Chapter 0952: The Bei Clan
Bei Bai, who didnât even put Ning Cheng in his eyes earlier, now could even dare to move at all under Ning Chengâs suppression. He felt that just Ning Chengâs killing intent could immediately tear him into pieces as soon as he moved.
âWhat do you wantâŚâŚâ Bei Bai spoke in a frightened and trembling voice; the weakness he felt showed through.
Ning Cheng suddenly took a step forward, reached out and squeezed Bei Baiâs neck. Then, picking him off the ground, he said, âDid you forget what I asked already?â
Only then did he remember what Ning Cheng had asked and replied with trepidation. âIt was from a male cultivator called Wu Qihong and a female cultivator named Xin Xiu who sold it to us.â
Ning Cheng gave a cold laugh and squeezed his hand slightly. His killing intent had fully locked Bei Bai in place. âWhere are those two? If you say you donât know, you can reincarnate; Iâll even help you with it.â
Ning Cheng didnât believe anything Bei Bai said. Xin Xiu and Wu Qihong were long-time rogue cultivators. If they didnât even have this much intelligence and directly put up the Empyrean Consciousness Pills for sale with their real names, the two would have died a long time ago. How could they have even reached the Eternal Realm otherwise?
As for Bei Baiâs lies, Ning Cheng didnât even bother to reveal them and directly threatened to kill and destroy him.
âIâm Bei ClanâsâŚ.â
Before Bei Bai could even finish his sentence, an arrow of blood spurted out from his mouth. Ning Cheng had shattered two of his meridians.
âI said, theyâre in my Bei ClanâŚ.â Bei Bai no longer dared to use his Bei Clan to threaten Ning Cheng and revealed Xin Xiu and Wu Qihongâs whereabouts.\nNing Chengâs thoughts churned in an instant. Regardless of how Xin Xiu and Wu Qihong ended up with the Bei Clan, the fact that Bei Clan didnât kill them until now indicated an undeniable intent.
At best, Wu Qihong and Xin Xiu were ordinary Eternal cultivators. Such cultivation made them essentially useless to the clans here. However, they did have one use; that is, these two were Ji Heâs junior apprentice brother and sister. They had received Empyrean Consciousness Transmutation Pills from Ji He. Since Bei Clan kept Xin Xiu and Wu Qihong, it only meant one thing. They wanted Ji He to come to their door and deliver the pills in exchange for them.
Taking a step back, even if Ji He didnât come, the Bei Clan wouldnât lose anything. It wouldnât make a difference to anyone whether they imprisoned two rogue cultivators. No one would even care if they lived or died.
âHow dare you. A mere Tier 8 Pill Emperor dares to make a move in the Hundred Herb TowerâŚ..â A stern rebuke emerged, and a harsh killing intent came crashing down on Ning Cheng.
This fellow didnât even wait for Ning Cheng to make a move, and a majestic momentum raged through space. Suddenly another magnificent momentum emerged out of nowhere. When the two forces collided, it immediately caused a colossal spirit essence explosion that shook the hall.
If it werenât for the fact that the Hundred Herb Tower had powerful protective formations and restrictions, this exchange would have immediately turned the tower into dust.
A powerful spiritual consciousness suddenly swept out with an icy voice. âIf you dare make a move in the Hundred Herb Building again, I will obliterate both of you.â
As the powerful spiritual consciousness swept over, Ning Chengâs grip on Bei Bai loosened, and Bei Bai fell to the ground.\nEveryone within the tower turned quiet. Facing the spiritual consciousness of a Dao Fusion expert, who would dare to move? Although the Hundred Herb Tower didnât belong to anyone anymore, this place still had its own experts guarding it.
âBrother Jian, whatâs the meaning of this?â The one who had just attacked Ning Cheng was a Dao Raising Holy Emperor. When he saw that the one who stopped him was Jian Sanshan, his expressions turned a little ugly. He had initially noticed that Ning Chengâs cultivation level wasnât as good as him. So he wanted to help out Bei Bai and give the Bei Clan a good impression. Itâs just that he never expected Jian Sanshan to block him.
Donât look at the fact that Bei Bai came from the Bei Clan. Jian Sanshanâs reputation was at the same level as Bei Clan, perhaps even higher. People knew of Bei Clan, not because of its strength but because it had a Dao Transformation Pill Deity. It opened up a few channels to get precious spirit grasses and pills.
