The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

  While speaking, Shui Wuchang took another look at Ning Cheng. “After I confirmed that it was indeed the Wood Origin Bead, I wanted to crush the jade card immediately. To ask you to come over and discuss the terms directly with him. Unexpectedly, because he opened the jade box without precautions, the Wood Origin Bead’s Origin Aura overflowed. It attracted Yi Cang’s, the master of Ash Pagoda Chamber of Commerce, attention.”

  “Yi Cang didn’t even glance at me when he barged into my house and grabbed the Wood Origin Bead. At that time, I could only say that he wanted to put this Wood Origin Bead in Ash Pagoda Chamber of Commerce’s auction. However, Yi Cang didn’t put the Wood Origin Bead away. Instead, he said it was up to him to decide. After that, he put away the Wood Origin Bead, grabbed that Tie Clan’s disciple and left my residence, and went to the auction house.”

  Ning Cheng vaguely guessed at what might have happened afterwards. Most likely, by the time Yi Cang returned to the auction house, the cultivators chasing after the Wood Origin Bead also arrived at Silent Bubble Starland. As a result, this cultivator rushed into the auction house and killed Yi Cang and the vice-head before snatching the Wood Origin Bead.

  Sure enough, Shui Wuchang continued. “I didn’t know if Lord Yi Cang wanted to put down the Wood Origin Bead as an auction item or not. So, I immediately decided to leave the Silent Bubble Starland and send you the message. But I hadn’t yet left the Silent Bubble Starland when I heard waves of celestial essence explosions. Hearing those sounds, I knew that both Lord Yi Cang and the deputy lord had most likely perished and that the Wood Origin Bead also should have disappeared. If I guessed it correctly, the Wood Origin Bead shouldn’t have been taken away by any of those Heavenly Emperors.”

  “So those Heavenly Emperors didn’t fight with the person who came to snatch the Wood Origin Bead?” Ning Cheng asked again.

  Shui Wuchang nodded, “Levelled Heart Heavenly Emperor and the others had just arrived in Returning Capital Starry Sky City. But by the time they got here, that person had already taken away everything. Maybe that person felt afraid of facing those Heavenly Emperors together and ran away without wanting to stay in Returning Capital.”

  Ning Cheng finally understood the cause and effect of the incident. Chuan Xinlou had already arrived at the Devil Domain, which meant he most likely came here to discuss a collaboration with Qiao Jierui to deal with him. But that didn’t seem right either. Even if these two wanted to plot against him, there was no guarantee that Zhangkang Tianji and Yi Jiufeng would agree to deal with him.

  “Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, there’s one more thing that I want to tell you. I had taken a look at the Wood Origin Bead, but it looked like a broken bead.” Shui Wuchang carefully spoke up.

  “You said that the Wood Origin Bead was a broken one?” Ning Cheng felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

  Could he use a broken bead to complete his Mysterious Yellow Bead? Was it possible?

  Shui Wuchang nodded with affirmation, “Yes, I’m sure that it was a broken bead.”

  Ning Cheng remained silent for a while. But he quickly decided to put this matter aside for now and focus on obtaining that Wood Origin Bead. As he thought about it, he turned to Shui Wuchang and said, “Fairy Wuchang, if you don’t want to stay in Devil Domain, you can go to my Stately River Star.”

  Regardless of whether the bead was a broken one or not, Ning Cheng felt grateful towards Shui Wuchang for sending him the message. Therefore, he pro-actively decided to invite Shui Wuchang to his Stately River Star.

  Shui Wuchang quickly spoke up, “Many thanks, Senior Apprentice Brother Ning. But I want to save my father first before going to Stately River Star together with him. My father is still in Mysterious Yellow Starland. If Senior Apprentice Brother Ning plans to head back to Mysterious Yellow Starland, could you please take me with you?”

  “Sect Master Ning, some of us were about to visit your Stately River Star. We didn’t expect you to come to Silent Bubble Starland.” Ning Cheng hadn’t answered Shui Wuchang’s request when Zhangkang Tianji’s voice came from afar.

