Vol 14 Chapter 23 (1/2)
Book 14, Return to the Grand Xia, Chapter 23 – Celestial Immortal
Ji Ning stared at the black, foggy cave entrance in front of hi This clearly was no ordinary cave Neither his divine sense nor his [Torch-Dragon’s Eye] and other senses were able to discover anything about the cave at all! However…Ning truly wanted to knoho it as trying to kill him!
“The world of the Grand Xia is currently filled with dangerous undercurrents; it’s best to be cautious It’s best if I don’t go into unknown places” The reason why Ning had acted so arrogantly and brashly earlier was because everything was under control…but the depths of this black cave were beyond his understanding
Whoosh
Ning instantly departed froion, but he was still surrounded by layers of formations
Ning casually chose adown in the lotus position atop it, then laughed loudly, “If you have any other abilities, use the to use my Greater Teleportation Dao-seal to leave now”
His voice echoed within the skies, but no one came to attack him
“It isn’t the tihis tribulation in that minor world If the assassins wish to continue to assault o back to that ht as well stay here then!”
……
“Master, he didn’t go in,” the black-robed youngster said
“Because he’s not an idiot,” the silver-ar his head “The Celestial Immortals ent in previously were all overconfident; they felt that their poas h to ensure that they would survive But how could they have known…that the tunnel leads to one of our true headquarters Even True Immortals or Empyrean Gods would at most be able to escape with their lives from that place”
Both the black-robed youth and Big Han nodded They had both been there before; they naturally knew exactly how terrifying that place was As their headquarters…it was naturally far e
“Master, Ji Ning is in our for Han asked
“What’s the point of attacking him?” The silver-armored youth looked towards him
Big Han laughed aardly “There’s no point to us attacking him, but if you were to attack, Master, wouldn’t you be able to easily capture him?”
“Stop flattering me,” the silver-armored youth snickered “I, youris quite h to ensure that all of you weren’t able to do anything to him with your many frenzied attacks Even the Divine Venoh I dislike Bloodcloud Hall, they aren’t weak…and yet even squad Earthnine in their Ba-Serpent Forhtest! I’m not able to kill him”
Big Han just chortled He knew that his master tended to be very low-key…but that his master was in truth enormously powerful More than ten Celestial Immortals had died to his master’s hand!
The silver-ar internally, “This Ji Ning’s background ht-Nine Arcane Art]…then his background ! I wonder whose disciple he is?”
“When divinities battle, mortals suffer Compared to those major powers…people like me are like mortals, while they are divinities”
“Low-key Stay low-key” The silver-ar tis Thus, he knew very well…
That Celestial Iht seem to be very powerful, but in the context of the entire Three Real er zones that could cause Celestial I, who had such a terrifying background…
True, if he killed Ji Ning, any Daofather behind Ji Ning ainst a Celestial Immortal like the silver-armored man After all, for a Celestial I wouldn’t be considered a strong person bullying a much weaker person But there were some madmen in the Three Reale and seek vengeance for any slain disciples!
“Although there are very few such ’s uncle-st them,” the silver-armored youth mumbled to hi; I endured countless dangers before beco a Celestial Immortal I plan to survive this storm Careful Have to be careful; that’selse!”
“Master, then are we going to just let Ji Ning stay in the for Han looked towards the silver-armored youth
“Just keep him trapped within the formation If Bloodcloud Hall wishes to continue their assassination, let them We won’t participate any further,” the silver-armored man said calmly “If he wants to use a Greater Teleportation Dao-seal to leave, there’s nothing we can do about that! As for attacking hi him is a waste of elemental ki”
“Yes,” Big Han assented respectfully
Time passed, one day after the other
The third day after the failure of the assassination attempt Patriarch Arcanuht to that secluded garden once more, and it was still that same silver-robed maiden elcomed him
“How’d it go?” Patriarch Arcanu hi?”
“No” The silver-robed maiden shook her head
“No?!” Patriarch Arcanuiven you the treasures, so you should go and kill him If you weren’t able to kill him in your first wave of attacks, you should send out a second wave In short…you should do what you promised and ensure that you kill hiive a damn But you need to do what you proflame clan has paid the price; you need to hold up to your end of the bargain”
The silver-robed maiden nodded “Your words are correct”
Patriarch Arcanum was startled
“Per our contract, if Bloodcloud Hall is unable to accomplish the mission, then we are to return your treasures to you” The silver-robed ave tois here Bloodcloud Hall lostback”
“You…you…” Patriarch Arcanum couldn’t believe it
A contract was a contract If the assassination couldn’t be carried out, then the treasures would have to be repaid! This was so Bloodcloud Hall prided themselves on…but they rarely actually did this
“Is Ji Ning very hard to kill?” Patriarch Arcanum frowned
“If we truly had to kill him, Bloodcloud Hall could indeed do it” The silver-robed maiden nodded
