Chapter 965 - 405: Instant Kill Nascent Soul

"Fellow Daoist Chu, this matter holds great significance.

Given that we’re not certain whether it’s Ao Langtian alone or the entire Daluo Sect that’s affiliated with the Demon Alliance.

I hope you temporarily refrain from mentioning this to outsiders."

Qin Changkong pondered for a while before speaking to Chu Ning.

Chu Ning naturally agreed.

And Qin Changkong immediately added,

"However, to be cautious, we must also send other cultivators to the sects near the Demon Alliance.

To prevent the Demon Alliance from exploiting any gaps while the Celestial Extreme Alliance shows no movement."

Chu Ning did not interrupt this arrangement within the alliance.

In fact, the reason he hadn’t informed others in the alliance earlier about Ao Langtian’s contact with the cultivators of the Black Cloud Sect.

Was because Chu Ning himself was uncertain whether it was merely Ao Langtian’s personal pursuit for the Gold Spirit Seed.

Or if the entire Daluo Sect was colluding with the Demon Alliance.

However, just now during the council meeting, among the sects that favored forming an alliance with the Demon Alliance, the Daluo Sect also voiced their opinion.

It was then that Chu Ning thought to inform Qin Changkong and the others of this matter.

At that moment, Qin Changkong suddenly spoke,

"Fellow Daoist Chu, we wish to invite you to go to the Celestial Universe Pavilion. Would you be willing?"

The Celestial Universe Pavilion is a middle-level sect within the Cloud Peak Alliance, with strength on par with the previous Jiuhua Sect.

The sect has a Nascent Soul cultivator and several Golden Core cultivators.

Since this pavilion is near the sphere of influence of the Demon Alliance, no Nascent Soul cultivator was arranged to come to Cloud Peak City prior.

This also indicates that the alliance already had concerns about the Demon Alliance.

"Celestial Universe Pavilion?" Upon hearing Qin Changkong’s words, Chu Ning nodded, having no particular objection.

After all, since arriving at Cloud Peak City, he was prepared to contribute to the alliance.

Compared to confronting the Celestial Extreme Alliance, Chu Ning actually preferred engaging with people from the Demon Alliance.

After all, his Undying Golden Body possesses a peculiar effect in restraining demonic cultivation techniques.

Qin Changkong then addressed Tang Xuan,

"Fellow Daoist Tang, with this arrangement, we need you to stay in the city for a while.

Outwardly, we’ll say Fellow Daoist Chu returned to the sect first."

"Is it not too risky for Junior Brother Chu to go alone if the Demon Alliance really attacks?"

Tang Xuan spoke hesitantly.

At this, Qin Changkong chuckled,

"Don’t worry, Fellow Daoist Tang, Fellow Daoist Wu Changdong from the Yunling Sect and a few others are outside the city. Fellow Daoist Chu will naturally be able to meet up with Fellow Daoist Wu at the Celestial Universe Pavilion."

"Fellow Daoist Wu?" Tang Xuan was slightly surprised at hearing Wu Changdong’s name.

"Isn’t it rumored that he hasn’t emerged from seclusion for years?"

Wu Changdong of the Yunling Sect is another Middle Stage of Nascent Soul cultivator within the Cloud Peak Alliance.

In terms of strength, he’s slightly superior to the existing vice alliance leaders and is said to be quite close to the Nascent Soul Late Stage.

However, Wu Changdong has always preferred peace and is a reclusive cultivator, hence he didn’t assume the title of vice alliance leader.

Moreover, over a hundred years ago, he went into seclusion, and the cultivators within the Cloud Peak Alliance almost forgot about him.

"Fellow Daoist Wu recently came out of seclusion; he’s considered a trump card of our alliance." Qin Changkong briefly explained.

Evidently, Qin Changkong and others had made preparations against the Demon Alliance earlier on.

It’s just that Chu Ning’s revelation made them take the matter more seriously.

Upon hearing that the well-known Middle Stage of Nascent Soul cultivator Wu Changdong was present, Tang Xuan immediately felt much more at ease.

Right then, Qin Changkong took out a talisman from his storage bag, briefly explained the matter, and then handed it over to Chu Ning.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, Fellow Daoist Wu Changdong and others are located in Yunxi Mountain, five thousand miles west of Cloud Peak City.

Please take this Sound Transmission Talisman and head there, Fellow Daoist Wu will understand the next steps."

"Alright!" Chu Ning accepted the Sound Transmission Talisman and stored it within his storage bag.

Then, after a brief exchange, Chu Ning and Tang Xuan finally left the grand hall.

The two returned first to the courtyard inhabited by Jiuhua Sect cultivators within the city; Chu Ning bid farewell to the other cultivators before flying towards the outside of the city.

The Jiuhua Sect cultivators were somewhat surprised that Chu Ning, not Tang Xuan, was the one returning to the sect first.

However, since it was a decision established among Nascent Soul cultivators, no one questioned it.

At the city gate, the duty remained with Sun Zhiyuan of the Celestial Sound Pavilion.

Seeing Chu Ning walking out, Sun Zhiyuan was inevitably surprised.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, where are you..."

"Returning to the sect," Chu Ning replied with a smile.

"Senior Brother Tang is here; since I’ve recognized the way, I’ll head back to the sect."

Sun Zhiyuan paused for a moment at this response before realizing,

"Oh, so Brother Tang is staying in the city. Alright, have a safe journey, Fellow Daoist."

Chu Ning cupped his hands and exited through the city gate, then flew towards the direction of Jiuhua Sect.

Given the outward claim of returning to the sect, Chu Ning had to act the part thoroughly, thus couldn’t immediately head towards the western Yunxi Mountain.

Watching Chu Ning’s gradually disappearing silhouette, Sun Zhiyuan lightly shook his head.

"Brother Tang protecting Fellow Daoist Chu in this way indicates his final effort for the sect.

It’s a pity my elder brother’s lifespan is short; if only he rested quietly, he could have lived a few more years. Staying in the city, moving out and fighting may deplete his Primordial Qi..."

Thinking thus, Sun Zhiyuan shook his head.

...

The vicinity of Cloud Peak City had numerous cultivators gathered recently, all of whom were Nascent Soul cultivators with powerful Divine Sense.

Concerned about attracting attention, Chu Ning flew two thousand miles away from Cloud Peak City before preparing to turn westward.

Simultaneously, Chu Ning naturally expanded his Divine Sense, preparing to sense whether there were other cultivators nearby.
