Chapter 395: The Land of True Dragons, the Man of Destiny
Ning Changge followed Dan Yangzi through the narrow mountain path and cave. After walking about a hundred steps, the view in front of them suddenly opened up.
As far as the eye can see, there is a wide valley surrounded by mountains. Different from the ethereal and majestic Qingyun Immortal Gate that reaches into the sky, Yaowang Valley is more simple and full of vitality.
Ning Changge glanced over casually.
Most of the buildings in the valley are built with bluestone and sacred wood. They are simple and elegant. Although they are not as luxurious as palaces, they are well-arranged and blend into the surrounding environment.
The concentration of spiritual energy is acceptable, much richer than that of the outside world, but it is still far inferior to the spiritual energy on Qiongming Peak that is almost turning into substance.
Overall, it is considered a first-class sect with considerable heritage.
Danyangzi saw Ning Changge looking around and a slightly self-deprecating smile appeared on his face:
"Haha, Junior Brother Ning, please forgive me for making fun of you. My Medicine King Valley is located deep in the mountains and old forests. It can't compare to the grandeur of your Qingyun Immortal Sect. It's very simple."
Ning Changge heard this, retracted his gaze, smiled, and said:
"Master Alchemist, you are too modest. Qingyun Immortal Sect may be large, but if I were to say, your Medicine King Valley is more tranquil and peaceful. The valley is filled with the aroma of medicinal herbs and is full of vitality. You are indeed a famous medicine refining sect in the Nine Realms."
As an outstanding Chinese youth of the new era, Ning Changge naturally acquired the art of language.
These words were neither humble nor arrogant. They did not belittle Yaowang Valley, but also praised the other party's expertise. Danyangzi was happy to hear this, and the smile on his face became more sincere.
(Tsk tsk! This kid, at such a young age, not only has unfathomable strength, but his speaking skills... are much better than that old fellow Qing Yunzi!)
Behind the two of them followed a group of Medicine King Valley elders and disciples.
But at this moment, they could no longer hold back and began to whisper to each other, their eyes frequently looking at Ning Changge's back.
"Wow, he is Ning Changge? He is so handsome in person!"
"Not only is he handsome, but that red light just now! Is that teleportation?! How did he do that? Awesome!"
An elder lowered his voice and said solemnly: "That is teleportation that can only be mastered by those who have reached the Mahayana stage."
Ren Yu and Wang Jie beside him gasped after hearing this: "Hiss! No wonder the Valley Master changed his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book, Mahayana!"
Although they spoke in low voices, they could not escape the ears of Ning Changge and Dan Yangzi.
Dan Yangzi listened to the whispers behind him, and his smile grew wider, as if he was honored. He led Ning Changge to the main hall in the valley:
"Nephew, please come this way. Let's go to the main hall to discuss in detail."
Damn! A bunch of people who refine medicine can use their imaginations better than those who practice swordsmanship... Ning Changge's mouth twitched slightly, "Thank you, Master."
Entered the main hall.
Dan Yangzi invited Ning Changge to take a seat, then personally brewed a pot of tea, handed it to him and said with a smile: "Nephew Ning, there is no need to be so formal with your uncle. Just speak directly if you have anything to say."
Ning Changge took a sip of the tea and said:
"Master Dan, the Immortal Sect received your call for help saying that someone initiated a blood sacrifice, so the Sect Master sent me here to investigate the situation."
"But after nearly ten days of investigation, apart from the missing woman in Hong Town and the dozens of Cloud Cavalry soldiers who died in front of your valley, there seems to be no blood sacrifice?"
Dan Yangzi sighed and said, "I guessed what you want to ask, but the reason is quite complicated. I hope you can listen patiently, nephew."
Ning Changge nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Dan Yangzi said slowly: "It's like this... I sent people to investigate the disappearance of a woman in Hong Town a long time ago, but there was no clue. Later, more and more women disappeared, and I even went there in person, but there was no clue."
"However, I unexpectedly met the East Wilderness Branch Master of Tianji Pavilion, Xue Qing, in the town, so I planned to ask her for help, but Master Xue said that Tianji Pavilion does not participate in any forces."
At this point, Dan Yangzi also picked up the teacup and took a sip: "I didn't bother her much when I heard that, and was about to leave, but she suddenly said that although the Tianji Pavilion is neutral, she still doesn't want to see mortals suffer."
