“Huoyi, you’re just in time ……,” Qiang Xiang’s face broke into a smile when he saw the woman coming over. Like him, Ji Huoyi was a son of the Witch Clan who had seen the outside world. Don’t think that her cultivation level is not as good as Xuan Ping’s right now, but her insight can be much higher than Xuan Ping’s. When Ji Huoyi came, she was definitely on his side.
Ning Cheng had heard Qiang Xiang talk about Ji Huoyi, and it was because of Ji Huoyi that Yu Qing had escaped from Xing Xi’s cave. Now when he heard Qiang Xiang call her Huoyi, he immediately asked, “Fellow Daoist Qiang Xiang, is she Ji Huoyi? The one who was brought by Xing Xi to sacrifice to the Heavenly Pillar?”
Qiang Xiang hurriedly responded, “That’s right, she is none other than Ji Heyi, a descendant of my Witch Clan’s Ancestor Ji.
“Big brother Qiang Xiang, what is going on here?” Ji Huoyi asked as she looked at Qiang Xiang and Xuan Ping in confusion, and then sized up Ning Cheng.
After asking this question, Ji Huoyi’s face also looked a little gloomy. She had been with Xing Xi for a long time and could sense that Ning Cheng was extremely powerful, perhaps even more powerful than Big Brother Qiang Xiang, from where had Big Brother Qiang Xiang found such a strong person?
“Huo Yi, Qiang Xiang brought a strange acolyte and was going to meet the Ancestral Emperor, but I stopped him. This is simply not in accordance with the rules, if just anyone can meet the Ancestral Emperor, then wouldn’t my Witch Clan become a low-grade workshop?” Hsuan commented half-heartedly as he was not even given any face by Qiang Xiang, and there was still a hint of anger in his words.
Ji Huo Yi frowned slightly, “Brother Qiang Xiang, this is indeed somewhat not quite in line with the rules.”
Qiang Xiang didn’t expect Ji Huoyi to say the same thing, and was instantly furious and said, “Huoyi, how can you say the same thing? Don’t you know that my witch tribe is hiding in such a marginal place and lacks not only development potential but also friends? Daoist monarch Ning Cheng is a friend I invited back, don’t treat your friends with such suspicion.”
Ji Huo Yi slowed down her voice and said, “Big brother Qiang Xiang, I know you are right. But have you forgotten the two people who came to my Witch Realm in the first place? They also said they were friends of my witch tribe when they came, but what happened?”
Qiang Xiang grunted and said, “That Ye Zifeng looks like a treacherous person, how can he compare to Daoist Ning? I have also been to Daojun Ning’s realm, and Daojun Ning has been very polite to me. Now that I have invited Daojun Ning to be my guest in my witch tribe, it is so disappointing for you to doubt like this and make your guests laugh.”
Under the anger of Qiang Xiang, these words were spoken directly in front of Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng waved his hand, indicating that Qiang Xiang did not need to be angry, and simply cupped his fist to Ji Huoyi and said, “Daoist Friend Huoyi, I heard Daoist Friend Qiang Xiang say that back then you were assassinated by Xing Xi and then went to sacrifice the Heavenly Pillar in Zhen ……”
Without waiting for Ning Cheng to finish his words, Ji Huoyi said, “That’s right, I was indeed sent by Xing Xi to fetch the Sacrificial Zhen Tong Tian Pillar. But it wasn’t an assassination, but I was simply no match for her, and she easily took me there.”
Ning Cheng had to ask again, “I heard that you came out because of a woman called Yu Qing, I would like to ask where is Yu Qing now?”
“Do you want to see the Ancestral Emperor, or do you want to see Yu Qing?” Ji Huoyi had originally been just a little wary of Ning Cheng, and when she heard Ning Cheng mention Yu Qing, her expression was no longer wary, but with a strong sense of defensiveness.
Ning Cheng said politely, “I am friends with Yu Qing, and I am here mainly to see Yu Qing this time. At the same time, I also appreciate Daoist Friend Qiangxiang’s hospitality and want to become friends with the Witch Clan, so I would also like to pay my respects to the Witch Ancestor Ancestor.”
