Chapter 734 - 308: Refining with Essence Fire, the Golden Spirit Sword is Forged
"Who is engaging in magical combat within the Immortal City?"
At that moment, a voice came from afar.
In the next instant, a team of cultivators quickly flew towards this direction.
The group consisted of six, led by a middle-aged Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator.
Upon arriving at the scene, he merely glanced around briefly before descending.
He bowed and cupped his fists towards Chu Ning:
"So it’s a Golden Core senior here, greetings, senior!"
After the greeting, the Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator’s face showed a look of difficulty.
"In the Ice Island Immortal City, magical combat is not allowed, could it be that the one who casted spells just now was you, senior?"
Hearing this, Chu Ning lightly raised an eyebrow.
"It was indeed me! This person was bullying the weak; I asked this fellow Daoist to help sell some items here, yet he tried to seize them by force.
It’s not excessive for me to discipline him, right?"
"This..." The middle-aged cultivator hesitated for a moment, but continued:
"Senior, this matter could have been reported to the Law Enforcement Team by this Daoist.
No magical combat is allowed in the city; it’s a rule set by the three Hall Masters.
Moreover, senior killed someone directly in the city.
Sorry, we need to invite a Golden Core senior within the hall to handle this matter."
Saying this, the man casually sent out a signal.
However, Chu Ning seemed completely unconcerned and said to Xi Wenxia:
"Pack up, come with me to Frost Moon Pavilion."
After Xi Wenxia gathered her things, Chu Ning was ready to leave.
Seeing this, the middle-aged cultivator immediately spoke:
"Senior, the Golden Core senior in the hall is arriving soon, please wait a moment."
Hearing this, Chu Ning, despite his usually good temper, felt a tinge of anger rising.
He stared intensely at the middle-aged cultivator and said coldly:
"Are you trying to stop me?"
The middle-aged cultivator felt a tightness all over his body at this moment, but still gritted his teeth and said:
"It’s my duty, please forgive me, senior!"
As Chu Ning heard this, he cast a mild glance at the other, slowly raising his palm.
At that instant, from a distance, an Escape Light rapidly approached.
It seemed to have sensed the matter with Divine Sense, and a voice came from afar.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, please do not be angry."
Accompanied by the voice, this person quickly arrived and landed in front of Chu Ning.
It was a slightly dark-skinned, medium-built, Golden Core Late Stage cultivator.
This person clearly recognized Chu Ning, and upon landing, immediately cupped his fists:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, don’t be angry! I am Pang Jabin of Changkong Hall, let me first understand the situation."
As he spoke, Pang Jabin turned to ask the middle-aged cultivator:
"What happened?"
"Reporting to the steward, this senior claims a Foundation Establishment cultivator wanted to seize what he entrusted this Daoist to sell.
Thus, he killed the person."
Upon hearing these words from the middle-aged cultivator, Pang Jabin immediately turned to Chu Ning:
"Fellow Daoist Chu turned the tide in Snow Mist Valley, helping fellow Daoists escape.
This person had the audacity in the city to covet fellow Daoist’s belongings, deserved to be killed!
Please proceed, fellow Daoist!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Ning nodded slightly and left with Xi Wenxia.
The middle-aged cultivator showed a different expression at this moment, yet did not speak.
Not until Chu Ning walked far did he look somewhat puzzled at Pang Jabin.
"Steward, this is...?"
In the Ice Island Immortal City, a Golden Core cultivator naturally has some privileges.
Previously, it wasn’t unheard of for Golden Core cultivators to make a move in the city, but in any case, having a justified reason was foremost.
Moreover, they had to make peace with the Changkong Hall’s Law Enforcement Team, promising not to offend again.
This ensured the peace of the many low-tier cultivators, or else, if Golden Core cultivators could kill indiscriminately,
the low-tier cultivators in the city would naturally be in a state of panic.
Yet now, Pang Jabin let Chu Ning leave without saying an extra word, which was indeed a bit surprising to him.
Pang Jabin’s gaze swept over the many low-tier cultivators watching as he slowly said:
"In the recent upheaval in Snow Mist Valley, numerous demon beasts attacked human cultivators and blocked the valley entrance.
Fellow Daoist Chu, at the valley exit, singlehandedly killed over ten Tier Six demon beasts despite serious injuries, helping the cultivators safely leave the Snow Mist Valley.
The Changkong Hall and the many forces and cultivators in Northern Cold Land are deeply grateful.
This person, for speaking so arrogantly here and even trying to steal from Fellow Daoist Chu, truly deserved death!"
Upon hearing Pang Jabin’s words, the crowd present was immediately abuzz.
The team of the Law Enforcement Team led by the middle-aged cultivator also changed their expression.
To singlehandedly kill over ten Tier Six demon beasts, all factions are indebted.
If Chu Ning had truly made any moves earlier, the outcome for them...
With Pang Jabin’s words, Chu Ning’s reputation spread widely throughout the Ice Island Immortal City.
By this time, Chu Ning had already taken Xi Wenxia to Frost Moon Pavilion.
Inside Frost Moon Pavilion, Tang Jinchuan was still there.
Seeing Chu Ning arrive, he introduced another Golden Core Late Stage cultivator.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, as Fellow Daoist Wu is still recuperating, Fellow Daoist Lu is temporarily in charge."
Upon Tang Jinchuan finishing, a smiling middle-aged female cultivator beside him bowed to Chu Ning.
"I am Lu Liqin, and I’ve long heard of Fellow Daoist Chu’s great name."
Chu Ning looked over this female cultivator, who appeared slightly younger than Wu Lingwei.
He returned the courtesy with cupped fists and then handed over a Storage Bag and a Jade Scroll to her directly.
"During my venture in Snow Mist Valley, I was fortunate to kill some demon beasts and also obtained some Spirit Medicine Materials.
Everything is here, and I wish to exchange with the pavilion for some Spirit Medicine, Demon Cores, and Artifact Refining Materials.
The specific types and quantities are all recorded within."
Lu Liqin received the Storage Bag, and upon sweeping inside with her Spiritual Sense, a flash of surprise appeared on her face.
