"What a coincidence …" Ning Qi looked at the surroundings. It was a familiar mountain range, a familiar landscape. Wasn't this the place that Li Shang had brought to the Land of Absolute Beginning? Wasn't this place abandoned because he refused to submit to the Corpse Race? Who would have thought that right after leaving the headquarters, Hu Ying would appear here?
He didn't know if it was a coincidence or if there were other reasons. This time, Hu Ying had used a rather mysterious method to travel from the headquarters to the Land of Absolute Beginning. It was similar to some kind of teleportation formation, but there was no teleportation point below Ning Qi's feet. Ning Qi asked Hu Ying, but she said that only the higher-ups and affairs of the headquarters could do so.
Only the Hall Cultivators knew the method. Even Bloodtear Commander and the others didn't know how to leave the headquarters. If they wanted to leave the headquarters, they had to first head to the other territories of the Dark Parliament.
"According to the information, Heavenly Grandmother Gate should be … in this direction."
Ning Qi looked around. After determining the direction of Heavenly Grandmother Gate, he immediately moved.
Luckily, he had stayed here for many years, so he wasn't completely blind. He didn't have much of a problem in finding the way. A few months later, Ning Qi finally arrived at the foot of a mountain after continuously asking for directions and using the teleportation formation. The land he was stepping on was the territory of Heavenly Grandmother Sect. On the mountain, layers of buildings could be seen indistinctly in the forest. Occasionally, there would be large birds.
Occasionally, large birds would fly over and caw loudly, their crisp voices echoing between the mountains. Just as Ning Qi was standing at the foot of the mountain, a few figures came down. There were men and women. When they saw Ning Qi, their gazes moved. One of them, who looked more mature, took a few steps forward and asked Ning Qi, "Sir, have you come to our Heavenly Grandmother Gate?
What's the matter? "
Ning Qi looked at them. Their cultivation was around the Karma Realm. He smiled and said, "Junior brothers and sisters, I've heard of Heavenly Grandmother Gate for many years. This time, I've come to cultivate in Heavenly Grandmother Gate. I wonder if you can lead the way?"
"You're here to become my disciple?" The few of them looked at each other. The mature-looking young man frowned slightly. "You'd better behave yourself. We don't know each other. I'm not your Junior Brother, and you're not my Senior Brother. If you want to be my disciple, please go back. Is it difficult?
Haven't you heard that our sect's consecrated elder passed away recently? These days, our Heavenly Grandmother Gate doesn't receive any guests! "
"There's such a thing?"
Ning Qi was surprised. The consecrated elder that the other party mentioned should be the high-ranking member of the Covenant of Darkness headquarters. If the Heavenly Grandmother Sect really refused to see any guests, things would be difficult to handle. Before coming here, Ning Qi had already figured out the ins and outs of the Heavenly Mother Sect. It wasn't very strong in the absolute beginning land. The sect master, Daoist Priestess Heavenly Mother, was only at the Undead Realm. Adding on some elders and consecrators, its power was at most on the same level as the Ancient Star Pavilion.
Even so, Ning Qi was not confident enough to break in without permission. Otherwise, Ning Qi was not sure if the Four Immortal Execution Swords would still have the same power as before.
Even if there was, Sempiternal realm cultivators were not existences that Ning Qi could deal with at his current state. Most likely, the other party would be able to crush him with a single finger.
"He doesn't even know about such an important matter. I wonder where this country bumpkin came from. Senior Brother Duan, let's ignore him. Master has ordered us to go to Bluestone Town to retrieve the item left behind by the Consecrated Elder. This matter cannot be delayed."
A female cultivator stepped forward and glanced at Ning Qi coldly with a hint of disdain in her eyes. Then, she spoke to the mature-looking young man. In their opinion, even if Ning Qi's cultivation level was higher than theirs, so what? He was still incomparable to a cultivator from the Heavenly Mother Sect. At the same time, Ning Qi's desire to join the Heavenly Mother Sect had already made them feel disgusted.
Ordinary cultivators were fine, but he was already a fourth-step cultivator, yet he still wanted to join the Heavenly Mother Sect and compete with them for cultivation resources? No way!
"Sir, I advise you to leave quickly."
The mature-looking young man smiled at Ning Qi. Then, he called out to his Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters and left quickly.
As soon as they left, Ning Qi followed them.
The item left behind by the Consecrated Elder?
This was most likely the item that the Secretary General had asked him to retrieve. The Heavenly Mother Sect had obviously not realized the importance of this item, so they had sent a few Karma Realm cultivators.
However …
The Secretary General had said that the item should have been with the Consecrated Elder. Why had it been left outside? Plus, the Heavenly Mother Sect knew about this and had specially sent people to retrieve it? "It's possible that the Consecrated Elder passed on this matter before she passed away … Why did she ask someone to bring this item back to the Heavenly Mother Sect after she passed away? She could have sent a message to the Secretary General and asked the dark cultivators to go to the place where she hid the item.
Wouldn't that be enough … "
With many doubts, Ning Qi quietly followed behind the Karma Realm cultivators. If a Heaven's Mandate Realm cultivator wanted to follow a Karma Realm cultivator, the other party would not be able to discover him as long as he did not want to be discovered. A few days later, the few of them arrived at a bustling town. This town was a place that one had to pass on the official road, and one could go to several bustling cities from here. Therefore, the town had a large population, and there were many cultivators among them.
Their cultivations were average. Dao Querying Realm cultivators were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. No one in the Karma Realm could compare to them. Those people seemed to know where they were going. Once they entered the town, they walked straight in a certain direction. Behind them, Ning Qi followed at a moderate distance. His body exuded a special aura that could make anyone with a cultivation lower than Ning Qi's.
The other cultivators subconsciously ignored Ning Qi. They only knew that there was someone here, but they didn't want to take a closer look!
"The Consecrated Elder's cultivation is at least at the Undying Realm. She might even be an Indestructible Realm cultivator. Why would she put the item in a place like this?"
Ning Qi's eyes turned solemn.
There must be something wrong when something was out of the ordinary.
That was a principle that had never changed.
He did not continue to follow them. Instead, he used his aura to track them from afar. Soon, he 'saw' them enter a pharmacy. Before long, they walked out of the pharmacy, as if they were going to leave Bluestone Town.
However, they had only taken a few steps when they suddenly … disappeared. They did not vanish in an instant. Instead, it was as if someone had used an eraser to erase them from the air. This scene immediately reminded Ning Qi of the time when Grand Elder Duan had sent Mo Xie and the others to other small worlds. Grand Elder Duan had used it.
Grand Elder Duan had used the same method!
