Chapter 913: Chapter 380: Essence Soul of the Tier Eight Earth Armor Dragon

Hearing this voice, Chu Ning felt a little surprised.

Even though the voice was not often heard by him, it was somewhat familiar, precisely from Shi Xuerong, who went with him to No-Spirit Island back then.

He immediately said to the two:

“The visitor is Fellow Daoist Shi Xuerong from Guiyuan Sect, I’ll go and see him first.”

After speaking, Chu Ning was about to walk out but suddenly thought of something and turned his head to Cen Zijin:

“Zijin, come with me, won’t you?”

Cen Zijin had indeed heard Chu Ning mention the matter of Shi Xuerong and knew that the two had spent some time together on No-Spirit Island.

At this moment, she shook her head and said, “You go ahead, I don’t know this Fellow Daoist.”

“It doesn’t matter, once you’ve seen him, you’ll know, won’t you?”

While speaking, Chu Ning did not care about Cen Zijin’s reaction and directly reached out to pull her along.

Outside the door stood Shi Xuerong, but she did not come alone.

There was another Golden Core Female Cultivator Chu Ning knew, Jia Yumin.

Back then, this lady and Shi Xuerong traveled together in the Golden Spirit Realm, and when passing through the peak-top Spiritual Mist with spatial rift, a few of them were together.

Shi Xuerong didn’t have too obvious a change compared to decades ago, seeming to have matured slightly.

Seeing Chu Ning come out, her face was full of joy.

Her gaze also fell upon Cen Zijin beside Chu Ning, showing a hint of doubt in her eyes.

But she didn’t ask much, quickly returning her gaze to Chu Ning, with a tone full of joy.

“Fellow Daoist Chu, you have finally returned; ever since No-Spirit Island, I have been asking your sect for your news every so often.

A year ago when you returned to the sect, I was in secluded cultivation and did not receive the news in time, I hope Fellow Daoist Chu does not mind.”

“Fellow Daoist Shi is too courteous, Mr. Chu ought to thank Fellow Daoist Shi for immediately passing the message to the sect back then.”

Saying this, Chu Ning turned and cupped his hands to Jia Yumin.

“Fellow Daoist Jia, it’s been years, I hope you’ve been well.”

When Jia Yumin looked at Chu Ning, her face showed surprise.

Shi Xuerong was eager to greet Chu Ning and did not notice the difference in Chu Ning’s cultivation level, Jia Yumin at this moment saw Chu Ning’s Golden Core Late Stage cultivation.

Immediately, she cupped her hands in return:

“Fellow Daoist Chu, how have you been? It’s been decades, and I didn’t expect you to have advanced to the Golden Core Late Stage, that’s really worth congratulating!

Who might this fellow cultivator be?”

Shi Xuerong originally was listening to Jia Yumin talk about Chu Ning being a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator, and was joyfully looking at Chu Ning.

After hearing Jia Yumin’s words, her gaze suddenly fell on Cen Zijin.

Chu Ning immediately began introducing the parties.

“Fellow Daoist Jia, Fellow Daoist Shi, this is my partner Cen Zijin, who is now also an Elder of our sect.”

Upon hearing Chu Ning’s words, Shi Xuerong’s face instantly changed, the smile on her face turned stiff.

Such a clear change in expression couldn’t be concealed from the other three people.

At this moment, Chu Ning pretended not to notice, turning to Cen Zijin and said:

“Zijin, these two are Fellow Daoist Jia and Fellow Daoist Shi from Guiyuan Sect.”

“Zijin greets the two fellow Daoists.”

At this moment, Cen Zijin gracefully cupped her hands in salute to the two.

Jia Yumin immediately returned the salute, while Shi Xuerong seemed somewhat lost.

The former noticed this and hurriedly reached out to pull her.

Shi Xuerong finally pulled herself together, looking at Cen Zijin with complex emotions.

“Greetings Fellow Daoist Cen.”

Seeing Shi Xuerong’s obvious change in expression, Cen Zijin couldn’t help but smile and glance at Chu Ning.

Chu Ning’s face remained calm, showing no sign of reaction.

Jia Yumin noticed the atmosphere was slightly awkward and immediately spoke out:

“Fellow Daoist Chu, is Jiuhua Sect participating by sending only two fellow Daoists for the competition?

I wonder which senior from the sect is leading, as we have already arrived, it would be proper to pay a visit.”

Upon hearing Jia Yumin’s words, Chu Ning immediately stepped sideways, guiding the two into the courtyard.

“Leading the team is the sect’s Supreme Elder, Master Tang, and there’s only me participating in the competition.

Zijin is here just to broaden her horizon and meet people.”

Immediately, Chu Ning and Cen Zijin led the way ahead, while Jia Yumin and Shi Xuerong followed behind.

Looking at the back of Chu Ning and Cen Zijin, Shi Xuerong’s eyes were full of complex emotions.

Jia Yumin unconsciously pulled her gently again.

Shi Xuerong nodded to her senior sister, taking a soft breath, her expression gradually returning to normal.

“Fellow Daoist Chu, I’m curious, where did you teleport to from No-Spirit Island back then.

It took years before you returned to the sect.”

“Back then I was teleported to the Northern Cold Land and it was by chance that I was able to return.”

After Chu Ning’s answer, Jia Yumin and Shi Xuerong’s faces were full of astonishment.

“Northern Cold Land? No wonder.”

While chatting, they entered the courtyard and paid their respects to Tang Xuan.

This Supreme Elder of Jiuhua Sect did not intervene in the young cultivators’ matters but left the courtyard after greeting them, saying he was going to meet old friends.

Chu Ning also learned from Shi Xuerong that she had teleported back to Western Alliance Continent from No-Spirit Island back then.

Although she wasn’t in the Cloud Peak Mountain Range, it didn’t take much effort for her to return to Guiyuan Sect smoothly.

Observing Shi Xuerong’s aura, Chu Ning discovered she had reached the peak of the Golden Core Middle Stage, only a step away from the Golden Core Late Stage.

During the casual chat, Shi Xuerong suddenly remembered something and reminded:

“Fellow Daoist Chu, regarding the incident in Golden Spirit Realm years ago, many sects within the alliance have held grudges.

When I returned to the sect, quite a few sect elders inquired about it.
