At this time Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness fell at the wooden box that was being lifted in the middle of the two walking corpses. Seeing the person inside the box, he immediately yelled out in surprise.
“What is it? Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng?” Meng Jing Xiu quickly asked.
“I know that person inside the wooden box, but how could she be in this place? This woman had gone with Yue Ying and the others, so how could she come here?” Ning Cheng replied to Meng Jing Xiu’s words, but it was more like he was talking to himself.
“Who is it?” Meng Jing Xiu quickly asked.
“That woman is the woman from the Wu Nian Academy who had a veil on her face, who had taken Yue Ying, Junior Apprentice Sister Danqin and Cang Shuo, to join the Wu Nian Academy. She had the cultivation of True Condensation 9th Level, moreover she had a Late Stage Essence Building Cultivator at her side, who was extremely powerful, so how could she be captured in such a remote place, moreover it seems that her cultivation is also sealed up?” Ning Cheng replied in a confused manner.
Meng Jing Xiu also froze for a moment, and then immediately spoke out, “Isn’t Wu Nian Academy in the Le Continent? Properly speaking, if she was transmitted out, then she should have transmitted to the Le Continent, so how could she be in the Hua Continent?”
After saying this, Meng Jing Xiu knew that she was focussing on the wrong things, the main point was that she was the core disciple of the Wu Nian Academy, if she was here then where did Junior Apprentice Sister Danqin and the others go to?
“Then what do we do?” Just as Meng Jing Xiu asked those words, Ning Cheng suddenly covered her mouth, while simultaneously completely restraining the aura in his body.
Meng Jing Xiu was already incomparably more intelligent than others, moreover she also had a quite an astonishing comprehension ability. As such Ning Cheng did not have to remind her again, she knew what she had to do, as she immediately also completely restrained the aura in her entire body, gradually she and Ning Cheng integrated into the surroundings, as if they had melted into the grass patches around them.
Just as they completely restrained their auras, a tyrannical Spiritual Consciousness swept towards them. But this Spiritual Consciousness did not stop, but rather quickly swept past them, before disappearing completely in a short while.
Meng Jing Xiu’s forehead immediately broke out in cold sweat, she knew that once they were caught by this Spiritual Consciousness, she and Ning Cheng were finished.
Ning Cheng had still not released Meng Jing Xiu, as he spoke in a whispering voice, “This person definitely has the cultivation of the Profound Congealing Realm, however I should be able to deal with him, as at least my Spiritual Consciousness is a lot stronger than his.”
After being silent for a moment, Ning Cheng once again spoke, “The difference between Profound Congealing Realm and Essence Building Realm is not only the True Essence that is more formidable, but also the formation of an embryonic form of the Core Lake, if that is only it then it is nothing much at all, but in the unexpected case of him/her cultivating even a bit of a superior intent, then we would not even have a slight chance of winning.”
“Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng, do you want to save her?” Meng Jing Xiu asked in a quivering voice, it was not that she did not want to save the woman with the veil, but Ning Cheng would have to deal with a cultivator of the Profound Congealing Realm to save her life, it was simply an egg being thrown at a rock.
Ning Cheng once again spoke in a whisper, “I must save her, Yue Ying, Danqin and Cang Shuo were together with this person, but now she is captured like this, then what happened to Yue Ying and the others? I had hoped for the God Wind Academy to protect Luo Fei, but now that the disciples of the God Wind Academy are possibly involved in some accident, how can I keep myself out of it? Besides, when I saw her, moreover once again, it can be considered as to be at least acquainted with this person, as such if I saw her in danger and did not at least do something to save her, then it would really be something not decent.
“Then we shall go together.” Meng Jing Xiu saw that Ning Cheng had already decided firmly, she also simultaneously spoke from the side.
Ning Cheng nodded, “You be careful while tightly following behind me, remember, regardless of whatever place, we have to conceal our aura. This fellow has most probably just advanced to the Profound Congealing Realm, as such his cultivation is currently unstable, as a result his Core Lake has yet to fully form. As long as we are not discovered by him before we start, then there are some prospects of us succeeding.”
If Meng Jing Xiu stayed here, Ning Cheng would definitely be worried about her. He confirmed that the purple robed wearing woman was being delivered to somewhere inside of the mountain, moreover she would be carried to that place by those corpse puppets, however he also confirmed that these corpse puppets did not seem to have come from the mountain.
“Good.” Meng Jing Xiu also absolutely did not have any objection. Anyhow she had already decided that regardless of what Ning Cheng decided she would not oppose it.
……
The two corpse puppets carrying the wooden box entered a more secluded gorge. Ning Cheng and Meng Jing Xiu carefully followed the two corpse puppets, but did not dare to begin yet.
Ning Cheng was clear that he could not use his Spiritual Consciousness to keep a look on the box, as such he had to use all his faculties to keep a close watch on the wooden crate. For him to kill the two corpse puppets was truly simple, but after finishing off the corpse puppets, then wanting to escape from this place would really be difficult. If he wanted to rescue this woman wearing a veil in her face, then he would have to secretly kill that Profound Congealing Realm Cultivator.
