Full level of enlightenment: I achieved Daozu by ascending to the lower realm

Chapter 668 Demonic Shadow!

"Young Master Ding, are you really leaving?"

Li Qiuwan was still a little reluctant and couldn't help but ask.

"Good, everyone, take care and try your best to get towards the city."

"Even if these monsters breach the surrounding area, the people inside the city will not give them the chance to break through."

Ning Qi looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "However, be careful not to be discovered by the guards in the city."

"Okay, thank you for reminding me."

Xu Qianhe clasped his hands in a fist salute and said.

"Goodbye!"

Ning Qi clasped his hands in a fist salute to the crowd, then sped away.

On this trip, he headed straight for the area where the battle fluctuations were strongest.

Along the way, you can often see immortals fighting against these demonic shadows.

However, these demonic figures varied in strength, and none of them formed an overwhelming force.

Ning Qi soon arrived at the top of a mountain and stopped to look into the distance.

There was a region where the fighting was most intense.

Here, there was a contingent of immortal guards.

They were all fully armored, and it was clear they were not from ordinary sects.

Everyone here possesses the combat power of a peak Celestial Immortal.

They had formed a battle formation here, and in front of them, several people were engaged in fierce combat.

These people's enemies were several shadowy figures.

They fought fiercely here, and judging from their strength, both were at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm.

One of the demons actually possessed the strength of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. He was watching the battle from a distance, clearly there to keep things under control.

On the immortal side, there were both men and women, who were also watching the battle from a distance.

However, everyone's face was solemn.

Clearly, they were also wary of the demons with the power of a Great Luo Golden Immortal behind them.

"Senior sister, do you think this monster might suddenly attack us?"

One of them looked ahead and couldn't help but ask.

"He wouldn't dare. Experts with the strength of a Great Luo Golden Immortal cannot act casually; there are restrictions here."

The person referred to as "senior sister" said.

"But, is it possible that he might actually show himself?"

Another person asked.

"So what? Our senior brother is so strong, how could we let him win?"

"That's right, our senior brother has already reached the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, and is only one step away from becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal."

"..."

Immediately after he said that, people started talking about it.

Their eyes were filled with disdain; they didn't take the demonic figure with the strength of a Great Luo Golden Immortal seriously at all.

Ning Qi, being in the distance, could hear their conversation and had a general understanding of the situation.

However, he was still very curious about how these people started the war and what these demonic shadows were.

They were clearly not demons, yet they possessed demonic energy, which was quite puzzling.

Ning Qi glanced at them, then leaped up and rushed towards the people talking there.

"call!"

The next moment, he had already landed on their side.

At this moment, he had completely concealed his strength, and no one could tell what his true strength was.

"Who goes there!"

He was immediately spotted by someone, this uninvited guest.

Many people looked in his direction.

"Gentlemen, don't be nervous, we're all on the same side."

Ning Qi clasped his hands in a fist salute to the crowd and said with a smile, "I've just come to check on the situation here."

"Hmph, then go deal with the other demonic shadows, don't cause trouble here."

"Your strength is so low that if a fight breaks out later, you wouldn't even be enough to fill their teeth!"

The man who had spoken earlier scolded him after hearing his words.

That imperious manner gave people a feeling of being superior.

"Master, these people are really good at putting on an act. They're just a few Golden Immortals."

The spirit medicine spoke indignantly from within his dantian.

"It's alright, I'll inquire about it."

Ning Qi didn't care.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, get lost."

At this point, some people started urging them on.

"Shut up, don't disturb your senior brother."

The girl from before scoffed and turned to Ning Qi: "You can hide here, but don't disturb our fight, or I'll kill you."

"Okay! I promise I won't cause any trouble!"

Ning Qi couldn't help but find it amusing when he heard her say that.

He had seen through her abilities long ago.

He's just a Golden Immortal of the first rank, perhaps someone who has just broken through.

They still dare to be so arrogant.

"Oh no, is that bastard about to make a move?"

At this moment, the disciple who had spoken earlier suddenly spoke.

