  Ning Cheng’s heart had already started to surge with murderous intentions. This Third Island Master wanted to tear him to pieces. This bastard didn’t even try clearing up the matter before exerting his might.

  How could Ning Cheng remain polite in the face of such people? The next moment, his domain erupted at full power, fused with the power of the Celestial River Flame. Ning Cheng even integrated his powerful celestial essence and spiritual consciousness into it. It allowed his domain to tear apart the murderous domain enveloping him in just a blink of an eye.

  Shuqiu Hongwen, although an early-stage Eternal cultivator, couldn’t even put up half-a-bit of resistance in the face of Ning Cheng’s domain.

  “Hiss Hiss…” Shuqiu Hongwen’s expressions changed significantly.

  He had already taken killing Ning Cheng as something granted. Moreover, he had even used his trump card. But despite that, he could see and sense Ning Cheng’s domain utterly crushing his domain. Furthermore, he couldn’t even put up a shred of resistance.

  The black blade shadows that had sealed off Ning Cheng’s escape routes also disintegrated in the next moment. They couldn’t even touch Ning Cheng’s body at all.

  No

  , this fellow was most likely a late-stage Eternal powerhouse.

  Shuqiu Hongwen had just thought of this when he decided to escape. However, it might have been easy for him to rush up, but it wouldn’t be easy for him to leave.

  The space around him seemed to stagnate, and even his breathing became difficult. Before he could scream, a huge fist slammed into his chest. He couldn’t even must up half-a-point of resistance, and could only watch the incoming fist strike his chest.

  At this moment, he felt deeply regretful. He hated the fact that he acted out in pure arrogance. He should have first taken out an attack weapon, or at least a defensive weapon, and then take action against Ning Cheng.

  But would taking out a weapon even work against someone like Ning Cheng?

  The moment Ning Cheng’s fist slammed into his chest, endless spear intent came pouring in and raged through his meridians. At the same time, he also heard Ning Cheng’s words. ‘

  Even if I let you bombard me, you can’t hurt even half of my hair.’

  Ning Cheng’s truly wasn’t bragging. His Starry Sky Body’s strength had already reached the peak of middle-level. Therefore, even if Shuqiu Hongwen had caught him unprepared, it would have only injured him a little, and that was the best-case scenario. If he prepared beforehand, then even under constant attacks, he wouldn’t receive even the slightest injury. So, saying that Shuqiu Hongwen couldn’t even hurt half a hair, it was the truth.

  “Bang….” Shuqiu Hongwen spat out several blood arrows, and his body shot out like a meteor punching through the sky.

  In the distance, Zong An’s expressions changed significantly and immediately moved forward to grab and slow Shuqiu Hongwen. At the same time, he realised that his Spirit Devil Island was in big trouble this time.

  “Hurry up, call Elder Brother….” Shuqiu Hongwen kept coughing blood in Zong An’s arms, but he still managed to convey a few things to him during the gaps.

  Chu Xingshan, who stood in the middle of the public square, turned sluggish. He did not expect Ning Cheng to be so overpowering, even stronger than Duan Gantai.

  “Boom….” Only then did the explosion from celestial essence spread out, dispersing towards the public square in all directions. The residual force felt like a hammer blow to the chests for the spectating cultivators.

  The Third Island Master of Spirit Devil Island got blown away by a single punch

  . At this moment, every gaze directed at Ning Cheng had changed. A cultivator at the early-stage Eternal Realm had almost died in a single blow. Within the entire Devil Domain Grand Starry Sky, most likely only Qiao Jierui could do such a thing.

  Who was this person? Why hadn’t they heard about him till now?

  Duan Gantai took a few steps forward and walked towards Chu Xingwen before slapping him once again. Chu Xingshan had already gone into shock on seeing Ning Cheng’s strength. But as a late-stage Life and Death powerhouse, he managed to return to senses the moment Duan Gantai started. However, by that time, he found that a powerful force bound everything in his surroundings.

  He couldn’t escape anywhere and could only watch Duan Gantai’s slap connect to his face once again.

  “Just an ant, yet still daring to call people to block me.” After Duan Gantai’s slap took out a sizable portion of Chu Xingwen’s teeth, he then kicked away Chu Xingwen.

  Zong An, who just managed to catch Shuqiu Hongwen, also managed to stop Chu Xingshan’s fall.

