Chapter 1058: Leaving hand in hand, heavenly thunder moves, wind and rain gather in Chang'an from all directions

Ning Yuan opened his mouth wide and said blankly: "Aunt, it's one thing to slash the Yang family, but why did you slash the Zangshan Laozu too?"

The Yang family disciples beside him didn't dare to look at Ning Ning Qingchen, but glared at him angrily. What do you mean "it's one thing"?

Ning Ning Qingchen smiled: "Just a casual act!"

Ning Yuan shrank his head, his admiration for his aunt growing, mixed with a trace of fear.

Ning Guiyao was speechless, but the man who looked somewhat like Ning Ning Qingchen suddenly laughed and said: "It's fine, just apologize to the Zangshan Laozu, and this matter will pass!"

He paused for a moment, seemingly digesting this "pass," then said: "Now that you have attained the First Grade Jin Dan, you are a Primordial Spirit seed."

"The Ning family will naturally speak to the Yang family. Although the Zangshan Laozu was slashed by you, he should understand now that in the future, the Ning family will have to rely on you to hold it up. In the future, your status will be no less than that of Wang Longxiang or Cao Cao Xuanwei."

"As long as... you stay in the Ning family..."

Ning Guiyao frowned. What do you mean "stay in the Ning family"? She was already a member of the Ning family.

This sounded like he was forcing someone to leave!

Ning Ning Qingchen looked at the man. Qian Yan Shixiong Chen's eyes were begging for her affirmation, shining, and he even looked at Ning's father with a glow.

I told you!

Slash him once, and the Zangshan Laozu will digest it himself.

Ning Ning Qingchen, however, perceived from the threads of affection winding over that same cold hardness, not only toward her in the past but even toward the Zangshan Laozu and the other Ning family members.

There was no warmth, only a smell of rust!

But at this moment, in his heart, there was a faint, almost non-existent blessing.

"Let's go!"

"Fly higher! Fly to the Nine Heavens and prove to the countless realms of the cosmos that you are the daughter of Ning Zhengxuan!"

The threads of affection winding over were severed by more than half with that slash just now.

The remaining ones, which Ning Ning Qingchen didn't want to sever, were from her childhood memories here, which were always cold, but even in the gloomiest sky, there had been a ray of warm sun.

Even the most chaotic human hearts never lacked a background of kindness.

Ning Ning Qingchen perceived the lingering warmth of the past, and those rare threads of affection that seemed to extend from the past, carrying a bit of warmth from her memories, were also gradually becoming unfamiliar.

This unfamiliarity and fading began the moment Ning Ning Qingchen returned to the Ning family.

It wasn't until that slash just now that they kept breaking!

Ning Ning Qingchen saw the eyes of many people looking at her, unfamiliar and filled with awe.

She saw an aunt whom she had seen marry in when she was young.

When she was in her red wedding dress, she saw the little girl standing alone in the courtyard, listening to the discussion of the maids: "Having lost her mother at a young age, I'm afraid she carries a curse in her fate and is an unlucky person. Today is the young lady's big day, so avoid her..."

"Nanny, don't say that!"

She smiled and took off a piece of jewelry she was wearing, quietly stuffing it to her: "This is from Aunt; keep it for your dowry in the future!"

"Come, Second Uncle brought you some fruit!"

"Eat more, you're too thin!"

"Ning Qingchen is so cute. If she grows up, she'll be a gentle and lovely young lady like her mother!"

These warmths, thread by thread, lit up her childhood.

Even the lingering warmth of her father's palm remained in her memory, becoming a streak of warm color.

But the past cannot be held!

"The hearts of the past are easily changed..."

Ning Ning Qingchen perceived that the things she cherished, and even the parts of herself she subconsciously hid to try to retain, were breaking one by one, turning into more unfamiliar threads of affection winding around her.

She could only close her eyes and murmur softly: "It is said that the hearts of the past are easily changed!"

The hardest thing to retain is the past.

Ning Ning Qingchen opened her eyes and looked back at Qian Yan Shixiong Chen. The blade light carrying those fragile threads of affection became a few points sharper.

She reached out her hand: "Yan Yan Shixiong! Take me away!"

Qian Yan Shixiong Chen suddenly froze, looking up at her.

A parting at the Gui Xu ruins years ago.

