“Oh, if it gets in the way of your fortune, how uncomplicated would you like it to be? I, Gong Xiuzhu, don’t believe it yet. Show me what means you have, I, Gong Xiu Zhu, will see if I can take it.” A male cultivator with a face full of flesh stood out and sneered disdainfully at this Heavenly Fate Realm cultivator called Shao Kui. After saying that, he even offered up his own magic treasure, obviously ready to make a move at any time.
The cultivator called Shao Kui was stunned, he did not expect anyone to stand up for the two Nian Xing junior cultivators. Just now, he was only speaking up for the pair of male and female cultivators he knew casually, and that was because he knew the elder brother of the broken star male cultivator, who was also a late Heavenly Fate realm cultivator. If he really fought with other Heavenly Fate Realm cultivators for the two of them, then he would not be very willing to do so.
“This senior, just now the two of them were blocking my way to snatch the Eternal Hope Pill because they were deliberately doing so, and that’s why big brother Shao Kui helped me out.” The broken star male cultivator saw that something was wrong and hurriedly came out to explain. He likewise hadn’t expected that there would still be cultivators from the Heavenly Fate Realm standing up to help Ning Ruolan and Helian Dai.
“Is that so? I’m just going to obstruct your fortune today, what can you do to me?” Gong Xiu Zhu said even more disdainfully.
The few cultivators who had just come were all at the Heavenly Fate Realm cultivation level, and they were also a bit surprised as to why this Gong Xiu Zhu, who was usually not concerned about anything, was suddenly so righteous at this time. Could it be that he had taken a fancy to these two beautiful female cultivators?
But when they saw the two female cultivators, especially Ning Ruolan’s appearance, they all understood at once.
“Everyone, if any of you have seen her, please give a hand to help out. I will definitely have a heavy reward when we come out in the future.” These words were before they entered the Holy Hall. That senior had said it. The female cultivator in the yellow dress in front of them. Wasn’t it the same person that senior had asked them to help?
“Humph. I, Mister Wan, am not someone who is afraid of trouble either.” The Heavenly Fate Realm cultivator called Shao Kui had no intention of stepping up to the plate, but it was just that Gong Xiu Zhu was too aggressive.
“Hey, it’s not Gong Xiu Zhu’s friend who is blocking your path to wealth, I, Ban Kang, am also not convinced and will block your path to wealth as well. If you dare to touch a single hair of these two senior sisters today, I, Ban Kang, will destroy you, try it if you don’t believe me.” Another Heavenly Fate Realm cultivator stepped forward.
“And I, Huaiyu Mountain ……”
“I, Be Jun Yi ……”
In the blink of an eye, all four of these Heavenly Fate Realm cultivators who had just come over stood out. And all of them were backing up Ning Ruolan and Helian Dai.
Not to mention that Ning Ruolan and Helian Dai were dumbfounded, the rest of the cultivators were also completely confused as to what was going on. It had only been two or three months since they had entered the Hall of Shadows, but had it become so fashionable to help people? How come the few Heavenly Fate Realm cultivators here all wanted to help out these two female cultivators?
Ning Ruo Lan hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully clasped her fist in salute, “Thank you, seniors, the truth is that just now these two wanted to blackmail us for something.”
In her heart, she didn’t understand what was going on, but she knew that the seniors of the Heavenly Fate Realm had come forward to help, and she had to hurry to thank them.
“Is that so?” Bei Junyi felt that he was the last to stand out, and he definitely couldn’t fall behind this time. He was the first to rush up to the male cultivator who had blackmailed Ning Ruo Lan and Helian Dai, and he just slapped him across the face.
The male cultivator hadn’t even thought that the other party would strike when he said he would. Even if he had thought of it. There was no way to resist either. The difference in realms between a Broken Star cultivator and a Heavenly Fate realm cultivator was a little too great.
“Slap.” With just a slap, the broken star male cultivator was sent flying tens of meters away by Junyi Bei, spitting out a mouthful of blood in the air and falling directly into the swampy ground. This was because Junyi did not intend to kill him, otherwise this slap would have been enough to kill the broken star male cultivator.
Wan Shao Kui’s face was extremely ugly, he grunted and turned around to leave. Staying here was a complete disgrace, he alone could not beat the four people here.
As Wan Shao Kui had left, the two broken star men and women would not dare to say another word of nonsense, and as for blackmailing, they would not dare to do so. The broken-star male cultivator climbed up from the swamp, pulled the female cultivator with him and bowed in apology before speeding back.
With four Heavenly Fate Realm cultivators here to help out two Nian Xing female cultivators, no one else would venture into this matter unless they were stupid. The rest of the cultivators went away, and in a short time, only the four newly arrived Heavenly Fate Realm cultivators and the six of Ning Ruolan and Helian Dai remained here.
Helian Dai also hurried up to thank them, if it wasn’t for these four Heavenly Fate Realm cultivators, there would have been none of their Eternal Hope Pills left. However, she was still a little uneasy in her heart, they didn’t know any of these four people, so why did they come to their aid?
“Don’t be polite, it’s the right thing to do.” The leader, Gong Xiu Zhu, was naturally overjoyed at being able to help Ning Ruolan, waving his hand as he did so.
Should? Ning Ruolan and Helian Dai were even more puzzled.
Just then, a violent explosion erupted in the distance. Starry sky Yuan Qi so dense that it shot up into the sky, and even Gong Xiu Zhu and the others, who were far away, could clearly feel it.
“Something good has come out.” Ban Kang said with glowing eyes, and then he said to the other few people, “Let’s hurry over and take a look.”
Without Ban Kang saying so, the remaining three Heavenly Fate Realm cultivators also wanted to go over and take a look. Gong Xiu Zhu glanced at Ning Ruo Lan eagerly; they had saved Ning Ruo Lan, so naturally it was not good to ask for favours in person.