"He kindly reminded me that the person behind this woman's disappearance might be someone more complicated than me, and that I couldn't solve it alone, so he told me to seek help from Qingyun Immortal Sect."
Ning Changge thought for a moment and then asked, "Then why didn't you lie about a blood sacrifice and say someone was missing?"
Dan Yangzi coughed twice: "Ahem... I know that old fellow Qing Yunzi too well. If I say I'm missing, he will definitely take the opportunity to rip me off."
"It just so happened that Pavilion Master Xue said that in order to find the murderer behind the scenes as soon as possible, we could make it sound a little more serious when reporting to Qingyun Immortal Sect, so I... said blood sacrifice."
"..."
Ning Changge had nothing to say.
A sect leader who has reached the Tribulation Realm, just to avoid being slaughtered by his old friend, insisted on describing his disappearance as a blood sacrifice. I am so fucking impressed!
Looking at Ning Changge's speechless expression, Dan Yangzi's face turned red. It was embarrassing to be like this in front of the younger generation:
"Nephew, please don't think badly of me, your uncle. Qing Yunzi and I were good friends when we were young. I know him too well."
"This guy is very shrewd. If he tells the truth, I'm afraid that my Medicine King Valley will have to spend ten years refining pills for your Qingyun Immortal Sect in vain."
Thinking back to the several times that Shi Qingyi got angry, Qingyunzi would squat down with his head in his hands skillfully. Ning Changge really couldn't imagine that the old man was as "smart" as Danyangzi said.
But he didn't ask any more questions. The powerful man who had transcended the tribulation still gave him some face, so he asked another question:
"Master Dan, why did the Cloud Cavalry of the Xuanyuan Dynasty die in front of your valley? Also, I heard from two disciples in your valley that they were looking for someone. Who were they looking for?"
Danyangzi was not curious about why Ning Changge suddenly asked this. If he wanted to ask, he would answer him truthfully. Only a fool would not make friends with such a gifted child.
"It seems like they have offended someone they shouldn't have, and they plan to ask me for help. Alas! But the only thing I'm good at is making pills."
"Before I could ask them to hide in the valley, a giant golden palm fell from the sky, and many of my disciples were beaten to death. We were so scared that we didn't dare to leave the valley for ten days."
"Golden giant palm?" Ning Changge was slightly stunned, "A person from the Buddhist sect?"
Dan Yangzi shook his head and said, "Not really. Although the golden giant palm was shining with Buddha's light, it was filled with black air. I'm afraid it was someone extremely evil. I once suspected that he was the murderer behind the missing woman."
Buddha's light, black air, I'm afraid it's not really the evil god Shenshu, but why would he kill people from the Xuanyuan Dynasty?
Ning Changge inexplicably thought of someone in his mind.
"As for who they are looking for, after hundreds of years of asking in roundabout ways, I finally got the information out of them."
Dan Yangzi continued, "They are following the order of the Empress Xuanyuan Feixiao to find someone who can truly change the situation in the Southern Dark Territory."
Ning Changge frowned, "Uncle Master, can you be more specific?"
Danyangzi pondered for a moment, "Hmm...it seems to be related to the last imperial teacher of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, Wei Juzheng's words before his death."
Ning Changge was shocked: "Wei Juzheng!?"
Dan Yangzi was somewhat surprised by Ning Changge's reaction: "Nephew?"
Ning Changge lied: "I have read about this man's deeds in the ancient books of the Immortal Sect, and I admire him very much."
Danyangzi stroked his gray beard and sighed, "Indeed, I admire him a lot. He even gave up his life for the Xuanyuan Dynasty."
"You know, he was the person who had the greatest chance of becoming an immortal at that time."
Ning Changge suppressed his shock and asked, "What were his last words?"
Dan Yangzi replied, "Those Cloud Cavalry know very little. They say that the place where the true dragon was born will be the place where the legendary man of destiny will appear."
"He will change the conflict between the Xuanyuan Dynasty and Southern Xinjiang that has existed since ancient times. In fact, he is the one who truly has the ability to change the entire Nine Regions."
After saying this, Dan Yangzi took another sip of tea and said with a smile:
"Do you think these people have lost their minds due to fighting every year? Where can they find real dragons? There are only a few dragons with mixed bloodlines in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range at most."
"The only one that could fight a dragon was the giant wild dragon. It's a pity that it was taken away by you, my nephew, with one sword."
"Yeah yeah."
Ning Changge smiled in agreement, but no one knew that his heart was restless for a long time at this moment.
