Before Ning Cheng had time to check on the few people in Xiao Pengsheng, more vine branches swept over. Ning Cheng was horrified in his heart as thirty-six Tai Void True Devil Axes were completely sacrificed, forming a defensive axe formation around him.
“Slap slap slap ……” The dense green vine branches slapped on top of Ning Cheng’s axe shadow, emitting a continuous ringing sound. With each slap of these vine branches, Ning Cheng felt his true essence shake.
Without even thinking about it, Ning Cheng knew clearly that the moment his true essence and divine sense were depleted, he would be completely wrapped up in these vine branches.
Ning Cheng grabbed out a handful of formation flags and threw them out, he wanted to use the opening in the Tai Void True Devil Axe to block these vine branches to set up a defensive formation.
At this time, Ning Cheng had no time to observe the situation around him as he threw out one formation flag after another. A wall of defensive formations was set up around him, and it was only when the defensive formation had taken shape that Ning Cheng had time to observe the situation around him.
If he didn’t look, Ning Cheng felt that he would always escape, but with this look, his heart sank to the bottom.
In the green-coloured cave, a white skeleton was wrapped in an endless number of vines. There was no need to guess at all to know that these skeletons had fought with these vine branches in the first place before ending up in such a state.
Xiao Pensheng, Mu Ziming and the man in grey were all fighting desperately against these terrifying vine branches around them at this time, just like him.
“Senior Mu, what are these things? Why are they so difficult to deal with?” Ning Cheng was shocked beyond belief when he discovered that even Mu Ziming and Xiao Pensheng were unable to completely free themselves from these vine branches.
It was certain that Mu Zi Ming and Xiao Pen Sheng were above the Transformation Tripod, even above the Transformation Tripod could not break free, so how long could he last even if he had set up a formation?
Mu Ziming let out a gasp and said, “Ning Cheng, if you have the means to do so, hurry up and leave, this is the Wu Hei Ghost Vine, which is incomparably terrifying and specialises in sucking one’s soul and flesh and blood. Once wrapped in this vine, even if one has heavenly skills, they will be absorbed by these vines to finish their essence and blood and eventually fall. You see the white bones in here, right? These white bones are an example ……”
“I really didn’t expect that there are such horrible and mischievous things in the Heavenly Continent. If this kind of thing grows out of the ground one day, the entire Heaven Continent and even the Yixing Continent will also become the roots of the Unmercurial Ghost Vine ……” Xiao Pensheng also said with a stuck white face, and the vines surrounding him were brushing down in a continuous stream.
Ning Cheng swept his gaze towards the man in grey, who was a little better than Xiao Pengsheng and Mu Ziming, who seemed to have a set of methods to resist this kind of ghost vine.
But whether they had a way or not, their formation level was not as strong as Ning Cheng’s, nor did they have the thirty-six small axes of the Extreme True Weapon, so they could only resist hard with their own powerful cultivation.
“Senior Mu, can you know this scum in grey? He robbed my Rainbow Fall Sword Sect of the Immortal Outer Rainbow Sword and assassinated my Rainbow Fall Sword Sect.” Ning Cheng once again turned to Mu Zi Ming and asked.
Before Mu Ziming could speak, Xiao Pensheng took the initiative to reply, “I felt that he was somewhat familiar before, and now I finally remembered, this person is called Jia XIII and has a nickname of King Wuh. Apart from that, he is also a rank nine Heavenly Pill Grandmaster. I heard that he went to the Heavenly Road hundreds of years ago, but I never thought that he would still stay in the Heavenly Continent to harm people ……”
“Wu He?” Ning Cheng repeated these two words in a puzzled manner, for a Grade 9 Heavenly Pill Grandmaster, others treated him as a legend, he simply didn’t care. As long as he wanted to, he could advance to Grade 8 Earth Dan Grandmaster anytime. If he had spirit herbs, it was not impossible to advance to a Level 9 Heavenly Pill Grandmaster.
Mu Zi Ming said in a deep voice, ”In the Yixing Continent, there is a most poisonous snake called Black Her, and the reason why Jia XIII’s nickname is called Wu Her is because he is three times more poisonous than the most poisonous snake, Black Her. Even if a Cultivator of the Cultivation Tripod is poisoned by this snake, he will die without surviving.
