After Ning Cheng interrupted Yu Baihong’s words, he could not find any way to turn the topic around. This caused the atmosphere to quickly solidify.
“Haha.” Chen Xingwen laughed, immediately easing up the frozen atmosphere. He understood Yu Baihong’s meaning, but he didn’t care much about Yu Baihong’s flattery. Besides, him introducing his two disciples had nothing to do with Yu Baihong anyway.
“Sect Master Ning can set foot on the 81st floor of Celestial Scryer Tower. It’s an unprecedented result, I don’t think there would be anyone else. It hasn’t been many years since Sect Master Ning boarded the tower, yet now you not only are a Sect Master, but also an Eternal-level expert. I have to say, I’ve never admired anyone this much. In fact, Sect Master Ning is the first person I admire.” Chen Xingwen praised Ning Cheng enthusiastically.
Chen Xingwen could not accurately gauge Ning Cheng’s cultivation. However, he heard that sometimes Ning Cheng did not have a celestial wheel, and sometimes one could see a faint celestial wheel behind him. But even if he assumed that Ning Cheng had a celestial wheel, Ning Cheng’s celestial wheel appeared fuzzy to him. Yet Ning Cheng made friends with Striking Order and even roped in the starry skies’ Pill Emperor Cang Caihe. He even made Chuan Xinlou feel fear. It meant that Ning Cheng’s cultivation had reached their level. Therefore, he always thought of Ning Cheng as an Eternal-level powerhouse.
Ning Cheng remained calm, and even though Chen Xingwen praised him, he didn’t even bother with it and didn’t show any other reaction. Besides, he really didn’t like Chen Xingwen’s hypocrisy. If Chen Xingwen had really admired him, he wouldn’t have come to Covered Snow City with Chuan Xinlou to instigate trouble.
Xiao Chunan looked at Xiao Yu in shock. After a few breaths, she whispered to Xiao Yu, “Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Yu. Is this Sect Master Ning really Jiangzhou’s Wanderer, the same Wanderer who reached the 81st floor of Celestial Scryer Tower?”
She had long since idolised this Jiangzhou’s Wanderer and even wished to have a face-to-face exchange with this Wanderer. She had made several trips to the Celestial Scryer Tower, so she knew how difficult it was to climb to the top of the Celestial Scryer Tower. Because of this, her idolisation had already turned into a sort of obsession about Jiangzhou’s Wanderer. She wanted to uncover this person’s identity, to find who was this amazing.
However, her accomplishments still couldn’t reach that point. Besides, she didn’t like gossiping and remained in secluded cultivation most of the time. So, whether it was Ning Cheng or Jiangzhou’s Wanderer, she wasn’t too clear about the details.
Xiao Yu had an inexplicable feeling in his heart. If Ning Cheng was also in Heaven’s Mandate Realm, he might have even challenged Ning Cheng right now. But Ning Cheng was an Eternal-level expert, someone he didn’t even have the qualifications to talk to or even feel jealous.
Now that Xiao Chunan asked, he could only nod and said, “Yes, he is Jiangzhou’s Wanderer.”
Xiao Chunan’s eyes immediately lit up and stared at Ning Cheng in front of him from top to bottom. In fact, she felt quite exhilarated. This person not only reached the 81st floor of Celestial Scryer Tower but had also become an Eternal-level expert. Such a genius had never appeared in the entire Culmination Starry Sky, nor had she ever heard of someone like Ning Cheng.
Chen Xingwen didn’t seem to care about Ning Cheng’s indifference but still spoke with a smile, “Sect Master Ning doesn’t seem to have a Dao Companion yet. Although Chunan might be weaker, she’s almost on the verge of reaching Heaven Seated……”
Chen Xingwen didn’t complete his words, but everyone understood what Chen Xingwen meant. That is, Chen Xingwen wanted to bring Xiao Chunan and Ning Cheng together. He wanted Xiao Chunan to become Dao Companions with Ning Cheng.
Yu Baihong secretly cursed at himself. Ning Cheng came here for Yu Qing, which meant that he obviously had a close relationship with Yu Qing. Maybe Yu Qing had already become Ning Cheng’s Dao Companion.
Why didn’t he think of finding a woman from the Yu Clan to replace Yu Qing and instead said something that made Ning Cheng unhappy?
