Ning Ji was the first senior he had a good impression of after Yu Yuan's heaven soul and earth soul had returned to him.
Ning Ji was his grandfather's good friend. After waking up, he had relied on Ning Ji for a lot of things, and felt very comfortable around this senior.
Furthermore, Ning Ji had helped him familiarize himself with his young body and temper his body in the Yu Clan's town.
However, Ning Ji wasn't a member of the Yu Clan. He should have left Dark Moon City long ago when he had awakened and gone to the forbidden land of the Fallen Moons for the trial.
Why was Ning Ji still here after such a long time?
And why was he in the Yu Clan's town instead of Dark Moon City?
Puzzled, Yu Yuan frowned slightly as he took a closer look at Ning Ji. Then, his expression flickered.
As a practitioner of the Extreme Wisdom Soul-tempering Incantation, he had refined his heaven soul. With a single glance, he discovered that wisps of frigid mist were lingering around Ning Ji's Huangting acupoint in his lower dantian.
The frigid mist seemed to be coming from Ning Ji's lower dantian, where it was gradually forming frost.
The frigid mist seemed to be preventing Ning Ji from channeling the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth from the outside world into his lower dantian.
Similarly, he couldn't channel the spiritual Qi in his lower dantian with incantations.
Now that he couldn't use the Huangting acupoint in his lower dantian, even though he was at the Golden Hall stage, didn't this mean that Ning Ji's future breakthroughs had been cut off?
Aside from the fact that he couldn't practice cultivation, the frigid mist was also causing wisps of frigid Qi to seep into his internal organs and hurt him day and night.
"After you went to the forbidden land of the Fallen Moons for the trial, I saw that the Yu Clan was on the right track, so I bid farewell to your grandfather." Ning Ji's expression was as calm as ever as he said with a smile, "I went to another city and heard some news about you. I was busy with my own business and looking for a breakthrough in my cultivation. I longed to enter the Profound Breaker stage.
"I'm getting old. I need to enter the Profound Breaker stage and open the profound gate in my middle dantian. Only then will I be able to break through the limit of my lifespan.
"I'm already at the late Golden Hall stage. I was only one step away from entering the Profound Breaker stage.
"But..."
Ning Ji suddenly smiled bitterly.
"While I was in seclusion trying to break through to the Breaking Profound Realm, I was suddenly invaded by a cold current. The cave I was in was located in the depths of the wilderness and was originally uninhabited. That cold current also came abruptly without any warning. "
"Not only did I fail in my attempt to make a breakthrough, but my Lower Dantian's Huangting acupoint was also invaded by a cold current."
"That cold current is cold and cruel. It corrodes me day and night."
Ning Ji's expression was gloomy as he said in a low voice, "I thought about it for a long time and roughly understood what had happened."
"Frigid Yin Sect!" Yu Yuan shouted.
"It should be." Ning Ji let out a long sigh and said with a lonely tone, "I've thought about it over and over again. In recent years, I've only had a conflict with Yin Jue in the Yu Clan's town. You could say that I ruined the Frigid Yin Sect's plan. After that, the Frigid Yin Sect must have held a grudge against us and targeted us. "
"Your grandfather, your Yu Clan is in Dark Moon City. The City Lord has specifically told us that no one is allowed to harm your Yu Clan in her city. Even the Lin Clan and the Frigid Yin Sect don't dare to act too presumptuously in Dark Moon City. As for me, I'm just a rogue cultivator who has been wandering the world for a long time.
"Therefore, the Frigid Yin Sect took advantage of my breakthrough and taught me a lesson that I'll never forget."
Ning Ji told Nie Tian the whole story.
Before returning, Yu Yuan had learned many things about the Red Devil School from the grand preceptor of the Scarlet Sun Empire.
Yuan Qiufang had been taken away by Fang Yao and entered the Red Devil School. Since then, the Yuan Clan, where Yuan Lianyao was from, had a deep relationship with the Red Devil School.
Since the Silver Moon Empire and the Red Devil School had been in close contact recently, even the Lin Clan and the Frigid Yin Sect had to abide by basic moral principles and wouldn't dare to act rashly in Dark Moon City.
It was inevitable that they would play some tricks in secret.
As an outsider, Ning Ji had helped the Yu Clan fight against the Lin Clan and the Frigid Yin Sect. It was very likely that the Frigid Yin Sect had secretly killed him while he was trying to make a breakthrough in his cultivation after leaving Dark Moon City.
Instead of killing Ning Ji, the person who had killed him had tried to stop him from making a breakthrough by continuously damaging his dantian with frigid currents, making him suffer day and night. It was likely that the person had done it with malicious intent, and wanted to use Ning Ji to let others know the consequences of making an enemy out of the Lin Clan and the Frigid Yin Sect.
"How long have you been in Yu Town?" Yu Yuan asked.
"Not long. I've always believed that you'll come back alive!" Ning Ji took a deep breath, but his shoulders were already trembling and his forehead was covered in cold sweat. He suddenly sat down and gave Yu Yuan an apologetic smile. "Here we go again..."
Wisps of frigid smoke that were invisible to the naked eye flowed out of his lower dantian.
Carrying a frigid aura, the frigid smoke infiltrated his internal organs, followed his meridians, and entered his neck and the acupuncture points in his upper dantian.
Sitting on the ground, Ning Ji couldn't stop trembling. The cold sweat on his body froze into translucent beads of ice.
He was clearly in great pain, but he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.
"Elder Ning, it's my clan's fault. It's Yu Yuan's fault."
