The three of the Meng family were barely holding on, but when the two disciples from Xue Long Shan no longer held back, the three Mengs suddenly found themselves in a desperate situation.

  "If I had known, I would have listened to Shi Tou." The woman with a good face and slender figure turned pale with regret, because after the three became Zifu disciples, they didn't dare to practice anymore. Once they reached the Zifu period, their foundation was already established, and generally speaking, powerful sects wouldn't be willing to accept them as disciples.

  So the three of them were all in the early stages of the Zi Fu realm. This time when they came out, Meng Yan had said: "Xiao Xin, our strength is at the bottom among the Zi Fu cultivators. If we ride on our flying treasures... once we're intercepted by someone, it'll be dangerous. It's better for us to walk on the ground with our mounts, just like ordinary people slowly walking, although it takes a long time but safety comes first. Cultivators are too lazy to take action against some ordinary people."

  "You fool." Another companion, Meng Jun, said angrily, "Ride a mount on the ground and walk slowly? A journey of over a million miles, it's feared that it will take a year to arrive! Along the way, we'll be trekking through mountains and rivers, are you willing to do this? I don't believe it, let's fly as fast as we can, it will only take us a few days to get there, but in just a few short days, we've encountered someone who is hostile towards us."

  "Stones, Meng Jun said something reasonable, it should be fine in a few days." Meng Xuan didn't want to spend another year of hard work, so he decided to fly to Anping City.

  What a pity...

  They really encountered the dark hand, some cultivators were buried in hard work, some cultivators relied on killing to grow up, and some relied on robbery. Robbery is the fastest way to earn treasure, and there are indeed many people who do this.

  ……

  "Hmph." A strand of silk ribbon deflected the incoming flying sword. However, the impact still caused Meng Xian to spit out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

  "Xiao Xin!" The burly man Meng Yan was suddenly anxious, gritted his teeth, and his face turned red. However, his breathing suddenly became rapid, and the nine black stone balls flying in front of him shot up and flew towards the two white-clad men with a whooshing sound.

  "Run fast, you run fast!" Meng Yan yelled.

  "Rock!"

  Meng Xuan's face changed. Of course, she could see that Meng Yan had already used the forbidden technique, and they were going to enter a sect, using the forbidden technique would harm their foundation. Wanting to enter a good sect might be difficult now.

  "Run quickly!" Meng Yan was frantic.

  "Still not leaving!" The pale youth beside him had already transformed into a wisp of smoke and escaped, Meng Xun gritted his teeth and followed suit.

  Those two men in white clothes saw the situation and just sneered coldly. They thought they could escape so easily. What a fantasy.

  Hmph!

  Pfft!

  A shadowy figure suddenly burst out of the ground, as fast as lightning, and shot straight through the heads of two men in white clothes.

  "How is it possible!"

  "What...?"

  Two men in white clothes stared wide-eyed, their eyes filled with incredulity. They had committed numerous robberies and were extremely cautious. During the fight, they were even more vigilant, alert to their surroundings, yet they did not feel any fluctuations in the yuan force, and were suddenly attacked by the flying sword at close range. Moreover, their own magical armor was unable to block it in the slightest.

  Blood splattered everywhere, mixed with a hint of white.

  Two men in white clothes went limp and fell to the ground, never making a sound again.

  "Kill, kill." The burly man Meng Yan seemed to have gone mad. He was still exerting his strength to control the nine black stone balls, but suddenly he stared at what was in front of him in shock...

  Two men in white clothes fell to the ground?

  Is he dead?

  "This...this..." Meng Yan found it hard to believe.

  Meng Jun, who was hastily escaping, looked back and saw the two white-clad figures lying on the ground in the distance. With his cultivator's eyesight, he could clearly see the bloodstains on the ground.

  "Xīn mèi!" Meng Jun transmitted his voice, "Don't escape anymore, the two people from Xue Long Shan are already dead."

  Meng Xun stopped in his tracks and turned around, only to see two figures lying on the ground in the distance where they had previously clashed.

  "Go and take a look." Meng Jun said.

  "Mm." Meng Xun also followed cautiously.

  The two of them flew back to the place where they had just been fighting. Meng Jun and Meng Xin both looked puzzled, looking at the silly-looking man Meng Yan standing beside them, Meng Jun asked: "Stone, what's going on?"

  Boom!

  Flames suddenly appeared around them, directly enveloping two Snow Dragon Mountain disciples, burning them to a crisp.

  "Fire!" The three men and women of the Meng family were all startled.

  A figure emerged from the mountain forest, with a beast following closely behind. Upon closer inspection... it was a youth with a clear and handsome face, dressed in animal hide, accompanied by a large white dog.

  Whoosh.

  The beast skin youth waved his hand and all the magical treasures left behind by the two Snow Dragon Mountain disciples after they were incinerated were collected.

  "Thanks for saving my life." Meng Yan, the burly man, directly knelt down and kowtowed to express his gratitude.

  "There's no need for such courtesy, nor do you have to call me senior. We can just address each other as fellow Taoists." Ji Ning looked at this sturdy man and couldn't help but feel a sense of fondness towards him. Earlier, under the influence of his divine sense, he had discovered that this man was using a forbidden technique to go berserk, and had even let the other woman leave first. This reminded Ji Ning of his own uncle, who had never been seen before.

  My uncle was like that back then, allowing my mother to leave alive and also allowing me to come into this world.

  Although Ji Ning rushed urgently, even using his divine sense to control the quiet and extinguish the demonic sword to arrive one step ahead to kill him, the stubborn illness left behind by this foolishly thick man's forbidden technique was difficult to eliminate.

  "What a pity." Ji Ning sighed quietly.

