The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

  At this point he was forcing his Qi to circulate in his body, and wanted to see if he could see the things around him more clearly. In the next moment, a 1 meter of area around him appeared a bit fuzzy within his consciousness.

  This was the result of using his Spiritual Sense? Ning Cheng had just thought of bringing his Spiritual Sense to the outside, and was already able to see around one meter around him, before it disappeared once again.

  “Are we going in?” An Yi whispered, she suddenly did not want to enter those bloody red walls, she felt that those bloody red walls were a bit strange.

  Ning Cheng waved his hand, and once more forced his Spiritual Sense out of his body, this time he could see an area that was slightly larger than before, his viewing area seemed to have been increased to 1.5 meters. A vague vision of a person appeared within his Spiritual Sense, this figure seemed to be staring at him and An Yi, and seemed to be lifeless.

  Ning Cheng was shocked, he did not think of anything, and sent out a Flame Edge towards it chopping it into two. After he heard a sharp cry, the shadowy figure in front of Ning Cheng disappeared without a trace because of Ning Cheng’s Flame Edge.

  Ning Cheng was relieved, although these forms were unable to be perceived by one’s eyes completely, but once they were perceived by his Spiritual Sense, as long as he could throw out a Flame Edge, it could be resolved. From this, he found that using one’s Spiritual Sense made one much more powerful than just using one’s eye. At this moment Ning Cheng made a firm resolve, when he was cultivating, he must not neglect cultivating and strengthening his Spiritual Sense.

  “What’s going on? Big Brother Ning?” An Yi asked as she did not understand why Ning Cheng threw out a Flame Edge suddenly, but the sharp cry that she had heard was crystal clear.

  Ning Cheng waved his hand again, and cast out his Spiritual Sense once again. This time several shadowy figures appeared within his Spiritual Sense, among a few of those figures Ning Cheng could even feel a breath of life emanating from them. He immediately knew that these few figures and the others were different, it seemed that there were more people in this place that just them. Ning Cheng hurriedly took An Yi and retreated back a few step, hiding in a patch of tall grass behind them.

  When those figures arrived from the curved path in front of the blood red walls of the courtyard in front of the path, Ning Cheng could see them clearly. There were a total of eight people, of these eight people, Ning Cheng even knew four of them. Taoist Pu, Feng Fei Zhang, Tian Fei and Miao Xiu Ming.

  After the eight people arrived from the curved road, they immediately saw the blood red walls, but at the same time they also noticed that the door was ajar.

  “That’s right, this is definitely the aroma of the Golden Cicada Fruit, it really is here, it also seems that this wall was built around it. If I had not sniffed the aroma, I was thinking that we were going in the wrong way.” One of the Qi Gathering 3rd Level cultivator who had just stepped off from the curved path and had narrow slit like eyes, called out in surprise.

  Taoist Pu just said with a sneer, “Xue Sinian, do not blame me for not reminding you. Even if this place was to somehow disappear, it would be a normal thing, we eight people arrived here to break the Array Formation by working together, otherwise you probably would have disappeared a long time ago.”

  “Yes Yes, what Brother Pu said was right, if not for the map for the Array Formation provided by Brother Pu, we would not have been able to come here. Brother Pu’s warning, I have already taken it to heart.” That slit eyed cultivator thought that this Taoist Pu wanted to reaffirm his role in the group, and hurriedly repeated those words many times.

  Taoist Pu also did not bother to remind the guy about his role in breaking the Array Formation, it seems that the Array Flags Identifiers and the Array Formation path were inexplicably missing. Fortunately, now that they have reached the blood red wall in front of them, even if the Flag Identifiers was lost, the problem would not be too great.

  “Brother Xue, I would like to remind you that you not only play a role in this Array Formation, but also remind you that you should not lose your Flame character.” Feng Fei Zhang understood the meaning of Taoist Pu.

  Taoist Pu did not continue to explain, and just said, “After we enter through the blood red walls of the courtyard through the door, do not rush inside, listen to my instructions, each of us eight people will occupy a corner, and we will then proceed to break open the Defensive Array Formation around the Golden Cicada Fruit Tree.”

