  River Mound City was quite close to Lucky Heaven City. With Yue Shang’s cultivation in the Undead Realm, returning in an hour would not feel like a strange thing.

  “Uncle Shang, why don’t you take a few disciples with you?” A Yue Clan disciple, who looked a little older, quickly spoke up.

  Yue Shang laughed and spoke, “It’s just a trivial cultivator in the Celestial Bridge Realm, nothing that I have to consider seriously.”

  He had examined the location of the battle and had concluded that this cultivator in the Celestial Bridge Realm and Yue Huangfu should have fought for a long time. As such, how could someone like him feel afraid of this fellow? What’s more, when it came to River Mound City, he would not even have to do anything by himself. Just a word to the City Master and someone would automatically capture the murderer.

  If even Heavenly Emperor Striking Order had to give Yue Clan some respect, why would the others dare not to show them the same respect?

  Before Yue Shang left, he nodded to the two Celestial Gatherer Cultivators by his side and spoke, “Yue Hai, take care of things here.”

  After he finished, he then glanced at Ning Cheng once again before quickly leaving the hall.

  “Many thanks for coming here with the information.” After Yue Shang left, the Celestial Gatherer Cultivator, called Yue Hai, spoke to Ning Cheng with a friendly tone.

  Ning Cheng hurriedly waved his hand and spoke, “No, no, this is what I should do.”

  “Right, do you have any family? Where do you live? Who else knows that you are here?” Yue Hai asked a few questions with the same smile over his face.

  “I’m just a rogue cultivator. I do not have any family.

  Without other family members to provide for, feeding one person is the same as feeding the family

  . In any case, no one knows of me coming here.” Ning Cheng showed an embarrassed smile; at the same time, he also picked up a few scheming signs with his Spiritual Consciousness.

  Yue Hai felt satisfied with Ning Cheng’s answer and nodded before speaking, “That would be great; however, we are sorry that we can’t pay you. It’s not that we don’t feel reluctant to part with celestial coins, but one must remain alive to spend it……”

  Ning Cheng showed a surprised look and asked, “Why?”

  He truly felt a bit surprised. Although he came bearing information with different motives, Yue Clan was also a famous clan, so why would they feel reluctant to part with some celestial coins?

  The Celestial Shatterer Cultivator wearing scarlet robes, who spoke earlier, looked dismissively at Ning Cheng and spoke, “Just a trivial Celestial Novice Cultivator, and yet daring to collect the one billion green coin reward?”

  Ning Cheng suddenly spoke up, “I see, it’s because you said something about destroying a planet. You’re afraid that I would spread it around and ruin Yue Clan’s reputation.”

  Yue Hai showed a faint smile, “You said it yourself. Since you brought us the information, then you should also solve it yourself. It’s a good thing that no one knows that you came here, it’s also a good thing that nobody knows you.”

  If Yue Clan destroyed a planet, they

  could

  let others speculate that Yue Clan had done it; however, they could never allow any evidence of Yue Clan’s involvement to see the light of the day.

  “Alright.” Ning Cheng suddenly spoke, “Oh yes, did you know that Yue Huangfu died by my hands?”

  When Ning Cheng spoke the last sentence, the Treasured Thunder Spear suddenly appeared in his hand; at the same time, his Celestial River Domain also frantically swept out. Dozens of Spear Shadows split open the surroundings and filled every inch of the area with a horrifying flame-infused Spear Intent. This Spear Intent also brought forth a sharp murderous intent as spear shadows tore through space to reach their targets.

  He could already bind Yue Huangfu without much effort, so these low-levelled cultivators did not pose many difficulties. During that instant, Ning Cheng’s authoritative domain stretched out and covered all the Yue Clan cultivators present in his hall; at the same time, none of the cultivators managed to react in time.

  It was not until Ning Cheng’s Treasured Thunder Spear pierced through the five Celestial Gatherer Cultivators did the rest of Yue Clan disciples finally managed to react. Frantically trying to stretch out their domains, they brought out their weapons and wildly charged towards Ning Cheng.

  At this time, Ning Cheng completely ignored people discovering his secrets and brought out his Everlasting Blue Thunder City. The even brighter projection of the Blue Thunder City blocked the bombardment from over a dozen weapons, while Ning Cheng’s spear spewed forth more and more flame traces.

