Ning Cheng had just stepped out of the Returned Capital Star City when he saw two familiar faces, Xun Zhihe and Mu Hao. Xun Zhihe was a Starry Sky Emperor of the Water Fairy Starry Sky, and Ning Cheng had even helped her once at the Shadow Sanctuary.
Xun Zhihe and Mu Hao had escaped from the Shadow Sacred Hall, Ning Cheng had heard about it from Yi Jiufeng, and he had never thought that she was also in Guidu Starry Sky City. Xun Zhihe and Mu Hao should have come to Guidu for the auction as well.
Beside Xun Zhihe and Mu Hao, there were two other men, both of whom were also Eternal Realm powerhouses. Together with Xun Zhihe and Mu Hao, Ning Cheng guessed that these two must also be Starry Sky Emperors of a Starry Sky.
“Sovereign Ning, I really didn’t expect to meet …… here,” Xun Zhihe called out joyfully immediately after seeing Ning Cheng. She had previously been to the resting inn where Ning Cheng was resting and had not found him. When Ning Cheng had helped out at the Phantom Shadow Sanctuary, she had always remembered this kindness in her heart.
Mu Hao, who had a dead face and did not like to talk, also gave Ning Cheng a fist hug after seeing him.
Ning Cheng returned the salute, “I didn’t expect to see Senior Sister Xun and Brother Mu here.”
Knowing that the person he met was Ning Cheng, the man with the eagle nose and thick eyebrows standing beside Xun Zhihe hurriedly also came forward and cupped his fist at Ning Cheng, “Jiu Jia Starry Sky Shangguan Fei has met Sovereign Ning, the last time Sovereign Ning visited Jiu Jia Starry Sky, Shangguan Fei was not present. I have been much neglected.”
Shangguan Fei was talking about the last time Ning Cheng had gone to the Infinite Sacred Land. Ning Cheng had killed Foraging Hui at the Limitless Sacred Land. It destroyed the Peerless Sacred Tree. It was naturally impossible for Shangguan Fei not to know about this matter, the Peerless Sacred Land was one of the top sects in the Nine Jia Starry Sky. If an ordinary person had gone to his own star space to provoke the sect, the Starry Sky Emperor would have been furious. Shangguan Fei, however, was clear that he was not qualified to be furious in front of Ning Cheng.
Of the four Starry Sky Emperors, three of them greeted Ning Cheng politely. But the fourth man acted as if he did not see Ning Cheng, his demeanor was arrogant and arrogant. This man had a late stage Eternal Realm cultivation, his face was tinged with layers of fierce aura, and his surrounding astral energy was extremely thick. Even the star wheels behind him formed a patchwork. As soon as Ning Cheng entered his eyes, he could see clearly that this was a top-tier powerhouse.
To such a person, Ning Cheng naturally would not take the initiative to greet him.
“I have always wanted to make another trip to the Xuanhuang Star River to thank Sovereign Ning, it just so happens that we met in Guidu this time, so if Sovereign Ning is free, go to my resting place and have a small sit for a moment.” Xun Zhihe warmly invited her.
Ning Cheng really wanted to go and sit with Xun Zhihe, he had heard all the things inside the Phantom Shadow Sanctuary from Yi Jiufeng, and now he planned to ask Xun Zhihe and Mu Hao again. He was desperate to advance to the Eternal Realm, and he didn’t care about these few hours.
At this moment, the fierce man who had ignored Ning Cheng said to Shangguan Fei. “Brother Shangguan, we need to go quickly.”
Shangguan Fei nodded his head. Cupping his fist, he said to Ning Cheng and the others, “Sovereign Ning, Fairy Zhihe, Brother Mu, I’ll be leaving first because I have something to do.”
While Mu Hao merely grunted, Xun Zhihe said with a smile, “Brother Shangguan has something to do, so naturally, please go first.”
Only after Shangguan Fei and the fierce man had left did Xun Zhihe say to Ning Cheng, “The one with Shangguan Fei is the Demon Domain’s Star Emperor Teng Shao of the Dewbay Starry Sky, he is very arrogant, Sovereign Ning need not take it to heart.”
