Ji Lianxing, standing beside him, looked at him with shock.
Ning Fa had actually killed the three people who were famous throughout Cangyuan!
One had to know that these were three Great Cultivators!
How many Great Cultivators were there in the entire Cangyuan? Ning Fa had killed them just like that. It was imaginable that Cangyuan would be thrown into a violent upheaval.
Ning Fa's unrestrained and reckless personality also made her heart tremble.
Especially Ning Fa's powerful display of strength, which filled her with awe, leaving her with not a single shred of rebellious thought towards Ning Fa.
Baili Ming, not far away, also sized up Ning Fa with a strange look in his eyes.
Originally, he hadn't held much hope for Ning Fa confronting the Nine Immortals Association, but seeing Ning Fa's performance now had increased his confidence by a few points.
"Master is mighty, his divine abilities are boundless! But Little Ice also played an indelible role."
Little Ice said with a grin, holding a long spear.
With a flash of blue light beside him, Blue Lightning suddenly appeared and knocked him hard on the head.
Ning Fa reached out and grabbed the void, and several powerful Magic Treasures and Storage Rings floating in the air immediately flew towards him.
Ning Fa swept them with his Spiritual Sense, and even with his own discerning eye, he couldn't help but show a moved expression.
The wealth of these three people exceeded his imagination.
But now was not the time for a thorough inspection. He put these items away, glanced around, and said quickly, "The people from Tianli should be arriving soon. Let's hurry and leave."
With that, he swept the surrounding people with his escape light and flew rapidly towards the cave entrance.
At the same time, in the Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain Range, a group of six people was rapidly flying towards this location.
The Spiritual Pressure emanating from these six people was extremely powerful; they were all at the late Nascent Soul stage.
The leading three were even more terrifying, their emitted aura far surpassing that of the latter three, creating a gap akin to that between ordinary Nascent Souls and Great Cultivators.
These three were two men and one woman.
One of the men was dressed in white robes, wore a crown of feathers, had a refined appearance, and carried the pressure of someone accustomed to a high position. This was Su Rihe, whom Ning Fa had met before.
The other man was dressed in black, had a square face and broad forehead, and a dignified demeanor.
Ning Fa also recognized this person; he was the newly promoted Holy Witch of Tianli, Mei Danlun.
At this moment, his complexion was slightly pale, and the aura he emitted had a clear gap compared to the other two.
Besides being a newly promoted High-level Great Cultivator, it was clear that the destruction of his Dharma body by Ning Fa earlier had a significant impact on him.
The other woman was dressed in a pure white palace dress, possessed an incredibly graceful figure, and wore a veil, revealing only a pair of dazzling eyes like the bright moon.
Although her appearance was hidden, one could easily imagine her peerless beauty.
This woman was the Moon Lord of Tianli—Ling Yuqing, and also Ling Yue's mother.
Su Rihe said in a chilling voice, "Those people from Cangyuan are truly short-sighted, thinking of dealing with that Ning Fa alone!
They didn't even consider that although the items on that brat are tempting, one must have the ability to obtain them.
The three of them were not even Mid-level Great Cultivators, yet they dared to covet them all. This is greed leading to overreach.
Now they must have realized something was wrong and sent us a message.
Hmph, if that Ning Fa really gets away, let's see how they'll clean up this mess!"
Mei Danlun also frowned deeply and said slowly, "There's no need to worry too much. Those three are not ordinary Great Cultivators either. I believe they should be able to hold Ning Fa back.
As long as we arrive, we will have a great chance of killing him.
No matter what, we must retrieve that fragment of the ultimate treasure and the Innate Five Elements Qi!"
Ling Yuqing did not speak. Although her expression remained unchanged, there was a hint of seriousness in her eyes.
An hour later, this group of Great Cultivators from Tianli finally arrived at the mountain peak. After circling it once, they flew directly towards the cave.
Soon, their escape lights dissipated, and the six people appeared in the cave.
The place was already a ruin, with shocking pools of blood.
Mei Danlun asked with some confusion, "Have they already left this place? Let's go, let's chase them quickly!"
But Su Rihe reached out and stopped him.
Suddenly, a strange gray light bloomed in his eyes, scanning the cave back and forth. After the gray light disappeared from his eyes, his expression turned so grim that it seemed like water could drip from it. He took a deep breath and slowly said, "Pei Nanshu and the other two are all dead."
"What!?" Hearing this, Mei Danlun exclaimed in disbelief.
The other three ordinary Great Cultivators from Tianli also exchanged glances, not daring to believe their ears.
Ling Yuqing glanced around the surroundings and sighed, "That's right, Huangfu Hong and the others are indeed dead. It hasn't been more than an hour."
Upon hearing Ling Yuqing's confirmation, everyone else fell silent, their expressions showing unconcealed shock.
Those were three Great Cultivators, and Ning Fa had killed them in such a short time?
And not a single one escaped?
Su Rihe's expression was extremely grim as he slowly said, "This brat absolutely cannot be allowed to live! We must kill him, no matter the cost! Let's go, we must pursue him quickly!"
The group immediately left the cave.
Three days later.
They regrouped at a location on the outer perimeter of the mountain range, each with a solemn expression.
In the past three days, although they had killed many savage beasts, they had found no trace of Ning Fa.
Mei Danlun's brow was filled with worry as he slowly said, "Since this person has colluded with Ning Daozhen and the others, and we've all experienced Ning Daozhen's peculiar transmission methods, I'm afraid he's already left the Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain Range by now.