  “Of Course, we will listen to your instructions of Brother Pu, Brother Pu just say the word.” Miao Xiu Ming immediately echoed out, indicating the he insisted on standing on Taoist Pu’s side.

  Taoist Pu nodded and said, “There are already a lot of people who, by now, have gotten hold of the Lansha Island’s map, but they think that they can only come here on the 15th of every month. What they absolutely do not know, is that the Golden Cicada Fruit matures rapidly by the 10th. Unfortunately, many of them do not have the power to break the Array Formation and thus would fail, even if they knew about it, they would only come here to die. Today is the 9th day, it is exactly the time that suits us to break the Array Formation, and then we can take the Golden Cicada Fruit away.”

  Ning Cheng in his heart was cursing Taoist Pu for being so shameless, as he himself said that they could only arrive on the 15th, but fortunately, he arrived at the Lansha Island first. And moreover this guy even had the Flame mark of the Talisman, but did not disclose it to the other. If not for him, An Yi would have been one of his victims and would have almost disappeared.

  Taoist Pu led the other people to the front of the slightly open door, and pushed it open carefully. The slightly opened door gave out a loud ‘squeak’ sound, it was not exactly loud but it seemed to pierce through and grab at their hearts making them feel uncomfortable.

  Looking at the eight people entering the open door from the side, Ning Cheng dispelled the idea of going in behind them. They had not yet entered the blood red walls, but have already seen so many strange and weird things, once they went inside, would that even be good? It was not that he was afraid of getting into trouble, but because his cultivation was very poor, only at the Qi Gathering 4th Level. The Golden Cicada Fruit was definitely good, but it was also possible that he would have to fight for his life in the present situation, it was not worthwhile to gamble with his life in that manner.

  Ning Cheng did not plan to go, since the Golden Cicada Fruit was in front of him, he was not the kind of person who would be courteous towards such a shameless person. Ning Cheng already vaguely felt that there were some problems with that Taoist Pu, even though the map and the Array Formation Breaking Methods were provided by Taoist Pu, and even proposing to divide the things equally, he believed that this Taoist Pu was not this kind of a classy guy. But now with those eight people inside, he could not think of how Taoist Pu would use the other seven for his own purpose.

  Ning Cheng also did not follow them inside for two reasons, one was he did not know how to get out of that place, and the other was he wanted to kill that Taoist Pu.

  Before in the Beast Carriage, that Taoist Pu used the others to blackmail him into joining his team, if he did not do something about this hatred, then this was not Ning Cheng. Moreover, if Taoist Pu came out from the inside of the blood red walls, then it would also mean that he would have obtained some good stuff.

  ……

  Waiting for the time to pass, on the first day Ning Cheng and An Yi could only hear an intermittent dull thumping sound coming from the inside of the dark red walls. At the start, the interval between the dull thumping sounds was very short, but as the time passed the interval between the dull thumping sounds was getting longer and longer while the sound was getting weaker and weaker.

  The next day, Ning Cheng and An Yi could not hear even half a sound coming from inside, the eight people who entered the blood red walls, it was as if mud falling into the sea, it was completely lifeless witho
ut any sound.

  Ning Cheng did not have to confidence to continue to stay there for longer periods of time, if he continued to stay there, maybe in a few days, many people would start to reach the island. Moreover, he had a strange and vague feeling that this fog seemed to have a pair of eyes staring at him and An Yi which made him very uncomfortable.

  “Big Brother Ning, I am always feeling that someone is calling for me, wanting me to enter the blood red walls. If you did not hold onto me, I am afraid I wouldn’t be able to resist it.” An Yi whispered into Ning Cheng’s ear.

  Ning Cheng was about to speak, when the door in the blood red wall again sent out a ‘squeak’, as Taoist Pu crazily rushed out from the inside. This time that Taoist Pu had dishevelled look on him, what happened to his calm appearance from before?

  Although Taoist Pu looked dishevelled, but the excitement in his eyes was difficult to conceal. As he crazily fled towards Ning Cheng, he simply did not pay any attention to Ning Cheng and An Yi who were hiding in front of him.

