Chapter 782 - 759 The Busybody is Here Again (1/3)
Three days passed, and the Ning Family ultimately did not take action.
However, a Martial Artist of the Divinity Transformation Realm had been observing them from the second day onward, scrutinizing them for two whole days before departing. It was believed that it was the Old Ancestor of the Ning Family; he couldn’t make out the depth of Zhou Heng and thus didn’t dare to act.
—At his level, he was cautious every step of the way, knowing that cultivation was not to be taken lightly, and treasured, as encountering a formidable foe could risk losing thousands of years of cultivation in an instant!
During these three days, the Ning Family concentrated their efforts on Hu Yin, attempting to persuade this Martial Arts prodigy to stay with the family, promising countless benefits, but Hu Yin ultimately decided to leave with Zhou Heng, much to the disappointment of the Ning Family.
"Brother Ning, I bid you farewell!" Zhou Heng bowed to Ning Youque. This young man had good talents, and if he dedicated himself to his cultivation, he could eventually break through to the Immortal Realm.
"Until we meet again!" Ning Youque felt a sense of relief, his expression unusually relaxed as he returned the bow to Zhou Heng.
Zhou Heng smiled faintly and boarded the carriage provided by the Ning Family, heading towards the Immortal-Ascension Bridge.
This carriage naturally couldn’t compare to Ning Youque’s, being drawn by just two Heaven-Opening Realm Iron-horned Beasts. It seemed that after failing to attract Hu Yin, the Ning Family had become stingy, not even maintaining their usual decorum.
The carriage’s shock absorption was poor too; it swayed and rattled, much to the dissatisfaction of the Red Dragon Empress, as it made it difficult for her to sleep.
The distance of four hundred li was not too long for Heaven-Opening Realm Demon Beasts, and it took only two hours before they reached the end of what mortals could travel. Ahead was a Great Trench that stretched beyond sight!
Above it, dense white mist swirled, impenetrable even by Zhou Heng’s vision and Divine Sense, surpassing physical strength.