  “Poof-poof-poof…..” Blood splashed all around, while continual sounds of shattering dantians resounded all around Ning Cheng.

  It was a fight without resistance. After Ning Cheng killed the five cultivators with the highest Celestial Gatherer Cultivation under his formidable Celestial River Domain in just an instant, the Yue Clan cultivators in the hall could no longer organise or pose any resistance.

  The Celestial River Flame tore open a path while burning through flesh, leaving behind only a dozen or so life essences. At the same time, no sign of slaughter escaped due to Ning Cheng’s soundproof restrictions.

  “My Yue Clan has nothing to do with you, yet you kill people from my Yue Clan without any reason, even using such vicious means….” Yue Hai yelled out while grinding his teeth.

  Ning Cheng spoke with an ice-cold tone, “If your Yue Clan had caught me, would you have let me off easy? Your Yue Clan would even go to the point of killing the messenger; it only serves to show that your clan is just a bunch of trash. Now I will only ask you a simple question, who among you knows from where the Five Elements Treasure Fall Copper Coin came; otherwise, I wouldn’t mind letting you suffer a bit more.”

  “You came here for the Five Elements Treasure Fall Copper Coin?” Yue Hai seemed to have understood something.

  Ning Cheng did not even bother to answer the question and allowed the Celestial River Flame to rage.

  “I know, please, senior. Show some mercy.” Ning Cheng had not thought that the Celestial Shatterer Cultivator wearing scarlet robes would break down and speak up at this moment.

  The Celestial River Flame under Ning Cheng’s control immediately burst out, wiping out more than ten life essences, leaving behind only this scarlet-robed Celestial Shatterer Cultivator.

  “Speak, if what you said makes me unhappy, I will roast your life essence for seven periods of seven days.” Ning Cheng’s tone grew colder and colder. If not for him being unable to use Soul Search to obtain complete information, he would not have bothered to question this scarlet-robed cultivator and would have directly used Soul Search.

  The scarlet-robed cultivator quickly spoke, “Yes, yes… The Five Elements Treasure Fall Copper Coin came from one of our Yue Clan’s disciples, Yue Yangzhi, who came from a low-level planar boundary. That Yue Yangzhi came from a Qin Wu City in the Ink Essence Planet. He said that this Qin Wu City had a female cultivator by the name of Shi Qionghua…..”

  Ning Cheng then heard that Qionghua, to return to the Sifting Orchid Star, had tasked the Yue Clan to help refine a talisman. However, when he heard that Yue Clan schemed against her, resulting in her and Yue Clan perishing together, Ning Cheng almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.

  That bastard Yue Yangzhi not only robbed the Five Elements Treasure Fall Copper Coin, he even used his Void Cleaving Talisman to enter the starry skies. This fellow had some good luck on his side and managed to find a starry skies’ airship in less than ten years and reach the Die Yuan Star. As for the rest of the things, even if this scarlet-robed cultivator did not say, Ning Cheng had already learned about it from Yue Huangfu.

  However, Ning Cheng still did not know that Shi Qionghua had spent a few decades helping the Yue Clan find the materials for refining the talisman. One could even say that Shi Qionghua was t
he main reason why Yue Yangzhi could refine the Void Cleaving Talisman. If Ning Cheng knew about this, he might have gone completely crazy and torture every life essence in this place.

  ……

  Yue Shang carefully went through every corner of River Mound City but could not find even a single hint about this Moon Charge Merchant House and immediately felt something amiss. How could a puny Celestial Novice Cultivator dare lie to him? Even if it were a lie, one would not make up a merchant house.

  Not finding this Moon Charge Merchant House, Yue Shang once again recalled Ning Cheng’s words. He recalled that Ning Cheng spoke and looked very respectful when talking to him, an Undead Realm Cultivator. However, he could not help but feel like something was wrong about it. A Celestial Novice Cultivator while talking to a cultivator in the Undead Realm would usually refer to latter as ‘senior’ and himself as a ‘junior’. However, that fellow spoke to him using a direct form.

