I regret my rudeness and my contempt for others.

Sensing something, Ning Yue raised an eyebrow, took a half step back, and waved to the elder in charge.

"See you tomorrow."

Liu Tianqiu seemed to realize something as well, and looked at the quiet horizon not far away.

He nodded slightly to Ning Yue: "...See you tomorrow."

He spoke softly, and Ning Yue didn't notice him as she left, so she didn't respond.

Liu Tianqiu remained expressionless, not finding anything wrong with the other party ignoring him, and turned to leave.

Yu Chuan, standing next to him, looked incredulous, as if he had never met Ning Yue before.

Just who is Ningning?!

He easily defeated him, gave him a lot of pointers, and casually refined a Heaven-grade pill, yet he didn't take it seriously.

Even Liu Tianqiu, one of the top geniuses in the cultivation world, took the initiative to greet him!

He wasn't even angry when he didn't get a response!

Yu Chuan suspected that he might have met an incredibly important person!

But he wondered why Ningning was in such a hurry to leave. She waved her hand, and then her figure disappeared completely.

He soon found out the reason.

With the competition over, the sect leaders were finally able to leave their seats.

No sooner had Ning Yue left than Qi Bei, the sect leader of the Purgatory Sect, arrived.

His expression was serious, and he said in a calm voice, "I heard that another alchemist has refined a Heaven-grade pill. Where is he?"

The elder in charge was surprised by Qi Bei's sudden appearance and paused for a while before answering.

"Sect Leader Qi, your timing is unfortunate; that person just left."

"Gone?" Qi Bei immediately frowned.

They actually sensed my presence so early?

He let out a deep breath, looked at the curious people around him, and left with a flick of his sleeve.

"Inform me when you have any news; the Purgatory Sect is interested in hiring this alchemist."

The others watched Qi Bei's departing figure, completely bewildered.

Is it really necessary to be so fierce and menacing when hiring someone...?

……

Qi Bei's heart was beating a little fast, and his eyes darkened, as if he was thinking about something.

He was almost certain that the so-called Ningning was Ning Yue herself.

When she first mentioned wanting to replace the alchemy furnace, Qi Bei had already made up his mind.

When she successfully refined the Heaven-grade pill and attracted the lightning tribulation, she was even more certain that this person was Ning Yue from back then.

I felt both fear and resentment.

They've been gone for so many years, why are they back now?

Why can't they just honestly disappear from the cultivation world completely?

He remembered Ning Yue's terrifying skills and abilities; Ning Yue had already left a deep impression on him when he was still young.

Five years have passed now, and who knows how much stronger the other side has become.

Moreover, Ning Yue wasn't the only one who disappeared back then.

All the direct disciples of the Fusang Sect have disappeared together!

When they all come back together, he'll be incredibly busy!

We must find Ning Yue as soon as possible and subdue her!

Otherwise, you will find yourself in a passive position.

Qi Bei made up his mind with a dark expression.

Suddenly, a disciple of the Purgatory Sect, looking hurried and anxious, ran up to Qi Bei.

Qi Bei immediately had a bad feeling. He asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

The disciple hesitated for a moment, then, under Qi Bei's terrifyingly cold gaze, spoke in a trembling voice.

"The Purgatory Sect was struck by lightning, which hit the library, and many important secret manuals inside were reduced to ashes."

Qi Bei gasped sharply, almost fainting.

"Sect Master—!" The disciple rushed over to help Qi Bei up. "Are you alright?"

Qi Bei stood there, took a few deep breaths, and recovered his strength, clenching his fists tighter and tighter.

Isn't this the same situation as back then?

Just as Ning Yue successfully refined a Heaven-grade pill, their Purgatory Sect's library was struck by lightning.

He didn't initially suspect Ning Yue.

But this time it's the same situation as that year!

Countless secret manuals and treasure troves have been destroyed! No one could do something like this without a deep grudge!

He absolutely refused to believe that it had nothing to do with Ning Yue!

Although he didn't know what the connection was between the two, he immediately focused on Ning Yue.

Regardless of the circumstances, just blame Ning Yue.

But to be fair, his strangeness wasn't entirely wrong.

But... why is Ning Yue able to activate the heavenly lightning?

This was also something Qi Bei didn't understand.

He had specifically inspected the library last time and confirmed that it was not man-made, but undoubtedly struck by lightning.

But this time it's the same situation, which is a bit strange.

They deliberately sent heavenly lightning to strike the library, wasn't that just to destroy the foundation of their Purgatory Sect?

But if Ning Yue could really control the heavenly lightning, why did she only strike twice?

The power of heavenly lightning is terrifying and immense for cultivators.

A single blow could severely injure a cultivator.

Qi Bei clenched his fist, his eyes gleaming with excitement—

This shows that Ning Yue couldn't actually use Heavenly Thunder; he just used some underhanded methods!

And there are definitely limitations!

Given Ning Yue's hatred for the Purgatory Sect, if he had the ability to use heavenly lightning, he would definitely continue to strike the Purgatory Sect over the next five years.

But they were not attacked at all in the past five years!

What does this mean? It means that Ning Yue's restriction on using Heavenly Thunder is very likely that he can only use it once every five years!

The anger from having the library smashed dissipated a little.

Without the help of heavenly lightning, you'll definitely get what's coming to you!

The disciple watched as Qi Bei's expression changed repeatedly, sometimes contorted and sometimes joyful, and was somewhat unsure what the sect leader meant.

Qi Bei casually waved his hand, signaling his disciple to leave.

He unleashed his divine sense and carefully surveyed the entire trial grounds, intending to locate Ning Yue.

There isn't one?

Qi Bei frowned. As expected, it wasn't so easy to find. His divine sense had even extended outside the trial grounds.

Ning Yue's whereabouts have still not been found.

We can only give up for now and wait for Ning Yue to appear again.

……

Ning Yue sensed the chilling aura emanating from the probe and let out a cold laugh.

She was currently within Qi Bei's detection range, but he was completely unable to detect her presence.

Because what she learned in the consciousness space were all extremely rare and secret techniques.

Ning Yue has now reached the Integration Stage, so concealing his aura is still quite simple for him.

Even Qi Bei, who was also a Nascent Soul cultivator, couldn't find her.

The second day was the talisman competition.

Qi Bei didn't even cultivate all night, just waiting for Ning Yue to appear.

Ning Yue did not participate in the talisman trial last time on the Heavenly Ranking, and Qi Bei was not sure if she would come to today's trial.

After waiting for a moment, the scene of the trial field was displayed on the surrounding mirror stones.

Ningning was among them!

Unfortunately, he couldn't leave his seat, so he could only stare at the figure with excited malice, never looking away for a moment.

As soon as the competition ended, he rushed towards the training ground, releasing his restraints in an attempt to capture Ning Yue.

Upon arriving at the training ground, Ningning was nowhere to be found; only the elder in charge spoke.

Ningning tops the list of talismans.
