Under normal circumstances, this thing would not pose much of a threat to cultivators.
The difficulty lies in the fact that there is a special formation set up below the dungeon to suppress the cultivator's use of power, similar to what he felt at the Cliff of Bitter Memory. The spiritual power is stagnant in the spiritual platform, barely enough to maintain vital signs and prevent complete death.
The dungeon was quite lively at this moment.
Unlike the Yiku Cliff, which stretches for miles and wouldn't be too crowded even if all the disciples of the Yuncang Sword Sect were thrown in, each cell in the border city dungeon is built to be quite small, just big enough for one person to lie down in.
This time, even more people were crammed in.
There were demonic cultivators who unfortunately caused trouble at such a sensitive time, and there were also righteous cultivators who were simply unlucky enough to be caught by the border guards and did nothing but take a stroll.
The noise was like being in a bustling market, incredibly noisy.
"Ning Weisheng?" A prisoner locked in the opposite cell suddenly spoke up.
"You must be Senior Brother Ning from the Yun Cang Sword Sect?"
The man got up from the ground, bent over in front of the door, and peered at him through the railing.
Ning Weisheng looked up and carefully examined the face of the person opposite him.
He didn't recognize this person, and he wasn't wearing any clothing that indicated his sect; he looked like a rogue cultivator.
"It's me." He nodded thoughtfully. "How so?"
"Senior Brother Ning, are you here to see your chief disciple, Ji Mofan?" The stranger suddenly became interested and leaned on the railing to talk to him.
“I also came to find him!” Even though Ning Weisheng didn’t seem to have much desire to talk to him, the man continued to speak enthusiastically.
Ning Weisheng's mood was not very pleasant upon hearing this.
Where on earth did Senior Brother attract so many random acquaintances?
This person's attitude was clearly unusual. He went to great lengths to find the Demon Realm for Ji Mo Fan. Even if he wasn't completely devoted to him, he was definitely not just a casual acquaintance.
For a moment, Ning Weisheng even had a subtle, dark thought that he shouldn't have had: he really didn't want the person in front of him to come into contact with Ji Mofan.
But the negative emotions only lasted for a moment; he quickly pinched himself and broke free from them.
Oh no, how could he have such a thought?
It's clearly a good thing that more people are coming to help when the eldest brother is in danger.
Unlike Li Geyue, who was oblivious to her own condition, Ning Weisheng quickly realized that something was wrong with her.
I suspect that, without his knowledge, a demon has already quietly begun to grow in his heart.
Moreover, it all stemmed from his feelings for Ji Mofan, which had never received much response.
It's probably because the body's spiritual power is being suppressed that the inner demons have found an opportunity to sneak out and cause trouble.
Ning Weisheng couldn't help but press his spiritual altar.
If he were to follow his master's instructions, he should immediately cut off any thoughts he shouldn't have, just like when he first realized this feeling, and plunge into the Cliff of Remembrance to reflect on his actions.
But he rarely had any rebellious thoughts.
So what if you have inner demons? There's more than one way to deal with them.
Avoiding the situation is certainly the simplest approach, but what if the same situation happens again next time?
The path of cultivation is still long, and he cannot keep escaping reality.
It's hard to say whether Ning Weisheng's long list of thoughts is just a high-sounding excuse for his outrageous behavior. After all, it doesn't seem like his relationship with Ji Mofan can be easily repaired to the level he desires in the short term.
But that's alright, for those who cultivate immortality, time is the one thing they have in abundance.
"Senior Brother Ning?" The unfamiliar righteous cultivator opposite him couldn't help but call out to him when he saw him in a daze.
Ning Weisheng belatedly came to her senses and looked up at him. "You just said that Senior Brother saved you once?"
The young man nodded several times like he was scooping rice. “My savior is in trouble, how can I stand idly by? Of course I have to lend a helping hand.”
"I just didn't expect that before we even found him, he'd be locked up in this godforsaken place." His back, which had been straight just moments before, slumped over in frustration.
Ning Weisheng couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.
Although his words were quite impassioned and moving...
But this person's strength seems to be only at the Foundation Establishment stage, doesn't it?
A Foundation Establishment cultivator barged into the Demon Realm, claiming he wanted to save another Nascent Soul cultivator from dire straits.
This story sounds unbelievable, and one doesn't know whether to praise his courage and friendship or criticize his recklessness and stupidity.
He possessed the strength of the Foundation Establishment stage, and it was clear that he had only recently broken through. Unlike Miao Miao, who was a demonic cultivator, he was a local and also quite experienced in terms of age.
The person in front of me clearly hadn't experienced much hardship in the cultivation world; he exuded youthfulness.
There's nothing more to it than this: something unusual is bound to happen.
But then I looked again into that person's clear, foolish eyes as they looked at me...
"Where did you meet our senior brother?" Ning Weisheng asked.
"It was more than a month ago, in the Shallow Ocean Secret Realm!" the man answered fluently.
Ning Weisheng frowned slightly.
It seems that it's true that he met his senior brother.
The Shallow Ocean Secret Realm is a low-level secret realm. With Ji Mo Fan's strength, he wouldn't have been able to pass through the secret realm's teleportation array ten years ago.
Moreover, it would have been a complete waste of time in the past; even if someone were to fabricate a story, they wouldn't choose such an odd place.
But the place he mentioned happened to be here, which provides further evidence.
During that period, Ji Mo Fan was indeed in the secret realm training with his disciple, using a magical artifact that could deceive the secret realm's formation.
It is highly credible.
But this does not mean that Ning Weisheng will give up his suspicions about this person.
"But your cultivation is only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Aren't you worried that if you rush in recklessly, you won't be able to help and might even get yourself killed?" he asked.
"The chief saved my life, so my life belongs to him. What does it matter if I lose it for him?" the man said with an air of righteous indignation.
"Moreover, if it weren't for him, my cultivation level would probably still be stuck at the Qi Refining stage."
"It was the time he saved me that allowed me to find an opportunity in the secret realm and break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in one fell swoop!"
Ning Weisheng: ......
Is this something to be proud of?
Regardless of what exactly happened when the senior brother saved people, he dared to say that even Ji Mofan himself, upon seeing someone so desperately trying to save him, would frown and say, "It's unnecessary."
What does it matter if he loses his life? If they hadn't come up with the idea of stirring up trouble in the border town and then breaking out in the chaos, even if this person had disappeared silently from this dungeon, Ji Mofan would never have known that such a person existed.
Wait, no, no, if his previous guess was correct, this person had other plans, then could it be that he also guessed the decision that Li Jinchu would make?
hiss......
Could someone who looks so honest and unassuming really have such a deep mind?
