At this moment, Ning Fa looked at Shi Shaoyang expressionlessly again.
The latter was first filled with terror, then roared ferociously, "Ning Fa, even if I..."
But before he could finish speaking, Ning Fa grabbed the void, directly choking his neck and lifting him up.
As Ning Fa gradually tightened his grip, Shi Shaoyang's terrified and ferocious expression gradually solidified.
With a crisp "crack," his neck was directly snapped by Ning Fa. Then, with a flash of silver lightning in Ning Fa's hand, Shi Shaoyang vanished into nothingness amidst the thunder.
Ning Fa then looked at Meng Ruoqi and smiled, "Ruoqi, you won't have to worry about this person anymore."
Meng Ruoqi's expression was complicated. She walked up to Ning Fa and gently linked her arm with his.
Then, Ning Fa directly handed the two storage rings to Meng Ruoqi and said with a smile, "Ruoqi, I'll give these two sets of resources to you."
Meng Ruoqi was surprised and was about to refuse, but Ning Fa smiled and waved away her rejection.
Ning Fa then looked at the Black Clothed Cultivator and said faintly, "Fellow Daoist Yu Chan, have you forgotten something? What about the compensation for our Huayu Sect and the Ning Family?"
Upon hearing this, the Black Robe Cultivator immediately took out a communication magic tool that looked like a black jade plate.
Its spiritual light flashed, and after a short while, the person said in a deep voice, "I will send another two sets of resources in a few days, which will be no less than today's resources, compensating your sect and the Ning Family respectively."
"That's more like it," Ning Fa snorted lightly.
The Black Robe Cultivator also breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his fist at Ning Fa, and left the main hall.
Not far away, True Lord Cang Lei gave Ning Fa a thumbs-up and then asked, "Junior Brother Ning, that Nanheng Mountain Range..."
Ning Fa smiled, "I don't think much of the mere Nanheng Mountain Range. I have found another excellent place for the sect and our Ning Family."
Then, Ning Fa explained the situation in Xuguo.
Cang Lei was greatly shocked after listening, then laughed heartily, "Junior Brother Ning, as expected of you. This Xuguo is truly excellent.
Since that's the case, I will give the order for the sect to prepare as soon as possible."
Then Cang Lei excitedly walked away.
Ning Fa did not immediately return to the family to notify them of this matter. Instead, he first sent out a sound transmission talisman and then flew towards the outside of the hall.
Not long after, at the edge of a cliff shrouded in misty clouds, Ning Fa met Zheng Xuanyan.
Ning Fa sized him up. Zheng Xuanyan was still as gentle and refined as jade, but there were traces of vicissitudes on his face.
Ning Fa's eyes, however, gleamed with a strange light.
The last time they met, he had already noticed that the vitality fire within Zheng Xuanyan had become active again, which was very unusual.
This was because Ning Fa knew that Zheng Xuanyan had previously overdrawn his potential for the sect, advancing to the Late Golden Core stage prematurely, which had weakened the vitality of his innate spiritual wood, making further advancement impossible.
Upon seeing him now, there was clearly a turning point, and Zheng Xuanyan's magical power attributes had also changed significantly, appearing to have switched cultivation methods.
Ning Fa couldn't help but think of the Spiritual Pivot Pavilion and immediately asked, "Junior Brother Zheng, did someone from the Spiritual Pivot Pavilion approach you before and give you a cultivation method?"
Zheng Xuanyan nodded and recounted how Sang Wen had found him earlier, giving him the primary cultivation method of a powerful demon from a long time ago, the Myriad Wood Demon Lord, the Filthy Wood Rebirth Technique, as well as this demon's innate filthy wood.
This way, Zheng Xuanyan still had a slim hope of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.
However, he had to constantly control himself, not to be influenced by the Demonic Path cultivation method and the innate filthy wood, lest his mind fall and he degenerate into a demon.
Ning Fa listened and said thoughtfully, then asked, "Junior Brother, is it because you are suppressing the demonic qi within you that you have been delaying your attempt to break through to Nascent Soul?"
