Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 924 The army is coming
Ning Fa's eyes instantly sharpened as he stared intently at Fairy Liyue.

The woman said frankly, "I met Fellow Daoist Tianyou about thirty years ago."

At that time, she seemed to have completely lost her self-awareness, and I realized that she must have become a puppet of the Yuancha Sect.

This "Kuai Ning" technique may not be known to fellow Daoist, but it is actually a very strange method used by the Yuan Cha Sect.

It's not just about turning others into puppets; it also involves modifying the puppets' bodies to allow them to cultivate the special secret techniques of the Yuancha Sect, thus increasing their strength several times over.

Furthermore, the conditions for becoming a puppet are extremely demanding. I had long felt that Fellow Daoist Tianyou perfectly met the conditions for Yuancha Sect to select puppets, and I never expected that it would turn out to be true.

When I saw her again later, she had indeed become a puppet, and her strength was even greater than that of an ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

“Shaku…?” Ning Fa’s expression changed upon hearing this.

At this moment, Fairy Liyue sighed.

"In fact, the matter of the puppet is very secretive. The reason I know about it is because of my aunt."

She was originally a Nascent Soul cultivator within the Demonic Alliance, and was once chosen by the Yuancha Sect, ultimately becoming their puppet.

However, my aunt was lucky. She noticed something was wrong when the symptoms were still mild, so she cleverly escaped.

For the next few centuries, she struggled against the mysterious power within her.

My aunt is a very powerful array master. Based on her own physical condition, she constantly studies and improves some arrays to suppress her physical symptoms.

More than four hundred years passed in this way, and she finally managed to completely suppress the power of the puppet within her body. However, by then she had exhausted her vital energy and passed away several decades later.

However, she also left behind her complete methods for fighting the puppet, including those special restrictive formations, which are now with me.

Therefore, if Fellow Daoist Ning can bring Fellow Daoist Tianyou here, and with your help, there should still be a good chance of rescuing her from her puppet state.

Ning Fa was immediately moved, not expecting such a thing to happen.

Without much hesitation, he said in a deep voice, "Alright, as long as what Fellow Daoist Liyue said is true, then our previous grudges will be wiped clean."

But your purpose in coming to see me isn't simply to resolve our grievances, is it?

Upon seeing Ning Fa relent, Li Yue immediately showed joy.

She nodded and said, "That's right. I'm sure Brother Ning already knows about my affair with Pei Nanshu, right?"

Due to some special circumstances, I greatly helped that old thief cultivate a certain technique, so he will not give up on me. I'm just afraid that after some more time, even Fellow Daoist Kongli will not be able to suppress him.

Now that Fellow Daoist Ning also has a deep grudge against this old thief, I hope to receive Fellow Daoist Ning's protection.

Ning Fa smiled slightly and said calmly, "Don't worry, Pei Nanshu will soon be in trouble herself, so she probably won't be able to cause you any trouble."

Hearing Ning Fa's calm yet domineering words, Fairy Liyue felt greatly relieved. Her originally fierce and powerful face became delicate and beautiful, and she said softly, "Fellow Daoist Ning, please have some tea."

……

Three days later, in a pavilion atop Huangdang Mountain, a flash of silver light revealed Ning Fa's figure.

He let out a soft sigh of relief, his eyes showing a relaxed expression.

Just now, the disciples of Huayu Sect have left Huangdang Mountain.

In this way, he would have no worries about the battle, and he was confident that he would be able to escape even if he were surrounded by a large army.

He looked around the room and first set up a set of defensive barriers that he carried with him.

Then, through telepathic communication, I observed Xiao Bing's condition and found that it was still asleep and I didn't know when it would wake up.

However, Ning Fa could clearly feel that its aura was getting stronger and stronger. Ning Fa nodded to himself, and then had another thought.

A flash of fire revealed a firebird with black and white wings. Its wings trembled slightly, and its eyes were bright and intelligent.

Ningfa looked at it with satisfaction in his eyes.

At this point, the Flaming Firebird was no ordinary creature, after all, it was being nurtured by the already formed nascent forms of Solar Essence Fire and Lunar True Fire within its body.

After so much time, with his help, the Flame Bird finally fully absorbed the spiritual essence of the Solar Essence Fire. Both its spiritual essence and power increased greatly, and it was finally able to completely control the Solar Essence Fire.

At this moment, Ningfa wanted to use the essence of the sun to try to open up the Thunder Sea Divine Treasury of the Fire God Thunder.

Ning Fa took a deep breath, then raised his right hand. With a "whoosh," a ball of purple lightning floated out, radiating an aura of extreme yang and strength—it was the Supreme Fire Divine Lightning.

Immediately afterwards, the Firebird let out a clear cry, opened its mouth and spat out a small wisp of white flame, which disappeared into the ball of purple lightning.

In an instant, the ball of purple lightning suddenly expanded and contracted, as if it was about to explode. Ning Fa immediately formed hand seals, his eyes filled with solemnity.

After a while, the ball of purple lightning finally stabilized, and Ning Fa swallowed it without hesitation.