Ning Cheng smiled faintly, he wouldn’t put such a person to heart, he just said casually, “This Teng Shao must have some kind of deal with Shangguan Fei, it seems mysterious.”
There was another sentence that Ning Cheng did not utter, if Shangguan Fei had any deal with Teng Shao with his mid Eternal stage cultivation, he was only afraid that the bone crumbs would be eaten.
Xun Zhihe said, “The two definitely had a deal, but Shangguan Fei was in a hurry to go back because his niece Shangguan Man’er had been killed by a little cultivator called Yan Ji. His younger brother Shangguan Xiang is the Star River King of the Suyuan Star River, and after unleashing the cultivators of the entire Suyuan Star River, he surprisingly failed to catch that very low cultivation junior cultivator, and something happened, Shangguan Fei went back to help ……”
“You just said that that cultivator is called Yan Ji?” Ning Cheng interrupted Xun Zhihe’s words in a startled voice.
Xun Zhihe looked at Ning Cheng in confusion and replied, “That’s right, Shangguan Fei’s younger brother is called Shangguan Xiang, he went back before the auction started, the name Yan Ji was what he said.”
“Senior Sister Xun, Brother Mu, I have urgent matters to attend to first, when I am free, we will sit together again.” After Ning Cheng finished speaking, he didn’t even wait for Xun Zhihe to reply before he eagerly sacrificed the Starry Sky Wheel and rushed out.
Xun Zhihe looked at Ning Cheng’s disappearing back and said in a puzzled manner, “Is that Yan Ji someone of Sovereign Ning’s?”
It suddenly occurred to her that the Demon Domain had a hidden teleportation array that went directly to the Middle Heaven, wouldn’t it be faster if Ning Cheng was allowed to take the teleportation array? Then she thought of the feud between Ning Cheng and Demon Domain Grand Emperor Qiao Kai Rui and suppressed the thought. Shangguan Xiang was able to ride the teleportation formation through his connections, but Ning Cheng might not necessarily be able to do so.
Ning Cheng was indeed anxious, there were as many people with the same name in the starry sky as there were cows. But what if Yan Ji was the same Yan Ji who came from the Yixing Continent? If it was really her, once he went there late and Yan Ji was killed by Shangguan Xiang, it would be useless for him to kill Shangguan Xiang even if he did.
……
Ning Cheng’s Starry Sky Wheel had just rushed out of the Frothy Silence Star Continent, and before the speed of the Starry Sky Wheel could be fully stimulated, it was stopped by someone.
Someone had set up a trap formation in the direction he was heading back, and although it was not yet able to bind him, it could completely stop him from walking away quickly.
“Qiao Kai Rui, get out of my way before I have a seizure, or else don’t blame me for turning my back on you.” Ning Cheng looked at Qiao Kai Rui, who was stopping him in front of him, and no longer had any half-hearted thoughts of being vain, his eyes were full of anger.
Qiao Kairui did not care about Ning Cheng’s anger and looked at him with disdain, “Ning Cheng, others are afraid of you, but I, Qiao Kairui, am not afraid of you. Hand over the Earth Origin Pearl and the Starry Sky Wheel, as well as the gourd you obtained at the Shadow Hall last time, and I will let you go. Otherwise, this is where your corpse will be buried today.” As the number one emperor of the Demon Region, would he not fear Ning Cheng who had no Dao proof?
Ning Cheng no longer bothered to say half a word of nonsense and blasted out with a Half Extreme Lance.
Unfortunately, his Star Rainbow Purgatory Lance had not yet been refined. Otherwise, it would have been. His strength would have risen another level.
When Ning Cheng and the Heart Piercing Tower were fighting. Qiao Kai Rui was watching from the side, he knew Ning Cheng’s methods very well. He had touched the Law of Time, so what?
Almost at the same time as Ning Cheng made his move, Qiao Kairui also made his move. Qiao Kairui’s magic treasure was the Five-coloured Morrowind Streamer, which transformed into five large streamers as soon as it was sacrificed, also in five colours, and these five colours obscured the starry sky in the shortest possible time.
