“JI and, I’m going back to the Xuan Yue Divine Gate, why don’t you come with me to the Xuan Yue Divine Gate and ……”
Ning Cheng interrupted Qi XIII Xing, “I will go to Tian Su Sacred City, you go back first. One month later, if you are free you can come to Tian Su Sacred City to see my competition, if not, I will come to Xuan Yue Divine Sect to look for you.”
Ning Cheng knew the meaning of Qi XIII Xing’s words, the scolding he had just given was painful. But it also revealed something, the previous JI He was afraid that even if he was scolded by Guo Hao Ge pointing his nose at him, he could only hold his tongue. And now he not only scolded back, but almost scolded Guo Hao Ge to the point of vomiting blood.
Ordinary people might have thought that JI He’s character had changed a bit after being trapped in the Tai Su secret realm for so many years. If one had a heart, one would probably have thought a little more.
If he was really JI He and was insulted like that by Guo Hao Ge, I am afraid that even if he was more stoic, his daoist heart would be in trouble.
However, Ning Cheng was not JI He, JI He was capable of being human, he could not tolerate it. What’s more, since he had escaped this calamity with the help of the dead JI He’s identity, he should help JI He take out some anger.
Qi Thirteen Stars wanted him to go to the Xuan Yue Divine Gate because he did not want anything unexpected to happen.
Qi Thirteen Stars had not returned for such a long time, and Ning Cheng knew that he would still have a lot of things to do when he returned. Besides, there was still a month to go before the Great Tai Su Competition. Taking advantage of this month, he might as well stay in the Heavenly Su Sacred City and rest.
“Alright then, I will rush to Tian Su Sacred City to converge with you as soon as possible.” Seeing that Ning Cheng had already made up his mind, Qi XIII Xing had no choice but to agree.
Tian Su Holy City was the number one Holy City in the Tai Su Domain, no one dared to do anything here, even if they were sneaking around. Ning Cheng was in the Tiansu Holy City. There shouldn’t be any danger. Qi Thirteen Stars was also very relieved.
……
After separating from Qi Thirteen Stars. Ning Cheng however found that the cultivator who had the Flame Hive was long gone, he should have left. Ning Cheng was not in a hurry, there were not many people who demanded the Golden Flame Hive, as there were restrictions on the use of this item. The previous cultivator was also ranked in the top ten for divine Spirit Grass, he would definitely go to Tian Su Holy City, he only had to go to Tian Su Holy City to find this person. The only worry was the fear that the other party would use the Golden Flame Hive for something else.
Ning Cheng didn’t stay here any longer and rushed to Tian Su Holy City by using his flying magic treasure. He had rushed to the Tian Su Holy City alone. It was also to test whether he would be seen to be wrong by Barbarian Huishan. If Barbarian Huishan really came after him, he would immediately inspire the boundary breaking talisman to leave the place. Facing a Dao Yuan powerhouse, he was in no position to resist.
To Ning Cheng’s relief, not only did Barbarian Huishan not come after him, but even Guo Hao Ge did not come after him either.
A few days later, Ning Cheng arrived at Tian Su Holy City without any problems.
After entering the Tai Su Realm, this was the first time Ning Cheng had seen such a lively place. Even the Tai Su Market Square was not as lively as the Tian Su Holy City. Before he even entered the city gates, the outskirts of the Holy City were densely packed with incoming and outgoing cultivators.
The Tiansu Holy City was like a suspended city, surrounded by floating clouds below. There was no trace of a protective formation around the entire edge of the Holy City.
Ning Cheng knew that these floating clouds and the hazy edges of the city. They were all protected by top-notch formations. The reason that no traces could be seen was because his formation dao level was not good enough.
Landing dozens of miles outside of the Tian Su Holy City, Ning Cheng put away his flying magic treasure. Outside of the Tian Su Holy City, there were no air ban restrictions. In a place where there was no air ban, Ning Cheng did not see a single person flying. As a small middle Eternal Realm practitioner, he naturally did not dare to act rashly, so he honestly put away his flying magic treasure and, like the rest of the cultivators on the White Jade Road, entered the Tian Su Holy City on foot.
