Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 611: Chapter 280: Overpowering Suppression (Part 4)

"Li Daocheng, we have known each other for ten thousand years. Now that all my old friends are gone, I suddenly don’t want to kill you anymore."

Li Daocheng was taken aback, feeling that this scene seemed familiar, and his memories were immediately stirred.

It seemed that ten thousand years ago, Sword Shocking said the same thing to his Senior Brother Qi Feiyang, only changing ten thousand years to one hundred years.

Back then, his Senior Brother Qi had not conceded but quietly unleashed a Secret Treasure severely injuring Sword Shocking, yet in the end, still couldn’t escape death.

It was he who, amidst the confrontation between the two rivals, cried for mercy and managed to escape a disaster.

Now, ten thousand years have passed, and Li Daocheng was somewhat dazed; can he still escape a disaster?

"Is this true?" he suddenly asked.

"I spared you ten thousand years ago; why do you doubt now?"

Li Daocheng, although skeptical, was driven by survival instincts to play along, just in case...

"Tell me, what are your conditions?"

"Where is that Integration Ancestor of your Beixuan Upper Sect now?" Sword Shocking inquired.

Li Daocheng remained silent for a long while, finally seeing Ning Qi also arriving before him, with eyes devoid of curiosity, emotionless.

He merely wielded his sword, wanting to pierce Li Daocheng’s forehead.

In the end, it was caught between Sword Shocking’s two fingers.

Staring at the sword tip so close, with sharp Sword Intent and Sword Dao Rules, piercing both Li Daocheng’s flesh and Primordial Spirit painfully.

"Ancestor Zhou Tianzi went to investigate the shattered Profound Truth Secret Realm, and mentioned he might visit Celestial Star Upper Sect."

"Profound Truth Secret Realm, Celestial Star Upper Sect?"

Sword Shocking glanced at Ning Qi; he recalled Ning Qi had said Loose Cultivator Fu Chen seized the Harmonization Profound Skill, and while in Profound Truth Secret Realm, Ning Qi disguised as a Great Power of Celestial Star Upper Sect to kill the Beixuan Upper Sect people. Could it be...

Ning Qi remained silent, unchanged in expression.

Seeing Sword Shocking seemingly doubtful, Li Daocheng didn’t forget to feign ferocity:

"So you’d better let me go; otherwise, if our Ancestor invites the Ancestor of Celestial Star Upper Sect over, even the two of you strong as you are, Infinite Sword Sect won’t escape annihilation."

"What difference does it make to have one more or one less? Do you think I, Sword Shocking, would be afraid?"

Li Daocheng choked at this; though there was some truth to these words.

The descent of Integration Realm giants makes no difference with one more or less!

"Forget it, don’t ask him anymore, just leave it to you to handle. You should be capable of Soul Search, right?"

Sword Shocking asked Ning Qi.

Ning Qi nodded.

Li Daocheng’s expression suddenly changed drastically, "Sword Shocking, you’re not keeping your word!"

"For a person like you who begs for mercy when in danger and bullies the weak when seen, what good is keeping my word? Wouldn’t it be like putting my conscience on a dog? Ten thousand years have passed, why are you still so naive?"

Li Daocheng almost fainted from anger.

Ning Qi had no intention of sparing him, covering his forehead with one hand, performing the Great Reversal Soul Technique.

Li Daocheng’s screams gradually fell silent, and his body dissipated into smoke in the air.

This battle finally concluded, with Infinite Sword Sect claiming victory with zero loss!

Everyone was exhilarated by this outcome, but deeply aware that it was largely thanks to Ning Qi.

Ning Qi and Sword Shocking reappeared at the square.

"Congratulations to Sect Leader Ning for vanquishing all enemies!"

"Sect Leader Ning, achieving greatness at a young age, with skills that astound the world, truly humbles us!"

Before those from Infinite Sword Sect could cheer, the other sects’ Great Powers present began to praise one after another.

They listened, feeling proud in their hearts.

Ning Qi sat in the main seat, pressing his hand gently, and the square immediately quieted.

"Honored guests, your presence today was meant to be a joyful occasion. I didn’t intend for you to witness such a farce."

"Sect Leader Ning is too modest; were it not for this, how would we know the might of Sect Leader Ning?"

Ning Qi looked over the crowd.

Unmoved by the flattering remarks, he said:

"Now that the ceremony is complete, let’s discuss official matters."

"Please speak directly, Sect Leader Ning."

Ning Qi said, "Everyone knows Beixuan Upper Sect is unmatched in tyranny, and they intend to target our Infinite Sword Sect. None within our Sword Sect fears them. However, should we fall to Beixuan Upper Sect next, your future would not fare well either. I wonder if you have the heart to join forces with our Infinite Sword Sect?"

Ning Qi presented a choice for the neutral sects.

Will anyone sift through the waves to find sand, or perceive light amidst the reverse currents?

The Great Powers were thoughtful, mentioning the gravity of the matter, unable to decide, requiring reporting to their sects for deliberation before any conclusion.

Of course, many inwardly opposed, unwilling to express it.

Because Ning Qi was too powerful, intimidating them!

They dared not oppose him directly now, and as for cooperation, just thinking of Beixuan Upper Sect’s Integration Realm giants made them feel cooperation was seeking death?

Seeing everyone like this, Ning Qi was indifferent.

Afterward, Infinite Sword Sect continued with unfinished rituals.

Half a day passed, and the other sects’ Great Powers swiftly departed with their True Inheritors, and the events within Infinite Sword Sect gradually spread.

Inside the Sect Leader’s hall, all Elders gathered, along with the Top Ten True Inheritors.

Though having slain the invaders, everyone remained worried about Beixuan Upper Sect’s Integration Realm.

Even Sword Ancestor found it hard to remain carefree.

After some discussion, they suggested initiating the Sect Protection Array, preparing for long-term mountain closure.

Seeing everyone like this, Ning Qi couldn’t oppose and agreed.

Now, no other sect in Beixuan Domain would likely help Infinite Sword Sect; fortunately, Ning Qi mentioned the demonic beings Niu Man encountered in Profound Truth Secret Realm.

They swore an oath to Demon God, promising to ally with Niu Mo Upper Sect and stand with Infinite Sword Sect.

This good news immediately revitalized the worried crowd.

Sect Leader had early forged good ties, surprisingly revealing them only now.

Sword Ancestor directly took on the task of seeking help from Niu Mo Upper Sect’s Integration Realm, not letting Ning Qi leave, as Ning Qi’s talents were too precious to waste on a journey.

Hence, he urged Ning Qi to practice diligently during this time; once he ascends to Integration Realm, fearing Beixuan Upper Sect would be unlikely!

In truth, everyone was aware.

Both Sword Ancestor and Sect Leader were invincible individuals of their rank; should one of them breakthrough to Integration Realm, Beixuan Upper Sect would be no threat.

Sword Shocking understood his situation, naturally choosing not to send Ning Qi for the task.

Ning Qi handed the token given by Niu Man in Profound Truth Secret Realm to Sword Ancestor as evidence.

Later, the gathering dispersed, everyone returned to their duties.

Ning Qi watched Sword Ancestor’s departing back, also announcing his seclusion.

Once the doors closed tightly, he quietly left Infinite Sword Sect, heading straight for Beixuan Upper Sect.

Waiting was never Ning Qi’s habit, whoever drove him to fear, he would repay them personally!
