Ning Fa narrowed his eyes and continued, "Could it even be that Pei Family Ancestor, or True Lord Yu Chan?"
Ning Zhongyuan gave a wry smile and then nodded.
Ning Fa let out a cold laugh, his eyes flashing with a chilling light.
At this moment, Ning Zhongyuan quickly said, "Little Fa, you must calm down. Regardless of whether it's the Pei Family Ancestor or True Lord Yu Chan, they are both Great Cultivators."
Ning Fa held up a hand to stop him, his expression calm. "Don't worry, First Elder. I know what I'm doing. I'm heading to the front lines to provide support immediately. We can discuss anything else when I return.
In the meantime, please list all the forces and individuals who have caused trouble for our Ning Family over the past fifty years. Don't be afraid of causing me trouble; remember not to miss a single one!"
Ning Fa emphasized his last sentence with a stronger tone.
Ning Zhongyuan hesitated for a moment before nodding heavily.
Ning Fa smiled, then looked at the people before him. With just a brief glance, he noticed that everyone was carrying injuries, some more severe than others.
He immediately flicked his sleeve, and in a burst of light, over a dozen bottles of pills flew out, emitting an extremely pure medicinal fragrance.
Just by inhaling it, everyone felt their spirits greatly boosted. These were clearly top-grade healing pills.
"First Elder, please distribute these healing pills."
Ning Fa said in a deep voice. Then, as if remembering something, he moved his mind.
In another burst of light, more than ten magic treasures and magic tools appeared, flashing with various colors of treasure light. A brief sensing revealed them to be absolute top-quality items among magic treasures and tools of the same grade.
"Please distribute these treasures as well," Ning Fa said. Then he flew to Ouyang Zhenhua and the other Core Formation Elders of the Huayu Sect and also produced a batch of third-grade healing pills and several magic treasures.
Over the years he had spent in the Nine Dragons Sea, he had indeed killed many Golden Core and even Nascent Soul cultivators.
His current wealth was so substantial that even ordinary Great Cultivators could not compare. He possessed many treasures of various kinds.
He had also prepared some special gifts for close individuals like Cheng Susu, Ning Shaohong, and Wei Shiqin, but it wasn't convenient to bring them out now.
Ouyang Zhenhua and the others hesitated for a moment before finally accepting the pills and treasures.
Then Ning Fa solemnly said to Ouyang Zhenhua, "Senior Brother Ouyang, you also need to list all the forces and individuals who have troubled our Huayu Sect during this period. Not a single one should be missed."
Ouyang Zhenhua immediately nodded, then gave a wry smile. "Uncle-Master, please just call me Junior Nephew from now on. The title 'Senior Brother' truly humbles this Junior Nephew."
Ning Fa smiled and then walked up to Cheng Susu, gently stroking her pretty face with his right hand. "Susu, I have to go out again. I'll definitely be back soon. Please take good care of my disciple, Wen Hui."
Cheng Susu gently hugged Ning Fa and said softly, "Don't worry, husband. I will definitely take good care of Xiao Hui."
Ning Fa nodded, then suddenly asked, "Oh, right, what about my other disciple, Ruohong? How is she now?"
Wen Hui was not Ning Fa's first direct disciple. His first disciple was Liu Ruohong, whom he had taken before heading to Ancient Immortal Island. Because she possessed the nascent form of a Sword Spiritual Root, Ning Fa valued her greatly.
Hearing this, Cheng Susu showed a hesitant expression.
Ning Fa's face immediately darkened.
Could Liu Ruohong have also perished?
But he hadn't seen Liu Ruohong's name on the casualty list Ouyang Zhenhua had given him earlier.
At this moment, Cheng Susu quickly said, "Husband, you don't need to worry. Ruohong is fine. She successfully achieved Foundation Establishment a long time ago, and several years ago, she even broke through to the Mid Foundation Establishment realm.
Her sword techniques and divine abilities are also extremely exquisite, and her strength is even greater than that of ordinary Late Foundation Establishment cultivators.
She is currently on campaign with the Ancestor and the others. You should be able to see her when you go this time."
Ning Fa's expression then softened. He couldn't help but wonder, "Then why did you hesitate just now, Susu?"
Cheng Susu gave a wry smile. "It's because after Ruohong displayed her astonishing sword dao talent, she attracted the attention of that Sword Lord, Xu Yi.
He personally came to our sect wanting to take Ruohong as his disciple, but Ruohong refused with all her might. It was eventually dropped.
However, it seems that Sword Lord's interest hasn't waned. Over the years, elders from the Heaven Sword Sect have often come to persuade us."
But Cheng Susu quickly added, "Husband, please don't act rashly. Sword Lord didn't force Ruohong, nor did he threaten our sect because of it."
Ning Fa's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this, then his expression returned to normal.
He hugged Cheng Susu deeply again, glanced at everyone else, and then a powerful escape light erupted from him as he flew towards the east.
Lan Dian also waved goodbye to everyone and followed closely.
Not long after, Ning Fa, with Lan Dian, passed through the transmission array in the Yunxi Mountain Range and was teleported back to Tianyu City.
As soon as he arrived at the Transmission Hall, Ning Fa saw someone waiting for him.
"Fellow Daoist Ning, you've arrived," said True Lord Yun Jing, dressed in a white robe with a clear and handsome face, smiling at him.
He then cast a peculiar glance at Lan Dian, naturally recognizing Lan Dian as a shapeshifted spiritual beast.
Moreover, judging from the divine abilities Lan Dian displayed when killing those Wu Family Golden Core cultivators earlier, she was likely no ordinary shapeshifted spiritual beast.
Seeing her now appearing as Ning Fa's spiritual pet made True Lord Yun Jing feel that Ning Fa was even more unfathomable.
