“Master.” Yin Kongchan whispered out a word.
Sang Jiezhu gave a doting yet loving look at Yin Kongchan, only she knew that Yin Kongchan’s soul having a part missing was not something that was congenital. Rather, it was because someone plotted against her. It was a pity that even now; she did not know who had plotted against her daughter.
……
Within the Floating Snow Palace’s Discussion Hall, almost all the Crucible Transformation Cultivators had arrived. Sitting in the middle was a woman wearing a blue dress, with cold look of indifference over her face.
Sang Jiezhu and the 4th Palace master entered the Discussion Hall, and took the initiative by themselves to sit on either side of this blue robed woman. Yin Kongchan once again bowed in ceremony and spoke, “Yin Kongchan greets the Grand Palace Master.”
The blue robed woman’s face immediately softened, as she nodded towards Yin Kongchan and spoke, “Kongchan, come sit by my side.”
Waiting till Yin Kongchan finally sat down, this woman immediately spoke up, “There are rumours circulating around that the Severing Emotions Dao Sect has acquired all of Ning Cheng’s possessions, at the same time there is also the news of a piece of branch from the Nine-Coloured Mirage Tree and Geocentric 9 Yin Essence about to appear in an auction in the Grand Peace City, do we have any thoughts about it?”
Sitting in the first seat on the left side was an old woman who spoke out with a dragged and husky voice, “The rumours came from the West Lu Makeshift Market, and seems to have been started by a Red Star Sword Faction’s disciple. However, looking objectively it seems that this is a deliberate scheme concocted by someone. Even if the Severing Emotions Dao Sect obtained these two things, how would they casually give it to a disciple? This is truly not possible.”
Another middle aged female cultivator sneered and spoke, “If the 2nd Palace Master thinks that it is absolutely impossible, then how could these two things appear at an auction? Does the Profound Light Chamber of Commerce dare to deceive all the major academies of the Tian Continent?”
The old woman’s face suddenly became difficult to look at, just as she was about to reply, the 1st Palace master spoke up, “This is for the sake of my Floating Snow Palace’s future, regardless of whether this matter is true or not, but since the Geocentric 9 Yin Essence has already appeared on the market, we must regard it as the real deal. According to the information that Kongchan brought back, Ning Cheng most likely perished when Xu Yingdei successfully severed her emotions. Since she has successfully severed her emotions, then his things appearing in the Severing Emotions Dao Sect would not be surprising. But for us, it would be much better if Ning Cheng’s things ended up falling in any other hand other than the Severing Emotions Dao Sect, not to mention the fact…..”
As the Palace Master spoke until here, she deliberately looked at Yin Kongchan at her side, before she continued, “Not to mention that Kongchan, who is my Floating Snow Palace’s future Grand Palace master, has her soul damaged. As such, no matter what, we have to get our hands on those three drops of Geocentric 9 Yin Essence.”
“I think what the Palace master spoke is correct; Severing Emotions Dao Sect’s Xu Anzhen also has a heavily damaged soul. If Ning Cheng’s things were not obtained by the Severing Emotions Dao Sect, then for those three drops of Geocentric 9 Yin Essence and the Nine-Coloured Mirage Tree, there is a high chance that Xu Anzhen would definitely make a personal visit to the Grand Peace City. If that is the case then it would become even more difficult for us to obtain the Geocentric 9 Yin Essence, so this time, it is highly likely that we would have to go all out.” A petite female cultivator stood up and spoke.
The blue robed Palace Master shook her head and spoke, “Sixth Sister is not entirely right, I think that regardless of whether the Severing Emotions Dao Sect obtained Ning Cheng’s things or not, they would definitely dispatch most of their forces. Moreover, Xu Anzhen would also be coming to the auction in person.”
