Chapter 424 After the War

Above the East China Sea, there was a scene of slaughter.

Ning Daoran was not idle. After dealing with Jing Tiancheng, he drove straight in again, continuously hunting down the cultivators from the Sangyu Kingdom. He only stopped after successively killing more than a dozen Jindan cultivators and hundreds of foundation-building cultivators.

The evening wind was howling and the battle continued until late at night.

When he released his spiritual sense to investigate again, he found that there was no one living within dozens of miles. He had killed so many people that there was no one left, so he turned around and returned to Half Moon Island.

“Shua~~~”

A bloody figure rushed across the sky.

True Lord Qinglin!

Ning Daoran's heart shuddered, but at this moment True Lord Qinglin was already seriously injured, with half of his body burned and torn apart, and he had lost an arm and a leg. Even his internal organs could be seen shaking clearly. If it weren't for the strong physique of a Nascent Soul cultivator, an ordinary cultivator injured to this extent would have been beyond the reach of even a god.

It is obvious that these are the masterpieces of Lin Tiannan, Seven Stars True Lord and others!

"Ning Daoran?"

True Lord Qinglin suddenly stopped in mid-air, his eyes filled with strong murderous intent.

"oh?"

Ning Daoran also discovered this severely injured Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. After weighing the odds of winning, his palm flashed with light, and a spiritual treasure appeared - the Immortal Executioner Crossbow! "Hmph!"

The corner of Qinglin Zhenjun's mouth twitched, knowing that he was seriously injured and his Nascent Soul was also severely damaged. If he wanted to kill Ning Daoran at this moment, he really had no guarantee of victory. On the contrary, if he was dragged here by him, it would be very likely that Lin Tiannan and others would continue to hunt him down. Moreover, his injuries were too severe, and if he continued to drag on, he would most likely fall back to the early Nascent Soul stage.

"I'll let you live today, wait!"

True Lord Qinglin uttered a cruel word, and at the moment when a wave of Nascent Soul spiritual pressure burst out and crushed him, he twisted his body and actually activated the magical power of teleportation, and disappeared in front of his eyes in an instant.

Ning Daoran frowned, took back the Zhuxian Crossbow, and continued to return to Half Moon Island.

…

Late at night, bonfires were lit on Half Moon Island, and countless monks from the Xia Kingdom gathered there.

"Friend Ning!"

In the gloom, Lin Tiannan appeared and said, "It's good to see that you have returned safely."

"Exactly."

The figures of the three Nascent Souls, Lingfu Zhenjun, Qixing Zhenjun, and Liuyun Zhenjun, also appeared. Qixing Zhenjun said, "After the battle started, my nephew Ning chased after them. I wonder what happened later?"

"We killed some monks from the Sangyu Nation, but there wasn't much to gain."

Ning Daoran flew forward, respectfully took out Jing Tiancheng's head from the storage bag and presented it to Ling Fu Zhenjun, saying: "Senior Ling Fu, I said I would avenge Fairy Lin. Although Jing Tiancheng was cunning, I still followed him. Now I will use his head as a sacrifice to Fairy Lin. I hope you will accept my condolences."

"Little friend Ning, you are so thoughtful..."

True Lord Lingfu raised her hand and put Jing Tiancheng's head into the storage bag.

"What happened to this place later?" Ning Daoran asked.

"all the best."

Lin Tiannan said, "We killed both the Forgetful Demon Lord and the Ironwood Demon Lord, along with their Nascent Souls. However, the True Lord Qinglin risked his life object to blow up a corner of the Ten Directions Forbidden Array, and escaped under the protection of the Purple Flame Demon Lord. The Purple Flame Demon Lord was being watched by Master Shen the entire time, and he also returned with us. This battle is now settled."

"oh……"

Ning Daoran nodded. As for what happened afterwards, he did not ask any more questions. That was a decision made by the top leaders of Xia Country's immortal cultivation world, and he, a mere master of Liuhua Island, could not be included in the decision-making level.

Of course, he was too lazy to ask about it. He was a free and easy person. If he was involved in high-level decision-making, he would inevitably be tied up and unable to leave.

However, the vitality of Sangyu Kingdom was greatly depleted in this battle. Not only did it lose top-level Jindan such as Jing Tiancheng and Huocanzi, but even the two Nascent Souls of Demon Lord Tiemu and Demon Lord Wangqing were killed in the battle. Although True Lord Qinglin escaped, he was also seriously injured and would certainly not be able to recover in a short time. It was a pity that True Lord Honglu escaped.

…

Early morning hours.

Ning Daoran returned to Liuhua Island.

In the air, a large number of Xia country monks returned to Liuhua Island one after another. Half Moon Island was only a temporary position, and Liuhua Island was the real frontier position of Xia country.

"Uncle Ning!"

Huang Yiyi led a group of monks on the island to meet them. When she saw that Ning Daoran was safe and sound, her pretty face was filled with joy.

"I'm fine."

Ning Daoran smiled and said, "It looks like this war is finally coming to an end. Let's prepare to resume business at Liuhua Market. There are many independent cultivators left on the island right now. We might as well reopen the market tomorrow to retain more popularity. This will be quite beneficial to Liuhua Island."

"Yeah, okay!"

Huang Yiyi smiled and nodded.

Ning Daoran returned to the cave and began to retreat.

The first thing was to refine the storage bag he had obtained. There was nothing good in Huocanzi's storage ring. He was a Nascent Soul in a fallen realm, and he knew that this conspiracy was extremely dangerous, so he probably left all the treasures to future generations.

