“It’s you?” Deacon Gorge immediately recognized Ning Cheng, and then his gaze just twitched and landed on the black arrow.
The black arrow buzzed and vibrated in the air, five-coloured coloured light flashed around it, and as a large five-coloured bow appeared, an endless killing intent swept out and locked onto Deacon Gorge.
“Stop!” Deacon Gorge flipped his hand and a jade slip appeared in his hand, “This is the jade slip of the map to go out, if you dare to send the arrow, everyone will die here. Without a way out, there will be no luck under Dao Yuan in the Tai Su Mountain Range ……”
Ning Cheng’s heart sank, he wasn’t shocked that Deacon Gorge knew what he wanted in an instant, but he was shocked that Deacon Gorge could still move after being locked by his five-coloured star splitting arrows.
Ever since he had obtained the Five-coloured Star Splitting Arrow, Deacon Gorge was the only one who could move under this kind of sanguine arrow intent lock from him. Even though his arrow intent had not yet completely swept out, his current cultivation level was much stronger than even when he had offered up the Five-coloured Star Splitting Arrow before.
“The jade slip is for you ……” Almost as soon as Deacon Gorge finished speaking, the jade slip was thrown towards Ning Cheng. There was no ban on the jade slip, and Ning Cheng could clearly scan the contents of the jade slip, which was indeed the route out of the Tai Su Demon Vein. Ning Cheng had to control the killing intent of the Five-coloured Star Splitting Arrow, otherwise the jade slip would definitely be shattered by this killing intent. Luckily, his Five-coloured Star Splitting Arrow had only just been sacrificed, and the killing intent was not enough to backfire on himself.
Otherwise, with an action like his contraction of the killing intent, it would have been a serious injury.
“Boom!” The moment Deacon Gorge controlled the Five-coloured Star Splitting Arrow killing intent of Ning Cheng, a light flashed out around him, and after the light. His entire body disappeared without a trace.
Ning Cheng raised his hand and put away the Five-coloured Star Splitting Arrow. He understood that Deacon Gorge had calculated this a long time ago. Once he had to protect the jade slip. Deacon Gorge would take the opportunity to walk away.
The fact that Deacon Gorge would rather walk away than dare to fight him meant that he had chosen the right time, and Deacon Gorge was indeed seriously injured. Similarly Deacon Gorge’s choice of timing was even more decisive and crisp, if he had delayed taking out the jade slip for a few breaths, I was afraid that he would not have had the chance to do so. Ning Cheng guessed that after Deacon Gorge had recognised the Five-coloured Star Splitting Arrow, he had reacted before the killing intent of the Five-coloured Star Splitting Arrow had completely locked onto him.
However, Ning Cheng was not half happy. In his haste, he believed that the jade slip was genuine. However, he had not taken out Deacon Gorge and exposed his Five-coloured Star Splitting Arrow again. The only consolation was that he had appeared in disguise.
His divine sense swept into the jade slip, a very clear map of the route, even with directions marked. The nearest one to him was a bearing not far away.
This time, Ning Cheng directly sacrificed his Starry Sky Wheel and followed the route marked on the jade slip, moving forward at full speed. When there was no direction, he did not dare to easily sacrifice the Starry Sky Wheel to advance at full speed. He was afraid of being surrounded. Now that he had a direction, he naturally would not be concerned. With this speed of his. Even if there were top-tier demonic beasts that wanted to chase him, they wouldn’t necessarily be able to catch up with him.
The route map given by Deacon Gorge must have been known to Deacon Gorge himself. Once Deacon Gorge recovered from his injuries and ambushed him on the route ahead of him, then he would definitely not be able to eat his way out. Now, he could only hurry while Deacon Gorge was still recovering from his injuries.
Ning Cheng’s prediction was good, and he did not meet Deacon Gorge on this hasty journey. Even if there were some demonic beasts blocking the way midway, they were left behind by Ning Cheng’s frantic speed.
After flying at the fastest speed for almost nine months or so continuously, the Starry Sky Wheel finally broke out of the Tai Su Demon Vein, and the Tai Su Sea appeared in Ning Cheng’s divine sense, which was indeed boundless, and his divine sense was completely unable to sweep a corner of it.
