429: After the event

Jiang Ning didn't expect that Gu Yanqing wasn't in a human body, but had possessed a Spirit Beast.

It seemed that when he managed to get out of the cesspool back then, he must have also possessed a Spirit Beast.

However, the Spirit Beasts in Dan Shuzi's Cave Residence were already extinct.

Only Dung Beetles were active extensively near the cesspool.

Everything clicked.

At that time, Bixiao Sect was sending people to search Dan Shuzi's Cave Residence, and Yun Qingyao was the leader among the Disciples.

It was also at that time that Yun Qingyao's cultivation began to grow rapidly.

Jiang Ning let out a long sigh of relief.

It turned out that his confrontation with Gu Yanqing had already begun at the level of their respective "Disciples."

A Cai was very excited now.

Her body trembled with excitement.

She had her revenge!

She had her revenge!

But once Gu Yanqing left, Jiang Ning also stopped fighting.

The remnant will that had been unable to approach nearby surged in.

A Cai, at the Early Golden Core Stage, felt it and gave a bitter smile.

She hadn't planned on going back when she came this time!

Having been toyed with by her enemy for so long, she didn't want to live anymore.

A Cai gave up resisting directly.

But her Divine Sense remained clear, and she wasn't attacked by the remnant will.

A Cai opened her eyes in surprise.

She found that the expert who looked like a "child" had placed a Restriction on her.

That's why the Regretful Monsters didn't attack.

Jiang Ning's expression remained unchanged as he continued to watch the two Spirit Transformation Stage Cultivators in the sky.

Had they just arrived, or had they been watching for a while?

If they had been there for a while, had they heard his conversation with Gu Yanqing?

If they heard about things related to the "Upper Realm," would they also make a move against him?

Jiang Ning pondered.

He thought it was more likely that they had just arrived.

Otherwise, it was impossible for these two Cultivators to only capture Gu Yanqing.

Jiang Ning chose to wait and see.

He had no intention of escaping in the chaos or entering the Small World right now.

Don't underestimate Deity Transformation Realm Cultivators.

The main focus of this Realm is the "Divine Soul."

Even though their main focus was on Gu Yanqing, all movements in the vicinity were within their control.

Once he made a move, they would definitely know.

The Cultivator surnamed Wu finished dealing with Gu Yanqing's matter.

He said, "The Purple Lightning Qilin Dog has been caught, but I didn't expect that our Lingxu Domain would produce such a talent."

With a flash of his body, he appeared directly in front of Jiang Ning in the next second.

The Cultivator holding the bowl also arrived in front of him.

Jiang Ning's nerves tightened.

Jiang Ning cupped his hands, "I wonder what business you two Seniors have with me?"

The Cultivator surnamed Wu looked at Jiang Ning and nodded.

"Although you turned your body into a child for the sake of cultivation, reaching the Peak of the Nascent Soul Realm and being only a thin sheet of paper away from Soul Transformation is worth it."

"I am Wu Chenghai of the Baoxu Merchant Guild, and this person beside me is Xu Qi."

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist would like to join my Baoxu Merchant Guild as an Enshrined Expert."

"If you're interested, I'll take you back to meet the Owner. I'll certainly pick the most suitable Spirit Transformation Spirit Ruins for you to cultivate in. I believe it won't be long before you enter the Deity Transformation Realm."

So it was a recruitment attempt.

Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

From the looks of it, these two Soul Transformation Cultivators probably hadn't heard his conversation with Gu Yanqing.

Being closer now, Gu Yanqing felt Jiang Ning's aura.

He opened his mouth and spoke in human tongue, "Senior, this person..."

Wu Chenghai glanced at Gu Yanqing, who had turned into a Purple Lightning Qilin Dog, and sneered, "A beast should act like a beast. Stop speaking like a human!"

He directly sealed Gu Yanqing's mouth.

Gu Yanqing: ???

Why is this person so unreasonable?

Does he have a grudge against Spirit Beasts?