  Besides, even if it were a cultivator in the Celestial Bridge Realm who killed Huangfu, why would that fellow sell Yue Clan’s talismans in such an open manner; moreover, in a place this close? Even if that fellow wanted to sell them, how could that fellow let a puny Celestial Novice Cultivator discover it? Because Yue Shang was in a murderous mood, he unexpectedly had not paid much attention to the flaws in the act.

  There definitely was a problem with that Celestial Novice Cultivator.

  Suddenly, Yue Shang thought of something, recalling the words ‘Moon Charge Merchant House’, did those words not sound similar to ‘Murdering Yue Merchant House’?

  This fellow definitely was an enemy of the Yue Clan.

  Thinking of this, Yue Shang did not feel like loitering around in River Mound City. Frantically rushing out of River Mound City, he immediately headed towards Lucky Heaven City.

  [TL Note: Moon Charge Merchant House (

  – Si Yue Shang Lou) and Murdering Yue Merchant House (

  – Shi Yue Shang Lou) almost have the same phonetic pronunciation.]

  Yue Clan’s residence had turned deathly silent. After entering the Defensive Array Formation, Yue Shang’s Spiritual Consciousness immediately swept past the bodies of the Yue Clan’s cultivator in the hall.

  However, his expression immediately changed the moment he stepped into the hall after seeing the aftermath with his own eyes. He had left this place for only half an hour and had even instructed Yue Hai to silence that Celestial Novice Cultivator who had brought them the news. Unexpectedly, in just half an hour, he came back to the sight of a hall filled with dead Yue Clan cultivators.

  Yue Shang’s hand trembled slightly. The higher-ups of the Yue Clan had left him in Lucky Heaven City to guide the Yue Clan disciples who had not yet left. However, at this moment, not only had Yue Huangfu fallen, none of the Yue Clan cultivators staying in Lucky Heaven City survived.

  No

  , Yue Shang suddenly sobered up. Since the other party most likely wanted to kill everyone in the Yue Clan, why would that fellow go so far as to lure him away? Moreover, even if the other party tried to lure him away, instead of choosing a place from where he could rush back quickly, why did that fellow not use a farther site?

  Just as Yue Shang thought of this, a horrifying murderous intent descended.

  This definitely was a Celestial Bridge Cultivator,

  Yue Shang thought as he instantly brought out an iron tower-like weapon. However, even before he could completely unleash this iron tower-like weapon, a formidable domain immediately swept in with the intent of binding his movements.

  Someone wanted to sneak-attack him,

  Yue Shang thought as he gave out a cold snort. The next moment, his Celestial Essence exploded out, and with a twist of his body, Yue Shang immediately moved to the side. Almost at the same exact moment, an incomparably fierce spear shadow streaked across his waist. If it were an ordinary Celestial River Realm’s domain suppression, Yue Shang could have completely ignored it while moving a little further; however, the quality of this domain had far surpassed that of the domains of ordinary Celestial Bridge Cultivators. As such, he could not wholly extricate himself from the influence of the murderous intent.

  “Poof….” An axe accompanied with even more powerful axe intent slammed into his abdomen, directly blasting a gaping hole through his stomach and even brought out a section of his intestines on its way out.

  A powerful aura suddenly appeared from the centre of the hall, and Ning Cheng finally stood up amidst the corpses of the Yue Clan cultivators.

  “It’s you, no wonder you tried to lead me away. Turns out, you are just a Celestial Scryer Ant relying on Violent Celestial Pills. Daring to wait for me in this place, despite swallowing a Violent Celestial Pill and not dying, it sure did not bring you any luck. Or rather, maybe it would be better to say that it brought you quite the misfortune.” Yue Shang’s gaze and words dripped with ice-cold killing intent. He had long thought about countless ways to torture Ning Cheng. If he did not torture this ant-like Celestial Scryer Cultivator, then he was not a member of the Yue Clan.

  Ning Cheng overflowed with murderous desire; at the same time, his cultivation had also started to skyrocket. However, his starry skies’ Sea of Consciousness managed to control the expansion brought about by the massive influx of Celestial Essence. However, Ning Cheng did not feel even a single bit happy within his heart. He had used the Violent Celestial Pill to raise his cultivation level forcibly to the Celestial Bridge Realm; as such, it was utterly different from naturally advancing to the Celestial Bridge Realm.

