The two of them had just entered the Sea Dragon Holy City when Ning Cheng saw three people swiftly walking over, looking like they were going out of the city. One of them, a tall silver-haired woman, was the one who had come over with Gong Chi earlier. Along with this silver-haired woman were a Dao Yuan Saint Emperor and a Dao Transformation Saint Emperor, and Ning Cheng did not see Yin Yue Shu and Zhu Xiuxian of the Sunken Fish Palace.
“That’s him, he’s the one who injured Brother Chi.” The tall silver-haired woman pointed at Ning Cheng and shouted, this silver-haired woman had been staring at Ning Cheng from the side when Deacon Gorge had made his move. When Ning Cheng’s disguise mask was blasted off, she also saw it. This was the moment she took a look at Ning Cheng and recognized him.
Ning Cheng had not re-transformed his disguise, and since Deacon Gorge had been killed, naturally no one would suddenly strike at him now. Now that there was also Ba Meng with him, as a Dao Yuan Dan Saint, there was no need for him to change his disguise again.
“It was you who injured my Silver Dragon Clan’s Gong Chi?” That Dao Yuan Saint Emperor stared at Ning Cheng and asked in a cold voice.
Originally, when he saw Ning Cheng, he would have directly made a move against Ning Cheng, except that he found that things seemed to be somewhat out of his expectation, with an additional Dao Yuan Saint Emperor like Ba Meng by Ning Cheng’s side. Although he could tell that Ba Meng’s Dao Yuan Dao Rhythm had not yet stabilized, he was indeed a second-step Dao-accredited Saint Emperor.
“Not bad, I did it.” Ning Cheng said very dryly, he did not kill Gong Chi. As long as he moved out Gong ↓ Transformation Jade, he believed that this point could still be easily resolved.
“You are Bianhai Red-Haired Ba Meng, you have even attained Dao Yuan.” The Dao Transformation Saint Emperor finally recognized the Ba Meng beside Ning Cheng and said in amazement, with a kind of envy in his tone. A Saint Emperor who was once at the same Dao Transformation level as him was suddenly standing at a different height, so he couldn’t help but be envious.
Bamon said in a deep voice. “Not bad. I am Red-haired Balmung. Ning Cheng is my friend. His affairs are my affairs.”
Ba Meng did not know that Ning Cheng had a friendship with Gong Huayu of the Silver Dragon Clan, and now that he had stopped Ning Cheng and said that the person who had injured Gong Chi was obviously a powerful person from the Silver Dragon Clan, it looked like Ning Cheng had caused quite a lot of trouble this time. However, he did not care, without Ning Cheng, his father and son, Ba Meng, would have been lost long ago. Now that Ning Cheng needed his help, he, Ba Meng, was naturally obliged to do so.
The Dao Yuan Saint Emperor of the Silver Dragon Clan swept his gaze over Ba Meng for a moment before looking at Ning Cheng and saying in a light voice. “No matter who it is that injured a disciple of my Silver Dragon Clan, they must give an explanation. So, you are no exception.”
It was obvious that Ba Meng’s words did not allow this Dao Yuan Saint Emperor to spare Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng smiled blandly, “Naturally, I will give you the Silver Dragon Clan an explanation. Right now I am going to see my friend, and when my friend is no longer in trouble, I will give you an explanation.”
That Dao Yuan Saint Emperor swept a glance at Ba Meng once more, and eventually nodded his head. As long as Ning Cheng did not attempt to escape, that would be fine.
……
When Ning Cheng arrived at the original place again. Desu had already stood up, except for a somewhat depressed demeanor. The injury did not seem to be serious.
“It’s you?” Desu looked at Ning Cheng in confusion.
“You know about me?” Ning Cheng asked.
Mo nodded, “Back in Bian Su Divine Sea City, when I went to buy a jade slip, you followed me, I didn’t expect to still meet in Sea Dragon Sacred City.”
There was another sentence he did not say, back then Ning Cheng was at most similar to him, while now he was far worse than Ning Cheng. At this moment, Desi also understood why Ning Cheng, who was no acquaintance of his, was willing to help him out. There was a kind of friendship called sympathy, Ning Cheng appreciated him, and he appreciated Ning Cheng’s disposition to do what he wanted to do just as much.
Ning Cheng secretly sighed that Desu’s memory was really too powerful, back then he had merely followed behind Desu, the two of them had not even spoken half a word and Desu could remember so clearly.