Wanting Ning Cheng to become a friend of the Witch Clan was mainly Qiang Xiang’s intention. By saying this, Ning Cheng was expressing his friendship on one hand, and on the second hand, he was also achieving his goal through a polite way of meeting the Witch Ancestor Emperor.
Ji Huoyi gave Qiang Xiang a somewhat dissatisfied look before saying to Ning Cheng, “Fellow Daoist Ning, I’m afraid I can’t do what you want. Sister Qing is in seclusion right now, and she won’t meet anyone.”
If it wasn’t for Yu Qing, Ji Hao Yi wouldn’t have to talk about restoring her body. Perhaps she would still be locked up by Xing Xi at the edge of the Tongtian Pillar right now, sacrificing to the Zhen Tongtian Pillar. Moreover, she knew from Yu Qing’s mouth that Yu Qing simply did not have any relatives who could reach the kind of great strength that Ning Cheng had. There should only be one reason for this Ning Daoist monarch to come to see Yu Qing right now, and that was because he had heard of Yu Qing’s beauty, and then took the initiative to befriend the Witch Ancestor on account of his strength, and then take Yu Qing as a dual-cultivation couple.
Ning Cheng looked at Qiang Xiang, if it wasn’t for Qiang Xiang, his divine sense would have directly penetrated all the Witch Clan’s shielding divine sense prohibitions.
“Sha Xun has come to see Fellow Daoist Hong!” Qiang Xiang was just about to speak when a thick voice came out, which was clearly heard by the few people present.
After hearing this voice, a cautious expression appeared on the faces of both Xuan Zhuan and Qiang Xiang and Ji Huoyi.
Immediately afterwards, Xuan Ping spoke to Qiang Xiang, “I will go report to the Ancestral Emperor, you go and stop this person ……”
Ji Huoyi stopped Xuan comment, “No need to report it, I’m afraid this person’s voice can be heard throughout the witch world, the ancestor emperor naturally knows.”
Ning Cheng did not say anything, he was just thinking about what this Sha Xun had to do with the fat monk he had killed in the Chaotic Inner Realm? In fact, even before Sha Xun said anything, Ning Cheng knew that this fellow had come and also knew that the Dao rhythm aura on the other party was somewhat similar to that of the Fat Monk.
“Xuanyuan commentary, Qiang Xiang, you and I will go together to see Daoist Friend Sha Xun.” With the voice falling down was an extremely old old man.
“Grandfather Ancestor ……,” Ji Hoyi saw this old man and hurriedly stepped forward.
The old man nodded to Ning Cheng before he smiled and said to Ji Huoyi, “Huoyi, this Daoist friend is a guest from afar, take him to the guest hall and sit down for a while.”
“Yes.” Ji Huoyi did not dare to be half-hearted with this old man and hurriedly answered.
Before Qiang Xiang left, he also said to Ning Cheng, “Daoist Ning, this is my Witch Clan’s Ji Ancestor, we are going to meet Daoist Sha Xun and will be back in a moment, so please forgive me, Daoist Ning.”
Ning Cheng smiled, “It’s no matter, Daoist Friend Qiang Xiang please make yourself at home.”
He could guess that this Sha Xun who had spoken out was from an extraordinary background. Otherwise, he was a guest specially invited by Qiang Xiang, and Qiang Xiang would not have left him behind and gone to see that Sha Xun instead.
He knew that Qiang Xiang knew that he had fought with the Xuanhuang Holy Lord and even had the Xuanhuang Pearl on him. The aura on this Sha Xun was similar to that of the Fat Monk, so it was really likely that he was from the Western Universe.
“Fellow Daoist Ning, please.” Ji Huoyi made a guiding gesture to Ning Cheng, his tone flat and not much enthusiasm, obviously doing so because of Ji Ancestor’s instructions.
Ning Cheng did not care either, he just asked, “Who is that Sha Xun?”
Ji Huoyi did not hide anything from Ning Cheng and said indifferently, “I don’t know, I only know that he comes from the Western Universe. Now you can say, what exactly do you want with Qing Mei? If you have other ideas, please leave my Witch Clan as soon as possible. Although my Witch Clan lives in a remote area, it is not something that can be bullied by anyone.”