Xiao Chunan indeed was a beautiful woman, with first-class qualifications. But Yu Clan’s women were also not too bad. Moreover, Yu Clan’s men have always been quite handsome. At the same time, their women were also considered the cream of the crop. They were famous throughout Culmination Starland for their beauty. It’s a pity that Chen Xingwen took a step before him. At this time, he simply couldn’t say the same things as Chen Xingwen.
Xiao Chunan also felt stunned. She didn’t expect her Sect Master would suddenly introduce a Dao Companion to her. Besides, if she had known that Ning Cheng was Jiangzhou’s Wanderer, she wouldn’t hesitate to refuse. Even if her Sect Master proposed it, she would have prepared some excuse to reject it. But now, she couldn’t figure out whether to refuse or try to get closer to this Sect Master Ning.
The name Jiangzhou’s Wanderer had been in her mind for many years. Now, this person appeared in front of her eyes, but her Sect Master suddenly proposed something ludicrous. The huge impact made her unable to make any decision in a short time.
Ning Cheng just gave a bland reply, “Many thanks, Sect Master Chen, for the trouble. But I already have a wife.”
“We’ve arrived at the Water Prison.” Yu Baihong quickly spoke up after Ning Cheng’s reply. After that, he then called out, “Someone, open this damned Water Prison for me.”
Yu Baihong felt angry right now. No one had come here in advance to take care of Shen Mengyan. He had thought that he wouldn’t have to bother with such a thing. After Yu Clan saw his attitude with Ning Cheng, someone should have already released her in advance. In fact, not only did no one come in before, no one had even opened the door of this Water Prison.
Yu Clan’s experts usually stayed in secluded cultivation. Yet, they had all come out under Ning Cheng’s imposing manner. But he also understood why no one came forward. Yu Xingsheng used to be the one responsible for places like Water Prison. But because Ning Cheng got rid of Yu Xingsheng so quickly, the people of Yu Clan couldn’t adapt to the change in such a short time.
“No need.” Ning Cheng gave a cold snort and immediately punched out.
The restrictions covering this Water Prison were much weaker than the ones outside. Therefore, Ning Cheng only needed one punch to smash them apart.
Yu Baihong’s had an ugly expression over his face, Ning Cheng simply didn’t give him even a shred of respect. But then again since Ning Cheng could obliterate Yu Clan Corner’s Defensive Array Formations, why would he care about a Water Prison? So, at this moment, he could only hide his ugly expressions.
Ning Cheng stepped into the Water Prison. Yu Clan’s Water Prison did not hold many people, so Ning Cheng did not hold back his Spiritual Consciousness Blades inside this place. In just a short while, the Spiritual Consciousness Restrictions within the Water Prison made several clicking-like noises as Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness Blades cut through each of them.
Every cultivator from the Yu Clan felt anger rising. Still, since even Yu Baihong felt afraid of speaking, so even if they felt even more hatred, no one dared to stand up and point out Ning Cheng’s wrongdoings.
Chen Xingwen’s face, however, remained calm. No one could see the embarrassment he felt from Ning Cheng’s rejection.
Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness went all the way to the end. But in just a few breaths, his expressions immediately changed. His figure flashed and disappeared from the entrance.
In the deepest part of the Water Prison, a white-haired woman lay shackled to a brown wooden post. Moreover, the water around her exuded a pungent odour that made people nauseated. The woman’s knees were all submerged in water, and one could see her bones in the water from afar.
The head of this woman sagged below her shoulders with white hair covering her face. But Ning Cheng’s spiritual consciousness instantly recognised her. This person most likely was Shen Mengyan.
<
br /> She looked almost 90% like Yu Qing. At this time, Shen Mengyan had blood stains covering her body, except for her white bones submerged in water. At the same time, what was left of her robes hung loosely to her body like a rag.
Yu Baihong and Chen Xingwen, who followed Ning Cheng inside, also saw this scene, and it instantly contorted Yu Baihong’s face. He didn’t expect Yu Xingxian to go to such extremes despite daring to imprison Shen Mengyan in the Water Prison. If he knew this, then even if Ning Cheng hadn’t come, he would never have allowed Yu Xingxian to bring Shen Mengyan here, let alone torture her. In any case, Shen Mengyan was still a core member of Yu Clan’s Corner.
Ning Cheng rushed over before raising his hands and shooting out a long trail of Flame Blade.
His Celestial River Flame had already advanced to Starry Sky Grade 5 Flame, which allowed it to easily split apart Shen Mengyan’s chains. Ning Cheng carefully caught Shen Mengyan, took out a piece of clothing and put it over Shen Mengyan’s body. Finished with that, he then immediately punched out.
