and not make any mistakes. After everything is done, I will definitely give everyone a generous reward."

Although she was a woman, Princess Mo Lan's every gesture had a more heroic aura than a man would.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The people below responded. "By the way, if there are no accidents, our attempt to capture the Night Beast should have been exposed."

Mo Lan glanced at everyone.

"A few days ago, I cleaned out a few spies from the mansion. Although they refused to admit their identity, I am certain that the news of the Night Beast's appearance has been spread."

Mo Lan said, "So, in addition to facing the risks overseas, we may also face other enemies."

"However, don't worry too much about this. We have made sufficient preparations and have recruited a group of highly skilled Master Tamers. With them around, our trip will be much smoother. With everyone's support, our strength is enough to guarantee our success."

Mo Lan said, "Also, the crew members for this trip are all disciples of the Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect. I have to thank the two sect masters for your efforts. After all, this trip will be quite dangerous."

"Your Highness, you're too kind."

Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang, who were sitting at the bottom, quickly got up when they heard this. "It is our duty to share your worries, Your Highness."

The two were very humble.

Especially Cen Yumou, after one of his sect strongholds was seized by the Swallow Heron Sect a few days ago, he was afraid that Princess Mo Lan would hear about this and reprimanded him.

But unexpectedly, Mo Lan did not blame him.

Seeing the humble posture of these two, the others in the room also showed a faint look of contempt.

They all knew that the Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect were originally the forces of State Guqing.

Their humble attitude of being willing to do anything for Princess Mo Lan was because they wanted to get Mo Lan's consent to move their sect from State Guqing to State Luzhi.

"In this case, go back and prepare."

Mo Lan waved her hand.

Everyone in the room stood up and bowed to Mo Lan before leaving the room.

"Your Highness." An old woman walked out from behind the screen.

This old woman had an extraordinary aura. She was a high level master in the seventh stage of the dao realm.

Generally speaking, after advancing to the dao realm, masters would adopt their younger appearances. Only a few people would allow themselves to show their old appearance. "Although the Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect are obedient and useful, we can't rely too much on them."

The old woman persuaded, "After all, they are still the forces of State Guqing. If you keep delegating important tasks to them, the people of State Luzhi around you will be dissatisfied."

"I know what to do."

Princess Mo Lan said, "This trip is full of dangers. It is also a test for them. If they perform well enough, I will allow them to move into State Luzhi. In the end, there are not many people from State Luzhi who are willing to follow me. They are all my brother's people."

"In comparison, the Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect are the truly obedient swords."

Chapter 262 Sailing, Three Forces

A few days later.

On the surface of the Endless Sea, a huge fleet was slowly advancing.

In the middle of the fleet, there was a giant ship that was extremely luxurious. It pushed away the waves and moved forward.

This fleet belonged to the Harmony Prince Duan Chaofeng.

Now, they had already set off from State Wansheng, riding the wind and waves to the overseas archipelago where the Night Beast roamed.

Xu Ning was also on this giant ship with Duan Chaofeng. The sky in the distance was dark, thunder and lightning were rumbling, and a storm was brewing.

However, when the raindrops landed on the giant ship, they were repelled by an invisible membrane.

With it, the hull and deck of the giant ship were not wet at all.

There were many void realm disciples on the deck, some patrolling, some looking into the distance to observe the situation.

They set off at almost the same time as Mo Lan's fleet, but the two ships took different routes, so they did not encounter each other on the way.

"Xu Ning, I remember you are not from State Wansheng?"

At this moment, Duan Chaofeng walked out of the cabin and came onto the deck.

They stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the waves in the distance.

"Yes, I'm from abroad."

Xu Ning was standing behind Duan Chaofeng.

In addition to him, Zhang He, Zhuo Weisong, and three other faces stood next to Duan Chaofeng.

These people were all Duan Chaofeng's trusted aides.

"Heh…"

Zhuo Weisong showed a mocking expression when he heard Xu Ning came from abroad.

In his opinion, State Wansheng was the center of the martial arts world, and people from outside State Wansheng were regarded as bumpkins by Zhuo Weisong.

"When you crossed the Endless Sea and came to State Wansheng, the trip was probably full of dangers."

Duan Chaofeng's tone was full of concern.

This made the people around him a little envious.

"It was a close shave. Although there were some difficulties, we all successfully crossed the sea in the end."

Xu Ning responded.

Whoosh!

At this moment, a huge wave slammed into the transparent barrier of the giant ship. "Hmm?"

Duan Chaofeng's eyes twitched. "Zhang He, is there something underwater?"

"A mid-level dao realm sea demon beast."

Zhang He sensed it ahead of time and responded.

Zhang He was in the dao realm sixth stage core transformation realm, and he was the second strongest person among the people who went out to sea this time.

The strongest of them was Dong Ji, a dao realm seventh stage master transferred from the Harmony King's to Duan Chaofeng's side.

However, this Dong Ji was a senior. Although he was also on the giant ship, he was not with them. He was alone in the cabin.

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge fishtail suddenly emerged from the bottom of the sea.

Bang!

The fish tail slammed into the sea, raising huge waves that were dozens of meters high.

The fierce impact disrupted the formation of the fleet.

Even the medium-sized ship that was leading the way was knocked off course. "Zhang He, go deal with it!" Duan Chaofeng ordered Zhang He.

If they let this demon beast in the sea continue to torment them, their giant ship would be fine, but the other ships of the fleet would be in danger of capsizing. There were not many masters on the other ships. They were all just followers sent to search for the Night Beast. "Yes, Your Highness!"

Zhang He accepted the order.

Afterwards, he jumped off the giant ship.

Zhang He stepped on the sea surface and flew quickly.

"Ha!"

With a shout, Zhang He flapped his robe and dived directly into the water.

Zhang He was courageous. He dared to enter the water and fight against the demon beasts in the sea.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The fleet began to slow down, and the sound of explosions came from the water ahead.

Waves surged one after another on the surface of the sea, creating circles of white edges.

Obviously, the fight between Zhang He and the demon beast under the sea was extremely fierce.

After about half an hour, the sea surface began to calm down.

Whoosh!

Zhang He's figure emerged from the bottom of the sea. With a few steps, he flew up and returned to the deck of the giant ship. "Done, Your Highness."

Zhang He was still covered in dust, and there was no trace of water on his clothes.

"Your strength has improved again."

Duan Chaofeng smiled and said, "How far are you from the seventh stage?" When Zhang He heard this, he responded, "At least five years, at most thirty years." "Okay!"

Duan Chaofeng laughed. "There will soon be a high-level master next to me!"

"I wish Senior Zhang He a breakthrough as soon as possible."

Xu Ning also said at the side.

Although years, decades, and centuries were still considered long for Xu Ning, it was nothing to these dao realm masters.

The advancement time mentioned by Zhang He was not considered long at all.

After Xu Ning said this, the others echoed what he said.

Only Zhuo Weisong had a cold expression.

Duan Chaofeng also noticed Zhuo Weisong's reaction, but he didn't say anything. In fact, Duan Chaofeng didn't like Zhuo Weisong.

Duan Chaofeng only accepted him as a trusted aide because of his father, Zhuo Cengyun. When Duan Chaofeng was young, Zhuo Cengyun was sent by the Harmony King to teach him martial arts.

Otherwise, Duan Chaofeng would have already transferred Zhuo Weisong away.

Without the underwater demon beast's interference, the entire fleet returned to their previous formation and began to move quickly.

"The clear sky region is not far ahead. Once we reach the clear sky region, we can bathe in sunlight."

Duan Chaofeng smiled, and the others echoed what he said.

Although they were all dao realm masters who did not have high requirements for their environment, their long term habits made everyone wishing they were traveling under the clear sky.

The fleet continued to advance.

There was no day or night.

Two months went by just like this. On this day, everyone appeared on the deck of the ship.

But this time, there was a skinny middle-aged

man.

He had a beard and his eyes narrowed as he looked into the distance.

There was no aura of a powerhouse coming from this person, but Duan Chaofeng, Zhang He, Xu Ning, and others next to him did not dare to underestimate him.

Because this middle-aged man was the high-level dao realm seventh stage master, Dong Ji.

"The area where the Night Beast appears is right ahead."

Duan Chaofeng said to Dong Ji.

Duan Chaofeng's tone was respectful.

"Mmm…"

Dong Ji nodded. "This Night Beast is extremely good at hiding its aura and sneaking around. Even for me, it is difficult to locate its aura and determine its location. Therefore, you have to coordinate the people accompanying you and let them search this island."

"If they find any traces of the Night Beast, they should immediately send out a signal so that we can arrive as quickly as possible."

"Everything has been arranged, Senior Dong, don't worry."

Duan Chaofeng said.

Xu Ning stood aside and looked into the distance.

There was more than one stretch of coastline in front of him.

This was an archipelago. The sea was separating islands from islands.

The Night Beast did not live on a specific island, so it could appear anywhere in this area.

"Pick an island to disembark first, we will search one island after another."

Duan Chaofeng said to the guard leader.

Although they had a lot of manpower, it was still difficult to spread out several teams and search.

Moreover, Mo Lan's people must have also arrived. There would inevitably be conflict between them.

Therefore, gathering people together and investigating each island was the most suitable method.

Bang! Bang!

Finally, they reached the shore. The people on the ship also began to disembark in an orderly manner.

'I finally stepped on land…'

Xu Ning sighed.

However, although they were on the sea, the giant ship was very stable, similar to when they were on land. It did not suffer much turbulence.

"This island is still under the clear sky region…'

Xu Ning looked up. There was still sunlight.

Half of this archipelago was in the clear sky region, while the other half was under dense dark clouds.

"Pick a suitable place to camp and rest first."

Duan Chaofeng ordered, "Arrange for the Master Tamers to be protected in the middle of the camp."

"Yes!"

The guards of the mansion responded.

The Master Tamers were the key to this operation.

Their unique beast taming skills and the demon beasts they controlled were all very helpful in searching for the Night Beast.

Afterwards, the group began to move.

After half a day.

On another island far away from Xu Ning's fleet, another fleet landed onshore.

These people were naturally Princess Mo Lan and the others.

'I wonder if Duan Chaofeng's group has arrived…

After getting on the island, Mo Lan thought to herself.

After asking around, she also learned that a fleet of the Harmony King Mansion had also left the sea just as she was leaving for the sea.

After making some deductions, Mo Lan knew that the person who planted spies around her was Duan Chaofeng.

His goal this time was probably the same as her own: To capture the Night Beast.

"Tell everyone to rest here."

Mo Lan ordered the people around her, "At the same time, station sentinels on the shore. If you see Duan Chaofeng's group approaching, report it immediately."

Mo Lan was a little afraid of Duan Chaofeng.

At this moment.

Far away from the islands, a big fish was swimming towards the islands.

On the back of the fish sat several figures.

They were all wearing gray robes that covered their bodies.

Woosh!

A sea breeze blew by.

And one person's gray hood was blown away.

An old face was revealed.

This person was Lie Ying, the man who had requested Xu Ning to refine pills.

"Lie Ying."

The person sitting in front of the fishback tilted his head slightly.

"Master."

Lie Ying was very respectful to this person.

"You are a Master Tamer, so it's up to you to search for the Night Beast."

The man who was called master by Lie Ying said gently.

"Master, don't worry."

Lie Ying said, "I will definitely try my best to find the Night Beast."

"Mmm…"

The master nodded in satisfaction. "Thank you. Whether you succeed or not, I will give you generous gifts in the future."

Report chapter

Chapter 263 Expansion of the Demon Beast Scroll

On the island.

The people from the Harmony King Mansion were stationed here.

This time, the fleet of the Harmony King Mansion brought along an independent space. It was a construction type spatial secret treasure. It could hold hundreds of people, and there were all kinds of necessary items inside. It was basically a ready-made camp.

There were already guards from the mansion forming teams, protecting one or two Master Tamers as they began to search the island.

These Master Tamers had abundant methods to deal with demon beasts. They would also make some preparations in the places they searched.

Whenever they searched an area, they would place a sensor.

If the Night Beast passed through the area they had set up, it would be quickly noticed.

Xu Ning also came out of the camp.

He was ready to release Gray and Cyan from the Demon Beast Scroll, letting them sense the environment here.

After leaving the camp and walking a distance away, Xu Ning sent Gray the message in the Demon Beast Scroll.

Not long after, Gray and Cyan appeared on the island at the same time.

"We have reached the Night Beast's territory?".

Cyan and Gray stepped on the soil on the island, both curious.

"How do you feel about the environment here?"

Xu Ning asked the two. It was said that the Night Beast was extremely picky about its living environment, so it must have chosen a unique place.

"Nothing special…"

Cyan reached out its hind legs and scratched the back of its head with a twisted posture.

Gray sensed the environment and shook its head gently. "Except for the spiritual energy being slightly richer than State Wansheng, I don't feel anything else…" "Is that so…"

Xu Ning also noticed the rich spiritual energy of the island.

However, Xu Ning felt that this was definitely not the reason why the Night Beast chose this area as its living environment.

Xu Ning guessed that there must be something special about these nearby islands.

"Come, let's walk around and see if there are any resources beneficial to demon beasts on this island."

Xu Ning said, "Be alert and see if you can find any traces of the Night Beast." Demon beasts at the level of Gray and Cyan had extremely strong perception towards demon beast bloodlines.

If the Night Beast's fur and smell appeared nearby, Cyan and Gray would definitely notice it.

"Understood."

Afterwards, Xu Ning led Gray and Cyan to search the mountains on the eastern side of the island.

Resources would normally be concentrated in that kind of place.

"This island is so big…'

Xu Ning discovered that the size of this island was equivalent to a state in the Abyss North.

The size of the surrounding archipelago could rival half of the Abyss North.

Moreover, the concentration of spiritual energy here was several levels higher than the Abyss North.

'However, although it is large and has a lot of resources, there are relatively few signs of life…'

Xu Ning and the other two could see the good stuff everywhere just by simply entering the mountain.

Many spirit medicines that were considered precious in State Wansheng were swaying in the wind like weeds.

Xu Ning shifted these high-quality spirit medicines into the Hidden Moon Pearl.

"What is that?"

Cyan and Gray were attracted by an emerald fruit at the same time.

In a flash, they arrived in front of the emerald fruit.

Xu Ning saw this and followed.

"Jade Scar Blood Tempering Fruit!"

Xu Ning recognized it immediately.

Although this Jade Scar Blood Tempering Fruit was relatively unpopular, Xu Ning had the Red Sea Demon Lord's alchemy encyclopedia, so he had a lot of knowledge about spirit herbs.

This Jade Scar Blood Tempering Fruit was a spirit medicine fruit that was extremely beneficial to demon beasts. It could greatly improve the bloodline purity of demon beasts.

Its flesh could be directly swallowed by a demon beast, and its core was also a material that could be used to refine demon beast medicinal pills.

This was why although Cyan and Gray did not recognize the Jade Scar Blood Tempering Fruit, they were attracted to it.

"This is good stuff. After eating this fruit, it can cleanse your bloodline, increasing its purity."

Xu Ning explained to Cyan and Gray.

Their eyes lit up when they heard this.

Especially Cyan as it planned to swallow the fruit before Gray could react.

However, its intention was directly seen through by Gray. As a result, it was slapped on the face and forcibly stopped.

"Let's have half each."

Cyan said embarrassedly.

"Wait a moment…"

Xu Ning said, "This Jade Scar Blood Tempering Fruit is still not mature yet… If it is eaten directly, it will decrease its effect."

"What should we do? We can't wait here for it to mature, right?"

Cyan obviously couldn't wait any longer.

"We can transfer it into the Demon Beast Scroll and use fertilizers that are rich in spiritual energy to accelerate its growth. I estimate that it will ripen in a month. A ripened Jade Scar Blood Tempering Fruit will be three times more effective than this immature one."

Xu Ning explained to the two. "I can't believe this…"

Cyan looked hesitant.

"Then I'll have to trouble Brother to plant it in the Demon Beast Scroll first. We will eat it after it matures."

Gray seemed extremely patient on the other hand.

Xu Ning began to move, preparing to transplant the entire Jade Scar Blood Tempering Fruit.

"Wait…"

Xu Ning realized a problem.

"This kind of precious demon beast fruit is very attractive to demon beasts. No matter how rich the resources here are, it should be able to attract demon beasts to consume it…"

Xu Ning was a little puzzled.

Although there were few creatures on this island, there were still some.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Suddenly, the soil on the mountain began to loosen and the ground started cracking.

A giant claw suddenly emerged from the soil.

"Back off!"

Xu Ning reacted quickly. The moment he dodged the giant claw, he also picked up the entire Jade Scar Blood Tempering Fruit.

Roar!

After a terrifying roar, a hideous head emerged from the mud.

Its voice was full of anger.

"No wonder the Jade Scar Blood Tempering Fruit was not swallowed. So this guy was watching over it!"

Xu Ning finally understood.

The demon beast that emerged from the soil had appeared in its entirety.

It was a terrifying giant lizard that was thirty meters long.

"Rock Rolling Lizard!"

Xu Ning recognized it. "A mid-level dao realm demon beast!"

'When this guy was hiding in the soil, he could hide his aura to the extreme! If I hadn't really picked this Jade Scar Blood Tempering Fruit, it probably wouldn't have exposed its hiding spot.'

"Run!"

Cyan shouted and was about to enter the Demon Beast Scroll.

"No need to run, we can fight it!" Gray's eyes lit up. "Brother, your strength should be able to suppress it, right? I want to capture it, send it into the Demon Beast Scroll and turn it into my helper!"

The current Gray wanted to fill the Demon Beast Scroll with demon beasts that had high combat power.

"Okay!"

When Xu Ning heard this, his eyes lit up. He was very supportive of Gray's idea.

"Cyan, come and help!"

Xu Ning ordered Cyan.

"Huh?"

Cyan was taken aback, but it still chose to listen.

Bang!

Cyan's body suddenly expanded and a dense blood fog instantly spread out with it as the center.

This time, the blood fog cast by Cyan not only had its concentration increased by more than ten times, but its range was also wider.

The Rock Rolling Lizard was immediately wrapped in the blood fog.

Although it was a coward, Cyan was quick to act.

When Xu Ning saw this, he also used the Wind Smoke Gourd to envelop the Rock Rolling Lizard as well.

This lizard was an ordinary mid level dao realm beast, so Xu Ning could easily fight it.

Gray activated the bloodline power in its body and disturbed the nearby space.

Whoosh!

Gray and Cyan moved through the fog, launching a sneak attack on the lizard.

As for Xu Ning, he was responsible for fighting it head-on.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Xu Ning held the Cyan Wolf Knife and astral qi flew out of the blade.

This caused several wounds to appear on the body of the lizard beast. 'Poison miasma!'

At the same time, Xu Ning activated the poisonous miasma of the gray fog.

Although the lizard was in the mid level of the dao realm, its perception was still greatly isolated in the gray fog. It was difficult for it to determine the location of Xu Ning and the other two, so it could not counterattack effectively.

After the poisonous miasma was activated, the stone lizard began to feel its body was being corroded. Bang! Bang! Bang! The lizard beast waved its tail frantically, smashing the nearby rocks.

It roared and began to charge, wanting to escape from the gray fog.

But Xu Ning obviously wouldn't give it a chance. As it moved, he adjusted the range of the gray fog, ensuring that it was always enveloped.

'I have to make this guy lose consciousness before I can send him to the Demon Beast Scroll.'

Xu Ning remained calm and kept his moves calculated.

If the target showed resistance, it would be impossible to put it into an independent space.

Finally, with the passage of time, the feeling of resistance in the Rock Rolling Lizard weakened.

'Soon…'

This was the result of Xu Ning's deliberate control.

Otherwise, if he went all out, he would have the ability to kill him.

Cling! Clang!

Xu Ning grabbed an opening and landed on the Rock Rolling Lizard's head.

He put away the Cyan Wolf Knife, and his fist was covered with astral qi. He then hit the head of the lizard beast.

With the corrosion of the poisonous miasma and Xu Ning's relentless attacks, the lizard finally lost consciousness. Its huge body was lying on the mountain.

Seeing this, Xu Ning quickly urged, "Quick, Gray! Take advantage of its loss of consciousness and send it into the Demon Beast Scroll!"

"Okay!"

Gray moved quickly. As soon as it finished speaking, it sent the powerless lizard into the Demon Beast Scroll.

After the battle ended, Xu Ning put away the gray fog, while Cyan put away the blood fog.

"Thank you, Brother!"

Gray thanked him.

"It's fine."

Xu Ning waved his hand. "There should be many dao realm demon beasts in the nearby islands. After a while, we can capture some and send them into the Demon Beast Scroll!"

Report chapter

Chapter 264 Traces of the Night Beast

"However, it is not easy to send a demon beast into the Demon Beast Scroll, and it is even more difficult to tame it after the matter."

Xu Ning said to Gray, "You have to spend more energy to plant the Demon Beast Scroll mark on the Rock Rolling Lizard." Before the Demon Beast Scroll was damaged, it was a top-notch treasure.

In its undamaged state, when ordinary demon beasts were caught, they would immediately be imprinted.

But now, the controller had to spend more time and effort to plant a mark on the demon beast they captured "It's just a little more effort, no worries."

Gray responded. For Gray, it had long wanted to expand the dao realm combat power in the Demon Beast Scroll, but it had never had the opportunity. And now the opportunity to do so came to it. "The demon beasts here should have never come into contact with human powerhouses."

Xu Ning said, "When the lizard fought with me just now, it had no combat experience at all. Moreover, it doesn't speak human language, so it obviously hasn't come into contact with the human world."

"That's right…"

Gray nodded.

"You have to thank me."

Cyan leaned forward at this moment. "If it weren't for me, Xu Ning wouldn't have been able to subdue that Rock Rolling Lizard so easily."

Gray sneered and said casually, "In that case, thank you very much."

Cyan rolled its eyes. "It's useless to thank me verbally. Instead, give me the entire Jade Scar Blood Tempering Fruit." Gray listened and ignored it.

Cyan gritted its teeth.

"Come, let's continue walking around and see if we can find anything else."

Xu Ning also wanted to obtain more resources here.

