I Have A Martial Arts Panel-Chapter 292 - Unusual Guest

The next day. The news that Harmony King Duan Yunyi was about to give up his position was announced to the public.

This news was quite sudden, so it caused quite a stir.

In addition to Duan Chaofeng, the other four young masters of the mansion also began to follow Duan Yunyi’s instructions, preparing to leave the mansion and return to their own fiefs.

Everything was going according to plan, but unexpectedly, before Duan Chaofeng could officially inherit the throne, the old Harmony King, Duan Yunyi, rushed to the imperial capital. This confused Duan Chaofeng, who was about to inherit the throne, but he couldn’t interfere with his father’s decision.

On this day, Xu Ning was holding the Flowing Cloud Piercer in his villa.

Since it had already been some time Xu Ning had received the Flowing Cloud Piercer, he had already completely grasped its power.

According to Duan Yunyi, this Flowing Cloud Piercer was a first-class melee secret treasure. Xu Ning also discovered that when he held the Flowing Cloud Piercer and activated the power of the dao realm, the lethality of the Flowing Cloud Piercer would increase. However, after some experimentation, Xu Ning discovered that this was not the strongest feature of the Flowing Cloud Piercer.

Other than that, the Flowing Cloud Piercer had two other special features.

Firstly, this Flowing Cloud Piercer contained spatial power.

After activating the spatial power and throwing the Flowing Cloud Piercer, the Flowing Cloud Piercer could temporarily hide between the void. And once it approached the enemy, the Flowing Cloud Piercer would appear from the void and attack the enemy. Xu Ning liked this ability. With it, he could easily launch sneak attacks. Unless it was an enemy who was extremely sensitive to spatial fluctuations, they would not be able to avoid the Flowing Cloud Piercer.

Secondly, the Flowing Cloud Piercer had the power to store strength before blowing up in an instant.

Xu Ning discovered that the Flowing Cloud Piercer could absorb his dao realm power and store it inside.

And when it touched an enemy, it would produce an explosive effect. This ability combined with the ability to hide in the void was an unbeatable assassin killer move, especially when combined with the secret treasure, Aura Concealment Ring, Xu Ning had previously obtained. All these could allow him to perfectly transform into a first-class assassin.

Xu Ning rubbed the Flowing Cloud Piercer in his hand.

“The Flowing Cloud Piercer must be extremely useful in the hands of the old Harmony King. He still gave me this Flowing Cloud Piercer, so I owe him a favor.’

Xu Ning knew that Duan Yunyi’s gift of the Flowing Cloud Piercer was an investment of goodwill.

The Harmony King was betting that Xu Ning could gain a firm foothold after entering the Core Sea Demon Sect and become a high-level member of the Core Sea Demon Sect, which would definitely bring benefits to Duan Chaofeng.

“Xu Ning.”

At this moment, Zhang He rushed over from outside.

“Brother Zhang?”

Xu Ning put away the Flowing Cloud Piercer and went out to welcome him.

“Why, are you here to collect your debt?”

Xu Ning saw Zhang He’s hurried footsteps and joked. He had yet to return the 3 million units of energy that Zhang He had lent him.

“No.”

Zhang He waved his hand and said, “Let’s go and pick someone up outside the city.” “Pick someone up?”

Xu Ning raised his eyebrows. “Who?”

“To fetch the guests of His Highness.”

Zhang He said, “Isn’t the ceremony for the Crown Prince to succeed the Harmony King tomorrow? Now, everyone in State Guqing has sent their representatives to congratulate the Crown Prince.”

“A lot of people have entered the city two days ago, and they have all been settled.”

“Just now, there was news from outside the city that the Sect Master of the Shock Sect and his entourage have arrived outside the city, and they need us to pick them up.”

‘Guests from the Shock Sect…’

Xu Ning thought about it and said, “Let’s go.” The Shock Sect was an old sect in State Guqing.

This sect was very prosperous hundreds of years ago. They had a close relationship with the Harmony King Mansion, and both sides even had marriage connections.

However, over the past few hundred years, the masters of the Shock Sect began to wither, and among the younger generation, there were no talents who could control the overall situation of the sect, causing no high level dao realm masters to be born from the sect.

But even so, the relationship between the Shock Sect and the Harmony King Mansion was still close. It was still an important friend of the Harmony King Mansion.

Therefore, when the representatives from the Shock Sect arrived, Xu Ning and Zhang He, the two people who represented Duan Chaofeng the most, had to welcome them on behalf of Duan Chaofeng.

Soon after, Xu Ning and Zhang He arrived at a distance more than ten miles away from the city and began to wait.

Along with them was also a team of soldiers from the mansion.

These soldiers from the mansion were wearing armor and holding dao spears. They looked mighty and fierce.

Bringing these soldiers from the mansion here was also a form of respect for the representatives of the Shock Sect.

Caw!

Not long after, a black shadow appeared on the distant horizon and let out a cry at the same time.

“Here they come!” Xu Ning and Zhang He looked into the distance.

