After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Ning Cheng was able to restore most of his True Essence with the help of the Spirit Stones.
The red Flying Sword had already fallen into the blood pool, but Ning Cheng did not intend to retrieve it, and just raised his hand to recall the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle. The grey-clothed man's belongings were hidden somewhere. He didn't have a storage bag or any other storage equipment on him.
Ning Cheng did not care about the things on the body of this grey robed man, a person who relied on blood to cultivate, even if he had something on him, it was not something that he wanted.
It was only now that he had the chance to observe his surroundings.
The place he was at had a radius of several hundred square meters, and the surroundings were shrouded by a formation, making it seem vague and hazy. In the middle of this place was the huge blood pool. The blood mist above the pool made it hard to see clearly. His divine sense swept over, but it was immediately blocked by the array formation.
Ning Cheng carefully looked at it several times, and confirmed that there was no other way out of this place other than the blood pool. The way in had been sealed by the grey-robed man, unless he also had a talisman like Pei Guang He, he could use it to leave this place.
His only hope of getting out was the blood pool. Otherwise, he could only attack the surrounding array by himself. Not to mention that Ning Cheng could not understand the surrounding Array Formations, even if he could understand them, he would not dare to attack them casually.
As for the Blood Pool, Ning Cheng did not want to enter it. This Blood Pool was bubbling with blood, after a few of the True Condensation Cultivators fell into it, there was no more movement, just looking at it made one's scalp tingle.
Ning Cheng tested the surface of the blood pool, and after confirming that there was no suction force, he flew over to the platform in the middle of the blood pool where the grey robed man was sitting.
With a wave of his hand, Ning Cheng immediately threw the bone fragments on the platform into the blood pool.
Ning Cheng used the Long Spear in his hand to knock on the platform, causing it to emit a burst of rustling sound.
Is it empty? Ning Cheng immediately became a little excited in his heart, although he did not care about the things of this grey robed man, but he did not know how long this grey robed man had stayed in this place. However, this relic was real. Perhaps all the items in the relic were stored here by the grey-clothed man.
Ning Cheng did not spend much time before he was able to see the Array Formation carved on the platform. This was a simple Sealing Array Formation. Ning Cheng had only thrown out a few Array Flags, and with a raise of his hand, he was able to lift up a lid from the platform.
A long and narrow staircase appeared under Ning Cheng's feet. Ning Cheng swept out with his Spiritual Sense, and after confirming that there were no problems, he stepped onto the staircase, while at the same time once again covering the outside of the staircase.
It was unknown where the staircase led to. It was deep and long. Ning Cheng walked for a full half an hour, before he finally saw that there were no more stairs in front of him, but instead there was a sandstone paved path. Around the small path, there were some Illumination Stones floating in the air.
Ning Cheng walked along the trail for nearly an hour, before he finally saw a stone house without a door.
After confirming that there was no danger in this stone house, Ning Cheng finally entered the stone house. In the middle of the stone house sat a white skeleton. It was unknown how many years this skeleton had been there, but it still exuded a powerful pressure. It was even more powerful than the skeleton that the grey-robed man had picked up from the blood pool.
On both sides of the stone house, apart from a stone table, there was only a stone shelf. There was nothing on the table or on the shelf. It could be seen that the things here had already been taken away by the people who had come before.
As Ning Cheng approached the skeleton, he had some suspicions that this skeleton belonged to the legendary Sea Opening Realm Cultivator. On the ground in front of the skeleton, Ning Cheng saw a row of small characters, 'If you want to enter my sect, kowtow 49 times'.
Not to mention that Ning Cheng had not obtained anything, even if he had obtained something, he would not kowtow 49 times to an unfamiliar skeleton for no reason.
Ning Cheng walked to the foot of the wall, brought out the Spear in his hands, and aimed it at the place where the words were written on the skeleton.
"Boom"
The Spear hit the ground, splashing up countless gravel. The skeleton suddenly broke apart at the same time, and shot out a dense amount of white bone arrows. Ning Cheng was startled, and immediately punched out with his Axe Fist. The white bone arrows seemed to be very old, as they were blown away by Ning Cheng's Axe Fist, and fell in front of Ning Cheng, unexpectedly not injuring Ning Cheng at all.
Ning Cheng sighed, and looked at the skeleton, which had already broken apart and fallen to the ground. The ground that was blasted open by his Spear, as well as the place where the skeleton had fallen, did not have anything. Ning Cheng was not disappointed, when he came in, he knew that the things here had already been taken away by the people who had come before him.
At this time, a sand dragon fell down, and the roof of the stone house cracked open, causing the yellow sand outside the roof to fall down.
Ning Cheng was not surprised, rather he was happy, since there was yellow sand falling down here, it meant that the Thunder Fall Desert was above him, as long as he followed the yellow sand upstream, he would eventually reach the desert.
A sharp cry came from a distant passage, Ning Cheng immediately recognized that the cry was coming from the voice of the young queen Xiu Xiu. He did not know if this woman had entered the passage, or if the cry came from somewhere else. If she had entered the passage, then it meant that the Array Formation that sealed the blood pool had already been opened.
But Ning Cheng did not want to go back, this ruin must have been searched countless times, moreover when he came in, he felt that the breeze was not right. The inside of the ruins was so strange, he did not have the idea of continuing to explore, it would be better to go up from the yellow sand that had fallen.