Advancing from the dao realm fourth stage to the dao realm fifth stage required 8.5 million units of energy, which was a huge amount for Xu Ning

Xu Ning wanted to accumulate more energy by coming to this resource-rich island.

Xu Ning continued to explore the island with Cyan and Gray.

Three months went by in the blink of an eye. During this period of time, the search fleet of Harmony King Mansion had searched three islands, and they were reaching the fourth island.

Before going there, they left a portion of their manpower on the already searched island.

If the Night Beast touched the trap set by the Master Tamers, they would be triggered and alert their people. During this period of time, Duan Chaofeng's people and Mo Lan's people had also noticed each other.

However, since their search area was different, the two sides had not officially fought yet.

However, both sides knew that as the search continued, it was only a matter of time before the two sides ran into each other.

Over the past three months, Xu Ning brought Gray and Cyan along to search for traces of the Night Beast on the three islands, whilst capturing demon beasts for resources.

During this period of time, the dao realm combat power in the Demon Beast Scroll was expanded.

One more mid level dao realm demon beast and three elementary level dao realm demon beasts were added.

If he brought this back to the Swallow Heron Sect, the overall combat power of the Swallow Heron Sect would greatly increase. Moreover, this amount was deliberately controlled.

Gray only chose to continue capturing new demon beasts after planting a Demon Beast Scroll mark on the captured demon beasts.

Otherwise, a demon beast that had not been imprinted and was uncontrollable would cause chaos in the Demon Beast Scroll.

In addition to the expansion of the Demon Beast Scroll, Gray and Cyan also discovered many spirit medicines that could promote the growth of demon beasts.

This caused their strength to increase by a lot.

Although there was still a clear distance from the mid level dao realm, it helped narrow the gap between the realms. As for Xu Ning, he had also gained a lot. He had obtained nearly 1.7 million units of energy, causing his energy reserves to be close to 2 million units.

Although it was still far from 8.5 million units of energy, it was still considered very fast.

On one certain day three months later, Duan Chaofeng and Mo Lan, who were both afraid of each other, finally landed on the same island.

This island was the last unexplored island in this archipelago.

This island was in the center of the nearby islands. Moreover, it was also the largest, almost the size of three normal islands combined.

Both sides arrived at the island at the same time, but when they chose to set up camp, both sides deliberately avoided each other.

Inside the Harmony Prince's camp.

Inside the construction type spatial secret treasure.

The internal construction was similar to the insides of a mansion.

In a hall, Duan Chaofeng gathered his trusted aides, Masters Tamers, and guard leaders.

Duan Chaofeng sat on the seat next to Dong Ji.

Xu Ning, Zhang He, Zhuo Weisong, and the others sat below.

"Everyone, if there are no special circumstances, the search for the Night Beast has almost come to a conclusion."

Duan Chaofeng glanced at everyone with a serious expression. "Whether it is us or Mo Lan's men, we have obviously not found any traces of the Night Beast. Demon beasts like the Night Beast, who are extremely picky about their living environment, are unlikely to leave the nearby archipelago, much less dive into the deep sea. Therefore, the Night Beast is likely to be hiding on this last island."

The people below were also listening to Duan Chaofeng's speech seriously. "When searching on this island, not only do we have to be careful of the environment, but we also have to be wary of Mo Lan's men."

Duan Chaofeng said, "Although I belong to the same clan as Mo Lan, the Night Beast is too tempting, so we have to be cautious of their ambushes when searching for it."

"Yes."

Everyone responded at the same time.

"If we really encounter someone from Mo Lan's group, we should avoid conflict if possible. But if we really can't avoid it, we should attack."

Duan Chaofeng continued, "Next, please try your best, let's not waste our efforts at the last moment."

"If anyone discovers the traces of the Night Beast, even if it is just a trace, I will reward them heavily afterwards."

"Yes!"

Everyone obeyed. After Duan Chaofeng finished speaking, everyone dispersed, walked out of the independent space, and began to search.

In addition to Duan Chaofeng and Dong Ji, Zhang He, who had been protecting Duan Chaofeng, was also searching for the Night Beast on the island with two Master Tamers.

Xu Ning still brought along Gray and Cyan, just like before.

On the island.

'This island feels different from the previous one.'

As they walked on the island, Gray suddenly said.

"Hmm?"

Xu Ning raised his eyebrows and looked at Gray. "I also feel weird."

Cyan added, "Walking on this island gives me an inexplicable sense of comfort."

"Why do you feel this way?"

Xu Ning asked.

"I can't say."

Gray shook its head. "It's like an instinctive feeling coming from my bloodline." "That's right."

It was rare for Cyan to express the same opinion as Gray.

"Is that so…"

Xu Ning muttered, "If you can sense the uniqueness of this island, then the Night Beast must also be able to sense the uniqueness of this island. It seems that the Night Beast is highly likely to be on this island." "Let's be careful this time…"

Xu Ning reminded. "Okay."

Gray and Cyan became cautious.

On the island.

Another team was searching.

There were a total of seven people in this team, two of whom were Master Tamers.

The leader of this team was one of Duan Chaofeng's trusted aides, Zhuo Weisong.

Zhuo Weisong's current expression was tense. He seemed to be in a bad mood.

'Xu Ning, that outsider, is actually favored by the prince…' Zhuo Weisong thought, 'He hasn't made any contributions to the mansion and yet, he is already receiving this kind of treatment. The prince is too foolish.' Zhuo Weisong became more and more dissatisfied with Xu Ning the more he spent time with him.

He was originally the closest confidant besides Zhang He by the prince's side due to the status of his father.

But now that Xu Ning was here, Zhuo Weisong felt like he was being ostracized.

Even Zhang He, who had kept a distance from him, began to provoke him.

At the same time, the other trusted aides of the prince got closer to Xu Ning and distanced themselves from him too.

Although Zhuo Weisong knew that this was related to his attitude towards others, he still blamed everything on Xu Ning.

'This island is full of dangers. There have been many guards and even Master Tamers who accidentally died while searching for the Night Beast. If Xu Ning can also die here, it will be great.'

Zhuo Weisong was very petty as he thought to himself.

Of course, Zhuo Weisong also knew that the probability of this happening was low. Xu Ning was extremely cautious and strong. It was not easy for him to fall here. 'Even if I can't make Xu Ning suffer, if I can find traces of the Night Beast and make a huge contribution, then Xu Ning is nothing in front of me.'

Zhuo Weisong thought to himself.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, in the middle of the team, the liquid in a transparent bottle held by a Master Tamer in the elementary level of the dao realm turned into a faint black color.

"What's wrong?"

Zhuo Weisong's heart stirred and quickly leaned over.

"Not long ago, a demon beast with an extremely high-tier bloodline appeared nearby!"

The Master Tamer looked a little excited.

"Could it be the Night Beast?"

Zhuo Weisong asked anxiously.

"Probably!"

The Master Tamer responded as the liquid turned darker and darker.

Seeing this, everyone in the team was extremely excited.

Discovering the tracks of the Night Beast was a huge contribution!

Their team would be rewarded by the prince.

"Search the vicinity and see if we can find any clues!"

Zhuo Weisong quickly said, the unhappiness on his face earlier had been wiped clean.

"Be careful."

Zhuo Weisong added, "Although this Night Beast is not yet mature and is only in the mid level of the dao realm, as an apex demon beast, it has extremely special methods and is extremely dangerous!"

"Yes!"

Hearing this, the guards quickly suppressed the restlessness in their hearts.

Chapter 265 High Level Dao Realm Fight

Zhuo Weisong and the others began to search for traces of the Night Beast nearby.

He didn't need to find the Night Beast. He just needed to find some traces left behind, and just that would be considered a great contribution.

Zhuo Weisong, the guards of the mansion, and the Master Tamers in the team carefully searched.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Zhuo Weisong felt his vision blur.

It was as if a shadow had flashed in front of him.

Zhuo Weisong rubbed his eyes and found that he was fine.

'Strange…'

Zhuo Weisong felt a little uneasy.

However, because nothing unexpected happened, Zhuo Weisong stopped thinking about this problem. Zhuo Weisong lowered his head and searched the ground.

'What's going on, the light seems to have dimmed…'

Zhuo Weisong looked up at the sky.

The sun was still high in the sky, but the sunlight had become dim. 'I actually can't see clearly…' Zhuo Weisong panicked. Generally speaking, after advancing to the dao realm, one would have extremely strong night vision.

Even without a light source, one could still see their surroundings clearly.

Zhuo Weisong quickly turned his head, wanting to ask the others if they felt the same.

However, in the blink of an eye, he discovered that all of his colleagues who were not far away from him had disappeared.

'Not good!'

Even if he was dumb, Zhuo Weisong knew that he was in danger.

'I need to get back to the camp!

This was Zhuo Weisong's only thought.

With Dong Ji in the camp, any danger could be resolved.

However, Zhuo Weisong felt the darkness in front of him intensify. Even the sounds around him disappeared.

Soon, he was in complete darkness, as if he had arrived in a silent space.

Zhuo Weisong began to shout in panic, but he couldn't hear his own voice.

Gradually, Zhuo Weisong felt his consciousness begin to sink into the silent dark space.

On the other side.

Xu Ning, Cyan and Gray had gained a lot.

"The spirit medicine resources on this island are several times richer than on the previous islands!'

Whether it was Xu Ning, Cyan, or Gray, they all received a lot of benefits.

Not long after, Xu Ning obtained another hundred thousand units of energy.

'It seems that before returning to State Wansheng, I should be able to gather 3.5 million units of energy…'

Xu Ning was very satisfied.

Whether or not he could capture the Night Beast, for Xu Ning, he had definitely profited from this journey.

"This island is good, so good!"

Cyan stuffed another spirit medicine fruit into its mouth and chewed on it.

With its mouth full of fruit juice, Cyan had a look of satisfaction on its face.

"Brother."

Gray leaned next to Xu Ning. "The previous demon beast we captured already has a demon beast mark planted on it. I think we can capture another one now."

Gray was only in the elementary level of the dao realm. If it wanted to capture a stronger demon beast, it could only rely on Xu Ning. "Okay."

Xu Ning agreed.

Increasing Gray's strength was equivalent to increasing his strength and the strength of the Swallow Heron Sect.

"Let's search around and see if there are any dao realm demon beasts nearby."

Xu Ning said.

Demon beasts did not live densely on this island, as dao realm demon beasts had their own territory.

Xu Ning raised his perception to the extreme and began to search nearby.

Roar!

Suddenly, a terrifying roar came from the distance.

Immediately after, the ground shook.

"What's the commotion?"

Xu Ning and the other two climbed up a mountain and looked in that direction.

"Such a huge demon beast!"

After seeing it clearly, Xu Ning, Gray and Cyan's expressions changed slightly.

It was a standing demon beast. It was more than a hundred meters tall and was covered in scales. On its back was a row of dense thorns.

Its eyes were dark yellow, its mouth was protruding, and there were three rows of sharp teeth in its mouth.

The back limbs of the demon beast, which stood on the ground, were extremely thick, but its front limbs were extremely slender, making it look a little uncoordinated.

In front of it, several flying demon beasts were flying all over it, and on the backs of each flying demon beast, people could be seen sitting on them.

In the distance, the people could be seen panicking as they controlled the flying demon beasts. It was as if they wanted to leave quickly.

"An Armored Thornback Beast! And an adult one at that!"

Xu Ning felt a violent aura coming from afar.

Xu Ning recognized the demon beast immediately.

An adult Armored Thornback Beast was a high level dao realm demon beast.

This Armored Thornback Beast was also a demon beast with a top-tier bloodline, second only to an apex demon beast, similar to Gray and Cyan.

'That group of people should be under Mo Lan!

Xu Ning thought to himself, 'They must have alerted this Armored Thornback Beast while searching for the Night Beast, causing them to be pursued! 'This Armored Thornback Beast has a fiery temper. It seems that they won't be able to escape.' As Xu Ning was thinking, he saw the beast's claw smashing down.

Although its forelimbs looked slender, they contained a lot of power.

A single slap turned the person that was riding a flying demon beast into a bloody mist.

'How terrifying!

Xu Ning was a little flustered seeing this sight.

"Go, leave quickly."

Xu Ning reminded Cyan and Gray, "If we are discovered by this Armored Thornback Beast, we will definitely be affected. Once that happens, we won't be able to escape." "Okay!"

Gray and Cyan quickly responded.

Whoosh!

However, at this moment.

"Stop!"

A woman's voice exploded like thunder for a radius of a thousand miles.

Even Xu Ning felt his head buzzing.

'What's going on?'

Xu Ning and the other two who were about to escape suddenly noticed a stream of light flying towards them from a distance.

The stream of light flew in front of the Armored Thornback Beast, blocking its attack.

Bang!

The light collided with the Armored Thornback Beast. The result of the collision was the Armored Thornback Beast's front limbs being deflected, causing it to roar in pain.

Immediately afterwards, the light faded, revealing the figure of an old woman.

The old woman stood in the air with a sword in her hand. Her small figure was facing the hundred meter tall body of the Armored Thornback Beast, but her aura was not inferior at all.

'A high level dao realm martial artist!'

Xu Ning's pupils shrank after he got a proper look.

Only a high level master above the seventh stage of the dao realm could truly fly in the air, unlike Xu Ning.

'That old woman should be the top master in the Mo Lan's camp. She is the same as Senior Dong Ji in the Harmony King Mansion's camp. She is their strongest guard for this operation.'

Xu Ning quickly guessed.

'However, generally speaking, a combatant of this level should be stationed at the camp. Why would she take the initiative to come out… Could it be that someone sent out a distress signal? But even then, isn't this rescue speed too fast?'

Xu Ning was a little puzzled.

Because a high level dao realm master had appeared, Xu Ning did not plan to escape. He was ready to observe more. "Go!"

The old woman said to the desperate people.

Afterwards, those people rode their flying demon beasts and quickly left the dangerous place.

The beast stared at the old woman coldly with its dark yellow eyes.

But the old woman was not afraid at all. "I see that you have just become an adult, and you have just advanced to the high level of the dao realm. But since you killed our people, I will make you pay a price." Whoosh!

The sword in the old woman's hand turned into an arc of light, slashing across the body of the Armored Thornback Beast.

Sizzle!

The scales of the Armored Thornback Beast were slashed open, and dark yellow blood flowed out of its body.

'How sharp!'

Xu Ning gasped.

An Armored Thornback Beast was a demon beast that specialized in defense.

But its scales were easily cut by the old woman's sword light. Whoosh!

The Armored Thornback Beast was furious.

It waved its front limbs and swept its tail, attacking the old woman.

However, although its movements were fast, its attacks were still easily dodged.

The Armored Thornback Beast roared again.

It opened its mouth and spat out a yellow liquid.

Xu Ning could smell the acid from far away.

The old woman's expression changed when she saw this, and her figure flashed, barely dodging the attack.

"Take this!"

After dodging that attack, the old woman's movements got even more ruthless.

More and more wounds appeared on the Armored Thornback Beast.

Finally, the Armored Thornback Beast felt its life was in danger. It stopped fighting and turned around to escape.

'What terrifying strength, she can actually defeat an adult Armored Thornback Beast!'

This was the first time Xu Ning had seen a high level dao realm master fight.

Xu Ning felt that the old woman's sword light could easily take his life.

The Armored Thornback Beast was escaping, but the old woman did not chase after it.

She knew very well that even if she could kill this Armored Thornback Beast, she would have to pay a heavy price.

And in this current environment, being seriously injured would be a very dangerous matter. After all, she was also responsible for protecting Princess Mo Lan.

"Hmm?"

After chasing the Armored Thornback Beast away, the old woman was about to leave.

But suddenly, the old woman seemed to sense something and looked in Xu Ning's direction.

'I was noticed!

Xu Ning also noticed the old woman's gaze.

'I was too careless!'

Before this, Xu Ning felt that they were sufficiently distanced, and that all three of their auras were extremely concealed, but it was obvious that he was underestimating a high level dao realm master.

"Quick, enter the Demon Beast Scroll!"

Xu Ning quickly said.

Gray and Cyan reacted quickly and entered the Demon Beast Scroll.

Xu Ning took the Demon Beast Scroll and fled frantically towards the camp of the Harmony King Mansion.

Xu Ning knew very well that the only person who could save him now was Dong Ji, who was also a high level dao realm master.

"Where do you want to escape to?"

However, before he could escape far, the old woman with the sword blocked his path.

Report chapter

Chapter 266 The Potential Danger On The Island

'I'm in trouble!'

Xu Ning was shocked when he saw the old woman appear in front of him.

This old woman was Princess Mo Lan's subordinate. Strictly speaking, she was his enemy.

Xu Ning clenched a crystal in his hand. This crystal was a tool used to request for help. If it was activated after encountering danger, Dong Ji would come and rescue him. Only Duan Chaofeng's trusted subordinates were worthy of having this crystal.

Bang!

Just when Xu Ning was about to activate it, the old woman flicked her finger and a sharp aura shot into Xu Ning's palm.

A bloody hole burst open in Xu Ning's palm.

And the crystal in his hand was shattered.

"Senior, how have I offended you?"

Xu Ning calmed down and ignored his injuries.

He had no strength to fight back against this old woman, so he could only try his best to stay calm.

"You are a subordinate of the Harmony Prince?"

The old woman examined Xu Ning.

"Yes."

Xu Ning was quite calm. The old woman nodded and walked closer to Xu Ning.

'Dao realm fourth stage, core materialization realm, but his foundation is very strong…'

The old woman looked at Xu Ning. 'Moreover, his vitality is extremely vigorous. It is obvious that he is not old. In fact, his current appearance is a display of his true age.' The old woman had figured out Xu Ning's foundation in just this short exchange.

"Good aptitude, come with me to seek refuge with Princess Mo Lan."

The old woman saw through Xu Ning's potential and was about to grab Xu Ning's collar and drag him away.

Xu Ning dodged subconsciously.

However, Xu Ning did not dodge the old woman's hands.

"Working under Princess Mo Lan may not be worse than working under the Harmony Prince."

The old woman smiled and was about to fly into the air.

"Xue Jinghua! How dare you steal the people of our Harmony King Mansion, aren't you afraid that we will pursue this matter?"

Just when Xu Ning was about to be taken away by the old woman, a loud voice came from the distance.

Afterwards, Dong Ji appeared in the scene.

'Senior Dong Ji!'

Xu Ning was relieved to see Dong Ji.

'I couldn't activate the crystal, so why is Senior Dong Ji here?'

Xu Ning was puzzled, but now that Dong Ji was here, his safety should be guaranteed.

Sure enough, after seeing Dong Ji arrive, Xue Jinghua's face froze.

"Dong Ji!"

Xue Jinghua looked at Dong Ji with fear in her eyes.

She knew very well that Dong Ji's strength was at the peak of the seventh stage of the dao realm, and his status in the Harmony King Mansion was also very high.

She didn't have much of a chance against Dong

"What, I'm already here, and you still plan to kidnap the people from the Harmony King Mansion?"

Dong Ji sneered.

Xue Jinghua narrowed her eyes and put Xu Ning down. Xu Ning immediately walked behind Dong Ji.

"Good."

Dong Ji glanced at Xu Ning and noticed that he only had superficial injuries.

Xue Jinghua was a little embarrassed, but she didn't care.

Dong Ji was not here just now, so it was fine if she abducted Xu Ning.

But if Dong Ji was here and she abducted Xu Ning in front of him, it would be a slap to the face of the Harmony King Mansion, and at that point, the nature of her behavior would change.

"Next time, look after your people."

Xue Jinghua glanced at Dong Ji coldly before flying away with her sword. "Thank you, Senior Dong Ji!" After Xue Jinghua left, Xu Ning cupped his fists and thanked Dong Ji.

If Dong Ji hadn't appeared just now and he was brought to Mo Lan, he didn't know what kind of situation he would be in.

Dong Ji smiled and shook his head gently.

As a trusted subordinate of the Harmony King and as a senior, Dong Ji admired Xu Ning.

"How did you end up in her hands?" Dong Ji asked.

Xu Ning explained what had happened.

"I see…"

Dong Ji understood.

"Senior Dong Ji, I didn't activate the crystal, so how did you find me?"

Xu Ning had doubts so he asked.

Dong Ji said, "His Highness asked me to find you." "Why?"

Xu Ning asked.

When they were on other islands, it was normal for individuals or teams to search for the Night Beast and stay outside for a few days before returning to the camp to report what they found.

It had only been less than two days, so why would the prince take the initiative to find someone outside? "Over the past two days, several teams have disappeared from our hands while searching for the Night Beast." Dong Ji's face was a little solemn. "Even Zhuo Weisong is gone." "This was found out by Zhang He when he noticed that something was wrong."

Dong Ji said, "While searching for the Night Beast, he passed by other teams. But when he wanted to backtrack and exchange information with them, Zhang He found out that the other team was gone."

"After some investigation, he couldn't find where the missing people went, so he returned to the camp and reported this matter. Afterwards, His Highness began to recall his people. After asking each other, we also discovered that Zhuo Weisong was missing." "Because of this, His Highness was worried about your safety, so he asked me to come and find you. I just didn't expect you to go so far." "That really happened?"

The corner of Xu Ning's eyes twitched. "Did Princess Mo Lan make her move?"

"No."

Dong Ji responded, "According to our sources, people have also disappeared from Princess Mo Lan's side. Xue Jinghua was out here probably because she wanted to call back the members that were out and about."

"Is that so…"

Xu Ning was alert.

"There should be a hidden danger on this island…"

Dong Ji's eyes narrowed.

"Come, let's go back to the camp first."

Dong Ji grabbed Xu Ning and flew back to the camp.

He had to protect Duan Chaofeng during this trip. If he hadn't come to find Xu Ning, he wouldn't have left Duan Chaofeng's side at all.

Dong Ji, who was in the seventh stage of the dao realm, flew extremely fast in the air, not much slower than flying demon beasts of the same realm.

"Your Highness, I brought him back."

Soon after, Dong Ji brought Xu Ning to Duan Chaofeng.

Duan Chaofeng was relieved, but after seeing Xu Ning's injuries, he raised his eyebrows. "You are injured?"

Dong Ji explained Xu Ning's experience.

"Mo Lan's people are already this arrogant…" Duan Chaofeng's expression was a little ugly.

