Of course Yuchi Xiyue wanted revenge; for the sake of revenge, she would be able to sacrifice everything, even her life! This was because her father, Yuchi Mount, had always dreamed of revenge. She was going to fulfill her father’s dream. For the sake of the Yuchi n...she would ensure that their blood debt would be repaid!
But she also knew exactly how powerful the Youngme n was. Ji Ning had, after all, trained for less than a century; how could he be a match for the Youngme n?
“Little brother, don’t go too crazy,” Xiyue said worriedly.
“Cousin, don’t worry; I already have a n,” Ning said confidently. “Although I’m not confident in being able to kill the Celestial Immortals of the Youngme n...I’ll teach them a lesson they’ll never forget.”
Yuchi Xiyue was still very worried. “Are you truly confident?”
“Of course.” Ning nodded.
He already had the power of a supreme Celestial Immortal; he no longer held Patriarch Goldclock and Patriarch Deadwood in any regard. Only Patriarch Infatuation still posed a bit of a threat to him, but despite that, he was now capable of simply standing there and letting Patriarch Infatuation attack as he pleased; his body, now protected by the Fifth Cycle of the [Eight-Nine Arcane Art], wouldn’t care about the blows at all.
In addition, this time, he wouldn’t be ambushed; instead, he was going to challenge them, after having made a plethora of preparations!
“Little brother...don’t be in too much of a rush. We really don’t need to rush it,” Xiyue said hurriedly. “We can wait for a while longer; let’s wait until you grow more powerful. I’ve already waited for so many years; there’s no rush. Little brother, I have no other family members left; I truly do not wish to lose you as well.”
“Cousin, am I the rash, impetuous sort?” Ning asked.
Xiyue was startled.
She thought back through her memories...
Although Ning could be quite berserk at times, he handled every matter in quite apetent manner. For example, when he elected to participate in the Conve of Immortal Destiny, many had believed that given he had only trained for thirty years, he should not attend. But in the end? He became the champion of the Conve!
Last time, he had been ambushed by four mighty Celestial Immortals. He had beenpletely caught off-guard, which was why he had ended up in such a sorry state! And yet...he still didn’t let the Youngme n get what they wanted!
Given that Ning was now making such meticulous ns and preparations, and given that his power had just increased dramatically...he naturally had a fairly high degree of confidence in his ns!
However, there was no such thing as an absolute. Ning wouldn’t dare say that he was 100% confident in his ns. An ancient n like the Youngme n might, for example, suddenly reveal a True Immortal or Empyrean God; at that point, Ning would just stare nkly. Still, based on what Ning knew...the Youngme n shouldn’t have any Pure Yang True Immortals or Empyrean Gods.
“You’ve truly decided?” Xiyue looked at Ning.
“Yes.” Ning nodded. “I’ve juste to let you know, cousin, before I actually carry it all out.”
“Little brother, I truly can no longer see through you. Ever since you returned to the world of the Grand Xia...I’ve been unable to see through you. However...Grandfather spoke truly; you are now very powerful.” Xiyue looked at Ning. Gritting her teeth, a hint of fierceness shed through her eyes as she said, “When you go deal with the Youngme n, I shall go with you!”
“You’lle with me?” Ning was surprised. She was merely a Primal Daoist!
“Little brother, you can go kill the more powerful Immortal cultivators. As for the weaker ones and the mortals...leave all of them to me. In the past, every member of my Yuchi n, men and women, children and elders, cultivators and mortals...they were all ughtered. Not a single one of them escaped the butchery.” Xiyue ground her teeth with hatred. “What they did to my Yuchi n in the past...I’ll repay it unto them!”
“Killing mortals?” Ning shook his head. “No. You are an Immortal cultivator; killing mortals will incur enormous amounts of sin. In addition, the Youngme n has simply far too many nsmen. To kill that many mortals...karmic sinmes would instantly descend from the heavens. Given your level of power, the karmic sinmes would instantly roast you to death.”
