Fang Jie quickly flew back to the Bao family mansion.
This trip took less than an hour.
After returning to the Bao family mansion, Fang Jie entered the underground prison.
After sensing the residual power fluctuation in the prison, Fang Jie’s expression turned ugly.
“Bao Qiuhua is dead, and the dao seal stone tablet has also been taken away.”
Fang Jie felt that he had seen through the truth. “The goal of that common seal realm martial artist is not the core members of the Bao family, but the dao seal!”
‘Leaving the Bao Mansion was exactly what that person wanted. Faced with Bao Qiuhua alone, who was only in the attribute realm, he could easily kill her and seize the dao seal. And because the dao seal has not been completely unsealed, that person took away those prisoners with the needed bloodline.’
Fang Jie was extremely annoyed.
That was a dao seal. If he missed it this time, he didn’t know when he would get it again.
‘Bao Qiuhua thought that she had kept the fact that she had a dao seal a secret, but in fact, she was targeted right from the get go.’
Fang Jie looked to be in deep thought, as if he was weighing something.
After a while, Fang Jie gritted his teeth and took out a cyan pill.
“Thousand Mile Tracking Pill!”
Fang Jie swallowed it without hesitation.
This Thousand Mile Tracking Pill was a very precious functional dan, as it could be used to track enemies who fled far away.
The weaker the enemy’s breath, the closer they were to escape, the clearer the perception.
The moment the pill entered his stomach, it immediately turned into a ball of pure energy, flowing through his meridians and blood before rushing towards Fang Jie’s forehead.
Fang Jie suddenly felt his mind clear up and his perception ability quickly improved.
Fang Jie immediately captured the remaining aura in the prison. Then, in his field of vision, the aura flowed out of the prison like a thread and floated into the distance.
The path of this aura was the path Xu Ning had taken to leave this place.
“Fortunately, that person didn’t go far!”
Fang Jie breathed a sigh of relief and his eyes showed a greedy smile.
What he was most worried about was that the person had fled to the point that he couldn’t locate him.
If this was the case, not only would he not be able to find the dao seal stone tablet, but he would also have wasted an extremely precious Thousand Mile Tracking Pill.
‘I must get that seal!’
Fang Jie walked out of the underground prison and summoned another raptor demon beast before chasing after Xu Ning.
…
Xu Ning didn’t know that Fang Jie had sensed his location.
He brought Wei Changqing and the others into a remote mountain. He then found a cave and placed them down.
“Commander Wei, the three of you, excuse yourselves for a moment. I will come back to pick you up after I’m done.”
Xu Ning was cautious, trying his best not to let them get close to the Crystal Mansion.
“Okay.”
Wei Changqing had no objections. Compared to the harsh environment that they had lived in previously, this cave made him feel unusually warm.
“Xu Ning, you don’t have to call me Commander Wei anymore, just call me by my name.”
Wei Changqing added.
Now that their identities had changed, Wei Changqing felt that this was inappropriate.
Xu Ning frowned. “Okay, Uncle Wei.”
Wei Binglin and Wei Zicheng treated Xu Ning like a friend.
However, Wei Changqing was on the older side, thus Xu Ning called Wei Changqing uncle.
Wei Changqing was happy to hear Xu Ning call him that.
Xu Ning still regarded him as an elder.
It was good for Wei Changqing to continue to be close with Xu Ning.
“This is for you.”
Xu Ning took out two bags of pills.
One of the bags was filled with Grain Pills, while the other was filled with Blood Recovery Pills.
“The pills in this bag can relieve your hunger, and the pills in the other bag can replenish qi and blood. You can take it yourselves.”
Xu Ning said.
“Okay.”
Wei Changqing accepted them.
“In this case, I’ll leave first.”
After Xu Ning arranged everything, he got on the back of the giant eagle and disappeared from the three people’s vision.
“Brother Xu is so generous!”
Wei Binglin sighed. “Our help to him back then was not even worth a drop of water, but now he is providing us with so much.”
“Yeah…”
Wei Zicheng also said, “When we return to State Feiyun, we must report to the family and ask the family to prepare a gift for Brother Xu.”
“Take the pills Xu Ning gave you first.”
Wei Changqing distributed the two bags of pills, then swallowed the pills.
After swallowing the pills, they felt that their physical strength and energy had recovered greatly.
After Wei Changqing and the other two swallowed the pills, they leaned against the wall and fell asleep.
Although being in such an environment was still inconvenient, they were more relaxed than before.
Now, they were just waiting for Xu Ning to bring them home.
…
Xu Ning rode the giant eagle demon beast and rushed back to the Crystal Mansion.
After Bao Weijing returned to the Crystal Mansion, Xu Ning would help Bao Weijing become the head of the Bao family.
Xu Ning put the dao seal stone tablet into his rib storage space.
The reason why he didn’t put it away until now was because Xu Ning didn’t want Wei Changqing and the other two to see the rib storage space.
This was Xu Ning’s secret.
Below Xu Ning was a continuous mountain range, so in less than half an hour, he would be able to return to the Crystal Mansion.
