Duan Chaofeng and Zhang He also looked at Xu Ning who brought Cheng Zengtao along.
Although they didn’t recognize Xu Ning and Cheng Zengtao, they could sense that the origin returnance realm Cheng Zengtao was led by Xu Ning who was in the astral qi realm.
“I am the Sect Master of the Swallow Heron Sect, Xu Ning.”
Xu Ning directly revealed his identity.
Since the other party had already discovered that this was the territory of the Swallow Heron Sect, there was no need to hide.
‘These two people didn’t appear in my perception range at all. If it wasn’t for the fact that I can see them, they might as well not exist…’
The last time Xu Ning felt such a huge difference in strength was when he saw the dao realm Wan Ye when he was in the void realm.
Cheng Zengtao noticed that the two were not simple.
It was just that he had never seen Duan Chaofeng before, so he didn’t know Duan Chaofeng’s identity.
“I am the Harmony Prince Duan Chaofeng.” Duan Chaofeng was equally straightforward. “The Harmony Prince?”
Xu Ning and Cheng Zengtao were shocked.
Although this person looked unique, they didn’t expect him to be the Harmony Prince.
“Your Highness.”
Xu Ning and Cheng Zengtao greeted. Although Duan Chaofeng did not show his identity certificate, the two did not doubt his identity.
This was because Xu Ning and Cheng Zengtao both knew that Duan Chaofeng happened to be in the Canton Governor Manor.
Moreover, the special aura on his body could not be easily disguised.
“The Swallow Heron Sect was destroyed for a hundred years, and now it is being rebuilt again. This is extremely rare.”
Duan Chaofeng said, “Can we go in and take a look?”
“Of course.”
Xu Ning said, “Your Highness, please.”
Duan Chaofeng strode into the villa.
Xu Ning and Cheng Zengtao looked at each other and followed.
‘This Harmony Prince has obviously paid attention to the Swallow Heron Sect. With his status, the survival of a small sect like the Swallow Heron Sect should not enter his eyes…’
Xu Ning followed behind Duan Chaofeng.
Duan Chaofeng walked around the entire villa like a tourist.
After making a turn, Duan Chaofeng only had one thought in his mind.
Plain. The rebuilt Swallow Heron Sect was extremely plain.
As the Harmony Prince, he had entered many large sects. The current Swallow Heron Sect was as small as a shrimp in front of them.
However, although he felt that the current state of the Swallow Heron Sect was nothing special, Duan Chaofeng still looked forward to the future growth of the Swallow Heron Sect.
With just a short exchange, Duan Chaofeng had already noticed that the current sect master of the Swallow Heron Sect was extraordinary.
He could sense that Xu Ning had the foundation of six attribute seeds and had already absorbed four attribute true origins.
Moreover, when he was passing through the backyard, he discovered that there were two demon beasts with extremely high bloodlines.
One was a void beast, while the other was a blood cyan wolf.
This was rare.
After visiting the villa, Xu Ning led Duan Chaofeng to the parlor. “You found my secret treasures a few days
ago?”
Duan Chaofeng sat on the seat while Zhang He stood next to him.
“Yes.”
Although Xu Ning still hadn’t figured out Duan Chaofeng’s intentions, he was basically certain that this person came with no ill intentions.
“You punished those two thieves and you even found two precious secret treasures, which is a meritorious service for me. Tell me, what reward do you want?”
Duan Chaofeng stared at Xu Ning with interest.
Xu Ning frowned.
Cheng Zengtao’s heart skipped a beat.
He thought that if only Duan Chaofeng could help the Swallow Heron Sect in its rebuilding period.
If this happened, the Swallow Heron Sect would no longer have to hide. They could build with great fanfare, and there would be no need to worry about the Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect.
But although he was looking forward to it, Cheng Zengtao was just imagining it. “It is my honor to share the burden of the prince, so why talk about rewards?”
Xu Ning couldn’t figure out Duan Chaofeng’s temperament, so he answered calmly.
Duan Chaofeng laughed when he heard that.
“I never have the habit of owing favors.”
Duan Chaofeng flipped his palm and two qi currents appeared between his palms.
One streak of red and one streak of blue slowly rotated in his palm.
‘Water and fire attribute true origins!’
Xu Ning instantly sensed the essence of the two qi currents. Duan Chaofeng didn’t even give Xu Ning the chance to reject and just waved his hand. Xu Ning couldn’t resist the two attribute true origin qi currents at all and they went straight into Xu Ning’s body.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Almost instantly, the two attribute true origin qi currents were absorbed by Xu Ning and merged into the elementary form of his inner core.
“This rate of absorption…’
Xu Ning knew the reasons why he could absorb these two attribute true origins so quickly.
One reason was because the form of these two attribute true origins was special, and the other reason was because of Duan Chaofeng’s help.
Now that his attribute true origins had been gathered, Xu Ning could absorb energy at any time and advance to the third stage of the dao realm.
“Thank you, Your Highness.”
Xu Ning said with cupped fists.
“In the past, the Swallow Heron Sect was plotted against by the Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect and was forced to be destroyed. When I heard about this, I also felt that it was a shame. Now that I see the Swallow Heron Sect has been rebuilt, I am quite relieved.”
Duan Chaofeng’s words surprised Xu Ning and Cheng Zengtao.
Cheng Zengtao suddenly remembered a rumor mentioning that the Harmony Prince of State Guqing and the Promise Princess of State Luzhi had a feud with each other.
