Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 1319 - 589: Passing Off Fish Eyes as Pearls

Ning Qi acknowledged with a nod and continued, "You’d better hold tight."

"Okay."

Xu Qingqiu nodded repeatedly as her illusory figure suddenly disappeared.

She was clearly going to report the situation to her mentor.

"Master, this matter is so serious, what are we doing here these two days?"

"Are we just responsible for continuously guarding them here?"

Yao Ling waited until Ning Qi put away the Jade Pendant, then thought of something: "This can’t continue like this, right?"

"It’s quite simple."

Ning Qi smiled and then continued, "We should just go to the Demon Race’s lair."

"Huh? Master, wouldn’t that be too dangerous?"

Yao Ling frowned upon hearing this.

This was indeed very dangerous for them.

Previously, when they encountered people from the Demon Race outside, they successfully deceived them.

But that was outside, not inside the Demon Race’s lair.

This made it relatively safe, but if they went to their lair, it might not be so.

If they were discovered, they wouldn’t even have a chance to escape.

Going into someone else’s den is like entering their domain; at least a few experts would be stationed there.

If they wanted to cause damage, they would have to think twice.

"It’s alright, don’t forget, I’m also half a Demon Race person."

Ning Qi glanced at Yao Ling and then turned his gaze forward: "We discovered them from this direction before, so let’s go this way and try our luck."

"Alright."

Yao Ling, though reluctant, could only agree.

"Let’s go!"

After choosing a direction, Ning Qi suddenly set off.

He leapt toward the front.

Shuttling between the mountains.

At first, there was no discovery among the mountains.

Later on, clues began to emerge gradually.

"Master, what’s the matter?"

Ning Qi stopped to observe, which made Yao Ling anxious.

She quickly inquired about the situation.

"Nothing, I’m assessing whether we’ve chosen the wrong direction."

Ning Qi shook his head and continued, "I sense traces of demonic qi eroding here, so it should be correct."

"Mm, I also feel it’s strange; this ominous feeling suggests the activity of the Demon Race people."

Yao Ling sensed it too and spoke with agreement.

"Mm, alright, let’s continue."

Ning Qi nodded and continued moving forward.

Soon, he reached the end of the mountain range.

When he arrived here, he stopped once more.

"Master, have you discovered something again?"

Yao Ling looked around suspiciously: "But there’s nothing here."

"There are traces of Restriction here."

Ning Qi pointed to the ground and said solemnly, "They can hide themselves through some Array Restriction."

"Otherwise, they would have been discovered long ago by passersby."

"Mm, but are you sure it’s here?"

Yao Ling nodded, showing a serious expression: "I think it’s not that simple; they’re definitely hiding in some underground cave-like place."

"Otherwise, even with a Restriction, if someone patrols here, they will be discovered."

"What you said is possible, but I need to experiment here first."

Ning Qi once again nodded, then began circulating the demonic qi within him.

"Whew!"

As he circulated, demonic qi stirred, surrounding him with waves of Demon Flame.

"Master, why is your demonic qi so intense?"

It was Yao Ling’s first time sensing Ning Qi’s demonic qi.

It was unexpectedly strong to such an extent.

If she didn’t know his identity, she would mistake him for a Demon Race person.

"I just killed some Demon Race people and absorbed their demonic qi, plus the demonic qi I devoured from the twisted creatures in the Sea of Realms."

"So, it’s not surprising to have this level of demonic qi."

Ning Qi smiled and explained, "This way, I’m an undisputed Demon Race person now."

"Indeed, if I didn’t know the situation, I’d think you were from the Demon Race."

Yao Ling nodded, smiling.

"Alright, let’s set off; I want to see what’s tricky here."

Ning Qi nodded and then boldly stepped forward onto the clearing.

At this place, as soon as he appeared, he felt as if something was watching him.

"Master, I feel like I’m being watched by fierce beasts."

Yao Ling shrunk her neck, displaying a timid demeanor.

"You’re right; there are fierce beasts here, and not just one."

Ning Qi glanced around, fixing his gaze on a small hill ahead.

Powerful energies surged continuously from there.

The feeling of being watched also emanated from that direction.

"It’s right here."

Yao Ling looked over and confidently said, "Master, be careful."

"No worries, a few beasts are no match for me!"

Ning Qi seemed unperturbed, smiling: "I’ll go meet them; maybe there’s some unexpected reward!"

"Alright! Then be careful."

Yao Ling did not stop him, instead merging directly into Ning Qi’s body.

Hidden within his Dantian.

"Whew!"

Ning Qi took a deep breath and then suddenly vanished.

When he reappeared, he was at the slope he had just been observing.

Standing at the mountain peak, looking down.

Indeed, he saw several fierce beasts, robust and baring fangs.

Black qi surged around their whole bodies.

"Oh, demon race’s fierce beasts, no wonder they’re so powerful."

Ning Qi clicked his tongue and then looked at the fierce beasts, "Come, show me your might."
