For wealthy Heaven's Mandate Cultivators and even Celestial Bridge Cultivators, although middle-grade flight-type Dao Artefacts were precious, they were not to the point of going crazy over them. However, in this place, almost all rogue cultivators were not rich, and most of them were cultivators below the Celestial Bridge Realm.
When Ning Cheng took out a middle-grade flight-type Dao Artefact, it immediately attracted the attention of many cultivators. At this moment, everyone started asking each other about the whereabouts of the original three people in this place.
At this time, not to mention that most people did not know about it, even if they knew, they would not tell others.
Ning Cheng's gaze swept through the crowd, and after half-an-incense stick worth of time, an old man with white hair and a white beard, with cultivation in the Undead Realm, stood up. He walked up to Ning Cheng and bowed before speaking, "Senior, although I heard some of the words of those three people, I'm not sure."
"Whether you're sure or not, speak first." Ning Cheng said immediately.
"Yes." The old man did not dare to hesitate, "I was also nearby at that time. The two female cultivators were supporting a male cultivator with a sickly face. One of the female cultivators said that they should go to the Ancient Shadow Temple. However, the male cultivator said that he definitely could not go to the temple in his current state. He also said that the cultivation of the two female cultivators was too low, and that they couldn't go alone. As for whether they went in or not, I'm not sure, because I didn't follow behind them. "
"When did this happen?" Ning Cheng asked in a deep voice.
The old man quickly replied, "Nearly three months ago. It happened after their shop was occupied."
Ning Cheng's gaze swept through the crowd again, "Who else knows the exact news?"
No one in the crowd stood up to speak. In fact, among the cultivators here, who had the time to care about others? As for deceiving this powerhouse with a terrifying demonic pet, no one dared to even think about it.
Seeing that no one knew anything about Ning Ruolan, Ning Cheng put the middle-grade Dao Artefact into the hands of the old man, "This airship is yours."
The old man took the airship in surprise and immediately spoke up, "I'm selling this flight-type weapon, the highest bidder wins."
For him, the most important thing right now was not the flight-type weapon, but the celestial coins. Only with enough celestial coins could he buy medicinal pills. Moreover, this flight-type weapon still burned his hand.
Ning Cheng did not care about it. He directly arranged an Array Formation over the ruins. Then a huge sign was erected in front of the Array Formation, Cheng Ruolan Materials. This sign was bigger than all the signs in the surrounding shops, but no one dared to say that this sign affected their business.
Even the other four major chambers of commerce in Named Descendant Celestial River did not dare to say that they were blocking the way at this time.
Ning Cheng believed that as long as Ruolan came here, she would definitely see this sign. One look at this sign and they knew that he had come. In this place, only he and Ruolan knew about Cheng Ruolan's materials.
"I'm going to the Ancient Shadow Temple now. You can come with me." Ning Cheng looked back at Lu Yu and Dong Li, who had been following behind him.
Lu Yu was a very meticulous person. She knew that if she followed Ning Cheng and received Ning Cheng's protection, it would not be an opportunity for her and Dong Li. If he wanted a lucky chance, he would have to leave a deeper impression in front of this Senior Ning.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu bowed and said, "Senior, Dong Li and I will stay here and wait for you. If Dong Li and I enter the Sacred Palace with low cultivation bases, we will only disturb you. "
Ning Cheng was just about to say, aren't you afraid of Ji Clan's revenge? But when the words came to his mouth, he understood Lu Yu's meaning. Lu Yu wanted to stay here in case Ruolan and the others saw the sign and came back. It would be dangerous for her to stay here, but it would be equally dangerous for Ruolan to come back. She wanted to express her feelings to him. For Ruolan, she wasn't afraid of danger.
"Alright, you can stay here. I'll leave a cave for you. When Ruolan comes back, crush the jade talisman immediately. If there's any danger, crush the jade talisman immediately. " Ning Cheng took out a jade talisman and handed it to Lu Yu. At the same time, he brought out a cave within the original array formation.
"You take care of this place. Master won't treat you badly." Chasing Bull also put on an act.
"You stay here too." Ning Cheng glanced at Chasing Bull.
He guessed that Ji Clan wouldn't take the initiative to attack. Besides, even if Ji Clan wanted to take action, Lu Yu could crush the jade talisman and he would have enough time to come back. In case Ruolan came back, Chasing Bull would take care of her. At least in terms of speed, Chasing Bull had the advantage.
Chasing Bull didn't dare to refute Ning Cheng's words. Fortunately, there were many people here, so it didn't mind staying here. In fact, it even felt quite satisfied.
… …
When Ning Cheng arrived at the entrance to the Ancient Shadow Temple, a large blockade greeted him. Four late-stage Fate State cultivators were standing in front of the only entrance to the barrier, clearly guarding it.
"What's going on?" Ning Cheng looked at the entrance in doubt and asked.
The leading Heaven's Mandate cultivator respectfully cupped his fists towards Ning Cheng and said, "Friend, all cultivators who enter the Ancient Shadow Temple must pay 10,000 purple coins. This is the rule set by the Celestial Lord."
The four of them stood guard at the entrance of the Ancient Shadow Temple and naturally knew about what happened not long ago. Ning Cheng's companion beast had killed Named River Chamber of Commerce's Association Head Fu Yinghe. The four of them combined couldn't even withstand a single hoof of that companion beast. So how could they dare to be rude to Ning Cheng?