"Yan Yan Shixiong, I'm going home too! My home is in Chang'an, a small clan of the Ning family, with an ancestor who has attained the Yin Spirit fruit at most. If Qian Yan Shixiong Yan Yan Shixiong doesn't mind, you can come to my home for a visit, of course, don't start a massacre!"

A beautiful smile...

So, returning home, waiting, stopping—everything was for this moment!

He took Ning Ning Ning Shimei's hand and smiled: "Yan Yan Shixiong Yan has his Shaoqing, and Ning Ning Shimei Si has her Southern Jin and Tao Zhang Tian Shi. Ning Ning Shimei, besides you, who else can Yan Yan Shixiong wait for? The Zhongnan Supreme Louguan, the cause of this world, should walk the Great Dao with you!"

The sound of horse hooves hurried outside the hall. Yang Wenxiu turned off his horse, holding a Jade Bell, and rushed into the hall.

But he saw the hall was silent, the Ning family ancestor in the seat of honor had vanished, and his clan uncle stood stiffly there, a layer of thin frost appearing on his body.

What happened?

Yang Wenxiu looked around blankly, only to see Ning Yuan signaling him desperately. Turning his head, he saw Qian Yan Shixiong Chen had already arrived in front of him, looking down at the Jade Bell...

"The quality is average, just an ordinary magic treasure. If it were in the Samsara Realm, Yan Yan Shixiong could easily hammer out a Great Sun Golden Bell to liven things up!"

Qian Yan Shixiong Chen laughed casually.

Great Sun Golden Bell?

Yang Wenxiu was confused—is it the Great Sun Golden Bell I'm thinking of? Is it the Great Sun Golden Bell of the Eastern Emperor, the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons in the legends?

Qian Yan Shixiong Chen casually sacrificed the Jade Bell.

The jade-like bell body floated in his palm. Hundreds of golden inscriptions, carved with various talismans for calming the heart, driving away evil, purifying turbidity, gathering spirits, and praying for blessings, appeared on the emerald-green bell body, calibrated to the correct rhythm above the Great Lu, carrying the legacy sound of the Immortal Han when the bell was cast.

As Qian Yan Shixiong Chen flicked his finger, it rang.

Yang Wenxiu looked up in horror. The blade mark slashed into the depths of Yang Ju's pupils also melted a bit, and he saw the Jade Bell, which he could only sacrifice with all his might and couldn't ring a few times even with his cultivation, ring out with a sound that shook the Shenzhou and even swept toward the Four Seas and Eight Desolations!

"Dong!"

"Dong!"

The bell sounds echoed between heaven and earth, calming the lake of hearts of the Ning and Yang family disciples who were still in shock in the hall.

The Ning family ancestor, curled up under the evergreen tree of his natal spirit root, finally melted a trace of the fierce, cold blade Qi that felt like the extinction of the nether world, protecting the warmth in his heart.

The bell sounds echoed between heaven and earth...

A full thirty-six rings.

In the West Palace of Chang'an, an old woman tilted her head to listen, a faint, almost non-existent smile appearing on her lips: "The Yang family's Jade Bell? Which Yang family disciple attained the First Grade Jin Dan and announced it to the world?"

In the bustling De-Cui Pavilion in the ward, the children of the Five Mausoleums crowded the windows, looking toward the direction of the bell sounds.

"Someone attained the First Grade Jin Dan again! Could it be that the new generation of the Shenzhou's Twenty-Eight Characters is about to emerge?"

"Wang Longxiang has already attained the Yang Spirit, and Crown Prince Cao Xuanwei has resisted the demon army in the Liuzhen! The previous generation of the Shenzhou's Twenty-Eight Characters was so brilliant; the next generation's evaluation cannot let Southern Jin take the lead again!"

"This generation's first Supreme Grade Jin Dan is from Guanzhong!"

Someone pointed in that direction and shouted.

"Oh!"

The pavilion was in an uproar.

In the city of Jiankang, the young girl leading the white deer, walking on Zijin Mountain, suddenly looked up, her carefree eyes already stained with a trace of sorrow.

She looked toward the north, listening to the bell sounds, and secretly wished: "Qian Yan Shixiong Yan Yan Shixiong, Ning Ning Ning Shimei... you must be safe in the north!"