“Boom….” The brown pillar that had sealed Shen Mengyan directly turned to powder under Ning Cheng’s punch. However, Ning Cheng didn’t stop there. He kept throwing out punch after punch. It felt like he wanted to destroy the foundations of this water prison, and each blow created continuously rumbling noises.
Just before finishing the task, Ning Cheng also sent Sisi and Ai Ku, along with the several other prisoners within the Water Prison outside.
Everyone understood Ning Cheng’s intent. Seeing those actions, Chen Xingwen only shook his head and took his two disciples before flying out of the water prison.
Yu Baihong now looked as if he had aged by a few decades, but he also could only withdraw from the water prison in silence. He understood what Ning Cheng meant; that is, he wanted to obliterate this place.
With all the people leaving, this water prison, which had remained in existence for god-knows how long, finally crumbled into ruins under Ning Cheng.
“Sect Master Ning, this is my Yu Clan’s misfortune. I didn’t expect Yu Xingxian and Yu Xingsheng to be so brave….” Yu Baihong immediately came forward and spoke up with an anxiety-filled voice and cupped fists.
Ning Cheng only looked at Yu Baihong with a cold gaze before speaking with an indifferent voice, “Do you think your Yu Clan’s Corner can still exist after this? You really think too highly of yourself.”
Yu Baihong immediately felt a chill pass through his body. In fact, this chill emanated from the deepest recesses of his heart.

How many generations and how much energy had it taken to build this Yu Clan’s Corner?
Everyone understood from Ning Cheng’s words that he intended to completely eradicate Yu Clan’s Corner along with the water prison. Without Yu Clan’s Corner, Yu Clan’s power would shrink to less than half. At that point, even if Ning Cheng didn’t kill any member of the Yu Clan, Yu Clan would no longer have the qualifications to stay within Culmination Starland.
Leaving Culmination Starland would result in complete annihilation considering their reputation.
Could they rely on their sole Eternal-level expert?
It would be even more of a joke. He was not as strong as Ning Cheng to grab just any planet. At that point, Yu Clan would immediately collapse and disintegrate, dissipating into the endless starry skies.
“Aunt Yan….” When Sisi saw Shen Mengyan’s miserable appearance, she quickly rushed over to hold Shen Mengyan.
Shen Mengyan might have been Yu Qing’s biological mother, but Sisi also considered Shen Mengyan as her mother. Even Ai Ku kept wiping his tears silently on one side.
Yu Baihong knew that it was already too late to say anything at this time. He simply took out a jade bottle and said, “Sect Master Ning, this contains a Golden Crow Purging Void Pill. It can help Shen Mengyan wake up as soon as possible.”
Golden Crow Purging Void Pill was a Starry Sky Grade 7 Healing Pill and something useful for even Eternal-level experts. As such, it was also considered a top-grade healing pill. Moreover, in the starry skies, there were only a few Pill Emperors who could refine Grade 7 Medicinal Pills. This meant that it wasn’t an easy thing for Yu Baihong to take out this Golden Crow Purging Void Pill.
Chen Xingwen suddenly spoke up from the side. “Sect Master Ning is a Starry Sky Grade 8 Pill Emperor. And Mysterious Yellow Sect’s Deputy Sect Master Cang Caihe is a Starry Sky Grade 9 Pill Emperor. Brother Yu, you can put away your medicinal pill, Sect Master Ning would definitely have better medicinal pills.”
Ning Cheng naturally wouldn’t take the Golden Crow Purging Void Pill. Instead, he looked at Yu Baihong and said with an indifferent voice, “I’m going to heal Aunt Yan now. As for the fate of Yu Clan’s Corner, I’ll let her decide.”
After finishing, Ning Cheng said to Sisi, “Sisi, come with me.”
Seeing Ning Cheng bring out a cave abode before going in, Yu Baihong felt relieved. If Shen Mengyan woke up, he felt somewhat confident that she would at least put in a word to Ning Cheng to spare Yu Clan’s Corner from destruction out of her old feelings. In any case, what he felt more anxious was Ning Cheng immediately starting, without giving Shen Mengyan any chance to plead.
Chen Xingwen, on seeing Ning Cheng go inside, passed along a message to Xiao Chunan. “Chunan, this Sect Master Ning used to be a rogue cultivator. Yet, he still managed to reach such an extraordinary level in cultivation today. Master wanted to find you a reliable person, so I purposefully didn’t tell you in advance. I hope you don’t blame your master for this.”
