Chapter 875 - 357: Teaching Xin Wuya a Lesson

With Chu Ning’s spiritual sense strength, he could feel the disturbance from a hundred miles away.

"Xin Wuya is still at the peak of the Golden Core Late Stage and hasn’t entered the Nascent Soul Stage.

Senior Sister Gu has also reached the Fake Pill Realm. If she has a fortunate encounter, she might indeed form a core.

But I didn’t expect her master, Junior Martial Uncle Zhong, whom I only met once, has already broken through to the Golden Core Stage."

Chu Ning was secretly pondering this in his heart, but the next moment, his gaze flickered slightly.

"Zijin, come up!"

As he spoke, Chu Ning manipulated the Eight Trigrams Flying Wheel to enlarge.

After Cen Zijin stood on it, they immediately flew away towards the front.

...

"Sect Leader, why must you drive us to the brink?"

After Xin Wuya’s words fell, Zhong Ying’s expression changed slightly, and she immediately summoned a fiery red shield, placing it in front of her.

Xin Wuya remained silent, waving his hand to release a white wave-like light, directly attacking.

Though Zhong Ying was also a Golden Core Cultivator, she was only at the Early Stage, unable to match Xin Wuya, a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core Late Stage.

Even with the use of a Magical Treasure, the protective light shield emitted by the fiery red shield collapsed under this strike.

Even the Spirit Charm dimmed a bit.

Both Zhong Ying at the front and Gu Xiaoqing at the back were forced back several meters under this impact.

Seeing this scene, Xin Wuya’s gaze became even more fierce and slowly raised his hand to launch another attack.

But just then, his movements halted involuntarily, and he instinctively looked sideways, a trace of suspicion flashing in his eyes.

Seeing Xin Wuya’s actions, Zhong Ying and Gu Xiaoqing couldn’t help but be slightly startled.

The two exchanged a glance, preparing to fly away then and there.

At that moment, Zhong Ying followed Xin Wuya’s gaze and said to Gu Xiaoqin:

"Someone’s coming. It’s a Golden Core Cultivator."

She paused slightly, her face getting more serious.

"It seems to be two, with higher cultivation than mine."

As Zhong Ying’s words had just fallen, an escape light quickly approached, appearing within the sight of the three people.

Upon seeing the two figures standing on the flying wheel, the three were initially slightly taken aback.

Soon, their eyes opened wide, focusing on Chu Ning’s figure.

"Junior Brother Chu?"

Surprisingly, the first to react was Gu Xiaoqing, whose cultivation was the lowest here.

She widened her eyes, looking at the face that had hardly changed since a century ago, exclaiming in disbelief.

Xin Wuya’s expression changed several times, with a hint of surprise in his words.

"Chu... Chu Ning?"

Chu Ning’s gaze swept over the three, first landing on Gu Xiaoqing.

Although Gu Xiaoqing had undergone some changes, Chu Ning still recognized her at a glance.

After all, the two had much interaction in Yan Workshop, and she had been extremely considerate to him back then.

Chu Ning was undoubtedly very familiar with her.

He immediately smiled slightly at her and said, "Senior Sister Gu, long time no see."

"Are you really Junior Brother Chu?"

Gu Xiaoqing looked at Chu Ning, her eyes still filled with surprise.

"Xiaoqing, don’t be disrespectful."

Zhong Ying promptly reminded.

"Fellow Daoist Chu is now a Golden Core Cultivator."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning smiled slightly and said,

"Junior Martial Uncle Zhong, Senior Sister Gu cared for me a lot back then, so calling her Senior Sister is only proper."

Zhong Ying shook her head and said, "Fellow Daoist Chu is too kind; this old one doesn’t deserve such a title."

Chu Ning didn’t argue over the titles with her and finally turned his gaze to Xin Wuya.

He spoke slowly, "Sect Leader Xin, it has been some time since we last met."

Xin Wuya looked at Chu Ning, his expression already calm but full of smiles.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, it has been nearly a century. I didn’t expect your cultivation to have advanced to the Golden Core Late Stage, truly a cause for celebration."

Chu Ning lightly smiled at these words.

Xin Wuya truly had deep scheming, acting so naturally, but his inner shock likely matched that of Gu Xiaoqin and Zhong Ying.

Indeed, Xin Wuya felt a mix of emotions as he looked at Chu Ning.

Back then, after Chu Ning came out from the Wood Spirit Species Spirit Realm, Xin Wuya considered taking him as a disciple while searching for the Wood Spirit Seed.

However, only his name was noted, and he was not formally accepted as a disciple.

When cultivators from the Yin Demon Sect came to demand Chu Ning and others who had gained Spirit Charm, Chu Ning had fled in advance.

Elder Yang of the Cyan Creek Sect, whose Golden Core was destroyed, used a Secret Technique to pose as Chu Ning and went to the Yin Demon Sect.

Afterwards, Xin Wuya searched the surroundings of the Cyan Creek Sect for Chu Ning but to no avail.

Unexpectedly, nearly a century later, Chu Ning reappeared before him.

And Chu Ning was already a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator like him.

Although not yet at the peak of the Golden Core Late Stage like him, it was enough to shock Xin Wuya.

Seeing Chu Ning only smile without answering, Xin Wuya maintained an unperturbed expression, continuing to smile and say,

"I wonder where Fellow Daoist Chu has been cultivating for all these years. Are you here in the Cyan Gorge Mountain Range to specifically return to the sect?"

"Sect Leader Xin, I merely happen to be passing by."

