Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 990 Return
Ten days later.

From an inconspicuous mountain peak in central Xu State, several streaks of light flew out, revealing Ning Fa and his companions.

After checking their surroundings, the group finally confirmed that they had returned to the Xu Kingdom, which made them breathe a sigh of relief.

Tianli's operation behind enemy lines has finally returned safely, and the operation was extremely successful.

Thinking of the great merit he was about to gain, Xiao Pengyuan stroked his long beard and smiled broadly.

Ning Fa casually released a cyan flying boat and said with a faint smile, "Let's go back to Tianyu City first."

Then a streak of blue light sped northward at an astonishing speed.

In the middle of the day, a magnificent city came into view on the horizon.

One can see that the area around this city is filled with interconnected, shimmering protective barriers, and one can feel an astonishing pressure from a great distance.

But for Ningfa and his group, there were naturally no obstacles.

After passing through several layers of restrictions, the group finally arrived at the city wall of Tianyu City. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at Ning Fa.

Ning Fa laughed and said, "Alright, now that we've arrived at Tianyu City, let's part ways here. Xinlan and Junior Nephew Ji, you two should return to your sect first."

Xiao Pengyuan immediately smiled and cupped his hands to Ning Fa, saying, "This time, we are very grateful for Fellow Daoist Ning's great abilities. Otherwise, we would not have been able to complete the mission so smoothly. I will take my leave now."

After saying this, the man strode to the right, and a group of guards who were rushing towards them left the area at his command.

Xia Xinlan and Ji Qingqing also glanced at Ning Fa before heading in another direction.

Ning Fa looked at Sang Wen and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Sang, I need to go see Fellow Daoist Xu Yuan first. I'll trouble you to keep an eye on them for me. Oh, and by the way, could you also help me find Fairy Zhaoming?"

The woman looked at him, gave a soft "hmm," and then walked to the other side. Bai Yueqiu, Tianyou, and Wen Xiuxin followed suit, drawn by her.

At this moment, Ji Lianxing, with her peach blossom eyes sparkling, stepped forward and naturally took Ning Fa's right hand, pressing her ample bosom against his arm.

The woman smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Sang looks like someone who diligently cultivates the Dao, which must be quite boring. But I am different; I will definitely make Brother Ning so happy that he will forget his homeland."

Ning Fa looked at her speechlessly, then said calmly, "Don't worry, since I said I would protect you, I will naturally do so. There's no need to resort to such methods."

Ji Lianxing's charming expression faltered for a moment, then she tightened her grip on Ning Fa's arm, saying sweetly, "Brother Ning, I'm truly sincere. I really want to become your concubine. Please accept me."

Looking at that charming and alluring face that could captivate all beings, Ning Fa knew that saying more would be of no use. This woman clearly believed that only by taking her in could he truly put her mind at ease.

He said nothing more, pulled his arm away, but then, as if possessed, he pinched that wave.

Ji Lianxing let out a soft, charming cry, whether intentionally or unintentionally, her voice alluring as she gazed at Ning Fa with seductive eyes.

But Ning Fa had already transformed into a streak of silver light and disappeared in a flash.

Ji Lianxing looked in the direction he disappeared, her gentle expression vanishing, and she muttered softly, "I refuse to believe I can't win you over."

Before long, Ning Fa had arrived at the spiritual mountain behind Tianyu City.

It's still that same bamboo forest.

A figure in long sleeves and wide robes stood quietly at the edge of the bamboo forest. Although his face was calm, there seemed to be a trace of worry in his eyes.

Hearing the sound of wind breaking behind him, Master Xuyuan slowly turned around and saw Ning Fa with a calm expression. A smile appeared on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Ning, on behalf of Cang Yuan, I would like to thank you for your meritorious service in infiltrating Tianli's rear this time."

If Tianli were to actually forge a replica of that Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, then Cangyuan would truly be in danger.

Ning Fa smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Xu Yuan, you don't need to be so polite. I have also benefited greatly from this trip."

After they finished speaking, the two fell silent for a moment.

Ning Fa's gaze shifted, and he smiled, "Fellow Daoist Xu Yuan, aren't you going to ask about Pei Nanshu and the others?"

Upon hearing this, Master Xuyuan looked at the distant sea of ​​clouds and sighed, "I never imagined that the three of them would be so ruthless as to collude with the Tianli people in order to deal with Fellow Daoist Ning."

Therefore, they had no one to blame but themselves for dying at Fellow Daoist Ning's hands, but..."

At this point, Master Xuyuan couldn't help but sigh again.

Although he didn't say anything more, his meaning was already quite clear.

Although these three deserved to die, the absence of these three great cultivators naturally greatly weakened the high-level forces of Cangyuan.

Cangyuan was already weak, and it also had to face attacks from both the Tianli and Haizu fronts. Losing three great cultivators had a significant impact.

After learning what had happened, Master Xuyuan had very mixed feelings.

However, from Ning Fa's perspective, his actions were understandable.

After all, if others are willing to kill you regardless of the bigger picture, why should you spare their lives for the sake of the bigger picture?

If it were Xu Yuan Jushi himself, he might have done so. But given Ning Fa's character, he clearly wouldn't.