However, he also knew that this was not the time to seek justice. He still had other important matters to deal with. "Your Highness."

Zhang He also came back from his excursion.

"Except for a few people who are searching for traces of the missing teams, everyone else has been summoned back."

Zhang He reported to Duan Chaofeng. "How many people have we lost on this island?"

Duan Chaofeng asked.

"A total of thirty-seven people from the mansion, including Zhuo Weisong, have disappeared. A total of ten of the Master Tamers have disappeared."

Zhang He responded.

Duan Chaofeng's expression was serious.

This loss was not small.

If Zhuo Weisong was missing and couldn't be found before the return trip, it would be difficult to explain to his father, Zhuo Cengyun.

Like Dong Ji, Zhuo Cengyun was one of the people that the Harmony King trusted the most.

Although Zhuo Cengyun would definitely not dare to take his anger out on him, this matter would definitely not pass by easily.

In addition to that, ten Master Tamers were missing

The Master Tamers recruited this time were not only the top tamers of State Guqing, but also people from the nearby states.

There were less than fifty of them in total, and less than two days after arriving on the island, more than a quarter of them had disappeared.

"Your Highness, this must have been done by some creatures on the island… maybe even by the Night Beast…"

At this moment, Dong Ji said.

"Oh?"

Duan Chaofeng looked at Dong Ji.

"According to our previous understanding, the disappearance of these teams did not leave any traces. This means that the mastermind behind this is either extremely powerful and can kill all the missing teams in one blow without making a sound, preventing them from asking for help…" "Either that… or their methods are extremely special, being able to annihilate or take them away on the spot…" Dong Ji responded, "And the ability of the Night Beast coincides with the second possibility…"

"Moreover, the Night Beast is said to be an expert in weaving the night." Dong Ji said, "Its ability is to make human masters or other demon beasts sink into the endless night imperceptibly…" "Hsss…"

Duan Chaofeng took a deep breath. "You mean, the Night Beast has appeared?"

"Very likely."

Dong Ji looked confident.

Hearing this, Duan Chaofeng's expression changed slightly.

"If this is the case, then this Night Beast is very strong…"

Zhang He frowned. "Your Highness, your safety…"

"With Senior Dong here, I don't have to worry about my safety."

Duan Chaofeng said, "If I encounter any danger, I can hide in Senior Dong's spatial secret treasure. With him here, it won't be a major problem."

"But the Night Beast is really terrifying…"

Zhang He was still a little worried.

"It's true that the Night Beast has special abilities, but it is only in the mid level of the dao realm."

Dong Ji said, "I am a high level dao realm seventh stage master. It has no chance of winning against me… Otherwise, it would not just attack those lone teams, but our camp directly."

Dong Ji's words directly assumed that the culprit was the Night Beast. Dong Ji's words made Zhang He and the others feel slightly relieved.

As long as Dong Ji was here, everyone's safety would be guaranteed.

"In this case, let's all guard the camp first."

Duan Chaofeng said, "Let's wait for our men to come back and give us some clues before we act…"

After confirming that the Night Beast had likely appeared, Duan Chaofeng was both cautious and expectant. The goal of this trip might be right in front of him.

Just when Duan Chaofeng was about to disperse the crowd, a guard rushed in.

"Your Highness!"

The guard reported anxiously, "There is news from the front that they have discovered the belongings of a missing person!"

"What?"

The expressions of the people present changed.

'Are they truly this efficient…'

Xu Ning was a little confused.

Those people had clearly just disappeared and there were no clues at the scene, so how did he find their belongings?

Report chapter

Chapter 267 Night Beast Appears

Xu Ning was not the only one who felt strange. The others were also puzzled.

"There was no trace left behind when they disappeared, but we found their belongings as soon as we began searching. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"

Zhang He spoke bluntly.

After Zhang He finished speaking, the others all fell silent.

"Senior Dong, what do you think?"

Duan Chaofeng asked Dong Ji.

"We have to take a look."

Dong Ji said, "Whether this is suspicious or not, we have to see it with our own eyes."

"Who's going?"

Duan Chaofeng asked again. "I'll go."

Zhang He took the initiative to volunteer. "Except for Master Dong, I am the strongest here."

In Zhang He's heart, Duan Chaofeng's safety was the top priority, and Dong Ji had to take care of his safety.

Duan Chaofeng pondered for a moment. "Senior Dong, go."

"Zhang He, you are not in the high level of the dao realm. If you encounter any trouble, it will be difficult to resolve."

Duan Chaofeng was also worried about Zhang He's safety. "If our previous guess is that the missing people were attacked by the Night Beast, then the Night Beast might be hiding near their belongings."

"You are definitely not its opponent."

Zhang He was Duan Chaofeng's most important confidant. No one else could replace him.

"But if Senior Dong went, your safety…"

Zhang He felt that there was a hidden danger on this island.

"It's fine."

Duan Chaofeng said, "I will go with Senior Dong. With Senior Dong by my side, there is no need to worry about my safety."

"You will go personally?" Zhang He was about to stop him. Dong Ji was also a little cautious. "Don't worry too much, I also want to personally participate in the capture of the Night Beast."

Duan Chaofeng looked at Dong Ji. "Senior Dong, what do you think?"

"Sure."

Dong Ji finally nodded. "If you encounter any danger, I can put Your Highness into my spatial treasure. In times of danger, I can just take you and leave."

Because Duan Chaofeng and Dong Ji agreed on this matter, the other trusted subordinates had to follow.

The prince was going to the frontlines, so they couldn't be resting in the backlines.

"Let's go."

Duan Chaofeng said.

"Yes!"

Everyone, including Xu Ning, responded.

"Your Highness, here!"

The group was led by the guards to a place full of weeds.

'What a bleak feeling…'

Xu Ning looked over and saw a half-meter tall patch of weeds swaying in the wind.

Although there were not a lot of demon beasts on this island, their levels were relatively high, and the vitality of the plants was extremely vigorous.

Thus, it was rare to see such a lifeless patch of land.

"This is the blade of our mansion guards." The guard who discovered the missing items pointed them out to them. "Moreover, there are also the pill bottles that the Master Tamers lost."

Sure enough, there were items scattered nearby.

"These things don't seem to have been lost unintentionally." Zhang He said, "It seems like they were deliberately thrown here."

"That's right."

Xu Ning agreed.

"Be careful."

Dong Ji reminded, "I feel that these lost items are bait to lure us here."

Dong Ji's words made everyone feel the same.

Just when he was about to search for other clues.

On the other side of the wilderness, a group of people also rushed over.

Xu Ning saw Xue Jinghua at the forefront of the group. "Hmm?"

Duan Chaofeng looked into the distance and saw Mo Lan in the crowd. "Mo Lan is here too…"

Duan Chaofeng raised his eyebrows. "Could they be speculating the same thing as us, suspecting that the Night Beast has appeared, so they sent their elites to capture it?"

"Your Highness, when we were searching for traces of the missing people, we also met with Princess Mo Lan's people here. They were also searching for their missing people."

The guard who went on the search just now said to Duan Chaofeng.

"Is that so…"

Duan Chaofeng nodded.

His guess was correct.

Mo Lan also believed that the missing people were either attacked or abducted by the Night Beast.

"Duan Chaofeng!"

On the other side, Mo Lan also noticed the people from the Harmony King Mansion.

Duan Chaofeng didn't plan to pay attention to Mo Lan, but Mo Lan took the initiative to walk over.

'So this is Princess Mo Lan…'

Xu Ning looked at the woman in a male outfit and thought to himself, 'Just like Duan Chaofeng, she has the temperament of a superior. She is obviously a member of the royal family.'

"I haven't seen you in years, but you are still like this."

Mo Lan's words sounded like small talk, but her tone was a little aggressive.

"There is no need to beat around the bush. We are all here for the Night Beast."

Duan Chaofeng had no intention of making small talk. He was indifferent to Mo Lan's attitude.

Mo Lan smiled lightly, not caring much. "Duan Chaofeng, according to our inference, the Night Beast might be nearby." Mo Lan seemed to have a deeper understanding of the Night Beast. "Maybe when we first stepped onto this island, the Night Beast had already targeted us."

"Moreover, the Night Beast is extremely intelligent, and it is extremely alert and vengeful. The Night Beast must have noticed our movements over the past two days. It must have sensed our malice, causing it to launch a sneak attack on us."

"Why are you telling me this? Do you expect us to form an alliance?"

Duan Chaofeng was not polite to Mo Lan at all.

"I don't dare to suggest forming an alliance. I just feel that as members of the royal family, there is no need to fight each other. I don't want you to encounter danger here."

Mo Lan's words were quite tame.

However, Duan Chaofeng sneered and ignored her.

"People of the Harmony King Mansion, search for traces of the Night Beast nearby."

Duan Chaofeng turned around and ordered the others.

"Yes."

The people from the Harmony King Mansion stopped gathering and began to divide their work.

"The people from the Promise King Mansion, let's begin as well."

Mo Lan shook her head when she saw Duan Chaofeng's indifference and said to the people around her.

Just like that, the two sides watched each other cautiously while searching separately.

On a mountain in the distance.

Several figures were secretly watching them.

"Master Chu He, your aura concealment secret treasure is indeed powerful."

Lie Ying was the one who spoke.

These people were the gray-robed people who had arrived at the island at the same time as both the factions.

Not long after they arrived at this archipelago, they also discovered the forces of the Harmony King Mansion and Mo Lan.

They also learned that both sides had the same goal as them to find the Night Beast.

However, even though they knew the identity of their competitors, these gray-robed people were not afraid at all.

This was because their strength was not weak. The leader, who was called Master Chu He, was also a high level dao realm master.

The others, including the Master Tamer Lie Ying, were all either dao realm sixth stage or fifth stage masters. But even with this kind of strength, they were still very cautious when searching for the Night Beast.

Every time they moved, Chu He would personally lead them, and while doing so, he also used a top-notch aura concealment secret treasure to hide their auras.

This made Duan Chaofeng's camp and Princess Mo Lan's camp unaware that there was another powerful and patient group of opponents near them.

"Lie Ying, are you sure that the Night Beast is going to appear?"

Chu He took the initiative to ask Lie Ying next to him. "Probably." Lie Ying responded, "The disappearance of their people is most likely caused by the Night Beast. The Night Beast is extremely vengeful, and it does not show mercy to those who can threaten it."

Chu He nodded. He trusted the words of Lie Ying, who was a Master Tamer.

"There is just one thing I don't understand."

Lie Ying said, "These two groups of people were obviously lured here. The Night Beast is only in the mid level of the dao realm. Even if it wants to eliminate all the enemies that pose a threat to it, it is impossible."

"Let's wait and see."

Chu He said, "Once the Night Beast is about to appear, then the two sides will definitely compete for it. At that time, we will take advantage of the chaos and snatch it." "Mmm…"

Lie Ying nodded.

At this moment, the people from both Duan Chaofeng's faction and Mo Lan's faction were still wandering around the wilderness.

Suddenly.

A strange voice echoed in everyone's ears.

The voice was soft, but it had a bewitching power, making people's emotions a little gloomy. 'What's happening?'

Xu Ning suddenly felt a sense of danger.

Whoosh!

A black light suddenly appeared and spread out with a radius of a thousand meters in the wilderness.

This black light enveloped everyone on Duan Chaofeng's side and Mo Lan's side.

'Not good!'

Dong Ji's expression changed.

"Your Highness, go!" Dong Ji ignored the others and grabbed Duan Chaofeng's shoulder, wanting to take him out of the black light.

But when he reached the edge of the black light, a black semi-transparent light curtain suddenly appeared, then it curved upwards, forming a dome at the top, quickly sealing the entire space.

"Ha!"

Fist light suddenly appeared in Dong Ji's hand as he punched the black light curtain, but it was useless.

A ripple appeared on the black light curtain, but no cracks appeared.

"We are trapped!" Xu Ning also saw how Dong Ji couldn't break the black light curtain.

If even Dong Ji couldn't escape, then he definitely couldn't either.

"Princess, we are trapped!" On the other side, Xue Jinghua was also shocked. She protected Mo Lan by her side.

"Everyone come here!"

Dong Ji gathered the people from the Harmony King Mansion and built up their forces. Xu Ning also followed them. "Look!"

Suddenly, someone pointed to the air.

A flying black shadow gradually descended from the area outside of the black light and penetrated through the black light barrier.

It was a slender monster that was more than ten meters long and had more than a dozen black insect-like feet.

Its head had a triangular shape with a spike on it.

Its dim blue eyes revealed a cold gaze.

Black air currents circled around its body.

"The Night Beast!"

At this instant, everyone's hearts trembled.

Chapter 268 Sinking, Duan Chaofeng Moved

"The Night Beast has really appeared! It's just that…"

Outside the black light area, Chu He, Lie Ying and others looked inside in surprise.

They were not far from the edge of the black light curtain.

If they had been a little bit closer, they would have been enveloped by the black light.

"This Night Beast is not in the mid level of the dao realm, but in the high level of the dao realm!"

Chu He looked surprised.

When he heard the news of the appearance of the Night Beast, sources had described it as a mid level dao realm beast.

But now, it seemed that this news was false. Or maybe, after this news spread, the Night Beast broke through to the high level of the dao realm.

Either way, it was not good news for the people wanting to capture the Night Beast.

"Although a high level dao realm Night Beast hasn't fully matured to its peak, it is already an adult… An adult Night Beast is not only terrifying because of its advancement in realm, but also because of its special ability. For example, once we get trapped into this black light curtain in front of me, it should be very difficult to get out…" "As an apex demon beast, a human master or other demon beast in the same realm as this Night Beast is no match for it…"

Chu He's eyes were full of fear, but he also felt a little lucky.

If it weren't for the fact that he had a treasure that could hide his aura, he would have definitely been discovered by the Night Beast.

"Master Chu He, what should we do?"

At this moment, another gray-robed man asked Chu He, "Should we leave this place?"

Chu He frowned, as if he was weighing his options.

"We'll wait and see!"

Chu He said, "As long as we don't take the initiative to do anything, the Night Beast will not notice us. If those two groups can seriously injure the Night Beast, we may still have a chance to take advantage of it. Even if they don't, we can hide our aura and leave at any time."

Afterwards, several people looked at the area covered in black light.

"This Night Beast is in the high level of the dao realm!"

In the black light curtain, Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua, who were the strongest, were the first to sense the strength of the Night Beast.

"Is there a mistake in the information, or has the Night Beast just recently advanced?"

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua both felt a strong sense of discomfort after looking at the Night Beast.

"Senior Dong, let His Highness enter the spatial treasure!"

Zhang He reminded anxiously. Dong Ji reacted and quickly activated his spatial treasure.

However, Dong Ji's expression changed. "Not good!"

"What's wrong, Senior Dong?"

Zhang He quickly asked.

"This black light curtain is a temporary independent space created by the Night Beast!"

Dong Ji's expression turned ugly.

If he couldn't put Duan Chaofeng into the spatial treasure, then the risk of him getting injured or even dying would be extremely high.

'Temporary independent space?'

Xu Ning was shocked.

He also tested it and discovered that he couldn't hide in the Hidden Moon Bead.

He could come out of another independent space, but he couldn't enter it.

'It seems that this is going to be troublesome…'

Xu Ning took out the Cyan Wolf Knife and clenched it in his hand.

Although Xu Ning was facing the Night Beast, Xu Ning did not have the strength to resist its pressure.

"Zhang He!"

Dong Ji was decisive. "Protect His Highness!"

"Okay!"

Zhang He placed Duan Chaofeng behind him.

"Xue Jinghua!"

Afterwards, Dong Ji flashed and appeared in front of Xue Jinghua, who was protecting Princess Mo Lan.

"The situation is critical right now. We have to abandon our prejudices and join forces to deal with this Night Beast!"

Dong Ji took the initiative to collaborate.

"Okay!"

Xue Jinghua immediately agreed. "Guards, take good care of Her Highness!"

"Yes!"

Several mid-level dao realm masters, including Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang, surrounded Mo Lan.

They all knew very well that once something happened to Mo Lan, even if they could escape from the black light, their future would be very tragic.

He he he.

Suddenly, weird sounds came from the Night Beast's throat.

Immediately after, the black fog around it started to spread, eventually becoming dense, turning into blade-waving bug demon beasts.

At the same time, everyone present felt their vision gradually turning black.

The weakest people in this black light curtain were void realm martial artists, so it had been a long time since they experienced the feeling of their vision being obstructed.

The weaker one was, the faster the darkness spread in front of their eyes.

Whoosh!

The bug-shaped demon beasts formed by the black fog rushed towards the crowd in the black light.

"Protect His Highness!"

Zhang He roared.

A large number of guards and trusted aides gathered around Duan Chaofeng.

On the other side, Mo Lan was also specially protected.

However, although everyone wanted to protect the prince and the princess, some people were powerless to do so.

This was because most of the void realm martial artists' vision had been completely drowned by darkness, and their voices were also taken away. 'Our sensory perception has been greatly affected!

Xu Ning possessed a deep foundation and great strength. Although he was also affected, he was not completely stripped of his perception.

'I have to resist this interference at all times. If my perception is completely seized, I will really be in a desperate situation!'

Looking at the bugs flying at him, Xu Ning was ready to face the enemy.

Bang! Bang! Bang! A large group of bug beasts rushed towards him.

Xu Ning stepped forward and crushed several bug beasts into smoke.

He, Zhang He, and the other three trusted aides of the heir surrounded Duan Chaofeng to prevent him from being hurt.

"Your Highness, are you okay?"

Zhang He asked Duan Chaofeng.

"My perception is a little affected, but it's not a big problem!"

Duan Chaofeng was also trying his best to resist the interference.

"That's good."

Zhang He was a little relieved. "However, you still have to be careful. The power of interference is getting stronger and stronger. You have to maintain a firm will at all times, otherwise you will be swallowed by the darkness!"

Swoosh!

A guard in front of Xu Ning was slashed by the bug beast.

The guard fell to the ground with one strike.

However, there were no wounds on his body.

"Hmm?"

Xu Ning also noticed this. 'After being hit by the blade on that bug's feet, the victim did not die, but the black fog on the blade was injected into his body. If I'm not wrong, the black fog entering his body should have accelerated the spread of the interference, depriving him of all his perception, causing him to completely fall into darkness!

Xu Ning suddenly became alert.

He couldn't be hurt by these bug beasts when he fought them.

Otherwise, he would sink even faster.

While Xu Ning and the others were resisting the bug beasts, Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua, two high level dao realm seventh stage masters, joined forces to attack the Night Beast.

Whoosh!

Xue Jinghua controlled her flying sword and turned it into a silver light, slashing at the Night Beast.

Dong Ji also threw punches into the air, his terrifying fist force smashing towards the Night Beast.

However, the Night Beast was extremely agile, easily dodging the incoming attacks.

While dodging, it spat out black liquid from its mouth.

Xue Jinghua and Dong Ji dodged away, but the black liquid landed on the ground and splashed onto the bodies of the people nearby. Even if it were only a few drops, the victims would immediately lose consciousness.

Instantly, the black light curtain was filled with fights all around.

Whoosh!

After several exchanges, Xu Ning was slashed by the insect beast multiple times.

Every time the black fog entered his body, the darkness in front of Xu Ning's eyes became stronger and the closer he got to the edge of sinking

'Once this black fog enters my body, it can't be forced out at all…'

Xu Ning felt a sense of danger. 'And the number of bug beasts is increasing.'

"Xu Ning, can you hold on?".

Zhang He shouted at Xu Ning.

Zhang He had also been slashed countless times, and his consciousness was already in a daze.

If it weren't for his firm will to protect Duan Chaofeng, he would have died long ago.

Only Zhang He and Xu Ning were left in front of Duan Chaofeng, while the rest of the guards and other trusted aides had their consciousness swallowed by the darkness and fell to the ground. "I can hold on!"

Xu Ning gritted his teeth.

"You two…"

Duan Chaofeng had a complicated expression when he saw Zhang He and Xu Ning struggling to protect him.

Another bug beast flew over. Whoosh!

This time, Duan Chaofeng took the initiative to stand in front of Xu Ning and Zhang He.

He held a silver knife and slashed the bug beast into a cloud of smoke.

"Your Highness, retreat!"

Zhang He quickly shouted.

Xu Ning looked at Duan Chaofeng in surprise. He didn't expect Duan Chaofeng to take the initiative to protect them. "At this point, let's not talk about who should be protecting who!"

Duan Chaofeng said loudly.

Just now, the scene of Zhang He, Xu Ning, and others risking their lives to protect him made Duan Chaofeng extremely moved.

Especially Xu Ning, who was obviously only in the fourth stage of the dao realm, but blocked the swarm of bug beasts for him.

Zhang He and the others had followed him for a long time, so it was reasonable for them to fight for him.

But Xu Ning had only been with him for a short time, and he was already showing such an attitude, which made Duan Chaofeng feel warm.

He was already thinking that if he could safely return to State Wansheng, he would definitely reward Xu Ning greatly and promote his status, making him a vassal of the mansion. Seeing Duan Chaofeng's fearless attitude, Xu Ning felt that although Duan Chaofeng was a prince, he was not arrogant and cold. He was sincere to the people around him.

Although Xu Ning was temporarily under Duan Chaofeng's command, but because of the existence of the Martial Arts Panel, Xu Ning knew how high his limit was in the future, so he wouldn't really submit to him.

Xu Ning regarded Duan Chaofeng as a dealer. He would help Xu Ning and Xu Ning would merely repay him for the help given.

But now, when Duan Chaofeng took the initiative to stand in front of him and Zhang He, Xu Ning had already promoted his status in his mind to a friend he could get to know.

Chapter 269 Escape, Return

"We can't deal with this Night Beast at all!"

Xue Jinghua was anxious.

While Xu Ning and the others were resisting the bug beast swarm, Dong Ji, Xue Jinghua, and the Night Beast were fighting fiercely.

The two were helpless against the Night Beast, as it was receiving an enormous boost in strength when it was in the black light.

"We have to find another way!" Dong Ji transmitted to Xue Jinghua as he dodged the Night Beast's attacks.

"We can't defeat this Night Beast. Since this is the case, let's break through this black light curtain first!"

