Ning Cheng’s heart suddenly tightened, it wasn’t because he felt bad about this woman’s good talk. ±, but because of this woman’s cultivation, this woman’s body was covered in Dao rhythm and the space around her was filled with a powerful rule aura. Ning Cheng did not even need to check the other party’s cultivation level to know that this woman was at least a Mixed Yuan powerhouse.
“That’s not true, this place is not mine, I’m just here to see my sister.” Ning Cheng hurriedly said.
“When we came here, this place was empty. It was because someone brought me here and allowed me to cultivate here that I stayed until today. As for your sister, and the Xi’er you mentioned, I have truly never met her.” The blue-skirted woman said in a conciliatory manner.
Ning Cheng hesitated for a moment, but still said, “Then can I go in and take a look?”
He hesitated because this woman’s cultivation was too powerful, so powerful that there was almost no way for him to resist. It was a good thing that he did not see any killing intent on this woman, if there was the slightest killing intent, he would not have gone in. Once this woman had killing intent towards him, even if she was hidden deeper, he would still be aware of it.
In fact this woman not only had no killing intent, her eyes looked kind. Her forehead was slightly broad and her eyes were bright and unmistakable, giving her a sense of calmness and closeness. This kind of woman looks very eye catching, even though she is not particularly pretty.
“Of course.” The blue-skirted woman finished with a smile and took the initiative to lead the way in front.
The feeling she gave Ye Mo was that she was extremely soft in both her speech and actions, giving people a sense of being like a frothy spring breeze.
After Ning Cheng followed the blue-skirted woman into the forbidden system, he saw a gatehouse, on which were engraved four large flying characters. Shallow Cloud Villa.
What made Ning Cheng puzzled was this. Underneath the four words, Shallow Cloud Villa. There were also three slightly crisp characters, Guang Yuan Palace.
Seeing Ning Cheng looking at the three words Guang Yuan Palace, this blue-skirted woman said with a faint smile, “The place I originally lived was called Guang Yuan Palace, then after I left home, I was a little homesick in my heart, which is why I wrote the three words Guang Yuan Palace.”
Ning Cheng’s heart rose in favour of this blue-skirted woman, if it was someone else. I’m afraid that if it was someone else, they would have thrown aside the sign of the Shallow Cloud Villa at the same time as putting up the three words of Guangyuan Palace. But not only did this woman not throw away the four words of Ashy Cloud Villa, she also erected the three words of Guangyuan Palace below Ashy Cloud Villa.
“Will Fellow Daoist Yin sit down for a while, or will you go and see your friend’s place right away?” The blue-skirted woman asked in a soft voice.
Ning Cheng clasped his fist in thanks, “I’m a little worried about my sister, so I’d better go and see her place first.”
The blue-skirted woman said to the yellow-bearded old man, “Liangcai, you take Daoist Friend Yin to the backyard.”
“Yes, Miss.” The yellow-bearded old man hurriedly answered.
Ning Cheng already understood that this yellow-bearded old man should be this blue-skirted woman’s household servant.
Xi’er’s cave was not in the deepest part. Ning Cheng followed this yellow-bearded old man and soon arrived before a garden with the prohibitions intact.
The yellow-bearded old man pointed at this garden and said, “This is where the original owner lived. Not only did my lady not bother to move the prohibitions here, she also added a layer of prohibitions on the outside.”
“Thank you very much, fellow Daoist.” After Ning Cheng thanked him, his body flashed a few times before he directly disappeared into the forbidden system.
The yellow-bearded old man looked at Ning Cheng’s disappearing back and hesitated for a moment before he turned around and left, and soon he arrived at the blue-skirted woman’s side.
“Did he go in?” The blue-skirted woman asked casually.
The yellow bearded old man nodded his head for a moment, hesitating for a moment before saying, “He forced himself to break the ban to get in, will he ……”
The blue-skirted woman seemed to know the yellow-bearded old man’s hesitation and said with a smile, “He may not be called Yin Cheng, but he should know the people who lived here before, and it’s likely that he’s coming to this place for the first time. When you reach a certain level of cultivation, you can also sense the other party’s Dao rhythm fluctuations through the Heaven and Earth rule breath. This fellow Daoist Yin’s dao rhythm fluctuations are not obvious, yet his strength is extremely strong. I’m afraid that an ordinary Dao Transformation Saint Emperor might not even be a match for him.”
The yellow-bearded old man did not feel strange at the blue-skirted woman’s words, and he nodded as a matter of course.
……
After Ning Cheng entered the forbidden system, it was only then that he discovered that the place where Xi’er lived was very simple. Apart from a garden, there was only a cultivation room that wasn’t really that big. The garden had long been overgrown with weeds because no one had come to take care of it for a long time.
Ning Cheng did not clean up the garden and instead walked into the room where Xi’er was cultivating. Just as he had guessed, there was only a jade table and a futon in it, apart from a simple jade bed.
There was not much dust inside the room because it was protected by a ban. Ning Cheng grabbed the futon and looked at it for half a day, but he did not see anything wrong with it.
The jade bed was even more empty, there was nothing. On the jade table, there was a small model of a mountain peak. Ning Cheng casually picked up this mountain model and saw that there were three words on it, World Mountain.
Only after Ning Cheng put away the model of the World Mountain and found that there was nothing more in it, did he turn around and leave with some disappointment. In Ning Cheng’s opinion, this was normal, Xi’er had wanted Xi and Pan Qian not to come back, so how could she have left something here?
After Ning Cheng walked out, he found that the blue-skirted woman was still waiting for him outside, which made him very embarrassed. A Mixed Yuan Saint Emperor was standing outside waiting for him, a Nurtured Dao Saint Emperor, it was impossible for anyone to believe it when it was said.
