The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

by Demon Translations

  Two cultivators softly conversed with each other about heading into the Void to search for Black Essence Stones; however, Ning Cheng could easily overhear them. These words jolted Ning Cheng within his mind.

  That’s right.

  Since Ning Cheng knew that he had already provoked the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce the moment he entered the Rootless Black City, then it definitely was not a trivial matter. As long as he proceeded with this objective, he along with Ji Luofei and Yi Zhuzhu would have nowhere to hide inside the Rootless Black City, let alone leaving the Rootless Black City in the future. If that was the case, why should he take the initiative to knock on the doors of the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce?

  He knew that the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce would not coexist under the same sky as him; since that was the case, then it would be better for them to come looking for him unlike him going to look for them. He had already pissed off the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce after levelling the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce’s Rest Stop at the Receiving Heaven’s Stone. Once the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce’s Association Head returned along with the pack of experts who followed him out, how could he not take the initiative to find trouble with him?

  As long as the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce’s people took the initiative to come to his place to cause trouble, everything would then be a lot easier. With his Array Formation accomplishments, along with those powerful Array Formations that he laid out, even if ten Crucible Transformation Cultivators arrived, along with one or two Plundering Life Realm Cultivators, it still would not be enough to take him down.

  What made Ning Cheng slightly worried, however, was that he did not know when the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce’ people would return. If they did not return even after another six months, what should he do then?

  Ning Cheng did not consider himself a ‘gentleman’. For him, the faster he could obtain his revenge, the better would it be. The Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce and the Rootless Black City’s Junior City Master had forced Yan Ji into the Void. With her life and death unknown, why would he choose to remain patient?

  At this time, another cultivator replied, “But it’s too far away, and many of them haven’t come back.”

  The cultivator persuading him spoke up in a slightly disdainful voice, “That place was found by Junior City Master Xu. Also, Junior City Master Xu was the one who requested to form the teams. At the same time, Junior City Master Xu was also the last to leave the Rootless Black City half a year ago before returning recently. I estimate that he would only remain in the Rootless Black City for a few days before heading out once again. Otherwise, they would not have announced about forming such a large group before even physically returning to the city.”

  When Ning Cheng heard this, he felt his heart move. He quickly asked them, “The two friends, I just overheard you saying something about forming a team, is Junior City Master really back?”

  “Of course, you can take a look at the information on the third Array Formation Display. Junior City Master Xu, along with the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce’s Association Head Pu Leng and the others who left half a year ago, finally returned. The reason for their return is because of the emergence of a massive Black Essence Stone Mine……” The cultivator glanced at Ning Cheng. Finding that Ning Cheng was just a late stage Sea Opening Realm Cultivator, he spoke out in a not very polite but detailed voice.

  Ning Cheng then immediately looked up and saw an announcement on the third Array Formation Display. Not only was Junior City Master Xu Liangzhi looking for a team, but even the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce’s Association Head Pu Leng was also looking for people to form a group.

  According to the information displayed, they seemed to have found a vast Black Essence Stone Mine in the Void. These warranted the need of many cultivators working together to dig out the Black Essence Stones. All of the registered cultivators can keep 50% of the share of what they dug out with them while the rest of the 50% would go to the person who initiated the formation of the team.

  The information on the Array Formation Display also showed that Pu Leng and Xu Liangzhi have only recently entered the Rootless Black City.

  “Junior City Master Xu has just entered the city. This time, to team up with many others Junior City Master Xu definitely will be coming to the Trade Union.” A cultivator looked at the Communication Pearl in his hands and spoke from the side. Hearing this, several other cultivators who were still hesitating immediately expressed their intentions to sign themselves up and participate in this team.

  Ning Cheng felt considerably startled in his heart and quickly rushed out of the Trade Union. Since this Junior City Master Xu Liangzhi returned, then the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce’s Association Head Pu Leng would have also returned. With Pu Leng’s abilities, he should have already realised that he had extinguished the Silver Thunder Rest Stop at the Receiving Heaven’s Stone.

  Since the other party knew about this matter and still chose to form a team, it showed that this person did not take him seriously. In other words, Pu Leng’s first thing on returning to the Rootless Black City would not be to go to the headquarters of the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce but to come to his residence to destroy him.

  Because his opponent thought that it would be easy to kill him, he went ahead to continue assembling a team to head out.

  Thinking of this, Ning Cheng immediately increased his pace.

  In just half an hour, Ning Cheng returned to his residence. Ji Luofei was not in cultivation. Apparently, she was waiting for him; as for Yi Zhuzhu, she also was not in cultivation.

  “What about Ruolan?” As soon as Ning Cheng returned, Ji Luofei asked out eagerly.

  “We can talk about Ruolan later. I just received news that the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce’s Association Head Pu Leng is back. Since I razed the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce’s Rest Stop at the Receiving Heaven’s Stone, I’m sure that once that Association Head comes back, the first thing he would do would be to head straight for us.” Ning Cheng explained.

