Chapter 358: Teaching Xin Wuyao a Lesson
With Chu Ning's spiritual sense, he could sense the activity a hundred miles away.
"Xin Wuyao is still in the late Golden Core stage and hasn't reached the Yuan Ying stage yet.
Sister Gu has also reached the pseudo-core realm, and with some opportunity, she might be able to form a core.
I didn't expect her master, Zhong Shishu, whom I've only met once, to have already broken through to the Golden Core stage."
As Chu Ning mused to himself, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Zi Yin, come up!"
He enlarged the Eight Trigrams Flying Wheel as he spoke.
Once Cen Zi Yin stood on it, they swiftly flew towards their destination.
...
"Sect Master, why do you have to be so ruthless?"
As soon as Xin Wuyao finished speaking, Zhong Ying's expression changed slightly, and she immediately activated a fiery red shield in front of her.
Xin Wuyao remained silent and waved his hand, sending forth a wave of light that resembled a white wave, attacking directly.
Although Zhong Ying was a Golden Core cultivator, she was only in the early stages and couldn't compete with Xin Wuyao, who was in the late Golden Core stage.
Even with the aid of a magic treasure, the fiery red shield couldn't withstand the attack, and the protective light around it scattered.
Even her spiritual aura dimmed slightly.
Under the impact, Zhong Ying and Gu Xiaoqing, who was behind her, were forced back several feet.
Seeing this, Xin Wuyao's eyes narrowed further, and he slowly raised his hand to launch another attack.
However, at this moment, he paused, his eyes instinctively glancing to the side, a hint of surprise flashing in them.
Seeing Xin Wuyao's reaction, Zhong Ying and Gu Xiaoqing were both taken aback.
The two glanced at each other, preparing to fly away directly.
At this time, Zhong Ying followed Xin Wuyao's gaze and said to Gu Xiaoqin, "Someone's coming, and they're a Golden Core cultivator."
Zhong Ying paused for a moment, a grave expression on her face.
"It looks like there are two of them, and their cultivation levels are higher than mine."
Before Zhong Ying could finish speaking, a streak of light quickly approached and came into view.
When they saw the two figures standing on the flying wheel, the three of them were initially startled.
Then, their eyes widened involuntarily as they fell on Chu Ning.
"Chu Sidi?"
The one who reacted first was actually Gu Xiaoqing, the one with the lowest cultivation among them.
Her eyes widened as she looked at Chu Ning's face, which had hardly changed in a hundred years, and she exclaimed in disbelief.
Xin Wuyao's expression changed several times, and a hint of surprise slipped into his voice.
"Chu... Chu Ning?"
Chu Ning's eyes swept over the three of them, landing first on Gu Xiaoqing.
Although she had changed quite a bit, Chu Ning recognized her at once.
After all, the two of them had interacted frequently in Yanji Fang, and she had taken good care of him back then.
Chu Ning was undoubtedly very familiar with her.
He smiled slightly and said, "Sister Gu, it's been a long time."
"Are you really Chu Sidi?"
Gu Xiaoqing's eyes widened as she looked at Chu Ning, her eyes still filled with surprise.
"Xiaoqing, don't be impulsive."
Zhong Ying quickly reminded her.
"Chu Daoist friend is now a Golden Core cultivator."
Hearing this, Chu Ning smiled and said,
"Zhong Shishu, Sister Gu took good care of me back then. It's only right for Chu to address her as 'Sister'."
But Zhong Ying shook her head and said, "You're too kind, Chu Daoist friend. I'm not worthy of that title."
Chu Ning didn't insist on the title, and his eyes finally landed on Xin Wuyao.
He said slowly, "Xin Zongzu, it's been a while since we last met."
Xin Wuyao looked at Chu Ning, his expression now calm and filled with smiles.
"Chu Daoist friend, it's been almost a hundred years since we last met. I didn't expect your cultivation to have progressed to the late Golden Core stage. Congratulations!"
Hearing this, Chu Ning smiled lightly.
This Xin Wuyao indeed had a deep scheme, and his acting was very natural. However, the shock in his heart was probably no less than that of Gu Xiaoqin and the others.
In fact, Xin Wuyao's heart was filled with mixed emotions as he looked at Chu Ning.
After Chu Ning had come out of the Wood Spirit Seed Spirit Domain back then, Xin Wuyao had wanted to continue searching for the Wood Spirit Seed and had even considered taking Chu Ning as his disciple.
However, he had only noted down Chu Ning's name without formally accepting him as a disciple.
When the Yin Demon Sect cultivator came to collect Chu Ning and the other disciples who had obtained the Spiritual Essence Qi, Chu Ning had already escaped.
An elder of the Qingxi Sect, whose Golden Core had been destroyed, had used a secret technique to disguise himself as Chu Ning and gone to the Yin Demon Sect.
After finding out about this, Xin Wuyao had specifically searched for Chu Ning in the areas around the Qingxi Sect, but he hadn't found any trace of him.
What Xin Wuyao didn't expect was that nearly a hundred years later, he would see Chu Ning again.
And Chu Ning had become a late Golden Core cultivator, just like him.
Although Chu Ning hadn't reached the peak of the late Golden Core stage like him, it was still enough to shock Xin Wuyao.