Zheng Xuanyan first showed a bitter smile, then said calmly, "That's right. Although my divine abilities have greatly increased since practicing this cultivation method, due to the war, I have also killed a great deal.
Therefore, my killing intent is extremely heavy, which will further stimulate the filthy wood demonic qi within me.
I am very worried that when I break through to Nascent Soul, I will not be able to control my true heart and will be controlled by inner demons, becoming a demon that only knows how to kill."
Ning Fa pondered for a moment, then took out an ancient Buddhist bead and a seven-colored lotus seat. A unique Buddhist aura emanated from them.
Zheng Xuanyan looked at these two items, and his expression immediately moved.
Ning Fa pointed at the Buddhist bead and said, "Junior Brother, within this is a superior Buddhist cultivation method called the Ksitigarbha's Tribulation-Crossing Lotus True Art.
And this seven-colored lotus seat is also the innate object of a venerable Buddhist monk who cultivated this cultivation method.
By using this seven-colored lotus seat to cultivate this cultivation method, you should be able to effectively suppress the killing intent and demonic qi within you."
These two items were obtained by Ning Fa after he killed the Blood Desire Old Demon of the Myriad Desire Sect in the Sky Furnace Fire Marsh. It was obvious that this demon had killed other Buddhist monks to obtain them, and now they were perfectly suited for Zheng Xuanyan.
Ning Fa had always greatly admired Zheng Xuanyan, so even though these two items were very precious, he gave them away without hesitation.
Especially in recent years, Zheng Xuanyan could be considered a quasi-Nascent Soul cultivator of the Huayu Sect, sheltering the sect and the Ning Family from wind and rain.
Zheng Xuanyan's expression was first excited, then hesitant, "These two items are too precious, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ning Fa smiled and directly stuffed the two items into his hands. Then he soared into the sky and flew towards the Ning Family.
Soon, another graceful figure flew to Zheng Xuanyan's side. It was Nie Guping, who had joined the sect later and was now Zheng Xuanyan's Dao Companion.
Her eyes were filled with tears as she said, "Husband, this is wonderful! This way, you won't have to risk using that self-harming secret technique."
Zheng Xuanyan looked in the direction Ning Fa had left, and couldn't help but smile with emotion, pulling Nie Guping into his arms.
Not long after, in a quiet room within the Ning family's ancestral land.
Ning Zhongyuan and Ning Zhongjiu were seated cross-legged, their hands shifting through hand seals as they regulated their breathing.
Meanwhile, Ning Fa stood to the side, his complexion a little pale, but a smile played on his lips.
Over the years, Ning Zhongyuan and Ning Zhongjiu had endured numerous battles, accumulating countless minor and major injuries that had led to latent internal damage.
This had caused blockages in many of their meridians, even showing signs of atrophy, which had also stalled their cultivation at the Early Core Formation stage.
Therefore, Ning Fa had just used his Supreme Wood Divine Thunder and Supreme Fire Divine Thunder, utilizing the pure Yang energy and rich life force of these two divine thunders.
To unblock their meridians and remove these latent injuries one by one, ensuring they would not hinder their future advancements.
Not long after, both of them finished their cultivation and stood up, looking at Ning Fa with gratitude.
At this moment, their eyes were filled with divine light, their complexions were ruddy, and they felt a long-lost sense of comfort.
They even felt that as long as they cultivated according to the plan, they should be able to break through their current cultivation bottleneck very soon.
They naturally understood how precious Ning Fa's actions were.
"Xiao Fa, you just..." The First Elder, Ning Zhongyuan, opened his mouth to speak.
Ning Fa interrupted him with a smile, "First Elder, there's no need for polite words. By the way, I have some more things to give you."
As he spoke, Ning Fa flicked his sleeve again, and a small pile of treasures instantly appeared in the air.