There are some things in Jing Tiancheng's storage bag, three magic weapons, more than a dozen spiritual tools, and a lot of miscellaneous spiritual medicines, materials and other things. It is extremely numerous. This is the foundation that an ancestor should have.

It’s a pity that there is no inheritance of the Falling Star Formation.

Ning Daoran felt relieved after searching his soul. It turned out that the three flags and three array plates of the Falling Star Array came from a secret realm passed down from ancient times. They were obtained by Jing Tiancheng when he explored the secret realm. Although he had refined the Falling Star Array, he did not understand the mysteries of the formation and could only use it.

Therefore, it is a pity that Jing Tiancheng did not inherit the Falling Star Formation.

Ning Daoran was somewhat helpless. In this case, he could only use the most time-consuming and laborious method, relying on this set of formations to reverse deduce the formation inheritance. However, if he could really deduce it, it would be a good thing, just like the Water Cloud Golden Bamboo Sword Formation. The unique formation inheritance in the world would appear to be quite powerful.

Half a month passed in a flash.

In the past half month, Ning Daoran became completely famous. The news about him narrowly killing the Nascent Soul Fire Silkworm in the fifth duel and hunting down Jing Tian to avenge the fairy Lin Baoping had spread. At this time, his name had become a legend and was about to be included in various vernacular novels and circulated.

Maybe I’ll be able to see myself in a shadow play soon.

Ning Daoran remained silent on this.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

But one thing is certain, when he travels to Sangyu Country, he must change his identity. If he travels to Sangyu Country under the name of Ning Daoran or Jianjia Sanren, the danger will be too great. I am afraid that Sangyu Country will mobilize the entire country to strangle him!

He looked in front of the mirror, changing his appearance over and over again, until he finally found one that suited him.

After the disguise, he transformed into a handsome young monk with firm eyes, slightly protruding cheekbones, and completely different appearance from before. Even his soul and magical aura were changed by the magic formula of Acala, and he was completely different from his previous self! Moreover, he gave this new vest a new Dharma name.

Master Qiu Shui!

I would like to use this name to commemorate my dear junior sister Han Bing...

…

Several months later, after a long tug-of-war between the two countries, Sangyu Kingdom finally could not withstand the pressure and took the initiative to send people to seek peace. It invited the top leaders of the Xia Kingdom's immortal cultivation world to a place called Broken Star Reef in the East China Sea to negotiate peace, and expressed that Sangyu Kingdom was willing to submit and become a vassal state of Xia Kingdom from then on. Of course, there were a lot of conditions. It was a vassal state on the surface, but in fact it was highly autonomous.

However, the Xia Kingdom also has its own considerations. After years of wars in the world of immortals, the Xia Kingdom has suffered heavy losses and is in urgent need of recuperation. At this time, the Sangyu Kingdom is willing to submit and will pay a large amount of tribute, which is already the best result.

A few days later, Starshatter Reef.

Lin Tiannan, Seven Stars Master, and Flowing Cloud Master attended the peace ceremony. Ning Daoran was also invited to participate. At this time, his status in the Xia Kingdom's cultivation world was extremely high! At noon, a number of treasure boats from the Sangyu Kingdom appeared in the east.

An old man with white hair and beard came out and called himself Master Ju Ding. He was a highly respected elder in Sangyu State. His status in Sangyu State was no less than that of Wang Lang in Wei State. He was a true elder.

Ning Daoran frowned.

The Purple Flame Demon Lord did not come, perhaps because he was worried that he would be beaten and killed. After all, after the battle on Half Moon Island, the great monks from Xia Country were very angry, and they all wanted to find monks from Sangyu Country to vent their anger. If the Purple Flame Demon Lord came, the probability of him being beaten and killed in public to apologize to the world would not be low.

"Everyone, this is the letter from my country Sangyu."

Master Ju Ding was extremely respectful. He bent down and presented the letter respectfully.

Lin Tiannan stood straight. After receiving the letter, he glanced at it and found that it was almost the same as the previous agreement. He said, "I wonder if the price paid by Sangyu Nation as the loser after the five duels?"

"I have brought it."

Master Ju Ding clapped his hands, and immediately two very beautiful female cultivators in the middle stage of the Golden Core came over. They took out their storage bags and took out the treasures inside one by one.

"Everyone, please look."

True Man Ju Ding said, "Three spiritual treasures, twenty magic weapons, and ten million spiritual stones are all here. Now that the letter of credence has been signed, my country Sangyu has become a vassal state of your country. We will pay tribute to your country every ten years. After this letter of credence contract is signed, we will never break our promise. We also hope that your country can abide by its promise and never set foot in Sangyu, so that my country will have peace and prosperity."

"Can."

Lin Tiannan nodded, accepted the letter, and left with his men.

There was no etiquette between the two sides, and after the peace talks were over, they each went their separate ways.

…

Liuhua Island.

The Seven Stars Lord said goodbye and returned to the Liangyi Sect, while the Flowing Cloud Lord disappeared from the world again.

Liuhua Market has reopened and business is much better than before.

Ning Daoran went into seclusion again, but a few days later, Lin Tiannan brought Chen Liang to Liuhua Island.

"Friend Ning."

Lin Tiannan got straight to the point. He pointed to the tray with treasures and storage bags in Chen Liang's hand behind him and said with a smile, "Friend Ning played a great role in the border war. This is a gift from Sangyu Country. I have selected a fourth-level middle-grade spiritual treasure, the Cold Dragon Stone Plate, plus 500,000 spiritual stones. I hope you don't mind it!"
