Killing with a borrowed blade

"Good!"

After Ning Qi agreed, he went straight inside.

"I'll come and get you to leave tomorrow!"

Seeing this, Xu Qingqiu did not linger any longer.

After being reminded, he turned and left.

"Master, can we take a look at that sword now?"

Medicine Spirit suddenly thought of something and asked curiously.

"Hmm, not bad."

Ning Qi sat down in front of the stone platform and took it out directly.

The sword stuck in the Rockery reappeared.

"Call!"

A sudden burst of Light Wave caused the entire cave abode to tremble. "Such powerful Sword Qi!"

"The Medicine Spirit exclaimed."

"They're really strong, so we can't watch them here!"

Ning Qi frowned, then said, "Let's go back to the Inner Realm and investigate."

"Good!"

Medicine Spirit agreed and set off with Ning Qi.

After Ning Qi opened the Inner Realm passage, they went in together.

After entering, they went directly to the sect built by Shi Xiaokun.

We arrived at the back of the mountain.

Ning Qi took it out again and placed it in front of him.

"Master, what is this?"

Shi Xiaokun rushed over after inquiring. He looked curious when he saw the sword on Ning Qi's side.

"This is a treasure I just acquired at the auction."

Ning Qi explained, "Because the Sword Qi fluctuations were too great, I came here to see what was going on."

"Oh? There's Formation Restriction on this Rockery!"

"Furthermore, it also has the function of sealing the sword's edge."

"If this barrier is broken, the sword's true power will be unleashed."

Shi Xiaokun made his judgment after just one glance.

A pair of eyes stared at the sword, a solemn expression on their face.

"Hmm, I'd like to see if this Restriction is easy to open!"

Ning Qi nodded.

He had noticed something was wrong before.

That's why I didn't open it at the auction. That would have made it too easy to expose.

Now that I'm back, I can finally explore its secrets with peace of mind.

"Then let's join forces to break this!"

Shi Xiaokun took a deep breath, then stepped forward. "I have a feeling this sword is no ordinary weapon."

"You mean it's even more powerful than Heavenly Tribulation?"

Upon hearing this, Medicine Spirit showed a look of curiosity.

In his eyes, the Heavenly Tribulation was the strongest.

For Shi Xiaokun to say something like that, he must be someone extraordinary.

So, will it exceed one's own Heavenly Tribulation?

"That's not quite it, but it shouldn't be that weak either!"

Shi Xiaokun first shook his head, then turned his gaze forward.

The sword had begun to tremble with a trembling sound. Within it, countless streams of energy surged.

It gives one a feeling of unease.

"Then, I'll set up the Formation Restriction here first."

"To prevent any problems from arising later and ruining the sect we've worked so hard to build."

Ning Qi looked around and said in a deep voice.

"Alright, Master, then you set up the defensive Barrier!"

"Let me examine this sword first, see if there's anything fishy about it!"

Shi Xiaokun nodded, but showed no intention of helping.

My attention was completely drawn to the sword.

"I'll help you!"

Medicine Spirit then came to help Ning Qi.

Tu Hu didn't say anything, but stayed with Shi Xiaokun, preparing to see what was going on together.

Ning Qi then began to set up Barrier here.

With the If Water Three Thousand through it, and the double Formation of time zones, time here moves very slowly.

Even if something does happen...

This also minimizes its destructive power, giving it enough time to move it elsewhere.

Ning Qi busied himself around for quite a while before finally stopping.

They returned to Shi Xiaokun's side and focused their attention on him again.

"How about it?"

Ning Qi looked at it and asked curiously.

Shi Xiaokun's Formation formations is very high; even he surpasses him.

Therefore, it's much better to let him see it than for him to see it himself.

Ning Qi's insights into many Formation Restriction were taught by Shi Xiaokun. He was only able to fully grasp them later on.

"This Formation's Restriction are very effective."

Shi Xiaokun frowned and said, "However, overall, it can be divided into two auras!"

"However, each of these auras is bound by countless Formation Restriction restrictions."

"A slight misstep could backfire."

"And after a failure, the hidden Formation Restriction within will be activated again."

"In that case, the Formation Restriction on this Rockery will never be able to be broken again."

"Hearing you say that, it really does sound complicated."

Ning Qi frowned and circled around him. "Have you thought of any ideas?"

That's incredibly responsible.

