"Jojo, it's not that you don't love me, but you're afraid."
Ding Ning looked at her with eyes that could see through everything.
"Afraid? What am I afraid of?"
Jojo's eyes were full of confusion and doubt.
Ding Ning looked at her quietly. He saw that her once pure and flawless eyes were now covered with a layer of blurry gray fog. He said seriously, "You're too proud, so you're afraid of losing."
Jojo's body trembled. She seemed to understand, and a hint of struggle flashed in her eyes.
"There's always a price to pay for growth. You have to be willing. You have to give up before you gain. But it's not up to others to decide whether to give up or not. It's up to me to decide."
Ding Ning sneered. His eyes were cold, and he spoke in an extremely overbearing manner.
Then he turned his head and shot his eyes into the unknown place in the dark night like an arrow. Suddenly, he concentrated his voice and shouted with a murderous look, "I don't care who you are. If you dare to have any ideas about Jojo again, I promise you'll regret provoking me."
Perhaps his words had an effect. The darkness in Jojo's eyes gradually dissipated, and they became clear again. She looked at Ding Ning without blinking, and her face was full of doubt and inquiry.
"It's okay. It's just a reckless thing that tried to confuse you."
Ding Ning's face did not change, but his heart was in turmoil. There was indeed something wrong with the Tianji Pavilion. That unknown monster could confuse Jojo's mind, making her, who had always been a determined person, doubt life and herself.
Although the unknown thing was scared off by him just now, the process was actually extremely dangerous. If he hadn't instantly entered his second personality and become possessed, and the sound wave attack contained in his voice made the thing extremely afraid, it was hard to tell who would have won and who would have won this round of confrontation.
On the surface, it seemed that he had the upper hand, but he knew that he had actually lost because that thing was invincible. Even if it had been scared off, it would not have suffered any loss.
But if he had not scared off that thing, both he and Jojo might have died. Even if they did not die, they did not know what kind of tragic fate they would encounter. So from this point of view, he had actually lost.
"What is that thing?"
Although Jojo's mind had been affected by that unknown thing just now, her memory was still there, which made her very scared. She subconsciously approached Ding Ning and asked softly.
"I don't know. It's shapeless and intangible, like a demon but not a demon, like a ghost but not a ghost. It's a very unique existence."
Ding Ning's face was solemn, and he stared at the direction where the monster disappeared. Just now, when he opened his Third Eye, he only saw a gray misty existence, which was very similar to the white mist that the Spirit-eating Insects turned into, but not quite the same.
"That's the direction of the Sky Pointing Peak, which is also where the Heaven Dao Pavilion is located."
Jojo followed Ding Ning's gaze and looked in the direction he was looking at. Her face revealed a hint of surprise. The Heavenly Dao Tablet was there, what kind of ghost dared to approach it?
"The Sky Pointing Peak? Where is the Heaven Dao Tablet? "
Ding Ning's heart skipped a beat. He seemed to have vaguely grasped something, but when he thought about it carefully, he seemed to have grasped nothing.
"Yes, this place can also be considered a very close mountain. However, it is only halfway up the mountain. The Heavenly Pointing Peak is where the true main pavilion of the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion is located. It is also the most central location of our Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion. However, before Master fainted, he instructed us to bring him here no matter what. Thus, he received you here."
Qiao Qiao nodded. Although she did not understand, she still explained in detail.
A thoughtful look appeared on Ding Ning's face. His heart was filled with doubts.
As the Pavilion Leader of the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion, why didn't Tian Jizi recuperate in the main pavilion of the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion after he successfully changed his fate? Why did he insist on recuperating halfway up the mountain?
Did he know that there was such a ghost on the Sky Pointing Peak? Or was he worried that outsiders would pry into the secrets of the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion? Or could it be that he was scheming something?
Also, why did that ghost not target anyone but Qiao Qiao?
If it was because of Qiao Qiao's identity as the Young Pavilion Leader, then she had already joined the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion for a long time. Why did that ghost not target her earlier or later, but at this moment? Could it be that because Tian Jizi's coma caused that ghost to be fearless, it decided to attack Qiao Qiao?
If it was really as he thought, then the title of Pavilion Leader or Young Pavilion Leader of the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion would probably be very useful and enticing to that ghost.
But what was the truth? Ding Ning's mind raced, but he could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it. Perhaps, this riddle could only be solved by Tian Jizi.
Ding Ning estimated that the ghost would not dare to come again for a while, so he quietly extended his spiritual consciousness and slowly penetrated the room where Tian Jizi was.
After his continuous exploration and research during this period, the range that his spiritual consciousness could cover had now reached a radius of about 100 meters. Although it was far inferior to the detection range of the divine sense, it was better at concealing itself. Even experts in the Holy Martial Arts Realm would not be able to detect it.
Tian Jizi was lying unconscious on a bamboo bed. His face was pale without a trace of blood, and he looked extremely haggard. His body was shrouded in a faint aura of death. If it were not for the slight rise and fall of his bony chest, he would look like a dead man.
Chi Yang was frowning. His hand exuded a scorching aura, and he put it on Tian Jizi's wrist. As his assistant, Qingyun stood beside him, waiting for his orders. Her beautiful eyebrows were knitted into a big knot.
Tian Kongzi and others stood in a circle outside, looking at Chi Yang with solemn faces and expectant eyes. The atmosphere was so oppressive that it made people feel difficult to breathe.
"What a joke! Chi Yang wants to kill your master."
Ding Ning showed a touch of disdain and anger at the corners of his mouth. He had thought that Chi Yang, as the head of the Holy Medical Family, should have some skills, but he did not expect that he had not even diagnosed Tian Jizi's injury until now. Moreover, he even used the power of flame to explore the injury. He was simply a quack. The head of the Holy Medical Family did not live up to his reputation.
