  He was already sure that these people would definitely try to get their hands on him, not because he was a Devil Cultivator, but because of the things on his body. Fortunately, he had the Twin Heavenly Cloud Wings, unless there really was a Soul Essence Cultivator pursuing him, there was definitely no one here who would be able to kill him.

  Ning Cheng at this moment was calm in his heart, he had already seen this kind of thing many times before, and as such, there was no need for him to be angry about it. If he were stronger, then he himself would not hesitate to kill all of those people. In this place, although one can show kindness, but there was no need to convince other people about his methods, as this was certainly not a virtuous place.

  Looking around for a bit, Ning Cheng decided to spend a few days here in waiting, and then rush over as sneakily as possible. Since not all people were able to enter the Third Segment of the Law’s Way, as such as long as he was able to rush into the entrance to the Third Segment of the Law’s Way, it would almost be the same.

  “Who’s there?” Ning Cheng was just starting to carve out an Immortal Cave, when he felt extremely faint Spiritual Consciousness fluctuations around him. Although it was extremely faint, Ning Cheng could easily detect it.

  “This friend is indeed really vigilant.” An unhurried voice sounded out, after which a young cultivator wearing a grey cultivator’s robe appeared in Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness range, and soon the same cultivator unhurriedly came and stood in front of Ning Cheng a few meters in front of him.

  This was a Profound Core 7th Level Cultivator, had an average body, and was giving off a hint of sinister aura. Moreover, there was even a one of a kind but faintly discernible slaughtering fluctuations emanating from him, when Ning Cheng felt this; he could immediately tell that this person was definitely not like the others.

  “This humble one’s name is Si Bing, and is a rogue cultivator. Previously this one had seen this friend in front of the entrance to the Third Segment of the Law’s Way when you had made your escape; it showed that you really have a matchless strength, making even this Si very much admired of it.” This cultivator held up his fists towards Ning Cheng and spoke in an unhurried tone.

  Ning Cheng in his heart immediately became extremely alert; this Si Bing was really somewhat peculiar. Not to mention that he was not able to detect the other party until now, but even back, when he had left the makeshift city at that time, even then he had not discovered this Si Bing. Moreover, this person’s True Essence flow was also very quirky; rather it was something that made Ning Cheng feel as if he was somewhat familiar to it.

  “My name is Cheng Xiaoning. Is Elder Brother a person that treads the path of the Devil?” Ning Cheng also held up his fists, and calmly asked.

  Si Bing gave a small smile, “That’s correct, I indeed am a person who treads the path of the Devil, but it does not mean that I am like those people back there who does bad things, and then claim that any random person is a Devil Cultivator. Elder Brother Ning should also be a person like I who treads the path of the Devil, if that is so then why didn’t you just go ahead and kill all those pretentious cultivators that encircled you?”

  Ning Cheng spoke in a light voice, “I do not understand this so called path of the Devil, and I am more so not a Devil Cultivator, since we are people who tread different paths as such we would not be able to make plans together, as such I will have to ask Elder Brother Si to take your leave.”

  Ning Cheng did not despise Devil Cultivators, as he too was in a sense considered a Devil Cultivator. However, for the moment he wanted to enter the Third Segment of the Law’s Way all by himself, and did not want to stir up any additional trouble that would definitely come if he were to associate with this Si Bing.

  “Ha-ha….” Si Bing gave a light laugh and spoke, “Elder Brother Cheng might possibly not know the degree of loathing towards the ones who tread the path of the Devil in the 9 Continents, if you really did you would not have spoken to a Devil Cultivator in the same way you just did. However my coming here is not related to that, it is actually to discuss a matter with Elder Brother Cheng, and that is, I want to collaborate up with Elder Brother Cheng to break into the Third Segment of the Law’s Way together. Elder Brother Cheng has the Twin Heavenly Cloud Wings which are definitely not ordinary, and if I could have the chance to work together with you, then breaking into the Third Segment would definitely not be impossible.”

