"S-Senior … You must be joking, right?"
After the atmosphere was awkward for a while, an Earth Immortal from the Nine Sect Alliances finally mustered up his courage and asked.
"Look at how serious I look. Do I look like I'm joking?"
Ning Qi smiled.
"N-No …"
"Then why aren't you getting lost? Are you waiting for me to treat you guys to a meal?"
Ning Qi smiled.
"We'll get lost now, we'll get lost now …"
Seeing that Ning Qi did not have the intention to kill them, they did not dare to stay any longer. They did not even dare to keep the advanced-stage Earth Immortal's body as they turned around and fled. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from Ning Qi and the giant monkey's sight.
After they left, the giant monkey let out a sigh of relief. With a bang, it sat down on the ground. Its injuries were very serious. Although they weren't fatal, for a short period of time, it would be very difficult for it to even stand, let alone fight.
"You're cultivating the rod technique?"
Ning Qi glanced at the giant monkey's rod. It was a very ordinary rod that was not even a low-grade immortal weapon. It was a spiritual weapon that could only be used by those below the Human Immortal level on the Ancestral Star.
"Mm."
The giant monkey nodded. Looking at its weak appearance, it would probably faint if it said a few more words.
"You have a bright future."
Ning Qi smiled and nodded. Then, he turned around and headed toward the direction of the Nine Sect Alliances' Gladiator Arena. Upon seeing that, the giant monkey was taken aback. Somehow, it managed to muster up enough energy to stand up with all its might and follow behind Ning Qi. Every step it took, the wound on its chest would move.
"Why are you following me? Two more steps and you'll be done bleeding. "
Ning Qi stopped and turned around to smile at the giant monkey.
"Senior, you're going to the Nine Sect Alliances."
A hint of stubbornness flashed in the giant monkey's eyes.
"So?"
Ning Qi smiled.
"…"
The giant monkey was speechless.
Seeing this, Ning Qi turned around and walked away. The giant monkey used the stick to support its body and followed Ning Qi step by step. They followed for nine days and nine nights. Not only did its injuries not get better, but they also gradually worsened because it used all its strength to walk. Along the way, the giant monkey would sometimes fall, but it would grit its teeth and get up. Occasionally, it would meet a few celestials passing by. Seeing that the monkey was injured, they wanted to take the opportunity to attack. A dead celestial beast was also very valuable, especially in a place like this where resources were scarce.
In the end, they didn't dare to attack because they couldn't see through Ning Qi.
One day, Ning Qi sat down on the spot.
The giant monkey was taken aback for a moment before it sat down as well. It greedily absorbed the Spiritual Qi in the surroundings. It wanted to use this time to recover from its injuries.
Time passed day by day, and when the giant monkey's injuries were about thirty to forty percent healed, Ning Qi continued on his way. This time, however, he didn't walk.
Seeing Ning Qi breaking through the air, the giant monkey immediately followed. Its injuries had already healed a lot, and it could support itself in breaking through the air.
…
Nine Sect Alliances' gladiator arena.
With Zhuge Lingye, the Sect Leader of the Six Combination Sect, as the remaining eight sect leaders sat together, listening to the narration of the Earth Immortals who had escaped from Ning Qi's hands.
"That Heaven Immortal said that he was imprisoned in our Nine Sect Alliances' gladiator arena?"
After a while, Zhuge Lingye said with a solemn expression.
"Old Ancestor, it's absolutely true. Everyone heard it."
The late-stage Earth Immortal who died in Ning Qi's hands was an Immortal from the Six Combination Sect. The mid-stage Earth Immortal who was speaking now said with lingering fear. He was also an Immortal from the Six Combination Sect, but he was lucky that he didn't stand out. That was why he managed to survive with the others.
"Are you kidding me? When has our Nine Sect Alliances ever captured a Heaven Immortal?"
The remaining eight sect leaders looked a little confused.
No matter how old they were and how muddle-headed they were, it was impossible that they couldn't even remember such a big thing, right? Until now, the strongest gladiator imprisoned in the Nine Sect Alliances' gladiator arena was only a Perfected Earth Immortal!
"Could it be an excuse that the other party came up with to rescue that Long Armed Ape?"
One of the sect leaders said with a frown.
Another sect leader shook his head. "That's not very possible. Based on the other party's strength, he could easily destroy a low-grade Immortal Weapon and kill a late-stage Earth Immortal. He's at least an early-stage Heaven Immortal. If he really wanted to rescue the Long Armed Ape, why would he need such a lousy excuse?" After discussing for a long time, they still could not remember when they had offended a Heavenly Immortal. Finally, Zhuge Lingye said indifferently, "No matter who the other party is, since he killed the Immortals of our Nine Sect Alliances, he will have to pay the price. There's news that he is currently carrying a Heavenly Immortal.
There's news that he's bringing a heavily injured Long Armed Ape to our Nine Sect Alliances' gladiator arena. Everyone, why don't we set up a formation to welcome this guest and show our Nine Sect Alliances' hospitality? "
"But … We don't know what level his cultivation base is or where he came from …"
"That's right. If he's a Perfected Heaven Immortal, what kind of price do you think we'll have to pay to kill him, Sect Leader Zhuge?"
"That's right …"
At the end of the day, other than Zhuge Lingye, the other eight sect leaders did not quite agree with his suggestion.
"You guys think that it's none of your business that it's not your sect's disciple who died?"
Zhuge Lingye's lips curled into a faint sneer. "Don't forget that he's the one who's coming to our Nine Sect Alliances. Do you guys think that he's here to have a chat after killing our Six Sect's disciple?"
"This …"
"Let's get ready to welcome this guest."
Zhuge Lingye scoffed and stood up to leave. Upon seeing that, the other eight people exchanged glances. After a short discussion, they finally decided to do as Zhuge Lingye said. After all, they were not so naive to think that Ning Qi was just passing by.
"Senior, the Nine Sect Alliances' gladiator arena is right ahead."
The giant monkey pointed at a huge city far away with a stick and said.
"Do you think they'll welcome us?"
Ning Qi smiled at the giant monkey.
"I don't know …"
The giant monkey shook its head with a strange expression. With its strength that was equivalent to a Middle Earth Immortal, it had long discovered that there were many spies hidden along the way. However, Ning Qi's speed was extremely slow. The giant monkey felt that there must be countless Immortals lying in ambush in the Nine Sect Alliances' gladiator arena, planning to give them a thunderous blow. Outside the city gate, people were coming and going as usual. However, some of the more sensitive Immortals could sense that the atmosphere was a little strange today. It was because those Nine Sect Alliances' sky-prides, who were rarely seen, seemed to have made an appointment today as they all came out for a walk.
Seeing one of them made them feel as if a storm was about to come.
