Three black beasts were advancing on the wasteland.
"Young Master." Autumn Leaf couldn't help but say," That River He's child holds a great grudge against Young Master. If we let him grow, it'll probably be detrimental to Young Master in the future.”
Ning glanced sideways at Mowu.
"It wasn't Mowu who told me," Autumn Leaf hurriedly said."I knew that Young Master wasn't happy, so after much thought, I still had to tell him.”
Ning sighed."The one I hate is River He, but his child has no grudge against me. If I go and take revenge, why should I harm his son?”
" But when Tribes start a war, they'll usually eliminate the threat…" Autumn Leaf wanted to say something.
"I understand." "Yes." Ning nodded."For the sake of the survival of our tribe…it's understandable that we'll do anything we can! But how can a mere child affect our Ji clan? Our Ji clan has ruled over this land, and we have executed countless people. There are countless people who secretly hate our Ji clan. The reason why our Ji clan is able to rule isn't because we don't offend anyone, but because we are powerful!”
Autumn Leaf was pensive.
"Even if you don't offend anyone, if you're not strong enough, others will still destroy you.”Ning said calmly,"But if he becomes powerful, his enemies will secretly be unwilling, but on the surface, they will still have to show respect. In a hundred years, his descendants will most likely truly submit to our Ji clan.”
"The cultivation of the strong is more important to the heart.”Ning said.
Heart and Heaven! Heaven Man Unity!
Heart comprehending dao, comprehending the true meaning of dao!
Ning understood very well that a cultivator had to be direct to his heart, and the more clear his heart was, the faster he would be able to improve.
"Going against one's heart, one will be troubled, and two, one's cultivation path will stagnate or even regress.”"No," Ning shook his head."I, Ji Ning, will kill anyone I want to kill. I will kill him alone, not his wife and children! This is my heart!"
In his previous life, Ning had been tormented by his illness and had always been alone. People who were alone would get used to thinking, and the more they thought, the more they would become madmen, while others would see through their own hearts and become wise. It was precisely because Ning had seen through his own heart that he had become so calm and open-minded. If he hadn't seen through his own heart in this life of training, how could he have the willpower to continue training every day?
Autumn Leaf and Mowu exchanged a glance.
Heart?
He didn't understand!
"Alright." Ning looked at the two of them, then shook his head."Don't even think about it. Let's go to Serpentwing Lake.”
"Young master, aren't you going to the Blacktooth Tribe? Didn't you say earlier that…you wanted to take care of Spring Grass 'younger brother?”Autumn Leaf asked.
"No rush." Ning shook his head."I'll first make a trip to Serpentwing Lake and kill that Diremonster, Serpentwing. After that, I'll head to the Blacktooth Tribe…the source of this disaster has always been Serpentwing. One of Spring Grass's two younger brothers died at Serpentwing's hands. I'll use Serpentwing's death to comfort Spring Grass, and when the time comes, I'll bring her only younger brother to West Prefecture City.”
"Let's go."
Ning gently tapped the black beast's belly, causing it to instantly increase in speed.
Autumn Leaf and Mowu followed him as well, heading towards Serpentwing Lake.
……
Traveling during the day and resting late at night, even with the black beast's speed and ferocity, it still took them a full three days to reach Serpentwing Lake.
"Greetings, Young Master."
The ten black armored guards knelt down on one knee in unison.
Ning, seated atop his black beast, glanced at them and nodded. At the same time, he instructed,"Mowu, Autumn Leaf, the two of you can rest in this stronghold for the time being. Serpentwing Lake is several dozen kilometers ahead, and I can't take you there. I'll go to Serpentwing Lake by myself."
"Yes." Mowu and Autumn Leaf both replied respectfully.
Ning dismounted from the black beast, then flew off into the distance like a giant bird. In two flashes, he disappeared from the field of vision of the ten black armored guards, Mowu, and Autumn Leaf. This was the first time the ten black armored guards had seen Ning use a movement technique, and they all stared with wide eyes. They couldn't believe it.
Serpentwing Lake was currently a forbidden area.
The Ji clan had also arranged for dozens of scattered teams, each team consisting of ten black armored guards, to be stationed in different directions around Serpentwing Lake, keeping a close watch on Serpentwing.
******
Whoosh whoosh whoosh. Serpentwing Lake was a hundred kilometers in circumference, so vast that one couldn't even see the end of it. Even without wind, such a large lake would still produce three feet of waves.
Ning stood by the shore, staring at Serpentwing Lake. He said softly,"This lake truly is unfathomable. Even if I can control the water, if I were to enter the depths…I'm afraid that my speed would be far inferior to Serpentwing's.”
The deeper they went, the greater the water pressure and the harder it was to control the water.
Human beings couldn't exert ten percent of their power underwater, but water-kind creatures could exert their power beyond normal.
"Although I'm powerful now, compared to peak Xiantian Diremonsters…I'm probably only slightly stronger.”Ning mused to himself. This was after he had trained in the [Windwing Evasion] and gained insights into the true meaning of the Dao. After all, just the power of someone at the fourth stage of the [Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens] was equivalent to the power of a late-stage Xiantian Fiendgod Body Refiner.
Compared to Serpentwing, he was still slightly lacking in terms of strength.
Whoosh!
Ning took a single step forward, moving a kilometer away. Stepping on the surface of the water made him feel as though he was walking on dry land.
"Serpentwing!" Ning suddenly let out a loud shout.
"Serpentwing!" "Serpentwing!" "Serpentwing!" His voice rumbled like thunder, and it quickly spread through the lake to the depths of the lake.
Moments later-
In the depths of the lake, within a deep, curved nest, Serpentwing was curled up in a deep slumber, his enormous scaled wings protecting his body.
