No wonder Shui Wushang stayed here outside waiting for him, both of the Cang Pagoda Chamber of Commerce’s Guild Masters had been taken out, so she probably had nowhere to go.
“Which ones are the few Great Emperors you mentioned?” Ning Cheng suddenly thought of Piercing Heart Tower, according to reason, with these few years of seclusion, Piercing Heart Tower’s cultivation level should have solidified.
“It is Piercing Heart Tower, Qiao Kai Rui, Yi Jiu Feng and Equuschina Tianji.” Shui Wushang replied.
Sure enough, it was Heart Piercing Tower, Ning Cheng nodded, “Let’s go, let’s also go to the Frothy Silence Star Continent.”
The Piercing Heart Tower had come out of the gate and surprisingly did not go to the Jiangzhou Star to settle the score with him first, which made Ning Cheng a little puzzled. Instead of going to the Jiangzhou Star, the Heart Piercing Tower had come to the Demon Domain. This could only mean one thing, that there was something more important going on here. Perhaps, the Heart Piercing Tower also cared a lot about the Wood Origin Pearl.
The truth was that there was no one who didn’t like Wood Origin Pearls, and if there were restrictions on the use of the rest of the Origin Pearls, then Wood Origin Pearls were a top treasure for anyone. Whether they were utilised to cultivate starry sky spirit grasses or used for cultivation to heal wounds, they were all first-class treasures.
“Are they also for the Wood Origin Pearl, which is why they gathered in the Frothy Silence Star Continent?” Ning Cheng asked as soon as he thought of it, while inviting Shui Wushang onto the Starry Sky Wheel.
Shui Wushuang shook her head, “I guess they should not know that the Wood Origin Pearl has appeared.”
“Don’t know?” Ning Cheng was even more puzzled as he asked in a shocked voice, not knowing about the Wood Origin Pearl, what [were] several Great Emperors all gathering in the Frothy Silence Star Continent for?
Shui Wushuang said after getting on the Star Wheel, “That was just my guess, as for whether or not exactly they know, I am not very clear. But Senior Brother Ning, I can roughly guess who snatched the Wood Origin Pearl.”
Ning Cheng looked at Shui Wushang in amazement. The reason he hadn’t asked this yet. It was because he was certain that Shui Wushang did not know who had snatched the Wood Origin Pearl. Imagine a powerful person who could kill the head and vice head of the Cang Pagoda Chamber of Commerce. How could he possibly let anyone know where he came from? Unexpectedly, Shui Wushang had said that he could guess.
“Who is it?” Ning Cheng asked almost subconsciously.
Shui Wushuang unconsciously clenched her fist, “It should be the group of people who occupy the Xuanhuang Star Continent, I’m sure that they snatched it away.”
Without waiting for Ning Cheng to ask further, Shui Wushang took the initiative to explain, “The person who brought the Wood Origin Pearl to the Devil Domain’s Returning Capital City escaped from the Xuanhuang Star Continent, and I know him. I know him. He is from the Tie Family of Moi City in the Xuanhuang Star Continent. The Tie Family and my Shui Family still have a grudge, but now that Moyi City has been swept away, these grudges are nothing. That disciple of the Tie Family brought with him the Wood Origin Pearl, saying that he had escaped from the Xuanhuang Star Continent. He came to the Demon Domain with no place to go, so he could only find me and wanted to ask for my help to exchange the Wood Origin Pearls for a batch of cultivation resources.”
Speaking here, Shui Wushang glanced at Ning Cheng, “After I knew it was a Wood Origin Pearl, I immediately wanted to crush the jade token and ask you to come over to discuss the purchase with him. I didn’t expect that because he opened the jade box. The Wood Origin aura spilled out and attracted Yi Cang, the Guild Master of the Cang Pagoda Chamber of Commerce.
Yi Cang didn’t even say hello to me. He came to my place on his own and grabbed the Wood Origin Pearl at the same time. At this time, I can only say that this Wood Origin Pearl was taken to the Cang Pagoda Chamber of Commerce for consignment. Yi Cang did not put the Wood Origin Pearl down, but instead said that this matter was left to him. Then he put away the Wood Origin Pearl and took that disciple from the Tie Family with him to leave my residence and head to the auction.”
