A Challenge
Before Ning Qi even saw Jian Xilai, he saw Northmoon Lengqiu first. She was currently standing at the entrance of a hall, gazing upwards with a hint of anticipation on her face.
"Lady Lengqiu, who are you waiting for?"
Ning Qi smiled.
"You are?"
Northmoon Lengqiu looked at Ning Qi coldly. In the next moment, a hint of surprise appeared on her face as she looked at Ning Qi in disbelief, "Young master Beixuan?"
"You've grown a bit over the past few years. Don't you recognise me?"
Ning Qi smiled and said.
"How can that be … it's just … I …"
Northmoon Lengqiu's face flushed bright red in an instant. At the same time, she felt rather vexed. Why did she not recognise Ning Qi right away?
"Alright, stop teasing her. Lengqiu, go get some tea."
Jian Xilai's voice rang out from within the hall.
Only then did Northmoon Lengqiu let out a sigh of relief. She glanced at Ning Qi shyly before leaving in a hurry.
"She likes you."
The corner of the third prince's lips could not help but curl up slightly. He only withdrew his gaze from Northmoon Lengqiu after a long while.
"You want me to chant an incantation?"
Ning Qi smiled.
The third prince's expression immediately became stern. "The holy lady is calling for you."
"Wait here."
Ning Qi nodded and strode into the hall.
The third prince snorted coldly inside. He crossed his arms and stood at the entrance of the hall. The two guards at the entrance could not help but look at him.
"What are you looking at?"
A sliver of the aura of a Great Perfection Human Demon radiated from the third prince. The two guards snorted inwardly and turned their heads away.
If it were not for the fact that Ning Qi had brought him here, they would not be afraid of a mere Great Perfection Human Demon at all. Causing trouble in the holy lady's hall would not end well!
… …
"How did you end up like this?"
Jian Xilai stood before Ning Qi and raised his head to look at him. His expression was rather strange. She could tell that Ning Qi's current cultivation was extremely dense. An explosive power was hidden beneath his body.
Perhaps this power was the reason why Ning Qi's body had grown to three meters tall.
"I've absorbed too much demon qi. I should be able to recover after a while."
Ning Qi grinned.
Jian Xi Lai suddenly threw a palm towards Ning Qi. Ning Qi's eyes slightly moved, and he instantly opened all six gates. A fist that was many times bigger than a pot appeared in front of him, and when Jian Xi Lai's palm landed on it, it exploded out with an incomparably powerful force, causing Ning Qi to involuntarily take a few steps back.
"Even a consummate Human Demon might not be able to unleash this attack of mine. The fact that you're able to receive this attack means that there's probably no one below the Earth Demon realm who can threaten you."
Jian Xi Lai nodded her head in satisfaction, a look of gratification appeared in her eyes, but in reality, she was also a little shocked in her heart. The reason she was able to suppress Ning Qi was because she had been in the Immortal Prison for many years, and with Lucifer's help, she had become an existence of the Earth Devil Stage. But according to what she knew, Ning Qi had not been in the Immortal Prison for long, and had not even broken through to the Human Devil Stage yet.
"Aunt Jian, you flatter me."
Ning Qi smiled. At this moment, Northmoon Lengqiu walked in with tea. She put down the tea and glanced at Ning Qi, then hurried out of the hall with her head lowered.
Jian Xi Lai took a sip of tea and looked at Ning Qi with a smile that was not a smile. "Lengqiu's mind has always been on you. You haven't come here to visit Aunt Jian all these years, but she often talks about you in front of me."
"Aunt Jian, I've been in secluded cultivation all these years."
Ning Qi smiled and looked at Northmoon Lengqiu's back, then shook his head indifferently. "Aunt Jian, I've come today to ask you if you're returning to the Central Continent."
"Returning to the Central Continent? You found your way back? "
Jian Xi Lai was slightly surprised, then her face became wild with joy.
"Yes."
Ning Qi smiled. He did not need to hide anything from Jian Xi Lai, so he told her how he could return. Jian Xi Lai sighed. "There's actually a sect building like this. You've always been in contact with the sect, so you can return at any time?"
"I need to pay a small price."
Ning Qi smiled. It would take some time to gather three million Dragon Slaying Crystals.
"Since I can return at any time, I won't be going back for now. When you find a passage to the Immortal Continent in the future, remember to tell me."
Jian Xi Lai smiled faintly.
Ning Qi nodded. He could tell that Jian Xi Lai actually wanted to return to the Central Continent, but her cultivation seemed to have reached a bottleneck. With her identity as the Saintess, it would not take long for her to break through this bottleneck. Staying in the Lucifer Tribe was a better choice. The environment of the Central Continent was not suitable for those above the Human Demon stage to cultivate.
Perhaps she cultivated so desperately because she wanted to go to the Immortal Continent with Ning Qi one day and find Feng Jiuxian. However, she did not know that Feng Jiuxian had already been reduced to ashes …
As an elder, Jian Xi Lai told Ning Qi some things and suggested that he go to the Lucifer Tribe. There was a demonic item in the Elder Pavilion that could condense demonic qi into demonic orbs. If Ning Qi returned to the Central Continent, he would not be able to absorb demonic qi to refine his body. It would be more appropriate to bring some demonic orbs with him when he left.
After leaving the hall, Ning Qi glanced at the Third Prince Ming, who immediately followed him. After leaving the Saintess Temple, Ning Qi stopped and looked at the Saintess Temple with an apologetic look in his eyes.
"Yo, isn't this our number one genius?"
Not far away, there was a sneer.
When the demons nearby heard this, they all looked at Ning Qi with a hint of surprise in their eyes. However, Chiyou Hanzhong would never recognize the wrong person. Since he said so, this person must be the number one genius.
Chiyou Hanzhong looked at Ning Qi with a faint smile. A fierce look flashed in the depths of his eyes. He was followed by a large group of demon geniuses from the Chiyou Tribe. Chiyou Blood Prince, whom Ning Qi had met once before, was also among them.
"Someone seeking revenge is here?"
The Third Prince Ming's eyes lit up.
Ning Qi turned around and his eyes fell on Chiyou Hanzhong. He smiled. "Chiyou Hanzhong, I haven't seen you for more than 20 years. Why are you still as silly as before?"
Silly and silly …
Chiyou and the other Heaven's Chosen glanced at each other, then looked at Ning Qi with a slightly strange expression. This fellow was really audacious. He actually dared to use this word to describe Chiyou Hanzhong. Was he not afraid that Chiyou Hanzhong would explode and kill him on the street? Even if he had the backing of the Saintess Temple, he would not be able to save him, right?
"As expected of the number one genius."
The demons nearby looked at Ning Qi with admiration.
"You! On the day of the Demon Genius Tournament, I could not kill you because of the rules. Today, do you dare to fight me fair and square? Life or death! "
Chiyou Hanzhong said angrily.