Ning Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, put the Starry Sky Wheel away and disguised himself as a bearded casual cultivator again.
……
A section of a hundred thousand miles from the Tai Su Demon Vein out to the edge of the Tai Su Sea was deserted, with neither demon beasts nor cultivators.
Ning Cheng had almost reached the edge of the Tai Su Sea when he saw the great defensive formation, the entrance to which was guarded by four cultivators. On top of this protective formation, the words ‘Divine Sea City’ were written. This made Ning Cheng breathe a sigh of relief, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to find anyone and wouldn’t know where he could teleport to the Tai Su Domain. If he were to cross the Tai Su Sea, he was afraid that it would take many years and he might not be able to get through.
The four guardian cultivators all looked at Ning Cheng with some suspicion, it was still rare for a person to come here alone across the Tai Su Demon Vein.
“A few fellow Daoists, may I ask if the transmission formation to the Tai Su Domain is here?” Ning Cheng walked to the entrance of the protective formation and clasped his fist, saying politely.
These four guarding cultivators, the highest cultivation level was only at the Eternal Realm. Seeing how polite Ning Cheng was, they hurriedly bowed and replied, “Yes, the first time you enter the Divine Sea City, you need to pay ten thousand top grade divine crystals, and in the future, you only need to pay one hundred divine crystals each time. There are teleportation towers inside the Divine Sea City, and there are teleportation arrays in the teleportation towers that specialize in teleporting to the Tai Su Domain.”
Several people understood what they heard, Ning Cheng’s words indicated that this was his first time coming here.
Ning Cheng’s heart was overjoyed, and without saying a word he paid 10,000 divine crystals and exchanged them for a jade talisman, before entering the protective formation. He had attacked Deacon Gorge earlier, and at this moment, Ning Cheng only wanted to leave as soon as possible. He was not sure if Deacon Gorge had sent a message to this place, according to his guesses about Deacon Gorge. Even if Deacon Gorge had sent a message to this place, it would not be known to everyone.
Entering inside the protective array, Ning Cheng realised that this was simply a seaside city, with rows and rows of merchant buildings and markets. There were many cultivators coming and going, and although it was not as good as the prosperous Holy City, it was no worse than the Broken Mao Divine City.
The three clear words “Teleportation Tower” were visible to Ning Cheng from a distance.
Ning Cheng was not in the mood to go anywhere else, so he walked straight towards the teleportation pedal with quick steps.
“Wait ……” A Dao-shaping powerhouse stopped Ning Cheng who was about to enter the teleportation tower.
Ning Cheng hurriedly said, “I want to teleport to the Tai Su Domain, why are you stopping me?”
This Shaping Dao gave Ning Cheng a fist clasp, “Fellow Daoist, please forgive me, because of various reasons, the Teleportation Tower is not open to the public for three months, and it will not be able to send you to the Tai Su Domain.”
Ning Cheng’s heart tightened and he hurriedly asked, “Why?”
This Shaping Dao Saint Emperor smiled and said, “Not only the Teleportation Tower, but also the protective array of the Divine Sea City will not allow people to go out for three months. Of course, it is possible to come in. You don’t have to worry, my friend, more than two months have passed now, and in less than half a month, the teleportation tower will open.”
After hearing this Shaping Dao Saint Emperor’s words, Ning Cheng already understood what was going on. It was definitely that Deacon Gorge who had made his move, and that Deacon Gorge would definitely arrive here within half a month. This fellow had really calculated correctly, he had estimated the approximate time he would arrive here, and that was why he had closed the Teleportation Tower for three months.
Ning Cheng was certain that in three months’ time, the guards of the teleportation array to the Tai Su Domain would have this Deacon Gorge in place. No wonder he didn’t see anyone outside the Divine Sea City, it turned out that they had all been banned from going out. In other words, he could not go out even if he wanted to now.
Ning Cheng slowly took a breath and said with a clasped fist, “This fellow Daoist, may I ask where the City Lord of Divine Sea City is, is he in the City Lord’s Palace? I am a core disciple of the River Luo Saint Sect and I have an urgent matter to return to the sect.”