Even Medicine Spirit herself was getting a headache from listening to it.

Not to mention breaking through this Formation's Restriction. "That's true."

Even Tu Hu started to complain together.

He had been with Shi Xiaokun the whole time, so naturally he understood the power of the Formation Restriction better than the two of them.

"Yes, but it's not like there's no way!"

Shi Xiaokun smiled and then said, "However, this will take time to break down."

How long do you think it will take?

Ning Qi understood his meaning and asked in a deep voice.

Some Formation Restriction truly require resources to be consumed before they can be broken.

Therefore, it will take more time.

"I'll set up some Formation Restriction here later, which might not take long."

"If we're lucky, a few months will be enough, which is equivalent to more than ten years within the Time-Difference Formation."

"If we're unlucky, it could take several years or even longer, which is equivalent to hundreds of years!" Shi Xiaokun shook his head and said uncertainly.

"Oh? That took so long? We've been tricked."

"What if this thing turns out to be useless? We'd be at a huge loss!"

Upon hearing this, Medicine Spirit immediately became displeased.

This is clearly a case of buying something that's neither fish nor fodder.

"That's not necessarily true, think about it!"

Shi Xiaokun denied his claim. "If it were just an ordinary thing, would it have such a strong seal?"

"Only the most precious treasures can possess this kind of seal."

"That's true."

"It's a pity it was such a waste of time."

Medicine Spirit understood, shrugged, and said, "Since we have this much time, why don't we find a few more treasures?"

"I have a feeling this sword is no ordinary weapon!" Shi Xiaokun said in a deep voice, his eyes gleaming. "Once I open it, I'll know what's going on."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

Ning Qi understood his intention and stopped worrying about it.

Since he says he can open it, then we'll see.

I don't have time to waste on this right now.

"Okay, wait for my message."

Shi Xiaokun nodded, a determined look on his face. "I will definitely open it."

"Good luck!"

After the encouragement from Medicine Spirit, he lost interest.

Do you need any help?

Tu Hu seemed to realize something and asked.

"No need, I can handle it all by myself." Shi Xiaokun shook his head and said with a smile, "Just wait for my good news!"

"Okay, let's go back and rest."

Ning Qi didn't delay any longer and agreed to leave with him.

After he left, Shi Xiaokun began to seriously study the Rockery.

Meanwhile, Ning Qi, from the Ruins, has come to the outside world.

"Master, won't you take a look at the Crystal Box on Mount Buzhou?"

Medicine Spirit suddenly thought of something and quickly asked.

His face was full of curiosity.

"I'm not watching anymore."

Ning Qi shook his head and said directly, "Look at the time, it's already late."

"I need to conserve my energy and prepare to set off."

"We'll find out more when we're on the road and it's convenient." "Alright!"

Medicine Spirit was somewhat disappointed, but after agreeing, she continued, "Do you think Shi Xiaokun can open it?"

He still didn't have much hope for Shi Xiaokun.

After all, this Rockery is really too mysterious.

"I don't know then, but let's rest first."

"Give it to him, there shouldn't be any problems."

Ning Qi shook his head, showing no intention of continuing the conversation.

He walked straight out and went into the cave abode.

Medicine Spirit wanted to say something, but ultimately gave up.

After returning to his cave abode, Ning Qi began to meditate and regulate his breathing.

In the backyard of the Main City auction house of the Cloud Mist Sect, candlelight still shone, and several people were chatting in a Study.

Among them was Xu Feng'er.

At this moment, she was dressed in white, which made her graceful figure even more captivating.

Her pretty face is simply mesmerizing.

However, there was no smile on her face at this moment.

Instead, they all exuded an aura of coldness and frost.

"Holy Maiden, this is all thanks to your intelligence."

"It caused heavy casualties to all three families, and in the end, only I escaped!"

The middle-aged man who had been killed by Ning Qi earlier had a solemn expression.

His expression was full of displeasure.

"You're saying he has the strength of Taiyi Golden Immortal?"

Xu Feng'er looked at him, her expression turning serious. This kid was really hiding his strength; she hadn't expected him to already be at the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

He had completely deceived me from beginning to end.

If that's true, then his strength is no less than his master's.

Who is this person? To have such cultivation at such a young age.

If he had wanted to deal with me back then, I probably wouldn't have even had a chance to make a move.

That was incredibly close.

