For rich Heavenly Fate Realm cultivators or even Star Bridge Realm cultivators, although medium-grade flying dao weapons were precious, they were not to the point of madness. But in this place, it was almost all scattered cultivators who were not rich, and more often than not, it was some cultivators below the Star Bridge realm.
When Ning Cheng took out a medium-grade flying dao weapon, it immediately attracted the attention of many cultivators. At this moment, all of them were asking each other about where the original three people from this place had gone.
At this time, not to mention that most people didn’t know, even if they did, they wouldn’t bother to tell others.
Ning Cheng’s gaze swept through the crowd, and half a column of incense later, an old man with white hair and only Immortal Realm cultivation stood out. He walked up to Ning Cheng and bowed before him before saying, “Senior, although I heard some words from those three people, I am not sure.”
“Whether it is certain or not, you should say it first.” Ning Cheng said at once.
“Yes.” The old man didn’t dare to hesitate, “At that time, I was also here nearby, and those two female cultivators were supporting a male cultivator with a sickly look on his face. One of the female cultivators said that it was better to go inside the Phantom Shadow Sanctuary. But the male cultivator said that in his current state, he definitely could not go to the Holy Hall. He also said that the two female cultivators’ cultivation levels were too low and that they could not go alone. As for whether or not they went in afterwards, I’m not sure, because I didn’t follow behind either.”
“When did this happen?” Ning Cheng asked in a deep voice.
The old man hurriedly said, “Nearly three months ago, it was right after their shop was taken over.”
Ning Cheng’s gaze swept through the crowd once more, “Does anyone else know the exact news?”
No one else in the crowd came forward to speak, in fact for the cultivators who came here, who had the time to care about others? As for lying to this powerful man with a terrifying demon pet, one wouldn’t even dare to think about it.
Seeing that there was indeed no one else who knew about Ning Ruo Lan, Ning Cheng sent the Medium Grade Dao Artifact into the old man’s hand, “This airship is yours.”
The old man took the airship with surprise and immediately said in a loud voice, “I am selling this flying magic treasure, the highest bidder will win.”
To him, the most important thing now was not the flying magic treasure, but the star coins. Only after he had enough star coins could he go and buy pills. This flying magic treasure was still hot to put in his hands.
Ning Cheng did not care as he directly set up a formation on this flat area that had become ruins. Then a huge sign was erected in front of the formation, Cheng Ruolan Materials. This sign was bigger than all the shop signs around, but none of them dared to say that this sign was affecting their business.
Even the rest of the four major chambers of commerce in Kun Zhuo Xinghe did not dare to say that the sign was in the way at this time.
Ning Cheng believed that if Ruo Lan came here, she would definitely see this sign. Once he saw just this sign, then he would know that he had come. In this place, City Ruo Lan material, only he and Ruo Lan knew about it.
“I’m going to take a look at the Phantom Shadow Sanctuary now, so you guys can go in with me.” Ning Cheng looked back at Luyu and Dong Gravel who had been following behind him.
Luyu had a delicate mind, and she knew that if she kept following behind Ning Cheng and being sheltered by him, it would not be an opportunity for her and Dong Cong. The only way to want the chance was to leave a deeper impression in front of this senior Ning.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu bowed and said, “Senior, Dong Gravel and I will stay here and wait for Senior. Dong Gravel and I have low cultivation levels, so entering the Holy Hall will affect senior instead.”
Ning Cheng was just about to say, “Aren’t you afraid that the Ji Clan will come and take revenge? But the words came to his lips and he understood what Luyu meant. Luyu was staying here because she was afraid that in case Ruo Lan and the others saw the sign and returned, she would be in danger if she stayed here, and Ruo Lan would be in the same danger if she returned, she was showing her heart to herself. For the sake of Ruo Lan, she was not afraid of danger.
“Fine, you guys stay here, I’ll leave a cave. You will crush the jade talisman immediately when Ruo Lan comes back, and if there is danger, crush the jade talisman immediately as well.” Ning Cheng took out a jade talisman and handed it to Luyu, while at the same time sacrificing another cave in the middle of the original formation.
“You guys keep a good watch on this place, Master will not treat you poorly.” Chasing Ox also said in a pretentious manner.
“You stay here too.” Ning Cheng swept a glance at Chasing Ox.
He reckoned that the Ji Family should not take the initiative to make a move, and besides, even if the Ji Family did, he would still be able to return in time if Luyu crushed the jade talisman. In case Ruo Lan came back, it would be good to have Chasing Ox here to take care of him. At least in terms of speed, Chasing Ox was incredibly powerful.
Chasing Ox did not dare to retort to Ning Cheng’s words, so it did not matter if he stayed here as there were many people here, and he was even satisfied.
……
When Ning Cheng arrived at the entrance to the Hall of Shadows, he was greeted by a large blockade restriction. Four late Heavenly Fate Realm cultivators stood before the only entrance to the blockade ban, apparently guarding the place.
“What’s going on?” Ning Cheng asked as he looked at the entrance in confusion.
The Heavenly Fate Realm cultivator at the head of the group respectfully cupped his fist and saluted Ning Cheng, “Friend, all cultivators entering the Phantom Shadow Holy Hall must pay 10,000 purple coins, this is the Star Lord’s rule.”
The four of them were guarding the entrance to the Phantom Shadow Sacred Hall, so they naturally knew what had happened not long ago. One of Ning Cheng’s beast pets had killed Zhuohe Chamber of Commerce’s Guild Master, Fu Yinghe, and the four of them together were not enough for a hoof of his beast pet, so how could they dare to be rude to Ning Cheng?
