Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell

"Break!"

After the Sword Spirit escaped.

Ning Qi directly broke the Formation and Restriction here.

"Call!"

After a gust of wind, the place returned to calm.

It also revealed his true colors.

It suddenly transformed into an island floating in the void of the Boundary Sea.

"Owner!"

Tu Hu appeared instantly.

"Master, it was all an illusion!"

"I feel a pang of emotion, "the Medicine Spirit remarked.

"Hmm, the training here is indeed extraordinary." "The strength of all of us is at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level."

Ning Qi nodded and said in a deep voice, "But even so, one can still be deceived."

"Master, are you alright?"

Tu Hu suddenly came over and asked with concern.

"It's alright, but our identities have been exposed."

Ning Qi shook his head, a serious expression on his face. "But it doesn't matter, we can just disguise ourselves."

"Disguise? That probably won't work either, since the Sword Spirit recognized me."

"Tu Hu said worriedly."

"Don't worry, I have a method."

Ning Qi smiled, then looked ahead and said, "Let's go. I'm sure things will get complicated."

"That bastard got away; he'll definitely notify others to come after us."

"It shouldn't be long before someone comes to deal with us." "You mean, he's sending someone here?"

Tu Hu asked, puzzled.

He wasn't here just now and doesn't know what happened.

I was puzzled by Ning Qi's words.

Logically speaking, Sword Spirit should be extra careful.

Otherwise, why would he go to such great lengths to hide and evade capture?

They also placed countless Sword Spirit in the outside world.

"Good."

Ning Qi nodded and explained, "This was all his conspiracy."

"Originally, he wanted to use my power to help him regain control of the Heavenly Tribulation."

"And, you'll have the opportunity to have my body."

"That way, he can escape his confinement here." "Oh? I see."

Upon hearing this, Tu Hu nodded.

"He was just trying to deceive me before, that's why he pretended to submit."

"After I fell into his trap, he immediately took action."

Ning Qi continued, "Later, to his surprise, my strength far exceeded his expectations."

"After I unleashed the Heavenly Tribulation, he thought victory was assured."

"I never expected that I would actually forge a new Sword Spirit on my own."

"So, when they were outmatched, they fled first."

He explained the situation in just a few words.

This shocked Tu Hu.

I never expected that the Sword Spirit would have orchestrated such a grand scheme.

"Master, if that's true, then he'll definitely spread the word to attract more people here in order to weaken you."

Tu Hu analyzed, "Then we're in danger."

"That's good, but this is no challenge for me."

Ning Qi nodded, then smiled, "What he doesn't know is that I also have Inner Realm."

"And my Inner Realm can connect to the outside world."

"I will follow his plan and continue searching for the Inheritance here."

"Once the outsiders arrive, I'll escape through the Inner Realm."

"By then, no one will know that I've already left."

"That's good, but since that's the case, we should hurry up and find the Inheritance here."

Tu Hu nodded and said.

They also relaxed their stance on Ning Qi's plan.

This way, they'll always have a way out. "Yes, you lead the way."

"What should we do next?"

The Medicine Spirit asked first.

His eyes were full of curiosity.

Only Tu Hu knew the way here.

They were able to get here so quickly only because Tu Hu led the way.

"Let's go. Since there are no fortuitous opportunity here, let's move forward."

"Skip directly from here and head to the core area of Inheritance."

Tu Hu sighed and pointed upwards.

"Alright! Get the Flying Vessel out, let's go!"

Ning Qi nodded, then gave the instructions.

"Yes!" Medicine Spirit agreed and immediately summoned the Flying Vessel.

Then the three of them arrived on the Flying Vessel at the same time.

"Open the protective shields, leave none behind."

Ning Qi made the arrangements directly.

"Ah, there's no danger."

"I'm puzzled, "Medicine Spirit said.

In his view, Ning Qi was a bit too easily frightened.

"I was worried about being secretly watched by this Sword Spirit, which is why I came to the Flying Vessel."

"Once the protective measures are in place, it will prevent others from probing us."

"That way, I can contact Shi Xiaokun and talk to him."

Seeing his confusion, Ning Qi patiently explained.

