Su Zhu naturally pulled on Ning Cheng’s hand, and walked a few steps, and when she was almost at the front gate she said, “Do you know? Senior Sister Apprentice Lu Xue asked me to help her purchase some Pills from the Feiyan Pill Pavilion. I am telling this to you, but oh my god, Senior Apprentice Sister Lu Xue will certainly go to the Hua Continent, maybe with her ability she may really be chosen to enter the 5 Star Academy. As long as Senior Apprentice Sister Lu Xue was selected for the 5 Star Academy, so when she comes back in the future, she would really never forget me.”
Ning Cheng listened while being somewhat bewildered, he certainly knew that Lu Xue did not send Su Zhu to buy pills for her. Lu Xue simply loathed Su Zhu’s attitude and always treated her with disgust, why would she send Su Zhu to buy pills for her?
At this time the two people had already come to the front door, Su Zhu did not even wait for the guard to speak, and actively greeted him with a brilliant and charming smile, “Brother Han, there are a lot of people today, it must be very hard on you. Right, I am going out for a small matter.”
The gate guard had seen Su Zhu before, he did not think that Su Zhu would even know that he was surnamed Han, and quickly replied, “It is not that hard, you take care of yourself.”
The Guard talked in a sort of neutral tone, as Su Zhu pulled Ning Cheng out the front door of the Clear Heart Academy.
Su Zhu’s footsteps immediately quickened, as she quickly brought Ning Cheng and passed through to the Ming Pu Plaza.
Ning Cheng understood that Su Zhu wanted to help him, as he was brought out of the Clear Heart Academy. Although Ning Cheng did not know how Su Zhu knew that he had to leave the Clear Heart Academy, but in his heart he was still very grateful towards her, and even said in a somewhat sheepish voice, “Senior Apprentice Sister, I am actually not from the Clear Heart Academy………”
She did not wait for Ning Cheng to finish what he was saying, when Su Zhu interrupted Ning Cheng’s words saying, “Do not talk about it, it would be better if you left quickly, I heard Yong Gu Yun saying that she was going to inform Elder Lan.”
Ning Cheng did not explain anymore, he cupped his fists to her and bowed saying, “Many thanks Senior Apprentice Sister Su, if Senior Apprentice Sister Su needs anything that she wants to ease her cultivation then just ask, although it may not be possible for me to be able to help you advance to the True Condensation Realm, but still please accept this as a thank you to the Senior Apprentice Sister, I’ll go first.”
With that, Ning Cheng stuffed a small package into the hands of Su Zhu, and turned around to quickly disappeared from her sight.
As Su Zhu watched Ning Cheng’s disappearing back, her face suddenly looked very desolate and lonely. How could she not know the meaning of what Ning Cheng said to her, cultivate with ease? She suddenly remembered the time when she had come to the Clear Heart Academy. She had been deceived by that person, and went to bed with some other people, and then just like a jar that broke when it fell, as a result there were more and more people who looked down upon her.
For her, she still had a year’s time, within one year if she could not advance to the Qi Gathering 7th Level, she would no longer be a student of the Clear Heart Academy.
Su Zhu suddenly felt empty as she felt something break inside her, even she did not know why she wanted to help Ning Cheng. Perhaps it was because Ning Cheng spoke those few comforting words to her.
She looked at the small package in her hands, suddenly she felt a faint but rich Spiritual Qi coming out of the package. Su Zhu’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly opened the package to have a look. When she saw what was wrapped inside it, she was immediately stunned speechless, in the package there were actually a dozen Low Grade Spirit Stones.
……
“Elder Lan, I just saw Ning Cheng a moment ago, he seemed quite comfortable in the Clear Heart Academy, I estimate that he is looking for An Yi.” After Yong Gu Yun arrived to the Academy’s Plaza, she found some time to spare, and hurried to deliver the message about of Ning Cheng to Lan Yin Yue.
“What?” Lan Yin Yue asked in a surprised voice.
She had personally forced Ning Cheng to jump off the airship, how could he appear in the Clear Heart Academy? He was just a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 4th Level who jumped off from a high altitude airship moving at an extremely high speed, how was it possible that he survive that?
“Did you not see wrong?” Lan Yin Yue asked in a calm tone, this kind of thing was simply impossible, how could a dead person come back to life?
