The Void Cold Light Gun rolled up countless rippling Dao patterns and blasted past in this instant. Ning Cheng’s Dao rhyme power and the blue vortex blasted together, stirring up a huge vacuum of space.
Liu Fanglin then felt her body lighten and her entire body flew backwards, landing beside Ning Cheng.
The grey stone monument that was blocking Ning Cheng’s progress also disappeared without a trace at this time. Where the stone monument had disappeared was the huge gully blasted out by the Dao Rhyme impact just now.
Ning Cheng’s face was gloomy as he looked at the huge gully, knowing very well in his heart that with his current strength, it would probably be very difficult for him to finish off the grey monolith in the Burial Shadow Blue Sands. In the Blue Sands of Burial Shadows, the grey monolith’s power could not help him, and he could not help the grey monolith either.
Liu Fanglin’s face was just as ugly, the disappearance of the grey monolith meant that she would continue to suffer from the torment of bloodletting in the void as well as her soul being constantly asked to worship.
Ning Cheng knew what Liu Fanglin was thinking, he raised his hand and grabbed Liu Fanglin’s wrist and said, “Let me help you see what the grey stone tablet has planted in your body.”
Just because he couldn’t help the grey stone tablet, it didn’t mean that Ning Cheng didn’t have a way to help Liu Fanglin. Even if the grey stone tablet was strong, it could not stop his divine sense from examining Liu Fanglin.
Liu Fanglin nodded her head, and in her heart, she regretted a little that she had not let Ning Cheng examine her earlier. If she had let Ning Cheng examine her earlier, she might not have had to suffer so much, and she would not have had to be embarrassed in front of Ning Cheng. Any woman would not want her withered and skinny body to be examined. At this moment, she knew her body very well, the kind of gracefulness she had back then had long disappeared, and all that was left were dried up bones and slightly black skin.
I was afraid that the strength of Ning Cheng’s divine sense could only be rivalled by the top Mixed Saint Emperors. His divine sense instantly swept through Liu Fanglin’s body, and in a short time, he found a little bit of a shadow, if any, in Liu Fanglin’s Violet Mansion. This shadow was as ordinary as a burial shadow demon, and it was difficult for ordinary divine sense to reveal it.
Ning Cheng even suspected that if Liu Fanglin had let him examine it back then, he might not have been able to discover this shadow, if any.
This bit if shadow was hidden deep within Liu Fanglin’s sea of consciousness, carrying an aura of wishful thinking and a bloody smell.
Ning Cheng did not greet Liu Fanglin as several blades of divine sense twisted in Liu Fanglin’s sea of consciousness, and Liu Fanglin let out a harsh and miserable scream.
Immediately afterwards, a shadow, if any, was rolled out of Liu Fanglin’s sea of consciousness by Ning Cheng and sent into the jade box, while several prohibitions were placed on it.
Ning Cheng placed the jade box in his hand and sent a message to the Star River Flame, and a flame swept over and swept the jade box away.
“Give me a deadly scorch, but don’t burn it out all at once.” After Ning Cheng told the Star River Flame, he took out a few pills and sent them directly into Liu Fanglin’s mouth.
The miserable howling Liu Fanglin settled down instantly, her grey head turning black with a degree visible to the naked eye, and her skin and bones body gradually plumping up. One incense stick later, Liu Fanglin had regained 60% of her original appearance.
“It’s alright, I’ve removed the threat in your sea of consciousness for you. With a few more years of recuperation, you will be restored to your original form. This grey stone tablet will no longer be able to suck your essence blood, nor will it be able to sway your will to worship it.” Ning Cheng looked at the changed Liu Fanglin and comforted her.
Liu Fanglin let out a hmph and said, “Senior Brother Ning, I want to join your Xuanhuang Sect and stay on Mount Tai Su to cultivate.”
Ning Cheng guessed that the Xuanhuang Sect should have been told to her by Yan Ji, and he didn’t care, “Of course you can, once things are done over here, you will stay on Mount Tai Su and cultivate. For now, you enter the True Spirit World first, I want to exterminate this one.”
Hearing Ning Cheng’s words, Liu Fanglin asked with some disbelief, “But, that grey stone tablet won’t stay at all.”