  Ning Cheng then saw four people, Chuan Xinlou, Qiao Jierui, Zhangkang Tianji and Yi Jiufeng standing near the entrance of Returning Capital Starry Sky City. Most likely, Qiao Jierui received the news about his arrival the moment he came to Silent Bubble Starland.

  Ning Cheng felt even more confused. He knew that at least Yi Jiufeng and Chuan Xinlou did not get along well with each other.

  “Brother Qian, I’m relieved to see you in good health.” Ning Cheng ridiculed Qiao Jierui and immediately greeted Yi Jiufeng and Zhangkang Tianji with enthusiasm. As for Chuan Xinlou, whether he said anything or not it wouldn’t change anything between them.

  Qiao Jierui’s face remained calm, to the point that no one could make out anything from it. It’s as if he didn’t care about Ning Cheng’s sarcasm.

  “Sect Master Ning, Brother Tianji speaks the truth. If Sect Master Ning had not come here, we would have gone to Stately River Star.” Chuan Xinlou seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness between him and Ning Cheng. One could even regard his tone as that of politeness.

  Yi Jiufeng, on seeing Ning Cheng frown, quickly spoke up, “Let’s go inside and discuss it.”

  ……

  After half-an-incense stick worth of time, the four Heavenly Emperor plus Ning Cheng and Shui Wuchang sat down in the largest meeting hall within Returning Capital Starry Sky City. This site belonged to the Returning Capital City’s City Master; however, Qiao Jierui wasn’t the City Master of Returning Capital Starry Sky City. Yet, if he wanted to use this place, then there naturally wouldn’t be any problems.

  “Has Sect Master Ning heard about the Mysterious Yellow Starland? Did you also come to Returning Capital City because of it?” Chuan Xinlou immediately asked after everyone sat down.

  Ning Cheng replied with a calm voice, “I was passing through this place and happened to meet Fairy Wuchang. Since Fairy Wuchang invited me, I decided to stay in the Returning Capital City for some time.”

  Chuan Xinlou didn’t care about Ning Cheng’s indifference and off-topic answer and spoke up with a calm tone. “Sect Master Ning, I specifically invited Junior Apprentice Sister Nine Phoenix and Heavenly Emperor Tianji to Silent Bubble Starland. It concerns the life and death of our four grand starry skies.”

  Seeing Ning Cheng frown again, Chuan Xinlou explained, “Sect Master Ning must be thinking that I’m exaggerating. But I believe that since Sect Master Ning and Fairy Wuchang came in together, you should have learned about what happened to Mysterious Yellow Starland. Although the Mysterious Yellow Starland does not belong to our four grand starry skies, we’re still part of the same plane. A few years ago, a group of unidentified people suddenly appeared and occupied the Mysterious Yellow Starland.”

  “Arguably, contention over starlands and even large-scale fights are somewhat of a normal matter. But this group is different. This particular group established a huge starry sky city within the Mysterious Yellow Starland. At the same time, they also committed a mass slaughter of cultivators native to Mysterious Yellow Starland. The cultivators of Mysterious Yellow Starland only served one role for them; that is, to build the starry sky city. Once done, their role would end, and those outsiders would kill them. Since such a group took over Mysterious Yellow Starland, who can be sure that they would not target the four grand starry skies in the future?”

  “Moreover, some of them have already come to the Devil Domain. The two leaders of the Ash Pagoda Chamber of Commerce died at their hands. They should have taken away something, but I’m not sure what. If I guessed it correctly, they haven’t attacked my Devil Domain on a large scale yet because they don’t think that the timing is right.” Qiao Jierui continued when Chuan Xinlou stopped.

  Leaving aside personal grudges with Chuan Xinlou and Qiao Jierui, Ning Cheng felt that their concerns weren’t misplaced.

  Seeing Ning Cheng remain silent, Chuan Xinlou spoke up once again. “Sect Master Ning, you and
your sister both are powerful experts. So, we were about to go to your Stately River Star to invite you two before heading over to the Mysterious Yellow Starland together.”

  Ning Cheng pondered over it for a moment before speaking up directly. “I agree to go to Mysterious Yellow Starland. But you guys will have to wait for some time. I need to go back and prepare.”

