Nine Nether Dragon Emperor

The commander still did not accept it. Instead, he said to Ning Xuan, "You try taking it first."

All eyes turned to Ning Xuan. To their surprise, he actually consumed a piece without the slightest hesitation.

An Element Force Giant Hand suddenly materialized, grabbing Ning Xuan's jaw. It forcefully made him spit out the piece of Earth Spring Spirit Milk he had just ingested. Simultaneously, the piece of Earth Spring Spirit Milk that had been in Ning Xuan's hand appeared in the commander's.

The Element Force Giant Hand that had been gripping Ning Xuan's jaw shot downward, seizing him by the throat and hoisting him into the air.

"You big bully, let my master go!" Xiao Bai suddenly bared his teeth and charged forward.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort exploded like thunder.

BANG!

Xiao Bai's body exploded. The commanders were stunned, however, because there was no mist of blood when the body burst.

Something's wrong!

The commander who had acted did not even pause to think. The Element Force Giant Hand clasping Ning Xuan's throat suddenly tightened its grip.

CRACK!

With the sound of snapping bone, Ning Xuan's neck was broken.

But at that exact moment…

PFFT!

A stream of Sword Qi shot through the back of the commander's head, exiting between his eyebrows!

"What?!"

"How could this be?!"

The remaining commanders were utterly shocked. As expected of a commander, he did not die immediately even with his head pierced through.

The next moment, his eyes bulged in horror as he spotted another Ning Xuan!

"Dao… Dao Body…"

With his last words, the commander collapsed to the ground, his eyes wide with disbelief.

The five remaining commanders looked from their fallen comrade to the suddenly appeared Ning Xuan, who was now accompanied by a little girl. They were all speechless, and their gazes toward him had turned to terror. He had constructed a Dao Body without them noticing anything unusual! He had been hiding right beside them all along, and still, they had detected nothing!

If this guy had decided to attack us, would any of us still be alive?

After the initial fear, shock, and retrospective terror, a wave of relief washed over them.

Thankfully, all five of us made an oath, so we're no longer a threat to him. Otherwise, who knows what kind of methods he would've used to deal with us?

Just as they were thinking this, they saw Ning Yang, that little bastard, sweep his gaze over them. All five Law Enforcement Commanders felt their hearts skip a beat, their bodies instantly tensing.

He isn't actually thinking of attacking us, is he?!

At this moment, the five great commanders seemed to completely forget their own strength, all of them paralyzed with fear. They couldn't help but be scared. After all, in such a short time, this guy had nearly wiped them all out.

Damn it all, we can't afford to provoke this guy!

"Are you sure you won't make a move on me, huh?" Ning Xuan asked the five of them.

The heads of the five great commanders shook like rattle-drums.

What a joke! Forget about the oaths we made. Even without them, after witnessing what just happened, none of us would dare to make a move on him again.

"So I can go now, huh?" Ning Xuan heaved a sigh of relief and said tentatively.

"Please, as you wish."

"Alright, alright!"

"Allow me to see you out."

"Take care on your way."

"Until we meet again… cough, if fate wills it!"

All five commanders responded immediately, smiles plastered on their faces.

This guy is a walking disaster. We can't wait for him to leave and hope we never see him again.

And so, Ning Xuan left swaggering, the four women in tow.

Once Ning Xuan's group had vanished from sight, all five of them breathed a collective sigh of relief.

"Damn it, that scared the hell out of me!"

"Damn it, we're Law Enforcement Commanders, yet we acted so humbly. It's a good thing this area was cleared out, otherwise..."

"The Earth Spring Spirit Milk! We came for the Earth Spring Spirit Milk! What do we do now?"

"...Uh, right. Have any of you figured out how he did it?"

After this was said, all five commanders fell into deep thought.

A moment later, one of them exclaimed, "Damn! That little bastard Ning Yang's calculations are terrifying! From the moment we found him, he was already putting on a calculated performance!"

"He controlled the situation the entire time! We were all just being led by the nose!"

"That bastard, he's so shameless!"

"Ahem, enough cursing. We are the ones who should be reflecting on our own actions!"

"Indeed. We've grown complacent for far too long. We're not who we used to be."

All five of them sighed, a sense of dejection spreading among them.

"I don't care! I will get my revenge for this!" one of the commanders suddenly roared, slamming his palm on a table and shattering it to dust. Just a moment ago, memories buried deep within him had resurfaced. He remembered why he was here, and he remembered the cold shoulder his family had given him.

The Law Enforcement Commanders of the Heavenly Principle Star Realm bore the heavy responsibility of imprisoning powerful cultivators. Failure was not an option! The job sounded like a great responsibility, but in reality, their circumstances were no different from the cultivators they imprisoned. They had all been abandoned!

"Why should they get to enjoy lives of luxury and splendor while I'm trapped in this bitter, barren land! I will go back and take back everything that belongs to me!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the commander vanished.

The Earth Spring Spirit Milk! As soon as I get it, I'll dare to challenge the Star Realm's barrier, cross the void, and fight my way back to my family!

The remaining four commanders were also stirred, feeling a similar urge to act. Yet, none of them moved hastily. Instead, they extended their Divine Sense, tracking the commander who had just rushed out.

If possible, it would be much better to let him get the prize first, then deal with him. That little bastard Ning Yang has too many tricks up his sleeve. He might have already anticipated our next move and is just waiting for us to walk into a trap. Better to let that guy test the waters for us.

Meanwhile, the first commander to dash out seemed reckless, but he had a plan all along. He knew his advantage quite well.

I'm determined. The moment I see that bastard Ning Yang, I won't give him a single chance. I'll restrain him instantly, waste no words, kill those women, seize the Earth Spring Spirit Milk, and then obliterate him with a single palm strike!

The commander's plan was perfect. But when he finally found Ning Xuan, he was dumbfounded. The women were nowhere to be seen.

What the fuck! What is going on?!

The commander was bewildered.

This isn't how I pictured it at all. Whatever. His Dao Body was just destroyed. There's no way he could have constructed a new one with the exact same aura in such a short time! It doesn't matter if those women are here or not; he's my real target! An item as important as the Earth Spring Spirit Milk… he would never have entrusted it to them!

BOOM!

The commander had yet to arrive, but his attack was already underway.

Below, Ning Xuan reacted extremely quickly but still couldn't escape, his surroundings instantly sealed by his opponent's power. He immediately turned to face the commander who had landed in the distance.

"What is the meaning of this? You swore an oath—"

Before Ning Xuan could finish his sentence, a fist was already flying toward him.

A fist slammed into him, sending him flying three zhang. He looked down in astonishment at the gaping hole in his abdomen.

"Ning Yang, I don't want to be your enemy, but I truly need the Earth Spring Spirit Milk. Give it to me, and I will let you leave!" the commander said. He had already checked Ning Xuan's body for the Earth Spring Spirit Milk, but finding no trace of it, he had no choice but to ask.
