Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 777 - 326: The Greatest Harvest (Part 4)

His eyes silently scanned Sikong Lan and the rest underneath, an idea flashing through his thoughts.

Never mind, it's better to let others handle the killing.

The forces from the Profound Truth Realm, Fuyao Realm, and Langya Domain all followed his commands. Though this spot stayed untouched by the wills of the two realms, having them eliminate Sikong Lan and his group would surely leave traces behind.

In the end, the armies of Fuyao Realm and Langya Domain don't align fully with him like the Profound Truth Realm's troops do.

Realizing this, Ning Qi chose not to strike at Kuang Shanqing the way he had with Qianying.

He moved covertly, unleashing another Divine Technique in a flash.

"Space Shifting!"

Kuang Shanqing remained seated in the emptiness, waiting patiently for Ning Qi to show up.

By chance, he looked downward and felt a sudden jolt of shock!

To where had Qi Keqing vanished?

What's more, Kuang Shanqing watched the troops under Qi Keqing's command disappear from view instantly, carrying away the Node Pearl positioned at this crucial juncture!

"Is Ning Qi present?"

Kuang Shanqing rose abruptly, sending out his Spiritual Sense with greater precision, but he detected absolutely nothing!

This outcome proved intolerable to him.

At once, he sent a message to Qianying's concealed position: "Brother Qianying, Ning Qi has arrived!"

Yet no reply came!

"Brother Qianying?"

After multiple attempts to communicate, Kuang Shanqing failed to reach Qianying, plunging him into profound dread.

Down below, Sikong Lan and the others sensed the strangeness too, causing the gathering to erupt in immediate unrest.

Sikong Lan tilted his head up, on the verge of shouting to his senior brother, only to discover himself suddenly voiceless, unable to produce any sound.

He tried to project his voice mentally, but his Spiritual Sense wouldn't extend in the slightest. A freezing shiver climbed Sikong Lan's back, as if some malevolent spirit had seized him.

Ning Qi materialized directly across from Kuang Shanqing, the Node Pearl gripped in his hand.

With steady calm, he declared, "You have to be Kuang Shanqing. No point in searching further; I've dealt with Qianying and whisked Qi Keqing and the others off this spot!"

As a youth clad in white stepped forth from the void, Kuang Shanqing's eyes stretched wide, battling to quell the fear churning inside, "Are you Ning Qi?"

Ning Qi responded, "Seems Sikong Lan shared every detail with you!"

Below, Sikong Lan and his companions beheld Ning Qi's emergence, their forms quaking beyond their control.

It's finished; they're doomed!

They couldn't fathom how Ning Qi had turned so horrifyingly powerful?

Evidently, just before, he had commanded the army in person, clashing with the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect's forces.

In such a fleeting span, Ning Qi effortlessly relocated Qi Keqing and the army right beneath the watchful eye of Divine Wind Domain Master Kuang Shanqing, stranding only them at this location!

Ning Qi further announced he'd handled Hundred Beasts Realm Domain Master Qianying; they could scarcely credit the feat or grasp his means.

Despair clouded the faces of Sikong Lan and Sima Fei. Devoid of any worth now, nothing but ruin lay ahead for them.

Their faint hope hinged on Kuang Shanqing buying them even a brief delay against Ning Qi, in the chance that the suffocating restraint eased, granting a shot at fleeing.

As these notions raced through his mind, Sikong Lan caught the overhead duo resuming their conversation.

Kuang Shanqing refused to accept it, "Did you actually kill Brother Qianying?"

Qianying's stealth method eluded even his perception. Lacking knowledge of the hiding place, he'd never locate Qianying whatsoever.

Still, Ning Qi had neutralized Qianying beforehand, the impact of that revelation easy to envision.

Ning Qi replied, "'Kill' doesn't fit precisely; I spared him one last breath."

He glanced down indifferently at Sikong Lan below, going on, "You're likely puzzled how I knew your exact numbers, or even that Qianying lurked so close?"

This very detail nagged at Kuang Shanqing's mind.

Truth be told, when Qi Keqing and the rest had shown up, Qianying had long since secreted himself nearby without ever revealing his form.

Only Sikong Lan and his allies had laid eyes on Qianying.

Ning Qi chuckled lightly, "For that, I owe thanks to Sikong Lan. He faked his surrender to you, slipped you misleading info on me, but in secret, he revealed it all to me—thanks to the Magical Treasure I granted him!"