At this time many cultivators had followed Ning Cheng, just to see if Ning Cheng would pay the fee before this entrance. More people were hoping that Ning Cheng would not be willing to pay the fee and then open this entrance, then everyone would follow behind and get rich.
Ten thousand purple coins was nothing at all to Ning Cheng, but to an ordinary cultivator, even if it took countless years, they might not be able to save enough for ten thousand purple coins. These cultivators, even if they wanted to enter the Phantom Shadow Sacred Hall, were afraid that it would be impossible.
Ning Cheng could guess that the purpose of this entrance fee was to reduce the number of cultivators entering while adding some extra money. If some cultivators who had obtained good things wanted to come out of this place, I was afraid that they would have to be exploited in another layer. Think of all the cultivators who come from far away and come to the entrance, how can they not enter? I am afraid that even if the entrance fee is more expensive, those cultivators who have come from afar will find a way to get it.
However, Ning Cheng was worried in his heart, if this entrance fee had been set up a long time ago, then Ruo Lan would definitely not go in. The three of them were 30,000 purple coins, and I was afraid that they wouldn’t be able to earn that many star coins by relying on a small tavern.
“When was this entrance payment set up?” Ning Cheng asked as soon as he thought of it.
The cultivator who spoke to Ning Cheng replied even more respectfully, “Over two months ago, by order of the Star Master.”
This fellow had brought up the Star Lord several times in order to let Ning Cheng vaguely know that this was the intention of the Muia Star Lord. You can’t treat this place as the Zhuo River Chamber of Commerce.
“The Star Lord you are talking about is Star Lord Kei Youzhi of Muia?” Ning Cheng’s tone turned cold, sooner or later the Kei Family he would have to find his way to his door. Now that Ruo Lan had been forced to go to who knows where by the Ji Clan, the fire in his heart had been burning for a long time.
“Precisely.” This Heavenly Fate Realm cultivator panted, finally euphemistically bringing out the name of the Star Lord.
Immediately afterwards, he felt that something was wrong, what was wrong? By the way, this cultivator in front of him addressed the Star Lord by his direct name, and didn’t have any semblance of respect.
Just as he was figuring this out, Ning Cheng coldly snorted, “There is no need for you here, from now on there will be no toll gate here, anyone can enter or leave this place freely. Since it’s a masterless secret realm, it’s everyone’s.”
Another Heavenly Fate Realm cultivator became anxious and opened his mouth to say, “How is it ownerless? This secret realm appeared in the Muia Star, so it is naturally the Star Lord’s ……”
Ning Cheng laughed, “Appearing in Star Muia is Lord Star Lord’s, this Lord Star Lord is really imposing. Now that I am the closest to the entrance of this secret realm, I declare that this Phantom Shadow Sanctuary is mine.”
“You ……” The Heavenly Fate Realm cultivator was so angry at Ning Cheng that he didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Only Ning Cheng didn’t even wait for him to speak anymore and raised his hand to ji slap, and these four cultivators were directly blown away by him. The next moment, Ning Cheng sacrificed his Nirvana Gun. The hegemony of the Ji Clan was thus evident, going so far as to set up a fee in the secret realm.
The Nirvana Gun brought out a gun shadow, “Ka-ching, ka-ching ……”
Ning Cheng blasted away all the prohibitions set up at this entrance with a decisive force, and in just a few breaths of time, there was no longer any obstruction at the entrance to the Phantom Shadow Sacred Hall. Anyone could enter the Phantom Shadow Sacred Hall from here, and none of them needed to pay a single star coin.
The crowd of onlookers stirred up and shouted their approval, while no one was willing to lag behind, all rushing towards the Hall of Shadows.
Ning Cheng stood at the entrance and said, “Everyone, if any of you have seen her, please give a hand to help. I will definitely have a heavy reward when I come out in the future.”
Ning Cheng casually drew an image of Ning Ruo Lan, he did not dare to say that Ruo Lan was his sister. A friend with an ordinary relationship, others would offer a hand to help because of some interest. If it was a family relationship, who knew if there was anyone who would disadvantage Ruo Lan because they were biased towards the Ji family?
“Many thanks senior, we remember.” The cultivators who went in promised one after another. It was a no-brainer promise, and if they saw a casual favor, it would be good to make a good relationship with such powerful seniors.
Every cultivator who rushed into the Holy Hall cupped their fists and arched their hands to Ning Cheng, signifying their gratitude.
Ning Cheng also did not hesitate and followed him into the Holy Hall. Ning Cheng was not familiar with the Phantom Shadow Sacred Hall at all, but the name sounded odd. He was afraid that in case Ruo Lan entered the Phantom Shadow Sacred Hall, with Ruo Lan’s cultivation level, it would definitely be very dangerous.
The path into the Hall of Shadows and Shadows was all paved with green stones, and every step one took on it would make a simple-minded sound. The surrounding scenery was so beautiful that even Ning Cheng’s divine sense could not penetrate. Ning Cheng had only walked out a distance of ten metres when he felt an empty space around him, and he immediately knew that it was a teleportation formation.
The Phantom Shadow Sacred Hall was entered through teleportation, not that the Phantom Shadow Sacred Hall was located just outside the Eastern City Gate of Snow Covered City.
Ning Cheng landed on the ground, the surroundings did not look like a real hall, yet his divine sense was unable to penetrate further up and down, left and right. He did not immediately go in to check the situation, but turned back to see how to get out.
