Full level of enlightenment: I achieved Daozu by ascending to the lower realm

"That's because you're too naive, not because I'm trying to lie to you."

The middle-aged man shrugged, giving off a harmless appearance.

"Haha, yes, I've never seen such a stupid person before."

“Kill them.”

"..."

The men in black behind him began to shout and yell in unison.

They all acted arrogantly, completely disregarding them.

"Kid, you saw it too, all my brothers are going to take your lives."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony, otherwise it wouldn't be right for the brothers to have come all this way for nothing."

The middle-aged man deliberately feigned helplessness and said with a smile.

"My lord, that young lady can be left to us."

"Yes, we love such a beautiful young lady the most."

"..."

Then the others started shouting again.

All eyes were lecherously fixed on Xu Qingqiu.

"Don't even think about it."

"I would rather die than let you succeed."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingqiu said angrily.

"That's not up to you. Even if you die, there will still be your body."

"And your soul, none of them will escape!"

The middle-aged man said smugly, "Otherwise, wouldn't we have come for nothing?"

"Oh? You're so confident you can kill me?"

Ning Qi looked at the crowd in front of him and asked with a smile.

"So, what do you think?"

The middle-aged man glanced at Ning Qi and said disdainfully, "You think you can escape from our grasp?"

"Let me tell you, in this realm, apart from the elders of the Myriad Swords Sect joining forces, or your sect leader coming directly."

"Otherwise, no one can hurt us."

"Oh? Is that so? Then let's make a bet."

"Can I kill you in one move?"

Ning Qi looked at him and said with a smile, "If I succeed, then you will all be my dogs."

"If I can't do it, then we'll let you do whatever you want with us, okay?"

"Ning Qi, you go quickly, don't worry about us!"

Xu Qingqiu quickly replied.

She knew very well that Ning Qi had a way to leave, but he stayed for their sake.

"don’t worry."

Hearing her say that, Ning Qi turned his head and said with a smile, "I'll be fine."

"Yes, Miss Xu, you don't need to worry. They are no match for my master."

Yao Ling also secretly spoke to Xu Qingqiu.

Even so, she still looked worried.

"Junior sister, let's go first."

Gao Yunze had just been thrown over there like trash.

Seeing that Ning Qi had already attracted their attention, he then spoke to Xu Qingqiu.

"Get out of here."

Xu Qingqiu glared at him: "If it weren't for you, we would have had plenty of opportunities to leave!"

"Do you know why I don't like you? It's because you're such a loser."

"If it weren't for your father's relationship with the sect leader that you were accepted as a disciple by the elders, you wouldn't even be an outer disciple."

Her words filled Gao Yunze with shame.

Because what she said was true.

For a moment, he stood there, speechless.

At this moment, Ning Qi looked at the crowd in front of him and continued, "So, how about it, dare to make a bet?"

"Oh? What's there to be afraid of!"

"I'll give you three moves first!"

The middle-aged man laughed immediately upon hearing this.

"No need, let's each take one move."

"You go first."

Ning Qi shook his head, then said to the middle-aged man, "No cheating, or I'll go easy on you!"

"Oh? Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish!"

After hearing Ning Qi's words, the middle-aged man continued, "Prepare to die."

As he spoke, his aura suddenly exploded forth.

The power of a mid-stage Celestial Immortal erupted, leaving Xu Qingqiu feeling hopeless.

Her strength and aura are on par with her master's.

No wonder he's so arrogant.

For the sake of a branch stronghold, they've produced such a master; it seems they really intend to wipe out everyone here.

"call!"

Ning Qi took a deep breath and then focused his attention on the middle-aged man in front of him.

In his eyes, it was as if he were moving in slow motion.

The iron fist was already at his chest in the blink of an eye.

Ning Qi neither dodged nor evaded, but simply took his punch head-on.

"boom!"

Ning Qi could have escaped unscathed from that punch.

However, Ning Qi deliberately let out a sigh of relief as he threw his punch.

Let him hit him right in the chest.

He even deliberately flew backward.

It crashed heavily against the cliff face and tumbled down with a pile of rubble.