In the Ning family fortress, everyone looked at the man who had easily rung the Jade Bell thirty-six times, with various magic restrictions for calming the heart, driving away evil, purifying turbidity, gathering spirits, and praying for blessings echoing in the bell sounds, making heaven and earth clear.

Yang Ju revealed a bitter smile. The Ning family girl's slash, attaining the First Grade Jin Dan, had made his years of cultivation feel like they were fed to dogs.

But the man beside her was even more—

Also, if he weren't a rare talent, how could he be... by the Guanghan Feng Xianzi...

He raised his hand with difficulty and said to Qian Yan Shixiong Chen: "Since you are taking people away, we naturally cannot stop you, but may I ask your name?"

"Qian Yan Shixiong Chen!"

Ning Yuan wanted to help him speak, but Qian Yan Shixiong Chen tilted his head and thought: "Use a name you all know..."

"Li Er of the Longxi Li clan!"

Li Er!

Another First Grade Jin Dan, an existence that shook the world but wasn't recorded in the previous generation's Shenzhou Twenty-Eight Characters.

Sword-subduing Dragon and Elephant, shaking Jiankang!

"Li Er!"

Ning Guiyao recalled—authentic Daoist disciple, returned after training overseas, about to choose a blessed land near Chang'an to establish a sect!

So your authentic Daoist disciple is the Supreme Louguan Dao, right?

Returned after training overseas—you didn't mention a word about being from the same first-class clan, the Longxi Li clan!

About to choose a blessed land near Chang'an—Mount Zhongnan is indeed very close to Chang'an, but Qin Shi Huang could also say: "I want to choose a blessed land near Chang'an to place my coffin!"

Establish a sect!

His mind suddenly cleared. The Supreme Louguan Dao is about to be reopened!

His own sister is about to be pulled into the Supreme Louguan Dao!

On Mount Zhongnan near Chang'an, where the Daoist cave heaven is located, the Supreme Louguan Dao, one of the Supreme True Transmissions that was wiped out decades ago, is about to be rebuilt!

Ning Ning Qingchen also withdrew the Taiyin Ancient Shendao and smiled: "Zhongnan Supreme Louguan, Ning Ning Qingchen, greetings to all!"

"Walking the aristocratic family, everyone can call me Li Er." Qian Yan Shixiong Chen also responded with a smile: "But in the Daoist sect, I am the head of the Supreme Louguan Dao, Qian Yan Shixiong Chen!"

Yang Ju suddenly shivered and blurted out: "No!"

Ning Ning Qingchen had already stepped out of the hall, but when she turned back, she saw Yang Ju unable to speak, as if suffering the torture of a thousand cuts.

He shook his head at Qian Yan Shixiong Chen, his eyes full of terror.

"Li Er, you cannot be with her..."

"Ning Qingchen, retreat to overseas! The Great Tribulation of the Central Lands is coming; it cannot withstand your tossing!"

Ning Ning Qingchen's beautiful eyebrows furrowed. She didn't want to hear about "Eternal Affection Tribulation" or "Guanghan Feng Xianzi" ever again!

Everyone is just a woman who practices the Taiyin Severing Affection Blade Scripture and is sincere and true; why should they suffer such slander?

Yang Ju's words were sincere, almost begging: "Li Er, your identity is special, holding the dual identities of Supreme Louguan head and aristocratic family descendant!"

"If it were an ordinary woman, I would definitely ask the family head to personally go to Zhongnan to congratulate you, but the Eternal Affection Tribulation is not like others. The heavier the identity, the more complex the karma, and the heavier the legacy."

"The demonic tribulation is coming again. If you use the Eternal Affection Tribulation to fan the flames, what sin have the living beings committed?"

Qian Yan Shixiong Chen frowned tightly.

He and Ning Ning Shimei Ning are innocent! To revitalize Supreme Louguan, he brought such a brilliant female cultivator to the successive ancestors of Supreme Louguan.

It was a public heart!

Why should he suffer such slander?

"Don't believe in fate! Confucius told us, the Master did not speak of strange phenomena, force, disorder, and spirits..."

Qian Yan Shixiong Chen threw down this sentence and turned to leave with Ning Ning Qingchen.