  Ning Cheng’s back immediately turned cold, as he stared at Si Bing and spoke, “It looks like you know a lot about me, since you even know that I have the Twin Heavenly Cloud Wings, are you not afraid that I would silence you in order to not let this matter out? Or is it that you think you would be able to snatch my Twin Heavenly Cloud Wings.”

  Si Bing once again laughed and then spoke, “Elder Brother Ning misjudges this humble Si Bing, since it was my idea to cooperate with you, I would definitely not do such a nasty thing. Of course, I also do not care about Elder Brother Ning saying that you want to silence me, I believe that Elder Brother Ning would have already realized that if I was someone who could be so easily silenced then I would not have been able to stay here for several years.”

  “Moreover, it is also widely known that the only place you would find the real entrance to the Third Segment of the Law’s Way would be none other than that makeshift city. It is just because of the countless people that are unable to cross it, which had made the life of the cultivators not being able to enter the Third Segment to be very difficult, because of which they would all come to live here. Of course, here the Laws of the Heaven and Earth are much more complete, and you can definitely go into seclusion for your cultivation practice. But after a few decades, the cultivators trapped in here, would have no choice but try to break into the Third Segment to get out.”

  Ning Cheng had just arrived at this place, as such he also did not understand much about the Third Segment of the Law’s Way. On hearing Si Bing’s words, it had moved his heart a bit, as he cupped his fist and asked, “Elder Brother Si, can you enlighten me about the situation regarding the Third Segment?”

  Si Bing gave a small smile and continued, “Of course it would not be a problem, and in fact this path can actually be considered as the entrance to the real Law’s Way. This segment not only tests the cultivation of the one entering, but it is more attuned to testing one’s perception and qualifications. It is not that the higher cultivation you have, the higher the chances would you have in passing through it. There are also a few cases where people, with just the cultivation of Essence Building, as long as their wisdom and perception was first rate, were able to pass through this segment. The real good things of the Law’s Way are inside, in other word in the Third Segment. Just take the example of the True Spirit Nectar Wash that everyone wants.”

  “Elder Brother Si, how do you propose we cooperate, why don’t you state it out clearly?” Ning Cheng on hearing this immediately had a few ideas going through his mind. Although he had arrived at this place, but he did not have the time to understand it, but looking at this Si Bing, it was apparent that he had a much deeper understanding of the things here.

  Si Bing continued, “Going from the Second Segment to the Third Segment, that’s when one starts to gain some real insights into the Laws, but if you want to enter the Third Segment, then it is necessary for one to comprehend the Laws here. However, many cultivators cannot comprehend the Laws, and can only remain stuck in this place. Over time, more and more cultivators moved in here, forming a simple yet crude makeshift city. Some of the stronger ones, in order to get resources for practicing their cultivation, just before the entrance of the Third Segment had arranged an Array Formation. All one has to do is to pass through this Array Formation, but those cultivators who want to enter the Third Segment, each and every one must pay a certain amount of Spirit Stones.”

  Ning Cheng in heart had already come to understand what was going on, it was the same as when he had entered the Second Segment. The only
difference was, the cultivators back at the entrance of the Second Segment absolutely did not have any other means. In any case, all the cultivators wanting to enter the Third Segment would be willing to pay out Spirit Stones. Otherwise, the only other option was to go into seclusion in this place until they die.

  “My idea is, we will work together to break this Array Formation in the shortest possible times, and immediately rush into the entrance to the Third Segment. This Array Formation, I have already figured it out how it operated, but if I were the only person who tries to break it, it would take too much time. When the time comes I will give you the Array Flags, and we would work together to rapidly break this Array.”

  Si Bing did not know that Ning Cheng was an Array Formation Master, moreover an expert that was even more formidable that he himself in this field, but it was precisely because of this that he wanted to coordinate with Ning Cheng.

