Ning Cheng arrived at Holy Light City alone, and Holy Light City still looked magnificent and massive. Outside the Holy Light City, no forbidden formations could be felt, and immediately after Ning Cheng entered the Holy Light City, he felt layers and layers of trapped formations.
He secretly celebrated in his heart that it was fortunate that he had not chosen to meet with Barbarian Jiu Ren in Holy Light City. Otherwise, even if he had sacrificed the Five-coloured Star Splitting Arrow to wound the Ninth Prince, Shen Mengyan would not necessarily have been able to escape from Holy Light City. Not to mention Shen Mengyan, even the Penetrating Heart Tower and the others would be at their wits’ end under such cascading prohibitions in Holy Light City. As for setting up one-way teleportation in Holy Light City, it was simply impossible.
Holy Light City was like a dead city, except that the buildings were more complete than Moy City, the rest of the city was almost indistinguishable from the crumbling Moy City. Moreover, the buildings of Holy Light City were not in the form of streets at all, but were made up of altar-like structures.
Ning Cheng knew that it was deliberately built like this for the purpose of refining the Xuanhuang Star Continent, but as to why Barbarian Jiu Ren wanted to refine the Xuanhuang Star Continent and make this place a dead land, Ning Cheng simply could not understand.
After entering Holy Light City, Ning Cheng did not see anyone still here. It must be that the people who had stayed here had all left as well.
After destroying all the trapped formations of the Holy Light City along the way, Ning Cheng soon arrived at the most central part of the Holy Light City. There was a Nine Emperor’s Peak here, which should be where the pivot of the entire Xuanhuang Star Continent was refined by Barbarian Nine Ren.
Ning Cheng only knew that a great power could refine a star continent, as for how to do so he had never come across it. Whether he would do such a thing or not, Ning Cheng had to go to this Nine Emperor’s Peak to take a look.
The forbidden systems around the Nine Emperor’s Peak were even more dense, and Ning Cheng prevented anyone else from being here as he kept dropping formation flags on his way up the Nine Emperor’s Peak.
The Nine Emperor’s Peak was much higher than the Holy Light City, so Ning Cheng was careful. Together with dropping formation flags all the way, it was only after an incense stick that he arrived at the summit of the Nine Emperor’s Peak.
At the summit of the Nine Emperor’s Peak, Ning Cheng surprisingly saw a woman.
All the people had left, and there was still a woman locked up here. What made Ning Cheng puzzled was this. This woman he knew. It was the woman with silver hair and a dignified look who had been brought into Moi City by Barbarian Jiu Ren before. It was just that at this moment, she was chained to the altar at the summit of the Nine Emperor’s Peak with a chain, and her appearance looked bizarre.
When this silver-haired woman saw Ning Cheng come over, her eyes also showed doubts, but she did not say anything.
Ning Cheng remembered that this woman was besieging Yi Jiufeng together with Yu Yuechen and another demonic woman, so she was supposedly the person beside the Ninth Prince, Barbarian Jiu Ren. How could she be locked up?
There was an empty space in the middle of the altar in front of this woman, as if something had been taken away.
Ning Cheng walked over and took a closer look before he was convinced that there was an item that had been taken away from here.
“Who took the item here?” Ning Cheng looked back at this silver-haired woman and asked.
Instead of answering Ning Cheng’s words, the silver-haired woman asked in return, “Have you finally defected to Barbarian Nine Ren?”
“He, Barbarian Jiu Ren, doesn’t have the face to ask me to defect. Also now I am the one asking you about your words, not you asking me about mine.” Ning Cheng sneered.
The silver-haired woman was even more puzzled as she flicked her gaze over Ning Cheng for a moment before saying, “Yes, there was a Vitality Disc here that was taken away by Kusheng.”
“Who is Kusheng? And what is the Vitality Disc?” Ning Cheng asked.
The silver-haired woman replied, “You’ve seen it before, it’s that very thin cultivator. He came here. He said that the Ninth Prince wanted him to take the Vitality Disc. The Vitality Disc is a top-tier treasure that can absorb the vitality of any living being or even planet.”
Ning Cheng’s heart shook when he heard this. He finally understood why the vitality of the Xuanhuang Star Continent was lax and about to disappear, so it was the Vitality Disc. There was still this heaven defying thing that could absorb all living energy, how powerful did it have to be?
It looked like Barbarian Jiu Ren was probably refining the Xuanhuang Star Continent on the surface. In fact, he wanted to extract all the vitality from this place. One could imagine that everyone who had stayed on the Xuanhuang Star Continent in the first place should have fallen. All the vitality had been completely absorbed. It would be strange if they were still alive.
This Barbarian Jiu Ren was truly venomous and insidious.
“Kusheng took away the vitality disc. How dare he not kill you to silence you?” Ning Cheng looked at the silver-haired woman with some suspicion.
After hearing Ning Cheng’s words, the silver-haired woman froze for a moment and immediately understood and said in a trembling voice, “Are you saying that Barbarian Jiu Ren was killed by you and that Kusheng came to steal the Vitality Plate?”