Everyone looked up and saw that the Great Luo Golden Immortal demon shadow, which had been motionless until now, had begun to move.

At this moment, their senior brother had a clear advantage.

They were about to kill the enemy.

That's why the demonic figure made a move; clearly, it wanted to help his people and prevent them from being killed by their own.

"Senior brother, be careful!"

The girl quickly called out.

"mean!"

"They even launched a sneak attack!"

"Everyone, get ready and do everything in your power to stop him!"

"..."

The people here immediately began to take action.

While they were on their way, the people on the Shadow side weren't idle either.

They have already begun to take action.

Each of them unleashed a powerful aura, and it looked like a major battle was about to break out between the two sides.

"Don't just stand there, join the team!"

The girl who had just spoken noticed that Ning Qi was standing still and immediately scolded him.

"I'm here to watch the show, not to fight."

Ning Qi said with a smile.

That seemingly harmless appearance makes people grit their teeth in hatred.

"you wanna die!"

The girl was furious upon hearing his words.

He drew his Xuan sword and thrust it towards Ning Qi.

Here, whether they are independent cultivators or members of a sect, they must obey their orders when they meet them.

For those who disobey orders, the only solution is to kill them.

Anyway, they're going to be killed by the Shadow Demon soon, so we might as well let him suffer a little less.

After the girl drew her sword, she suddenly thrust it towards Ning Qi.

Seeing this, Ning Qi did not dodge at all, but simply reached out his hand slightly.

"when!"

The moment the girl's longsword fell.

A buzzing sound erupted from the two of them.

It created a shockwave that sent the weaker disciples flying.

Hearing the commotion, everyone turned their attention to them.

Pairs of eyes stared in disbelief at the scene before them.

Everyone present knew the strength of their senior sister.

However, at this moment, her Xuan Sword was actually caught by Ning Qi under the full force of the attack.

Moreover, he didn't use much force; he simply held her sword gently between two fingers.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't draw the Xuan Sword.

A serious expression had appeared on her pretty face.

She never expected Ning Qi to be so strong.

With just two fingers, she could hold her indestructible Xuan Sword.

No matter how hard I try, I can't budge it in the slightest.

"court death!"

The commotion they were making attracted the attention of the junior apprentice who had just arrived.

They charged over, shouting and cursing.

"boom!"

However, something shocking happened next.

Ning Qi merely glanced at him with his eyes. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, instantly sending the man flying.

It left a long trail of blood in the air before finally falling to the distance.

He immediately fainted.

This attack caused an uproar among the crowd.

They never expected Ning Qi to be so strong.

A single glance was enough to send their men flying.

This is incredible strength; it's at least at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm.

In other words, Ning Qi's strength is definitely no less than that of their senior brother.

"you wanna die!"

The girl realized what was happening, took out another leather whip, and lashed it at Ning Qi.

Ning Qi didn't care at all, he just let out a little bit of his aura.

"Shh!"

The girl's whip was sent flying by his force.

"Don't mess with me again, or you'll all die."

Ning Qi was also enraged by them.

I just wanted to see what was going on here, but I ended up encountering a bunch of troublesome people.

"you!"

The disciples dared not speak out against their anger.

Even their senior sisters were no match for him, let alone them.

"What? Get out of my way!"

Ning Qi glared at him and said in a deep voice.

His words were like a thunderbolt, sweeping directly towards these people.

"boom!"

The next moment, it directly shook the void here and caused a shockwave to erupt.

Several people were forced back by the shock.

A look of horror appeared on everyone's face.

They never expected this person to be so strong.

Therefore, there is only one question that can be explained.

He is definitely not at the level of a Golden Immortal, but rather a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

"He's actually a Grand Luo Golden Immortal!"

"I really misjudged it just now."

"I never imagined he was so amazing!"

"..."

Several people stared at Ning Qi, their expressions grave.

"Young master, I'm so sorry for offending you!"

The girl's attitude changed, and she quickly apologized.

She already knew Ning Qi's strength; it would be unreasonable for her to remain stubbornly ignorant.

“If it weren’t for the sake of our kinship, you would have been wiped out long ago.”

