“What does he intend to do, sneaking into the Great Wilderness Mountain Range? It definitely isn’t anything good!”
Ning Chuan thought to himself.
He didn’t get too close, following Li Yunfei from a short distance, because the two powerful middle-aged men behind Li Yunfei were both at the Spirit Sea Realm.
One was at Spirit Sea Realm Two, and the other at Spirit Sea Realm Three!
Getting too close would make him easily discovered.
At the same time, the voices of Li Yunfei and the two middle-aged men reached Ning Chuan’s ears.
“Young Master, the Purple Spirit Spring should be in the mountain peak ahead!”
A guard took out an ancient parchment map, looked at the surrounding terrain, and said to Li Yunfei.
“Hahaha… excellent! Once I find the Purple Spirit Spring, I will surely be able to use the Purple Haze Spirit Qi within it to open up my Spirit Sea in one go, break through to the Spirit Sea Realm, and then all of you will be heavily rewarded!”
Li Yunfei said with extreme excitement.
“Thank you, Young Master!”
The two guards both said with smiles.
“As long as I enter the Spirit Sea Realm, in the Spirit-Snatching Battle a few days later, my Li Family will surely be able to crush the Shen Family and seize that Spirit Stone Mine! At that time, I will definitely kill that good-for-nothing Ning Chuan and snatch Shen Qianxun!”
A cold killing intent flashed in Li Yunfei’s eyes, and he said in a chilling voice.
“Young Master’s talent is extraordinary; killing a good-for-nothing son-in-law is simply effortless! It’s even possible for him to become a disciple of Xuanwu Academy, just like the Young Master!”
The two guards both said with flattering smiles.
“That is natural! But it’s a pity that those idiots, Li Cheng and the others, didn’t beat Ning Chuan to death that day in the Brothel, and instead let him ruin my plans! This time, I will personally take action and deal with that good-for-nothing Ning Chuan!”
Li Yunfei sneered.
He had already secretly arranged everything; as long as Ning Chuan caused City Lord Zhao’s granddaughter’s death, Ning Chuan would surely die, without him even needing to lift a finger.
“Purple Spirit Spring? I didn’t expect this Li Yunfei to discover such a treasure land, truly a gift from heaven for me!
And Ning Chuan’s death is indeed related to you; you certainly have a good plan! You want to kill me, and coincidentally, I also want to kill you!”
Ning Chuan’s eyes brightened in the distance, and he thought to himself.
He had long felt that there was something wrong with the previous incident in the Brothel, where he and Li Cheng and several other collateral members of the Li Family fought over a woman and were eventually beaten severely. It turned out that Li Yunfei was indeed behind it.
In fact, the original owner had already been beaten to death, otherwise Ning Chuan wouldn’t have been able to transmigrate.
This Li Yunfei truly had a malicious heart and deserved to die!
As for the Purple Spirit Spring, it was a natural treasure land, containing Purple Haze Spirit Qi, which was incredibly pure and could help people broaden their Dantian and open up a powerful Spirit Sea, making it extremely rare.
Ning Chuan hadn’t expected Li Yunfei to discover a treasure land like the Purple Spirit Spring.
Ning Chuan suppressed the killing intent in his heart and followed Li Yunfei, not too far nor too close, until they arrived in a valley.
This was the periphery of the Great Wilderness Mountain Range, where no powerful demonic beasts roamed. Coupled with Li Yunfei and the others' restrained aura and extreme caution, they arrived at their destination without much trouble.
The valley was very quiet and secluded, yet it held another world within, with blooming flowers and flowing waterfalls, looking incredibly beautiful.
“Young Master, the Purple Spirit Spring is in the cave behind this waterfall!”
The guard looked at the map in his hand and said with extreme excitement.
“Very good! You two will guard me here. I will go search for the Purple Spirit Spring. Do not let anyone disturb my cultivation, understand?”
A look of anticipation appeared in Li Yunfei’s eyes as he spoke to the two guards.
“Yes!”
The two men respectfully nodded.
Swish!
Li Yunfei used a lightness technique, tapped his foot, and directly soared several zhang, rushing into the huge waterfall and disappearing from sight.
“Is the Purple Spirit Spring right here?”
Ning Chuan watched Li Yunfei disappear behind the waterfall from behind a large boulder at the entrance of the valley.
He couldn’t help but feel a stir in his heart.
To find the Purple Spirit Spring, it seemed he had to deal with these two guards first.
Generally speaking, martial artists who entered the Spirit Sea Realm possessed tens of thousands of jin of divine power, but typically, those below Spirit Sea Realm Three would not exceed one hundred thousand jin.
With the combat power Ning Chuan could currently unleash, dealing with these two Spirit Sea Realm guards should not be a problem.
“Perfect, I’ll use them to test my current combat power!”
A sharp glint flashed in Ning Chuan’s eyes, revealing a powerful fighting intent.
He executed the Swimming Dragon Movement Technique, like a flash of lightning, soaring into the valley. His vital blood surged, as if thunder rumbled around him. With a sudden burst of startling thunder, a fierce palm print directly struck towards the two guards.
“Who is it?! You’re courting death!”
The two guards’ expressions changed dramatically.