“All the people coming there would already be aware as to what Xu Anzhen desperately needs, since the Geocentric 9 Yin Essence has come out, and if she did not personally go, it would be equivalent to the rumours coming true, that the Severing Emotions Dao Sect truly has a lot of Geocentric 9 Yin Essence in their possession. Therefore, she has to come out and even go all out to purchase the Geocentric 9 Yin Essence and the Nine-Coloured Mirage Tree, especially to squash all the rumours regards the Severing Emotions Dao Sect. Even if Ning Cheng’s things have not been obtained by the Severing Emotions Dao Sect, every ancestor level character would be coming out, in order to seize the Geocentric 9 Yin Essence.”
“Moreover, our Floating Snow Palace absolutely cannot allow Xu Anzhen to recover her cultivation. This is more than just three drops of Geocentric 9 Yin Essence, but rather it directly correlates to the survival or downfall of the Floating Snow Palace.”
Everyone present in the Discussion Hall finally understood the meaning of the Grand Palace Master’s words; the Floating Snow Palace and the Severing Emotions Dao Sect were eternal enemies. Once Xu Anzhen, who has a monstrous hatred towards the Floating Snow Palace, restores her cultivation, then their Floating Snow Palace would no longer be able to enjoy even a single peaceful day.
……
Almost at the same time, in the Severing Emotions Dao Sect’s Discussion Hall.
A young girl wearing a black robe was sitting over a black lotus, as she looked outside of the Discussion Hall; it looked as if her mind was pondering over something not here.
At this moment, every person inside the Discussion Hall was too afraid to even speak. They were all waiting for the girl sitting over the black lotus to make some sound. Even the Headmaster of the Severing Emotions Dao Sect, was also standing their quietly awaiting orders.
It was only after a good long while, that the black robed girl finally spoke out but in an extremely soft tone, “Someone intends to bring harm to my Severing Emotions Dao Sect, at the time when Dei’er successfully severed her emotions and advanced, she did not find Ning Cheng’s remains, indicating that Ning Cheng’s things might have been taken away by another person. This person obviously bears a hatred towards my Severing Emotions Dao Sect, so released a lot of rumours, in order to intentionally bring harm to my academy.”
“Grandma Xu, this time’s mission to go to the Grand Peace City to procure the things, please let me be the one to take over it. I will certainly bring back the Geocentric 9 Yin Essence and the Nine-Coloured Mirage Tree, Grandma Xu; you can be rest assured of it.”
However, the black robed girl shook her head and spoke, “This time there would definitely be a lot of people wanting to grab these two things, and most of them would be experts of the respective academies. So you going there would simply be of no use, I will have to make a trip myself. Not only will I have to go, but also at the same time, the people accompanying me from my Severing Emotions Dao Sect cannot absolutely be less. Since someone took out these two things, then it shows that they definitely possess much more. Moreover, without the help from the Geocentric 9 Yin Essence, I would not be able to recover. Once my cultivation is restored, then even if there was a bunch of them trying to go against my Severing Emotions Dao Sect, so what? All of them would simply be a pack of free-range chicken or earthenware dogs.”
Although she spoke with her back to them, but the tone of the black robed girl carried a strong disdain and extreme self-confidence in herself.
Similar kind of scenes played out in all the other major academies, whether it was the Heavenly Dao Academy, the Burning Sun Weapon Sect, Ying Yang Dao Sect or the others. They did not just look at the Profound Light Auction, and not even about the three drops of Geocentric 9 Yin Essence, but rather they delved deeper into the intent behind the three drops.
With the news of the upcoming Profound Light Auction of the Geocentric 9 Yin Essence and the piece of branch from the Nine-Coloured Mirage Tree, even more crazy rumours spread out from the West Lu Makeshift Market.
News about Xu Anzhen
and a large number of Crucible Transformation Cultivators from the Severing Emotions Dao Sect coming out also spread out in the shortest possible time to all the people. At this moment, not only were all the experts paying attention to the auction, but also they were also concerned about the involvement of Xu Anzhen from the Severing Emotions Dao Sect. If Ning Cheng’s things were already taken away by Xu Yingdei, then they must be on Xu Anzhen’s body.
