Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 959 Ling Yue
The others were also observing the surrounding scenery. They saw that the surrounding area consisted of continuous mountain ranges, shrouded in mist, with clear waters and beautiful scenery, which seemed no different from their own Cang Yuan.

Ji Lianxing asked with some doubt, "Isn't it said that there are frequent and severe celestial phenomena in the Qige Mountains? It doesn't seem like that at all."

Ning Fa, however, kept his eyes fixed on the right side, then said calmly, "Take another look over there."

Upon hearing this, the group immediately used their divine senses to probe in that direction, and their expressions changed slightly.

A hundred miles away in that direction, a vibrant, colorful cloud covering a hundred miles was floating in the sky.

Wherever the colorful clouds passed, both spiritual plants and demonic beasts turned into grayish-white crystals, and then shattered into dust, looking extremely eerie.

"What the hell is this?" Bai Yueqiu asked, her face pale. The others also looked rather grim.

Without saying a word, Ningfa urged the Rending Savage Bird beneath him to increase its speed and fly towards the edge of the mountain range.

Since they were not located deep within the mountains, it only took them a day to fly out of the mountains and head southwest at high speed.

During this process, they also gained a deep understanding of why the cultivation world of Tianli is said to have a harsh environment.

They flew for over 100,000 miles, but did not find any spiritual veins along the way, and instead encountered danger several times.

For example, celestial phenomena like those eerie colorful clouds, while not as dangerous as those clouds, are still difficult for even Core Formation cultivators to deal with easily.

In addition, there are highly aggressive savage beasts, whether on land or in the air. As long as you pass through their territory, you will be hunted down by them.

This made Ning Fa and his group understand why the Tianli cultivators were so eager to conquer their Cangyuan. Compared to them, Cangyuan was truly a blessed land.

Although this trip is quite dangerous, Ningfa and his group are extremely strong.

Leaving aside Ning Fa, the others also possess combat strength exceeding that of ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

Therefore, these dangers did not cause them any trouble, and the group quickly approached the city of Aisa in the southwest, while trying to avoid dealing with other Tianli cultivators along the way.

On the tenth day, Ning Fa, who was standing at the very front of the Fiend Bird, suddenly focused his gaze.

He sensed a streak of light approaching from behind at an incredible speed.

Ning Falue hesitated for a moment and then gave up on changing direction to avoid it.

Although he further detected the other party with his divine sense, given the other party's speed, they could catch up in the blink of an eye. If they deliberately avoided them, it would only arouse the other party's suspicion.

Ning Fa remained calm, while simultaneously transmitting his thoughts to the others: "A powerful figure is approaching from behind, be careful."

The others were taken aback, and then quickly spread their divine senses, but found nothing.

Ji Lianxing frowned, about to say something, when her expression suddenly changed.

She finally noticed the streak of light behind her, and her brows furrowed even more as she looked at Ning Fa.

Ning Fa discovered the other party so much earlier than her, doesn't that mean Ning Fa's divine sense is much stronger than hers?
The others also realized this, and they all looked at Ning Fa with strange expressions, only then realizing that his reputation was well-deserved.

Not long after, a loud whooshing sound came from behind, and everyone looked back as if they had just realized what was happening.

Amidst a burst of intense blue light, a bronze chariot was speeding along at breakneck speed.

What is striking is that the carriage was pulled by two celestial horse-like beasts, each several meters long, with six wings and a single horn on their foreheads.

With a single flap of its six wings, the two beasts carried the carriage dozens of feet away, their speed so great that even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators could not keep up.

The bronze chariot quickly caught up with Ning Fa and the others, but continued to speed forward without stopping, and soon disappeared into the horizon.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, because the one who could ride such a powerful flying magic weapon was definitely a Nascent Soul cultivator from Tianli.

Moreover, they are probably not ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators; they likely hold a high position in Tianli. If the other party has any doubts about them, then things could get complicated.

Ning Fa, however, remained solemn, a complex look flashing in his eyes, and murmured to himself, "Could it be her?..."

Two women were sitting in the carriage at that moment.

The woman sitting in the center wore a cloud-white dress, with eyebrows like distant mountains and eyes like autumn water. Her temperament was as pure and aloof as a secluded orchid, as if she were a fairy descended to earth, untouched by the dust of the world. There was also a mysterious crescent-shaped spiritual pattern on her smooth forehead.

This woman was none other than Ling Yue, whom Ning Fa had not seen for a long time.

The woman sitting next to her was a beautiful woman in her thirties with her long hair tied up high. Although she was beautiful, her phoenix eyes exuded a strong murderous aura, making her look extremely unapproachable.

Ning Fa recognized this woman as well; she was none other than Huiyue Palace Night Princess, with whom he had fought fiercely in Leimu Palace.

At this time, Ling Yue was at the late stage of Core Formation, while Ye Ji was already at the early stage of Nascent Soul.

Ling Yue, who was originally aloof and indifferent, suddenly changed her expression, looked up at the back, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Ye Ji glanced at Ning Fa and the others behind her and said with a smile, "Judging from the appearance of these people, it's another beast hunting team, and they're heading towards Aisa City."

However, these people were unlucky; even after reaching Aisa City, they were now unable to travel to the Wanling Mountains, and their trip had been in vain.

Ling Yue seemed not to hear, still looking behind her, a hint of confusion in her beautiful eyes.

Seeing this, Ye Ji couldn't help but ask curiously, "Xiao Yue, what's wrong? Do you know these Core Formation cultivators?"