  There was a strong and rich Qi coming from the bag he was escaping with, this kind of Qi was too familiar with Ning Cheng, it was the Qi contained in the Spirit Stones. Ning Cheng was already waiting for Taoist Pu for a long time, it was not the first time that he allowed An Yi to follow him immediately.

  At the same time, Ning Cheng could not give up the thought of advancing in his cultivation, he immediately let his Spiritual Sense to wrap around Taoist Pu’s body. Prior to this, Ning Cheng did not really look down on Taoist Pu. But when his Spiritual Sense just glanced past Taoist Pu, his heart immediately tightened.

  This Taoist Pu looked like he was at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level, but in fact he was clearly at the Qi Gathering 7th Level. He did not know where this person came from, that he would even have such a formidable Concealment Technique with him, if it was before, Ning Cheng would not even think that the person in front of him was actually at Qi Gathering 7th Level.

  He was already in the Late Stages of the Qi Gathering 7th Level, this guy really hid it very well.

  Knowing that this Taoist Pu was already at the Qi Gathering 7th Level, Ning Cheng was no longer as calm as before, he was certain that once Taoist Pu heads into the fog, he would not be able to find him. At this point there was no reason for Taoist Pu to notice him, this Taoist Pu was not able to detect his Spiritual Sense, as he did not seem to have any idea that there were people who were waiting specifically for him in his path.

  He could not let this guy escape, thought Ning Cheng as he took out the Flying Sword without any hesitation, suddenly he stepped forward, and with the Flying Sword in his hand he decisively swept out with it.

  This Taoist Pu had been on this path of the Lansha Island for more than a few dozen times already, and he was very clear that although it looks very scary, in fact, as long as one was proficient in Array Formations, he would not be targeted by the evil spirits who were always eying the path. On course, the prerequisite was that they did not enter the blood red walls, and also did not go into the courtyard behind the blood red walls.

  But this Taoist Pu was highly confident in himself, that coupled with his extremely careful nature, in addition to his superior cultivation level, he already surpassed Ning Cheng. When he noticed that the tip of the Flying Sword was already approaching him, he suddenly twisted his body.

  “Puff……” the Sword Light flashed and blood spurted out, that Taoist Pu did not think that he would not be able to evade Ning Cheng’s strike. That Flying Sword of Ning Cheng almost directly cut his waist in half, although that wound was not enough to kill him, but it severely injured him.

  An Yi had been together with Ning Cheng for a long time now, and since Ning Cheng even protected and sheltered her for several days in the sea, she had already become accustomed to how Ning Cheng did things. Almost in the next moment, she also sent out three Wind Edges, simultaneously cutting the string that tied her to Ning Cheng with her skill.

  Taoist Pu had barely escaped the fatal Flying Sword strike from Ning Cheng, when An Yi’s Wind Edges arrived and detonated on him. But these just gave Taoist Pu a few minor injuries, other than the near fatal injury from Ning Cheng, it was still not enough to kill him.

  Taoist Pu staggered for a few steps and stopped, at this time Ning Cheng found out, that he and Taoist Pu had come out from the fog, and onto the curved path. As to which curved that he arrived on, Ning Cheng did not care about it. He guessed that since the Taoist Pu also wanted to escape, so he would definitely choose the path that would lead to the exit.

  “It is you……” Taoist Pu said as he forcefully suppressed his injuries and turned back to see Ning Cheng carrying the Flying Sword in his arms.

  Ning Cheng did not answer, and once again brought up the Flying Sword and swept towards him with it, while simultaneously throwing out several Flame Edges. Striking when the iron was hot, that Taoist Pu was already a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 7th Level, if he let him catch his breath, then both him and An Yi would be in some serious trouble.

  Taoist Pu’s face immediately turned pale, he saw that Ning Cheng did not even say a word when he continued with his attack, he understood that Ning Cheng undoubtedly wanted to kill him, as such idle chatter would not help him. Almost at the same time, he drew out a sickle. And swept away with it towards Ning Cheng’s Flying Sword that had arrived in front of him.