Ning Zhongyuan and Ning Zhongjiu were even more surprised, as among these treasures were many Second-grade Magic Treasures and Ancient Treasures that only Nascent Soul cultivators were qualified to possess. There were even two Magic Treasures that reached the Third-grade.
In addition, there were also two Phoenix Flame Nirvana Fruits with considerable medicinal age.
"Xiao Fa, this is too precious..."
Even Ning Zhongjiu couldn't help but hesitate.
"These are nothing to me now, don't be polite, just take them."
Ning Fa persuaded them again, and only then did the two happily accept all the treasures.
Then, Ning Fa mentioned his plan to have the Ning Family move to Xuguo along with the sect, which greatly excited the two Core Formation elders of the Ning Family.
At this moment, Ning Zhongyuan said hesitantly, "Xiao Fa, someone from the main family came earlier wanting to see you."
After speaking, Ning Zhongyuan quickly added, "Although the main family publicly distanced themselves from us due to the pressure from Pei Nanshu and Yu Chan, they did help our Ning Family quite a bit in secret, providing a considerable amount of resources. For us at that time, it was truly a helping hand in our time of need."
Ning Fa pondered after hearing this and then said, "First Elder, you can handle this matter as you see fit. I can allow them to move into Xuguo.
However, First Elder, you must remember who is primary and who is secondary. We are the main family from now on, and they are the branch.
And if I find them using my name to do anything excessive, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Alright, Xiao Fa, I know what to do." Ning Zhongyuan said, quite pleased.
At this moment, Ning Zhongjiu frowned and said, "Xiao Fa, about Hua Rong's matter..."
Upon hearing this, Ning Zhongyuan also showed concern, "Xiao Fa, this matter needs careful consideration.
The Yuan Cha Gate is not to be trifled with. It is said that they have close ties with the Demonic Path Alliance, especially with our Cangyuan's foremost sect, the Wushi Demonic Palace.
And the Wushi Demonic Palace currently has two Great Cultivators, plus Huangfu Hong has also advanced to the late stage. They are not to be underestimated.
There's no need to rush Hua Rong's matter. As long as you are here, I believe they won't dare to do anything to Hua Rong."
Ning Fa's eyes flashed with a cold glint.
He did indeed have an account to settle with the Yuan Cha Gate and Huangfu Hong, not only for Ning Huarong's situation but also for Huangfu Hong's previous scheme against the Divine Maiden Zhu Lingyun, which had implicated him.
However, as Ning Zhongyuan said, now was not the time.
"Don't worry, First Elder, I know what to do. You two should hurry and prepare for the relocation. You don't need to worry about the war ahead for now," Ning Fa said with a smile.
Ning Zhongyuan and Ning Zhongjiu left excitedly.
Next, Ning Fa met with his third uncle, Ning Hongye, and his old friend Ning Zonglie, giving them plenty of treasures as well.
After that, he went to see Ning Shaohong and Wei Shiqin. Under the women's affections, and with some playful resistance, Ning Fa enjoyed a night of shared intimacy.
On the large bed, Ning Fa gently caressed the two women, who shyly buried their heads in his arms.
At this moment, Ning Shaohong lifted her delicate head and first gave Ning Fa a playful glare, "You brat, are you satisfied now?"
Although their statuses were vastly different now, hearing the phrase "you brat" brought back memories of when Ning Fa first met Ning Shaohong, making him feel a sense of warmth and familiarity.
Ning Shaohong gave him another sidelong glance, then looked at Wei Shiqin with a knowing smile.
"I never expected my dear sister to be so knowledgeable and talented, knowing even those kinds of moves. You've truly opened my eyes. It seems you two have practiced quite a bit in private."
Ning Shaohong's words made Wei Shiqin blush deeply.
In the heat of the moment, she had done things she usually only did when alone with Ning Fa. Under Ning Shaohong's teasing, she became incredibly shy.
"Sister, aren't you learning just as quickly?" Wei Shiqin quickly retorted, not to be outdone.
"You little rascal, you dare to tease your sister now!"
Ning Fa laughed heartily, and the large bed began to shake once more.
