Chapter 341 Return to Spark Island
The sky was a silent black. Ning Mingmei knew without even looking up that since Wuwei had brought Mingqi here, it meant that she already knew that Ning Mingmei knew everything.
At the same time, she lowered the barrier. It's hard to say that she didn't have the intention to silence him at this moment.
But Ning Mingmei always felt that Wuwei had something to say.
Wuwei looked at Ning Mingmei. In a corner where she couldn't see, Chang Qing suddenly reached out and held Ning Mingmei's hand. A warm current flowed from his body to Ning Mingmei, and Ning Mingmei was startled.
That is... Chang Qing’s cultivation.
"Master Wuwei." Ning Mingmei said, "It seems that you have already caught the man in white who escaped from the Blood Abyss? What a coincidence, I just got rid of the New Moon Sect's gangsters here. Today is really a double happiness!"
Wuwei only looked at the bustle and the sea of fire around him, and then looked at the ruins of the Flint and the Heavenly Supervisory Office: "Is the Heavenly Supervisory Office destroyed? I was the one who helped the Human Emperor find that flint. Ning Mingmei, I didn't expect you to really give me a big...surprise. You are worthy of being..."
"She and I are from the same place."
Ning Mingmei felt Chang Qing's hand suddenly tightened on his, and the speed of transmitting his cultivation power also increased. Ning Mingmei suddenly realized what Chang Qing was doing, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
The fact that Wuwei Zhenren was a woman, the lowering of the barrier, and the ancient gods thrown in front of Ning Mingmei all made Chang Qing realize that Wuwei Zhenren had ill intentions. As a Buddhist disciple of Baopu Temple, he knew many secrets of the world of immortal cultivation. Although these secrets were not enough for him to understand the whole story of Ning Mingmei and Wuwei Zhenren, he still realized a potential crisis and at least one thing he could do.
Master Wuwei lowered the barrier, perhaps to silence the witnesses. And her strength was beyond his imagination.
Even if Chang Qing was alone, it would be difficult to escape from this barrier. It was even more impossible for him to escape with Ning Mingmei.
So he chose to transfer all the cultivation he could to Ning Mingmei. He wanted to leave him the chance to escape.
The body is filled with ever-clear power. After signing the contract with Huo Zhonghuo, Ning Mingmei's physique underwent abnormal changes. For example, at this moment, he can feel that his cultivation has reached the Mahayana stage.
If Wuwei had not been there, Ning Mingmei would have been able to call himself "the best person in the world" in a short while.
But she is here, and will be a hurdle for Ning Mingmei.
How should he choose now? Should he pretend to be nice and fool her, or should he make a promise to her and tell her that he would never tell anyone about the past of Spark Island, so that she can still be the best in the world and be her legend? In addition, he can also offer Wuwei some generous conditions, such as some marketing methods and story-making techniques. Wuwei cares most about her reputation. Will she like these?
Wuwei stood in front of him, ready to chop off Ning Mingmei's head at any time. On top of that, she can chop off the heads of everyone else inside the barrier. Baimian, Changqing, Chang Feichang... these people who followed him through life and death...
Ning Mingmei looked at her and made the most unexpected choice.
"'As expected'? I am quite happy to receive such an evaluation from you, Minglong, or Yehe."
He called out Wuwei's real name in front of everyone.
Minglong's frosty face showed no avalanche or collapse. Although besides her, Su Jue, Chang Qing and others who were present also showed shocked expressions. It seems that the person in the center of the storm vortex is the only one who is not spinning.
Ning Mingmei realized that he might have an instinct to face crises. At that moment, faced with a crisis far more powerful than any he had faced in the past, he did not panic, did not break out in a cold sweat, and even his fingers did not tremble.
He was fully focused and calm, and even finally revealed a confident smile in his heart.
——He made the right bet.
If he had offered to cooperate just now, Minglong would probably have reduced everyone here to ashes in the next moment.
Perhaps even Minglong herself did not realize that she thought she came here for her own fame, but in fact, she also came here because "Ning Mingmei and Weng Xingyun came from the same place." Just like a traveler on a long journey through the snowfield will gaze at the darkness of the distant mountains. At this moment, the secret desire buried deep in her heart, which she herself dared not admit, was...
She wanted to see if Ning Mingmei and Weng Xingyun had any similarities.
Just as Weng Xingyun is a tough girl. She would go alone to a Hongmen Banquet, knowing that she could not win. At this moment, Ning Mingmei also gave an answer that hit her hidden psychology.
"It seems that you have investigated it very clearly, Ning Mingmei." Minglong raised his eyebrows, and his cold eyes showed a little more interest. "What else do you know?"
Ning Mingmei pointed to a place in the ruins with an expressionless face.
Soul-binding lamp.
The Soul-Binding Lamp was kept in a box made of some unknown material. Even though the Tianshi Temple had collapsed and such a fierce battle had taken place, it still stood quietly in the box, intact. The dim light of the soul-binding lamp still burned quietly, like a dirge in the rain in the dark night.
The moment he saw the Soul-Binding Lamp, he felt the other person's breathing freeze for a moment, and his eyes could no longer be moved away. Ning Mingmei said: "Please."
Minglong walked towards the lamp.
