All Sounds Bow, the Domain Trembles
What kind of instrument is this?
"How come I've never seen this before?"
"But it was exceptionally radiant and dazzling!"
No one recognized the instrument, but just by looking at it, they knew it was no ordinary object.
But musical instruments and sheet music are ultimately just supplementary tools.
The true core is always the realm of musical rhythm.
Just like Li Xuanyi, even with sheet music of that caliber, he was still no match for Old Freak Huai.
At this moment, Chen Ning remained calm and composed, bringing the Dazzling Suona to his lips and playing it.
The next moment.
The high-pitched sound of the suona horn rang out.
A melody of "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix to the Phoenix" was played.
The expressions on the faces of those around him began to change.
"This child's musical skill has actually reached the fifth level Grand Music of the Central Heaven' realm!"
"This piece is in no way inferior to the celestial-level masterpiece, 'Heart Like Still Water'!"
"Old Freak Huai has met his match this time!"
The crowd exclaimed in admiration.
The Divine Scholar Tree Sapling also began to grow amidst that magnificent melody.
"One foot... two feet... seven feet!"
"What a formidable young man! Give him more time, and he might not be weaker than Old Freak Huai!"
Seeing the growth of the Divine Scholar Tree Sapling, people realized that it could no longer be called a sapling.
Through the efforts of many people.
It has already grown into a large tree.
Unfortunately, the Divine Sophora Tree stopped growing after Chen Ning finished playing that piece.
Ultimately, it stopped growing at a height of seven feet.
"Sigh... it's a bit of a shame..."
Someone let out a long sigh.
They felt sorry for Chen Ning, and equally saddened by the impending fate of the city lord.
Many times.
Everyone longs to witness a miracle, but miracles don't happen so easily.
They all knew it.
The young man before me is already very strong. His musical skill is something I have never seen before, and I have never even heard of before!
But.
Ultimately, he could never compare to Old Freak Huai.
Chen Ning made the Divine Scholar Tree Sapling grow to seven feet, but the Old Freak Huai Divine Scholar Tree Sapling grow to ten feet.
It's obvious.
There is still a significant gap between them.
Insurmountable.
Old Freak Huai, who had been holding his breath, finally breathed a sigh of relief and laughed loudly, "Kid, you want to be a hero and save the damsel in distress? I'm afraid you don't have the ability, hahaha!"
Everyone felt a wave of disappointment.
It's lamentable that Lord Nalan is about to submit to such a thief.
Actually.
After Chen Ning demonstrated such a high level of musical skill, they all believed what Chen Ning and the little monk said.
Pity.
Old Freak Huai used his unparalleled musical prowess to blackmail the city lord.
So frustrating... so frustrating...
But then...
A smile played on Chen Ning's lips as he said calmly, "What's the rush? This is just the beginning..."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Some people were surprised to find that their personal musical instruments had floated into the air on their own, seemingly out of control.
More and more musical instruments are gathering in this sky.
Qin (a type of zither).
Zither.
Drum.
Xiao.
A wide variety of musical instruments are available.
These instruments began to play on their own.
Waves of sound swept out.
That's not all.
This moment.
Countless voices rang out.
The sound of the wind.
The sound of rain.
Thunder.
The fire was raging.
The chirping of insects and the calls of birds.
Flowers bloom and fade.
This place suddenly became lively.
The distant world.
The same applies.
The sounds of all things roared incessantly.
This surprised many people.
The sound of reading aloud drifted out from a certain academy.
Some sacred beasts that had been dormant for a long time within the Boulder Domain suddenly awoke, letting out a series of howls.
Now.
The entire Boulder Domain was in an uproar!
The sounds in the world seemed to have a physical form.
Not a distance of thousands of miles.
They surrounded Chen Ning.
Chen Ning's figure soared into the sky.
Like an emperor.
All voices bow their heads!
Incomparably noble!
Now.
A strange light flickered in Nalan Yao's beautiful eyes on the high platform.
The others were even more deeply shocked.
Transfixed.
The Divine Scholar Tree Sapling grew wildly.
It greedily absorbs the sounds of all things.
One zhang!
Ten zhang!
Hundred zhang!
Absolutely breathtaking.
The tree trunk also grew thicker and stronger.
In the blink of an eye, it became like an ancient tree that has stood for thousands of years.
The platform could no longer support it.
Everyone was stunned!
They quickly fled in all directions.
The tree trunk possessed immense power, and they avoided it at all costs.
Nalan Yao also lightly touched the ground with her jade feet, transforming into a streak of silver light and gracefully leaving that area.
Much later.
Only then did the Divine Sophora Tree stop growing.
Now.
Everyone felt dizzy for a moment, and it took them a while to come to their senses. They all looked at Chen Ning with shocked expressions.
What is that?
"It's simply a miracle!"
"I take back what I just said. He's no match for Old Freak Huai. Old Freak Huai wouldn't even be worthy of carrying his shoes!"
At this moment, Old Freak Huai was already terrified and completely lost his mind.
His Daoist heart collapsed.
His eyes widened as he stared intently at the towering ancient tree.
Even Li Xuanyi clenched his fists tightly; he had always been the most dazzling presence in the Boulder Domain.
But at this moment...
He felt inferior in front of this person.
A voice inside him kept telling him that he, Li Xuanyi, was inferior to that person.
Although his cultivation level was at the Late-Stage Saint, judging solely from the Dao of Music Chen Ning was displaying at this moment, it was probably comparable to that of the most prosperous and ancient Aristocratic Clan on the Nebula Continent.
They'd fight tooth and nail to recruit him!
His brilliance was completely overshadowed by Chen Ning.
Although Old Freak Huai had no way out after his miraculous feat, it could be considered that he helped Li Xuanyi.
But Li Xuanyi was still fiercely jealous.
The woman he'd always longed for but couldn't have was about to become that guy's!
Shi Potian was completely dumbfounded.
I was filled with lingering fear.
Fortunately, a conflict didn't break out with him at the time. Judging from Chen Ning's current abilities, if he had offended him...
The elders in his family will definitely give him a good scolding.
They might even have to confine him to his home.
Old Freak Huai's expression changed several times, but in the end, he reluctantly left with Li Xuanyi.
Nalan Yao walked over with a smile and said, "Thank you for helping me out of that predicament. Unknowing Pavilion your name?"
My name is Chen Ning.
"Young Master Chen is too kind. Why don't you return to the City Lord's Mansion with Yao'er now?"
"Good!"
Chen Ning agreed.
Chen Ning did want to ask her a few questions.
And.
The young monk also sought her out, essentially doing her a favor.
This young monk was eight or nine years old, kind-hearted, but also mysterious.
This is considered his position on this vast Vast Land.
The first person to find it interesting.
The second one...
This was the Lord of Nalan City.
Others might not have noticed, but Chen Ning could see that the City Lord Nalan maintained a sense of composure throughout.
Even when she was being coerced by that Old Freak Huai.
The difficulty of that dilemma was also feigned.
Chen Ning didn't believe that someone like her would willingly be with that old man.
So.
There are only two possibilities: either Old Freak Huai has something she wants on him.
This one is more reliable.
The second possibility is even more terrifying.
That is, this Lord Nalan has never taken Old Freak Huai and the people of Brocade Zither City, including the Domain Lord, seriously.
Soon.
The matter here has come to an end.
Chen Ning, along with Hua Luo, the little monk, and the demon ape, stepped into the city lord's mansion.
