90: Chapter 90 Wind and Thunder Manor

The sudden, explosive shout instantly interrupted everyone's thoughts. Their hearts sank, and they were no longer in the mood for joking.

Ning Yuan quickly looked back and saw a dark figure rushing toward them like a bolt of lightning, surrounded by pervasive Yin Qi and surging Killing Intent.

"This old ghost is coming fast..." Ning Yuan narrowed his eyes as he watched Soul Land chasing them, a cold glint flashing through his gaze.

Not far behind Soul Land, the figure of the Hundred Poisons King followed closely, enveloped in a black poisonous mist. Wherever he flew, the vegetation on the ground instantly turned yellow and withered, devoid of life.

Finally, the auras of nearly a hundred Nascent Soul Yao Race members drifted from the distant horizon. The Demonic Qi they emitted even converged into a heavy demonic cloud, pressing down overwhelmingly toward the front.

Swish, swish, swish!

Such a startling commotion alerted all the Cultivators along the way. They took to the air one after another to watch, and upon seeing the situation clearly, they all gasped.

"Hiss, what's going on? Two Void Refining experts and nearly a hundred Nascent Soul Yao Race members—what are they trying to do?"

"Is war breaking out between the Yin Souls and the Yao Race? But it doesn't look like it!"

"Don't just stand there! Spread the news quickly. They might be coming for us!"

"..."

At those words, the surrounding Cultivators lost all interest in watching the show. They pulled out communication talismans to notify their respective sects of what was happening so they could prepare.

South Province was currently in a state of chaos. Ever since the war between humans and Yin Souls began, there hadn't been a single day of peace; a large number of Cultivators or Yin Souls perished every day.

With such a massive force now, it wasn't impossible for the entire South Province to fall if things weren't handled properly.

As the news spread, South Province was sent into a frenzy. Large numbers of Cultivators began to assemble, and even the two human Void Refining Cultivators were inevitably drawn toward the site of the incident.

It could be said that Ning Yuan's actions had caused the entire South Province to tremble, and an atmosphere of an impending storm instantly filled the air.

On the flowing light boat, Ning Yuan and the others had no time to worry about anything else. Their only focus was escaping South Province and leaving this place of trouble.

With a large number of Spirit Stones being consumed, the flowing light boat's speed surged, keeping Soul Land and the Hundred Poisons King at bay for the moment. However, this couldn't go on forever.

"This seems to be... the territory of Wind Thunder Manor!"

Just as Ning Yuan was frowning inwardly, Tao Yao's surprised voice came from beside him. She seemingly hadn't expected them to flee to this location.

Wind Thunder Manor!

Hearing these words, a sharp light erupted in Ning Yuan's eyes. His brow unfurled, and a mischievous smile appeared on his lips.

He had a grudge against Li Fenglei. Since that was the case, there was no need to be polite. As the saying goes, better a Fellow Daoist die than oneself!

He could divert the trouble toward them!

He would let Wind Thunder Manor and the duo of Soul Land and the Hundred Poisons King fight it out. Since both sides already had grievances, there was no worry about them not coming to blows.

He could take the opportunity to slip away and escape the pursuit. As for what would happen to Wind Thunder Manor in the end, that was none of his business.

"Soul Land, Hundred Poisons, what is the meaning of this?"

Before Ning Yuan could even act, a thunderous roar erupted from the horizon, and a Thunder Intent instantly filled the world.

Rumble!

Thunderous rumbles echoed from the horizon, and dark clouds quickly gathered in the sky. Silver lightning could be clearly seen snaking around like silver serpents.

This sudden scene in the sky left Ning Yuan dumbstruck. He hadn't used a Thunder Summoning Talisman, so why did it look like heavenly thunder was about to descend?

Just then, an old man with bristling hair and a burly build, whose face bore some resemblance to Li Fenglei, appeared beneath the thunderclouds. Framed by the vast clouds, he possessed an extraordinary and imposing presence.

"Thunder Brute, this is none of your business. Get lost!"

Upon seeing the old man, Soul Land and the Hundred Poisons King both halted their pursuit. Soul Land even shouted a rebuke.

He had been defeated by this man in their previous encounter, so he hated him to the core while also harboring a sliver of fear.

"Weren't you beaten enough last time? How dare you speak to me like that!" Thunder Brute's eyes widened, and a terrifying Thunder Intent erupted, causing Soul Land's body to tremble involuntarily.

This person was the Void Refining Cultivator of Wind Thunder Manor, Furious Cloud Thunder.

Because of his explosive and thunderous temperament—ready to fight at the slightest disagreement—he had earned the nickname "Thunder Brute."

"And you, Hundred Poisons, instead of staying in your poison den, do you intend to mingle with these gloomy, ghostly things?"

Furious Cloud Thunder turned his gaze toward the Hundred Poisons King. A flicker of solemnity crossed his eyes, though he didn't show it. Facing two opponents at once, his chances of winning weren't high; it would be best to drive Hundred Poisons away first.

As for the massive commotion they were causing, Furious Cloud Thunder was also confused. He only knew they were chasing someone, but he knew nothing of the specific details.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you must be joking. This King has no intention of getting involved; I am merely here to capture a runaway clansman!" the Hundred Poisons King said politely. However, his heart was clouded. The appearance of Furious Cloud Thunder had completely disrupted his rhythm, and he might not be able to catch the Flood Dragon Maiden again.

"Heh, is that so..." Furious Cloud Thunder grinned, the light in his eyes flickering as he pondered whether the Hundred Poisons King's words were true or false.

"Senior, don't be fooled by him! This Junior only learned of their secret plot by chance, which is why I'm being hunted!"

"The two of them have already joined forces, planning an internal and external pincer attack. Once they succeed, the Yin Souls and the Yao Race will divide South Province between them!"

Just as Furious Cloud Thunder was about to say more, he was interrupted by this earth-shattering statement. The content left him stunned for a moment, then cold light shot from his eyes as he stared directly at the two men in front of him.

"Human, you're looking for death! I haven't even—"

At these words, Soul Land flew into a rage. He did have that idea, but he hadn't even had the chance to discuss it with the Hundred Poisons King before this mess happened.

"Haven't even what? Haven't finished discussing how to carve up South Province? If I hadn't discovered it in time, I'm afraid the entire South Province would have become your food!"

"Senior, go! Kill them and show them the might of our Human Race!"

Seeing Soul Land's reaction, Furious Cloud Thunder believed the words a bit more. Otherwise, why would they appear here together?

As for the rest, there was likely some truth to it; it wasn't complete nonsense.

At this moment, Soul Land felt like he was about to spit out a mouthful of blood. He hadn't done anything yet, but in Ning Yuan's mouth, even the plan to divide South Province had come out. Now, even with a thousand tongues, he couldn't clear his name.

Beside him, the Hundred Poisons King was also speechless. Ning Yuan spoke with such conviction that he didn't even know how to refute it. After all, he knew exactly why Soul Land had come looking for him, so Ning Yuan wasn't exactly making things up!
