Although his chest was badly injured because of Gu Fei’s a*sa*sination. But under the strong desire to survive, Ning Cheng’s speed still grew faster and faster, he didn’t even care if his roots were hurt, he only knew to run wildly all the way, while the true qi in his body ran to the extreme, moreover, he didn’t allow another drop of blood to drip from his body.
……
The first thing you need to do is to stop, and he saw a large streak of blood at his feet. It was obvious that the two had fought here, and a piece of clothing that had been torn into pieces was thrown on the ground. The clothes were covered in blood, and the clothes were not Gu Fei’s, but Ning Cheng’s.
Gu Yiming nodded in satisfaction and looked in the direction where the bloodstain had disappeared and stopped. He knew that the blood trail extended out, not because Ning Cheng had suddenly fled, but because his younger brother Gu Fei wanted to tease Ning Cheng, so that Ning Cheng would taste the death of being about to be killed as he ran.
After understanding this, Gu Yiming did not run any further, but strolled along the blood trail and followed it, not even checking the surroundings at all. With Gu Yiming’s cultivation level, if he had been more careful, he would have definitely checked out that Ning Cheng had gone from the other side, but he did not even consider this point. It would be strange if Ning Cheng, a Qi gathering layer, could still change direction under Gu Fei, who was at the third Qi gathering layer.
Ning Cheng ran his speed to the extreme, but he was also getting dizzy, and after an incense stick, black stars were already appearing in front of his eyes, and Ning Cheng knew that he had reached the extreme. He knew very well that he had definitely not reached safety, he was sure that Gu Yiming would find his way here, it was just a matter of how long it would take.
“Boom,” Ning Cheng stumbled a little and finally tripped over a rock and fell into a long ditch by the side of the road. Ning Cheng’s already dizzy head was immediately awakened by the cold water in the ditch. He hurriedly grabbed onto the weeds by the roadside and tried to climb up again to continue his escape, but he was really at the end of his rope and could not use his strength at all, and with just a slight effort, he rolled down into the water again.
His strong will to survive allowed Ning Cheng to once again grab onto the weeds at the edge of the gutter. Just as Ning Cheng was about to force himself to climb up the ditch again, a large snake over a ten feet long swam swiftly towards Ning Cheng.
When Ning Cheng saw the big snake’s green and oily eyes, a hint of despair rose up in his heart. It had nothing to do with his will, even if he wanted to claim his life, he could not swim faster than this big snake.
Seeing that this big snake was about to swallow Ning Cheng, a willow strip brushed over, this big snake was hit by this willow strip and was immediately carried away. After the big snake landed, it no longer dared to come over, obviously knowing that the person who had just swept it away was extremely powerful, it hurriedly turned a corner and instantly disappeared.
Ning Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did he see a little nun dressed in a dark blue cloth robe. The little nun was incomparably clean and had a few incense scars on her head, and surprisingly, she also had a cultivation level of the third level of Qi gathering. At this moment, she was staring at Ning Cheng with a pair of extremely large eyes, hesitating for a moment before she said timidly, “Are you alright?”
Ning Cheng looked at this little nun with some depression and said, “Little Masteress, do I look like I’m alright to you?”
Hearing Ning Cheng call himself Little Master’s wife, this little nun’s face turned red and she hurriedly went forward and pulled Ning Cheng up. Stuttering, she said, “I’m not a senior mistress, please ask you ……”
Ning Cheng didn’t have the time to argue with this little nun about whether she was a master nun or not, and immediately said, “Please do me a favor and take me away from this place, someone wants to kill me.”
“Why?” The little nun’s inquisitive ** clearly exceeded Ning Cheng’s prediction.
Ning Cheng was tempted to say that now was not the time to ask why, but knew that the more he said such things, he simply said weakly, “I saw a few late stage Qi gathering robbers trying to rob a nun to be their wife, after I saved that nun, those robbers were about to chase me, they were about to arrive …… ”
“What is a wife?”
“It is to be married back as a concubine.”
This time, the little nun heard clearly that a few late stage Qi gathering robbers wanted to capture a nun as a concubine, and wasn’t she exactly a little nun. After understanding this, the little nun couldn’t afford to ask any more questions, so she hurriedly carried Ning Cheng on her back and left, not even caring that Ning Cheng was covered in water.
Ning Cheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and gathered his strength to say again, “Those bandits have colluded with Cang Le City. The further you go, the better, the more remote the better ……”
After these words, Ning Cheng finally fainted with relief.
……
Gu Yiming stopped as he sensed that something was wrong. He had gone a long way without blood and there were no other traces.
He turned his head back again and bent down to take a closer look at the spot where the blood had stopped, and suddenly a bad feeling rose in his heart. The blood had stopped here, without any warning, as if it had disappeared into thin air.
Gu Yiming became a little alarmed in his heart, he quickly turned back and walked over to the bloodstained area again, then looked carefully at the broken clothes that Ning Cheng had thrown down, and looked around for half a day. He then closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before he opened his eyes in a haughty manner and chose another direction and quickly chased after him.