……
Ning Cheng believed that even if Severing Emotions Dao Sect knew that someone was drawing the public hatred towards the Severing Emotions Dao Sect, the experts of the Severing Emotions Dao Sect would certainly come out. Not only that, there was also Yin Kongchan and the various people from the Floating Snow Palace that would came out, as such they would definitely try to restrain each other.
So he calmly used the time to arrange the Outbound Transmission Arrays. In order to increase the speed of the transmission of the Transmission Array, he set up a Transmission Array every thousand miles. Once the various transmission arrays were connected together, it would immediately take him several thousand miles away. As long as could succeed in activating the transfer, he was sure that he would be able to escape.
In the peripheral reaches outside of the Severing Emotions Dao Sect, after arranging the final Transmission Array, Ning Cheng was the only person standing there. His calculation were completely spot on, at this time he had learned that almost all of the experts of the Severing Emotions Dao Sect had walked out. For him, he would have to make do with this. He was well aware that it was absolutely impossible to get all the top experts of the Severing Emotions Dao Sect to go out.
The Severing Emotions Dao Sect was also very careful, although many experts were dispatched, but they definitely did not forget to activate the Grand Defensive Array to protect the academy. That is to say, if someone dares to attack the Severing Emotions Dao Sect, the Severing Emotions Dao Sect’s experts would be able to return in the shortest possible time.
Ning Cheng, of course, was not an idiot to attack the Severing Emotions Dao Sect head on, the Severing Emotions Dao Sect was protected by a Rank 9 Grand Array, while Ning Cheng was just a Tier 7 Array Formation Grand Master, as such he would definitely have to face some difficulties if he wanted to break open this Array Formation. However, he nearly had a full month of time with him, in this month, if he really could not enter the Severing Emotions Dao Sect, he would only have to leave in dejection.
No matter how good the strategy being used, but one also needed the required strength to complete the job.
Although the Severing Emotions Dao Sect’s fame was lot higher than the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect, Ning Cheng still felt that this Severing Emotions Dao Sect was far less magnificent that the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect. Just comparing the background of the academies, the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect’s background was a lot stronger than the Severing Emotions Dao Sect.
In the evening, Ning Cheng stealthily made his way towards the outer perimeter of the Severing Emotions Dao Sect. He intended to look for a place to carefully study the Rank 9 Array Formation in order to get in. Although he currently did not possess the ability to break open the Rank 9 Array Formation, but he still had to find a way in or at least find the opportunity to do that. After all, the Severing Emotions Dao Sect had only recently activated the huge array, but had not completely sealed off the academy, if they had sealed it off then there simply would have no thoughts about breaking it open.

Ning Cheng concealed himself and hid for a full day, after calculating and deducing things for a full day, he found that it was fundamentally impossible for him to break open the Rank 9 Grand Array, at best; he could only deduce something marginal of this Rank 9 Mountain Protecting Grand Array.
Unfortunately, even if that was the case, he can only rely on his own abilities to enter the Mountain Protecting Grand Array, however, it would need at least half of months’ time, and moreover he also had to make sure that his array formation deduction process was not discovered by others.
Ning Cheng hesitated for a bit, even though he had reached an agreement with the auction house that they could only auction the Geocentric 9 Yin Essence at the start, but that was only the ideal situation. Now every major power and old freak along with the low key experts, whether they hated him or not, would definitely come to the Grand Peace City. As such, who knew if any problems would crop up with the auction? Wasn’t there also the possibility that the auction beginning in advance?
Moreover, he also knew that once he entered the Severing Emotions Dao Sect, he might have to spend a lot of time inside. He was going inside to steal something; as such, he would inadvertently have to crack a lot of array formations and restrictions along the way, which would definitely need a lot of effort and time. As such, for him to use half of the seemingly available time to try to deduce the Mountain Protecting Grand Array, it was absolutely not possible.
A Soul Essence Female Cultivator landed outside the Mountain Protecting Grand Array of the Severing Emotions Dao Sect. This Soul Essence Female Cultivator took out a jade card, which quickly opened an entrance on the array formation. After the female cultivator entered, the entrance quickly closed again.
