Chapter 841 - 343: Spirit Turtle Takes Action, Inventory of Treasures

"Who are you?"

An old man in white stood in front of Chu Ning, staring at him.

Compared to Lu Xuedao’s dominance, this person gave Chu Ning an overwhelmingly cold impression.

The gaze directed at Chu Ning was like two icy daggers.

Chu Ning’s mind raced.

This person didn’t know his identity, which unexpectedly provided him with a chance to maneuver.

"Junior Chu Ning from Divine Sound Valley greets Elder Fan."

As Chu Ning cupped his hands towards Fan Zexian, he used telepathy to communicate with the Spirit Beast Bag.

"Elder Turtle, allow me to stall for a bit; should this person attack later, I ask for your assistance."

"Alright." The deep voice of Elder Turtle echoed.

Just as Chu Ning was feeling pleased, the turtle quickly continued:

"However, my strand of Essence Soul and Primordial Spirit is more difficult to merge than expected. If I confront this Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator, I could probably only make one move.

Retreating him is possible, but to kill him while I’m merging the Essence Soul, I cannot accomplish.

Therefore, avoid confrontation if possible."

"I understand, I’ll try to negotiate." Chu Ning quickly replied via telepathy.

"You’re a cultivator from Divine Sound Valley? Why are you with this Qiu Qijun?"

Upon hearing that Chu Ning was from Divine Sound Valley, Fan Zexian’s expression slightly softened.

It seemed Divine Sound Valley maintained a good rapport with Changkong Hall.

Hearing Fan Zexian’s question, Chu Ning’s face showed a bitter expression.

"This person battled someone unknown in Snow Mist Valley and lost his physical body.

As his Nascent Soul fled through the valley, it happened upon me, forcing me to lead him through the spatial passage.

He claimed his Nascent Soul dared not enter the spatial passage directly.

My meager strength could only succumb to his coercion."

Fan Zexian nodded slightly after listening, then asked:

"Do any other cultivators know you went to this passage? How are things with the treasures in Void Abyss?"

Fan Zexian had never entered Void Abyss, so Chu Ning wasn’t surprised by the question and replied accordingly:

"No one else knows. Inside the Void Hall’s Inner Hall, the treasure hunt was fiercely competitive..."

Chu Ning briefly described the treasure contention in the Inner Hall and mentioned the explosion of the Divine Platform.

Of course, he wouldn’t elaborate further.

He said he also entered a passage, but due to insufficient cultivation, was left behind.

After Fan Zexian finished listening, his cold expression didn’t change in the slightest; he coldly remarked:

"It seems you know quite a bit, definitely not an ordinary Golden Core Cultivator."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning’s expression drastically changed.

"Did the Golden Core Cultivators from Changkong Hall and Divine Sound Valley who exited earlier convey the news?"

At this moment, Chu Ning suddenly realized he might have been too presumptive in his actions.

He immediately performed Phantom Escape, suddenly flying backward rapidly.

Fan Zexian, however, didn’t rush to attack Chu Ning but watched him with increased coldness in his eyes.

"Escape? No matter your skills, you’re still just a Golden Core Cultivator!"

The emotionless voice came from Fan Zexian, and in the next moment, he turned into a white shadow, drifting towards Chu Ning.

Clearly, he seemed to move effortlessly, yet in a blink, he was just five zhang (approximately 16.5 meters) in front of Chu Ning.

Simultaneously, he extended a hand, transforming into an icy blue radiant hand, reaching for Chu Ning.

At the emergence of this enormous hand, Chu Ning suddenly felt an all-pervasive chill, as if the Spiritual Qi around him froze entirely.

And the Magical Power he could usually circulate freely in Snow Mist Valley seemed almost stagnant at the moment.

"This is the power of a Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator!"

Feeling helpless against even a casual strike from Fan Zexian, Chu Ning was deeply shocked.

"Elder Turtle!"

Chu Ning quickly sent telepathic cries towards the Spirit Beast Bag at his waist.

As soon as Chu Ning finished speaking, a burst of white light shot out from the Spirit Beast Bag at his waist, meeting the blue radiant hand.

Upon contact, the blue radiant hand immediately shattered into countless blue sparkles.

Meanwhile, the white light, after dispersing the blue radiance, quickly coalesced into a white water arrow, shooting towards Fan Zexian.

This situation undoubtedly caught Fan Zexian by surprise.

With a look of astonishment and doubt, he waved his hand, emitting an icy blue cold ray to meet the airborne water arrow.

The two collided, immediately dissolving each other.

Only then did Fan Zexian’s expression change, exclaiming:

"Cangxuan Spirit Turtle! How can the Cangxuan Spirit Turtle from Void Abyss be on you?"

"Glad you recognize this old turtle!" The slow voice of the giant turtle resounded in the air.

Upon hearing this, the Hall Master of Changkong Hall looked at Chu Ning in shock.

Simultaneously, there was a hint of suspicion.

Clearly, the fact that the Cangxuan Spirit Turtle would be with a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator like Chu Ning was astonishing.

"Your surname is Fan? Three hundred years ago, you ran with some Lu-surnamed figure to Divine Spring Pool scheming against the old turtle.

Three hundred years have passed, and you’ve made some progress, surprisingly.

Why haven’t you left yet, waiting for the old turtle to come out and have a scrap with you?"

Fan Zexian glanced at the Spirit Beast Bag at Chu Ning’s waist, his gaze flickering immediately.

"The Cangxuan Spirit Turtle left Divine Spring Pool, no wonder Senior Brother Lu and the others found nothing upon going there.

However, how could such a Celestial and Earthly Spirit Beast be with a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator like you, and even come out of Void Abyss with you?
