252: Chapter 252 Heading to Yingzhou

Chen Lingyang was silent; to be honest, it would be fake to say he was not tempted.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, this is the Lingyun Technique of my Ning Family." Ning Qingluo took out a Secret Manual from her Storage Pouch and then handed it to Chen Lingyang.

Chen Lingyang frowned slightly. "I never take advantage of others in a precarious situation. Fellow Daoist Ning should take it back!"

"But..." Ning Qingluo still wanted to continue persuading him, but looking at Chen Lingyang's cold appearance, she ultimately failed to speak up.

She silently walked to the depths of the Immortal Cave and began to heal her injuries. Chen Lingyang also chose the other side, taking out a Medicinal Pill to heal and recover.

The two of them were now fleeing within the territory of Cang Prefecture, no longer within the territory of Taihe Prefecture.

However, the Giant Sword Sect could not possibly let them off so easily; right now, they must have dispatched quite a few Cultivators to search for them.

Therefore, as soon as the two finished recovering, they immediately set off to head elsewhere.

"We definitely cannot stay in Cang Prefecture any longer. The Giant Sword Sect will certainly dispatch a large number of Cultivators to search for us everywhere," Chen Lingyang explained.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, since that is the case, what should we do next?" Ning Qingluo nodded and asked.

"First leave Cang Prefecture, head to Youzhou, and then make other plans," Chen Lingyang said calmly.

After he made his decision, the two immediately set off and left.

...

Wuyue Mountain.

As the Family head, Chen Changjie received the news of the Giant Sword Sect's incident at the very first moment.

This even included the matter of the Giant Sword Sect moving to exterminate the Ning Family, as well as the fact that five Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Giant Sword Sect died or were injured this time.

Five Foundation Establishment Cultivators, for a Purple Mansion power like the Giant Sword Sect, although it hadn't reached the point of hurting their bones and muscles, it was no trivial matter either. After all, counting their entire Sect, at their Peak they only had a few dozen, and now only thirty or forty people remained.

Upon learning about these occurrences in the Giant Sword Sect, she didn't pay too much attention to it at first. It was only when Chen Lingyang informed the Family of his situation that Chen Changjie felt somewhat shocked.

Therefore, she immediately dispatched Chen Linghao to go provide support.

Chen Linghao had also been training outside these years, and his chosen location was Ying Province. If he went to provide support, the Giant Sword Sect would never suspect it was the Chen Family.

Meanwhile, far away in Ying Province, Chen Linghao received Chen Changjie's message and prepared to set off and leave Ying Province.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, what is wrong?"

Several people walked over to Chen Linghao's side, and one middle-aged man looked puzzled.

"Hmm, I have some matters to attend to and need to leave." Chen Linghao nodded. When he came to Ying Province for training, he had always concealed his aura, disguising himself as a Qi Refining Cultivator.

And these few people were all part of a Monster Hunting Team. The captain, He Jun, was a Ninth Layer of Qi Refining Perfection Cultivator, currently sixty-three years old, and was preparing Spirit Stones to purchase Foundation Establishment spiritual items with the intention of undergoing Foundation Establishment.

Except for the female Cultivator in the team who was He Jun's Family member, the rest of the people were also Loose Cultivators.

"Thank you all for your care during this period. I and Fellow Daoists shall meet again if fate permits," Chen Linghao said calmly, turning around to leave.

"Hmm, take care, Fellow Daoist Zhang," He Jun said.

The other few people also bade farewell to him.

The reason these people were so courteous was mainly because Chen Linghao had turned the tide several times when making a move over the years, leading everyone to guess that he came from some Foundation Establishment power and wanted to be on good terms with him.

Now that the other party was leaving, they naturally wouldn't try to stop him.

Chen Linghao summoned a Flying Sword and then departed riding the sword.

When there was no one around, he finally displayed his First Layer of Foundation Establishment Perfection strength and hurried toward Youzhou.

About two months later, Chen Lingyang and the other finally arrived at the border of Cang Prefecture.

Over these past few days, the two had to head to Youzhou while also avoiding all kinds of spies and informants.

