<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Who would have thought that the Demon Lord Duan Qianli would actually be sent back by Ling Buyan like this in the end.
And when he was taking Duan Qianli away, Duan Jisu finally got to meet Ling Buyan as he had wished. Although he only spoke a few words with Ling Buyan, it still made him extremely excited.
Not only did Duan Jisu not conceal the fact that Duan Qianli was thrown away by Ling Buyan, he even spread the news of his encounter with Ling Buyan and Li Fenglan at Miguang Mountain throughout the entire Tianmian Palace shortly after.
Now there were many cultivators in Tianmian Palace, all of whom have come to see Ling Buyan.
However, it was unexpected that even though he had not yet moved Ling Buyan with his sincerity, Duan Jisu was the one who managed to meet the famous Immortal Ancestor first.
As soon as the news of Duan Jisu meeting Ling Buyan spread, those who were still waiting patiently could no longer contain themselves.
Shortly after Duan Jisu and Duan Qianli left, the area outside Miguang Mountain was crowded with people.
Miguang Mountain did not have a barrier, but these people were hesitant to approach.
In Li Fenglan’s impression, Ling Buyan was in seclusion very frequently. For example, during the past few years since his rebirth, Ling Buyan had been in seclusion most of the time.
After sending off Duan Jisu, Ling Buyan returned to the main hall. Li Fenglan couldn’t help but worry that Ling Buyan was still in seclusion due to his spiritual state. However, since Ling Buyan’s seclusion time had been relatively short lately, Li Fenglan didn’t think too much about it.
He stayed on the cliff of Miguang Mountain and began to communicate with the suddenly rebellious Cheng Huang.
Not long after Li Fenglan had finished chatting with Cheng Huang, who had been acting cool, he looked up and saw a crowd of people standing on flying swords not far away.
“This…” He silently took two steps back.
Li Fenglan’s spiritual sense was incredibly powerful, and it naturally encompassed the entire Tianmian Palace. However, he had no interest in what was happening outside of Miguang Mountain, so he retracted his spiritual sense and stopped paying attention to what was happening outside.
At this moment, Li Fenglan was standing under an ancient tree on Miguang Mountain. The midday sun was a bit dazzling, shining on his white clothes and making him appear even more ethereal.
The cultivators not far away saw Li Fenglan, and Li Fenglan naturally saw them.
These people who could come to visit Ling Buyan were all well-known and respectable figures in the cultivation world. This also meant that…they had all known Li Fuyue thousands of years ago.
Many of them were even old acquaintances of Li Fenglan from before.
The truth was now revealed.
When they saw Li Fenglan again, and their gazes met, the people who had come enthusiastically to visit Ling Buyan all showed embarrassed expressions.
They knew that the cultivation world had been wrong before, but when they saw Li Fenglan again, no one knew how to face him.
But unlike these embarrassed people, Li Fenglan simply glanced at them indifferently and planned to leave with Cheng Huang. It was at this moment that Ling Buyan slowly pushed open the door of the main hall of Miguang Mountain, still dressed in black and looking at those people with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
Seeing Ling Buyan coming, Li Fenglan didn’t hesitate and went forward.
But just at this moment, someone suddenly called out to him.
“Fenglan!”
Li Fenglan’s footsteps couldn’t help but pause. This voice sounded familiar.
In the next moment, Li Fenglan remembered who it was that had called out to him.
Ning Qingmo.
Li Fenglan’s former friend.
Of the people waiting outside Miguang Mountain, nine out of ten had come to see Ling Buyan, and Ning Qingmo was the only one who had come for Li Fenglan.
Although he recognized the owner of the voice, Li Fenglan continued walking forward without hesitation.
However, before Li Fenglan had taken a few steps forward, there was suddenly a sound of gasps behind him.
The outside of Miguang Mountain immediately quieted down.
Li Fenglan did not use his spiritual sense to observe what was happening behind him, but his intuition told him that whatever was happening now was probably related to himself and Ning Qingmo.
Should he take a look?
This thought only appeared for a moment, and in the next moment, Li Fenglan lowered his head and intended to continue walking forward.
He had completely lost interest in Ning Qingmo, and no matter what he had to say, Li Fenglan had no intention of listening.
However, something unexpected happened!
Just as Li Fenglan was walking forward, Cheng Huang suddenly “betrayed” his master.
After recognizing that the person who had suddenly appeared was Ning Qingmo, Cheng Huang suddenly remembered something – a thousand years ago, when Li Fenglan had carried him and sought refuge with Ning Qingmo, the latter not only deceived Li Fenglan with his lofty morals, but even lifted Cheng Huang up and threw him to the ground while Li Fenglan was unconscious.
For Cheng Huang, this was the most aggrieved he had ever been in both his past and present lives!
Li Fenglan had just taken a step when he heard two “hehe” sounds in his ear.
Li Fenglan: ?
What was going on? He turned his head and saw that Cheng Huang had suddenly turned his head and looked at Ning Qingmo, and then spoke in an extremely cold but childish voice: “Why are you calling, why are you calling?”
Cheng Huang’s body was still in an underage state, and his voice sounded like a human child under the age of ten.