She said it rather euphemistically, what she really meant was that with Ning Cheng’s current cultivation level, it was almost impossible to extinguish that stone tablet.
Ning Cheng smiled, “You don’t have to worry, I have my own way. After saying that, he directly sent Liu Fanglin into the True Spirit World.
Just as Liu Fanglin disappeared, a miserable and incomparable scream came out from the depths of the endless Blue Sands of Burial Shadows, and a Dao Rhythm aura that shot straight up to the clouds burst out in the distance.
Ning Cheng was secretly delighted, even if he could not dry up the stone tablet now, the Star River Flame burning the blood soul divine thoughts left in Liu Fanglin’s sea of consciousness by the stone tablet would be enough to make the stone eat a big pot.
After a small treatment of the stone tablet, Ning Cheng did not continue to stay in the Burial Shadow Blue Sand. After he emerged from the Burial Shadow Blue Sand, he directly gave out a Daoist Monarch Order to Li Feng.
Not only had the Burial Shadow Blue Sand angered him, but more importantly, Qi XIII had to be rescued as early as possible. He was at least a Daoist Monarch of the Tai Su Dao Court, and this time he had directly mobilised five million Daoist Court troops to come over.
Even if it took years, he would make the Burial Shadow Blue Sands disappear from the Tai Su Ruins. This one of the five forbidden places of the Tai Su Realm would never be seen again from now on.
If it was before the great war with the Tai Yi Realm, Ning Cheng would never have mobilised the Daoist Court Army to come here to exterminate the Burial Shadow Blue Sands. He also knew that even if he did so, he was afraid that he would not really be able to mobilise the Tai Su Daoist Court Army to come. The Tai Su Daoist Court Army could perhaps be mobilised by him to deal with the invasion of foreign enemies. But coming to Tai Su Market to do his work for him was not something he could mobilise.
When Ning Cheng’s Daoist Monarch token arrived at the Tai Su Holy City, Li Feng summoned the Patriarchs of the major sects, as well as the ten pillars of the court, to discuss the military expediency at the first opportunity.
“Li Tingzhu, I feel that there is something wrong with this matter.” When Li Feng gave Ning Cheng the Daoist Monarch Decree, the first person to stand up and object was the Xuan Yue Divine Sect Patriarch, Fei Feng, who was also one of the Ten Great Daoist Court Pillars.
“Oh, I wonder why Tingzhu Fei feels that it is not appropriate?” Feng Qi asked calmly.
Fei Feng clasped his fist to Li Feng and turned around with another clasp before he said gruffly, “The main purpose of the Tai Su Realm Daoist Court Army’s establishment is to maintain the safety and security of the Tai Su Realm, that is, to ward off foreign enemies. Ning Daojun has also said that although we have defeated the incoming Daoist Court Army of Liuyi, no one can guarantee that the Daoist Court Army of the Taiyi Realm will not come over again.”
Speaking here, Fei Feng paused for a moment, his tone even more serious and grave than earlier, “If our Daoist Court Army leaves Tiansu Holy City because of Daoist Monarch’s personal matters, what if the Taiyi Realm invades and comes over? The Daoist Court Army can’t waste public service for personal matters, and Daojun Ning is the anchor of my Tai Su Realm, all the more so as he shouldn’t go to a dangerous place like the Burying Shadow Blue Sands, what if something were to happen? For the sake of our Tai Su Realm’s safety and for the sake of Daoist Monarch’s safety, I do not recommend sending the Daoist Court Army to the Burial Shadow Blue Sands.”
Li Feng nodded, “Well, what Fei Tingzhu said is not without merit. Are there any others who hold a different opinion, or the same opinion?”
To everyone’s surprise, the Patriarch of the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pond, Na Dai Fu, stood up and said, “I agree with Fei Tingzhu’s opinion, the Tai Su Daoist Court Army is there to maintain the Tai Su Realm. They can’t just be sent to the Tai Su Market, let alone to the Burial Shadow Blue Sands? In a place like the Blue Sands of Burial Shadows, even if a Hybrid Saint Emperor goes in, there will be many deaths and few survivors. Many of the Tai Su Dao Court Army are cultivators who have not attained Dao, so if they go to that kind of place, I’m afraid that they will die without surviving.”
