Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 837 Entering the Fire Swamp
"Fellow Daoists, I apologize for being late."

Lady Qingxia smiled gently, then glanced at Ning Fa and her disciple with a slightly strange look, clearly noticing their unusual behavior.

Soon, she heard Jiang Xueting's telepathic message in her ear.

Madam Qingxia suddenly realized, and looked Ning Fa over again, slightly surprised, and said, "I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Ning would know Xue Ting. It's quite a coincidence."

Upon hearing this, the others also looked over in surprise.

Ning Fa smiled and said, "I encountered quite a bit of trouble in the Jinchuan Islands of the Yuheng Sea before. I was very grateful for Fellow Daoist Jiang's help back then, and I have always kept it in mind."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xueting's lips curled up, and a smile bloomed on her beautiful face.

Su Wanwan looked the two of them up and down with a strange expression.

Madam Qingxia nodded and said solemnly, "We are already getting late, let's set off first."

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand lightly, and a flying boat about ten feet long and shaped like a large blue bird appeared in a ball of light.

With three pairs of blue wings on each side, judging from the spiritual pressure emanating from it, this flying boat is definitely of extremely high grade.

The group flew up in single file, and with a whoosh, the flying boat transformed into a blinding blue light, heading east at an incredible speed.

On the flying boat, under the guidance of Madam Qingxia, the Nascent Soul cultivators exchanged pleasantries and got to know each other before each taking a spot to sit cross-legged and meditate.

Ning Fa thought to himself, it seems that it was probably because of him that the Tianyan Sect specially sent this Lady Qingxia to this array eye to enhance their strength.

He also seized the opportunity and smiled at Madam Qingxia, saying, "Fellow Daoist Qingxia, I haven't seen Fellow Daoist Jiang for a long time, and I would like to have a chat with her."

Madam Qingxia nodded with a smile: "Of course."

Then she glanced at Jiang Xueting, who was cheering, and a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes.

Meanwhile, one of the other two Core Formation stage disciples from the Tianyan Sect, a pretty female cultivator dressed in a pale yellow dress, looked at Ning Fa and the other with curiosity.

Meanwhile, another male cultivator in the mid-stage of Core Formation, carrying a long sword and with a handsome face, stared intently at Jiang Xueting's back, looking tense.

Ning Fa casually cast a soundproof spell, looked at Jiang Xueting in front of him, who was smiling sweetly and whose temperament was even better than before, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, I never expected to meet you here. Decades have passed in the blink of an eye."

Jiang Xueting pursed her red lips and said softly, "I had thought before about whether I would ever see Senior Ning again, and even thought that I might never see you again. I am really happy to see you again now."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fa was slightly shaken and looked abruptly at Jiang Xueting.

Jiang Xueting lowered her head slightly, a blush rising on her pretty face.

Ning Fajian's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

How could he not understand what the woman meant?

She was clearly making a point of revealing her feelings to me.

This really surprised Ningfa.

Actually, Ning Fa had already vaguely sensed Jiang Xueting's affection for him long before.

However, he already had Chu Nianyao at the time and was focused on forming his nascent soul, so he pretended not to see it.

Unexpectedly, when they met again, Jiang Xueting seemed to have become much bolder.

Ning Fa's eyes flickered slightly, but he changed the subject, saying, "By the way, Fellow Daoist Jiang, why did you come to the Five Spirit Sea? What exactly happened back then? Where is Nian Yao now?"

Ningfa pretended not to understand her intentions and asked about the issues he was concerned about.

Disappointment flashed in Jiang Xueting's eyes, but she concealed it well.

She said in a deep voice, "Back when the Jinchuan Islands were in turmoil, I happened to be encountering a bottleneck in my cultivation, so I went with a few fellow cultivators to a sea area to hunt monsters."

Then came the news that the Jinchang Island City Lord's Mansion had been destroyed and the entire Jinchuan Islands had been occupied by the Sikong family.

Furthermore, the Sikong family and the Dengxian Alliance issued arrest warrants for Senior Ning, Senior Chu, Senior Qi, and Senior Liang throughout the Jinchuan Islands.

That's when I realized something was terribly wrong. I tried to contact Senior Chu, but I couldn't reach him and my identity was exposed.

Left with no other choice, I had to flee to the desolate sea.

This escape lasted for several years. I dared not venture deep into the desolate sea, nor did I dare return to the Jinchuan Islands. Instead, I cultivated on a secluded island in the desolate sea.

Later, I happened to run into my master who happened to be passing by, and he rescued me from there and took me as his disciple. Finally, I came to the Five Spirit Sea and joined the Tianyan Sect.

Therefore, I don't know anything about Senior Chu's current situation.

Ning Fa suddenly realized that this was the situation; no wonder Jiang Xueting wasn't with Chu Nianyao.

At this moment, Jiang Xueting changed her tone and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Senior Ning, I was previously accepted as a disciple by Senior Chu, but later..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ning Fa interrupted her, saying, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, you don't need to take it to heart."

Even if I were in that situation, I would make the same choice.

And to be honest, the reason you're wanted is because of me.

So I'm already very happy to see you safe and sound.

Ning Fa sighed inwardly.

