Chapter 192 - Saving Si Ying
Chapter 192: Saving Si Ying
‘Even though the Phantom Blood Sect hasn’t been established for a long time, their reserves are still a little low…’
Xu Ning felt a little regretful. ‘More than half of the 20,000-odd energy were from pills refined with that non-native technique. This shows that if it weren’t for Feng Changge’s gains in the mystic realm, his own medicinal pills and spirit medicine reserves would be pitifully small…’
However, in addition to these medicinal pills and spirit medicines, Xu Ning also obtained a damaged dao weapon and a complete water attribute dao weapon.
According to Xu Ning’s investigation, the manipulation mark in the water attribute dao weapon had just been erased, so he guessed that the owner of this water attribute dao weapon might be Si Ying.
‘Let’s see where Si Ying is being held…’
Xu Ning wanted to plunder the other elders and deacons of the Phantom Blood Sect, but after seeing Feng Changge’s pitiful reserves, Xu Ning stopped thinking about it.
If he had that kind of time, it was better for him to refine more pills.
The people in the Phantom Blood Sect didn’t even know that Feng Changge had died.
Before Feng Changge entered the stone hall, he had already transferred all the disciples to stand guard far away from the stone hall.
Only some attentive disciples noticed that after Deputy Sect Master Huang Zongshao brought the two alchemists into the stone hall, they did not come out again.
But they did not care about this. In their opinion, Sect Master Feng Changge could even defeat the number one true disciple of the Thousand Flood Sect, so he would definitely not encounter any danger.
At this moment.
Inside a special prison cell.
Si Ying, Jiang Yiyi, and Jiang Lulu’s meridians were completely sealed by Feng Changge, and they were also wrapped in metal chains.
“Yiyi, Lulu, I was too reckless and arrogant. I’ve harmed you.”
Si Ying had a guilty look on her face.
Prior to this, she was confident that after advancing to the true domain realm and holding a dao weapon, it would not be difficult for her to destroy the Phantom Blood Sect, whose strongest practitioner was an ordinary true domain realm martial artist.
After all, a true domain realm martial artist in possession of a dao weapon was almost undefeatable, except when they met a half-step dao realm master.
And Si Ying never expected that Feng Changge would receive a mystic realm’s inheritance and advance to a half-step dao realm master, not to mention that he also had a damaged dao weapon.
With Feng Changge’s vicious demonic martial arts experience, he easily defeated Si Ying.
“Senior Sister Si, don’t feel guilty.”
Jiang Yiyi and Jiang Lulu also comforted Si Ying.
Ever since they entered the Thousand Flood Sect, they had always regarded Si Ying as their role model, and they listened to her without any complaints.
The more Jiang Yiyi and Jiang Lulu acted like this, the more guilty Si Ying felt.
Now that they were so far away from the sect, no one knew that they were imprisoned. In such circumstances, it was too difficult to escape.
However, just when Si Ying, Jiang Yiyi and Jiang Lulu no longer had any hope of successfully escaping, they suddenly heard a scream outside the prison.
‘That seems to be the prison guard…’
Si Ying noticed this.
Afterwards, Si Ying saw a young man in a martial arts outfit walking in.
It was Xu Ning who had come searching for them.
Swoosh!
Seeing them, Xu Ning used his true qi to break open the cage and walked in.
“You are?”
Si Ying was taken aback. She then realized that this person might be their rescuer.
However, she didn’t recognize this person.
“I’m Xu Ning.”
Xu Ning slashed at the metal chain on Si Ying’s body with his true qi.
However, the metal chain only broke slightly from the blow.
Seeing this, Xu Ning mixed his true qi with the Water Cross Sword and the Bright Fire Sword.
Soon, Xu Ning completely shattered the chains on the three of them.
“The Water Cross Sword and the Bright Fire Sword?”
Si Ying recognized Xu Ning’s moves even when he only used his sword qi.
“What is your relationship with He Mingye? Why are you here?”
Si Ying hurriedly asked while Jiang Yiyi and Jiang Lulu looked at Xu Ning curiously.
“Oh?”
Xu Ning didn’t expect Si Ying to recognize the Water Cross Sword and the Bright Fire Sword.
It seemed that Si Ying and He Mingye were old friends.
“That’s right, I am Xu Ning, a disciple of the Yuelan Sect. He Mingye is my senior brother. We have the same master.”
Xu Ning answered truthfully, “I was able to find this place because I figured out the base of the Phantom Blood Sect and came to do some errands.”
“Sect Master Mi recruited disciples again?”
Xu Ning had only been in the sect for more than a year, and he was relatively low-key. He did not have a resounding reputation.
Thus, it was normal for Si Ying and the others to not recognize him.
“I am Si Ying from the Thousand Flood Sect. They are Jiang Yiyi and Jiang Lulu from the Thousand Flood Sect.”
Si Ying said, “Thank you Junior Brother Xu Ning for rescuing us.”
Although Xu Ning’s appearance here was a coincidence, they were sincerely grateful to Xu Ning.
If it weren’t for Xu Ning’s appearance, the three of them wouldn’t have known what would happen next.
After the metal chain was broken, Si Ying, Jiang Yiyi, and Jiang Lulu began to clear their meridians.
Without the shackles of the special metal chain, they could easily clear the blockage in their meridians.
“Senior Brother Xu Ning, how did you know we are here?”
Jiang Yiyi asked Xu Ning.
