Hearing Yan Ji’s words of rebuke, Multiplying Yi Xiao’s face showed shame, this matter had been bored in his heart even up to now.
“Senior sister Ji, be careful with your words.” Seeing that Yan Ji was no longer speaking in a measured manner, Yu Ang hurriedly reminded him.
“What is there to be cautious about? Am I not aware that Senior Brother Cheng is a demon cultivator? Besides, even if he is a devil cultivator and he can help you, can’t you step in to help others when they are in danger?” Yan Ji said with a sneer without hesitation.
Desire Ang hurriedly transmitted a voice to Yan Ji, “Senior sister Ji, have you forgotten what happened to the Kun Yun Clan hundreds of years ago? The Numinous Sect was also involved in the siege because Jing Hao helped a demon cultivator. Now the Numinous Sect is one of the three great sects, and the Kun Yun Sect? You are a core disciple of our Qingxia Academy, and our Qingxia Academy is about to become a nine-star sect, there are many people who have eyes for it, so you must be careful with your words.”
Yan Ji’s heart fluttered as she remembered this matter.
A female cultivator standing beside Nalan Ruxue sneered and said, “That’s because Senior Sister Ji wasn’t there, if she had been, she might have been the first to go up and help. Back on the airship, didn’t Senior Sister Ji already help that Demon Cultivator Senior Brother Cheng once?”
“So what if I did?” Yan Ji’s eyes revealed a cold intent as she stared at the female cultivator and asked rhetorically, throwing aside once again her reminder from Lust Ang just now.
Seeing that the words were about to get worse, Multiplying Yixiao hurriedly waved her hand and said, “Before, Senior Sister Ji also didn’t know that Cheng Xiaoning was a demon cultivator, and besides, we likewise didn’t know that he was. Besides, morally speaking, we really should have gone up to help, just, just ……”
Multiplying Yixiao was already not good with words, and he actually got stuck here.
The other cultivator hurriedly helped, “It’s just that demon cultivators are unpredictable in their actions, and that demon cultivator was already in a demonic rage at that time, frequently casting forbidden spells, if we went up to help. If we had gone up to help, we would have been devastated. But the fact that this demon cultivator was able to help shows that his mind is still intact and his good nature is still there.”
When Ride One Xiao heard these words, his face burned hot. If that Cheng Xiaoning was here. These words were a slap in his face.
Yan Ji sneered and stopped speaking, only cupping his fist and saying, “This is the second section of the Rule Road, and there are extremely many demonic beasts, as I’m sure everyone knows. Whether or not we can cross the second section and enter the third section is the key to getting out of the Rule Road. I think that there is no point in continuing to form a group when we have reached this point. In a place like this, we can only go our own way by virtue of chance, so I will take my leave.”
“Senior sister Ji. There is the Blood River Red Lotus on the Blood River Mountain in the second section, that is a priceless item, why don’t we wait until we get the Blood River Red Lotus and then talk about separating?” Hearing that Yan Ji wanted to leave alone, Desire Ang hurriedly spoke out to retain her.
“That’s right. We are also planning to go to the Blood River Mountain to collect the Blood River Red Lotus, the more people we have going to the Blood River Mountain, the better, the better for our two teams to merge together.” The more people there were, the better.
Moreover, the Blood River Mountain had a characteristic that after three years of entering the Rule Road, one could never go near the Blood River Mountain again. So to collect the Blood River Red Lotus. That was the sooner the better.
“There are so many good things in here, I’ve decided to go alone to find my own chance.” Yan Ji did not hesitate to refuse.
After saying that, Yan Ji had already changed his direction and was soon far away.
Seeing that Yan Ji had already left, Jia Lingwei suddenly cupped her fist to the rest of the group and said, “I think what Senior Sister Yan Ji said is right. It is better to look for opportunities in here, or go by yourself, Chang Sun Yan and I are also planning to leave. See you all later, senior sisters and brothers.”