Furthermore, for a cultivator of his caliber, it's difficult to kill him completely without the advantage of terrain.
So, we shouldn't waste our efforts. Let's focus our energy on dealing with the current menace of savage beasts."
Despite his unwillingness, Su Rihe could only nod in agreement.
Meanwhile, Ling Yuqing, with her ethereal posture, looked into the distance with a calm expression and said, "I think we should make up our minds and agree to the Myriad Bone Gate's conditions to end the war as soon as possible.
If we drag this out any longer and give Ning Fa more time to grow, it might lead to our efforts being in vain."
Upon hearing this, Mei Danlun and Su Rihe both trembled, their faces filled with hesitation.
In reality, the Myriad Bone Gate had been trying to send larger reinforcements, but Tianli had politely declined because it would come at a great cost.
However, after witnessing Ning Fa's terrifying strength and potential, they couldn't help but waver.
After all, as Ling Yuqing had said, if things dragged on until Ning Fa grew to a point where none of them could match him, the outcome of this war would be uncertain, and Tianli might even find itself at a disadvantage.
After all, in such cultivation wars, the decisive factor often wasn't the strength comparison between mid- and low-level cultivators, but rather at the highest level.
If Tianli had no one at the highest level who could stop Ning Fa, then this war would be over, and they would have to worry about Cangyuan's counterattack.
Thinking of this, Su Rihe, with his grim expression, took a deep breath and said, "I agree."
"I agree as well," Mei Danlun said helplessly.
Ling Yuqing let out a long sigh and was the first to fly out of the mountain range.
In the southwestern region of the Fang Kun Mountain Range, a streak of light arrived from the west. After circling once, it landed in the sky above a certain area.
As the escaping light receded, several figures appeared. They were Ning Fa, Ji Lianxing, and Tianyou, whose expression was blank.
Ning Fa glanced around, then his gaze settled on a hidden valley below. With a flick of his finger, a beam of spiritual light shot towards it.
Before long, several streaks of escaping light flew out from the valley.
It was Ning Daozhen, Dan Hongzi, and Xiao Han, along with Sang Wen, Xiao Pengyuan, and Wen Xiuxin, and Bai Yueqiu, whose expression was blank.
In addition, there were two other graceful figures.
One woman was dressed in a blue dress, tall and slender, with a beauty that could captivate a falling fish and a goose.
At this moment, her pretty face was already streaming with tears. With a flash of escaping light, she threw herself into Ning Fa's embrace, sobbing, "Husband, I finally see you again."
This woman was none other than Xia Xinlan, whom Ning Fa had previously believed to be dead.
Ning Fa embraced her waist, his eyes filled with emotion.
The other woman was enchanting and charming, with a beautiful and graceful appearance. She was Ji Qingqing, who was once known as one of the Twin Beauties of Huayu Sect alongside Duanmu Ling.
Seeing Ning Fa again, she was also extremely excited. She bowed deeply to him and respectfully said, "Thank you, Uncle-Master Ning, for saving my life."
Looking at Ji Qingqing, Ning Fa couldn't help but think of the tragic state of the Ji family, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Although he had killed Bai Dan, the matter of the Ji family was irreversible.
However, the fact that Ji Qingqing was still alive was good news, and he believed that the Ji family would rise again in the future.
Ning Fa then looked at Sang Wen and Xiao Pengyuan and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why haven't you left yet?"
Before Sang Wen could speak, Xiao Pengyuan replied first, "It's mainly because Fellow Daoist Sang was worried about Fellow Daoist Ning's safety, so she asked us to wait a bit longer."
Xiao Pengyuan coughed and added, "Of course, I am also very concerned about Fellow Daoist Ning, so I agreed with Fellow Daoist Sang's suggestion."
Hearing this, Ning Fa couldn't help but look at Sang Wen with a hint of a smile.
The woman, however, knitted her brows and then asked with an unchanged expression, "How is the situation? Did they come looking for you?"
Xiao Pengyuan also looked at Ning Fa nervously.
Ning Fa nodded and casually said, "I killed all three of them."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Pengyuan's body trembled violently. His face was filled with shock, and for a moment, he couldn't believe his ears.
Three Great Cultivators were killed just like that?!
Seeing Ning Fa's calm expression, he felt as if he were looking at a ghost or a god, and his reverence was boundless.
Sang Wen was also shocked, and then a complex expression appeared in her eyes. She let out a long sigh and said no more.
At this moment, Ji Lianxing, who was beside Ning Fa, giggled and said, "What are you guys worried about? With Brother Ning here, what does it matter if three more parasites are gone?"
Although Ji Lianxing's words were flattering, they were also from the heart. After all, after witnessing that battle with her own eyes, her confidence in Ning Fa was unparalleled.
Hearing this, Xiao Pengyuan, who had been worried, immediately reacted and quickly echoed with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Ji is right. With Fellow Daoist Ning here, why should we regret those three traitors who colluded with external enemies!"
At this moment, Ning Daozhen and the other two, who had been quietly listening nearby, vaguely understood what had happened. They looked at Ning Fa with shocked expressions, as if they were looking at a monster.
Ning Daozhen's eyes flashed as he said in a deep voice, "Don't forget your previous promise."
Ning Fa looked at him and said calmly, "What I, Ning Fa, say is always kept. But what I said earlier was that I needed to return to Cangyuan, so I still need your help."
Ning Daozhen snorted, "Let's go. I'm ready."
