Chapter Ninety-Five: Overawing

  In the living room, He Zhengxun sat steadily on the sofa. Seeing He Xinyan and several others enter, he didn't get up, but revealed a faint smile, saying lightly: "He Zhangmen, it's been a long time."

  "Hello, Senior He." But He Xiannian didn't dare to argue, and politely said: "It's been five years since we last met, Senior. You look as elegant as ever."

  "Hehe, what elegance, old age." He Zhengxun chuckled and pointed to the sofa opposite him: "Everyone sit down, the world's mysterious gate is one family, no need for courtesy between us."

  He Zhengxun and a few others sat down carefully on the sofa, He Zhengxun glanced at Ningyuan and got up to make tea for everyone.

  As for the matter of serving tea and pouring water, it should be done by a junior, but since Gu Fenglin is not here, He Zhengxun can only take his place. Although he is Ningyuan's senior fellow disciple, after all, Ningyuan is the master of the school, so in this situation, He Zhengxun naturally wouldn't make Ningyuan lose face.

  He Zhengxun stood up, and Ningyuan also sat down on the sofa, smiling faintly: "Master He must have come to Shangjiang City this time for the Southeast Treasure Appraisal Conference as well."

  He Xinyan nodded and smiled wryly, "I came this time specifically for the Southeast Treasure Appraisal Conference. I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived, I would hear that Li Shidi had offended Ning Qianbei. I'm extremely anxious, so I brought Li Shidi to apologize to Ning Qianbei in person. I hope Ning Qianbei can see that Li Shidi is still learning the secret methods and doesn't understand many things, and give him another chance."

  "Is it the Li River?"

  Ning Yu smiled and looked at Li Chuanhe, seeing that his legs were shaking, before speaking: "Li Dashi offending me is not a big deal, I, Ning Yu, am still young but not petty. However, he used Xuanmen techniques on ordinary people just to spite me, which violates the third rule of the Xuanmen Five Precepts - reckless intimidation. The Jiuxuanmen has always had the duty of supervising the various Xuanmen sects, and this time I am simply doing my job."

  "Boom!"

  Listening to Ningyuan's words, Lichuan River directly knelt on the ground and begged: "Ning senior, it's all my fault for being bewitched, I was blinded by personal interests and rashly used magic spells on Jiang family father and son, speaking threatening words. Please, senior Ning, don't hold this against me, considering that I didn't cause any major trouble, forgive me just this once."

  At this time, Li Chuan River was really afraid, the five precepts of Xuanmen were completely ignored at times, and there were only a few people in Xuanmen who cared. To say something unpleasant, how many people in Jianghu really follow the rules? What everyone cares about is just one thing - freedom. Since they have abilities far beyond ordinary people, who would still tie their hands and feet?

  Although the Jiuxuanmen has the responsibility of supervising various factions, it is impossible to be too serious about it. After all, there are many sects in the Jianghu, and the Jiuxuanmen alone cannot contend with them. Generally, as long as the people of the Xuanmen are not too excessive, the Jiuxuanmen will turn a blind eye and not interfere, unless someone really kills innocent people and does evil, then the Jiuxuanmen will take action.

  The last of the five precepts of Xuanmen is the most crucial, and it is forbidden to rely on strength to bully the weak, wantonly killing the innocent. The previous few precepts, many people have a sense of proportion, and as long as they are not too excessive, no one will interfere with their affairs or look for trouble.

  There are also people in the Xuanmen who, like Li Chuanhe, use their skills to harm ordinary people for personal gain. Li Chuanhe's misfortune was that he encountered Ning Yu this time.

  This is just like a thief, stealing wallets and mobile phones and the like. As long as you're not caught by the police or no one reports it, the police won't specifically look for you. But if you steal from a policeman himself, isn't that asking to die?

  At this time, Ningyuan is standing on the side of righteousness. Some things are fishy, and can be said privately, but once they are brought to the surface, they become absolutely unacceptable. In this matter, Ningyuan has the upper hand, and even if he were to put it in front of his fellow appraisers at the Southeast Treasure Appraisal Conference, he would still dare to speak with confidence, unless someone dares to question the Xuanmen Five Precepts, which are not set by Ningyuan himself.

  Watching Li Chuanhe kneel down to Ning Yuan, He Xiannian couldn't bear it and turned his head away. After all, Li Chuanhe was also a member of the Shanling Sect, and now he was kneeling down to Ning Yuan, which made the Shanling Sect lose face.

  "Hmm!"

  "If you've done something wrong, you have to pay the price. If begging for mercy was useful, what's the point of having the Five Precepts of the Mystic Gate? In the future, wouldn't everyone in the martial arts world be able to act recklessly?"

  Ning Yuan narrowed his eyes and hadn't made a sound, but He Zhengxun had already walked over with the tea, placing the cup in front of He Xinyuan, and coldly snorted.

  Seeing the teacup placed in front of him by He Zhengxun, He Xiannian slightly bowed his head and hastily said: "I dare not, thank you, Senior He. Although Li Shidi has made a mistake, he is indeed new to the Secret Hall and doesn't know much, and hasn't committed any serious offense. My intention is that Seniors Ning and He should just lightly punish him, no need to beat him to death with one stick."

