"Not even leaving a single word behind?" The four Zifu disciples from the Yanshan branch, including Xu Fang, were so angry that they gritted their teeth. Just now, when they saw the words on the beast skin, they could feel the sword intent rushing towards them, and were even scared to the point of having weak legs. They understood that their realm was too low, and they couldn't understand the profundity of the sword intent contained in these words at all.
If this beast skin letter is seen by the high-level officials of Xuelong Mountain, they should be able to infer Ji Ning's strength. However, it is clear that Ji Ning is extremely cautious and does not give them any opportunity.
"The young master's letter has been delivered, I won't linger." The messenger from the Ji family turned around and walked out in a straightforward manner.
Yan Shan and others simply watched as the messenger left.
What should I do?
"That Winged Snake Lake has issued a ultimatum, what are we going to do?"
They looked at each other one by one, their eyes filled with fear and unease. Seeing the words on the beast skin, they knew... Ji Ning's strength had reached a level far beyond theirs, and he might be able to kill them with just one move. This huge gap in strength put tremendous pressure on them.
"No matter what, Winged Snake Lake's Jing Ning is someone who can easily kill a million elephants with just one move, we are no match for him, we must report to the sect leader."
"Yes, I must report to the sect leader."
"Third Brother, our Yanshan is really too far from Xuelong Mountain. In just ten days, we won't even have time to rush to Xuelong Mountain, let alone have a thorough discussion."
Xu Fang and the other three looked at each other, their eyes filled with helplessness and distress.
Yes.
Ji Ning only gave them ten days' time, but they were all just Zi Fu Xiu Shi, and in ten days, they couldn't even rush back to Xue Long Shan, let alone inform the sect about Ji Ning's threatening decree.
"There's no other way, we can only rely on the messenger symbol." Xu Fang shook his head and said, "Although it can't let the sect know the detailed situation, it can also let them know the general form."
"Hmm, crush the letter of faith."
"All I can do is crush the letter of introduction."
All four of them agreed.
The leader of the Yanshan branch of Xuelong Mountain is Xu Kezhenren. However, Xu Kezhenren was afraid of Ji Ning and hid back in the sect. When he left, he left behind three signal tokens and instructed: "These three signal tokens are different sizes, and I can sense it when you crush them. Crushing the smallest token means that the Ji family is about to attack; crushing the middle-sized token means that Ji Ning is about to attack; and crushing the largest token means that the Yanshan branch has been breached. Remember to only crush the signal tokens when it's truly an emergency."
The three blocks of warning signs represent different levels of danger.
Ji's family came to attack?
The situation isn't that bad yet, after all, in terms of foundation, the Yanshan branch of Xuelong Mountain is not afraid of Ji Ning at all. But if Ji Ning comes to attack... that would be a truly terrible situation. The Yanshan branch doesn't have anyone who can withstand that monstrous existence 'Ji Ning of Winged Snake Lake'.
Xu Fang flipped his hand over, and three talismans appeared in it.
Three pieces of different sizes.
"Ji Ning is going to take action this time... We have no choice."
"Can only hope that the sect will send a high-level representative and Ji Ning to negotiate."
They didn't think that the sect would really go to war with Ji Ning, after all, he was a disciple of the Heavenly Academy, and behind him was a fairy and the Heavenly Academy, which was far superior to Xue Long Shan. Although Xue Long Shan had a good relationship with An Cheng Bei's family, the sects of the Heavenly Academy were all in An Cheng City, and their relationship with An Cheng Bei's family was extremely close.
For Anping Beishan clan, Heibai Academy is its left and right arms, Xuelong Mountain is just its vanguard small pawn.
"Plop." Xu Fang crushed the second black-edged letter of guarantee.
Distant Snow Dragon Mountain, where snow accumulates all year round and never melts for thousands of years.
Those uneven peaks also have immortals living in them. In one ordinary peak, the master of this mountain is 'Xu Ke Zhen Ren'.
Xuke is really handsome, and his face is very white and smooth, looking very dashing.
Sitting cross-legged on a jade bed, Xu Ke, dressed in white robes, closed his eyes to cultivate his spirit, feeling carefree and at ease.
Two young boys stood by, waiting for orders at any moment.
"Huh?" Xǔ Kě's expression changed slightly, and with a flip of his hand, a black talisman appeared in his hand, which was now shattered.
The seal is in two parts, one piece broken off, this piece will also break off.
"This token is...". Xǔ Kě's expression changed as he recalled, "It's the second token, representing Jǐ Níng's upcoming confrontation with the Yān Shān branch."
"Ji Ning, who had been lying low for nine years, was finally going to make his move?" Xuke felt a little nervous.
The Xus initially settled within the borders of Yanshan, for two reasons. Firstly, they had a grudge to bear, as Xu Zhenren had died there. Secondly, they wanted to expand their territory. Who would have thought that shortly after they occupied the land, news arrived... Ji Ning had joined the Black and White Academy, causing the Xus to regret their decision. However, having taken control of Snow Dragon Mountain, they couldn't back down now, as its reputation wouldn't allow them to retreat.
As time passed, Ji Ning's reputation also grew bigger and bigger.
Xu Ke and the others were so frightened that they hid back in their sect, leaving only Xu Fang and the four Zi Fu cultivators there. Even if the four Zi Fu cultivators died, it would not be a great loss for the Xu family.
"Ji Ning is finally going to make his move, what should we do now? Although our Xu family has several Wanxiang True People, I'm afraid that even if they join forces, they won't be able to defeat Ji Ning. That's a monstrous existence who can even kill the Duque True Person." Xu Ke True Person thought anxiously, "There's no other way, we can only go and pay respects to our master."
