Chapter 838: Chapter 838
He was suddenly attacked by a strong figure, injuring his Yin God.
It was only recently that the injury to his Yin God was finally healed.
Even though the injury was healed, he never forgot the enmity from that day.
Thus, faced with the invitation of Shen Wenyan, the Great Grandmaster, he chose to take on this task and came to Dongling County on his own initiative.
Because Luoshui County is located in Dongling County.
And Baisha County is the neighboring county to Luoshui County.
But when he arrived in Baisha County and learned the actual situation, his previous thoughts wavered the moment he saw Jiang Ning’s appearance.
Someone who he once viewed as insignificant as an ant has now become the Patrol Envoy of Dongling County.
The populace cannot contend with authorities.
Though he is the Earth King of the Yellow Heaven Sect, possessing a yin god and a peak fourth-grade martial arts prowess,
He doesn’t have the confidence or courage to contend with the Patrol Envoy of Dongling County.
Staring at the falling glow in the sky, he pondered for a long time, then slowly withdrew his gaze.
At this moment, he completely dismissed the thought of revenge.
It cannot be provoked.
Jiang Ning let out a long breath, expelling the impure energy accumulated in his abdomen.
The heat waves rolled, distorting and blurring his view.
[Skill]: Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill (Great Success 7563/10000)
He glanced at the panel and nodded to himself in satisfaction.
The accumulation of experience for the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill had reached over seven thousand five hundred points.
With his current efficiency, as long as the weather is fine and things go smoothly, he can break through this technique to the Perfect Realm within a month.
At that time, it would be the moment he achieves the status of a Heavenly Person Grandmaster.
With the previously promised D-level great merit by Shen Wenyan, he won’t have to worry about obtaining the Magic Gate needed to become a Heavenly Person Grandmaster.
The authority of a D-level great merit is enough for him to exchange for the Magic Gate he desires.
With these two issues resolved, stepping into the Third Grade and achieving Heavenly Person Grandmaster is naturally not a problem.
Jiang Ning silently muttered in his heart, clenching his fist.
His turbulent heart re-settled into calmness, and he again gently exhaled a breath of impure energy.
"Brother Jiang, finished practicing?" Bai Luoyu saw Jiang Ning turn around and stood up with a smile.
"Finished!" Jiang Ning nodded.
He looked down for a moment.
The crowd was even sparser, counting several queues together, there were less than five hundred people left.
With the efficiency of the five queues proceeding together, it would soon be done.
"Are these the last batch of residents below?" Jiang Ning asked.
"Yes, this is the last batch!" Bai Luoyu smiled, then also put down the book in his hand.
The cover of the book strikingly bore several big characters.
"Baihua Young Master—Hua Xiaoyu Biography."
Jiang Ning couldn’t help but smile knowingly.
This was a miscellaneous book, considered a type of romantic novel, he had read it, and could only say its content was a bit lurid.
Seeing the knowing smile on Jiang Ning’s face, Bai Luoyu seemed to understand his expression.
With a bit of embarrassment in his expression, he withdrew the miscellaneous book from the table.
Then pretending to stretch lazily, easing the congestion from sitting long.
"Tonight, you can’t be absent from the celebration feast!" Bai Luoyu said.
"Rest assured! I won’t be absent!" Jiang Ning said.
Although at this moment he was eager to return, eager to test the effects of his breakthrough in the authority of Divine Descendants.
But merely an afternoon’s time, he could still wait.
The celebration feast ended.
Jiang Ning and Bai Luoyu leaned against the railing.
Watching the crowd below slowly disperse.
"Next, Baisha County should be peaceful for some time!" Bai Luoyu said.
Jiang Ning nodded: "It will be!"
"To speak of it, the common people truly suffer hardships, whether it’s natural disasters or man-made calamity, it is a catastrophe for them." Bai Luoyu said.
Jiang Ning deeply agreed and nodded.
"Prosperity brings suffering to the people, downfall also brings suffering!"
Upon hearing these words, Bai Luoyu chewed on them for a moment. Thɪs chapter is updated by N()velFire.net
"Brother Jiang, your words carry a deep meaning!"
Jiang Ning said: "Brother Bai, do you know who this Earth King of the Yellow Heaven Sect is?"
Speaking, Jiang Ning’s gaze fell on the Taoist below in the Eight Diagrams Yellow Robe.
At the recent banquet, he felt a familiar sensation from this Earth King.
But no matter how he thought, he couldn’t figure out where this familiar sensation stemmed from.
