Chapter 153

Following the loud shout, Gao Fei's sword that was stabbing towards Ku Shou could no longer move forward. Following that, a shadow flew out from the forest. However, it was flying, and not flying on a sword.

"City Lord Ning!?" The Gao brothers were shocked when they saw who it was. This person was the City Lord of Ningshui City, Ning Wu Ji.

"I don't know who you are, but today, they cannot die in your hands." Ning Wu Ji stood in front of the crowd and spoke to the Gao brothers.

"City Lord Ning, why is that?" Gao Fei did not understand. One must know that anyone who stayed in Ningshui City for a period of time would know that Ning Wu Ji's relationship with the Kunlun Sect was not good. Although they were not enemies, they did not have any interactions. But today, he actually saved the Kunlun Sect's people. It was really surprising.

"There is no why. But today, you cannot kill them. "Ning Wu Ji did not give any explanation.

"This … Alright. Since City Lord Ning has said so, then we will take our leave." Gao Fei knew that it was impossible to kill these Kunlun Sect's cultivators and seize their resources.

Although he did not know why Ning Wu Ji would come forward to help the Kunlun Sect's cultivators, he could understand some of the contents. These Kunlun Sect's cultivators could be killed, but not today. However, Gao Fei also knew that it was impossible for him to catch such a rare opportunity again.

Although it was a pity, they had no choice but to retreat. The identity of the other party was not just a decoration, but also a proof of their strength.

All the City Lords in the Cultivation World were at least in the Golden Core Late Stage. Therefore, although Ning Wu Ji's strength was not considered high among the City Lords, to others, a Golden Core Late Stage expert meant a lot.

Not to mention that the Gao Brothers were only in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage and Foundation Establishment Initial Stage, even if all the Foundation Establishment Realm experts were in their peak condition, they would still not be able to receive a move from a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator.

In their opinion, Cheng Yu's strength was indeed very strong. But that was only in comparison to them, Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. Even if he was in front of a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator, he would not have any strength to resist.

The Gao Brothers looked at each other before flying off with their flying swords. When he saw the duo had left, Ku Shou heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Ning Wuji and said gratefully, "Many thanks to City Lord Ning for helping us out. After a period of time, we will definitely pay a visit to thank you."

"No need. I will set up a restriction around you. Take a rest and quickly return to Kunlun." After Ning Wuji spoke, he formed a seal and chanted a spell. All the Kunlun cultivators seemed to be covered by a transparent glass cover. A few purple rays flickered on the cover before disappearing.

Ning Wuji did not stay any longer as he flew off.

When Ku Shou saw Ning Wuji had left and everyone had the protection of the restriction, he felt a lot more at ease. He closed his eyes and started to recover.

"Big Brother, it's really a pity this time. I didn't expect that both of our partners would slip away just like that." After the Gao Brothers flew for a distance, they stopped and walked on the ground. Gao Yuan spoke in a dispirited tone.

"That's right. But there's no other way. Who would have expected that City Lord Ning would suddenly appear? Who would have thought that he, who never had a good impression of Kunlun, would actually come to help them?" Gao Fei was also very regretful. Ning Wuji might have said that they could kill these Kunlun cultivators in the future, but the two of them would never have such an opportunity again.

Normally, the two of them would not even be able to defeat a late stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, let alone four of them. If they were to kill all these Kunlun cultivators today, not only would they be able to pick up a huge bargain, but the Kunlun people would also think that they were killed by that person.

"Aiya!" When Gao Fei thought of this, he slapped his head as if he suddenly understood something.

"Big Brother, what's wrong?" Gao Yuan asked in confusion.

"Say, if we were to kill all these Kunlun cultivators today, who would those Kunlun people think did it?" Gao Fei asked.

"Of course it's that person. They had sent so many people to chase after that person, but they never returned. How could others think that we were the ones who killed them?" Gao Yuan wasn't stupid and spoke as if it was a matter of fact.

"That's right. They are all dead. Others would only think that it was that person who did it. But now, City Lord Ning doesn't want us to kill these Kunlun cultivators. Isn't it because he doesn't want that person to be the scapegoat? "Gao Fei spoke out his thoughts.

"Big Brother, you are saying that City Lord Ning is together with that person? If that's the case, wouldn't he want to kill them all the more? Why would he leave these disasters behind? "Gao Yuan asked in confusion.

"Eh … This, they might not necessarily be together. Perhaps they just know each other and don't want us to kill them with a borrowed knife," Gao Fei didn't understand either, but he still spoke out.

"If you put it that way, it is possible. But we just saw Young Lady Ning Wushuang there. Young Lady Ning Wushuang also seemed to want to kill that person? Isn't this illogical? "Gao Yuan recalled Ning Wushuang's graceful figure and his face turned absent-minded. It seemed like in the vicinity of Ningshui City, Ning Wushuang's admirers could be seen everywhere.

"Sigh. Forget it. Anyway, this matter is already over. We have also lost this opportunity forever. In the future, we have to be more careful when we see these people. Today, we have already revealed ourselves. Sooner or later, they will find us to settle the debt," Gao Fei said gloomily.