  “Sect Master Ning truly is a powerhouse, coming to my Devil Domain from Culmination to show off.” As these words ended, a Daoist shadow suddenly appeared in the middle of the public square in front of Ash Pagoda Chamber of Commerce.

  “Heavenly Emperor Jierui!”

  ……

  As soon as this person appeared, all noise over the public square disappeared instantly. From this, one could see the status and prestige enjoyed by this person among the people here.

  Ning Cheng and Qiao Jierui never had a cordial relationship anyway. Moreover, this was the Devil Domain, which meant that Qiao Jierui wouldn’t show up here to help him, Ning Cheng.

  Ning Cheng replied in a calm voice, “So what Brother Qiao means is that I should have complied?”

  Qiao Jierui glanced at Zong An and said with a flat tone, “Sect Master Ning is only a guest here. Yet, Sect Master Ning started a fight with the Third Island Master of Spirit Devil Island the moment he arrived. Isn’t this a matter of a guest bullying the master? At least, I Qiao Jierui can’t sit by idly on seeing this, can I?”

  Ning Cheng chuckled, “Heavenly Emperor Jierui sure looks like in high-spirits. If a dog bit your left leg, would you also let it bit your right leg? Did you think that it’s something that I, Ning Cheng, would do? You might do it, but for me, if some dog tried to bite me, I naturally would slap it away.”

  “Yes, yes, Brother Ning said it right. When that dog tried to bite me, I didn’t see the owner come out and say we’re just guests. But now that I’ve beaten the dog, the master comes out right away.” Duan Gantai, on seeing Ning Cheng and Qiao Jierui in conflict with each other, immediately added oil to the fire.

  Qiao Jierui’s complexion darkened, and the killing intent oozing from his body grew thicker.

  But before he could even speak, another voice sounded out, “Seeing Brother Ning here, definitely is a lucky omen for this little sister.”

  “Ah, Junior Apprentice Sister Nine Phoenix. It’s indeed a happy event to see Junior Apprentice Sister Nine Phoenix in this big man’s territory.” Ning Cheng laughed and also taunted Qiao Jierui.

  Qiao Jierui, don’t think of yourself as someone famous, I don’t even fear Chuan Xinlou, so how could I fear someone like you, Qiao Jierui?

  Qiao Jierui’s expressions turned sombre, making him look even more ugly. Although he didn’t know that Ning Cheng’s current cultivation had grown much higher than before, he knew that Ning Cheng wasn’t someone polite with his words. Moreover, he would never fear him just because he was in the Devil Domain. This person had snatched away and carved a territory for himself within Culmination Grand Starry Sky independent of the grand starry sky. Yet, Chuan Xinlou didn’t even dare to speak up. This fact alone spoke volumes of this person’s strength.

  He couldn’t make a move against Ning Cheng, but Qiao Jierui would kill Duan Gantai no matter what. How could he let an unknown Life and Death ant ridicule him in front of everyone?

  At this moment, two more Daoist shadows appeared on the public square.

  Both were at the late-stage Eternal Realm, with almost solid celestial essence. With Ning Cheng’s current cultivation, he could tell that these two people were even more powerful than Spiritual Heaven Sect’s Chen Xingwen.

  “Haha, Ash Pagoda Chamber of Commerce’s Yi Cang greets Sect Master Ning. S
ect Master Ning travelled a long way to reach our home. I hope Sect Master Ning can forgive our Ash Pagoda Chamber of Commerce’s sin of poor reception.” The man on the left spoke enthusiastically to Ning Cheng with cupped fists. However, he had a tall stature and looked extremely strong with an overly muscular frame, giving him a somewhat menacing appearance.

  Ning Cheng casually returned some polite words. In any case, he felt pretty impressed with Yi Cang. He truly didn’t look like the person who would create such weird rules for the auction.

  Yi Cang also didn’t care about Ning Cheng’s attitude, but turned to Duan Gantai and spoke up with cupped fists, “This must be Brother Duan from Butterfly Mountain, right? My Ash Pagoda Chamber of Commerce truly was too slow this time, so this Yi Cang specially came here to apologise to Brother Duan.”

  Ning Cheng had heard in the past that Duan Gantai came from Butterfly Mountain. But he didn’t know anything about this Butterfly Mountain. Looking at Yi Cang’s attitude now, it seems like this Butterfly Mountain had quite some fame. Otherwise, how could a late-stage Eternal cultivator like Yi Cang address someone in the Life and Death Realm as ‘Brother’?

