Chapter 228 Taking the Initiative

"That person's storage ring...?"

Xu Ning took it from Wan Ye's hands.

Because he was in a hurry to resolve the troubles within the sect, Xu Ning hadn't had time to take the storage ring from Luan Shijian.

Xu Ning erased the mark from the storage ring, examined it, and found that it contained a number of restorative pills.

The refining techniques for these pills are not difficult. Even without having mastered the Dao Realm sword techniques, Xu Ning could barely refine them. However, it was difficult to find all the necessary materials in the seventeen states of Yuanbei.

"These restorative pills were likely brought specifically to address the scarcity of spiritual energy in the seventeen prefectures of Yuanbei..."

Xu Ning guessed.

Besides a large number of restorative pills, the storage ring also contained the Daoist weapon tiger that Luan Shijian had used before, which Wan Ye also included.

"So, what are your plans for the future?"

Wan Ye asked Xu Ning.

"I plan to rest and recuperate until I'm in top condition, then I'll take the initiative to find the people from the Biye Sect and completely eliminate this trouble."

A cold glint appeared in Xu Ning's eyes.

Since the people of the Biye Sect want to destroy the Yuelan Sect, they must make them pay a heavy price.

Are you confident?

Wan Ye raised an eyebrow.

"have."

Xu Ning nodded: "The Wind and Smoke Gourd given by Senior Jin Meng is extremely powerful. Even when fighting against multiple opponents, it can break them apart one by one and deal with them individually. If we can further activate the destructive power of the gray mist and smoke, we will have a certain chance against a martial artist at the second level of the Dao Realm and the Gang Qi Realm."

"I see..."

For a moment, Wan Ye felt a pang of sadness.

Thinking back to when I first broke through to the Dao Realm, I was overjoyed, but when facing other Grandmasters of the Fusion Body Realm, I still felt apprehensive.

Xu Ning, who had also just broken through, had already begun planning how to defeat a Grandmaster of the Qi Refining Realm.

"Now that you have shown yourself, senior, your whereabouts will soon reach the ears of those Biye Sect members, and we must make a decision for them."

Xu Ning confessed, "Moreover, the demon beast diagram is also on Hui Bai's body, so the people of the Bi Ye Sect are a threat that must be dealt with no matter how you look at it."

"Grayish-white, you mean that Void Beast? The demonic beast image is on its body?"

Wan Ye frowned.

"Yes."

Xu Ning responded.

Wanye shook his head helplessly.

The things that Biye Sect sought and the people they were looking for were both right beside Xu Ning.

Moreover, since conflict has already broken out between the two sides, the only outcome is a decisive battle.

"Do you need any restorative pills?"

Wan Ye asked, intending to prepare for the next battle with Xu Ning.

"No need. This person's storage ring contains quite a few basic pills that are effective for Dao Realm Grandmasters, which is more than enough for me."

Xu Ning responded.

"In that case, you should find a place to rest and recuperate."

Wanye said.

……

Afterwards, Mi Xingye made proper arrangements for the three elders.

Several hours later, Yuan Cheng returned.

He brought with him a Dao Realm Grandmaster from the Yuansheng Sect of Wansheng Prefecture.

The Dao Realm Grandmaster was named Teng Yunkong. He was one of the two Dao Realm Grandmasters who returned to Yuanbei Yuansheng Sect this time, and he was a peak Fusion Body Realm Grandmaster.

After receiving the message for help from Yuan Cheng, Teng Yun Kong immediately sped up his journey and even used a one-time consumable special item to increase his speed.

Before arriving, Yuan Cheng was extremely anxious.

He only hoped that the three previous elders could hold on for half a day after forcibly breaking through to the Dao Realm.

However, after actually bringing Teng Yunkong there, they discovered that Yue Lan Sect was not facing any imminent crisis.

Upon entering the sect, the atmosphere was incredibly relaxed.

Yuan Cheng grabbed a disciple and questioned him, only to learn that Xu Ning had advanced to the Dao Realm and returned to the sect, and had killed the invading Dao Realm Grandmaster.

Yuan Cheng was completely dumbfounded.

Teng Yunkong of the Yuansheng Sect in Wansheng Prefecture also found it unbelievable.

It's truly outrageous that a young man who has just advanced to the Dao Realm could kill another Grandmaster who has been at the Fusion Body Realm for a long time.

When Teng Yunkong was in Wansheng Prefecture, he had dealings with the Biye Sect.

He knew very well that the elders of the Azure Night Sect were all quite strong among the Grandmasters of the Body Fusion Realm, and none of them were weak.

To confirm this fact, Yuan Cheng took Teng Yun Kong to see Mi Xingye.

Upon receiving Mi Xingye's confirmation and learning that Xu Ning possessed the potential of six attribute seeds, Teng Yunkong immediately felt a desire to befriend Xu Ning and hurriedly requested to meet him.

So Mi Xingye had his disciple summon Xu Ning.

"Nephew Xu Ning!"

The moment Teng Yunkong saw Xu Ning, he sensed his extraordinary talent and profound knowledge.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and felt it firsthand, he wouldn't have believed that Xu Ning had only recently advanced to the Dao Realm.

"Senior Teng."

Through Mi Xingye's introduction, Xu Ning also learned about Teng Yunkong's identity.

Several hours have passed, and after taking several pills, Xu Ning has recovered about 90% of his energy.

"Junior Nephew Xu Ning is incredibly talented, truly amazing."

Teng Yunkong meant it sincerely.

He knew very well that he was no match for Xu Ning.

"Senior Teng, you flatter me."

Xu Ning said modestly.

