Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 984 Taking the bait
However, Ning Fa didn't want to give these three any more time to survive. Now that he had the chance to kill them directly, that would be the best thing.

So he came up with his current plan: to feign injury and lure the three of them into a trap, instead of forcing his way into the Qige Mountains, which they were sure to have set up with a restrictive array.

Ningfa believed that if these three saw that he was seriously injured, there was a high chance that they would not notify the Tianli people and would take action themselves.

After all, judging from the information Ji Lianxing had given him before, the reason why Shen Xinlan and the others wanted to join forces to kill him was not only because they had a great grudge against him, but also because they coveted the opportunity he possessed.

Therefore, they would not be willing to share such a good opportunity to enjoy what he possessed with the Tianli people.

Of course, this is just Ningfa's guess, and there are still some risks, such as them still notifying the Tianli people to come together.

But it didn't matter to Ning Fa, because now that he had successfully cultivated the Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation Sword Formation, his confidence had greatly increased.

Even if the enemy is too strong and he is no match for them, escaping shouldn't be too difficult.

Moreover, he also possessed the top-grade teleportation talisman given to him by the Hermit of Xuyuan, as well as a way out with Ning Daozhen.

At this moment, Ning Fa's expression changed, and he heard Ji Lianxing's voice transmission in his ear.

Ning Fa smiled, then got up and went to the main hall of the cave, where everyone was already waiting.

Ning Fa glanced around and said in a deep voice, "Alright everyone, you can now proceed to Fangkun Mountain Range according to the previous plan. Meet Ning Daozhen there, and he will help you return to Cangyuan."

Hearing this, the others were somewhat surprised. Xiao Pengyuan breathed a sigh of relief after his unexpected words, while Sang Wen frowned and said, "You're letting us leave first? Don't you want us to stay and help you fight the enemy?"

Xiao Pengyuan immediately coughed and said, "Yes, Fellow Daoist Ning, we can also lend a hand."

However, his eyes darted around, clearly indicating that he felt somewhat guilty.

Ning Fa shook his head: "Since I dare to stay here by myself, I must have some confidence that even if I am not defeated, I will be able to escape safely."

"To be honest, the opponents are all late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. Your presence here won't be of much help to me; in fact, it might hinder my actions."

Upon hearing this, Sang Wen frowned even more. Just as she was about to say something more, Ning Fa waved her hand, signaling her not to say anything more.

"Alright, let's decide on this. You can also take Fellow Daoist Bai and Fellow Daoist Wen with you."

Xiao Pengyuan immediately patted his chest and said, "Fellow Daoist Ning, don't worry."

Sang Wen gave him a deep look, sighed, and nodded.

Soon, Sang Wen and the others got up. They were going to the original cave and leave through the special blood spring teleportation array left by Ning Daozhen.

In fact, Ningfa knew that the teleportation array in the Qige Mountains was still intact.

Because Huangfu Hong and his group, along with the Tianli people, certainly wouldn't dare destroy this teleportation array.

Because in this way, the other end of the teleportation array will definitely notice, and then Master Xuyuan will definitely be on guard and will use special means to warn him.

However, Ningfa felt that since the Tianli people had already discovered the place, even if he mobilized their forces, they would probably deploy heavy troops to guard it.

Therefore, he still allowed Sang Wen and the others to return to Cangyuan along Ning Daozhen's route, which was also a way to protect them.

At this moment, only Ning Fa and Ji Lianxing remained in the cave.

Ji Lianxing's beautiful face, as white as mutton fat jade, was filled with a pitiful expression. Her voice was soft and charming as she said, "Brother Ning, you wouldn't abandon your little sister after you've served your purpose, would you?"
My little sister is completely devoted to you now, and is even thinking of offering herself to you in the future.

Ning Fa looked at her speechlessly. This woman probably heard about his reputation for being a womanizer, so she deliberately said those words in an attempt to save her life.

He said irritably, "I, Ningfa, never go back on my word. As long as you do as I say, I will naturally protect you."

Upon hearing this, Ji Lianxing's peach blossom eyes immediately crinkled into a smile, revealing her alluring charm.

Ning Fa ignored her and returned to the quiet room to prepare for the upcoming battle.

First, he was communicating with Baili Ming.

"Fellow Daoist Baili, you should be fine taking action afterward, right?" Ning Fa asked again to confirm.

"Since you've promised to share some of the Soul-Deriving Divine Springs you acquire with me in the future, then I'll take action not only this time, but ten more times if I want to."

Baili Ming chuckled and said, his voice full of energy, clearly indicating that his soul power had recovered somewhat after so much time had passed.

Ning Fa nodded: "That would be perfect."

Although he was confident that after cultivating the Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation Sword Formation, he, along with Lan Dian and Xiao Bing, should be able to kill Huangfu Hong and the other two.

However, with the assistance of Baili Ming, who possesses strength equivalent to a mid-level Grand Master, the chances of success are naturally much greater.

This time, he must do everything in his power to ensure that none of the three escape.

This is also one of the reasons why he didn't allow Sang Wen and Xiao Pengyuan to participate, because Baili Ming is also an important trump card of his, and he is also involved with the Nine Immortals Society, so it is better not to show his face unless necessary.