"Haha, this won't work!"

"This kid has gone too far."

"I thought it was something special!"

"..."

A group of men in black began to mock them.

"Ning Qi!"

Upon seeing this, Xu Qingqiu immediately rushed towards the stone pile without hesitation.

Those eyes were already full of calculation.

"Splash."

However, just as she rushed over, the stone pile actually moved.

Ning Qi pushed the stone off him with his hands.

Then he crawled out of the pile of stones in a disheveled state.

"spit!"

He even spat a mouthful of blood onto the ground.

He shook his body vigorously and rubbed his chest hard.

Only then did I recover.

"Ning Qi, how are you?"

Xu Qingqiu rushed over and looked at him with concern, asking.

"Don't worry, I did it on purpose."

Ning Qi spoke to Xu Qingqiu using his divine soul.

"What? You're not kidding me, are you?"

Xu Qingqiu frowned upon hearing his words.

"Don't worry, just wait and see."

After saying this without revealing his thoughts, Ning Qi continued walking forward.

They soon arrived at the middle-aged man's place.

"Kid, not bad, you're still alive."

The middle-aged man didn't notice anything amiss.

He simply looked at Ning Qi indifferently, as if he were looking at a dead man.

"Yes, it almost didn't make it."

Ning Qi sighed, then continued, "In that case, it's my turn. Are you ready?"

"You can come anytime."

The middle-aged man even beckoned to Ning Qi with his finger.

He always seemed completely indifferent.

In his view, Ning Qi was simply at his last gasp.

He might have had the ability to fight back, but he was just seriously injured.

Even if he attacks now, he won't be able to use the full force he had just displayed.

"Okay, here I come!"

Ning Qi nodded, then smiled and offered a reminder.

He then charged directly towards the middle-aged man.

"call!"

As a gust of wind blew by.

Ning Qi walked up to the middle-aged man as if he were taking a leisurely stroll. Then he reached out and punched him in the chest.

The middle-aged man almost laughed when he saw the man's completely unfazed punch.

Just as Ning Qi's fist was about to slam into his chest, he suddenly exerted force.

"puff!"

Then, with just one punch, he pierced through the middle-aged man's chest.

"Uh……"

The middle-aged man was pierced through the chest and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Ning Qi then withdrew his hand and looked coldly at the middle-aged man: "What's wrong? So easily beaten?"

"you you……"

The middle-aged man looked at Ning Qi in surprise: "You are a peak Celestial Immortal expert."

"Is it too late to realize this now?"

Ning Qi smiled impassively, then continued sarcastically, "Now, prepare to die."

He held back, took out the Chaos Sword, and with one stroke, severed the middle-aged man's head.

"Gurgle."

Then it rolled off the ground.

Middle-aged people die without ever knowing what happened.

Do not look down.

His men were all stunned when they saw this.

"How could that be? He's already been afflicted by our evil influence."

"Yes, and he was seriously injured by the adults."

"..."

Everyone looked on in surprise, staring at the scene before them in disbelief.

"Next, it's your turn."

Ning Qi coldly turned his gaze to the men in black present.

Then it suddenly exerted its strength, like a ferocious beast pouncing on its prey.

It transformed into a whirlwind, flashing back and forth among the men in black.

"what!"

"puff!"

"..."

As he made his move, screams of agony filled the air.

Many people were killed before they even realized what was happening.

Each of them wore an expression of unfulfilled grief.

"it is good!"

After he had dealt with most of the people here, Gao Yunze clapped his hands.

"Ning Qi, you're amazing!"

Xu Qingqiu also encouraged him.

Meanwhile, Ning Qi had already killed them all in the blink of an eye, leaving only one person alive.

The man in black looked at Ning Qi in alarm.

"Don't come any closer, I have evil energy."

Seeing Ning Qi walking towards him, he quickly said.

"Haven't you noticed that this evil energy has no effect on me?"

Ning Qi sneered, walked up to him, and said, "I only have one question for you: who sent you?"

"Why are you targeting the people here?"

"You won't find out!"

The man in black also looked resolute.

"Did you think I would kill you easily?"