More than a dozen giant birds rushed over with human figures on their backs. 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖

After seeing Xu Ning and Zhang He’s team on the ground, they also landed.

Dozens of people got off the birds.

They were all wearing cyan-colored clothes.

The leader was a middle-aged core transformation realm master.

Several people followed closely behind him.

“Sect Master Gong!”

This was obviously not the first time Zhang He had seen the leader, so he took the initiative to welcome him.

“Master Zhang!”

Sect Master Gong, who was in the core transformation realm, also squeezed out a smile and greeted Zhang He politely.

Zhang He was already a trusted subordinate of the heir, and now that he was a trusted subordinate of the future Harmony King, thus, Sect Master Gong was naturally very enthusiastic about Zhang He.

Sect Master Gong’s full name was Gong Weiyi. He had been the Sect Master of the Shock Sect for decades, and he was quite famous in State Guqing

“We have received orders from His Highness to wait for everyone from the Shock Sect!”

Zhang He said.

“Thank you for your trouble.”

Gong Weiyi quickly thanked him.

“This is?”

At this moment, Gong Weiyi noticed Xu Ning next to him.

He noticed that Xu Ning was standing beside Zhang He with a calm expression. From the looks of it, his status was obviously not inferior to Zhang He.

“This is Xu Ning, a guest of our mansion.”

Zhang He introduced.

“Xu Ning?” After hearing Xu Ning’s name, Gong Weiyi’s eyes lit up.

“Master Xu, I have heard a lot about you!”

Gong Weiyi cupped his fists towards Xu Ning.

Gong Weiyi had heard about Xu Ning’s recent reputation.

“Sect Master Gong.”

Xu Ning responded with a greeting.

“You must be tired from the journey, please follow us into the city and take a rest.”

Zhang He made an inviting gesture.

At that moment, the soldiers from the mansion had already pulled over a carriage.

Although everyone present was a martial arts master, they were still more than ten miles away from the city, so it was not appropriate to make them walk over. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖

“Please.”

Afterwards, Xu Ning, Zhang He, Gong Weiyi, and a young man and woman behind him got into the carriage.

This carriage was pulled by eight demon beast horses of the same bloodline. The interior of the carriage was extremely large, with tables and chairs set up.

Soon, the carriage started to move, and the group of people rushed towards the city.

“Sect Master Gong, are these two your beloved disciples?”

On the carriage, Zhang He glanced at the young man and young woman next to Gong Weiyi and asked casually.

Gong Weiyi had a proud look on his face when asked by Zhang He.

“That’s right, these two are my personal disciples.”

Gong Weiyi said, “The two of them are the hope of the Shock Sect. Compared to me, the two of them are more likely to reach the elementary origin realm and lead the Shock Sect back to its peak.”

“Oh?”

Xu Ning and Zhang He looked at the two.

Gong Weiyi’s two disciples seemed a little cautious when being stared at by Xu Ning and Zhang He.

‘They are both in the second stage of the dao realm. Although their realms are low, they are not old, both in their thirties.’

Xu Ning thought to himself after a rough gauge. A thirty-year-old dao realm master was indeed rare.

Not everyone was as relaxed as Xu Ning when trying to advance through realms.

“Gao Jian, Chu Shan, come and greet the two masters.”

Gong Weiyi said in a low voice.

“Greetings, masters…”

The male disciple named Gao Jian and the female disciple named Chu Shan quickly stood up and greeted the two.

They had been following Gong Weiyi since earlier, so they had no opportunity to interrupt.

“Take a seat.”

Zhang Yi waved his hand.

“Huh?”

Xu Ning suddenly stared at Gao Jian and narrowed his eyes.

He felt that something was wrong.

As soon as Gao Jian greeted him and their eyes met, Xu Ning felt instinctively uncomfortable.

‘What’s going on?’

Xu Ning remained calm on the surface, but he began to think in his heart.

After advancing to the core transformation realm, Xu Ning’s perception had risen to another level.

He had a strong foundation and a sensitive perception. The strange feeling just now must have been because something was wrong. “Gao Jian…”

Xu Ning took the initiative to speak.

“Huh?”

Gao Jian was obviously taken aback when he was called out by Xu Ning.

“Gao Jian, what are you waiting for?”

Gong Weiyi looked unhappy when he saw this.

He hoped that his beloved disciple could get closer to Xu Ning and Zhang He. If that could come true, the future of these two disciples might be easier. “Master Xu.”

Gao Jian seemed to only react after the reminder.

“I noticed that your aura is stable. When you were in the void realm, your martial arts foundation must have been quite good.”

Xu Ning smiled and praised.

After being praised by Xu Ning, Gao Jian seemed a little terrified. “This is all due to Master’s guidance.”

“Mmm…”

Xu Ning nodded.

Without any warning, Xu Ning struck the power of dao realm into Gao Jian’s body.

Gong Weiyi and Zhang He couldn’t react at all.

‘Sure enough, there is a problem!’

Xu Ning’s expression changed the next instant.