  Whether or not Chuan Xinlou and the others wanted to go to the Mysterious Yellow Starland, it didn’t matter. But Ning Cheng must go there. He had promised that giant. Now that he advanced to the Eternal Realm and also retrieved the giant’s eye, he had to go and return the favour. Ning Cheng can’t delay such a life-saving grace, as a delay of even a day meant a day more of suffering for the giant.

  As for letting Ning Ruoqing go to the Mysterious Yellow Starland with them, Chuan Xinlou could just forget about it. Since Ning Ruoqing decided to stay in Stately River Star, he would never take Ning Ruoqing to Mysterious Yellow Starland.

  The reason why he mentioned returning to prepare for the trip was not to bring Ning Ruoqing but to explain to Luofei and his sister Ruolan. At the same time, he also had to bring Shen Mengyan to Mysterious Yellow Starland as promised.

  Chuan Xinlou immediately agreed and said, “Okay, we’ll meet here again in two months and go to the Mysterious Yellow Starland together.”

  Devil Domain was the closest to the Mysterious Yellow Starland, so choosing to meet at Silent Bubble Starland was simply according to the principle of proximity.

  Besides, among the several people here, only Ning Cheng wanted to go back and prepare. Cultivating for so many years, they all had become accustomed to being away from their places all year round. Therefore, they didn’t have anything particular to prepare.

  But just as Ning Cheng stood up, he felt the area around him shaking. Apart from Shui Wuchang, everyone here was a powerhouse who had gone through countless life and death struggles. Since Ning Cheng felt the space around him shake, the rest of them also naturally sensed it.

  Ning Cheng immediately grabbed Shui Wuchang and pulled her close before bringing out the Everlasting Blue Thunder Fort and flying out.

  “Boom….” A sky-shaking explosion reverberated and the City Master’s Mansion, where they were just sitting a moment ago, transformed into a grey mist. Countless mournful screams also emerged that eventually dissipated along with the grey mist. After a few breaths, when everyone appeared in the sky above the City Master’s Mansion, the previously luxurious and beautiful City Master’s Mansion had already turned into a pile of ashes.

  Within a ten-mile radius around the Returning Capital City Master’s Mansion, except for Ning Cheng, Shui Wuchang and the four Heavenly Emperors, all other living beings had perished. The destruction only left behind huge ravines crisscrossing each other like cobwebs.

  Qiao Jierui trembled with anger. Returning Capital City was the centre of his Devil Domain. Yet, someone had blasted it apart right under his nose. Moreover, the place he was sitting a moment ago was the centre of the explosion.

  A tall man with a head full of red hair and a flat nose stood in the void facing Ning Cheng and the others.

  “Wasn’t it you who killed the President and Vice-President of Ash Pagoda Chamber of Commerce a few days ago? Today you even dared to return and mess with my Devil Domain, who the hell are you?” Qiao Jierui stared at the red-haired man and spoke with a hate-filled voice.

  Ning Cheng looked at the celestial wheel behind this red-haired male cultivator, and his heart sank slightly. He felt sure that this person’s cultivation did not lose out to Chuan Xinlou. Since this person dared to return, it means he had enough confidence to face all of them without the fear of death.

  Regardless of if this person returned to die or not, Ning Cheng felt some anticipation when he thought of the Wood Origin Bead on this person. No matter what happened today, he can’t let this person escape. He had to get that Wood Origin Bead at any cost.

  “Fairy Wuchang, I’ll send you away for now. Pay attention to yourself. I suspect that this person should still have that thing on him. Don’t worry; I will take care of this guy.” After Ning Cheng conveyed the message to Shui Wuchang, he gathered some celestial essence within his palm and moved it slightly. The next moment, the palm immediately whisked away Shui Wuchang to a far-off place.

  Ning Cheng had just sent away Shui Wuchang when he felt something wrong. The red-haired male cultivator raised his hand and unexpectedly shot a black awn towards Shui Wuchang.

  This bastard returned for Shui Wuchang.

  Ning Cheng immediately understood. He didn’t think of anything else and instantly cast a Time Wheel.

  The Time Wheel was one of Ning Cheng’s trump cards, but if he didn’t use the Time Wheel at this moment, he wouldn’t be able to save Shui Wuchang at all. No matter how fast he was, he couldn’t physically catch up with that red-haired male cultivator’s black awl.