If Kusheng hadn’t come to steal the Vitality Disc and had really come under orders, why would he kill her to silence her? Only if Barbarian Jiu Ren had been killed by the other side and Kusheng had betrayed the Ninth Prince would he kill her to silence her when he stole the Disc of Life.
It seemed that this silver-haired woman still didn’t know about the matter of Savage Jiu Ren being slapped away by Pan Qian.
The silver-haired woman did not wait for Ning Cheng to answer before she understood the general situation and hurriedly said, “Please let me go and I will repay you. I was captured by Barbarian Jiuren, and what he wanted was my essence blood. According to reason, Barbarian Jiuren is our common enemy.”
“Saving you is not that difficult, and I believe your words, only you have not told me why Kusheng did not kill you? Instead, he let it be known that he had taken the Vitality Plate.” Ning Cheng said in a faint voice.
The silver haired woman dragged her chain lock and stood up looking at Ning Cheng and said, “Because he doesn’t dare to kill me, as long as I am killed by him, he will definitely die. Not to mention him, even Barbarian Jiu Ren wouldn’t dare to kill me now. Besides, the birth pan was taken away by him, this was easy to guess, he couldn’t hide it even if he hid it.”
This silver-haired woman was only at the Eternal Realm cultivation level, and her cultivation level was also imprisoned. After seeing this situation clearly, Ning Cheng nodded, “I can let you go, you answer me a few questions. Firstly what is the origin of Barbarian Nine Ren? Secondly where did he come from?”
Without half a moment’s hesitation, the silver-haired woman answered, “His father is a powerful man from one side and has more than a hundred sons, and Barbarian Jiu Ren is ranked ninth. As for where he came from, you wouldn’t know even if I told you, the place he came from is called the Tai Su Sea.”
Ning Cheng murmured, “The Tai Su Sea? It can’t be a place in the Tai Su Realm, can it? Could it be a sea dragon king?”
“Huh, you actually know about the Tai Su Realm?” The silver-haired woman gave a startled eek.
Ning Cheng did not reply to the silver-haired woman’s words as he grabbed out a formation flag and threw it out. Then, he sacrificed his Star Rainbow Purgatory Gun and blasted down at the chain lock that was locking the silver-haired woman.
The silver-haired woman was originally trapped in the formation, and the chain lock was nothing compared to the one that held Pan Qian. With just one shot, Ning Cheng broke the chain lock.
With the trapped formation unlocked and the chain lock blown off by Ning Cheng, the silver-haired woman instantly regained her freedom. She raised her hand and slapped it towards her brow, followed by a mouthful of tainted blood spurting out.
As this mouthful of tainted blood spurted out, the aura on this silver-haired woman’s body became powerful. Her body shook slightly, and the chains that still remained on her body directly turned into crumbs and fell to the ground.
“Thank you for saving me, I’m going back, this is for you.” After recovering her cultivation, the silver-haired woman panted and a talisman appeared out of thin air in her hand, while taking out a ring and handing it to Ning Cheng.
“You are also from the Tai Su Realm, this talisman is for breaking through the interface to go back?” Ning Cheng did not bother to take the ring that this silver-haired woman handed to him, instead he looked at the talisman in this silver-haired woman’s hand and asked in a puzzled manner.
The silver-haired woman said, “It is true that I am from the Tai Su Realm, and it is not bad that this talisman is for breaking through the interface. But this talisman doesn’t allow me to go back yet, it just brings me closer to home. The Tai Su Realm and here are two different realms, and there is no way for an ordinary talisman to break through.”
Ning Cheng took a breath and said, “I don’t want your ring, can you give me one of these talismans?”
After meeting Barbarian Jiu Ren’s group of people and talking to Pan Qian, Ning Cheng knew very clearly that even if one day his cultivation reached the peak of the Eternal Realm and even witnessed the Dao in general with the Piercing Heart Tower. In this vast and boundless universe, he would still be an ant.
If he wanted to be powerful, he had to go to the Five Taiyi Realms. He could not go to the Taiyi Realm, and now the silver-haired woman said that there were talismans close to the Tai Su Realm, and if he could ask for one, he would have some hope in the future.
The silver haired woman looked at Ning Cheng with suspicion, the ring she gave had many good things in it, enough to benefit Ning Cheng, she did not expect that Ning Cheng would not want the ring, but only wanted a talisman. In fact, the talisman was indeed more precious than the ring, but this kind of preciousness was useless to Ning Cheng.
After thinking about it she still took out a talisman and handed it to Ning Cheng, “This kind of talisman, I only have three of them as well. Since I promised you, I will give you one, goodbye.”
After saying that, the talisman in the silver-haired woman’s hand turned into a light that tore open the space and rolled up the silver-haired woman and disappeared without a trace.
Ning Cheng looked at the talisman in his hand that emitted Dao rhythm, and carefully took out a jade box to put the talisman away, this talisman was even more advanced than the one he had exchanged from Duan Gantai back then.
After checking this Holy Light City carefully again and making sure that no one was around, Ning Cheng blasted this Holy Light City into the ground with a pass of the Time Wheel before leaving the Xuanhuang Star Continent.
