I have a martial arts panel.

Chapter 283 First-Class Retainer of the Prince's Mansion?

Xin Andao could clearly sense the terrifying power of this horrific attack.

The destructive power of this attack was comparable to the full-force strike of a Grandmaster at the fourth level of the Dao Realm, the Core Formation Realm.

"So this is the method of the Danhai Demon Sect...?"

The Prefect Ji below had a complex expression in his eyes, but he did not make any move.

"metropolitan!"

Teng Yunkong, Gu Man, and the others were all furious and, disregarding their own lives, were about to get up and go on stage.

The other onlookers also sensed the danger on Xin'an Road.

"If this attack lands..."

Xin Andao also knew that something bad was about to happen.

Having suffered such a heavy blow, he would either die or be severely injured, and then Ding Bai would finish him off.

Xin Andao had already seen the ferocity and killing intent in Ding Bai's eyes.

Bang!

However, just as the attack was about to land, a figure suddenly appeared.

With a wave of his hand, Ding Bai was thrown back like a ball by tremendous force, crashing into the protective barrier.

The protective barrier shattered instantly.

"We agreed to a friendly spar, but you've shown murderous intent. That's not fair..."

Xu Ning stood in front of Xin Andao.

He looked down at Ding Bai, who had fallen to the ground.

"Who is this person?!"

Ding Bai only just realized what was happening.

He only felt a blur before his eyes, and then felt his body being thrown back by a terrifying force, directly crashing into and shattering the protective barrier.

Ding Bai stood up, looking at Xu Ning with a horrified expression.

Although he felt he was not injured, Xu Ning's terrifying strength made him very alarmed.

"Could this person be a Grandmaster at the sixth level of the Dao Realm, the Core Formation stage?"

The invisible pressure exerted by Xu Ning reminded Ding Bai of his cousin.

His cousin was a steward at the Dan Transformation Realm of the Danhai Demon Sect.

"Um?!"

Xu Ning's sudden appearance also caused Prefect Ji to stand up abruptly.

Looking at Xu Ning, his heart skipped a beat.

Xu Ning appeared on the stage in an instant and knocked Ding Bai away. Prefect Ji didn't even have time to react.

At this moment, Prefect Ji was well aware that the man before him was stronger than himself.

"That's...it's Xu Ning!"

At this moment, Teng Yunkong and Gu Man, who were below the stage, were both dumbfounded.

"Xu Ning has become this strong?"

They all recognized Xu Ning immediately.

Teng Yunkong and Gu Man exchanged a glance.

Soon, the shock in their eyes slowly turned into relief.

The strength Xu Ning just displayed definitely surpasses that of the Core Formation Realm.

Now that he has appeared here and is willing to stand up for the Yuansheng Sect, the current crisis of the Yuansheng Sect can be resolved.

"And who are you?"

At this moment, Xin Andao looked at the strange man in front of him with surprise.

He never expected that he would be rescued, especially by a stranger.

"Sect Leader Xin, I am Xu Ning from Yuanbei."

Xu Ning smiled faintly.

"Xu Ning!"

Xin Andao was taken aback at first, then his expression became eager.

Fellow townsmen from Yuanbei!

Although Xin Andao had never met Xu Ning before, he had heard of him from Teng Yunkong and Gu Man.

He knew that Xu Ning not only had amazing martial arts talent, but also could kill enemies of higher levels, making him extremely powerful.

He personally resolved the crisis facing the Biye Sect in Yuanbei at that time.

Thinking of Xu Ning's strength just now, Xin An knew that the Yuan Sheng Sect was safe today.

"Who are you, daring to disrupt the order of the Drunken Moon County Sect Tournament?"

At this moment, Prefect Ji, who was below the stage, appeared on the stage in an instant and confronted Xu Ning.

Prefect Ji's expression was not good.

This sect gathering was hosted by Zuiyue County, and as the county governor, I was watching it live. If I didn't step forward to prevent this disruption of order, my reputation would be damaged.

Just as Prefect Ji had expected, the onlookers below, who had initially been bewildered, were now filled with curiosity, all with the intention of watching a spectacle.

The sect tournament was already exciting enough, but now there were unexpected changes, making it even more enjoyable for everyone.

"Disrupting public order?"

Xu Ning remained completely calm in the face of this Prefect.

"I simply couldn't stand watching people take lives under the guise of friendly competition, so I stopped the match."

Xu Ning also exuded an aura of authority: "Moreover, I didn't harm Ding Bai in the slightest."

Xu Ning was very careful; when he pushed Ding Bai away, he only used a clever technique.

Although no one present was his match, this was, after all, someone else's territory, so Xu Ning remained cautious and tried his best not to give anyone cause for criticism.

"I'm asking you who you are?"

Prefect Ji narrowed his eyes slightly.

At this moment, he realized that Xu Ning was not afraid of him at all.

"My name is Xu Ning from Guqing Prefecture, a retainer of the Ye Prince's Mansion."

As he spoke, Xu Ning took out his retainer's token from the Ye Prince's mansion.

Now, Xu Ning's retainer order has been upgraded by Duan Chaofeng to become a first-class retainer order of Ye Wang Mansion.

Those who possess the First-Class Retainer's Token within the Ye Prince's Mansion are mostly high-level Grandmasters of the Dao Realm.

Xu Ning, on the other hand, was granted the title of First-Class Retainer because of his great potential and the high regard he held by Prince Duan Chaofeng.

"A retainer of the Prince Ye's mansion?"