Jian Sanshan, on the other hand, was also a Dao Transformation Pill Deity. However, more importantly, he was the only Dao Transformation Pill Deity who could refine the Harmonious Heavenly Pill.
Jian Sanshan stood beside Ning Cheng and spoke with a calm tone, âNing Cheng is my friend. So if you make a move against him, itâs the same as making a move against me.â
Ning Cheng only nodded to Jian Sanshan before turning to Bei Bai lying on the ground and said in a cold voice, âLead the way.â
âAhâŚ.â Despite being saved by a hidden Dao Fusion powerhouse, Bei Bai still had an innate fear of Ning Cheng.
Ning Chengâs cold glare intensified. âLead the way to your Bei Clan. Doesnât your Bei Clan want the Empyrean Consciousness Transmutation Pill? It just so happens that I have a few of them.â\nThis time, Bei Bai heard the words clearly. He immediately felt a burst of joy rip through his heart. This fellow thought that restraining him would sweep away his Bei Clan. Now that this fellow wanted to look for death, what else did he have to hesitate about?
Thinking of this, Bei Bai quickly stood up and started moving without even saying a word. Fortunately, this fellow had only shattered two of his meridians, not all of them. So, although it caused his strength to regress, it didnât affect his movements.
Ning Cheng immediately followed. Itâs not that he never thought that the Bei Clan might have a Dao Essence expert. But Ning Cheng believed that even if they had a Dao Essence expert, he could still escape without much effort.
Besides, a clan like the Bei Clan had almost no chance of having a Dao Essence expert. Just take the Barbarian Dragon Clan as an example. Apart from a rumoured Dao Perfection powerhouse, the highest cultivation level among its members was only Dao Essence.
âBrother Ning, Iâll come with you.â Jian Sanshan decided to tag along with Ning Cheng.
Seeing Ning Chengâs puzzled expression, Jian Sanshan showed a faint smile. âThe Bei Clan only has one Dao Transformation Holy Emperor. So itâs not even considered a mid-sized clan. The reason why they are somewhat famous is that they also have a Dao Transformation Pill Deity.â
As soon as Ning Cheng heard Jian Sanshanâs words, he understood a few things. First, Jian Sanshan wasnât necessarily coming to help him deal with the Bei Clan. Instead, it was because of Bei Clanâs Dao Transformation Pill Deity. A Dao Transformation Pill Deity had the connections to call in many experts for help. But with Jian Sanshan, another Dao Transformation Pill Deity, next to him, there would be far fewer of those responding to the other Dao Transformation Pill Deityâs call for help.\nIt was just like the Dao Raising Holy Emperor who had attacked Ning Cheng at the Hundred Herb Tower to curry favour with the Bei Clan. But seeing Jian Sanshan step forward to help, this Dao Raising Holy Emperor had immediately left without a single word of bullshit.
âThen, many thanks, Brother Jian.â Ning Cheng clasped his fists and thanked him. Since this Bei Clan only had a Dao Transformation Holy Emperor, he didnât have to fear them at all. If worse came to worse, he could use the Five-coloured Star Splitting Arrow to finish this Dao Transformation Holy Emperor. As for the rest of them, the Bridge of Coping would be more than enough.
Feeling Jian Sanshanâs good intentions, Ning Cheng also didnât refuse his involvement.
Engraved Wood Creekâs Bei Clan, ten million miles away from Heaven Essence Sacred City.
An ordinary person would find it impossible to cover such a distance in their lifetime. But for Holy Emperors, travelling ten million miles was nothing more than walking to their backyard. It wouldnât take long at all.
There were no telling how many clans like the Bei Clan existed in the Grand Essence Domain. But the main reason why people considered the Bei Clan as above the rest of the similarly-sized families was their three pill deities. Moreover, the most accomplished one among them had even become a Dao Transformation Pill Deity.
A Dao Transformation Pill Deity was an existence that even the ten major forces would want to recruit.
At this moment, the Bei Clan was in the midst of celebrations. Their clanâs Dao Transformation Pill Deity, Bei Laili, had just received an invitation to come to the Heaven Essence Sacred City for the Alchemy Discourse. Plus, Bei Laili had also made a breakthrough in his research on the Empyrean Consciousness Transmutation Pillâs recipe.\nThe head of the clan, Bei Qianhai, and a group of elders from Bei Clan were still congratulating Bei Laili on the successful breakthrough. They were even preparing to send people to serve Bai Leili in Heaven Essence Sacred City.
