Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 254: An Unexpected Candidate

In the fierce wind, a huge yellow gourd was rushing towards the south.

A layer of spiritual light shield blocked the strong wind and protected everyone inside.

Ningfa looked at the two figures in front of him.

These two people are exactly the two Jindan elders who led the Huayu Sect to participate in the Yuanling Secret Realm this time.

The deputy head of the Law Enforcement Hall, Qiu Zheng, has a dark complexion and an unattractive appearance, but a fierce aura. He is in the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

The yellow gourd under everyone's feet is his magic weapon.

This person is quite famous in the sect, and is known for being impartial, ruthless and cruel.

Although he was from the master-disciple faction, he would never show favoritism even if someone from the same master-disciple faction violated the sect's precepts.

Therefore, he is nicknamed "Black King of Hell" in the sect.

The other is the Jindan elder of the Duanmu family, Duanmu Hong, who is in the middle Jindan realm.

This person is also Duanmu Ling's uncle.

According to Ning Fa, there are currently two Jindan cultivators in the Duanmu family.

However, his status in the family faction is on par with that of the Ji family, which has three Jindan cultivators, or even higher.

Because the ancestor of the Duanmu family is one of the only two late Jindan cultivators in the family faction.

The other is the ancestor of the first family, the Ouyang family.

Of course, it was not the sect’s supreme elder, but the head of the Ouyang family.

Ning Fa couldn't help but secretly guess that perhaps the Duanmu family had specially requested this Elder Duanmu to lead the team.

This was so that after coming out of the secret realm, he would be able to receive the Yuan Qi Lotus from him as soon as possible to avoid any accidents.

Ning Fa shifted his gaze and began to observe other disciples from the same clan.

Others were also secretly looking at him, and after noticing Ningfa's gaze, they either nodded in a friendly and respectful manner, or turned their heads away in fear.

These people were able to pass the selection, so naturally they are the best among the sect’s Qi-cultivating disciples.

But when faced with Ning Fa, who has become famous this year, they subconsciously feel that they are inferior to him in strength.

During this period of time, Ning Fa stayed in Luoxing Peak.

But his name has already spread throughout the Huayu Sect.

Tens of thousands of outer and inner disciples knew Ning Fa's name.

They couldn't believe that Zhang Zhilong, who was so famous, was defeated by the unknown Ning Fa.

Especially the disciples who were watching the battle on the spot, they exaggerated the description of Ningfa's strength.

So now Ning Fa has become a celebrity in Huayu Sect.

Even many Jindan elders knew his name.

Naturally, many elders were tempted to accept Ning Fa as their disciple and let him participate in the treasure hunt in the secret realm.

However, after learning that Ning Fa had already agreed to the Duanmu family, he could only give up the idea with regret.

Ningfa couldn't help but look at someone.

This man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and his aura was as powerful as a sword. He was none other than Zhang Zhilong who had been defeated by him.

Zhang Zhilong glanced at Ning Fa coldly, snorted and turned his head away.

Ningfa was a little surprised.

I didn’t expect that the sect would let Zhang Zhilong participate in this secret realm.

For a disciple with outstanding qualifications like him, the sect would generally not allow him to participate in such dangerous and secret training.

Ning Fa didn't know that the reason why Zhang Zhilong participated in this secret realm had a lot to do with him.

Zhang Zhilong considered this defeat at the hands of Ning Fa a great humiliation.

So he regarded this trip to the secret realm as the second competition between him and Ning Fa.

That's why Zhang Zhilong insisted on participating in this secret realm, and finally got the consent of his master, Jade Dragon Zhenren.

Ningfa shrugged indifferently.

In an open fight, Zhang Zhilong was no match for him. If it was a life-and-death fight, and he used the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder or the Kuishui Yin Thunder, Zhang Zhilong would have no chance of winning at all.

He shifted his gaze and saw Cao Xian.

The man smiled and bowed to him, whispering: "Senior Brother Ning, if we meet in the secret realm, please take care of me." Ning Fa smiled at him. This Cao Xian left a good impression on him.

At this moment, he felt that someone was looking at him.

Ning Fa turned around and saw that it was Ning Daozhen who was staring at him.

Seeing Ning Fa noticed, Ning Daozhen naturally turned his head away.

Ningfa frowned and turned his head away, then walked to a corner.

Ling Yue and Li Tieniu were standing there.

"Junior Brother Ning, you have become a famous figure in our sect now."

Ling Yue joked.

"Senior Sister Ling, please stop making fun of me."

Ning Fa responded with a smile, then looked at Li Tieniu in surprise.

He was not surprised that Ling Yue passed the selection, because he had long noticed that Ling Yue had hidden her true strength.

But he was very surprised that Li Tieniu passed the selection.

After all, Li Tieniu had only recently advanced to the late stage of Qi training, and he did not have any special magical powers, and the skills he practiced were only good at defense.

Li Tieniu's face turned slightly red. Ling Yue smiled and explained the reason to Ning Fa in a low voice.

After listening to this, Ning Fa couldn't help but feel incredible. This Li Tieniu really was blessed.

In the previous Yunlan Academy selection competition, Li Tieniu unexpectedly defeated two opponents in succession and entered the third round.

But this is his limit.

His third round opponent was none other than Senior Brother Pang, whom Ning Fa had met when he first arrived. This man had seen that Ning Fa was very powerful, and wanted to invite Ning Fa to go together to kill the black scorpion and complete the mission.

This person's strength is among the best in the entire Yunlan Academy, far from comparable to Li Tieniu.

The result was naturally one-sided, and Li Tieniu was suppressed.

But Li Tieniu was very resilient and fought to the death.

Even after being beaten unconscious, he never admitted defeat.

This competition happened to be seen by Qiu Zheng who was passing by. Qiu Zheng was the deputy head of the Law Enforcement Hall who led the team this time.

It seemed that Li Tieniu's tenacity was appreciated by him, and he actually accepted Li Tieniu as his registered disciple.

And he was specially granted a place to enter the secret realm.

This naturally surprised many disciples of the sect, and many of the disciples who failed to be selected were extremely envious and jealous of Li Tieniu.

But no one dared to question the choice of the Black King of Hell.

But while Ning Fa was surprised, he also felt that this might not be a good thing for Li Tieniu.

Because the Yuanling Secret Realm is too dangerous, Li Tieniu would be in great danger if he entered it with his strength.

But Li Tieniu has amazing perseverance, and seems to be blessed with good fortune. Perhaps he has some special luck in the secret realm.

At this time, everyone was flying towards the Yunhuang Lake.

The magic weapon of the Jindan cultivator is so fast that it can travel a hundred feet in an instant.

In less than a day, they had flown tens of thousands of miles and entered the deeper parts of the Yunhuang Swamp.

After entering here, the speed of the gourd magic weapon suddenly decreased.

The expressions of the two Jindan elders became much more serious.

I saw that the sky was noticeably darker, and some surprising visions began to appear.

For example, within a radius of dozens of miles, completely different weather phenomena such as ice, snow, rain, and clear weather appeared at the same time.

They are close to each other, yet clearly separated.

There are also colorful clouds like hills, emitting a refreshing fragrance that makes people drowsy.

The shadow of the huge skull, which was over a thousand feet tall, made everyone change color.

There was a magnificent fairy palace hidden in the clouds, surrounded by fairies and exotic beasts. It was a fairyland scene, which attracted exclamations from many disciples.

However, the two Jindan elders left quickly as if they had seen a snake or scorpion.

After three days of careful travel, everyone finally arrived at the place where the Yuanling Secret Realm was opened.
