"Ruxue, I'm leaving." Yan Ji stood up. Although her face was still pale, her tone seemed to have calmed down.
Nalan Ruxue also stood up. She had been with Yan Ji for a long time and knew her very well. Yan Ji had an independent personality and was very assertive. From a certain point of view, Yan Ji was much stronger and more independent than her. Even if she had lived alone in the starry sky for many years, she still couldn't compare to Yan Ji.
She also knew that Yan Ji had decided to kill Lifeless Poisonhand and Heartless Monk. However, she didn't try to persuade Yan Ji. She knew that she couldn't persuade Yan Ji. Yan Ji always planned before taking action. She would never act impulsively. Even if she wanted to kill these two people, she wouldn't do it immediately.
"I'm leaving too. You have to be careful. I got the inheritance. After I reach Dao Sculpting in the future, I will come back here. " Nalan Ruxue just told Yan Ji to be careful. Since Ning Cheng had fallen, she wouldn't stay on the periphery of the Grand Essence Ruins' public square. She wanted to finish her own things. If Yan Ji hadn't killed these two people after she reached Dao Sculpting, she would take action.
… …
After going into seclusion for a year, Ning Cheng heard about what happened a year ago. He guessed that Heartless Monk would come to find him, but he didn't expect that he would actually go. It seemed that it was always good to prepare for a rainy day.
After leaving the cave, Ning Cheng wore the mask he had refined and came to the Quest Hall. He had refined artefacts for a year, but he could only refine low-rank spirit artefacts. Because it was a mask-type weapon that he refined himself, ordinary Dao Sculpting cultivators wouldn't be able to see his appearance. Even cultivators above Dao Sculpting wouldn't be able to see through him if they didn't use their spiritual consciousness to scan him.
He was just an inconspicuous rogue cultivator on a mission. Therefore, there shouldn't be any experts specifically looking for him. What's more, there weren't many experts above Dao Sculpting in the Grand Essence Ruins' public square.
Ning Cheng quickly found that he was wrong. A year ago, there weren't many experts above the Dao Sculpting Realm here. In fact, there were only a few of them. This time, as soon as he entered the Quest Hall, he saw seven or eight powerful auras. Even if he didn't use his spiritual consciousness to scan them, he knew that these experts had stronger cultivation than Dao Sculpting cultivators.
Ning Cheng took in a deep breath and converged his aura. Then, he looked at the big screen with many ordinary cultivators.
It didn't take long for Ning Cheng to find the quest to capture the Heartless Monk and Lifeless Poisonhand. Ning Cheng didn't care about the mission. Since these two dared to attack a cave in the Grand Essence Ruins' public square, it made sense for them to be wanted by the Grand Essence Ruins' public square.
However, Ning Cheng soon did not think so, because he saw the reward for the two of them, it was 2 million points for each of them. Moreover, they wanted them alive. Even those who provided information about these two people would be able to obtain 500,000 points, which made Ning Cheng's heart suddenly skip a beat.
He was just an insignificant rogue cultivator here. Even if someone sneak attacked him and killed him, the Grand Essence Ruins' public square's cave would never pay such a high price to capture these two people. The only possibility was that this wasn't a task issued by the Grand Essence Ruins' public square cave. The Ji and the mission, not the mission. the mission. and the two.
Tian, only. only, Cheng, Dead, and the King., and, Su,.., only, the two, the two, it, he., he. and, and had.
..., only, he, he, he., he, he, of of of of of, of of Ning Cheng started to hypothesize that if this wanted person was after him, or if this person wanted to know if he had truly fallen or not, then looking for the living Lifeless Poisonhand and the Heartless Monk would be excusable.
But who would pay such a high price to find him? The most likely suspects were Lifeless Poisonhand and the Heartless Monk. But these two were wanted.
Apart from them, there was only Beyond Heaven Path. He had only offended a few people since coming to the Grand Essence Ruins. Ning Cheng also knew that Beyond Heaven Path wouldn't dare to look for him through the Heartless Monk and Lifeless Poisonhand. What's more, Beyond Heaven Path didn't have the strength to do so.
Ning Cheng walked to a corner of the Quest Hall and asked for a cup of ordinary spiritual tea.
He picked up the spiritual tea and took a sip unconsciously. Just as he was about to put down the spiritual tea, he saw a man with a striped face walk into the Quest Hall.
Ninth Prince?
Ning Cheng quickly determined that this person wasn't the Ninth Prince. This person's face looked similar to the Ninth Prince, Man Jiuren. He had a few lines on his face and looked a bit similar. But he definitely wasn't Man Jiuren.
Thinking of Man Jiuren, the leaf covering Ning Cheng's thoughts suddenly opened up, and Ning Cheng's heart suddenly became as clear as a mirror.
The Grand Essence Sea's Ninth Prince had returned. Only his father had the courage to come up with so many points to find Ning Cheng's whereabouts.
Since the Ninth Prince's father had such courage, it naturally wasn't just to avenge the Ninth Prince. Rather, it was because of his Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow. Man Jiuren knew about the power of his Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow. Presumably, Man Jiuren would tell this news to his father, which meant that his father had come looking for the Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow.
Ning Cheng didn't know the cultivation of the Ninth Prince's father. But Ning Cheng could guess that his father was definitely a super powerhouse.
Facing such a powerhouse, an Eternal cultivator, looking for him, Ning Cheng's heart suddenly turned cold. He felt sure that once any news about him leaked out, he wouldn't be able to escape to the Grand Essence Ruins.