Ning Cheng had already vaguely guessed something after hearing this, it should be that after Yi Cang returned to the auction, the cultivator who had come after the Wood Origin Pearl had also arrived at the Frothy Silence Star Continent. As a result, they rushed into the auction and killed Yi Cang and the Vice Guild Master and snatched away the Wood Origin Pearl.
As expected, Shui Wushang continued, “I didn’t know if Lord Yi Cang would put the Wood Origin Pearl up for auction, so I prepared to leave the Silent Starland and tell you about it. As a result, before I could leave the Silent Starland, I heard a burst of star energy. When I found out about this, the Yi Cang Guild Master and Vice Guild Master were both killed and the Wood Origin Pearl disappeared. If I’m not wrong, the Wood Origin Pearl should not have been taken by a few Great Emperors.”
“So those few Great Emperors didn’t fight with the people who came to snatch the Wood Origin Pearl?” Ning Cheng asked again.
Shui Wu Shang nodded, “The Heart Tower Great Emperors should have been in the Returned Capital Star City originally, and when they rushed here, that person had grabbed everything. Perhaps that person was afraid of a few great emperors and fled without staying in Guidu much longer.”
Ning Cheng finally understood the cause and effect of what had happened, the Heart Piercing House had come to the Demon Domain a long time ago, and wondered if they were trying to discuss with Qiao Kai Rui to deal with him. But that wasn’t right either, even if these two guys wanted to discuss dealing with him, then the Equuschick and Yi Jiufeng were not always here to deal with him.
“Senior Brother Ning, there is one more thing I need to talk to you about. That Wood Origin Pearl I took a look at, and it seems to be a broken bead.” Shui Wushang said once again.
“You said that the Wood Origin Pearl was a broken one?” Ning Cheng’s heart sank, could a broken bead still complete his Xuanhuang Pearl rules? How could this be?
Shui Wushuang nodded affirmatively, “That’s right, I’m sure that the bead is broken.”
Ning Cheng was silent for a while and decided to put this matter aside for now and wait until he got the Wood Origin Pearl, thinking of this, he said to Shui Wushang, “Fairy Wushang, if you don’t want to stay in the Demon Domain, you can go to my Jiangzhou Star.”
Regardless of whether the bead was broken or not, Ning Cheng was grateful to Shui Wushang for giving him the news and took the initiative to invite Shui Wushang to the Jiangzhou Star.
Shui Wushuang hurriedly said, “Thank you, Senior Brother Ning, I want to save my father and then go to the Jiangzhou Star together. My father is still on the Xuanhuang Star Continent, I wonder if Senior Brother Ning can bring me along if he wants to go to the Xuanhuang Star Continent?”
“Sovereign Ning, a few of us were thinking of going to your Jiangzhou Star, but we didn’t expect you to take the initiative to come to the Frothy Silence Star Continent.” Before Ning Cheng could reply to Shui Wushang’s words, the voice of the Equuschick came from afar.
Ning Cheng had already seen the four of them, Piercing Heart Tower, Qiao Kai Rui, Equuschick Tianji and Yi Jiu Feng, standing not far from the entrance to the city of Guidu Starry Sky. It should be that he had just arrived at the Frothy Silence Star Continent and Qiao Kairui had received the news.
Ning Cheng was even more puzzled, he knew that at least Yi Jiufeng and Piercing Heart Tower were at odds with each other.
“Brother Qiao, I am relieved to see that you are physically unharmed.” After Ning Cheng sneered at Qiao Kairui, he immediately greeted Yi Jiufeng and Equuschus Tianji warmly. As for Penetrating Heart Building, he had only addressed them in a nonchalant manner.
Qiao Kairui’s face was calm. One could not see any semblance of joy, anger or sadness. Nor did he care about Ning Cheng’s ridicule.
“Sovereign Ning. Actually, what Brother Tian Ji said is true, if Sovereign Ning doesn’t come, we will go to Jiang Zhou Star.” The Piercing Heart Tower seemed to have long forgotten the unpleasantness between them and Ning Cheng, and their tone was even considered polite.
Seeing Ning Cheng’s frown, Yi Jiufeng hurriedly said, “Let’s go inside and discuss it first.”
……
Half a pillar of incense later, the four Great Emperors plus Ning Cheng and Shui Wushang sat in the largest meeting room of the Guidu Starry Sky City. This was the land of the Guidu City Lord’s Palace, even though Qiao Kai Rui was not the City Lord of Guidu Starry Sky City. However, there would naturally be no problem for him to commandeer this place.
