Chapter 1328 Mother, save me
Ning Ruan stared calmly at the other person, her fingers lightly tapping the scroll at her waist.
He said slowly, "We have no enmity."
"..."
"Since we have no enmity and do not know each other, then you are deliberately trying to cause trouble for us?"
The Silverwing Clan female cultivator's expression also darkened at this moment, and she coldly met Ning Ruan's gaze.
The latter shook his head to correct him, "It's not that I'm trying to cause you any trouble."
"I'm just curious."
"..."
"Regardless of your race, we have urgent business to attend to today, so we will not pursue the matter further."
The Silverwing Clan female cultivator spoke coldly, her gaze sweeping over the surrounding cultivators who had stopped to watch the show, and warned in a deep voice: "If you continue to cause trouble, don't blame us for being impolite."
After saying that, she pulled her Daoist companion aside and turned to leave.
At this moment, Ning Ruan said to the backs of the two people, "What urgent matter could two corpses that have been dead for who knows how long? Are they in such a hurry to find a good grave to be buried in peace?"
"!!!"
The Silverwing Clan female cultivator suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"What nonsense are you spouting?!"
The male cultivator turned his head away, his face extremely ugly, and shouted sharply.
Ning Ruan shrugged, looking relaxed: "I'm not lying. Although you hid it very well, a corpse is still a corpse, and the smell won't go away."
The surrounding cultivators' gazes instantly focused on them.
They had initially come to watch the spectacle, but now they became wary, instinctively taking a few steps back to create some distance.
Suspicious gazes fell on the two Silverwing Clan cultivators.
"How utterly rude of you!" The female cultivator glared angrily at Ning Ruan, her voice shrill. "You're spouting nonsense! Do you know the consequences?"
"Consequences?" Ning Ruan raised an eyebrow, about to speak.
From the crowd, someone asked Ning Ruan, "Young fellow Daoist, may I ask if you have any evidence to support your claim?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Ruan's lips curled slightly: "Proof?"
She glanced at the pair of Silverwing Clan cultivators and said in a light tone, "Killing them is the best proof, isn't it?"
"..."
The monk nearly choked on his words: "...So you have no evidence?"
Ning Ruan said indifferently, "Anyway, they are just corpse puppets."
"I've encountered them before in other Eternal Domains, but that time, they were there to capture young cultivators to make corpse puppets. As for now, I don't know why they've come."
She paused, then said, "Believe it or not, it's up to you."
After saying that, Ning Ruan turned around.
She didn't look at anyone else; the red sword flew out of her body and landed at her feet.
Alone with a sword, they quickly flew away from the city.
"He's actually a sword cultivator!"
"Sword cultivators wouldn't talk nonsense, would they?"
"..."
The onlookers exchanged bewildered glances.
They initially thought Ning Ruan was just being unreasonable.
At this moment, however, I felt uneasy.
If Ning Ruan continues to target those two people and insists that they are corpse puppets, they might even suspect that she has a grudge against that couple.
But her current attitude, her sudden departure, has left them somewhat uncertain.
"Don't listen to her nonsense!" The two Silverwing Clan members knew what they were thinking just by looking at everyone's expressions.
"He's deliberately targeting my wife and me!"
"What corpse puppet? That's utter nonsense! When have we ever had any death aura on us?"
"..." Deathly aura?
That's true.
At least none of the cultivators present could sense it.
Despite this, the surrounding cultivators were still retreating.
His expression clearly showed that he believed it.
……
Are we just leaving like this?
"if not?"
"...Fine, you did the right thing."
Inside the Soul-Nourishing Jade, Chi Ling sighed, "It's all for the best. Whether they believe it or not, at least they'll be wary of those two."
"But……"
"What exactly are they trying to do? This matter is probably really related to the Dark Phoenix Clan."
The previous three could perhaps be described as being expelled.
What about now?
Surely the Dark Phoenix Clan couldn't possibly expel a force, could they?
"I don't know." Ning Ruan hadn't thought that far ahead.
They've done everything they can. As long as the ten races aren't too stupid, they should know what to do next.
If you can't eat even when food is practically in your mouth, you might as well starve to death.
There aren't many cultivators outside the ten cities.
Ning Ruan only encountered a few such cases along the way.
They were all quite far apart, and dared not get close to each other.
There are still ten racial restrictions within the city.
Outside the city, it truly becomes a lawless land.
Ning Ruan had no intention of getting close to anyone.
A person was flying happily on a sword.
Just as she caught a glimpse of the outline of the magnificent palace on the mountain, a dark shadow descended from the sky and crashed down right beside her.
If she hadn't dodged quickly enough, that huge lump would probably have hit her on the head.
Ning Ruan: "..."
She glanced down at it subconsciously.
Hmm... it's a living thing.
It looks like it belongs to some kind of canine tribe, but which canine tribe exactly?
Ning Ruan really didn't notice.
The canine race also has several sub-races, but they are all ranked relatively low.
They belong to a species that is much later than the human race in the past.
Ning Ruan only glanced at it before looking away and preparing to leave.
In the distance, several figures rapidly approached.
The leader appeared to be of the Azure Scale Clan, and his cultivation level of the thirteenth realm was not concealed. Perhaps because he was chasing someone, his aura was clearly being released.
His gaze was like lightning, first sweeping over the dying black shadow on the ground, and then landing on Ning Ruan, who was hovering in mid-air.
"Fellow Daoist, this matter is none of your concern. Please leave quickly and do not meddle in other people's business."
His tone was quite mild.
Ning Ruan: "?"
have a finger in the pie?
Does she seem like someone who has that much free time?
Ning Ruan glanced at him, then looked at the dying canine cultivator on the ground.
She hadn't originally intended to get involved.
A flash of red light appeared beneath his feet, and he was about to leave.
However, just as she was about to soar into the sky, a weak yet unusually loud voice suddenly came from the dark shadow below.
"Mother! Mother, run! Your child will stop them!"
Ning Ruanyu's figure suddenly stiffened.
Even the five cultivators who had been chasing after them froze in their tracks.
The scene fell into a deathly silence.
All eyes were on Ning Ruan.
Ning Ruan: "?"
She slowly lowered her head and looked at the ground.
The dark, canine cultivator had somehow managed to get up, covered in blood, yet he adopted a tragic posture of loyally protecting his master, facing her with eyes full of filial piety.
After a brief moment of astonishment, the leader of the five cultivators who had caught up with them suddenly broke into a sinister grin.
"So they were in cahoots. No wonder they ran so fast and had someone to help them."
He waved his hand, his tone chilling: "Take them down! Don't let a single one of them escape!"
The four people behind her instantly dispersed, forming a circle that trapped Ning Ruan and the canine cultivator inside.
Ning Ruan: "???"
Are you blind?
"Can't you tell I'm human?"
The Azure Scale Clan cultivator seemed to have heard something very funny and couldn't help but chuckle:
"Humans? With the Illusionary Body Bead, what race can't they transform into?"
He sized Ning Ruan up and down. "I don't care what race you are, today, you and this mongrel dog are going to die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the aura of a thirteenth-realm expert erupted from his body, and a long spear with a cold, gleaming light appeared out of thin air in his hand, its tip pointing directly at Ning Ruan.
"Let's do it!"
