28: Holy Land Qingyunmen

The five men were stunned, and a sudden unease filled their hearts.

"Let's go together and kill him!"

One of them roared and moved to attack Wu Ning.

But just then, a giant hand, large enough to blot out the sky, suddenly descended from above, instantly seizing them as if they were five ants.

It gently squeezed twice, then slowly dissipated.

The five King Realm powerhouses also vanished with it, disappearing without a trace.

Apart from five Storage Rings, not a single mark was left behind.

Countless people in Yunzhou City watched this scene in horror.

Those were five King Realm powerhouses!

Heavenly God-like existences, just gone like that?

The King Realm powerhouses of the major top forces in the city also showed expressions of terror; five Kings were crushed like ants, without any power to resist, a scene that made their scalps tingle.

"Too strong! At least an invincible King!"

At the Xuan Yue Auction House, a white-robed old man said in a deep voice.

Beside him stood two people: the steward Qian Heng and the auctioneer Nalan Jin.

"An invincible King?!"

Qian Heng was shocked; he knew Wu Ning might be very strong, but he never expected him to be this strong.

An invincible King is the strongest among the King Realm, with Heaven-Defying combat power, an existence capable of barely contending with a Saint Realm powerhouse!

A hint of curiosity appeared in Nalan Jin's beautiful eyes; every invincible King was a renowned existence, so why had she never heard of this Young Master Wu?

At this moment, Xing Kui's expression was calm.

He had once felt the Qi released by Wu Ning and already knew that he was at least a Saint Realm existence.

Wu Ning took the five King Realm powerhouses' Storage Rings into his hand and investigated them with his Divine Sense.

"Bah, they're all paupers!"

The most valuable item was merely the Spirit Crystal that appeared at the auction.

All the other items combined probably didn't amount to two million High-Grade Spirit Stones.

He hadn't expected these King Realm powerhouses to be so poor.

"You guys divide these up."

He kept the Spirit Crystal and then casually tossed the five Storage Rings to Xu Ziqian and the other two.

After doing this, Shi Ji was also annihilated by him, yielding another Storage Ring.

Wu Ning didn't even glance at it and directly threw it to them.

The group continued walking towards the inn.

Xing Kui also followed along.

A moment later.

A Azure-Clad Man appeared above Yunzhou City, exuding a terrifying aura, and his Divine Sense quickly spread out, covering the entire Yunzhou City.

"Ancestral Master, over here!"

Xing Kui excitedly waved at him.

A thousand-year-old old man, at this moment, was like a child seeing his parent.

"Senior."

The next moment, Ancestral Master Yu Heng appeared beside Wu Ning in one step, respectfully cupping his hands towards him.

"Thank you, Senior, for your help this time. May I invite Senior to be a guest at the Seven Stars Sect?"

Wu Ning waved his hand, "No need, it was just a small effort."

Ancestral Master Yu Heng was somewhat disappointed; after thanking him again, he left with the heavily injured Xing Kui.

Back at the inn.

Li Yuanbao and the other two excitedly sorted through the contents of the six Storage Rings.

Various Spirit Stones piled up like mountains, totaling only over eighty thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones.

This included over two thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

Additionally, there were various Medicinal Pills, Spiritual Artifacts, Spirit Medicines, Cultivation Techniques, Martial Skills, Yao Beast inner cores, various Artifact Refining Materials, clothes, and other miscellaneous items, as well as some strange and unusual things.

The three sorted with great relish.

Wu Ning stood by the window, his gaze distant; he suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to know where Qingyun State was.

The Three Thousand States of the Eastern Region were too vast.

Just as he was about to go to the Xuan Yue Auction House to ask for directions, a loud roar resounded throughout Yunzhou City.

"Who is it? Who dares to kill my son?!"

"Get out here now!"

A figure appeared above Yunzhou City, exuding a terrifying pressure; it was clearly a King Realm First Heaven powerhouse!

"What are you barking about?"

Wu Ning appeared out of thin air, ten feet away from him.

"You killed my son?"

Shi Jiang's gaze instantly fell on Wu Ning, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

He had worked hard for over a hundred years to have this one young son, and he hadn't expected him to be killed just like that!

Whoosh!

Wu Ning was too lazy to talk nonsense with him; he took a step, instantly appearing in front of him, then extended a hand to press down on his head.

As the Family Head of the first Family in Yunlan Province, he should probably know the location of Qingyun State.

Shi Jiang's expression was horrified.

He found himself suppressed by a strange force, completely unable to move, and could only watch as Wu Ning's hand landed on his head.

"No!!"

"Father, save me!"

Shi Jiang screamed in terror.

High in the sky, a hunched old man in yellow robes revealed his figure, his eyes solemn.

He found it difficult to suppress Shi Jiang with just one hand.

Shi Ji and a King Realm powerhouse from the Family had died in Yunzhou City; he had initially thought it was the old ghost from the Seven Stars Sect who had acted, but now it seemed highly likely that this person was responsible.

"Ah!!"

Shi Jiang let out a miserable shriek; Wu Ning's soul-searching method was extremely brutal.

"Your Excellency, quickly release my son!"

The yellow-robed old man's face was extremely grim.

Boom!

Wu Ning casually slapped, and the space vibrated; the yellow-robed old man instantly turned to ash.

"Do you have a grandfather? Call him over too; Old Ancestor or something is fine."

Wu Ning asked Shi Jiang.

"You... you wish!"

Shi Jiang's expression was ferocious, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes as he intended to self-destruct.

"Then you can go to hell."

Wu Ning snorted coldly, his palm gently shaking.

Shi Jiang's body instantly shattered into countless fragments like an illusion, then vanished into the world.

Wu Ning had already obtained the information he wanted; he flashed back to the inn and tossed the two Storage Rings to the three people in the room.

"Boss, I truly love you!"

Li Yuanbao's face was filled with excitement.

The three immediately got busy; another nearly ten billion worth of items were added to their haul.

At this moment, countless people in Yunzhou City were shaken.

In the blink of an eye, two more Kings died.

Today, in just one day, the number of King Realm powerhouses who died was almost more than those who died in the past thousand years!

Early the next morning, when the blue bird soared into the sky and disappeared into the horizon, countless people in the city secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Qingyun State was extremely far from Yunlan Province, separated by dozens of states; even with the blue bird's speed, it took a full seven or eight days to fly.

"Finally here."

Wu Ning stood on the blue bird's back, overlooking the prosperous and vast state below.

Qingyun State was far larger and more prosperous than Yunlan Province, simply because a Holy Land-level Sect existed here:

—Qingyun Sect!

This was an ancient Sect with a Legacy spanning hundreds of thousands of years; it was rumored that it had even produced Quasi-Emperor level powerhouses once, flourishing for a time, but later gradually declined for unknown reasons.

But a starved camel is still bigger than a horse.

Even now, Qingyun Sect remained a powerful Holy Land that shook an area of hundreds of states.

Even among many Holy Land-level forces, it was a relatively powerful existence.
