The man who came was a middle-aged man in a green shirt, dressed as a Confucian scholar. Despite his middle-aged appearance, it did not detract at all from his handsome and uncommon aura.
“Duan Wenbai of the Butterfly Mountain meets Sovereign Ning, my disciples of the Butterfly Mountain have offended much before, on behalf of the Butterfly Mountain, I apologize to Sovereign Ning, please don’t take it personally with the juniors.” This middle-aged man had excellent manners, and after berating Duan Qian and Yin Xiushan, he was extremely polite to Ning Cheng. Not only were the words polite, they were also comforting to the ears when spoken.
Having greeted Ning Cheng, Duan Wenbai once again cupped his fist to Cang Caihe and said, “This should be Brother Cang, the First Dan Emperor of the Starry Sky, I am deeply honoured to have a glimpse of the First Dan Emperor today.”
Even if Duan Qian and Yin Xiushan were arrogant, they didn’t dare to talk nonsense in front of Duan Wenbai. Now that the two heard Duan Wenbai treating Ning Cheng so politely and saying that the two of them were Ning Cheng’s juniors, they were immediately stunned. Although they had never walked in the starry sky before, they were still strong people of the middle Eternal Realm. For two Eternal Realm cultivators to respect Ning Cheng as seniors, wouldn’t Ning Cheng be too terrifying?
However, both of them were a little puzzled when they thought that the domain that the two of them had just stacked up was not enough under Ning Cheng’s domain. It seemed that it was really like what Senior Uncle Wen Bo had said, this Ning Cheng was really somehow formidable.
Ning Cheng also returned the salute with a clasp of his fist, “I dare not, I am none other than the Xuanhuang Sect’s Patriarch, Ning Cheng.”
Ning Cheng also sighed in his heart, the three people from the Butterfly Mountain were either handsome and dashing, or beautiful and eye catching. That Duan Gantai was also from the Butterfly Mountain, how come he looked so ugly? This Duan Wenbai’s cultivation level was quite strong, and should not be weaker than Wu Yuankong who he had taken out.
Seeing that Ning Cheng did not have the idea of inviting him into the Jiangzhou Star, Duan Wenbai knew that it should be because Ning Cheng did not have any good feelings towards the Butterfly Mountain, so he had to say it directly. “I heard that Duan Gantai had once interacted with Sovereign Ning?”
There was a pause. And added. “It’s a bit presumptuous to ask, so please don’t mind Sovereign Ning. I inquired about him because that Duan Gantai was also a disciple who went out of my Butterfly Mountain.”
Ning Cheng nodded, “This matter is true, back then Duan Gantai and I had some gaps. The reason why we joined forces in the Demon Domain was because he had obtained the Starry Sky Luo Chi while I was able to turn it into the Eternal Emperor’s Return Pill. After that collaboration, I haven’t seen him again.”
“So that’s how it is.” Duan Wenbai said in a daze. He also did not know if he believed Ning Cheng’s words.
On the contrary, Duan Qian and Yin Xiushan were relieved, this Sovereign Ning still wanted the Eternal Emperor Return Pill, and it didn’t look like it was good. The Seventh Taisho’s words before should have been to scare them.
Ning Cheng had no good feelings towards Duan Gantai, so naturally he would not try to help Duan Gantai hide something. He took out a piece of Tethered God Silk and handed it to Duan Wenbai and said, “This piece of Tethered God Silk was given to me by Duan Gantai for that short-lived cooperation. Now that the cooperation is over, if Duan Gantai wants to find me, he will still open it. Now I am handing this section of the Tethered God Silk to Brother Duan, hoping that Brother Duan will find your disciple from Butterfly Mountain soon.”
To be able to shade Duan Gantai a little. Ning Cheng would not mind. This Duan Tethered Divine Silk was useless to him, and if Duan Gantai dared to look for him again. Then just wait for Duan Wenbai to teach him a lesson. As for Duan Qian and Yin Xiushan, the two straw men, even if they stopped Duan Gantai, Ning Cheng reckoned that these two guys would not be enough for Duan Gantai to eat.
Ning Cheng even took out the God Tethering Silk, Duan Wenbai was overjoyed in his heart and hurriedly accepted the God Tethering Silk, “Thank you, Sovereign Ning, Sovereign Butterfly Mountain welcomes Sovereign Ning as a guest at any time. If one day, Sovereign Ning wants to leave this side of the stars, he must remember to make a trip to the Butterfly Mountain by the way.”