  Ning Cheng had already understood Si Bing’s idea, as Si Bing’s understandings towards Array Formations was limited, because of which he wanted to find a person to work with him, and with the fastest speed, break open the Array Formation blocking their path. The person who he wanted to cooperate with did not need to have an exceptionally high cultivation, but they had to be fast and work quickly. Moreover, since they have the Twin Heavenly Cloud Wings, their speed would simply be matchless, because of which he was clearly the best candidate.

  “Ok.” Ning Cheng immediately agreed.

  “Good, it really is a happy occasion.” Si Bing took out more than a dozen pieces of Array Flags, along with an Array Diagram before passing it all to Ning Cheng and spoke, “These Array Flags and Array Diagram are for you to get familiarized with. You will be responsible for the Heaven Palace, Water Palace, Mountain Palace, Thunder Palace and also dropping these Array Flags into the correct coordinates, while I am responsible for the rest of things.”

  [

  TL Note

  – Here the words Heaven Palace (

  ), Water Palace (

  ), Mountain Palace (

  ) and Thunder Palace (

  ) are actually the symbolic equivalent of the 4 of the 8 elements of the Bagua Diagram, also known as the Eight Trigrams Diagram. While the word Palace/Temple (

  ) is actually not a reference to a building, rather it is a referent to a specific region in an Array Formation.]

  Ning Cheng immediately understood that Si Bing did not care of Ning Cheng’s skill in Array Formations; he just needed to borrow his speed, so he could drop these Array Flags into their specific positions. However, going according the words of Si Bing, he really was the one who was at an advantage, he just had to drop a few Array Flags into position, as to the other things he held no responsibility for it.

  In addition, from seeing the Array Diagram and the dropping points of the Array Flags, he understood that this Si Bing was truly not secretly trying to act on him.

  “When do you want to begin?” Ning Cheng put away the Array Flags and the Array Diagram and asked.

  “Let’s start tonight, I already am not able to wait anymore, if you did not come today, then I would have begun a few days from now.” Si Bing spoke with a smile.

  Saying that, he added another sentence, “Elder brother Cheng, although I also do like to slaughter on a whim, but I am definitely not the type that harms people in secret. Tonight, if we go according to my approach, then we certainly would be able to enter the entrance of the Third Segment of the Law’s Way. But Elder Brother Ning, if we can’t break in, then we will be forcibly thrown out by the Restrictions of the Law’s Way, and would ultimately fall into the hands of the others, so I hope that you would not play tricks on me.”

  Ning Cheng spoke in a cold but calm voice, “This kind of work is no trouble with Elder Brother Si’s help, if I ended up getting forced out then it would just prove that the skills that I cultivated were no good, it would have nothing to do with Elder Brother Si.”

  Although this Si Bing looked honest and seemed to be dealing everything above board. Nevertheless, Ning Cheng did not believe him completely.

  Si Bing saw that Ning Cheng did not plan to speak any more words with him, no longer talked any nonsense, as he went to find a place close by to rest for now.

  The cycle of day and night still existed inside the Law’s Way as it did outside, and handling such affairs at night was indeed much better that acting out in the day.

  “Grey Toottoot?” Although Ning Cheng did not fear Si Bing, but his Spiritual Consciousness was always working in caution and prudence. He found that although Si Bing had indeed not moved from his spot, but rather had once again seen Grey Toottoot.

  Not only did he saw Grey Toottoot, but he also saw Yan Ji who was following behind Grey Toottoot, and seemed very anxious.

  Grey Toottoot because of its unbeatable sense of smell directly came running towards Ning Cheng’s side. Under the dim light, Yan Ji on finally seeing Ning Cheng once again immediately calmed her restless mood.

  Ning Cheng on seeing that Yan Ji and Grey Toottoot had secretly ran out, did not know if it was because Yan Ji wanted to find him, and used Grey Toottoot to lead the way to this place or Grey Toottoot wanted to find him, and Yan Ji followed him.

  “Oh, Elder Brother Ning really is quite an expert, a quarter of an hour hasn’t even passed by when a stunning woman immediately came looking for you out as if she couldn’t bear to be without you.” Si Bing’s voice sounded out, while his tone had a hint of strangeness to it.

