Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 965 Subduing Ji Lianxing
"I don't believe you're really not afraid of death," Ning Fa said, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Ji Lianxing paused for a moment, then said, "Of course I'm afraid of death, so as long as you give me a way out, I can tell you anything you want to know."

Actually, I did this entirely out of desperation; it wasn't my intention to harm you.

Ning Fa coldly said, "You have no right to bargain with me. If you anger me, I might even prevent you from entering the cycle of reincarnation."

But if you tell the truth honestly, I might allow you to disintegrate on your own, giving you a chance at reincarnation, and perhaps even a chance to embark on the path to immortality again.”

Ji Lianxing said sadly, "Even if there is an afterlife, what then? Would I still be me?"
"And what I know is absolutely crucial to you. Don't you want to know who's targeting you and what their plan is?"

Ning Fa couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

Seeing that Ning Fa was tempted, Ji Lianxing gritted her teeth and said, "As long as you can promise to protect me in the future, I will tell you everything in detail."

From now on, I can follow you wherever you want to go, no matter what you want to do.

At this point, Ji Lianxing hesitated slightly before saying, "Do you know that I actually possess the Heavenly Demon Body, and any man who obtains my primordial yin will receive enormous benefits?"

This can greatly increase the hope of breaking through bottlenecks, even those at the Nascent Soul stage.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fa's expression changed.

He was aware of the rare talent of the Heavenly Charm Body, and it did indeed have such powerful effects. No wonder Ji Lianxing had such a special alluring charm.

"You said you'd be protected?" Ningfa noticed the key phrase.

A look of hatred appeared in Ji Lianxing's beautiful eyes.

"Indeed, Old Ghost Mo has long coveted my Heavenly Charm Body."

If I can advance to the mid-to-late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, my Yin energy will even be of some help to his breakthrough to the Divine Transformation realm.

If this old ghost only wanted to obtain my primordial yin, that would be one thing. The problem is that this old guy plans to use a more extreme method to maximize his use of me.

In that scenario, my fate would be no better than being unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation.

I learned about this by chance.

In fact, my master Shen Xinlan also knew that this matter was even a deal between her and Mo Laogui.

"You must have sensed that special treasure within my soul just now, right? Shen Xinlan claimed it was to protect me, but in reality, it was a restriction she placed on me."

After hearing what the woman said, Ning Fa couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face.

He felt that what the woman said was true. He had indeed felt that the black copper coin magic weapon was very strange, unlike an ordinary soul defense magic weapon.

Unexpectedly, Ji Lianxing, who seemed so glamorous on the surface, was actually in such a miserable state.

As expected of the number one sect in the demonic path, their style of doing things is truly demonic.

At this moment, Ji Lianxing looked at Ning Fa again, her eyes filled with hope: "Fellow Daoist Ning, your strength is very strong, and your potential is even greater. I'm afraid that only you can protect me in Cangyuan now."

You can guarantee this by making a vow against your inner demons or by signing a high-level spiritual contract with me.

I will tell you everything exactly as it happened, and I will cooperate with you completely from now on, including offering you my primordial yin.

Ning Fa pondered for a moment, then said calmly, "Don't even think about making a vow to your inner demons or signing a high-level spiritual contract. I will not agree to it."

But I can make you a promise: if what you say is true and you cooperate, I might be able to protect you.

Ji Lianxing frowned, still wanting to try, but seeing Ning Fa's indifferent eyes, she smiled bitterly and said, "Alright, I've long heard that Fellow Daoist Ning is a man of his word, so I'll believe you."

After saying that, the woman paused slightly and began to speak softly.

Ning Fa stared intently at the woman. He had placed a Moon Phase Soul-Sealing Technique on her, so he could naturally tell whether she was telling the truth or not.

After a long while, Ji Lianxing finished speaking and looked nervously at Ning Fa: "That's how things are. Everything I did was out of desperation. I hope Fellow Daoist Ning can understand."

Although Ning Fa appeared calm, his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Ji Lianxing's actions were indeed instigated by her master, Shen Xinlan.

This newly promoted great cultivator of the demonic path had Ji Lianxing stay close to Ning Fa, in order to confirm Ning Fa's location.

The reason for this was that Shen Xinlan and the others planned to ambush and kill Ning Fa.

Moreover, it wasn't just Shen Xinlan; besides her, there was also Huangfu Hong, the sect leader of Yuancha Sect, and Pei Nanshu, the patriarch of the Pei family.

And it wasn't just them, there were also the Tianli people.

They had already spoken with the Tianli Temple and reached an agreement on killing Ning Fa.

However, Ningfa had not shown up for more than a year, so they had not found an opportunity.

Later, after Shen Xinlan learned that Ning Fa was leading the team to carry out this sabotage operation in Tianli's rear, she immediately launched the plan.

However, Shen Xinlan's plan was to wait until Ning Fa broke the restriction and was on his way back before ambushing and killing him, so she needed to know Ning Fa's exact whereabouts.

The reason they haven't acted yet is that although Shen Xinlan and the others are cooperating with Tian Li, it's only in the matter of killing Ning Fa.

They would be happy to see Tianli suffer a major blow.

"Why? I've never even met your master, Shen Xinlan, nor do I have any major grudges against your Wushi Demon Palace," Ning Fa asked, puzzled.

Ji Lianxing gave a wry smile: "Actually, it was Huangfu Hong who spearheaded the plan to deal with Fellow Daoist Ning."