And behind the destruction of the Swallow Heron Sect by the Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect was Princess Mo Lan, the daughter of the Promise King.
Cheng Zengtao’s heart skipped a beat.
He suddenly realized that Duan Chaofeng’s words did not seem to be casual.
Duan Chaofeng seemed to be expressing his support.
Xu Ning also realized this.
He had been with Cheng Zengtao for a long time, so he knew some things about State Guqing.
“Thank you for your concern, Your Highness.” Xu Ning responded cautiously to Duan Chaofeng’s attitude.
“Take this.”
Duan Chaofeng no longer beat around the bush. He just threw a token to Xu Ning.
Xu Ning took it and glanced at it.
“This is the guest token of the prince.”
Zhang He, who was standing next to Duan Chaofeng, said, “After receiving this guest token, you are now a member of the prince.” “Guest token…”
Xu Ning was not prepared for Duan Chaofeng’s sudden invitation.
Xu Ning realized that he couldn’t refuse this guest token.
Duan Chaofeng obviously had no intention of negotiating with him.
If he refused, he would be slapping the face of the prince.
“Accept this guest token, and you will be considered half a member of the King Mansion.”
Duan Chaofeng explained, “However, I don’t ask you to enter the King Mansion. You can continue to stay outside and rebuild your Swallow Heron Sect. But if you encounter any danger or trouble, you can reveal this identity to protect yourself and the sect. You can also notify the King Mansion and ask me for help.”
Duan Chaofeng’s words meant that he wanted to be Xu Ning’s backer and support Xu Ning in rebuilding the Swallow Heron Sect.
Xu Ning knew that he had to say something.
“Thank you, Your Highness.”
Xu Ning finally recognized the status of a Prince Guest.
Xu Ning knew very well that with his current level, he was far from being able to become a Prince Guest.
All this was because he had found the secret treasures for Duan Chaofeng and displayed his talents. Most importantly, rebuilding the Swallow Heron Sect was one of Duan Chaofeng’s methods to fight against Princess Mo Lan.
He had obtained this guest token through the combinations of all kinds of variables.
Cheng Zengtao’s heart was in turmoil.
The rebuilding of the Swallow Heron Sect would be easy after receiving the support of the Harmony Prince.
With this, the Wind Parasol Pavilion and the Green Edge Sect would definitely not dare to attack the Swallow Heron Sect.
The Swallow Heron Sect no longer had to act cautiously. They could completely open up resources and recruit disciples openly.
Although the Swallow Heron Sect might be a tool for Duan Chaofeng, it brought them tangible benefits.
“The current scale of your Swallow Heron Sect is too small.”
Duan Chaofeng deliberately reminded, “It’s best to expand the scope of the sect first, don’t feel satisfied staying in such a small place. The location of your old sect is quite good. If you have the opportunity, remember to move back.”
“Move back…”
The old site of the Swallow Heron Sect was on Chuiyun Mountain in the west of State Guqing, and it was filled with abundant resources.
However, after the sect was disbanded, the territory had been occupied by the Wind Parasol Pavilion, becoming an important base of the sect.
Duan Chaofeng was obviously encouraging him to take back the territory from the Wind Parasol Pavilion.
“Thank you for your advice.”
Xu Ning understood.
Once he advanced to the origin returnance realm, his combat strength would be comparable to a core materialization realm martial artist.
With the help of the prince’s status, he could easily try to take back the old site of the sect.
Duan Chaofeng smiled faintly when he noticed Xu Ning understanding his intentions.
“When you take back the sect, I will personally visit and congratulate you.”
Duan Chaofeng stood up. “When the time comes, there will naturally be a big gift for you as well.”
“Let’s go.”
Duan Chaofeng waved his hand and strode away. Zhang He followed closely behind. “Farewell, Your Highness.” Xu Ning and Cheng Zengtao personally saw Duan Chaofeng off.
“Sect Master!”
After Duan Chaofeng left, Cheng Zengtao could no longer hide his excitement. “The sect is about to rise!”
Cheng Zengtao never expected this.
Although there were other reasons for this, Cheng Zengtao knew that Xu Ning was the key factor.
“Go and tell this news to the three elders.”
Xu Ning was calm. “The change is too sudden. There is no need to hide anything now. Don’t you want to expand the sect and recruit more disciples? Just do it without any restrain.”
“Yes, Sect Master!”
After receiving Xu Ning’s confirmation, Cheng Zengtao quickly went to find Shao Xun and the other two, ready to share this good news.
Xu Ning stood still and thought about what Duan Chaofeng had said before he left.
‘Duan Chaofeng asked to take back the old site of the sect, and he will come to congratulate me when it’s done…’
Xu Ning thought to himself, ‘This is obviously a test for me… To take back the sect from the hands of the Wind Parasol Pavilion is proof of my value. Him visiting me again is an affirmation of my value.’
‘If I can’t do it, then I have no value…’
Xu Ning saw it clearly.
‘Forget it, in this case, I should quickly break through to the origin returnance realm…’
Obtaining the two attribute true origins he needed from Duan Chaofeng saved him a lot of effort.
Duan Chaofeng and Zhang He also looked at Xu Ning who brought Cheng Zengtao along.
Although they didn’t recognize Xu Ning and Cheng Zengtao, they could sense that the origin returnance realm Cheng Zengtao was led by Xu Ning who was in the astral qi realm.
“I am the Sect Master of the Swallow Heron Sect, Xu Ning.”
