Chapter 123
He went further and kissed the corner of her lips.
Ning Chen glanced at Xie Tingyun's expression and couldn't help but pinch his brows.
He didn't expect this matter to become so complicated.
Ning Chen walked up to the leader of the Liuyun Sect for the first time in front of all the Liuyun Sect disciples, then stood in front of him and said in confusion: "Old man, why bother? There is a ready-made Demon Heart here, and you have caused so many troubles and sacrificed so many lives in vain, but you still can't find the Demon Heart. I will still die. You have wasted so many lives. Are you sick?"
“…”
"Old man, you haven't been completely transformed into a demon yet. I can save some of your remaining life by my help." Ning Chen's cold and ruthless attitude was out of tune with the people in Pu Tang, as if the person he was talking about dying was not himself: "Just follow the script and don't do these weird things."
Dao Ling laughed. He was not so angry anymore. Perhaps it was because he had healed his old wounds. The short return to the peak made Dao Ling feel much better. He raised a finger towards Ning Chen and said, "Yi, who are you? You are the head of the human race's deadly enemy for generations. We are enemies from birth."
Dao Ling said: "Second, just because you love my disciple Tingyun doesn't mean you will show mercy to his master, fellow apprentices and fellow tribesmen. With the style of your demon tribe, if you encounter such a thing, you will most likely choose to save only Tingyun. When it's time to attack the human race, you will still attack. At most, because Tingyun is sad, the demons will leave a few of their own tribe alive."
Ning Shen was silent.
Dao Ling added: "Third, even if you are willing to betray your own race, we can't just stand there and do nothing, waiting for you, a demon, to save us."
At some point, the sky darkened and was covered with lead clouds. Ning Shen could already hear the sounds of killing.
The Demon Realm was in turmoil, and the news of the impending dispatch of troops had been around for some time and could no longer be concealed.
Dao Ling waved his sleeves leisurely, picked up his wooden staff, raised it forward, tapped Ning Shen's heart, and said, "The demon world is about to attack. If you, a dignified demon lord, really help Liuyun Sect to beat back your people, can you still go back?"
Ning Chen snorted coldly, and the demonic energy in his hand suddenly exploded.
This move surprised everyone.
The devil's breath exploded in the air and dissipated into a dark mist. The monks naturally had no good feelings towards the devil's breath and took a few steps back.
Fortunately, the evil aura in the air dissipated completely in a short while. No one paid attention to this episode and just thought it was Ning Chen's trick to scare Dao Ling.
Only Daoming noticed that at the moment when the dark mist exploded, a demonic aura silently penetrated into the Taoist wooden staff through his hidden angle of vision.
His pupils shrank slightly, and he subconsciously looked in the direction of Ning Chen, but Ning Chen had already turned his head away and glanced at Xie Tingyun.
Ning Chen said, "Okay, I thought you could be so good to Tingyun. I was the only one who died, and he still had his master. Now I am dead, and his master and uncle will also die. You are so good to your disciple, no wonder Tingyun doesn't get close to you."
Dao Ling: “…”
Dao Ling angrily said: "You know nothing!"
Xie Tingyun took a deep breath and said in a quiet and hoarse voice, "Okay. I'll think of a solution."
Ning Chen lowered his eyes and looked at Xie Tingyun, saying: "Formed magic patterns are not like this. Their demonization is not thorough at all. The old thing is now just a human cultivator mixed with demonic energy. He temporarily improves his strength by using the fallen demon to consume his lifespan in advance. The more demonic energy he uses now, the faster his lifespan will be consumed. Don't you understand it now?"
"A true fallen demon is not so harmless."
Xie Tingyun fell into the devil's ways, and even his spiritual roots wanted to completely transform him into a demon. Fortunately, Ning Chen stopped him in time, so he had a chance to be saved.
Even so, the damage done to Xie Tingyun's body by that incomplete fall from the devil was still immeasurable. Just that one time, the pills used to cure Xie Tingyun almost used up all the points Ning Chen had saved from completing missions.
Ning Chen's points, which were once abundant, suddenly returned to the level before liberation, and now there are only a dozen points left in his account.
Xie Tingyun froze, and turned to Ning Chen with a somewhat stiff movement: "You, you mean..."
At this time, a disciple came to report: "Master, the villagers at the foot of the mountain have been properly resettled, and Liuyun Sect has set up traps within a hundred miles. In about a quarter of an hour, the demon army will enter the Liuyun Sect's jurisdiction. Please ask for the next step, Master."
Ning Chen raised his eyes and scanned the expressions of the disciples in Pu Tang, and roughly understood what was going on.
All the disciples remained silent in unison.
Dao Ling brushed the hem of his robe, and the wooden staff in his hand shone brightly.
When he walked past Ning Chen, he raised his cane and unexpectedly smashed it down on Ning Chen's foot.
Then there was the sound of the wooden stick hitting an extremely hard object.
Ning Chen did not lower his head, retracted his magic aura, and said coldly: "If it happens again, don't blame me for breaking your broken cane."
Dao Ling's expression remained unchanged and he walked out without looking back.
In order to prevent the two from fighting in front of the enemy, Xie Tingyun lagged behind Daoling, then pulled Ning Chen to his side and whispered to comfort him: "My master has a strange temper. Don't bother with him. Just ignore him."
Dao Ling said unhappily, "You shouldn't slander your master like that, right, Tingyun? Who has the weird temper? Do you dare to tell the truth?"
