Chapter 294 An Easy Kill Against a Higher Level

"Lord Xu, what are you doing?"

Gong Weiyi quickly realized what was happening and instinctively shielded Gao Jian.

His expression towards Xu Ning was one of displeasure, but reason allowed him to restrain himself.

"Xu Ning, what's wrong?"

Zhang He also looked somewhat serious.

He knew Xu Ning and knew that Xu Ning was definitely not the kind of person who would bully others at will.

"Ask him."

Xu Ning stared coldly at Gao Jian: "Who exactly are you?"

"Lord Xu, this is my beloved disciple, Gao Jian..."

Gong Weiyi was puzzled at this point.

However, just as he was defending Gao Jian, Gao Jian himself had a strange expression on his face.

Then, Gao Jian burst into laughter.

"sharp!"

Gao Jian praised Xu Ning, his original restraint vanishing, replaced by an air of arrogance.

"To be able to sense my true state when you're only at the Core Formation Realm is truly impressive!"

Gao Jian's smile vanished, and a murderous intent began to emerge.

"Gao Jian, no, you are not Gao Jian!"

At this point, Gong Weiyi also noticed the anomaly.

Before him, his beloved disciple's aura began to rise, and his appearance also changed.

In the blink of an eye, Gao Jian's originally handsome face transformed into that of an effeminate man.

The aura emanating from him was no longer that of the Qi Refining Realm, but rather an aura that made Gong Weiyi and Zhang He feel oppressed.

"Seventh level of the Dao Realm, Initial Origin Realm!"

Gong Weiyi and Zhang He were greatly surprised.

"Who are you, and why are you here? Where is my apprentice, Gao Jian?"

Gong Weiyi pulled his disciple Chu Shan, who was standing there stunned, over and asked the effeminate man a question.

His mind went blank for a moment.

"I was originally going to spare your lives, but now that my identity has been exposed, I have no choice but to be ruthless!"

A wave of energy emanated from the effeminate man, shattering the carriage into pieces.

Gong Weiyi and Zhang He were also thrown back, blood spilling from the corners of their mouths.

Gong Weiyi, in particular, suffered severe internal injuries while protecting his disciple Chu Shan.

At the same time, the shockwave also overturned the surrounding carriages and soldiers of the Prince's Palace.

In an instant, the procession returning to the city became haphazard and chaotic.

"Um?"

The effeminate man then noticed that amidst the chaos, Xu Ning, who had initially discovered his identity, was standing not far away, staring directly at him.

There seemed to be a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

It seems like a provocation.

This offended the effeminate man.

This is an offense from a Grandmaster of the Core Formation Realm to a Grandmaster of the Initial Origin Realm.

"It seems you still don't know how powerful a Primal Origin Realm Grandmaster who has comprehended the power of origin is!"

The effeminate man raised his hand.

Then, a white light flashed above everyone's heads.

A pure white sword shadow suddenly descended, heading straight for Xu Ning's head.

"Xu Ning, watch out!"

Sensing the terrifying aura of the pure white sword shadow, Zhang He quickly gave a warning.

Zhang He sensed that he would be killed with a single blow under that pure white sword shadow.

However, Xu Ning remained calm.

Just as the pure white sword shadow was about to pierce Xu Ning's skull.

A phantom of a void beast suddenly appeared behind Xu Ning.

The void beast roared.

Then, the top of Xu Ning's head twisted, and the pure white sword shadow shattered in an instant.

"Such a powerful origin technique!?"

The effeminate man's pupils suddenly contracted.

His own original technique was completely neutralized by the opponent's original technique in one move.

In an instant, the effeminate man abandoned his previous contempt and became as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Illusory Beast Shadow, Weaver of Night!"

Immediately afterwards, another phantom of a demonic beast appeared behind Xu Ning.

This time, it's Soyamon.

The effeminate man suddenly felt his vision go black.

This is not visual blackness, but the blackness of an endless abyss where all perception is sucked away.

"not good!"

The effeminate man panicked and hurriedly activated his last remaining trace of primal power, trying to break free from this state.

However, just as he was struggling to break free from the endless darkness he was experiencing, the Flowing Cloud Thorn arrived before his eyes.

puff!

The Flowing Cloud pierced through the effeminate man's head.

boom!

The next moment, the power stored in the Flowing Cloud Thorn erupted.

The effeminate man died on the spot.

"Is this all the strength I have now...?"

In the blink of an eye, Xu Ning killed the initial stage master in front of him.

This was something he himself hadn't expected.

Xu Ning already knew he had the ability to kill enemies of a higher level, but doing it so easily still made him feel somewhat unreal.

Although the opponent underestimated him and the Shadow Weaver's ability to launch surprise attacks were partly due to the fact that Xu Ning's true combat strength was terrifying, it still couldn't hide the fact that he was truly powerful.

"Xu Ning..."

Zhang He watched as the effeminate man's head exploded right in front of him, and he was still reeling from the shock.

Gong Weiyi also felt a buzzing in his brain, which was beyond the common sense of martial arts.

Behind him, his female disciple Chu Shan looked at Xu Ning with fervent respect and admiration in her eyes.

That's a Grandmaster at the Initial Origin Realm!

