The middle-aged man hurriedly stopped Chang Manyin and said, “Manyin, this time it has nothing to do with him. I was besieged by others, not him.”
The man called Song Tong laughed coldly, “It looks like I was too kind, you obviously have the Three Extremes Star Pill, but you deceived me and said that you didn’t take the stuff. If you don’t hand over the share that belongs to me, I’ll have to report it to Steward Miao. By then, Yi Jin won’t simply be injured, and even if I were to defend you two, I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do about it. And don’t tell me you can afford a Three Extremes Star Pill, or that someone gave it to you, if you have the guts to have someone send me a Three Extremes Star Pill as well?”
In Song Tong’s opinion, unless that person had a brain problem, how could they just send a Three Extremes Star Pill out? What was the price of a Three Extremes Star Pill? Not to mention that you couldn’t buy one in Border City, even if there was the occasional Three Extremes Star Pill flowing out of an auction, it would still be a sky-high price.
His worry was that if Yi Jin had the Three Extremes Star Pill, he might have other pills as well. Once Yi Jin had enough cultivation resources, he would soon be able to become a Nian Xing cultivator like him, and he absolutely could not let Yi Jin advance to Nian Xing.
Of course the Three Extremes Star Pill belonged to the sky, and this was only for ordinary cultivators such as Song Tong. To Ning Cheng, a Three Extremes Star Pill was something that was just not worth anything.
“I have plenty of pills, but who am I to give them to you? How old are you?” Ning Cheng’s abrupt voice interrupted Song Tong’s cold laugh.
“Who are you?” After asking this question, Song Tong was shocked to realize that he had not paid attention to Ning Cheng just now. It was reasonable to say that with two vague star wheels behind Ning Cheng, he should have noticed it a long time ago.
Immediately afterwards, he saw the young girl that Ning Cheng was holding in his hand, and in his heart, he even marvelled at this young girl’s so serene appearance. Even in all his years in the Border City, he had rarely seen a more beautiful and serene woman than this young girl. This young girl was definitely not simple, this was Song Tong’s first thought. Then he thought of Steward Miao, perhaps he could please him twice as much.
The thin veil that Shi Qionghua wore on her face had long since been removed by Ning Cheng, and in the future he would not let Shi Qionghua go on to become some holy maiden, and there was no need to wear any veil.
Ning Cheng simply ignored Song Tong and raised his hand to once again take out a healing pill and send it into Chang Mangyin’s hand, “Heal your wounds first.”
“Did you give the elixir just now?” Only then did Song Tong realise that there was really someone who was so generous as to casually take out a Three Extremes Star Pill to heal someone’s wounds. Moreover, this elixir looked like it was of very high quality.
When Ning Cheng swept a faint glance at Song Tong, Song Tong felt a chill run through his body and was even more shocked in his heart. He was already at Nian Xing cultivation, while the other party was only at most at Shattered Xing cultivation, so why did he have such a great pressure.
“Not bad, the pills just now were given by me, could it be that I have to greet you after giving pills to my friend?” Ning Cheng said unhurriedly.
Song Tong slowed down and did some calculations in his heart. With his Nian Xing cultivation, he was indeed no match for this Broken Star Cultivator, and this Broken Star Cultivator actually had so many Three Extremes Star Pills. Moreover, when the other party took out the Three Extremes Star Pills, he did so casually, so it was evident that this was an extremely rich cultivator. Perhaps he had something more precious than the Three Extreme Star Pills on him, he, Song Tong, could not help the other party, but someone would not put the Broken Star cultivator in his eyes.
“Haha ……” Song Tong laughed and suddenly said to Chang Man Yin, “Congratulations on finding a good backer ah, see you later.”
After saying that Song Tong turned around and quickly rushed towards where the entrance of the Border City was.
Ning Cheng had been wandering in the starry sky for so many years, just by taking a look at Song Tong’s eyes, he knew what this fellow wanted. It was just that he didn’t even put it in his eyes, if he, a cultivator who could kill the Star Bridge Realm in seconds, came to the Border City and still hid, then all these years of consuming so many cultivation resources and all the hard work of cultivation would have been in vain.
“Brother Jin, this senior is Ning Cheng, Yan Ji’s ……” Chang Man Yin also did not know what kind of person Ning Cheng was to Yan Ji, and now that Ning Cheng was holding a stunning woman in his hand, she could not say much, and said this place in a blurred tone before continuing. “It was senior Ning who saved our daughter Zhu Zhu, and now Zhu Zhu lives with senior Ning’s wife Ji Luofei ……”
Ning Cheng smiled and nodded, “Yes, Zhu Zhu and Luo Fei are together, you guys don’t need to worry. I’m coming back this time to go to Rootless Black City to see them, if you guys want to go, you can also come with me.”
Hearing that his daughter had been saved by Ning Cheng and that he could go see her together, Yi Jin was excited no different from Chang Mangyin and knelt down on the spot, “Yi Jin thanks senior Ning for his great kindness.”
Ning Cheng had given the couple pills to heal their injuries and they were grateful, but no matter how grateful they were, they were not as grateful as Ning Cheng for saving their daughter.
Ning Cheng let Yi Jin stand up and said, “You are Yan Ji’s friends, I am also Yan Ji’s friend, from now on we call each other friends, just call me Ning Cheng.”
