âMaster Xu, what are you doing?â Gong Weiyi quickly reacted and subconsciously protected Gao Jian.
He looked at Xu Ning with dissatisfaction, but his rationality made him restrain himself.
âXu Ning, whatâs wrong?â
Zhang He was also a little serious. He knew Xu Ning well, so he knew that Xu Ning was not the kind of person who would bully others.
âAsk him.â
Xu Ning stared at Gao Jian coldly. âWho exactly are you?â
âMaster Xu, this is my beloved disciple Gao JianâŠâ
Gong Weiyi was confused.
However, while he was defending Gao Jian, Gao Jian had a strange look on his face.
Gao Jian then laughed.
âAmazing!â
After Gao Jian praised Xu Ning, his nervousness disappeared, and it was replaced by arrogance.
âYou are only in the core transformation realm, but you can already sense my true state. Truly amazing!â The smile on Gao Jianâs face disappeared, and a murderous intent began to appear. âGao Jian, no, you are not Gao Jian!
are
Gong Weiyi also noticed the abnormality.
The aura of his beloved disciple began to rise, and his appearance also changed.
In the blink of an eye, Gao Jianâs handsome face turned into a feminine man.
The aura on his body was no longer in the astral qi realm and instead, it made Gong Weiyi and Zhang He feel pressured.
Gong Weiyi and Zhang He were shocked. âWho are you and why are you here? Where is my disciple Gao Jian?â
Gong Weiyi pulled the stunned disciple Chu Shan over and asked the feminine man.
His mind was still in a state of shock.
âI wanted to spare your lives, but now that my identity is exposed, I can only be ruthless!â
A gust of air spread out from the feminine manâs body, blowing up the entire carriage.
Gong Weiyi and Zhang He were also repelled with blood flowing out of their mouths.
Especially Gong Weiyi, in order to protect his disciple Chu Shan, his internal organs were seriously injured.
At the same time, this gust of air also overturned the surrounding carriages and the soldiers of the mansion.
In just a moment, the group that was returning to the city fell into chaos.
âHuh?â
The feminine man noticed that Xu Ning, who had first discovered his identity, was standing not far away and was staring straight at him.
There seemed to be a look of eagerness in his eyes.
He seemed to be provoking him.
This offended the feminine man.
This was a provocation from a core transformation realm master to an elementary origin realm master.
âIt seems that you still donât know how powerful an elementary origin realm master who has comprehended the power of origin is!â The feminine man raised his palm.
Then, a white light flashed above everyoneâs head.
A pure white sword apparition suddenly rushed down towards Xu Ningâs head.
âXu Ning, be careful!â
After sensing the terrifying aura of the pure white sword apparition, Zhang He quickly reminded.
Zhang He felt that he would be killed in one blow under that pure white sword.
However, Xu Ning remained calm. Just when the pure white sword apparition was about to pierce through Xu Ningâs skull, a Void Beast phantom suddenly appeared behind Xu Ning. The Void Beast roared.
In an instant, the space above Xu Ningâs head was twisted, and the pure white sword apparition instantly shattered.
âSuch a strong origin technique!?â
The feminine manâs pupils shrank.
His origin technique had been blocked by the opponentâs origin technique.
Seeing this, the feminine man immediately put away his previous contempt, looking as though he was facing a great enemy.
âVoid Walk Beast Phantom, Night Weaver!â
Immediately after, another demon beast phantom appeared behind Xu Ning.
This time, it was the Night Beast.
The feminine man suddenly felt his vision go dark.
This was not visual darkness, but the kind of darkness that sucked away all perception.
âNot good!â
The feminine man panicked and quickly activated his only trace of origin power, wanting to break free from this state.
However, just when he was trying his best to escape from the endless darkness, the Flowing Cloud Piercer had already arrived in front of
him.
Pfft!
The Flowing Cloud Piercer pierced through the feminine manâs head.
Boom!
The power stored in the Flowing Cloud Piercer exploded.
The feminine man died on the spot.
âIs this my current strengthâŠâ
Xu Ning killed the elementary origin realm master in front of him in a matter of seconds.
He didnât expect this.
Xu Ning knew that he had the strength to kill enemies above his realm, but Xu Ning still felt that it was unreal.
Although this was partly due to the opponentâs underestimation of his strength and the surprising effect of the bloodline power of the Void Beast and the Night Beast, this still couldnât cover Xu Ningâs truly high combat power. âXu NingâŠâ Zhang He saw the feminine manâs head explode in front of him. Looking at the scene, he still hadnât recovered from the huge impact.
Gong Weiyi felt his brain buzzing. This had exceeded his martial arts knowledge.
The female disciple behind him, Chu Shan, looked at Xu Ning with burning respect and admiration.
That was an elementary origin realm master!