Soon, Ning Fa's face contorted in pain and ferocity, and purple lightning and white spiritual flames erupted from his body, his aura becoming extremely violent. At the same time, his heart area was also covered by a layer of purple lightning and white flames.

After a full half-day, the purple lightning and white flame finally entered the heart, and mysterious lightning patterns immediately flashed on its surface.

At this moment, Ning Fa was covered in sweat and his face was pale, but he let out a long sigh of relief.

He shook his head and gave a bitter smile.

It seems that even with the essence of the sun, it will not be easy to fully open up the Thunder Sea Treasury of the Fire God Thunder.

Ning Fa pondered for a moment. He couldn't fully utilize the Solar Essence Fire to open up his own Thunder Sea Divine Treasury yet, because he still needed to use the Primordial Realm Pearl.

Moreover, once the essence of the sun's fire is completely extracted, the power of the Flame Bird will be greatly reduced.

However, as long as he continues to cultivate the Five Extremes True Flame Technique, it can serve as nourishment for the Solar Essence Fire to continue to grow stronger, or for him to absorb other high-level spiritual flames.

Ning Fa did not absorb the solar essence fire again to continue cultivating, because his heart needed some time to digest the results of his previous cultivation.

After Ningfa sat cross-legged in meditation for several hours, his spiritual consciousness and magical power recovered to most of their original state.

He flipped his right hand and took out another white, round bead with countless sword shadows flashing on its surface—it was the Sword Soul Bead.

Ning Fa breathed a sigh of relief and focused his consciousness into it.

Several hours later, Ningfa opened his eyes again.

Although the light in his eyes had dimmed somewhat, his face showed joy.

He spent several more hours carefully reflecting on his gains before taking out another jade slip.

Among them was the Nascent Soul cultivation method recorded in the Ancient Origin Thunder Scripture, which he studied with great concentration.

Thus, in the calm before the great battle, Ning Fa also wasted no time cultivating.

More than ten days passed, and on this day, Ningfa suddenly opened his eyes in the quiet room.

He then grabbed with his right hand, and a flame appeared in front of him. The anxious voice of Fairy Biwu came from it: "Fellow Daoist Ning, please come quickly! The enemy army has arrived!"

Ning Fa breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and then disappeared in a flash of silver light.

Before long, thousands of cultivators from Huangdang Mountain, led by more than ten Nascent Soul cultivators, took to the air.

They stopped some distance from the protective array of Huangdang Mountain, all looking solemnly ahead.

Looking into the distance, one could see a vast expanse of dark clouds rapidly approaching.

Upon closer inspection, these dark clouds revealed strangely shaped black spirit ships, each with the head of an unknown ferocious beast hanging from its bow.

Each spirit ship was packed with Tianli cultivators, their imposing presence giving the Huangdangshan people a sense of impending doom.

The dozen or so Nascent Soul cultivators at the front also looked quite grim.

Ding Yanbo from the Heavenly Alliance sighed and said, "It seems that the news about that treasure has been leaked. Otherwise, Tianli wouldn't have mobilized so many troops to our side."

Everyone looked worried. Elder Xu Jinghe of the Heyi Sect stroked his long beard and said anxiously, "I wonder if a powerful cultivator will come from the other side. If it really is..."

Upon hearing this, many people secretly glanced at Ning Fa. Seeing that Ning Fa remained calm and composed, their tense feelings inexplicably eased.

At this moment, Fairy Biwu's eyes flashed, and she said in a deep voice, "Everyone doesn't need to worry too much. After all, Huangdang Mountain has now switched to the ancient defensive formation that I brought—the Dutian Zhenyuan Formation. Even if the enemy's strength is much greater than ours, we should be able to hold out for a while. Moreover, our reinforcements are on their way."

As everyone looked at the white light curtain that enveloped the entire Huangdang Mountain and felt the powerful spiritual pressure emanating from it, they relaxed slightly.

Before long, the Tianli army finally closed in.

They stopped several hundred feet away, and then a dense swarm of Tianli cultivators flew out from the spirit ships. Led by many high-level cultivators, they all looked in this direction with sinister eyes.

At the very front were many Tianli cultivators, their bodies radiating extremely powerful spiritual pressure; they were all Nascent Soul cultivators.

The cultivators on Huangdang Mountain immediately paled, for the force of the attack was far beyond their expectations.

There were at least twenty Nascent Soul cultivators, and eight of them were at least at the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

Especially the two at the very front were the gaunt old man named Tumen and the black-robed cultivator Yougu from the mysterious Rakshasa Immortal Cultivation World, both exuding an invincible and overwhelming aura.

The people of Huangdang Mountain couldn't help but gasp in shock. Tianfu Zhenjun exclaimed, "Two great cultivators have actually arrived on the other side!"

This made even Fairy Biwu's expression turn extremely ugly.

She gripped her long sleeves tightly, staring intently at the black-robed cultivator, her delicate brows furrowed as she asked, "Who is that great cultivator? Why does he seem so unfamiliar? Could it be that a great cultivator from Tianli's rear has been transferred here?"