  Ji Luofei did not speak anything. Since Ning Cheng had already said that he had no plans of escaping, it explained that Ning Cheng has his own means to deal with the situation. However, after Yi Zhuzhu heard Ning Cheng’s words, her face turned pale white, while her body trembled. The Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce not only left injuries to her body and soul, but those tortures also left deep scars on the deepest parts of her Spiritual Soul that were extremely hard to erase. Therefore, when Ning Cheng spoke about this matter, Yi Zhuzhu’s heart immediately filled with panic.

  “Zhuzhu, you don’t have to be scared of them. This is my domain. I promise that if he comes here, he would never be able to return alive.” Ning Cheng gently ruffled Yi Zhuzhu’s head and tried to comfort her with soft words.

  Initially, he was still wondering when the Association Head and his accompanying experts from the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce would return; however, he never expected that they would appear this early. Since the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce’s experts returned early, then it was even better than what he had planned initially. He stayed inside his residence without leaving, waiting for the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce’s Association Head and others to visit him to make his move.

  As long as the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce’s people took the initiative, he would be able to counter-kill those people who had the intention to kill him. Once he had enough reason, then combined with the strength he displayed, even the Rootless Black City’s City Master wouldn’t dare to reprimand him publicly.

  His Array Formations covered every inch of his courtyard, so he was not afraid of anyone trying to barge into this place unnoticed. What’s more, as long as he took the higher moral ground, even the Rootless Black City’s City Master would not dare to act on him, unless the other side really could erase him at any time.

  “Luofei, I’ll be the one to lure those people into our
Array Formation. When it’s time for battle, I’ll keep them occupied. You intuitively activate the Killing Formation to lend a hand. I’m going to arrange a Killing Formation now.”

  Ning Cheng had just dropped a few Array Flags after speaking those words when several powerful Spiritual Consciousnesses swept over. Among them, Ning Cheng felt two Spiritual Consciousnesses that exceeded his own. Ning Cheng himself was very clear about the strength of his Spiritual Consciousness. Even a cultivator at the Crucible Transformation 9th Level might not surpass him regarding his Spiritual Consciousness’ power.

  Now that he encountered two cultivators whose Spiritual Consciousness exceeded him, Ning Cheng didn’t even need to ask but instinctively knew that these two were within the Plundering Life Realm. Moreover, one of them probably belonged to Pu Leng.

  “Luofei, those people came. Prepare to cut off the enemy’s retreat and annihilate them.” Although the opposite party had two cultivators in the Plundering Life Realm, Ning Cheng did not fear them. As long as those people entered this place, he felt confident enough to eliminate them. After that, he could then proceed to completely decimate the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce in an above-board manner.

  Eleven powerful auras rushed into the North City District, before arriving at the location of Ning Cheng’s Immortal Cave. The cultivators living in the vicinity, on sensing the incoming cultivators’ aura, withdrew every scrap of their Spiritual Consciousnesses. They did not dare to sweep out lest it offended them.

  At this time, every cultivator in the vicinity couldn’t help but wonder why there were so many powerful cultivators coming to this corner of the North City District? This place was one of the most unremarkable areas of the Rootless Black City. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for any person of status to waste their time in this place. What’s more, there were even two Plundering Life Realm experts among the incoming strong ones.

  The reason soon came out. The 11 strong auras surrounded an Immortal Cave with a courtyard; moreover, everyone also knew that someone had just recently moved into this Immortal Cave. The other residents gave out a sigh at the new resident’s lousy luck. Although these experts were not targeting them, no one wanted to be patronised by such strong entities. Even if they were just visiting their neighbours, it made them feel insecure.

  With so many experts coming to this place, the patrolling guards in this location not only did not increase, if fact, even the occasional patrolling guard had also disappeared without a trace. Apparently, these patrolling guards knew who these incoming people were and were not willing to offend them.

  Ning Cheng on finding these many experts coming for him felt somewhat puzzled; it was reasonable to say that the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce would not attach so much importance to him.

  This kind of line-up would almost be enough to wipe out the entire Yi Xing Mainland. As 9 of the 11 experts were at the late stages of the Crucible Transformation Realm while the other two were cultivators in the Plundering Life Realm.

  Ning Cheng quickly understood why this was the case. After these cultivators arrived, they did not immediately attack his Immortal Cave; instead, they started to arrange an Array Formation. In just a short time, a Concealment Array Formation sprang up around them.

  Seeing the other party’s actions, Ning Cheng secretly sneered in his heart. These people were just helping him bury their heads in the sand. The entire world knew that they came to this place to extinguish him, yet these fellows decided to try to cover up their act. To others, using this kind of cover up would be meaningless; however, to the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce, this covering up still had some use. That is, it would prevent investigative eyes.

  Ning Cheng took out a crystal ball and recorded everything these people did. Thinking that these 11 people would soon end up dead in the coming future, he also did not intend to block them from arranging a Concealment Array Formation. Ning Cheng, anyway, also needed this Array Formation. That way, he could covertly kill these people away from prying eyes.

  Among the Array Formation Masters that came here, the highest one was only at the Tier 6 Array Formation Grand Master. This showed that it was impossible for the other party to see the Concealed Array Formation that he had laid out previously.