Bei Qianhai had a white and beardless face, and just like Bei Bai, his eyes were long and thin. Most likely, it was because of the Bei Clanâs cultivation method. Plus, there was also an invisible but hostile aura around him.
Just at this moment, a panicked figure rushed in.
When Bei Qianhai saw this panicked figure, he frowned slightly, and his face sank. His Bei Clan wanted to rush towards the ranks of the great clans of the Grand Essence Domain, which meant that there had to be established rules for things. Running into Bei Clanâs family hall in such a panic would cause the Bei Clan to never step onto that stage.
âDeacon MengâŚ..â A Dao Raising Holy Emperor sitting beside Bei Qianhai took the initiative to settle this matter without waiting for the clan head to speak.
The deacon who rushed in didnât wait for this person to continue before speaking up in more panic. âI just received news from Heaven Essence Sacred City that Young Lord Bai had his meridians scrapped.â
âWhat?â Anger erupted on Bei Qianhaiâs face, and he suddenly stood up.
Regardless of their ambitions, Bei Clan was a decently reputable pill clan; how could someone dare scrap Bei Baiâs meridians? Bei Bai was his ânephewâ to the public, but only he knew that Bei Bai was his son. So how could he, Bei Qianhai, put up with someone scraping his sonâs meridians?
âElder brother, my Bei Clan has a good reputation in the Grand Essence Domain. Since this person dares to scrap Young Lord Baiâs meridians, he must have an unusual backgroundâŚ..â A black-faced man spoke up in a grave voice.\nThe black-faced man didnât need to remind him. Bei Qianhai had also realised it and calmed down. His sonâs meridians had been ruined, so he would definitely take revenge. However, before taking revenge, he had to find out the other partyâs origins.
âGo and find out who that bastard is?â Bei Qianhaiâs cold, stern voice seeped out of his clenched jaw.
But before Deacon Meng could answer, the people in the hall heard a series of clicks as someone opened the forbidden restrictions outside the entrance. The next instant, a voice filled with chill emerged, âNo need to check, Iâm coming in.â
Xin Xiu and Wu Qihong had suffered because of their connection to him. As such, Ning Cheng wouldnât remain polite when he came to this Bei Clan. His Spiritual Consciousness Chop had already shattered Bei Clanâs forbidden restrictions and defensive formations. In fact, before the Bei Clan could even sense Ning Chengâs arrival, Ning Cheng had already noticed the Bei Clanâs movements.
This was how powerful a spiritual consciousness attack would be when combined with the Dao of Arrays.
Once Ning Chengâs voice emerged, all the people in the hall clearly saw the people walking in.
There were, in total, three people. Ning Cheng had walked in with Bei Baiâs neck still in his hand, and surprisingly, also carried a woman on his back. The corners of Bei Baiâs mouth also overflowed with blood, and both his breath and aura felt chaotic. It was apparent that the news of his meridians being scrapped wasnât a lie. A moment later, Jian Sanshan walked in and stood next to Ning Cheng without any expressions.
âJian Sanshan? What do you mean by this? My Bei Clan has nothing to do with you; how dare youâŚ..â The first person Bei Qianhai recognised was naturally not Ning Cheng, but Jian Sanshan standing beside Ning Cheng.\nJian Sanshan showed a faint smile, âClan Master Bei, you may have made a mistake here; Iâm not involved in it and just passing by. By the way, let me introduce Clan Master Bei to this person. This is Ning Cheng.â
Hearing Jian Sanshanâs words, Bei Qianhaiâs cold and stern gaze again fell on Ning Cheng. Even if this Ning Cheng had Jian Sanshan as his backing, so what? His Bei Clan didnât fear a Jian Sanshan.
âCan you tell me what my Bei Clan had done to offend this friend? Why was this friend so ruthless to even scrap Bei Baiâs meridians?â Bei Qianhai calmed down and even spoke in a relatively respectful tone as if the person in Ning Chengâs hand wasnât Bei Bai.
Before learning Ning Chengâs identity, he didnât want to make any rash moves.\n