“Yes, Senior Brother Ning.” Although Chang Man Yin and Yi Jin did not continue to call Ning Cheng senior, they did not directly address Ning Cheng by his name either. The elders and youngsters of Starry Sky cultivators were not distinguished by age, but by cultivation level.
Seeing the cultivators gathered in the distance, Yi Jin said somewhat anxiously, “Senior Brother Ning, you’d better hurry up and leave the border city.”
Chang Man Yin, who was previously worried about her husband, Yi Jin, did not think about this, but now she also reacted and then said, “Senior Brother Ning, although that Song Tong is only a Nian Xing cultivator, he has an extraordinary relationship with a steward of the Star Lord Miao family. That steward has a late stage Star Gathering cultivation and is incredibly powerful. Over the years, countless cultivators have been killed by Song Tong because they had offended him.”
“And how did those two offend Song Tong?” Ning Cheng asked.
Yi Jin said somewhat angrily, “When we had just arrived at Border City, Song Tong was just like us at that time, a casual cultivator who had just arrived at Border City. We teamed up together to venture into the starry sky and search for cultivation resources. Once we found the cave of a fallen Star Bridge realm cultivator and got a large amount of cultivation resources inside.
Because Song Tong’s cultivation level was higher than ours and he was the one in the lead, he took up most of the cultivation resources. Among these resources was a star river battleship, which was taken away by Song Tong and later given to the steward of the Miao family.”
Ning Cheng asked again, “Song Tong said earlier that you had taken away one thing, was he talking about this cave, or somewhere else?”
Yi Jin clenched his fist and said, “He was talking about that time, and the things were clearly divided that time. The two of us together got less than twenty percent, but he alone got seventy percent. Another 10% was taken by another companion, who was Song Tong’s daoist partner. Over the years, after he had advanced to Nian Xing, he had even been looking for trouble from time to time. If we had the chance, my couple would have left the border city a long time ago. It’s just that Manyin has not yet recovered from her serious injuries, and I have only just advanced to the realm, so it would be difficult to save my life if I rashly entered the starry sky.”
“Since things are very clear and he knows that you are not hiding anything, why does he still come after you time and again? No matter what, there was once a team, right?” Ning Cheng was somewhat puzzled.
The fights and backstabbing between cultivators in the starry sky were all because of interest related. If there were no interests, then people would definitely not strike out at each other for no reason to backstab each other. One more enemy was not a good thing after all.
On one side, Chang Man Yin said hoarsely, “Because he’s afraid that our couple will leak his scandalous story.”
“What scandalous matter?” Ning Cheng asked.
“Back then, there were four of us in the group, and there was also a very beautiful female cultivator, her name was Zang Renrong. Because Brother Jin and I helped each other, that female cultivator later became Song Tong’s daoist partner as well. After we discovered the Starbridge Realm cave, Song Tong was given the Star River Battleship. But he didn’t leave the Star River Battleship behind, instead he gave it to Miao Wu Qian, the steward of the Miao Family.” Chang Man Yin explained.
Ning Cheng nodded his head, this Song Tong was very good at business. The Star River Battleship was indeed important to Song Tong, but it was difficult for him to keep the Star River Battleship with his cultivation level, giving it to Miao Wu Qian to seek a backer was a bit heartfelt.
When Chang Man Yin said this, she sighed and continued with some regret, “I didn’t expect that Miao Wu Qian was a hungry man in lust, he took a glance at Song Tong’s side Zang Ren Rong and then blatantly asked Song Tong for this female cultivator. What we didn’t expect was that Song Tong would not hesitate to give Zang Renrong, his daoist partner, to Miao Wuxian.
Later he did get what he needed, not only did he find a good backer, but he also did not have to continue to venture out into the stars on his own to find cultivation resources. His cultivation level was originally just a little higher than Jin’s, but now that he has advanced to Nian Xing, we are still a long way from Nian Xing. It’s just pitiful that Zang Renrong has taken a fancy to such a brute.”
Yi Jin followed, “Because very few people knew about this matter, we as a couple happened to know. So Song Tong tried every possible way to kill us, and it was he who found someone to assassinate me when I went out and came back this time. Only I escaped. He saw that I had been given cultivation resources and was afraid that I would advance to Nian Xing, so his backstabbing of my couple was increasing. Manyin even had to live in the crowd and didn’t dare to leave.”
Only then did Ning Cheng understand that it was not easy for the Yi Jin couple to live. Knowing full well that Song Tong had found someone to backstab him, he could only say to Song Tong’s face that the other party had not done it.
“I am going to the Rootless Black City this time, so if you guys don’t have anything to do, you should come with me to the Rootless Black City.” Ning Cheng said.
Yi Jin and Chang Mangyin were Yi Zhuzhu’s parents, so no matter what, he should help out a little.
“Senior Ning, if you have a flying magic treasure, why don’t we leave now?” Seeing that Ning Cheng did not have the intention to leave immediately, Yi Jin added with some concern. As he spoke, he also deliberately looked at the city entrance in the distance.
Ning Cheng smiled faintly, “You don’t need to look, he’s already here, and he’s not alone.”
It was only then that Yi Jin and Chang Man Yin saw Song Tong and a female cultivator walking over, heading exactly their way.
“What should we do?” Chang Manyin and Yi Jin looked at each other, Ning Cheng’s cultivation level was already very high in their eyes. But a broken star cultivation level was not enough against Steward Miao.