"Him?" Bai Luoyu’s gaze also fell on the Taoist below in the Eight Diagrams Yellow Robe.
"Yes!" Jiang Ning nodded.
Though they didn’t point him out, they knew whom the other was talking about.
"He Zhongchun, this person used to be a traveling doctor, later met the Yellow Heaven Taoist, and joined the Yellow Heaven Sect."
"Due to his remarkable talent in Dao cultivation, he received enlightenment from the Yellow Heaven Taoist, successfully uncovering his potential and achieved one of the Yellow Heaven Sect’s positions, gaining significant status."
Jiang Ning whispered to himself, then slowly shook his head.
He still had no impression.
It was at this moment.
He Zhongchun below turned his head towards the floor where the banquet just occurred, seeing Jiang Ning and Bai Luoyu leaning against the railing.
He then calmly withdrew his gaze.
He could sense that Jiang Ning and Bai Luoyu were watching him now.
But he wasn’t afraid.
In the entire Baisha County, the only one he really feared was Zhao Yulong.
Though his martial arts cultivation was Fourth Grade, he had already condensed a Yin God.
Relying on his accomplishments on the path of Immortal Dao, executing Daoist Divine Power, he was enough to rival a Third Grade Grandmaster.
If allowed to set up the array he mastered in advance, a typical Grandmaster could even face the risk of regret.
"Brother Jiang, do you think with the God Worship Sect gone and the Yellow Heaven Sect spreading quickly through Baisha County after this incident, is it a good thing or a bad thing?"
"Who knows what the future holds!" Jiang Ning shook his head.
Then he said, "But if it were me, I wouldn’t allow any folk religion to spread. Regardless if the doctrine is right or wrong, ultimately it’s not a good thing!"
"I feel the same way!" Bai Luoyu nodded, then said, "Actually, those above think the same."
"But the Yellow Heaven Sect is different, that Yellow Heaven Taoist is one of the second-ranked existences in the world."
"His martial arts have reached the ultimate peak, and the Daoist techniques have become divine. It’s said that once he overcomes the Heavenly Tribulation, he’ll be an immortal of the time."
"Some even say, among the five people with the second rank in the world, he is actually the only true second in the world."
"You say with such an existence and the Martial Saint hasn’t been seen for many years, who dares come up against him."
"The Saint initially wanted him as the Great Xia Country’s Master, to neutralize this potential threat, but ultimately, it was rejected by the Yellow Heaven Taoist."
Listening to Bai Luoyu’s words.
Jiang Ning nodded slightly, Bai Luoyu’s insights also solved part of his internal doubts.
"Did the Martial Saint not appear when the Inspection Office was established?" he asked.
"Never appeared!" Bai Luoyu shook his head.
Continued to say, "Though the position of the Residence Master of the Royal Capital’s Inspection Office is held by him, he hasn’t shown up."
"These days, it’s not him running the office, but his two disciples."
"These two disciples hold the position of Deputy Mansion Master."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning nodded.
"Thank you, Brother Bai, for clearing my doubts!"
Bai Luoyu heard him thank and smiled: "Brother Jiang, you’ve ascended a bit late, so you might not know about these things, but they’re not some big secrets!"
He lifted his wine bottle in hand.
Jiang Ning also picked up his wine bottle from the railing.
With a light clash of the wine bottles, both took a sip.
As Jiang Ning’s gaze crossed the street below, He Zhongchun, the Earth King of the Yellow Heaven Sect, was no longer visible.
Thoughts flashed in his mind, then he slowly shook his head.
Unable to understand where this sense of familiarity came from, he was too lazy to ponder further.
Regarding the Yellow Heaven Sect, he could only stay cautious.
It is indeed the biggest folk sect that can’t be solved, a headache even for those in the temple.
He currently has no means to solve it either.
That title isn’t simple.
Especially after witnessing the power of Shen Wenyan, the Heavenly Person Grandmaster who could break through the air in flesh, break the sound barrier.
The outbreak of True Meaning of Martial Arts could lead to the Summer Thunder Shock attacking the Blood Pool.
From these points alone, it is enough to see the fearsome power of a Second Grade Heavenly Person Grandmaster.
He knows things would only get more terrifying further up.
On the path of martial arts.
Below the Third Grade, he thinks human power has limits.
But beyond Third Grade, starting from Heavenly Person Grandmaster,
It vaguely surpasses the limits of human power.
He temporarily couldn’t comprehend how strong the second in the world truly is.