“I did not see wrong, even Junior Apprentice Sister Lu Xue saw him, and he even made it clear that he had come here to search for Junior Apprentice Sister An Yi. This person even recognised Yue Ying, if not for Yue Ying joining the Clear Heart Academy early, perhaps she would also have been cheated by him. I have arranged for Junior Apprentice Sister Lu Xue to try and find where he is now.” Yong Gu Yun replied quietly from the side.
Killing Intent flashed across Lan Yin Yue’s eyes, but she forcibly restrained her Killing Intent.
“Elder Lan, just now Su Zhu had already carried Ning Cheng out of the Clear Heart Academy. Do you want me to bring Su Zhu here?” said Lu Xue as she rushed over, she was watching over Ning Cheng on Yong Gu Yun’s order, she actually did not think that Su Zhu would help Ning Cheng in bringing him out of the Clear Heart Academy.
The Killing Intent emanating from Lan Yin Yue immediately grew even more fierce, after recovering a little while later she slowly said, “Inform Xue Cong, let him temporarily pass the order to kill him to Miao Li Hu from the Mingot City. In the meantime, since Ning Cheng appeared in Nan Yuan City, the news of Ning Cheng would soon reach Miao Li Hu anyway. After Miao Li Hu kills off Ning Cheng, as long as Xue Cong kills Miao Li Hu it will all be ok.”
“I understand.” Yong Gu Yun swept a glance at An Yi, and quickly walked away. She knew why the Elder Lan took such a move.
An Yi was too dependent on Ning Cheng and remembered him fondly, if one day in the future An Yi learned that it was Elder Lan who killed Ning Cheng, she and Elder Yan would definitely turn into enemies. Before Elder Lan did not know how much An Yi depended on Ning Cheng, now that she knew about it, this made her decide on the idea to plan his murder with a borrowed knife.
With Miao Li Hu killing Ning Cheng, and then Xue Cong killing Miao Li Hu. The result would definitely be, An Yi appreciating Xue Cang’s help in taking her revenge.

Ning Cheng ran out of Nan Yuan City with his maximum speed, after leaving the Nan Yuan City, Ning Cheng finally felt a bit relaxed.
To be honest, he was not really afraid of Lan Yin Yue. Although Lan Yin Yue was already at True Condensation 8th Level, as Ning Cheng already knew from the mouth of Fang Jiyan. Because the resources and the Spiritual Qi in the Ping Continent were scarce, thus the Cultivation Methods in the Ping Continents have their own limitations and were actually not complete since the time they were created, and even their Spiritual Sense was a lot weaker. In other words, even though Lan Yin Yue was a cultivator at the True Condensation 8th Level, in fact her true cultivation level was much below that of the genuine True Condensation 8th Level.
What Ning Cheng feared was the Essence Building Realm Cultivator of the Clear Heart Academy, once that cultivator in the Essence Building Realm stepped into the Nan Yuan City, then he really wouldn’t be able to walk away.
According to Ning Cheng’s idea, as long as he left the Nan Yuan City, it would be tantamount to being safe. He would then try to find a secluded place, and then use his Flying Sword to fly back to the Daan Forest. Then passing through the Daan Forest, he would try to enter the Yuan Continent.
But just as Ning Cheng left the Nan Yuan City, he felt that he someone was following him.
Ning Cheng immediately sped up, although he was not much worried in his heart. If he real
ly was being targeted by a cultivator in the Essence Building Realm, he wouldn’t be able walk away. But if it was a cultivator at the True Condensation Realm who was following him, he simply would not need to fear him.
In Ning Cheng’s opinion, a cultivator at the Essence Building Realm would never be bored enough to stalk a cultivator in the Qi Gathering Realm, in this place like the Nan Yuan City, the possibility for such a thing to happen was basically zero.
An hour later, the person who was following Ning Cheng suddenly accelerated. At this time Ning Cheng could clearly see who was trying to follow him, it was Miao Li Hu from the Mingot City’s Wolf Palace. He knew that Miao Li Hu hated Ning Cheng to the bone, but he did not think that he would be so persistent, and even chase him till Nan Yuan City. Fortunately, An Yi was regarded highly by the Clear Heart Academy, otherwise it would really be dangerous for An Yi.
