Douluo: Wuhun Seven Killing Sword, Sword Opens the Gate of Heaven

Chapter 282: Ghostly Wind Demon; Snow Mountain Sect’s First Genius
"What's wrong?" Ning Rongrong noticed his expression and became alert.

In the corner, sat an inconspicuous man.

This person was the one Ning Tianchen met in the Killing Town.

At first, with Dugu Bo by his side, he didn't have to be afraid of the other party. But now, there is no one to protect them.

How could he be a match for a Soul Douluo with a strange spirit?

At the table on the other side, a group of big men were sitting together.

Seeing the performance of Ning Tianchen and others, one of them said: "Boss, those two people noticed us."

The leading man sneered, "So what if they were discovered? They had the chance to escape, but they chose to stay. In this case, it is a blessing for us brothers."

"Boss, let's do it?"

"Don't worry, they can't run away. Since this is the last meal before execution, we have to let them eat enough."

This group of people spoke loudly and without reservation.

Ning Tianchen frowned, as if he was afraid of them.

"Rongrong, the guy in the corner is a powerful Soul Douluo. I don't know his position. Once we start fighting, I will do my best to hold him back. You run as far as you can towards the south. Don't look back."

Ning Rongrong shook her head and said with a firm look in her eyes: "No, I will never abandon you. We must die together."

As they were talking, a voice floated into their ears:

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you so pessimistic? You can come out of that kind of place, but you're afraid that I'll eat you?"

The man sitting in the corner had a faint smile on his face.

The voice just now was spoken by him through the telepathic line.

Ning Tianchen frowned at him, as if to say, "What do you want!"

The man said unhappily, "You want to see me, but you ask me what I want?"

Ning Tianchen and Ning Rongrong looked at each other and felt confused.

He doesn't know the other person, so why would he take the initiative to find the other person?

Besides, the original Killing Town was far away from the Snowfield Town, so how could the other party’s activity area be so large?
The man sneered and reminded, "You are holding my sect's token and showing off like that. Are you worried that I won't recognize you?"

"I'll be waiting outside. This hotel is owned by the Snow Mountain Sect. After you've dealt with your problem, come out and see me."

After saying this, his body turned into a pool of flowing black shadow and disappeared on the spot.

It was such a false alarm. I didn't expect the other party to be from the Snow Mountain Sect.

Ning Tianchen breathed a sigh of relief.

After figuring out it was a misunderstanding, the worry on his face immediately disappeared, and all that was left was to deal with the guys behind him.

After finishing the wine in the glass, he disappeared from the spot.

His body shuttled through the crowd like a ghost, and every time the sword fell, a head fell to the ground.

The faces of the people who were severed looked terrified. It was obvious that they did not expect Ning Tianchen to suddenly take action and be so powerful.

Ning Tianchen did not hold back and took care of them all in a few breaths.

These guys who make a living by robbing people on the road must have countless blood on their hands and they don't deserve any sympathy.

……

Seeing the two of them coming out, the man outside the house said with admiration: "That day I saw you were only a Soul King, but it has only been a short time and you have actually broken through to the Soul Emperor."

Ning Tianchen cupped his hands, "What's your name, Senior?"

The man said, "Ghost~Wind Demon. Hmm, I'm curious, how did you get the token of my sect?"

Ning Tianchen said calmly: "During the Soul Master Competition, I had some exchanges with your sect's academy team. This token was given to me by Tian Chao himself, asking me to come here to find him when I am free in the future."

Feng Mo took the token, examined it carefully, and then agreed with his words, "So you are his friend. I just haven't returned to the sect for a few years, but I didn't expect that he would make a friend like you."

"Next, what do you want to do? Take you to see him?"

Ning Tianchen asked: "Senior Feng, do you know where he is?"

Fengmo shook his head.

He had not returned to the sect for a long time, so how could he know Tian Chao's situation.

Ning Tianchen: "Then Senior Feng, do you know where Elder Tian Chen is?"

Feng Mo was surprised. "Tian Chen actually took the initiative to reveal his name. Well, since your token was given to you by Tian Chao himself, I will take you to the sect. The sect will definitely be able to find out about the movements of these two people."

Entering the Snow Mountain Sect would be of great help to them in completing their mission. Ning Tianchen certainly would not refuse.