Dong Ji said with a voice transmission, "But according to my observations, even if this black light curtain is damaged, it will be repaired by the Night Beast. Therefore, the moment we break it, we have to leave with our family's prince and princess!"

"But how do we break through this black light curtain?"

Xue Jinghua asked.

"Bring out our trump cards. If we attack together, there is a high chance of breaking this black light curtain!"

Dong Ji responded.

"Okay!"

Xue Jinghua knew that there was no better way, so she could only try.

Afterwards, the two communicated and confirmed their positions.

Whoosh!

Bang!

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua first punched and slashed, forcing the Night Beast to retreat.

Then, the power of the dao realm then surged in Dong Ji's body.

A mysterious heptagonal symbol condensed behind him, emitting a dazzling white light.

Xue Jinghua also cut her palm, covering the sword in her blood.

Immediately, a blurry sword apparition appeared behind her. Boom!

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua attacked the black light curtain at the same time.

The black light curtain trembled, then a huge hole was created. "We did it!"

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua were overjoyed.

Although the two of them had overdrawn their potential and exhausted their bodies, after seeing the black light curtain break, they rushed towards Duan Chaofeng and Mo Lan.

"Your Highness, let's go!"

Dong Ji instantly flew in front of Duan Chaofeng, Xu Ning, and Zhang He.

After seeing that there were only three people left awake in the Harmony King Mansion's entourage, Dong Ji carried all three of them and rushed towards the hole in the black light curtain.

At this moment, the black light curtain had begun to repair and shrink under the control of the Night Beast.

The Night Beast also began to chase after them.

Xu Ning had activated the Wind Smoke Gourd and the will of the cyan wolf in the Cyan Wolf Knife to deal with this predicament.

He thought that this would be an irrecoverable situation, but he didn't expect that Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua would join forces to tear apart the black light curtain.

"We are out!"

The moment the black light curtain was sealed, Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua came out with their people. Dong Ji brought Duan Chaofeng, Xu Ning, and Zhang He. On the other side, Xue Jinghua brought out Mo Lan, Cen Yumou, and Liang Tingang

Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang should have fallen and sank inside the black light curtain.

However, when Mo Lan saw that the two sects had suffered heavy losses this time, she took care of the two of them, preventing them from falling into darkness and brought them out together.

The moment they left the black light curtain, Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua put them into their spatial treasure at the same time.

"The Night Beast has stopped chasing us!"

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua looked back.

The moment they rushed out of the black light curtain, the Night Beast stopped moving. The Night Beast looked at them with its cold eyes, but it no longer chose to chase after them.

"The mistake in the information this time really made us suffer heavy losses. When we return to the mansion, I'm going to kill the guy who delivered the information!"

Xue Jinghua's tone was cold.

Dong Ji glanced at her without saying anything.

After all, the news was secretly obtained from the Promise King Mansion.

"What should we do next?"

Xue Jinghua took the initiative to ask Dong Ji.

The predicament just now forced them to cooperate.

"Leave this island and return to State Wansheng!"

Dong Ji immediately made a decision.

"Let's return together!"

Xue Jinghua suggested.

"Sure."

Dong Ji agreed.

They all knew very well that compared to the strength of the groups before the two sides arrived here, they had both suffered immense casualties.

Especially Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua as they had both overdrawn their strength just now. The Endless Sea was full of dangers, so the most important thing now was to continue to work together to protect the prince and the princess.

Afterwards, Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua quickly fled to the sea.

Inside the black light curtain.

After letting Dong Ji, Xue Jinghua, and the others go, the Night Beast looked at the people who had fallen into the darkness and lost consciousness. It activated its bloodline power again.

Whoosh!

The black light curtain dissipated, turning into a black fog that covered a thousand meters.

The black fog picked up the people lying on the ground and gathered them around the Night Beast, condensing into a hundred meter dome.

After that, the Night Beast flapped its wings and disappeared into the distance along with the black fog.

In the distance, Chu He and the others who were hiding in the dark were already sweating.

'This Night Beast is so strong!

Chu He and the others, who had been concealed by the secret treasure and were observing everything that was happening in the black light curtain, had all witnessed the terrifying strength and the strange abilities of the Night Beast.

'Black Light Zone, Black Fog Bug Beast, Night Depravity… How many abilities does this Night Beast have? The six apex demon beasts, this is too terrifying…'

Before watching the battle, Chu He wanted to wait until both sides were injured before taking advantage of the situation.

But now, Chu He no longer wanted to capture this Night Beast.

In Chu He's opinion, if they wanted to capture or kill this adult Night Beast, one had to be at least in the eighth stage or even the ninth stage of dao realm.

If this Night Beast were to mature to its peak, unless a large number of dao realm ninth stage masters surrounded it, or if a legendary grandmaster took action, no one would be its opponent.

"The bloodline of an apex demon beast is truly terrifying…"

Lie Ying sighed and looked at Chu He. "Master Chu He, what should we do next?"

Chu He almost didn't hesitate. "We have to get out of here. We are no match for this Night Beast."

"However…"

Chu He changed the topic. "We have been preparing for this trip for a long time. It is a shame to give up like this. Although we can't capture the Night Beast, we have other prey…"

A cold light appeared in Chu He's eyes.

Lie Ying suddenly realized. "Master Chu He, we are going to attack the people of the Harmony King Mansion and the Promise King Mansion?"

"That's right."

Chu He's eyes flashed. "The people from the Harmony King Mansion and the Promise King Mansion have been greatly injured in the previous fight with the Night Beast, and now their overall strength has been greatly reduced. According to my observation just now, the two high level dao realm masters who escaped were both injured. Moreover, the few of us are in our best condition, so it is not difficult to deal with them."

"Plus, those two prince and princess must have a lot of good stuff on them."

Chu He stopped talking. "Get ready to chase after them!"

On the Endless Sea.

A giant ship departed from the edge of the island, sailing alone on the sea.

This was their transportation tool used to escape back to State Wansheng.

Compared to when they came here grandiosely with two fleets, the current sight was quite desolate.

Xu Ning and the others had been released from the spatial treasure and were currently on the ship.

However, they all consciously separated themselves from the people of the Promise King Mansion.

Although they were forced to cooperate, Duan Chaofeng and Mo Lan still did not shake hands and make up due to their past grudges.

'The sensory deprivation on my body has finally subsided…'

Xu Ning, who was in the cabin, finally felt relieved.

After coming out of the black light curtain, the force began to gradually fade.

Xu Ning hadn't experienced such a life-and-death crisis in a long time. When he thought back to what had just happened, he felt a little scared.

"Xu Ning!" The door of the cabin room Xu Ning was in was pushed open and Zhang He walked in.

Zhang He had recovered a lot. Although he was still injured, the power of deprivation in his body had also disappeared.

"This is from His Highness."

Zhang He handed Xu Ning a storage ring. "These are some pills His Highness took from his spatial secret treasure for you to heal your injuries."

"I really have to thank His Highness."

Xu Ning didn't stand on ceremony. He took the ring and checked it.

"This many?"

Xu Ning sensed that a large number of medicinal pills and resources were stored in this storage ring. He roughly estimated that it would amount to more than 2 million units of energy if he turned them all into energy.

"His Highness is too generous. These pills can heal my current injuries a hundred times over."

Xu Ning responded.

In the battle just now, apart from the power of deprivation, he did not suffer much injuries.

"This is because the resources carried by His Highness are limited… His Highness said that when we return to the mansion, he will reward you greatly!" After surviving the disaster, Zhang He felt relieved.

After experiencing this crisis, Zhang He's understanding of martial arts had improved again, which also shortened the time it would take for him to advance to the seventh stage of the dao realm.

"Xu Ning, in the black light curtain, your performance was noticed by His Highness. If I'm not wrong, after returning to the mansion, in addition to the resources, His Highness will definitely promote your status!"

When Zhang He said this, he was happy for Xu Ning.

He had known Xu Ning for a while, so he had a good impression of Xu Ning.

Especially after fighting side by side and experiencing a life-and-death crisis together, the friendship between the two had deepened.

"Thank you for your blessings, Brother Zhang!" Xu Ning chuckled.

Xu Ning unconsciously changed his way of addressing Zhang He.

In fact, Xu Ning was not interested in improving his status, but after his status improved, the Swallow Heron Sect would also benefit in turn.

After the Swallow Heron Sect opened up the resources trading channels, the resources gathered by the Swallow Heron Sect would also provide back to him.

This way, he would also indirectly gain practical benefits.

Although the Harmony King Mansion suffered a lot from this operation, Xu Ning and Zhang He gained more than they gave.

It could be said that Xu Ning and Zhang He were the few beneficiaries of this mission.

Report chapter

Chapter 270 Rebel

"By the way, Xu Ning…"

Zhang He seemed to remember something. "Do you know who those two people next to Princess Mo Lan are?"

"Who are they?"

Xu Ning asked.

He had noticed Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang next to Mo Lan, but he didn't know their identities.

"Those two are the Pavilion Master of the Wind Parasol Pavilion, Cen Yumou, and the Sect Master of the Green Edge Sect, Liang Tingang."

Zhang He whispered. "Hmm?"

Xu Ning's pupils shrank when he heard this and his eyes revealed a hint of coldness.

Those two were the enemies of the Swallow Heron Sect.

Xu Ning didn't expect that the leaders of the Swallow Heron Sect, the Wind Parasol Pavilion, and the Green Edge Sect would encounter each other in this situation.

"The Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect had paid a heavy price in this operation."

Zhang He said, "The foundation of those two sects has been seriously damaged. In their current condition, they are no longer opponents of the Swallow Heron Sect."

Xu Ning nodded silently.

Ever since he became the next sect master of the Swallow Heron Sect, Xu Ning had taken the matter of taking revenge on the two sects seriously.

Zhang He noticed the change in Xu Ning's expression.

He reminded, "I'm only saying this to help you identify your enemies, not for you to take revenge. After all, Princess Mo Lan is still on the ship. If you target the two of them, Princess Mo Lan will be embarrassed."

"Brother Zhang, don't worry, I know what to

do."

Xu Ning responded.

Zhang He nodded. "The Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect have lost a lot of elites this time, so Princess Mo Lan will definitely not put them in an important position in the future. When Princess Mo Lan no longer covers for them and they lose their only backer, with the prestige of His Highness, it will be easy to deal with them."

Afterwards, Zhang He and Xu Ning talked briefly before he left Xu Ning's room.

"Wind Parasol Pavilion… Green Edge Sect…"

Xu Ning had a look of expectation in his eyes.

After thinking for a while, Xu Ning turned his gaze to the storage ring given to him by Duan Chaofeng.

'I currently have 2.5 million units of energy. If I absorb another 2 million units, I can reach 4.5 million units, which is more than half the required amount to advance to the fifth stage of the dao realm.'

Afterwards, Xu Ning took the storage ring and entered the Hidden Moon Bead.

He took out all the medicinal pills in his storage ring and piled them into a small mountain.

Afterwhich, Xu Ning swallowed some to heal his injuries, while the rest was absorbed by Xu Ning.

This process lasted for less than an hour.

After absorbing 2 million units of energy, Xu Ning came out of the Hidden Moon Bead and communicated with Gray and Cyan in the Demon Beast Scroll.

He also used this opportunity to tell Gray and Cyan everything that happened on the island.

After Gray and Cyan learned how terrifying the Night Beast was, they were both afraid. They had been worried for Xu Ning. They also knew very well that if anything happened to Xu Ning, the Demon Beast Scroll would lose its protection, and the aftershock of the battle would easily destroy it.

If that happened, Gray and Cyan in the Demon Beast Scroll would be completely buried in the space turbulence.

After comforting Gray and Cyan, Xu Ning's minor injuries were basically healed.

He got up and went to find Duan Chaofeng, preparing to thank him for the pills.

At the same time.

Inside another cabin.

Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang looked depressed.

"Brother Liang, we made a huge loss this time…"

Cen Yemou sighed, his tone full of regret. "This time, 90% of the elite disciples from our two sects died here. What is more unacceptable is that the Night Beast was not even captured, causing Princess Mo Lan to not achieve her goal." "In this case, after returning to State Wansheng, forget about moving to State Luzhi, we will even be thrown aside by Princess Mo Lan and not be placed in an important position."

After hearing Cen Yu's words, Liang Tingang had a helpless look on his face.

If they knew this would happen, they wouldn't have made such a bet.

"Yeah… Without Princess Mo Lan as our backer, our two sects…"

Liang Tingang shook his head helplessly.

The room fell silent.

"Brother Liang…"

Suddenly, Cen Yemou said, "When I heard Master Xue Jinghua talk to Princess Mo Lan just now, I learned that the young-looking core materialization realm master next to the Harmony Prince is the current sect master of the Swallow Heron Sect, Xu Ning…"

"Hmm?"

Liang Tingang looked up with a frown.

When the two sides boarded the ship at the same time, they noticed that the Harmony Prince Duan Chaofeng was very close to Xu Ning. He was obviously highly regarded.

When Xu Ning was mentioned, they thought about themselves. For a moment, the two had mixed feelings.

If Princess Mo Lan really abandoned them and Xu Ning was supported by the Harmony Prince, their two sects would face a very precarious situation.

A hundred years ago, they forced the Swallow Heron Sect to disband.

A hundred years later, they might face the same crisis.

"Have our two sects really reached a dead end…"

The two felt hopeless about their sects' future.

"There may be a way out of the dead end."

However, a man's voice suddenly came from the silent room.

Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang's hair stood on end.

They turned their heads and saw a cold-looking man in a gray robe standing at the door.

His face was cold, giving off an unfathomable feeling

"Who are you?!"

The two got up and retreated back.

Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang were both dao realm fifth stage core cleansing realm masters, but this man could approach them without them knowing

This kind of strength was not something even a dao realm sixth stage master could achieve. Thus, this man in front of them had to be a high level dao realm master.

Moreover, Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang also realized another problem.

Not only did the two of them not notice that this gray-robed man had sneaked into their ship, but even Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua, who were in the seventh stage of the dao realm, did not notice.

This made the two nervous. "Don't mind my identity."

The visitor was naturally Chu He. "I just came to ask you two for a favor."

Chu He sat down.

"Did you find the wrong person…" Cen Yumou pretended to be calm. He knew that if this man wanted to kill them, they would have been instantly killed.

"No, I'm here for the two of you."

Chu He said, "I heard the conversation between the two of you just now. In my opinion, you two sect masters have no future. Instead of returning to State Wansheng and facing the decline of your sects, why don't you join us?"

"Join you?"

Liang Tingang was cautious. "May I know who you are?" "Who am I?"

Chu He smiled. "This is not the time for you to understand. When you complete my task for you, you will naturally know my identity."

Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang secretly exchanged looks. No matter how stupid they were, they could sense that the gray-robed man was up to no good. "Sir, our strength is too low, I'm afraid we can't complete your task."

Cen Yemou said cautiously.

He and Liang Tingang did not want to be involved with this person.

"Heh…"

When Chu He heard this, he sneered.

A terrifying pressure suddenly burst out from Chu He's body.

Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang suddenly felt a huge pressure boring down on their bodies.

The two of them felt a strong murderous intent at the same time.

"I'm not discussing it with you."

Chu He slowly got up and said in a cold voice, "Either obey or die."

"This…"

The two finally nodded helplessly under the threat of their survival.

"Sir, what task do you want us to do?"

Liang Tingang asked.

After seeing the two surrender, Chu He restrained his murderous intent.

He took out two palm-sized round stone plates and threw them to the two.

After Liang Tingang and Cen Yumou took it, they glanced at it and saw that it was engraved with light carvings.

There seemed to be a strange power between the lines.

"Throw it at the two high-level masters on your ship when they are distracted." Chu He said. "This…"

Liang Tingang and Cen Yumou's expressions changed. "Sir, how can we do this? They are both in the seventh stage of the dao realm. If we do this in front of them, we will definitely be subdued instantly."

"Don't worry, I will find a way to divert their attention. While they are distracted, you can throw these stone plates at them."

Chu He was confident and had long planned this out.

"Okay."

The two looked hesitant, but in the end, they agreed.

They both knew that this was dangerous, but if they didn't do this, they would lose their heads. "Then I'll wait for your good news." After that, Chu He raised his hand and two qi currents entered their bodies.

Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang suddenly felt a chill in their bodies. An inexplicable force was hidden in their bodies. The two of them knew very well that this was the gray-robed man's handiwork.

If the two of them had any other intentions and did not do as the gray-robed man said, then the power in their bodies would completely erupt and kill the two of them.

After Chu He finished setting up his backup plan, he disappeared into the room.

Liang Tingang and Cen Yemou looked at each other. Their expressions were a little numb in despair.

They hadn't figured out the identity of the gray-robed man yet, but now they had to work for him.

The room was silent again.

Chapter 271 Crisis, Counterattack

Boom! Boom!

On the sea, the giant ship suddenly made a violent sound of a collision.

The entire ship trembled.

'What's happening?' Inside the cabin, Dong Ji opened his eyes.

When he fought against Xue Jinghua, his body was injured, and now he was recuperating.

However, this violent collision woke Dong Ji up from his resting state.

"A sea demon beast is attacking us!"

Right at this moment, Dong Ji also heard a shout from the deck outside the cabin.

Immediately after, Dong Ji felt the aura of a demon beast floating next to the ship.

'It seems that we are being attacked by a demon beast from the Endless Sea!'

Dong Ji didn't think much of it. He just left the room and went to the deck.

He could feel that the aura of the sea demon beast was very strong. It was at the peak of the mid level dao realm. If he let the others on the ship deal with it, it would be difficult to deal with it in a short amount of time.

On the other side, Xue Jinghua also sensed the situation.

She could tell that Cen Yumou was shouting, so she left the cabin and went to the deck.

Afterwards, Xu Ning, Zhang He, Duan Chaofeng, and Mo Lan all rushed to the deck from the cabin.

This collision made them a little uneasy, so they all came up to check the situation.

"It's a sea demon beast!"

As soon as Xu Ning came up, he saw several thick limbs sticking out of the sea and clinging onto the edge of the ship. It was a giant demon beast that looked like a squid. Its tentacles twisted frantically, and its huge body seemed to be squeezing onto the ship. "Let's deal with it together."

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua looked at each other, ready to kill or drive away this squid demon beast at the same time.

"Your Highness, go back. It's just a mid level dao realm demon beast. The two high level masters will definitely be able to easily deal with it."

Zhang He said to Duan Chaofeng.

"Okay."

Duan Chaofeng first thought that the Night Beast was chasing after him, so he was a little nervous.

But after confirming that it was just a sea demon beast that attacked the ship midway, he felt much more at ease.

"Cen Yumou, Liang Tingang, why are you two not resting in the room, but on the deck?"

Mo Lan saw Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang staring at the squid demon beast with a nervous expression.

"We just…"

The two suddenly looked a little uncomfortable after being interrogated like that.

Mo Lan felt strange and was about to ask again.

Yet at this moment, the squid demon beast jumped and landed on the deck.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua first attacked the squid demon beast, while protecting Duan Chaofeng, Mo Lan, and the others.

Whoosh!

The body of the squid demon beast suddenly seemed to be filled with air. Its huge body suddenly expanded.

There was fierce energy accumulating in its body.

"Not good!" Seeing this, Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua's expressions changed at the same time. "It is going to self-destruct!" Boom!

The body of the squid demon beast suddenly exploded.

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua had no time to send the people behind them into the spatial treasure.

With no choice, Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua activated the power of the dao realm at the same time, building a transparent barrier in front of them.

The ship was almost capsized by the terrifying ripples.

However, the people protected by Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua were not injured at all.

However, Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua's auras were a little chaotic.

'What's going on? Why would a mid level dao realm demon beast choose to self-destruct for no reason?'

Xu Ning was hiding behind Dong Ji and was not affected.

However, the extremely violent explosive force made Xu Ning feel a little scared.

The self-destruction of a peak mid level dao realm demon beast was comparable to an ordinary blow from a dao realm seventh stage master.

As a result, the ship was currently full of holes. If they wanted to continue sailing for a long time, they could only change ship. "Senior Dong, are you okay?" Duan Chaofeng asked. Mo Lan also asked Xue Jinghua in concern.

In order to protect the people behind them, and because they were in a hurry to condense the barrier, Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua were slightly injured.

However, this kind of injury could be healed quickly. "It's fine…"

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua both had stable auras as they healed their injuries.

However, Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang looked at each other. Afterwards, while Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua were adjusting their auras, the two threw the round stone plates Chu He had given them.

"Cen Yumou, Liang Tingang, what are you doing?!"

The sudden movements of the two stunned the people around them.

Zhang He was the closest to the two. Thus, he instinctively threw a punch at each of them.

Bang! Bang!

The two flew out and vomited blood.

Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang were in pain, but they did not panic.

Because they had already seen it.

The moment the two stone plates touched Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua, they burst out with a dazzling light. The lines on the stone plates flew out and materialized, instantly binding Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua.

"This is…"

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua also reacted at this moment.

They felt that the rotation speed of the inner core in their bodies had slowed down and their dao realm power was suppressed.

er was

SS

"It's a Binding Lock!"

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua were shocked.

A Binding Lock could suppress the strength of a dao realm master for a short period of time.

Even a high level dao realm master would have their strength suppressed to less than 40%. "You two!"

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua were about to attack Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang.

But at this moment, several gray-robed figures suddenly emerged from the sea and landed on the deck, surrounding them.

And the leader of the group exuded a terrifying aura of the seventh stage dao realm.

From their actions, these people looked hostile.

"Cen Yumou, Liang Tingang! How dare you collude with outsiders!"

Mo Lan was shocked.

She didn't expect that the two people who had always listened to her orders would betray her unknowingly.

They were obviously colluding with these gray-robed men.

"Who are you?"

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua no longer cared about Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang.

They turned their attention to Chu He.

Chu He smiled and did not answer.

He gave Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang a satisfied look, which relieved the two.

Chu He knew that although he had a top-notch concealment treasure that could easily hide his aura, this treasure was not omnipotent. When facing a high level dao realm master, if he took the initiative to attack, the other party would immediately notice him. Therefore, he did not choose to launch a relatively aggressive sneak attack. Instead, he first sneaked onto the ship, colluded with Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang and set up a trap before finally using a Binding Lock on Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua.

