Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 918 Reunion with Clan Members (Part 2)

As soon as the phantom of the demonic beast appeared, an extremely savage and terrifying aura emanated from it, roaring as it rushed towards the divine sense that Ning Fa had invaded.

Ning Fa's expression changed, and he immediately unleashed a spiritual lightning bolt. The divine sense he had probed into the area was then withdrawn.

A look of lingering fear appeared on his face. He had no doubt that if he had really been hit by that strange monster, his soul would have suffered some kind of bizarre damage.

Just then, a flash of black light appeared on the face of the giant man's nascent soul, and it exploded. However, the black light it emitted was intercepted by the golden lightning net and then slowly disappeared.

Ning Fa frowned. He didn't think this was the big man's soul defense technique; rather, it seemed more like a soul defense restriction.

His eyes flickered, and combining his previous conversation with Fairy Biwu, he felt that this was very likely a divine soul defense restriction placed on Nascent Soul cultivators of Tianli by the mysterious Holy Temple of Tianli.

This also allowed Ningfa to personally experience the strangeness of that holy temple.

Ning Fa stopped hesitating, and with a single wave of his hand, he took the burly man's storage ring into his own, while simultaneously severing the head of the giant black python, extracting its inner core, and then flew towards Cang Lei.

On the other side, Cang Lei had returned to normal size, but he looked gloomy. The old woman was nowhere to be seen, clearly having escaped.

Ning Fafei flew up, and the two couldn't help but look at each other.

Although the appearance of the Azure Thunder True Lord had not changed much, and he was still handsome and unruly, he was obviously much more weathered.

Even from Ning Fa's perception, Cang Lei's cultivation level hadn't increased much since the last time he saw him.

Moreover, his spiritual pressure was unstable, and the light in his eyes was dim, indicating that he had several hidden injuries that had not yet healed.

Based on what Ouyang Zhenhua and others said before, it is clear that Cang Lei Zhenjun has carried too heavy a burden on his shoulders over the years.

"Senior Brother Cang Lei, I'm back." Although Ning Fa had a thousand words to say, he finally said this simple sentence.

Cang Lei Zhenjun looked at Ning Fa with a look of surprise in his eyes, then laughed, and laughed heartily.

After a long while, the laughter subsided. He looked Ning Fa up and down again and couldn't help but laugh, "Good lad, not only have you returned, but you have also successfully formed your Nascent Soul and are so strong."

That Gru and his beastly black python, whose combined strength was enough to contend with a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, were actually killed by you in just a few moves.

It seems I'm no match for you. I really don't know how you, this freak, cultivated yourself.

At this moment, Lan Dian frowned slightly and said with dissatisfaction, "Hey, you'd better show some respect to my master, or I won't be polite!"

Upon hearing this, Cang Lei shrugged and chuckled, "There are actually such powerful transformed spirit beasts. I'm truly envious."

Ning Fa couldn't help but smile.

Just then, True Monarch Cang Lei suddenly coughed violently, even coughing up blood.

Ning Fa was shocked; it seemed that Cang Lei's injuries were more serious than he had anticipated.

He quickly asked, "Senior Brother Cang Lei, are you alright?"

Cang Lei Zhenjun waved his hand, and after taking a deep breath, the unstable spiritual pressure on his body returned to normal.

Then, with a look of intense hatred, he said, "Boy, now that you're back and possess such supernatural powers, that's a great thing."

Remember this: you must never let those bastards from the Tianyang Sect get away with this, especially Bai Dan and Tianyang.

These stubborn, persistent injuries on my body were inflicted by that bastard Tianyang.

Hmph, this person only lost because he had a fourth-tier magic weapon back then, and I was injured at the time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have lost to him in a fair fight!
Oh, and those two old bastards, Pei Nanshu and Yu Chan, are even worse!

These two are great cultivators, yet they target our sect like this, especially now that we are fighting against foreign enemies. They are truly despicable!
"I've had enough of this jerk these past few years. If it weren't for the sect, I wouldn't care about any external invasion; I'd just walk away!"

Then, True Lord Cang Lei burst into a tirade of curses, as if he wanted to vent all the bitterness he had suffered over the past few decades.

Normally, he wouldn't tolerate such treatment, but for the sake of his sect and family, he had no choice but to endure it, which had been incredibly frustrating for him over the years.

Now that he has met Ningfa, who has successfully formed his Nascent Soul, he finally has someone to confide in.

Ning Fa listened quietly, and when Cang Lei Zhenjun finally finished speaking, he said calmly with an unwavering determination, "Senior Brother Cang Lei, don't worry, I won't let any of these people off the hook."

Upon hearing Ning Fa's domineering words, Cang Lei Zhenjun couldn't help but look at him again, exclaiming in amazement, "Boy, tell me honestly, what is your current strength?"
I've also met Wang Xuance, who was ranked first on the Star Ranking alongside you before. He is indeed extremely strong.

If he were to make a move, he could probably kill Nagru quickly, but it wouldn't be as easy as you did, especially since you didn't even use your Divine Firmament Dharma Form.

Ning Fa smiled and said, "Although I don't know the strength of the other great cultivators, I think my strength when I go all out should not be weaker than theirs, so you can also regard me as a great cultivator."

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Cang Lei's eyes widened, and he looked at Ning Fa with disbelief.

Although he had already suspected something, hearing Ning Fa confirm it himself still shocked him immensely.