Seeing that Chu Ning just smiled and didn't reply, Xin Wuyao's face didn't show much expression, and he continued smiling,
"I don't know where Chu Daoist friend has been cultivating all these years. Did you come to the Qingxia Mountains this time specifically to return to the sect?
"If I'm not mistaken, these two are fellow disciples of the Qingxi Sect. As the leader of a sect, why are you attacking them?"
Hearing this, Xin Wuyao glanced at Chu Ning. "This is an internal matter of my sect. You left the Qingxi Sect many years ago, so this matter has little to do with you."
Chu Ning smiled faintly and turned his gaze to Zhong Ying and Gu Xiaoqing.
"I have no interest in why you're attacking them, but I believe I heard that these two fellow disciples intend to leave. Now, that is something I must involve myself in."
As he spoke, Chu Ning flew out from the Eight Trigrams Flying Wheel. He swiftly flew over to Gu Xiaoqing and Zhong Ying, landing in front of them.
"Zi Yin, take Sister Gu and move farther away," Chu Ning instructed.
Without hesitation, Zhong Ying immediately flew backward with Gu Xiaoqing, landing next to Cen Zi Yin.
Seeing this, Xin Wuyao's expression changed slightly, and he coldly huffed before raising his hand and pressing it toward Chu Ning.
A white palm materialized and rushed toward Chu Ning, aiming to suppress him.
In response, Chu Ning threw a punch.
A golden fist appeared and collided with the white palm. The palm immediately dissipated, but the golden fist only faded slightly before continuing toward Xin Wuyao.
In terms of spiritual power, Chu Ning's depth was by no means inferior to Xin Wuyao's. Moreover, his punch was infused with the power of Geng Metal, which was far beyond what Xin Wuyao's spell could withstand.
Xin Wuyao's expression changed as he felt astonished by Chu Ning's display of power.
Although he hadn't used his full strength with that palm strike, the spell he had cast was one of the top techniques of the Qingxi Sect. Yet, Chu Ning had broken through it with ease, and the force of the golden fist was even stronger.
Despite his surprise, Xin Wuyao's movements were quick. He waved his palms in succession, and it was only after the second palm strike that the golden fist in the air dissipated.
But at that moment, Chu Ning's ten fingers moved rapidly, shooting out ten columns of water.
The speed was far beyond what Xin Wuyao had anticipated. Before he could react fully, the ten columns of water transformed into ten shackles, surrounding him in the middle.
Immediately afterward, vortices appeared, trapping him within.
Xin Wuyao's face paled as he opened his mouth and spat out a white feather fan. He waved it continuously, sending beams of white light toward the vortices.
However, the white light was quickly sucked into the vortices, causing them to grow larger instead of dissipating.
"The Bibo Vortex is most effective against cultivators who practice water and fire-based techniques and spells," Chu Ning explained with a faint smile.
Instead of launching another attack, he flew over to Gu Xiaoqing and Zhong Ying.
"Sister Gu, what's going on? Why are you leaving the sect, and why is Sect Master Xin pursuing you?" Chu Ning asked.
Gu Xiaoqing looked at Chu Ning with a complex expression but didn't directly answer his question. Instead, she sighed and said, "Chu... Chu Ning, it's been many years. I never thought you wouldn't have changed at all. No, that's not right. You're already a late Golden Core cultivator."
"Whether it's me or our Qingxi Sect, everything has changed," Gu Xiaoqing continued with a light sigh. "The current Qingxi Sect is no longer the same as it was before. As for the sect master..."
Gu Xiaoqing paused, a hesitant look on her face.
Seeing her expression, Chu Ning realized that there might be some difficult-to-speak secrets involved. He didn't press her further.
"Hmm?"
At that moment, Chu Ning sensed a strong spiritual power fluctuation coming from the Bibo Vortex.
"Not bad," Chu Ning muttered.
He then moved his fingers, and ten more water columns shot out, reinforcing the vortex.
Just as Chu Ning was about to ask Gu Xiaoqing more questions, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his gaze at the vortex gradually turned cold.
He opened his mouth and spat out a Five Elements Flying Sword.
At the same time, the Bibo Vortex suddenly burst open, turning into droplets of water that fell to the ground and disappeared without a trace.
A figure shrouded in a faint blood mist appeared from within the vortex.
"Blood Devil Dan?"
Chu Ning's eyes widened in surprise at the sight.
"No, it's more like some kind of demonic secret art," he mused to himself.
Without hesitation, he swung the Five Elements Spirit Sword downward.
Having just freed himself, Xin Wuyao sensed the power of the sword and his expression changed drastically.
He had thought that the Bibo Vortex was already Chu Ning's most powerful move, but he never expected that the sword would be even more formidable.
Xin Wuyao gritted his teeth and waved the feather fan in his hand.
A beam of light containing white, black, and red colors shot out from the fan.
The black and red lights seemed to be attached to the white light, creating an incongruous appearance.
"Yin Demon Slash?"
Chu Ning's eyebrows furrowed as he saw the attack. He quickly pinched a seal, and the Five Elements Spirit Sword swiftly descended, slamming into the tri-colored light!
