C5 Into the City

A long breath of turbid air. Ning Yue, who was sitting on top of the rock, stretched his muscles and bones. A crisp sound was heard from all over his body, as if all his bones were returning to their original positions.

The weakness and suffocation in his body had weakened a lot, and the Profound Strengths circulating in his meridians had also become much more abundant. It was just that...

Bang!

His fist shook. He looked at the fist imprint that had suddenly split open on the rock in the distance and shook his head in the end.

He felt right. His injuries had mostly recovered, but his strength was still stuck at the seventh level of the Origin realm and he had not returned to the ninth level. However, on that day, he was sure that his teacher had not truly crippled his cultivation. He had only made a false impression by severely injuring him.

"It's been ten days. Looks like this time, it really was a fake show. Perhaps, if he were to recuperate quietly, his strength would truly recover. " It's just that what happened these few days, how can I take a rest? Unfortunately, it seemed like the time to step into the Spirit Waking Stage realm had been delayed. "I thought that there was only one last step left."

On this continent, martial artists could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, consolidate their foundation, and use it for their own use. Their essence would gradually grow and condense into Profound Strengths that would be left in their meridians. For example, Ning Yue was at the Origin realm at this moment. Only when he stepped into the Origin realm could he be considered a true martial artist, but it was only the beginning.

At the seventh level of the Origin realm, the strength of his fist could reach 500 Jin. At the ninth level, the strength could reach 500 Jin. This was also why the Sword Wielding Elder claimed that half of his cultivation had been crippled and he had only fallen from the ninth level to the seventh level.

The further one cultivated, the stronger the growth and strengthening of each level.

Especially when one reached the next level. Spirit Waking Stage, that would further enhance the strength of one's meridians. One would be able to control part of the energy of heaven and earth. One could even control wind, fire, ice, lightning and other Element Power. This was the true awakening of the spirit vein, which was why it was called a Spirit Waking.

As long as one reached the Spirit Waking Stage realm, he would be a guest of the empire and the sect no matter where he went. Among the disciples of the Cloud Void Sword Pavilion's generation, very few had reached this level.

However, after reaching the Spirit Waking Stage realm, that was the realm that countless warriors yearned for the most, the Wind Riding Stage realm.

Riding the Wind, riding the wind. At this realm, one could control the airflow and fly freely in the sky like flying. Depending on the strength of one's own strength and the difference in cultivation methods, there was a difference in the duration.

However, if one wanted to fully flap their wings and soar through the sky, then it would have to be the next realm. At the very least, Ning Yue didn't dare to think too much at the moment. He only hoped that he could reach the Wind Riding Stage realm before the age of twenty.

With a helpless smile, he glanced at the ancient sword that was stabbed into the rock beside him. The brown and red rust didn't fall off at all. The true bloodthirsty edge continued to sleep in the seal. As for the mysterious woman who should be a Sword Spirit, it was naturally impossible for her to appear at this moment.

He still needed another person's blood. Where could he find her now?

During this period of time, he had also tried to kill some medicinal Devil Beasts. He wanted to see if their blood was enough. There was only one time when a Sword Spirit appeared. He replied, "Don't use the blood of a low-grade medicinal Devil Beast to sully this sword.

Therefore, Ning Yue had no choice but to give up on this pointless attempt. However, at the very least, he had an additional trump card in his escape. Once he encountered a strong enemy attacking him, with this sword, the chances of breaking out of the encirclement would be much higher.

If possible, he didn't seem to be creating too many killings. In the past, he had killed people above the Cloud Void Sword Pavilion, but his targets were all bandits and bandits who had committed crimes nearby. According to the teachings of the sect, these people deserved to die. In order to train their courage and adapt to this world where the strong were respected, the disciples of the sect would definitely have that kind of trial.

After that kind of trial several times, his hand that wielded the sword finally did not hesitate.

However, if he was facing an ordinary sect disciple, he would still hesitate. His final choice would only be to show mercy.

After all, he had no reason to kill him.

However, in the past ten days, Ning Yue had tried his best to hide his tracks and move swiftly through the forest. Whenever he rested, he would choose a relatively hidden cave or forest. He didn't know if it was due to his good luck or the fact that the Cloud Void Sword Pavilion and the other sects didn't search as hard as he had imagined. They didn't encounter any pursuers.

On the way, he only encountered some disciples or rogue cultivators who were out adventuring. In order to be safe, Ning Yue chose to avoid them and didn't meet any of them head on.

The current him didn't trust anyone.

Or it could be said that those who could be trusted would not appear here.

There must be people chasing after him. They had wreaked havoc in the forbidden area of Cloud Void Sword Pavilion, taken away the sealing sword, and killed the disciples of the sect there. Adding the fact that he had been framed, Ning Yue knew that if he wasn't the one who had done all these things, he would still be an inner sect disciple of Cloud Void Sword Pavilion. He would definitely go down the mountain to capture the traitors for the glory of his sect.

"Rebellion? "Rebellion? Even I think so."

Shaking his head with a smile, he stretched his body and muttered, "I've recovered more than half of my strength. Seventh level of the Origin realm is somewhat low, but it is not too bad. It is time to enter the city and take a look. It is also time to inquire about some news. "

Most importantly, Ning Yue wanted to buy some pills. The wounds on his body only relied on the herbs he picked and his healing ability. In the end, his recovery was slow. Moreover, he didn't have much money on him. Although he had searched Duan Chuang's corpse, it was a pity that if he used it to buy medicinal pills, he obviously wouldn't be able to buy much.

