Chapter 19

After hearing the last three words from Ning Cheng, the guard's face turned somewhat difficult. After hesitating for a while, he still went to open the door and said, "The door is already open. If you want to go out, just leave. If you don't go out, I'll close it again."

As long as Ning Cheng dared to take a step back, he would immediately close the door. After all, Ning Cheng asked him to open the door, and he had already done so. If Ning Cheng himself was unwilling to leave, then even if something happened, it wouldn't be his fault.

Ning Cheng turned around helplessly, glared fiercely at the two guards, and walked out of the small door at the back of the academy with some annoyance.

During the time Ning Cheng walked to the group of guards and then out of the small door, Ji Luofei's heart was always on edge. She couldn't imagine how Ning Cheng could be so bold, using a cleaning wooden sign to do this. If they were discovered, they would have no place to bury their bodies. It wasn't because of those guards, but because once they had a conflict with those guards, they would have no way to escape.

After leaving the small door, Ning Cheng didn't run in a hurry but stopped and pointed at the words "Dough Pot" and said, "Luofei, if I become a powerful cultivator in the future, I will definitely destroy this Dough Pot Arena."

Ji Luofei's adaptability was not as good as Ning Cheng's, but she was also a smart person. As soon as Ning Cheng mentioned the Dough Pot, she immediately understood. Ning Cheng knew about her participation in the Dough Pot Arena, and her heart warmed up.

"Let's go first. This is not a place to stay. I'm not very familiar with the outside, so you lead the way, Luofei." After leaving the Cang Qin Academy, Ning Cheng felt a sense of relief and turned back to smile at Ji Luofei.

"Okay." Ji Luofei nodded, knowing that she couldn't hesitate at this moment. She quickened her pace and led Ning Cheng through the bustling market. In just a few minutes, she had brought Ning Cheng to a very secluded small road.

Even while running, Ji Luofei was puzzled about how Ning Cheng could become so calm and composed. She hesitated for a long time and decided to ask Ning Cheng. Before she could speak, Ning Cheng asked first, "Luofei, I have a question. With nearly ten thousand people in the main square, how did you find me so quickly?"

There was another question Ning Cheng didn't ask. He wanted to know where Ji Luofei had gone after he stayed in the cultivation tower and why she hadn't come to find him.

Ji Luofei hesitated slightly, just about to answer, when she suddenly felt Ning Cheng pull her away. A beam of white light shot past where she had been standing. Ji Luofei's face changed, and two men were already standing in front of her and Ning Cheng.

Seeing the tall and short male cultivators, Ji Luofei's heart immediately sank. She knew these two, the two main enforcers of the Xian family, both at the sixth level of Qi Gathering. With her third level of Qi Gathering and Ning Cheng's first level, they had no chance of escaping.

"Huh, a mere first-level Qi Gathering, yet with such quick reflexes." The tall male cultivator was surprised by Ning Cheng's reaction, which was even faster than Ji Luofei's.

Ji Luofei only realized then that her reaction had been slower than Ning Cheng's, but at this moment, she had no time to think about it. She said urgently, "Ning Cheng, you quickly go. I'll hold them off for a while..."

"A mere third-level Qi Gathering dares to say she can hold us off. You killed Young Master Yuan Kui and still want to run? Think about how you can die more peacefully." The tall male cultivator said with disdain.

After a brief moment of panic, Ning Cheng calmed down and said in a deep voice, "Luofei, you know my talent. After you leave, remember to avenge me. I don't want to die without anyone avenging me."

The two cultivators from the Xian family didn't wait for Ning Cheng to finish speaking and had already attacked. Several wind blades blocked Ning Cheng and Ji Luofei's path. At the same time, both had taken out a magical tool but didn't attack, clearly intending to capture them alive.

Ning Cheng had never fought anyone before. Once the fight started, he realized how far he was from the sixth level of Qi Gathering. This was not even on the same level. Not to mention letting Ji Luofei go, even dodging those wind blades was very difficult.

...

"Six feet of white golden spiritual root..." Almost everyone behind the stage stood up, and the gray-robed male cultivator from the Yuxing Five-Star Academy, Weng Qilue, was extremely excited.

At this moment, Jiang Tu, who had just challenged, was standing in front of the spiritual root detection device. His hand was on the detection device, and a white light column over six feet tall and as thick as a child's arm appeared on the crystal column. There were no fine lines next to the white light column, only a golden circle at the bottom of the white light column.

"Haha, I didn't expect Cang Qin Academy to have such a genius. Good, good, this trip was not in vain. By the way, what's your name?" Weng Qilue walked up to the stage, his face beaming, and asked Jiang Tu.

