"Brother!"
Seeing Ning Wangshu descend from the sky, Ning Ruoxuan cried out in pleasant surprise and hurried forward with small steps.
Meanwhile, that man and woman were utterly dumbfounded, staring with wide eyes and disbelief at Ning Wangshu, their throats bobbing as they swallowed hard...
"G-Golden... the Golden Core Realm!? How, how is that possible!?"
The Woman in Red breathed rapidly, calling out in a strained, trembling voice, her eyes filled with shock!
Iron Wolf also drew in sharp breaths repeatedly, a hint of terror in the gaze he fixed on Ning Wangshu. "Flying by controlling Qi... this is indeed the ability rumored to belong only to those who have stepped onto the Golden Core Great Path!"
"Yet isn't he a high school student who just finished the College Entrance Examination? How could..."
Iron Wolf fell into a daze, completely bewildered.
In their wildest dreams, they never expected Ning Wangshu's cultivation to reach such a level. Earlier, they had even verified the information provided by Xu Shengchuan.
The result they obtained was basically identical.
Regarding the incident where Ning Wangshu had exterminated an evil spirit at Zhang Yong's construction site, they merely assumed Ning Wangshu was a cultivator, but didn't think his cultivation could be very high.
They simply figured the evil spirit at that construction site was too weak, which was why he had easily slain it.
After all, they found out Ning Wangshu was a mere eighteen years old. At this age, even if one started cultivating from inside the womb, it was impossible to become all that powerful.
Therefore, they hadn't paid it much mind.
To be cautious, however, they still decided to capture Ning Ruoxuan first and use her to coerce Ning Wangshu, ensuring nothing could go wrong.
Yet they never anticipated that Ning Wangshu would be an invincible figure who had already stepped onto the Golden Core Great Path!
At that moment, they finally understood why they had suddenly been unable to move a moment ago.
For someone who had stepped into the Golden Core Realm and stood at the very peak of the entire Cultivation World, immobilizing them was simply an effortless task!
How could they possibly know that Ning Wangshu's cultivation was far beyond the mere Golden Core Stage? Even though his cultivation at this moment was still suppressed, the power he could mobilize had already recovered to the level of the early-stage Nascent Soul.
Yet the strongest known figures in the current Cultivation World were only at the Golden Core Stage.
As for whether there were higher realms above the Golden Core Stage, they had never even heard of them...
Hearing the two gasp in utter disbelief, Ning Wangshu couldn't help glancing at them before offering a slight smile to his younger sister, Ruoxuan. "Ruoxuan, don't worry, it's fine now. Your brother is here!"
"Mm!"
Ning Ruoxuan hurriedly replied, feeling completely free of worry at that moment.
"Alright, you head back first. Leave the rest to your brother to handle."
Ning Wangshu smiled.
"Okay, Brother, then I'll head back first."
Ning Ruoxuan responded in a hurry.
Watching his sister leave, Ning Wangshu redirected his gaze back toward the two people, then leisurely walked up to them with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Who sent you to make a move against my sister?" Ning Wangshu asked slowly, his calm tone belying a chilling killing intent.
The two exchanged glances, knowing they likely wouldn't escape calamity today, so they hardened their hearts.
The Woman in Red gritted her teeth. "Don't even think about getting anything out of our mouths!"
"That's right! At worst, it's just death! In our line of work, we always lick blood off the edge of a blade, and we've long since been mentally prepared to die if a mission fails!"
"So, if you want to pry anything from us, heh, keep dreaming!"
Iron Wolf also sneered.
Hearing this, Ning Wangshu chuckled. "Do you think that by keeping quiet, I won't be able to find out? Naive! You truly know nothing about my power and methods!"
With that, Ning Wangshu couldn't be bothered to waste any more breath on them. He immediately stepped up to the Woman in Red, formed a spell gesture, and executed the Soul Searching Technique...
In an instant!
The Woman in Red's eyes turned completely vacant and dazed.
Seeing this, Iron Wolf nearby was greatly startled. "Y-You, what did you do to her?"
Ning Wangshu ignored him, simply proceeding with the soul-searching on the Woman in Red. But very soon, Ning Wangshu frowned and muttered to himself, "They actually use the Dark Web for contact, without even a definitive superior."
"Blood God Temple... well, well, what a Blood God Temple, truly cautious enough! It seems pulling this Blood God Temple up by the roots won't be so easy..."
"Still, Xu Shengchuan, is it? You have some capability to trace your son's death back to me. It seems when I killed Xu Yiming back then and didn't completely cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, I was still a bit too merciful."
Hearing this monologue from Ning Wangshu, Iron Wolf's pupils instantly constricted with supreme shock!
He stared at Ning Wangshu in disbelief, crying out in alarm, "You... how do you know we're from the Blood God Temple, and even that Xu Shengchuan hired us to target you?"
At that, Ning Wangshu glanced at him and smiled faintly. "I said before, you know nothing about my methods! Whether you speak or not makes no difference to me."
"Next, it's your turn! Let me see if I can unearth some other information from your mind..."
Finishing his sentence, Ning Wangshu instantly appeared before Iron Wolf.
He used the Soul Searching Technique on him just the same...
Yet Ning Wangshu was unable to acquire any more useful information.
"Let's just send them on their way first. As for that Blood God Temple... it will be fine if they stop provoking me, but if they still dare to act recklessly and provoke me, I will definitely find a way to completely eradicate them no matter what!"
"As for that Xu Shengchuan, he actually dared to spend five hundred million to hire hitmen to kill me in order to avenge his son. Heh, I might as well send him to reunite with his son..."
Ning Wangshu sneered, a fierce glint flashing through his eyes.
The next moment, he glanced back at the Woman in Red and Iron Wolf, who had yet to recover from the Soul Searching Technique, and directly stretched out a hand to pinch the empty air!
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
In an instant, both of their bodies burst apart, transforming into plumes of blood mist.
Following that, with a flick of a finger, Ning Wangshu ignited a wisp of True Fire that landed within the two plumes of blood mist, instantly burning them to ashes without leaving the slightest trace behind!
Having finished this, Ning Wangshu used his Divine Sense to check on the situation with his sister.
Seeing that she had already reached the downstairs of her rental apartment, Ning Wangshu directly transmitted his voice to her. "Ruoxuan, once you get back inside, stay indoors for now and don't go anywhere. I'll be back in a moment!"
Hearing Ning Wangshu's voice out of nowhere, Ning Ruoxuan started and instinctively looked around, but failed to see his figure, leaving her rather stunned.
Seeing this, Ning Wangshu explained via Voice Transmission once more: "I'm using Voice Transmission to speak to you from a distance."
Hearing that, Ning Ruoxuan reacted and hurriedly answered, "Oh, oh, okay! Brother, I understand. I'll wait for you at home and go nowhere!"
"Mm!"
Ning Wangshu replied.
A moment later, after Ning Ruoxuan had safely returned to her apartment, Ning Wangshu rapidly formed several spell gestures in succession, directly casting a seal over the rental apartment from afar to prevent his sister from encountering any danger while he was away, ensuring absolute security.
Only then did he soar into the air, transforming into a stream of light as he headed straight for the Xu Family...
