Chapter 0834: Siege caused by the array pattern
Before Ning Cheng could finish his jade strip, he felt the space surrounding him fluctuate. He rushed out of the room instinctively, but the next moment, the cabin erupted with a bright light before disappearing into the void.
The cabin escaped into the void? Ning Cheng understood a few things and quickly looked in the opposite direction, and found only one of the two huge starry sky battleships still present on the public square. As for the other one, it had disappeared without a trace.
Ning Cheng quickly rushed towards the remaining battleship and carefully scrutinised it. Fortunately, nothing had happened to the battleship, and everything inside of it also remained untouched.
Apart from old man Kong He and his battleship that disappeared from the public square, the other thing this place used to contain was the cabin filled with information. However, it had also disappeared.
Because Ning Cheng had immersed himself in imprinting a jade strip with his deductions inside the wooden house, he didnât consider that such a thing would happen. Now that he sobered up, he quickly understood why it happened.
That old man Kong He truly didnât have a good heart at all. Kong He allowed him to study the scientific and technological information he had collected within the wooden house. But the knowledge inside was a fusion of technology and artefact-crafting. Apart from a top-grade Weapon Emperor, nobody else could have comprehended even a part of the information within two years.
Besides, even if one were a Weapon Emperor, if this person didnât have a mighty Sea of Consciousness and comprehension ability, this person wouldnât be able to understand the information inside it.
In other words, replaced by an ordinary person, he or she wouldnât have understood any of the knowledge inside the cabin before Kong He swept it away.
Fortunately, Kong He didnât know that Ning Cheng was also a highly accomplished Weapon Emperor, let alone know about his Sea of Consciousness. Replaced by anyone else, they probably couldnât have comprehended even one hundred thousandths of the information within these two years. It was also the primary reason why Kong He made such a generous offer.
From the looks of it, Kong He already had planned it all out. That is, once Kong He completed his battleship, he would immediately leave this place. And since that cabin was his blood, sweat and tears, Kong He naturally wouldnât leave it behind.
After understanding this, Ning Cheng nearly raised his middle finger to Kong He with contempt.
Fortunately, even though Kong He was very stingy about that thing, he at least wasnât a truly disgusting person. At least he didnât leave with both battleships. If Kong He had decided to go with both battleships, it would have left Ning Cheng with no alternative.
After understanding Kong Heâs thoughts, Ning Cheng no longer felt the need to give Kong He what he understood.
Ning Cheng didnât stay here to finish perfecting this top-grade starry sky battleship. Instead, he put away the starry sky battleship and left Kong He Emperor Mountain. With his current ability, he could complete this starry sky battleship without any help. But it would take a considerable amount of time. As for Sifting Orchid, Ning Cheng could now restore it to its original state at any time without much effort.
Therefore, he decided to repair it slowly after he returned to Stately River Star.
âŠâŠ
Pill Rice Celestial River was the most famous technological celestial river among the four grand starry skies. Most of this celestial riverâs planets and stars followed the path of technology, engaging in the specialised production-related activities. Moreover, laser weapons and various battleships were their best-selling items, along with planetary space locking equipment.
Grand Nursing Star, where Ning Cheng went before, was Pill Rice Celestial Riverâs most famous starry sky battleship production star. Even compared to the rest of the Pill Rice Celestial River, Grand Nursing Star far outclassed every other place when it came to starry sky battleship production.
However, not all planets and stars within the Pill Rice Celestial River were purely technological planets. At least Sifting Forest Star wasnât one. Sifting Forest Star had a large number of starry sky sects, similar to other sects found in different grand starry skies. In other words, one would mainly find starry sky cultivators within this star. However, they still used technological products for some activities. Primarily, however, they used these technology-focused products for auxiliary support in cultivation.
Rainbowfall Sword Sect wasnât a prominent sect within Sifting Forest Star, at best it was only a very ordinary sect. Even its current sect master, Sect Master Xian Chanxu, was only a Heavenâs Mandate cultivator. Even the sectâs most powerful cultivator, Elder Yu Bo, hadnât come out in ages. People had only heard that he had reached the late-stage Life and Death Realm, but it was only a rumour without any evidence.
Ning Cheng had never been to the starry skyâs Rainbowfall Sword Sect before. But he could judge from Feng Kaiâs posture in front of Liang Qiurui that Rainbowfall Sword Sect wasnât a dominant sect within Sifting Forest Star.
