Chapter 185 - Returning to Yuelan Sect, Mi Xingye’s Surprise

Chapter 185: Returning to Yuelan Sect, Mi Xingye’s Surprise

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Sect Master Feng, I have a question.”

Xu Ning asked, “Since you said that only a dao realm master can cross the Endless Sea Abyss, it means that the enemy from State Wansheng must be in the dao realm. But there are no dao realm masters in the seventeen states, so how can we resist them? Moreover, even if the states join forces, we are not their opponent.”

Feng Xiu did not answer directly, instead he asked, “300 years ago, before the turmoil happened in the states, there were no dao realm masters. But when State Feiyun’s previous dynasty was destroyed, many dao realm masters suddenly appeared when the beast tide occurred in State Jifeng. Do you think this is a coincidence?”

With Feng Xiu’s hint, Xu Ning realized.

“Although the seventeen states of the North Abyss are far inferior to State Wansheng, we still have the foundation of a top sect…”

Feng Xiu’s words had a deeper meaning.

“Is that so…”

When Xu Ning heard this, he thought. ‘Now that I have advanced to the true intent realm, after returning to the sect, I should have the opportunity to come into contact with the secrets of the Yuelan Sect…’

“Moreover, in addition to the fact that the top sects have their own backup plans, the dao realm masters of the Source Sect in State Wansheng will also come to help us fight against the outsiders.”

Feng Xiu said, “The only thing that is lacking right now is time. We don’t know when the outsiders will set off, but it will only take them three months to cross the Endless Sea Abyss.”

“Is that so…”

Xu Ning knew that the situation was quite urgent. “In this case, Sect Master Feng, I shall return to my sect soon.”

“Okay.”

Feng Xiu said, “Thank you.”

“Xu Ning, this is a major matter. Don’t tell anyone else besides your master, Sect Master Mi Xingye.”

Wu Lanqiong, who had not said anything, reminded.

“Understood.”

Xu Ning responded.

After the exchange, Xu Ning returned to the Wei family with a lot on his mind.

After returning to the Wei family, many big shots from Yunying City came to visit him. Seeing this, Xu Ning did not refuse and greeted them one by one.

Among them, many asked Xu Ning to refine pills.

But Xu Ning refused and told them that he was about to return to State Jifeng.

Although a lot of people were disappointed, they understood and did not insist.

Three days after the Source Sect’s conference ended, a disciple of the Source Sect came with a letter, saying that Sect Master Feng Xiu had invited Xu Ning to the sect.

Xu Ning went.

After seeing Feng Xiu, he gave Xu Ning a letter and a memory crystal, asking Xu Ning to pass it to Mi Xingye, the Sect Master of the Yuelan Sect.

The letter explained the reason for the alliance request and the memory crystal contained the evidence that Feng Xiu had to give Mi Xingye.

After Xu Ning received the letter and the memory crystal, he bid farewell to Feng Xiu.

After returning to the Wei family, Xu Ning bid farewell to Wei Xingfeng and the others, preparing to return to State Jifeng.

Before returning to State Jifeng, Xu Ning did not forget to find Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun, who had taken the Frozen Seal Pills.

Inside the room.

Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun slowly woke up.

‘We are actually still alive!’

‘That person really gave us the antidote!’

After Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun woke up from their frozen state, they felt like they had just survived a disaster.

After taking Frozen Seal Pills, their lives were no longer in their own hands.

Before entering the frozen state, they were even prepared for the worst.

They just didn’t expect Xu Ning to wake them up again.

“Since you are awake, don’t waste any more time. Come back to State Jifeng with me.”

Xu Ning’s voice came from behind the two.

The two turned around and saw Xu Ning.

“Sir.”

The two greeted Xu Ning.

“When we return to State Jifeng, I will take you back to the Yuelan Sect first.”

Xu Ning’s words made Huang Zongshao’s heart skip a beat.

The Phantom Blood Sect was the enemy of the Yuelan Sect. As the Deputy Sect Master of the Phantom Blood Sect, Huang Zongshao was really worried that he wouldn’t come out alive.

‘I have to find a way to escape…’

Huang Zongshao’s eyes darted around.

Xu Ning smiled and moved his fingertips.

Afterwards, Huang Zongshao felt his heart ache, then it became itchy, as if there were hundreds of claws scratching his heart.

Huang Zongshao’s body trembled, then his throat started to get itchy.

“Don’t play tricks, I have already given you both some Hook Heart Pills.”

Xu Ning said to the two, then moved his fingertips slightly, allowing Huang Zongshao to escape from his painful state.

“Hook Heart Pills?”

Xiang Nanchun and Huang Zongshao’s expressions changed.

A Hook Heart Pill was also a functional pill, and its raw material was the inner crystal of an insect called the Hook Heart Bug.

If the person who consumed a Hook Heart Pill didn’t take their relief pill on time, they would suffer from claws hooking at their heart.

Moreover, if someone were to sprinkle a powder that was highly stimulating to the Heart Hook Bug in them, they would also feel the same pain.

What Xu Ning had done was just to sprinkle out some of that powder and guide it into Huang Zongshao’s nose.

Xiang Nanchun and Huang Zongshao’s faces were pale.

They didn’t expect that even though they had woken up from their frozen state, their lives would still be in the hands of others.

“Let’s go.”

