After three minutes, Ningning’s body gradually recovered its temperature, and she opened her eyes after waking up.
She was stunned for a moment and pushed away Yang Dingtian’s hand. In shock, she asked,
Little Tian, what are you doing? How can you give me your blood?
Thank God, I finally managed to save you.
Yang Dingtian gave Ningning a tight hug out of excitement.
After being hugged for some time, Ningning slowly broke free and took out medicine from her sleeves. She applied it to Yang Dingtian’s wrist gently.
The wound on Yang Dingtian’s wrist instantly knit closed, and the blood stopped flowing. Then, Ningning took out the fifth-rank Full Restoration Pill from Yang Dingtian’s sleeves and fed it to him.
Yang Dingtian felt a flush of heat, and the internal injuries caused by the enemies gradually disappeared.
Is it still painful? Is there anywhere else that is uncomfortable?
Although Ningning was still very weak, she looked at Yang Dingtian worriedly and asked.
Yang Dingtian shook his head.
I was scared to death just now. What happened? When did they come?
Ningning said,
About two hours after you entered the abandoned ore mine, they came. You know that I can cultivate my Xuan energy extremely fast, almost faster than anyone, but my Xuan energy has no attack power. But, I’ve learned a type of mental Xuan technique that can freeze my opponents so that they can’t move.
Yang Dingtian was shocked. This type of Xuan technique was extremely powerful. Before Yang Dingtian arrived, Ximen Ningning was fighting against four people and managed to freeze them for a few hours.
I had frozen them for around six hours. When you arrived, I had already almost used up all of my Xuan energy,
Ningning said.
If you had arrived a little later, I would have died by their hands. But I asked you to escape. Why didn’t you escape? Each and every one of them is many times stronger than you.
You were in danger. How can I possibly run away? I will never run even if I die,
Yang Dingtian said.
How are you feeling now?
The cold poison has been neutralized. Only some internal injuries remain. I’ll be better after taking the Full Restoration Pill,
Ningning said:
Your blood is really powerful. It immediately seized control and neutralized the poison in my body. However, if I had not used up all of my Xuan energy, this cold poison wouldn’t have been harmful to me.
Yang Dingtian asked,
Sister Ningning, do you think that Qin Shaobai had discovered our true identities and sent people to hunt us down?
No,
Ningning said.
If he had discovered our identities, he wouldn’t have sent only four people like these but much stronger killers. He simply sent a few people to kill us because Qin Hongmian was his prey and was dumped by him after he got bored. He doesn’t allow the women that he dumped to be with others. As we were together today, he thought that Qin Hongmian had a new lover. He sent people to kill us just to satisfy his possessive sickness.
Such a person is really crazy and mad,
Yang Dingtian said. His arrival at Cloud Sky City would definitely lead to a huge disaster.
Ningning said,
Which is why, Little Tian, you must become stronger and not let Cloud Sky City fall into the hands of such a bastard. Okay, let’s not discuss this disgusting person. Little Tian, what happened to you in the mine cave? Why did you come out so late, causing me to worry? The four of them were surrounding me. At that time, I wanted you to come out but also didn’t want you to come.
A lot of things happened in the mine cave….
Yang Dingtian immediately told her everything that happened, including the Bloody Black Gold mine, the lord of the abyss, Zhao Wuji’s death, and the Fiery Earth Dragon that he encountered towards the end.
There really is ten-thousand-year-old Bloody Black Gold? That is the supreme treasure of heaven and earth,
Ningning said in shock. Then, she looked at Yang Dingtian and asked,
But, why did you tell me this secret? You should know that ten-thousand-year-old Bloody Black Gold is something that the world will go crazy for. No matter which Sect, they will want to possess it. You shouldn’t have told me.
Yang Dingtian looked at her.
If I couldn’t even trust the closest person to me, then even if it’s the supreme treasure of heaven and earth, what would it mean?
Ningning blushed, and her expression instantly turned gentle and soft.
Then, the two of them remained silent in the mysterious atmosphere.
A few minutes later, Yang Dingtian broke the silence.
Sister Ningning, do you think what Zhao Wuji said was true? Could there really be an owl sealed in the dungeon beneath Horror Mountain Village?
I don’t know.
Ningning shook her head and said,
No one has ever heard about a Millennium Owl in Horror Mountain Village. But, those who managed to capture this Millennium Owl would not utter a word about it as people would fight for it. The Millennium Owl that was sealed can be used to forge a superior demonic beast soul weapon.
Ximen Ningning continued,
But, I did hear that three hundred years ago, many masters of the Zhao family passed away. Also, their castle used to be located on the far south, at an extremely comfortable and exclusive area. Three hundred years ago, they moved to Black Fire Mountain and built the Horror Mountain Village there. The environment there was horrible, and many couldn’t understand the reason behind such actions. But, if it was to seal a Millennium Owl, then it makes sense.
Listening to Ningning, Yang Dingtian felt that there really might be a Millennium Owl in Horror Mountain Village after all.
Sister Ningning, how much do you know about Horror Mountain Village?
Yang Dingtian asked.