Ning Cheng was slightly stunned, he was leaving this side of the starry sky, what did it have to do with going to the Butterfly Mountain?
Seeing that Ning Cheng was a little confused, Duan Wenbai hurriedly said, “There is a starry sky boundary point near my Butterfly Mountain, this boundary point leads to an advanced interface, back in the day, people from the Tai Su Realm came from here.”
Ning Cheng looked at Duan Wenbai and asked, “Brother Duan, are you saying that people from the Tai Su Realm went to the Xuanhuang Star Continent and that your Butterfly Mountain knew about it?”
Duan Wenbai smiled faintly, “That’s natural, my Dui Die Mountain is where this boundary point is guarded, so how could I not know that people are coming from this boundary point? It’s just that the old ancestor is still in seclusion, so I can only hold back for a while. It is thanks to Sovereign Ning that all these outsiders have been eradicated.”
After saying this, Duan Wenbai even bowed and gave a fist to Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng was calm on the surface, but he was smiling coldly in his heart. The existence of the Butterfly Mountain was the guardian boundary point? How shameless. With just one retreat, he had uncovered the lives of hundreds of millions of cultivators in the entire Xuanhuang Star Continent. How dare such a person claim to be a guardian realm point?
When he and the Penetrating Heart Tower and the others had gone to the Xuanhuang Star Continent, there was not a single shadow of the Butterfly Mountain. Even someone like the Piercing Heart Tower knew that they absolutely could not let the Ninth Prince’s group mess around in this side of the starry sky and invited him to the Xuanhuang Star Continent. As the guardian of the Butterfly Mountain, yet it was difficult to use such ridiculous excuses to inform the old ancestor of his departure?
It looked like the Butterfly Mountain had known about the existence of the Five Tai Realms for a long time, and their staying at that realm should have nothing to do with guarding but just to seek an opportunity to leave here.
Ning Cheng disdained in his heart, but his mouth remained calm as he said, “I’m not that capable of exterminating the people from the Tai Su Realm. They had an internal strife and both were defeated, which allowed me to barely escape from the Xuanhuang Star Continent, otherwise, I would have fallen there long ago.”
“Sovereign Ning is too modest, to think that the Ninth Prince, even I, the Old Ancestor of Die Mountain, may not be able to restrain him. However, Sovereign Ning easily wounded him severely, and my old ancestor of the Butterfly Mountain even specifically instructed me to come to the Jiangzhou Star and make sure to invite Sovereign Ning to be a guest at the Butterfly Mountain.” Duan Wenbai said with a straight face.
Ning Cheng frowned slightly, “Back in the battle at Moi City, no one from the Butterfly Mountain should have been there, ah, Brother Duan was actually as if he was there in person.”
The only person who had personally seen him seriously injure the Ninth Prince, Barbarian Nine Ren, was Shen Mengyan. And Shen Mengyan and Pan Qian had long since left this side of the starry sky, and would definitely not have told on him.
Duan Wenbai said with admiration on his face, “When the Heart Tower Emperor and the others were leaving from the boundary point, they were invited by my Butterfly Mountain, and the four of them went to my Butterfly Mountain as guests, and even held a treasure exchange meeting at my Butterfly Mountain. It was because of this that I learned of the thrill of the battle at Moi City back then. Patriarch Ning could be said to have saved the day alone, and apart from admiration, my Butterfly Mountain was only ashamed.”
It turned out that it was leaked by a few people from the Piercing Heart Building, Ning Cheng nodded and said in his heart that you, Die Mountain, were so shameless, so don’t say anything about being ashamed to disgust people.
Only after a while did Ning Cheng ask another question. “Brother Duan. I remember that the Nine Phoenix Emperor should not have gone with a few people from the Heart Piercing Tower, right? How come there are four of them?”
Duan Wenbai laughed. “It seems that the Heart Tower Grand Emperor returned a boundary-breaking talisman to the Nine Phoenix Grand Emperor, which is why the Nine Phoenix Grand Emperor didn’t leave with the Heart Tower Grand Emperor, but instead returned to the Great Divine Sky Astral Plane first. As for whether she has left here now, I really don’t know. But I am certain that she has not been to the boundary point again.”
Ning Cheng clasped his fist, “Thank you, Brother Duan, for informing me, if I go to the Boundary Point in the future, I will definitely pay a visit to the Butterfly Mountain.”
