Chapter 771: Uninvited Guest
It was early September, and the autumn of the Tianmu School was earlier than that of other regions. The courtyard was full of golden osmanthus flowers, which blew into the west wing with the cool night breeze.
Xiao Cheng and Ning Qianxi sat opposite each other, drinking tea while chatting about some anecdotes and interesting stories in the world of cultivation, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.
It was not the first day that Xiao Cheng met Ning Qianxi. He knew Ning Qianxi very well, so of course there would be no gap. Ning Qianxi was very familiar with the feeling that Xiao Cheng gave her, so she unknowingly let go of her guard. Moreover, Xiao Cheng's words were very funny, which made her feel very relaxed.
"I heard that Tuoba Xueyue also entered the world to practice more than a month ago, and no news about her has been heard. Now the world of cultivation is becoming more and more chaotic. Tuoba Xueyue is said to be a very crazy woman!" Xiao Cheng frowned.
Tuoba Xueyue is the most famous strong man in the evil path. He is the master of the Blood Lotus Sect and is a contemporary saint of the Blood Lotus Sect. He has reached the peak of the Golden Pill five years ago, only one step away from the realm of the Nascent Soul.
After five years of accumulation and practice, her strength is completely unmeasurable by cultivation, and she is definitely several times higher than that of ordinary peak Jindan powerhouses.
Tuoba Xueyue, Yan Taiqing, Si Yixiu, and Jing Zuhai are known as the four peak powerhouses in the contemporary world of cultivation. Its strength is said to be no less than Yan Taiqing and others.
Moreover, Tuoba Xueyue has a very high prestige in the entire evil Taoist younger generation, somewhat similar to Ning Qianxi's reputation in the righteous Taoist camp, and can be said to be a person who responds to it.
Tuoba Xueyue's entry into the world to practice will inevitably bring considerable impact on the struggle between the two camps of righteousness and evil paths, and may even change the pattern of equality.
"Well, I have received this news, and Tuoba Xueyue threatened to fight me!" Ning Qianxi said softly.
Xiao Cheng frowned. Tuoba Xueyue became famous early, and she was actually a few years older than Ning Qianxi. Ning Qianxi only broke through to the peak of the Golden Pill in the past one or two months. If it was really fair, it was hard to say who would win and who would lose. Even if it wins, it would definitely be a tragic victory.
"Are you sure?" Xiao Cheng asked.
"I can't tell you, my strength is hard to measure!" Ning Qianxi shook her head slightly and smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, you must be careful. Now you have become a thorn in the eyes of the younger generation of evil Taoism. I guess there are no fewer people who want to deal with you than me."
Xiao Cheng nodded. During the day, he heard a lot of rumors about the evil camp threatening to kill him. The ten little kings of the evil camp bluntly said that they wanted to kill him quickly.
He didn't care much about these provocations. Anyway, he would fight whenever he wanted to fight, and he would leave whenever he wanted. He didn't need to be afraid of one or two. Ten people would go together, and at most he would pat his butt and leave.
For example, in the extreme today, outstanding disciples from major sects have jumped out, and the conflicts between various sects and camps have become more intensified. No one can survive here, and so is he.
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Xiao, the competition for the world's strong men will be held next month. I wonder if you will participate?" Ning Qianxi's eyes moved and she looked up at Xiao Cheng.
"I will definitely participate. I also want to go to Kunlun Nei Ruins!" Xiao Cheng nodded, but he was a little puzzled. Why did Ning Qianxi suddenly ask this question?
"The World's Strongest Race is held every few years. This year, it is a bit special, and even invited Western cultivators. It is said that the Western Holy See has brought three dragon knights. This time the Race is not as simple as before.
Moreover, Western cultivators have always made their cultivation faster than those in the East. Most of them have reached the fourth level of heaven, which is much stronger than the younger generation of our East.
At present, no one of the younger generation has broken through to the realm of the Nascent Soul. I am afraid it is not the opponent of Western cultivators." Ning Qianxi said softly, with a look of worry in her apricot eyes.
As an Eastern cultivator, she is certainly very resistant to the practice of Jiudi, and she is also worried that Western powers will bring huge losses to the Eastern cultivator world.
Xiao Cheng had known this news long ago. Since he had planned to participate in the competition, he would do his best. Naturally, he did not want to be suppressed by Western cultivators, so he had already made plans and wanted to break through to the Nascent Soul realm before the competition.
The only thing that bothers him now is the sword art. As long as he reaches the realm of sword intent and condenses the sword fetus, he can break through to the realm of Nascent Soul at any time, but the sword art is too unpredictable and cannot be controlled by his will.
"Don't worry too much about these things, anyway, the generals come to block the water and the earth!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile.
While the two of them were talking, they heard a slight and brisk sound of footsteps coming from the courtyard, and the footsteps came from far to near, towards the wing room.
Oops… A series of crisp knocks sounded, and a soft female voice came from outside the door: “Is Fairy Ning here? Is it convenient now?”
As soon as Xiao Cheng heard the voice, he knew that the person was Murong Yunyan. Ning Qianxi looked at Xiao Cheng with a slight slight look, feeling a little uncomfortable. At night, she and Xiao Cheng lived in the same room with a man and a woman. It was a bit bad after all.
But at this time, she couldn't let Xiao Cheng hide and said hesitantly: "Please come in!"
With a creaking sound, Murong Yunyan, wearing a black skirt, pushed open the wooden door, and Yan Taiqing stood side by side with Murong Yunyan. The two were stunned when they saw Ning Qianxi and Xiao Cheng sitting at the table.
They never expected Xiao Cheng to appear here. At night, the two of them lived in the same room and had no outsiders. Is there anything wrong with it?
Yan Taiqing frowned, a trace of splendor flashed in his eyes, and a sudden aura rose in his heart, as if something precious had been forcibly taken away by someone.
"I have seen the uncle of the junior master! I have seen Fairy Ning, but I didn't expect that the uncle of the junior master is also here. I planned to go to the side palace to find the uncle, but now it seems that there is no need to look for it anymore!
I visited late at night, and I hope I won’t disturb my two’s interest!" Murong Yunyan bowed to Xiao Cheng and Ning Qianxi and smiled.
Murong Yunyan had something in his words, obviously beating indirectly whether there was any hidden truth between Xiao Cheng and Ning Qianxi.
Ning Qianxi couldn't help feeling embarrassed when she heard Murong Yunyan's words, and smiled faintly: "Fairy Murong is so serious. When I visited Pengxiang Shenghui late at night, I was not healed by my injury half a year ago, so I asked fellow Taoist Xiao to come and have a look."
"Fairy Murong, you seem to be looking for me in your tone? Is there something wrong?" Xiao Cheng didn't care about Murong Yunyan's indirect attacks, and there was no need to clarify anything, so he asked directly.
Yan Taiqing felt relieved when he heard Ning Qianxi's explanation. It seemed that it was not what he thought, and Ning Qianxi was not that kind of person, he thought too much.
Murong Yunyan looked at Xiao Cheng and Ning Qianxi suspiciously, and immediately explained his purpose.
"This is the thing. There are many young strong people who came to participate in the Ascension Ceremony of My Sect. So I organized a righteous alliance to discuss how to deal with evil Tao in the future. I hope that uncle and fairy Ning can also participate!"