In such circumstances, he held a huge advantage.

Therefore, Chu He looked confident right now.

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua suddenly felt something was wrong. 'It seems that the current situation is more troublesome than when I encountered the Night Beast.'

Xu Ning realized that the situation was dangerous.

'These gray-robed people don't seem to have suddenly appeared. They obviously prepared an ambush! That squid demon beast was their trap.'

Xu Ning also sorted out the details. 'While Senior Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua were adjusting their aura, Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang used a Binding Lock on them. They must have communicated with this group of gray-robed people previously!'

It was not only Xu Ning who had come to this conclusion, but the others came to the same conclusion as well.

"Attack!"

Chu He knew that there was a time limit to the Binding Lock, so he did not hesitate. "I will deal with these two dao realm seventh stage masters, you guys go deal with the others!"

Chu He ordered, "Except for the lives of the Harmony Prince and the Promise Princess, kill them all!"

"Yes!"

Behind Chu He, Lie Ying and the other gray-robed men immediately responded.

Excluding Chu He, the leader of the gray-robed men, there were six other men. Three of them were in the sixth stage of the dao realm, while the rest were in the fifth stage.

"You dare to attack the imperial family of State Wansheng, are you not afraid of the serious consequences!?"

Dong Ji's tone was cold.

"Afraid of the consequences?"

Chu He laughed. "Not only will I attack, but I will also capture these two prince and princess and take them to the Duan imperial family in exchange for some benefits!"

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua's hearts turned cold.

The gray-robed people in front of them were extremely aggressive.

Even though they knew the identities of Duan Chaofeng and Mo Lan, they were still fearless.

This meant that these gray-robed people must be from a big overseas faction that was hostile to the Duan imperial family.

"Your Highness, go!"

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua could only let Duan Chaofeng, Mo Lan, and the others escape first.

The two didn't dare to put them into the spatial secret treasure at all. This was because Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua knew that after being restricted by the Binding Lock, they were likely not the gray-robed leader's opponent.

If they were defeated by him, Duan Chaofeng and the others would be easily subdued.

Whoosh!

Bang!

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua took the lead to attack, blocking several gray-robed men.

Duan Chaofeng gritted his teeth when he saw this.

He then released his mount, a rainbow-colored bird, from his spatial treasure. "Go!"

Duan Chaofeng immediately pulled Zhang He, Xu Ning, and even Mo Lan onto the back of the bird.

"Stop them!"

Chu He shouted.

However, the gray-robed men were temporarily stopped by Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua. Seeing this, Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang rushed towards Duan Chaofeng and the others.

They knew that they had no choice but to show their loyalty to Chu He.

"You traitors!"

Mo Lan's face was full of hatred.

Currently, the rainbow-colored bird was already flapping its wings. Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang were intending to attack the wings of the bird, in order to delay their escape.

However, Xu Ning, who was already on the bird, suddenly jumped off the bird.

"Xu Ning, what are you doing?!"

Duan Zhaofeng and Zhang He were shocked.

Xu Ning ignored the two. He knew very well that if the wings of the rainbow-colored bird were injured, they would definitely not be able to escape. In that split second, Xu Ning activated the Wind Smoke Gourd, held the Cyan Wolf Knife, and exploded with his full strength.

Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang did not expect Xu Ning to return and attack them.

Two slashes!

With the terrifying power of the dao realm, Xu Ning killed the two who were already injured and unguarded.

Afterwards, Xu Ning grabbed the storage rings from their bodies. And the moment the rainbow-colored bird took off, he grabbed onto its claws.

Huhuhu!

The rainbow-colored bird flapped its wings and fled into the distance with Duan Chaofeng, Mo Lan, Zhang He, and Xu Ning.

'Well done!'

At that moment, Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua thought that Duan Chaofeng, Mo Lan, and the others would not be able to escape, but they didn't expect Xu Ning to take the initiative to counterattack. With them away, they could fight with peace of mind.

Chapter 272 Dao Realm Fifth Stage, Cleansing

"So useless!"

When Chu He saw Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang stepping forward to stop them, he was very satisfied with their performance.

But unexpectedly, these two were instantly killed in a blink of an eye.

"Chase them!"

Chu He was blocking Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua, freeing the other six gray-robed men.

Immediately after, Lie Ying released two gray-feathered birds from his spatial secret treasure. The six of them rode on them and chased after Xu Ning and the others.

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua were extremely worried when they saw this. But facing Chu He in front of them, they were already injured and their strength was restrained by the Binding Lock. Even if the two joined forces, they were not confident that they could defeat this person in front of them.

"You two are both important officials of the mansion and are both high level masters. You must have a lot of good stuff on you. Since I have this opportunity, I must plunder more good stuff from you!"

A thick chain appeared in Chu He's hand. Gray fog swirled on the surface of the chain. Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! The two sides began to fight. On the other side, Lie Ying led the other five people and chased after Duan Chaofeng and the rest.

"We can't catch up!"

A gray-robed man said to Lie Ying, "Your mount can't catch up to the rainbow-colored bird!"

Lie Ying frowned.

He also knew that Duan Chaofeng's rainbow-colored bird had a higher bloodline level, faster flying, and better endurance. If this continued, they would definitely lose them.

'I have to catch up to them…'

Lie Ying gritted his teeth.

He took out two dark yellow pills, one for the gray-feathered bird under him, and the other for the people on the side to feed the other gray-feathered bird.

After taking these two dark yellow pills, the flying speed of the two gray-feathered birds quickly accelerated.

There was a look of pain in Lie Ying's eyes.

The pills he gave the two gray-feathered birds could stimulate and increase the density of their bloodlines, but the side effects were obvious. It would dilute their bloodlines, which would affect their future potential.

"We are getting faster!"

The other gray-robed people also felt the gray-feathered birds below them accelerating.

They could already see the back of the rainbow-colored bird in front of them.

"We have to catch up to them!"

Lie Ying knew that only by completing Chu He's orders could he receive the resources to make up for what he had just done.

On the back of the rainbow-colored bird.

"Xu Ning, you were so bold just now!" Zhang He was still feeling the lingering fear from Xu Ning's counterattack.

If Xu Ning had been slower just now, he would have been left on the ship, unable to escape.

At that point, he would die.

"I was not bold…"

Xu Ning did not deliberately highlight his behavior just now. "The two of them were in the fifth stage of the dao realm, and they were injured by you previously, causing their strength to decrease. Therefore, I thought that if I can use my full strength and suddenly counterattack, they will definitely not react in time."

"Although everything seemed dangerous, it was all part of my plan."

Xu Ning's words improved Duan Chaofeng and Zhang He's impression of him.

Xu Ning did not deliberately describe the danger he was in.

This was extremely rare in Duan Chaofeng's eyes.

When he was in the mansion, the people around him constantly wanted to show him what they had done, but Xu Ning did the opposite.

Mo Lan pursed her lips at the side.

She also saw Xu Ning's performance just now. When comparing Xu Ning to her trusted subordinates who rebelled at the critical moment, Mo Lan felt a little uncomfortable.

Moreover, Mo Lan also knew that Xu Ning was the Sect Master of the Swallow Heron Sect. He had a feud with Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang. It could even be said that when the Swallow Heron Sect was destroyed, Mo Lan had indirectly influenced it.

"Duan Chaofeng, Xu Ning, you brought me with you to escape this time. Consider it as me owing you a favor."

Mo Lan took the initiative to say, "If we can return to State Wansheng safely, I will definitely repay you."

"No need for that."

Duan Chaofeng's tone was neither cold nor indifferent. "Let's go back alive and talk later."

Xu Ning glanced at Mo Lan without answering.

"They are closing in on us!"

At this moment, Zhang He saw gray shadows approaching in the distance.

It was the group of gray-robed pursuers.

Xu Ning's expression changed slightly when he saw this.

"We have to speed up and shake them off!" Duan Chaofeng also took out a stimulating pill and gave it to the rainbow-colored bird. The situation was critical, so he couldn't care less about the damage this stimulating pill would do to the rainbow-colored bird.

"There are three dao realm sixth stage masters, we are not their opponent!"

Zhang He looked worried.

Among the four of them, Xu Ning's combat power was comparable to the peak of dao realm fifth stage, while Duan Chaofeng, even with a secret treasure, was only ordinary in the fifth stage of the dao realm. After all, he had just broken through to the fifth stage not long ago.

As for the remaining Princess Mo Lan, she was only in the core materialization realm and was the weakest.

If those people caught up to them, Zhang He would have to fight against them while also protecting Duan Chaofeng. This was simply unrealistic.

was

"Another thing, we will be flying out of the clear sky region in half an hour!"

Mo Lan said at this moment.

They were currently in the clear sky region, so the environment in the sky was relatively safe.

But if they flew out of the clear sky region, it would be extremely dangerous with dark clouds and lightning everywhere. Moreover, the further away they went out to the sea, the thinner the spiritual energy was, and the more energy they would consume in battle. This kind of circumstances was simply disadvantageous to them. 'It is indeed quite troublesome…'

Xu Ning also realized the danger he was in.

'However, if I can break through…'

Xu Ning's eyes lit up.

If he could break through to the fifth stage of the dao realm, cleanse his inner core, and advance in quality, then with the help of the Wind Smoke Gourd, he would have the possibility of defeating three dao realm sixth stage masters. Xu Ning immediately checked the two storage rings.

'The medicinal pills, spirit herbs and resources in these two storage rings contain about 5 million units of energy!'

Xu Ning was shocked.

Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang had brought a lot of sect resources, but now Xu Ning was the one benefiting from them.

"Your Highness, I want to enter my spatial secret treasure!" Xu Ning said, "I want to try breaking through to the core cleansing realm!"

"Trying to break through to the core cleansing realm?"

Duan Chaofeng and Zhang He looked at each other with strange expressions. It had only been a few months since Xu Ning broke through to the core materialization realm.

But he was already going to have another breakthrough in such a short time?

One had to consider that he was breaking through in the dao realm, not the mortal realm.

"Yes, I want to try." Xu Ning didn't seem overly confident. "Okay! Go in, I will guard the outside!"

Zhang He immediately said.

He knew very well that with Xu Ning's foundation, once he broke through, his strength would definitely be comparable to a dao realm sixth stage.

If that was the case, even if those pursuing gray-robed men caught up with them, there was still room for maneuver.

"Okay!"

Xu Ning said, "Then Brother Zhang, please help me protect this Hidden Moon Bead." With that, Xu Ning entered the Hidden Moon Bead.

Zhang He put away the Hidden Moon Bead.

With the Hidden Moon Bead in Zhang He's hands, it could be said that Xu Ning's life was in Zhang He's hands.

If Zhang He shattered the Hidden Moon Bead, Xu Ning would be swept into the spatial turbulence and be destroyed.

However, since Xu Ning dared to do this, he trusted Zhang He. After experiencing life and death together, Xu Ning had already seen through Zhang He's character. This person was indeed reliable.

Inside the Hidden Moon Bead.

Xu Ning took out all the resources in the two storage rings. In Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang's storage rings, in addition to medicinal pills, spirit herbs and resources, there were also some weapons, special artifacts, and so on.

One could easily form a middle-sized sect with these resources.

'I have to absorb all this energy faster!'

Xu Ning immediately began to move.

Xu Ning had always been methodical when absorbing energy. He would carefully experience the pleasure of absorbing energy.

But this time, he was very efficient. He was constantly absorbing a large amount of medicinal pills at once.

The sound of the energy absorption notification echoed in Xu Ning's ears.

Time slowly passed by. In just thirty minutes, Xu Ning absorbed a total of 4 million units of energy

This was the quickest Xu Ning had ever been when it came to absorbing energy.

"Done!"

Xu Ning's energy reserves had reached 8.5 million units.

Xu Ning opened the Martial Arts Panel and clicked on the "" sign next to the realm column.

Consume 8.5 million units of energy to advance your realm?

Yes / No

Xu Ning chose "Yes" without hesitation.

Afterwards, the inner core in Xu Ning's body rotated frantically. The spiritual energy accumulated in his inner core began to cleanse his inner core over and over again. Once, twice, three times…

After cleansing sixty times, the cleansing of the inner core stopped.

Generally speaking, when an ordinary core materialization realm master advanced to the core core cleansing realm, their inner core would be cleansed about ten times. Those with deeper foundations would be cleansed twenty to thirty times, and very few would be cleansed forty times. But Xu Ning's inner core had been cleansed sixty times!

Every time the inner core was cleansed, the effect would be much better.

The quality of Xu Ning's inner core was difficult to compare on the same realm.

'The next step is to advance to the core transformation realm. At that time, I can comprehend an origin technique!'

After advancing, Xu Ning didn't have time to feel the pleasure of advancing. With a thought, he left the Hidden Moon Bead.

Xu Ning's figure appeared in the outside world.

The moment he left the Hidden Moon Bead, a large amount of spiritual energy surged into Xu Ning's body.

The spiritual energy in his inner core had been consumed when he advanced to the core cleansing realm, but now, it was quickly replenished.

After all, the Hidden Moon Bead was not a Small Tree World.

In the Small Tree World, the spiritual energy was even denser than in the outside world, but in the Hidden Moon Bead, the spiritual energy was so thin that it was negligible.

"Xu Ning, you're out!"

Zhang He was surprised to see Xu Ning come out.

"You really advanced!"

Zhang He sensed that Xu Ning's strength was already in the fifth stage of the dao realm, the core cleansing realm!

Chapter 273 Mo Lan's Thoughts, Situation Reversal

Duan Chaofeng, who was watching from the side, also revealed a look of delight.

With Xu Ning's increase in strength, their safety would be greatly secured.

'Breaking through just like that…'

Mo Lan's expression did not change, but her eyes flashed with surprise.

In the dao realm, every breakthrough required much preparation.

Moreover, the process of breaking through usually took a lot of time.

Those who had weak foundations would require to make preparations a month in advance to break through.

But Xu Ning only took such a short time.

Mo Lan had heard of Xu Ning's name before. It was Сen Yumou and Liang Tingang who told her about the Swallow Heron Sect being rebuilt.

At that time, Xu Ning was only a dao realm third stage master. But now, after a year, he had advanced to the fifth stage of the dao realm.

'This person is really powerful…'

Mo Lan's mind was spinning. 'If he returns to State Wansheng alive, he will definitely be promoted by Duan Chaofeng. With the support of the Harmony King Mansion, with his talent, he will likely become a big shot in State Wansheng.'

The big shots in State Wansheng that Mo Lan was thinking of were at the level of the Red Sea Demon Lord. Just the strength of one person could make countless powerhouses feel reverence. Even within the Duan royal family, many people respected the Red Sea Demon Lord. 'Even if he can't become a top figure like the Red Sea Demon Lord, he is very likely to break through to the ninth stage of the dao realm in the future and explore the limits of the dao realm…'

'However, there is a feud between me and this person…'

Mo Lan felt that this situation was a little tricky.

If she wanted to repair the relationship between her and Xu Ning, she had to first resolve the misunderstanding between the two.

'Fortunately, I did not interfere with the dissolution of the Swallow Heron Sect. There is still hope for reconciliation…'

Mo Lan thought, 'If there is a chance, after returning to State Wansheng, I will try to be friendly to him… After all, there is no direct feud between us. If there are enough benefits, we might be able to improve our relationship.'

However, Mo Lan was not sure what Xu Ning was thinking "As we continue to fly ahead, the thinner the spiritual energy will get."

Xu Ning said to Zhang He and Duan Chaofeng, "In an environment with thin spiritual energy, our energy consumption will be huge. Moreover, there are six people on the opposite side, so they would definitely hold the advantage in a continuous battle. Considering all this, we might as well take the initiative to attack."

"Take the initiative to attack?" Zhang He and Duan Chaofeng's eyes twitched. "Are you confident?"

Zhang He was still a little hesitant, because he was worried that Duan Chaofeng would encounter danger.

Even if Duan Chaofeng hid in a spatial secret treasure, if the secret treasure was affected, he would turn into dust in the spatial turbulence.

"Yes."

Xu Ning's answer was confident.

Xu Ning's foundation was extremely strong. After breaking through, he was comparable to a dao realm sixth stage core transformation realm martial artist.

Coupled with the Wind Smoke Gourd and the special dao weapon, the Cyan Wolf Knife, which was comparable to a half-step secret treasure, no one could defeat Xu Ning except for a high-level dao realm seventh stage master.

"In this case, let's fight back!"

Duan Chaofeng agreed and supported him.

"Then we will enter the spatial secret treasure and not be a burden."

Mo Lan said on the side.

Xu Ning and Zhang He glanced at her at the same time but did not answer.

They didn't have a good impression of Mo Lan, but because of her status, they couldn't face her in a confrontational manner.

Duan Chaofeng glanced at Mo Lan and finally acknowledged her idea.

Afterwards, Duan Chaofeng and Mo Lan both entered a spatial treasure. Zhang He put away the spatial treasure carefully.

"Time to fight!"

After making preparations, Zhang He took out his spear dao weapon.

He had a secret treasure, but it was a support type treasure used for cultivation, so he couldn't use it in battle.

Thus, the combat power of the current Zhang He might even be weaker than Xu Ning.

Zhang He controlled the rainbow-colored bird under him to turn around and face the people chasing them.

"Huh?"

Lie Ying and the others, who were still worried about losing their prey, suddenly noticed that the rainbow-colored bird in front of them was turning around and flying towards them.

"Have they become retarded? Are they trying to come right back into our hands?"

When some gray-robed people saw this, they smiled excitedly.

As for Lie Ying, he felt a little uneasy.

Afterwards, with a thought, he released two more flying demon beasts from his spatial treasure, both of which were ordinary mid-level dao realm.

"Lie Ying, aren't you being too cautious!"

Another gray-robed man smiled and said, "Our targets, the Harmony Prince and the Promise Princess, were obviously put into a spatial treasure. We can easily crush the remaining two!"

"It's better to be careful."

Lie Ying said.

After a few breaths, the two sides met.

"Hand over the Harmony Prince and the Promise Princess, and I will spare your lives!"

Lie Ying looked at Xu Ning and Zhang He, who were full of fighting spirit, and said with a hint of warning in his tone. However, the others ignored Lie Ying. They each held their own dao weapons and rushed towards Xu Ning and Zhang He.

The weakest of them was in the fifth stage of the dao realm. Although they could not fly, it was not difficult to fight in the air.

"How reckless!"

Seeing that the others had already taken action, Lie Ying could only follow.

Not only was he attacking personally, but he was also dispatching his mid level dao realm demon beasts to besiege Xu Ning and Zhang He.

"Here they come!"

Xu Ning and Zhang He were not afraid at all, even though they were outnumbered.

However, Zhang He was very cautious, in case the spatial treasure which Duan Chaofeng and Mo Lan was in was damaged by the battle.

"Wind Smoke Gourd!"

Xu Ning used his trump card the instant he engaged in battle.

Whoosh!

The gray fog instantly enveloped the gray-robed men. "Be careful of this gray fog. Not only can it isolate perception, but it also has the power of poison!"

Lie Ying was a Master Tamer with a wide range of knowledge.

With Lie Ying's prompt, the others were ready. "Huh?"

Xu Ning's eyes narrowed.

Xu Ning had already sensed that the suppression brought by the gray fog was greatly weakened.

'Although the gray fog still has the power to isolate perception and release the lethal poisonous miasma, its power is greatly reduced when facing these dao realm fifth or even sixth stage masters.'

Xu Ning discovered that the poisonous miasma could no longer cause fatal injuries to them, and their perception could not be completely blocked.

'But it doesn't matter, my current strength is my greatest confidence!'

Xu Ning activated the will of the cyan wolf in the Cyan Wolf Knife.

Whoosh!

Two slashes.

The two mid level dao realm demon beasts controlled by Lie Ying were cut in half.

'He is actually so strong?'

Xu Ning killed two mid level dao realm demon beasts with two casual strikes.

Those two demon beasts were comparable to the fifth stage of the dao realm.

Even Xu Ning didn't expect his combat power to have reached this level after his internal core had been cleansed sixty times.

'Sure enough, the positive benefits that come from the foundation I have set in the void realm will become more and more obvious as I rise up in realm!'

Xu Ning's eyes lit up.

"What?!"

Xu Ning's effortless kills stunned everyone.

'Didn't Xu Ning just break through to the core cleansing realm? Even with the help of a secret treasure, he can't be this strong, right?'

Zhang He's thoughts paused for a moment, then he was overjoyed. He could already see the hope of defeating these gray-robed men.

"Ha!"

Zhang He's fighting spirit soared.

'How is this person so strong!'

The gray-robed men were also stunned.

According to what Chu He told them, wasn't there only one dao realm sixth stage among them?

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Xu Ning seized the opportunity when they were stunned and attacked again.

He borrowed the force in the air and almost floated in the air.

Several knives slashed out again, and the astral qi activated by the power of the dao realm was extremely fierce.

Pfft!

Another gray-robed man was beheaded by Xu Ning

Xu Ning first placed the three dao realm fifth stage core cleansing realm masters as his targets.

"Not good! Go and stop him!"

Lie Ying noticed Xu Ning's intentions and quickly joined up with the others to stop Xu Ning's calculative kills.

But Xu Ning did not give them a chance.

His aura surged as he fought back with pure strength.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

After a flurry of attacks, only three sixth stage dao realm masters were left.

Even the two gray-feathered birds below them had been killed.

This person is invincible!'

This was the only thought in the minds of the remaining three gray-robed men.

"Brother Zhang, let's fight them together!"

Xu Ning shouted to Zhang He.

"Okay!"

Zhang He was excited.

Two against three, but the situation had been reversed.

Instantly, blade lights and sword shadows flew everywhere.

Many sea demon beasts sensed the terrifying aftershock of the battle and avoided it.

The battle continued.

Pfft!

Xu Ning slashed again and a gray-robed dao realm sixth stage master was killed.

Afterwards, his combat power increased, and in another few breaths, another gray-robed man was killed.

In this battle, Xu Ning and Zhang He were not injured at all.

"I surrender, let me off!"

The remaining Lie Ying no longer had any resistance.

"Surrender?"

Zhang He sneered and was about to join Xu Ning to kill this person.

