Chapter 542: Lord Yama
Two days later, on the way back to Dongming City.
Ning Daoran passed through a mountainous area called Yunxi Ridge. Hundreds of mountains sprang up like bamboo shoots after a rain, standing out from the thick clouds.
This place in Hunzhou has always been a dangerous place, and there are often robbers lying in wait.
Suddenly, an inexplicable sense of crisis enveloped his heart! Ning Daoran couldn't help but frowned, and instantly released his Nascent Soul consciousness to explore everything here.
However, in the next second, the power of the formation suddenly surged in the forest below, and then a formation with the rhythm of water rose up, as if to imprison Ning Daoran inside.
In a flash, a ray of lightning flashed around him, and at the moment the formation rose, Ning Daoran directly activated the Nine Heavens Thunder Escape Art, transformed into a ray of lightning and escaped several miles away, barely leaving the range of the formation.
Only now did he have the chance to calm down and look at the formation carefully.
The Fantasy Sea Raging Tides Formation is a top-grade third-level formation that combines a killing formation, a maze formation, and an illusion formation into one. It is an extremely insidious means of killing. If you accidentally fall into the Fantasy Sea Raging Tides Formation, you are very likely to be killed by someone of a higher level!
"kill!"
On both sides, violent voices arose and a group of cultivators rushed out. The two leaders among them were both in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, and their bodies were filled with surging magical powers.
"Not good..."
Ning Daoran's heart sank, at this moment, the Nascent Soul consciousness he released had already detected the dense aura coming from the distant mountains and forests, most of them were in the Jindan stage and the foundation building stage, but at the same time, there was also a flash of Nascent Soul aura.
This shows that the group of people in front of us is a criminal gang, not just three or two people.
The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, so there is no need to get too entangled.
The next second, Ning Daoran raised his hand and flicked it. A force of Changqing Jue magic mixed with the light of dragon vine swept across, killing a group of robbery cultivators on the spot. At the same time, his body flashed, and with the explosive power of his physical body, he slapped an old man in the middle stage of Jindan.
"you!"
The old man was horrified. The opponent came too fast and he didn't even have the chance to use his magic weapon to protect himself.
"puff!"
With one palm strike, the old man was directly disemboweled. His beating heart instantly turned into a rain of blood, and he was killed on the spot!
"Not good! This guy is so cunning, he killed Elder Luo!"
"Quick, come together and strangle him!"
A large number of Tribulation Cultivators gathered from all directions, swarming in like a swarm of ants.
Ning Daoran didn't want to get entangled, and suddenly picked up the corpse of the old man in the middle stage of the Golden Core in his hand. Then his Chaos Nascent Soul let out a loud "Wow!" and activated the teleportation magic. His body appeared several miles away. After that, he teleported several times with the Nine Heavens Thunder Escape Art and left those Tribulation Cultivators nowhere to be found.
Deep in the forest, on an old tree, Ning Daoran concealed his breath and hid himself. He placed the old man's body in front of him and searched his soul.
"I see……"
After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes.
It turned out that the group of Tribulation Cultivators who tried to ambush and kill him with the Illusion Sea Turbulence Formation in Yunxi Ridge were not ordinary Tribulation Cultivators. They all came from a demonic sect called Yanluo Sect. The fleeting Nascent Soul aura that he had sensed just now was none other than Yanluo Zhenjun, the Nascent Soul ancestor of the Yanluo Sect.
This Lord Yama is hiding his head and showing his tail. He probably thinks Ning Daoran is difficult to deal with, so he simply doesn't show up. I guess he is also an old fox who can "bend and stretch".
In addition, Ning Daoran also obtained another piece of information from Elder Luo’s memory.
It is no coincidence that the Yanluo Sect is entrenched in the Yunxi Ridge area. In the recent period of time, Yanluo Zhenjun has had contact with Jing Long, the ancestor of Qiyun Tower who is drifting outside!
Although Jing Long is a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator and has a Southern Stone Turtle in the early Nascent Soul stage, he can be considered a leader in the cultivation world of Hunzhou. But now he has lost his ancestral land of Qiyun Tower, and a large number of his disciples have been killed. He has become a stray dog, and he will definitely not be willing to fall into decline.
The contact with Lord Yama must be a means of counterattack that Jing Long is planning.
"Hmph~~"
Ning Daoran smiled faintly, fortunately the dispute between the Beast Taming Sect and Qiyun Tower had nothing to do with him.
He raised his hand and shot out a fireball, which turned the body of Elder Luo of the Yanluo Sect into ashes. He blew it away with a breath, then straightened his clothes and returned to Dongming City.
…
Liuyun Mountain, inside the fifth-level spiritual cave.
Ji Ning made tea gently. During this period of time, except for the days when she was in seclusion for cultivation, she would accompany Ning Daoran. For a while, she even took away Xiaobai's job as a "maid".
Xiaobai hid in the distance, hugged his knees and watched the spiritual plants grow, but he was actually sulking.
"Senior Ning."
Ji Ning frowned slightly and said, "I heard from the cultivators on the mountain that Wuzhou, Hunzhou, and Qinzhou are in great chaos recently. The King of Lingnan of the Zhao family has decided to raise an army to fight for the world with the new emperor in the capital. The world of immortal cultivation has also been in chaos. Senior, please try to reduce going out during this period to avoid being affected."
She smiled lightly and said, "I know that Senior's cultivation is unfathomable, but... it is better to avoid any trouble that can be avoided."
"Yeah, I know."
Ning Daoran nodded and smiled without saying much.
But at this moment, a sound transmission note flew in from outside. The sound transmission note changed into the shape of a thousand paper cranes, flapping their wings and landing in front of Ning Daoran.
