Ning Jing stood atop the mountain, looking down at the Sea of Clouds below.
This was the rear mountain of the Myriad Manifestation Immortal Sect. Ever since she had joined the Immortal Sect, Ning Jing had grown fond of this place. Whenever she had free time, she would come here to be alone.
"Senior Sister Apprentice, the Old Ancestor asked us to go pay our respects."
A voice sounded behind Ning Jing.
The speaker was Luo Ren, one of the Five Great Geniuses selected to ascend the mountain alongside Ning Jing. Unlike Ning Jing, Luo Ren detested quiet surroundings. He loved bustle and commotion, and his favorite thing was to show off before others.
"The Old Ancestor?"
Ning Jing's heart stirred as she recalled why she had come to the Myriad Manifestation Immortal Sect.
'The Myriad Manifestation Immortal Sect broke faith and betrayed us, causing our Ning Family grievous losses! This time, we must make them pay the price. First, infiltrate the sect. Someone will naturally come to receive you later. Once the matter succeeds, I will have your father pass the position of the Ning Family's next family head to you.'
Her grandfather had told her this before she entered the sect. She had joined this place to investigate the Myriad Manifestation Old Ancestor's situation.
"Let's go."
Putting away her thoughts, Ning Jing followed Luo Ren toward the main hall without expression.
Both were only in the Qi Refining Realm and could not use Sword Flight, so they could only travel along the mountain path.
They had only just walked halfway when Luo Ren's expression suddenly changed. He raised a hand and removed a token from his waist.
'Run!'
A bright character emerged.
Luo Ren's face underwent a Great Change. He immediately turned around, ignoring Ning Jing behind him,