Xiao Chunan quickly replied, “This disciple does not dare. But this disciple believes that she can advance to the Eternal Realm in the future without relying on anyone. Nor do I necessarily have to care about others.”
Chen Xingwen sighed in his heart. If Ning Cheng was just an ordinary Eternal cultivator, he wouldn’t have even thought about it. But Ning Cheng was not an ordinary Eternal Cultivator, but an Eternal expert who even Chuan Xinlou feared. Since even Chuan Xinlou feared this person, then naturally he also felt the same. One had to know that he was a powerhouse at the late-stage Eternal Realm. Therefore, even Chuan Xinlou had to give him some face within Culmination Starry Sky.
……
Ning Cheng took Sisi into the cave he took out and placed Shen Mengyan flat on the bed. He then took out a few medicinal pills and carefully put them in Shen Mengyan’s mouth.
Sisi’s eyes went red and asked with some concerned, “Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, Aunt Yan seems to be seriously injured.”
Ning Cheng consoled her, “Sisi, you don’t have to worry about it. I have a few things that can help heal Aunt Yan’s injuries. Don’t worry, Aunt Yan will be fine.”
Shen Mengyan’s essence spirit and celestial essence were all under a seal. However, the poison toxins had already seeped into her essence spirit, loosening the seal. Moreover, her corporeal body was also on the verge to collapse.
This deadly soul toxin that eroded one’s essence spirit was not something ordinary cultivators could resolve. However, Ning Cheng had the Rootless Green Bamboo leaf, as well as the First Glimmer of Dawn Ice Essence along with many Starry Sky Grade 7 and Grade 8 healing pills. As such, it wasn’t too challenging to heal Shen Mengyan.
The medicinal pills that Ning Cheng put into Shen Mengyan’s mouth soon started to kick in, and layers and layers of filth started to ooze out from Shen Mengyan’s body. Shen Mengyan’s currently dark skin began to gradually turn back to normal. Even Sisi could feel Shen Mengyan’s aura strengthening.
After Shen Mengyan’s aura started to stabilise, Ning Cheng took out a Rootless Green Bamboo leaf. Then, with a drop of First Glimmer of Dawn Ice Essence, he put it into Shen Mengyan’s mouth. He then said to Si
si, “Sisi, take care of Aunt Yan inside and wait for Aunt Yan to wake up. Once she wakes up, she might need some help.”
Shen Mengyan suffered some severe injuries, and even her essence spirit felt unstable. Even if Ning Cheng used many treasures on her, it wouldn’t heal everything in one go. Only after removing all toxins from Shen Mengyan’s essence spirit, could he then use his Origin Aura to help Shen Mengyan stabilise.
If Shen Mengyan wasn’t Yu Qing’s mother, Ning Cheng probably would have done it himself. Although he had nothing to do with Yu Qing, in Ning Cheng’s mind, he had already started to regard Shen Mengyan as a senior deserving his respect. Moreover, if Ning Cheng wanted to heal her with his Origin Aura, it would involve close contact with Shen Mengyan’s naked body. Something he didn’t feel as appropriate.
……
Shen Mengyan opened her eyes and the first thing she was Sisi. She even thought that she was still in the Water Prison and asked in shock, “Sisi, why did you come in….”
Fortunately, Shen Mengyan quickly realised that this was not the water prison, but an actual room. She had no clothes on, and cakes of dirt and filth covered her naked body. At the same time, she also noticed Sisi slowly cleaning her up.
“Aunt Yan, you woke up …” Sisi called out in surprise. Ning Cheng truly helped Aunt Yan wake up.
“This is not the water prison, my legs….” Shen Mengyan knew that the Essence Spirit Toxin within the water had already corroded her legs. Moreover, she also knew that it was almost impossible to recover from the toxins that affect one’s essence spirit after eroding through the corporeal body. Even for Eternal-level experts, without the help of top-grade treasures, they wouldn’t be able to restore corroded limbs quickly.
“Sisi, did you save me?” Shen Mengyan finally understood something.
Sisi wiped her swollen red eyes and spoke, “Aunt Yan, I didn’t save you. I’m practically useless with too low cultivation to be of any use. It was Senior Apprentice Brother Ning Cheng, Senior Apprentice Brother Ning saved you….”