“Has Sovereign Ning also heard about the events of the Xuanhuang Starlands, and has come to Guidu on purpose?” After several people sat down, Piercing Heart Tower was the first to ask.
Ning Cheng said in a light voice, “I was passing by and happened to meet up with Immortal Shangless, and was invited by Immortal Shangless to come and sit in Gui Du.”
Piercing Heart Tower did not care about Ning Cheng’s coldness and still said cautiously, “Sovereign Ning. I have deliberately invited Senior Sister Jiu Feng and the Heavenly Ji Emperor to come to the Frothy Silence Star Continent this time, it is an important matter that has a bearing on the survival of the life and death of my four great stars.”
Seeing Ning Cheng frowning again. Piercing Heart Tower explained, “Sovereign Ning might think that I am exaggerating, I believe that Sovereign Ning and Fairy Shangless were together and should be well aware of what is happening in the Xuanhuang Star Continent. Although the Xuanhuang Star Continent does not belong to our Four Great Planets, it is also on the same side of the world as us. A few years ago, a group of people of unknown origins occupied the Xuanhuang Star Continent.
It is normal for star lands to fight over each other, but this group of people was different. This group of people built a huge star city on Xuanhuang Star Land and killed Xuanhuang Star Land cultivators at will. The cultivators of the Xuanhuang Star Continent had only one role for them, and that was to build the star city for them. Once this was completed, the role disappeared. Before they were merely in the Xuanhuang Star Continent, who can be sure that they won’t come to the four starry skies in the future?”
“They’ve already come to the Demon Realm, and the two Guild Masters of the Pale Tower Chamber of Commerce were killed by them. They should have snatched something, and I guess the reason they haven’t attacked my Demon Domain on a large scale yet is because they feel that the time has not yet come.” Qiao Kairui said after Piercing Heart Tower’s words.
Putting aside the personal grudge with the Heart Piercing Tower and Qiao Kairui, Ning Cheng felt that the two men’s worries were not unfounded.
Seeing Ning Cheng’s silence, Piercing Heart Tower said once again, “Sovereign Ning and your sister are both strong, we are planning to go to Jiangzhou Star to invite the two of you, and then we will make a trip to Xuanhuang Star Continent together.”
After a brief pause, Ning Cheng said directly, “Going to the Xuanhuang Star Continent is fine, I agree. A few of you will wait for me here while I go back and prepare.”
Regardless of whether Piercing Heart Tower and the others went to the Xuanhuang Star Continent or not, Ning Cheng had to make the trip. He had promised that giant, and now that he had advanced to the Eternal Realm and had gotten the giant’s eyes, he should go and return the favour no matter what. This was a life-saving favour, and he absolutely could not delay it. One more day he delayed, and that giant would suffer one more day.
As for letting Ning Ruocheng go to Xuanhuang Starland as well, he, Piercing Heart Tower, should not dream of it. He would never take Ning Ruocheng to the Xuanhuang Star Continent if she was to stay on the Jiangzhou Star.
The reason why he said he was going back to prepare for the trip was not to take Ning Ruoqing, but to go back and explain to Fei Luo and his sister Ruo Lan. At the same time, bringing Shen Mengyan to the Xuanhuang Star Continent was something he had promised long ago.
Immediately, Piercing Heart Tower said approvingly, “Good, we’ll make an appointment to meet here again in two months and go to the Xuanhuang Star Continent together.”
The Devil’s Domain was the closest to the Xuanhuang Star Continent, and choosing to meet at the Frothy Silence Star Continent was considered the principle of proximity.
In fact, among the several people, the only one who wanted to go back to deal with matters was Ning Cheng. The rest of them had been cultivating for so many years, and had long since gotten used to being away all year round, so there was nothing at all that needed to be specifically explained.
Ning Cheng had just stood up when he felt the space around him stirring up. Apart from Shui Wushang, none of the few people here were strong people who had been through hundreds of battles and had experienced life and death. When Ning Cheng felt the spatial turmoil, the rest of the people naturally felt it too.
The first thing Ning Cheng did was to grab Shui Wushang by his side and fly backwards with the Extreme Blue Thunder City.