If he could, he wanted to try his luck and see if he could receive some Vito missions to exchange for a reward.

This world wasn't peaceful. The surrounding empires were all raiders, and there were many criminals. Moreover, there were Devil Beasts that disturbed the people from time to time. They dispatched troops to suppress the people, and many times, they were too laborious. Therefore, many missions were issued as rewards. As long as any cultivator could do it, they would be able to receive a reward.

Two hours later, Ning Yue, who was covered in dust, arrived in front of a city gate. The scale of Desolate Mountain City was not small. It was a place where the traveling merchants and warriors often gathered.

Of course, the order was also a little chaotic.

However, this was exactly what he wanted. This place was more than 300 miles away from the Cloud Void Sword Pavilion. It was separated by two mountain ranges. If the disciples of the Cloud Void Sword Pavilion wanted to pursue him, they would not choose this place first. Moreover, this place was near the territory of another force. It would be inconvenient for them to make a move even if they were to meet here.

When they arrived at the city gate, Ning Yue saw that there was a large bulletin board filled with people. There was a small table on one side, and two soldiers who seemed to be lazy were sitting there, taking a nap. From time to time, they would open their eyes and narrow their eyes to look at the crowd.

There were many places in the city that posted a bounty notice like this. He had seen many of them before, and the place that gathered the most was the city gate. Many people rushed back with the results of their target, and the first thing they wanted to know was whether they could complete their mission. Or perhaps, it was because someone else had taken the first step to obtain the reward.

As a result, some people even carried medicinal Devil Beasts' corpses in groups, and also used ropes to tie up other people's martial artists. These were all their results. As for whether it was accurate or not, and if it was in time, there were naturally people to test it.

Ignoring the noise around him, Ning Yue slowly walked forward and swept his eyes over the dozens of notices that were posted. He wanted to find a source of income. However, after a short while, he accidentally caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye and was stunned on the spot. His face twitched violently a few times.

He saw that the face that was scrawled on a notice near the corner was extremely familiar to him. There were a few lines of small words written below.

The traitor of the Cloud Void Sword Pavilion, Ning Yue, had cruelly killed several of his fellow disciples. His hands were full of blood debts, and he was currently fleeing for his life. This man was only at the seventh level of the Origin realm, but he was extremely dangerous and cruel. It would be best to kill him on the spot if he encountered him. The reward for capturing him alive was ten thousand silver coins. The reward for killing him was seven thousand silver coins. Those who provide accurate information will receive a reward of 1,000 silver coins.

At the bottom was the joint payment of Cloud Void Sword Pavilion, Ao Dao Sect, Green Mountain Sword Sect, and Crane Feather Sect.

Although this place was remote, the information was still very sensitive. This was something he had overlooked.

The glaring red text was reflected in Ning Yue's eyes. He almost cried out involuntarily. However, the last bit of reason in his heart warned him that he absolutely could not act impulsively right now.

"Damn it, I never thought that things would have already spread to this place. Moreover, it even covered me with such a crime!"

He smiled bitterly in his heart. He was naturally unable to explain the previous frame-up clearly, and Lin Zhong had indeed died at his hands. Thinking about the other four disciples from that day, he was afraid that they would not be able to escape. If the truth were to be revealed, no one would believe it. And no matter what, it was indeed a sword of slaughter that had been wielded by his hand.

He hurriedly stepped out of the crowd. Ning Yue subconsciously lowered his head and walked towards the city gate. These days, he had been living in the forest. His hair had only been casually brushed by the stream. At this moment, it was messy and messy, covering most of his face. It was also a dirty and messy face. Unless a familiar fellow disciple ran into him at a close distance, it would not be easy for a stranger to recognize him.

However, there were quite a number of people who were in a hurry to obtain the reward. It was very likely that they had the intention of killing three thousand wrongly and not letting any of them go. When they saw some similar people, they would question them. This was what Ning Yue was most worried about.

In the past, he had seen quite a few of them.

When he stepped into the city gate, Ning Yue heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that no one had noticed him. There were a lot of carriages and pedestrians every day. There were at least eight thousand people dressed like him. It was not easy to arouse suspicion.

The first thing he did when he entered the city was not to buy medicinal pills. Instead, he found a stall nearby and bought a bamboo hat with a veil covering it. He put it on his head to further conceal his identity.

When cultivators were training outside, it was normal for them to become enemies with others. Many people would choose to wear such a bamboo hat when entering the city in case they were recognized by their enemies. There were two or three people in every ten people on the street, and Ning Yue didn't need to feel that it was a cover up.

The second thing was naturally to buy pills. He didn't have much money, but he could still buy a few bottles of the most common healing pills.

However, when he truly walked into the medicinal shop, he was dumbfounded.

On the display shelves, the prices of the few low level spirit medicines that he was familiar with... were several times more expensive than he expected.

"How could it be like this?"

Without asking any more questions, Ning Yue directly withdrew. Spirit medicines had always been a hot commodity. It was very normal for the price to fluctuate. He could only blame himself for being unlucky this time.

"If I want to get some money quickly, I'm afraid I'll have to go there."

A very reluctant thought appeared in his mind. He pressed on the wound under his ribs that had yet to heal. He had no choice but to accept his fate and walked towards a corner of the town.

Suddenly, an inexplicable sense of unease flashed across Ning Yue's heart. He turned his head abruptly and saw nothing but the flow of people passing through the town.

But just now... to be exact, when he bought the bamboo hat, he felt uneasy at the city gate. It was as if he had been targeted. However, it was especially intense just now.

"Looks like I have no other choice."