Even though Cang Prefecture was not the territory of the Giant Sword Sect, the Giant Sword Sect only needed to dispatch a portion of Cultivators to keep an eye on the direction they initially escaped toward.

As long as one of them discovered them, it was very likely to attract Foundation Establishment Cultivators far surpassing the two of them.

"Second Brother!" Chen Linghao was hiding in the dense forest. As soon as he saw Chen Lingyang and the other, he immediately shouted.

"Linghao, you have come!" Chen Lingyang nodded.

Chen Linghao looked at the two with doubt in his heart, but didn't say anything. Moreover, Chen Lingyang and the other had also disguised their appearances, so he couldn't make out their specific looks. The reason he was certain one of them was Chen Lingyang was purely because they had previously agreed on a rendezvous location.

"We can't stay in Cang Prefecture for much longer, and it seems something has happened in Youzhou as well? Biluo Palace's recent moves haven't been small either. Why don't you come with me to Ying Province? Anyway, Second Brother, you were out for training before anyway, and it's impossible for the Giant Sword Sect to suspect us," Chen Linghao suggested.

"That works too." Chen Lingyang nodded.

Ning Qingluo, who was standing to the side, remained taciturn.

"Since that is the case, let's leave first," Chen Lingyang reminded.

The three of them immediately headed in the direction of Ying Province.

On the way, Chen Linghao asked Chen Lingyang via voice transmission, "Second Brother, why did you make a move to help this person? Could it be...?"

"The other party is a person of the Ning Family and masters the Lingyun Technique. If this Spell can be used in our Chen Family, perhaps it can cultivate a large amount of Spiritual Plants for us. By then, our Chen Family will advance further," Chen Lingyang said calmly.

"I see." Chen Linghao nodded.

He also had some understanding of the Ning Family. For them to stand tall in Taihe Prefecture for thousands of years without falling, this Lingyun Technique definitely had extraordinary aspects.

It was just rumored that a Purple Palace Cultivator once came to demand it, and he didn't know if it was true.

Just after the three left Youzhou, the Cultivators of the Giant Sword Sect were still searching in Cang Prefecture.

However, they were destined not to find anyone.

After all, no matter how small Cang Prefecture was, for a Purple Mansion power, trying to find a single person was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

At most, they could investigate through spies everywhere, but it was also very limited.

Giant Sword Peak.

"What did you say? Our Sect lost five Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and in the end we didn't even obtain that Lingyun Technique, and the enemy even escaped?" Sect Master Wan He of the Giant Sword Sect angrily rebuked.

Inside the main hall, several Elders and stewards didn't dare to raise their heads to look directly at Sect Master Wan He at this moment, fearing that they would be made an example of to warn the others later.

The Giant Sword Sect was different from most Sects; the entire Giant Sword Sect was controlled by the Wan Family, and the Old Ancestor Wan Yin was also a person of the Wan Family.

Therefore, the Elders not only feared Sect Master Wan He's ruthlessness, but even more feared Wan Yin who stood behind Sect Master Wan He.

Moreover, Sect Master Wan He's own strength was strong enough, and his cultivation had even reached the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment.

Someone had once witnessed Sect Master Wan He single-handedly fighting two Ninth Layer Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

On the other hand, among these Elders and stewards, the strongest were only at the Seventh Layer of Foundation Establishment, and the weakest had just entered the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Alright, Sect Master Wan He, it is useless for you to blame them. Who would have known that the Ning Family actually had such a strong trump card." At this moment, a White-haired Elder slowly walked in step by step from outside the hall.

All the Elders and stewards looked over, their eyes carrying respect.

Facing him, Sect Master Wan He likewise didn't dare to show any disrespect.

Because this person was the Grand Elder of the Giant Sword Sect, Xiao Guan.

As the second person within the Sect, although he was not a person of the Wan Family, relying on the Perfection of the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment and over two hundred years of experience, he had quite a lot of prestige throughout the entire Sect.

"Grand Elder."

"Grand Elder."

"Hmm, you all may withdraw first! I have something to discuss with the Sect Master."

"Yes!"

Everyone felt a sense of relief and seized the opportunity to leave.
