Bao Xie was still regretting in his heart, if he hadn’t rushed to kill Zhu Zhenfeng and grabbed the ring instead, then the ring would be in his hands now. Zhu Zhenfeng’s ring was definitely not simple, what a pity.
While Bao Xie was still regretting, Ning Cheng had long opened Zhu Zhenfeng’s ring and took out two pots of Mo Xiang Yi and gave them to Bao Xie.
Seeing Ning Cheng open Zhu Zhenfeng’s ring with great speed and take out two pots of wine and hand them to himself, Bao Xie was even more scandalized in his heart. Even if an Eternal Realm cultivator had fallen, the ban on his ring was not something that could be opened simply. Ning Cheng had opened Zhu Zhenfeng’s ring with ease, so it was clear that Ning Cheng was a top level formation master.
After Bao Xie, who had the intention to befriend Ning Cheng, put away the two pots of Mo Xiang Yi, he simply took the initiative to say to Ning Cheng, “I wonder what my friend needs my help with?”
Ning Cheng was marvelling at Zhu Zhenfeng’s wealth in his heart, when he heard Bao Xie’s words, he hurriedly put the matter of the ring aside and said with a smile, “Brother Bao, I have two friends who have entered the Thousand Gang Forest. Zhu Zhenfeng should be the one who came after my two friends, and since Brother Bao is the landlord here, I would like to ask Brother Bao for their directions.”
After a slight hesitation, Bao Xie took out a jade slip and handed it to Ning Cheng and said, “I have made you a friend, the Thousand Gang Forest is a hundred million miles in circumference. My territory is only this area, but I got a message a day ago that there was a big Yuan Qi fluctuation in the southeast, so maybe you can go there and take a look. I’ve marked the exact location on the jade slip.”
Ning Cheng took the jade slip and also cupped his fist and said, “Thank you, Brother Bao, my name is Ning Cheng, and I have made this friend of Brother Bao’s. I will go in search of my friend first, and when I have time in the future, I will definitely come to visit Brother Bao.”
Talking to a demon cultivator was quick and easy, there was no beating about the bush. If it was Duan Gantai who said that he had made him Ning Cheng’s friend, Ning Cheng would definitely think that Duan Gantai was going to count on him for something again. Ning Cheng had no doubts about Bao Xie’s words. He had no conflict of interest with Bao Xie, and if Bao Xie said that he had made him a friend, then he had approved of him.
Before Ning Cheng said goodbye, he suddenly remembered one more thing, “Brother Bao, I would also like to enquire about where to find the Douluo Grass in the Thousand Gang Forest?”
“You want the Du Luo Grass?” A hint of astonishment flashed across Bao Xie’s eyes?
Ning Cheng nodded, “It’s a friend of mine who needs it, so I’ll ask in passing.”
Bao Xie was silent for a moment before he said, “There is indeed a Du Luo Grass in the Thousand Gang Forest, but as far as I know, with Brother Ning’s current cultivation level, he is unable to approach this place. This place is called the Ancestral Treasury Altar, and it is the most mysterious place in the Thousand Heights Forest. Even I wouldn’t dare to approach around the Ancestral Treasury Altar. In the jade brief map I gave you, there is the location of the Ancestral Treasury Altar. If it’s not necessary, I suggest that Brother Ning not go to the Ancestral Treasury Altar right now.”
Ancestral Treasury Altar? Ning Cheng had some doubts in his heart. He had purchased a few jade slips at the Thousand Heights Square Market, but none of them had the place of the Ancestral Treasury Altar in them.
“In any case, many thanks to Brother Bao.” Ning Cheng thanked Bao Xie once again before turning around and leaving.
……
The Thousand Gang Forest jade slip given by Bao Xie was many times more detailed than the Thousand Gang Forest map jade slip that Ning Cheng had purchased. On the jade slip, apart from the places circled by Bao Xie, there was indeed an Ancestral Treasury Altar.
Although Ning Cheng’s Heavenly Cloud Twin Wings had not evolved yet, however, in a place like the Thousand Gorgon Forest, as long as one had a specific location, the speed of the Heavenly Cloud Twin Wings was simply not something that could be intercepted by ordinary demonic beasts. It only took an hour for Ning Cheng to find the location circled out by Bao Xie.
What met his eyes was a mess, and Ning Cheng did not see Tian Muwan or the blue-skirted female cultivator. But he knew that there must have been a battle here, and it was the most terrifying fire attribute battle. The area was burnt into nothingness by flames, and even the ground had been burnt into a huge ravine pit.
Ning Cheng walked into this area that had been burnt by flames and immediately perceived the difference. There was a trail extending away from this flaming pit, and the burn on this line of departure was a little lighter. This kind of burning should have started after someone had left.
Ning Cheng followed this trace and quickly pounced on the aura of Yuan Qi fluctuations, and indeed, someone had escaped from here.
Just an hour later, Ning Cheng stopped once again, and the huge star yuan fluctuations penetrated once again. Ning Cheng immediately increased his speed and vanish over, and half a pillar later, his divine sense had seen it clearly.
A skeleton and a male cultivator were besieging a pale demonic youth, the skeleton Ning Cheng did not know, but the male cultivator Ning Cheng was all too familiar with. Standing over two feet tall and with blonde hair and horse face, it was none other than Shui Guangxi, a strong man from the Shui Clan who had just advanced to the Eternal Realm.
Not far away from where these three were fighting, a circle of light flashed if nothing else. Inside the circle of light lay two female cultivators, and Ning Cheng recognised them as soon as they entered his eyes, they were none other than Tian Muwan and the blue-skirted female cultivator. The two should have disguised themselves, only that their disguise masks had long since been lost, and both of them were unconscious.
