No one offered a price for the mirage stone, which was expected by Ning Cheng. Although everyone wanted the nine-coloured mirage stone, they all knew that it was something that was hot to handle. Moreover, the price was not good to open, as there was simply no clear price tag for this item.
Satisfied, Ning Cheng put away the item and patted Zhang Qian’s shoulder and said, “Senior Brother Zhang, I’m leaving, see you later at the sect.”
Originally, Ning Cheng wanted to ask Zhang Qian to say hello to Elder Bei for him when he ran into him, but when he thought that Zhang Qian was not qualified to talk to Elder Bei, he simply omitted it.
When Ning Cheng walked out of this exchange venue, Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdie immediately followed him out. Jiang Jun, who was following Yin Kongchan, unexpectedly did not continue to follow, which made Ning Cheng a little strange.
When Ning Cheng left the exchange hall, he accelerated his speed, but as fast as he was, both Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdie were following closely.
Ning Cheng, who was about to walk out of the Heavenly Dao Square, finally stopped and looked back at the two female cultivators who were following him and said, “You two, let’s not speak in the dark, so let’s not talk about the reasons for that nonsense. Yin Kongchan, I’m going to close down now, don’t follow me, I’ll treat you to coffee next time I’m free.
And Xu Yingdie, I saved your life once and you let me take advantage of you, so let’s call it even and let’s not get involved. I’ve sold all of my Spirit Cleansing Dew, and I don’t have any extra for your dowry. As for the mirage stones, if you really want them, go to the Rainbow Sword Sect and ask for them, I can’t get away anyway. Now I beg you two to go and find a good family to marry, don’t follow me okay?”
If it wasn’t for these two women, he would have used his Heavenly Cloud Twin Wings to vanish away as soon as he came out, and then used the vanishing talisman. Now these two women were following him, giving him no way to vanish.
Yin Kongchan said in a light voice, “Now is not the time to discuss this, now is how you should deal with the matter at hand.”
Just as Yin Kongchan’s words fell, Ning Cheng noticed that there were already several more cultivators around him, and more cultivators had arrived, even the space in this area was blocked off.
Ning Cheng’s face changed and the look he gave to Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdie was no longer the same easygoing look he had before.
Xu Yingdie seemed to know what was on Ning Cheng’s mind and took the initiative to say, “Even if we don’t follow you, you won’t be able to escape very far. With Jiang Jun’s personality, it would be strange if he could let you leave Heaven’s Path Square unharmed. It’s good for you that you’re stopped here.”
Ning Cheng hadn’t had much worry in his heart, he had killed Ding Liang as a completely normal challenge. If such a challenge would also be taken as an open and honest reason by the Red Star Sword Sect, the Heavenly Dao Hall was a little too weak.
However, now Ning Cheng felt that something was wrong, more and more cultivators were coming here. It was as if he was a first class fugitive, when did the Red Star Sword Sect have this kind of appeal?
“You don’t need to be surprised, because Ding Liang is in the top hundred of the Xuan Dan Realm preliminary round in this Heaven Continent Sect Competition. Killing any cultivator who breaks through the preliminary round at this time will also surely face a meticulous investigation by the entire Heaven Continent Sect. Otherwise, there will be chaos after the preliminary round of the Heaven Continent Clan Competition.”
Yin Kongchan’s words made Ning Cheng wake up to the fact that if the sects all specialised in assassinating each other’s powerful participating cultivators in order to get a better ranking, then it would indeed be chaos.
“Ning Cheng, last time you saved over a hundred core and true disciples from the Heaven Continent, many of my Heaven Continent sects are very grateful to you. But why do you want to kill the cultivators who have broken through the preliminary rounds in my Heaven Continent’s sect competition this time?” When the voice came, Ning Cheng already felt a powerful aura enveloping his surroundings, and he was unable to even move.
Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdie, who had been following him, seemed to be mute at this moment, surprisingly none of them came forward to speak for him. Ning Cheng cursed in his heart, and he could only explain the situation in the Exchange Hall in detail on his own.
“Humph, a bunch of nonsense. In the Heavenly Dao Cultivator Exchange Hall, even if you were to make a move, you wouldn’t be as vicious as you are. I am certain that this is your Lok Hong Sword Sect’s plot to use the ten drops of Spirit Cleansing True Dew to anger the Xuan Dan disciples of my Red Star Sword Sect, and then take the opportunity to kill the Xuan Dan cultivators of my Red Star Sword Sect who have broken through the preliminary round. There are deacons from the Heavenly Dao Square here, as well as friends and fellow disciples from all the major sects. Such despicable and shameless dirty tricks, please say how they should be dealt with.”
When Ning Cheng saw this speaking cultivator, he knew that his old enemy had come. It was the Sick Elder of the Red Star Sword Sect, Tang Guangxi, who had forced him to reveal his secret in the first place. And beside him, Jiang Jun was staring over with a sneer.
“Kill him ……”
“Crush him to death ……”
……
Tang Guangxi, as a Tripod Transformation Elder of the Red Star Sword Sect, immediately gained the support of many cultivators in this place.
“Good, I won’t kill him today either, I’ll just take out his golden pellet to console my Red Star Sword Sect’s cultivator Ding Liang. With the loss of Ding Liang, my Red Star Sword Sect’s performance in this Xuan Dan Realm Competition will definitely drop a big level ……” As Tang Guangxi spoke, he had already raised his hand and grabbed towards Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng was in a great hurry, but at this time, he couldn’t move at all.
……
“Haha …… Ding Liang of the Red Star Sword Sect has been killed, good kill, good kill ……,” at the Lok Hong Sword Sect’s premises, a Huaping Tripod Elder was laughing loudly.
