Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 949 The Goddess's Strange Phenomenon
For some reason, it seems that some ancient demons that were previously sealed have awakened and infiltrated the Wanling Mountains while our two sides were fighting.

Because there is an ancient demon altar in the Wanling Mountains, and these ancient demons seem to have found a way to reactivate the altar, which is why they were able to corrupt so many savage beasts.

Unfortunately, by then Cangyuan was already severely weakened and powerless to launch a counterattack. Furthermore, when we received the news, the Tianli people had already begun to stabilize the chaos caused by the barbarians, so we could only take this opportunity to recuperate.

Master Xuyuan then added with great regret.

Ning Fa's eyes flashed as he thought of the sea of ​​demonic energy he had encountered in Yingyue Valley.

In that case, it's very likely that it was also an ancient demon altar.

Ning Fa even wondered if the demon descendant that Zhuo Qing had merged with hadn't died and had infiltrated the Wanling Mountains to activate another ancient demon altar.
Ningfa thought it was very likely, after all, that demon descendant was obviously no ordinary person.

"Now that the Tianli people have launched another major offensive, could it be that the threat of savage beasts in their rear has been brought under control?" he immediately asked.

Master Xuyuan nodded: "That's right. In fact, we learned from that scout's message several years ago that the Tianli people seemed to have received strong reinforcements."

With this powerful assistance, their progress in eliminating the savage beasts was greatly accelerated.

However, the scout was not of high rank and did not know where this powerful reinforcement came from.

It was only through Fellow Daoist Ning's words that we learned that their powerful ally was actually the Ten Thousand Bones Sect from the Rakshasa Immortal Cultivation World.

With the help of the Ten Thousand Bones Sect, the Tianli people finally drove the raging beasts back to the Wanling Mountains and sealed the entire Wanling Mountains by modifying an ancient array.

With this in mind, the Tianli people had no more worries about their rear, and thus began a full-scale attack again.

At this point, Master Xuyuan paused, his expression becoming solemn.

Ning Fa's eyes also flickered, vaguely guessing what Xu Yuan Jushi wanted to say.

"Fellow Daoist Ning, to be honest, our Ling Shu Pavilion happens to have a collection of the ancient and wondrous array set up by the Tian Li people, so we have some understanding of it."

Although the Tianli people made some modifications to this formation, it should still be based on the original formation structure.

Therefore, after learning about this matter, I had an idea: that is, we, Cangyuan, should send people to the Wanling Mountains to destroy that ancient formation.

In this way, the Tianli people will naturally face trouble at home again. Even if we can't force them to retreat completely, it will greatly reduce the pressure on us.

The setup of that ancient array requires a massive amount of resources. If we can destroy it, I believe the Tianli people won't be able to set it up again anytime soon.

Ning Fa remained expressionless, thinking to himself, "Just as I thought."

His eyes flashed and he said, "Judging from Fellow Daoist Xuyuan's words, it seems that you hope I will go?"

Xu Yuan Jushi said frankly, "That's right, exactly."

In fact, that ancient array was very special, and destroying it was not an easy task.

However, I have already selected some fellow Daoists who happen to cultivate special supernatural abilities, along with some special treasures from this pavilion.

As long as we can reach the Wanling Mountains, breaking this formation should not be a problem.

Moreover, we have been working hard over the years to build a long-distance teleportation array behind Tianli, which is now almost complete. This will allow us to directly reach the rear of Tianli.

Nevertheless, this journey is still extremely difficult and requires a fellow Daoist with sufficient strength to lead it.

Before Fellow Daoist Ning appeared, we originally wanted to choose one of Fellow Daoists Kong Li and Xu Yi to lead the team.

But now that Fellow Daoist Ning has arrived, in my opinion, Fellow Daoist Ning is naturally more suitable.

Moreover, this matter is quite related to Fellow Daoist Ning—because this infiltration of Tianli's rear is also connected to Fellow Daoist Zhu Lingyun of the Divine Heart Sect.

Hearing the first part, Ning Fa remained expressionless, but the last sentence made his face change drastically.

He looked at the hermit Xuyuan with his brows furrowed.

Upon his return, he was preoccupied with one matter after another, and didn't have time to visit the Divine Heart Sect to find the goddess Zhu Lingyun.

But unexpectedly, according to what Master Xuyuan said, this infiltration into the rear of Tianli to cause sabotage was actually related to Zhu Lingyun.

But when he thought of the strange look on Wu Hong's face when she talked about Zhu Lingyun, Ning Fa's heart sank.

"Fellow Daoist Xuyuan, what exactly is going on? Please explain it more clearly."

Ning Fa's expression had already turned somewhat unpleasant.

Master Xuyuan sighed slightly and said, "This matter is a long story, and I think it would be better for someone else to explain it to you."

After saying that, he looked towards the horizon: "He's already here."

Ning Fa also looked to the right horizon and saw a dazzling streak of light rushing towards them.

Before long, a beam of light stopped in front of the two, revealing a handsome young cultivator dressed in white. This person was none other than True Monarch Kongli.

Kong Li nodded to Layman Xu Yuan, then looked at Ning Fa, who had a cold expression and even an undisguised look of disgust.

Ning Fa's heart skipped a beat. The more Kong Li acted this way, the more he felt that Zhu Lingyun's situation might be even worse than he had imagined.

