Wind Cloud City, Immortal Welcoming Restaurant.
When Su Zimo's group of four arrived, they casually found a seat by the window on the third floor. There were many immortal fruits, spirit wine and delicacies made from remnant beasts on the table that were filled with fragrance.
Ru Xuan ate with relish.
Just Now, Nangong Ling's name was revealed in front of everyone and scared the other party away, stealing the limelight. At that moment, he was in a great mood!
Yoo Han-yeon leaned against the window and looked at the bustling city with a smile, feeling much more relaxed.
Su Zimo was still holding the Heaven Slaying Sword Art and comprehending it on his own as though no one was around.
"Senior Sister, what's that black stone?"
Ru Xuan's mouth was still stuffed as she sent a voice transmission with her spirit consciousness.
"I'm not sure either. I just have a feeling that the stone is extraordinary."
Yoo Han-yeon said, "Let's get Master to identify it when we return to the sect."
Right then, a series of discussions sounded from downstairs and grew louder.
"Have you heard? A Hundred Refinement Sect cultivator found a treasure!"
"What?!"
"I think it's a Lava Crystal! He nearly got into a fight with someone earlier on!"
"That's right, that's a top-grade spirit material! Even the Dharma Daojun would love to have it!"
Hearing these discussions, Nangong Ling and the other two exchanged glances. Their expressions were solemn and their eyes were filled with both joy and worry.
They were happy that Yoo Han-yeon had indeed found a treasure.
But they were worried that the news had already spread.
Furthermore, at this rate, the entire Wind Cloud City would know about it before long!
Nangong Ling grit her teeth and said hatefully, "It must be that person who leaked the news out of anger because he did not obtain the treasure."
"Truly, humans are sinister,"
Ru Xuan said angrily.
Su Zimo was not surprised by this.
When he saw the hawk-eyed cultivator leave, he guessed that this matter was not over!
Su Zimo looked at the horizon and said, "It's getting late. We've been in Wind Cloud City for a long time. It's time to go back."
This time, Nangong Ling and the other two did not object.
The three of them were clear that once the news of the Lava Crystals spread, they would be in the eye of the storm. Who knew how many pairs of eyes would be watching them!
The longer they stayed outside, the more dangerous it would be!
At this moment, Nangong Ling and the others could faintly sense that more than ten powerful auras were approaching the Immortal Welcoming Inn!
Many cultivators in the restaurant looked over with flickering eyes.
Suddenly!
Heavy footsteps came from downstairs.
The sound of the footsteps was extremely strange. Every step seemed to be able to affect the heartbeat of everyone present, causing their hearts to beat in unison!
The rhythm of his footsteps changed, and unknowingly, everyone's heartbeat changed as well.
It gradually synchronized with the sound of the footsteps!
After what seemed like a long time, a tall and sturdy figure appeared at the top of the stairs. His long hair fluttered in the wind, and his eyes were deep, as if they contained the vast starry sky!
The sound of footsteps stopped abruptly!
It did not sound for a long time.
It was only at this moment that everyone present realized that something was amiss!
After the footsteps stopped, their heartbeats stopped as well, no longer ringing!
Some of the cultivators' expressions turned increasingly terrible.
Their heartbeats stopped and their bloodlines stopped circulating!
Some of the cultivators' faces turned incomparably pale as bean-sized beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads and rolled down.
Thump! Thump!
Some of the cultivators could not withstand it and fell to the side.
Some of the cultivators struggled to break free from the suffocation. They gasped for breath and looked at the person who had arrived with fear.
The expressions of Nangong Ling and the other two turned extremely terrible as well!
He could control the heartbeats of others with his footsteps alone!
The person had just appeared and shocked everyone without saying a single word!
On the third floor, the only person with a normal expression was Su Zimo who was reading with his head lowered.
However, in this huge restaurant, Su Zimo's appearance was truly inconspicuous and not many people noticed it.