In front of Ning Cheng’s eyes, the starry sky disappeared. Qiao Kai Rui had also disappeared, and even the five-coloured Morrowind Streamer had disappeared at this moment. There were only the five colours that had been enclosed, which seemed to be out of place with the entire heaven and earth, completely independent.
Ning Cheng was surrounded by these five colours, and this five-coloured space did not belong to him, but to his opponent, Qiao Kai Rui. In this space of others, Ning Cheng could not do anything, perhaps he could only wait and wait for this five-coloured space to completely sweep him away.
No matter what he did, Ning Cheng had never been the kind of person who would just wait. Not to mention this kind of life and death battle. The divine sense in the Starry Sky Sea of Consciousness frantically coalesced, forming a divine sense blade aura and a divine sense spike and blasted out. The divine Consciousness blade mane also linked up with the lance in the five-coloured space at this moment.
One more thing suddenly appeared in the five-coloured space, a haze of light, the sunset haze.
The five-coloured space that wrapped around Ning Cheng trembled and had a tendency to loosen. And at this moment, the colours of the starry sky on the periphery of the five-coloured space also came alive, as if the time before and after could not match up, causing this dislocation of space and time.
Seeing Ning Cheng’s tendency to break free of his Spatial Avatar, Qiao Kai Rui’s face changed slightly. He knew that Ning Cheng’s Time Law had only just begun, while his Space Law could form a five-coloured Space Avatar. In terms of understanding of the laws, his Spatial Laws were definitely deeper than Ning Cheng’s Time Laws. In this five-coloured space of his, he was the master. However, his five-coloured space was shaken by Ning Cheng’s Time Law and was about to tear apart.
“Boom ……” Qiao Kai Rui’s sea of consciousness trembled, and then his five-coloured space began to crack open, and even the five-coloured Morrowind was gradually becoming clearer.
Ning Cheng, who had broken free from his bindings, once again waved his hand and an abrupt large seal blasted out.
With a “click”, the five-coloured space that had been hooked up by the five-coloured Moro Banner completely disintegrated under Ning Cheng’s great seal of wishful thinking.
Without waiting for Qiao Kairui to cry out, a sunset appeared in front of his eyes and he felt that everything had come to a standstill. A lance passed through the setting sun like a poisonous snake and quickly approached his brow.
As Qiao Kairui felt a burst of beauty, his heart and soul jumped slightly, and the next moment his entire soul went cold, this was not a beautiful sunset, this was that twilight divine ability of Ning Cheng’s, the Law of Time.
At this moment, Qiao Kai Rui could no longer think of anything else and frantically pushed his astral energy. Clearly Ning Cheng’s lance had not yet pierced into Qiao Kairui’s brow, but his brow automatically opened and a dark light blasted out. While Ning Cheng’s lance slowed down for no reason, Qiao Kairui gathered the five-coloured Morrowind Streamers together at this moment and transformed them into a spatial shield.
“Boom ……” The lance blasted against this five-coloured spatial shield, stirring up a roar as the astral elements exploded, surprisingly making no headway.
Ning Cheng secretly sighed in his heart, he knew that his Sunset Twilight had not been able to nail Qiao Kai Rui not because his Time Laws were not good, but because Qiao Kai Rui’s strength was too powerful. Before he had advanced to Eternal, his Time Law was still lacking a Heaven and Earth Dao Rhythm.
Qiao Kairui’s heart was shocked, he clearly knew that when Ning Cheng and the Heart Tower Emperor faced each other back then, Ning Cheng was far inferior to the Heart Tower Emperor. Although the Heart Tower Emperor did not make a move afterwards, it was not entirely because he was afraid of Ning Cheng, but because he was afraid of the few of them.
It was unexpected that after how much time had passed, Ning Cheng was not inferior to him in the slightest. After some more time, would he still be Ning Cheng’s opponent? A chilling feeling rose in Qiao Kai Rui’s heart. Today, he had to kill Ning Cheng, otherwise the gap between him and Ning Cheng would become wider and wider, unless, he could succeed in achieving Dao enlightenment.