  The Time Wheel, wrapped in the Dao Charm of Time, turned into a grey wheel-shadow. The moment the Time Wheel’s shadow formed, it also instantly affected the black awn, forcing it to slow down slightly.

  “Bang……” The grey light-wheel forming the Time Wheel and the black awn collided together and burst into countless specks of black and grey.

  Shui Wuchang felt cold sweat trickling down her body on experiencing such a close shave with death. She immediately speeded up and escaped into the distance. If not for Ning Cheng’s timely help, she couldn’t have avoided that black awn.

  “Huh….” The red-haired man looked at Ning Cheng in surprise. He could tell at a glance that Ning Cheng’s Time Wheel was a spirit technique containing the Laws of Time. Moreover, it was even a violent Laws of Time-related spirit technique. Anything and everything that wandered into its path would face utter annihilation. That was the feeling he got from Ning Cheng’s light wheel.

  How could this place have a cultivator who could comprehend and control such a spirit technique relating to the Laws of Time?

  At this point, the red-haired man understood that he no longer had the chance to attack Shui Wuchang. Therefore, he took a step forward and threw a punch wrapped with the Dao Charm of Space. This time, he targeted Ning Cheng.

  Facing this punch, Ning Cheng felt a powerful spacial suppression around him, which almost wholly suppressed him. He even struggled to breathe. Since this attack produced such a terrifying suppression, Ning Cheng understood that it most likely was a top-grade space-related spirit technique. It contained a power much higher than the five-coloured space that Qiao Jierui had formed to trap him using the Five-coloured Myriad Connecting Banner.

  Ning Cheng frantically stimulated his spiritual consciousness and forcibly blasted out countless spiritual consciousness knife lights.

  Fortunately, the moment that person took action, Chuan Xinlou and the others also started.

  Qiao Jierui’s Five-coloured Myriad Connecting Banner immediately locked the surrounding space. At the same time, Chuan Xinlou brought out his Burning Sky Eroding Sun Pagoda. The moment the pagoda came out, it poured out endless while flames that instantly pounced on the red-haired man.

  Ning Cheng could feel the space controlled by the red-haired loosen a little. From this, he understood that Chuan Xinlou and Qiao Jierui held nothing back and used their most powerful techniques. It took a lot of pressure off him.

  “Boom-Boom-Boom……” Qiao Jierui’s five-coloured space and the red-haired man’s suppressive space spirit technique bombed together. The two different kinds of Dao Charms formed from the Laws of Space exploded, making everyone who heard the explosion to feel very stuffy in their hearts.

  As soon as the pressure on Ning Cheng lightened, his spiritual consciousness blade lights tore through the Laws of Space-rel
ated spirit technique that had suppressed him, and he took a step back. Hearing a burst of ‘clicks’, Ning Cheng understood that the spirit technique of the red-haired man with the flat nose could no longer trap him.

  The moment Ning Cheng retreated, Yi Jiufeng and Zhangkang Tianji stepped up. Yi Jiufeng’s weapon was a Floating Snow 6-9 Mirror, while Zhangkang Tianji used an iron rod to attack. One to restrain and one to attack; the perfect combination.

  Even Ning Cheng thought that the red-haired man would fall here today. He even planned that once this red-haired man fell, he would immediately rush up to grab that person’s storage ring. Otherwise, he would miss out on the Wood Origin Bead.

  Therefore, the moment Ning Cheng broke free from the constraints; he brought out his low-rank spirit artefact, the Celestial Rainbow Purgatory Spear.

  But no one expected that the moment the red-haired man was about to die, the red-haired man’s body would suddenly twist and disappear from the middle of the siege. The moment this happened, everyone’s spiritual consciousness swept out and found that this person had suddenly appeared outside the Returning Capital City. Moreover, the moment he appeared in that location, he rushed out of the Silent Bubble Starland like a shadow.

  Even Chuan Xinlou felt shocked as he looked at that person rushing out from Returning Capital City’s entrance.

  To master the Laws of Space to such a terrifying degree, this red-haired man was just too powerful.