The crowd all knew that Shi Yiqing of the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pond was very supportive of Ning Cheng, but they had never expected that Na Dai Fu of the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pond would offer the opposite opinion, which was indeed an accident within an accident.
“I, Frustrated Fang Trace, strongly disagree with Fei Tingzhu and Na Tingzhu’s opinion, what with being a Daoist Monarch, since Ning Cheng is the Daoist Monarch of my Tai Su Dao Court, he should have the power to mobilise any Daoist Court Army. If he can’t even move the Dao Court Army, what kind of Dao Monarch is that?” Frustrated Fang scar, the Protector of the Tai Su Dan Association, was the first to stand up and retort.
“I, Be Cai Man, support sending out an army to respond to the Daoist Monarch at Tai Su Market.” The second Mixed Saint Emperor of the Dan Association stood up to take a stand.
Unfortunately neither Bei Cai Man nor Frustrated Fang scar had the authority to lead an army and could only protest.
Feng Li frowned slightly without thinking, he was about to continue speaking when Sha Su, who was sitting on the tenth court pillar seat, suddenly stood up, “My tenth Dao Court army supports Daoist Monarch Ning Cheng, my Dao Court army will fight wherever the Daoist Monarch’s order points to.”
The main personnel of each Daoist Court Army were pillar figures of the leading military clans, so each Daoist Court Army was basically controlled by the leader of the army. Sha Su’s Tenth Daoist Court Army was made up of almost all formation masters. This was also the Daoist Court Army that Ning Cheng valued the most, and in fact Sha Su had taken the greatest credit when he had destroyed the Liu Liu Daoist Court Army.
Sha Su was also the one who trusted Ning Cheng the most, not only did Ning Cheng mention his Heavenly Array Valley to the top ten sects, he also passed on numerous Dao of Formation mysteries to him. More importantly, Ning Cheng had a kind of prestige in Sha Su’s heart, a prestige that made Sha Su not only admire Ning Cheng, but also a kind of subservience to him.
Now that Ning Cheng had issued an order to transfer his army in the name of the Daoist Monarch, even if his cultivation level was the lowest, not yet reaching that of a Mixed Origin Saint Emperor, he was the first to stand up and support Ning Cheng. Even if the rest of the nine Dao Court Armies did not send out their armies, they would not be able to stop his Heavenly Array Valley Dao Court Army.
“My Seventh Dao Court Army supports the Dao Monarch’s Order, as long as the Dao Monarch gives the order, I can bring a million Dao Court armies into the Tai Su Ruins at any time.” Patriarch Peng Qi Yuan of the Liyu Divine Mountain was the second to stand up and take a stand.
Following closely behind, Luan, the Sinking Fish Palace Patriarch, Xiao Luzin, the Desolate God Palace Patriarch, and Mu Yuankong, the Vice Patriarch of the Seven Star Sacred Sect, all stood up to state that they would listen to the transfer and were willing to send their armies.
Looking at Wang Hwa Chong, Patriarch of the River Luo Saint Clan, and Gong Mou, Patriarch of the Silver Dragon Clan, who were still hesitating, Li Feng took the initiative to interrupt their hesitation and said, “Since the Daoist Monarch’s intention is that only five million Daoist Court Armies should go to the Tai Su Market, since this is the case, then there will be Sha Tingzhu, Peng Tingzhu, Xiao Tingzhu, Luan Tingzhu and Mu Tingzhu leading the five armies to the Burial Shadow Blue Sands in the Tai Su Market. The rest of the five Daoist Court Armies will continue to stay in Tiansu Holy City to defend against foreign enemies.”
Speaking from the bottom of his heart, Li Feng was already relieved to have five Daoist Court Armies willing to go. If he didn’t have five million Daoist Court Armies, he would probably have to bring the Daoist Court Armies with him to go. Once he went, Tian Su Holy City would lack Ning Cheng’s confidant. Li Feng helped Ning Cheng wholeheartedly because he firmly believed that the Tai Su Realm could flourish in Ning Cheng’s hands. No matter what, he would never allow anyone to drag Ning Cheng’s feet.