"I see, then I'll open it now!" After understanding, Medicine Spirit immediately opened all the protective measures on the Flying Vessel.

"Whoosh!"

"Call!"

Subsequently, under his control, all the protective measures on the Flying Vessel were activated.

For a time, they were completely isolated from the outside world.

You can only look outwards from the inside.

"Laugh..."

"Whoosh..."

After it was opened, the external defenses of the Flying Vessel suddenly began to fluctuate.

"Master, look, there really is someone investigating our situation."

Upon seeing this, Medicine Spirit immediately pointed to the protective shield and said...

"Hmph, this must be the Sword Spirit's doing." "But it's alright, let's go!"

Ning Qi didn't care.

He had known all along that the Sword Spirit would never let them go so easily.

That's why I intentionally had Medicine Spirit open the defenses here.

In this way, the Sword Spirit's detection can be blocked.

"Good!"

After Medicine Spirit agreed, she said to Tu Hu, "Brother Hu, please show me the way."

"This way!"

After Tu Hu agreed, he continued to lead the way.

Meanwhile, Ning Qi had already taken out his Jade Pendant.

After being activated, he began to communicate telepathically with Shi Xiaokun.

"Whoosh!" After a series of fluctuations, Shi Xiaokun's illusory figure gradually appeared.

"Owner!"

When he appeared, I greeted him respectfully.

"Shi Xiaokun, you've run into a bit of trouble."

Ning Qi said directly, "I need your cooperation."

"Master, I have something else to report to you!"

Shi Xiaokun also hurriedly spoke up.

"What's going on?"

Ning Qi asked.

"Your... the fact that you received the Inheritance has already been discovered."

"Right now, someone is heading towards your area."

"They all know that this is the Inheritance Land." Shi Xiaokun didn't hide anything and explained the situation directly.

His eyes were filled with a solemn expression.

Clearly, he was also worried about Ning Qi's situation.

"Master, you're really fast. He's barely left and the news's already out."

After hearing his words, Medicine Spirit smiled and said, "It seems our preparations were correct."

"Okay, keep accelerating and get away from here."

"Make it impossible for him to catch us!"

Ning Qi nodded and gave the instructions.

"Yes!"

After Medicine Spirit agreed, she continued to accelerate.

This caused the Flying Vessel's speed to increase dramatically.

Transforming into a streak of light, it traversed the void of the Boundary Sea. "Master, what exactly is going on?"

Shi Xiaokun asked, looking puzzled.

He was kept in the dark the whole time.

"I'll keep it short. I did indeed come to this Inheritance Land earlier."

"I thought I was about to succeed, but I was betrayed by a Sword Spirit."

Ning Qi then explained, "Later, I learned that the Sword Spirit's purpose was to Swordsmanship Inheritance."

"So, we were going to kill him, but he escaped."

"If they can't obtain my Inheritance, they'll naturally want to deal with me."

"That's why he took a desperate gamble and released my information."

"This way, I'll lure everyone here to deal with me."

"Then we can reap the benefits without lifting a finger."

He explained the situation clearly in just a few words. "I see. So what are your plans, and how can you help me?"

After Shi Xiaokun understood, he asked the question.

"I intend to continue searching for the remaining Inheritance here, but it would be very dangerous if everyone else came to capture me."

Ning Qi then continued, "Therefore, I need your cooperation."

"You must remain outside while they all come in."

"I can find your coordinates through the Inner Realm."

"Then, I can use you to escape directly from here."

"Understood."

Shi Xiaokun immediately understood what was going on. "Master, then I'll find a safe place and wait for you to come out."

"Yes, this is my plan!"

Ning Qi nodded in satisfaction and said in a deep voice, "You still need to get rid of their people and find an excuse to separate from them."

"Then, find a safe place and hide." "That's easy; everyone's heading to the Inheritance Land now."

"Everywhere else is safe, so I won't be in any danger wherever I go."

Shi Xiaokun said casually.

"So, Ye Lingshuang and the others are here too."

After hearing his explanation, Ning Qi immediately realized something.

"That's right, they've started to assemble, and her older brother has arrived too."