However, he did not know that Chi Yang was also secretly complaining and hated Ding Ning to the bone. Although he was the head of the Holy Medical Family, he focused more on Martial Arts. When it came to medical skills, he could not be ranked in the Holy Medical Family at all, and he could not even compare with his disciple Qingyun.
This time, he personally came to the Holy Medical Family to show that he attached more importance to it. The real attending doctors were actually the six elders of the Elixir Hall who had been killed by Ding Ning.
However, as the head of the Holy Medical Family, outsiders took it for granted that he was a divine doctor, and even his disciple Qingyun thought that his medical skills were very brilliant.
But at this moment, Qingyun had serious doubts about Chi Yang's medical skills. Master had not diagnosed Tian Jizi's injury until now, so he had to use the Red Yang pneuma, which he was famous for, to explore the injury in Tian Jizi's body.
There was nothing wrong with this method, but the problem was that Tian Jizi was extremely weak at the moment, and the Red Yang pneuma was extremely violent and masculine. If it was not careful, Tian Jizi's injury would be aggravated.
However, in her mind, her master was an omnipotent divine doctor. Even if she felt that it was inappropriate, she comforted herself by thinking that it was impossible that her master did not know this out of respect for her master. Since he had done this, there must be a deep meaning.
But then, Tian Jizi frowned tightly in a coma and showed a painful expression. Such a reaction made her faintly feel that her master did not seem to be in control of the situation.
Did her master not come to save Tian Jizi? Instead, he wanted to take the opportunity to kill him?
Thinking of this, Qingyun's face changed dramatically, and she looked at her master in horror. "What a joke! This is the Tianji Pavilion! If Tian Jizi is killed by her master, they will all die with him."
"Bang!"
The door of the room was kicked open unceremoniously, and Ding Ning and Jojo rushed in aggressively.
Tian Kongzi and his companions were livid. They no longer cared about Ding Ning's identity as a member of the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe and shouted angrily, "What are you going to do? Can't you see Sect Leader Chi Yang is saving people? "
Chi Yang's face was also very pale. Although he was not sure that he could save Tian Jizi, he believed that as long as he was given a little more time, he could still find out where the injury was.
He already hated Ding Ning to the bone, and now that Ding Ning dared to disturb him, he was instantly enraged. "Bastard, get out of here. Can you bear the responsibility for delaying Fellow Daoist Tian Jizi's treatment?"
Ding Ning flew into a rage. "It is you who should get out of here. Are you here to save people or to kill people? If you don't have the ability, don't pretend to be a big shot here. What I hate the most in my life is quacks like you who pretend to know something. "
"Nonsense, you're really nonsense. Young Pavilion Master, why don't you pull him out? Let him do whatever he wants. Isn't this delaying the treatment of Sect Leader Chi Yang?"
Tian Kongzi and his companions were so angry that they blew their beards and glared at Ding Ning. However, they were all fake Holy Martial Artists, so they did not dare to really fight with Ding Ning. They could only blame Jojo and hope that she could pull Ding Ning out.
"I'm messing around? I think you're all muddle-headed. How can you let this bastard do whatever he wants here? Senior Tian Jizi's life is in danger now, and his body is extremely weak. He can't bear the fierce fire of the sun at all. He's trying to kill people. Do you understand? If you don't understand, get out of here so that you don't harm Senior Tian Jizi's life. "
Ding Ning flew into a rage and scolded loudly.
Even a clay figurine had a temper. Tian Kongzi and his companions were so old that they could not tolerate Ding Ning's rude abuse. Their faces instantly turned red, and they rubbed their palms together to release the pressure of Holy Martial Artists, trying to scare Ding Ning away.
Playing with the pressure? What a joke! He could even bear the pressure of a Half-step Immortal Realm expert, let alone the pressure of a mere Holy Martial Artist?
Ding Ning glared at them, took a step forward, and shouted, "Get out of here! If this quack really kills Senior Tian Jizi and hurts Jojo's heart, I will slaughter the entire Pavilion of Heaven Mystery."
"How dare you!"
"Presumptuous!"
"You're too arrogant!"
"How dare you speak so arrogantly! You're courting death!"
…
The seven fake Holy Martial Artists were really irritated, and they went berserk. They did not care about exposing themselves and were about to start a fight.
She hurriedly stepped forward and stood between Ding Ning, Tian Kongzi, and the others. "Martial Granduncle, please calm down. This is my master's ward. You can't fight here. Ding Ning was only speaking rudely because he was worried about my master's safety. Please don't take it seriously and spare him this time." Siqiao panicked. She thought to herself, "Don't be angry, Martial Granduncle. This is my master's ward.
"Humph! An outsider broke in without an invitation. Not only did he slander me, but he also dared to say that he would destroy the entire Pavilion of Heaven Mystery. What is the Pavilion of Heaven Mystery? It's one of the Holy Sects. I really don't know how a disciple of the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe can be so arrogant and domineering. How dare he say that he would destroy the Pavilion of Heaven Mystery? Is this the intention of the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe? "
Chi Yang had an ulterior motive, so he fanned the flames with sarcasm. However, he also subconsciously stopped probing Tian Jizi. Anyway, even if Tian Jizi died now, he could completely blame it on Ding Ning. It was Ding Ning who broke in and disturbed the treatment, so he had to take the blame.
He hoped that Tian Kongzi and his companions could directly kill Ding Ning and become sworn enemies with the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe. In this way, the Holy Medical Family and the Holy-sword Villa could stand on the same front with the Pavilion of Heaven Mystery and fight against the Holy-saber Ancient Tribe together.