"Now that you, Junior Nephew Xu Ning, have killed an elder of the Biye Sect, this will surely incur the wrath of their sect leader, Lu Zhanxing."

Teng Yunkong reminded him.

"It's alright, even if he doesn't come looking for me, I'll still go looking for him."

Subsequently, Xu Ning also expressed his intention to actively seek trouble with the Biye Sect.

Teng Yunkong, Mi Xingye, Yuan Cheng, and the others looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing this.

Mi Xingye immediately became worried and tried to dissuade Xu Ning: "That is a Grandmaster of the Qi Refining Realm. Although you have a deep foundation, you are still a realm weaker than him."

Although the true combat strength of the Qi Refining Realm is unknown, Lu Zhanxing, the sect leader of the Biye Sect, is a realm higher than Xu Ning, so dealing with him would definitely be fraught with danger.

"Master, rest assured. My six attribute seeds have advanced, giving me a solid foundation that is far superior to that of ordinary Dao Realm Grandmasters. Moreover, I have other trump cards up my sleeve. Even if I cannot defeat Lu Zhanxing, I can certainly save my life."

Xu Ning also pointed out her own strengths to reassure Mi Xingye.

After hearing this, Mi Xingye ultimately chose not to say anything more, only offering a concerned remark: "In that case, be careful..."

Xu Ning has grown to this point, and it's no longer something he can interfere with at will.

At this moment, Teng Yunkong was at a loss for words.

All he can think about right now is how to get along with Xu Ning.

Teng Yunkong knew very well that with Xu Ning's talent and strength, he would grow into a big shot even if he went to Wansheng Prefecture.

The Yuansheng Sect of Wansheng Prefecture is located on the other side of the Endless Abyss. It is an informal sect, and the environment in which they live is extremely harsh.

If Xu Ning can grow up in Wansheng Prefecture in the future, then they will definitely benefit from it.

After a brief exchange, Teng Yunkong took the initiative to seek a private conversation with Xu Ning.

Seeing this, Mi Xingye also took the others and left under an excuse.

"Nephew Xu Ning, although this is our first meeting, we actually have a deep connection."

Teng Yunkong began to build rapport: "You were born in Feiyun Prefecture and have old acquaintances with the Yuansheng Sect. When you go to Wansheng Prefecture, we can look after each other. You could even join my Wansheng Prefecture Yuansheng Sect if you wish."

Teng Yunkong now knows that Xu Ning's combat strength may be comparable to that of a Grandmaster of the Qi Refining Realm.

Even the strongest in the Yuansheng Sect of Wansheng Prefecture is no more than this. If Xu Ning could join the Yuansheng Sect of Wansheng Prefecture, even as a guest elder, it would be a great help to the sect.

"That probably won't work..."

Xu Ning declined directly.

Upon hearing this, Teng Yunkong assumed that Xu Ning was concerned about changing his sect affiliation.

He was about to explain to Xu Ning that it was a very common thing for people from other states to change sects after entering Wansheng State.

However, Xu Ning's words shattered his hopes.

"I have accepted Senior Wanye's sect order and gone to Wansheng Prefecture. Now I am a member of the Yanlu Sect."

"this……"

Teng Yunkong was taken aback.

"My breakthrough to the Dao Realm this time was also thanks to Senior Wanye's help."

Xu Ning then offered another explanation.

"So the sect token that the Azure Night Sect has been desperately seeking has already fallen into Xu Ning's hands..."

Upon hearing this, Teng Yunkong knew that it was no longer possible for Xu Ning to be recruited into the sect.

"The Swallow and Egret Sect..."

Teng Yunkong pondered for a moment: "Since that's the case, then naturally I can't force you."

"However, Xu Ning..."

Teng Yunkong said, "Rebuilding a sect in Wansheng Prefecture is not an easy task. Especially since the Yanlu Sect has been disbanded for a hundred years, and its people's hearts have been scattered. This must be a huge challenge for you."

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Teng. I'm all ready."

Xu Ning responded.

"In that case, if you encounter any trouble when rebuilding your sect in Wansheng Prefecture, you can always seek our assistance."

Teng Yunkong is also releasing goodwill.

Xu Ning thanked him again after hearing this.

"By the way, when do you plan to deal with the troubles caused by the Azure Night Sect?"

Teng Yunkong asked.

We will set off tomorrow.

Xu Ning estimated that he would be back to his best condition by tomorrow morning.

"How about the day after tomorrow?"

Teng Yunkong said, "Wait another day, and I will summon my fellow Grandmaster of the Fusion Realm. We will go to the Azure Night Sect together."

"The Azure Night Sect is a nuisance to the seventeen states of Yuanbei. Since we come from here, we naturally have an obligation to deal with them."

After weighing the options, Xu Ning finally nodded in agreement: "Okay."

In this way, with Wan Ye included, they can gather a total of four Dao Realm Grandmasters.

Moreover, they all achieved breakthroughs naturally, resulting in a more solid foundation and greater strength.

……

After another day of rest, Gu Man, another Dao Realm Grandmaster from the Yuansheng Sect, arrived.

Gu Man is a female Grandmaster of the Fusion Realm. Because Grandmasters of the Dao Realm never lose their youthful appearance, Xu Ning cannot deduce her true age.

After the four of them gathered, they set off for Chun Gu Prefecture.

They had already learned from the Biye Sect disciples that the Biye Sect's headquarters in the seventeen states of Yuanbei was located in a county town in Chungu State.

In just three days, they had almost traversed the entire seventeen states of Yuanbei, arriving in Chungu State from Jifeng State.

"Azure Night Sect..."

At this moment, Xu Ning and the others had already located the exact location.