With a grim expression, Yu Yuan suddenly extended his left hand and pressed it on Ning Ji's lower dantian. "Don't worry. Let me see if I can relieve your pain."
"YIYA! YIYAYA! "
Just as he pressed his hand on Ning Ji's dantian and didn't have time to activate the Nine Lights Heavenly Wheel, the dark-skinned girl behind him suddenly let out a voice that ordinary people couldn't hear.
Yu Yuan's expression flickered dramatically.
In the next instant, he sensed a piercingly cold and gloomy aura abruptly shoot out violently from Ning Ji's Huangting Aperture, and it seemed as if it possessed a life of its own as it moved towards his Dantian Aperture.
A few seconds later, the cold current condensed into a slender python with silver-white scales on its body. It looked exceptionally ferocious.
Yu Yuan sensed the python with his mind and knew that it contained a deadly poison!
The little girl became vigilant not because of the python's cold current, but because of the poison!
"Pfft!"
When the frigid cold current rushed madly towards his lower dantian, it immediately clashed fiercely with the dazzling and blazing belt of light formed by the Nine Lights Heavenly Wheel.
A terrifying stabbing pain instantly appeared in his lower dantian. Yu Yuan let out a muffled groan and felt blood spurt out of his lower abdomen.
The deadly poison hidden in the cold current entered his body when his skin and flesh split open.
At this moment, the little girl that Yu Yuan had brought back from Blue Peak Mountain Range's Evil Wind Valley unknowingly appeared beside Yu Yuan.
Her pupils turned from their original normal color to emerald green in an instant.
She sucked in a light breath.
The deadly poison hidden in the silver white venomous python suddenly condensed into a mottled silver smoke. It was as if it was pulled out by an invisible force and forcibly pulled out.
Whoosh!
That light smoke was inhaled into her nose and turned into a tiny venomous python the size of a strand of hair, quietly disappearing.
The silver white venomous python that was still wreaking havoc in Yu Yuan's lower dantian seemed to have suddenly lost its soul and backbone. After a series of chaotic collisions, it was melted by the blazing light of the "Nine Lights Heavenly Wheel".
The little girl's emerald green eyes flashed with a strange light for a while. She consumed the poisonous soul and returned to her original state.
She looked at Yu Yuan's mangled lower dantian and lower abdomen. She felt that it was only a flesh wound and didn't pay it any attention.
"Yiya, yiya …"
She raised her hand and waved it, a fierce light in her eyes.
Yu Yuan endured the pain and said, "It's not him."
She instantly understood that the old man hadn't purposely set up a trap to harm Yu Yuan, but something else.
WHOOSH!
A huge scarlet lotus that was burning fiercely floated over at high speed like a red cloud.
Many people in Yu Town exclaimed in shock when they saw it that evening.
"My lord!"
"I can't believe the lord has come in person!"
"Judging from the direction, it's coming from the Yu Clan's herb garden! The lord has been in secluded cultivation for a long time. Why did he suddenly come here? "
Like Ning Ji, Yu Yuan, who was sitting on the ground, looked at the incomparably conspicuous red lotus in the distance and was somewhat surprised. "She sure is fast. I just showed up in Yu Town and told those herb slaves to keep it a secret, but she actually came here so quickly."
"You brat!"
Yuan Lianyao's disgruntled voice rang out before the burning red lotus even arrived.
In a flash of prismatic light, the blazing red lotus came to a stop in front of Yu Yuan.
Undisguised joy could be seen at the corner of Yuan Lianyao's mouth and beautiful eyes. She opened her arms and tried to hug Yu Yuan.
"What's going on?" The incomparably beautiful city lord suddenly stopped. Her hands, which had already been opened, fell back down. Shock and anger were written all over her charming face. "You're injured? Even though Yu Town isn't in Dark Moon City, I specifically told Li Feng that if there were any suspicious people around Yu Town, he would have to conduct a thorough investigation. How could someone be so blind as to harm you in Yu Town? "
The blood in Yu Yuan's Huangting acupoint in his lower abdomen was very obvious, and his face was very pale.
Seeing Yu Yuan again after such a long time, Yuan Lianyao's heart ached for him for no reason. "It wouldn't have been a big deal if it were in the Fallen Moon Forbidden Land, but this is Dark Moon City, which is under my control! Who is it? "
The tension and concern between her eyebrows weren't fake in the slightest, which warmed Yu Yuan's heart.
Scenes from the past flashed across Yu Yuan's mind like lightning bolts. With a smile, she said, "They're just superficial wounds. The Frigid Yin Sect secretly played dirty tricks on Elder Ning. Then, they sealed their deadly toxins in a stream of frigid air and hid them in Elder Ning's dantian region. Whoever helps Elder Ning heal his wounds will be poisoned to death. "
"The Frigid Yin Sect?" Yuan Lianyao's face grew cold as she said, "Before, I had to be careful when facing the Frigid Yin Sect, but now I'm not afraid anymore. Even the Frigid Yin Sect won't be able to do anything in Dark Moon City! "
"My clan seems to be in a very bad situation right now," Yu Yuan said.
"Don't blame me for not helping you, my silly brother. The Lin Clan, the Fan Clan, and those other people did this to your clan in a different way, not by force." Yuan Lianyao sounded very helpless. "If they dare to make a move on your clan in Dark Moon City, I definitely won't forgive them.
"What they're using is the suppression of your clan's power, so that your clan's medicinal plants can't be sold.
"Well, I can't do anything about that. Even though I'm the city lord of Dark Moon City, I can't let those people buy your clan's medicinal plants by force.
"So it's not that I don't want to help, but that I can't do anything about it."
