Ning Cheng had just walked out of Returning Capital Starry Sky City when he saw two acquaintances, Xun Zhihe and Mu Hao. Xun Zhihe was the Starry Sky Emperor of the Water Immortal Starry Sky, and Ning Cheng had even helped her once in the Ancient Shadow Temple.
Xun Zhihe and Mu Hao had escaped from the Ancient Shadow Temple. Ning Cheng had heard about it from Yi Jiufeng, but he didn't expect her to also be in Returning Capital Starry Sky City. Xun Zhihe and Mu Hao probably came to Gui City to participate in the auction.
Beside Xun Zhihe and Mu Hao, there were two men, who were also Eternal Realm powerhouses. As for Xun Zhihe and Mu Hao, Ning Cheng guessed that these two must also be Starry Sky Emperors of a starry sky.
"Sect Master Ning, I didn't expect to meet you here ….." Xun Zhihe immediately called out in joy when she saw Ning Cheng. She had previously gone to the rest stop where Ning Cheng was resting but could not find Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng had helped her in the Ancient Shadow Temple, and she had always remembered this kindness.
With a dead face, Mu Hao, who did not like to talk, also cupped his fists towards Ning Cheng when he saw him.
Ning Cheng returned the courtesy, "I did not expect to see Senior Apprentice Sister Xun and Elder Brother Mu here."
Knowing that the person they met was Ning Cheng, the man with an aquiline nose and thick eyebrows standing next to Xun Zhihe quickly stepped forward and cupped his fists towards Ning Cheng. "Nine Jewels Starry Sky's Shangguan Fei greets Sect Master Ning. The last time Sect Master Ning visited Nine Jewels Starry Sky, Shangguan Fei wasn't around. Sorry for the neglect."
Shangguan Fei spoke about the last time Ning Cheng went to Everlasting Sacred Shrine. Ning Cheng killed Seeking Intelligence and destroyed the Everlasting Sacred Tree in Everlasting Sacred Shrine. Shangguan Fei naturally knew about it. Everlasting Sacred Shrine was one of the top sects in Nine Jewels Starry Sky. If an ordinary person dared to provoke his sect within his own starry sky, the Starry Sky Emperor would have already flown into a rage. However, Shangguan Fei knew that he was not qualified to show his anger in front of Ning Cheng.
Of the four Starry Sky Emperors, three of them politely greeted Ning Cheng. However, the fourth man acted as if he did not see Ning Cheng, with an incomparably arrogant demeanor. This man had the cultivation of the late-stage Eternal Realm, and his face exuded a murderous aura. Moreover, the Celestial Essence surrounding his body felt extremely vigorous, and even the Celestial Wheels behind him had formed into a single layer. Ning Cheng could clearly see that this person was a top-notch powerhouse.
For such a person, Ning Cheng naturally would not take the initiative to greet him.
"I've always wanted to go to the Mysterious Yellow Celestial River to thank Sect Master Ning. It just so happened that we met in Returning Capital. If Sect Master Ning has some free time, please come to my place to rest for a while." Xun Zhihe invited him warmly.
Ning Cheng really wanted to sit down with Xun Zhihe. He had heard everything about the Ancient Shadow Temple from Yi Jiufeng. Now, he planned to ask Xun Zhihe and Mu Hao about it. He was eager to advance to the Eternal Realm, so he didn't care about these few hours.
At this time, the baleful looking man who ignored Ning Cheng spoke to Shangguan Fei, "Brother Shangguan, we have to hurry up."
Shangguan Fei nodded, cupped his fists towards Ning Cheng and the others and spoke, "Sect Master Ning, Fairy Zhihe, Brother Mu, I have something to take care of, so I will have to take my leave first."
Mu Hao just snorted, but Xun Zhihe said with a smile, "Brother Shangguan, if you have something to do, you can go first."
After Shangguan Fei and the baleful looking man left, Xun Zhihe said to Ning Cheng, "The one with Shangguan Fei is Devil Domain Starry Sky's Starry Sky Emperor Teng Shao. He's a very arrogant person, but Sect Master Ning doesn't have to worry about him."
