At this moment, the suppressed divine light was pulled upwards, gradually forming light and shadow, and the light and shadow were seen passing quickly. As soon as it became clear, what it showed was the appearance of a sacrifice to the sky.
Yanran hadn't seen through it yet, but at this moment, the man's divine light suddenly showed a strange change.
The light and shadow were abruptly interrupted, Yanran was forced to withdraw her hand, and the ice was broken, and the meaning of the great road that came from nowhere enveloped Jingling, as if it was going to swallow people up and melt them.
Yanran's eyes tightened, but the next moment, a golden light enveloped Jingling, the devouring appearance disappeared, and Jingling fell to the ground and fainted.
"What's going on?" Yanran suddenly turned around.
Zhao Ning's figure appeared at the right time, "He has a ban on him, and any mention of his identity will be blocked and erased."
Yanran was shocked and didn't know what to say when she opened her mouth.
After a while, he asked, "How could there be such a tyrannical ban? Even the soul can be swallowed up so easily."
Yanran sucked in a sharp breath and glanced around subconsciously. It was obviously impossible to sense anything, but she still whispered, "Could it be Tian...Tianzun...?"
In an instant, Yanran's initial aura subsided, and she even felt like she was causing trouble. She didn't know the origin of the other party, but instead...
"Don't worry." Zhao Ning comforted her, "This is the Nine Sky Temple, and another Heavenly Lord is here to control it. His will cannot come quietly."
Zhao Ning just raised his hand, and golden light surged on the Yuan Shen. Soon a certain aura from the Yuan Shen began to peel off, and it no longer caused the devouring power. It was just a ray of light that suddenly withdrew and fell in Zhao Ning's hand.
There seemed to be some light and shadow in the light group, and Yanran suddenly saw the scene of her private competition with Nandu in the light and shadow. Then she suddenly realized that it was at this time that Yuanshen spied on the difference in her skills.
Yan Ran was dejected, "I wanted to pull him out and find out what happened at the Nine Continent Passage, but in the end all my previous efforts were in vain and I gained nothing."
Zhao Ning closed his palm slightly, the light group shattered, and the memory of light and shadow also dissipated.
"It's not like we found nothing." Zhao Ning's eyes darkened slightly, "At least, we know that they may not see the light of day."
Yanran was stunned and didn't understand Zhao Ning's consciousness.
Zhao Ning didn't mention it again. With a flick of his finger, the scattered light and shadow dispersed, "He won't remember your abnormality anymore."
Yanran breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Ning gestured to her and disappeared.
As Zhao Ning disappeared, Jingling slowly woke up. The moment he woke up, he felt the crushing pressure rushing towards him. The next moment, he fled far away, and an offensive followed closely.
Jingling realized that Yanran was approaching step by step, and before he could fight back, Yanran's magic weapon was already lying in front of him.
Yanran raised her chin and said, "Your Excellency has lost, but you must remember to report it to the same sect."
Jing Ling's memory was blurred, so much so that he only remembered that he was suddenly frozen, and he was already at a disadvantage as soon as his consciousness changed.
Zhao Ning returned to Tianhai Tower. On the couch, she leaned against it and thought for a long time.
After a long time, a silver glow appeared in the void next to it, and Qin Keyuan slowly walked out of it.
"Uncle Master is back." Zhao Ning stood up slightly.
Qin Keyuan softly responded "Yeah" and sat cross-legged on his side, "What are you thinking about?"
Zhao Ning leaned forward and whispered, "I just accompanied Yanran to meet Jingling. He was competing with her in the main hall to test the soul. Yanran recognized him as one of the intruders of the Jiuzhou Passage."
"how?"
"He has a weird forbidden power. Once his identity is exposed, he will be melted by the backlash. Although the truth has not been discovered, it is quite suspected that he is trying to hide it."
Qin Keyuan chuckled, "It's quite interesting."