Chu Ning looked at Xin Wuya, speaking calmly.

"If I remember correctly, these two are fellow Daoists of the Cyan Creek Sect. But I wonder why Sect Leader Xin, as the leader of a sect, would attack these fellow daoists?"

After hearing this, Xin Wuya glanced at Chu Ning.

"This matter is an internal affair of our sect. Fellow Daoist, you left the Cyan Creek Sect many years ago.

This matter doesn’t seem to have much to do with you."

Chu Ning smiled faintly, his gaze shifting to Zhong Ying and Gu Xiaoqing.

"I’m not interested in why you attacked them, but I happened to hear that these two fellow Daoists seem to want to leave, and that’s something I must intervene in."

Saying this, Chu Ning flew off from the Eight Trigrams Flying Wheel.

He flew directly over to Gu Xiaoqing and Zhong Ying.

"Zijin, take Senior Sister Gu and them further away."

As Chu Ning spoke, Zhong Ying immediately took Gu Xiaoqing and retreated by Flying Escape, landing beside Cen Zijin.

Seeing this, Xin Wuya’s face slightly changed, then he snorted coldly and raised his hand, pressing it towards Chu Ning.

A white palm manifested, pressing directly toward Chu Ning.

Seeing this, Chu Ning threw a punch immediately.

A golden fist shadow appeared and met it head-on.

The golden fist shadow collided with the white giant palm, and the white giant palm immediately dissipated.

The golden fist shadow, however, only slightly faded, before crashing down towards Xin Wuya.

In terms of magical power, Chu Ning’s fullness is completely no less than Xin Wuya’s.

Moreover, Chu Ning’s punch was infused with the Qi of Geng Metal, how could Xin Wuya’s spell resist it.

However, Xin Wuya’s face changed nevertheless.

Even though this palm was not exerted with full force, the spell used was a top-level technique of the Cyan Creek Sect.

He didn’t expect that Chu Ning could easily break it.

The power of this punch was even much stronger.

Despite being extremely surprised in his heart, Xin Wuya was not slow to react.

He continuously waved his palms, after two palm strikes, he dispersed the golden fist shadow in the air.

But just at this moment, Chu Ning flicked his ten fingers, and ten water columns shot out.

The speed was so fast that it completely exceeded Xin Wuya’s expectations.

Before he could fully react, ten water columns quickly turned into ten shackles surrounding him.

Immediately, vortexes appeared, trapping him directly within.

Seeing this, Xin Wuya’s face changed drastically, and he spat out a white feather fan.

With successive swings, countless white awns flew from the fan, striking the vortex.

However, these white awns were quickly absorbed into the vortex.

The vortex not only didn’t get smaller, but it grew even larger after absorbing them.

"The Azure Wave Vortex is best suited to deal with cultivators using water and fire element cultivation methods and spells."

Chu Ning smiled faintly at this moment.

Yet, he didn’t rush to take further action, but flew over to Gu Xiaoqing and Zhong Ying’s side.

"Senior Sister Gu, what exactly happened? Why are you leaving the sect, and why does Xin Wuya want to hunt you down?"

Gu Xiaoqing’s gaze was rather complex as she looked at Chu Ning at this moment.

But she did not directly answer Chu Ning’s question, instead sighed with emotion:

"Master Chu... Chu Ning, after so many years apart, you haven’t changed a bit.

Or perhaps, you have. You are already a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator."

Saying this, Gu Xiaoqing sighed lightly.

"As for me and our Cyan Creek Sect, things have long changed.

The current Cyan Creek Sect is no longer the Cyan Creek Sect of the past. The Sect Leader, he..."

Gu Xiaoqing stopped here, hesitation showing on her face.

Seeing Gu Xiaoqing’s expression, Chu Ning knew this might involve some unspoken hardships.

So, he didn’t rush to ask further questions.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Chu Ning sensed strong magical power fluctuations emanating from within the Azure Wave Vortex.

"Quite a bit of skill." Chu Ning murmured softly to himself.

Immediately flicking his ten fingers, another ten water columns sprang forth, reinforcing the Azure Wave Vortex.

Just as Chu Ning was about to continue asking Gu Xiaoqing, his eyebrows slightly twitched once more.

His gaze focused on the Azure Wave Vortex, slowly turning cold.

He then opened his mouth and spat out a Five Elements Flying Sword.

Simultaneously, the Azure Wave Vortex suddenly burst open, transforming into droplets of water that disappeared when they hit the ground.

What emerged from it was a silhouette emitting a faint blood mist.

"Blood Evil Pill?"

Seeing this scene, Chu Ning’s face showed a tinge of surprise.

"No, it seems more like a demonic secret technique."

Chu Ning muttered to himself, but his actions were quick; the Five Elements Spirit Sword slashed down directly.

Just freed, Xin Wuya felt the power on the Five Elements Spirit Sword, and his face changed drastically at this moment.

Originally, he thought that the Azure Wave Vortex was already Chu Ning’s strongest tactic.

But didn’t expect, the power on this giant sword is even stronger.

Gritting his teeth, the feather fan in Xin Wuya’s hand swung immediately.

A beam of light mixed with black, red, and white flew out from the feather fan.

The black and red light seemed to merely adhere to that white light, appearing rather incongruous.

"Yin Demon Slash?"

Seeing this, Chu Ning frowned slightly and, with a pinch of his hand technique, the Five Elements Spirit Sword struck down swiftly, slicing into the tri-colored light!