The Green-Eyed Jade Dragon and the Water-Essence Bai Lu walked side by side toward Chang'an, the sound of hooves clattering away.

Only Yang Ju was left, full of fear, his face ashen.

"Guanghan Feng Xianzi... it's actually the Guanghan Feng Xianzi!"

"That's right! Ning Ning Qingchen went to the Gui Xu burial ground and obtained an opportunity there, and Li Er, no... Qian Yan Shixiong Chen and Li Er are the same person, so he is not... a Primordial Spirit Venerable! He hid so deeply!"

"He also went to the Gui Xu, and that Pill God of the Shaoqing Sword Sect..."

"I didn't expect these most brilliant contemporary geniuses of the Earth Immortal Realm to have such deep friendships?"

"The Guanghan Feng Xianzi has already entered the Yang Spirit; her slash just now probably showed mercy!"

"But... a Guanghan Feng Xianzi who has been brilliant throughout the ages met the future head of the Supreme Louguan Dao, Li Er, who is already a Yin Spirit True Immortal and suspected to be a reincarnation of a great power."

"The Eternal Affection Tribulation since the near-ancient times has never been so strange!"

"The Li family has gained a Yin Spirit True Immortal, and established the Dao in Zhongnan. The influence of the Daoist sect and the Li family on Chang'an will inevitably skyrocket!"

"The struggle between Daoism and Buddhism..."

"The schemes of the Li clan..."

"The Eternal Affection Tribulation..."

"And the Guanghan Palace overseas will surely arrive upon hearing the news. They also have a good friend, the Shaoqing true transmission, Yan Shu, who refined the immortal medicine. With these kinds of tribulations... how can Chang'an be at peace?"

"The wind and clouds are changing!"

Thinking of Li Er's younger brother, Li Zhong, who came with Crown Prince Cao Xuanwei.

Even Yang Ju felt confused, Chang'an is about to become a boiling cauldron, and I don't know how many people will have to endure the boiling.

The Guanghan Feng Xianzi's fame overseas, the true identity of Li Er of the Longxi Li clan, and even the things he did under the pseudonym Qian Yan Shixiong Chen, even if they had spread to the Central Lands, only circulated among a very few people.

The disciples of the Ning and Yang families were still stuck on the old version of Ning Ning Qingchen attaining the First Grade Jin Dan and Li Er shaking Jiankang.

At this time, they were already excitedly whispering and discussing.

"No wonder Aunt is riding a white deer..." Ning Yuan danced with joy, gesturing: "That Li Er also has a white deer. He rode that white deer all the way along the Great River into Jiankang. It's like a pair of white deer!"

"It is said that Princess Princess Qingcheng of Southern Jin also has a few white deer... is that so?"

"Aunt couldn't have returned from the Gui Xu if she weren't a famous person."

"Did you see that slash just now? It must be the prototype of a Great Divine Ability, I just don't know which one it is."

"I saw my uncle's eyebrows covered in ice; it should be an ice spell divine ability, perhaps Ice Soul Cold Light!" A Yang family disciple also joined in, excitedly, without any prejudice. Didn't you see that the Ning family ancestor was also slashed?

It shows that Ning Ning Qingchen is fair in handling affairs!

One slash for each person, not venting anger because of slander, nor favoring because of closeness, too fair!

Someone also mentioned the Supreme Louguan Dao.

"Since the Supreme Louguan Dao was inexplicably wiped out and Li Er was taken away, decades have passed! This Daoist true transmission, the Supreme Gate, has finally reached the time of revival! This time Li Er enters Chang'an, it will inevitably stir up wind and clouds, and Supreme Louguan will surely open its gates and recruit disciples again."

"Look, Ning Aunt was invited to reopen Supreme Louguan together! If Li Er Uncle knows more people like this, he won't need help from others!"

The disciples of the Yang and Ning families nodded one after another, thinking.

Ning Yuan had already made up his mind to secretly ride his wind-treading horse to Chang'an tomorrow to join his aunt and uncle!

…………

On a chaotic stone mountain, the Yang Spirit True Person of the Residual Demon Sect covered his mouth and coughed violently.

He opened his hand and saw bloodstains!

He turned his head and shouted sternly: "Ji Zhen, you claim to be the number one sword master among the new demon sect talents, not inferior to Wang Longxiang, inheriting the sword technique of Nie Zheng, the head of the assassins of the past!"