Hundreds of years ago, this man destroyed twenty-seven sects in a row in the Sky Continent, leaving no dogs or chickens behind. The reason was simply to find a spiritual herb, which he suspected was among these twenty-seven sects, and destroyed so many sects. I also don’t know how he found out where the Crow’s Nest Ghost Vine is and tricked us into coming here.”
“This scum sought me out knowing that I had the Nine-Coloured Mirage Tree and Mirage Stone, I just didn’t expect to drag the two seniors into it.” Regardless of what Mu Zi Ming and Xiao Pengsheng meant by following him, Ning Cheng’s impression of Mu Zi Ming and Xiao Pengsheng was quite good.
“I understand, this person wants the Unmercurial Ghost Vine King, which is extremely difficult to refine, yet he can confuse the Ghost Vine King through the Nine Coloured Mirage Tree and refine it ……” said Mu Zi Ming in shock.
The man in grey suddenly laughed loudly, “Knowing that my name is Gha XIII, when this king goes out, he will definitely throw all the disciples of the ten clans of the Heaven Continent here to sacrifice my Unmercurial Ghost Vine King.”
Ning Cheng suddenly thought of the Immortal Outer Falling Rainbow Sword being on Gha XIII, if he let Gha XIII remember to use the Immortal Outer Falling Rainbow Sword to deal with these Unmasked Ghost Vine branches, it was unknown what the outcome would be.
Thinking of this, Ning Cheng simply stopped talking and blasted twelve Tai Void True Devil Axes at Jia XIII.
Jia XIII had an easier time dealing with these Wunderkind Ghost Vines than Mu Zi Ming and Xiao Pengsheng, but when Ning Cheng joined the Wunderkind Ghost Vine branches to attack Jia XIII, Jia XIII immediately had a hard time. If he knew what Ning Cheng was thinking, he would definitely spit blood and scream madly, “Nima, is the Immortal Outer Falling Rainbow Sword that easy to refine?
“Little beast, you are crazy ……” Seeing Ning Cheng himself being surrounded by so many Unmercurial Ghost Vines and the other party still daring to attack him, Jia XIII was furious beyond measure.
No matter how angry he was, he could not stop Ning Cheng’s attack, without the Crowded Ghost Vine, this point of Ning Cheng’s attack would be similar to scratching an itch to Jia XIII. But with the attack of the Crowded Ghost Vine, Ning Cheng’s attack would be like adding frost to a snowy mountain.
This was what was meant by the proverb ‘a stretcher does not add a catty, a boat does not add a stretcher’, you were already having a hard time picking a load, if another catty was added on top of that load, it might just crush you down.
Ning Cheng’s attack on Jia XIII caused the Crow’s Underworld Ghost Vine to become even more frantic. In just a few dozen breaths of time, Jia XIII was wrapped around a ghost vine branch, and without waiting for him to push this ghost vine branch away, a new ghost vine branch fell down again.
Ning Cheng retrieved his Tai Void True Devil Axe, not that he did not want to continue to fall, but he himself did not have that ability anymore. His formation was making a clacking sound as it was about to crack under the beatings of the countless Wunderkind Ghost Vines. He had to retrieve his Taixu True Devil Axe to defend himself.
……
Time was like flowing water, and the years were still passing by.
In the blink of an eye, twenty years had passed since Ning Cheng and Yin Yang Dao Rong Jin had dueled at the Heavenly Dao Square Dou Sheng Gate.
Twenty years was a cycle of vicissitudes in the mundane world, and even in the Celestial Continent, twenty years had seen huge changes.
Twenty years ago, after the duel between Ning Cheng and Rong Jin, he left the Heavenly Dao Plaza and disappeared from sight in the Heavenly Continent at the same time.
After Ning Cheng disappeared, not much changed for the Rainbow Fallen Sword Sect, as Rui Bai Shan, the patriarch of the Rainbow Fallen Sword Sect, suddenly returned. And at the same time, the Zhangyi Dao Sect also suddenly opened its mountain.
Upon his return, Rui Baishan did not take over the position of Patriarch, but merely retired to become the Rainbow Fallen Sword Sect’s Supreme Elder. At the same time, several statements were issued, apart from the fact that Ning Cheng was still the Lord of the Rainbow Fallen Sword Sect, another one was that if Mirage Island did not send Liang Kexin to the Rainbow Fallen Sword Sect, the Rainbow Fallen Sword Sect would trample down Mirage Island.
