Chapter 571
The Myriad Swords Sect
"If you want to become an apprentice, you can go to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect."
"I am destined to wander the world, without a fixed abode."
Ning Qi shook his head. "Besides, I'm not from your realm either. I'll be going to the Boundary Sea soon."
With a few simple words, he rejected her request.
After hearing his words, Li Fengrou's hope vanished.
In fact, she already knew that Ning Qi wouldn't accept her so easily.
Even so, she still wanted to give it a try.
"However, if you wholeheartedly assist your imperial sister, she can teach you."
"Because I have already taught her some techniques."
Ning Qi looked at her and then reminded her, "You'd better not have any other ideas. I left a mark on her."
"If anyone is to harm her, then let alone your Yue Kingdom, I will turn your entire realm to dust."
"Thank you for the reminder, Immortal. I will no longer harm my royal sister."
Li Fengrou nodded quickly, her face full of sincerity.
"That's good."
"You all better take care of yourselves."
Ning Qi showed a satisfied expression.
"Then I'll take my leave now."
Li Fengrou stood up and then left respectfully.
“Master, this girl is quite cunning; she actually wants to become an apprentice.”
As Yao Ling watched her departing figure, she couldn't help but mutter to herself.
"He's flexible and ruthless."
"But it doesn't matter. Li Xiangrou is no longer the same person she used to be, especially after she ascended the throne."
"She seems like a completely different person."
Ning Qi squinted and looked ahead: "People will be completely changed after experiencing certain things and gaining certain things."
"Yes, Master, look!"
"She's here!"
Yao Ling nodded, and was about to say something more, but quickly pointed ahead.
It was the direction from which Li Xiangrou was heading.
Clearly, her schedule for the day is over.
That's why I came here specifically to find Ning Qi.
"Well, it's time to leave."
Ning Qi had noticed her arrival long ago.
As they spoke, they walked forward.
"Ning Qi."
After Li Xiangrou came over, she greeted her.
At this moment, she was wearing a python robe and looked heroic and spirited.
He truly possessed the aura of an emperor.
As she walked over, she revealed a rare feminine aura.
Ning Qi glanced at it and sighed inwardly.
This time, if I leave, I'm afraid this aura will be sealed away by her forever.
From now on, she will be facing the entire world.
There are also various forces at play. If Yue wants to prosper in the long run, she herself must first become strong.
"Congratulations."
After Ning Qi came to his senses, he simply said one sentence.
"Thank you."
Li Xiangrou thanked her again: "I sensed your presence here; you have been protecting me all along."
"Oh? You can sense it? So, you've already broken through to the level of a True Immortal."
Upon hearing her explanation, Ning Qi immediately understood what was going on.
I didn't expect her to break through so quickly.
"Yes, I didn't expect that either."
Li Xiangrou nodded, a smile appearing on her face: "After sensing the strength of a True Immortal, everything is different."
"That's right, your perception."
"Even your learning ability has become stronger."
"From now on, you will be the strongest in Yue."
Ning Qi said earnestly, "However, since we have taken on the responsibility of a country, we must protect it."
"Yes, I know."
Li Xiangrou nodded again, a look of reluctance in her eyes: "Are you... leaving?"
"Yes, everything has been resolved, and there's no need for me to stay."
Ning Qi sighed, a hint of emotion on his face.
I never imagined I would have such an experience here.
"Could you stay a few more days? I can show you the fairyland of our Yue Kingdom."
Li Xiangrou said.
"You should focus on your national affairs."
Ning Qi shook his head and said with a smile, "I'll come again if I have the chance in the future. Let's leave it for now."
"But……"
Li Xiangrou wanted to say something more.
"Alright, I should take my leave now."
However, Ning Qi had no intention of listening to her continue.
He clasped his hands in a fist salute to her and slowly flew into the void.
"Then, see you later."
Li Xiangrou also flew into the air to say goodbye to Ning Qi.
"Goodbye."
Ning Qi waved his hand, then turned and sped off towards the direction of the Myriad Swords Sect.
"Master, could this girl have taken a liking to you?!"
Yao Ling glanced back and couldn't help but say.
"Stop talking nonsense."
