The others also observed their surroundings. They saw continuous mountain ranges shrouded in mist, with clear waters and beautiful scenery, not unlike their own Cangyuan.
Ji Lianxing asked with some confusion, "Didn't they say this Qige Mountain Range frequently experiences powerful celestial phenomena? It doesn't look like it at all."
Ning Fa, however, was intently staring in the rightward direction and then said calmly, "Look over there again."
Upon hearing this, everyone's Spiritual Sense immediately probed in that direction, and their expressions all changed slightly.
They saw that about a hundred miles in that direction, a vibrant patch of colorful mist covering over a hundred li was drifting in the sky.
Wherever this mist passed, whether it was Spirit Plants or Demonic Beasts, they turned into ash-white crystals and then shattered into dust, looking incredibly bizarre.
"What in the world is that?" Bai Yueqiu said, her face a little pale. The others also looked quite grim.
Without a word, Ning Fa urged the Rift Savage Bird beneath him to increase its speed, flying towards the edge of the mountain range.
Since they were not in the depths of the mountain range, it only took them a day to fly out of it. They then sped towards the southwest.
During this process, they deeply understood why the Tianli Cultivation World was said to have a harsh environment.
They flew for over a hundred thousand li, but they didn't find any Spirit Vein locations. Instead, they encountered danger several times.
For example, there were celestial phenomena similar to that bizarre mist. Although the danger level couldn't compare to that mist, even Core Formation Cultivators would find it difficult to deal with easily.
In addition to that, there were highly aggressive Savage Beasts, both on the ground and in the air. As soon as they passed through their territory, they would be pursued.
This made Ning Fa and his companions understand why the Tianli Cultivators were so eager to conquer their Cangyuan. Compared to this, Cangyuan was truly a blessed land.
Although this journey was quite dangerous, Ning Fa and his companions were also extremely powerful.
Not to mention Ning Fa, the others also possessed combat strength exceeding that of ordinary Mid Nascent Soul Cultivators.
Therefore, these dangers did not cause them much trouble. Everyone was rapidly approaching Aisa City in the southwest, and along the way, they tried to avoid interacting with other Tianli Cultivators.
On the tenth day, Ning Fa, standing at the very front of the Rift Savage Bird, suddenly his gaze sharpened.
He sensed a streak of light approaching from behind at an incredible speed.
Ning Fa hesitated for a moment before deciding against changing direction to evade.
Although his Spiritual Sense further detected the other party, with their speed, they would likely catch up in the blink of an eye. If they deliberately dodged, it would only make the other party suspicious.
Ning Fa's expression remained unchanged, and he simultaneously transmitted his Spiritual Sense to the others, "A powerful figure is approaching from behind, be careful."
The others were startled and quickly spread out their Spiritual Sense, but they found nothing.
Ji Lianxing frowned and was about to say something when her expression suddenly changed.
She finally sensed the streak of light behind them and then looked at Ning Fa with an even tighter frown.
Ning Fa had detected the other party so much earlier than her, which meant his Spiritual Sense was much stronger than hers, didn't it?
The others also realized this and looked at Ning Fa with somewhat strange expressions, finally understanding that his reputation was well-deserved.
Not long after, they heard a fierce whistling sound, and everyone seemed to just then notice, looking back.
They saw a bronze chariot speeding through a fierce green streak of light.
What drew attention were the two beasts pulling the chariot. They were several zhang long, had six wings, and a single horn on their forehead, resembling Heavenly Horses.
With just a flap of their six wings, the two beasts pulled the chariot dozens of zhang forward. Their speed was so great that even ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators couldn't catch up.
Soon, the bronze chariot caught up to Ning Fa and the others, but it continued to fly forward without stopping at all. In a short time, it had disappeared into the horizon.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, because anyone who could ride such a powerful flying Magic Treasure was definitely a Nascent Soul Cultivator from Tianli.
And likely not just any ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator, but someone with a considerable status in Tianli. If the other party had become suspicious of them, it would have been troublesome.
However, Ning Fa's expression was solemn, a complex look flashing in his eyes. He muttered in a low voice, "Could it be her?..."
At this moment, two women were seated inside the chariot.
The woman seated in the center wore a cloud-white palace dress. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her eyes were like autumn water. Her temperament was as cold and pure as an orchid, as if a fairy had descended, unstained by the dust of the world. On her smooth forehead was a mysterious half-moon-shaped spiritual pattern.
This woman was Ling Yue, whom Ning Fa had not seen for a long time.
The woman sitting beside her was a beautiful woman in her thirties. Her long hair was tied up high. Although her appearance was beautiful, her phoenix eyes exuded a strong killing aura, making her look very unapproachable.
Ning Fa also recognized this woman. It was Ye Ji from Brilliant Moon Palace, with whom he had a fierce fight at Thunderwood Palace before.
At this moment, Ling Yue was at the Late Core Formation realm, while Ye Ji had already reached the Early Nascent Soul realm.
Ling Yue, who was originally cold and indifferent, suddenly moved her expression, looked up at the rear, and her delicate brows furrowed slightly.
Ye Ji also glanced at Ning Fa and the others behind them and said with a smile, "Looking at these people, they're another beast-hunting team, and judging by their direction, they're heading for Aisa City.
But these people are unlucky. Even if they reach Aisa City, they won't be able to go to the Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain Range right now, so it'll be a wasted trip."
Ling Yue seemed not to hear, still looking at the rear, her beautiful eyes seeming to hold a hint of confusion.
Seeing this, Ye Ji couldn't help but feel a little strange, "Little Yue, what's wrong? Do you know any of these Core Formation Cultivators?"