“Good. Then I will look forward to Sovereign Ning’s grand visit.” After saying that, he took out a jade slip and handed it to Ning Cheng, “Sovereign Ning, this is the jade slip of my Butterfly Mountain’s starry sky directions, when Sovereign Ning goes, just follow the directions of the jade slip and you will be able to reach my Butterfly Mountain.”
After giving the jade slip to Ning Cheng, Duan Wenbai took Duan Qian and Yin Xiushan with him to bid farewell and leave. Ning Cheng did not invite Duan Wenbai to the Jiangzhou Star, but instead returned to the Xuanhuang Clan with Cang Caihe and the others.
……
“Seventh Taishang, why are you being so polite to that Ning?” After leaving the Jiangzhou Star, Duan Qian still muttered somewhat reluctantly.
Ning Cheng had dared to tell her to get lost. If there hadn’t been a Seventh Great Lord coming over, she would definitely have made that Ning Cheng look good. So what if she crushed the domain of two people? Could her Butterfly Mountain’s methods be compared to that of a tiny sect leader? That Ning Cheng had searched for the Eternal Emperor Returning Pill not too long ago. It must not have been a very powerful cultivation either. What use would it be just to have a strong domain?
Duan Wenbai snorted coldly, ”It’s fine for you to seek death, don’t drag me, Die Mountain, into it. I remember that before you came out, you were repeatedly instructed not to think that because you come from Die Mountain, you’re all empty-eyed. If I hadn’t come here in time today, the two of you would have been killed by someone else, and you would have had to give my Die Mountain another powerful enemy.”
Seeing that the two were being held down by themselves, Duan Wenbai said even more sternly, “That Ning Cheng’s cultivation is not below that of the old ancestor, the two of you are simply not enough for a slap on the wrist ……”
“Ah ……” Duan Qian and Yin Xiushan were truly dumbfounded, they naturally knew how powerful the Old Ancestor of Die Mountain was. Ning Cheng, a cultivator who looked so unusual, could be compared to the old ancestor?
Duan Wenbai spoke in a morose tone, “If he didn’t have this ability, he would have been finished off by the Nine Emperors back in the Xuanhuang Star Continent. The reason why the Old Ancestor didn’t stop that Ninth Prince was that apart from the fact that the Ninth Prince was too big, there was also the fear of losing both sides with the Ninth Prince. But that Patriarch Ning was able to seriously injure the Ninth Prince and then return to Jiangzhou Star unharmed, how strong do you think he is? Perhaps you are not very familiar with the Ninth Prince, but you should always know about that Immortal Pond without a trace, right?”
“I know this, when we came out, Master had instructed us not to go to the Scentless Immortal Pond casually. Especially since the Sovereign of the Scentless Immortal Pond, Wu Yuankong, has a cultivation level that is not below that of the Supreme Elder of my Butterfly Mountain.” Duan Qian hastily nodded her head.
Duan Wenbai sighed, “That was when you guys first came out, and now the Traceless Immortal Pond is already in name only. Two years ago, the Scentless Immortal Pond Patriarch, Wu Yuankong, as well as several Eternal Realm Elders of the Scentless Immortal Pond, were all killed by that Patriarch Ning.”
“What?” Duan Qian and Yin Xiushan cried out in shock at the same time, followed by cold sweat breaking out behind their backs.
Ning Cheng was so powerful, so one could imagine that if the Seventh Tathagata had not found them in time, then at this moment, they were afraid that they would have become dead souls outside the Jiangzhou Star.
……
In Ning Cheng’s cave in Over Snow City, only Ning Cheng, Ning Ruo Lan and Ji Luofei and Ning Ruo Qing were present at this time.
“I’m going to leave the Jiangzhou Star for a while soon because I haven’t found out how to get back here ……”
“Brother, you’re leaving here?” Not waiting for Ning Cheng to finish, Ning Ruo Lan asked eagerly, her eyes showed strong reluctance, she really did not want to be separated from her brother again.
Ji Luofei was equally reluctant, she naturally did not want to be separated from Ning Cheng either.
Ning Cheng smiled, “This time I plan to take you all with me, I still have a True Spirit World ……”
“Then will Lian Dai, Zi Yan and Li Ling Fan, Zhang Qian and the others also go together?” Ning Ruolan asked in a hurry.
Although she and Helian Dai were not sisters by blood, they were not any different from sisters by blood. If Helian Dai was left here alone, she would definitely not feel at ease. If Helian Dai was to go together, then Helian Mingqi, Li Lingfan and Lou Ziyan, Zhang Qian and the others would naturally have to go together as well. No matter who was left behind, it would not be good.