Zhao Ning curled up her lips and said, "Uncle Master, I think that with such a ban and cover-up, where could they come from?"
Qin Keyuan only knows two words.
"Extraterritorial."
Chapter 398
The words "outside the territory" were spoken calmly and indifferently, without being too shocking.
When Han Yu came to Jiuzhou from Jiuzhou with the help of Tianzun's fall, he told Zhao Ning that he vaguely saw cultivators from outside the territory who were about to make a move in the Heavenly Demon's Nest.
Everything is traceable.
The only puzzling thing is why the Jiukong Temple is associated with cultivators from outside the territory, and the Jiukong Temple has obviously been operating in Jiuzhou for millions of years and has never changed.
The book "Secrets of the Xianyu" also said that at that time, Haokong Tianzun achieved the status of heaven and man in Xianzhou and created the Nine Sky Temple, which had never been seen outside the territory in the past.
So, the situation at this moment has changed in Jiukong Temple in recent years, or it is really hidden deeply.
Zhao Ningsi and Qin Keyuan walked out of the underground palace of their ancestors, where the true past of Jiukong Temple should be recorded.
"How is the situation in the underground palace of our ancestors?"
Qin Keyuan paused for a moment, his eyes darkened, "The underground palace is empty."
It's shocking, but it seems reasonable. It just drags Jiukongsha into a more complicated and huge shadow.
"Stored inside are the lights and shadows of the immortals' past." Qin Keyuan said about the scene he saw in the immortal's underground palace, "There are thirteen crystal pillars in total, and each square crystal pillar records the life of an ancestor."
"The ancient aura that comes from nowhere remains on these crystal pillars, covering up the true nature inside."
Zhao Ning asked, "Is there a real burial place in Jiukong Temple? Where could it be?"
Qin Keyuan didn't say anything, but Zhao Ning gradually realized that such a place might be there, and that was where people from outside the Nine Sky Temple came.
However, if this is true, is Jiukong Temple really the Jiukong Temple of Jiuzhou? Is Haokong Tianzun really the Tianzun of Jiuzhou?
If so, then what is the purpose of operating for millions of years and almost being exposed in a moment?
Zhao Ning suddenly thought that when the Jing family mentioned a certain secret, they talked about "acting without permission". Could it be because of this exposure?
Zhao Ning thought for a moment but couldn't get an answer. She also thought about Ying Ming's identity in Jiukong Temple, but she didn't hear Qin Keyuan mention it.
"Ying Ming doesn't know about this?"
Qin Keyuan said, "Ying Ming is not a person from outside the territory. He is a person from Jiuzhou. He entered Jiukong Temple through the Immortal Recruitment Order. He belongs to the same lineage as his master, and he also has some strange abilities."
Given Yingming's position in Jiukong Temple, he knew nothing about the anomalies in Jiukong Temple. He still needed to get sporadic hints from Haokong Tianzun's attitude through trial and error. This was a strange thing in itself.
He added, "More than half of the people who enter the Nine Sky Temple are like Xiang Yingming."
Because of this, the situation in Jiukongsha has become more complicated.
Zhao Ning frowned subconsciously.
Until the eyebrows are gently smoothed by the fingertips.
"Take your time." Qin Keyuan said, "Since people from outside the territory also need to enter Jiuzhou through the Jiuzhou Passage, it means that they are as isolated as Jiuzhou."
"Yuyu Jiuchongtian, which is called heaven, has never been a place of exclusion. Tolerance and integration are the foundation of heaven. As long as they remain honest as before, they will be a part of Yuyu Jiuchongtian and will be accepted by heaven."
"Yeah." Zhao Ning responded.
She leaned closer and whispered, "So, the expulsion of Jiuzhou has nothing to do with Jiukongsha?"
"No. He just wants to take advantage of the situation. The real decree comes from other heavenly beings. That one is currently worried about his fate and will not show up easily."
He spread out Zhao Ning's right hand, and his fingertips invisibly wrote a name in the shape of Kyushu in Zhao Ning's palm.
