Junior sister took first place again

"Thank you, Immortal Ning, for saving me!"

After escaping the predicament, several disciples from aristocratic families bowed to her and spoke sincerely.

Ning Jiasheng waved his hand, "No need to be polite, just leave here."

She turned to leave, but heard a voice behind her: "Ning Xianjun, please wait a moment!"

She turned around and saw that the disciples looked troubled. One of them stepped forward and said cautiously:

"Immortal Ning, we..."

She gritted her teeth and said, "We don't have the energy to leave this area anymore. Could you please lead us for a while? Once we reach a safe place, we will leave naturally and will not cause you any trouble."

After saying that, Gao Mi lowered his head in shame.

They say they don't want to cause trouble, but in fact they are the trouble themselves.

After saving the person, not only did he say a superficial thank you, but he also became more demanding and continued to follow the person.

The faces of the others also turned red, and their eyes were full of anxiety.

Ning Jiasheng looked over and saw a hint of pleading in their eyes. They seemed to be hesitant to speak for a long time, and finally covered their faces and bowed to her.

Ning Jiasheng looked around at them, was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, follow me."

Several disciples were overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, Immortal Lord!"

"Thank you, Immortal Lord!"

Then he quickly picked up the unconscious Liu Shumo and followed Ning Jiasheng.

In the Jindan realm, being able to follow a master like Ning Jiasheng is undoubtedly the safest.

Ning Jiasheng didn't ask what happened to them, and silently led them back to the cliff.

This cliff is at least one thousand meters away from the mountain opposite. There is nothing in between, and the cliff walls are so smooth that not a single blade of grass can be seen.

There was a cloud of mist below, and nothing could be seen clearly. Ning Jiasheng could not see the bottom even when he probed with his spiritual sense. If he fell in, he would probably suffer.

But having come this far, everyone has no way to retreat and can only move forward no matter what.

There are restrictions in this area and you can't fly at all. If you want to go to the other side, you have to find the hidden road.

Ning Jiasheng stood on the edge of the cliff with a sword in his hand, searching the cliff carefully for possible hidden paths.

Her spiritual sense spread out like a large net, covering the entire cliff, carefully feeling the flow of spiritual power, not missing any details.

"You guys wait for me here."

She suddenly spoke to several disciples, then began to walk along the edge of the cliff, her fingers gently touching the rocks on the cliff.

After a while, Ning Jiasheng stopped on a seemingly ordinary rock.

She pressed gently and rotated it a bit. The rock made a slight cracking sound and then slowly caved inward.

Immediately afterwards, a stone bridge slowly extended from the cliff one or two meters below and spanned the cliff.

"follow me."

Ning Jiasheng turned around and spoke to several disciples, then jumped down first and walked onto the stone bridge.

Several disciples looked at Ning Jiasheng in surprise, with admiration rising in their hearts. They did not expect that Immortal Ning would find a way to cross the cliff so quickly.

The disciples looked at Ning Jiasheng gratefully, and then quickly followed.

Ning Jiasheng led several disciples onto the stone bridge, taking cautious and steady steps.

The stone bridge spans a bottomless cliff, with clouds and mist swirling below, making it impossible to see the bottom.

Ning Jiasheng walked in front, his eyes alert, always paying attention to the movements around him.

When they were halfway across the stone bridge, suddenly, a violent vibration came from under the bridge and the entire stone bridge began to shake.

The faces of several disciples changed. The one carrying Liu Shumo lost his balance instantly and both of them fell out.

The others looked pale and shouted in panic.

The fiery red sword shadow flew past like lightning, causing the two men to freeze. Ning Jiasheng followed closely and teleported over, picking up the two men back to the bridge with one hand each.

Then he quickly turned around, raised his hand to grasp the hilt of the sword, and swung it hard diagonally downward. The fiery red sword energy collided with a huge and ferocious beast claw. The aftermath of the battle flew to the mountain walls on both sides, smashing down countless pieces of stone.

All this happened in an instant.

Ning Jiasheng turned his back to the crowd and finally said, "Don't panic, stay calm!"

Her voice was not loud, but at this moment it carried a reassuring power. Gao Mi and the others quickly regained their composure and calmed down.

Several people summoned their weapons and looked towards the source of the vibration.

I saw a huge black shadow rising rapidly under the stone bridge.

It was a gigantic Striders beast, its body made of fiery magma and extremely hard rock, emitting such high temperatures that distorted the air around it.

Two balls of dark green flames in his eye sockets stared intently at the person who had just drawn his sword.

"Everyone, pull over and don't block its way!"

Ning Jiasheng gave the command quickly.

Several disciples immediately followed Ning Jiasheng's instructions. They stuck close to one side of the stone bridge and tried to make as much space as possible.

But the Scorching Foot did not fly onto the bridge. Without even looking at the group of people, it passed directly under the bridge where they were standing and headed straight for Ning Jiasheng.

Wherever it passed, the heat waves it brought made everyone feel suffocated.

Not only that, at this moment, the stone bridge suddenly made a crisp sound, and everyone's feet were scratched by the stone spikes at its tail. A piece of stone slab broke unexpectedly, and Yang Xiao next to Gao Mi immediately fell off the cliff.

Fortunately, he was quick-witted and grabbed the broken end of the bridge, and his companions around him also reacted quickly and grabbed his arms. However, before they could exert any force, the area where they were standing suddenly broke apart.

Ning Jiasheng was holding a sword in both hands and confronting the monster, and he had no time to save so many people.

Seeing that everyone was about to fall into the place covered by clouds and mist, Ning Jiasheng gritted his teeth, held the sword with one hand to resist, and at the same time threw out the shawl from his sleeve with his left hand.