He was only an Early Stage Essence Building Realm Cultivator, so for him to kill a Profound Congealing Realm Cultivator, other than him executing a sneak attack, there was no other better way.
The two corpse puppets in front of them turned a corner, Ning Cheng and Meng Jing Xiu also picked up speed, after he neared the two corpse puppets, he suddenly took out the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle. The 7 Pleiades Ice Needle, in just a flash, disappeared in the darkness of the night, although it disappeared right in front of her, Meng Jing Xiu did not perceive Ning Cheng’s actions.
After the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, the two corpse puppets stopped in front of an overgrown grave. The two corpse puppets put down the wooden box and opened it, letting the purple robed woman to fall to the ground in front of the grave.
After completing these tasks, the two corpse puppets lifted the wooden box, as they turned around and walked once again back onto their original path they had taken, it was as if they did not know what exhaustion meant.
Ning Cheng and Meng Jing Xiu had completely concealed their aura as they hid in a thick patch of grass on the periphery of the grave, while turning completely motionless.
At this time the silence of the mountain valley was suddenly broken by some sounds, this was the sound of rustling of a shrub in the wind, but under the backdrop of the pale moonlight, it appeared even more strange.
After this mountain breeze blew past, the tombstone before the grave suddenly split open, as a gloomy aura seeped out from the inside. Then a woman wearing a green dress suddenly appeared in flash from inside the tomb, as she directly went and picked up the purple robed woman lying in front of the tomb, and then turned around before going into the tomb once again.
The grave that had split open, once again slowly closed up.
Just as Ning Cheng saw the grave starting to shut, he immediately picked up Meng Jing Xiu as he, in just a twinkling of an eye, flashed to the inside. Then they immediately hid in a corner, and once again became completely motionless. He was glad that this time that Profound Congealing Realm Cultivator had not used his Spiritual Consciousness to sweep through this passage, if he had swept through with it at this time, then he would have definitely been found out.
Meng Jing Cheng who was st
ill being held by Ning Cheng, once again spoke in a trembling voice, “Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng, was that woman from a moment ago also a corpse puppet?”
Ning Cheng also quickly replied in a whisper, “No, she was a live person. But her whole body was filled with extremely heavy Yin Energy, I guess that she cultivates some strange Cultivation Method. Junior Apprentice Sister Jing Xiu, from now on, if it is not a particularly urgent matter, it would be better if you did not make any sound.”
Meng Jing Xiu also hurriedly nodded, as Ning Cheng once again went into hiding with her in a more secluded corner. It was not until this time, Ning Cheng finally started to carefully observe the situation inside with his Spiritual Consciousness.

Inside the tomb, there was a slanting staircase descending down, but Ning Cheng did not sweep too far with his Spiritual Consciousness, and just extended it to the range of 10 meters. But the staircase was definitely more than 10 meters in length, because of which Ning Cheng also did not continue to search for the bottom. Since at the moment he was in the territory of a Profound Congealing Cultivator, he had to be extremely careful with his actions.
Ning Cheng carefully reviewed every inch of the stone staircase with his Spiritual Consciousness and came to the conclusion that this stone staircase was not build by this Profound Congealing Cultivator. It was very likely that this Profound Congealing Cultivator had found this place accidentally, then discovered that this place was beneficial to him, and as such took it as his own residence.
Ning Cheng, as he went down the staircase of this tomb, carefully arranged an Entrapment and Killing Array along the way, then he carefully and slowly moved down the staircase. Although he was not much dependent on this Entrapment and Killing Array, but just in case he had to escape from his opponent, this Entrapment and Killing Array could at least buy him the precious time that he needed to escape.
This stone staircase was very long, the downward they went the more humid and dark it became. Ning Cheng was really wondering why a Profound Congealing Cultivator would even choose this kind of place. Was cultivating in this kind of place that good?
However, as Ning Cheng went farther down, he slowly understood why the other party would want to cultivate here. This tomb was not only deep and humid, but it had an extremely rich and heavy Spiritual Qi. But this Spiritual Qi was filled with a very vile and evil aura, which made Ning Cheng really uncomfortable.
This was also felt by Meng Jingxiu, but because her cultivation was too low, she could only follow Ning Cheng from behind and as such did not have to bear the brunt of it.
They walked very slowly, and after the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Ning Cheng and Meng Jingxiu finally stepped onto the bottom of the staircase. There was a small stone structure that was similar to a stone hut in front of them, and at all the four corners of the stone structure, there was a burning stove.
Although this stone structure had four flaming stoves, but Ning Cheng and Meng Jingxiu still felt a chill. Even the fire in those stoves was giving out an incomparably cold feeling.
There was a corridor on both sides of the stone structure. Ning Cheng was thinking that he should pick the corridor on the left, but then the corridor on the right gave a “Shen Yin” sound. Ning Cheng hinted at Meng Jingxiu to keep following him, as the two of them carefully ducked into the corridor on the right. At the end of the corridor were two more stone structures similar to houses, that “Shen Yin” sound was coming from one of the stone structure.
