Ning Qi dismisses the matter of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, confident the Commander will handle it. Li Xiangrou, now a Half-step True Immortal thanks to Ning Qi, expresses her gratitude. Ning Qi confirms their plan to depart tomorrow after resolving her issue. Medicine Spirit questions if Li Xiangrou likes Ning Qi, but he dismisses it, stating their goal is to see Xu Qingqiu and then return home. The next morning, Ning Qi and Li Xiangrou discuss his origins in the True Martial Spirit Realm and his unique cultivation of Immortal Demon Power. Li Xiangrou declines his offer to teach her, citing the dangers of this realm and her responsibilities. She expresses a desire to visit his realm but feels bound by her duty to prevent her sister's complete takeover. They discuss the difficulty of finding a suitable successor for her, which would delay her potential departure.

"That’s easy to handle."

Ning Qi said, taking out a jade pendant and then forcing out a strand of his Soul Blood.

"Phew!"

The strand of Soul Blood directly surged into his jade pendant.

As the Soul Blood merged, the jade pendant began to change.

From an ordinary jade pendant, it suddenly turned into a blood-colored jade pendant.

Within it were waves of unsettling power continuously emanating.

"Phew!"

Ning Qi took a deep breath and infused it with a touch of immortal power.

After everything was done, he handed it to Li Xiangrou.

"Here, take this. If you ever want to find me, you can use this to sense my location immediately."

"It will guide you to me!"

Ning Qi smiled and continued, "By then, I can help you further improve your strength."

"However, if by then your strength surpasses mine, then that’s a different story."

"Ning Qi, don’t joke with me."

"I know my own talent very well."

"I will never surpass your strength!"

Li Xiangrou shook her head and solemnly accepted the jade pendant he handed over, "I will keep it safe."

"This has the power equivalent to a full attack of a Heavenly Immortal."

"However, after each use, it will take a year to recharge."

Ning Qi warned again, "So, don’t use it unless it’s a critical moment."

"Understood, rest assured, I will cherish it!"

Li Xiangrou nodded and carefully put it away.

"Creak."

At this moment, the gate of their Sumeru Courtyard was opened by someone.

The Commander stood at the door.

"Miss, Master Ning, we can depart now!"

He respectfully said to the two of them.

"Alright, let’s go!"

Ning Qi stood up first.

"Hmm."

Li Xiangrou stood up as well.

The two of them departed together.

Heading out of the courtyard.

"What happened to those people last night?"

Ning Qi walked along and suddenly thought of something, he couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

"She was indeed from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and I did not make things difficult for her."

"Just warned her not to cause trouble again."

"And the shop’s staff also had their shopkeeper handle them!"

The Commander replied solemnly upon hearing Ning Qi’s words.

"Alright, let’s go then."

After Ning Qi agreed, he followed him downstairs.

Their convoy was already waiting outside the inn.

Everyone got on the carriages, and the team set off grandly again.

The same scene, after so long.

Ning Qi once again set off with their team.

It made him feel quite emotional.

Time flies fast, and things are not the same as before.

The misunderstanding between them at the beginning had been completely resolved now.

A lot happened during that period.

The team unknowingly left Yun City, heading in the opposite direction of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

"Master, the scenery here is so beautiful!"

The Medicine Spirit, on his shoulder, admired the beautiful scenery here.

"Yes, the view is really nice!"

Ning Qi said, following along.

Here, the mountains are clear, and the water is beautiful; Immortal Qi is abundant.

It gives people a refreshing sensation.

The mountains above are filled with all kinds of immortal herbs and rare flowers.

It’s countless times stronger than our True Martial Spirit Realm.

"Master, it would be great if our True Martial Spirit Realm could be this strong!"

"We could even hold a place here."

The Medicine Spirit said with a sigh while looking at this place.

"Yes, indeed impressive."

"But unfortunately, we still need to work hard!"

Ning Qi nodded and then looked around at the environment: "I wonder which sect is the strongest here."

"Or who is the most powerful person here."

"That is unknown, but it has nothing to do with us either!"

"We are just passing by!"

The Medicine Spirit thought for a moment and then shook his head, saying: "Master, one day, we will succeed too!"

"Hmm, after finishing things here, I will return."

"I guess the Sea Ancestor and others must have missed us too."

Ning Qi nodded and then looked ahead: "I wonder if they have encountered any trouble."

"I don’t think so, your jade pendant has been quiet."

The Medicine Spirit continued: "Moreover, haven’t they contacted us before? It should be fine."

"Hmm, hopefully so!"

Ning Qi nodded and looked ahead again.

The official road here continues deep into the mountains.

"Once we’re out of here, it’s our dynasty!"

At this moment, Li Xiangrou also came out of the carriage.

She deliberately lifted the curtain.

Breathing in the fresh air outside.

"Your dynasty, being under the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, shouldn’t be weak!"

At this point, Ning Qi thought of a question.

If they were too weak, they wouldn’t have had a chance to stand here.

"Indeed, many people from our dynasty are in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect!"

Li Xiangrou nodded, following with: "At least four of the Ten Grand Elders of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect are from our dynasty!"

"Oh? No wonder Commander Li handled that young girl so easily last night!"

At this moment, Ning Qi finally understood the situation.

He had asked Commander Li before departure in the morning.

He answered about this matter with such ease.

He didn’t take Qianqian and the two others seriously at all.

"Yes, but they don’t concern themselves with common affairs."

"They will only appear when our dynasty is at great danger!"

Li Xiangrou gently nodded and continued: "If we’re not being wiped out, and just fighting each other, they won’t intervene."

"After all, it’s internal conflict, but if outsiders dare to bully us, they absolutely won’t sit idly by!"

"Our dynasty’s people are their descendants."

"Destroying us would break their lineage, naturally they wouldn’t agree."

"I see."

At this point, the Medicine Spirit finally understood what was going on.

"You really are full of surprises."

Listening to her explanation, Ning Qi said: "But since it’s like this, when I get there, I can’t just go all out."

"Otherwise, if I alarm your dynasty’s Ancestor and they come to trouble me, it wouldn’t be worth it!"

"Ning Qi, don’t worry, if you’re helping me, you don’t need to worry!"

"They can hire people to kill me, and I hire people to deal with them, that’s only right!"

"The Ancestor won’t blame us!"

Li Xiangrou shook her head, and looking at Ning Qi she said: "As long as I’m not excessive, no one will intervene!"

"That’s good then."

Hearing her words, Ning Qi felt relieved.

"Master, who would have thought the girl you met has such a formidable background."

"If we had known earlier, we could have followed her all the way."

"And not been targeted by others."

The Medicine Spirit opened its hands, regrettably saying: "If they had told us earlier, we wouldn’t have been in this mess."

"Indeed, but it doesn’t matter now, at least we’ve improved our strength!"

"And got quite a few treasures, which is not bad either!"

Ning Qi smiled and then turned his gaze forward.

As they talked, they had unknowingly reached the heart of the official road.

The place was filled with dense forests, blocking out the sunlight.

"Everyone, be cautious."

"We are at Black Wind Ridge, there might be bandits here!"

Commander Li came over and reminded everyone: "Keep your weapons ready, in case of an ambush!"

"Yes!"

"By your command!"

"..."

After his instructions, the guards all responded.

Each gripped their weapons tightly.

Ready to fight.

Clearly, the bandits and brigands here were no small threat.

"With your dynasty and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect guarding this place, how can there still be rampant bandits?"

Ning Qi looked at everyone poised and ready, asking out of curiosity.
