The four Nascent Soul Cultivators, Xu Jinghe, Yun Jing, Miaoyin, and Tianfu, were all stunned. They looked at Ning Fa in disbelief.
They truly hadn't expected Ning Fa to actually make a move and kill the Wu Family ancestor!
This was a Nascent Soul Cultivator. Ning Fa's recklessness was simply terrifying to them.
At this moment, as the last few screams echoed, the Wu Family members who were in the Core Formation Stage were also successively killed by the Blue Lightning.
Blue watery light flashed continuously, and the Blue Lightning flew to Ning Fa's side. It provocatively looked at the four Nascent Soul Cultivators opposite them, its small face full of eagerness to try.
Connected to Ning Fa's mind, it could naturally feel Ning Fa's anger, which also caused its killing intent to surge.
At this moment, Ning Fa beckoned with his right hand, collected the Wu Family ancestor's Storage Ring into his hand in front of them, and then looked at the old man in gray clothes, saying indifferently, "Sorry, my hand slipped."
Miaoyin, Yun Jing, and Tianfu immediately wore strange expressions.
Xu Jinghe, on the other hand, was furious. He pointed at Ning Fa but was speechless for a moment.
"Hahaha, boy, you did a great job! You really suit my taste! This is how decisiveness should be. Who cares about anything else? If they provoke you, then you should go on a killing spree!
If you need to deal with that Pei Family Ancestor or True Lord Yu Chan in the future, I can expend some soul power to help you out a bit!"
Ning Fa's ears were filled with Baili Ming's laughter. It was clear that he highly approved of Ning Fa killing the Wu Family ancestor without regard for his advice.
Just then, another sound of breaking wind echoed. It turned out that Ouyang Zhenhua and the other Core Formation Elders of the Huayu Sect had also arrived.
They had also witnessed Ning Fa killing the Wu Family ancestor's Nascent Soul in the end. While they were shocked in their hearts, their faces showed expressions of joy.
This undoubtedly demonstrated Ning Fa's astonishing strength.
Although the Wu Family ancestor was not outstanding among the current Nascent Soul Cultivators, he was, after all, a genuine Nascent Soul Cultivator.
Being so easily killed by Ning Fa was enough to show that Ning Fa's current strength was unfathomable.
"Ah! Fellow Daoist Wu!" At this moment, another cry of grief echoed.
Following the sound of fierce breaking wind, a beam of light flew over and revealed a middle-aged man dressed in a Daoist robe and wearing a feather crown. He was crying out in grief and then glared at Ning Fa with a furious expression.
Ning Fa coldly looked at him, "What, you want to stand up for him?"
Immediately, intense silver lightning flashed on Ning Fa's body, and a terrifying spiritual pressure, as if it could destroy the world, erupted from him.
At the same time, oppressive rumbling thunder sounded. The wind and clouds in the sky changed color, dark clouds gathered, and thick bolts of lightning churned within them as if boiling.
All the Nascent Soul Cultivators present had a drastic change in expression.
At this moment, they felt as if a giant mountain was pressing down on their heads, and they even felt an insurmountable sense of powerlessness.
They looked at Ning Fa with expressions of horror.
Only then did they realize that Ning Fa had not even used his full strength when he made his move just now.
And Ning Fa, bathed in fierce lightning under the dark clouds, was like a god of thunder. He roared in a booming voice, "If you're not convinced, then make a move!"
The cultivator with the feather crown turned pale, cold sweat pouring down his back.
He was bearing the heaviest pressure. At this moment, he had completely sobered up.
Feeling the increasingly terrifying pressure being exerted upon him, and seeing the dark clouds above his head growing thicker, with terrifying lightning brewing intensely, this person was instantly filled with fear. He gritted his teeth and said:
"Fellow Daoist Ning, I apologize! He, He, was just momentarily agitated and lost his reason. Fellow Daoist Wu's fate is entirely his own fault. Fellow Daoist Ning killed him well!"
Ning Fa gave him a cold glance, making this person have the urge to turn and flee immediately.
Finally, Ning Fa let out a cold snort, and the aura on his body slowly receded. The heavy dark clouds in the sky also gradually dispersed.
The cultivator with the feather crown felt as if he had received a great pardon. He let out a long sigh of relief in his heart and looked at Ning Fa with horrified eyes.
The other Nascent Soul Cultivators were all the same.
At this moment, they were all guessing Ning Fa's true strength, because even a Mid Nascent Soul Cultivator would find it difficult to possess such terrifying might.
Only then did Ning Fa feel that the anger in his heart had slightly subsided.
Then Ning Fa looked at Fairy Miaoyin and True Lord Yun Jing and said in a gentle tone, "Fellow Daoist Yun Jing, Fellow Daoist Miaoyin, Fellow Daoist Tianfu, it has been a long time."
Miaoyin, Yun Jing, and Tianfu finally came back to their senses and responded politely.
Fairy Miaoyin, who was as beautiful as a heavenly flower, opened her rosy lips and sighed, "Fellow Daoist Ning, you truly have deep fortune. Not only did you not perish, but you have now returned after forming your Nascent Soul, and your strength is so astonishing. It is truly a cause for celebration."
True Lord Yun Jing also nodded and said, "Indeed, Fellow Daoist Ning, your return is precisely at the right time. With your potential, you have made Cangyuan even stronger with another great general."
The old Nascent Soul cultivator, Xu Jinghe, took a deep breath, and the anger in his heart completely dissipated.
No matter what, the Wu Family ancestor was already dead. There was no need to make an enemy of Ning Fa because of him.
