Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 923 Liyue's Sincerity

Upon hearing this, Ning Daozhen seemed to come back to his senses, but resolutely refused, saying, "Forget it, that person cultivates the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder, and my supernatural powers can be said to be mostly restrained by him, so I will go to Fallen Soul Mountain according to the original plan."

"What? Evil-repelling divine thunder?" Before the withered old man could react, the black-robed cultivator's expression changed again, and he exclaimed in disbelief.

A fleeting look of joy crossed his eyes, and he immediately turned to the withered old man, saying, "Fellow Daoist Tumen, don't forget what you just said."

"You can share that kid's soul cultivation technique, but everything else he has, including that evil-repelling divine thunder item, must be given to me."

Clearly, this person believed that Ning Fa must possess something similar to the Ten-Thousand-Year Golden Thunder Bamboo, which was why he was able to release the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder.

The gaunt old man frowned slightly, for he was also extremely interested in the warding-off-evil divine thunder.

However, seeing the black-robed cultivator whose eyes were growing increasingly cold, he hesitated for a moment, but still nodded in agreement. After all, he would have to rely heavily on these Rakshasa cultivators in the future battles.

Ning Daozhen, standing to the side, looked at the two of them with a mocking glint in his eyes.

……

Meanwhile, in a pavilion somewhere atop Huangdang Mountain.

Ning Fa sat by the bed, quietly looking at Ouyang Qinghe, who was already asleep but still had tear stains on her face, and a look of pity flashed in his eyes.

Ouyang Qinghe's background is quite pitiful. Her father, Donghua Zhenjun, is dead, her mother, Tianyou Zhenjun, is now missing, and her longtime companion, Mei Sangu, has also perished. She herself has become her only support.

Thinking of this, Ning Fa couldn't help but think of Tian You again.

He secretly resolved that once the battle subsided slightly, he would find out exactly what was going on with Tianyou.

He believed that with his current supernatural abilities, he still had a chance to rescue Tianyou from that out-of-control state.

Then Ningfa left and flew eastward.

As per his previous agreement with Fairy Biwu, the sect disciples could secretly return to the sect three days later. Ning Fa had already informed Cang Lei, who was naturally overjoyed.

Soon after, Ningfa entered another pavilion.

There were two people waiting for him in the living room.

One of the beautiful women, dressed in a moon-white long dress and with an ethereal beauty, was naturally Duanmu Ling.

She looked at Ning Fa with gentle eyes and then smiled softly, "Brother Ning, you've arrived."

Ning Fa's face immediately lit up with a smile. He was quite satisfied with Duanmu Ling's way of addressing him. If she had called him "Shishu" (a term of respect for a senior female disciple), it would have been too formal.

Ning Fachong nodded, then looked at another person.

This was a very burly man with a shaved head, and even a conspicuous blood scorpion tattoo on his bald head.

This person was none other than Feng Jue, a loyal follower of Duanmu Ling.

He looked much older now, with many wrinkles on his face, and a complex look flashed in his eyes as he looked at Ning Fa.

After all, when he and Duanmu Ling first met Ning Fa, Ning Fa was just a minor cultivator in the Qi Refining stage.

He never imagined that a hundred years had passed and he was still stuck in the Foundation Establishment stage, while Ning Fa had already become a Nascent Soul cultivator, which made him feel a sense of disorientation.

He then bowed respectfully and said, "Disciple Feng Jue greets Grandmaster Uncle."

Ning Fan looked at him and frowned, saying, "Brother Feng, with your talent and the dual cultivation of body and magic, why haven't you been able to break through to the Core Formation realm after so many years?"

Ning Fa's address sent a surge of warmth through Feng Jue's heart. He then gave a bitter smile and said, "I suffered a hidden injury during the war between the sect and the Wanhua Sect. Later, my attempt to break through to the Core Formation stage aggravated the injury. After two consecutive failures, my hope was already very slim, and I had no choice but to give up on this idea."

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Ling's eyes also showed a hint of sadness. She looked at Ning Fa, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopped herself.

At this moment, Ning Fa suddenly turned his right hand and took out a light blue pill bottle. Then, a white pill the size of a longan was poured out of the bottle, emitting an extremely vibrant spiritual energy. What was particularly special was that there was a naturally formed Dao mark on the surface of the pill.

"This is... Spring Blossom Pill, and it's even a Spring Blossom Pill with a single pattern!" Duanmu Ling exclaimed in shock.

Ning Fa nodded, then looked at Feng Jue and said, "Brother Feng, this Spring Blossom Pill with one pattern should be able to completely resolve the hidden injuries on your body."

"I observe that the energy and blood within your body haven't declined too much; you should still have a chance to attempt to break through to the Core Formation stage again."

Feng Jue couldn't help but show excitement, even trembling slightly, but then a look of hesitation flashed across his face, because this pill was too precious for him to take.

At this moment, Duanmu Ling looked at Ning Fa with gratitude, and then said to Feng Jue, "This is Brother Ning's kind gesture, please take it. You can repay Brother Ning after you reach the Core Formation stage."

Upon hearing this, Feng Jue finally accepted the pill and immediately bowed deeply to Ning Fa.

His tiger-like eyes reddened as he said, "Thank you so much for your great kindness, Grandmaster Uncle. I will never forget it. I will do my utmost to serve you in the future!"

Ning Fa accepted it calmly. He greatly admired Feng Jue and always considered him a friend, so naturally he didn't want to see him pass away at the Foundation Establishment stage.