However, Lie Ying suddenly said, "I know Chu He's weakness, I can help you defeat him!" "Who is Chu He? Is he your leader?" Xu Ning and Zhang He paused when they heard him.

"That's right!"

When Lie Ying saw this, he quickly said, "The two high level dao realm masters on your side are restricted by the Binding Lock, so they must be struggling to resist Chu He, but I can help you deal with him!"

"You traitor, how can we believe you?"

Zhang He didn't believe Lie Ying at all.

"I just joined them not long ago, so I have no loyalty to them. I just joined them in exchange for benefits. Now that the situation is like this, I am willing to sincerely submit to you!"

In order to save his life, Lie Ying also showed an extremely humble attitude.

"This…"

Zhang He looked at Xu Ning with a questioning look in his eyes.

Xu Ning's previous performance had completely convinced Zhang He.

"We can spare his life for now."

Xu Ning said. If they could learn of Chu He's weakness, then Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua would be temporarily out of danger.

And with them being bound by the Binding Lock, they were facing a life-and-death crisis. Xu Ning first injected the power of the dao realm into Lie Ying's body to control him.

Lie Ying did not resist at all.

Afterwards, Zhang He communicated through the spatial treasure and asked Duan Chaofeng and Mo Lan to come out. "Everything is settled?"

After Duan Chaofeng and Mo Lan came out of the spatial treasure, they saw that the gray-robed Lie Ying had been controlled by Xu

Ning.

Both of them looked relieved as though they had just been through the gates of hell and back.

"The other pursuers have all been killed, leaving only this person who is willing to submit to us."

Zhang He said, "Xu Ning crushed this group of people with his overwhelming power."

"Crushed them with his overwhelming power?"

Duan Chaofeng and Mo Lan looked at Xu Ning at the same time.

"Brother Zhang exaggerated a little."

Xu Ning explained casually.

A smile appeared on Duan Chaofeng's face. Mo Lan's eyes also roamed around Xu Ning's body, her thoughts unknown. "Tell me, who are you?"

Xu Ning asked Lie Ying. "We are from the Hidden Sect."

Lie Ying responded truthfully.

"Hidden Sect?"

Xu Ning frowned. He had never heard of this sect before.

At least in State Wansheng, there was no such sect.

'Is it really a foreign sect…'

Xu Ning thought to himself.

"Hidden Sect?"

On the contrary, Duan Chaofeng, Zhang He, and Mo Lan looked surprised.

"To actually be from the Hidden Sect."

Zhang He explained to Xu Ning, "This Hidden Sect is a foreign sect that has recently been rising to power. This sect has a mysterious background. There are often sect members who would sneak into State Wansheng to plunder resources or make some arrangements that we don't understand."

"But overall, this foreign sect is not a positive character. It has had many disputes with the Imperial Court. Additionally, the current Hidden Sect is in the extermination catalog of the Imperial Court, meaning that if you catch anyone from the Hidden Sect and send them to the Imperial Court, you will be rewarded."

"I see…"

Xu Ning understood and nodded.

"What is the structure of your Hidden Sect, how does it work, and why are you here?"

Zhang He was full of questions.

Lie Ying was about to answer, but was interrupted by Xu Ning. "Don't be in a hurry to answer these questions. Tell us first, how should we deal with Chu He?"

"Yes, say that first!"

Zhang He slapped his forehead. Only then did he realize that Dong Ji was still in a difficult situation.

Lie Ying quickly replied, "Chu He has two very powerful secret treasures, one of which can hide his aura. As long as he doesn't expose himself, even an existence one realm higher than him can't detect him."

"However, this treasure is mainly a support type. It doesn't have much practical use in combat."

"But Chu He's other secret treasure is called the Blood Amplification Scimitar. This secret treasure is very strange. It was given to Chu He by the higher-ups of the Hidden Sect." "When this Blood Amplification Scimitar is used in battle, it will become one with the user. During the battle, it will constantly absorb the flesh and blood power of the user, filling the body of the Blood Amplification Scimitar."

"As a result, the user will become a provider of the Blood Amplification Scimitar. And with the help of the Blood Amplification Scimitar, the user can explode with powerful strength."

In order to save his life, Lie Ying told them everything he knew. "Although this Chu He is in the seventh stage of the dao realm, his strength is not at the top. However, with the existence of this Blood Amplification Scimitar, he can also fight against a peak dao realm seventh stage master." "However, this Blood Amplification Scimitar has a flaw."

"When I said just now that the Blood Amplification Scimitar will become one with the user, it is not an exaggeration. It is because when the user holds the Blood Amplification Scimitar, blood vessels would connect the handle of the scimitar to the hand of the user." "As long as the blood vessels between the knife and palm are severed during the battle, then if he wants to awaken its power again, the scimitar will have to absorb a new dao realm power. And at that time, the flesh and blood of the user will be in a deficient state. Not only will he be unable to continue to support the use of the Blood Amplification Scimitar, but his strength will also weaken.'

"With such circumstances, we can take advantage of his weakened state and attack him."

After Lie Ying finished his explanation, Xu Ning broadened his horizons.

"There is actually such a treasure?"

This was the first time Zhang He and Duan Chaofeng had heard of this as well.

Mo Lan pondered for a moment and said, "This secret treasure is not unique. Among the people captured by the Imperial Court, there are also some who have similar secret treasures."

"I heard these from the Empress herself"

Mo Lan explained as the three of them looked at her with a peculiar gaze.

Xu Ning knew that Mo Lan had a good relationship with the current Empress.

"In other words, if we return now and find a way to cut off the connection between the Blood Amplification Scimitar and Chu He, then Senior Dong and the others can fight back and gain the upper hand." Zhang He said. "However, how can we make him let go of the Blood Amplification Scimitar?"

Duan Chaofeng's eyebrows tightened.

He respected Dong Ji very much, so he was really worried about Dong Ji's safety.

"Sneak attack. We cut off his palm when he let his guard down."

Mo Lan suggested.

Duan Chaofeng glanced at Mo Lan with a displeased look.

"Sneaking an attack on a dao realm seventh stage? How is that possible?" "It is possible with this!"

With that said, a pure white stone appeared in Mo Lan's hand. "Void stone!" Duan Chaofeng looked surprised. 'A void stone?'

The moment Mo Lan took out the pure white stone, Xu Ning felt a sense of familiarity.

The aura flowing on its surface was extremely similar to Gray's void power.

This was not the first time Xu Ning had seen a void stone.

When he was still in the Abyss North, when dealing with the outsiders from the Jade Night Sect, someone had used void teleportation in front of him.

However, that kind of void teleportation did not use true void stones, but void grit.

Moreover, the void grit itself had a huge flaw.

If there was any dao realm power activated nearby or other power that could interfere with the use of the void grit, then the void teleportation effect could not be used.

But a true void stone was different. With it, regardless of whether there was any interference, one could directly travel through the void.

This kind of ability would also be mastered when Gray advanced to the peak of the dao realm.

Because of this, void stones were extremely precious assassination and life-saving treasures, and they were extremely rare. Even Duan Chaofeng did not have a void stone.

But at this moment, Mo Lan took out this life-saving treasure.

Even though she was trying to rescue Xue Jinghua, her behavior was quite generous.

"With the help of this void stone, you can instantly cut into the battlefield and sever his wrist."

Mo Lan said.

"How is it? Can you do it?"

Duan Zhaofeng looked at Xu Ning and Zhang Не. "Sure."

Xu Ning responded.

Xu Ning was absolutely confident that he could attack the instant he teleported.

Chu He would definitely be unable to react at all.

As long as he could cut off his wrist, his strength would decline, and he would not be able to counterattack in time.

"Okay, in this case, let's go!"

Duan Chaofeng said.

Afterwards, Mo Lan handed the void stone to Xu Ning.

At this moment.

The dao weapon ship that they were on had been destroyed by the battle.

Thus, Chu He, Dong Ji, and Xue Jinghua were fighting in the sky. 'The secret treasure in the gray-robed man's hand is really strange!'

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua were struggling to resist. They were on the verge of being defeated and killed at any time.

Due to the Binding Lock, their strength was less than half of their peak state.

'His scimitar secret treasure seems to have a life of its own. There is also a consciousness in it, which is extremely powerful.'

Dong Ji discovered that Chu He was like a slave to the blood-red scimitar.

The power of the blood-red scimitar was what they really couldn't resist.

"As expected of the masters of the king mansions!"

Chu He's face was pale, but his tone was arrogant. "Even though you are restricted by the Binding Lock, it is rare for you to be able to persist until now. When I defeat the both of you later, I will definitely send you off peacefully!"

With that said, Chu He stuffed a handful of pills into his mouth with his other hand that was not connected to the scimitar. The medicinal pills caused his expression to look better.

"Am I really going to die here?'

A look of despair appeared on Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua's faces.

Now that they were in the Endless Sea, they were alone and helpless. There was no chance of survival at all.

'I wonder if His Highness has escaped the pursuit…'

Dong Ji was still thinking about Duan Chaofeng at this moment.

Xue Jinghua was also worried about Mo Lan's safety.

However, they suddenly heard a cry from a bird.

Duan Chaofeng and the others, who were originally being chased, returned on a rainbow-colored bird. On it were Duan Chaofeng, Zhang He, and Mo Lan, but Xu Ning was nowhere to be seen.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

"Why are you back?"

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua were anxious.

Aren't they coming back just to die?

Chu He laughed. "They probably had no way to escape after being caught by my people, so they can only return and ask for help! This is good, I alone can take care of all of you!"

Chu He was extremely excited, and his desire to fight increased.

Faced with Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua, he attacked even more frantically.

This completely overwhelmed Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua.

However, at this moment.

A spatial crack suddenly appeared on Chu He's side. Xu Ning's figure flashed out of the spatial crack.

Swoosh!

Xu Ning activated the will of the cyan wolf in the Cyan Wolf Knife and poured his dao realm power into it.

He slashed down!

And before Chu He could react, the hand holding the Blood Amplification Scimitar was cut off.

Report chapter

Chapter 275 Return to State Wansheng

'I did it!

Xu Ning was relieved when he saw Chu He's hand and the Blood Amplification Scimitar fall.

Xu Ning had been extremely nervous during the entire process of using the void stone to attack Chu He.

After all, there was only one void stone, and he only had one chance.

If the attack failed, Chu He would immediately counterattack. Not only would he be in danger, but the others would be killed.

"Xu Ning!"

After seeing Xu Ning suddenly appear and cut off Chu He's hand, Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua couldn't react for a while.

They didn't see Xu Ning on the back of the rainbow-colored bird just now, so they thought that Xu Ning had died in the pursuit. However, they didn't expect him to secretly launch a critical attack.

"Quick, kill this person!"

Dong Ji reacted first.

During his fight with Chu He, Dong Ji had already noticed the uniqueness of the Blood Amplification Scimitar. He knew that in the previous battle, Chu He's main source of strength was the Blood Amplification Scimitar.

And now that the Blood Amplification Scimitar had left Chu He, Dong Ji also noticed that Chu He's aura was weak.

This was the best time to fight back.

"Okay!"

Xue Jinghua also reacted. She was previously in despair, but now she was full of fighting spirit.

And at this moment, Chu He himself was still a little confused.

He thought that everything was under his control, but in the blink of an eye, the situation was reversed.

'It's over!

Chu He's mind was blown. Subsequently, he subconsciously wanted to escape. He didn't even care about his fallen hand or the Blood Amplification Scimitar. However, he was currently in a weakened state. Even though Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua had less than 50% of their strength, it was easy to deal with him. In less than twenty seconds, Chu He was killed by Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua. Originally, Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua wanted to capture Chu He alive. But Chu He seemed to realize that if he was captured and brought back to State Wansheng, his situation would be worse than death.

At the final critical moment, not only did Chu He crush his storage ring, preventing Dong Ji, Xue Jinghua and others from obtaining his treasures, but he also desperately burned his potential. He had no intention of submitting until he died.

"Finally done!"

After seeing Chu He's death, Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua were relieved. All of their strength seemed to have left their bodies.

The two of them had suffered a huge burden in this fight.

They were already lightly injured, and on top of that, they were also restricted by the Binding Lock. If it weren't for Xu Ning's sudden appearance, they would have been killed instead.

Afterwards, Dong Ji found a secret treasure on Chu He's body.

The secret treasure was a ring, the one that Chu He used to hide his aura and assist his cultivation.

Because of his haste, Chu He did not manage to put it into his storage ring and destroy it in the spatial turbulence.

In addition to this concealing ring, Dong Ji also put away the Blood Amplification Scimitar.

Although they did not obtain any other resources from Chu He, obtaining these two secret treasures was still a gain.

"Your Highness, why are you here?"

Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua also jumped onto Duan Chaofeng's rainbow-colored bird.

Duan Chaofeng then told the two what they had experienced.

After hearing this, the look in their eyes changed again. They knew very well that Xu Ning's talent had begun to explode.

"Xu Ning, you have killed and captured a member of the Hidden Sect, which is a great achievement. When you return to State Wansheng and report this to the Imperial Court, you will definitely be rewarded."

Dong Ji said.

"This is not my work alone, Brother Zhang has also helped out a lot."

Xu Ning was not greedy for merit.

"Mo Lan also contributed to killing Chu He."

Duan Chaofeng actually spoke up for Mo Lan at this moment.

Hearing this, Mo Lan was also a little surprised, then she said, "If it weren't for Xu Ning and Zhang He, the void stone would have been useless in my hands."

Mo Lan was speaking the truth.

Although she could escape instantly with the help of a void stone, it would be difficult for her to survive in the Endless Sea with her abilities.

Xu Ning heard what she said and was intrigued.

Obviously, Duan Chaofeng's attitude towards Mo Lan had changed slightly after experiencing life and death together.

However, Xu Ning did not express any attitude towards this.

The destruction of the Swallow Heron Sect was indirectly related to Mo Lan. Although there were no eternal enemies and only eternal benefits, the current Xu Ning obviously couldn't take the initiative to be friendly with Mo Lan.

"Enough talk, let's continue our return journey."

Xue Jinghua took out another sailing dao weapon.

This ship was much smaller than the previous one, but it was relatively more exquisite.

The group boarded the ship.

As the ship was being activated and everyone was preparing to rest, Dong Ji suddenly asked.

"By the way, what about the Hidden Sect member you captured?"

"He has been put into a spatial treasure by His Highness."

Zhang He responded.

Dong Ji nodded. "When we return, we will send him to the capital. The Imperial Court is very adamant in eliminating the Hidden Sect. Sending a living member there will definitely be very helpful." "I will personally escort him when that time comes."

Zhang He took the initiative to speak.

"Also, Your Highness…"

Dong Ji took out the concealing ring and the Blood Amplification Scimitar from Chu He's body. "How should we deal with these two secret treasures?"

Xue Jinghua and Mo Lan looked at each other without speaking

Strictly speaking, Xue Jinghua should have a share of these two treasures since she had fought with Dong Ji earlier.

However, because Xu Ning was the one who changed the critical situation, and Mo Lan was also protected by Duan Chaofeng's people, there was no need to fight over two secret treasures.

"Give this ring to Xu Ning."

Duan Chaofeng muttered to himself for a moment, then said. "For me?"

Xu Ning paused for a moment, but he did not refuse. "Thank you, Your Highness." Dong Ji handed the concealing ring to Xu Ning. "According to the captured person, this concealing ring is called Aura Concealment. It is a secret treasure forged from a type of crystal with an isolative characteristic. With this Aura Concealment Ring, even if you face an existence of a higher realm, as long as you don't actively release your aura, you can perfectly hide yourself. Moreover, this Aura Concealment Ring can also be used on people around you."

After reaching the dao realm, Breath Restraining Pills were basically useless. Because his realm was too high, there were no similar pills that could hide his aura.

Therefore, the effect of the Aura Concealment Ring was extremely precious.

'In addition to that, this Aura Concealment Ring seems to be able to assist in cultivation. I can test it later…'

Xu Ning accepted the Aura Concealment Ring.

"As for this Blood Amplification Scimitar…"

Duan Chaofeng frowned, as if he didn't know what to do with it.

"Your Highness, although this scimitar is powerful, I sense a consciousness in it…"

Dong Ji's expression was a little serious. "This thing is a little dangerous to use…"

"In this case, we can put it away for now. We'll discuss it after we return to the mansion…"

Duan Chaofeng said.

Afterwards, the group found their own rooms and went back to rest.

Especially Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua, the Binding Lock on their bodies had not disappeared yet.

They had to spend some time getting rid of the binding power on their bodies.

The ship sailed on the Endless Sea.

Two months later, the group of people finally stepped onto State Wansheng after experiencing an arduous journey. 'We are finally back!'

Xu Ning felt relieved after sensing the familiar spiritual energy of State Wansheng.

This trip overseas took more than half a year.

Although the ultimate goal of this trip, the Night Beast, was not captured, Xu Ning personally had gained a lot.

Not only did he advance his realm, but he also obtained a secret treasure. Even after that, he still had resources left, and he had further improved his relationship with the Harmony Prince.

For Xu Ning, he had gained a lot from this trip.

"Duan Chaofeng."

When they parted ways, Mo Lan took the initiative to say to Duan Chaofeng, "That Night Beast is extremely strong. It will probably not be easy to capture it again. Why don't we join forces and send more high level dao realm masters to capture it."

"A joint capture…"

Duan Chaofeng thought for a moment. "Okay."

In order to capture the Night Beast, the

armony King Mansion had also paid a huge price. Even Duan Chaofeng himself almost died overseas, so he was quite angry.

However, even if he sent people out to sea again, Duan Chaofeng would not go personally anymore. "Xu Ning."

Mo Lan looked at Xu Ning. "You have also protected my safety on this trip. If you have the opportunity, you can go to State Luzhi to find me. I will definitely express my gratitude."

Mo Lan was showing Xu Ning kindness.

"Your Highness, you're too kind." Xu Ning responded calmly. Seeing this, Mo Lan felt a little regretful, but she couldn't say anything.

Afterwards, she and Xue Jinghua rushed back to State Luzhi.

"It's good to be back."

After Mo Lan and Xue Jinghua left, Duan Chaofeng sighed. "Return to the mansion!"

"Your Highness."

Xu Ning said, "I want to go back to the Swallow Heron Sect first. I have been away from the sect for more than half a year, I have to go back and take a look."

"Sure."

Duan Chaofeng agreed readily. "Let's go back to State Guqing first. Once we reach State Guqing, we will part ways."

Duan Chaofeng's attitude towards Xu Ning was extremely friendly.

The four of them began their journey back to State Guqing

Report chapter

Chapter 276 The Arrival of Old Friends from the Abyss North, Change of the Swallow Heron Sect

On the way back to State Guqing On the coastline of State Wansheng, a simple dao weapon ship was docked.

A man and a woman got off the dao weapon ship.

The moment they stepped onto State Wansheng, both of them looked relieved, their eyes full of joy.

"State Wansheng, we are finally here!"

The young man was carrying a fiery red longsword on his back and had a handsome face.

"Sure enough, the concentration of spiritual energy here is more than ten times that of the Abyss North!"

The other young woman was also quite excited.

If Xu Ning was here, he would recognize that these two were his senior brother He Mingye and his friend Si Ying.

These two were the top genius disciples of the same generation in the Abyss North.

"With all the dangers we met along the journey, I thought we wouldn't be able to reach State Wansheng safely."

There was a hint of lingering fear in Si Ying's tone.

When she thought about the risks of the Endless Sea, her heart still trembled.

"Yeah…"

He Mingye also sighed ruefully.

"Next, let's find out where Xu Ning is."

He Mingye said, "He came to State Wansheng two years before us. With his aptitude and ability, he should be able to stand firm now…"

"Mmm…"

Si Ying nodded with a look of expectation in her eyes.

She had witnessed Xu Ning's talent a long time ago, and she wanted to know what Xu Ning had achieved after coming to State Wansheng.

Although He Mingye and Si Ying's talents were top-notch in the Abyss North, they could not have advance to the dao realm within two years.

However, both of them had their own lucky encounters.

Si Ying discovered a mystic realm in the Abyss North.

The mystic realm was left behind by a high level dao realm master when he traveled there. Si Ying was lucky enough to obtain part of the inheritance in the mystic realm, and in an extremely short period of time, she condensed two dao realm seeds and broke through.

As for He Mingye, because of Xu Ning, he was personally guided by Wan Ye.

Although Wan Ye's realm had fallen, his knowledge of cultivation was still there. This allowed He Mingye's cultivation speed to increase.

Of course, this was not enough for He Mingye to advance so quickly. There was also the help of the golden-eyed demon ape.

When he followed Wan Ye to cultivate, Wan Ye had taken He Mingye to the island of the golden-eyed demon ape.

When the golden-eyed demon ape was searching for the raw materials for the Demon Ape Wine, it had discovered a core material needed to refine a pill for a major realm breakthrough Seeing it, Wan Ye couldn't bear to waste it. In the end, he worked with many alchemists to refine a medicinal pill that could allow one to break through a major realm, providing He Mingye the opportunity to advance.

After advancing to the dao realm, He Mingye and Si Ying immediately sensed how terrible the cultivation environment in the Abyss North was.

Therefore, the two of them hit off and decide to journey together.

With the help of the dao weapon ship given to them by Wan Ye, they finally arrived in State Wansheng safely. "According to Senior Wan Ye, even in the Abyss North, dao realm masters are considered experts." He Mingye said, "We can definitely ensure our basic survival needs in State Wansheng."

"However, finding Xu Ning is not going to be that easy in comparison…"

"That's true, we don't know where Xu Ning went."

Si Ying said, "We have two ways to find Xu Ning."

"Xu Ning came here with the seniors of the Source Sect at that time, so we can go to the Source Sect in State Wansheng and ask the seniors of the Source Sect. They should know where Xu Ning is."

"Or, we could ask around for news concerning the Swallow Heron Sect. After all, a large part of the reason why Xu Ning came here is to help Senior Wan Ye rebuild the Swallow Heron Sect."

"I think the first method is more reliable."

He Mingye expressed his opinion. "Even though Xu Ning has displayed some of his talents over the past two years and raised his realm, it is not easy to build up his reputation in a place like State Wansheng in such a short period of time. There is a high probability that us blindly inquiring about the Swallow Heron Sect will be fruitless." "True…"

Si Ying agreed. "In this case, let's go to the Source Sect in State Wansheng first."