Ning Cheng on seeing this, immediately called out Grey Toottoot, then inscribing his own concealment restriction on the miniature world ring, he hung it around Grey Toottoot’s neck and spoke, “You will have to wander around at the location of the entrance, seeing a beautiful woman you just have to act like a spoiled brat, at least just as long as we are able to infiltrate the array formation.”
Saying that, Ning Cheng simply did not wait for Grey Toottoot to call back at him in protest, before he directly went into his miniature world.
Grey Toottoot under desperation could only stand in front of the entrance of Mountain Protecting Grand Array, trying to act cute. However, Grey Toottoot did not have to wait for long, when another pretty looking female cultivator descended riding a flying sword in front of the Mountain Protecting Grand Array.
This pretty woman was a late stage Profound Core Cultivator. When she saw Grey Toottoot shaking his head and wagging his tail in a cute manner, she suddenly frowned. Ning Cheng was watching over the entire situation unfurling outside with the help of his spiritual consciousness. Looking at the female cultivator frown, he immediately realized that the plan to infiltrate using Grey Toottoot acting cute had failed, he quickly sent a sound transmission to Grey Toottoot to escape immediately.
Grey Toottoot already did not want to stay in that place anyway, just as he received Ning Cheng’s sound transmission to escape; it immediately spread its legs and dashed away. Grey Toottoot had just left that spot, when a fireball descended on the place where Grey Toottoot was just standing. From this, it could be seen that as long as Grey Toottoot was even half a beat slow, he would have turned into flying ash by that fireball.
Fortunately, this female cultivator did not think much about Grey Toottoot. After Grey Toottoot escaped, she took out a jade card and directly entered the array formation.
Ning Cheng came out of his miniature world, and once again wore the ring onto his hand. While simultaneously cursing internally, women from the Severing Emotions Dao Sect could never be treated as women. According to his experience, if an ordinary girl met Grey Toottoot with its cute act on full display, they would certainly pick him up and take him back to their place. But the female disciples from the Severing Emotions Dao Sect on seeing Grey Toottoot, let alone drawing close to him, but had even actually thrown a fireball at it. It was no wonder that the women here cultivated such a disgusting cultivation method.
After Ning Cheng put away Grey Toottoot into his miniature world, he did not try to continue deriving the array format
ion. He knew that it would take up a considerable amount of time to derive the array formation; as such, he would not resort to it unless it was the last resort. Since the plan with Grey Toottoot did not work, he had to do this on his own.
Hiding himself near to the entrance of the array formation, Ning Cheng completely converged his aura. After waiting for half a day, he saw a cultivator at the Soul Sculpting Realm, a cultivator at the Soul Essence Realm and a cultivator at the late stages of the Profound Core Realm, as they passed through the huge array. However, Ning Cheng was very patient, and did not make even the slightest of movement.
It was not until the day was about to pass, when an early stage Profound Core Female Cultivator finally arrived at the front of Mountain Protecting Grand Array. Just at the moment when this early stage Profound Core Female Cultivator took out her jade card to open the array entrance, Ning Cheng instantaneously activated his Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds.
His Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds just flickered once, allowing Ning Cheng to brush past the side of the Profound Core Female Cultivator.
Not only Ning Cheng had achieved a nearly teleport-like speed but also he had even pushed his Concealment Cultivation Method to the extreme limits, so that even after his nearly teleport-like movement ended, he immediately entered stealth mode turning invisible once again. However, this female cultivator still seemed to have sensed something, causing her to repeatedly scan everything around her with her spiritual consciousness; however, she was not able to find any problems.
As Ning Cheng finally went past the Mountain Protecting Grand Array and entered the Severing Emotions Dao Sect, he once again felt the rich spiritual qi that wasn’t any worse than what he felt back at the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect. Causing him to lament about the richness of the Severing Emotions Dao Sect, however he did not dare to casually move around. That Profound Core Female Cultivator was still carefully looking around behind him, from this it could be seen that even though he had achieved a teleport-like speed and passed by quickly, something was still perceived by the other side.