After merely saying where he was from, Ning Cheng stopped talking. No matter how far away the River Luo Saint Sect was from here, the Dan Saint River Luo Saint Sect was ultimately one of the top ten sects in the Tai Su Realm. Even if a Mixed Saint Emperor from the River Luo Saint Sect came over, it could make the Divine Sea Region City eat its words.
Hearing Ning Cheng announce himself, this Shaping Dao Saint Emperor was instantly moved and hurriedly replied, “Lord Yu City is at the City Lord’s residence ……”
The City Lord’s Mansion Ning Cheng had seen when he first arrived, it was not far from the teleportation tower, without waiting for the other party to say anything further, Ning Cheng thanked him and turned around and walked briskly to the City Lord’s Mansion.
……
Half a column of incense later, Ning Cheng was already sitting in the City Master’s residence’s meeting room, thanks to his status as a disciple of the River Luo Saint Sect.
The City Lord of Divine Sea City was called Yu Xing, of medium age, with a strong aura of water attribute dao rhythm, and Ning Cheng could feel that his cultivation level was no weaker than Deacon Gorge.
“You are a disciple of the River Luo Saint Sect?” Yu Xing stared at Ning Cheng and asked in a deep voice.
Ning Cheng said without being condescending, “That’s right, I am precisely from the River Luo Saint Sect ……”
Without waiting for Ning Cheng to continue his words, Yu Xing waved his hand, “There is no need to explain to me which disciple you are, because I happen to have a disciple of the River Luo Saint Sect here, I will let you meet to find out if what you say is true or not.”
When Yu Xing finished speaking, he raised his hand and threw out a message.
Hearing these words, Ning Cheng’s heart was cold. He did not expect his luck to be so bad, there were actually disciples of the River Saint Sect here. He was prepared that if Yu Xing wanted him to produce evidence, he would take out Guo Kaige’s identity card. Guo Kaige’s meteorite was in his hands and the identity card was naturally in his possession. Now that there were people from the River Luo Sacred Sect here, Ning Cheng naturally could not impersonate them.
Yu Xing’s divine sense was completely locked onto his body and Ning Cheng knew that he absolutely could not move, once he dared to escape, Yu Xing would immediately finish him off.
“This time, the matter of the five planets appearing at the edge of the Tai Su Realm, the Tai Su Domain is taking it very seriously, most of the sects have sent their people over to check it out. As one of the top sects in the Tai Su Realm, the He Luo Saint Sect actually sent two disciples over to check it out in succession.” Yu Xing chuckled.
He had long guessed that Ning Cheng was an impostor, if he was really a disciple sent by the River Luo Sacred Sect, how could he not have come out of the teleportation formation, but came in from outside the protective formation of the Deep Sea Domain City?
Ning Cheng smiled faintly and did not reply to Yu Xing’s words, as he was anxiously thinking of a solution in his heart. Unfortunately, no matter how many solutions he came up with, the difference between his strength and Yu Xing’s was an insurmountable gulf. Yu Xing was a Dao Yuan Saint Emperor and could just kill him in seconds, so what could he use to resist?
“Lord Yu City, you’re looking for me?” A clear and crisp voice came, followed by a clear and elegant female cultivator appearing outside the guest room.
When Ning Cheng saw this female cultivator, his heart burst with wild joy because the one who came was Kong Ning, who was already an early Dao-shaping Saint Emperor. After seeing Kong Ning, Ning Cheng was immediately about to speak, he wanted to prompt Kong Ning that he was from the River Luo Saint Sect. But then Ning Cheng realised that he was unable to make a sound. The surrounding sound transmission space was locked by the prohibition inside Yu Xing’s house, unless his divine sense forcibly broke through this prohibition.
When Yu Xing saw Kong Ning enter, he smiled and said, “Yes, this fellow Daoist said that he was from the River Luo Saint Sect, and I thought that you were from the same sect, so I helped to introduce you.”
“He’s from the River Luo Saint Sect?” Empty Ning glanced at Ning Cheng and said in a puzzled manner