Originally, they were there to catch a fish. In the end, not only did they not manage to catch the fish, they were even targeted by the fish. Was there anything more depressing than this?

Actually, the Gao brothers had indeed guessed some of Ning Wuji's thoughts. However, they were not able to guess it completely.

Ning Wuji did not know Cheng Yu. The reason why he did not want Cheng Yu to be borrowed by others was because he cherished talent. In this region, his daughter could be said to be a well-known figure among the younger generation. Although she was still not comparable to some of the young geniuses in Kunlun, she was still able to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm at the age of 20. This kind of aptitude was definitely not bad.

However, when he saw Cheng Yu, he was truly astonished. He was unable to determine Cheng Yu's actual age, but he was able to tell that Cheng Yu was not old. At such a young age, he had already reached the Foundation Establishment Realm late stage. Furthermore, he was not an ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm late stage. From his performance just now, his strength could basically sweep away all the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators in the Cultivation World.

However, although Cheng Yu was powerful, the current him still did not have the ability to fight against a Golden Core Realm expert. Therefore, Ning Wuji did not wish to be borrowed by the Gao Brothers. At the same time, there was another important reason. He did not wish to draw out the Kunlun Golden Core Realm experts to deal with Cheng Yu.

Ning Wuji did it for no other reason. He just did not wish to see a genius fall. He wished to see how far this young man could walk. Cultivators placed great importance on opportunities. Ning Wuji had already been in the Golden Core Realm for hundreds of years. However, he still did not have any signs of forming his Nascent Soul.

He did not know if he would have such a day. Perhaps, he needed an opportunity. However, no one knew where this opportunity was. For Cheng Yu to have such strength at such a young age, he could definitely be considered as a person blessed with great luck.

To form a good relationship with such a person, it might be the opportunity that he needed.

At this moment, the heavily injured Cheng Yu was lying on his flying sword, swaying as he flew above the forest.

"Pu! Pu!" Cheng Yu who was feeling unwell vomited another two mouthfuls of blood. After that, he fell down from the tree.

However, Cheng Yu did not fall onto the ground. Instead, he was caught by the branches of the tree. Cheng Yu fainted immediately. The blood in his mouth was still dripping down.

"Father, it's so hard for your daughter to come back. Where did you go?" Ning Wuji had just returned home when he saw his daughter acting coquettishly beside him.

"Haha! How old are you already? Why are you still acting like a little girl? How many days are you staying this time?" When Ning Wuji saw his daughter, he was very happy. His daughter was his only concern. When he saw his daughter was able to be happy, there was nothing better than this.

"Heh heh! This time, master allowed me to stay at home for a month. When I return, master asked me to go into seclusion. He said that before I reach Foundation Establishment late stage, I will not be able to come out," Ning Wushuang said happily and gloomily.

"Oh? Could it be that in these two years, your strength has grown so fast? You are already about to enter Foundation Establishment late stage? "When he heard his daughter's words, Ning Wuji said happily.

"I don't know either. That's what master told me," Ning Wushuang shook her head.

"Good. I believe that Valley Master Hua wouldn't speak without thinking. Wushuang, you must cultivate properly. I believe that with your aptitude, you will definitely be able to form your Golden Core within a hundred years," Ning Wuji laughed. He had placed too much hope on Ning Wushuang.

"I also hope that the day will come sooner. Father, I met a weird person today. He is just a Foundation Establishment late stage cultivator, but he was able to fight against a few experts in the same realm as him, as well as dozens of Foundation Establishment middle stage and initial stage experts, "When she heard her father mentioning cultivation, Ning Wushuang suddenly recalled that mystical pervert.

"Oh? There's such a thing? You know him? " Ning Wuji naturally knew that his daughter was talking about Cheng Yu. Previously, when he followed a group of Kunlun people to find Cheng Yu, the first person he saw was his daughter.

When he saw his daughter's angry expression, he also wanted to know what had happened between them. However, he still endured it and watched the whole battle quietly.

Now that his daughter had returned, it wasn't good for him to say it first. Wouldn't that be exposing that he was also at the scene? Therefore, he pretended that he didn't know anything and asked about what had happened between them.

"I … how could I know that pervert?" When she heard her father's words, Ning Wushuang quickly denied it.

"Pervert? What did he do to you? I will go and kill him! "When Ning Wuji heard his daughter had called Cheng Yu a pervert, he immediately said angrily.

This anger was both real and fake. Naturally, he could tell that his daughter was still a virgin. Furthermore, when he first saw Cheng Yu, he didn't feel that he was such an evil person. But the truth was, his daughter was Ning Wuji's treasure. If Cheng Yu really dared to do such a thing to Ning Wushuang, even if Ning Wuji admired Cheng Yu and thought highly of him, he would still kill him.

However, Ning Wushuang didn't know of her father's fake and real expression. She was truly frightened. Her father was in the late stage of Golden Core Realm. No matter how powerful Cheng Yu was, it was impossible for him to block an attack from a Golden Core Realm late stage expert.