Those with a low level of sin would be surrounded by a corrosive sin-aura. Those with a high level of sin would be surrounded by the bloody light of sin. For example, eleven of the Twelve Monster-Kings of the Eastern Flows were all surrounded by the bloody light of sin. If one had an even higher level of sin...karmic sinmes would descend! Ordinary Loose Immortals and Earth Immortals would be immediately roasted to death by the descent of karmic sinmes.
Only truly terrifying demons were capable of surviving within karmic sinmes. His cousin was definitely not strong enough to resist karmic sinmes!
“I have many subordinates. I’ll lead them; in fact, I’ll evenmand arge group of soldiers toe with me.” His cousin gritted her teeth and said, “You kill the strong ones, they can kill the mortals. This was what the Youngme n did!”
“Even so...as themander, a degree of sin will gather around you as well. The Youngme n has millions of Immortal cultivators. As for mortals...they number in the hundreds of millions, at least. It’s hard to say exactly how many of them there are. Countless tiny strands of sin will umte upon you...and you’ll at least have the bloody light of sin covering your body,” Ning said.
His cousin’s eyes werepletely red. “I’m not afraid. I’ve waited far, far too long for this day.”
“There’s no way I can agree.” Ning rose to his feet. “Wait for news from me.”
Swoosh!
Ning soared straight into the air, quickly vanishing from the skies above the imperial capital of the Grand Xia.
Xiyue was momentarily startled. She then let out a fierce, frustrated scream. She wanted to go kill!
Swallow Mountain.
Ning led Uncle White back to Swallow Mountain. He also summoned Little Qing to him, and together they went to Mu Northson’s room.
“Senior apprentice-brother.” Northson looked towards Ning, his body shaking, his eyes bloodshot. “Are we going to the Youngme n now?”
“Of course. Master has waited for this day for a long, long time,” Little Qing said excitedly. “Master...I wish to go as well.”
Ning frowned. “I thought I told you that you are to stay at Swallow Mountain and guard it.”
“Master, look.”
Little Qing’s body flickered. Instantly, a second white-robed Little Qing appeared next to her. Both of them emanated the aura of a Void-level Earth Immortal.
“I know that you have a Primaltwin...eh? Your Primaltwin has be a Void-level Earth Immortal as well?” Ning said with some surprise. He had many treasures; naturally, he wouldn’t be stingy with them with Little Qing and Uncle White. Uncle White hadn’t created a Primaltwin, because the creation of a Primaltwin required the splitting of one’s soul, causing the power of both souls to start off much lower.
Uncle White knew that Ning was going to deal with the Youngme n, and so he wasn’t willing to lower his power. Little Qing, however, was adept at survival to begin with; naturally, she had prepared a Primaltwin long ago. By now, her Primaltwin had also be a Void-level Earth Immortal.
“My Primaltwin can stay here at Swallow Mountain; it’s enough to control the grand formations,” Little Qing said hurriedly. “Master, I’m your spirit-beast. You are going out to do battle; how can I not apany you? In addition, you don’t need to worry about my safety at all; I’m far faster than you when I use a Greater Spatial Teleportation. You have to use Dao-seals, whereas I can use the technique directly.”
Ning nodded. “Fine! However, you must obey my orders.”
“Of course. You are my master,” Little Qing said with a chortle.
“Mm.” Ning nodded, then looked towards Northson. “Junior apprentice-brother, I need to rest a bit. Tomorrow morning, we’ll head to one of the threemanderies the Youngme n controls; Easthill Commandery.”
The Youngme n was even more powerful than the Northmont n; it had three fullmanderies. Thus, their headquarters were divided into three parts as well; or at least, that was what the intelligence reports were able to discover. Every single one of the headquarters took up an enormous amount ofnd, and the number of nsmen numbered in the hundreds of millions! There were more than a million Immortal cultivators in total; this was definitely equivalent to some of thergest ns. Each of the headquarters wasparable in power to the Northmont n’s headquarters in Stillwater Commandery.
Three great headquarters; Ning was only able to choose one.