The astral energy fluctuations from the three cultivators’ fight kept blasting at the circle of light, which seemed to be very tough and did not break.
Ning Cheng instantly understood that the circle of light should have been set up by the blue-skirted female cultivator. I was afraid that these three people were still fighting here for what the blue-skirted woman was carrying. The blue-skirted woman had set up this defensive aperture, but it could only protect against them for a while. Once the three of them split up, the aperture would definitely be unstoppable.
The three of them were fighting so fiercely that the surrounding demonic beasts had long been frightened by the fight and ran away. As for the mountains and trees in this area, they were even destroyed to the ground. A huge ravine criss-crossed between the three, and powerful bursts of star energy blasted up continuously.
One could imagine that if Tian Muwan and the blue-skirted female cultivator had not been protected by that faint circle of light, they would probably have been blown to pieces by the waves of this fight.
Ning Cheng hid to the side and tried his best to collect his aura. He could not defeat any of these three, and he had no better way to do so now. If the blue-skirted female cultivator and Tian Muwan were not protected by that aperture, he would have been able to sneakily take the two away. But now, as soon as he came out to attack that aperture, he would immediately be discovered.
Another half column of incense passed, and just as Ning Cheng was thinking of how to open the circle of light to save Tian Muwan and the blue-skirted female cultivator, a few Star Yuan rays swept over the circle of light, and the circle of light cracked open without warning.
Ning Cheng was delighted in his heart, these few Star Yuan rays were blasted out by the white-faced demonic youth, and they blasted on top of the light circle, which was considered a mistake.
The circle of light was blasted away and the three people’s fight did not show any sign of stopping. It was evident that the three didn’t care about the little lives of the blue-skirted female cultivator and Tian Muwan, what they wanted was the ring.
However, Ning Cheng noticed that something was wrong, the white-faced cultivator seemed to be moving towards Tian Muwan and the blue-skirted female cultivator intentionally or unintentionally.
Ning Cheng had done this kind of calculating thing too many times, and he immediately knew the white-faced demonic youth’s calculations. Those few Star Yuan rays that this demonic youth had just blasted into the circle of light were definitely not unintentional, but rather intentional. Now he wanted to snatch the item before he could say anything, this scenario was just like him and Bao Xie before.
Bao Xie’s cultivation level was higher than his, but after he got the ring in his hands, Bao Xie had to compromise with him, otherwise he would get nothing.
Ning Cheng had originally planned to calculate the timing of his move, but after seeing the figure of the white-faced demonic youth, he could no longer think of anything else and rushed out in an instant, grabbing Tian Muwan and the blue-skirted female cultivator with one hand, and then waved his Sky Cloud wings violently in an instantaneous movement.
Ning Cheng had just grabbed Tian Muwan and the blue-skirted female cultivator when the white-faced cultivator arrived. Although he was only two breaths slower than Ning Cheng, he still grabbed an empty space.
As soon as the white-faced demonic youth moved, Skeleton and Shui Guangxi understood his intentions and even more frantically sacrificed their magic treasures to blast at the white-faced cultivator.
During the moment when the white-faced demonic youth was fending off the attacks of the Skeleton and Water Light Xie, Ning Cheng had long since disappeared without a trace.
After Shui Guangxi and Skeleton made their move, they knew that all three of them had been counted on. Without even waiting for the white-faced demonic youth to explain, Skeleton and Water Light Xie had already retracted their attacks and chased after Ning Cheng.
The white-faced demonic youth was naturally not in the mood to talk nonsense with the two Shui Guangxi at this point, and similarly chased after Ning Cheng.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to sacrifice the Starry Sky Wheel, at this time, he had already sensed the No Air Formation. Once the forbidden air formation appeared, it meant that he was in the depths of the Thousand Gorgon Forest.
Besides, even if there were no air-barring formations here, he would not be able to use the Starry Sky Wheel. The three powerful guys behind him were chasing him like maggots on a bone. I was afraid that he hadn’t even driven the Starry Sky Wheel yet, and they had all caught up with him.
Luckily, the air ban formation helped Ning Cheng, who could not use the Starry Sky Wheel, and the same three behind him could not use their flying magic treasures. The Sky Cloud Twin Wings were also suppressed, but the Sky Cloud Twin Wings were different from ordinary flying magic treasures. Ning Cheng could not use the Sky Cloud Twin Wings to fly continuously, but he could speed up his running speed with the help of the Sky Cloud Twin Wings.
The three were chasing behind, while Ning Cheng was running ahead. Cultivation-wise, Ning Cheng was a little weaker than the three, as he was an escapee and could choose his direction. With the help of the Heavenly Cloud Twin Wings again, the distance between Ning Cheng and the three people behind him slowly began to widen.
The distance was widening, and Ning Cheng did not dare to relax at all in his heart. Once he was caught up by these three guys, he would have absolutely no chance of getting away in the depths of the Thousand Gorgon Forest, which was suppressed by the No Space Formation.
The three guys behind him were as determined to catch up with Ning Cheng as if they had eaten a weight. Ning Cheng had been running through the Thousand Gang Forest for five or six days, but the three guys behind him still had not given up.
When it came to the end, Ning Cheng simply didn’t bother about the three guys behind him and ran frantically with his head bored, he didn’t believe that he couldn’t get rid of these three dogs.
Ning Cheng didn’t know how long he had been running for, until his divine sense was suppressed, and only then did he alertly stop.
As soon as he stopped, Ning Cheng sensed that the three people behind him had long since disappeared. He was slightly relieved, and only then did he look around.
His divine sense was suppressed to less than ten miles here, but Ning Cheng was not worried. He had seen many places that suppressed his divine sense, and there was nothing to worry about.
