These two were Golden Dan cultivators, and although Ning Cheng wanted to stop these two and ask them, he knew that his current revealed cultivation level was too far from that of a Golden Dan cultivator. If he ventured out to ask, he might be slapped to death by the others.
After the two Jindan cultivators entered the resting inn, Ning Cheng dragged Yan Ji to find a low-grade spiritual tea house and entered. The lobby of the Spiritual Tea House was filled with low-level cultivators, as well as some adventurers.
There were many cultivators in the hall, and there were no empty seats alone yet.
Ning Cheng sat down next to a Qi gathering cultivator whose cultivation level looked similar to his current one, this Qi gathering cultivator was a female cultivator who also looked like she was in her thirties.
“This senior sister, there are too many people here, so my companion and I will take a rest here.” Ning Cheng sat down and made a point to clasp his fist and say something.
“No harm, be my guest.” This female cultivator nodded her head. Anyone could have sat in here, and after Ning Cheng sat down, he even greeted her, so it was clear that his pugnacity was only reflected in his appearance.
Various sounds of discussion came from the crowd, and Ning Cheng suddenly asked this female cultivator, “This senior sister, my companion and I have just arrived at Dragon Phoenix City, and I heard many people talking about the engagement between Duke Yu Hai and Fairy Ru Xue, is this thing true?”
This female cultivator was very kind as she said with a hmph, “Of course, after Immortal Ru Xue of the Numinous Sect came out of the Rule Path this time, she directly advanced to Xuan Dan cultivation because she received a great opportunity. And Duke Yu Hai, the first talented disciple of Returning Yuan City, is now at Xuan Dan perfection. He is only one step away from advancing to Yuan-Soul. The two nine-star sects have a strong alliance, and this time they are engaged to be married. When that Duke Yu Hai achieves Yuan Soul, he will immediately get married.”
“I’ve heard that Nalan Ruxue is one of the Le Continent’s Parallel Lotus, a stunning beauty. This Gui Yuan City’s Gui Yu Hai is quite lucky.” Ning Cheng sighed and said.
“Keep your voice down, Duke Yu Hai’s reputation will only be greater than that of Nalan Ru Xue, not less than hers. Haven’t you heard the half-word ‘Parallel Lotus, Begonia Flower, Star in the Sky, Half Ride the Clouds’? Duke Yu Hai is a dragon among men, what female cultivator wouldn’t want to marry him.” The female cultivator said in a low voice.
Ning Cheng nodded, “Thank you, this senior sister, of course I have heard of this phrase, probably because I have met Nalan Ru Xue and not Duke Yu Hai.”
“You still have the fate to have met Fairy Ruxue, you’re really lucky.” When this female cultivator heard that Ning Cheng had also met Nalan Ruxue, she immediately exclaimed in awe.
“I have only seen her from afar, she was wearing a veil at the time.” Ning Cheng said with a smile.
The female cultivator seemed to enjoy talking about these gossipy matters and immediately said, “Of course, no one could see her face, even Duke Yu Hai, I heard that he could only see a portrait of her. It’s a pity about Fairy Ji of Qingxia Academy, if Fairy Ji hadn’t been brutalised by a demonic cultivator, maybe this time it would have been ……”
When the female cultivator said this, she seemed to feel that something was wrong and hurriedly stopped to continue.
Seeing this, Ning Cheng beckoned to the fellow in the distance, and when the fellow came over, Ning Cheng said graciously, “Help me with three cups of spirit tea.”
“What kind do you want?” The fellow hurriedly inquired.
Ning Cheng pointed to the sign above and said, “It will be five lower grade spirit stones for a cup of light silk leaves.”
Hearing Ning Cheng treat himself to a cup of spirit tea with five lower grade spirit stones, the female cultivator hastily stood up and gave a grateful fist. Five lower-grade spirit stones of spirit tea was considered a medium spirit tea in this. Ning Cheng also looked like an adventurer, and for an adventurer in Le Continent to pay five lower grade spirit stones to treat someone he didn’t know to a cup of spirit tea was definitely generous.
The spirit tea was quickly brought up, Ning Cheng took a sip and said, “I know that demon cultivator, his name is Ning Cheng, there are wanted notices for him posted everywhere.”
The female cultivator said with a hint of fear in her eyes, “That’s right, I heard that that demonic cultivator is incredibly powerful, he alone killed over a hundred XuanDan cultivators inside the Rule Road, and also snatched dozens of female cultivators to take away their Yuan. Yin. This demon cultivator was not only a murderous devil, but also a yin devil. Fairy Ji was controlled by him, and he even lost Fairy Ji’s sanity.”
“So vicious? Then who spread this news?” Ning Cheng hurriedly asked, in his heart he really regretted meddling a little. That second section of the Rule Road, people were stopping the road to rob and kill people, it was just as well that no one appreciated him for minding it, but now because of this matter, he had become an incredibly powerful demon cultivator, or a yin devil. He could kill over a hundred XuanDan cultivators by himself? Is this a Shanhaijing story?