All along, the cultivators that Ning Cheng had met, even if they were the milder kind, would not wait for a Yudao Saint Emperor with a Mixed Yuan cultivation.
“If Dao Friend Yin is not in a hurry, you can sit here with me for a small moment. If Fellow Daoist Yin is in a hurry, I will have Liangcai send you out right now. As for the Shallow Cloud Villa, Daoist Friend Yin can take it back at any time.” The blue-skirted woman said with a smile on her face.
If it was another Mixed Saint Emperor, there was no way Ning Cheng would have stayed here after investigating the Shallow Cloud Villa. This blue-skirted woman said that she wanted him to stay, so he could instead stay and ask a few questions, “Then I’ll bother this senior sister.”
“My name is Nian Yan, you can just call me by my name.” The woman’s tone was even softer.
After she finished speaking, she guided Ning Cheng to the guest hall and sat down, and served Ning Cheng another cup of spiritual tea.
“Senior Sister Nian Yan, I saw some messages in my sister’s room just now, she told me that this was not a place to stay for long and asked me to leave ……” Ning Cheng did not put it too bluntly, but was slightly vague.
Nian Yan nodded and said, “You are from the Taiyi Realm, you should know the Underground Abyss well, right?”
Ning Cheng naturally wouldn’t say that he wasn’t from the Taiyi Realm, he gave a hmmm, “Yes, the Underground Abyss is a good place to try out. It’s just that because of some problems some years ago, it’s now difficult to go to the Underground Abyss in search of magic crystals.”
“When I first came here, my cultivation level was only just Yuk Dao. I met a strong man who thought I had great potential and said that he and I had a destiny, so he let me settle in the Shallow Cloud Villa.”
When Nian Yan said this, Ning Cheng felt that something was wrong, he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, he swallowed what he was going to say.
Nian Yan and Xi’er were somewhat similar, they were both the kind of people whose hearts were free from dust, I’m afraid that this kind of person would be most suitable for suppressing the underground abyssal demons. The person who sent Nian Yan here is likely to do so in order to suppress the underground abyssal demons in the future.
What was difficult for Ning Cheng to understand was that according to Far Self’s words, the Subterranean Abyss Demon had erupted once, so it was reasonable to say that Nian Yan had long been nailed to the Subterranean Abyss Blood Pillar to suppress the demons, so why was she still here?
By the way, she was a hybrid powerhouse, and I was afraid that it would not be easy for someone to use her to suppress the demons, right?
Thinking of Nian Yan being a Mixed Yuan Saint Emperor, Ning Cheng’s heart became more and more puzzled. Nian Yan had been in this place for at most less than ten thousand years, and according to what Nian Yan had just said, she was also a Nurtured Dao Saint Emperor when she arrived. It had only been less than ten thousand years, and Nian Yan had advanced to a Mixed Origin Saint Emperor? How terrifying of a qualification and Dao perception does this require?”
Ning Cheng knew that he possessed the Xuanhuang Pearl and cultivated the Xuanhuang Wufang. But he was a little skeptical about whether he could advance to Mixed Yuan in ten thousand years. Nian Yan could advance from a Dao Breeding Saint Emperor to a Mixed Yuan in ten thousand years? This ……
Seemingly sensing Ning Cheng’s puzzlement, Nian Yan softly said, “I was only a Nurtured Dao Saint Emperor when I first arrived, this cultivation level was not something anyone cared about in the Taiyi Realm, the people who sent me here would not care about me as long as I did not leave for a long time. Later, when the underground demons broke out, I was already a Hybrid Saint Emperor. He did come to see me, but only came to sit here for a while, then drank a cup of spiritual tea and left.”
What Nian Yan said was very euphemistic, and Ning Cheng heard it clearly, that was the person who had come looking for her could only leave in disgrace when he saw how powerful her cultivation was. To capture a Mixed Saint Emperor to suppress a demon underground, that was a bit difficult, I’m afraid. It looked like Nian Yan knew very well the reason why she lived here, and all the causes and consequences. If she knew that she could advance from Yudao to Mixed Yuan within ten thousand years. This was not only a strong qualification and a strong ability to perceive the Dao, but even her intelligence was demonic to the extreme.
“Then who is the person who let you settle in the Shallow Cloud Villa?” Ning Cheng hurriedly asked.
That person had kept Nian Yan here, so it must have been for the purpose of suppressing demonic creatures. Only someone who had suppressed demonic creatures would do so. Even if Xi’er was not the one he had nailed to the underground blood pillar, she must have had something to do with him.
“I only know that his name is Liu Fang Zhen, he seems to be the city lord of Wuting Sacred Dao City, his strength should be similar to mine. I’ve been to that underground abyss once. With his strength, I’m afraid he doesn’t have the means to suppress it alone, so I guess someone helped.”
After hearing Nian Yan’s words, Ning Cheng knew that Nian Yan knew everything very well, otherwise he wouldn’t have said so.
Ning Cheng stood up, gave a fist to Nian Yan and said, “Thank you, Senior Sister Nian Yan, Senior Sister Nian Yan has a heart free of dust and dirt and is aware of the rules of heaven and earth, so I guess she must have already known that I came in disguise. As my strength is too low, please forgive me for offending Senior Sister Nian Yan and take my leave.”
For someone like Nian Yan, one did not need to worry about her at all. Ning Cheng also understood why she was safe and sound, with someone like her who had a penetrating dao heart and understood the rules of heaven and earth, she could take another step forward at any time. It was not like the strongest people in the Taiyi Realm were idiots who would come to offend a strong person like Nian Yan.
