Chapter 275 Return to State Wansheng
‘I did it!
Xu Ning was relieved when he saw Chu He’s hand and the Blood Amplification Scimitar fall.
Xu Ning had been extremely nervous during the entire process of using the void stone to attack Chu He.
After all, there was only one void stone, and he only had one chance.
If the attack failed, Chu He would immediately counterattack. Not only would he be in danger, but the others would be killed.
“Xu Ning!”
After seeing Xu Ning suddenly appear and cut off Chu He’s hand, Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua couldn’t react for a while.
They didn’t see Xu Ning on the back of the rainbow-colored bird just now, so they thought that Xu Ning had died in the pursuit. However, they didn’t expect him to secretly launch a critical attack.
“Quick, kill this person!”
Dong Ji reacted first.
During his fight with Chu He, Dong Ji had already noticed the uniqueness of the Blood Amplification Scimitar. He knew that in the previous battle, Chu He’s main source of strength was the Blood Amplification Scimitar.
And now that the Blood Amplification Scimitar had left Chu He, Dong Ji also noticed that Chu He’s aura was weak.
This was the best time to fight back.
“Okay!”
Xue Jinghua also reacted. She was previously in despair, but now she was full of fighting spirit.
And at this moment, Chu He himself was still a little confused.
He thought that everything was under his control, but in the blink of an eye, the situation was reversed.
‘It’s over!
Chu He’s mind was blown. Subsequently, he subconsciously wanted to escape. He didn’t even care about his fallen hand or the Blood Amplification Scimitar. However, he was currently in a weakened state. Even though Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua had less than 50% of their strength, it was easy to deal with him. In less than twenty seconds, Chu He was killed by Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua. Originally, Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua wanted to capture Chu He alive. But Chu He seemed to realize that if he was captured and brought back to State Wansheng, his situation would be worse than death.
At the final critical moment, not only did Chu He crush his storage ring, preventing Dong Ji, Xue Jinghua and others from obtaining his treasures, but he also desperately burned his potential. He had no intention of submitting until he died.
“Finally done!”
After seeing Chu He’s death, Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua were relieved. All of their strength seemed to have left their bodies.
The two of them had suffered a huge burden in this fight.
They were already lightly injured, and on top of that, they were also restricted by the Binding Lock. If it weren’t for Xu Ning’s sudden appearance, they would have been killed instead.
Afterwards, Dong Ji found a secret treasure on Chu He’s body.
The secret treasure was a ring, the one that Chu He used to hide his aura and assist his cultivation.
Because of his haste, Chu He did not manage to put it into his storage ring and destroy it in the spatial turbulence.
In addition to this concealing ring, Dong Ji also put away the Blood Amplification Scimitar.
Although they did not obtain any other resources from Chu He, obtaining these two secret treasures was still a gain.
“Your Highness, why are you here?”
Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua also jumped onto Duan Chaofeng’s rainbow-colored bird.
Duan Chaofeng then told the two what they had experienced.
After hearing this, the look in their eyes changed again. They knew very well that Xu Ning’s talent had begun to explode.
“Xu Ning, you have killed and captured a member of the Hidden Sect, which is a great achievement. When you return to State Wansheng and report this to the Imperial Court, you will definitely be rewarded.”
Dong Ji said.
“This is not my work alone, Brother Zhang has also helped out a lot.”
Xu Ning was not greedy for merit.
“Mo Lan also contributed to killing Chu He.”
Duan Chaofeng actually spoke up for Mo Lan at this moment.
Hearing this, Mo Lan was also a little surprised, then she said, “If it weren’t for Xu Ning and Zhang He, the void stone would have been useless in my hands.”
Mo Lan was speaking the truth.
Although she could escape instantly with the help of a void stone, it would be difficult for her to survive in the Endless Sea with her abilities.
Xu Ning heard what she said and was intrigued.
Obviously, Duan Chaofeng’s attitude towards Mo Lan had changed slightly after experiencing life and death together.
However, Xu Ning did not express any attitude towards this.
The destruction of the Swallow Heron Sect was indirectly related to Mo Lan. Although there were no eternal enemies and only eternal benefits, the current Xu Ning obviously couldn’t take the initiative to be friendly with Mo Lan.
“Enough talk, let’s continue our return journey.”
Xue Jinghua took out another sailing dao weapon.
This ship was much smaller than the previous one, but it was relatively more exquisite.
The group boarded the ship.
As the ship was being activated and everyone was preparing to rest, Dong Ji suddenly asked.
