"That's right. This is the Jade Tripod Sect?"
Ning Qi nodded indifferently.
"I'm the sect master of the Jade Tripod Sect, Xu Qing. May I know how I should address you, Senior?"
The elder hurriedly nodded.
"My surname is Wu. Let's get straight to the point. I heard that you discovered dark cultivators. Where are they now?"
Ning Qi said indifferently.
"One of my disciples accidentally got into a conflict with them. Who would've thought that they wouldn't let him off? They captured my disciple and killed their way into the sect. There were five of them, and one of them had a cultivation base similar to mine. After a battle, he fled in that direction."
After Xu Qing finished narrating, he pointed to the south.
"Five of them, and all of them are at the Sempiternal realm?"
Ning Qi frowned.
"Only one of them is at the Sempiternal realm. Four of them are at the Rebirth realm,"
Xu Qing said hurriedly.
"I got it."
Ning Qi's eyes flickered slightly as his Spiritual Perception locked onto a few figures. With his present cultivation level, it was very difficult for fifth-step cultivators to escape from his pursuit.
"Your name is Xu Qing, right?"
Ning Qi suddenly smiled at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing was slightly taken aback. "That's right."
"You don't seem to be telling me the truth. If it was only your Jade Tripod Sect that offended them, why are there a few Sempiternal realm cultivators pursuing them?"
Ning Qi said with a smile.
Xu Qing's expression changed a few times when he heard a loud bellow. "Tell me the truth honestly. If you hide anything, I'll punish you on the spot!"
Xu Qing jumped in fright. When he saw Ning Qi looking at him coldly, his throat bobbed as he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva. He revealed a sheepish smile. "Senior Wu, don't be agitated. I haven't explained everything clearly. In fact, I wasn't the one who first discovered those dark cultivators …"
Ten minutes later, Xu Qing finally told the truth. The darkness-type cultivators he mentioned were being pursued from the beginning. After the cultivators passed by the Jade Cauldron Sect, they sensed Xu Qing's existence and got Xu Qing to help intercept them. At the same time, they said that the few people were darkness-type cultivators. As long as Xu Qing managed to intercept them, it would be a meritorious deed.
Without suspecting anything, Xu Qing attacked. He never expected the leading cultivator to be extremely powerful. Not only did he injure him internally, he even destroyed many of the Jade Tripod Sect's buildings. Xu Qing wanted to continue his pursuit but he was unexpectedly stopped by the few dark-skinned cultivators. As such, Xu Qing naturally knew that he had been used as a tool.
"Senior Wu, they're chasing those dark cultivators, but they won't let me chase them. It's very likely that those dark cultivators have some kind of treasure on them!"
Xu Qing smiled awkwardly.
"Hmm, I roughly understand the situation now. In that case, you aren't too sure whether they are dark cultivators or not. Ordering someone to send a message to the Moon Elephant Sect is just to vent your anger, right?"
Ning Qi said with a smile.
Xu Qing hurriedly explained, "Senior Wu, the Holy Saint Assembly has a rule. If you see an existence that is suspected to be a darkness-type cultivator, you have to report it to the nearest Boundless cultivator …"
That's right. He did want to vent his anger, but he did not break the rules. Therefore, he was not very afraid that Ning Qi would punish him for it.
"If they are really darkness-type cultivators, I won't hold it against you. If not, I will settle the score with you for using the Boundless cultivators as a tool."
Ning Qi smiled. His figure immediately transformed into a bolt of lightning as he sped towards the south.
Xu Qing was taken aback as a hint of regret flashed in his eyes. After hesitating for a few seconds, he hurriedly flew in the direction Ning Qi had gone. He could only hope that those darn fellows were not messing with him regarding the darkness-type cultivators. Otherwise, if he were to be hated by a Boundless cultivator, even ten Jade Tripod Sect would not be enough to suppress him.
…
"Sir, don't run anymore. Hand over that pill and we'll let you and your disciples leave."
The four Sempiternal realm cultivators were standing in four different directions. Standing at the center of the group was a middle-aged man and four cultivators with slightly flustered looks on their faces.
The middle-aged man's cultivation level was also at the Sempiternal realm. There were a few wounds on his body that were so deep that his bones could be seen. As he was injured by someone of the same level, the wounds did not heal that easily.
"The pill is mine. As a reputable orthodox sect, how dare you take it by force?"
The middle-aged man said with a sullen expression.
"Treasures naturally belong to the virtuous. Our strength is stronger than yours, so that pill should belong to us. Hehe, the Nine Revolution Heaven Heart Pill is a good thing that only those divine sects can get their hands on. Where did you get it from? Needless to say, you must have snatched it from others! "
The one who spoke was a female cultivator. She was dressed in revealing clothes and had thick makeup on her face. It was obvious that she was not an easy character to get along with.
"Someone is coming."
A brawny man holding a long saber suddenly spoke.
In the next moment, Ning Qi appeared in the encirclement of the four cultivators.
"Sir, these five are darkness cultivators. They stole our things. If you are passing by this place, why don't you leave?"
The brawny man cupped his fists toward Ning Qi.
"Brother, they are slandering us. They are clearly trying to steal my pill. That's why they came up with such a childish excuse. If we were darkness cultivators, how would we dare to roam the primordial land?"
The middle-aged man's eyes flickered as he called out to Ning Qi.
"Darkness cultivators are as cunning as foxes. They like to deceive others with words. Sir, don't be deceived by this person. He is our prey. It's best for you to leave."
Seeing that Ning Qi had no intention of leaving, the faces of the four cultivators immediately turned cold.
At this moment, another figure arrived. When they saw Xu Qing, their faces changed.
"The four of you, why aren't you paying your respects to Senior Wu?"
Xu Qing looked at the four cultivators with a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes. Regardless of the outcome today, at the very least, the four cultivators would not be able to achieve their goal!
"Senior Wu?"
The four of them were slightly stunned.
"That's right. I heard that you were hunting darkness cultivators. I sent a message to the Moon Elephant Sect. Senior Wu is a cultivator of the Moon Elephant Sect. At the same time, he is also a Boundless Boundary cultivator!"
Xu Qing sneered.
As soon as he said that, not only did the expressions of the four cultivators change drastically, even the middle-aged man and the four Rebirth State cultivators behind him looked at Ning Qi with a hint of fear. However, they quickly concealed their strange expressions to prevent others from noticing.
"Senior, so you are a Boundless Boundary cultivator. If the four of us were impolite just now, please forgive us …"
The female cultivator with heavy makeup hurriedly said with an embarrassed smile.
"You said that they are darkness cultivators?"
Ning Qi said slowly.
"This … Yes!"
There was a hint of hesitation on the brawny man's face. However, after seeing the expressions of the other three cultivators, he gritted his teeth and nodded.
"You have the Shadow Breaker Mirror?"
Ning Qi smiled.
"No, we don't."
The expressions of the four cultivators turned even uglier.
"Since you don't have the Shadow Breaker Mirror, how can you determine that they are darkness cultivators?"
Ning Qi smiled.
The four of them looked at each other in dismay. Just as they were about to speak, Ning Qi looked at the middle-aged man and the four Rebirth State cultivators and took out a bronze mirror. He smiled and said, "This is the Mirror of Broken Images. If you are really dark cultivators, your faces will not appear in this mirror. Therefore, it is very easy to find out your identities. If they have wronged you, I will stand up for you. If you are really dark cultivators, then you can only come with me!"