  He was not willing, he clearly understood why Ning Cheng wanted to kill him. Before in the beast carriage, if Ning Cheng had dared to disagree to join his team, so as to not leak the secret information, Ning Cheng would have been killed by his hands.

  He was not willing; he had just advanced to the Qi Gathering 7th Level before coming to the Lansha Island. This time he also had obtained a massive quantity of extremely precious Spirit Stones, to advance to the True Condensation Realm was just an issue of time for him. But at this crucial point, he was actually ambushed by Ning Cheng.

  He did not understand how Ning Cheng could be safe and sound in Lansha Island, there were both Illusionary Array Formations and real evil spirits here, there were even some demonic soul soldiers. Without knowing about the intricacies of the Array Formation around here, even if one was a cultivator in the Essence Building Realm, he would not be able to do as he pleased. He concluded that Ning Cheng definitely knew about the Array Formations around here, otherwise how could he hide here for that many days and even plan an ambush against him here, but wasn’t even discovered by the evil spirits?

  “Weng” a sound was heard, and the Sword Light was scattered, Ning Cheng just took a few steps back, but Ning Cheng did not stay still, and the Flying Sword in his hands once again turned into a long Sword Light.

  “You unexpectedly even have an Artefact ……” This time Taoist Pu realized his mistake, it seemed that in Ning Cheng’s hand was high quality Artefact.

  Although he was injured before, but he did not panic, he had the cultivation of Qi Gathering 7th Level, even if he was injured, he thought that he could use the Artefact in his hands to easily kill and behead Ning Cheng and An Yi. But now that he confirmed that Ning Cheng also was using an Artefact, one which was of even better quality than the Artefact in his hands, that Taoist Pu’s eyes were glinting with a hint of panic. Because he felt that, Ning Cheng’s cultivation did not seem to be that of an ordinary Qi Gathering 4th Level.

  At this time An Yi once more threw out several Wing Edges towards him, Taoist Pu had to avoid An Yi’s Wind Edges, but simultaneously the Sword Light from Ning Cheng once again reached him.

  Taoist Pu wanted to use the sickle Artefact in his hand to block it again, but this time when he really tried to block it, he felt a sharp pain from his waist, he had not completely stopped the bleeding from the previous wound when it started spraying blood again. The speed of his sickle immediately slowed down
a beat, but at this time the Sword Light from Ning Cheng already arrived at his side.

  The Sword Light hit his shoulder from the side, immediately splitting him down to his waist, into two parts, this Taoist Pu was still extremely unwilling to back down even when dying.

  Ning Cheng gasped for breath, and first rushed to pick up the package that Taoist Pu had and threw it into his Storage Bag behind him, and then sent out a fireball to turn Taoist Pu into ash, after doing all this he said to An Yi, “An Yi, we have to run, I estimate that people from the Mingot City must be about to arrive.”

  After the two ran all the way along the curved path, in just less than half an hour, the two once again saw the reef at the seashore. This was not the place were the two had entered the Lansha Island before, but it was actually the other side of the island.

  There was a boat that was not very big on its side, Ning Cheng felt happy in his heart, he knew that this boat definitely belonged to Taoist Pu and his group. There were also a bunch of materials from the sea beasts piled up in a heap on the ship’s bow, these materials must have been left here by Taoist Pu and group to take back. Ning Cheng was not very clear about it, whether Taoist Pu was good or evil, he was a cultivator in the Qi Gathering Realm, why would he pay such attention to materials from ordinary sea beasts?

  Those materials from the sea beasts, Ning Cheng did not discard them, but pushed them the side, and then quickly set sail and left the Lansha Island.

  After the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, with Ning Cheng and An Yi controlling the wooden boat, they had finally left the Lansha Island behind in dust.

  Only until after that did An Yi heaved a sigh and said, “Big Brother Ning, my heart was constantly being suppressed and filled with panic when we were on the island, it always gave me a very bad feeling.”

  Ning Cheng also nodded, “I am the same as you, I always felt that the island was definitely not simple as that. In the future, when our cultivation levels are high enough, we can come again to look at it. An Yi, your pendant should also be a good weapon, you have to carefully take care of it, it should not be found by others.”