Ning Fa responded politely. Based on his previous conversations with Ouyang Zhenhua and the others, individuals like True Lord Yun Jing, Miao Yin, and Tian Fu were quite decent.
They hadn't kicked the Huayu Sect while it was down under the pressure of those two Great Cultivators. Instead, they had often offered assistance. He would definitely repay them for their help once he returned.
"Fellow Daoist Ning, the situation on the front lines is urgent. We are preparing to lead a team to provide reinforcements. Come, I'll take you to meet Fellow Daoist Biwu first," True Lord Yun Jing said with a solemn expression.
Ning Fa nodded and immediately followed True Lord Yun Jing.
At this point, Ning Fa casually asked, "Fellow Daoist Yun Jing, which Great Cultivators are currently in the city?"
True Lord Yun Jing was startled at first, then reacted, a wry smile appearing on his face.
He naturally knew who Ning Fa was referring to. He pondered for a moment and said, "Normally, Tianyu City has at least two Great Cultivators stationed here, but right now, there shouldn't be any.
It seems the Spiritual Pivot Pavilion has summoned several Great Cultivators for some important matter."
Ning Fa's expression shifted. What True Lord Yun Jing said was consistent with Mu Nianfeng of the Ice Spirit Palace.
He didn't ask any further questions. In any case, he had to rescue Cang Lei and the disciples of his sect first, and then he would settle the score properly.
The first one he intended to find was the Tianyang Sect. This time, no one could stop him from killing True Lord Baidan; he didn't even plan to spare True Lord Tianyang.
Although Ouyang Zhenhua and the others hadn't provided many details, it was clear that True Lord Tianyang, whether for Baidan or to curry favor with those two Great Cultivators, seemed to spare no effort in attacking the Huayu Sect and the Ning Family.
Before long, the three arrived at another large hall nearby.
There were already quite a few people inside. Upon seeing the two enter, everyone immediately looked over, their gazes fixing on Ning Fa. All of them wore expressions of varying degrees.
Ning Fa looked over and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
There were over thirty cultivators in the hall, including quite a few Nascent Soul Cultivators. Besides Miao Yin, Tian Fu, and Xu Jinghe, whom he had just met, there were four other Nascent Soul Cultivators.
One of them was a woman in a fiery red hunting outfit, looking heroic and spirited. She was Xiao Yusheng of the He Yi Gate, who had been ranked highly on the Star Ranking. She had even challenged Ning Fa back then because he was ranked above her.
Another was a young cultivator in light armor, with a tall and straight posture and a bright, handsome face, wearing a warm smile.
Ning Fa had seen this person from afar when the Ancient Immortal Island opened. He was Zhao Jian, the leading figure of the younger generation of the Divine Heart Sect, and a master who had once ranked in the top ten of the Star Ranking.
Another was a man in his thirties, dressed in black tight-fitting clothes, exuding a sharp Sword Intent, with narrow, elongated eyes. Ning Fa recognized this person.
He was Huo Chen, the Sword Elder of the Jade Sword Sect, a sword cultivator sect from Liang Kingdom.
This person had been a suitor to Gu Mengqiu, the granddaughter of True Lord Yun Jing. Ning Fa had even had a small confrontation with him previously over the Thousand-Year Thunder Wood.
All three of them had now successfully reached the Nascent Soul stage.
The last person was a middle-aged man in a coarse cloth gown, with unusually large hands and feet, and a shrewd expression. This person was at the Mid Nascent Soul stage, and Ning Fa did not recognize him.
The four of them looked at Ning Fa with shock and disbelief, especially Zhao Jian, Xiao Yusheng, and Huo Chen.
After all, they were contemporaries of Ning Fa, and had all been on the Star Ranking. Ning Fa's exaggerated past achievements had made them look up to him.
They had originally thought Ning Fa had already perished, but unexpectedly, he had returned like a king.
Furthermore, they had just heard that Ning Fa had actually killed the Wu Family Ancestor, who was also a Nascent Soul Cultivator, on the spot in such a short time, not even allowing his Nascent Soul to escape. This had further shocked them.
Although they believed their strength was incomparable to ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators, even Zhao Jian, the most powerful among them, couldn't guarantee he could kill a Nascent Soul Cultivator of the same cultivation level.
Therefore, hearing this news had truly shocked them.
"Fellow Daoist Ning, congratulations on your safe return."
Zhao Jian recovered from his shock and said to Ning Fa with a smile.
Xiao Yusheng and Huo Chen also reacted and greeted him. Even Huo Chen, who had a minor past grievance with Ning Fa, was very polite.
Ning Fa responded to each of them. The man in the long gown also politely said, "Fellow Daoist Ning, I am Ding Yanbo of the Tianming Sect."
"Fellow Daoist Ding." Ning Fa cupped his fists in greeting.
The other Core Formation Cultivators also secretly observed Ning Fa with curiosity.
Just then, a gust of fragrant wind blew, and everyone turned to look.
A woman in a colorful dress, her face veiled by a faint misty haze, glided forward. Her figure was curvaceous, and she moved with a graceful, lotus-like gait.
This woman was Fairy Biwu, the First Elder of the He Yi Gate, one of the three great sects of Cang Yuan.
"Fellow Daoist Ning, it's been a long time. It's wonderful that you've returned after reaching the Nascent Soul stage."
The woman immediately looked at Ning Fa and said in a slightly magnetic, pleasant voice.
Ning Fa looked at the woman with a calm expression and said, "I don't think it's particularly wonderful. Fortunately, I didn't return too late this time, otherwise, my sect and family might not have existed."
As soon as Ning Fa spoke, the entire hall fell silent.
Everyone had different expressions. They clearly understood what Ning Fa meant, as his dissatisfaction and resentment were evident to anyone.
