He Ning and Xu Ziqing were both stunned. They hadn't expected Ningxiang to sever ties with them.
"Ningxiang, aren't you being too heartless?"
He Ning frowned slightly and said calmly, "The Second Elder and I took good care of you in the past. Have you forgotten all that?"
"We attacked you just now because we were all deceived by Hongfeng!"
"And we were all just expelled from the Miaoyin Sect because you offended Hongfeng!"
"Your coldness towards us is so hurtful!"
Xu Ziqing said self-deprecatingly, "Forget it!"
"Perhaps in her mind we are no different from Hongfeng, and she will never trust us!"
"We are Celestial Emperors, after all. Why should we humiliate ourselves?"
Let's go!
"Elders, I am truly sorry! I have learned one thing in the past two years: one must always be wary of others." Ningxiang's expression was indifferent. If she weren't a peak Immortal Emperor, would these two have stood up for her just now?
She was no longer the innocent and naive Holy Maiden of the Miaoyin Sect. After following Qin Feng for the past few months, she had learned a lesson.
Human hearts are unpredictable; don't easily trust anyone.
One should not have the intention to harm others, but one must be wary of others.
It's obvious that He Ning and Xu Ziqing betrayed Hongfeng Daoist because she was a peak Immortal Emperor, hoping to obtain a method from her to quickly improve their strength.
How could she not see such an obvious intention?
He Ning and Xu Ziqing exchanged a glance, neither of them said anything more, and both turned and fled with gloomy faces.
They are all smart people. Ningxiang is no longer the Ningxiang they used to know. If they don't leave, Ningxiang will definitely turn against them.
Ningxiang watched He Ning and Xu Ziqing disappear from sight, then turned to Qin Feng and asked, "Was my approach alright?"
Qin Feng glanced at Ningxiang and said indifferently, "You're too kind!"
"If nothing unexpected happens, the news that the Immortal Execution Sword is in your hands will soon spread throughout the entire Xuan Tian Immortal Realm."
"At that time, all the Immortal Emperors of the entire Xuan Tian Immortal Realm will be watching you!"
"So if I were you, I would never allow such a thing to happen!"
Ningxiang's face turned pale. "No...it can't be that bad, can it?"
Qin Feng smiled enigmatically. "The Profound Heaven Immortal Realm is merely a mid-level realm. Unless one possesses an extraordinary fortuitous opportunity, it's utterly impossible for anyone to break through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm!"
"In other words, no matter how strong an Immortal Emperor is, he cannot dominate the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm. But it's different for an Immortal Emperor who has an Immortal Artifact!"
"Absolutely invincible in one-on-one combat!"
"Even one person could easily defeat ten of them in a one-on-one fight!"
"How many Celestial Emperors do you think would remain unmoved by a Celestial Artifact?"
Even among the Celestial Emperors, there is no shortage of ambitious individuals!
Ningxiang frowned, her expression slightly grave. "Should I chase after them now and silence them?"
Qin Feng was speechless. "Are you confident you can wipe them all out?"
Ningxiang's expression turned somewhat grim. "I...I'm not confident!"
It wasn't that she wasn't confident in taking down Hongfeng Daoren, He Ning, and Xu Ziqing, but rather that she wasn't confident in catching up with everyone.
If even one person slips through the net, the news that she possesses the Immortal Execution Sword will spread.
"Since things have come to this, let nature take its course!"
Qin Feng smiled slightly. "Let's go find a good place to cultivate in seclusion!"
"After all, your cultivation level was raised using the Emperor Realm Pill, and your combat power has not yet reached its peak!"
"It is essential to undergo rigorous training and then improve combat effectiveness through actual combat!"
Ningxiang nodded. "I'll do whatever you say!"
Qin Feng smiled helplessly. Although Ningxiang was no longer as innocent as before, she didn't seem to be very bright.
Even if they killed Red Maple Daoist and the others, the news of the Immortal Execution Sword had probably already been spread by Azure Phoenix.
This woman actually forgot something so important.
...
Qin Feng and Ningxiang left Wangyue City directly. They kept a low profile, concealing their auras and suppressing their cultivation levels to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
Although Qin Feng said he was going into seclusion to cultivate, he did not intend to stay in the Lingzhou Immortal Realm for seclusion.
More than a month later.
Qin Feng and Ning Xiang arrived at the Starry Sea, intending to find a deserted island to cultivate in seclusion.
There are many uninhabited islands in the Starry Sky Sea, and Qin Feng and Ning Xiang quickly found a suitable one.
The two created an underground cave dwelling and immediately entered a state of seclusion.
Time flies, and a year seems to have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, dark clouds suddenly gathered over the uninhabited island where Qin Feng and Ning Xiang were, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
The once calm sea suddenly turned into a raging storm with huge waves, and all the sea monsters in the vicinity were frightened away.
Ningxiang took off from the deserted island and stopped more than ten kilometers away in a flash.
After a year of secluded cultivation, Qin Feng broke through to the Immortal Emperor realm once again, attracting a tribulation of lightning.
At this moment, the tribulation clouds had already gathered and were gathering power for the tribulation lightning.
In the Lingzhou Immortal Realm, near the Starry Sea, almost all cultivators saw the tribulation clouds above the uninhabited island.
In addition, many cultivators and sea monsters were also seen in the Starry Sky Sea area.
Some Immortal King-level cultivators and Immortal Emperors who lived very close to the uninhabited island were heading towards it.
Some were just there for the spectacle, while others might have ulterior motives.
Just as Qin Feng withstood the fifth tribulation lightning, hundreds of people arrived.
Most of them are Celestial Kings, while Celestial Emperors are few and far between.
Among the Immortal Emperors, three were people Qin Feng and Ning Xiang knew: Daoist Hongfeng, He Ning, and Xu Ziqing.
When the three members of the Red Maple Daoist group saw Ningxiang not far away, their expressions changed slightly, and they subconsciously looked towards the deserted island.
If Ningxiang is here, then the person undergoing tribulation must be Qin Feng, who was by Ningxiang's side more than a year ago.
Of course, none of them knew Qin Feng's name, otherwise they would have been so frightened that they would have fled immediately.
Even if they came now, they would just run away!
Qin Feng, who was at the Immortal King Realm, had the strength to kill an Immortal Emperor, let alone Qin Feng who had just advanced to the Immortal Emperor Realm.
Not only them, but most people would be scared away if they learned Qin Feng's identity.
When Ningxiang saw the three people, including Hongfeng Daoist, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and her killing intent was not concealed in the slightest.
Red Maple Daoist's expression darkened, and he immediately took out several Thousand Mile Transmission Talismans and threw them out.
He Ning and Xu Ziqing also took out several Thousand Mile Transmission Talismans and threw them out.
They also took out a communication device; it's unclear who they were contacting.
Ningxiang's face darkened upon seeing this. If she weren't worried that taking action would affect Qin Feng's tribulation, she would have killed these three people right now.
After a while, Daoist Hongfeng, He Ning, Xu Ziqing, and three other unfamiliar Immortal Emperors gathered together, set up a soundproof barrier, and then discussed something.
Ningxiang glanced at him, her eyebrows furrowing slightly. She was worried that Daoist Hongfeng and the others were plotting to sabotage Qin Feng's tribulation.
She hesitated for a moment, then immediately took out the Immortal Execution Sword and flew to the front of Red Maple Daoist and the others, coldly saying.
"Get out of here now! Or you'll die!"
Hongfeng Daoist and the others glanced at the Zhuxian Sword in Ningxiang's hand, and their expressions changed drastically. They immediately retreated dozens of meters.