However, Huai Yushan said, “Two senior sisters, there are definitely good things coming out of there. Why don’t you come over with us, how about that?”
Ning Ruo Lan had been saved by these four people and was already a little apprehensive in her heart. Now that these four people wanted them to go over together, Ning Ruolan was naturally unwilling. Besides, with their cultivation levels, even if they went over, they wouldn’t be able to share any benefits.
Thinking of this, Ning Ruolan bowed again and said, “We are of low cultivation and are preparing to go out, so we won’t go over.”
“Well then, we will go first. We will definitely visit your shop in the future ……,” said Gong Xiu Zhu hurriedly.
The City Ruo Lan material shop was outside the Phantom Shadow Sanctuary, and when they went out in the future, they would always meet the senior who had requested them. So, it would have to be considered that Ning Ruo Lan was not with them, the benefits would still be there in the future.
Seeing that the four Heavenly Fate Realm cultivators had really left, Ning Ruolan and Helian Dai were instead a little uncomfortable. Helian Dai asked in confusion, “Sister Ruo Lan, why are they so kind? Did they go to our tavern for a drink to get to know us? But we don’t have any more restaurants? Besides, we rarely have seniors from the Heavenly Fate Realm go over at our tavern.”
Ning Ruolan frowned as well. Not understanding what was going on at all. It took a while before she said. “Whatever it is, let’s hurry up and get out, then get away from this place.”
“Good……” Helian Dai hurriedly responded, and Ning Ruo Lan and Ning Ruo Lan flew back out.
……
“Brother Bamboo, why don’t you just state that it was that senior who entrusted us with the help?” Only after the four of them had moved away from Ning Ruo Lan did Ban Kang ask out loud.
“You’re so stupid, the fact that we saved those two female cultivators is something that everyone knows. Those two female cultivators will talk about it when they go out later. It’s even clearer. We deliberately pointed out that we were entrusted by that senior, and the sentiment was weaker by a mile. Now we pretend we don’t know anything, with that senior’s generosity, can we get anything less?” Gong Xiu Zhu said disdainfully.
“Right, Brother Bamboo is right. By purposely pointing it out, others would think we were holding the favour in return. Now that we pretend we don’t know anything, that senior might give even more.” Huai Yushan immediately praised.
Bei Junyi, who was following behind, also said, “Then we’ll go out right after we go to that place in front.”
The remaining three were all looking at Bei Junyi speechlessly, it was obvious. If it wasn’t for that place up ahead where the starry sky Yuan Qi was too dense. There was definitely something heavenly and good coming out, they all wanted to send Ning Ruolan and the two of them out now.
…….
Ning Cheng had come to a halt. In front of him was a chaotic fog, and his divine sense could only penetrate to a few dozen feet. The fog was filled with a raging aura, and it seemed that as soon as he entered this fog, he would be strangled into pieces by the raging aura. He also did not expect to appear in this place after passing through the forbidden lapis lazuli path.
Even though Ning Cheng was sure that Ning Ruolan would not enter this place, he could not resist his inner curiosity and entered the fog of this violent aura.
The terrifying tearing and blade-like aura penetrated Ning Cheng’s skin, and even with Ning Cheng’s Starry Sky Body refining strength, he could feel a burst of pain. It was evident that this fog was not only highly poisonous, but also carried powerful attacks. When an ordinary cultivator entered, he was afraid that he would immediately be torn apart by the fog.
When Ning Cheng entered a hundred feet away, a huge gate blocked his way. On the gate were four words, Phantom Shadow Holy Hall.
Ning Cheng sucked in a breath, so this was the real entrance to the Hall of Phantom Shadows. The places in front of him were not all ah, this Phantom Shadow Holy Hall really looked like a Phantom Shadow.
Ning Cheng tried to use his divine sense to penetrate inside this gate, but his divine sense could not penetrate at all. He could even hear a whimpering sound like that of a night lord, and these whimperings seeped out from the door, seeping beyond recognition.
This gate was definitely surrounded by a level nine star formation, or even a star formation that surpassed level nine. Ning Cheng knew that with his current skills, it would not be a simple matter for him to open this gate of the Phantom Shadow Holy Hall. Moreover, Ning Cheng could tell from the formations around this place that someone had come here not long ago and had attacked the gate, only that it had not been opened.
It looked like the fellow who had come before had gone out to find someone to help, Ning Cheng thought to himself. Indeed, with such defensive formations and prohibitions of the Phantom Shadow Sanctuary, it was definitely not something that an ordinary cultivator could open.
Ning Cheng did not try to continue attacking this gate, with his cultivation level and formation level, if he was determined to enter, it would always open after a long time. For Ning Cheng, the main thing right now was not to enter the Phantom Shadow Holy Hall.
Ning Cheng retreated, knowing that with his power alone, it would be absolutely difficult to find someone in this Hall of Phantom Shadows, which his divine sense could not fully penetrate. Rather than that, he might as well retreat to the place of the entrance and wait. Then tell those cultivators who had entered the Hall of Phantom Shadows that whoever met Ning Ruolan, they should let her out, in which case the efficiency would be much higher than if he went searching on his own.
Luckily, he had set up a teleportation array at the entrance before, so there was no need to exit at all, he could simply sacrifice the teleportation array flag and return to the original entrance.
Several teleportation formation flags were thrown out and Ning Cheng was wrapped in several teleportation formation lights, in just a few breaths of time, he was back at the entrance again.
Before Ning Cheng could step out of the teleportation formation, he saw two female cultivators hurriedly running towards the exit, and one of the figures was incredibly familiar.
“Ruo Lan ……” Ning Cheng held back his inner excitement and called out loudly.
