“I don’t know. Earlier, you were still awake on the couch, and I was healing from the injuries I had sustained from that icy cold. Then I opened my eyes, but I saw Yin Kongchan sitting beside you looking at your hand. I quickly asked her what was wrong. Suddenly I felt a pain in my back and someone was sneaking up behind me to attack me. I was so badly injured from the ice cold that I didn’t even notice it, and when I woke up again, the first thing I saw was you ……”
When she said this Xu Yingdi’s face suddenly changed, she obviously also knew that Yin Kongchan seemed to be in a bad way.
“I’ve lost my ring.” Ning Cheng seemed to have just realized that the ring was missing from his hand and said in shock.
“Ah ……” Xu Yingdie was even more surprised than Ning Cheng when she heard that Ning Cheng’s ring was gone. Immediately afterwards, she grabbed her hand and said somewhat ruefully, “My ring is also gone.”
A cultivator, in a place like this, with his ring gone, was indeed not a good thing.
Ning Cheng secretly sighed in his heart, if someone had really sneaked up on Xu Yingdie and then took away Yin Kongchan, would they be able to leave the two of them alive?
Ning Cheng suddenly felt that this scene was very familiar, back when he was studying in Jiangzhou, he liked to read Jin Yong’s. This scene, he had seen in it, how similar was Xu Yingdie to that Miss Zhao at this moment? The only difference was that he was not that brother Zhang who did not have much of a heart.
“Luckily, the ring wasn’t taken away.” Ning Cheng picked up a ring on the ground with great trepidation and then put it on his hand.
No one knew that he had two rings in his hand, one of which had been engraved with a concealment formation ban, that was also his small world. This one ring could only be sensed by himself, and was invisible to others. The other one is just an ordinary ring.
Only a formation expert, and a cultivator who was also extremely strong, could see his other hidden ring. Once his hidden ring was seen, then his formation level would also be exposed without a doubt.
There were not many people who could see through the peak level six formations engraved on the ring with a single glance, but that did not mean that there were none. When Ning Cheng first met Rui Baishan, his concealing ring was seen by Rui Baishan, and it was because of his ring that Rui Baishan knew that Ning Cheng was an expert in formations, only that Rui Baishan did not say so.
It was also because Ning Cheng’s small world had not been lost, and although Ning Cheng looked shocked just now, he actually did not have much to worry about.
“It looks like this figure has been plotting for a long time.” Ning Cheng coldly snorted and put the ring on, but the next moment Ning Cheng took the ring he had just put on off again, “No, this ring is not mine.”
This time Ning Cheng was not pretending, he really thought that the ring that fell on the ground was his before, but he did not expect that the ring was really not his. At this moment, he was really a bit scared in his heart, fortunately he had two rings, one real and one fake. It was also because he had not been using the fake ring that he had not noticed it at first.
It was only after a while that Xu Yingdie reacted and hurriedly asked, “All of your things are inside the ring?”
Ning Cheng did not answer, he was silent for a long time before he suddenly said, “Could it have been made by Yin Kongchan?”
Xu Yingdie immediately said with certainty, “No, when I was attacked, Yin Kongchan was sitting by your bed, it definitely couldn’t have been her.”
“Does Yin Kongchan have a puppet? When we were riding the shuttle, it was that puppet of hers that controlled it.” Ning Cheng asked once again.
Xu Yingdie’s face changed as she seemed to recall this puppet as well. After a long while, she still shook her head, “It can’t be her, if it was her, she had already gotten it, why did she leave the two of us behind?”
When she said this, Xu Yingdie suddenly stopped and looked at Ning Cheng with some shock. She did not say it out loud, Ning Cheng understood what she meant, that there was a fourth person here.
Ning Cheng did not say anything either, Xu Yingdie was certain that it was not Yin Kongchan who did it, yet her tone pointed to Yin Kongchan. The only thing that could not be justified was why Yin Kongchan had not finished them both off in the end. Unless there really was a fourth person, but if there really was a fourth person, it was just as unjustifiable.
On the contrary, it was more likely that Yin Kongchan had done it. Yin Kongchan had taken Ning Cheng’s ring and was grateful that Ning Cheng had saved her several times. She knew how to repay her kindness, so she had left Ning Cheng alive. Even because she had obtained the Nine Yin Marrow of the Earth’s Heart, she did not even take away Ning Cheng’s Heavenly Cloud Twin Wings.
“Would Yin Kongchan have a talisman to truly leave from here?” Ning Cheng asked again, not mentioning the matter of the ring again.
Ning Cheng was asking Xu Yingdie, and he actually knew very well in his heart that it was definitely not Yin Kongchan’s doing. There was no doubt that Xu Yingdie had been attacked by the puppet after she had been seriously injured. But the fact that Yin Kongchan had spared Xu Yingdie made him unable to think. Yin Kongchan might have spared him, Ning Cheng, but he definitely would not spare Xu Yingdie.
Moreover, Ning Cheng knew exactly why he had woken up, it seemed that he had fallen because Yin Kongchan had held him. At that time, he still had a little bit of residual consciousness, and in that instant, he remembered Rui Bai Shan’s words. When necessary, one must trust the friends around you, that is the only thing that can help you. He did not force himself to struggle, struggling at such a time was not much different from killing himself, he chose to trust Yin Kongchan.