Jiang Tu bowed politely and said, "This junior is Jiang Tu, answering the senior."

"Good, good... Jiang Tu, from now on, you are a student of the Yuxing Five-Star Academy. You don't need to go up to fight. Who did you challenge just now?" Weng Qilue said several more "goods" before finally asking who Jiang Tu had challenged.

"It's Yong Ruili." Jiang Tu answered honestly.

Weng Qilue nodded and directly said to Yong Ruili, who had already come out to fight, "You have been eliminated. You can go down now."

Yong Ruili's face turned extremely ugly, but she had to bow and then turned away from the stage, her heart heavy. She knew very well that even as a princess of Cang Qin, she was nothing in front of this gray-robed man.

"Jiang Tu, are you willing to be my personal disciple?" After sending Yong Ruili off the stage, Weng Qilue asked Jiang Tu with a gentle smile.

Jiang Tu quickly bowed again and said, "Jiang Tu greets Master."

Weng Qilue laughed heartily and directly took out a small leather bag and handed it to Jiang Tu, saying, "This is a gift from your master."

"Weng Senior, you are really generous, giving away a storage bag so easily. When Jiang Tu returns to the academy, there might even be an elder who wants to take him as a disciple." Another male cultivator from the Yuxing Academy, with a stiff face, said at an inappropriate time.

Weng Qilue didn't mind at all, "If you envy me, just say it. There are still many students here. You can find one yourself. Maybe you can find a satisfactory disciple to take back."

Of course, Weng Qilue said this with pride, not expecting another pure spiritual root disciple to appear in the Cang Qin Academy.

However, the other two from the Yuxing Academy really released their divine sense. They were both at the Foundation Establishment stage, which allowed them to release their divine sense. The other male cultivator didn't see anyone worth his attention, but the woman in the light green, gold-patterned dress suddenly stood up.

"Yao He, what's wrong?" Weng Qilue and the other Foundation Establishment male cultivator both noticed the woman's unusual behavior and asked quickly.

The woman named Yao He coldly snorted and directly summoned a green lotus-shaped magical tool, then jumped onto it and instantly flew away from the stage.

"Flight magical tool." The students of the Cang Qin Academy immediately became agitated. To them, a flight magical tool was even rarer than a pure spiritual root. In the Cang Qin Two-Star Academy, there were only two flight magical tools. Students who wanted to go to the Da'an Forest or the Mango Sea for training usually had to take a month-long ride in a beast cart.

...

Ning Cheng held his blood-stained chest with one hand and supported Ji Luofei with the other, his heart cold. He knew he would not escape today. He just didn't know if he could return to Earth after death. His sister must be very anxious not finding him for a while. Ning Cheng looked at the blue sky, thinking of Rulan all the time.

Seeing Ning Cheng staring blankly at the distant sky, Ji Luofei also knew that further resistance would only bring more humiliation. At this moment, she forgot about the impending death and suddenly asked, "Ning Cheng, did you say you couldn't marry me because I am ugly?"

Ning Cheng turned around and suddenly smiled, "Luofei, you are not ugly. It's because we are not from the same world."

There was another thing Ning Cheng didn't say. He preferred being with Ji Luofei and now had some aversion to beautiful women. Except for his sister Rulan, any beautiful woman was as deep as the sea. You never knew when they would suddenly stab you, and for no reason. Even a gentle woman like Tian Muwan couldn't avoid it, let alone others?

Ji Luofei fell silent. She didn't understand Ning Cheng's meaning. She thought he meant she would leave Cang Qin in the future, so they were not from the same world.

"Then now? We are both going to die." As soon as Ji Luofei finished speaking, a long whip swept over. She and Ning Cheng had no ability to resist and could only watch helplessly as the whip was about to entangle them.

"Bang, bang" Two dull sounds, and the next moment, the sixth-level Qi Gathering cultivator who had used the whip was blasted away and crashed into a nearby boulder, spitting out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, the other sixth-level Qi Gathering cultivator who hadn't acted was also blasted away, crashing into another boulder and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Senior..." The two Qi Gathering cultivators were severely injured in just a breath, even their meridians were damaged. They were immediately terrified and knew that the person who had acted was far more powerful than they were.

Ning Cheng and Ji Luofei recovered their senses and saw a woman with a fierce aura standing in front of them.

Ning Cheng recognized the woman at first glance. She was the female teacher from the Yuxing Five-Star Academy who had come to recruit disciples at the Cang Qin Academy. But why did she suddenly appear here and even come to their rescue?

"What's your name?" The woman looked at Ji Luofei, who was being supported by Ning Cheng, and asked gently.

Ning Cheng's heart stirred. He had felt some similarity between this woman and Ji Luofei before. Could it be that they were really related?