Afterwards, the two began to set off according to the map given to them by Wan Ye.

At this moment. Swallow Heron Sect 'I'm finally back…'

Xu Ning appeared outside the Swallow Heron Sect.

Half a day ago, after arriving at State Guqing, Xu Ning parted ways with Duan Chaofeng and the others.

Xu Ning returned to the Swallow Heron Sect, while Duan Chaofeng and the others returned to the mansion first.

Before leaving, Duan Chaofeng told Xu Ning to go to the mansion within three months, and Xu Ning agreed.

"Who are you? This is the gate of the Swallow Heron Sect!"

Xu Ning was about to enter the Swallow Heron Sect from the front door, but he was stopped by a disciple wearing the uniform of the Swallow Heron Sect.

Several Swallow Heron Sect disciples stared at Xu Ning cautiously. It seemed that once Xu Ning had any intention of breaking into the sect, they were ready to stop him.

They couldn't be blamed for being so cautious. The Swallow Heron Sect was currently in Chuiyun Mountain, and the cultivation resources here were extremely abundant. Many outsiders would come here in search for resources, so they were also guarding against these outsiders.

'I was actually stopped outside the sect's gate…'

Xu Ning didn't expect to encounter such a situation.

If he knew this would happen, he would have flown straight to the main peak.

'These disciples look unfamiliar…'

Before Xu Ning left, there were only a few hundred people in the Swallow Heron Sect, so he had an impression of every face.

And this was the first time Xu Ning had seen these few disciples.

'It seems that Cheng Zengtao and the others have expanded the size of the Swallow Heron Sect in the past six months.'

"What's wrong, why are all of you gathered here?"

Just when Xu Ning was thinking of leaving in an instant and not getting involved with these disciples, he heard a familiar voice. "Senior Brother Cheng!"

The disciples guarding the door heard the voice and turned their heads. They saw that the person who came was Cheng Xiu, the personal disciple of the Sect Master, so they quickly bowed respectfully.

"Senior Brother Cheng, this person wants…"

One of the disciples was about to explain the reason.

Then he suddenly saw Cheng Xiu's eyes widening

"Master?!"

When Cheng Xiu saw Xu Ning who was dressed in white, he was overjoyed.

"Master?"

The disciples guarding the gate were confused for a moment, then they looked at Xu Ning with a shocked and frightened expression. This person was the Sect Master of the Swallow Heron Sect!?

It was rumored that the Sect Master had gone out to travel. Therefore, they, the new disciples, had never seen the true face of the Sect Master before.

And now, they finally saw it in such a circumstance.

'We actually offended the Sect Master…'

The disciples trembled in fear.

"Cheng Xiu, you have improved a lot."

Xu Ning saw through Cheng Xiu's cultivation with a look.

When he left, Cheng Xiu used external forces to barely break through to the first stage of the void realm, causing his foundation to be unstable.

But now, Xu Ning discovered that not only had Cheng Xiu consolidated his realm, but he had also reached the mid level of the void realm first stage.

This satisfied Xu Ning. After all, Cheng Xiu's talent was relatively ordinary.

"Master, you are finally back!"

Cheng Xiu quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Xu Ning.

The disciples behind him quickly followed suit. Cheng Xiu's cultivation had improved recently, so he initially had planned to leave the sect today and find a void realm demon beast in Chuiyun Mountain to fight.

But as soon as he left, he ran into Xu Ning.

"During the days I was gone, the Swallow Heron Sect seemed to have changed again…"

Xu Ning glanced at the disciples with a smile.

"Yes."

Cheng Xiu responded, "Deputy Sect Master Cheng, elders, prospective elders, and guest elders work day and night for the construction of the sect, just so that after you return, you can see the changes in the Swallow Heron Sect."

"Everyone has worked hard…"

Xu Ning just smiled.

"How many people are there in the sect now?"

Xu Ning asked.

"There are more than two thousand and five hundred members if I add all the core disciples, inner disciples, and outer disciples together."

Cheng Xiu answered truthfully. "So many people…" Xu Ning sighed.

Xu Ning felt a little emotional when he thought about the difficulties he faced when he rebuilt the sect two years ago.

And now, the overall strength of the Swallow Heron Sect had even exceeded its previous state before it was disbanded.

In terms of high-level combat power, Xu Ning was much stronger than the previous sect master Li Shengmao.

Moreover, Gray, Cyan, Cheng Zengtao, and the others were not weak.

It could even be said that the mid-level dao realm demon beasts captured overseas would greatly strengthen the high-level combat power of the Swallow Heron Sect.

In terms of the population of the sect, the number of people in the sect was greater than before. Moreover, the current Swallow Heron Sect was backed by the Harmony King Mansion, so they were more confident.

The only thing that was worse than before was the quality of the disciples.

Because it had just been rebuilt not long ago, the strength of the disciples of the Swallow Heron Sect was still insufficient, but with the culmination of time and the cultivation boost from the Small Tree World, they could catch up.

"Master, these disciples are all outer disciples who were recruited a few months ago." Cheng Xiu looked at the nervous disciples next to him and explained, "They didn't recognize you, so please forgive them if they have offended you in any way."

Cheng Xiu's words made the disciples look at him gratefully.

'He's trying to win people's hearts…'

Xu Ning saw through Cheng Xiu's intentions.

If Cheng Xiu maintained this attitude for a long time, he could improve his status in the hearts of the disciples and establish some prestige. However, Xu Ning didn't care even though he had seen through him.

It was not a bad thing for his disciples to have this kind of mindset.

"Practice hard and do your best for the sect, you are not to be blamed for anything…"

Xu Ning's words made the disciples feel relieved.

"Master, let's enter the sect."

Cheng Xiu said.

Xu Ning nodded.

Afterwards, Xu Ning entered the sect.

Soon, the news of his return to the Swallow Heron Sect was spread throughout the sect.

Cheng Zengtao, Shao Xun, Tong Li, Ou Wei, other guest elders, Shi Baoqing, Fang Youli, and other elite disciples all went to the main peak to greet Xu Ning.

Xu Ning talked briefly with everyone before sending everyone away, leaving only Cheng Zengtao and Fang Youli, who had just joined the Swallow Heron Sect.

"Fang Youli, you truly have it in you."

There were only three people left on the main peak. Xu Ning said, "In just half a year, you have actually crossed three realms and reached the void realm sixth stage!"

Report chapter

Chapter 277 The Shock of He Mingye and Si Ying

Fang Youli scratched his head after being praised by Xu Ning. "It's just that Deputy Sect Master Cheng always gave me enough resources, that's why I was able to advance my realm so quickly."

Compared to half a year ago, when Fang Youli first entered the sect, he looked more mature now.

When Fang Youli first entered the sect, he had a reckless style of doing things. But now, after integrating into the sect, he has become slightly more mature.

"Don't waste your talent in martial arts. I look forward to you breaking through to the dao realm as soon as possible." Xu Ning encouraged Fang Youli. After seeing Fang Youli's huge improvement, Xu Ning was quite satisfied.

Among the disciples of the Swallow Heron Sect, Fang Youli was the only one with true talent.

He also hoped that Fang Youli could grow as soon as possible, so that the legacy of the Swallow Heron Sect would not seem to be incomplete.

'Fang Youli's cultivation method is similar to mine. He also uses external resources…'

Xu Ning looked at Fang Youli with gratification. 'However, Fang Youli is far behind me in terms of cultivation speed and quality…'

With the help of the Martial Arts Panel, Xu Ning's advancement speed was not only fast, but it would also allow him to advance straight to the peak of every realm. Most importantly, as long as he had enough energy, Xu Ning's future growth path was limitless.

In contrast, Fang Youli's aptitude, which others thought was extremely high, was not comparable in front of Xu Ning.

"You can leave first."

After chatting casually with Fang Youli, Xu Ning waved his hand.

"Sect Master."

However, Fang Youli did not leave immediately. "Since you think my martial arts talent is satisfactory, can I be your personal disciple?"

When Fang Youli first joined the sect, he was stubborn and insisted on being the personal disciple of the Sect Master.

But in the end, he had no choice but to compromise.

"Your aptitude and martial arts advancement path are relatively special. Even if you worship me as your master, I have nothing to teach you." Xu Ning said, "You can freely enjoy the resources of the sect, have the status of a core disciple, and have no excessive restrictions. Isn't this good enough?"

"That's true…"

Fang Youli frowned.

"In that case, I will take my leave."

Fang Youli strutted out. "This Fang Youli would become the leading disciple of the Swallow Heron Sect in the future."

Cheng Zengtao had the same evaluation of Fang Youli as Xu Ning.

"You have observed Fang Youli for half a year, do you have any new understanding of him?"

Xu Ning asked.

"This kid has a straightforward personality. Although he has been in the sect for more than half a year and has learned some social skills, his nature has not changed."

Cheng Zengtao said, "According to my half a year of observation, I am basically certain that his physique is very special, similar to the advancement of a demon beast's bloodline. His breakthroughs are all natural breakthroughs after his body reaches its limit."

"I also asked about his past in detail, but apart from knowing that he was adopted by his foster father in the mountains when he was a child, I didn't find anything else."

"No matter what, Fang Youli's background is extraordinary…"

Xu Ning said, "Since his identity is imprinted with the mark of the Swallow Heron Sect, then let's do our best to cultivate him."

"Mmm…"

Cheng Zengtao responded. "I heard from Cheng Xiu that the sect has changed a lot."

Xu Ning changed the topic.

After hearing Xu Ning mention this, Cheng Zengtao's face showed a hint of pride.

Afterwards, Cheng Zengtao told Xu Ning everything that had happened in the Swallow Heron Sect during Xu Ning's absence.

He explained in more detail than Cheng Xiu.

Xu Ning listened to Cheng Zengtao's explanation and gained a better understanding of the current Swallow Heron Sect.

Among the news, what Xu Ning was most interested in was that the Swallow Heron Sect had established a complete martial arts resource trading system with the help of the Harmony King Mansion.

Now that half a year had passed, the Swallow Heron Sect's martial arts resources trade had achieved a balance of income.

In a few years, they would be able to run a surplus. At that time, Xu Ning and the others would no longer need to spend extra resources to ensure the development of the sect.

Xu Ning could even enjoy some resource feedback from the Swallow Heron Sect.

"Good job, you did well."

After listening to Cheng Zengtao, Xu Ning praised.

In fact, Cheng Zengtao did not need Xu Ning's praise.

As a loyal disciple before the dissolution of the Swallow Heron Sect, seeing the Swallow Heron Sect getting better by the day was Cheng Zengtao's greatest pleasure.

Vds

"Oh yeah."

Xu Ning thought of something. "I have already killed Wind Parasol Pavilion's Cen Yumou and Green Edge Sect's Liang Tingang."

"What?!"

Cheng Zengtao was so shocked that his whole body went numb.

"Sect Master, are you serious?"

Cheng Zengtao was not questioning Xu Ning's authority, but this news was too shocking for him.

He had personally experienced the destruction of the Swallow Heron Sect, and his master was forced to beg for death, so Cheng Zengtao hated Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang to the core.

They were Cheng Zengtao's most hated enemies.

But now, these two enemies were suddenly killed, and it was done by the current Sect Master of the Swallow Heron Sect, which shocked Cheng Zengtao.

"Of course."

Xu Ning said, "Moreover, their sect elites have all been wiped out. Even if there are still some surviving disciples in their sect area, they are probably not far from falling apart."

Xu Ning knew very well that the moment Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang schemed against Xue Jinghua, Mo Lan had already placed them on the list of annihilations.

Cheng Zengtao's body trembled slightly. "Good, good…"

The rebuilding of the Swallow Heron Sect was complete, and the revenge was done. Cheng Zengtao had no more regrets about the painful experience that he had to go through. Cheng Zengtao looked at Xu Ning with fanaticism in his eyes.

In just a very short time, Xu Ning did what he thought he would never be able to do in his life. "Okay, do what you have to do. I have been traveling all this time, so I want to rest."

After explaining everything, Xu Ning didn't plan to talk anymore.

"Yes, Sect Master."

Cheng Zengtao said respectfully before quickly leaving

He wanted to quickly tell this news to the old disciples of the Swallow Heron Sect.

After having to experience the destruction of the Swallow Heron Sect back then, they would definitely be overjoyed at the news. After Cheng Zengtao left, Xu Ning released Gray and Cyan. At the same time, Xu Ning asked Gray to summon the dao realm demon beasts they had captured overseas and to make them guard the Swallow Heron Sect.

With the existence of these dao realm demon beasts, the combat power of the Swallow Heron Sect had become stronger.

'When the time is right, I have to help Gray repair the damaged core of the Demon Beast Scroll.'

Xu Ning secretly thought.

As his realm improved and his knowledge broadened, Xu Ning was certain that this Demon Beast Scroll was a top-notch secret treasure.

Xu Ning inferred that the beast tamer back then was not a top master that had refined the Demon Beast Scroll, but a successor of the Demon Beast Scroll.

However, he was unable to control the Demon Beast Scroll, causing it to be damaged.

Xu Ning felt that the first owner of the Demon Beast Scroll should be a top powerhouse in the high stages of the dao realm, or even at the limit of the dao realm.

Over the next period of time, Xu Ning did not go anywhere else. He just stayed in the sect, refined some pills, absorbed some resources, and taught his disciples.

Xu Ning even personally followed Fang Youli and sensed his advancement path, but he didn't notice anything special for the time being.

On this day.

A disciple guarding the gate came to the main peak.

"Sect Master, there are people outside the sect who want to see you."

The disciples guarding the gates of the Swallow Heron Sect were all outer disciples, and their strength was all in the mortal realm.

He was both excited and nervous when facing Xu Ning. As Xu Ning's deeds were spread by Cheng Zengtao in the sect, almost every disciple of the Swallow Heron Sect regarded Xu Ning as the absolute core and spiritual pillar of the sect.

"Who wants to see me?"

Xu Ning asked.

Generally speaking, when ordinary visitors came to visit the higher ups of the Swallow Heron Sect, unless they had an agreement with each other, they would be driven away.

Those that needed the disciples to come personally and asked if they wanted to meet were all of relatively special status.

Although this kind of person didn't have a meeting agreement, because of their status, they couldn't just ask them to leave.

"A man and a woman came. They said that they came from the Abyss North and that they are your old friends."

The disciple answered truthfully.

"Old friends from the Abyss North?"

Xu Ning's calm expression changed slightly.

"Yes."

The disciple said, "One of them is called He Mingye, and the other is called Si Ying."

"Senior Brother He, Senior Sister Si!"

Xu Ning smiled.

He didn't expect these two to suddenly come. 'I wonder if they came after breaking through, or if they came by ship with other dao realm masters…'

'If it's the former, then the two of them must have had their own lucky encounters in the past two years!'

Xu Ning knew very well that with their talents, it was unrealistic for them to break through to the dao realm within two years.

Afterwards, Xu Ning moved and disappeared on the spot.

Xu Ning was quite eager to see his old friends. "Senior Brother He, Senior Sister Si…"

After seeing Xu Ning disappear, the disciple began to think about Xu Ning's words.

He was certain that the man and woman had a high status in the Sect Master's heart.

'When I faced them just now, my attitude was humble and polite, so I shouldn't have left a bad impression on them…'

The disciple thought about his actions and sighed in relief.

At this moment.

At the entrance of the Swallow Heron Sect.

He Mingye and Si Ying stood with their heads high. They were both shocked by the scale of the Swallow Heron Sect.

Originally, the two of them planned to go to the Source Sect in State Wansheng to ask about Xu Ning

But halfway through their journey, when they passed by the neighboring states of State Wansheng, they discovered that the reputation of the Swallow Heron Sect in State Guqing had spread beyond State Guqing.

The Swallow Heron Sect, which they thought was not famous, had become a major sect in State Guqing.

At first, He Mingye and Si Ying were in disbelief, afraid that it was just a coincidence.

Afterwards, when they went to State Guqing to ask around, they learned that the current Sect Master of the Swallow Heron Sect was named Xu Ning, and that the sect had suddenly risen into power in the past two years. Only then did they know that they were not wrong.

This was the Swallow Heron Sect that Xu Ning had rebuilt.

Report chapter

Chapter 278 Tao Tao's Letter

"Sure enough, with Xu Ning's aptitude and ability, even if he came to State Wansheng from the Abyss North, he is still a top-notch existence."

He Mingye sighed as he looked at the powerful sect in front of him.

Si Ying was also full of anticipation.

The first time she met Xu Ning was when Xu Ning saved her life.

Ever since then, Si Ying had always worshiped Xu Ning.

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister Si!"

The two were waiting when they suddenly saw a figure flash in front of them.

Xu Ning walked forward with a smile on his face.

"Xu Ning!"

After seeing Xu Ning appear, He Mingye and Si Ying also showed the joy of reuniting with their old friend.

"I didn't expect the both of you to come to me!"

Xu Ning felt warm in his heart when he saw the two familiar faces.

This feeling of meeting his old friends in a foreign land after two years was very warm. "Come, let's go to the sect!"

Afterwards, Xu Ning personally led the two to the main peak.

Xu Ning brewed a cup of spiritual medicinal tea for each of them.

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister Si, when did you break through to the dao realm?"

Xu Ning asked at this moment.

When Xu Ning saw the two of them, he noticed that they had both advanced to the first stage of the dao realm.

"We both had our own lucky encounters." He Mingye told Xu Ning about the process of his and Si Ying's advancements. "Our advancement was quite lucky."

Si Ying smiled and said, "We were both relying on external forces, so our foundation is not particularly strong."

"It's fine."

Xu Ning said, "State Wansheng has rich spiritual energy and a better cultivation environment. It can help to stabilize your foundation in a short period of time. Plus, you have broken through to the dao realm at such a young age, so you are considered above average in State Wansheng."

He Mingye and Si Ying were both in their thirties.

Judging by the lifespan of a dao realm master, there was still a lot of cultivation time ahead of them.

"Xu Ning, we didn't expect you to rebuild the Swallow Heron Sect to this extent in just two years. It's unbelievable."

He Mingye said, "If Senior Wan Ye knows that you have led the Swallow Heron Sect to this point, he will definitely be very happy. He might even rush here from the Abyss North."

"I was just lucky."

Xu Ning said modestly. He Mingye and Si Ying just smiled. They knew that Xu Ning was very humble.

At the same time, seeing that Xu Ning was still the same as before, without changing his attitude towards them because of his strength and status, the two were very happy. "How is Senior Wan Ye now?"

Xu Ning asked the two about Wan Ye since they had mentioned him.

"Although Senior Wan Ye's old injuries have not been completely healed, his injuries are now under control."

He Mingye said, "Senior Wan Ye said that the pills you gave him before leaving the Abyss North were very useful."

"That's good."

After hearing that Wan Ye's injuries were under control, Xu Ning nodded.

With Xu Ning's current level, he could easily refine more effective pills to heal Wan Ye's injuries.

With just a period of recuperation, Xu Ning could return Wan Ye to his peak state.

Xu Ning planned to take the time to return to the Abyss North and completely heal Wan Ye's injuries. "Master, Qiu Renshan, Du Yuan, and Duan Qinghui, are they all okay?"

Xu Ning asked again.

Qiu Renshan, Du Yuan, and Duan Qinghui forcibly broke through to the dao realm and were seriously injured by the people of the Jade Night Sect. They had to rest for several years. "The three elders are in good condition, but it will take five years for them to completely recover."

He Mingye said, "The three of them plan to come to State Wansheng in five years."

"As for Master, he has already condensed an attribute seed, and he is still condensing a second one. If Master wants to break through to the dao realm, it may take a longer time."

"I see…"

Xu Ning nodded.

Mi Xingye was the leader of a large sect in the Abyss North.

But in State Wansheng, it was only considered not bad.

"By the way, Xu Ning."

He Mingye took out a letter and handed it to him.

"Who wrote this?"

Xu Ning asked.

"Take a look for yourself."

He Mingye smiled.

Xu Ning took it and looked at the childish handwriting on the envelope. On it were the words "Dear Uncle".

"Tao Tao?"

Xu Ning's eyes lit up. When Xu Ning left, Tao Tao's writing was still incomplete, and her writing was crooked. Now it seemed that although it was still a little tender, it was very straight.

Xu Ning quickly opened the letter and read it.

Xu Ning's mouth was curled up as he read.

Xu Ning read the letter that contained several hundred words for a while.

"This Tao Tao…"

After reading it, Xu Ning carefully put away the letter.

In the letter, Tao Tao told him about the Tao family.

First, Tao Tao herself entered the Source Sect and became the disciple of Sect Master Feng Xiu.

Because of Xu Ning, Feng Xiu valued her greatly.

Tao Tao also knew that she couldn't embarrass her uncle Xu Ning, so she practiced martial arts extremely hard.

Tao Tao was only nine years old, but she was already in the mortal realm sixth stage through her own efforts and the medicinal pills left behind by Xu Ning.

However, this result was only gained after she had spent a lot of time building a good foundation.

Although Tao Tao was far inferior to Xu Ning, Xu Ning was already very satisfied with this cultivation speed.

In addition to Tao Tao herself, she also mentioned her parents, Xu Ning's brother-in-law Tao Yunchuan and sister Xu Lian.

Although the two of them did not practice martial arts, because they had taken medicinal pills, they were forcibly pushed to the high level of the mortal realm.

They didn't have any actual combat experience. The so-called advancement in the martial arts realm was just a way to strengthen their bodies.

Tao Yunchuan and Xu Lian had been living in Yunying City and were staying with the Wei family in order to take care of Tao Tao.

Because of Xu Ning's prestige, their lives were relatively comfortable.

The only discomfort was that they were too far away from their hometown.

Tao Tao mentioned Guo Ye at in the tailend letter.

The changes of Guo Ye's life surprised Xu Ning.

Over the past two years, Guo Ye had gotten married and even had a son!

Xu Ning looked at the letter and almost laughed out loud.

Xu Ning wanted to go back and take Guo Ye's son as his godson.

"It's only been two years, but so much has changed…"

Xu Ning sighed ruefully.