But now that Ning Cheng came to Rainbowfall Sword Sect, he felt that his initial conjecture might have been a wrong one. Rainbowfall Sword Sect didnât seem to be a small one, at least the area occupied by the sect looked and felt quite right. It had abundant Starry Sky Spirit Qi, and the mountain range surrounding it formed a naturally defensive array.
What surprised Ning Cheng, even more, was that the entrance of Rainbowfall Sword Sect looked very lively and crowded. If it were a makeshift marketâs entrance, Ning Cheng wouldnât have felt surprised. But as a sect entrance, he saw all kinds of miscellaneous people coming in and out of it. Moreover, the two sect disciples guarding the gate didnât seem to care about it all, which made Ning Cheng a little puzzled.
Ning Cheng walked through the defensive array around the Rainbowfall Sword Sect along with the many other cultivators who entered and exited. As expected, no one came forward to stop him or even used their spiritual consciousness to look at him.
Was Rainbowfall Sword Sect open to outsiders to such an extent? Ning Chengâs spiritual consciousness swept out and quickly scanned the rest of the sect grounds. Soon, he saw the Rainbowfall Sword Stone. This Rainbowfall Sword Stone, however, was much larger than the one in Graceful Star Mainland. Even he couldnât figure out if Graceful Star Mainland imitated the sword stone here, or if the sword stone here was an imitation of the one in Graceful Star Mainland.
Just past the sword stone, he saw millions of cultivators packed together over Rainbowfall Sword Sectâs public square. In the middle of the public square, however, was a duelling platform. The duelling platform had a few ordinary restrictions around it, with two male cultivators fighting each other in what appeared to be a serious fight.
Right above the Rainbowfall Sword Sectâs sword stone, he also saw a few people sitting, who Ning Cheng guessed as the various heads and elders of the sect. Ning Chengâs spiritual consciousness swept through them lightly and found quite a few Eternal cultivators among them.
Was the Rainbowfall Sword Sect this powerful? Did it truly have so many Eternal cultivators?
Ning Cheng initially thought that it was just a regular sect competition or maybe a grudge match between two sect disciples. But when one of the fighters beheaded the other, he understood that it wasnât a competition but a deathmatch.
âRound seven, Rainbowfall Sword Sectâs Shang Yongzhan fell, Constellation Sectâs Fu Xu wins.â With the announcement, Ning Cheng realised that Rainbowfall Sword Sectâs disciples were fighting against disciples of other sects. And that, Rainbowfall Sword Sect suffered a loss.
But Ning Cheng quickly noticed something wrong about the whole situation. He immediately pulled a Celestial Shatterer cultivator next to him and asked, âMy friend, I just came here. May I ask why Rainbowfall Sword Sectâs disciples are fighting against disciples from Constellation Sect over the duelling platform?â
This Celestial Shatterer cultivator could feel that Ning Cheng was someone much stronger than him. Therefore, he didnât dare show any neglect and replied. âMy friend, what you said isnât correct. Rainbowfall Sword Sectâs disciples arenât just fighting against disciples from Constellation Sect. Rather, itâs a competition between seven forces. Rainbowfall Sword Sectâs disciples are fighting against disciples from Constellation Sect, Scarlet Cloud Faction, Green Feather Spirit Religion, Void Border Gate, Universal Development Sect and Blue River Mountain.â
âWhy?â Ning Cheng felt even more baffled. Since it was a battle between seven factions, why put the battlefield in the middle of Rainbowfall Sword Sect?
The cultivator whispered, âI heard that itâs because Rainbowfall Sword Sectâs Liang Yi and Feng Kai joined forces to kill Universal Development Sectâs Liang Qiurui. They had even snatched a treasure from his body. Universal Development Sect immediately came here with big fanfare demanding Rainbowfall Sword Sect compensate the Universal Development Sect for its loss. Universal Development Sect claimed that the treasure stolen by Feng Kai was something extraordinary and asked Rainbowfall Sword Sect to surrender its Rainbowfall Mystic Realm.â
âRainbowfall Mystic Realm?â Ning Cheng frowned and asked again.
âItâs only the cultivation mystic realm of my Rainbowfall Sword Sect and also the source of my Rainbowfall Sword Sectâs starry sky spirit grasses. Those people are just too shameless and want to grab it for themselvesâŠ..â A teeth-grinding voice emerged from behind Ning Cheng.