Especially since the strength Ning Fa had shown now was truly astonishing.
He said solemnly, "Fellow Daoist Ning, your arrival is opportune. The Tianli army has now mobilized, and the situation at several front-line strongholds is critical.
The Elder Council is mobilizing forces to support these strongholds. We request Fellow Daoist Ning's assistance."
After speaking, he added, "Fellow Daoist Cang Lei and some disciples from your sect are currently at one of the front-line strongholds."
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zhenhua and the other Core Formation Elders' expressions changed, and their eyes showed anxiety.
Ning Fa's sword-like eyebrows raised, and then he calmly said, "You all go ahead. I will head to Tianyu City in half an hour."
Ning Fa had originally planned to go directly to the Tianyang Sect next, and then find that Pei Family Ancestor Pei Nanshu and True Lord Yu Chan to settle accounts with them.
However, now that True Lord Cang Lei and a group of Huayu Sect disciples were trapped on the front lines, a rescue was naturally in order.
After all, besides Cang Lei, Ouyang Qinghe, Fairy Bai Feng, Duanmu Ling, Zheng Xuanyan, and others were also among them.
Xu Jinghe nodded and said, "Alright, we'll head there first then."
Immediately after, Fairy Miaoyin, True Lord Yun Jing, and the others cupped their fists towards Ning Fa and flew away as streaks of light.
The many members of the Ning Family looked at Ning Fa in the sky, their eyes filled with fervent admiration.
Someone started the chant, and soon, cheers that soared into the clouds erupted:
"Old Ancestor is mighty!"
Ning Fa looked at the Ning Family members before him, unable to contain his surging emotions. He flew forward and shared deep embraces with Ning Zhongyuan, Ning Zhongjiu, Ning Hongye, Ning Zonglie, Ning Zifeng, and others.
Then, he approached Ning Shaohong and Wei Shiqin, who were both in tears and gazing at him with deep affection.
Decades had passed, but the two women's appearances had not aged a bit, as Ning Fa had refined Youthful Appearance Pills for them back then.
Ning Shaohong was still as pure, beautiful, elegant, and charming as ever. She had now reached the False Core stage and was capable of attempting Core Formation.
Wei Shiqin, dressed in a blue dress, was still as delicate and beautiful as a flower. She was at the late Foundation Establishment stage.
"Xiao Fa, you're finally back."
Ning Shaohong gently caressed Ning Fa's face with her right hand. Looking at the face that had appeared in her dreams countless times, tears streamed down her face. She then threw herself into Ning Fa's embrace and wept uncontrollably.
Ning Fa's eyes also turned red. He gently pulled Wei Shiqin into his arms and patted both women's backs.
"I'm sorry, I'm back too late."
The two women simply held his waist tightly, unable to speak for a moment.
Not far away, Cheng Ziyi watched with a relieved expression, though a hint of complexity flickered in her eyes.
After a long while, Ning Shaohong and Wei Shiqin's emotions finally subsided slightly. They shyly pulled away from Ning Fa's embrace.
Ning Fa then slowly surveyed everyone again.
Besides the Core Formation Elders Ning Zhongyuan and Ning Zhongjiu, as well as Foundation Establishment Elders Ning Shaohong, Ning Hongye, Ning Zonglie, and Ning Zifeng, there were also five other Foundation Establishment cultivators. These individuals looked at Ning Fa with adoration and fervor.
Ning Fa recognized some of them, but the others were unfamiliar, clearly new Foundation Establishment members of the Ning Family who had advanced in the past few decades.
One person was an exception. Ning Fa looked at a handsome young man dressed in black and nodded, "Ruofu, it's been a long time. You've also advanced to the Mid Foundation Establishment stage. Not bad."
This young man was Meng Ruofu, Meng Ruoqi's younger brother.
Meng Ruofu looked at Ning Fa with great excitement and shouted, "Brother-in-law!"
Ning Fa smiled and ruffled his head, then looked at the other newly advanced Ning Family Foundation Establishment members.
At this moment, Ning Zhongyuan also came over and introduced them one by one: "Xiao Fa, this is Zi Rui, this is Yan Kuan..."
Ning Fa patted the shoulders of these Ning Family members, who were all extremely excited.
Suddenly, Ning Fa asked, "What happened with Huarong? Why do I see on the Star Ranking that she's already a member of the Yuan Cha Gate?"
Ning Shaohong said softly, "Xiao Fa, don't blame Huarong. She joined the Yuan Cha Gate for the sake of the family.
Although we don't know the exact reason, shortly after you disappeared, the Yuan Cha Gate intended to annihilate our Ning Family.
Huarong sold herself to the Yuan Cha Gate as a price to make them stop."
Ning Fa was stunned upon hearing this and finally understood the reason.
His anger flared up again. The Yuan Cha Gate had actually intended to annihilate the Ning Family and had even forced Ning Huarong to sell herself.
When he had the time, he would definitely seek out the Yuan Cha Gate and settle all their old and new scores!
Ning Fa took a deep breath and said to Ning Zhongyuan, "Did this Wu Family Ancestor coming here have a reason that isn't so simple?"
Ning Zhongyuan hesitated for a moment before nodding. "It should be. This Wu Family Ancestor has been causing trouble for our Ning Family for a long time.
The surface reason for him attacking us this time is that his grandson was killed by our Ning Family members. The initial cause was that Wu Haoming massacred over a dozen of our family members, so Zi Rui killed him.
But in reality, he should be trying to curry favor with True Lord Baidan, or even..."
At this point, Ning Zhongyuan suddenly stopped speaking, his face showing hesitation.