Half a year ago, he could not clearly see the cultivation level of Miao Li Hu, but now he could clearly see that Miao Li Hu had the cultivation of True Condensation 4th Level. For a cultivator at the True Condensation Realm who was unable to step on a Flying Sword to fly, this made Ning Cheng to not be wary Miao Li Hu.
For him, Miao Li Hu just came at the right time, he really wanted to try out the power of the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle.
“Little bastard, even if you run away again, this father will definitely burn you and let your ashes be buried along with my dead son.” Miao Li Hu said after seeing that Ning Cheng had actually stopped, immediately letting out a thunderous roar before stopping in front of Ning Chen, in his opinion, Ning Cheng should have already been petrified by his presence.
Ning Cheng unhurriedly said, “Miao Li Hu, you may be able flaunt your swagger in Mingot City, but in this place, you do not have the qualification to be arrogant. Here’s what I don’t understand, how did you know that I just got out of the city? Someone delivered a message to you, right?”
When Miao Li Hu saw that Ning Cheng was actually not petrified, but was actually speaking quite calmly and in a leisure manner, he was immediately shocked. But then he responded immediately, and spoke in a fierce voice, “Die for me……”
While speaking, his hands turned a scarlet colour as he moved it towards Ning Cheng, he really hated Ning Cheng to the bone, so he really did not want to wait for even a single moment.
“Buzz……” his scarlet coloured hand flew across the air, and was giving off an extremely miserable humming sounds, which completely sealed the entire space around Ning Cheng.
Originally the environment around him was clear as the blue sky above him, but under the influence of the scarlet blood coloured light from the hands of Miao Li Hu, it immediately descended into a dark and gloomy atmosphere. Just like countless hungry ghosts, a bloody mist pounced onto Ning Cheng.
Under this bloody mist, Ning Cheng became somewhat absent minded, he obviously knew that he should move out of the way quickly, but his body was completely shrouded by a bloody mist which covered him from head to toe, it even made him feel a bit dazed.
The Mysterious Yellow Bead immediately let out its Mysterious Yellow Qi, which covered the entire surface of Ning Cheng’s body with a pale yellow light, Ning Cheng suddenly became alert, and without any hesitation madly started circulating his Qi, taking out his Flying Sword he immediately sent out a Sword Light form it.
This Sword Light under the agitation of Ning Cheng’s Qi, immediately split the scarlet fog to create a gap in front of him. Ning Cheng at once rushed out through the gap. Even if it was like that, a bloody light blasted towards Ning Cheng’s chest.
“Bang……” Ning Cheng had just left the scarlet fog, when a fierce explosion sound came from the place where he was just standing at.
Ning Cheng was shocked to discover, that the place where he was just a moment ago blew up to form a huge pit, and this pit was also dark red in colour, it was as if blood had spilled on that ground since a long time. He subconsciously lowered his head for a moment, and saw that the clothes on his chest had a long gash, which revealed the inner dragon hide armour that was given by the old woman.
There was a lingering fear in Ning Cheng’s heart now, if he had not been wearing the inner armour, then that scarlet light would have cut out a deep and bloody gash out of his chest just a moment ago.
Slowly heaving a sigh, Ning Cheng then looked at the Artefact in Miao Li Hu’s hands, it unexpectedly turned out to be a large scarlet streamer with an indistinct skull on it. The scarlet light, along with the dismal atmosphere, and the scarlet light that blew up on his chest, all of it came out of the bloody red banner.
If not for the help from the Mysterious Yellow Bead, perhaps he would have already been dead. At the same time Ning Cheng in his heart was also scared a bit, he was aware that although he had accumulated a large combat experience, but it was mostly against Monstrous Beasts. Although he was a cultivator at the Qi Gathering Realm, he unexpectedly dared to look down upon Miao Li Hu who was cultivator at the True Condensation Realm, was this not him courting death?
True Condensation Cultivators, even if it was someone with poor qualifications, they simply cannot be treated as ordinary people.
Ning Cheng did not dare to be negligent anymore, and once again unleashed a Sword Light from the Flying Sword in his hands, which chased towards Miao Li Hu.