“You won’t believe anything I say, all you have to do is call Yu Qing to meet me or take me to her, and she will naturally tell you who I am.” With this attitude of Ji Hoyi, Ning Cheng knew that even if he explained any further, it would be useless.
Ji Huoyi did not even bother to reply to Ning Cheng’s this time, and walked ahead on her own.
Ning Cheng was helpless, the Witch tribe had been kind to Yu Qing, so he couldn’t fight his way in, could he? He could only wait for Qiang Xiang to return and explain to him.
Half a column of incense later, Ji He Yi brought Ning Cheng to a guest hall, then poured Ning Cheng a cup of spiritual tea and just sat on the side staring at Ning Cheng.
Nominally, she was accompanying the guest, but in fact, she was spying.
Ning Cheng was not in a hurry either, since he had come to the Witch Clan, he would be able to meet Yu Qing after all. If the Witch Clan really ended up obstructing him from seeing Yu Qing, he would have no choice but to take a hard line.
Another incense stick passed and there was still no news from Qiang Xiang.
Ning Cheng stood up, and before he could say anything, Ji Hoyi stood up just the same, “Daoist Ning is leaving? Let me see fellow Daoist out.”
Ning Cheng instantly frowned, before he could say anything, another clear voice came out, “Xing Xi has come to seek someone, please also ask Daoist Friend Hong to come out to meet him.”
“Ka ka ka,” Ning Cheng’s fists clenched together, emitting a burst of Dao rhyme sounds. What a way to step through iron shoes, this woman had automatically found her way to the door.
He didn’t even need to ask, he knew why Xing Xi had come here, it was 100% for Yu Qing. On top of that, there was the intention of taking away Yu Qing to threaten him.
As expected, when Ji Huo Yi heard Xing Xi’s name, her face turned pale and she even forgot to stop Ning Cheng from going out.
……
“Saint Lord Qinglian, my Witch Clan Ancestor Emperor has an invitation for Saint Lord at the Witch Emperor Palace, please follow me.” A Witch Clan woman had already come out and bowed to greet them.
Even though Xing Xi had captured Ji He Yi to sacrifice to the Heavenly Pillar, the Witch Clan still didn’t dare to offend this woman. This woman was simply too strong, so strong that she could stand up to the entire Witch Clan by herself.
Xing Xi’s face was cold as she stepped on the green lotus petals and said expressionlessly, “In that case, lead the way in front.”
……
“Fellow Daoist Ning, please wait ……,” Ji Huoyi finally reacted and hurriedly called out to Ning Cheng who had already walked to the door.
Ning Cheng stopped, it was true that Ji Huoyi was rescued by Yu Qing, the same way Yu Qing was also rescued by Ji Huoyi. What’s more, he didn’t want to get into a deadlock with the Witch Clan just yet. It would be best if Ji Huoyi was willing to lead the way without him having to break into the Witch Emperor Palace himself.
“Are you really Qing Mei’s friend?” Out of Ning Cheng’s expectation, Ji Hoyi inquired a sentence that was irrelevant to what Ning Cheng was thinking.
Ning Cheng nodded and said affirmatively, “That’s right, I really am Yu Qing’s friend. If you don’t believe me, you can take me to see Yu Qing.”
“I believe it, go, I will take you to see sister Qing, you hurry up and follow me.” After saying that, Ji Huo Yi had long since walked out much further.
Others didn’t know how powerful Xing Xi was, she knew it all too well. Even her Ancestor Di Hong, the number one powerhouse of the Witch Clan, was probably not even a match for Xing Xi. Now that Xing Xi had come to the Witch Clan, he must be looking for her and Yu Qing. This Ning Daojun in front of her looked to be not low in strength, so if he really knew Qing Mei, let him secretly take Yu Qing and escape from the Witch Clan before he did. If not, the Witch Clan would definitely hand over Yu Qing. Once Yu Qing was handed over, then Yu Qing would be worse off than dead.
This was the reason why Ji Huoyi had temporarily changed her mind and wanted to take Ning Cheng to bring Yu Qing.