Ning Cheng forced himself to calm down. He slowly took in a deep breath and thought about what he should do. Although the man with the striped face wasn't Man Jiuren, he definitely had a relationship with Man Jiuren. Maybe he was Man Jiuren's brother.
After drinking the spiritual tea, Ning Cheng stood up. Since the Ninth Prince's father had put a bounty on his head, he couldn't come here wearing a mask again.
If he appeared with a mask-type weapon, people wouldn't recognise him at first glance. But at the same time, he would also attract the most suspicion.
… …
An hour later, Ning Cheng entered the depths of the Grand Essence Ruins. He took off the mask and changed his appearance in a straightforward way.
Under Ning Cheng's deliberate actions, the original contours of his face turned into an ordinary face. The first impression that this face gave people was that it had to do missions in the Grand Essence Ruins over a long period of time. On his exposed neck, there was even a scar left behind by a poison-attributed demonic beast. His hair was no longer grey but had turned ashen white.
After doing all this, Ning Cheng felt a little relieved. Although these changes would gradually disappear as he cultivated, or he could remove them with a drop of Glimmer of Dawn Ice Essence, at least for now, no one would recognise him as Ning Cheng.
For a powerful starry sky cultivator, the easiest thing to change was one's appearance. What was truly difficult to change was a person's aura. A person's cultivation method determined that person's aura.
If Ning Cheng didn't have the Mysterious Yellow Formless, he wouldn't have changed his appearance in vain. It might be difficult for others to change their aura, but it wasn't difficult for the Mysterious Yellow Formless. The Mysterious Yellow Formless was invisible and formless, and it could change one's aura. As long as it wasn't someone close to him, no one would be able to recognise him from his aura.
Unless a top-level powerhouse had known Ning Cheng for a long time and saw him changing his aura, that person would be able to find clues about him. In fact, the strongest person Ning Cheng knew before was Pan Qian.
A few days later, Ning Cheng, with his appearance and aura completely changed, returned to the Grand Essence Ruins' Quest Hall. He wanted to see if anyone could recognise him. If someone could, he would immediately escape to the Grand Essence Ruins.
… …
Half a year later, an artefact-crafting stall in the Grand Essence Ruins' public square became famous. This artefact-crafting stall was called Wanderer Artefact-Crafting, and the owner of the artefact-crafting stall was called Wanderer.
This wanderer's cultivation and appearance couldn't be compared to the magic treasures he had refined. Don't look at Wanderer's ordinary appearance, which made him look unremarkable. However, the low-rank spirit artefacts he crafted were top-notch. They were even more beautiful and powerful than the low-rank spirit artefacts in the Quest Hall's merchant house.
But that wasn't the main point. Wanderer only needed to provide the materials and then provide some points or spirit crystals for the artefact-crafting stall. This way, the price was only half of the price in the Quest Hall's merchant house.
No cultivator in the Grand Essence Ruins didn't know about Wanderer's artefact-crafting stall. Most cultivators who wanted low-rank spirit artefacts wouldn't go to the merchant house to buy them. Instead, they would come to this artefact-crafting stall.
Unfortunately, this artefact-crafting stall could only refine low-rank spirit artefacts. It couldn't refine middle-rank spirit artefacts.
This artefact-crafting stall was located not far from the Grand Essence Ruins' Quest Hall. Every month, one had to pay a lot of points to the Quest Hall. Many people tried to persuade Wanderer to set up his stall in another place. They would also go there and buy a shop.
However, this Wanderer was a bit dull. Not only was he not good with words, but he also didn't know how to do business. As usual, he paid the points to the Quest Hall and set up his stall next to the Quest Hall.
Wanderer's artefact-crafting stall was naturally set up by Ning Cheng. He set up the Wanderer's artefact-crafting stall next to the Quest Hall. Earning points was just a side job. What he really wanted to wait for was Yan Ji. As long as Yan Ji came back to hand over the task, he would immediately see her. Because of the Ninth Prince's attention, he didn't dare to publicly issue a task to find Yan Ji. Therefore, he could only use this method to wait.
Half a year later, Ning Cheng could already refine middle-rank spirit artefacts. He could even barely refine ordinary high-rank spirit artefacts. However, he still only refined low-rank spirit artefacts. He knew that even with the Quest Hall's protection, he couldn't really snatch the business of those merchant houses.
He could only refine low-rank spirit artefacts. Moreover, he paid the points to the Quest Hall every month. Therefore, he could stay here for a long time without any problems.
The only thing that disappointed Ning Cheng was that even after half a year, he still hadn't seen Yan Ji's shadow. Ning Cheng didn't know if Yan Ji had joined a sect in the Grand Essence Domain or if she was doing a task in the depths of the Grand Essence Ruins.
However, Ning Cheng could rest assured about one thing. Countless spiritual consciousnesses had checked him over the past six months, and no one had suspected anything.
On this day, Ning Cheng was helping a rogue cultivator craft a low-rank Spirit Artefact when he felt a spiritual consciousness that made him tremble in fear sweep over him. It felt as if someone would see through him at this moment.
Ning Cheng suddenly looked up and saw a middle-aged man wearing an imperial crown walking towards the Quest Hall. Although this man didn't release any aura to suppress him, Ning Cheng felt like he was looking up at him. This was definitely the most powerful cultivator he had seen since coming to the Grand Essence Ruins. This person was even more powerful than the red-haired man. Ning Cheng couldn't sense the extent of this man's cultivation.
When Ning Cheng saw Man Jiuren, who had already restored his corporeal body, he instantly understood that this man wearing an imperial crown must be Man Jiuren's cheap father.
