Cultivation and the Victory Banquet!

Celestial City.

As the sun set, darkness swiftly swallowed the sky.

At that moment,

Jiang Ning suddenly stopped what he was doing and listened.

"So the Marquis is back!"

A smile appeared on his face.

After parting with Zhou Sheng that day, he had returned alone to the marquis's residence in Celestial City.

With matters at Profound Finger Mountain winding down, he had no further part to play.

So he had chosen to return to Celestial City and cultivate alone at the residence.

He had not gone back to Dongling City because Zhou Sheng had asked him to stay.

The surprise attack had destroyed Profound Finger Mountain. Though Yun Shanhe, a titled second-rank grandmaster, had escaped, it was still a great achievement.

Jiang Ning ranked third in contributions, so the Victory Banquet could not go ahead without him.

He felt helpless about Zhou Sheng's request, but agreed to attend.

After all, he could hardly refuse Zhou Sheng.

Besides, Zhou Sheng had not taken credit for Jiang Ning's deeds and had even prepared that brocade outfit worth a thousand gold for him in advance.

Its tribute fabric could only be obtained through members of the imperial family or their relatives.

How could he slight Zhou Sheng after that?

Once he realized Zhou Sheng's return had caused the commotion, he settled his mind again.

Phew—

He let out a long breath,

then resumed the movements of the Indestructible Vajra Body.

Within a few breaths,

he felt every inch of flesh beneath his skin burn, as though billions of ants were crawling beneath it.

Beads of sweat gathered on his muscular torso and rolled down.