He was killed by a core transformation realm master in such a short time.
At this moment, some people still didnât know what was going on.
Xu Ning walked next to the feminine man and searched his body.
âAura Concealment Ring!â
Soon, Xu Ning found a ring on the feminine manâs finger.
Although the design of this Aura Concealment Ring was different from Xu Ningâs, after checking it, he found that its activation mechanism was exactly the same as his own.
âThis elementary origin realm master is from the Hidden Sect!
Xu Ning immediately determined this personâs identity.
After all, the Aura Concealment Ring in Xu Ningâs hand was also obtained from the hands of the Hidden Sect.
âXu Ning!â
After a while, Zhang He woke up from his stupor.
He quickly got up and walked to Xu Ningâs side.
âWhatâs going on?â
Zhang He quickly asked. âThis person is from the Hidden Sect.â
Xu Ning said, âHe disguised himself as a disciple of the Shock Sect.â
âThisâŠâ Zhang He instantly realized the seriousness of the situation.
The purpose of the Hidden Sect infiltrating the Shock Sect to enter the city at this period of time was obvious.
This was definitely a scheme to hurt Duan Chaofeng.
âWhat?â
At this moment, Gong Weiyi also walked over.
When he heard Xu Ningâs words, he was shocked.
Gong Weiyi had no time to think about where his true disciple Gao Jian had gone.
He knew very well that if Xu Ning had not discovered and killed this person, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Once this person hurt Duan Chaofeng, even if they found out that he was not from the Shock Sect, the Shock Sect would suffer severe consequences because of his mistakes.
Forget about whether they could survive, the sect might not even be able to survive this blunder.
The fury of the Duan royal family would definitely implicate him and the Shock Sect.
âI have to report this quickly!â
Zhang He said.
Xu Ning nodded. âWhat a shameâŠâ
If Xu Ning knew that he was only this strong, he would have spared this personâs life just now.
That way, he could have interrogated him for some useful information.
Xu Ning searched the feminine manâs body and found a storage ring. Xu Ning checked and found that there were some resources stored inside, which were worth less than 5 million units of energy. After checking the contents of the storage ring, if there were no suspicious resources, Xu Ning could put it in his bag.
âSect Master Gong, you were too careless.â Zhang He turned his head. His attitude towards Gong Weiyi had changed.
âYesâŠâ
Gong Weiyi smiled bitterly.
âCome with us to see His Highness. As for the people from the Shock Sect, donât go into the city just yet.â
Zhang He said.
Afterwards, Xu Ning, Zhang He, and Gong Weiyi rushed to the Harmony King Mansion in the city.
âThereâs such a thing?â
In the study, Duan Chaofeng looked at Xu Ning and the other two with a black face.
Xu Ning and the other two had already explained the situation to Duan Chaofeng.
Duan Chaofeng, who was about to inherit the position of the Harmony King, had been in high spirits recently, but when he heard that someone from the Hidden Sect might be secretly plotting against him, Duan Chaofengâs mood was completely ruined.
âYour Highness, now that the people of the Hidden Sect are appearing more and more frequently in State Wansheng, many evil deeds are being committed everyday. They must be planning something for them to appear here.â
âSince one person can sneak into the sect and approach you through the participation ceremony, then it is possible that there are others lurking in the dark. There might be other spies from the Hidden Sect among the other guests who came to the city a few days ago. If they sneak into the ceremony, then your safety will be difficult to guarantee.â Zhang He explained his analysis with much consideration.
âThatâs right.â
Duan Chaofeng agreed. âWe have to investigate and pull out the hidden dangers.â
âYour Highness, if we want to solve this matter quickly, not only do we have to borrow the power of the mansion, but also the power of the Imperial Court. We should send this news to Lord State Overseer and ask him to use the Imperial Courtâs forces to investigate the people of the Hidden Sect.â
Zhang He added.
âYes, that should be the case.â
Duan Zhaofeng said, âThe various factions of the Imperial Court are also increasing their efforts to eliminate the Hidden Sect.â
âZhang He, Iâll leave this matter to you.â
Duan Chaofeng said.
âYes.â
With that, Zhang He turned around and left.
âYour Highness, because of my negligence, you were almost in danger. Please punish me.â
At this moment, Gong Weiyi said.
âItâs not your fault.â
Duan Chaofeng did not blame him. âItâs normal for you to not be able to defend against an elementary origin realm master. You donât have to feel too ashamed.â
âThank you, Your Highness.â
Gong Weiyi was relieved. He knew that he had avoided this calamity.
âBut you, Xu NingâŠâ
Duan Chaofeng looked at Xu Ning, and his words were cut off mid-sentence. It seemed like there was no need to praise him. This was not the first time Xu Ning had done this.
Although this time, it was a massive difference, because a core transformation realm had killed an elementary origin realm.