Ning Qi rolled his eyes at him: "Let's go, let's say goodbye to Miss Xu, and then we can leave this place."
"it is good."
Yao Ling nodded in agreement, and then looked ahead again.
That's the direction of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
After the two left, several more powerful auras explored the area.
However, they never dared to explore the vicinity of the imperial city.
These people were also well aware that someone supported by an immortal would inevitably have a backup plan.
No one would risk their life here.
They were just curious and wanted to test the waters.
"puff!"
"boom!"
However, a few daring individuals have already explored the imperial city.
However, it quickly backfired, with one of them exploding on the spot and its soul scattered.
The other one escaped faster, but still had his head chopped off.
"From this day forward, the capital of Yue Kingdom shall be off-limits to anyone with the strength of a True Immortal."
"Those who disobey orders will be killed without mercy."
The next moment, Ning Qi's ruthless and cold voice rang out.
This caused those who still coveted this place to scatter and flee.
"Ning Qi, thank you!"
Li Xiangrou, in the void, thanked the direction in which the figure had vanished.
At that moment, she really wanted to chase after them.
Unfortunately, as the Queen of Yue, she remained calm and did not impulsively pursue Ning Qi.
After saying this, he looked down at the imperial city and then slowly descended.
As she landed on a pavilion below, she was still looking in the direction Ning Qi had left.
At this moment, Ning Qi and Yao Ling had already left the imperial city and continued to speed along the road they had come from.
In the blink of an eye, they were back outside the city where they had reunited that day.
"Master, now no one will bother us anymore, right?"
The spirit of medicine perched on his shoulder and said with a smile.
"So much time has passed, who can still remember us?"
Ning Qi said nonchalantly, "Let's go, we don't need to stay any longer."
"Let's go straight to the Myriad Swords Sect. Once we've settled things here today, we'll head back to the Boundary Sea."
"Yes, then we can head home!"
Yao Ling said, bouncing around.
"set off!"
Ning Qi didn't delay any longer.
After saying that, there was no sign of it ending.
They simply skipped over the city and headed straight for the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
"stop!"
However, just as he was about to pass by, a cold shout came from below.
"Whoosh!"
Immediately following, several cold arrows pierced through the air.
They wanted to shoot Ning Qi.
"Whoosh!" Ning Qi dodged the cold and merciless attack with a single flash.
Then he looked down from a distance.
A burly figure leaped up from within the city walls.
It flew straight towards him.
"Are you crazy?"
Ning Qi looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said angrily.
"This is Cloud City. If you're passing through here, you should stop here and land!"
"This is the rule of our Ten Thousand Swords Sect!"
The middle-aged man looked coldly at Ning Qi, his expression stern: "Daring to fly through our city is an act of contempt for us!"
"Oh? What kind of ridiculous rule is this?"
Ning Qi found it laughable.
By this time, he already knew who this person was.
He must be the city lord here.
Just like the young city lord back then, he looks like the kind of arrogant and domineering person you'd expect.
"Hmph, since that's the case, then prepare to die!"
The city lord snorted coldly and charged towards Ning Qi.
He gripped the long sword tightly, ready to deliver a fatal blow.
"Unbelievable!"
Ning Qi was not afraid at all and directly drew his Xuan Sword.
"when!"
The sword and the knife clashed, unleashing a blinding flash of light.
Then, a wave of light rippled out, sending the rocks and trees below flying horizontally.
Suddenly, a ravine several tens of feet deep was revealed underground.
The city lord never expected Ning Qi to be so strong.
Not only could she easily block his attacks, but she could also handle them with such ease.
"boom!"
While he was distracted, Ning Qi had already made his move.
With just one palm strike, the city lord was sent flying.
"Boom!"
After it hit the mountaintop, it kicked up a cloud of dust.
Gravel also rolled down.
"Splash."
A moment later, the city lord leaped out from the rubble.
He was in a rather disheveled state at this moment.
The arrogance they had shown moments before was long gone.
His eyes were fixed on Ning Qi.
"What, you're still not convinced?"
Ning Qi looked at the city lord in front of him and said disdainfully, "If you dare to come again, I will kill you."
"You dare to look down on the people of my Ten Thousand Swords Sect, you will regret it."
