Chapter 62: Thank you, Ning Senior
"Who?"
"Who?"
Fang Donglai and Qian Senming looked towards the direction of the hole in the air at the same time, one after the other, coldly interrogating.
Ouyang Sha's face looked unnatural as she gazed at Ning Yuan, and she smiled awkwardly, this time knowing that she had caused trouble. The two secret method masters were fighting, and they watched the commotion from the side, seemingly not a good thing.
Ning Yuan smiled faintly and glanced at Ouyang Sha, indicating that she should hide inside the cave entrance. At the same time, he took off the jade pendant from his neck and handed it to her, hinting that she should put it on. Only then did he walk to the edge of the cave entrance, looking down and laughing: "Director Fang, we meet again?"
Qian Senming saw that it was a young man in his early twenties, and he also greeted Fang Donglai. Subconsciously thinking that Ning Yuan was invited by Fang Donglai as an assistant, he couldn't help but sneer: "Fang Donglai, you really are overestimating yourself, bringing Qianyun Chi from the Three Unions is already a stretch, and now you've even brought a junior, do you think that with one more person helping, you can take me down?"
Fang Donglai, however, did not notice Qing Senming's mocking gaze. After taking a closer look and realizing it was Ning Yuan, he hastily cupped his fists in respect and said: "So it's Senior Ning, junior pays respects."
Qian Senming didn't know about Ning Yuan's cultivation, but Fang Donglai was very clear that Ning Yuan was a master of the secret method of Ling Zhi Nei Xun Jing Jie, and also the head of the Jiuxuan Gate, as well as the legitimate disciple of Qingping Daoist. As Qingping Daoist, how could he not pass on to Ning Yuan several powerful artifacts?
Ningyuan's cultivation is not weak, and he has a powerful magical artifact. If it were in peacetime, Fang Donglai wouldn't have taken him too seriously. But now that he and Qiansen Ming are engaged in a magic duel, Ningyuan suddenly appearing would be a different story altogether. If he were to help himself, then Qiansen Ming shouldn't be a match for him. But if he were to help Qiansen Ming...then Fang Donglai would have no choice but to admit defeat.
"Senior?" Qian Senming looked at Fang Donglai with surprise, pointing to Ning Yuan above: "Fang, you're really unscrupulous in trying to capture me, aren't you? You actually condescend to call a young whippersnapper like him 'senior', do you think I'll be intimidated by this?"
"Hmph!" Fang Donglai coldly snorted, "Qian Senming, don't blame me for not warning you. This is the junior fellow disciple of Qingping Daoist, Ning Yuan, the current leader of the Jiuxuan Gate, Ning Yuan. With Elder Ning here, a despicable creature like you from the Mystic Gate will surely have nowhere to hide."
"Hello, fellow Taoist!"
"Jiuxuan Gate!"
Qian Senming had already eaten, his pupils shrinking in his eyes, subconsciously retreating two steps, somewhat disbelieving.
Although Ning was young and had just turned twenty, the reputation of the Jiu Xuan Men and Qing Ping Dao people was really too loud.
It is said that even a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate, let alone a disciple of Qingping Daoist, even a servant of Qingping Daoist would make people in the Xuanmen be cautious upon hearing his words.
When Qian Senming was stunned, Ning Yuan had already climbed down along the stone wall and arrived at the bottom of the cave. He smiled faintly and nodded towards Fang Dong, then looked at Qian Senming: "I once heard my master say that in the Jianghu, the Xingfa Sect liked to raise poisonous insects and snakes. During the war, because they served as traitors for the Japanese, the Xingfa Sect was exterminated by various sects of the Jianghu. I didn't expect that there would still be a successor in this world today."
"Senior said so." Fang Donglai hastily echoed: "This Qian Senming is indeed a member of the Shape and Law School, who does not choose means to achieve his goals, often harming innocent people. This time, I hope Senior and Junior will work together to eliminate this evil from the Jianghu."
"Hmph!" Ning Yuan sneered and said, "Director Fang, don't think I'm unaware that Qian Senming has a vendetta against you for killing his son. Are you trying to get me to be your hitman?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare." Fang Donglai hastily accompanied with a smile: "Qian Senming and I indeed have a vendetta of killing each other's son, but I truly didn't mean to take advantage of Senior."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Qiansen's face turned iron-green. He had neglected Ningyuan's background, and coldly stared at him, saying: "Young man, I don't care what your background is. Today's matter has nothing to do with you. If you know what's good for you, leave early and avoid losing your life."
"Really?"
Ning Yuan flipped his eyelids and looked at Qian Sen Ming, saying: "The past of the Xingfa Sect has already become history. I originally could have let it go, but now you're stirring up the earth veins in Lianyun Mountain and letting the giant snake pollute the water source. How can this be explained?"