Ning Cheng showed a slight smile. He didn't care about such a person and just casually said, "This Teng Shao must have some kind of deal with Shangguan Fei, but he looks quite mysterious."
Ning Cheng also didn't say a word. Shangguan Fei had middle-stage Eternal cultivation. If he had some kind of deal with Teng Shao, then even his bones would have been eaten by others.
Xun Zhihe said, "The two must have some kind of deal, but Shangguan Fei was in a hurry to go back because his niece, Shangguan Man 'er, was killed by a little cultivator named Yan Ji. His younger brother, Shangguan Xiang, is the Celestial River King of Night Essence Celestial River. Even after mobilizing all the cultivators of Night Essence Celestial River, they still couldn't catch that little cultivator with low cultivation. Moreover, something happened. Shangguan Fei wanted to go back to help ….. "
"Did you just say that the cultivator was called Yan Ji?" Ning Cheng interrupted Xun Zhihe's words in surprise.
Xun Zhihe looked at Ning Cheng in doubt and replied, "Yes, Shangguan Fei's younger brother is called Shangguan Xiang. He went back before the auction started. He was the one who mentioned the name Yan Ji."
"Senior Apprentice Sister Xun, Brother Mu, I have an urgent matter to take care of. Let's sit down again when I'm free." After Ning Cheng finished, he didn't wait for Xun Zhihe to answer and immediately brought out the Starry Sky Wheel and rushed out.
Xun Zhihe looked at Ning Cheng's disappearing back and asked in doubt, "Who is that Yan Ji to Sect Master Ning?"
She suddenly remembered that the Devil Domain had a secret teleportation array that led directly to Culmination Sky. Wouldn't it be faster if Ning Cheng took the teleportation array? But then she thought of the grudge between Ning Cheng and Devil Domain's Heavenly Emperor Qiao Jierui and immediately suppressed the idea. Shangguan Xiang could use the teleportation array through his connections, but Ning Cheng might not be able to.
Ning Cheng truly felt anxious. There were countless people with the same name within the starry sky. But what if Yan Ji was the same Yan Ji from Graceful Star Mainland? If it really was her, once he arrived too late and Shangguan Xiang killed Yan Ji, it wouldn't help him even if he killed Shangguan Xiang.
… …
Ning Cheng's Starry Sky Wheel had just rushed out of Silent Bubble Starland, and the Starry Sky Wheel hadn't even reached its full speed when someone stopped him.
Someone had arranged a Entrapment Formation in the direction of his return. Although this Entrapment Formation couldn't restrain him, it could still prevent him from leaving quickly.
"Qiao Jierui, get out of my way before I lose my temper. Otherwise, don't blame me for falling out with you." Ning Cheng looked at Qiao Jierui, who stopped him in front of him, and no longer had any thoughts of feigning civility. Instead, his eyes filled with anger.
Qiao Jierui didn't care about Ning Cheng's anger and looked at Ning Cheng with disdain. "Ning Cheng, others might fear you, but I, Qiao Jierui, am not. Hand over the Earth Origin Bead and the Starry Sky Wheel, as well as the gourd you got from the Ancient Shadow Temple last time, and I'll let you go. Otherwise, this place would have been your burial place today. "As the premier Heavenly Emperor of the Devil Domain, why would he fear Ning Cheng, who hadn't reached Dao Confirming Realm?
Ning Cheng didn't bother to speak even half a word of nonsense and immediately shot out with a semi-top-grade long spear.
Unfortunately, he hadn't refined his Celestial Rainbow Purgatory Spear yet. Otherwise, his strength would have risen to another level.
While Ning Cheng and Chuan Xinlou fought, Qiao Jierui had been watching from the side. Therefore, he had a clear understanding of Ning Cheng's means. So what if he touched the Laws of Time?
Almost at the same time as Ning Cheng, Qiao Jierui also started. Qiao Jierui's magic treasure was the Five-coloured Myriad Sifting Banner. The moment the Five-coloured Myriad Sifting Banner came out, it transformed into five large banners of five different colours. The five colours covered the starry sky in the shortest time possible.