“I heard that a few days ago, a disciple of the Thousand Flood Sect was captured and imprisoned here, so I came here to take a look.”
Xu Ning responded.
Xu Ning did not elaborate on the reason and purpose of his visit, so Si Ying and the other two did not probe.
“We are currently in a dangerous situation, so we should leave this place quickly. If we are discovered by Feng Changge, the consequences will be disastrous.”
Si Ying still didn’t know that Feng Changge was dead.
She just wanted to leave this place quickly and return to the sect to find reinforcements to destroy the Phantom Blood Sect and take back her dao weapon.
“No need to hurry.”
Xu Ning waved his hand. “Feng Changge is dead.”
“What?!”
Si Ying, Jiang Yiyi, and Jiang Lulu were shocked.
They knew how strong Feng Changge was.
Only a short time has passed and now, he was dead.
Si Ying stared at Xu Ning’s calm face. She seemed to realize something and made a bold guess. “Junior Brother Xu, did you kill Feng Changge?”
However, as soon as Si Ying said this, she felt that it was ridiculous.
Xu Ning no longer concealed his aura so she could sense Xu Ning’s strength. He was only in the void realm eighth stage, so how could he kill Feng Changge, a half-step dao realm master?
“No.”
As soon as Xu Ning’s words made Si Ying feel relieved, she was shocked again. “He cultivates a demonic technique, so he has periods when he becomes weak. I just took the opportunity to set up a trap and finish him off.”
Xu Ning’s words were half true and half false. He did not reveal the details to Si Ying.
“This…”
Si Ying was shocked and speechless.
She thought that she was the number one true disciple in State Jifeng, but reality told her that she was no match for Junior Brother Xu.
“I am an alchemist, so I have some special methods.”
Xu Ning explained again.
‘And also an alchemist…’
Si Ying found this hard to imagine.
Xu Ning was obviously much younger than her and almost as old as Jiang Yiyi and Jiang Lulu.
Reaching the true intent realm at this age was already quite difficult, and on top of that he was also an alchemist.
Jiang Yiyi and Jiang Lulu looked at Xu Ning, their eyes shining.
“By the way, Senior Sister Si…”
Xu Ning took out Si Ying’s water attribute dao sword. “Is this your dao weapon?”
“Yes!”
Si Ying quickly responded.
“In this case, I shall return it to its owner.”
Xu Ning returned the longsword to Si Ying.
Although a dao weapon was valuable, for Xu Ning, the actual increase to his strength was limited. Plus, he already had a dao weapon with all attributes.
Si Ying took it, her face full of joy.
This dao weapon was just given to her by her master, so it held an extraordinary significance to her.
“Junior Brother Xu Ning, thank you so much.”
Si Ying thanked him again.
She wanted to give Xu Ning some compensation, but after thinking about it, she didn’t say anything.
There was nothing on her that was as valuable as this water attribute dao weapon.
“Since everyone is safe, I am relieved. Let’s part ways here.”
Now that he had saved them and returned the dao weapon, Xu Ning wanted to quickly go to State Chungu and explore the mystic realm.
Xu Ning already knew most of the secrets of the mystic realm, so he was only waiting to enter and obtain the treasures there.
Xu Ning was almost certain that as long as he walked out of the mystic realm, he would definitely be a true domain realm martial artist, or even a half-step dao realm master.
Jiang Yiyi and Jiang Lulu looked disappointed when Xu Ning did not even hesitate to leave.
They wanted to talk to Xu Ning again and get to know him better.
“Junior Brother Xu Ning, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely visit you personally at the Yuelan Sect.”
Si Ying noticed that Xu Ning had something to do.
“Okay, I will definitely welcome you.”
The three of them walked out of the underground prison and parted ways.
Si Ying and the other two watched Xu Ning leave.
“That Senior Brother Xu Ning is amazing. Maybe he is even stronger than He Mingye.”
Jiang Yiyi’s tone was full of respect. “In the future, he will definitely surpass He Mingye and become the number one true disciple of the Yuelan Sect.”
“That person is indeed powerful…”
Si Ying had never felt such respect for a disciple of the same generation.
In her opinion, Xu Ning not only had outstanding martial arts aptitude, but he also had the ability to refine pills. If he could lay a trap for Feng Changge, it meant that his alchemy skills must be extremely high.
Moreover, after obtaining the dao weapon, he did not take it for himself. Instead, he returned it to its owner. Therefore, his morals were also good.
“Senior Sister Si, are we returning to the sect?”
Si Ying was still looking at the place where Xu Ning left when Jiang Lulu asked.
Hearing the question, Si Ying came back to her senses. She glanced at the Phantom Blood Sect’s disciples who had just been killed by Xu Ning.
“No.”
Si Ying said, “Now that Feng Changge is dead, no one in the Phantom Blood Sect can compete with us. Next, I will personally destroy the Phantom Blood Sect and rescue the innocent people from the Phantom Blood Sect.”
Over the next few days, after Si Ying destroyed the headquarters of the Phantom Blood Sect, she destroyed all their branches one by one.
With this accomplishment, Si Ying’s reputation soared.
In State Jifeng, all martial arts sects praised Si Ying.
However, Si Ying ignored these praises.
According to Si Ying, the person who killed Feng Changge was not her, but a Yuelan Sect disciple.
And the name of the Yuelan Sect disciple was Xu Ning.