  "Alright, spare him since he's asked for mercy. Now that Lord He has spoken up, I won't be unreasonable either. Let's just forget about the secret method of Lichuan River and let this serve as a warning to him." Ning Yuan said calmly.

  "Hmm!"

  He Xiannian, who had just picked up his teacup and taken a sip of tea, spat out the tea in his mouth upon hearing Ningyuan's words, his mouth agape with astonishment.

  "Has the secret method been wasted?" These few words came out of Ningyuan's mouth lightly, but when they stopped at He Zhengyun and Li Chuanhe's mouths, they were no less than a thunderclap.

  In the Jianghu, apart from death, the heaviest punishment is to cripple one's cultivation. Li Chuanhe was already nearly sixty years old and had only just managed to step into the Secret Law Hall with great difficulty. Now, Ning Yu's single sentence would send him back to his original form.

  "Senior Ning, please show mercy." Li Chuanhe hastily knocked his head on the ground several times towards Ning Yuan, where was the original master's demeanor? He looked like a drowning man, constantly wailing for help.

  "Master Li, if I had known today, why bother with the past? I came to Jiang City without any intention of competing with you. Could it be that you think you really have the qualifications to be my opponent in Ningyuan?"

  Ning Yuan let out a cold snort and suddenly stood up, emitting an aura that made people's hearts palpitate, which pressed straight towards Li Chuanhe.

  "Conceal your spiritual awareness!"

  He Xiannian and Wang Yuanfeng let out a cry of surprise, simultaneously inhaling a breath of cool air, their eyes wide with shock as they stared at Ning Yuan, their faces filled with incredulity and unbelief.

  They were polite to Ningyuan, and the main reason was because of Ningyuan's identity. The ones they were wary of were He Zhengxun and the people from Jiuxuanmen, but as for Ningyuan himself, they didn't really care.

  Ning Yuan was only twenty years old. Even if he had a good natural talent, the most he could have achieved would be to enter the secret method. To show off his prowess in Jianghu, he would need at least ten more years of tempering.

  But at this moment, Ning Yuan revealed a body of secret method cultivation, which made He Xiannian and others shocked to the point where their jaws almost dropped to the ground. This...this is impossible.

  Especially Wang Yuanfeng and Zhen Bilon, the two of them were even more like a huge wave in their hearts. Both of them were already over forty years old, but they had only just begun to cultivate their spiritual consciousness, whereas Ning was twenty years younger than them.

  And judging from the aura emanating from Ningyuan at this moment, he has absolutely reached the pinnacle of spiritual introspection, and is only one step away from transcending to spiritual transformation. Such cultivation, placed in today's Jianghu, would be considered a top-notch expert, at least among the younger generation, almost no one can rival Ningyuan.

  Ningyuan's imposing manner was almost directly facing Lichuan River, pressing down on Lichuan River to the point where it could hardly breathe.

  "Conceal your spiritual awareness!"

  Li Chuan River was truly tearless at this time, Ning Yuan was actually a master of the inner restraint realm of spiritual consciousness. If he had known this earlier, how would he have dared to have even half a thought of opposing Ning Yuan?

  Ningyuan's aura was released quickly, and it was also withdrawn quickly, in less than thirty seconds. However, it shocked everyone present, and He Xinyan secretly felt relieved that he had arrived with a humble attitude, or else this would have been a disaster for the Shanling Sect, offending the Jiuxuan Gate.

  At the age of twenty, Ling Zhi's inner world boundary was almost certain that before the age of thirty, Ning Yuan would definitely be able to enter the spiritual transformation and enter the yuan Shen realm in the future, which is not a difficult task.

  Such a freak, as long as no one can strangle him before he grows up, will definitely be a nightmare in the future.

  Ning Yuan sat back on the sofa, looking at He Xiannian with a calm expression: "He Zongmen, my master has passed away. As the new head of Jiuxuan Gate, I don't want to make things too awkward with Shanjian Sect this time. Let's give Shanjian Sect some face and let you take Lei Chuanhe back to deal with him yourself."

  "Thank you, Senior Ning." He Xiannian hastily replied, understanding Ning Yuan's strength. He Xiannian was even more afraid to offend Ning Yuan and carefully said: "This time, Senior Ning has shown great kindness, my Shānliáng Pài will remember it. If in the future Senior Ning needs our help, just let us know."

  "He's being polite."

  Ning Yuan smiled faintly and looked towards the Li River: "Master Li, this time I'll give your sect's leader some face. You got yourself into this mess, now you clean it up yourself. If you do it again, I won't be so easy to talk to."

  "Yes, yes, I will remember, and not dare to do it again." Li Chuanhe nodded and responded with a bow, then wiped the sweat from his forehead and slowly stood up.

  Ning Yuan, sitting on the sofa, simultaneously made a slashing motion with both hands in mid-air, finally forming a hand seal, and pressed it against Lichuan River's chest. Lichuan River spat out a mouthful of black blood, his face even more horrified.

  Ningyuan's move just now was exactly what resolved the entanglement of evil spirits that had been plaguing him. Originally, he thought his entanglement of evil spirits was due to He Zhengxun, but unexpectedly it turned out to be Ningyuan himself.