Her heart moved at will, and it instantly grew several meters longer and wider. It flew below the crowd like lightning, and with a strong shock, it sent several people back to the bridge farther away from her.

Before she could take back the shawl, she could no longer bear it and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Immortal Lord!!!"

Everyone was shocked and no longer had time to care about Liu Shumo on the ground. They all rushed towards her.

"Stop, don't come over!"

Ning Jiasheng shouted at them to stop, turned around and continued to fight the Scorching-legged Beast with all his strength.

There was no other reason, because the little spiritual power they had left would disrupt her rhythm and would only make things worse.

Gao Mi and the others were now filled with guilt and shame. They had no choice but to stand where they were, looking at Ning Jiasheng with great concern.

It is forbidden to use magical instruments and talismans brought in from outside, as well as any elixirs except low-level healing elixirs in the Cangwu Secret Realm.

Otherwise it is a foul and there will be different punishments depending on the situation. In serious cases, the qualification for the trial will be immediately revoked.

Therefore, Gao Mi and others could only watch from where they were and could not even provide assistance from a distance.

At the same time, the atmosphere in the main hall of Hehuan Palace became tense. Quarrels between disciples from aristocratic families and disciples from sects continued one after another. The words from both sides became more and more intense, even mixed with some swear words and curses.

The young people in the hall, disciples from aristocratic families and disciples from sects, stood on both sides clearly divided.

Looking at the scene in the water mirror, someone from the sect was the first to speak up and mocked:

"I told you that Immortal Ning shouldn't have agreed to take this group of burdens with him. If it weren't for these people dragging him down, he would have crossed the bridge long ago. The people from the aristocratic families are just shameless."

"good,"

Someone curled their lips and sneered, "Senior Ning has done his best by breaking the gabion, yet they shamelessly follow you. They deserve to be kicked out if they have no ability. Why should they follow you around? How shameless."

The people from the aristocratic family glared at him, and a disciple from the aristocratic family responded with a sneer.

"If it weren't for the Tianyuan Sect's frame-up, they wouldn't have been trapped in the cage, waiting for someone to rescue them. You say we are shameless, but how noble are you sects? You are just the same."

"The Tianyuan Sect members didn't cheat. Did you hear what the guards said? They fought fairly. They were inferior in skills and hid in the cage. Now they have the nerve to talk nonsense!"

"Ha! It's really Xiaodao pulling the butt, it opened my eyes."

The sect retorted, and after that, the group of young disciples from the sect burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha--"

The noble families were furious, "You sect members only know how to boast. If you have the guts, go and try to break that stone cage yourself!"

The sect's momentum was high, and they said leisurely, "Humph, what else can you people from your aristocratic families do besides being a drag? Immortal Ning is wasting his time bringing you along!"

As they spoke, the sect disciples began to laugh again.

The number of people from the noble families in the hall was originally less than that of the sect disciples, and now they were squeezed to the point that they were almost speechless.

"hehe--"

Someone sneered, and he used the sound amplification technique. The laughter on the other side stopped, and they looked at the person who made the sound.

Someone who recognized him explained to the others, "He's from Dongzhou, the Haiyue Xue family."

The Xue disciple saw everyone looking at him, his eyes were filled with contempt and disgust, and he mocked:

"It's obvious that the Tianyuan Sect has more people and more power but still hasn't obtained the Blue Brilliant Pill. They are just a bunch of useless people, yet you can still twist this into a false alarm."

"Besides, she's willing to let me hang out with her. What, are you jealous? So what? Even if you're mad with jealousy, she won't even give you a glance."

As soon as these words came out, the angry people rolled up their sleeves and said in anger:

"What did you say!?"

"What do you mean? Who's the loser?"

The noble families turned the tables, and each of them looked at the other side with cold eyes, smiling provocatively and saying:

"What a rude barbarian!"

"How rude."

"I have fallen to the point of being in the same room with such people."

These sarcastic words made the disciples of the sect even more angry.

"Isn't this Master Xue Yi?"

Another voice using the amplification technique sounded,

The noise stopped for a moment, and Xue Yi narrowed his eyes to look over. The disciple from the Bishui Sect smiled and bowed to him, then continued:

"Don't be provoked by him, Master Xue is just suffering from a relapse of his old illness."

The sect's side asked with great tact, "What do you mean?"

The Bishui Sect disciple explained with a smile, "Before, the Tianshui Cui family plotted against Immortal Ning, but once they came back and admitted their mistake, they were able to put an end to the matter. The Gao and Liu families saw this and went after Immortal Ning."

"Young Master Xue is now speaking so arrogantly here again. Is it because he sees that Immortal Ning is easy to talk to and is thinking of how to curry favor with him?"

Everyone didn't react at first, but after listening to the words of the disciples of the Bishui Sect, and then thinking about the rumors about how the Xue family squeezed into the four major families, wasn't this just a relapse of the old problem?

For a moment, all kinds of ambiguous gazes were cast on the three families of Wei, Ji and Xue opposite.

Someone chuckled and said, "The Xue family is just a second-rate family. What qualifications do they have to point fingers here?"

Xue Yi's expression instantly turned ugly. He looked coldly at the disciples who spoke opposite him, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

The two sides started a new round of quarreling. The voices became louder and louder, and the emotions became more and more excited. The atmosphere in the hall became tense.

"enough!"

A majestic shout interrupted the quarrel between the two sides.

It was the voice of the Unparalleled Immortal Venerable. His figure appeared in the hall, and a powerful pressure instantly enveloped the entire hall.

Everyone fell silent instantly, and the hall became completely silent.