After sending out a wisp of magic power, Lu Wenyao's voice came from the thousand paper cranes: "Today is the Double Ninth Festival. Wenyao has placed a table of dishes on the main peak. I wonder if Senior Ning has time to come and have a gathering? Senior, please rest assured, today's banquet will only be for you and me."
Ning Daoran frowned.
Ji Ning said, "Since ancient times, there has never been a good banquet. Although Lu Wenyao is kind-hearted and much better than his father Lu Yunzhou, he has been influenced by his father since he was young. It is inevitable that he will be affected by his father's personality. Please consider whether to attend this banquet."
"Um."
Ning Daoran thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter. It doesn't hurt to go there. If I want to leave, not to mention Lu Wenyao, even if Lu Yunzhou himself comes, he can't stop me."
Ji Ning covered her mouth and chuckled: "If that's the case, then I'll be relieved."
So, Ning Daoran replied to the sound transmission talisman, and then set off at around noon, heading towards the main peak of the Beast Taming Sect.
…
"Senior Ning!"
Lu Wenyao was wearing a beige fairy dress, looking extremely beautiful. She bowed and smiled, "It's been a long time since we last met. Wenyao really missed you, Senior."
"Master Lu, you're welcome."
Ning Daoran clasped his fists and smiled.
"Please."
"Thank you!"
When the two men entered the cave, they were served by two beautiful female cultivators from the Beast Taming Sect, who poured tea and served cups for them.
As for the dishes on the table, they were not luxurious or rare, but they were made extremely delicately and with much thought.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The best one must be the spiritual wine. Although Ning Daoran is not a wine lover, he knows that the spiritual wine in front of him is very expensive after taking a sip. It is probably worth at least hundreds of spirit stones.
The Beast Taming Sect has a deep foundation, and now it has taken over most of Hunzhou, and even swallowed up all the assets of Qiyun Tower under its own name. At this time, it is truly rich and powerful! After three rounds of wine, Lu Wenyao's pretty face flushed slightly.
"Actually, this is an apology drink..."
Lu Wenyao opened her mouth slightly and finally got to the point: "Regarding the Five-Colored Deer Calling Art, Wenyao knows she is in the wrong. My father has always been overbearing and he did not consider this matter properly. Senior Ning, this glass of wine is Wenyao's apology to you. As for the Five-Colored Deer Calling Art..."
She frowned slightly and said, "I have already made a copy of the spell, but unfortunately it was taken away by my father. Wen Yao cannot make the decision on this matter for the time being. Please wait for a moment. Wen Yao will definitely give you a copy of the complete Five-Colored Deer Calling Technique."
"Sect Master Lu is thoughtful."
Ning Daoran took a deep breath, looked at the table full of food and wine, and couldn't help but smile.
"What are you laughing at, Senior Ning?"
"I laugh at myself for being too kind."
Ning Daoran raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Since Sect Master Lu invited me to drink this Chongyang wine, I might as well tell you a very important news."
"oh?"
Lu Wenyao's heart skipped a beat: "Please give me some advice, senior!"
"The forces of the Yanluo Sect have already appeared in the Yunxi Ridge area of Hunzhou. In addition, Yanluo Zhenjun and Qiyun Tower Patriarch Jinglong have had contact recently. There must be a deal between the two, and this deal must be related to Dongming City and the Beast Taming Sect."
Ning Daoran said: "I don't know much, that's all I have."
"good!"
Lu Wenyao's expression became more serious, and she said, "Wenyao knows. Thank you, Senior Ning, for informing me of this matter."
"You're welcome."
Not long after, Ning Daoran returned to the cave, and Lu Wenyao persuaded him into giving him ten jars of valuable spiritual wine.
…
In the afternoon, at the Wushen Pavilion in Dongming City.
"What?"
Lu Yunzhou was wearing armor, his blood was flowing vigorously, and he frowned and said, "How could that old man Yan Luo Zhenjun have had contact with old man Jing Long?"
"Exactly."
Lu Wenyao said: "This news is true, we should be on guard."
"Who told you this news?"
"Master Huo Yuan, Senior Ning."
"It's this person again..."
Lu Yunzhou's eyes were cold: "Wen Yao, this person came here for the Five Colored Deer Calling Art of my Beast Taming Sect. After being rejected, he still did not leave, but settled down in Dongming City. How can we trust the words of such a hawk-eyed and wolf-looking person?"
He raised his eyebrows slightly, "There is another possibility. Last time, Master Huo Yuan asked for the Five-Colored Deer Calling Art but was rejected by my father. He may have been holding a grudge because of this. Telling us this news is just to make us in the Beast Taming Sect panic. Maybe the one who really wants to plot against the Beast Taming Sect and collude with Jing Long is not Master Yan Luo, but just happens to be the Senior Ning you mentioned!"
As he spoke, Lu Yunzhou revealed a look of deep sorrow and anguish: "Wen Yao, as the leader of a sect, you are not young anymore. You should not trust others so easily. You should be doubly cautious against people like Huo Yuan Zhenjun who have eagle eyes and wolf guards!"
"Father, I..."
Lu Wenyao bit her red lips, not knowing how to argue for a moment.
"That's all."
Lu Yunzhou waved his hand and said, "I already know about this matter. You don't need to say more. I have my own way to deal with it. By the way, the envoys from the new dynasty will arrive in Dongming City soon. I have an important task to do. You should take care of the affairs of the Beast Taming Sect so that I won't be distracted."
"Yes, father!"
Lu Wen Yao slowly stepped back, feeling helpless. Her father was getting more stubborn and conceited as he got older, and he wouldn't listen to a word anyone else said anymore.