Xue Long Shan, three Yuan Shen Dao people, namely Xue Yu Dao Ren, Han Yang Dao Ren and Hei Long Dao.
They respectively occupied the top three peaks, and Xu Ke's master was 'Snow Feather Dao'
Like the Black and White Academy, those sects that walk the path of the elite will have their second-generation disciples treat others with respect when interacting with third-generation disciples, they won't put on airs. However, for those sects with a mix of good and bad disciples, the stronger one is, the more arrogant they become.
As one of the three Yuan Shen Taoists on Xue Long Shan, Xue Yu Taoist's lineup was naturally even more shocking.
"Master Xu Ke seeks an audience."
"Master Xu Ke seeks an audience."
First was the mountain peak's gatekeeper Tongzi Tong, followed by one of the ninety-nine male and ninety-nine female Zifu Cultivators who went to report, and finally, a personal attendant, Wanxiang True Person, personally went to report.
"Master, I request permission for my junior brother to see you." A man in a grey robe said respectfully outside the quiet room.
"Affirmative." A calm voice came from within the quiet room.
It wasn't until after a series of transmissions that Xu Ke Zhen Ren finally arrived at the door of the quiet room. Normally, only disciples who were heavily used would be brought along by 'Xue Yu Dao Ren', while those like Xu Ke who had no hope of breaking through to Yuan Shen had long been driven out. Occasionally, they would be allowed to come and pay their respects for important matters.
"Disciple greets the master." Xu Ke Zhenren knelt respectfully outside the quiet room door. The quiet room was surrounded by accumulated snow, and Xu Ke Zhenren, dressed in a white robe, knelt on the pristine snow, which was quite a sight to behold.
"Ouch."
The door is open.
A Taoist priest with a slender figure and wearing a feathered cloak walked out. His black hair was scattered all over his shoulders, and his narrow eyes had a hint of a smile.
He is one of the three giants of Xue Long Shan, Snow Feather Dao Ren
Xue Yu Dao Ren has a key common point when accepting disciples... they must be handsome. He himself loves beauty and his disciples are the same. Whether it's Xu Ke who is kneeling down or the gray-robed man on the side, their appearance is all top-notch, very aesthetically pleasing.
"What's wrong?" Xue Yu said calmly.
"Reporting to the master." Xu Ke Zhenren was still kneeling down, "In the past, my Snow Dragon Mountain branch in Yanshan was almost destroyed because of the Ji family's reason. At that time, I and some of my clansmen entered their territory and helped stabilize the Snow Dragon Mountain branch again. However, now that Ji Ning's power is overwhelming, the Ji family, carrying Ji Ning's prestige, doesn't even put Snow Dragon Mountain in their eyes. Just today, I received news that Ji Ning will take action against my Snow Dragon Mountain branch in Yanshan. He will personally take action, and his disciples are really unable to do anything. Therefore, I have come to seek an audience with the master, please instruct me on how to deal with Ji Ning."
"Ji Ning?" Xue Yu's eyebrows slightly furrowed, "He personally took action? How did you get the news, from Yanshan to my Snow Dragon Mountain is quite far away, I'm afraid that now the Yanshan branch has already been destroyed."
"It shouldn't be." Xuke Zhenren said respectfully, "When I first left Yanshan, I left three signal tokens for my clansmen. Crushing different tokens represents different messages. The token they crushed this time...represents that Ji Ning is about to attack them. As soon as it's crushed, I'll immediately know and immediately come to Master."
Xue Yu Dao Ren nodded: "The year Yan Shan branched out and the matter with Ji Ning, I've also heard about it. This Ji Ning is indeed too arrogant. My Xue Long Mountain has always been calm and peaceful, never wanting to make an enemy of him, even when Xu Li and others died... My Xue Long Mountain just pretended it didn't happen, after all, in truth, back then my Xue Long Mountain was the one who suffered a loss."
"But he actually still wasn't satisfied and wanted to drive away the Yanshan branch?" Xue Yu's eyes had a hint of killing intent.
Can become Yuanshen Daoren, how can it be a good seed?
"Hmph, no matter what, he's just a True Person of the Myriad Images, not worthy of making Snow Dragon Mountain retreat like this." Xue Yu Dao Ren said coldly, "Let's go, follow me to Yan Mountain for a trip."
Xu Ke and the man in grey were both shocked.
Master, you're going there yourself?
They had all previously speculated whether envoys would be sent for negotiations.
"Just a mere True Immortal." Xue Yu Dao Ren said coldly. He was a cultivator who had cultivated for thousands of years and had now reached the state of Yuan Shen perfection. Although some heaven-defying True Immortals could fight against a Yuan Shen cultivator, there were also different levels among Yuan Shen cultivators: "Early, Middle, Late, and Perfection" stages.
Would he care about a Ji Ning?
"The Hei Bai Academy has a large number of talented disciples, including several fire saints who are considered to be the most gifted. Every few hundred years, another batch of geniuses emerges, but in the end, only a handful of immortals can be found in the academy." Xue Yu thought to herself, becoming an immortal is not that easy, "Ji Ning may be a genius, but it's still uncertain whether he'll become an immortal. Even if he does... being under the same banner as An Zhen Hou, what difference would it make?"
"Go and take a look at what kind of genius Ji Ning is, what kind of monster he is, to dare not put Snow Dragon Mountain in his eyes."
Xue Yu Dao Ren said calmly.
"Yes." The two real people immediately bowed their heads in response.
Immediately a large warship set sail with a group of followers and left Xuedragon Mountain in a majestic manner.