Ning Chen's finger bones were cracked by the pinch. Xie Tingyun held Ning Chen's hand, and under the cover of his hanging sleeves, he passed his fingers through Ning Chen's fingers, interlocked theirs, and said with a headache: "Shut up, please."
“…”
Ning Chen calmly tightened the hand that was held by Xie Tingyun, hummed softly, and then he calmed down.
The Canglang and Canaan tribes remained on hold, but this expedition mobilized most of the elite troops in the Demon Realm. Except for Ning Chen's men and the old, weak and sick from various tribes, the participation rate of high-level demons above the Yuanying stage was almost 90%.
This means that in this attack on the world of cultivation, almost all the demons in the Demon Realm came out in full force.
Among the demon forces that were sent to contain Liuyun Sect, Ning Chen took a quick look and saw seven Mahayana demons, dozens of demons in the Out-of-Immortality stage, nearly a hundred demons in the Void Stage, and countless Yuanying and Jindan remaining.
This combat force configuration is really luxurious. Okay, are they moving a large force here to contain the Liuyun Sect?
All the disciples who came out to fight could hardly believe their eyes.
There is a clear distinction between the human world and the demon world. They will not go to the demon world unless necessary, just like the demons will not come to the world of cultivation unless necessary.
Therefore, this was probably the first time that many disciples saw so many high-level demons gathered together.
Since ancient times, the human race has had a total of four spiritual veins, one of which was polluted and taken away by the demons. Now there are only three left, which are guarded by the three major sects in the world of cultivation.
Although Dao Ling was in the Mahayana realm before he fell into the devil's trap, he managed to not fall out of the Mahayana realm because of centuries of old injuries.
Now that he has fallen into the devil's way, his strength has not decreased but increased, and he has almost reached the edge of the Nirvana Realm. With the addition of Xie Tingyun who can advance to the Nirvana Realm at any time, and Daoming and Daoxin, two Mahayana fallen demon cultivators, four against seven, they should be able to do just fine.
If Ning Shen was willing to take action, they would feel a little more relaxed.
Ning Chen frowned: "Is your master already got the news?"
Xie Tingyun was silent for a while, then said, "It should be."
Dao Ling took off his heavy patriarch's outer robe, loosened his muscles, tapped the ground lightly with the wooden stick in his hand, and said, "Boy, do you think everyone is like you, only knowing how to make a fuss on a wedding?"
Ning Chen frowned and asked, "What about other sects?"
The seven great demons are not the entire strength of the Demon Realm.
Ning Chen even saw the logo of the Black Tide Tribe among the demon army on the side of Liuyun Sect.
Without the intelligence of cooperation from other sects, it would be difficult for them to win given their already disadvantageous situation.
"There are five Mahayana masters from the Shili Sect and six Mahayana masters from the Xuanyuan Sect. However, the deputy leader of the Shili Sect died yesterday because his time had come to an end." Dao Ling smiled and said, "... we can only pray for the best."
Ning Chen drew out Bu Nian, and the tip of the knife lightly brushed against Cheng Feng's sword. He said in a low voice: "I will take four, Ting Yun will take two, and the remaining one can be anyone you want. The old man will take care of it himself."
The demon army entered the range of the trap formation, and flashes of light and splashes of blood appeared on the ground where they stepped.
Amidst the blood, Ning Chen and the current leader of the Black Tide made eye contact.
Xie Tingyun naturally refused to agree. He grabbed Ning Chen and was about to speak when Ning Chen turned around and kissed Xie Tingyun on the cheek in front of everyone from both tribes.
Xie Tingyun froze, his pupils dilated, as if he had not expected Ning Chen to do such an intimate thing in front of so many people.
In fact, Ning Chen didn't care about other people's eyes at all. He said lazily: "If you want to share it with me, you might as well just kill into the demon army and advance on the spot. The purple sky thunder of the Silence Realm alone is enough for them to drink a pot of it."
Xie Tingyun raised his hand to cover the side of his face: "..."
Xie Tingyun sighed and explained, "It's not possible to advance on the spot. Who wouldn't dodge when seeing the thunder tribulation..."
"I know I can't," Ning Chen interrupted, "I just made up an excuse to kiss you."
“…”
The formation within a hundred miles consumed a wave of demon soldiers. When only one third of the outer formation was left, Ning Chen turned the knife in his hand, then held it tightly and aimed it at the current leader of the Black Tide who was staring at the demon army from a distance.
Ning Chen nodded confidently: "So, please go to the Silent Realm and come back to discuss the matter of splitting the property with me."
Xie Tingyun said calmly: "I disagree. Even if you cross the realm, you can't restrain the four great demons..."
Ning Chen turned his head again and kissed Xie Tingyun.
This time he didn't kiss the side of her cheek, but went a step further and kissed the corner of her lips.
Xie Tingyun: "..."
Dao Ling: “…”
The other disciples who were watching opened their mouths wide: "..."
Dao Ling was furious and raised his wooden staff to hit Ning Chen on the head, but was quickly held back by the disciples behind him.
Ning Chen turned his head and glanced at Dao Ling, and said innocently: "I don't mean anything else. I just want to tell the demons over there whose side I stand on. You old man, you don't mind this, do you?"
Dao Ling: “…”
Dao Lingqi De Qixue was so angry that he said, "You frivolous scoundrel, bah! You just want to flirt with my disciple and take advantage of him because he's easy to deceive!?"
Xie Tingyun: "...Master, stop talking!!"