Fortunately, Ning Fa and his group not only successfully broke the restrictions on the Wanling Mountains, but also disrupted the forging of the replica of the Heavenly Treasure, which greatly comforted him.

Ning Fa's lips curled up as he continued, "Then, Fellow Daoist Xu Yuan, do you—blame me?"

Upon hearing this, Master Xuyuan gave a wry smile, then said solemnly:
“Everyone’s path of cultivation is different. If we release the three of them, it will make it difficult for Fellow Daoist Ning to express his thoughts and hinder your path of cultivation. It would be better if the three of them died.”

After saying that, he looked at Ning Fa, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and asked, "Fellow Daoist Ning, did you really kill all three of them by yourself?"

This is what shocked Master Xuyuan greatly, because defeating and killing are two completely different things.

He asked himself if he were in Huangfu Hong's shoes, he might be able to easily defeat the combined forces of the three.

If we use all our means, we should be able to kill one of them.

But he knew he couldn't possibly kill all three of them without them escaping.

But Ning Fa actually did it, which was what he found unbelievable.

"I lured them to a dangerous place with a trick, and with the help of some restrictions, I was able to kill the three of them."

Ning Fa gave a brief explanation, clearly not intending to go into detail about the process.

Master Xuyuan suddenly understood, and he found this explanation to be very reasonable.

Then, with a slightly solemn expression, he said, "Although the three of them are dead, the forces behind them are quite powerful, so we still need to do a good job of handling the aftermath."

Especially from the Wushi Demon Palace, Fellow Daoist Mo's strength is not far from that of me.

But this time, it was Fellow Daoist Shen and his group who first plotted against you, especially after Fellow Daoist Ning displayed such strength. I think Fellow Daoist Mo shouldn't act impulsively.

Ning Fa listened without changing his expression.

Mo Qianqiu of the Wushi Demon Palace is probably the strongest in Cangyuan besides Xuyuan Jushi, but at most he is a high-level cultivator.

Now that he had mastered the Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation Sword Formation, he believed his strength had reached the level of a high-ranking cultivator, so he was not afraid of Mo Qianqiu's revenge.

If this person dares to cause him trouble, he will not be polite, but if Mo Qianqiu knows what's good for him, Ning Fa will not go looking for trouble with the Wushi Demon Palace again.

Xu Yuan Jushi then said, "Besides the Wushi Demon Palace, there is also the Yuancha Sect."

Now that Fellow Daoist Huangfu is dead, the Yuancha Sect is leaderless.

However, I suggest that Fellow Daoist Ning refrain from launching a large-scale purge of the Yuancha Sect in the future.

Ning Fa frowned upon hearing this, puzzled, and asked, "Why is that?"

Master Xuyuan gave a wry smile: "Fellow Daoist Ning, don't forget that the main sect of the Yuancha Sect is in the Great Qin."

The reinforcements we requested from Daqin this time should also include people from the Yuancha Sect.

Fellow Daoist Ning killed Huangfu Hong, which was at least for a reason. However, if we were to pursue the matter further against the Yuancha Sect, I fear that the Yuancha Sect's main branch in the Great Qin Dynasty would not let it go easily.

Ning Fa's eyes flashed upon hearing this.

This is indeed a problem, and it's not that he hasn't considered it.

However, he would not let Shen Xinlan and Huangfu Hong go just because of this.

After all, given the grudges between the two sides, even if he didn't kill them, would Huangfu Hong and Shen Xinlan let him go once the Great Qin Wushi Demon Palace and the Yuancha Sect sent people here?
Could they persuade members of their own sect to cause trouble for them?

Moreover, Ningfa believed that the reinforcements coming from that side could not be Nascent Soul cultivators, so he had nothing to fear.

His current strength is already comparable to that of a high-level cultivator. Once he advances to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, his strength will definitely double again, and he should be able to reach the level of a top-tier cultivator.

Even if they face a Nascent Soul cultivator, they might be far from being able to fight them, but they should still have a good chance of surviving.

After all, putting aside everything else, his Chaos Divine Lightning should pose a very high threat to Nascent Soul cultivators.

However, what Layman Xuyuan said also makes sense. There is no need to further purge the entire Yuancha Sect and increase the risk of falling out with the main sect of the Great Qin Yuancha Sect.

Ning Fa nodded and said, "Okay, no problem. But Ning Huarong is from my clan, and I need to rescue her."

Seeing that Ning Fa did not object, Layman Xuyuan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "Fellow Daoist Ning, rest assured, I will handle this matter. In the end, it will be the Pei family's turn..."

Ning Fa interrupted, his eyes flashing with a cold light, "When I fought with Pei Nanshu before, he threatened to wipe out my entire clan, so I absolutely cannot let the Pei family live."

After speaking, Ningfa stared intently at Layman Xuyuan.

After all, Pei Nanshu's precious grandson, Pei Ruiqing, was in the Ling Shu Pavilion and was a core disciple. He could be said to be the root of the conflict between the two sides.

Now that Ning Fa has such a deep grudge against the Pei family, he naturally cannot allow this threat to continue to grow.
