Vol 3 Chapter 12 (1/2)
Book 3, Chapter 12 – Serpentwing Lake
The three black beasts were travelling through the desolate terrain
“Young master” Autumn Leaf couldn’t help but speak out “That son of River He has trerow up, in the future, it willmaster”
Ji Ning cast a sideways glance at Mowu
Autumn Leaf hurriedly said, “It wasn’t Moho said this toabout it for a long time, I felt I had to say this”
Ning let out a sigh “My enmity ith River He I have no ene Why do I have to harm his child as well?”
“But when tribes engage in battles against each other, we generally utterly destroy any re threats…” Autumn Leaf wanted to speak
“I understand” Ning nodded “For the sake of the tribe’s survival…any sort of measures and means can be used! But how can a small child like him possibly affect my Ji clan? My Ji clan controls this area, and has put countless people to death Who kno many people secretly hate our Ji clan? The reason that my Ji clan is able to remain in command isn’t because we didn’t offend people, but rather because we ourselves are powerful!”
Autuun to understand a bit
“Even if we don’t offend others, if we aren’t powerful, others will still co said calht secretly feel resentment, but publicly they will still be very respectful Most likely, a century later, their sons and grandsons will have truly become loyal subjects of our Ji clan”
“In addition, when experts train, the heart andsaid
The mind and the heavens become one! One with the world!
Theof the Dao!
Ning understood that a person as training in the Dao had to be true to himself Only with a clear mind and clear conscience could one i
“If a person is not true to himself, not only will he be frustrated, he will also coround” Ning shook his head “If I, Ji Ning, want to kill someone, I will only kill him and him alone I will not harm his wife and children! This is my true self!”
In his past life, his illness had tormented him and caused him to always be alone Lonely people often would becoht about too h their own heart andwas one of those who had seen through his own heart, which made hih his own heart, how could he have had such resolve to keep training so bitterly in this life?
Autulanced at each other
Be true to themselves?
They didn’t understand!
“Enough” Ning saw the looks on their faces and shook his head “Don’t overthink it Let’s go to Serpentwing Lake”
“Youngto the Blacktooth Tribe? Didn’t you say…that you wanted to help take care of the little brother of Spring Grass?”
Autumn Leaf asked
“No rush” Ning shook his head “I’ll , then head to the Blacktooth Tribe…the original cause of this disastrous affair was still Serpentwing One of Spring Grass’ two little brothers died to Serpentwing as well I will use Serpentwing’s death to co Grass, and then I’ll take her only brother to the West Prefecture City with me”
“Let’s go”
Ning rapped his black beast on its chest slightly, and it instantly began to gallop forward
Autu Lake as well
———————
They travelled by day and rested at night Given the rapid pace at which the black beasts travelled through even mountainous terrain, they still spent three full days before arriving at a place near Serpentwing Lake
“Greetings, young master”
Ten black aruards fell down to one knee
Ning, seated on the black beast, nodded while instructing, “Mowu, Autumn Leaf, the two of you can stay here and rest for a bit Serpentwing Lake is a few kiloo to Serpentwing Lake by myself”
“Yes” Mowu and Autumn Leaf were both very respectful
Ning descended froreat bird, charged into the distance With but two flashi+ng movements, he disappeared frouards, Mowu, and Autuuards had seen Ning displaying his footwork techniques, and they stared in amazement and disbelief
Serpentwing Lake was currently forbidden territory
The Ji clan had arranged for dozens of scattered little squads to be spread around the area, each of which had ten black aruards They were located in different areas around Serpentwing Lake, so as to keep a close watch on Serpentwing
——————–
“Huahuahua…” The hundred-kilo Lake was vast One couldn’t see the other side of the lake Such an enorh waves, even when it wasn’t windy
Ning stood by the shore, staring at Serpentwing Lake In a soft voice, he said, “This lake truly is ih I can control water, if I were to enter its depths…”
The deeper one went, the greater the water pressure would be, and the harder it would be to control water
A hu out 10 of his power, but a water monster would be more powerful than usual
“Right now, although I am powerful, compared to a peak Xiantian Dire said to hi Evasion], and had gained a hint of understanding into the true nature of the Dao After all, just by relying on the four stage of the [Crirahly have power coe FiendGod practitioners
Cohtly lower
Swoosh!+
With a series ofatop the water as though it were land
“Serpentwing!” Ning let out a loud bellow
“Serpentwing!” “Serpentwing!” “Serpentwing!” …
The sound echoed like thunder, spreading everywhere and piercing deep into the depths of the water of the lake
Moments later…
In the depths of the sea, within a twisting, dark lair, the Dire His enor his body
“Serpentwing!” A sound pierced through the water, directly arriving to him
The slu suddenly opened his scarlet eyes
“What’s going on?” Serpentwing let out a lol “Investigate immediately”