  Hearing that Duan Gantai came from Butterfly Mountain, Qiao Jierui immediately felt surprised. He even forcibly hid his desire to kill him.

  As to the man next to Yi Cang, he was a tall, handsome-looking man with a Confucian scarf on his head. He was the First Island Master Chu Angxiong of Spirit Devil Island.

  Chu Angxiong had just come out when he turned furious on seeing Shuqiu Hongwen taking a beating in full public view. Even his son, Chu Xingshan, suffered a defeat like a pig on a cattle ranch.

  But when he realised the identities of the two people and what had happened, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart. Instead, he turned to Duan Gantai and cupped his fists before speaking up with a warm smile. “Spirit Devil Island’s Chu Angxiong greets this friend. My Spirit Devil Island’s Chu Xingshan inconvenienced this friend at the auction. For this I, Chu Angxiong, personally want to apologise.”

  Chu Angxiong and Yi Cang came together, so Yi Cang had already explained to him what had happened at the auction venue. But despite the politeness in his tone, he felt quite unhappy with Ash Pagoda’s way in handling things at the auction.

  How could a few simple statements erase the humiliation his son had to face in the auction venue?

  But then he saw Qiao Jierui and Yi Jiufeng’s attitude towards Ning Cheng. Moreover, after Yi Cang mentioning that Duan Gantai came from Butterfly Mountain, how could he not understand the situation?

  No wonder the Ash Pagoda Chamber of Commerce didn’t even try stopping them. Both of them had a significant background.

  But Chu Angxiong had guessed a few things wrong. Yi Cang initially didn’t know Ning Cheng and Duan Gantai’s identity during the auction. Only after that incident in the auction venue did Yi Cang investigate their backgrounds.

  “Butterfly Mountain wouldn’t care about this incident, nor would they come forward for me. You don’t have to worry.” Duan Gantai finished and turned around to Ning Cheng, “Brother Ning, this little brother will wait for you at Sandy Street Rest Stop.”

  After saying that, Duan Gantai immediately turned around and disappeared into the crowd in a short while.

  “Sect Master Ning, it was our Spirit Devil Island who’s in the wrong this time. As the First Island Master of Spirit Devil Island, I will take full responsibility for it.” Chu Angxiong had an extremely stubborn personality. Moreover, when did people from his Spirit Devil Island apologise to anyone? But he had no choice but to apologise to both of them. Otherwise, let alone an apology, he would never give a damn about that little ant in Life and Death Realm.

  Spirit Heaven Grand Starry Sky’s Yi Jiufeng addressed Ning Cheng as ‘Brother Ning’ while even Qiao Jierui showed restraint in facing Ning Cheng. He knew that no matter the strength of his Spirit Devil Island, it could never reach a level anywhere close to these two people.

  What other choice did he have in such a situation?

  Ning Cheng had already noticed the suppressed killing intent in Chu Angxiong’s tone. But he didn’t care and still spoke with an indifferent tone. “No need for an apology. If the First Island Master thinks that the matter is over, then let’s forget it. If not, then I live on Mysterious Yellow Celestial River’s Jiangzhou Star.”

  Ning Cheng then greeted Yi Jiufeng and quickly left to find Duan Gantai. He had still not accomplished the primary purpose of coming to this place. Duan Gantai had taken away the Starry Sky Radish Grass, so how could Ning Cheng let it go? As for Spirit Devil Island, he didn’t care about any of them. If the people of Spirit Devil Island dared to come to his Jiangzhou Star, then he wouldn’t mind paying a visit to Spirit Devil Island.

  Qiao Jierui looked at Ning Cheng’s disappearing figure, but his face still looked ugly. Even if he wanted to fight against Ning Cheng, he couldn’t do it here. However, Ning Cheng dared to leave the Jiangzhou Star alone and came to the Devil Domain.

  Was he tired of living? Or did he come here with Yi Jiufeng?

  ……

  Sandy Street Rest Stop was of a much higher grade compared to Ning Cheng’s current rest stop. When Ning Cheng arrived, he saw Duan Gantai already waiting for him.

  “I knew Brother Ning would be here on time. Otherwise, I would have already left Devil Domain a long time ago.” Duan Gantai said with a smile.