However, Bei Youfa, who was sitting on the side, sighed, “Alas, although a cultivator from the Red Star Sword Sect who passed the preliminary round was killed, it didn’t do much good to my Rainbow Fallen Sword Sect. The overall level of my Rainbow Fallen Sword Sect’s XuanDan realm cultivators this time is just a little too low.”
The laughing Hua Ding Elder said unconcernedly, “That’s true, but seeing the complacent look of Tang Guangxi of the Red Star Sword Sect makes me feel uncomfortable. I don’t know who killed this Ding Liang, he’s got enough guts too ……”
Before the words of this Hua Ding elder fell, the communication bead on the wrist of Tantai Fei, the Vice Patriarch sitting on the other side, lit up for a moment. Tantai Fei’s divine sense landed on the communication bead and stood up as soon as his face changed.
“What is it? Senior Tantai?” When Elder Pei saw this expression on the Vice Patriarch’s face, he sensed that something was not right.
Tantai Fei said in a deep voice, “The one involved in this matter just now was a disciple of my Rainbow Fall Sword Sect, and I heard that the one who killed Ding Liang was also a disciple of the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect.”
“What? Who was it?” The laughing Elder Hua Ding also stood up in shock, there was such a disciple of the Rainbow Fallen Sword Sect?
“We don’t know yet ……” As Tantai Fei spoke, his communication bead lit up again, and after his divine sense swept through the communication bead, he immediately said eagerly, “It was inner disciple Zhang Qian who was bullied by Ding Liang in the cultivator exchange hall, and just Ning Cheng, an inner disciple who had come to the Heavenly Dao Plaza, had taught Ding Liang a lesson in defiance. In the end, in the ring of the Exchange Hall, Ning Cheng killed Ding Liang. Now Ning Cheng is trapped by the deacons of the Heaven’s Path Square and the cultivators of the Red Star Sword Sect, and is in great danger ……”
“Who is Ning Cheng that he could beat Ding Liang? My Lok Hong Sword Sect still has such a powerful inner disciple? Right, I remember, isn’t that the last time ……”
The words of that harrumphing Din cultivator were interrupted by Bei Youfa, “Elder Ying, Senior Tantai and I will go to save Ning Cheng immediately, so hurry up and tell the sect master. That Red Star Sword Sect’s Tang Guangxi has a grudge against Ning Cheng, just in case he doesn’t want his old face ……”
…….
At the same time, a ‘bang’ sounded and exploded not far from Ning Cheng.
Even if the forbidden systems around the Heavenly Dao Plaza were terribly strong, this diffuse cracking of true essence still shook the space with these forbidden systems. Cultivators with poor cultivation levels were so depressed by this forbidden shaking that they almost vomited out of their chests. The space around them was also loosened by this impact.
Ning Cheng was relieved that someone would step in to help him out, which he had not expected.
“Fellow Daoist Hu, what do you mean by that? A cultivator from my Red Star Sword Sect was killed in the Heavenly Dao Square, and you are actually helping the murderer?” Tang Guangxi asked back with an ugly face. His cultivation level was inferior to the other party’s, so he could only be accountable.
The one who stepped in to help Ning Cheng was a middle-aged cultivator with a full beard, he clapped his hands as if nothing had happened and said, “This Ning Cheng has saved the life of my disciple Li Lingfan, even if you want to take action, you should at least let the matter be investigated clearly before you do so, right? Could it be that you are also afraid that if this matter is cleared up, it will be detrimental to you?”
Ning Cheng saw that Li Lingfan, who was next to this bearded middle-aged cultivator, was smiling and nodding at him, and immediately knew that it was Li Lingfan who had asked his master to do something. This man was eight-faced, but he was also a guy who knew how to repay his kindness. Ning Cheng gave Li Lingfan a fist hug from afar to show his gratitude.
“Hmph, Tang Guangxi, I knew you would shamelessly bully the small with the big. Could it be that you thought that my Lok Hong Sword Sect was easy to bully?” A familiar voice came and Ning Cheng sighed in relief, he knew that Elder Bei had come. In any case, as long as the Radiant Cauldron Sword Sect’s Transformation Cultivator had arrived, this sick man would not dare to do anything to him.
Tang Guangxi roared with extreme anger on his face, “Bei Youfa, this is the square of the Heaven Continent Sect Competition, do you think you can overshadow the Rainbow Fallen Sword Sect with one hand? Ning Cheng killed to pay for his life, there is nothing to say about that. As for why Ning Cheng killed someone, I think the deacons here will investigate it clearly ……”
“It has already been investigated.” As soon as Tang Guangxi finished his words, the Cultivator of the Transformation Tripod who had initially stopped Ning Cheng spoke out.
At this moment, there were more and more cultivators coming here, and all the major sects as well as some loose cultivators were gathered here to watch the hilarity. Many cultivators who did not understand what was going on were listening intently to this Cultivator of the Transformation Tripod to tell them the exact reason.
This Cultivator of the Transformed Tripod flew down in mid-air and first clasped his fist to the surrounding cultivators and said, “Fellow Daoists, the Heavenly Continent Clan Competition has always been one of the biggest events in our Heavenly Continent, and absolutely no one is allowed to disrupt it. Therefore, we have a mission to protect each and every participating cultivator, and no one can touch these participating cultivators without any reason. Anyone who dares to take the initiative to move a participating cultivator will be killed without amnesty.”
A loud applause came as Deacon Huading’s words drew the agreement of many onlooking cultivators.