The closer he got to Tian Su Holy City, the more Ning Cheng could feel the dense divine Spirit Qi. Ning Cheng sighed in his heart, if he could live in such a holy city for a long time, he was afraid that he would be able to cultivate with half the effort. He guessed that it should not be a simple matter to live in such a Holy City.
An incense stick later, Ning Cheng stood at the entrance of the Tian Su Holy City, and above the gate were four large words floating in the void, Tian Su Holy City.
For the entry fee, Ning Cheng paid a hundred upper grade divine crystals, which was the most expensive entry fee Ning Cheng had ever seen.
Before Ning Cheng came, he was worried that he wouldn’t be able to find a place to stay, after all, he had experienced this kind of thing too many times. Every time a big event was held, the Rest Inn was the most tight.
After entering Tian Su Sacred City and turning around for a while, Ning Cheng knew that his fears were true. At this time in Tian Su Sacred City, not to mention the rest houses to stay in, even the rest buildings and restaurants were all overcrowded.
Inside the Holy City, it was extremely wide, and every street seemed to be a square that stretched past, but even if it was wide, one could not sleep and meditate on it.
With Ning Cheng’s cultivation level, even if he wandered around the streets for a month, he would have no problem. The Great Tai Su Competition was coming up and he was going to participate in the competition, so naturally he had to find a place to rest, and there was no way he could wander around here for a month.
“Brother JI He, why are you here? You’re not ……” an incredibly surprised voice rang out as a female cultivator quickly appeared in front of Ning Cheng. However, this female cultivator’s surprise was only a sound for that moment, after that, she seemed to feel a bit abrupt and even lowered her head.
This female cultivator was dressed in a grey robe, with a fair complexion and thick eyebrows, but a hint of gloom was wrapped around her brows. The whole person looked, too, somewhat tired. The appearance could only be described as fairly eye-pleasing, nowhere near as pretty as Cen Caixuan. His cultivation level was not high either, only at the early stage of Eternity.
These were secondary, mainly Ning Cheng did not know this female cultivator. At the thought that this scene was likely to be seen by others, Ning Cheng’s heart suddenly became anxious. It would not be a good thing if someone saw JI and met an acquaintance and did not recognize them.
Ning Cheng hurriedly smiled slightly, “It’s been a long time, let’s find a place to have a cup of spiritual tea.”
Seeing Ning Cheng’s polite attitude and not appearing to be very close, the female cultivator’s eyes paled for a moment and she nodded, “Hmm, just go to the Lanze Rest House in front, the spirit tea there is very good.”
“Good.” After Ning Cheng followed the female cultivator and quickly turned into a rest house on the side of the street, he was slightly relieved. Since he was an acquaintance of JI He, he would take his time to explain.
After the two entered the rest house, the rest house was indeed overcrowded. Not to mention the private rooms, there were even very few tables on the lobby.
“JI and big brother, let’s sit over there.” The female cultivator pointed to an empty seat at a corner of the hall.
Ning Cheng bit his head as he led the female cultivator to find the fellow of the Rest House. He directly grabbed out a storage bag and placed it in the fellow’s hand. “My friend and I have some urgent business. Need a private room ……”
The fellow’s divine sense swept over the storage bag Ning Cheng had given him, and with a twist of his hand, the storage bag disappeared without a trace, before he said with a smile on his face, “Two of you please follow me.”
After Ning Cheng and the female cultivator were led into one of the elegant compartments by the fellow, Ning Cheng secretly sighed in his heart, “This compartment is really just like that ditch, there is always something to squeeze in. It looks like I will have to use this method to find a room at the rest house later. We have to use this method of squeezing as well.”
After the mate left, Ning Cheng hit the ban and before he could speak, he heard the female cultivator say coldly, “You are not JI He, who the hell are you and why are you impersonating JI He?”