Beside Desi, there stood Yin Yueshu and Cen Ruxuan, and Zhu Xiuqian, with her head bowed, stood at the end, apparently having been chided.
“Greetings, Dan Sage Ning.” When Cen Ruxuan saw Ning Cheng coming, she immediately walked over with a smile on her face, while giving a cultivator’s salute.
“Yue Shu has met Dan Sage Ning.” Yin Yueshu on the other side also hurriedly came over and saluted, the arrogance on her face had long since disappeared, replaced by a soft meekness.
Ning Cheng hurriedly returned the salute and said, “Many thanks to Senior Sister Cen for helping out my friend, and many thanks to Senior Sister Yin.”
Ning Cheng was now appearing as a Dao Yuan Dan Saint, so it was not at all against the rules for him to call Senior Sister Cen Ruxuan. As for Yin Yueshu, calling her Senior Sister was looking up to her.
Cen Ruxuan did not point out that it was inappropriate for Ning Cheng to call her Senior Sister and then call Yin Yueshu Senior Sister, instead, she giggled and said, “I wonder if Dan Sage Ning is free, if he is free, my Sinking Fish Palace would welcome Dan Sage Ning’s great presence.”
Ning Cheng smiled faintly, neither agreeing nor refusing, but merely said, “Let’s all find a resting house and sit down to chat slowly.”
Ba Meng had originally thought that there would be a vicious battle, but he did not expect Cen Ruxuan to treat Ning Cheng with such respect. Not only that, Ning Cheng called Cen Ruxuan senior sister and Cen Ruxuan seemed to think it was normal. Who was Cen Ruxuan, Ba Meng naturally knew, this was a Dao Yuan powerhouse from the Sinking Fish Palace.
Ning Cheng was an alchemist Ba Meng knew, the question was how could Ning Cheng be a Dan Saint?
Not only was Ba Meng full of doubts, but the few people from the Silver Dragon Clan looked at Ning Cheng and Cen Ruxuan in complete confusion. The Dao Yuan Saint Emperor from the Silver Dragon Clan even frowned and pondered, Cen Ruxuan and Ning Cheng were so close, so I was afraid that it would be difficult to get justice when Gong Chi was beaten.
Wait, Ning Dan Sheng? This Dao Yuan Saint Emperor instantly woke up, wasn’t this the same Ning Cheng who had helped the Young Palace Master refine the Six Yin Soul Pill?
The Ning Dan Saint who had made a big splash at the Dan Discourse Event and was going to represent the Tai Su Realm in the Five Realms Dan Competition.
After thinking about this, a cold sweat seeped out from behind this Dao Yuan Saint Emperor of the Silver Dragon Clan. Fortunately, he had not made a direct move against Ning Cheng, if he had done so, it would have been the end.
After understanding Ning Cheng’s identity, this Dao Yuan Saint Emperor hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his fist and said, “I am Gong Xi Mao of the Silver Dragon Clan, meet Dan Saint Ning.”
Ning Cheng had helped the Young Lord of the Silver Dragon Clan, Gong Huayu, refine a Six Yin Soul Pill, which was unknown to everyone in the Silver Dragon Clan. After Gong Ximao had greeted him, the other Dao Transformation Saint Emperor and the silver-haired woman hurriedly clasped their fists to greet Ning Cheng as well.
Gong Chi’s position in the Silver Dragon Clan was high, and no higher than Young Palace Master Gong Huayu. Unless one was foolish, no one from the Silver Dragon Clan would cross paths with Ning Cheng, who was considered to be Gong Huayu’s most valuable friend.
As Ning Cheng’s friend, Ba Meng did not ask although he was also full of doubts.
Seeing Ning Cheng and his group enter the nearby Rest House, Gong Chi, who was standing on the side, turned blue with anger. He was also a direct descendant of the Silver Dragon Clan, and now he finally saw clearly that compared to Gong Huayu, he was even worse than a dog.
His father, Gong Jiu Fei, was Gong Huayu’s own eldest uncle, and if Gong Huayu had not stopped him in front of him, the Young Palace Master of the Silver Dragon Clan would definitely have been his, Gong Chi’s.
……
After the group entered the Rest House box, Gong Xi Mao immediately apologized formally to Ning Cheng, and then Zhu Xiuxian and Yin Yue Shu and the others all stood up to make amends to Ning Cheng.