In such a short time, he was killed by a Grandmaster of the Core Formation Realm.

At this moment, some people in the chaotic and disorganized group were still unaware of what had happened.

Xu Ning walked over to the effeminate man's body and began to grope him.

"The Concealment Ring!"

Soon, Xu Ning discovered a concealment ring on the effeminate man's finger.

Although this Concealment Ring is not the same style as Xu Ning's, after inspection, it was found that its activation mechanism is exactly the same as his own.

"This initial stage master is from the Hidden Sect!"

Xu Ning immediately determined the man's identity.

The Hidden Concealment Ring in Xu Ning's hand was obtained from the San Yin Sect.

"Xu Ning!"

After a moment of stunned silence, Zhang He finally came to his senses.

He quickly got up and walked to Xu Ning's side.

"What's going on?"

Zhang He quickly inquired.

"This person is a member of the Hermit Sect."

Xu Ning said, "He disguised himself as Gao Jian, a disciple of the Hanxing Sect."

"this……"

Zhang He instantly realized the seriousness of the situation.

At this juncture, the purpose of the Sanyin Sect members infiltrating the Hanxing Sect's city is self-evident.

This is definitely a scheme to harm Duan Chaofeng.

"What?"

At this moment, Gong Weiyi also came over.

Upon hearing Xu Ning's words, his heart clenched, and he was filled with lingering fear.

At this moment, Gong Weiyi had no time to think about where his true disciple, Gao Jian, had gone.

He knew that if Xu Ning failed to find and kill this person, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If this person harms Duan Chaofeng, even if it is later found that he is not a member of the Hanxing Sect, the Hanxing Sect will still bear extremely serious consequences for its mistake.

By then, let alone whether they will survive, it's uncertain whether the sect will even exist.

The Duan royal family will definitely direct their anger towards me and the Hanxing Sect.

"This matter must be reported immediately!"

Zhang He said in a deep voice.

Xu Ning hummed in agreement and nodded.

"It's a bit of a pity..."

If Xu Ning had known how strong he was now, he should have spared this man's life.

In this way, we can still extract some useful information from the mouths of the survivors.

Next, Xu Ning searched the effeminate man's body and found a storage ring.

Xu Ning explored the area and discovered that it contained some resources, worth approximately 500 million units of energy.

After checking the contents of this storage ring, if there are no suspicious resources, Xu Ning can keep it.

"Sect Leader Gong, you were careless in this matter."

Zhang He turned his head, and his attitude towards Gong Weiyi also changed somewhat.

"Yes……"

Gong Weiyi gave a helpless, bitter smile.

"You come with us to see the Crown Prince. As for your people from the Hanxing Sect, don't go into the city yet."

Zhang He added.

After giving instructions and making all the necessary arrangements, Xu Ning, Zhang He, and Gong Weiyi headed directly to the Ye Prince's Mansion in the city.

……

"Is that so?"

Inside the study, Duan Chaofeng looked at Xu Ning and the other two in front of him, his face ashen.

Just now, Xu Ning and the other two arrived and explained the situation to Duan Chaofeng.

Duan Chaofeng, who was about to inherit the throne of King Ye, had been in high spirits lately. However, his mood was completely ruined when he heard that some members of the Sanyin Sect might be plotting against him.

"Your Highness, the people of the Sanyin Sect are appearing more and more frequently throughout Wansheng Prefecture, committing numerous evil deeds. Their appearance here now must be premeditated."

"Since one person was able to infiltrate the sect and get close to you by participating in the ceremony, it's possible that others are also lurking in the shadows. In the foreign groups that came into the city in the past few days and the days that followed, there's no guarantee that there weren't other hidden members of the Scattered Hidden Sect among them. If they managed to infiltrate the ceremony, then your safety would be in serious jeopardy."

Zhang He thoughtfully offered his analysis.

"good."

Duan Chaofeng also agreed: "We must investigate and eliminate any hidden dangers."

"Your Highness, to resolve this matter quickly, we need not only the support of the Prince's Mansion but also the support of the Imperial Court. We should pass this message on to the Governor and have him mobilize the Imperial Army to investigate the members of the Hidden Sect."

Zhang He added.

"Yes, that's how it should be."

Duan Chaofeng said, "Nowadays, the court is also intensifying its efforts to suppress the reclusive faction."

"Zhang He, you take care of this matter."

Duan Chaofeng continued.

"Yes."

After saying this, Zhang He turned and left.

"Your Highness, because of my negligence, you were almost put in danger. Please punish me."

At this moment, Gong Weiyi also spoke up.

"It's not your fault."

Duan Chaofeng did not pursue the matter further: "It's normal that you couldn't defend against a Grandmaster at the Initial Origin Realm. There's no need to feel too ashamed."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Gong Weiyi felt relieved, knowing that he had escaped this trouble.

"But you, Xu Ning..."

Duan Chaofeng looked at Xu Ning, started to speak but then stopped himself.

It seems there's really no need to praise it.

This wasn't the first time Xu Ning had killed an enemy of a higher level.

Although this time, it was a Dan Transformation Realm cultivator, whose realm difference was much greater, who killed a Chuyuan Realm cultivator.