  Ning Cheng ignored him, he could already feel that Yan Ji had somewhat grown dependent on him. This made him feel helpless, Yan Ji was a core disciple of an 8 Star Academy, if he ended up being hunted down by an 8 Star Academy even once, it would not be a trifling matter.

  “Elder Brother Ning, what I meant is should we begin at present, what do you say?” Si Bing soon got down to business and quickly did away with the previous topic of conversation.

  “Ok.” Ning Cheng did not hesitate and nodded while simultaneously put Grey Toottoot into the Spirit Beast Bag, while he put Yan Ji on his back once again. Si Bing’s entire body was giving him strange vibes; moreover, Ning Cheng was simply unwilling to let him know that he had a miniature world on him.

  ……

  “Where did Senior Apprentice Sister Ji go?” Ji Tingting suddenly woke up; she did not realize when Yan Ji had left.

  She was just going to rush out, and inform the few Profound Core Senior Apprentice Brothers from her Blue Cloud Academy, when the sound of a huge True Essence explosion spread out.

  “Two Devil Cultivators are working together to break the Array, everyone come out aah.” Painful cries immediately made Ji Tingting realize that it was Cheng Xiaoning who wanted to use the cover of the night to break into the Third Segment of the Law’s Way.

  Si Bing’s face was very ugly; he could have never imagined that before he could even arrive at the Array Formation, other people would block off him.

  “Elder Brother Si, it sure looks like this is a ‘sure-fire way’, but it seems to be quite bad ah.” Although Ning Cheng felt a bit sour in his heart, but he was not anxious at all. He looked at the desperate look on Si Bing’s face, and knew that Si Bing had definitely not thought of such thing happening.

  Si Bing gnashed his teeth and spoke, “I’m sure that my approach does not have any problems with it, moreover there is absolutely no way there would be these many cultivators out at night in this place, I have observed this place and the surrounding areas for over six months….”

  Ning Cheng on hearing this, immediately thought of something, and soon even his face became as ugly to look at as Si Bing’s did. He finally realized what had happened, it should have been someone who was close to Yan Ji, and had placed a Sp
iritual Consciousness Tag on Yan Ji’s body.

  Because of which, when Yan Ji sneaked out at night to look for him, it was completely premeditated by someone else. As long as Yan Ji found him, they would notice it.

  “Haha… Two Devil Cubs actually teamed up, everyone let’s take them on together, as long as you take part in destroying these two Devil’s Cub of cultivators, all of them would have shared benefits.”

  A Profound Core 9th Level Cultivator laughed, while he simultaneously exploded out with the sword shaped magic weapon in his hands.

  It was followed by an illusionary image of splitting open the air, creating a booming sound.

  The True Essence stirred up the Sword Qi seemed to have turned into endless and inexhaustible razor blades, which then locked onto Ning Cheng.

  Ning Cheng at the same time utilized his True Cosmic Devil Axe to burst out with Demonic Qi, which tore open the blades formed by the Sword Qi from the inside.

  “Peng Peng Peng Peng Peng….”

  The killing lights generated by the Sword Qi cracked open with explosive sounds as if they were twisted pairs of wires. Ning Cheng’s Axe Intent in the form of a vortex immediately rushed out and collided with this Profound Core 9th Level Cultivator creating a huge explosion, which immediately caused him to give out a soft groan, before he was pushed back tens of meters away.

  So strong

  . Originally, he had heard that Ning Cheng had killed dozens of Profound Core Cultivators before. Nevertheless, before this clash, he who was a Profound Core 9th Level Cultivator was having a few doubts about such a thing, but at this moment he no longer held even the slightest doubt about this, and spoke up loudly, “If we do not work together, then we’ll only be letting them walk away.”

  In fact, he did not even have to shout out, as dozens of Profound Core and Profound Congealing Cultivators immediately brought out their magic weapons and used them to attack Ning Cheng.