  ….

  “Association Head, I can easily go in and get out. It’s just a cultivator at the trivial Sea Opening Realm.” Among the cultivators standing outside the courtyard of Ning Cheng’s Immortal Cave, a longhaired man with a bizarre appearance spoke up.

  The man addressed as ‘Association Head’ was none other than Pu Leng of the Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce. Pu Leng possessed a very tall stature, with a height upwards of two meters. On hearing the words of this longhaired man, he gave a smile before speaking up, “No, let’s go in together. This little Sea Opening Realm Cultivator is not simple at all. He levelled out my Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce’s Rest Stop on the Receiving Heaven’s Stone and even dared to enter the Rootless Black City. I don’t know if he is fearless or ignorant, or does he intend to depend on the skills of a Tier 6 Array Formation Grand Master. It really makes me want to meet him and see if he really has three heads and six arms as the people say.”

  Pu Leng gave the surroundings a cursory glance; he could clearly see that the outside of Ning Cheng’s Immortal Cave contained a Rank 6 Defensive Array.

  “Boom…..” After Pu Leng spoke those words, his fist immediately shot out.

  His already massive fist rolled into a barely visible Fist Shadow as it descended onto the Rank 6 Defensive Array Formation arranged by Ning Cheng, immediately shaking up this Rank 6 Defensive Array. With a ‘Ka’ sound, this Rank 6 Defensive Array started cracking apart. It could not even block a single punch from Pu Leng.

  Not waiting for Pu Leng to continue, another Crucible Transformation 9th Level Cultivator kicked out with his leg. With a resounding crash, the Rank 6 Defensive Array finally could not endure the onslaught against the kick and punch before finally exploding apart.

  With that, Pu Leng and the other walked into Ning Cheng’s courtyard within the Immortal Cave. They found Ning Cheng and Ji Luofei calmly staring at them from the middle of the yard.

  “Your courage truly is not small at all; not only did you kill my Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce’s Goukang Yeshan, you even razed my Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce’s Rest Stop at the Receiving Heaven’s Stone. Yet, you even dared to stay inside the Rootless Black City.” Pu Leng spoke as his cold gaze fell on Ning Cheng. He did not expect Ning Cheng to be so young. Not only that, Ning Cheng indeed was a Sea Opening Realm Cultivator. He had previously suspected that Ning Cheng actually was not a Sea Opening Cultivator but a Crucible Transformation Cultivator under concealment.

  Ning Cheng did not speak. He immersed himself in calculating the best time to activate his Rank 7 Trap Kill Array Formation and the Rank 8 Killing Formation, and if he had to use his Maximal Flame Spiritual Technique. He had anyway decided to kill all the 11 people who entered his premises in one go.

  “Let me see what are you capable of, daring to look down on my Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce….”

  Pu Leng had not yet finished his words when Ning Cheng instantly sent Ji Luofei a sound transmission, “Start. At the ‘Heaven’ position……”

  Ji Luofei had long since prepared herself. The moment Ning Cheng’s sound transmission arrived she immediately stimulated the Array Flag in her hand. The Rank 7 Trap Kill Formation was a full rank higher compared to a Rank 6 Array Formation; didn’t that also mean that its superiority was also a whole level higher?

  Almost at the same time as Ji Luofei started, Ning Cheng also raised both his hands. Suddenly, the brightly lit cent
ral courtyard turned dark as many killing lights materialised out of thin air from all sides before shooting forward arbitrarily. This time, not to mention normal vision, even when using one’s Spiritual Consciousness, everything appeared vague. The ones trapped inside could not make out the surrounding scenery, nor could they hear even the slightest sound.

  “Not good, it a Rank 7 Trap Kill Array. Don’t panic and follow my actions…..” The Tier 6 Array Formation Grand Master with them spoke only a few words before his words abruptly cut off. He understood that this was not just a Rank 7 Trap Kill Array, but it even included many Illusionary Array Formations, forming into a chained Rank 7 Trap Kill Formation.

  Pu Leng turned surprised when his surroundings turned vague; however, he also soon realised that he had stepped into a Rank 7 Trap Kill Formation.

  If a Rank 7 Trap Kill Formation had no one presiding over it, he could eventually break through it with his strength. However, currently not only did it possess a controller, but there was also an auxiliary support person.

  Despite this, Pu Leng still did not feel afraid. He was someone who had experienced many storms and waves in his life. Not to say about a Rank 7 Trap Kill Formation, even if it was a Rank 8 Trap Kill Formation, so what? Besides, he did not come to this place alone today. He immediately gathered his True Essence and shouted, “Before everyone starts, make sure that there are no one around; if not, then do your best……”

  Pu Leng’s words suddenly paused. He discovered that there was no way to transmit his voice. There was even an Audio Masking Array Formation in this place.

  If it were just an Audio Masking Array Formation, Pu Leng would not have felt worried in his heart. However, he was inside a Rank 7 Trap Kill Formation, with countless Blade Lights attacking him from all the sides. These attacks could not harm him for the time being, but they also prevented him from quickly breaking apart this Array Formation.