They were guarding Li Yunfei here, yet they hadn’t expected someone to suddenly launch a sneak attack on them.
Caught off guard, they quickly mobilized the spiritual energy within their bodies, pushing their arms out horizontally to meet Ning Chuan.
Ning Chuan’s palm strike was aimed directly at the strongest guard, the Spirit Sea Realm Three, intending to deal with him first.
Bang!
The incomparably fierce palm print directly struck the guard’s arms, tearing through the spiritual energy barrier on his arms like a destructive force, directly breaking his arms. Then, its momentum undiminished, it struck directly onto his chest!
“Pfft…”
The Spirit Sea Realm Three guard spewed a mouthful of fresh blood, his chest caved in, and he was sent flying horizontally, crashing heavily against the nearby mountain wall.
It looked like he was breathing out more than in.
Feeling the sound of rushing air, Ning Chuan didn’t hesitate at all. He used the Swimming Dragon Movement Technique, transforming his figure like a long snake, instantly dodging the other guard’s attack and flying away.
“Who exactly are you?! How dare you kill someone from my Li Family, no one can protect you!”
The other guard was both shocked and enraged, his eyes filled with icy killing intent.
Especially when he saw that Ning Chuan was only at Meridian Opening Stage Nine, he felt even more incredulous.
Meridian Opening Stage Nine, when did he possess such terrifying divine power, capable of severely injuring a Spirit Sea Realm Three martial artist with a single blow?
“Kill!”
Ning Chuan roared, his gaze cold, with no intention of wasting words with him. His vital blood surged, and he unleashed another startling thunder strike!
It had to be said that the Great Wind Thunder Palm was incomparably fierce and best suited for close-quarters combat. This feeling of immense power made Ning Chuan’s blood boil, and his fighting intent soared to its peak.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The other guard, who was only at Spirit Sea Realm Two, barely managed to exchange a few palm strikes with Ning Chuan. He didn’t even have time to draw the long saber on his back before Ning Chuan struck him on the back of his head with a palm.
Crack!
The palm force of the Great Wind Thunder Palm penetrated his bones, shattering his brain. He immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and fell to the ground, dead!
“Young Master will not let you off!”
The Spirit Sea Realm Three guard stared fixedly at Ning Chuan, roared, and then his arms fell limp, his life force completely extinguished.
Two Spirit Sea Realm martial artists were thus directly killed by Ning Chuan!
“Spirit Sea Realm martial artists are indeed extraordinary!”
Shaking his slightly numb arm, Ning Chuan let out a sigh of relief.
Although it seemed he had killed two Spirit Sea Realm martial artists in a few moves, the Great Wind Thunder Palm consumed a lot of vital blood, and Ning Chuan’s vital blood was largely depleted.
Moreover, Spirit Sea Realm martial artists had opened their Spirit Sea and could mobilize the power of spiritual energy. Although Ning Chuan had forcibly killed them with his unparalleled divine power, his arm also felt incredibly sore and numb.
Strands of spiritual energy, like steel needles, made Ning Chuan’s palm turn red.
“With my current cultivation, martial artists below Spirit Sea Realm Three can all be killed! But for martial artists above Spirit Sea Realm Three, I’m afraid I’m not their match!”
Ning Chuan thought to himself, gaining a certain understanding of his own strength.
Although it was his first time killing someone, Ning Chuan didn’t feel the slightest discomfort. Instead, he felt a sense of exhilaration.
This kind of close-quarters, life-and-death combat, where every punch connected, made his blood boil, as if the fighting bloodline within him had awakened.
“Next up, it’s Li Yunfei!”
A cold glint flashed in Ning Chuan’s eyes. He executed the Swimming Dragon Movement Technique and soared towards the huge waterfall!
He had no regrets or softheartedness.
Those who kill will be killed!
Li Yunfei had tried to harm him multiple times, wanted his life, and coveted Shen Qianxun. Ning Chuan also wanted to eliminate future troubles.
Behind the waterfall was a cave.
Ning Chuan cautiously entered the cave, walked for dozens of zhang, and then his vision suddenly opened up.
This was a huge underground cavern, with a Purple Spirit Spring at its center, enveloped in purple mist, and a purple lotus vaguely floating within it.
All around were strangely shaped stalactites.
At this moment, Li Yunfei had already jumped into the Purple Spirit Spring and was absorbing the pure Purple Haze Spirit Qi within it to cultivate.
As if sensing someone’s arrival, Li Yunfei suddenly opened his eyes.
When he saw Ning Chuan before him, he immediately showed a shocked and incredulous expression: “Ning Chuan, why are you here?!”
At the same time, he also felt that something was wrong. His two guards were guarding him in the valley, so how could Ning Chuan have gotten in here?
Could it be that people from the Shen Family had found this place?
His heart sank involuntarily.
“Li Yunfei, I didn’t expect you to find a treasure land like the Purple Spirit Spring! To thank you, I’ve decided to let you be buried here. How does that sound?”
Ning Chuan said with a smile.
“Ning Chuan, you’re courting death!”
Li Yunfei’s eyes were filled with chilling killing intent. He suddenly stomped his foot, rushed out of the Purple Spirit Spring, and threw a punch, striking towards Ning Chuan!