Ling Yue glanced behind her again, then turned around with a normal expression: "It's nothing, it's just that one of them seems to have a rather special aura of true essence, which piqued my interest." "Isn't that simple? I'll go and capture these people." Ye Ji said with a smile, about to make a move, but when she saw Ling Yue's furrowed brows, she immediately shrugged.

"Okay, never mind."

But Xiaoyue, you need to be careful this time. This is a great opportunity for you to overpower Bai Muqing.

After all, that treasure was related to the fate of the Tianli clan. In order to refine it, the clan also took out all the innate five elements that they had accumulated over tens of thousands of years.

Moreover, they even went so far as to extract most of the restrictive power of the Five Elements Overturning Primordial Spirit Trapping Array in the Wanling Mountains.

"If you can help the clan complete the forging of that precious treasure this time, then the position of Moon Lord will be a foregone conclusion. Even if you are Sister Ling's daughter, no one will gossip."

Ye Ji said solemnly.

But Ling Yue was still somewhat dazed. After a while, she came to her senses and said calmly, "Is the position of Moon Lord really that important?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Ji immediately became anxious: "Xiao Yue, how can you still be so naive? Do you think that the position of Moon Lord is only about yourself? Don't forget about your maternal clan behind you!"

Your mother served as the Moon Lord of the clan for hundreds of years. Although she enjoyed immense prestige, she also offended many people.

Putting everything else aside, the Bai family is a huge threat.

Your two families have always been sworn enemies.

The death of Bai Yeming exacerbated the feud between your two families. The Bai family always believed that your mother stood by and watched their clan's genius perish.

Over the years, with the help of certain individuals, the feud between your Ling family and the Bai family has deepened.

Ling Jie had previously exhausted a lot of her life force in order to break through that boundary wall, and now she doesn't have much lifespan left.

Once Sister Ling passes away, and your Ling family doesn't have a powerful figure to hold the line, the Bai family won't care about Sister Ling's contributions to the clan; they will definitely take action against your Ling family.

The Bai family has been brimming with talent in recent years, boasting a number of elders in the Holy Temple that far surpasses that of your Ling family. Furthermore, they maintain excellent relationships with the major Holy Witches; for example, Su Rihe has openly expressed his support for Bai Muqing.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yue sighed softly, "Aunt Ye, you don't need to say anything. I know what to do."

Night Princess finally relaxed, then, as if remembering something, she said with lingering fear:

"It's fortunate that Aroye and the others' previous actions failed, otherwise they would have really snatched back the child of the Divine Heart Sect goddess Zhu Lingyun."

Then the position of Moon Lord is out of your reach, neither you nor Bai Muqing have a chance; it will definitely be taken by Zhu Lingyun's daughter.

"Tsk tsk, it's said that this girl is the only one in tens of thousands of years to cause the Qian Heavenly Plate in the Holy Temple to display the extraordinary phenomenon of the Qian Life Celestial Instrument."

Hearing this, Ling Yue remained silent, but the complex emotions in her eyes deepened.

Ye Ji, however, seemed oblivious and continued to marvel, saying, "It is said that the child in Zhu Lingyun's womb was conceived by Ning Fa. I wonder what kind of charm Ning Fa possesses that made the pure and innocent Zhu Lingyun fall for him, even willing to become pregnant with his child, and even give birth to such a child with amazing qualities."

Unfortunately, Zhu Lingyun was cursed by A Luoye's Nine Li God-Sealing Curse. Both she and the child in her womb are probably already dead.

However, it seems that Ning Fa has another child, who is also exceptionally talented and was secretly raised by the Ling Shu Pavilion from a young age…

Ye Ji spoke for a long time without receiving a response. She turned around and saw Ling Yue looking out the window, her expression blank.

Ye Ji frowned and said earnestly, "Xiao Yue, you should let it go."

Now, Tianli and Cangyuan are sworn enemies. Not to mention, many people from Huayu Sect and Ning Family died in this great battle. Do you think Ning Fa can let this grudge go?

Especially now that he's on our Tianli kill list, and has even been prioritized as number one.

After all, no one knows what kind of freak this kid is. He only has the strength of a great cultivator at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and he's not even an ordinary great cultivator. He can fight on equal terms with You Gu from the Ten Thousand Bones Sect.

If we give him more time to grow, I'm afraid no one in Tianli will be able to cure him.

I heard that those old fogies at the Holy Temple have a meticulous plan to kill Ningfa, but this kid hasn't shown up for a year, whether he's sensed something or not.

Hearing this, Ling Yue's heart tightened, but she said casually, "With his current strength, I might be able to hurt him, but killing him would probably be very difficult."

Ye Ji smiled mysteriously: "Xiao Yue, you don't know this. It's not just us Tianli people who want him dead; there are many others in Cang Yuan as well."

"What? Someone in Cangyuan wants to kill him? Why would they do that?" Ling Yue could no longer hide her nervousness.

Seeing Ling Yue's expression, Ye Ji first chuckled and said, "I was just saying it casually, it was just a guess."

As she spoke, she raised her eyebrows again: "But Xiaoyue, wake up, there's no way it's possible between you two."

If you ask me, even if you can't bring yourself to kill Xia Xinlan and Ji Qingqing...

At the very least, they could be used to make a deal with Cang Yuan, exchanging some high-level spiritual items for them.

Ningfa is a charming and romantic young man; he probably won't refuse. That way, you can explain things to the clan more easily, and you won't be constantly gossiped about because of this."

"Let's talk about this later," Ling Yue said, her expression returning to calm, though her eyes held a deep, melancholy.