“Huh?”
Suddenly, Xu Ning felt a strong aura approaching him.
“This aura… it’s Fang Jie!”
Xu Ning suddenly realized. “Fang Jie is here! Didn’t he go to Yuntu County?”
“I was too careless!”
Xu Ning thought to himself, ‘Bao Qiuhua and Fang Jie should have mutual sensing devices. Fang Jie must have noticed that Bao Qiuhua was killed. Moreover, he must have used a special method to chase me here!’
“Avoid him!”
Xu Ning was not afraid of Fang Jie. He just didn’t want his identity to be exposed.
Xu Ning ordered the giant eagle demon beast to change direction.
But it was no use, Fang Jie’s aura was getting closer and closer.
The giant eagle demon beast that Xu Ning was riding was only in the beginning of the void realm, while the raptor demon beast that Fang Jie was riding was in the middle level of the void realm, so its flying speed was much faster.
“The person in front, hand over the dao seal and I will spare your life!”
Fang Jie’s voice was heard near him.
‘Sure enough, he has caught up.’
Xu Ning patted the head of the giant eagle demon beast, then jumped down.
Xu Ning ignored the drop of more than a hundred meters.
Soon, Xu Ning landed on a mountain peak.
Afterwards, a strong wind blew above Xu Ning’s head.
Fang Jie jumped off a raptor demon beast and blocked Xu Ning’s path.
“Yes, you!”
Fang Jie stared at Xu Ning, who was wearing a mask.
Fang Jie hadd finally caught up with Xu Ning.
“You killed Bao Qiuhua and took the dao seal, right?”
Facing Xu Ning, Fang Jie was full of confidence.
The person in front of him was only a void realm seventh stage martial artist, while he was a void realm eighth stage martial artist.
Xu Ning did not speak.
“Not talking?”
Attribute power had begun to surge in Fang Jie’s body.
In addition, there was a strange force hovering around him.
‘Is this the strength of a void realm eighth stage, a true intent realm martial artist…’
Xu Ning knew that the strange power was attribute true meaning.
Attribute true meaning was not a kind of physical strength, but an invisible support.
Attribute power with true intent could suppress attribute power without true qi.
“It’s okay if you don’t talk. When I’m about to twist your head off, you will tell me the whereabouts of the dao seal!”
Fang Jie took a step forward and grabbed the air.
Immediately after, a giant hand with strange lines appeared and slapped towards Xu Ning.
When Xu Ning saw this, he instantly avoided it, but soon after, another giant hand came down.
“Tidal Fist!”
Xu Ning couldn’t dodge, so he could only use Tidal Fist to block.
However, Xu Ning’s realm was one level lower than Fang Jie’s, so Xu Ning’s Tidal Fist was crushed by Fang Jie’s giant wind hand.
“Is this attribute true meaning?”
Xu Ning was shocked.
The moment Tidal Fist came into contact with the giant hand seal, Xu Ning felt a suppressive force that directly shattered the Tidal Fist seal.
‘I have no choice, Fang Jie wants to kill me!’
Xu Ning also noticed Fang Jie’s unconcealed murderous intent.
Huahua!
Fang Jie’s giant wind palm landed one after the other.
At the same time, transparent knife marks fell like raindrops, slashing towards Xu Ning.
There were also hurricanes wrapped in the nature of tearing, cutting, and destruction, formed by countless small wind blades, sweeping towards Xu Ning.
‘It seems that I have to expose my identity!’
Xu Ning had no other choice.
He activated his bracer.
Afterwards, Xu Ning’s body was wrapped in red armor. At the same time, the Tidal Fist seal, the Water Cross Sword seal, and the Bright Fire Sword seal danced in the air, colliding with Fang Jie’s wind attribute attack.
Because of the boost from the dao weapon, Xu Ning’s strength was not inferior to Fang Jie’s.
“This!”
After noticing that Xu Ning had suddenly become stronger, Fang Jie’s pupils shrank. ‘How did he suddenly become so strong? And these sword seals…’
“It’s the Water Cross Sword and the Bright Fire Sword!”
As He Mingye’s old rival, Fang Jie was familiar with He Mingye’s unique skills.
‘The Water Cross Sword and the Bright Fire Sword are extremely precious secret techniques, and very few people practice them. If this person can use the Water Cross Sword seal and the Bright Fire Sword seal, it means that this person must be related to He Mingye!’
Fang Jie’s brain was spinning. ‘Sect Master Mi Xingye recently accepted an in-name disciple named Xu Ning. Apparently, this person also practiced a water and fire dual secret scroll!’
‘However, Xu Ning is similar in strength to Bao Ruyuan, but this person in front of me is in the common seal realm…’
Fang Jie still had doubts in his heart, but his intuition told him that this masked man was He Mingye’s junior brother.
“Are you Xu Ning?”
Fang Jie stopped.
Fang Jie quickly flew back to the Bao family mansion.
This trip took less than an hour.
After returning to the Bao family mansion, Fang Jie entered the underground prison.
After sensing the residual power fluctuation in the prison, Fang Jie’s expression turned ugly.