At this time, many cultivators followed Ning Cheng to see if Ning Cheng would pay the fee before entering the entrance. More people hoped that Ning Cheng wouldn't pay the fee and open the entrance. That way, everyone could follow behind him and make a fortune.
10,000 purple coins might not mean much to Ning Cheng, but for ordinary cultivators, even after countless years, they might not be able to save up 10,000 purple coins. Even if these cultivators wanted to enter the Ancient Shadow Temple, they might not be able to do so.
Ning Cheng guessed that the purpose of setting up the entrance fee was to reduce the number of cultivators entering, and at the same time, to increase some extra wealth. Some of the cultivators who obtained good things and wanted to come out of this place would most likely suffer another layer of exploitation. Thinking about the cultivators who came from afar, how could they not go in when they arrived at the entrance? Even if the entrance fee was a bit more expensive, those cultivators who came from afar would still find a way to take it out.
However, Ning Cheng started to worry. If this entrance fee was set up a long time ago, then Ruolan would definitely not go in. The three of them had 30,000 purple coins, and relying on a small restaurant wouldn't be enough to earn so many celestial coins.
"When was this entrance fee set up?" Ning Cheng asked as he thought about it.
The cultivator who spoke to Ning Cheng replied with even more respect, "More than two months ago, under the orders of the Celestial Lord."
This fellow had mentioned the Celestial Lord several times to let Ning Cheng vaguely understand that it was the Second Revenant Star's Celestial Lord. You can't treat this place as the Named River Chamber of Commerce.
"The Celestial Lord you spoke of is the Second Revenant Star's Celestial Lord, Ji Youzhi?" Ning Cheng's tone turned cold. Sooner or later, he would come knocking on Ji Clan's door. But now that Ji Clan had forced Ruolan to go to some unknown place, the anger in his heart had already started to burn.
"That's right." The Heaven's Mandate Cultivator gave out a sigh and finally brought up the Celestial Lord's name in a euphemistic manner.
But then he felt something wrong. What was wrong? That's right, the cultivator in front of him directly addressed the Celestial Lord's name without even a shred of respect.
Just as he figured out the problem, Ning Cheng gave a cold snort and spoke up, "You don't need to worry about this place anymore. From now on, there will be no entrance fee, and anyone can freely enter and exit this place. Since it's an ownerless mystic realm, it belongs to everyone. "
The other Heaven's Mandate Cultivator suddenly felt anxious and spoke up, "How can it be ownerless? Since this mystic realm appeared on the Second Revenant Star, then it naturally belongs to Sir Celestial Lord ….. "
Ning Cheng chuckled, "Since it appeared on the Second Revenant Star, then it belongs to Sir Celestial Lord. This Sir Celestial Lord sure is awe-inspiring. Now that I'm the closest to the entrance to this mystic realm, I declare this Ancient Shadow Temple to be mine. "
"You …." The Heaven's Mandate Cultivator felt so angry at Ning Cheng that he didn't know what to say for a while.
However, Ning Cheng didn't wait for him to speak at all. He raised his hand and slapped the four cultivators, sending them flying. The next moment, Ning Cheng brought out the Nirvana Spear. From this, one could see how overbearing Ji Clan was. They even set up a fee to enter the mystic realm.
The Nirvana Spear brought out a series of spear shadows. "Katcha, Katcha ….."
Ning Cheng destroyed all the restrictions set up at the entrance with ease. In just a few breaths, the entrance to the Ancient Shadow Temple no longer faced any obstacles. Anyone could enter the Ancient Shadow Temple from here without having to pay a single celestial coin.
The crowd of onlookers immediately stirred up and cheered. At the same time, no one wanted to fall behind and rushed towards the Ancient Shadow Temple.
Ning Cheng stood at the entrance and spoke up, "Everyone, if you see her, please help her. After coming out in the future, I will definitely reward you handsomely. "
Ning Cheng casually drew out Ning Ruolan's image. He didn't dare to say that Ruolan was his younger sister. If it was just an ordinary friend, others might help out because of some benefits. But if it was a relative, who knew if someone would try to harm Ruolan because of favouritism towards Ji Clan?
"Many thanks, senior. We will remember." The cultivators who went in all promised. This promise didn't require much effort. If they saw someone, they could help out and form a good relationship with such a powerful senior.
Every cultivator who rushed into the temple cupped their fists towards Ning Cheng to express their gratitude.
Ning Cheng also didn't hesitate and rushed into the temple. Ning Cheng wasn't familiar with the Ancient Shadow Temple, but the name sounded strange. He felt afraid that Ruolan would enter the Ancient Shadow Temple. With Ruolan's cultivation, it would definitely be dangerous.
The road into the Ancient Shadow Temple was paved with bluestone, and every step made a creaking sound. Even Ning Cheng's spiritual consciousness couldn't penetrate the surrounding scenery. Ning Cheng had only walked a dozen meters when he felt an emptiness around him. He immediately understood that this was a teleportation array.
The Ancient Shadow Temple wasn't just outside the east gate of Covered Snow City, but it wasn't the Ancient Shadow Temple.
Ning Cheng landed on the ground and found that the surroundings didn't look like a real hall. However, his spiritual consciousness couldn't penetrate up, down, left, or right. He didn't immediately go in to check the situation. Instead, he looked back to see how to get out.