The one who brought Feng Mo into the sect was an elder of the Snow Mountain Sect, so there would be no problem in bringing them into the sect. But what surprised Ning Tianchen was that Tian Chao had such a big face.

With just a token, outsiders can enter the sect. Tian Chao's position in the sect must be extraordinary.

Ning Tianchen bowed and said, "Thank you for leading the way, Senior."

Feng Mo said indifferently: "He only invited you, your companion..."

Ning Tianchen said without hesitation, "Her name is Ning Rongrong, and she is my fiancée."

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong blushed and subconsciously took his arm.

Feng Mo nodded his head several times, seeing the relationship between the two, "Okay, follow me."

……

In order to prevent the location of the sect’s headquarters from being exposed, Fengmo took the two of them and deliberately took a few laps in the snow outside the town.

When Ning Tianchen and the other two were confused, he led them towards the sect.

After all, the Snow Mountain Sect is a hidden sect, so it is normal that they don't want outsiders to know where their base is. Ning Tianchen had already seen through Feng Mo's thoughts and was not displeased by it.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, when the two were exhausted, a snowy mountain appeared before them.

Looking up, you can clearly see the shadows of buildings halfway up the mountain and on the top of the mountain.

"The sect is on the mountain. Do you still have strength?" Feng Mo asked with a smile.

Ning Tianchen nodded.

Fengmo led them forward.

There is an archway at the foot of the mountain with three big characters "Xueshan Sect" engraved on it.

However, it is not the commonly used font on Douluo Continent, but ancient characters.

Behind the archway, there is a spiral staircase, which seems to be the only way to climb the snow-capped mountains.

There was a thick layer of white snow on the stairs, and it was very likely that you would slip if you stepped on it.

Ning Tianchen felt very uncomfortable due to the cold weather, but he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't slip.

So, he summoned the Seven Killing Sword spirit, took Ning Rongrong and flew close to the ground, and followed Feng Mo up the mountain.

After about an incense stick of time, we climbed to the halfway point of the mountain.

What is surprising is that the entire waist of the snow mountain is hollowed out, and from a distance, there are countless houses in the caves.

There is an arena in the middle of this group of houses for the disciples of the Snow Mountain Sect to use for sparring.

Feng Mo said: "You can visit here at will. The top of the mountain is the sect's important place. Outsiders are not allowed to enter without the permission of the sect master. I will go up first to report the situation, and someone will come to find you later."

Ning Tianchen nodded in agreement, and then took Ning Rongrong into the cave to avoid the cold.

There is a light source in the cave. There is a huge opening on the top, through which sunlight from outside can shine in.

The mountain blocks the cold air from outside, making the cave very warm.

Seeing outsiders, the disciples of the Snow Mountain Sect came over curiously.

Except for Feng Mo, all the people in the Snow Mountain Sect are tall. Even a ten-year-old child is about the same height as Ning Tianchen.

They seemed to be in a land of giants. Unless they raised their heads, they could not see the faces of these people at all.

"Hello, friends."

Surprisingly, the disciples of the Snow Mountain Sect did not seem to be xenophobic, nor did they treat them as invaders, but greeted them warmly.

"Hello." Ning Tianchen and the other man raised their heads and waved.

"Would you like a drink, buddy?"

Without waiting for their consent, the enthusiastic disciples of the Snow Mountain Sect carried them both and walked towards the depths of the cave.

What is amazing is that they not only hollowed out the middle of the mountain, but the entire mountain.

Walking down the stairs, the cave is not only illuminated by soul guides, but also has a variety of entertainment venues and houses, making it like a paradise.

"I now understand why the disciples of these hidden sects never leave the sect's headquarters in their entire lives, yet never feel bored." Ning Rongrong said with a wry smile.

If the most prosperous street in Tiandou City was moved into the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, Ning Rongrong would be able to stay in the sect for the rest of her life.

Of course, the secluded sect is not completely isolated from the world.

How could the soul master cultivate the land? The food in the sect must be bought from the outside world. Maybe they have special people running businesses outside to ensure logistics for the sect.

The two were taken to a tavern, and the enthusiastic disciples of the Snow Mountain Sect prepared a large wine cup for each of them.

The diameter of the wine cup is almost the same as Ning Rongrong's waist circumference.