“By the way, what about the Hidden Sect member you captured?”
“He has been put into a spatial treasure by His Highness.”
Zhang He responded.
Dong Ji nodded. “When we return, we will send him to the capital. The Imperial Court is very adamant in eliminating the Hidden Sect. Sending a living member there will definitely be very helpful.” “I will personally escort him when that time comes.”
Zhang He took the initiative to speak.
“Also, Your Highness…”
Dong Ji took out the concealing ring and the Blood Amplification Scimitar from Chu He’s body. “How should we deal with these two secret treasures?”
Xue Jinghua and Mo Lan looked at each other without speaking
Strictly speaking, Xue Jinghua should have a share of these two treasures since she had fought with Dong Ji earlier.
However, because Xu Ning was the one who changed the critical situation, and Mo Lan was also protected by Duan Chaofeng’s people, there was no need to fight over two secret treasures.
“Give this ring to Xu Ning.”
Duan Chaofeng muttered to himself for a moment, then said. “For me?”
Xu Ning paused for a moment, but he did not refuse. “Thank you, Your Highness.” Dong Ji handed the concealing ring to Xu Ning. “According to the captured person, this concealing ring is called Aura Concealment. It is a secret treasure forged from a type of crystal with an isolative characteristic. With this Aura Concealment Ring, even if you face an existence of a higher realm, as long as you don’t actively release your aura, you can perfectly hide yourself. Moreover, this Aura Concealment Ring can also be used on people around you.”
After reaching the dao realm, Breath Restraining Pills were basically useless. Because his realm was too high, there were no similar pills that could hide his aura.
Therefore, the effect of the Aura Concealment Ring was extremely precious.
‘In addition to that, this Aura Concealment Ring seems to be able to assist in cultivation. I can test it later…’
Xu Ning accepted the Aura Concealment Ring.
“As for this Blood Amplification Scimitar…”
Duan Chaofeng frowned, as if he didn’t know what to do with it.
“Your Highness, although this scimitar is powerful, I sense a consciousness in it…”
Dong Ji’s expression was a little serious. “This thing is a little dangerous to use…”
“In this case, we can put it away for now. We’ll discuss it after we return to the mansion…”
Duan Chaofeng said.
Afterwards, the group found their own rooms and went back to rest.
Especially Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua, the Binding Lock on their bodies had not disappeared yet.
They had to spend some time getting rid of the binding power on their bodies.
The ship sailed on the Endless Sea.
Two months later, the group of people finally stepped onto State Wansheng after experiencing an arduous journey. ‘We are finally back!’
Xu Ning felt relieved after sensing the familiar spiritual energy of State Wansheng.
This trip overseas took more than half a year.
Although the ultimate goal of this trip, the Night Beast, was not captured, Xu Ning personally had gained a lot.
Not only did he advance his realm, but he also obtained a secret treasure. Even after that, he still had resources left, and he had further improved his relationship with the Harmony Prince.
For Xu Ning, he had gained a lot from this trip.
“Duan Chaofeng.”
When they parted ways, Mo Lan took the initiative to say to Duan Chaofeng, “That Night Beast is extremely strong. It will probably not be easy to capture it again. Why don’t we join forces and send more high level dao realm masters to capture it.”
“A joint capture…”
Duan Chaofeng thought for a moment. “Okay.”
In order to capture the Night Beast, the
armony King Mansion had also paid a huge price. Even Duan Chaofeng himself almost died overseas, so he was quite angry.
However, even if he sent people out to sea again, Duan Chaofeng would not go personally anymore. “Xu Ning.”
Mo Lan looked at Xu Ning. “You have also protected my safety on this trip. If you have the opportunity, you can go to State Luzhi to find me. I will definitely express my gratitude.”
Mo Lan was showing Xu Ning kindness.
“Your Highness, you’re too kind.” Xu Ning responded calmly. Seeing this, Mo Lan felt a little regretful, but she couldn’t say anything.
Afterwards, she and Xue Jinghua rushed back to State Luzhi.
“It’s good to be back.”
After Mo Lan and Xue Jinghua left, Duan Chaofeng sighed. “Return to the mansion!”
“Your Highness.”
Xu Ning said, “I want to go back to the Swallow Heron Sect first. I have been away from the sect for more than half a year, I have to go back and take a look.”
“Sure.”
Duan Chaofeng agreed readily. “Let’s go back to State Guqing first. Once we reach State Guqing, we will part ways.”
Duan Chaofeng’s attitude towards Xu Ning was extremely friendly.
The four of them began their journey back to State Guqing