  Ning Cheng casually activated the room’s restriction before sitting down. “Brother Duan, if you agree, I can start on refining the pill immediately. If you don’t agree, I will leave immediately. Let’s not talk any nonsense anymore.”

  Duan Gantai laughed and said with a casual tone. “I naturally agree with Brother Ning starting on refining the pill immediately. But how good is Brother Ning? How many pills can you refine? How will we distribute it?”

  Ning Cheng didn’t answer Duan Gantai’s questions directly. Instead, he said, “Refining the Eternal Emperor Continuance Pill requires seven main spirit grasses and about a hundred auxiliary ingredients. So, before we talk about distributing the finished pills, I’d like to ask Brother Duan, how many auxiliary starry sky spirit grasses do you have? If we don’t have enough, then Brother Duan might have to wait for the pills.”

  From Duan Gantai’s tone, Ning Cheng understood that he looked down on his alchemy.

  “It doesn’t matter how many ingredients the Eternal Emperor Continuance Pill requires. I’m sure we can find them without much effort. But my Starry Sky Radish Grass isn’t something easy to find. If Brother Ning’s refinement fails, you won’t lose too much, but I, on the other hand, would suffer a major loss.” Duan Gantai knew it full well that if Ning Cheng had obtained the Starry Sky Radish Grass, he would never come to find him for cooperation.

  Moreover, from the beginning to the end, he did not plan on cooperating with Ning Cheng. As for looking at Ning Cheng to help him in refining pills, he wouldn’t do it even if he turned into an idiot. On the other hand, Ning Cheng had no other choice but to help him in refining those pills, even if it meant suffering humiliation. He waited for Ning Cheng to come here because of the Temple of Time, not for the medicinal pill.

  Ning Cheng hesitated for a short while before speaking, “Brother Duan, it isn’t the first time we have cooperated. I believe in Brother Duan, but if Brother Duan doesn’t believe me, let’s make another deal.”

  Duan Gantai waved his hand, “Brother Ning, let’s not talk about deals. I know that you have high attainments in Alchemy, and I also know that you used those Accordance Heavenly Pills to get my attention. It might disappoint Brother Ning, but I have to think long and hard about refining those pills. So let’s leave that for now and discuss how to go into the Temple of
Time.”

  Ning Cheng’s expressions turned a little hard to look at, and he remained silent for a minute or two before speaking. “If Brother Duan fears that I would waste the Starry Sky Radish Grass, I can put down some star veins as collateral for Brother Duan.”

  Hearing Ning Cheng mention giving some star veins to him, Duan Gantai felt moved and immediately replied. “Even if you pressure me with some star veins, how can I let materialistic things come between Brother Ning and my friendship? Besides, Star veins are an essential cultivation resource. I can’t just let Brother Ning give it to me. Maybe……”

  Duan Gantai hesitated before saying. “If Brother Ning can take out and put the Perpetual Moon Time Key in my care, I can agree to let Brother Ning refine pills.”

  Ning Cheng sneered internally. When he sent the second Perpetual Moon Time Key, he already prepared for the possibility of Duan Gantai raising this matter. The only accident was that someone else ended up purchasing the second Perpetual Moon Time Key. But this accident also made it easier for Ning Cheng to implement his plan. Otherwise, with Duan Gantai’s cunningness, if he agreed to place the three Perpetual Moon Time Keys on Duan Gantai, Duan Gantai would immediately grow suspicious.

  With everything that just transpired, he truly didn’t plan all of it in vain.

  This fellow finally came forward with this proposal.

  In truth, Duan Gantai didn’t expect Ning Cheng to agree to it. He believed that Ning Cheng’s shrewd personality wouldn’t allow him to agree to this deal. It’s just that he and Ning Cheng had another partnership, which he used as an excuse to push it off.

  But Duan Gantai didn’t expect that after he made the request, Ning Cheng would sit there in silent contemplation.

  Was this a trick? Ning Cheng hadn’t turned into an idiot, did he?

  Duan Gantai couldn’t truly confirm his suspicions. But he also understood that people would have a hard time refusing Eternal Emperor Continuance Pills. Duan Gantai suppressed his surprise and spoke with a casual voice. “It wouldn’t make much sense whether the Perpetual Moon Time Key was on me or not. After all, someone else purchased the second Perpetual Moon Time Key, and now I don’t even know who bought it. I’m afraid I would have to bother Ash Pagoda Chamber of Commerce’s Lord Yi Cang for it.”