Mirage Island did not put up any resistance, nor did it find any reason to do so. On the third day after the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect issued the statement, it sent Liang Kexin, a disciple of the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect, to the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect, and at the same time compensated a large amount of spiritual stone resources.
Those who had disappeared together with Ning Cheng back then, apart from a grey-clothed man who had searched for Ning Cheng, were also the Dao Master of the Heavenly Dao Sect, Xiao Pensheng, and the Dao Master of the Heavenly Alliance, Mu Ziming.
These were also seen, and with the disappearance of several people, the news was spread out.
The last person who had met with Ning Cheng twenty years ago, Faint but came out of seclusion after the fourth level of the Cauldron Transformation, while openly intercepting Jiang Jun of the Red Star Sword Sect and decimating him. The Red Star Sword Faction did not come out to take revenge because of the matter of Fain Kyun beheading Jiang Jun, and the matter was left unsettled.
After killing Jiang Jun, the first thing she did was not to return to the Big Easy Island, but to the Rainbow Fallen Sword Sect. As for what she was doing at the Rainbow Sword Sect, no one knew. Only Sang Xiezhu had vaguely guessed something. Temperance had not used up her spirit veins, so she should have gone to send them to Ning Cheng’s sister.
……
The main peak of the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect, Rainbow Fall Sword Peak.
Even though Rui Bai Shan had returned, he did not take it back and it was still Ning Cheng’s cave residence.
At this moment, several people were sitting around in the council chamber, with Ji Luofei sitting at the top. In addition, Ning Ruolan, Nan Yuefang, Yang Honghou, Tai Shu Pinghao, Ren’e, Zhang Qian, Liang Kexin and others were all here. Even Grey Tootoo was shrinking beside Concubine Ji Luo, who looked even more ordinary compared to before.
These people were also disciples from the main peak of the Rainbow Fallen Sword Sect, and were also people beside Ning Cheng. Only Tan Gyun was not a member of the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect, but since Tan Gyun had lived in the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect all these years and had brought in spirit veins for the people to cultivate, no one had treated her as an outsider for a long time. If it wasn’t for the spirit veins that Temperance had brought, everyone wouldn’t have been able to cultivate so quickly.
“There is news coming from outside that elder brother, senior Xiao Pensheng and senior Mu Ziming besieged that man in grey together and later entered the Heavenly Road, I don’t think this statement makes sense at all. If brother wanted to go to the Heavenly Road, he would definitely have told us, there is absolutely no way he would have gone to the Heavenly Road alone.” After twenty years of storms, Ning Ruo Lan had long since matured. Her appearance had not changed in any way, but her cultivation level was already at the third level of the Yuan Soul.
Ji Luofei nodded, “What Ruo Lan said is right, Ning Cheng would not enter the Heavenly Road without a reason. Our cultivation levels are still a little too low right now to go out and investigate, so I’ll go and ask Elder Tai Shangrui about it later.”
Ji Luofei was a little more qualified than Ning Ruolan, but just because she was too worried about Ning Cheng, she was also stuck at the Yuan Soul cultivation level. In comparison, Tai Shu Ping Hao was instead at the late Yuan Soul stage.
……
“You guys don’t need to worry, I’ve projected that Ning Cheng is fine. As for whether or not he has gone to the Heavenly Road, I am not very clear at the moment. The Xuan Guang Chamber of Commerce is willing to take out a branch of the Nine-Coloured Mirage Tree that Ning Cheng left behind back then, and Liang Kexin is also willing to take out a Nine-Coloured Mirage Stone. With these things, the number of places to enter the Heavenly Road will be greatly increased, and when you have cultivated to become a Cultivation Cauldron, you can enter the Heavenly Road with me to take a look ……,” Rui Baishan was a little older than he was back then, but he was very patient when facing Ji Luofei and Ning Ruolan.
Although Ji Luofei and Ning Ruo Lan were eager to see Ning Cheng, they also knew the importance of the matter, they understood that Rui Tai Shang was doing it for their own good.
Tantai Fei, the Vice Patriarch sitting on the side, was about to speak when an external disciple hurried in to report, “Elder Tai Shang, Patriarch, outside the sect there is an Elder of the Harmonised Tripod called Meng Jingxiu seeking an audience, she says she is a friend of Patriarch Ning.”