Ningning thought for a while and said,
Over twenty years ago, Horror Mountain Village had very powerful forces with over three hundred Li of territory. They had thousands of warriors and had even fought Cloud Sky City before. The village head, Zhao Zhenyang was only one step away from becoming a Guru, and his eldest son, Zhao Wujin, was an even more talented martial artist and had the possibility of becoming a Master before the age of 45. The Northwest Qin family was afraid that Horror Mountain Village would threaten the position of the Qin family under the reign of Zhao Wujin. Therefore, they supported the ambitious Zhao Wuji. They killed both Zhao Zhenyang and Zhao Wujin and let Zhao Wuji become the village head of Horror Mountain Village. After Zhao Wuji became the village head, his brother, cousins, and even uncles were dissatisfied. Zhao Wuji used the help of the Northwest Qin family to kill all who opposed him. That was how Zhao Wuji managed to maintain his position, but because of this, their forces were weakened. Their faction deteriorated from a top power to a small one and became a vassal of the Northwest Qin Family.
Yang Dingtian asked,
What about Zhao Wuji’s son?
Ximen Ningning said,
He is called Zhao Mu and was extremely talented in martial arts, even surpassing his father, but he had a fatal attraction towards women. Four years ago, he met an extremely beautiful woman when he was traveling and had tried to tease her. Eventually, he was injured by a strike from that woman, causing his Yang energy to dissipate and all of his cultivation to be ruined. He became a useless person. Do you know who that woman is?
Seeing Ningning’s slightly narrow-minded gaze, Yang Dingtian’s heart moved, but he shook his head and said no.
It is your fiancée, Dongfang Bingling.
Ximen Ningning laughed.
Dongfang Bingling?
Yang Dingtian was surprised, not expecting that this was also related to his fiancée.
Ningning smiled.
Your fiancée was really an overbearing person. After turning the young master of Horror Mountain Village into a useless person, the Qin family’s head even had to bring Zhao Wuji to Vast Immeasurable Mountain and apologize to her. Zhao Wuji had to kneel down in front of the Yin Yang Sect’s gate for three days and three nights.
Yang Dingtian sighed once again. Although he had felt the supremacy of the Yin Yang Sect, he had not personally gone experienced it before. But after coming to the Western Continent, he truly felt the domineering power of the Northwest Qin family. Even so, such a powerful group had to be so respectful towards the Yin Yang Sect. This showed the Yin Yang Sect’s incredibly high status.
Four years ago, Dongfang Bingling was only sixteen years old but was already capable of turning Zhao Mu into a useless person with just one strike. Then, at what stage was Zhao Mu’s cultivation at the time?
Yang Dingtian asked.
Ximen Ningning answered,
Similar to Ximen Yan’s.
Yang Dingtian let out a cold breath. Dongfang Bingling was already so strong four years ago. Then, how powerful will she be in five years?
Now you know how strong your fiancé is?
Ximen Ningning laughed.
She was recognized as the most talented person in four hundred years and was the one with the highest chance of becoming a martial saint.
However, to worry about Dongfang Bingling now was too early, and the most important matter now was getting the electric demon nucleus. Even if there was a Millennium Owl in Horror Mountain Village, the beast was too powerful. In addition, even if Horror Mountain Village was considered a third-rate force, it was still like a tiger’s den for Yang Dingtian.
Sister Ningning, apart from Horror Mountain Village, is there anywhere else that would have an electric-type beast?
Yang Dingtian asked.
Ximen Ningning shook her head.
Electric-type beasts are too rare, and I am familiar with all beasts within thousands of Li, but I have no idea if there is any electric-type beast. The area with the highest probability of having an electric-type beast would be the deep sea over ten thousand Li away. However, that place can only be explored by top elites, and it is many times more dangerous than Horror Mountain Village.
If that’s the case, we must risk going to Horror Mountain Village if we want to get the electric demon nucleus?
Yang Dingtian asked.
Ningning frown.
Little Tian, must you obtain the electric demon nucleus?
I must get it, and within four days. Otherwise, I will be banished from Cloud Sky City in five days,
Yang Dingtian said.
Ningning said,
But even if what Zhao Wuji said was the truth, it will be difficult for us to obtain its demon nucleus. Not to mention that Horror Mountain Village by itself is already a scary place. How could they possibly hand over the Millennium Owl to us? Even if they did pass it to us, it is still a Millennium Owl. Even Master-level elites won’t be able to kill it.
Surely, it looked like an impossible mission.
Of course, I am only sharing my thoughts. The final decision still lies with you,
Ningning said gently.
No matter what decision you make, sister will always support you. No matter how dangerous it is, sister will accompany you.
Yang Dingtian was moved by her warmth.
Sister Ningning, what is Horror Mountain Village’s attitude towards the Qin family?
Respect and fear,
Ximen Ningning said.
The Horror Mountain Village of today is nothing more than a vassal working for the Northwest Qin family. Although Qin Hongmian was merely a distant relative of the family, Horror Mountain Village still won’t dare to offend him.
Yang Dingtian closed his eyes and thought for a long time. Then, he finally opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and said,
Let’s go to Horror Mountain Village. Even if it is a tiger’s den, I must go!