Sensing the pain of Nangong Ling and the other two, Su Zimo flicked his finger without raising his head.
A clear sword hum burst forth from his fingertip. It was as soft as a mosquito and only Nangong Ling and the other two could hear it.
However, that sword hum caused Nangong Ling and the other two's heartbeats to return to normal. Their auras were smooth and their bloodlines flowed once more.
Ru Xuan whispered, "Heavenly Dipper Cheng Peng, 15th on the Phenomenon Ranking!"
"This is a little troublesome. I hope he's not here for us." Nangong Ling sent a voice transmission secretly.
He could rely on his status in Hundred Refinement Sect and his reputation of being 83 on the Phenomenon Ranking to force the hawk-eyed cultivator to retreat.
As for Cheng Peng, be it the sect behind him or his ranking on the Phenomenon Ranking, he was superior to Nangong Ling!
Just as Nangong Ling was praying secretly, Cheng Peng turned his head slightly and looked at the four of them. He walked over expressionlessly.
Nangong Ling frowned.
Ru Xuan looked at Su Zimo and then at Nangong Ling, asking repeatedly with voice transmissions, "What should we do? What should we do?"
In the blink of an eye, Cheng Peng had already arrived before Nangong Ling and the other three.
His tall figure almost formed a shadow that enveloped everyone, causing Nangong Ling and the other two to feel a sense of oppression.
Helpless, Nangong Ling could only brace herself and stand up with cupped fists. "I'm Nangong Ling of Hundred Refinement Sect. Greetings, Fellow Daoist Cheng Peng."
"The three of them are also cultivators of Hundred Refinement Sect."
Nangong Ling smiled and gave a brief introduction.
Yoo Han-yeon and Ru Xuan stood up and cupped their fists towards Cheng Peng, nodding in greeting.
Su Zimo was the only one who sat motionlessly on the spot, still reading the ancient book in his hands, as though he was completely immersed.
Cheng Peng swept his gaze and did not take it to heart when he saw that Su Zimo was also a Nascent Soul cultivator and looked unfamiliar.
"I heard that you bought a Lava Crystal,"
Cheng Peng said bluntly, "I need that Lava Crystal. What do you want to exchange for it?"
"This …"
Nangong Ling frowned.
Cheng Peng's words were extremely domineering and did not leave any room for negotiation.
Nangong Ling smiled embarrassedly. "Fellow Daoist, we bought that Lava Crystal first. It's of great use to us as well …"
"I'll say it again,"
Cheng Peng's gaze was cold as he interrupted Nangong Ling and said coldly, "I want that Lava Crystal. Are you going to exchange for it or not?"
Nangong Ling's expression turned terrible.
From the looks of it, Cheng Peng was bent on obtaining the Lava Crystal!
However, if they were to fight, he was definitely not a match for this person.
Even the three of them combined would not be enough!
He was ranked 83 on the Phenomenon Ranking while Cheng Peng was ranked 15 – the difference in combat strength between them was way too great!
Nangong Ling looked at Yoo Han-yeon and took a deep breath. Clenching her fists slightly, she said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist, Heavenly Dipper Sect is one of the nine great immortal sects and our Hundred Refinement Sect is also one of the four unorthodox groups. Both of us belong to the orthodox Dao. Are you trying to snatch it by force?"
"Fufufufu!"
Cheng Peng laughed with mockery in his eyes. "Four unorthodox groups? In another month, your Hundred Refinement Sect will be removed from the four unorthodox groups! Do you think that I'll have any reservations? "
Before he finished his sentence, Cheng Peng's gaze intensified and he extended his hand. Stars filled the skies in his palm and enveloped Nangong Ling's group of four with a terrifying might!
Psst!
The expressions of Nangong Ling and the other two changed starkly!
They had not expected Cheng Peng to be so domineering and dare to snatch in Wind Cloud City without any reservations!
Furthermore, the three of them felt the Dharmic powers in their bodies being restrained by the stars and could not circulate at all!
