Book 14, Return to the Grand Xia, Chapter 2 – Ji Ning Is Back
“North was startled
“Then what of North hurriedly asked, “Are they doing alright?”
Internicine struggles within ancient clans could be incredibly devastating; generally, the losers would have dire ends
“I know about the relationshi+p between you and Northmont Baiwei,” Ji Truekeep said, “So I kept abreast of this er and his son continue to live within Stillwater City and continue to reside within the Northh their power is not as it was before, they aren’t at risk of dying”
Ning finally let out a sigh of relief Still…he was quite surprised
Based on what he understood, the struggle within the Northmont clan of Stillwater for the position of Marquis would be extree; the loser would be driven out of their estate and perhaps even expelled out from Stillwater City to soht even be sent to a coating it for the clan There, they ht live out the end of their days Unexpectedly, after Northmont Yin had becoer, was still able to reside in Stillwater City
After the ti his questions and felt a bitto make a trip; I should be back in ten days or half a month or so”
“Ji Ning,” Granny Shadow said in her gravelly voice, “The outside world is very chaotic right now You must be careful”
“Chaotic?” Ning was puzzled “Why is it chaotic?”
Truekeep explained, “Our Ji clan is permanently stationed here at S Mountain, and so we don’t know too much about the chaos in the outside world What we do knoever, is that in the past twenty to thirty years, many tribes and clans within Stillwater Commandery have been wiped out! The entire Stillwater Coht now Of course, the annihilated clans and tribes were all fairly weak tribes that had no Immortals…but there were still a nuon Mountain back in its heyday”
“What?!” Ning felt as though so was off In Stillwater Coon Mountain were already fairly strong
Poith I them, by contrast, would be considered truly first-rate
Above thee, the Skysplitter Sword Sect, the Hundred Flowers Fairyland, the Heavenly Saint Church, the Blood God Church, the Dragonhunter clan, the Eastriver clan, and the Bluewood clan
The most supreme powers, of course, were the Northon Guard
“Powers coon Mountain…they all have extremely deep and stable roots; it’s rare for one of them to be wiped out, even in a thousand years How is it that a number of the said
“The Ji clan stays here at S Mountain We’re not too sure,” Truekeep said
Ning frowned
When Ning had left Mount Innerheart, his erous undercurrents within the Three Realht fall Now, upon returning to Stillwater Coinning to turn chaotic…
“A great secret most likely lies behind the chaos in Stillwater Co mused silently to himself “It seems I need to be even more careful than I anticipated If even Master must be extre”
“Granny Shadow Uncle Truekeep” Ning immediately said, “Given the state of chaos Stillwater Commandery is in, your actions are correct It is best for our Ji clan to peacefully re to make a trip I’ll be back in ten days or so Autumn Leaf, no need to follow me; wait here for my return”
“Alright” Autumn Leaf nodded
“Immortal Duohe, Immortal Witchsui…the safety ofsaid
“We are only acting as is proper Fellow Daoist Ji Ning, you rescued all of us froht and proper for us to help out,” Immortal Witchsui said hurriedly
“Thehere at S Mountain as well We shall prosper together or perish together with the Ji clan” Immortal Duohe spoke out warmly as well In the past, for the sake of their clan, they had sworn a thousand year oath…but now that Ning had come back as a Void-level Earth Immortal, as had his two spirit-beasts, their attitudes had changed significantly
In the air a few thousand kilometers outside of Stillwater City A spatial ripple appeared, then a fur-clad youth walked out, a snohite hound by his side
Around Ning’s arm was a little azure snake The snake raised its little head, staring into the distance, then said excitedly, “We’re finally at Stillwater City Hahaha, I, Little Qing, have become a Void-level Earth Immortal I’d be considered an expert even here in Stillwater City now!”
Swoosh!+
Ning rode the wind as he fleards Stillwater City
“I’e” Ning quickly saw the distant Black-White College; when Ning had left, I to te wondered if he was back yet
Whoosh Ning flew directly into the Black-White College
Within the lobes hovering inwatched over by an Immortal cultivator
“Someone flew directly into Stillwater city!” A cultivator quickly noticed the scene that just appeared within one of the watched crystal balls He immediately reported this aloud, and soon had his report verified by someone else
“A fur-clad youth, an Azure Skysnake, a Whitewater Hound”
“This person should be the person who became the champion of the Conclave of Io, then disappeared without a trace – Adept Darknorth, Ji Ning!”
“Intelligence reports regarding Adept Darknorth are classified as top-priority Quick, go report this!”
Soon, this intelligence report was transferred to higher-ups
The Northht watch over its enfeoffed territory In Stillwater City at least, anyone who dared to fly about in the open had to be clearly investigated In fact… whenever there was an especially powerful ripple of eley anywhere in the entire vast coated!