Gu Yanqing hadn't used sound transmission just now, and hearing him, Jiang Ning almost fled immediately.

He had no doubt that Gu Yanqing would try to screw him over.

Fortunately... Wu Chenghai looked at Jiang Ning and said with a smile, "Don't mind him, little friend. Some Spirit Beasts are just like this, very cunning. Human Cultivators may have conflicts, but those of a different race will surely have different hearts!"

Jiang Ning cupped his hands, "Elder Wu is right. To be honest, before you arrived, this Spirit Beast was fighting me, and I was no match for it."

"Furthermore, this Spirit Beast is extremely cunning."

"I have practiced some secret techniques regarding the Divine Soul. Although this is the body of a Spirit Beast, a human's Divine Soul resides within."

"To my shame, this person has a grudge against me."

"If you two Seniors want to tame this Spirit Beast, I'm afraid it will be very difficult."

"But if you only want to take its essence blood and Materials, that would be fine."

Xu Qi, who was holding the bowl, wondered, "There's actually a human Divine Soul inside? No wonder. I saw that this Spirit Beast was only at the fourth-rank Middle Stage, yet its Divine Soul has the strength of Soul Transformation."

"I didn't expect there to be such a story behind it."

"Since you've said it, little friend, everything makes sense now."

"It's just a real pity for this Purple Lightning Qilin Dog."

"A Spirit Beast could still be tamed, but a human is out of the question."

Wu Chenghai sneered, "Refusing to be a proper human and choosing to be a beast instead. Actually, planting a Slave Mark on him would work, but I really look down on such people. Better to just kill him."

Gu Yanqing's heart went cold as he listened.

He had planned to lay low for a while and then see.

But his plan was ruined by Jiang Ning.

He wanted to lash out at Jiang Ning, but found he couldn't open his mouth, and his body was unable to move.

This was a Deity Transformation Realm Cultivator.

Under the suppression of the Realm, he was helpless.

Wu Chenghai brought the topic back, "I wonder if little friend has any thoughts on my proposal just now?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior."

Jiang Ning selectively told some truth, "I am a Cultivator of the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty. I've come out to travel this time, but I'll have to go back eventually. If you two Seniors ever come to Great Qian..."

"I will certainly host you well."

Jiang Ning didn't give his name.

There was nothing much to say; these were just polite formalities.

"Great Qian Immortal Dynasty?!" Xu Qi was shocked. He asked, "Where do you cultivate?"

"Yunzhou."

Jiang Ning smiled.

Xu Qi nodded, "Is your Prefect, Lord Liu, doing well? Has he broken through to the Integration Realm in recent years?"

Jiang Ning knew that Xu Qi was testing him.

Jiang Ning said softly, "When I left, our Prefect was still Lord Zuo Mingyu. His Lordship practices the Incense Dao and is preparing to break through to the Golden Body Realm."

"Perhaps I remembered incorrectly."

Xu Qi slapped his forehead, "The Great Qian Immortal Dynasty is the number one immortal dynasty of the Lower Realm. We hold it in high regard. Unfortunately, this is our home and we truly cannot leave, otherwise we would certainly go and travel through the Immortal Dynasty."

"When you come, Senior, just look for me in Yunzhou City!"

Jiang Ning knew that this hurdle had been passed.

The Lingxu Domain still had to treat Cultivators of the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty with caution.

Just because the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty wasn't willing to occupy this place didn't mean they wouldn't come.

Even if he was only a Golden Core, mentioning the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty would still make people in the Lingxu Domain wary.

Who knows if this Cultivator is some Young Master from the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty?

Best not to invite trouble.

Xu Qi and Wu Chenghai glanced at each other, then said to Jiang Ning, "Little friend, the matter here is concluded, and we should be heading back. If anything happens, you can find me at the Baoxu Merchant Guild."

Jiang Ning offered his thanks.

He knew the matter ended here.

Even though Gu Yanqing was anxious and pacing in circles, he still couldn't speak.