Hearing this kind of voice say these words, it sounded somewhat funny. However, when one thought about its identity, no one at the scene could laugh.
Cheng Huang continued, “Do you think you have the right to call Li Fenglan’s name?”
Li Fenglan: …
Li Fenglan didn’t want to talk to Ning Qingmo anymore, but he didn’t expect Cheng Huang to argue with him.
In fact, after Cheng Huang finished speaking, he secretly regretted it – his voice was still too young, if it were his old appearance and voice, he would definitely be able to intimidate these people.
“Get on, let’s go. No need to say anything more to him,” Li Fenglan interrupted Cheng Huang.
But from the corner of his eye, Cheng Huang saw that at the same time as his words fell, Ning Qingmo, who had only just bowed to him in the distance, stepped onto Miguang Mountain and gradually knelt down facing them.
Kneeling?
Cheng Huang couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction.
At the same time, Li Fenglan finally turned around and looked coldly at Ning Qingmo after seeing his action. All the cultivators behind him showed a look of astonishment when they saw Ning Qingmo’s gesture.
“Get up,” he said in a low voice, “I cannot bear Immortal Ning’s kneeling.”
At this point, Li Fenglan felt utterly annoyed. These people had all wanted to kill him a thousand years ago, and now they were kneeling here?
So everyone thought that kneeling could solve all the problems?
If that were the case, then kneeling was really the cheapest thing in the world.
Although Li Fenglan had said so earlier, Ning Qingmo still didn’t move. It was only at this moment that Li Fenglan noticed that, as a sound cultivator, Ning Qingmo had not brought his pipa with him.
He was kneeling here alone.
Ning Qingmo shook his head and said, “Fenglan, I have made countless mistakes in this life, but there is only one thing I regret.”
“Regret?” Li Fenglan repeated softly.
It turned out that even someone like Ning Qingmo could feel regret.
Just as Ning Qingmo was speaking, the spiritual energy around Miguang Mountain suddenly became chaotic. Seeing this, Li Fenglan couldn’t help but frown, and then he looked back at Ning Qingmo’s position once again.
At this moment, a faint cyan light radiated from Ning Qingmo’s body, and his long hair danced in the wind.
“Hey, what’s going on?” Even Cheng Huang didn’t understand what was happening.
And in the next moment, Li Fenglan suddenly realized that Ning Qingmo’s ruthless dao had been completely destroyed.
The slightly chaotic spiritual energy around was not external, but overflowed from Ning Qingmo’s body.
At this moment, although Li Fenglan and Ning Qingmo were both on Miguang Mountain, they were separated by more than ten zhang. With the shattering of Ning Qingmo’s ruthless dao heart, his vision slowly began to blur.
He could only faintly see a familiar white figure not far away.
“Fenglan…” Ning Qingmo murmured with a voice that only he could hear.
In fact, the ruthless dao that Ning Qingmo practiced was forcibly reversed. He knew that he, as a person, could never be truly “ruthless.” Although he had not thought deeply about it, Ning Qingmo had always subconsciously understood that his ruthless dao would eventually be destroyed.
During the millennium, Ning Qingmo had been suppressing his emotions. When Li Fenglan appeared in his line of sight, Ning Qingmo’s millennium of suppression finally failed.
At this moment, when Ning Qingmo’s ruthless dao truly began to collapse, he could finally gaze deeply at Li Fenglan with unrestrained emotion.
The emotions suppressed for many years poured out at this moment, accompanied by the collapse of the cultivation of an immortalization stage ruthless dao cultivator with a millennium of cultivation.
Layers of calamity clouds suddenly appeared on the top of Miguang Mountain. Before everyone could react, the thunderbolts fell from the sky and hit Ning Qingmo all at once.
In stark contrast to when he crossed the tribulation in the past, each thunderbolt that fell would lower Ning Qingmo’s cultivation level by one realm.
In just half a joss stick’s worth of time, Ning Qingmo had already fallen from the realm of ascension to the golden core realm.
At this moment, Ning Qingmo had no intention of resisting, so in just a few breaths, his whole body was covered in blood.
Everyone present had never seen such a scene before. For a moment, Li Fenglan couldn’t even say a word. And the cultivators who came to see Ling Buyan were also standing still.
Li Fenglan knew that if this continued, Ning Qingmo would eventually die before his eyes…
He didn’t understand what Ning Qingmo was trying to do, was he punishing himself to show Li Fenglan?
In fact, Ning Qingmo did think like that. At the last moment, he still wanted to use this method to make Li Fenglan remember him forever. Ning Qingmo assumed that if he died like this in front of Li Fenglan, it would make him feel some guilt and nostalgia…
Everything in front of him was somewhat absurd.
And at the moment when Ning Qingmo’s cultivation scattered back to his nascent soul, Ling Buyan, who had been standing at a distance watching coldly, suddenly appeared next to Li Fenglan.
A cold light flashed, and before everyone could react, the black Split Karma was already hanging under the Heavenly Tribulation.
Ling Buyan blocked the Heavenly Tribulation and looked coldly at Ning Qingmo, breaking all of Ning Qingmo’s thoughts in an instant.
“Immortal Ning, have you played enough in this solo performance?”