After everyone had been polite, Cen Ruoxuan then said, “I heard from Yue Shu that someone is having trouble with the Ning Dan Sage, I wonder if my Sinking Fish Palace can put in a little effort?”
“There’s also my Silver Dragon Clan, Ning Dan Sheng is my Silver Dragon Clan’s top guest, how dare someone be so ungrateful as to cross Ning Dan Sheng.” Gong Xi Mao didn’t show any weakness at all and immediately stood up to express his friendship.
Ning Cheng smiled faintly, “That person later knew that he was wrong, so he was persuaded to leave by me.”
Cen Ruxuan glanced at Bamun who was sitting beside Ning Cheng and said to himself that it was the right thing to take out. If you, Ning Dan Sheng, could suffer a loss, you would not be the Ning Cheng I know.
“Fellow Daoist Ning should be going to participate in the Five Realms Dan Competition, right?” Gong Xi Mao likewise wanted to draw a relationship with Ning Cheng and took the initiative to find a topic to ask about.
Ning Cheng nodded his head and said, “Yes, because some matters have gone too far recently, I rushed back this time and made use of the Sea Dragon Sacred City’s teleportation array. When the time comes, I will also have to use the Silver Dragon Clan’s and the Sinking Fish Palace’s teleportation arrays to pass by.”
This time, without waiting for Cen Ruoxuan to speak, Gong Xi Mao hurriedly said, “That’s naturally no problem, my Silver Dragon Clan’s teleportation array can be used by Ning Dan Sheng at any time. The young palace master is not out of seclusion yet, so if the Ning Dan saint is willing, he can go to my Silver Dragon clan to take a seat.”
Seeing that Cen Ruxuan seemed to be about to speak as well, Ning Cheng simply said, “My friend, Lord Sheng, has been poisoned, and I urgently want to return to Tian Su Holy City for a look, so I cannot ……”
Ning Cheng’s words ended abruptly after he had only spoken half of them.
He suddenly thought of why Sheng Houtian had been poisoned, and that was definitely what had lured him to appear. Now that he had revealed his trail in the Sea Dragon Sacred City, once the guy who had lured him out learned of it, could he be allowed to reach the Tian Su Sacred City safely?
Thinking of this, Ning Cheng secretly sighed in his heart. He had just finished off the Gorge Deacon who was chasing him for billions of miles, only to find that he was still not safe. If his identity had not been revealed, he might have been able to reach the Heavenly Vegetation Holy City in peace. Now, it seemed that he would definitely not reach the Tian Su Holy City in peace.
Cen Ruxuan and Gong Ximao were both old foxes, and when Ning Cheng’s words suddenly stopped, the two of them figured out what was going on. Ning Cheng was talking about Sung Hou Tian before he suddenly paused, obviously thinking of something.
Sheng Houtian had been struck by the Bone Tattoo Poison, and Ning Cheng happened to be able to refine the Continuing Heaven Bone Tattoo Pill. Such a coincidence, if they said that it had nothing to do with Ning Cheng, I was afraid that they would not believe it.
“Fellow Daoist Ning, my Sinking Fish Palace’s Palace Master Luan is going to make a trip to the Heavenly Su Sacred City, and I will also accompany the Palace Master there. If Daoist Friend Ning is willing, we can travel together.” Cen Ruoxuan immediately made a decision after seizing the point in question.
Gong Xi Mao likewise understood the problem, and he was anxious in his heart, but he could do nothing about it. The Silver Dragon Clan’s only Hybrid Saint Emperor was still in seclusion, and he was only in the middle Dao Yuan stage. Ning Cheng had an early Dao Yuan Emperor right beside him, and he did not know if Ning Cheng would look at him if he followed him along.
Regardless of whether Ning Cheng looked at him or not, Gong Xi Mao had no choice but to clasp his fist and say, “I am also planning to go to Tian Su Sacred City, and my Silver Dragon Clan is prepared to fully support the participation of Daoist Saint Ning in the Five Realms Dan Competition, so I wonder if I can also form a companionship with Fellow Daoist Ning?”
Ning Cheng knew what these two people meant, so of course he would not refuse, and stood up to cupped his fist and said, “Tian Su Sacred City is a long way away, and it would be much safer if there were more of us. I happen to have some time left when I arrive at the Tiansu Holy City, so I wonder if there is any place I can help Senior Sister Cen and Brother Gong?”
Cen Ruxuan and Gong Ximao were overjoyed, the reason they had said so much was that Ning Cheng was the one who had been waiting for these words.