Ling Yue looked back at the rear again, then turned around with a normal expression, "It's nothing. It's just that one of them seems to have a rather special true essence aura, which piqued my interest."
"Isn't that simple? I'll go capture them," Ye Ji said with a smile, about to make a move. But upon seeing Ling Yue's furrowed brows, she immediately shrugged.
"Alright, forget I said anything.
But Little Yue, you need to take this mission seriously this time. This is a great opportunity for you to surpass Bai Muqing."
After all, that treasure is related to the fate of the Tianli tribe. To refine it, the tribe even took out the Innate Five Elements Qi that had been accumulated for tens of thousands of years.
Moreover, they didn't hesitate to draw out most of the barrier's power from the Five Elements Chaos Sealing Spirit Great Array in the Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain Range.
As long as you can help the tribe complete the refining of that important treasure this time, then there will be no suspense for the position of Moon Lord. Even if you are Sister Ling's daughter, no one will criticize you."
Ye Ji said solemnly.
But at this moment, Ling Yue still looked a bit stunned. After a while, she came back to her senses and said indifferently, "Is the position of Moon Lord really that important?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ji immediately became anxious, "Xiao Yue, why are you still so naive? Do you think this position of Moon Lord only concerns you? Don't forget the mother clan behind you!
Your mother has been the Moon Lord of the clan for hundreds of years. Although she was infinitely glorious, she also offended quite a few people.
Not to mention others, the Bai Family is a huge threat.
Your two families have always been mortal enemies.
The death of Bai Yeming back then further intensified the enmity between your two families. The Bai Family has always believed that your mother deliberately watched their clan's genius perish without offering help.
Over the years, with the instigation of some people, the enmity between your Ling Family and the Bai Family has deepened.
And Sister Ling consumed a lot of vital energy to break through that Realm Wall. Her remaining lifespan is not much.
Once Sister Ling passes away, and your Ling Family does not have a powerful figure to preside over it, the Bai Family will not consider Sister Ling's contributions to the clan and will definitely attack your Ling Family.
The Bai Family has been flourishing with talent in recent years. The number of elders in the Holy Temple is not comparable to your Ling Family, and they also have a very good relationship with several Holy Witches. For example, Su Rihe has clearly stated his support for Bai Muqing."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yue sighed softly, "Aunt Ye, you don't need to say more. I know what to do."
Ye Ji then relaxed. Then, as if she thought of something, she said with lingering fear:
"It's also fortunate that the actions of Aruoye and others were not successful before. Otherwise, if they really managed to snatch the child of the Divine Heart Sect's Divine Maiden Zhu Lingyun.
Then neither you nor Bai Muqing would have a chance for the position of Moon Lord. It would definitely be taken by Zhu Lingyun's daughter.
Tsk tsk, it is said that this girl is the only one in tens of thousands of years who has caused the Qian Tian Pan in the Holy Temple to display the Qian Ming Tian Yi anomaly."
Hearing this, Ling Yue did not speak, but the complexity in her eyes deepened.
Ye Ji, however, seemed oblivious and exclaimed in wonder, "It is said that the child Zhu Lingyun is carrying was left by Ning Fa. I don't know what charm Ning Fa has to make the pure and chaste Zhu Lingyun fall for him, even willing to get pregnant for him, and even give birth to a child with such astonishing talent.
It's a pity that Zhu Lingyun was afflicted by Aruoye's Nine Li God Sealing Curse. Both she and the child in her womb are probably already dried bones by now.
However, it seems that Ning Fa has another child who is also very talented. He was taken away by the Spiritual Pivot Pavilion from a young age and was secretly cultivated..."
Ye Ji spoke for a long time without a response. She turned around and saw Ling Yue looking out the window, her expression dazed.
Ye Ji couldn't help but frown and said earnestly, "Xiao Yue, you should let it go.
Now our Tianli and Cangyuan have a deep-seated hatred. Not to mention anything else, many people from the Huayu Sect and the Ning Family died in this great battle. Do you think Ning Fa can let go of this enmity?
Especially since he is now on our Tianli's kill list, and his priority is even ranked first.
After all, this kid is a strange anomaly. He is only at the early Nascent Soul stage but possesses the strength of a Great Cultivator, and not just an ordinary Great Cultivator. He can fight evenly with Yougu of the Myriad Bone Gate.
If we give him some more time to grow, I'm afraid no one in our Tianli will be able to deal with him.
I heard that the old guys in the Holy Temple have a meticulous plan to deal with Ning Fa, and they must kill him. But this kid hasn't appeared for a year, I don't know if he sensed something or what."
Hearing this, Ling Yue's heart tightened, but she said casually, "With his current strength, perhaps they can injure him, but killing him will be very difficult."
Ye Ji smiled mysteriously, "Xiao Yue, you don't know this. It's not just us Tianli people who want him dead; there are also many people in Cangyuan."
"What? Someone in Cangyuan wants to kill him? Why would they do that?" At this moment, Ling Yue could no longer hide her nervousness.
Seeing Ling Yue's expression, Ye Ji first laughed it off, "I was just saying it casually, just a guess."
Then, she raised her eyebrows, "But Xiao Yue, be clear-headed. It's impossible between you two.
If you ask me, even if you can't bear to kill Xia Xinlan and Ji Qingqing.
At the very least, you can use them as a trade with Cangyuan for some high-level spiritual materials.
Ning Fa is a romantic fellow, and he probably won't refuse. This way, you can explain yourself to the clan and avoid being constantly criticized by those people in the clan because of this."
"Let's talk about this later." Ling Yue's expression returned to calm, but there was a deep gloom in her eyes.