After all, Ning Fa wouldn't have been in the Nascent Soul stage for very long, yet his strength was already comparable to that of a Grand Master. Cang Lei had never heard of such a thing before, which further demonstrated Ning Fa's astonishing potential.

Cang Lei Zhenjun burst into laughter again, his laughter extremely hearty. Then, his eyes shone brightly as he looked at Ning Fa. "Good lad, good lad! From now on, you are the Grand Elder of Huayu Sect. I will call you Senior Brother, and you will call me Junior Brother."

Ning Fa couldn't help but smile, then pondered for a moment and said, "I can serve as the Grand Elder, but I'll still call you Senior Brother, otherwise it'll feel a bit awkward."

After all, given Ning Fa's strength, if he were not appointed as the sect's Grand Elder, it might lead other sects to speculate that there was discord within the Huayu Sect.

Cang Lei was not a pedantic person; after thinking for a moment, he nodded in agreement.

Ning Fa then flipped his right hand and took out a light blue pill.

The pill was filled with spiritual energy, and its surface even had a natural-looking mark, radiating extremely pure spiritual power.

Cang Lei looked at the pill, hesitated at first, and then exclaimed in shock, "This is... a Azure Profound Pill! And it's a Patterned Azure Profound Pill!"

Ning Fa smiled and said, "That's right, it is indeed a Wenqing Xuan Pill. I think this pill should be able to cure all your hidden ailments, senior brother, and leave no future troubles."

Cang Lei hesitated. If it were an ordinary pill, he might not have been so polite to Ning Fa.

However, this pill is too precious. It is a priceless healing elixir even for Nascent Soul cultivators, not to mention that it has only one pattern, so its value cannot be measured in spirit stones.

"Senior brother, don't be so polite with me. Besides, there are still tough battles ahead. Your early recovery will also help relieve some of the pressure on me," Ning Fa said with a smile.

He had killed many Nascent Soul experts before and possessed numerous precious treasures. This Azure Profound Pill with a single pattern was one of them, obtained from the Bloodlust Old Demon of the Myriad Desires Sect.

Although this pill is precious, Cang Lei has protected the sect and the Ning family over the years, so he deserves it.

Of course, he had quite a few similar high-level healing pills on him.

Cang Lei hesitated for a moment, but still accepted the pill and said solemnly, "Junior brother, I owe you a favor."

Ning Fa smiled and shook his head.

At this moment, the sound of wind breaking rang out one after another, and figures flew towards this side, which were many disciples of the Huayu Sect.

Everyone looked at Ning Fa with great excitement, and many were even moved to tears.

"Husband!" A beautiful figure rushed over and threw herself into Ning Fa's arms.

Looking at the beautiful and gentle face in his arms, Ningfa couldn't help but gently stroke her cheek and say softly, "Qinghe, I'm sorry I'm late."

This woman is none other than Ouyang Qinghe.

Ouyang Qinghe tightly hugged his waist and burst into tears. Although Ouyang Qinghe became Ningfa's Daoist partner later than others, her feelings for Ningfa were no less sincere than those of others.

Seeing Ning Fa return safely, I was naturally overwhelmed with emotion.

Among the crowd was a young girl in a white dress, with delicate and lovely features, yet also exuding a heroic spirit. Tears streamed down her face, but her small face was beaming with a smile. She was none other than Ning Fa's eldest disciple, Liu Ruohong.

Meanwhile, another woman in the crowd, dressed in a long white dress and with a beautiful and ethereal appearance, was also looking at Ning Fa with tears streaming down her face. This woman was none other than Duanmu Ling.

He had known Duanmu Ling since Ning Fa was still living in the Ning family in Qianbo Lake.

Furthermore, after Ningfa joined the Huayu Sect, he also became a follower of Duanmu Ling, and followed her in exploring the Yunhuang Great Swamp.

Duanmu Ling also greatly appreciated him and felt indebted to him for his talent.

Later, because of Duanmu Pojun, Duanmu Hong chose Chen Jing, who was close to Duanmu Pojun, as his personal disciple, and Ning Fa was eliminated. He later became a disciple of Cheng Ziyi and joined the Cheng family.

However, Ningfa and Duanmu Ling's relationship did not become distant. Later, in order to recover from her injuries, Duanmu Ling asked Ningfa to help her through spiritual communication.

Their relationship underwent a qualitative change, transcending that of ordinary friends.

However, due to her pride, Duanmu Ling was unwilling to share Ningfa with other women, so she did not become Ningfa's Daoist partner.

However, Ning Fa always regarded her as his confidante.

It was precisely because they had no official status that, despite the overwhelming emotions Duanmu Ling felt upon seeing Ning Fa again, she restrained herself from embracing him as freely as Ouyang Qinghe had.

Seeing Ning Fa looking at her, Duanmu Ling couldn't help but open her mouth slightly, choking back tears, and said, "You're back, that's so good."

A strange look appeared in Cang Lei Zhenjun's eyes, and he chuckled and cursed in a low voice, "Good lad, not only is he strong enough, but he's also quite the ladies' man."

In the crowd, Liu Qinghui was seen biting her lip tightly, her right hand gripping the hem of her clothes. She unconsciously took a step forward, seemingly wanting to run over, but she held back.

Liu Ruohong flew closer, his voice trembling with excitement, and said, "Master."

Ningfa carefully examined his eldest disciple.

At this moment, Liu Ruohong was already at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, not far from the late stage. Moreover, the true essence aura on his body was extremely pure, clearly showing that he had not slacked off over the years.