In front of Ning Cheng's eyes, the starry sky disappeared, and Qiao Jierui also disappeared. Even the Five-coloured Myriad Connecting Banner disappeared at this moment. Only the five colours remained. These five colours seemed incompatible with the world around them, as if they were completely independent.
Ning Cheng found himself surrounded by these five colours. This five-coloured space didn't belong to him, but to his opponent, Qiao Jierui. In someone else's space, Ning Cheng couldn't do anything. Perhaps he could only wait, wait for the five-coloured space to sweep him away completely.
No matter what he did, Ning Cheng was never the kind of person who just waited, not to mention this kind of life and death battle. The spiritual consciousness in his starry sky Sea of Consciousness crazily condensed, forming a Spiritual Consciousness Blade and a Spiritual Consciousness Thorn. At the same time, the Spiritual Consciousness Blade also connected with the long spear in the five-coloured space.
Suddenly, something appeared within the five-coloured space. It was a multi-coloured light, the Sunset Glow.
The five-coloured space wrapped around Ning Cheng suddenly trembled and showed signs of loosening. At this time, the colours of the starry sky outside the five-coloured space also started to come alive. It seemed that the time before and after couldn't match up, creating a dislocation between space and time.
Seeing Ning Cheng showing signs of breaking free from his space-related spirit technique, Qiao Jierui's expressions changed slightly. He knew that Ning Cheng's understanding of the Laws of Time had just started, while his understanding of the Laws of Space could form a five-coloured space spirit technique. In terms of understanding the laws, his understanding of the Laws of Space definitely surpassed Ning Cheng's understanding of the Laws of Time. In this five-colored space of his, he was the master. However, Ning Cheng's Laws of Time had shaken his five-coloured space and was on the verge of tearing it apart.
"Boom ….." Qiao Jierui's Sea of Consciousness trembled, and then his five-coloured space began to crack open. Even the Five-coloured Myriad Connecting Banner gradually became clear.
Ning Cheng, who had just broken free from the shackles, waved his hand again, and a huge seal suddenly blasted out.
"Katcha" The five-coloured space created by the Five-coloured Myriad Connecting Banner completely collapsed under Ning Cheng's Hope-powered Seal.
Before Qiao Jierui could cry out, a setting sun appeared in front of him, and he felt everything come to a standstill. A long spear passed through the setting sun like a poisonous snake and quickly approached his glabella.
Qiao Jierui felt a burst of beauty, but his heart skipped a beat. The next moment, his entire soul turned cold. This was not a beautiful sunset, but Ning Cheng's Dusk Spirit Technique, the Laws of Time.
At this moment, Qiao Jierui no longer cared about anything else and crazily stimulated his celestial essence. Ning Cheng's long spear had not yet pierced Qiao Jierui's glabella, but the latter's glabella automatically opened up and a black light shot out. Ning Cheng's long spear slowed down for no reason. But at this moment, Qiao Jierui gathered the Five-coloured Myriad Connecting Banner together and transformed it into a spacial shield.
"Boom ….." The long spear slammed into the five-coloured Space Shield, causing a loud explosion. Celestial Essence exploded, but it did not cause any damage.
Ning Cheng sighed in his heart. He knew that his Sunset's Twilight couldn't do anything to Qiao Jierui. It wasn't that his Laws of Time didn't work, but that Qiao Jierui's strength was too high. But before he advanced to the Eternal Realm, his Laws of Time still lacked the Dao Charm of heaven and earth.
Qiao Jierui felt shocked. He knew that when Ning Cheng faced off against Levelled Heart Heavenly Emperor, Ning Cheng was far inferior to Levelled Heart Heavenly Emperor. Although Levelled Heart Heavenly Emperor did not take any action, it was not entirely because he feared Ning Cheng, but because he feared the few of them.
He did not expect that in such a short time, Ning Cheng would not be any worse than him. After a while, would he still be a match for Ning Cheng? A chill rose in Qiao Jierui's heart. He had to kill Ning Cheng today. Otherwise, the gap between him and Ning Cheng would only grow bigger and bigger, unless he succeeded in reaching Dao Confirming Realm.
