The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 430 - 253 Relentless Pursuit_2

Seeing him relax, Ning Xiaoxian walked back, picked up the blue fragment and examined it intently before saying, "Twenty spirit stones."

The stall owner reluctantly said, "Miss, you’re cutting the price too harshly. After all, this is a high-level magical artifact fragment."

She sneered, "A fragment of a magic artifact? I bet you’ve tried melting it in True Fire, but to no avail, right? Neither you nor I know which magical artifact this fragment fell off from, no matter how powerful it originally was, now it’s just a piece of junk! My offer of twenty spirit stones is already very generous!"

The stall owner knew she was speaking the truth. Ever since he came upon it accidentally, he had tried cutting it with knives, axes, melting it with water and fire, all to no avail; its identity still unknown, what use was it no matter how extraordinary? Seeing Ning Xiaoxian’s intention, she smiled and said, "How about this, I will buy ten more top-grade Flame Burst Talismans, and take this fragment for forty spirit stones in total."

The stall owner reluctantly agreed, so after the transaction of the goods and silver taels, the fragment ended up in her hands. In fact, neither she nor anyone in the God Demon Prison knew what magical artifact this fragment might have come from, but no matter, she had her uses for it.

She was delighted, but unexpectedly someone blocked her way. The blocker seemed especially worried she would run away, with people surrounding her from front, back, left, and right, closing her in the middle.

The foremost person among them had dark skin, his chin squarely shaped; it was none other than Old K from Tianlan Courtyard! These persistent ghosts had actually followed her here! Ning Xiaoxian’s expression darkened. The other party had only seriously injured her a few days ago, how could she forget the pain and humiliation? She had sworn an oath that one day she would take revenge, yet before she could seek them out, they had come to her instead.

She glanced sideways at Old K and said, "What, not up for a six against one today?" Today, including Old K himself, there were only four people, two less than before.

Old K’s complexion was even worse than if he had taken drugs and then not slept well for seventy or eighty days, his eyelids were all bruised, his eyes bloodshot and ugly. Ning Xiaoxian took a couple more glances at him, shuddering inwardly, wondering what he had suffered. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Old K glared at her and coldly said, "What exactly is your scheme?" His voice sounded rusty.

"Scheme?" She was puzzled, "You hurt me and then you come asking if I have a scheme? Are you stealing my lines?"

Old K said sternly, "Don’t be pretentious. After you ordered the White Bird to steal the Shadow Reflection Jade, I received a flying message from my sect yesterday. A treasure guarded by the Great Formation has been stolen!" Meanwhile, a number of disciples were killed or injured, one of whom died on the spot, nominally his many-times-great-nephew but actually his own flesh and blood. It had been many hundreds of years since Old K had a descendant, and his confusion upon the sudden loss drove him to madness, swearing that the thief must be executed.

This was an accusation she couldn’t bear. Ning Xiaoxian’s expression also sank as she said, "Old K Face, after the injury, I flew west on the bird the entire time, and even by timeline calculations, I had no time to return to your sect to steal the treasure! Was your head clamped by a door or kicked by a donkey, not even able to calculate this clear fact?" The other party clearly was not willing to let things go, and she didn’t need to be polite with this bunch of idiots.

Old K angrily said, "Demoness, you must have conspired with accomplices to steal the treasure, hand over the treasures of my sect now, perhaps your life might be spared!" But secretly, he had resolved that regardless of whether she handed it over or not, he would kill both her and the bird today.

Ning Xiaoxian huffed lightly, no longer intending to argue with him. This man had developed a fixation, unable to believe that someone else could have acted against his sect; talking more with him was just wasting words. But as she stepped forward, the few people surrounded her even tighter.

The cultivators passing by also sensed trouble brewing and dispersed, leaving them space.

Ning Xiaoxian was not afraid. "This is Guangcheng Palace, are you not afraid of being thrown out by the host for causing trouble here?"

Old K said coldly, "I’d rather offend Guangcheng Palace first, and capture this demon, then go and apologize to the host later!" In his haste and anger, he spoke recklessly. There were many demons present in Duobao Pavilion at the moment; hearing the word "demon", their faces didn’t look good.

Ning Xiaoxian held four newly bought Flame Burst Talismans in her hand and secretly sent a command to Qi Zai, but laughed out loud, "Old fellow, I want to see how much more essence blood you’re going to spit today!" Old K had previously used his essence blood to operate the Magical Artifact, barely managing to injure her who had just reached the Great Success Stage and had already lost face; now, discerning the barbed tone in her words, he knew he couldn’t outtalk her and avoided further conversation, simply ordering his subordinates: "Take action!"

He was a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, the remaining three cultivators being one Golden Core Stage and two Foundation Establishment Stage. As they prepared to act upon his command, the girl across them had already thrown out two Flame Burst Talismans ahead. These talismans were no ordinary items, each valued at three hundred spirit stones. As they exploded, the blast wave instantly swept through their small piece of sky. As the three were about to dodge, Ning Xiaoxian waved her hand, turning Tusk into a pale white light beam, shooting straight for Old K’s face.

His scale weighing magical artifact had been broken by this peculiar dagger and had not yet been repaired. Seeing the dagger slashing toward him, he hesitated momentarily before using his sword to block. The attack he had intended for Ning Xiaoxian failed to launch. Little did he know that upon his block, the dagger disappeared, and when he looked up, he saw Ning Xiaoxian, swiftly moving, clenching a second dagger. She threw her hand again, making him raise his sword to block, only then realizing she was just feinting; her hands were empty, nothing had been thrown.

This girl, she had tricked him again! (To be continued. If you like this work, we welcome you to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