Tao Tao had become a big kid, and Guo Ye had a son.

"When the time is right, let's go back to the Abyss North and take a look."

Si Ying also sensed Xu Ning's homesickness and said.

"Mmm…"

Xu Ning nodded.

"By the way, Senior Brother, Senior Sister Si…"

After another conversation, Xu Ning asked, "What are your plans after coming to State Wansheng?"

"Nothing in particular."

He Mingye said straightforwardly, "I already thought about it before coming here, we are here to seek shelter from you."

Xu Ning laughed. "Okay, then the both of you can join the Swallow Heron Sect."

"Okay!"

He Mingye and Si Ying responded at the same time.

They were satisfied. For ordinary outsiders in State Wansheng, it would take more than a decade or even decades to gain a foothold.

But because of Xu Ning, they had a place to stay in State Wansheng.

With Xu Ning taking care of them, they no longer had to worry about their cultivation resources and their safety.

"However, if you join the sect, I can only give you the status of a prospective elder first. Otherwise, there may be dissatisfaction in the sect."

Xu Ning said bluntly.

"Up to you."

He Mingye and Si Ying did not care.

They were not interested in gaining authority in the Swallow Heron Sect.

"However…"

He Mingye suddenly said, "Before officially joining the Swallow Heron Sect, we have to go to the Source Sect in State Wansheng first."

"The Source Sect has a way to communicate with the Abyss North, so we have to deliver the news that we have arrived safely. Moreover, Sect Master Feng Xiu in the Abyss North also asked us to go to the Source Sect in State Wansheng to take a look." "Sure."

Xu Ning nodded.

Previously, after Xu Ning safely arrived at the Abyss North, he had asked the Source Sect to help deliver the news.

"Xu Ning, have you contacted the Source Sect in State Wansheng recently?"

He Mingye asked.

"No."

Xu Ning said, "Ever since we parted ways in State Wansheng, we haven't met again."

"Is that so…"

He Mingye pondered and said, "The reason why Sect Master Feng Xiu asked us to visit the Source Sect after coming to State Wansheng is because there has been no news from State Wansheng for more than a year, and it made Sect Master Feng Xiu a little worried." "Oh?"

Xu Ning raised his eyebrows.

Xu Ning knew that the connection between the two Source Sects was through a special tool.

However, that special tool was not a two-way connection, but a one-way connection.

Only State Wansheng could deliver news to the Abyss North, but not the other way around.

When the Jade Night Sect invaded the Abyss North, it was a one-way message from State Wansheng to the Abyss North.

"Is that so…"

Xu Ning thought for a moment. "In this case, I will go with you in a few days."

Over the past two years since Xu Ning came to State Wansheng, he had no contact with the Source Sect, although Teng Yunkong and Gu Man had both invited Xu Ning.

Moreover, because State Guqing and State Fengling, where the Source Sect was located, were far apart, they had not heard any news from each other.

After being busy for two years, Xu Ning decided to visit them now that he had some time.

"That is a good time to leave." He Mingye said, "In that case, we will leave in three days."

"Okay."

Xu Ning responded.

"Sect Master!"

Cheng Zengtao suddenly rushed to the main peak.

He learned from his disciple that the Sect Naster's friends from the Abyss North were here, so he quickly rushed over to meet him. "Senior Brother Cheng, good timing."

Xu Ning initially wanted to find Cheng Zengtao and ask him to personally help He Mingye and Si Ying integrate with the sect, but now he came here on his own. "These two are my senior brother and my senior sister in the Abyss North, He Mingye and Si Ying. They are both in the first stage of the dao realm, and I plan to appoint them as prospective elders of the sect. Please make the arrangements."

Xu Ning said.

"Yes, Sect Master."

Cheng Zengtao responded. Xu Ning's request was not unreasonable. It was reasonable for two dao realm masters to become prospective elders of the sect.

Plus, even if Xu Ning appointed them as official elders, no one in the sect would express their dissatisfaction.

Report chapter

Chapter 279 The Source Sect's Crisis

A month later.

State Fengling

Inside a suburban sect.

In a dark room, there were only candlelights flickering

There were two men in the room, and both of them had serious expressions on their faces.

"Sect Master, are we really going to the canton sect conference?"

One of the men took the initiative to ask.

If Xu Ning was here, he would recognize that this man was Teng Yunkong from the Source Sect in State Wansheng.

Xu Ning, Teng Yunkong, and Gu Man had once traveled together on the Endless Sea.

"Yes."

The man called Sect Master by Teng Yunkong spat out a word with difficulty.

The man's hair was black and white, and his eyes were full of vicissitudes.

He was the Sect Master of State Wansheng's Source Sect, Xin Andao, a dao realm second stage astral qi realm master.

"But I feel that the canton sect conference this time will be very disadvantageous tos…"

Teng Yunkong looked troubled.

"Indeed."

Xin Andao said, "It's just that we have no choice. If we don't go this time, we will definitely be talked about by others, saying that we are not harmonious with the sects in the canton. If this spreads, they will definitely use this as an excuse to target us. Moreover, our Source Sect is an unofficial sect. If we are attacked by a group, we will face a crisis of destruction."

"Crisis of destruction…"

After hearing this, Teng Yunkong felt a chill on his back.

"These people are too greedy!"

Teng Yunkong suddenly spat out angrily.

Several years ago, the disciples of the Source Sect accidentally discovered a mine near the sect.

Below the mine, it was filled with green-patterned winter iron ore.

The green-patterned winter iron was an extremely valuable material that could be used to forge a dao weapon.

In the martial arts resource market, the demand for green-patterned winter iron was quite high.

After discovering the green-patterned winter iron ore mine, the Sect Master and elders of the Source Sect were overjoyed.

They knew very well that for a sect like theirs with no foundation, if they wanted to quickly grow, they had to either have a backer, a top genius in the sect, or grasp some high-value resources.

And this opportunity was presented right in front of them.

However, after their joy subsided, the Sect Master and elders of the Source Sect realized a serious problem.

Although they had discovered a green-patterned winter iron ore mine near the sect, once this news spread, other nearby sects would definitely target them.

The Source Sect was not an official sect with a sect token. If other sects wanted to plunder them, it would not be difficult. Therefore, the Source Sect had been extremely cautious and low-key when mining the green-patterned winter iron ores.

But even so, the secret of the green-patterned winter iron ore mine was exposed in less than three months.

Instantly, the Source Sect became a fat piece of meat. Many sects in the canton, whether they had a sect token or not, were eyeing it covetously.

During this critical period, Xin Andao found a way to survive the crisis.

When Xin Andao first came to State Wansheng, he got to know a disciple of an official sect.

Afterwards, the disciple grew up to be an elder of the sect.

After Xin Andao got the man's help and gave away some of the mining rights of the green-patterned winter iron ore mine, he temporarily protected the Source Sect's safety.

But even so, the Source Sect still had to bear the pressure from all parties.

However, compared to the sect's previous predicament, this result was already quite

good.

After Xin Andao finished making all the arrangements, he thought that he could continue to mine the green-patterned winter iron ore.

However, more than a year ago, the official sect elder who Xin Andao had gotten help from had died in an accident, causing the Source Sect to lose its protection again.

The various sects in the county who had been restraining their greed suddenly released their evil intentions towards the Source Sect.

Especially recently, Xin Andao noticed that the major sects in the canton had secretly joined forces and planned to attack the Source Sect, in order to snatch the green-patterned winter iron ore mine and divide it.

And in the coming canton sect conference, there were sects that planned to use this opportunity to pressure the Source Sect.

This was why when Xin Andao and Teng Yunkong communicated, the two both felt tremendous pressure.

"Sect Master, if they really exert pressure on us during the sect conference, what should we do?"

Teng Yunkong was worried.

"If it really comes to that…."

Xin Ando paused for a moment. "Then we can only cut off our arms to survive."

"Give up the green-patterned winter iron ore mine?"

Teng Yunkong's expression was painful.

He knew very well that this was the only opportunity for the Source Sect to rise.

If they could mine this green-patterned winter iron ore mine for a few decades, they would have the opportunity to improve the quality of the entire sect.

But if they gave up the green-patterned winter iron ore mine, they could not be sure when the next opportunity for the sect to soar would come, or even whether this opportunity would appear ever again.

"There is no better way…"

Xin Andao was a little helpless.

"Go back."

Xin An said, "Organize the disciples that are participating in the sect conference. We will prepare normally for this sect conference."

"Understood."

Teng Yunkong seemed a little lonely as he walked out of the room with a depressed mood.

"Source Sect…"

Xin Andao was exhausted.

A few days went by.

State Fengling, Zuiyue Canton, Yuxiang County.

This was the center of Zuiyue Canton.

"State Wansheng is State Wansheng. Even on the road, void realm martial artists are everywhere, and dao realm masters are also occasionally seen."

He Mingye spoke.

At this moment, Xu Ning, He Mingye, and Si Ying had all arrived at the Source Sect.

They passed through Yuxiang County and arrived at the outskirts, where the Source Sect was stationed.

"Yeah…"

Si Ying also sighed at the prosperity of State Wansheng. "Moreover, the most surprising thing is that martial arts masters and ordinary people can coexist together. In the city, because of the existence of the Imperial Court's laws, everyone's status is equal, and they are not afraid of being threatened by the difference in martial arts strength."

Xu Ning walked between the two without interrupting.

When Xu Ning first came to State Wansheng, his behavior was the same as the two.

"Huh?"

As he walked along the street, Xu Ning noticed that there were martial artists in uniform rushing towards the east of Yuxiang County.

These people were obviously from a sect. Xu Ning had discovered that more than one group was rushing to the east. "Yuxiang County seems to be holding a sect conference." Xu Ning said. "A sect conference?"

After Xu Ning finished speaking, He Mingye and Si Ying's eyes lit up.

"I wonder if we can take a look?"

He Mingye and Si Ying had just arrived in State Wansheng, so they were extremely curious about the sects in State Wansheng.

Currently, except for the Swallow Heron Sect behind Xu Ning, they had never seen other sects.

"Let's find a place to rest first."

Xu Ning said, "Then, we'll find someone to ask about what kind of sect activity it is."

"Okay."

He Mingye and Si Ying quickly agreed.

They all wanted to take this opportunity to experience the local culture of State Wansheng.

Xu Ning led the two into a luxurious restaurant.

They ordered dishes cooked with precious ingredients. With He Mingye and Si Ying's current cultivation, they could solidify their foundation after eating them.

After serving the dishes, Xu Ning stopped the waiter.

He threw two Pure Source Pills to the waiter, whose eyes lit up. "Is there a sect conference in Yuxiang County?" Xu Ning asked directly.

The waiter was very enthusiastic. "Yes, guest. Today at Yuxiang County, there will be a sect conference for all sects in Zuiyue Canton. Most of the big and small sects will participate."

"Then do they let outsiders in?"

Xu Ning asked again. "Sure…"

The waiter said, "It's just that for outsiders to watch, each person must pay a hundred Pure Source Pills."

"A hundred Pure Source Pills…"

Xu Ning nodded.

A hundred Pure Source Pills was not a lot. Even He Mingye and Si Ying could easily take it out.

"There is a sect near Yuxiang County called the Source Sect. The Source Sect should also participate in this sect conference, right?"

He Mingye asked the waiter.

"Of course."

The waiter responded.

Afterwards, he lowered his voice. "Apparently, part of the reason for this conference is to pressure the Source Sect."

"Oh?"

When the waiter was done, Xu Ning and the other two frowned.

The meaning of this waiter's words was obvious—the Source Sect was in a difficult situation.

"Why are they pressuring them?"

Si Ying asked.

"For resources…"

Perhaps because he came into contact with a lot of news every day, the waiter knew a lot about the Source Sect.

He then explained the situation of the Source Sect to the three of them.

"I see…" The three of them suddenly realized after the waiter finished speaking.

"You can leave first."

Xu Ning rewarded the waiter with another two Pure Source Pills.

The waiter couldn't help but smile.

Four Pure Source Pills was half a year of his harvest.

"Thank you, thank you!"

The waiter left happily.

"It seems that Sect Master Feng Xiu is right."

He Mingye said, "The Source Sect in State Wansheng is really in trouble."

"Junior Brother Xu, can we help them?"

Si Ying looked at Xu Ning.

Although they had joined the Swallow Heron Sect and were below Xu Ning, they still called each other with the same terms as before.

"Let's wait and see."

Xu Ning did not immediately give an affirmative answer.

However, Xu Ning felt that with his strength, he should be able to resolve this matter.

Zuiyue Canton was not a strong canton. The top masters in the canton might only be in the fifth stage of the dao realm. With his combat power that was comparable to the peak of the dao realm sixth stage, no one was his opponent.

Logically speaking, Xu Ning must help the Source Sect.

But now that they were in State Fengling, they had no power to rely on.

But now that they were in State Fengling, they had no power to rely on.

Even if he wanted to help the Source Sect, Xu Ning could only rely on his own strength.

"Let's eat first."

Xu Ning said, "After dinner, let's go to the venue of the sect conference."

"Okay."

He Mingye and Si Ying nodded.

After enjoying the food, the three left the restaurant and rushed towards the east of Yuxiang County.

Chapter 280 Going Too Far

"The location of the sect conference is a good

place…"

Xu Ning, He Mingye, and Si Ying found the location of the sect conference in Zuiyue Canton.

It was taking place in a flower garden. The spring flowers and emerald leaves in the garden were full of vitality.

Sect disciples continued to enter. At the same time, people who were not from sects entered after handing in Pure Source Pills.

Xu Ning and the other two also arrived at the entrance of the flower garden and handed over 300 Pure Source Pills.

Afterwards, they walked into the garden.

Xu Ning and the others were led to a stand by a staff member.

The open space below was where the various sects would spar during the sect conference.

The venue was more than half full, and the disciples of the various sects were all on high alert.

Especially the young disciples from the various sects, whose eyes were filled with fighting spirit. They all hoped to stand out in this conference and gain the favor of their sect's higher-ups, thereby obtaining more resources.

'The Source Sect hasn't arrived yet…'

Xu Ning looked around, but he couldn't find any traces of Teng Yunkong and Gu Man. "The strongest person in the field currently is only in the dao realm fourth stage.'

Xu Ning sensed this.

As Xu Ning had inferred previously, Zuiyue Canton was not a strong canton, and there were not many experts here.

"Every time I see this kind of scene, I think of the demon slaying conference in the Yuelan Sect more than three years ago."

He Mingye looked at the scene in front of him and said with a smile, "Junior Brother, you showed off at the demon slaying conference in the sect and were selected as a disciple by Master."

"From then on, you were unstoppable on the path of martial arts. You quickly shook off everyone and finally reached the dao realm."

Xu Ning listened and also smiled.

He remembered it clearly.

"Look, isn't that someone from the Source Sect?"

Si Ying pointed in another direction.

Xu Ning and He Mingye looked over.

"They should be. They are wearing the same uniform as the disciples of the Source Sect in the Abyss North."

He Mingye said firmly.

"Yes, it's them."

Xu Ning also found Teng Yunkong and Gu Man in the team.

"There are five dao realm masters from the Source Sect, one of them is in the second stage of the dao realm, while the other four are in the first stage of the dao realm, the body smelting realm…"

Xu Ning stared at the Source Sect's leader for a long time.

Xu Ning knew that this astral qi realm master should be Xin Andao, the Sect Master of the Source Sect.

"Sect Master, these people do not have good intentions…"

As they were walking into the venue, Teng Yunkong followed behind Xin Andao.

He looked at the other disciples and noticed that everyone was looking at them with a teasing look.

Xin Andao did not speak, but there was a hint of caution and coldness in his eyes.

The Source Sect found their seats and sat down. The atmosphere of the entire team was a little depressing, no one talked.

Both the elders and disciples had solemn expressions.

In contrast, after the other sects entered the venue, the senior executives of the other sects chatted enthusiastically.

'Sure enough, just like what the waiter said, the Source Sect is not doing well.'

Xu Ning kept looking in the direction of the Source Sect and discovered that they were obviously isolated.

"Shall we go over and reunite with them?"

Si Ying asked Xu Ning.

"No hurry."

Xu Ning said, "Let's see what happens first."

There were more and more people in the venue. The stands in the flower garden were full of people, leaving only the center of the stage empty.

Not long after, someone suddenly shouted.

"Canton Governor Ji has arrived!"

Instantly, the elders and disciples of the various sects all stood up and looked in the direction of the canton governor.

The Canton Governor of Zuiyue Canton was a middle-aged man. His bearing was extremely similar to Wei Xiongjian of Guanghe Canton.

'Dao realm fifth stage…'

Xu Ning noticed that Canton Governor Ji's realm was similar to his.

However, Xu Ning easily sensed his strength, while Canton Governor Ji could not even notice Xu Ning's existence.

It was not because Xu Ning used the Aura Concealment Ring to hide his aura, but because he was purely stronger, and thus could completely hide his aura.

"Canton Governor Ji!"

Instantly, the higher-ups of the various large sects greeted Canton Governor Ji.

Canton Governor Ji not only had a high status, but he was also the strongest person here, allowing him to enjoy great prestige.

"Everyone, please sit!"

Canton Governor Ji waved his hand. "I'm only here to watch the glory of the various sects. I'm just a spectator. No need to pay too much attention to me."

After that, Canton Governor Ji sat on an empty chair next to the stage. Beside him were the sect masters of two sects. The two sect masters were both dao realm fourth stage masters.

These two looked in the direction of the Source Sect from time to time while they chatted and laughed with Canton Governor Ji.

Not long after Canton Governor Ji arrived, the sun hung at the highest point in the sky.

At that time, someone walked to the stage and began to host the sect conference.

The host said some routine words before explaining the process of this sect conference.

First, disciples from all sides would draw lots to spar. Next, it would be the elders and sect masters' turn to challenge each other.

This made many outsiders who took out the one hundred Pure Source Pills to enter feel satisfied.

Not only could they see the fights between the disciples of the sect, but they could also see the competition between the senior executives and dao realm masters. This was extremely rare.

Afterwards, disciples from all sides began to fight.

"The disciples of State Wansheng do not just have higher realms, but they also have a deeper understanding of martial arts!" He Mingye, who was sitting in the stands, looked at the spars between the void realm disciples and sighed.

"That's right, the outstanding disciples of the Abyss North can hardly compete with them."

Si Ying said, "State Wansheng's martial arts foundation is terrifying." This was the first time Xu Ning was observing a competition between disciples of State Wansheng.

He also noticed that compared to these people, the gap between his own disciples of the Swallow Heron Sect was quite obvious.

"It's time for the Source Sect's disciples to go on stage!"

Xu Ning and the other two watched carefully.

On the stage, a Source Sect disciple and a disciple of another sect were both in the void realm ninth stage.

As soon as the two sides got on the stage, they did not show any courtesy. They immediately activated their domains and fought fiercely.

"So intense!"

He Mingye was excited.

"Both sides are extremely devious when they attack. This is not just a spar…"

Xu Ning narrowed his eyes. He discovered that the fights between the Source Sect disciples were much more intense than before.

In the previous fights, they would restrain themselves. After all, they knew that the fights were not too serious.

V

But the two people on the stage were obviously fierce. If they were careless, they could be seriously injured.

Bang!

Suddenly, the opponent disciple waved his hand and hit the Source Sect disciple in the chest.

The chest of the Source Sect disciple instantly collapsed, and a mouthful of blood spewed out as he fainted in the air.

But even so, the opponent disciple did not let him go. Instead, he attacked continuously in the air, causing the Source Sect disciple to be injured even more.

When he landed on the ground, his clothes were completely soaked in blood. "They're too much!"

Below the stage, Teng Yunkong was furious.

The armrest of the chair under him had been crushed.

Teng Yunkong was about to rush onto the stage, but was stopped by Xin Andao. "Teng Yunkong, calm down!"

Xin Andao's face was also pale, but he still maintained his sense of rationality and restrained his anger.

"Sect Master!"

Teng Yunkong gritted his teeth and sat down.

"Those people are eager for you to rush forward. They are waiting for you to lose control in your anger, then find a reason to seriously injure or even kill you."

Gu Man next to him also grabbed Teng Yunkong's arm. "If you really want to vent your anger, just challenge others."

Teng Yunkong calmed down with difficulty.

On the stands, Xu Ning and the other two had ugly expressions. Although they were not from the Source Sect, the Source Sect came from the Abyss North, and they also came from the abyss north.

This felt like they were watching their fellow countrymen being bullied by others overseas.

"It's called a spar, but you don't deal blows that heavy in a spar!"

He Mingye was furious.

Si Ying was also very dissatisfied. "They are obviously aiming to kill someone."

Xu Ning didn't speak.

However, he also knew that the Source Sect might be in more danger in the upcoming spars. Sure enough, everything was as Xu Ning expected.

Every time the Source Sect disciples went on stage to spar, the other party would send out powerful people.

Not only were they strong, but they were also ruthless. They were all disciples with actual combat experience.

The Source Sect failed one after another, and many people were seriously injured, which made the Source Sect's mood fall further and further.

Xin Andao, Teng Yunkong, Gu Man, and the others were angry, but they were helpless. And at this moment, two sect leaders were talking in a low voice.

"Look at those people from the Source Sect…"

The one who spoke was a fat man with a thick beard. There was a hint of mockery in his tone.

"They are not strong enough, yet they want to occupy such a large amount of green-patterned winter iron ore. They really don't know their

place."

The other person was wearing a long robe, and his eyes were thin. He looked ruthless.

"If it weren't for the Canton Governor's reputation, I would have joined forces with a few sects and razed the Source Sect to the ground."

The bearded man sneered. "A small sect established by an outsider wants to swallow so many resources. How arrogant."

"But now, seeing the Source Sect disciples lying down one by one, I feel quite comfortable."

The ruthless man chuckled.

"Not just their disciples, but we shall also make their Sect Master lie down later."

The bearded man looked at Xin Andao from afar.

"Oh? Why, you want to attack him personally?"

The ruthless man sensed the meaning in the bearded man's words.

"It's not good to attack them off stage, but defeating him on the stage is fine."

The bearded man said, "If we can 'accidentally kill him on the stage, it will be more convenient to divide the green-patterned winter iron ore mine afterwards."
