Reparations

Many thoughts raced through Ning Qi's mind. Zi Yang's words once again awakened him. Although the plan to seize the cultivation Immortal Realm of Chu Kingdom had gone very smoothly and he had successfully taken the coordinates of the True Martial, he was not truly safe yet.

"To solve this problem once and for all, we must replace the Mountain and Sea Realm!"

"However, the war in the spirit realm may not be a bad opportunity for me. The war between the two spirit realms will be protracted, and there will be many local Battlefield. Perhaps there will be opportunities for me to benefit. When two tigers fight, one will surely be injured. Maybe the True Martial can take advantage of this opportunity to rise rapidly!"

Ning Qi's eyes flickered slightly, then he smiled gratefully at Zi Yang:

"Thank you for your guidance, Elder. I will give it my all in this Mysterious Realm and strive to reach the Void Realm as soon as possible!"

Ziyang stroked his beard and laughed heartily:

"You're a promising student. Go forth. Although the ranking of the Sword Sect's True Disciple is no longer a challenge for you, keep practicing diligently. There will be formidable opponents waiting for you in the future."

Ning Qi respectfully agreed and then left.

The entire Wuji Sword Sect was in an uproar.

The events that occurred at Fenglei Peak spread at an extremely rapid pace.

Ning Qi stormed Fenglei Peak, easily suppressing Ye True Disciple, the number one disciple, with a wave of his hand, and even confronted powerful figures for the sake of his followers.

The powerful figures of the Sword Sect all showed up, and in the end, even the sect leader was alarmed.

Countless disciples were dumbfounded.

What followed was amazement at Ning Qi.

In such a short time, Ning Qi has already grown to this level. Although the ranking of the True Disciple has not yet been redefined, in everyone's eyes, Ning Qi is already the undisputed number one True Disciple!

Many disciples were not only amazed by Ning Qi's terrifying strength, but also fervently impressed by Ning Qi protectiveness towards his fellow disciples.

Whether it's to confront powerful figures head-on or to directly share the world's blessings with their numerous followers, very few True Disciple can do it. This fervor only intensified after witnessing Qin Minghao rise from the bottom tier of True Disciple True Disciple the top ten in such a short time.

In an instant.

Ning Qi's prestige soared, and many of his True Disciple flocked to him, eager to follow Ning Qi.

Five Elements Peak.

True Disciple come every day.

Ning Qi sat upright in the Five Elements Palace, observing everything with a smile.

When he first established the Five Elements Peak, he naturally accepted any True Disciple who were willing to follow him. But now that he has established his prestige and his influence has grown, he will not accept just anyone.

Qin Minghao oversaw the selection process at the front peak.

Only those True Disciple with great strength and good character are qualified to follow Ning Qi.

Nevertheless, people continued to flock to serve the country.

but.

None of the disciples who were among the top ten True Disciple came.

That's normal.

The Ten True Disciple are all future great talents, and they are proud in their hearts. Even if they feel that they are not as good as Ning Qi and Ye Chen, they will not easily submit to them. Previously, He Tian, the Tenth True Disciple, followed Jiang Qingxue because Jiang Qingxue had done him a favor, while Wang Ye, the Ninth True Disciple, followed Ye Chen because his profound skills were incomplete.

Inside the Five Elements Palace.

Ning Qi and Jiang Qingxue are enjoying tea.

Jiang Qingxue was slightly reserved, completely unlike her aloof demeanor in front of the other disciples:

"Senior Brother Ning's tea is truly wonderful; it can even lead one into a state of enlightenment. Qingxue hasn't tasted such a wondrous spiritual tea in a long time!"

Her words contained some flattery, but not entirely. The wonder of the Enlightenment Tea made her take notice, her eyes shining with a different light. She also gained a deeper understanding of Ning Qi's background. This immortal seed may not have risen to prominence for long, but he probably has deep blessings and possesses many precious things.