"Not bad, and it's not even at the initial stage of strength yet."

"I feel that he has at least the strength of a fifth-rank cultivator."

The middle-aged man nodded, a serious expression on his face. "This time, so many of my men were killed."

"He even took the news about Mount Buzhou with him; I will definitely not let him get away with this."

I think you should save your breath.

"Since he's a master with the strength of Taiyi Golden Immortal, do you still want to go against him?" Xu Feng'er said upon hearing his words, "Going there will only be a death sentence for you."

"Although I am no match for him, my Wang Household still has influential members."

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "I, Wang Xiaotian, swear to God that I will make him pay the price."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."

Seeing this, Xu Feng'er stopped trying to persuade her.

This kind of idiot deserves to die even if he were to die again.

Knowing the opponent was very strong, they still insisted on throwing their lives away.

Tell me anything else you know about him!

Wang Xiaotian turned his attention to her and then asked.

"I found out he's from the Myriad Sword Sect."

Xu Feng'er thought for a moment, then said seriously, "As far as I know, they are setting off tomorrow."

"It's actually someone from the Myriad Sword Sect! I didn't expect them to have produced such a powerful expert after all these years." "The Myriad Sword Sect has produced a master too!"

Wang Xiaotian clearly knew about the Myriad Sword Sect: "So, in that case, his strength is much greater than their sect leader's!"

"Their sect leader's strength is now on par with mine!"

"Just because he's with people from the Myriad Sword Sect doesn't prove he's one of the Myriad Sword Sect!"

Xu Feng'er emphasized, "I haven't investigated these matters thoroughly yet."

"That's enough. I know the Myriad Sword Sect is setting off soon."

"Then I'll have a way to deal with them."

Wang Xiaotian revealed a sinister look, and then said, "Hmph, if I can't deal with him, can't I at least deal with his people!"

"Don't do anything reckless. The Myriad Sword Sect is stationed there for defense."

"You've made things worse by dealing with them."

"The city lord won't let you get away with this!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng'er frowned slightly: "Then you'll be dragging me down with you!" "Don't worry about that," Xu Feng'er replied, "I absolutely won't drag you down with me!"

Wang Xiaotian smiled and continued, "Nobody knows I have a grudge against him."

"And nobody knew I was going to deal with him."

"Besides, I have other ways to deal with him, so you don't need to worry."

"Oh, and don't forget, two other families are also working with you."

"They've already been killed. What are your plans?"

Xu Feng'er suddenly remembered something and quickly asked.

"You've reminded me, this is easy to handle!"

"I will visit both families one by one later."

Wang Xiaotian suddenly realized what was going on and continued, "I'll explain the situation here to their families later."

"Then, that bastard will naturally have two more rivals."

"Maybe I won't even need to lift a finger; someone else will take care of him." "That's a good idea."

Xu Feng'er smiled and continued, "Then I'll send someone to inform both families later."

"Then it's settled."

"It's getting late, so I'll take my leave now."

After Wang Xiaotian agreed, he clasped his hands in a fist salute and stood up.

"Please!"

Xu Feng'er also got up and saw him off as he left.

After arriving at the courtyard gate, I watched him leave.

"Sir, what if this kid knows it was us?"

Her bodyguard looked worried. "Given his strength, if he wants to cause us trouble, things will get complicated."

"He'll definitely know it was us!"

Xu Feng'er nodded, feigning indifference. "However, he wouldn't dare cause trouble in the Main City! Besides, my Cloud Mist Sect isn't someone to be trifled with."

"Taiyi Golden Immortal has arrived, yet he doesn't even deserve to sit in the position of Grand Elder!"

"That's true, otherwise he would have come knocking on our door long ago."

The guard nodded, relieved.

"Those idiots, I thought I could teach him a lesson."

"Unexpectedly, he turned the tables and killed me in the end."

Xu Feng'er revealed a look of disdain. "Inferior in strength, and far inferior intellect to this kid."

"So what should we do next?"

The guard asked again.

"What should we do? We should go and inform the other two first, of course."

"Tell their families what happened and let them deal with the kid."

Xu Feng'er thought for a moment, then instructed, "Just make sure we're not implicated." "Understood!"

The guard respectfully accepted the order and then said, "Then, shall we depart now?"

"Okay, go ahead."

Xu Feng'er nodded and instructed, "Notify everyone as soon as possible!"
