Tianhuang City, Ning Family.
In the ancestral hall of the Ning family, three black jade slips were broken into pieces one after another. At this time, in the ancestral hall, headed by the patriarch Ning Fenghe, more than a dozen senior officials of the Ning family including ordinary elders and above gathered together.
The black jade slip is called 'soul slip'. Soul slips are hard to come by. In the Ning family, only direct members of the Spirit Emperor realm and above are qualified to have the family make a soul slip for them.
Ever since the soul slip of the eldest elder of the Ning family was shattered, there has been a stir among the top brass of the clan.
When the clan leader Ning Fenghe and his party rushed to the ancestral temple, the second soul slip shattered, and Ning Fengming, the supreme elder of the Ning family, died!
After a while, the soul of Supreme Elder Ning Fengshan shattered.
As for the four offerings, although there were no soul slips, everyone present could guess the results.
"Two Supreme Elders led a team to hunt down the boy named Tang, but the whole army was wiped out! The whole army was wiped out! Come, ask the ancestors to come over and bring Ning Dongjue with him!"
Ning Fenghe said weakly, his face was gloomy and terrifying. Obviously, the Ning family could not bear the losses caused by this operation.
As the head of the Ning family, he cannot escape the blame.
Soon, the ancestor of the Ning family, 'Ning Chenji', appeared in the ancestral temple. Hearing that the chief elder and two supreme elders of the clan had died, suddenly, Ning Chenji burst into anger. It was so powerful that everyone was breathless.
"Clan...Clan leader, the second young master has brought..."
At this moment, Ning Dongjue was brought to the ancestral temple. As soon as he arrived, he saw his ancestor showing off his power, and Ning Dongjue couldn't help feeling uneasy.
"Ancestor...Father...you..."
Suddenly, Ning Dongjue felt that something was wrong. The ancestral temple had gathered high-level family members, and every elder looked at him with extremely unkind eyes.
"Jue'er, kneel down."
Ning Fenghe closed his eyes and said.
He was ready to severely punish Ning Dongjue personally. No matter whether Ning Dongjue concealed something about this matter, the death of the first elder and the two supreme elders was, after all, caused by Ning Dongjue.
Ning Dongjue was stunned on the spot.
"Damn thing!"
The ancestor of the Ning family, Ning Chenji, was really angry. He directly ignored Ning Fenghe's face, and the terrifying fourth-level Lingzong aura was like Mount Tai pressing down on Ning Dongjue, forcing him to kneel on the ground.
Pfft...
At this moment, all the meridians in Ning Dongjue's body were shattered. With a wave of Ning Chenji's hand, Ning Dongjue flew out like a sandbag and plopped into the water.
"Ancestor, please leave him alive..."
Ning Fenghe asked for help.
Now that things have happened, he understands that because of Ning Dongjue, he made a very wrong decision for his family. The 'man named Tang' in Ning Dongjue's mouth definitely has a strong man behind him who cannot be provoked.
Ning Dongjue was crippled. The day before, he had imagined the scene of Tang Xingfeng being killed. How could he have imagined that now his cultivation was crippled and he became a dying cripple? If he had known this, he would never have encouraged his father to go there. Kill Tang Xingfeng...
It's too late to regret now.
"Tang... I am not willing to accept it... I am not willing to accept it..."
Ning Dongjue was ferocious and terrifying, with only a little strength left to make a weak sound.
Tang Xingfeng had no idea about all this.
In the Lost Woods, Tang Xingfeng had traveled hundreds of miles deeper. Because he didn't know whether the Ning family would continue to send experts to kill him, he chose to avoid it and go deep into the Lost Woods.
Immediately he found a remote cave and arranged a miniature psychedelic array at the entrance of the cave.
With all this ready, he began to heal.
He took out a third-grade spirit-enriching elixir and swallowed it, and then took out a precious spiritual crystal. He absorbed both the elixir and the spiritual crystal at the same time. He was still at the sixth-level Spirit Emperor realm.
Not to mention his courage, not many people can withstand his rich and powerful methods.