  "Thanks, fellow Taoist." The handsome young man with a fair complexion pulled up the stout man, "We three are the descendants of Meng, this is Meng Yan, next to him is Meng Xin, and I am Meng Jun. May I ask who you are?"

  "Stone." Meng Xuan also pulled the foolish man's hand, with tears in her eyes. At the same time, she looked at Ji Ning, and felt curious and reverent towards this beast-skin boy.

  Ji Ning nodded and said: "My name is Ji Ning, this time I went to Na Ancheng and happened to meet three of them."

  "Is Brother Ji Ning also going to Anping City?" The handsome and fair-skinned young man asked with a smile, "We three are also going to Anping City. If Brother Ji Ning doesn't mind, why don't we travel together?"

  Meng Yan and Meng Xin also showed a look of expectation.

  Ji Ning nodded lightly: "Okay!"

  At the time of the divine consciousness, Meng Yan had already begun to cast a forbidden spell... So Ji Ning didn't know the identities of these three people. However, listening to their names, it can be seen that they are from the same clan. Moreover, looking at their appearance and age, none of them are very old.

  "From the same tribe, three Purple Mansion cultivators emerged, all of whom are of the same age." Ji Ning thought to himself, "And they're all surnamed Meng. One of the top powers marked on the map I brought is a Meng clan."

  ……

  Choosing to travel with these three people, Ji Ning also wanted to learn more about the outside world through them. After all, the records of the Ji family about the outside world were too few.

  "Come, Brother Ji Ning, have a taste of this fine wine. It's brewed within our Meng clan."

  "Try some of this fruit, Brother Ji Ning."

  Only a large ship was flying in the clouds and fog, and Ji Ning and Meng's three people all sat down separately. In front of them were placed tables, on which were placed fruits and fine wines. Ji Ning's strength was obviously extremely high, and Meng's three people also deliberately tried to curry favor with him, and since Ji Ning walked with them, it was equivalent to having a protective deity.

  "It really is Meng's." The fellow traveler had been with him for more than two days, and Ji Ning knew more and more about him.

  These three people, Meng Junjian was good at flattering, but his fawning was too obvious, which made Ji Ning somewhat disgusted.

  Meng Xun's appearance is absolutely top-notch, and it's hard to find such a beauty even in the Ji family.

  Meng Yan. He was the honest man who had previously cast a forbidden spell, and also the only one of the three Ji Ning who had a good impression of him and was willing to befriend him.

  "Meng Jun is right." Meng Xuan shook his head and said in a crisp tone, "Our Dongqu Sect has always been bullied and oppressed. The direct descendants of the Dongqu Sect have had a hard time making ends meet. We, as side branches, are naturally even more miserable... Being able to barely cultivate to the Purple Mansion is already considered lucky for us. Wanting to obtain top-notch cultivation methods? It's simply impossible, other sects will suppress our growth and not let us rise up. So after we three became early-stage Purple Mansion cultivators, we agreed to set out together to Ancheng City. Ancheng City has branches of various major sects. We can try out many sects one by one, unfortunately Shi Tou is already..."

  Meng Yan smiled: "It's nothing, being alive is good enough, it was just using a forbidden technique once, the impact isn't too big. In any case, we're almost at Ancheng City! We also have the opportunity to go further on the road of cultivation!"

  "Yes, we've left the tribe." Meng Jun gritted his teeth and said, "Wait until one of us becomes a Yuan Shen Dao person in the future. At that time, those old guys from the tribe will come to welcome us with open arms."

  "Put your feet on solid ground." Meng Yan looked at him for a moment.

  "Meng Jun suddenly let out a sigh: "Alas, the three of us are so miserable, with our proud Meng family background, yet we can't even compare to those two Snow Dragon Mountain disciples." Meng Jun's eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at Ji Ning, "Brother Ji Ning, your strength is impressive, killing those two Snow Dragon Mountain disciples was like slaughtering chickens. Those treasures must be nothing to you. Brother Ji Ning... why don't you grant us one or two of those treasures, so we can increase our strength and not drag you down?"

  "Just one or two things, no need for many." Meng Jun stared at Ji Ning, his eyes full of expectation.

  Ji Ning's eyebrows slightly furrowed.

  This Meng Jun... has flattered himself too much, and he also discovered another 'advantage' of his - shamelessness!

  "No one dislikes having too many methods." Ji Ning glanced at Meng Jun, "I'm planning to go to An Cheng City to exchange for a new method, but I have too few magical tools on hand and am afraid I won't be able to exchange for it. Fellow Daoist Meng Jun, would you lend me one or two?"

  Meng Jun's face turned pale, and he forced a smile. In his heart, he cursed: "This is really petty! Last time I flattered our clan's Ru Xu Gongzi, and Ru Xu Gongzi casually gave me a magical artifact. I've been flattering Ji Ning for so long, treating him to good wine, but not getting any benefits in return. Looking at how powerful he is, with a Purple Mansion Spirit Beast, I thought he was generous. Truly petty!"

  Ji Ning was too lazy to look at Meng Jun.

  With these three people, one is to understand more about the outside world through them, and two is because I have a good impression of Meng Yan.

  "Brother Ji Ning." Meng Xun pointed downwards and shouted, "Look, isn't that An Cheng City?"

  "Ancheng?" Ji Ning also turned her head to look over.

  In the distance below, there was a gigantic city that stretched as far as the eye could see, and even though it was thousands of miles away, Ji Ning could still faintly sense the waves of fluctuations emanating from that majestic metropolis. The fluctuations seemed weak at first glance, but they were actually endless and boundless.

  Ji Ning felt an intangible sense of oppression just by looking at him with his naked eye.

  "We've arrived at Ancheng City." Ji Ning's eyes held a deep longing.

  "Ancheng." Meng Jun, Meng Yan and that Meng Xin, all had the same longing and expectation in their eyes, an expectation for the future.