"Serpentwing!" A voice was transmitted through the water.
The slumbering Diremonster Serpentwing suddenly opened his crimson eyes.
"What happened?" Serpentwing let out a low growl.”
"Yes."
From outside, some small aquatic creatures were screaming in fear. Although most human beings couldn't understand their language, they could still understand each other.
……
Two black armored guards were currently hiding in the weeds by the side of Serpentwing Lake.
"Serpentwing?"
"Someone is provoking Serpentwing." The two black-armored guards exchanged a look of surprise, then hurriedly looked into the distance. However, they were several dozen kilometers away from Ning, so they couldn't see him at all.
"I'll keep an eye here.”
There were a total of ten-some black armored guards standing guard by Serpentwing Lake. Three of the black armored guards who were standing close to Ning had all seen him. This group of black armored guards had been specially sent here from West Prefecture City; they naturally recognized Ning.
"It's young master Ji Ning."
"Young master Ji Ning has come to provoke Serpentwing? Still, young master Ji Ning was truly formidable. He was able to walk on water as if he were walking on the ground. Just like Commander Ji Yichuan!"
"Don't say anymore. Hurry up and report this matter.”
……
The black armored guards were shocked and quickly sent the news back to their respective teams. However, with their speed, it would probably take them a day to reach the West Prefecture City.
Ning continued to calmly walk on the surface of the vast lake.
Walla ~~
The head of a large green prawn and the head of a large blackfish emerged from the water and looked into the distance.
"Human youth?" The two little demons looked at each other.
Whoosh!
They then stealthily dove deeper into the water, swiftly swimming towards Serpentwing's underwater lair.
"Great King, Great King, there is a human youth on the surface of the water.”The green shrimp monster and the black fish monster both let out low roars.
"Human youth?" Serpentwing's scaled wings spread out, and his crimson eyes stared at the two lesser demons. The two lesser demons trembled and nodded.
"However, this human youth is just like Ji Yichuan when he walks on the surface of the water. The surface of the water doesn't sink at all.”The green shrimp demon said hurriedly. The blackfish demon beside him nodded."Yes, yes, yes."
"Floating water doesn't sink?"
The Diremonster Serpentwing transformed into a black mist, then transformed into a black-robed man.
The black-robed man stood there, his long, narrow eyes filled with doubt. Snakes were suspicious by nature, and he had been hunted down by several Xiantian lifeforms of the Ji clan, often setting up traps for them. He had long since become a frightened bird. Now that a human youth who could walk on water had appeared to provoke him, how could he not be suspicious?
"Have you seen him before?" The man in black looked at the two little demons.
"No, no. We clearly remember the Xiantian lifeforms who came to our Serpentwing Lake. This is a human youth, and definitely not any of the Xiantian lifeforms who came before us.”The green shrimp demon said hurriedly, and the blackfish demon nodded.
The man in black nodded.”
Whoosh!
It quietly scuttled out of the underwater nest's passageway. Although its human form was far slower than its original form in the water, its original form was too big. Once it appeared on the surface of the water, it would definitely cause a huge commotion and be discovered.
"Who is it?" The black-robed man quickly emerged from the water and looked around.
With a glance, he saw a youth dressed in animal skin about a kilometer away. The youth was very delicate and handsome, and he was casually walking on the water. As for the surroundings of this human youth, it was empty. There were no other human experts.
"It's him!"
The black-robed man's long and narrow eyes instantly burst out with a terrifying ferocious light.
Killing intent!
Hatred!
It instantly surged into his mind, causing the surrounding water to tremble.
The distant Ning seemed to sense something as he turned his head to look. He immediately saw him. Although Serpentwing was in human form, Ning was still able to immediately recognize him as Serpentwing.
"Diremonster Serpentwing!" Ning let out a furious roar.
The black-robed man gave Ning a cold glance, then slowly dived back into the water.
"Serpentwing." Ning, however, quickly stepped on the surface of the water and arrived. He stared downwards and barked,"Didn't you want to kill me? Don't you hate me to the bone? Come on, come on…I'll wait for you to kill me right now.”
Deep underwater.
The black-robed man's long, narrow eyes were burning with the flames of rage. He truly, truly, truly desired to be able to charge forward and devour Ning's flesh and blood to his heart's content.
"I was the one who killed that crimson snake.”
"Hahaha, I killed it with a single strike. It's so fragile.”The voices from above continued to ring out, stirring up the fury in Serpentwing's heart.
The black-robed man's body trembled slightly as he suppressed the killing intent in his heart.""We can't rush, we can't rush. If we rush, we'll fall into the Ji clan's trap. Previously, Poisondove Ridge and the Ji clan had only decided to ground me at Serpentwing Lake for a hundred years. At most, the Zifu Disciples at the highest levels of each other would not interfere. However, there's no guarantee that those Xiantian lifeforms might make a move against me.”
The humans and demons fought fiercely.
However, there was a taboo boundary, which was that the true leaders of both sides would not bully the weak. That Zifu Disciple old monster wouldn't attack, and the Zifu Disciples of the Ji clan wouldn't attack either.
After all, the Purple Prefecture Realm was the foundation.
Once Purple Prefecture Realm experts fought each other and died, the foundation of the tribe would be shaken. Be it humans or demons, they did not want to shake each other's foundations.
"Ji Ning's surroundings are completely empty, with no one around.”The black-robed man's eyes flickered with a vicious light."But how could he possibly come here to die? His father, Ji Yichuan, and some other Xiantian lifeforms are probably nearby, using some sort of concealment formation to hide. Once I charge out, I'm afraid I'll be instantly surrounded.”