"Hah!" Qian Senming couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh, saying: "Youngster, Fang Donglai called out to you as 'senior', and you really think you're a senior, planning on taking the place of heaven or what? Since you don't plan on leaving, then stay here with Fang Donglai."
As he spoke, Kiyoshi's right hand drew a line in the air, and the dagger in his left hand was about to strike.
Fang Donglai knew the ferocity of Qian Senming, and with a wave of his sleeve, he said to Ning Yuan, "Be careful, senior."
"Hmph!" Ning Yuan coldly snorted, reached into his body and pulled out the Blood Qilin, throwing it at Gan Senming.
Suddenly a dark wind howled, and a head of illusory Blood Qilin roared towards Qing Senming, its feet treading on rolling waves of blood.
Fang Dong came to see Ning Yuan take action, his face lit up with joy, secretly sighing that Ning Yuan was indeed worthy of being the successor of the Jiuxuan Gate, and this move was absolutely the strongest attack in the Lingzhi Neiyin realm.
Fang Dong sighed inwardly, but he didn't know that Ningyuan had held back in front of him. Otherwise, with a full-force strike, the Blood Qilin would have been even more condensed and could have unleashed its spiritual transformation power. It was precisely this move that scared his son away.
Qian Sen's eyes widened as he saw Ning Yuan's attack, his face suddenly changing. He had originally thought that Ning Yuan was at most just barely entering the spiritual awareness stage, but he hadn't expected the attack to be so sharp.
Fang Donglai was no fool, and with a simultaneous swing of the Qianyun ruler in his hand, a nearly solid dark energy blade also swept past at the same time.
Fang Donglai has a thousand moves at his disposal, and the gap between him and Gan Senming was never very large to begin with. Now that Ning Yuan is added to the mix, Gan Senming can be said to be in a precarious situation, for the time being he can only defend himself and has no power to counterattack.
Several times, Qian Senming tried to urge the giant python to attack Ningyuan, but was blocked by Fang Donglai, who had been prepared. The realgar powder prepared by Fang Donglai was indeed processed, and the giant python was very wary of his powder and did not dare to approach.
"It was not I who killed your son, Mr. Fang."
The three of them fought for ten minutes, and Qian Senming had already taken two moves, he was almost unable to hold on, anxiously shouting loudly.
"Hum, you think I'm a fool? Trying to quibble at this late hour?"
Fang Donglai sneered, and with a wave of his hand, the Thousand Cloud Ruler rose into the air. With another stroke of his hand, he struck downwards, and Qian Senming felt as if a giant ruler was smashing down on him, blocking out the sun and sky.
Ningyuan didn't slow down either. The Blood Qilin let out a loud roar and charged towards Qiansen Ming with a fierce howl.
"Pffft!"
Qian Senming dodged the giant ruler coming from Fang Dong, but was knocked flying by the Blood Qilin that came head-on, spitting out a mouthful of crimson blood, and lay pale-faced on the ground.
"Cough, cough, Mr. Fang, you..."
Qian Senming struggled to sit up, pointing east, wanting to say something. Fang Donglai casually struck him with a ruler, knocking the wind out of him. Then he slowly walked in front of Qian Senming, drew his sword, and concentrated his energy. In an instant, Qian Senming's body, including his clothes, turned to ashes and disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only a dagger and a strange jade flute.
After doing all this, Fang Donglai collapsed to the ground with a thud, his face covered in tears, muttering: "Tian'er, Dad has avenged you."
Looking at Fang Donglai's appearance, Ning Yuan also felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart. However, thinking of Fang Shoutian's actions, he didn't regret it at all. He walked up to Fang Donglai and comforted him, saying: "Director Fang, when a person dies, the lamp goes out; we should mourn with dignity and change our ways."
Fang Donglai, after all, was not an ordinary person. Upon hearing this, he wiped away his tears and struggled to get up, bowing to Ning Yuan: "Ning senior, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, today I wouldn't have been able to avenge Tian Er, and I might have even fallen here myself."
"Director Fang, no need to be so polite, we're all from the same school." Ning Yuan walked over and held onto Fang Donglai's arm. At this moment, he actually had some genuine appreciation for the middle-aged man in front of him. Although Fang Shoutian was a despicable person, Fang Donglai was indeed a good person, at least a good father.
Fang Donglai was helped up by Ning Yuan, and then he bent down to pick up the dagger and jade flute left on the ground by Qian Senming. He walked over and handed them to Ning Yuan, saying: "Ning senior, this is what Qian Senming left behind. You can keep it as a reward for your help."
Ning Yuan didn't decline or push it away, stretched out his hand to take it and put it away properly, then looked towards the giant python still hovering on one side.
