Chapter 597 - 263: You Reap What You Sow
Chu Ning flew over a hundred miles in this flying escape.
He wasn’t just blindly rushing. With Ling Xiaobai around, the little guy’s sensitivity to various Spirit Medicines and Spirit Fruits was extremely sharp.
So, along the way, Chu Ning managed to pick several precious Spirit Medicines.
At this time, Chu Ning also more firmly believed some judgments made in previous conversations.
The formation of this Spirit Realm actually seems more like a Small Space transferred from elsewhere.
After all, judging by the quality of these Spirit Medicines, Chu Ning only needed a few glances to determine:
They must have several hundred years of growth period, certainly not something that could be produced in a mere few decades after the Spirit Realm’s formation.
"In that case, there might still be some Great Demons inside here, better focus on the journey.
Avoid conflicts with cultivators and Demon Beasts of too high a level whenever possible."
With this mindset, after casting the Forbidden God Technique, Chu Ning consciously avoided two cultivators.
At the same time, he passed by a Tier Six Demon Beast’s nest without recklessly entering to investigate.
After flying another fifty miles or so, Chu Ning raised his eyebrows upon sensing a cultivator flying towards him.
He immediately activated the Forbidden God Technique to prepare for another avoidance.
But just then, Chu Ning noticed there was another cultivator rapidly approaching from the rear side as well.
From the aura of the two, it was clear they were not of low realm.
Considering this, Chu Ning decisively landed in a small valley below, finding a concealed spot to hide.
Using the Wind Concealment Array function of the magic robe, along with the Forbidden God Technique, he could evade the investigation of these two cultivators.
It wouldn’t be too late to leave after they depart.
"Hmm?"
However, after a moment, Chu Ning was surprised to discover a cultivator had also landed in this valley.
And it was not far from him.
Through the opening of the concealed cave, Chu Ning could even clearly see the newcomer outside.
This person had a middle-aged face, was bone-thin, and faintly exuded Demonic Qi, clearly someone from the Demon Alliance.
He was an unmistakable Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator.
As soon as this person landed in the valley, he began to explore everywhere using Divine Sense.
Chu Ning, possessing the Forbidden God Technique, naturally would not be easily detected by the other.
Just when Chu Ning was puzzled as to why the other had come to this inconspicuous small valley.
The cultivator from another direction also landed in the valley at this moment.
Moreover, he landed right in front of the Demon Alliance cultivator.
What shocked Chu Ning even more was, he recognized this person, it was Ao Langtian from the Daluo Sect.
"The Daluo Sect actually has dealings with the Demon Alliance."
Chu Ning felt slightly alarmed inside and sighed silently.
It seems that the relationships between different alliances on the Western Alliance Continent are indeed complex.
Similar occurrences might happen between any of the alliances.
Upon meeting, the two did not make any sound of conversation, Chu Ning immediately realized they were using Telepathy.
Chu Ning slightly raised an eyebrow; the two assumed their Telepathy would be unheard by anyone.
Indeed, he couldn’t hear, but the little guy Ling Xiaobai could.
"Xiaobai, transfer the content of their telepathic conversation to me."
"Boing!"
Ling Xiaobai’s voice sounded in Chu Ning’s mind.
Then Ling Xiaobai transferred the content of their conversation.
At this moment, it was the thin Demon Alliance cultivator speaking.
"Brother Ao, wasn’t it agreed to avoid meeting each other once inside this Spirit Realm.
We’ll cooperate again when getting the Spirit Seed..."
Just as the thin elder began to speak, Ao Langtian immediately raised his hand, signaling the other to stop speaking.
The next moment, Chu Ning felt Ao Langtian’s familiar Divine Sense sweep over him.
Back when Chu Ning was still in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he could use the Forbidden God Technique to block the other’s Divine Sense.
Of course, he could do so now.
Ao Langtian’s Divine Sense scanned a circle, naturally finding nothing.
The thin elder chuckled at this moment and said:
"Brother Ao, you don’t trust Mr. Zou; I’ve already used Divine Sense to probe this place thoroughly."
Ao Langtian laughed heartily and said: "Brother Zou, you misunderstand, Mr. Ao is just being cautious."
"Heh, if it were caution, Brother Ao shouldn’t have arranged to meet me here."
The thin elder surnamed Zou was quite puzzled.
Ao Langtian’s face lost its smile and was replaced with a trace of gloom.
"I just happened to sense Brother Zou nearby and spontaneously want to ask Brother Zou for a favor."
Before the Zou-named elder could continue speaking, Ao Langtian already spoke again:
"I wish to trouble the dao friend to mobilize your acquaintances in the Demon Alliance. If you encounter a Jiuhua Sect Golden Core Early Stage Cultivator named Chu Ning, help me kill him. I will reward you handsomely."
Upon saying this, Ao Langtian took out an item that was clearly a portrait-like thing.
Meanwhile, upon hearing this through Ling Xiaobai’s transfer, Chu Ning’s heart chilled.
"This Ao Langtian truly hates me to the bone, to the extent of contacting people from the Demon Alliance to kill me."
The Zou-named elder also wondered at this moment:
"Brother Ao, you took the risk to find me just for this matter? I’m curious how this Golden Core Early Stage Cultivator offended you.
That makes you go to such efforts to have him killed."
Ao Langtian’s expression remained grim, but he only said:
"The specifics, Brother Zou doesn’t need to ask.
When there are many people, it won’t be convenient for me to strike. As long as Brother Zou can bring his head, Mr. Ao will surely reward you generously, without breaking my word."
Upon hearing this, the Zou-named elder chuckled.