Ning Qi chuckled lightly, neither confirming nor denying.

Jiang Qingxue rose from her seat and gave a graceful bow.

"Qingxue has come today to apologize to Senior Brother Ning. What happened to Jiang Xuan was Qingxue's fault, and I ask Senior Brother Ning for forgiveness."

The words had barely left his mouth.

A yellow light flickered in her palm, then condensed into a small, earthen-yellow flag patterned with mountains and hills. A hint of reluctance flashed in her eyes, and then she said:

"This low-grade spiritual treasure is called the Thick Earth Trapping Flag. It can both defend against and trap enemies. It contains the Myriad Rivers Earth Trapping Formation, which even cultivators at the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm cannot easily break free from. Please accept it, Senior Brother Ning."

Ning Qi's eyes showed a strange light.

This is undoubtedly a fine treasure. Even among low-grade spiritual treasures, this kind of treasure is considered top-tier. Jiang Qingxue's willingness to take it out is enough to demonstrate her sincerity, and perhaps it was also at Jiang Baichuan's behest.

Jiang Qingxue waved her hand again, and a bottle of pills shimmering with white jade light appeared. She continued:

"This is a Mind-Purifying Pill, which can ward off Heart Demon and purify the State of Mind. Please accept it, Senior Brother Ning. In the future, when I go to the Xuanzhen Secret Realm, I hope Senior Brother Ning will take good care of me. Qingxue is willing to follow Senior Brother Ning's lead!"

She bowed deeply, her attitude extremely sincere.

Ning Qi stared at her for a few breaths, then accepted both items and said calmly:

"Fine, they're all disciples of the Sword Sect. Let this be a one-time exception."

Strictly speaking, placing disciples in the past is not something shameful. In fact, it is quite common among the True Disciple disciples of the Wuji Sword Sect, since the position of sect leader is usually filled by the top-ranking True Disciple.

It's common knowledge that there's a traitor among Jiang Qingxue and Ye Chen.

They simply hadn't expected Ning Qi to be so monstrous.

This cannot be viewed according to common sense at all.

Jiang Qingxue's expression relaxed:

"Thank you, Senior Brother Ning!"

She was a clever woman who knew that as long as Ning Qi was around, she would inevitably be overshadowed by Ning Qi. Rather than being his enemy, she decided to turn him into a friend, so that he might be able to protect her once they reached the Xuanzhen Secret Realm.

After all, she wasn't under as much pressure as Ye Chen. The previous sect leader came from the Jiang family, so it didn't matter if the current sect leader wasn't from the Jiang family.

The two chatted casually.

Jiang Qingxue's recounting of her experiences was quite enlightening for Ning Qi. After all, he had only been reincarnated in the Mountain and Sea Realm for a few decades, unlike a prodigy like Jiang Qingxue who had walked step by step, experiencing life and death, and leaving her footprints in various parts of the Northern Xuan Region.

Qin Minghao's respectful voice rang out from outside the hall:

"Senior Brother Ning, Wang Ye requests an audience!"

Ning Qi raised an eyebrow, while Jiang Qingxue looked surprised, after all, Wang Ye was Ye Chen's follower.

Suddenly, she realized something, and her pupils contracted.

Ning Qi said calmly:

"Let him in."

A moment later.

The palace doors slowly opened, and two figures appeared before Ning Qi and Jiang Qingxue. Upon seeing Jiang Qingxue, Wang Ye was visibly startled, but quickly regained his composure and respectfully clasped his hands in greeting:

Wang Ye greets Senior Brother Ning and Senior Sister Jiang!

Ning Qi withdrew his gaze and casually sipped his tea:

"Ye Chen's men dare to come to my Five Elements Peak? They've got some nerve."

An invisible sense of oppression filled the hall, even making Jiang Qingxue feel a little frightened. When Ning Qi, it was like a gentle breeze, like an ordinary person without cultivation. But if he revealed even the slightest bit of his true power, it was like a sleeping giant opening its eyelids a crack.