Chenghe.
Chenghe Tianzun. Zhao Ning wrote it down in his mind.
As he finished the last stroke, his hands were folded and his fingertips were rubbed.
The two were silent for a moment. Qin Keyuan lowered his eyes and looked at Zhao Ning, tracing Zhao Ning's outline with his eyes. She still looked like Lin Ying.
Then he asked, "Why do you still maintain the appearance of Lin Ying?"
Since entering the Nine Sky Temple, Zhao Ning has never shown her original appearance, and she has not changed even when she is alone in Tianhai Tower.
The peeks from those souls were nothing to Zhao Ning, but Zhao Ning... was probably used to it or just lazy.
No matter how he appears to others, Zhao Ning is Zhao Ning, just like Qin Keyuan. Although he looks like Ying Ming, he is still Qin Keyuan.
These two identities were connected, and Zhao Ning suddenly remembered Lu Hanhe's inquiry, and suddenly chuckled.
He probably didn't know that just one question could make Zhao Ning laugh like this.
He asked in confusion, "What?"
Zhao Ning came close to him, the distance was so close that they could breathe together, so that a certain charming atmosphere floated unconsciously. Zhao Ning whispered, "Your great nephew visited Tianhai Tower not long ago and asked about Venerable Lin Ying has a question."
This question in Zhao Ning's slightly cunning eyes made Qin Keyuan pause slightly, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
Then he heard Zhao Ning whispering in his ear, repeating what Lu Hanhe's disciple or bloodline said at the time.
When Qin Keyuan heard this, he felt a little...
Zhao Ning carefully observed his expression. Although his face was expressionless, the darkness in his eyes was probably the same as when Zhong Huanyuan was interrupted by Lu Hanhe that day.
So much so that Zhao Ning whispered into his arms and smiled, her shoulders shaking a bit.
Qin Keyuan patted Zhao Ning's back to signal Zhao Ning.
Zhao Ning suppressed her laughter and pretended that nothing happened.
She didn't know whether it was to add fuel to the fire, or to change the subject by seriously recalling the past, but she said, "Zhao Ning's wish was to become a disciple of his uncle."
Zhao Ning stared at him and her words were so sincere that Qin Keyuan seemed to recall all the events in Qingxiao Sect from her eyes, as well as Zhao Ning taking him deep into the cave after the Qingxiao Sect's demon slaying incident. Hiding, Xiaozhao shed tears at that time, begging him to hold on, saying that she had not become a disciple yet.
At this moment, when Qin Keyuan thought about it again, he suddenly felt a little dazed, accompanied by some unexplained emotion at the time.
Zhao Ning wondered why Qin Keyuan remained silent, so he asked, "Uncle Master, if those things hadn't happened back then, would you have accepted Zhao Ning as your disciple?"
Zhao Ning came closer, probably out of genuine curiosity. Back then, under the arrangement of the sect, she almost really wanted to become Qin Keyuan's sect. Only the two of them had to tell the matter openly on Ming Road, but she was still disturbed by various changes. .
At this moment, Zhao Ning also felt a little dazed. She suddenly thought again, if it had not been such a coincidence, if the changes in Qingxiao Sect had not happened, if they had become master and disciple, would they still have this kind of intimacy now?
Probably not. Zhao Ning responded silently in her heart.
I don't know if this kind of mood was sensed by Qin Keyuan, and he suddenly closed the distance of intimacy, grinding his lips and teeth together with a bit of punishment.
For a moment, Zhao Ning's affirmative response was replaced by a bit of hesitation.
I don’t know how long it took, but it was probably because the intimate time was too long.
Zhao Ning pushed, her consciousness conveying her thoughts, "Uncle Master, you haven't answered my question yet."
The dampness and heat spread to Zhao Ning's earlobes, and she heard a helpless sigh, "Zhao Ning, when are you going to change your name?"