The female cultivator hurriedly shook her head and said, ”Who can know this, it must have come from the cultivators who came out of the Rule Road. If that demon cultivator comes out of the Rule Road this time, he probably has no way to go. Not only are some clans from the High and Middle Continents arresting him, but people from the Yixing Sea are also rounding him up. I heard that he even killed Shen Tu Yun, a direct descendant of the Yixing Sea’s Curtain King Palace, this devil cultivator is really bold.”
Speaking here, this female cultivator suddenly lowered her voice and said to Ning Cheng, “Do you know what that devil cultivator Ning Cheng once did to Fairy Ru Xue? He raped Fairy Ru Xue and ……”
Ning Cheng was startled, this kind of hat should not be thrown around, he hurriedly said, “Such words should not be said, Immortal Ru Xue is a core disciple of the Numinous Sect, once word gets out, it could be the end.”
At the same time, Ning Cheng was thinking in his heart, this female cultivator was really bold, how dare she even say such things.
The female cultivator was not surprised and even lowered her voice and said, “This is not something I said, in fact anyone in Dragon Phoenix City knows about it, it’s just that everyone doesn’t dare to say it out loud. A few days ago, this matter spread to everyone. Duke Yu Hai swore a poisonous oath that he would definitely draw the soul and refine the body of that demonic cultivator Ning Cheng. Because he liked Fairy Ji of Qingxia Academy a little more, only because Fairy Ji was lost to the demonic cultivator Ning Cheng and lost her body to Ning Cheng, he had to choose Nalan Ruxue. But he did not expect that Nalan Ru Xue also lost her body to the demonic cultivator.”
Ning Cheng felt that this matter did not seem to be as simple as it appeared to be anymore, and whoever had spread this news, not only would it be bad for him, it would be equally bad for Nalan Ruxue. Who had done this in the end? Why was he being targeted?
After chatting with this female cultivator for a while longer, Ning Cheng felt that he had to leave Dragon Phoenix City as soon as possible, to continue staying here was to seek death. As for sending Yan Ji to Qingxia Academy, it would be better to forget about it.
……
“Sister Lingwei, I’ve always felt disturbed these past few days, I don’t know if big brother Ning and senior sister Ji have come out of the Rule Road. Those people said that big brother Ning refined senior sister Ji into a xie desire puppet, I’m the first to disbelieve it.” In a room in a rest house, two women were sitting opposite each other with frowns, and the one speaking was a red-clothed female cultivator.
These two were none other than Changsun Yan and Jia Lingwei, who had even come out of the Rule Road earlier than Nalan Ru Xue, though both of them were already at Xuan Dan cultivation at this point.
Jia Lingwei sighed and did not reply to Changsun Yan’s words, in fact she did not know how to reply either.
“Sister Lingwei, do you think that Brother Ning’s identity could have been told by that woman, Nalan Ruxue? I’ve never had much faith in this woman, and she’s the only one who knows Brother Ning’s identity who could possibly tell this matter out.” Changsun Yan asked again.
Jia Lingwei shook her head, “It definitely wasn’t Ruxue who said it.”
“Why?” Changsun Yan was a little puzzled.
“If it was Senior Sister Ru Xue who said it, then the capture of Ning Cheng would be at least ten times stronger than it is now. Senior Sister Ru Xue knows that Senior Sister Ning Cheng and Senior Sister Ji have fallen into the Blood River, think about it, has anyone ever fallen into the Blood River and still managed to come out alive? Since they had fallen into the Blood River and still survived, that meant that they knew the secrets inside the Blood River.
The Blood River has always been one of the most mysterious existences within the Rule Road, and if they knew the secrets of the Blood River, how many great figures would be there to catch them? Wouldn’t it just be a few wanted warrants and that would be it? Maybe there won’t be any wanted warrants at all, they’ll just be catching them in secret.” Jia Lingwei replied in a deep voice.
“Yes, I didn’t expect Brother Ning and Senior Sister Ji to survive from inside the Blood River. If this matter were to be told, no one would dare to believe it at all.” Changsun Yan sighed.
“Sister Lingwei, who do you think deliberately released the news that Nalan Ru Xue lost her virginity to Big Brother Ning? Could it be Nalan Ru Xue’s enemy?” Changsun Yan’s mind jumped too quickly, just now she was lamenting Ning Cheng, but in a flash she changed the topic to the matter of Nalan Ruxue losing her body.
Jia Lingwei shook her head and said, “I’m not sure about that, but I did guess someone in my heart, and I don’t know if my guess is correct.”
“Who is it?” Changsun Yan asked urgently.
“Nalan Ruxue.”
“Ah ……”
