Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 138: Chapter 114: Revenge and Resolution, Graceful Departure (Two-in-One)_4 ”So eager to seek death?”

Feng shuddered all over. ”My lord, spare me!”

But Ning Qi had already activated the Pupil Technique.

He wanted to know the causes and consequences of the destruction of Snow Plum Manor back then.

A moment later.

Ning Qi sighed lightly in his heart.

Just as he had speculated before, it was indeed because his father unintentionally learned about a small blood pool that led to the massacre, just like the Divine Sword Sect.

At this moment.

Feng convulsed violently, his body and spirit tormented to the point of being unrecognizable. From the previous questioning, he vaguely understood something, pointing tremulously at Ning Qi, but unable to speak.

Ning Qi’s gaze was calm.

He reached out with a finger, and clusters of plum flower Sword Qi bloomed, shredding him to pieces in Feng’s widened eyes.

Strands of regret were cut into pieces, drifting into the air.

This was the family ultimate skill, Night Plum Swordsmanship, left by Ning Qi’s mother, Jiang Xuemei, in his swaddling clothes.

For so many years, Ning Qi had long mastered it but never thought of optimizing it, choosing instead to keep it in its original form.

Using the Night Plum Swordsmanship today to kill the culprit who exterminated Snow Plum Manor back then was also barely a consolation to the spirits of his parents in heaven.

Ning Qi felt an unprecedented peace inside.

The stronghold was silent.

Only the sound of the blood pool bubbling.

Ning Qi did not let himself linger long in that peculiar emotion.

Killing Feng was just a temporary conclusion to the matter.

The rest, he would deal with once he became stronger.

After all.

Feng and the numerous black-clad men were merely executors.

The Southern Border Alliance’s cultivation of the Blood King Gu was the root of all disasters, otherwise perhaps now he would still be enjoying his parents’ love and have a happy family.

He took a deep breath.

Took out the Purple Jade Bamboo Tube that previously held the Skinny Elder’s Blood King Gu.

Then he chanted special syllables to summon it forth.

At this moment, the blood pool, having devoured so much human blood essence, had long reached an extreme in its sinister aura. Upon seeing this, the Blood King Gu immediately became active, eagerly burrowing into it.

Ning Qi waited quietly.

Having slaughtered so many people at once, he needed to adjust his mindset. Fortunately, his dao heart was firm, as these were all individuals who deserved death, so it wouldn’t affect him.

The sinister vitality within the blood pool began to weaken visibly to the naked eye.

While the aura of the Blood King Gu continued to grow stronger.

After a while.

The Blood King Gu voluntarily surfaced from the blood pool, its three pairs of wings at the back had become full and glossy, and Ning Qi could not help but smile; this Blood King Gu had matured.

He had a sudden thought and released the previous Blood King Gu as well.

In an instant.

The two Blood King Gu met, exuding an incomparably fierce aura, their wings flapping, about to fight each other instantly.

Ning Qi’s Gang Qi moved, swiftly subduing the two Blood King Gu, then respectively putting them back.

He pondered. ”Blood King Gu cannot coexist; perhaps this is the secret to cultivating Blood Emperor Gu? Is this what nurturing Gu is?”

Of course, he also understood that cultivating a Blood Emperor Gu certainly wouldn’t be so straightforward; it must involve even more profound Secret Techniques.

But Ning Qi had little interest.

Whether it was Blood King Gu or Blood Emperor Gu, it was obvious that breaking through realms by relying on external forces would inherently have flaws, perhaps even fatal ones.

This was something Ning Qi could not tolerate.

Moreover, just looking at the birthing method of the Blood King Gu, it was evidently sinister and would not suit leaving it for his senior brothers in the future. If it led to being controlled at the Celestial Human Realm upon breaking through, it would be counterproductive.

The greatest use of the Blood King Gu for him was to refine it into a Pill to help him ascend to the Primordial Core Realm faster.

Ning Qi estimated.

If he could set foot into the Primordial Core Realm, his strength would see a significant leap, and by then, few in the Celestial Human Realm would be qualified to face him in combat.

He was somewhat expectant.

Ning Qi flew into the air, spreading his perception to ensure no one escaped.

Then.

He began to erase the traces of the previous battle.

A while later.

Ning Qi looked at the now unrecognizable stronghold, casually set a great fire, and satisfactorily nodded.

If there were no capable individuals in the Southern Border, then it would be impossible to restore the battle traces at that time, leaving everyone happy.

If there were capable people, even if they pursued the investigation, they would only find it to be the work of members of the Demon Sect, and that wouldn’t be a loss.

After all, Ning Qi had not used any other methods from start to finish. ”However, the people of the Southern Border will not discover it so quickly. It will probably take some time before they notice something is wrong when they can’t contact the Fatty Elder and the Skinny Elder.”

From the information obtained through the previous Pupil Technique inquiry, it was known.

Only the Fatty Elder and the Skinny Elder could contact the Southern Border Alliance, as for the others, they had no knowledge.

There were still some minor officials left in Qing State, and when they couldn’t reach Feng, Rain, Thunder, and Zhao Dong, even if they realized there was a major problem, they had no way to report it proactively.

Ning Qi watched the roaring flames rising.

Quietly left.

One day later.

Ning Qi appeared where Dong He was hiding and quietly kidnapped him.

Faced with Dong He’s horrified and fearful gaze, he coldly crippled him, then handed him over to disciples of the True Martial Sect, letting them secretly send him to True Martial Mountain, where Dong He’s fate would ultimately be decided by Taoist Longshan and Zhuang Chen.

After doing all this.

This matter was finally fully resolved.

Ning Qi looked at the scenery outside the window, feeling a bit emotional, as it was the first time he had descended from the mountain in nine years, and it was for revenge.

With this rare opportunity, he planned to visit the location of the True Martial Underground Palace mentioned by Taoist Longshan earlier.

It was here that Taoist Longshan acquired the True Martial inheritance, but after searching several times later, he found the underground palace missing, so he wanted to see for himself what was going on.

Besides.

He also intended to visit the small town with Martial Saint rumors mentioned by Ye Qinghe earlier, to see if he could obtain more useful information.

This was also why he did not personally take Dong He back.