"Sorry, my friend, we don't have small cups here. Drink as much as you can. Come on!" Ning Rongrong tugged at Ning Tianchen's sleeve.

After drinking such a big glass of wine, wouldn't her stomach be broken?
After a lot of explanation, this group of disciples were willing to "let Ning Rongrong go", but Ning Tianchen was not so lucky.

……

The main hall of Snow Mountain Sect.

Feng Mo pushed open the door of the hall and bowed slightly towards the high seat, "Sect Master, Tian Chao's guest is here."

Tian Chao invited Ning Tianchen and others, and gave them a disciple order, promising to report the matter to the sect master.

It didn't seem strange for him to say that.

The man on the high seat nodded slightly, indicating that he knew about this.

Tian Chao and Tian Guocheng, who were waiting on the side, were delighted. "He really came. Sect Master, we want to go."

Before they could finish, the man on the high seat agreed to their request and added: "Bring them to see me in one day."

The two men retreated in response.

Fengmo did not leave, but reported the information he had obtained outside over the years.

Tian Chao and Tian Guocheng walked quickly down the mountain, followed by a tall man.

"Guo Cheng, is that the first genius of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect that you mentioned?"

Tian Chao turned around and said respectfully, "Guo Zhen, that's true. Although we lost in the top six in the Soul Master Competition, the Qibao team led by Ning Tianchen defeated the Wuhun Hall team and won the championship. After so many days, his strength should have improved a lot."

Tian Guozhen is the number one genius in the Snow Mountain Sect.

As a genius, he naturally wanted to compete with other geniuses to see who was better.

After getting the answer he wanted, Tian Guozhen passed the two of them and rushed down the mountain.

Tian Chao said awkwardly: "Guocheng, Ning Tianchen is our invited friend after all. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to spar with him right after he arrived?"

Tian Guocheng nodded in agreement.

The two reached a consensus and quickly caught up.

Tian Guozhen must be held down at all costs.

Inside the tavern.

Ning Tianchen waved his hand and pushed away the wine cup in front of him.

"I'm sorry, I just can't drink any more."

When he drank, he used his soul power to sober up, so he didn't get drunk. But given his physique, no matter how much he drank, he couldn't drink more than the big guy two meters away.

Outside, Tian Chao and the other two asked around and found Ning Tianchen's location.

After all, the Snow Mountain Sect would not allow outsiders to enter once a year, so the sect's disciples were naturally curious about outsiders.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the tavern.

Seeing Tian Guozhen, the disciples immediately retreated.

Ning Tianchen said unhappily: "Tian Chao, I want to see you, but it's not easy."

Tian Chao laughed and said, "Haha, everyone rarely sees outsiders, so of course they are very enthusiastic when they see your face."

Ning Tianchen waved his hands and used his soul power to quickly metabolize the alcohol in his body.

Seeing that his feeling of fullness had disappeared, Tian Guozhen immediately said: "Since you are fine now, let's go to the ring and have a fight."

"Who is this?" Ning Tianchen was puzzled.

Tian Chao hurriedly introduced, "This is Tian Guozhen, the one I told you about. He is also the sect's number one genius. Haha, I think you two have a lot to talk about. However, since you just arrived today, we have to do our part as hosts. Guozhen, let's talk about this another day."

Tian Guozhen did not express his opinion, but did not refuse. It seems that he agreed to Tian Chao's proposal.

Under Tian Chao's arrangement, Ning Tianchen and Ning Rongrong moved into an unused house.

Tian Guocheng suggested: "It's still early today, I'll take you around the sect?"

Ning Tianchen nodded: "Okay, I also have something to ask you."

Ning Fengzhi had always been thinking about the internal ranking of the Snow Mountain Sect. Today, he finally had the opportunity to find out the situation.

"The sect's ranking is based on talent and potential. Elder Tian Chen, whom you have met, ranks sixteenth, and the oldest Fengmo ranks twelfth." The speaker was Tian Guozhen. He felt that this was not a sect secret and there was no need to hide it.

Ning Tianchen looked at Tian Chao, "What's your ranking?"

Tian Chao said awkwardly: "I am ranked 14th, Guo Cheng is 20th, and Guo Zhen is second, just after the clan leader."

Ning Tianchen made a judgment in his mind.