In fact, he had done the right thing, the injuries in his body had been toned down by Yin Kongchan’s true essence, which meant that Yin Kongchan had really helped him. He had come into contact with both Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdi, and their true essence was completely different.
“I just hope that Yin Kongchan is alright.” Xu Yingdie said with a sigh, not only did she put aside the matter of her losing the ring, she was instead a little worried about Yin Kongchan.
Ning Cheng looked at Xu Yingdie suspiciously, “You and Yin Kongchan don’t seem to have a very good relationship.”
Xu Yingdie lowered her head and only said after a long time, “Because I only found out not too long ago that I am related to her by blood, my ancestor and her ancestor are the same person, and I don’t want anything to happen to her.”
After hearing Xu Yingdie’s words, Ning Cheng nodded and did not pursue the matter further. Rather than saying that she was worried about Yin Kongchan, Xu Yingdie’s words could be described as a good reason for Yin Kongchan not killing her.
Ning Cheng simply said, “My injuries have started to recover, let’s find a way to leave, we must leave this place as soon as possible.”
No matter what Xu Yingdi had done to Yin Kongchan, or even taking away that fake ring of his, Ning Cheng was unable to do anything to Xu Yingdi. A few days ago, if it wasn’t for Xu Yingdie burning her longevity to save him, or maybe he would have fallen into the Black Lake.
Although that teleportation talisman was his only basis for saving his life, who knew if it would really work?
No matter what Xu Yingdie thought at the time, she had paid a price close to her life to save him once. Ning Cheng was clear in his grudges, and a favour was a favour. No matter what, he would help Xu Yingdie recover his life span or help Xu Yingdie advance to the God Shaping Realm.
……
Ning Cheng and Xu Yingdie left their original spot, and his divine sense immediately spread out. He wanted to find out if there was an exit from here. Whether he could get out or not, he could not return to the Spectral Mist Graveyard for the time being. There was a poisonous fog in the Phantom Mist Graveyard, and they did not have a Barrier Dissipation Pill right now.
The two of them had walked for just under half an incense stick when Ning Cheng’s footsteps stopped and there was surprisingly a familiar figure at the edge of his divine sense. Yin Kongchan?
The next moment Ning Cheng was sure that the familiar figure was Yin Kongchan. After seeing Yin Kongchan fall to the ground, Ning Cheng immediately accelerated his speed.
“It’s Yin Kongchan.” After getting close to Yin Kongchan, Xu Yingdie said in a trembling voice.
Yin Kongchan’s face was just as pale and her body was just as bloodstained, and she looked a little more injured than Xu Yingdie.
Ning Cheng did not hesitate to go forward and help Yin Kongchan up, while a pill was thrown into Yin Kongchan’s mouth.
Ning Cheng’s healing pills were all made by himself, and although the grade was not high, the quality was several times better than the equivalent pills.
In just a dozen breaths of time, Yin Kongchan opened her eyes. After seeing Ning Cheng, she breathed a sigh of relief, closed her eyes and continued to heal herself.
After rescuing Yin Kongchan, Ning Cheng felt that Xu Yingdi was not much alarmed. He suddenly had some doubts about his judgement, could it really be that Xu Yingdie had not done it?
Another hour passed and Yin Kongchan stood up, nodded to Ning Cheng and said, “Thank you for saving me once again, I need to change my clothes first.”
After saying this, Yin Kongchan casually struck a simple concealment restriction with her hand. With this kind of prohibition, Ning Cheng could vaguely see the situation inside with his eyes. Ning Cheng turned his head away, he didn’t have much of a mind to spy on Yin Kongchan.
This time, Ning Cheng really noticed that the injuries on Yin Kongchan’s body were not caused by Xu Yingdi’s Green Sword, and he became more and more confused in his heart.
Half a pillar of incense later, Yin Kongchan put away her inhibitions, and she once again changed into a clean, pale yellow dress. Apart from her pale face and somewhat unstable breath, there didn’t seem to be much special about her.
“I met a kind of demonic beast here, this kind of demonic beast comes and goes without a trace, I didn’t pay attention and was unexpectedly seriously injured by the demonic beast’s sneak attack.” Yin Kongchan took the initiative to explain, but did not say why she had appeared here alone.
Ning Cheng suddenly said, “Yin Kongchan, I’m sorry, I can’t give you the Earth Heart Nine Yin Marrow because my ring has been taken away by someone.”
Yin Kongchan’s face was gloomy, and only after a moment did she say, “I was fortunate enough to gain it and lost it, since I got it in my hands and all lost it again, it means that I am destined to have an incomplete Yuan Soul.”
“You for what you will appear here?” Ning Cheng did not ask if Yin Kongchan had taken his ring, but instead asked why Yin Kongchan had appeared thousands of metres away from them. If it wasn’t for his strong divine sense, then he would never have been able to find Yin Kongchan.
“After I helped you temper with true essence ……” Yin Kongchan said only half a sentence, a roaring sound that almost suppressed his heart swept through him.
The next moment the three of them simultaneously saw an inverted funnel black vortex hundreds of feet in circumference sweeping in, this terrifying funnel vortex, swift and incomparable speed, came in front of the three of them in a breath.
“Hurry up and flee ……” Ning Cheng shouted, immediately about to wave his Sky Cloud Wings, but before his Sky Cloud Wings could be deployed, the next moment he, Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdie were swept away by this terrifying funnel vortex at the same time, disappearing from this area There was no trace of them.
