Discovered, Killed with a Casual Hand

In the Southernmost Region.

The world was filled with surging, vibrant energy.

This place is a paradise for Fire Element cultivators.

Occasionally, one can see martial artists walking and training among them.

While flying through the air, Chen Ning took out a Voice Transmission Spirit Stone and contacted Zhuge Bai.

"Brother Chen, is there anything I can help you with?"

Do you know about the Nine Li Demon Race?

Chen Ning asked.

"The Nine Li Demon Race is a tribe composed of demons. They were very powerful in High Antiquity times, but have now declined. They are all located in the far south of the Central Province. Brother Chen, are you in the Southernmost Region?"

"Um."

"Damn it, Brother Chen, you're not including me again! You ran off to the Southernmost Region all by yourself. I could even hear the cracking sound of you flying through the air."

"It happened so suddenly."

Chen Ning chuckled dryly, "By the way, do you know anything about the Nine Li Royal Clan?"

"The Nine Li Demon Race is a large clan composed of demons from multiple clans, and the Nine Li Royal Clan possesses royal blood. The Nine Li Royal Clan bloodline has miraculous power that can help fire cultivators comprehend the Great Dao of Fire and break through cultivation bottlenecks, thus making them a target of everyone's envy."

"Many forces have started to harbor wicked intentions, attempting to capture demons with the bloodline of the Nine Li Royal Clan. Gradually, they have developed a deep-seated hatred towards our Human Race. Therefore, the Nine Li Royal Clan is very well hidden and will not be easily known to outsiders. Once they are found out, it will inevitably lead to their deaths."

"Later, with the constraints imposed by the Heavenly Lake Holy Land, some forces dared not openly capture the Nine Li Royal Clan anymore. However, the abilities possessed by that bloodline were too miraculous. 'A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime,' so some forces would resort to underhanded tactics."

After Zhuge Bai finished speaking, he said with a hint of resentment, "Brother Chen, don't forget to take me with you next time! My grandpa said he's worried about me running off on my own, but he'll feel completely at ease if I'm with you, Brother Chen."

Okay! I'll definitely do it next time.

Chen Ning had grasped the basic information.

They then prepared to stop and check the exact location of the Nine Li Clan.

Just then...

The commotion nearby caught Chen Ning's attention.

It probed out with its Divine Sense.

In a dense forest, a dozen figures blocked the path of an old man and a young boy.

The old man shielded the girl behind him.

They were dealing with the people who were blocking their way.

"Old man, I've already said that we don't know the whereabouts of the Nine Li Royal Clan. We are just ordinary members of the Nine Li Clan; such secrets are beyond our reach."

"You old fox, you're very cunning. If you didn't know, why did you run away?"

Those people exuded a powerful aura.

Almost all of them were at the Earth Martial Realm.

The man in the black robes at the head of the group was Martial Venerable.

Knowing that the grandfather and grandson had nowhere to escape, they were no longer in a hurry to make a move.

"Hmph! Who doesn't know that the Nine Li Clan and your Human Race are sworn enemies? With so many of your powerful figures appearing, how could this old man not run?"

The old man had some injuries, indicating that he had just fought with these dozen or so people.

"Old fox, here's the deal: we won't make things difficult for you. If you help us infiltrate the core territory of your Nine Li Demon Race, we'll let you and your grandson go. How about it?"

The old man was caught in a dilemma.

The girl hid behind the old man in fear, her pretty face filled with dread.

The elderly find it even more difficult to make a decision.

On one side were his clansmen, and on the other was his granddaughter.

His own life didn't matter, but how could he bear to watch his granddaughter be slaughtered by these people?

"Old fox, you'd better make a decision quickly, or we'll lose patience."

The man in the black robe at the head of the group wore a mocking smile.

Suddenly.

He frowned and said, "Now that you're here, don't hide your true colors."

Chen Ning's heart skipped a beat.

They actually found themselves.

That's interesting.

Then.

Chen Ning stopped observing from afar and slowly approached them.

Upon seeing Chen Ning appear.

The old man and the young girl also cast curious glances their way.

The girl glanced at Chen Ning a couple more times because he was handsome.

She had never seen such a handsome man in Southernmost Region.

Who are you from?

The man in black robes asked in a deep voice.

"Just passing by."

Chen Ning smiled slightly.

"Passing by?"

The man in black robes sneered. If he hadn't made arrangements in advance, they wouldn't have discovered it. If word got out about what happened today, it would be hard to guarantee that the sect leader wouldn't punish them.

Thinking of this, he suddenly made his move, and a wisp of demonic energy swirled away.

"Demonic energy? Interesting?"

Chen Ning did not dodge.

He let the demonic energy come before him and then vanish into nothingness.

The Feipeng Battle Robe can ignore attacks from those below the Fifth Level of the Heaven Martial Realm.

Clearly, the opponent was only at the Martial Venerable Realm.

The attack was like a tickle.

"Please don't take offense, sir. What we did was dishonorable, so we had to be extra clean and efficient to prevent any leaks. We hope you will understand."

The man in the black robe was surprised.

He had no idea how the opponent had managed to catch that attack.

It's truly alarming.

Therefore, he had no choice but to let the other party go.

"You are also a powerful figure. We can pretend we've never met and become friends."

The man in the black robe forced a smile.

The next moment.

A Sword Qi swept across the battlefield with a whooshing sound.

"Not good!"

The man in black robes was startled.

But he had no time to prepare and was directly torn apart by the Sword Qi.

They perished here.

The others were also terrified.

He looked at Chen Ning in horror.

Their leader was killed in a single blow.

Their leader is a Seven-Star Martial Venerable!

The old man looked at Chen Ning with surprise.

That attack just now was absolutely stunning.

The young girl behind the old man also had a gleam in her eyes.

I never expected him to be not only good-looking but also so talented.

Chen Ning remained expressionless.

He didn't really want to get involved in it in the first place.

But the other party was too impatient and actually attacked me; well, I'm sorry to say that.

"I... I advise you not to act rashly. You can't afford to offend us. Considering you're also Human Race, if you retreat now, we'll let bygones be bygones."

The dozen or so people all became alert.

Bring your breath to its maximum.

These dozen or so people were all at the Earth Martial Realm, far inferior to the Hall Master's cultivation.

At this moment, they were all extremely wary of this person.

Chen Ning ignored him.

A thought subtly stirred within me.

The Setting Sun Sword Intent.

More than a dozen people grew old together, their lives fading away.

Upon witnessing this scene...

The girl's heart pounded. Those enemies who had just threatened her grandfather were now all speechless.

Chen Ning opened his palm, unleashing the Power of Plunder.

Let's start collecting the spoils; even a small amount is still something.

Actually, he doesn't need any of that; he can figure out the other person's background on his own.

These people cultivate demonic energy.

And in the Central Province, those who dare to intimidate me with their lineage and cultivate demonic energy are only...

The Demon Battle Saint Sect.

Chen Ning recalled that his connection with the other party stemmed from killing Jiang Yue, the other party's prodigy, in the secret realm.

It seems like another expense will have to be added to the bill now.