"Why couldn't you even stop a small Li Zhong?"

Ji Zhen held his formless sword and sneered: "That Green Dragon slash of his, which one of you blocked it?"

"And you, you couldn't even beat the white deer he was riding. I had to deal with Li Zhong and the white deer attacking together; how could I drag it out for too long? You four couldn't take one, and even had a Residual Demon Sect Yin Spirit killed. I dealt with two, and held on until the end, only for you to retreat first..."

"You!" The Yang Spirit of the Residual Demon Sect was anxious.

"My Dragon-Slaying Kill was specifically aimed at Cao Cao Xuanwei."

"A white deer suddenly popped out, and it was using your Nine Heavens Dao's Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Ancient Shendao. I was caught off guard and was injured... And your Nine Heavens Dao, whether you really wanted to kill Cao Cao Xuanwei, is hard to say!"

Ji Zhen sneered: "My Nine Heavens Dao's Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Ancient Shendao has never been stingy about being passed on. It's not just to demon sect comrades; even if the righteous path refines it better than us, it's natural!"

"Anyway, the blade technique connects the Heavenly Demon to the spirit, and sooner or later, one will enter the demon path..."

The Yang Spirit of the Residual Demon Sect had a venomous look in his eyes and was about to speak again, but was stopped by a shout!

"Enough, don't say any more!"

Yin Zhoujue said slowly: "Looking at it now, we still underestimated Li Zhong. This person is not necessarily easier to deal with than Cao Cao Xuanwei. That Green Dragon slash has a very high intent, slashing toward fate, and that white deer is also extremely difficult to deal with."

"This assassination failed, but the most important thing is, why didn't the Zhu Wuchang Sect come?"

He looked at the few people: "Where is that person from the Zhu Wuchang Sect?"

"With his Forget-Affection Water and Forget-River Nether Spring, no matter what, we wouldn't have missed..."

Ji Zhen's expression was a bit strange: "He ran into the Guanghan Feng Xianzi on the way and was so scared that he fled immediately. He might have already left Guanzhong!"

"Damn!" Yin Zhoujue cursed: "The trash of the Zhu Wuchang Sect, scared like this by a woman!"

Han Xian Guo'er of the Southern Five Poisons Sect covered her face with a green veil, but narrowed her eyes at the words: "Why, look down on women?"

"The fundamental magic of the Zhu Wuchang Sect is restrained to death by the Guanghan Palace's Taiyin Severing Affection Blade. No matter how they reincarnate, they can't escape that blade. Others are fine! The contemporary Guanghan Feng Xianzi is indeed..."

"After all, the Zhu Wuchang Sect was almost wiped out by the Guanghan Feng Xianzi!"

"And what makes me most curious is, where did the Guanghan Feng Xianzi pop out from, and will it hinder our sect's grand plan?"

"You know, she is not a level of existence like Cao Cao Xuanwei."

"Today, if we had met the Guanghan Feng Xianzi, under the Taiyin Ancient Shendao, it would be a great fortune if one of us could survive!"

Ji Zhen touched his nose: "The contemporary Guanghan Feng Xianzi, as far as I know, should come from a small aristocratic family in Huayin, and was cultivated by the Daoist sect... As far as I know, she is currently by someone's side. If we met them, we wouldn't even need to run; just wait for death!"

"Oh? Who is so arrogant? Entering the game, why don't the Primordial Spirit Heavenly Demons..."

"The new head of the Supreme Louguan Dao, the Qian Yan Shixiong Chen, Qian Yan Shixiong Daoist, who has been shot at by the Gui Xu, and whom we demon sect people are very familiar with!"

The surroundings fell into a deathly silence.

"The Nine Heavens Dao shouldn't make a move. This person possesses one of the Three Treasures of the Supreme, I'm afraid even the Earth Immortal Realm doesn't have many opponents!"

"The Heavenly Eye Sect has been killed by him many times. The Heavenly Eye Sect Master knows and is very afraid, saying he is a taboo existence from the Nine Heavens!"

"The White Bone Demon City hasn't faced him, but it is said that the Blood Sea Dao suffered a big loss in the Gui Xu, and a Yin Spirit Heavenly Demon of the Nine Heavens Dao was severely punished..."