This ranking is taken very seriously by the disciples of Tianshan Sect, and it is by no means useless. It is very likely that the right to speak in the Snow Mountain Sect is based on this ranking.

Tian Chao explained, "Friend, although my ranking is higher than Elder Tian Chen, I did not participate in the decision-making of sect affairs during the Soul Master Competition. I have already told the sect master about your previous proposal. Tomorrow, the sect master will summon you."

Ning Tianchen pressed his shoulders and whispered in his ear, "Tell me the truth, does your sect plan to cooperate with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?"

Tian Chao shook his head.

When it comes to important matters of the sect, only the sect leader can make the decision, no one else can.

He is not a worm in the sect leader's stomach, so how would he know these things?

Next, the two, led by Tian Chao, visited the Snow Mountain Sect’s headquarters.

Judging from the geographical environment, the Snow Mountain Sect is definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

How could someone who didn't know the situation know that the entire mountain had been hollowed out?

Whether climbing up the stairs below or flying up, it is unrealistic to face a sect guarded by a Titled Douluo.

……

They continued their tour until dark. Ning Tianchen and Ning Rongrong saw that there was nothing left to see, so they returned to their rooms to rest.

"The customs of this sect are completely different from those in the south. They are too enthusiastic."

Ning Rongrong leaned on the bed and rubbed her neck.

Keeping her head up for a long time made her neck extremely uncomfortable.

Ning Tianchen was not surprised. "People in the north like to drink wine, not tea. You should be able to feel that after drinking wine, your body will be much warmer."

"When you drink too much, once the alcohol takes effect, your personality will naturally become bolder."

After a pause, he said, "Rest early. You still have to meet the Snow Mountain Sect Master tomorrow. Rongrong, this time, you are the sect's envoy, so you have to think of your words carefully."

After saying that, Ning Tianchen walked into the room on the other side.

Everything in the Snow Mountain Sect was oversized, which made them somewhat uncomfortable.

Ning Tianchen did not sleep in the room, but instead practiced the Killing God Realm.

At present, his domain is no longer in its initial state. After his practice, his domain can suppress the opponent's strength by 15% and increase his overall strength by 15%.

He spread out the killing field, controlled the scope of the field within a two-meter radius, and began to practice.

……

At noon the next day, someone knocked on the door of the wing room.

"I know you're not asleep. Come with me to the martial arts arena for a sparring match." Tian Guozhen's hurried voice came from outside the door.

After daybreak, he would have to go meet the leader of the Snow Mountain Sect. Fighting with him now, regardless of whether he won or lost, would have a certain impact on the subsequent negotiations.

He didn't know the temperament of the Snow Mountain Sect Master and was a little unsure.

However, Tian Guozhen ranks second in the Snow Mountain Sect, and if you offend him, you will still be obstructed.

After thinking about it, Ning Tianchen decided to fight.

Even geniuses have to compete with each other. With Iida Kunima's personality, if his ability is recognized by the other party, the other party may even speak for him.

"Wait a moment, I'll be right there."

Seeing that Ning Rongrong had not woken up, Ning Tianchen quietly walked out of the door and followed her to the martial arts arena.

It was still dark, and apart from some disciples who had gotten up early to practice, not many people were walking around in the Snow Mountain Sect.

Ning Tianchen originally thought that the other party would take him to the arena he saw when he came here, but in the end he was taken to the edge of a cliff.

Sweeping the snow on the ground with my feet, I could vaguely see that this was also an arena.

I leaned over and looked down the cliff. There was a deep abyss with no bottom in sight.

"Aren't you afraid of falling?" Ning Tianchen asked.

He has the ability to fly, and will not fall off the cliff unless his soul power is exhausted.

Tian Guozhen said indifferently: "If you are afraid, we can change the arena. But I will make you look weak!"

Ning Tianchen sneered, "Okay, just don't regret it. Tell me, where is the boundary of the arena!"

Tian Guozhen drew a line in front of the cliff and used several stones as marks.

As for the other boundary of the ring, it was naturally the cliff. Falling off the cliff meant failure. But the price of failure seemed a bit high.

Tian Guozhen activated his martial soul, and six yellow, purple and black soul rings flickered under his feet, revealing the strength of a level 64 Soul Emperor.