Ning Qi looked coldly at the person in front of him, and then said, "You won't be as lucky as them, being able to be killed by me directly."

"If you don't tell me, I'll keep you hidden away and refine you every day."

"Until your soul is completely refined."

"Do you think I'm easily scared? Come on if you dare."

The man in black showed no fear.

"Fine, then prepare to die!"

Ning Qi showed no mercy and immediately took action.

The man in black didn't even see how he made his move before he felt himself being completely imprisoned.

It was completely impossible to move.

The next moment, Xu Qingqiu saw Ning Qi holding a bronze mirror, which captured the man in black.

"Ning Qi, is he dead?"

Xu Qingqiu then walked over and asked curiously.

"No, I'll keep it and refine it slowly."

"However, I can refine his soul first to see if I can find any useful information."

Ning Qi thought for a moment, then probed the bronze mirror with his divine sense.

However, something unexpected happened to him.

The man in black from before is nowhere to be seen.

Just like the previous women, they all disappeared after he let them in.

"How about it?"

Xu Qingqiu waited a while, then asked curiously.

"Strange, where did it go? I haven't even refined it yet."

Ning Qi came to his senses and said with some confusion.

"Huh? It wasn't swallowed up by your bronze mirror, was it?"

Xu Qingqiu asked in confusion after hearing what he said.

"I don't know, I'll check it out later."

Ning Qi shook his head, then continued, "Ask your senior brother what exactly happened."

"Yeah, what happened?"

Xu Qingqiu asked curiously as well.

“I bribed the disciple who issued the flying boat, so I knew you were coming here.”

"Then I came ahead of schedule, but when I got here, I found that this was the situation."

"Then I originally planned to send the message out, but unfortunately I was taken over by the men in black."

"He also asked me to lure the other disciples over..."

Gao Yunze began to tell Xu Qingqiu about his experiences over the past two days.

"I see. Do you know where they came from and what their purpose is?"

Xu Qingqiu nodded, then asked curiously, "I wonder what happened. We need to tell the sect about this and have them send someone to investigate."

"This is a serious matter. These treacherous people are no longer our kind."

"Their infiltration here could have disastrous consequences. We must notify the sect as soon as possible and prepare for defense!"

Xu Qingqiu nodded again, his expression solemn, and said, "Ning Qi, we owe you a lot this time, otherwise this news would not have been able to get out."

"You and he go back first."

"I feel that things here are not so simple. I'll stay and see how things go."

Ning Qi looked at the two of them and then said, "Otherwise, if they were to come back, no one here would be their match."

"Okay, let's go back first!"

Xu Qingqiu nodded, then looked at Gao Yunze and asked, "Did you bring your master's golden boat?"

"Yes, junior sister, how did you know?"

Gao Yunze asked curiously.

"I saw you a long time ago."

"Give it to us, let's hurry back!"

Xu Qingqiu glared at him and said irritably.

"well!"

Gao Yunze readily agreed and then took out his golden boat.

After being enlarged in place, it was propelled into the air.

"Ning Qi, we'll be going now. Be careful!"

Xu Qingqiu looked down at Ning Qi and waved vigorously at him.

"Alright, you can go now!"

Ning Qi nodded, then continued, "Remember to come along; our departure date is approaching."

"Understood, we're leaving!"

Xu Qingqiu nodded, then gestured for Gao Yunze to leave.

"Master, aren't we meddling in other people's business?"

Watching them fly away, Yao Ling couldn't help but ask, "This is all a thankless task. If we offend them and they take notice of us and follow us to the True Martial Spirit Realm, wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?"

"This matter needs to be resolved eventually, if they infiltrate from here."

"Then won't we, the people in the outer lower realms, also suffer sooner or later?"

Ning Qi glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "We need to look at the long term, not just focus on what's in front of us!"

“Master, you are so thoughtful. I didn’t even think of all that.”

Yao Ling suddenly understood after hearing what he said.

"Alright, let's find a quiet place first."

"Let me see what's wrong with this bronze mirror."

Ning Qi looked around and said in a deep voice. (End of Chapter)