“What……” Miao Li Hu shockingly looked towards the huge pit that was created by his attack, for a Qi Gathering 4th Level Cultivator to escape from his Scarlet Ghost Streamer, it was his first time seeing such a thing.
In his opinion, it was simply impossible for such a thing to happen, for a Qi Gathering 4th Level cultivator, it was fundamentally impossible to escape from his Scarlet Ghost Streamer.
This Ning Cheng was clearly a Qi Gathering 4th Level cultivator, but not only did he escape his Scarlet Ghost Streamer, he even used a Flying Sword to counter attack.
Eight Ice Cold Sword Lights arrived, it seemed as if the entire space around him was frozen. This completely sealed up area around him, and did not even leave any room for him to move.
“You are not a Qi Gathering Realm Cultivator……” Miao Li Hu was completely shocked as he called out, while he once again wielded the big streamer in his hands.
No matter how powerful a Qi Gathering Cultivator was, they would never be able to cast out this kind of an Ice Sword Light, moreover continuously casting eight of them, although these eight Sword Lights were not connected or linked up to each other, but it was actually enough to threaten the True Condensation Realm Cultivator with the surname Miao. Once they were linked up into one, even he would find it extremely difficult to resist.
For a Qi Gathering 4th Level Cultivator for release such a fearful Ice Sword Qi, he did not dare believe it.
After the shock, he quickly calmed down, although Ning Cheng’s counter attack was truly powerful, but he still believed that he could get rid of Ning Cheng.
“Chi Chi……” The Ice Sword Light of Ning Cheng and the Scarlet Light of Miao Li Hu’s streamer clashed together, creating a Chi Chi sound which resounded in the air, which sounded like the tearing of rags.
The 8 Sword Ice Lights were swept away by the scarlet light from this big bloody streamer, and the chilling cold that came from the ice Sword Lights immediately weakened. Miao Li Hu felt a bit happy, these 8 Ice Sword Qi were weak and cannot link up with each other into a single unit. As long as he could suppress Ning Cheng’s 8 Ice Sword Qi, he believed that he could easily kill Ning Cheng.
At this time, in the clash between the 8 Sword Lights condensed from the Ice Sword Qi and the scarlet light, once more 4 Ice Sword Lights emerged out of thin air. When these 4 Ice Sword Qi came out, the 8 Ice Sword Lights Qi from a moment before, which were scattered throughout the area instantaneously converged into one. Forming a Sword Net, the big scarlet streamer was completely frozen in the middle of the sword net.
“This, this is a Profound Grade Sword Technique……” Miao Li Hu felt his own spirit fly away, he did not think even for
a moment that Ning Cheng would even have a Profound Grade Sword Technique on him. Although he had not seen this type of sword technique before, but that did not mean that he could not judge what was right in front of him. This person who he considered as an ant in front of his eyes really had such a fearful sword technique.
Seeing the Profound Grade Sword Technique in front of him, Miao Li Hu knew that if he did not walk away from here immediately, he would really end up dying in this place today.
He always felt that Ning Cheng was inferior to him, but when he had fought with Ning Cheng before, he felt that he would not be able to kill him. But now he came to fully understand, that it was because Ning Cheng possessed the Profound Grade Sword Technique, as such he might not be able to do so.
Miao Li Hu did not know that he had guessed wrong, it was true that in terms of Qi he really was inferior to him. So when he fought with Ning Cheng, it was really weird for him, it was not because Ning Cheng was using the 36 Ice Sword Technique, but because Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Sense was much more formidable than him.
In the battle of wits between the cultivators, the person who has a stronger Spiritual Sense would always come out on top, Miao Li Hu had not realised the importance of Spiritual Sense, so it really would not be strange if he were to be defeated. In other words, as long as his Spiritual Sense was on par with Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng certainly would not be his opponent, that was why Ning Cheng was able to match up to him easily.
Miao Li Hu simply ignored the injury that his Scarlet Ghost Streamer received from the Ice Sword Qi, and sent out a ferocious blow with his palm, while at the same time took the Scarlet Streamer and rapidly retreated, he did not want to fight with Ning Cheng anymore.
At this time, a thin and fine needle which was hidden in the sword shadows appeared and disappeared through the gaps of the big Scarlet Streamer, and in an instant it disappeared into Miao Li Hu’s body.