Following Yan Ji’s departure, Jia Lingwei and Changsun Yan also left quickly.
……
Yan Ji stopped as she looked at Jia Lingwei and Changsun Yan who were coming after her in confusion and asked. “How come you guys didn’t team up with them?”
“The people in that team are too hypocritical, there’s no point in staying in it.” Changsun Yan was straightforward and spoke up directly.
Jia Lingwei, however, said with a faint smile, “It’s true that Yan Yan and I didn’t want to stay in that team, and that wasn’t our academy’s team either. Moreover, I found Senior Sister Ji and there are some things I want to discuss with you.”
Feeling that Changsun Yan’s words were right for her temperament, Yan Ji’s tone softened a little and said, “Senior Sister Lingwei, go ahead.”
“Actually, when Senior Brother Ning was fighting with those blocking cultivators, Yan Yan and I chose to leave because I knew that staying there would be useless. The only impact it would have would be to help bring the Dragon Phoenix Academy an excuse to befriend demon cultivators.
Of course, if I could really save Senior Brother Ning, this excuse wouldn’t have mattered to me at all, and I certainly wouldn’t have left for that reason, let alone be afraid of falling. The Dragon Phoenix Academy has existed for thousands of years for its own reasons, and it will not be wiped out because of an insignificant disciple like me.” Jia Lingwei said sincerely.
“Is Cheng Xiaoning really a demonic cultivator?” Yan Ji remained somewhat unconvinced, she agreed with Jia Lingwei’s words, but she was more concerned about whether or not Ning Cheng was a devil cultivator.
Jia Lingwei said in a gruff voice, “Whether it’s a devil cultivator or not I don’t know, but his magic treasure is an ugly axe, and as soon as that axe was sacrificed, it carried a heavy and tragic devil cultivator aura, and when that axe beheaded a few cultivators, that violent and murderous devilish aura became even more prevalent.”
“That’s not right, he’s an ice spell and the one he cast was also a flying sword, how could it be an axe? And it’s only been within just over a year since he and I were separated, how could there be such a big change?” Yan Ji said to himself, still frowning.
Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something and stared at Jia Lingwei, “Senior Sister Lingwei, you just said Senior Brother Ning twice, isn’t he Senior Brother Cheng?”
Jia Lingwei sighed and said, “Senior Sister Ji, this is the matter I want to talk to you about.”
“Go ahead.” Yan Ji felt that things seemed a little odd.
Jia Lingwei nodded, “If I’m not wrong, that Cheng Xiaoning’s original name should be Ning Cheng ……”
Changsun Yan asked in shock, “Sister Lingwei, you said that the demonic cultivator was Senior Brother Ning Cheng who was killed by Senior Sister Ru Xue? Then, that ……”
“Ning Cheng who was killed by Ru Xue? What happened?” To Yan Ji, she was more familiar with Cheng Xiao Ning and had never heard of Ning Cheng.
“That’s right, it is indeed true.” Jia Lingwei said gruffly, “It only occurred to me later that before I left, he happened to be seriously injured and smashed against a boulder. I glanced back and there was something familiar in his eyes, with a hint of disappointment, when he scolded Nalan Ruxue for being ungrateful earlier. It was this kind of look. Then I thought of the name Cheng Xiao Ning, and with that name backwards, wouldn’t it be exactly Ning Xiao Cheng. Remove one small word and it happens to be Ning Cheng ……”
Yan Ji asked in amazement. “Why did he scold Nalan Ruxue for being ungrateful and unrighteous? What was the story of Nalan Ruxue’s death of Ning Cheng?”
Jia Lingwei knew more details about this matter, originally, Nalan Ru Xue did not want to tell Ning Cheng about the assault on her breast, she even blocked Ning Cheng from saying it. It was just that after sending Ning Cheng to Shuji later on, she always had a lump in her heart, and she felt as if others were looking at her a bit oddly. So she ended up explaining the grudge between her and Ning Cheng, and even gave Ning Cheng’s excuse.