Hearing this voice, the Celestial Shatterer cultivator who just explained a few things to Ning Cheng stopped answering Ning Chengâs questions and quickly squeezed into the crowd.
âAre you from the Rainbowfall Sword Sect?â Ning Cheng asked, looking back at the young woman behind him.
This young woman had hatred clouding her eyes, but wore a snow-white robe and similarly white-coloured accessories over her head. If one talked about a fusion between pretty and filial piety, this woman vividly reflected it with her attire.
However, Ning Cheng could tell that this young woman dressed in white, not to look pretty, but rather more out of filial piety. Plus, from the anger and hate in her eyes, he understood that something terrible had happened to someone dear to her.
The young woman glanced at Ning Cheng with a cold gaze before turning around and leaving. She didnât bother to answer Ning Chengâs question.
âRound 8, Rainbowfall Sword Sectâs Ru Yanhong fell, Green Feather Spirit Religionâs Kang Ke winsâŠ.â At this time, another announcement came from the battle ring.
Ning Cheng felt even more troubled by it. Why have Rainbowfall Sword Sectâs disciples fallen twice in a row?
âEight people from Rainbowfall Sword Sect have already fallen, do they still want to continue?â Someone in the crowd whispered, but Ning Cheng heard it. From this, Ning Cheng understood that someone wanted to put pressure on Rainbowfall Sword Sect.
He quickly speeded up and caught up with the pretty young woman in white robes and said, âThis Junior Apprentice Sister, Iâm also a disciple of Rainbowfall Sword Sect. Feng Kai and I know each other, may I know where Feng Kai is right now?â
The young woman stopped and looked at Ning Cheng in confusion. After a while, she frowned and said, âSince youâre a disciple from my Rainbowfall Sword Sect, donât you know that Feng Kai has already died?â
âFeng Kai died?â Ning Cheng asked in surprise.
The young woman in white robes could tell that Ning Cheng wasnât pretending. Therefore, she said, âWhich peak do you belong to? Did you just return to the sect? Otherwise, how could you not know what happened right in front of the sectâs entrance?â
Ning Cheng vaguely guessed that this matter might have something to do with that array pattern. Therefore, he suppressed the murderous spirit surging within him and asked. âIâm not a disciple of Sifting Forest Starâs Rainbowfall Sword Sect, but Graceful Star Mainlandâs Rainbowfall Sword Sect. I met Feng Kai two years ago. At that time, Universal Development Sectâs Liang Qiurui was chasing after him, and I helped Feng Kai kill Liang Qiurui. Later, Feng Kai gave me an item and said that it was an item obtained by Rainbowfall Sword Sectâs disciple Liang Yi. Initially, I came here to meet up with him as promised, but now I want to know who killed Feng Kai.â
âYou were the one who took that thing?â The young woman in white robes exclaimed in surprise.
âWhat the hell is going on?â Ning Chengâs tone immediately turned sharp.
The young woman in white robes gave Ning Cheng a respectful bow, âGreetings, Senior Apprentice Brother. Iâm Yu Yayun, Liang Yiâs dao companion. After Feng Kai returned, he gave me some cultivation resources and then immediately went into seclusion. I never had the chance to ask him anything. However, a year later, Universal Development Sect came to my Rainbowfall Sword Sect and forced us to give up Feng Kai.â
âFeng Kai told me about Liang Yiâs death before he left, but we heard no news about him after they took him away. Iâm afraid he has already fallen. I think he did not divulge that Senior Apprentice Brother took that thing. Otherwise, Universal Development Sect would have known about it. But now, six different forces besiege my Rainbowfall Sword Sect. Iâm afraid that after todayâs battles, Rainbowfall Sword Sect will gradually die out. Senior Apprentice Brother, since you come from the same ancestral sect as our ancestors, you should leave this place quickly.â
In Yu Yayunâs view, since Ning Cheng could kill Liang Qiurui, someone with Heavenâs Mandate cultivation, it meant that Ning Chengâs cultivation surpassed hers. It was also the reason why she addressed Ning Cheng as âSenior Apprentice Brotherâ.
Ning Cheng waved his hand, âWeâll talk about other things later. I heard that it was a competition between seven forces, so why did it become six sects besieging Rainbowfall Sword Sect?â