Xu Ning urged.

The two had no choice but to obey Xu Ning’s will.

Afterwards, Xu Ning took the two of them out of the city.

Not long after leaving the city, before Xu Ning could summon Little Gray, he heard a cry above his head.

Little Gray flew over from a distance, flapped its wings, and slowly landed.

Compared to previous time, Little Gray was not only a size bigger, but its feathers were also brighter and more lustrous.

Especially the wings that were now as sharp as knives.

There were also three black feathers on its head, like a crown.

“Little Gray, congratulations.”

Xu Ning touched Little Gray’s head.

Little Gray had advanced from the elementary void realm to the intermediate void realm.

For demon beasts, the limit of their advancement had been roughly locked from the moment they were born.

The limit of demon beasts was determined by the quality and concentration of their bloodline.

For Little Gray, its bloodline level would stabilize at the elementary level of the void realm once it matured.

However, after taking the Demon Beast Pill given to it by Xu Ning, its bloodline was stimulated again, causing its quality and concentration to improve, allowing it to break through its bloodline limit.

Little Gray knew that Xu Ning had given a huge opportunity to it, so it was friendly.

“Come, take us back to State Jifeng and return to the sect.”

Xu Ning said to Little Gray.

Hearing that, Little Gray leaned over. After letting the three of them get up on it, it spread its wings and disappeared into the sky.

…

State Jifeng.

Yuelan Sect.

“I’m back!”

Xu Ning saw the gates of the Yuelan Sect.

“Little Gray, go right in.”

Xu Ning ordered.

Little Gray accelerated and flew directly into the mountain gates.

When Little Gray approached, the two fierce dogs guarding the gates opened their eyes with a fierce look, but after sensing Xu Ning’s aura, they calmed down.

The disciples guarding the gates were so frightened that they thought an enemy had invaded.

“Little Gray, go over there.”

Xu Ning pointed in the direction of the main peak.

Whether it was Feng Xiu’s request or the Phantom Blood Sect’s Demon Blood Great Pill, Xu Ning felt that he should tell Mi Xingye about these two matters as soon as possible.

“Who came to the Sect Master Peak?”

As soon as Little Gray landed, several disciples surrounded it.

“It’s Senior Brother Xu Ning!”

Soon, the disciples recognized Xu Ning.

Although Xu Ning was an in-name disciple, he was highly valued by Sect Master Mi Xingye, so all the disciples respected him.

“Little Gray, be good and don’t move. There are many masters in the sect. If you provoke them, be careful not to get roasted.”

Xu Ning joked with Little Gray.

Little Gray was already trembling. It had already sensed a terrifying aura in the courtyard.

The owner of the aura was Sect Master Mi Xingye.

“You two wait outside the door first, come in when I call you.”

Xu Ning said to Huang Zongshao and Xiang Nanchun.

Both of their hearts were beating fast.

They all knew very well that they were about to face the head of a top sect in State Jifeng.

Especially Huang Zongshao, he was afraid that Mi Xingye would kill him because of his identity.

But they had no choice. Xu Ning had given them the order to stay, so they were forced to obey.

Xu Ning strode into the tiled room.

When he came in, Mi Xingye was already sitting down with a smile on his face. He looked at Xu Ning with eyes full of praise and surprise.

Obviously, before Xu Ning came in, Mi Xingye had already sensed Xu Ning’s arrival.

“Xu Ning greets Master.”

Xu Ning bowed respectfully to Mi Xingye.

“Xu Ning, you really gave me a big surprise!”

Mi Xingye laughed out loud. He then stood up and personally helped Xu Ning up. He patted Xu Ning’s shoulder. “I haven’t seen you for half a year, but you have advanced from the attribute realm to the true intent realm. Did you encounter some lucky encounters during your travels?”

Xu Ning could sense that Mi Xingye was sincerely happy.

“It is all due to the mystic realm.”

Xu Ning had already thought of an excuse. “I have gained a lot from the mystic realm last time, and this trip has helped me completely digest it.”

“Good!”

Mi Xingye smiled and said, “Your talent has exceeded my expectations. It seems that the dao realm is not out of reach for you.”

“You may have caught up with your Senior Brother He Mingye.”

Mi Xingye was extremely happy. “I didn’t expect my disciples to be so talented. Elder Gujuan is on par with me, but his disciples are not as good as my disciples.”

After seeing Mi Xingye so happy, Xu Ning hesitated for a moment. In the end, he didn’t say that he had killed Fang Jie.

Obviously, no one had discovered Fang Jie’s death yet.

“Xu Ning, who are the two people you brought outside?”

Mi Xingye asked.

“Huang Zongshao, the Deputy Sect Master of the Phantom Blood Sect, and the alchemist they have invited from Yanshui State, Xiang Nanchun. I captured the two of them on my travels.”

Xu Ning said.

“Oh?”

Mi Xingye raised his eyebrows. He was quite surprised, but he smiled and said, “The people from the Phantom Blood Sect have been secretly targeting our Yuelan Sect. I had already planned to capture their Sect Master Feng Changge in a few days, but I didn’t expect you to take down a general first.”

Xu Ning chimed in and said, “Master, the Sect Master of the Phantom Blood Sect, Feng Changge, seems to have been trying to refine a type of demonic pill that can allow one to advance to the dao realm.”