After hearing Nalan Ruxue’s explanation, at that time, Jia Lingwei still agreed with Nalan Ruxue’s view. After all, being groped on the breasts while unconscious was indeed not a thing to be happy about for a woman. However, she also thought that there was something wrong with what Nalan Ruxue had done in lending a hand, only that she and Ning Cheng did not know each other, so she did not say anything more about the matter.
And now her life was saved by Ning Cheng. If Ning Cheng had not come, she was sure that Nalan Ru Xue would have had the chance to walk away, and she and Changsun Yan would definitely not have been able to get away.
At this moment, when Yan Ji asked about it, Jia Lingwei did not hide anything and told all about Ning Cheng and Nalan Ru Xue. Finally, she said. “With Ning Cheng’s ability, it looks like his words about saving Nalan Ru Xue were not a lie, this should be true.”
Yan Ji’s eyes were cold, “Ning Cheng really wasn’t wrong about this woman, to say that she is ungrateful is an understatement. She obviously risked her life to save her at the hands of an evil cultivator, and she still moved to borrow a knife to kill someone. Luckily, that Shuji did not make a move against Ning Cheng, otherwise Ning Cheng would have died unjustly. Was that breast of hers so valuable? It was just two pieces of meat. What’s so rare about it. I’m so unlucky to be juxtaposed with such people.”
“That’s right, it’s just two lumps of meat, who doesn’t have them? I’ll be even bigger than her in the future, what’s so rare about it?” When Changsun Yan found someone in the same camp, her words were even sharper as well.
Jia Lingwei’s face was a little embarrassed. She knew that Nalan Ru Xue was not someone with a malicious heart, it was just that she had misunderstood Ning Cheng. It was indeed difficult to be understood under those circumstances. Now that Changsun Yan and Yan Ji had formed an alliance to scold Nalan Ruxue and, Jia Lingwei hurriedly said, “Senior sister Ruxue should have been unaware that Ning Cheng could deal with Xuan Liquid cultivators at his Yuan Building cultivation. That’s why she misunderstood. In the future, when she understands, she will always apologize to Ning Cheng.”
“Apologize?” Yan Ji laughed coldly, “She, a high and mighty core disciple of a nine-star sect, would apologize to a demon cultivator?”
Seeing this, Jia Lingwei had no choice but to say, “Let’s not talk about that, I’ve come to see Senior Sister Ji to discuss another matter. They are going to the Blood River Mountain to look for the Blood River Red Lotus, I wonder if Senior Sister Ji wants to go? If Senior Sister Ji also wants to go there, I do have a secret path that leads to the Blood River Mountain.”
“I just want to go there, I just don’t want to join hands with these hypocrites, if Senior Sister Lingwei has a secret path, that would be best. Why don’t the three of us team up and go there.” Yan Ji had intended to go to the Blood River Mountain, collecting the Blood River Red Lotus had been one of her missions, so how could she give it up?
……
Ning Cheng was already at the fifth level of Xuan Liquid at this time, and his speed of absorbing Spiritual Qi was significantly faster, while his progress did not seem to have the same momentum as it did at the beginning. The endless amount of spiritual qi was transformed into true essence liquid and filled into his dan lake. But his Dan Lake was simply too powerful, even if he filled it with more true essence liquid, it was still mud into the sea, and his progress was surprisingly slow after his cultivation level reached the fifth level of Xuan Liquid.
The effect of swallowing pills had also lost its original sharpness, and more advanced pills were not available to him, nor could he refine them.
Another half a month passed and Ning Cheng stopped cultivating. His cultivation level was still at the fifth level of Xuan Liquid, which was a hundred-foot pole, but if he wanted to go further, it would be a bit difficult to rely purely on spirit stones, so he had to find new opportunities to advance. Ning Cheng believed that in the second section of the Rule Road, there should be more good things than in the first section.