Prefect Ji was startled.

Although the Ye Wang Mansion is not in Fengling Prefecture, it is still a royal family.

Ye Wang was a powerful prince within the entire royal family.

Moreover, Mo Wang of Fengling Prefecture and Ye Wang have a good relationship.

The moment Xu Ning revealed his identity, Prefect Ji knew that he could not bring himself to punish this person today.

Even though the Ye Prince's Mansion is far away in Guqing Prefecture, I can't do anything to Xu Ning, otherwise I would be slapping the face of the Ye Prince's Mansion, which would be slapping the face of the royal Duan family.

At that time, Ye Wangfu won't even need to lift a finger; even Mo Wang of Fengling Prefecture will have to put pressure on them.

"Moreover, the retainer's token in this person's possession appears to be a first-class retainer's token!"

Prefect Ji also noticed this detail.

The first-class retainers of the Prince's mansion, let alone himself, would not be offended by even the governor.

"What? This person is actually a retainer of the Ye Prince's mansion?"

Upon hearing Xu Ning's self-introduction, the scene erupted in uproar.

Zuiyue County is not a powerful county; most of the top experts in the county are here.

In their view, the Prince's Mansion was a very distant place.

None of those who were able to enter the Prince's mansion and become his retainers were simple people.

"Xu Ning has actually become a retainer of the Ye Prince's mansion!"

Teng Yunkong and Gu Man were overjoyed.

In this way, not only will the crisis be resolved, but as long as Xu Ning is willing to provide protection, the Yuansheng Sect will not have to give up the Azure Pattern Cold Iron Mine.

"So it's Brother Xu from the Ye Prince's Mansion."

Prefect Ji's attitude also softened.

"Prefect Ji, I have offended you greatly today. I have a deep connection with the Yuansheng Sect, and it is naturally impossible for me to witness the sect leader being killed. Therefore, I acted rashly, please forgive me."

Seeing the change in the other party's attitude, Xu Ning also lowered his stance.

In other people's territory, things that can be resolved amicably should be resolved amicably; there's no need to create so much conflict.

"There's no question of forgiveness!"

Seeing that Xu Ning was so cooperative, Prefect Ji disregarded the opinions of others and became even closer to Xu Ning.

"Prefect Ji, our Yuansheng Sect will not participate in today's sect conference. I saw that many of our disciples were injured while watching the battles the past two days. Under these circumstances, we are not up to the task of continuing to participate in this sect conference, so we will withdraw for the time being."

Xu Ning also put it tactfully.

"No problem."

Prefect Ji clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Xu Ning also gave a return gift.

Upon seeing this, Xin Andao and Xu Ning stepped off the stage together.

He greeted the elders and disciples of the Yuansheng Sect in the area.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, they walked out of the bustling garden together.

Meanwhile, inside the venue of the sect assembly, many people had ashen faces.

However, due to the lingering power of Xu Ning's earlier actions, no one dared to retaliate.

……

After leaving the bustling garden, the group returned directly to the Yuansheng Sect.

"Xu Ning, thank you so much for today!"

Inside the Yuansheng Sect, Xin Andao, along with the elders, personally thanked Xu Ning.

"Thank you both as well."

Xin Andao also thanked He Mingye and Si Ying who were standing next to him.

"We're both from Yuanbei, why are you talking about gratitude?"

Xu Ning and the other two didn't seem to care much either.

On the way back, Xin Andao and the others learned about Xu Ning's experiences over the past two years.

After learning that the Yanlu Sect had grown stronger, that Xu Ning had become a confidant of Prince Ye, and that he had achieved the fifth level of the Dao Realm, it took them a long time to recover from their numbness.

"Xu Ning."

Xin Andao took the initiative to say, "You already know about the situation of our Yuansheng Sect. The reason why our Yuansheng Sect is being targeted by all sides is because of this Azure-Patterned Cold Iron Mine. If it weren't for you today, our Yuansheng Sect would have suffered a severe blow, and the Azure-Patterned Cold Iron Mine would certainly have been lost as well."

"To express my gratitude, I am willing to give you half of the output of this Azure-Veined Cold Iron Ore."

Xin Andao was also very wealthy.

"No need."

Xu Ning waved his hand.

Xu Ning rejected Xin Andao's proposal for two reasons: first, he did not want to occupy the development resources of the Yuansheng Sect; second, this half of the Qingwen Han Iron Ore was not of great value to Xu Ning.

"Sect Leader Xin."

Xu Ning then changed the subject: "The sect leader of the Yuanbei Yuansheng Sect has been thinking about you. They are very worried because you haven't sent any messages for over a year."

Upon hearing this, Xin Andao also showed a hint of helplessness.

"Our sect's sound-emitting stones have all been used up."

Xin Andao explained, "The reason we can transmit messages from such a distance is because of a damaged treasure. Each time that damaged treasure is activated, a sound-transmitting stone is needed. And sound-transmitting stones are not easy to obtain. Now that they have been used up, we can no longer transmit messages."

"The Far-Sound Stone..."

Xu Ning nodded. Indeed, as Xin Andao said, this thing was not common.

Even Xu Ning, who has ample reserves, doesn't have such a thing in his pocket.

"In any case, since you've come all this way, why don't you stay with us for a while? Let's reminisce about the past in Yuanbei together."

Xin An suggested.

Putting aside the assistance Xu Ning brought to the Yuansheng Sect, the fact that these three were old acquaintances from Yuanbei did indeed make Xin Andao and the others feel closer to them.