They then sealed it off, leaving the place to Ning Fa and Duanmu Ling.

Seeing Duanmu Ling looking at him intently with eyes as clear as autumn water, he took a few steps forward, gently embraced him, then restrained himself and left, softly saying, "Brother Ning, thank you."

Ning Fa looked at her, a bitter smile in his eyes. Duanmu Ling's actions clearly showed that her feelings hadn't changed; she still only wanted to be his confidante.

At this moment, a sly glint appeared in Duanmu Ling's eyes, and she said playfully, "Brother Ning, you're still so greedy. You already have so many Daoist partners, yet you still won't let me go..."

Isn't this pretty good enough for us? I'll be perfectly content if you come visit me whenever you have free time.

Ning Fa couldn't help but smile knowingly upon hearing this. Duanmu Ling's cunning and playful demeanor reminded him of the past.

At this moment, Ning Fa seemed to have thought of something and asked with some surprise, "Why didn't I see Duanmu Hong or Duanmu Pojun this time?"

Ning Fa remembered that their names were not on the previous list of those who had perished; instead, it was Duanmu Qi, the eldest elder of the Duanmu family, who had fallen.

Duanmu Ling was also taken aback, then smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that the others in the sect have not yet had time to tell Brother Ning about this. More than 20 years ago, Second Uncle left the sect with Duanmu Pojun and some members of the Duanmu family. Now he has joined the Flying Star Sect, and Second Uncle has also become a Daoist partner with a female elder of the Flying Star Sect."

After speaking, Duanmu Ling looked at Ning Fa with a hint of trepidation.

The cultivator Ningfa was taken aback, then suddenly realized why.

Clearly, the Duanmu family saw that the sect was in a bad situation, especially since it was being targeted by two powerful cultivators, so they wanted to put their eggs in two baskets.

Elder Duanmu Qi stayed in the sect with some of his clansmen, while Duanmu Hong led the rest of his clansmen to join another sect.

At this moment, Ning Fa noticed that Duanmu Ling's eyes were full of tension and even worry, clearly she was afraid that Ning Fa would settle scores with her later.

If Ning Fa really launches an attack, even the Flying Star Sect won't be able to stop him.

Ning Fa shook his head at him: "Don't overthink it, I didn't mean that, but leaving the sect is fine, but it's impossible to come back later."

Duanmu Ling first gave a wry smile, then said with gratitude, "Thank you, Brother Ning."

Ning Fa looked at her, fully aware of what was going on.

It's likely that when the Duanmu family made their internal decision, they wanted Duanmu Ling to go to the Flying Star Sect with them, leaving only the elderly Duanmu Qi behind, but Duanmu Ling probably refused.

This is also a key reason why Ningfa decided not to pursue the matter.

Moreover, regardless of the circumstances, Duanmu Qi and a large number of his family members also died fighting for their sect.

Then, the two chatted for a long time, reminiscing about many things from the past.

Ning Fa was particularly moved by the memories of when he had just established his foundation and followed Duanmu Ling to explore the Yunhuang Great Swamp.

Several hours later, Ning Fa finally left.

But instead of returning to his residence, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he flew off in another direction.

In the vast sea of ​​clouds ahead, there was a prominent black cliff, on which a woman was sitting at a stone table, intently preparing tea.

The woman was dressed in a palace dress, with exquisite and bright features, and cold, fierce phoenix eyes. She looked very powerful and was none other than Fairy Liyue.

Ning Fafei flew to the other side of the stone table, sat down calmly, and then looked at Fairy Liyue who was meticulously preparing tea. He said indifferently, "I wonder what brings Fellow Daoist Liyue to meet with me alone?"

When Ning Fa and Fairy Biwu had just returned from that deep ravine, this woman asked to meet Ning Fa. Ning Fa had a pretty good idea of ​​what she was thinking.

Li Yue gently pushed a cup of fragrant spiritual tea toward Ning Fa: "Fellow Daoist Ning, why don't you try this Pine Mist Tea first?"

This is made from the needles of a thousand-year-old fourth-order pine tree, combined with the primordial liquid of ice and fire from the first level of the Primordial Heaven. Even for us Nascent Soul cultivators, it is of great benefit.

However, Ning Fa looked at this extremely precious spiritual tea but showed no intention of drinking it.

He said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Liyue, you might as well speak frankly. I don't like to keep people in suspense."

Fairy Liyue couldn't help but sigh: "It's only natural that Fellow Daoist Ning has grievances against me."

However, the past cannot be undone, and I believe that there is no deep-seated hatred between our two sects, nor is the hatred irreconcilable.

Therefore, today I hope to reconcile with Fellow Daoist Ning and turn hostility into friendship.

After speaking, the woman took out a storage ring and placed it on the table, saying, "This is my sincerity, and I hope Fellow Daoist Ning will take a look."

Ning Fa scanned the area with his divine sense and was immediately moved.

This storage ring didn't contain many spirit stones; instead, it contained numerous extremely precious spiritual items, at least 40% of which were fourth-tier spiritual items. Even he couldn't help but be tempted by them.

Ning Fa couldn't help but look at Li Yue in surprise. This woman's sincerity seemed a bit too much, which made Ning Fa feel that something was not right.

He immediately thought of Pei Nanshu, the patriarch of the Pei family, and secretly thought that it was probably related to this.

At this moment, Li Yue took a deep breath and said again, "In addition to this, I am willing to offer another item as a token of my sincerity."

That's about Fellow Daoist Tianyou.

I am confident that I can remove her from her uncontrolled state and restore her to normal.