"However, I haven't gone there yet. If it's a call like that, I'll just separate from them."

After responding, Shi Xiaokun continued, "I feel that Miss Ji and the others will probably come as well."

"Wouldn't this be dangerous?"

"After all, this is the Sword Spirit's scheme; it's hard to say what he might do."

"Yes, that's for sure."

"He's willing to go all in, he must have a backup plan." Ning Qi thought for a moment, then continued, "I'll remind her, whether she listens or not is up to her."

"If anything happens then, don't blame me."

"Good."

"Master, I'll go say goodbye to them now and find a safe place."

Shi Xiaokun nodded and said seriously.

He abruptly cut off his telepathic communication with Ning Qi after saying just one sentence.

"Call!"

After he interrupted the telepathic transmission, Ning Qi's Jade Pendant began to flash again.

After he was aroused, a figure gradually appeared.

It was Ji Wanru's.

"Young Master Ding, where are you now?"

Ji Wanru asked directly, "I'm on my way back."

Ning Qi responded directly to her question.

"Go back? Don't you know? News of the Inheritance Land has already appeared?"

Ji Wanru asked.

"I know, you heard that someone has discovered the Inheritance Land, and someone has even obtained the Sword Art Inheritance, right?"

Ning Qi smiled and asked again.

"Yes, but we only know that this information is well-known and kept secret."

"However, some people have already obtained a portrait of this person."

Ji Wanru nodded and said seriously, "Do you know who this person is?"

"Yes, you know him too."

Ning Qi continued.

"Everyone I know... is around me, and the only one left is you." Ji Wanru thought for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "That person... wouldn't be you?"

"You guessed right, so now you know why I'm going out!"

Ning Qi nodded and continued, "Right now, I have already received the Sword Art Inheritance."

"So, I'm no longer concerned about any other traditions or Inheritance within it."

"Everyone else knows about this; if I stay, I'll only face death."

"I'll have to leave now."

"I see."

After understanding, Ji Wanru said, "In that case, you should go now."

"This is not a safe place for you."

"Let's go first and see if we can obtain any resources or Inheritance."

I advise you not to go either.

Ning Qi changed the subject, his expression turning serious. "Why?"

Ji Wanru asked, puzzled.

She knew very well that Ning Qi's reminder was definitely not unfounded.

They must know something to say that.

"I'll get straight to the point, this is all a conspiracy by the Sword Spirit..."

Ning Qi paused for a moment before telling Ji Wanru everything he knew.

After saying this, Ji Wanru fell silent.

"Brother Ding, are you saying that the Sword Spirit was deliberately designed to lure people here?"

Xu Haotian, who was standing nearby, came over and asked.

He had already met up with Ji Wanru long ago.

"That's right, exactly."

Ning Qi nodded, then warned in a deep voice, "So, everything here is a trap. If you come, you'll likely become his victims."

"He has already schemed against everyone else, including the others."

I understand what you mean.

Xu Haotian nodded, sighed, and said, "However, we are here because of the city lord's orders."

"If we don't go to this last Inheritance Land, we won't be able to explain ourselves when we return."

"Well then, I wish you all the best."

Ning Qi knew that there was no point in trying to persuade him any further.

Since they want to go, let them go.

"Brother Ding, hello. We should be safe together."

Xu Haotian continued, "Once you've disguised yourself, there won't be any problem."

"I also have special disguise techniques here, so I won't be discovered by others."

"No need. I'm not interested in the rest of the Inheritance." Ning Qi shook his head and said, "I'll take my leave now. Let's meet again outside if we have the chance."

After he finished speaking, he ended the telepathic communication.

"Master, it's actually okay to be with them."

"If there's danger, we can use the Inner Realm to take them away together."

Medicine Spirit waited until he stopped transmitting his voice before speaking.

"You're right, but not everyone is qualified to know about my Inner Realm."

"With so many people coming in, what's the difference between this place and the outside world?"

Ning Qi looked at him before saying, "So, you should travel at full speed."

How much of the Inheritance we can obtain depends on our fate.

"Good!"

After Medicine Spirit agreed, she sped up her pace.