Wang Ye broke out in a cold sweat. He knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice:

"Wang Ye has come to seek refuge with Senior Brother Ning. Please, Senior Brother Ning, take him in!"

Jiang Qingxue's eyes revealed an expression of "I knew it," and she felt a little envious. She had gone to great lengths to get the tenth True Disciple, He Tian, to join her ranks, but now Wang Ye was offering himself up. Ning Qi was not too surprised, and his expression remained calm.

"You're Ye Chen's person, so why are you following me for no reason?"

A hint of anger flashed in Wang Ye's eyes.

This anger wasn't directed at Ning Qi, but at Ye Chen and the Ye Household.

Ever since Ye Chen's crushing defeat that day, the Ye Household members have been somewhat resentful towards him, feeling that he, the dignified ninth True Disciple, couldn't even defeat Qin Minghao, otherwise why would he have caused Ye Chen to lose face?

Wang Ye initially ignored these voices.

But when Ye Chen reappeared, he had the same thoughts and was extremely indifferent to him. Not only that, he also forgot about the follow-up Cultivation Method of the Three-Headed Six- Military Sha Body he had promised him some time ago.

Later, he inadvertently learned from a disciple of the Ye Household that the Ye Household had no idea where the complete Three-Headed Six- Military Sha was. Ye Chen only knew some vague clues at the time.

Upon learning that he had been deceived and his years of hopes had been dashed, Wang Ye was furious.

After injuring several disciples of Fenglei Peak, he decided to join Ning Qi. After all, judging from Qin Minghao's treatment, Ning Qi treated his junior brothers and sisters completely differently than Ye Chen.

Wang Ye slowly recounted these events one by one, finally taking a deep breath and saying:

Please, Senior Brother Ning, take me in!

Now that he had calmed down, he realized that Ning Qi was probably his only way out. Otherwise, with Ye Chen's strength and the Ye Household's resources, he feared his future would be difficult.

The hall was completely silent.

Jiang Qingxue suddenly realized that this was not unexpected. She had been competing with Ye Chen for many years, and this seemed like something Ye Chen would do.

Ning Qi's expression remained unchanged.

How do I know you're not a spy sent by Ye Chen?

Wang Ye felt a pang of bitterness:

"I can prove it to Senior Brother Ning!"

Before Ning Qi could speak, a thunderous roar came from outside the Five Elements Peak:

"Wang Ye, get out here!"

It's Ye Chen.

After Wang Ye injured several disciples of Fenglei Peak, someone immediately notified him. When he arrived, he discovered that Wang Ye had actually set foot on Wuxing Peak, and his anger surged even more intensely. These days, the higher Ning Qi's prestige had risen, the more distressed he felt.

Wang Ye's face paled, but he quickly regained his composure.

Within the Sword Sect, Ye Chen would never dare to openly kill him. At worst, he would be humiliated, but he would have to be extremely careful when going out in the future.

He took a deep breath, bowed, and was about to leave when Ning Qi's calm voice came from behind him:

How do you intend to prove it to me?

Wang Ye froze, and upon hearing the words "Wang Ye, get out here!", a ferocious glint appeared in his eyes.

"Senior Brother Ning, please help me block Ye Chen!"

A hint of amusement flashed in Ning Qi's eyes as he chuckled:

"Good."

A pang of sympathy flashed through Jiang Qingxue's heart. Poor Ye Chen was probably going to be humiliated again today. At the same time, she was also somewhat relieved that she hadn't been the one to stick her neck out.

Outside the Five Elements Peak.

Ye Chen stared at the Five Elements Peak with a grim expression, about to continue his tirade, when his pupils contracted as he saw Wang Ye standing next to that nightmarish figure.

The anger in his heart suddenly exploded, and his knuckles cracked as he clenched his fists.