When Ning Cheng crossed the ground that he had blasted open with his Spear, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He was a Tier 2 Array Formation Master, so he could see that there was a Concealment Array Formation engraved on one of the broken stones. He immediately picked up the broken stone, and with a little effort, an exquisite Imperial Jade Seal appeared in his hands. The Imperial Jade Seal was engraved with four words, Lan Yi Country.
"Hua … …" The yellow sand was falling more and more, Ning Cheng could no longer think about anything else, he threw the Imperial Jade Seal into his Storage Bag, grabbed his Spear and instantly rushed into the yellow sand.
Under the operation of his True Essence, Ning Cheng moved upstream in the yellow sand.
One hour, two hours … …
Half a day passed by, Ning Cheng was still moving upstream in the yellow sand, Ning Cheng felt as if he was at the lowest point of the sand, and was still far away from the top.
Fortunately, Ning Cheng was already a True Condensation Cultivator, and was able to breathe internally, otherwise he would have been suffocated to death. After half a day, he stopped, and began to rest and restore his True Essence.
After another half a day, Ning Cheng felt that the place where the Spear was in contact with had loosened, and the next moment the pressure on his head had also loosened. Bursts of yellow sand rolled over, Ning Cheng gave a long sigh, he finally arrived at the top of the desert.
Ning Cheng did not stay here for even half a breath, he immediately found a direction and quickly left the place. He wanted to leave the vicinity first, and then find a safe place to clean himself up, and then restore his True Essence.
An hour later, Ning Cheng found a withered poplar tree on the periphery, he decided to rest here.
Before deciding to rest here, Ning Cheng swept out with his Spiritual Consciousness, at this time his Spiritual Sense could already see a range of more than ten miles around him.
A cultivator with disheveled hair vaguely appeared in the range of Ning Cheng's Spiritual Sense, this cultivator was staggering, it was obvious that he did not have enough strength. This was a female cultivator, looking at her appearance, it seemed that she was running away from the desert.
Luofei? Ning Cheng almost instantly recognized this female cultivator, it turned out to be Ji Luofei.
Wasn't Ji Luofei in the Hua Continent's Falling Star Academy? How could she appear in the Thunder Fall Desert?
Ning Cheng almost did not think, and immediately rushed forward. In just a dozen breaths, Ning Cheng had already arrived in front of Ji Luofei.
Ji Luofei saw a shadow rushing towards her, and almost subconsciously raised the Flying Sword in her hands and chopped it towards Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng simply raised his hand, causing Ji Luofei's Flying Sword to directly deviate. Not waiting for Ji Luofei to make her next move, Ning Cheng had already grabbed Ji Luofei's wrist, "Luofei, what the hell is going on, it's me, Ning Cheng."
"Is she dead?" Ji Luofei's gaze swept over Ning Cheng's face, and the crazed expression in her eyes immediately calmed down, and then she fainted into Ning Cheng's arms. Ning Cheng took out the water from the Spiritual Essence Spring, and fed it to Ji Luofei. He still had some pills in his Storage Bag, these pills were his spoils of war, but he did not know if these pills could be used or not, so he did not take them out.
Ji Luofei was just exhausted, as long as she rested for a while, she should be able to wake up.
Ning Cheng looked for a belt, and put Ji Luofei on his back, he decided to change to another place and wait for Ji Luofei to fully recover.
Ji Luofei was obviously in the Falling Star Academy, but now she was running alone in the desert, something must have happened to her. If she had not met him in time, then as long as she casually cast a desert whirlpool, it would be enough to swallow her up.
Ning Cheng once again changed direction, and at the same time sped up.
Under the agitation of his True Essence, some of the heat emanated out, causing Ji Luofei to wake up. Ji Luofei opened her eyes, and when she saw that she was on the back of a male cultivator, she immediately pulled out her Flying Sword from her waist. However, she immediately discovered that her Flying Sword was not on her body, and at the same time, she remembered the familiar face that she had seen before she fainted.
"Ning Cheng …." Ji Luofei's trembling hand reached out and gently stroked the back of Ning Cheng's neck, as she spoke in a trembling voice, "Are we finally dead?"
Ning Cheng felt Ji Luofei's incomparably gentle palm caressing him, and was just about to speak, when he heard Ji Luofei continue to speak in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry, Ning Cheng. You asked me to help you take revenge, but I can't help you take revenge … You are my only relative, even if I die with you, I am still very happy … … "
Ji Luofei's ears once again rang with Ning Cheng's words.
"Don't be nervous, come with me, just listen to me."
"Luofei, you already know my qualifications, after you leave, just remember to take revenge for me … …"
In her life, no one had ever been so kind to her, even if Ning Cheng had bullied her for more than a decade, he had only been kind to her for a day, but she still could not forget it. Ning Cheng was the only person who had used his own life to save her, so when she did not want to leave Ning Cheng, she had no other choice. Unfortunately, before she died, she could not help Ning Cheng fulfill his wish, to take revenge for Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng suddenly felt a bit sour on the tip of his nose, he really did not do anything to Ji Luofei, before he came out of the prison, he had even bullied Ji Luofei for many years. This woman still regarded him as her only relative, compared to Ji Luofei's actions, Ning Cheng suddenly felt very ashamed.
On the surface, Ji Luofei did not do anything to him, but secretly went to the Fighting Pot and risked her life to win that Qi Gathering Stone, just so that he could cultivate.