Huangfu Hong also knows that there is a lot of grudge between you and him, especially since Fellow Daoist Ning has shown a vengeful attitude after returning this time.

Fellow Daoist Ning may not know that the Yuancha Sect has always maintained close ties with our Wushi Demon Palace. Moreover, it seems they paid a considerable price to persuade Shen Xinlan.

Moreover, there was another important reason why Shen Xinlan agreed to her request.

"Fellow Daoist Ning, you and the goddess Zhu Lingyun must have encountered considerable danger on your journey to Gray Luo Island, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Fa's eyes narrowed, and Ji Lianxing continued, "Goddess Zhu Lingyun has a very special supernatural power, similar to a sudden whim, or even much stronger. It is difficult to hide any malice directed at her from her."

The Yuancha Sect wanted to deal with Zhu Lingyun, but they didn't want her to find out.

Therefore, he paid a price to ask Shen Xinlan for help, because Shen Xinlan's special magic treasure, the Hetu Luoshu, could just block Zhu Lingyun's supernatural power.

Therefore, it can be said that Shen Xinlan was also an accomplice, and Fellow Daoist Ning was also caught in the crossfire.

Shen Xinlan wasn't sure if Fellow Daoist Ning knew about this, but given the strength and potential Fellow Daoist Ning had shown, she was still worried that he might seek revenge on her in the future.

Therefore, he and Huangfu Hong hit it off immediately and decided to strike first.

As for why Pei Nanshu joined, it was probably through Huangfu Hong's connections.

Ning Fa's expression changed, never expecting there to be such a reason behind it.

That explains why these people would unite and even cooperate with the Tianli people.

"Was Mo Qianqiu involved in this matter?" Ning Fa asked, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Ji Lianxing hesitated slightly before saying, "I'm not sure about this, but I guess Mo Laogui should know about it."

But he probably didn't actively participate; rather, he tacitly approved of it.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fa remained silent for a moment, but the chilling killing intent in his eyes sent a chill down Ji Lianxing's spine.

After a long while, Ning Fa asked again, "Did you tell Shen Xinlan the location of that teleportation array in the Qige Mountains?"

Ji Lianxing hesitated for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile.

Ning Fa frowned. It seemed that the teleportation array back was not safe.

It's even possible that Shen Xinlan and the others, along with the Tianli people, planned to ambush and kill him there.

After all, with his level of strength, killing him would be extremely difficult. It's not simply a matter of having more people; you need a certain terrain that prevents him from escaping, such as setting up some special restrictions.

This is why Shen Xinlan insisted that Ji Lianxing stay close to Ning Fa and accurately grasp his movements, so as to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Ning Fa lowered his eyes and pondered for a long time before saying, "Follow my instructions and continue communicating with Shen Xinlan as usual for the time being."

You should experience some of my current supernatural powers. The restriction in your sea of ​​consciousness also allows me to know your every move. So as long as you cooperate obediently, my promise will be valid.

Ji Lianxing nodded with a wry smile.

Then, Ning Fa vanished from his spot in a flash.

Ji Lianxing let out a long sigh, a complex look appearing in her eyes: "I hope we don't just escape the tiger's den only to fall into the wolf's mouth..."

Three days later, Ningfa and the others left the city of Aisa through the south gate. After making a large detour, they gathered together and sped off in the northwest.

Ji Lianxing behaved normally throughout the journey, showing no signs of anything amiss.

After flying for more than 10,000 miles, a vast, continuous mountain range suddenly appeared at the end of their sight.

The mountain range was grayish-black, with thick black mist rising from it, giving people an uneasy feeling even from a distance.

Around it, a layer of endless five-colored light gently floated, binding all the black mist within it. Clearly, this five-colored light was the outer restriction of that great formation.

The group dared not get too close and continued speeding north along the edge.

Before long, a lake shaped like a maple leaf appeared in front of everyone's sight.

Ning Fa's expression shifted, and he led the group to fly towards it, soon landing in the northwest corner of the lake.

Ning Fa glanced around, then looked towards the edge of the nearby dense forest and said calmly, "Come out."

Then a flash of black light appeared, and three figures slowly emerged.

Besides Ning Daozhen, who was in the lead, there was a young man with a cold expression among the other two.

This person was special. Although he looked no different from an ordinary person, he was easily recognized by the high-level cultivators.

This person's entire neck, along with half of his face, was like a puppet's shell, and even his right hand was the same, making him appear as a half-puppet, half-human being.

Ning Fa was quite familiar with this person; it was Zhang Zhilong, or more accurately, Xiao Han of the Blood Heaven Sect.

This person is a rare puppet master. Hei Yu's original form was created by him and was accidentally obtained by Ning Fa in the Yuanling Secret Realm.

This person's aura was also very strange, even though his cultivation level was only at the late stage of Core Formation.

However, the spiritual pressure he emitted was even stronger than that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, which was obviously related to his current semi-puppet state.

At this moment, Xiao Han was frowning as he looked at Ning Fa, his eyes filled with disbelief and apprehension.

Besides Xiao Han, there was another white-haired old man with white hair and a kind face.

This person, like Ning Daozhen, was at the early Nascent Soul stage. He was looking at Ning Fa with a smile, a hint of surprise in his eyes, and took the initiative to speak:

"I am Dan Hongzi of the Danhuang Sect. I have long heard of Fellow Daoist Ning's great name."
