Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 968 Seeing Zhuo Qing Again
"It's done!"

Ning Fa's eyes shone brightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

He then immediately looked at Sang Wen.

The woman's face was pale, and her magical power had dwindled to less than half its original amount.

Before her, the remaining black and white energy had formed another black and white arrow, trembling slightly as it rested on the black longbow, ready to be released.

Ning Fa couldn't help but send a worried telepathic message: "Fellow Daoist Sang, are you alright? Should I take over?"

Sang Wen shook his head: "No need. This Black God Bow can only reach its maximum power when activated by the special technique I have cultivated."

At this moment, Ning Daozhen, who also had a smile on his face, pointed to the right: "Attack that array eye, there are my prepared methods there."

Ning Fachong and Sang Wen nodded.

Sang Wen let out a soft sigh and gently pulled with his right hand.

The next moment, the longbow was drawn to its full extent once again.

Immediately, a second arrow of reversed black and white shot out, leaving a long black and white trail as it hurtled to the right and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

Ning Daozhen and the other two immediately set off in their escape light.

At this moment, Ning Fa noticed that Sang Wen, whose face was as pale as paper, trembled and uncontrollably fell downwards.

He immediately flashed over, reached out and hugged her, and without saying a word, took out a pill and fed it into her mouth.

At the same time, the black and white light array not far away also stopped operating.

Bai Yueqiu, Ji Lianxing, and Xiao Pengyuan flew out one after another, all of them pale-faced and their auras plummeted to rock bottom, clearly indicating that their magical power had been greatly depleted.

At this moment, they all took out their recovery pills and hurriedly tried to recover their condition.

Seeing Ning Fa holding Sang Wen, Bai Yueqiu held a high-grade spirit stone in each hand and pouted.

At this moment, Sang Wen recovered a little and hurriedly broke free from Ning Fa's embrace, glaring at him with a mixture of shame and anger.

Ning Fa, however, seemed oblivious, and solemnly said to everyone, "You have done enough. Leave the rest to me. You all hurry up and recover."

As he spoke, a flash of silver lightning appeared around Ning Fa, and he disappeared with a thunderclap.

Soon, Ningfa had flown to the second main array eye.

The chaotic arrow had already pierced through it, and the same scene repeated itself.

Countless black and white cracks were rapidly tearing at the five-colored light curtain, and the damage this time was significantly stronger, obviously because the first main array eye had been destroyed.

Ning Fa once again summoned the Zhou Tian Yan Lei Mirror, hoping to destroy the array's core even faster.

But at this moment, Ning Daozhen, who was nearby, stretched out his arm to stop him and chuckled, "We don't need to bother, just watch."

Ning Fa was initially puzzled, then his expression changed slightly.

A loud explosion quickly approached from afar.

The next moment, a ball of purplish-black spiritual light shot out from within the five-colored light screen, moving at an incredibly fast speed, arriving in front of them in the blink of an eye.

It was a purplish-black demonic blade, over ten zhang in size, radiating overwhelming demonic energy.

The demonic blade struck the same key point of the array, and a surge of purplish-black demonic light erupted instantly.

With a deafening roar, the second main array eye was also destroyed.

After a series of explosions, eight secondary array eyes nearby also shattered.

The nearby five-colored light curtains rapidly peeled off and spread. In Ningfa's divine sense, the five-colored light curtains within a range of several hundred miles of these two array eyes had been almost completely destroyed.

Ning Fa relaxed, then frowned as he looked at Ning Daozhen, who had a smile on his face.

Was that astonishingly dark purple-black demonic blade the method he had prepared? But why did it come from inside the mountain range?

At this point, he didn't dwell on the issue; all he wanted was to successfully sabotage the operation.

Moreover, breaking the inner layer of the Wanling Mountains' restrictions was his first objective, but he had an even more important goal next—to infiltrate the mountains and find the Thousand Soul Grass.

Thinking of this, he said to Ning Daozhen in a deep voice, "As we agreed before, you should wait for me at the agreed location. I need to go deep into the mountains."

Unexpectedly, Ning Daozhen looked at him with a smile that was hard to decipher: "If you want that Thousand Soul Grass, you don't need to go through all this trouble. Someone will bring it to you."

Ning Fajian frowned: "What do you mean by that?"

Ning Daozhen smiled and said, "Someone wants to see you."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to look into the depths of the mountains and chuckled softly, "She's here."

At the same time, Ning Fa also looked ahead with a slight change in expression.

In his consciousness, a cloud of black mist was shooting toward him, containing several extremely powerful auras and exuding astonishing demonic energy.

Ning Fa finally understood.

He looked at Ning Daozhen in shock: "You actually colluded with high-level magical beasts in the Wanling Mountains beforehand?"

Ning Daozhen smiled meaningfully: "They are not high-level magical beasts. You even know one of them."

"I know him?" Ning Fa couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

At the same time, he did indeed sense a familiar aura within that dark figure, which made his expression slightly solemn.

Before long, the black mist had passed through the damaged five-colored light barrier and stopped several dozen feet in front of them.

The black mist churned and revealed seven or eight figures, most of whom were not normal human shapes.

Some had crocodile heads and human bodies, some had more than ten black tentacles on their backs, and some had black wings on their waists... But each of them exuded demonic energy, and the cultivation aura they emitted was at least at the Nascent Soul stage, so they should be high-level demonic beasts in human form.

The man and woman at the very center have standard human physiques and appearances.

The man was pale, with faint black demonic patterns on his exposed skin, and exuded an astonishing aura of malevolence.