To be honest, the reason Chu Nianyao took Jiang Xueting as his disciple was not because he valued Jiang Xueting, but because he didn't want Jiang Xueting to stay by his side any longer.

Moreover, Jiang Xueting's opportunities were truly remarkable.

Not only did he encounter Lady Qingxia of the Tianyan Sect in the vast wilderness, but he was also chosen by her to become her disciple.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xueting breathed a sigh of relief. Then, as if gathering her courage, she continued, "Senior Ning, I just heard that you seem to be the Supreme Elder of the Wangyue Sect now."

And it's quite a coincidence that I happen to be good friends with Fellow Daoist Su Yu of your sect.

"Next time I go to see Su Yu, may I also stop by to see you?"

A strange look flashed in Ning Fa's eyes.

Jiang Xueting doesn't seem to have given up.

But all he could do was smile and say, "Of course."

Upon hearing Ning Fa's agreement, Jiang Xueting, who looked somewhat nervous, immediately gave Ning Fa a sweet smile before returning to Madam Qingxia's side.

At this moment, Su Wanwan came over and transmitted her thoughts through divine sense: "Fellow Daoist Ning is really quite lucky with women."

Judging from the looks of this beautiful young Core Formation cultivator, it seems she has secretly fallen for you.

Moreover, I've heard that Luo Feixuan of the Wangyue Sect is a rare beauty. Could she also be your confidante?

Otherwise, why would you choose the Moon Gazing Sect when there are so many other sects to join?

Tsk tsk, I really don't know whether to call you fickle or just sentimental.

Ning Fa glanced at her secretly, and for some reason, he felt that Su Wanwan's tone was a little sour.

He immediately retorted with a laugh, "What, are you envious of them? If you want to be my confidante, I can barely accept it."

After saying that, he glanced at Su Wanwan's alluring cherry lips and her exquisite figure, clearly reminding her of what had happened before.

Su Wanwan's pretty face immediately turned red. She glared at him fiercely and quickly looked away.

Ning Fa couldn't help but laugh. With such limited skills, he dared to talk about me.

The airship continued its journey, and after about a day, Ningfa, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, suddenly got up and looked ahead.

A dazzling burst of fire appeared on the horizon ahead, and at the same time, a wave of heat swept over us, causing the surrounding temperature to rise rapidly.

Ning Fa's eyes flashed, knowing that they should be close to the Heavenly Melting Fire Swamp.

The others also stood up and looked ahead, their expressions all slightly solemn.

About two hours later, the flying boat finally approached the Heavenly Melting Fire Swamp.

Looking around, all that could be seen was rolling waves of fire.

A burning sensation came over him, and even Ning Fa felt a slight burning sensation.

The other Nascent Soul cultivators also changed their expressions, clearly feeling unwell as well, while the Core Formation cultivators were sweating profusely.

At this moment, Madam Qingxia pointed her delicate hand, and a layer of blue light rose from the flying boat, and the burning sensation disappeared.

Ning Fa's expression turned slightly solemn. Even with his powerful divine sense, he was greatly restricted in this Heavenly Molten Fire Swamp.

The detection range was drastically reduced to less than a hundred miles, and the further away it went, the blurrier it became, and there was even a sense of distortion.

If even someone with his powerful divine sense, comparable to a great cultivator, is like this, then other Nascent Soul cultivators are even less capable.

Apart from Madam Qingxia, whose expression didn't change much, everyone else's faces looked somewhat unpleasant.

"Let's go," Madam Qingxia said calmly.

Although their flying boat slowed down slightly, it still rushed into the Heavenly Meltfire Swamp at high speed.

As if possessing a spirit, the surrounding fire waves rushed over, causing the protective light shield that rose from the outer layer of the flying boat to flash rapidly and sizzle as it was burned by the scorching fire waves.

If even this extraordinary flying boat is like this, one can imagine the power of the surrounding fire waves.

This was even with the restrictions of the Heavenly Melting Fire Marsh already weakened, and it was activated autonomously without anyone in charge, making it hard for Ning Fa to imagine how powerful the restrictions would be when fully activated.

The Heavenly Melting Fire Marsh is extremely vast, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles.

Several hours later, the group had only flown forward a little over a thousand miles.

During this process, Ningfa was able to vaguely sense other teams that had already entered the area.

At this point, the teams had slowed down, seemingly searching for the key point of the formation.

Nearly a day had passed, and the speed of the blue airship decreased.

Lady Qingxia stood at the bow of the ship, her expression solemn, holding a magical artifact that resembled a star chart in her hand, and casting a series of spells.

The star chart spun rapidly with flashes of light, and Lady Qingxia adjusted the direction of the blue flying boat accordingly.

Before long, Madam Qingxia's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed softly, "Found it!"

Immediately, the airship's speed increased dramatically, and it flew off in a certain direction.

A moment later, the airship came to a stop.

But apart from the rolling waves of fire, there seemed to be nothing special ahead.

Lady Qingxia tossed the star chart in her hand into the air and unleashed a series of spells.

The treasure instantly split into nine pieces, which spun rapidly around a certain area in front of it at a dazzling speed, drawing starlight-like trajectories that looked quite mysterious.

At the same time, a loud explosion was heard, and in one of the corners, a bright red flame suddenly blazed up, and a huge crimson fire lotus rose up from the flames below.
