Junior sister took first place again

After reaching a certain tacit understanding with the sword spirit, Ning Jiasheng's thoughts returned to the present and the problem of his inner demons.

She had some ideas about how to pass this test, but after learning that Xue Wuying was also involved, she felt a little uneasy about the words her inner demon said before leaving.

Although the Emperor's Sword had served many emperors, Ji Yao, as the first person to use it, was ultimately different.

It can be said that it was born for Ji Yao as a result of the will of heaven.

Therefore, others can only unleash their true power after they have conquered the world.

As for the descendants of Ji Yao, no matter how strong they are, they can wield the Emperor's Sword by simply dripping blood to acknowledge their master.

The Emperor Sword holds the Ji family in high esteem. With Xue Wuying here, coupled with the inner demon's unpredictable methods, she might be forcibly cut off from the sword spirit.

Ning Jiasheng had no attachment to the Emperor's Sword; Chi Yan was her one and only companion. She and the Emperor's Sword were not of the same ilk, a feeling she had felt since she first saw the fragments.

However, now that she had been brought into this illusion by the sword spirit, she had become an ordinary person. If the inner demon really forcibly terminated the contract, she would be at the mercy of others.

Ning Jiasheng didn't want to wait for Xue Wuying to break through the illusion and then follow him out. By then, he would be in power and he would not have an easy time in this illusion.

Moreover, there was the inner demon watching covetously from the sidelines, and the inner demon was very concerned about this sword spirit. If the inner demon succeeded, she would definitely tamper with herself, thus affecting reality.

Therefore, the only way to break the deadlock lies in Ning Jiasheng herself, and she must pass this test as soon as possible.

Ning Jiasheng looked at the blurry figure in the air and said meaningfully, "I hope the person you choose, and Ji Tang, are reliable and don't let us down."

The sword spirit snorted coldly, "Humph, how could my vision be wrong?"

As he spoke, ripples appeared all over his body, and he opened his mouth with a hint of surprise and doubt.

"You'd better take care of yourself first. Your inner demon once said that it would watch you from the dark. It's a demon that I can't even identify. Have you thought of a plan to deal with it?"

"It's none of your business, just don't cause me any trouble."

Of course, Ning Jiasheng would not tell the sword spirit about those speculations, otherwise it would probably be eager to find Xue Wuying and then cooperate with the inner demon to break the contract.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the time everyone had agreed upon was almost here. Ning Jiasheng could already hear some faint noises.

The sword spirit sensed the whereabouts of Qi Sha and others earlier than her, and had transformed into a spirit body and returned to Ning Jiasheng's sea of consciousness.

After a few breaths, Qi Sha and the other shadow guards returned one after another. They had completed the tasks assigned by Ning Jiasheng and were now ready to cross the river with her to Da Xia.

When everyone returned, they were all shocked to see Ning Jiasheng standing amidst the ruins. But seeing her expression as calm as water, Qi Sha and the others simply bowed silently and stood still, no one daring to ask any questions.

After everything was ready, Ning Jiasheng gave the order in a deep voice, "Let's go." He took the lead and rushed to the ferry at a rapid speed.

Everyone responded in unison, crossed the desolate mountain path in the night, and stepped into a lush forest. After walking for more than two hours, they finally arrived at a hidden ferry.

A wide river shone silver in the moonlight, and on the other side was the territory of Daxia.

Ning Jiasheng dismounted and gazed at the shimmering river surface. He knew in his heart that once he took this step, there would be no turning back.

She could only succeed because Ning Jiasheng could not afford the price of failure.

"Your Highness, this is too dangerous." Qi Sha couldn't help but persuade him again, his voice full of worry.

Ning Jiasheng turned around, a look of determination flashing in his eyes, "No need to say more, I have made up my mind."

After saying that, Ning Jiasheng resolutely stepped onto the small boat in the water and raised his hand to signal everyone to act immediately.

At this point, Qi Sha could only suppress his worries, get on the boat, and protect Ning Jiasheng like a sword out of its sheath to prevent any abnormalities.

Although it was a hidden section of the river that was specially selected, this place was the border between two countries after all, and it was in the midst of war, so it was inevitable that they would encounter patrol teams from Daxia.

Fortunately, with the cover of night and the river, Ning Jiasheng and others carefully avoided these.

After a difficult journey, they finally successfully crossed the river and set foot on the land of Daxia.

The real challenge has just begun.