The numerous disciples of Fenglei Peak behind them began to shout and curse:

"Wang Ye, you shameless traitor!"

"Senior Brother Ye has been so kind to you, yet you show no gratitude whatsoever! You despicable person!"

"I used to call you my brother, it's a disgrace to me, I spit on you!"

"Hurry up and kneel down to apologize to Senior Brother Ye!"

Relying on Ye Chen's backing, they actually started cursing Wang Ye, the tenth True Disciple. After all, Wang Ye was once the number two figure in Fenglei Peak. Now, kicking him while he's down might also be driven by a sense of superiority in trying to drag Wang Ye down completely.

Wang Ye's gaze grew increasingly fierce. Suddenly, he grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth, and charged towards the disciples of Fenglei Peak.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred-foot-tall giant with three heads and six arms appeared in the void, wielding a deadly weapon, exuding terrifying Sha Qi, and roaring through the heavens:

"To hell with your kindness! Get out of here!!"

This roar released all the pent-up frustration he had accumulated over the years as a dog.

Wang Ye was incredibly fierce, his aura overwhelming, like a tiger among sheep. Many disciples of Fenglei Peak paled. Ye Chen sneered, about to make a move to suppress him, when a casual voice froze him in place:

"Why don't you try it yourself?"

Ye Chen slowly twisted his neck, his teeth practically grinding to powder.

"Ning Qi! How dare you interfere in the family affairs of my Fenglei Peak?!"

Ning Qi's expression remained unchanged:

"From this moment on, Wang Ye is a member of my Five Elements Peak."

Wang Ye laughed loudly and charged forward recklessly. With a punch, he shattered the void, and a True Disciple was sent flying backward with a collapsed chest. He wouldn't die, but he was definitely severely injured. This was the rule of the Sword Sect: disciples could fight and bleed, but they could not kill each other or have their cultivation destroyed.

Ye Chen's eyes were bloodshot, and he finally couldn't resist taking action.

But immediately, streaks of five-colored Sword Qi surrounded him. Ning Qi did not make a move to suppress them, but simply let Ye Chen watch.

Jiang Qingxue was secretly astonished, and a sense of awe for Ning Qi rose within her. This was even more unbearable than directly suppressing Ye Chen, and the feeling of being forced to watch helplessly was enough to devour everything.

Ye Chen roared shrilly, rushing around with all his might, but it was all in vain.

He had no way to break free from Ning Qi.

Wang Ye laughed wildly, seemingly venting all the pent-up frustration of the past years. He forcefully suppressed the many True Disciple of Fenglei Peak and roared:

I've been fed up with you bunch of good-for-nothings for a long time!

If it weren't for the fact that he was willing to die for the three-headed, six- Military Sha, why would he travel with these people?

After all, he was the ninth True Disciple. Apart from the previous few, the rest of the people who encountered him were only qualified to be easily suppressed. The few True Disciple who had been shouting happily before all suffered and were dealt with seriously. One by one, their spiritual bones were broken and their Primordial Spirit were smashed and made dizzy.

Such a brutal scene sent chills down one's spine.

Only after no more Fenglei Peak disciples were unharmed did Wang Ye stop. He let out a long breath, feeling incredibly refreshed. He returned to his normal size and respectfully landed in front of Ning Qi.

"Senior Brother Ning, this is my sincerity!"

Ning Qi chuckled and nodded.

Ye Chen looked at the two of them with eyes like a demon:

"Good! Very good! Ning Qi, you're excellent!"

Ning Qi's gaze swept over, like a divine sword piercing the sky, causing Ye Chen's breath to catch in his throat.

"Get out!" Ning Qi's attitude was expressed in a single, unassuming word.

Looking at that composed figure from beginning to end, everyone felt immense awe.

Ye Chen gritted his teeth, waved his hand, and led the many wounded and disabled disciples of Fenglei Peak away in a sorry state.