Although he was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, the sense of danger he exuded was far stronger than that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

The woman was tall and slender, with an incredibly beautiful face, long, deep purple hair that flowed freely without wind, and wore black armor covered in bone spurs. Her expression was indifferent and cold.

Although she was a woman, she exuded an aura of dominance, and the demonic beasts around her, whose demonic energy was overwhelming, clearly centered on her and treated her with utmost respect.

The incredibly powerful purplish-black demonic blade also transformed into a streak of light and flew back to her right hand, further enhancing her imposing presence.

Upon seeing this woman, Ning Daozhen and the other two immediately changed their expressions.

Dan Hongzi was alright, but Xiao Han, who had been looking cold and gloomy, was now full of fanaticism. If Ning Daozhen hadn't been holding him back, he would have flown over.

Ning Daozhen looked at the woman, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Ning Fa stared intently at the woman in black armor; even he couldn't help but look astonished.

He knew this woman; she had even been by his side for a period of time. She was none other than Zhuo Qing.

This dates back to a long time ago.

When Ning Fa was still in the Qi Refining stage, he represented his sect in the Yuanling Secret Realm, where he obtained a Blood Heaven Token, in which Zhuo Qing's remnant spirit was hidden.

Later, when Ning Fa went to the ruins of the Thunderwood Palace, Zhuo Qing appeared. Having learned the secret of Ning Fa's Five Elements Thunder Body, Zhuo Qing was placed under a soul restriction by Ning Fa and stayed by his side from then on.

Later, during their trip to Yingyue Valley, Zhuo Qing merged with the body of a demonic being. When he self-destructed while wielding that top-tier spiritual treasure, he even saved Ning Fa's life.

Ning Fa was extremely surprised to encounter her again under these circumstances.

Judging from this, the demonized beasts of the Wanling Mountains seem to be closely related to Zhuo Qing, who has now reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Zhuo Qing stared intently at Ning Fa, and a smile bloomed on her originally cold and indifferent face, like the first melting of ice and snow, causing the transformed magical beasts beside her to look at her in surprise.

The man with the demonic markings beside her glared at Ning Fa and Ning Daozhen, and let out a soft snort.

"Brother Ning, it's been a long time." Zhuo Qing looked at Ning Fa and chuckled.

Her smile was like ice and snow melting away, causing the transformed magical beasts around her to look at her in surprise before immediately shifting their gaze.

"Zhuo Qing, I never expected to meet you here again. I also want to thank you for saving me in Yingyue Valley last time."

Ning Fa said with a complicated expression.

Just then, a whooshing sound rang out, and several figures flew in from the south, including Sang Wen, Ji Lianxing, and others.

Upon seeing so many transformed beasts, they were startled and immediately gathered their magical power, summoning their magical treasures as they prepared to attack.

Ning Daozhen shouted at them, "Don't make a move. I have already reached an agreement with them."

After saying that, he solemnly turned to Zhuo Qing and Ning Fa and said, "Time is tight, we have other plans, so you two shouldn't spend too much time catching up."

"Ningfa, let's go to that place and wait for you. It'll take me a while to activate that teleportation array."

As he spoke, Ning Daozhen's lips moved slightly, and he telepathically told Ning Fa a specific location.

Ning Fa glanced at Zhuo Qing and Ning Daozhen, and already understood.

It was clear that Ning Daozhen had already made contact with Zhuo Qing beforehand, so his reliance in breaking the formation was actually Zhuo Qing.

At this time, Zhuo Qing had become a key figure among the magical beasts of the Wanling Mountains.

Judging from this, Ning Daozhen had also told her that he needed the Thousand Soul Grass, which is why he said those things earlier.

But Ning Fa had a vague feeling that Zhuo Qing probably didn't just want to reminisce with him.

“Fellow Daoist Ning, then we…” Ji Lianxing, who was not far away, asked him hesitantly, and the others also looked at him.

Although they were still somewhat unclear about the situation, they were not entirely at ease with Ningfa being with such a group of high-level transformed magical beasts, and Sang Wen was no exception.

"You go with Ning Daozhen first, I'll be there shortly," Ning Fa said in a deep voice.

Seeing Ning Fa say this, Sang Wen and the others glanced at him, their bodies shimmering with light, and followed Ning Daozhen and the others forward.

"You should go too, and destroy this restriction completely as soon as possible."

Zhuo Qing turned around and gave a curt order to the group of transformed magical beasts beside him in an unyielding tone.

Without hesitation, the transformed magical beasts clasped their hands together and transformed into billowing black smoke, flying off in all directions.

Suddenly, only Ning Fa and Zhuo Qing remained on the spot.

"Brother Ning, I heard you needed the Thousand Soul Grass, so I prepared one for you."

Zhuo Qingchong chuckled lightly, and with a gentle push of his right hand, a ball of light flew to Ning Fa's front.

Inside was a palm-sized black spiritual herb with ten leaves. Its surface was covered with countless purple patterns that resembled tiny eyes. Even Ning Fa felt dizzy at first glance.

"Thousand Soul Grass, and it's even a ten-thousand-year-old Thousand Soul Grass!" Ning Fa couldn't help but be overjoyed.

He had done his homework on the Thousand Soul Grass before he came.

Each leaf that grows from this special medicinal herb represents a thousand years of medicinal age. This plant has ten leaves, which means it is ten thousand years old.

If it is used to refine the Soul-Soothing Pill, the medicinal effect will naturally be better, which also gives Ning Fa more confidence to refine the Soul-Soothing Pill with pill patterns.