[
TL Note
– The part “Shen Yin” in the above lines was actually written in the raws in English, so we chose to let it be like that. For those who are confused about it, ‘Shen Yin’ roughly means “To moan/To groan”. For more information, you can even google it and see.]
The stone structure did not have any doors, moreover the restrictions placed on it were also not broken in.
Ning Cheng and Meng Jingxiu hid behind the left most corner column. From this point they could clearly see the scene inside the right stone structures through the window like slits on the walls.
But when Meng Jingxiu looked at that scene, she immediately turned red in the face. Fortunately, she was aware of what kind of place they were in, as such she immediately concentrated on concealing her aura. One had to say, Ning Cheng’s Concealment Cultivation Method really went against the heavens, as to whether or not the opposite party had any idea about them, she did not know, but at least for now, Ning Cheng and Meng Jingxiu were not discovered.
In the stone structure that was across from them, there was a dishevelled man and the green robed woman Ning Cheng and Meng Jingxiu had seen earlier, pressed against each other on a wooden bed. Moreover, they seemed to be shaking their body with all their might. That green robed woman’s robe was already torn to pieces, and was lying on the wooden bed crying out “Shen Yin”, they simply did not know if she was crying out in pain or in bliss.
As for that woman from the Wu Nian Academy, the one wearing a veil on her face, she was simply left at the foot of the bed, it seems that the man did not have the time to even look at her body.
Ning Cheng had come from Earth, as such he also had seen some small movies of such things, but this man did not even have half the appeal of the men in those movies. It just made him completely despise him in his heart. But this man’s cultivation was formidable, Ning Cheng guessed that the Spiritual Consciousness that swept out before was originally from this person.
However, Meng Jingxiu was different, she had never seen such kind of thing, so just seeing this kind of thing even for just a short while made her whole body feel somewhat weak. In the beginning Ning Cheng had not minded Meng Jingxiu movements, for a while he even considered Meng Jingxiu to be a man on the outside, as such he had thought that even if she saw such a thing she would not make a fuss about it. However now that Meng Jingxiu’s blood flow had rapidly increased, wouldn’t this invite trouble for them?
The opposite party was a Profound Congealing Cultivator. But he had not yet discovered Ning Cheng and Meng Jingxiu, it was not that their cultivation was powerful, but it was because the Concealment Method employed by the two of them was simply too heaven defying. Furthermore, the two people were doing their utmost to not be noticed, otherwise they would not have been able to reach this far.
It can be said that Ning Cheng’s plan was already half done, if at this time, because of Meng Jingxiu’s accelerated blood flow, it implied that her heart was beating a lot faster than normal, as such it was likely that they would be found out. If they were discovered by this person then they would be completely finished.
Ning Cheng immediately grabbed Meng Jingxiu’s hand. As he carefully channelled some of his True Essence into her to calm down her accelerated flow of blood. But at this time, he did not dare to use his Spirit Cleansing Technique.
Fortunately, Meng Jingxiu also knew that it was an extremely serious matter, as such she forcefully stabilised herself while borrowing the help of Ning Cheng. As her heart’s restlessness finally calmed down, she once again completely hid herself in the surroundings along with him.
Ning Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, fortunately this cultivator at the Profound Congealing Realm was completely high on his enjoyment. Otherwise, it would not have been something good for them.
Meng Jingxiu thought that Ning Cheng was going to begin at this time, as according to her it was the best time to make a surprise attack. In actuality, even Ning Cheng, at that time, was taking this into consideration, but the present scene that he was seeing was not something in his calculations. Moreover, he was certain that if at this time he really started acting out his plan, then he would certainly be able to make that Profound Congealing Cultivator
eat a huge loss.
As Ning Cheng hesitated whether or not he should act, an angry voice exploded from the outside. Ning Cheng also heard this cold and angry voice, and immediately suppressed his desires of acting out his plans.
That haggard looking man was almost finished, but when he heard the cold and angry voice, he immediately got down from the green robed woman. Before he could even speak, a woman wearing a blue dress immediately landed on the opposite side of the room.
When Ning Cheng saw this blue robed woman, his heart immediately sank, he did not dare to sweep this woman with his Spiritual Consciousness. However, he was sure that the cultivation of this woman, was at the very least at Profound Congealing Realm. If there was only a single Profound Congealing Cultivator, he could still dare to act, but now that there were two Profound Congealing Cultivators here, he began to consider if he really should back away.
“Sikong Kai, you son of a bitch, this old lady had painstakingly helped with all your hard work, and you even carried off this old woman’s slave behind my back…….” This blue robed woman’s expression was extremely angry at the moment, as she even raised her hands and gave two slaps on his ears.
This man called Sikong Kai gave an awkward laugh as he spoke, “Jiao Jiao, I have waited for you for a long while, but you did not come back, moreover this was not something that you wanted to do, so I first……”
“Dog shit……” The woman called Jiao Jiao shouted angrily, as she lifted her hand. The green robed woman seeing her immediately sat up as she awkwardly tried to hide her naked body, but before she could even do anything, that green robed woman was immediately cleaved in half.
This Sikong Kai’s complexion immediately became ugly, but he did not attack, but rather said, “Jiao Jiao, since you have killed that person, you should have calmed down right?”