She put her hand on the box. With her spiritual power, she could easily see through the box and sense whether there was the soul of an old friend in the lamp. Ning Mingmei watched her from afar, but was thinking coldly in his heart, during the few tens of seconds of exploring the Soul-Binding Lamp, was she expecting that Weng Xingyun's soul had gathered, or was she afraid that Weng Xingyun's soul had gathered?
If Weng Xingyun's soul had really gathered, would she say welcome back or sorry to her, or would she disperse the soul that had just gathered again in extreme depression and fear?
Rain began to patter against the barrier. A night of fierce fighting needs such a rain. In the sound of rain, Ning Mingmei thought that God had favored Minglong again, and there was no trace of Weng Xingyun's soul in the soul-binding lamp.
Finally, Minglong put the lantern box in his hand and said to Ning Mingmei, "Ning Mingmei, let's talk."
"This is not a place to talk. There are too many people here." Ning Mingmei said, "But fortunately, I know a place that is quiet and suitable for conversation."
"where?"
"Xinghuo Island." Ning Mingmei said, "I have been there for two hundred years and I know the coordinates..."
"——Did you know?"
…
When Minglong left, he took Mingqi with him but did not remove the barriers of the palace.
Ning Mingmei followed her to the teleportation array in the palace. On the way, Ning Mingmei heard a voice in his ear: "Master, I'm here."
The voice continued, "Don't worry, Master. Minglong can't hear you."
Ning Mingmei said: "Chang Qing just gave me most of his power. If we join forces, can we defeat Ming Long?"
Lian Chengyue said: "Of course we can join forces. But the problem is, if Minglong dies, the Ten Elders Formation she set up will be broken."
"Ten Elders Formation?"
"The formation is set up with the ten elders on the ancient altar as the center. Over the years, except for the ten elders, all the late Mahayana cultivators have been killed by Minglong and put into the formation. Their cultivation provides a continuous supply of spiritual energy for the six realms and suppresses the evil creatures in the abyss. If Minglong dies, the formation will be broken, and the evil creatures in the abyss will surge up and block the Heavenly Gate. By then, even with the help of the contract you made with Fire in Fire, the spiritual energy will eventually be consumed, and Hunlun will not be burned out by the flames. By then, the six realms will still fall into chaos."
Ning Mingmei closed his eyes and said, "What's the point of letting the six realms linger like this? And just because Minglong came first and set the rules first, does that mean we can't break them?"
Lian Chengyue smiled happily: "I think so too, Master."
"We'll think of a solution when we get to Spark Island. Will you follow me into Spark Island?" Ning Mingmei said.
"I will, Master." Lian Chengyue said, "and I am ready to lend you a hand."
The altar has been filled with the required spiritual stones. Ning Mingmei asked: "Shall I input the coordinates?"
Zi, Chou, Yin and Mao are lit up. At that moment, Ning Mingmei heard Minglong say, "It has been a thousand years since I last visited this place."
Her voice was long, like smoke in the dark night.
Ning Mingmei didn't know what the future would hold. This time, all he could see in the future was a thick fog. Until a puff of black smoke touched his hand.
"Ning Mingmei, I believe you." Lian Chengyue said, "You have done many amazing things."
“…”
"I also hope you can trust me, Ning Mingmei. Just like you trust me and can destroy Black Mountain." Lian Chengyue said, "I have always been the best disciple of Master. I also want to be the one that Master trusts the most..."
"What do you trust most?" Ning Mingmei asked back.
"...people." Lian Chengyue said.
The moon is still bright over Spark Island. The lonely jade plate illuminates the entire island buried deep in history. After landing, not only Minglong looked at the island in front of him with a dazed expression, but even Ning Mingmei looked at the sky with a little surprise.
The ubiquitous black fog...actually faded.
The sky over Spark Island was surprisingly cloudless. Ning Mingmei looked towards the sea from afar and was surprised to find that the color of the water had also become lighter.
Could this be...
"The Contract of Fire in Fire." Lian Chengyue whispered in his ear, "The Contract of Fire in Fire can actually burn away Hunlun. Master, the evaluation of you in the eyes of Fire in Fire is higher than I expected."
"What……"
At this moment, the Qiankun bag that Ning Mingmei placed on his chest began to beat. This was really beyond Ning Mingmei's expectations.
Ning Mingmei quickly realized what was in this Qiankun bag.
Taking into account the need to face the Crescent Moon Cult, Ning Mingmei put the Sunshine Mushroom he brought back from Spark Island into a special Qiankun bag when he left Piaomiao Peak, intending to use it as a tool for talking nonsense. However, it was obvious that the Crescent Moon Cult had gone too far and the Sunshine Mushroom was no longer of any use. With Minglong's appearance, Ning Mingmei almost forgot about this little mushroom.
But now it seems that this mushroom has become a variable in the battle between Ning Mingmei and Minglong!
The detection equipment left by Ning Mingmei was still turning dully on the shore. Minglong walked on the white beach, looking at the endless black sea: "The evil creatures are still coveting this place and want to devour Spark Island..."
Ning Mingmei asked, "So where is the real body of the evil creature? Is it under the abyss, or in this black sea?"
"It? It's everywhere." Minglong walked and touched an instrument left by Ning Mingmei. "The senses and consciousness of the world's Hunlun are interconnected. Wherever Hunlun extends, its five senses and tentacles extend there. If you want to talk about its core, its core is under the abyss, because it covets the Heavenly Gate and wants to turn the six realms into its food."