“Alright.” A savage light shed through Northson’s eyes. “Tomorrow. Fine. Tomorrow, then.”
He looked with a bit of worry towards Ning.
“Senior apprentice-brother, if you aren’t confident in carrying it out, don’t go. Don’t go too crazy just because I want to take revenge.” Northson was worried that Ning was being rash.
“My differences with the Youngme n are as irreconcble as water and fire. I was willing to bide my time and endure it, but the Youngme n refused to give me time,” Ning said. “In the eyes of the Youngme n, I’m a potential threat; they won’t permit me to continue to grow.” The longer Ning lived, the more the Youngme n would worry. After all, Ning’s rate of improvement was simply too fast.
“Right.” Northson nodded lightly.
“Take a rest.” Ningughed, then gently patted Northson on the shoulder. “Get some rest tonight and recover some of your energy. Tomorrow, we’ll truly begin our war against the Youngme n. We’ll be facing an ancient n that has existed for countless years, and all the tricks they have to muster. The number of Immortal cultivators alone is at least more than a million!”
Northson, upon imagining a million cultivators, couldn’t help but feel his heart tremble. Although most likely the vast majority of these cultivators were merely Zifu Disciples...quantity was a quality of its own as well. In addition, this was the headquarters of an entire tribe; it would be surrounded byyers of formations, and even Celestial Immortals who barged in would probably perish. Only Ning, by relying on the Fifth Cycle of the [Eight-Nine Arcane Art], would dare to charge straight in!
“Senior apprentice-brother, you have to be careful.” Northson looked at Ning, filled with worry. Although he was going to fight as well...he had already prepared himself mentally for death! In addition, there was an enormous difference in power between himself and those four Celestial Immortals; thus, the high-level fights would primarily depend on Ning’s power.
“Hahaha...” Ningughed. “Don’t underestimate me, your senior apprentice-brother.”
......
Night. It was as cool as water.
Ning was seated by himself atop the roof, staring dowards the bright moon in the sky.
“Tomorrow, I shall battle against the Youngme n.”
“Father. Mother. Just watch and see. One of the ten most powerful ns of the Grand Xia Dynasty, the Youngme n...I’ll rock them from top to bottom,” Ning said softly. He then took a big gulp out of the gourd of wine he was holding in his hands, letting the wine spill out and dribble across his chest. s...his father and his mother wouldn’t be able to see any of it.
In the past, his father and his mother hadn’t even wanted for him to go deal with Snowdragon Mountain! Snowdragon Mountain had been destroyed years ago. Nowadays, in Ning’s eyes...it was nothing more than a small local sect. Annihtion of such a sect was simplicity itself.
The Youngme n...now that was a truly tough nut to crack!
However, it was nothing more than a tough nut.
Four Celestial Immortals of the Youngme n had acted against him, but hadn’t been able to sessfully do anything to him back then...to say nothing of now!
......
The next day. Dawn.
Ji Ning, Mu Northson, Uncle White, and Little Qing all soared into the skies of Swallow Mountain together.
Two youths, arge snowy-white hound, an azure serpent...this was a gathering that looked quite odd, and it was a gathering that was going to venture forth to deal with the ancient Youngme n! They were going to charge straight into the headquarters of the Youngme n!
“Let’s go.” Ning unleashed his elemental ki, covering everyone with it before performing a void blink.
......
Easthill Commandery. This was an extremely distantmandery that had many mountains and rivers within it. In terms of raw size, it was significantlyrger than Stillwater Commandery.
The Oldjade mountain range was the most important mountain range in Easthill Commandery, because this massive mountain range that stretched nearly a million kilometers was one of the three headquarters of the Youngme n. There were an unfathomable number of Youngme nsmen who lived here, with the number of Immortal cultivators numbering over a million. As for the number of formations and restrictionsid down here over the course of countless eons, that was even more unfathomable.
Whoosh.
Four figures suddenly appeared in midair. Two youths, arge snowy-white hound, and an azure serpent.
