A Late Night Visit
Jiangnan City.
The Alchemist Union. From the outside, the buildings here looked even grander than Alchemy Venerate Langya's residence. When Alchemy Venerate Blackwater brought Ning Qi over, there were four people standing at the entrance. These four people faintly emitted a half-step Manifestation aura. They looked at Alchemy Venerate Blackwater respectfully, but their gazes towards Ning Qi were not as friendly.
Ning Qi had already guessed this. The Blacknight Immortal Dynasty was Alchemy Venerate Blackwater's territory. It would be strange if his people were friendly to him.
"Alchemy Venerate Blackwater, could this be the new commander of our Jiangnan City?"
Among the four, the young cultivator with the strongest cultivation bowed respectfully. At the same time, he glanced at Ning Qi coldly with a trace of disdain.
Ning Qi glanced at his attributes. Liu Jiangnan, half-step Manifestation.
"En, his name is Ning Beixuan. He was previously the commander of the Deer Gate Immortal Dynasty's Da 'an City. This time, Alchemy Sage Bi Hai has ordered for him to be the commander of Jiangnan City. All of you must listen to his arrangements in the future. Understand?"
Alchemy Venerate Blackwater smiled.
"Alchemy Venerate Blackwater, I'm not convinced. Jiangnan City is one of the important cities of the Blacknight Immortal Dynasty. If a Manifestation Realm cultivator is appointed as the commander here, wouldn't it be a joke? There's no need to care about a remote place like the Deer Gate Immortal Dynasty's Da 'an City, but Jiangnan City is different. This place is one of the faces of our Alchemist Union. "
Liu Jiangnan cupped his fists.
"Brother Liu's words are reasonable."
The other three also cupped their fists in agreement.
Alchemy Venerate Blackwater glanced at Ning Qi with a smile that was not a smile. Seeing that Ning Qi did not seem to mind at all and still had a calm expression, Alchemy Venerate Blackwater's expression changed. He shouted coldly at Liu Jiangnan and the others, "This is Alchemy Sage Bi Hai's order. Are you guys going to defy him?"
"We don't dare!"
Liu Jiangnan and the others cupped their fists, but there was no trace of fear on their faces. Clearly, they were confident that Alchemy Venerate Blackwater wouldn't blame them for this matter.
"Ning Beixuan, I will only send you here. Next, you can take over with Liu Jiangnan and the others."
Pill Venerate Blackwater said indifferently as he looked at Ning Qi. Then, he turned around and left.
Ning Qi watched Alchemy Venerate Black Water's back calmly. After Alchemy Venerate Black Water disappeared from his sight, Ning Qi headed straight for the Alchemist Alliance, ignoring Liu Jiangnan and the other three.
"Hmm? This kid is a little arrogant. "
Liu Jiangnan frowned slightly.
"Brother Liu, I heard that Pill Sovereign Blackwater's personal disciple, Wang Ting, died at this kid's hands. Pill Saint Emerald Sea sent him here to be the commander. I don't think it's that simple, is it?"
"Looks like I'll have to find a chance to test him."
"If you can handle this matter for Pill Venerable Blackwater, I believe that the position of Jiangnan City's governor will belong to Brother Liu, right?"
Hearing this, the corner of Liu Jiangnan's lips curled up slightly, "You can't say that. The three of you also have a chance."
"We wouldn't dare, we wouldn't dare. Brother Liu's ancestors are the true inheritors of the Nine Great Alchemy Veins. How could the three of us be mentioned in the same breath as you?"
The three of them smiled fawningly.
It was obvious that Liu Jiangnan had something that they were extremely afraid of. Otherwise, they would not have made such a gesture.
…
Jiangnan City's Alchemist Alliance had a lot more people than Da 'an City. Liu Jiangnan and the other three had fifty to sixty alchemy attendants. However, they all looked at Ning Qi indifferently. Even though they knew that Ning Qi was the new governor, they did not greet him. It was as if they had a tacit agreement to isolate Ning Qi.
There was not even a guy to lead the way for Ning Qi. However, with a thought, Ning Qi found the independent courtyard of the Alchemist Alliance and moved in.
At night.
"Ning Beixuan did not come out after he went in?"
"Yes, indeed. I've been keeping an eye on him."
"If that's the case, why don't the four of us go and test him?"
"If we're discovered, won't that mean …"
"He's just a Transcendence Realm cultivator. Even if we beat him up, will he know that we did it? So what if he guessed it? What proof can we have? "
"Alright! Since Brother Liu said so, the three of us will go with you! "
Four figures stealthily snuck into Ning Qi's courtyard like ghosts. However, as soon as their feet touched the ground, they felt a surge of energy surging towards them. Their expressions changed drastically as they knew that something was wrong. They wanted to turn around and escape, but they found that they could not lift their feet at all. Even the Creation Energy in their bodies was being suppressed by this energy.
"The four of you were so cold in the day, but you're so warm at night. You've all come to greet me?"
Ning Qi appeared in front of the four of them with a faint smile.
The four of them had ugly expressions. A trace of anger flashed in their eyes. The other party was clearly a Transcendence Realm cultivator. How could he have the ability to imprison four Half-Step Creation Realm cultivators at the same time!
"Governor Ning, what happened tonight was a misunderstanding …"
Liu Jiangnan realized that he could still move his mouth and said with an ugly expression.
"Yes, yes, it was a misunderstanding. The four of us had important matters to attend to during the day. After discussing it tonight, we felt that it would be impolite if Governor Ning did not come to greet us since you've just arrived …"
The other three echoed.
"Do you think I'll believe your words?"
Ning Qi stepped forward and removed the masks on their faces one by one. He looked at the four of them with a faint smile. "As the official alchemists of the Alchemists Alliance, you came here in the middle of the night with your faces covered. If I report this, what do you think will happen to you?"
"Governor Ning, you don't have to do this. The four of us did not do anything to harm you. "
Liu Jiangnan forced a smile and said, "Why don't you let us go and pretend that nothing happened tonight? You can be your governor, and we'll fulfill our duties. "
"Do you know what your duties are?"
Ning Qi smiled faintly.
"Know … Dao."
Liu Jiangnan and the other three glanced at each other and then spoke in unison.
They had been caught red-handed tonight. If they did not compromise, this matter would become very troublesome. Moreover, they were very wary of Ning Qi's cultivation. He was not as weak as he looked on the surface. To be able to imprison four Half-Step Creation Realm cultivators at once, how could he be a Transcendence Realm cultivator?
"It's late. Please go back."
Ning Qi smiled faintly and waved his hand. The four immediately felt that they could move again. They laughed dryly and bowed to Ning Qi before turning and walking out the door.
The next day, Ning Qi realized that the alchemy apprentices would take the initiative to greet him when they saw him. Even when they occasionally saw Liu Jiangnan and the others, they were very respectful. They were not as cold as they had been on the first day, deliberately isolating him.
Xuanye Immortal Dynasty.
Immortal Capital.
"The news from Liu Jiangnan is enough to confirm that this lad's battle strength is not ordinary. It looks like I can only act according to plan."
Alchemy Venerable Black Water crushed the jade slip in his hand coldly. He had already tested Ning Qi once. This time, Liu Jiangnan and the others tested him again. Alchemy Venerable Black Water immediately made a decision.
That day, Ning Qi received his message.