In less than half a pillar of time, he stopped again, then stared straight at the lake by the roadside. A moment later, he suddenly leapt up and landed in the middle of the lake, where he then grabbed a charred corpse.
The moment he grabbed the corpse, he clearly and unmistakably understood that the corpse was definitely not Ning Cheng’s, but his brother Gu Fei’s.
Gu Yiming’s eyes instantly turned red, and a terrifyingly hideous killing intent surged to his heart.
With a “flop”, Gu Yiming forgot that he was still in the lake, and under his anger, he actually fell into the lake.
However, he quickly leapt from the lake to the shore and hissed with a vengeance, “Ning Cheng, I, Gu Yiming, swear that I will not rest until I have swallowed you alive ……”
He could never have imagined that this would be the end, his brother Gu Fei, who was at the third level of Qi gathering, had been killed by Ning Cheng instead. This was absolutely impossible, Ning Cheng must have had someone to help him, otherwise with that pusillanimous Ning Cheng even if he had backstabbed, he would not have been able to backstab Gu Fei who was at the third level of Qi gathering.
Regardless of whether or not Ning Cheng could have been able to do so, Gu Fei was already too dead to be killed.
……
When Ning Cheng woke up, he heard a night lord’s scream, followed by several unknown cries that seemed somewhat eerie and frightening. All around him was pitch black, and all he could feel was cold and hard.
What kind of place is this? Could it be that I have died and gone to hell? Ning Cheng reached out and touched his hand around him, it was all hard and cold stones.
“You’re awake?” Just when Ning Cheng was guessing if he had died, the voice of the little nun came in time, and the little nun was surprisingly right beside him.
Only then did Ning Cheng smell a faint fragrance and said with relief, “Thank you, Little Nun, I didn’t expect that monks also like to put some fragrance on their bodies.”
The latter sentence was purely to lighten the mood and let him feel the joy of still being alive. If he could not die, Ning Cheng was certainly not willing to be left to die. He longed to die and then return to Earth, and in fact he knew that was self-deceiving. Even if he had been reborn here, it was possible that it was caused by that one yellow light. This kind of risk of being reborn somewhere after death was not something Ning Cheng wanted to take.
“I didn’t ……” the little nun’s timid voice came out again.
Ning Cheng suddenly understood that he could occasionally detect this fragrance on Tian Muwan’s body, and Tian Muwan did not like to wear perfume, so this was obviously **body fragrance. Thinking of this, Ning Cheng hurriedly changed the subject and said, “Little Master, the sounds of night lords and various beasts are coming from outside here, are we inside some kind of woods? Could it be the Daan Forest?”
“My name is An Yi, not Little Master Dowager.” The little nun said her name before explaining, “This is not the Great An Forest, it takes more than a month to get here from the Great An Forest by beast cart, it’s still far away.”
After speaking a few words with Ning Cheng, An Yi’s expression and tone became natural and no longer showed timidity.
Ning Cheng felt that his injuries seemed to have improved quite a lot and knew that An Yi must have healed him, so he then said, “An Yi, my name is Ning Cheng. Thank you for saving me, if it wasn’t for you, I would definitely be dead. I lied to you earlier when I said there were robbers capturing the nuns, I apologise.”
An Yi smiled faintly, “I know, I was too stupid, I didn’t know the urgency of the matter, I shouldn’t have asked you at that moment, I should have fled immediately.”
“Is there anything to eat?” After coming out of the Cultivation Tower, Ning Cheng had been in a state of high tension. Afterwards, he had run all the way again and had long been hungry. Now that he was safe and down, he immediately felt hungry.
An Yi took out two wheat cakes and handed them to Ning Cheng, “I still have a few cakes here, you can eat them.”
Ning Cheng swallowed the two pieces of wheat cakes in a few bites, took a sip from An Yi’s water bottle before panting and asking, “An Yi, where did you come from? How did you come to be in this vicinity?”
Hearing Ning Cheng’s question, An Yi’s eyes suddenly dimmed, and even if Ning Cheng did not see it, he could feel the change in An Yi’s demeanour.
“If it’s inconvenient to say, then don’t say anything. There are always a few things that are inconvenient for people to say, and I’m the same too. Once I also saved someone, that time a few students were in a mountainous area for a picnic and happened to meet a flash flood. I saved a girl and we became friends, but I never told her many things about myself. She also had a lot of things she hadn’t told me, which was normal and didn’t need to be taken to heart.” Ning Cheng already knew that this little nun An Yi was honest and also very simple. It was really unknown how she had survived alone in such a place.
An Yi fluttered her big eyes and asked, “Ning Cheng, what does it mean to pick the wind?”
“Picking the wind ah ……” Ning Cheng worded it for a while before saying, “It’s when you have nothing to do after eating and then looking for something impractical to do. Or rather, wanting to go somewhere to have fun and then just find an excuse.”
“Then I’m not picking the wind, I’ve been with my master, and my master is going. I want to find some medicinal herbs to keep my master alive for a few more years.” Anyi’s tone dropped once again as she spoke of her master going away.
Ning Cheng didn’t find it strange, the little nun was likewise at the third level of Qi gathering, it would be strange if she didn’t have a master.
