It seems that his recent advancement speed has been a bit too fast. He became a Nascent Soul cultivator after just one trip to the Demon Realm. If we disregard his age, Tian Ning's cultivation level is high enough to make him a junior elder.
Tian Ning quickly adapted to his powerful strength.
In the past, people would look down on her first, and then get a good beating from her. I've rarely seen someone turn around and run away like this.
"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist!" The middle-aged male cultivator who was leading the group had fainted and was being treated by a Dan cultivator. The second-in-command of the group came over to express his gratitude.
Tian Ning said he was just passing by and happened to run into them while looking for someone.
Tianning asked if she had heard any news about cultivators from the Eastern Continent recently. She had gotten separated from her fellow disciples for some reason and was looking for them everywhere.
The second-in-command was a meticulous female cultivator named Xuan Yun. She breathed a sigh of relief after learning that Tian Ning was not from the Western Continent.
She said, "Fellow Daoist, we are the team responsible for transporting the Mermaid's Tears. We have been away from the main city for some time and are not aware of the situation of the senior brothers and sisters you mentioned."
She spoke truthfully, and seeing Tian Ning's disappointed expression, she continued, "If Fellow Daoist Tian is willing, you can come into the city with us and keep us company. We know some people in the city who can help you inquire about the whereabouts of your senior brothers and sisters."
Xuan Yun said this not simply to thank Tian Ning for his help earlier. Mermaid tears are rare items and always attract covetousness, just like those people earlier.
Tianning was someone of unknown origin whom they needed to be wary of. However, given the heavy casualties they had suffered in the previous battle, if they encountered further trouble on the way, not only would they be unable to deliver the goods, but half of their men might also lose their lives.
In this situation, the benefits of Tianning joining would far outweigh the drawbacks.
Tian Ning didn't care about Xuan Yun's plans. She was just wondering if this matter was related to mermaids. If she remembered correctly, she had seen a mermaid at the auction in the Western Continent last time.
But there's no use in thinking too much. Anyway, if she doesn't cause trouble, trouble will come to her on its own.
I wonder if there are any time travelers left in this region of the Western Continent?
The old man said that a time traveler was struck by lightning and sent back to the source, which is very strange. Did the time traveler want to die on his own? Or... was it done by someone?
Tianning really wanted to pry open the old man's little head to see the answer, but unfortunately she couldn't.
Unable to figure it out, Tianning simply gave up on the problem and started looking for food in the mustard seed bag.
We just finished dealing with that huge mess in the Demon Realm, so we should let people catch their breath and get through this. We can't afford to have another big one.
Along the way, Tianning prepared a lot of delicious food for herself, and she ate from beginning to end without stopping.
Xuan Yun and her group were all amazed by her appetite.
Although the road into the city wasn't long, it took a whole day to successfully enter the city because there were too many injured people in the group.
During this time, Tianning enthusiastically provided medicine and assistance, and became quite familiar with the team.
Upon arriving in the city, Xuan Yun instructed several clever young cultivators to gather information for Tian Ning. Just as she finished giving the order, people from the Ten Great Families and the Four Holy Temples arrived. The middle-aged male cultivator leading the group followed these people into the room where the barrier was set up, and only came out after distributing the contents of the mustard seed bag.
During this time, Tianning and Xuanyun were chatting when they saw a beautiful woman accompanying a young master from one of the ten great families suddenly convulse and fall to the ground as if she had a seizure. The servants immediately ran over and fetched a bucket of water to pour on the woman.
Soon, the woman's legs transformed into a brown fishtail in front of everyone.
Tianning had never seen anything like this before and instinctively asked, "How come a mermaid is here?"
The others on the Western continent seemed unsurprised.
The servant who had splashed the water hurriedly ordered the mermaid to be carried away, then anxiously muttered to the young master, "Young master, the master ordered us not to cause trouble. If word gets out, it will damage the Gongsun family's reputation!"