"What exactly happened to Lingyun?" Ning Fa asked with a gloomy expression.

Upon hearing this, Kong Li frowned deeply and looked at Ning Fa, saying bluntly, "Watch your address! Ling Yun is not someone you can call casually!" He then snorted coldly, "If you want to know about Ling Yun's situation, then come with me."

Without looking back, he flew south.

Kong Li's attitude was appalling, but Ning Fa didn't care about it at the moment. He cupped his hands to Xu Yuan Jushi and followed him with his escape light.

As the two figures gradually disappeared, a strange look appeared in the eyes of the recluse Xuyuan, who sighed, "Pure Yang True Fire... Could this truly be the will of Heaven..."

……

Kongli Zhenjun's escape speed was extremely fast, showing no intention of waiting for Ning Fa. However, with Ning Fa's current cultivation level, he could easily keep up.

Moreover, although Ning Fa has never fought Kong Li, judging from his ranking on the Xuan Ranking, he should only be a lower-level Grand Cultivator.

Ning Fa remembered that Kong Li should have advanced to the level of a great cultivator four or five hundred years ago, so his lifespan should be running out. It is said that the goddess Zhu Lingyun is also his personal disciple, whom he treats like a daughter.

If Zhu Lingyun really suffered some misfortune because of him, it would be easy to understand Kong Li's current attitude. Thinking of this, Ning Fa frowned even more.

The two did not speak along the way. At their speed, they had already covered tens of thousands of miles in just half a day. Then, a continuous mountain range shrouded in mist appeared ahead.

Even before you get close, the pure spiritual energy is already overwhelming.

Ning Fa's expression shifted, realizing that this must be the location of the Divine Heart Sect's mountain gate—the Heavenly Heart Mountain Range.

For tens of thousands of years, the Divine Heart Sect has been the strongest sect in the Cloud Wilderness Alliance, so the spiritual veins in the Heavenly Heart Mountain Range are extraordinary, far surpassing the spiritual veins of the Xu Kingdom that he had just occupied.

With Elder Kongli of the Divine Heart Sect leading the way, the journey was smooth and unimpeded, heading straight towards the core of the mountain range.

As they drew closer, Ningfa grew increasingly nervous, losing all interest in appreciating the breathtakingly beautiful scenery around them.

Before long, a thick white fog suddenly appeared ahead, obscuring the view. When Ning Fa tried to probe with his divine sense, he was met with a strange force that repelled him without hesitation.

Ning Fa's expression hardened slightly; this was clearly a very powerful restriction.

Kong Li took out a control array plate and gently waved it at the white mist in front of him. Instantly, the white mist churned and revealed a passage several feet high. The two of them flew into it.

Within this white mist, Ning Fa encountered several extremely powerful restrictions, and the more restrictions there were, the more uneasy Ning Fa felt.

Before long, the white mist dissipated, and a towering ice mountain over a thousand feet high appeared in front of them, with an astonishing chill emanating from it.

Kong Li, seemingly oblivious, led Ning Fa to a spot halfway up the mountain. After casting a spell, a misty white cave entrance appeared before them.

A tangible, icy aura erupted from it, a hundred times colder than the surrounding air, causing Ning Fadu's expression to change.

Kong Li glanced at Ning Fa expressionlessly, then jumped into the pool.

Ning Fa's expression turned solemn, and he jumped down as well.

This winding ice cave is over a thousand feet deep, and the cold becomes more and more astonishing the deeper you go, so much so that Kong Li had to condense a thick layer of spiritual light around himself.

He glanced at Ning Fa with a slight change in expression. Ning Fa seemed to be resisting the surrounding cold air with his physical body without using any defensive measures. This made Kong Li's pupils shrink slightly.

Finally, the ice cave reached its bottom, where a vast, icy hall, over a hundred feet long and wide, came into view.

Ningfa glanced around, and soon his whole body trembled as he looked at an ice wall on his right.

Inside the ice wall, there was a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in a white dress, as if she had descended from heaven, frozen solid.

Her flowing hair was like clouds, and her flawless face had her eyes closed, as if she were sleeping peacefully.

Ningfa instantly froze, as if he had been struck by lightning.

Although he had already had a very bad expectation in his mind, he never expected that Zhu Lingyun would be in this state, and he could no longer sense any vitality in her.

Ning Fa's heart sank immediately.

Then his pupils suddenly contracted, and he stiffly turned his neck to slowly look at Zhu Lingyun's abdomen.

Zhu Lingyun's lower abdomen was noticeably protruding, and her slender hands were tightly covering it, as if she were protecting it.

"That's...my child with the goddess!?..."

At that moment, Ningfa's heart stopped beating.

"boom!"

A deafening thunderclap erupted, and terrifying lightning, like a thunderstorm, burst forth from Ning Fa's body, enveloping him like a sea of ​​lightning.

His long hair flew wildly, his face was ferocious, his eyes were bloodshot, and a terrifying spiritual pressure that seemed capable of destroying the world erupted from his body.

Kong Li's pupils suddenly contracted sharply; at this moment, Ning Fa didn't even inspire him to resist.

Just two breaths later, the strange phenomenon around Ning Fa suddenly subsided, but even so, his body was still trembling slightly, as if he was trying his best to suppress himself.

His face was contorted with rage as he stared intently at Kong Li, his voice chillingly cold as if it came from the depths of hell.

"What...what...is going on?!"