Ning Qi glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice.

"Thank you for sparing my life, young master!"

The girl thanked her again and explained, "We are the Immortal Guards of Reputation, and we apologize for our rudeness just now."

"Immortal Guards?"

Ning Qi couldn't help but show curiosity after hearing her words.

This was the first time he had ever heard of this identity.

"That's right, I am Ji Wanru, and the one fighting them right now is our senior brother, Xu Haotian."

The girl immediately introduced herself.

"You Celestial Guards still refer to yourselves as members of a sect?"

Ning Qi remembered that they had clearly called her "senior sister" just now.

And the "senior brother" they just called him was also what they called him.

"That's right, we're here to guard this place; we were conscripted."

“We are all from the same sect, while the other group ahead is from another sect.”

Ji Wanru explained.

"I see."

Ning Qi nodded, instantly understanding what was going on.

The celestial guards here are all arranged together in a unified manner.

It allows members of a sect to form their own team, making them more imposing and united.

"Damn it, that demonic figure of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal has made a move!"

At this moment, the junior brother exclaimed in surprise.

His eyes were filled with a solemn expression.

"Young master, can you save my senior brother's life?"

Seeing this, Ji Wanru quickly pleaded for help: "As long as you are willing to help, we will definitely ask our master to repay us handsomely."

"Helping him is not out of the question."

"However, I am not interested in your thanks."

Ning Qi smiled and continued, "Tell me what's going on with these demonic shadows, and I'm ready to help them at any time."

"This... is a secret, we cannot reveal it."

Ji Wanru couldn't help but say something after hearing his words.

"These are all your own people, so even if I knew, who would have seen it?"

Ning Qi pointed at the crowd and said with a smile, "Or is it that there's a traitor among you who will betray you?"

"No, these are all our fellow disciples."

Ji Wanru quickly shook her head and then said, "Since that's the case, I'll tell you the truth."

"These demonic figures were discovered in a large mausoleum complex ahead of us."

"They must be the ancestors of the demon race, who were killed and buried here."

"We came here this time to take control of this place and explore its useful resources."

She explained their purpose in just a few simple words.

"I see."

Ning Qi frowned upon hearing her words.

I immediately understood what was going on.

So, it's still for the sake of resources that these demonic shadows were released here.

These people have only themselves to blame, but it seems they have a way to deal with these demonic shadows.

They knew what to do, so no one panicked too much.

Conversely, people like those from the Thousand Cranes Sect were often treated as cannon fodder.

Their purpose in coming was to help these orthodox members of the immortal race to learn more about the situation.

In other words, it's about using their lives to help them get the resources they want.

"Young master, could you help save my senior brother?"

The junior apprentice, getting anxious, quickly asked.

By this time, he had lost all his arrogance.

"Helping him was just a small favor."

Ning Qi smiled and then said, "However, I want to join you."

"I'll go with you to explore ahead. If you agree, I can help you once."

"Don't lie to me, otherwise even one team of yours wouldn't be enough for me to kill!"

"Don't worry, young master, we warmly welcome you to join us!"

Upon hearing his words, Ji Wanru immediately relaxed.

He quickly responded.

"Let him know, lest he think I'm going to hurt him!"

Ning Qi nodded, then reminded him, "Send him a voice transmission."

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Wanru immediately began to transmit her voice to their senior brother, Xu Haoran.

"Senior Brother Haoran, come back."

"We have a master to help us!"

"..."

The other fellow disciples also used their jade pendants to transmit their voices.

Soon, Xu Haotian turned his head and looked in their direction.

It's obvious that they've already received their message.

"call!"

The next moment, after a brief hesitation, he suddenly sped back towards them.

"call!"

At the same moment, Ning Qi took a deep breath.

It flew towards the demonic shadow ahead.

His appearance caused the demon in front of him to stop and stare at Ning Qi with its empty eyes.

Clearly, they wanted to see what this uninvited guest was all about.

However, after watching for a while, he still couldn't figure out who Ning Qi was or why he was stopping him. (End of Chapter)