The city lord looked coldly at Ning Qi, but he was not stupid.
They didn't rush forward any further.
He knew very well that Ning Qi's strength was absolutely overwhelming, and if he continued to charge forward, he would only face certain death.
"Hmph, trash."
Ning Qi merely snorted, made a sarcastic remark, and then flew away.
I ignored him.
"My lord, shall we report this to the people within the sect?"
At that moment, a person flew over and asked.
"I teleported back to the sect and asked my senior brother to deal with him."
The city lord gritted his teeth and headed back to the teleportation array in the city.
Meanwhile, Ning Qi had already left the city and was flying towards the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
"Master, he won't come looking for trouble again, will he?"
Yao Ling was a little worried: "We're going to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. What if we offend their people before we even get here?"
"Have you forgotten that we offended their people a long time ago?"
Ning Qi glanced at him and said with a smile, "Are we supposed to apologize to them?"
He was no longer the same person he used to be.
His strength was no longer that of a true immortal. After breaking through, Ning Qi was no longer afraid of anything.
The strongest beings in this realm are those of the Celestial Immortals.
I imagine there are a few people with this level of strength in the Myriad Swords Sect.
However, Ning Qi was not afraid of them even if they joined forces.
His strength is beyond what ordinary celestial beings can contend with.
After several fierce battles, he had a clear understanding of his own strength.
"Master, I think I can see the gate of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect!"
The two of them sped along like this for about half an hour.
Finally, we saw a mountain gate.
Ning Qi followed the gaze and saw the mountain gate of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
Below are some small towns, which are obviously occupied by people who come here to visit and live here.
Nearby, there were many thatched huts and a number of servants busy at work.
These are clearly their outer disciples.
Near the mountain gate, there were some inner disciples guarding it.
Above the gate of the mountain, which is more than ten feet high, hangs a plaque bearing the name of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
The three characters carved on the sword are powerful and vigorous.
"Such profound sword energy."
Ning Qidu sighed.
“Master, I think your sword energy can also have this effect.”
Yao Ling said disdainfully.
"I'm not ready yet; there's still a lot of artistic conception involved."
"It takes the passage of time to etch this."
Ning Qi was not so arrogant as to be self-righteous.
"Who comes here?"
At that moment, a group of people leaped down from below.
They blocked Ning Qi's path.
Each of them wore a solemn expression, staring intently at Ning Qi.
Waiting for his reply.
"I'm here to visit a friend."
Ning Qi clasped his hands in greeting to the group and then politely asked, "May I ask if Xu Qingqiu is a member of your sect?"
"Senior Sister Xu?"
"You know our senior sister?"
After hearing his words, several people couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, this is our token."
Ning Qi remembered something, so he took out a jade pendant and showed it to the people in front of him.
"So they were looking for our senior sister!"
The leader recognized the jade pendant immediately upon seeing it.
It is obviously Xu Qingqiu's.
"Yes, could you please inform her? I'll wait for her here."
Ning Qi nodded and then clasped his hands in greeting to the others.
"Brother, since you're a friend of our senior sister..."
“That’s our friend, how can we let you wait here?”
"Come with me, I'll take you to see our senior sister!"
The man who had been leading the group immediately became polite and invited Ning Qi to come with him.
"Oh? Then I'll have to trouble you, brother."
Ning Qi clasped his hands in a fist salute and said with a smile.
"You guys keep patrolling, I'll be right back!"
Before leaving, this person gave some instructions to several people.
"Yes, Senior Brother!"
"..."
The others responded in unison and then went to continue their patrol.
After they had all left, this person said to Ning Qi, "Please."
"please!"
Ning Qi responded politely.
Then he followed this person and flew down towards the mountain gate of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
With him leading the way, no one stopped Ning Qi along the way.
"Master, it seems Miss Xu has some status here!"
Yao Ling, perched on his shoulder, smiled and said, "I wonder how the nine-tailed cat is doing."
"Don't worry, we'll find out when we get there."
After Ning Qi responded, he looked towards the mountain gate.
Before they knew it, they had arrived at the mountain gate with this person.
The two landed one after the other and then headed towards the mountain gate. (End of Chapter)