Ning Cheng was startled, he hadn’t had any problems impersonating JI He until now. Could it be that this female cultivator was JI He’s woman and he had accidentally revealed his footprints? In this instant, Ning Cheng even thought of extinguishing his mouth.
This thought disappeared in a flash. He had used JI He’s identity to escape, and if he had to silence the people JI He knew. This was simply worse than being an animal. Not to mention exterminating people in Tian Su Holy City? Did he still want to live himself?
Ning Cheng hurriedly told all about him and Qi Thirteen Stars, as well as JI He. He had posed as JI He only to escape.
After hearing Ning Cheng’s words, the female cultivator sighed quietly, a trace of sadness appearing in her eyes, “Something has really happened to big brother JI He.”
After saying that, she stood up and turned back to Ning Cheng, “You don’t have to worry, I won’t tell about it.”
Ning Cheng was really a little worried that this female cultivator would speak out about this matter, and hearing this, he had no choice but to say, “This senior sister, I see that you seem to have something going on. Although JI He and I have never met, he is a friend of Thirteen Stars and I am also a friend of Thirteen Stars. Now I am even going to use his identity, so if you don’t mind, you can tell me about your trouble and maybe I can help some.”
When the female cultivator heard Ning Cheng’s words, she hesitated for a long time before she didn’t know what came to mind and said with a faint glint in her eyes, “Then I’ll tell you.”
After saying that, she once again sat down.
……
An hour later, Ning Cheng finally understood what was going on. This female cultivator was called Xin Xiu and was JI He’s senior sister, and JI He also had a senior brother called Wu Qihong. All three of them had a master named Di Shui Bo, who was a rank six Dan King.
Among the three, JI He’s alchemy talent was the strongest. Once, Di Shui Bo found a hidden divine spirit herb medicinal garden. He brought three of his disciples into the divine spirit grass herb garden, but he did not expect to be discovered by others. While fighting over the Divine Spirit Grass, Di Shui Bo and the other cultivator who grabbed it died together.
Before he died, Di Shui Bo gave his ring and all the divine spirit herbs to JI and he asked JI to continue teaching and bringing up his junior disciple. The divine spirit herbs in the ring were to be shared equally between the three siblings, in a bid to achieve a Dan Emperor or even a Dan God as soon as possible.
However, he did not expect that JI He would not listen to his master at all, but left his senior brother and sister alone with the large amount of divine spirit herbs in the ring. Later, after Xin Xiu heard the news of JI He, JI He was already a rank eight Dan Emperor of the Tai Su Domain Dan Association.
After JI He left, Wu Qihong and Xinxiu slowly came together and were considered to be dependent on each other. This time, when Wu Qihong was seriously injured, Xinxiu had come here to help Wu Qihong seek for a Dan. She had inquired about JI He and knew that JI He was a Dan Emperor of the Dan Association and had also fallen in the Tai Su Secret Realm.
Even though JI He had swallowed the Divine Spirit Grass and left the division back then, this time when she saw JI He by chance, Xin Xiu still hoped that JI He would help save Wu Qihong, which led to the scene that started.
When Ning Cheng heard this, he was a little dumbfounded. It was true that there was a dark side to every person’s heart, if he hadn’t come across Xin Xiu, how could he have thought that the meek and stoic JI He was so selfish? From Xin Xiu’s mouth, he even heard Xin Xiu’s secret love for his eldest brother JI He. It was only when JI He walked away with the Divine Spirit Grass that she went off with her youngest senior brother.
Seeing Ning Cheng dazed, Xin Xiu said in a sultry voice, “Actually, back then, neither Senior Brother Qi Hong nor I ever blamed JI He for Big Brother ……”
Ning Cheng stood up, “Senior sister Xinxiu, I am also an alchemist, if you don’t mind, just call me senior brother. Let’s go, I will go with you to check on Senior Brother Qi Hong’s injuries.”