Unfortunately, Baili Ming is not his Heavenly Puppet after all, especially since his soul power is currently weak and he will not easily take action. If you want him to help, you must pay a price.

However, Baili Ming had brought up this matter earlier, and the price was that if Ning Fa were to obtain the Soul-Deriving Divine Spring in the future, he would have to share some with him.

Because such a fifth-tier divine soul artifact would be an invaluable tonic for him at this moment, he naturally craved it. At this moment, Ning Fa's eyes flashed, and he changed the subject, asking, "Fellow Daoist Baili, regarding that terrifying ancient immortal from before, have you remembered anything?"

Before Ning Fa heard Ning Daozhen and Dan Hongzi talk about the ancient immortal, the Netherworld Heavenly Pool, and the Soul-Deriving Divine Spring, he asked Baili Ming about it.

After all, this person is an old monster who has lived for a long time. He used to be in Tianwu, so he should have some impression of him.

Upon hearing this, Baili Ming paused for a moment, then said in a slightly solemn voice, "I have indeed recalled some relevant records."

About 30,000 years ago, a truly terrifying creature suddenly appeared.

He first stirred up a bloody storm in the Great Qin Dynasty, and it is said that two Nascent Soul cultivators died at his hands.

Then this person came to our Tianwu and went on a killing spree as well.

In the end, it was the Nine Immortals Society of Tianwu and the Qian Yuan Trading Company of Da Qin who took the lead in integrating the top forces of the two cultivation worlds to jointly deal with that terrifying existence.

After paying a heavy price, they finally managed to kill him.

However, the name and origin of that terrifying being have never been revealed, and the major powers seem to be very secretive about it.

Now that you've said that, that terrifying being must be the ancient immortal who emerged from that ancient immortal island, right?

"Tsk tsk, I never imagined that such a strange place would exist right next to your remote cultivation world."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fa's gaze narrowed slightly, and a sense of gravity settled in his heart. He became even more eager to obtain the Soul-Deriving Divine Spring to cultivate the Moon Soul Crystal Core.

The existence of such terror is so terrifying that it puts a lot of pressure on anyone who hears about it.

Meanwhile, inside the cave at the upper level of Black Wind Canyon, Huangfu Hong and Pei Nanshu were anxiously looking at the tightly closed door of a stone chamber.

Not long after, with a creaking sound, the stone chamber door opened, and Shen Xinlan walked out gracefully.

Pei Nanshu immediately stood up, asking with a hint of urgency, "Fellow Daoist Shen, how is the situation?"

A smile bloomed on Shen Xinlan's beautiful face: "By using the Spirit Transfer Technique to attach a wisp of divine thought to my disciple, I confirmed Ning Fa's current state, which is indeed as my disciple said."

It might even be more serious; I feel I could wipe it out single-handedly.

Upon hearing this, Pei Nanshu and Huangfu Hong immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Huangfu Hong's eyes flickered slightly as he asked, "Fellow Daoist Shen, you wouldn't really have such intentions, would you?"

"Hehe, of course not. Although that kid is seriously injured, his supernatural abilities are really strange and powerful. It would be safer for the three of us to go together."

Shen Xinlan chuckled softly.

In fact, the thought did flash through her mind.

However, she had only recently advanced to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and facing the renowned Ning Fa, even though he was severely injured, she didn't have much confidence. Otherwise, she really would have wanted to take it all for herself.

Pei Nanshu stroked his beard and smiled: "In that case, things might get complicated if we delay. Let's set off as soon as possible."

"Use the prepared rhetoric to stall those Tianli people. By the time they realize what's happening, we should have already succeeded, and they won't be able to do anything about it."

The three exchanged a smile and then quickly left the place.

Ten days later.

At the edge of the Wanling Mountains, demonic energy billowed, and every now and then, powerful beasts as big as small mountains roared as they charged from the depths of the mountains and then roared away.

Now, the demonized beasts of the Wanling Mountains have completely broken out of the mountains and begun to wreak havoc on the nearby Tianli region.

Because the Tianli army was engaged in frontline operations in Cangyuan, they were unable to react in time, which exacerbated the beast infestation.

At this moment, a faint, almost imperceptible glimmer of light was flying at a considerable speed into the depths of the Wanling Mountains in the low sky.

Before long, the light had traveled more than a thousand miles into the depths of the mountains and stopped outside a tall mountain peak that resembled a bird spreading its wings.

The beam of light circled the mountain range briefly before stopping at a spot where an inconspicuous cave entrance could be seen on the nearby mountainside.

The ray of light paused for a moment, then flew into it.

The cave was very spacious, with an area of ​​over a thousand square meters and a ceiling that was several tens of feet high. In the empty hall, a person was sitting cross-legged.

This person was Ning Fa.

Beside him sat a woman in a black dress, alluring and charming, with her head bowed and eyebrows lowered, like a maid; this was Ji Lianxing.

Ning Fa suddenly opened his eyes, slowly got up, looked at a seemingly deserted corner, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Since you've come from afar, why not show yourself?"