  Although he managed to sneak attack Yue Shang, this fellow had unexpectedly escaped from his killing shot. Moreover, even the bloody hole carved out by the Wishful Demon Axe in his abdomen healed with speed visible to the naked eye. This highlighted the strength of cultivators in the Undead Realm.

  Ning Cheng did not choose to talk nonsense with Yue Shang; bringing out the Treasured Thunder Spear, a flame-patterned spear shadow immediately shot out. He had to kill Yue Shang in the shortest possible time; otherwise, he could only wait for his death.

  “Did you really think that you could kill me by forcibly raising your cultivation to the Celestial Bridge Realm and sneak-attacking me? Idiot. Most likely, Yue Huangfu must have fallen to your sneak-attack. Looks like apart from sneak attacks and swallowing Violent Celestial Pills, you don’t have any other methods of attack.” As Yue Shang spoke, the iron tower in his hand suddenly soared up and quickly expanded. In just a blink of an eye, it transformed into a three-storey tower.

  Ning Cheng remained silent; at the same time, the Treasured Thunder Spear spat out even denser flame-patterned spear shadows, accompanied with even stronger spear intent.

  The next moment, the first level of Yue Shang’s tower spewed out layers of black fog. This caused Ning Cheng to feel slightly surprised.

  Was this poison mist?

  Although feeling surprised, Ning Cheng’s hands never stopped. With just a wave, many array flags emerged.

  Then, one after another, array discs started to appear all around Yue Shang and sword shadows, blade shadows, spear shadows, axe shadows… Erupted with full intensity. In just a blink of an eye, these attacks completely overwhelmed Yue Shang.

  Yue Shang gave out a cold snort, “Just some garbage array discs, and yet you dare use them against me.”

  Yue Shang felt anger welling up in this heart. He felt angry with Ning Cheng; an ant-like cultivator unexpectedly tried using grade 3 celestial arrays to deal with an expert in the Undead Realm.

  The black fog spewed out from the first level of the tower began to coalesce, forming into a huge net to trap Ning Cheng. However, the attacks from Ning Cheng’s hundreds of celestial-grade array discs immediately h
alted the movements of this net.

  Ning Cheng had yet to unleash his Traceless Spear Intent when the second level of Yue Shang’s tower suddenly lit up, and half-moon blade lights shot out from it, one after another.

  These blade-lights quickly ripped through Ning Cheng’s Celestial River Domain and tore through Ning Cheng’s attacks from his grade 3 celestial arrays, causing them to pop like exploding popcorn kernels before disintegrating into pieces.

  Seeing this, Ning Cheng’s heart sank as he finally realised what fearlessness due to ignorance meant.

  Ning Cheng immediately realised his ignorance. He had initially thought that forcibly pushing his cultivation to the Celestial Bridge Realm could allow him to deal with Yue Shang’s cultivation in the Undead Realm. However, from the looks of it, the other party did not any worse for wear. If not for the Violent Celestial Pill, Ning Cheng would have died countless times already.

  He had to rely on the Violent Celestial Pill to ascend to the Celestial Bridge Realm forcibly; although it could not compare to naturally advancing to the Celestial Bridge Realm, it allowed him to climb to a state several times stronger compared to his initial Celestial Shatterer Realm. Even so, it was still not enough to take down Yue Shang. This made him realise that the difference in strength between the Undead Realm and the Celestial Bridge Realm was like a vast chasm.

  Ning Cheng had utilised a variety of favourable conditions to sneak attack Yue Shang, yet still could not cause any apparent fatal injuries to Yue Shang.

  “Buzz…..” Although Ning Cheng fully utilised the Wishful Demon Axe for defence, the first half-moon blade-light that flew out of the second floor of Yue Shang’s iron tower still managed to send his axe flying. As for the black mist net, which survived the annihilation-like attack from more than a hundred Grade 3 Celestial Killing Formations, immediately started contracting once again.

  Ning Cheng still had two options, one was to bring out the Everlasting Blue Thunder City, and the other was to use his Dusk Spiritual Technique.