In the blink of an eye, the entire cave was filled with spiritual power that was hundreds of times richer than the outside world. In this dense spiritual power, taking a gentle breath, your body was like a hungry wolf, sucking hungrily.
The spiritual energy flowed into the spiritual field bit by bit. By evening, the backlash from the self-destruction thunder and fire had been almost eliminated, and his strength had returned to its original state.
Feeling his own strength, he smiled confidently.
However, now is not the time to stop. His fellow practitioners from the three departments have a much stronger foundation than ordinary people. Now that the spiritual field is saturated, he is just in time to break through!
"drink!"
The spiritual power continued to gather, and he tried his best to compress this spiritual power, slowly waiting for an opportunity to come, preparing to break through the bottleneck in one fell swoop.
Time passed and the sky gradually darkened.
Day and night in the cave, Tang Xingfeng concentrated on his cultivation and forgot about time. After a few hours, he finally felt the bottleneck loosen.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Tang Xingfeng noticed that an outsider was approaching his cave and heading towards him.
Outside the cave, two middle-aged men passed by. They were trying to avoid being chased by someone, so they accidentally ran into this remote cave.
"Big Chief, are you okay? Just hold on..."
"Diao Er, there is a cave there, it's a bit weird."
"Big boss, this is a formation, let's go around it..."
"No, let's go and check the situation first."
Afterwards, the two of them entered the psychedelic array. This psychedelic array was a miniature psychedelic array that Tang Xingfeng had casually arranged. As long as the first-order Spirit Emperor took a little time, he could forcibly break through the array.
The middle-aged man named 'Diao Er' was a third-level spiritual emperor. The big leader Diao Er mentioned was an eighth-level spiritual emperor, and he was seriously injured.
Big boss?
Tang Xingfeng smiled.
This title made him feel slightly friendly. These two people were probably a bandit force in the Lost Woods.
Bandits are rampant in the Lost Woods, and their power is not small. The group of bandits behind these two people can at least be regarded as a third-rate force.
The entire Lost Woods is a world of monsters and bandits. The top bandit forces here even surpass second-rate forces like the Ning family.
"Since you didn't forcefully break the formation, I'll spare your lives for now."
Tang Xingfeng thought to himself.
Now, he has reached a critical moment. Of course, he cannot give up the breakthrough just to kill two bandits.
"what happened!"
Diao Er said in shock.
The two of them were trapped in a miniature psychedelic array. At this moment, the spiritual energy around them surged obviously. It seemed that someone was making a breakthrough in cultivation nearby.
"Big boss, something's wrong, I'm here to break the formation!"
"Wait a minute, Diao Er, don't be reckless yet."
"But big boss, what if that person successfully completes the breakthrough and is disadvantageous to us!"
"There is no other way. We can only take a gamble. Even if you can break the formation, the movement is too big."
These two people seemed to be afraid of being chased by someone, so they hid all the way here.
Buzz buzz.
The spiritual movement is getting louder and louder.
The two bandits couldn't help but regret that the movement here might attract their pursuers. They both felt a little nervous and prayed that the pursuers would not come back.
After a while, the movement stopped, and the surrounding spiritual energy returned to stability. They guessed that someone in the cave had successfully broken through.
In the cave, Tang Xingfeng stood up slowly and clenched his fists. He couldn't help but feel the urge to let out his strength!
"Seventh level spiritual emperor..."
Tang Xingfeng murmured to himself. At this point, his cultivation has entered the ranks of high-level spiritual emperors.
The spiritual power of the seventh-level spiritual emperor is several times stronger than that of the sixth-level spiritual emperor. Now, he has a kind of confidence that if he fights against a strong man like Ning Fengshan again, he will still be sure to defeat him even without self-exploding thunder and fire. kill!
As for the self-destructing thunder fire, he has not yet tested it, but based on his estimation, he can now fully withstand the backlash of twenty self-destructing thunder fires.
He was about to inspect the trophies when suddenly his eyes narrowed slightly and he raised his head.
"Huh? It's interesting. Is this cave a geomantic treasure? Two bandits just came, and another wave came..."
Tang Xingfeng was a little surprised. He stopped checking the loot for the time being, gathered his breath and walked out of the cave.
