Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 92 A Huge Misunderstanding, Yuan Yurong’s Olive Branch!
"Yurong, should we continue killing?"
After the last onlooker was killed, an elder with a terrifying aura appeared beside Yuan Yurong. The air around them seemed to freeze. For this expedition into the Pride Hunting Ground, Yuan Yurong was the supreme decision-maker. Her word was law! If she wanted a Su Yue Zhuai Martial Artist dead, no one dared to defy her!
"Miss, we may be from the Star Moon Pavilion, but we are still part of Su Yue Zhuai. Don’t you think this is going too far?" an expert from the Star Moon Pavilion spoke up, his voice heavy. Anyone who dared to speak at a time like this naturally held a high status.
However, with a mere flick of her delicate hand, Yuan Yurong turned him into a headless corpse.
"Did I give you permission to speak?" an indifferent voice asked.
The Martial Artists of the Star Moon Pavilion fell as silent as cicadas in winter. This woman is terrifying. She’ll kill you for any disobedience, and she won’t even give you a chance to beg for mercy!
They had no objections, but Ning Xuan was not pleased.
"Miss, could you leave a few for me? Next time you want to kill someone, just say the word. I can help."
Before Yuan Yurong could speak, the elder beside her made a suggestion. "Since this is the Pride Hunting ground, perhaps the blood of a top prodigy is required for it to work."
Yuan Yurong’s beautiful eyes lit up. "Kill him! And remember, don’t damage his face."
"Yes!"
Their momentum was overwhelming. The Martial Artists from the Star Moon Pavilion were especially thrilled—they were finally spared! They immediately charged toward Ning Xuan at top speed. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
SWOOSH!
Sword Qi crisscrossed the air as one head after another was sent flying. The Martial Artists from the Star Moon Pavilion who came this time were all in the Heavenly Realm! Yet now, not a single one could withstand a single sword strike from Ning Xuan.
Instant kills. Every last one of them. He was mowing them down like grass.
"Interesting. Only in the Earth Realm, yet he possesses such combat power." Joy was written all over Yuan Yurong’s face, as if Ning Xuan weren’t killing her own people.
"The Human Emperor back then was probably no better," the elder beside her remarked with a sigh.
Yuan Yurong warned, "Uncle Qingshan, it’s one thing for others to use that title, but you must be careful with your words."
The elder’s face suddenly changed. He instinctively looked around, his forehead instantly beaded with sweat. Among Su Yue Zhuai’s younger generation, the most famous on the continent was the Saintess. Only they, however, knew that the truly terrifying one was someone else. If the title "Human Emperor" reached that person’s ears, one would suffer a fate worse than death.
"Uncle Qingshan, don’t you think it would be interesting if we had Ning Xuan join Su Yue Zhuai?"
The elder’s face paled. "Yurong, you..."
"Relax, I’m just musing. He might not even want what others so desperately seek." Yuan Yurong sighed inwardly. What a pity. If it were possible, I really wouldn’t want to be his enemy.
Yuan Yurong glanced over. Ning Xuan had just stopped, and all the Martial Artists from the Star Moon Pavilion had been annihilated.
He stared at Yuan Yurong without moving. This woman is far too composed. She must have another trick up her sleeve.
"Young Master Ning, what impressive skill. Our Su Yue Zhuai has always valued talent, so why don’t we collaborate? Once I return to the Sect, I’ll be sure to help clear up this misunderstanding for you," Yuan Yurong said, clapping her hands without hiding her admiration for him.
"Collaborate? I’m all ears," Ning Xuan said, making a show of listening intently.
"To be frank, the Element Vein behind me was originally a Heavenly Grade Element Vein. However, a portion of its essence was devoured by a divine beast, causing its grade to drop. I had intended to use blood qi to lure it out, but alas..." Yuan Yurong shook her head, her face full of disappointment.
Ning Xuan’s expression turned odd. An Element Vein with its essence partially absorbed... why does that sound so familiar, like something I would do?
"I need to see the Element Vein for myself," Ning Xuan stated calmly.
Yuan Yurong readily agreed and gestured for him to pass.
Ning Xuan strode forward without the slightest hesitation or caution. Both Yuan Yurong and Yuan Qingshan looked surprised. He’s so bold! He’s not at all afraid we’ll suddenly attack him.
Ning Xuan walked right past them and entered the Element Vein mine. Yuan Qingshan remained outside while Yuan Yurong followed Ning Xuan in.
Inside, Ning Xuan made a show of stroking the cavern walls. He was now one hundred percent certain that the decline in the Heavenly Grade Element Vein’s quality was all his doing, a result of the energy he had absorbed for his cultivation. This realization left Ning Xuan feeling quite unsettled. He had originally assumed his rapid advancement in his Cultivation Realm was due to the rich Element Qi and abundance of Element Crystals in this place. But it turned out to be because of a Heavenly Grade Element Vein! If he were to advance past the Earth Realm and enter the Human Realm, wouldn’t the energy required be astronomical? I’m so screwed!
"Young Master Ning, is it a heartbreaking sight? To be honest, when I discovered that the Heavenly Grade Element Vein’s energy was being drained, I was even more heartbroken than you are now," Yuan Yurong said, genuinely intending to reconcile with Ning Xuan.
What could Ning Xuan say? Can I possibly tell her I’m the one who did it? He could only nod in agreement. "Yes, it’s truly heartbreaking."
"That’s why I’m willing to spare no expense to capture that divine beast! If we cooperate, we will definitely succeed!"
Seeing her confidence, Ning Xuan’s interest was piqued. He decided to test the waters. "But we’re talking about a divine beast. Its strength probably surpasses even an Emperor Realm Martial Artist! Even if we work together, we won’t be able to handle it!"
"You don’t need to worry about that. As long as it shows itself, I have a way to suppress it!" Yuan Yurong was supremely confident.
"You want me to be the bait to lure it out, don’t you? Fine, I can agree to that. But you have to show me your trump card," Ning Xuan said, putting on an honest and curious expression.
Yuan Yurong stared at Ning Xuan without blinking. Ning Xuan met her gaze fearlessly. In the end, Yuan Yurong gave in. "What can I say? You’re handsome. I’ll trust you."
With that, Yuan Yurong took off her Storage Ring and handed it to Ning Xuan.
"Isn’t this a bit much?" Ning Xuan said, even as his hand shot out to snatch the ring.
Yuan Yurong’s mouth twitched. She gestured with her hand. "Take a look inside."
Ning Xuan extended his Divine Sense into it and was instantly startled. This is no ordinary Storage Ring; the space inside is an entire world! It’s absurdly large. No, that’s not all... There’s a terrifying principle at work in here! At the controller’s will, anything that enters this space can be restrained—including Divine Sense!
Ning Xuan was alarmed but not afraid. If she wanted to move against me, she wouldn’t have waited until now. I might as well take a good look around!
Instead of retreating, Ning Xuan’s Divine Sense boldly snooped around as if it owned the place, touching this and peering at that. Suddenly, he felt his Divine Sense being forcefully ejected.
At the same time, the ring was snatched from his hand by Yuan Yurong.
"Why are you touching things you shouldn’t?!" she demanded, looking both embarrassed and annoyed.
Ning Xuan was bewildered. What did I touch?
"Miss, you’re the one who invited me to look. You can’t be so... ahem. By the way, do you have any more of these Storage Rings? I’d love one," Ning Xuan said, suddenly recalling what his Divine Sense had touched and cleverly changing the subject.
"You think these grow on trees? This is considered a treasure even in Su Yue Zhuai. However, if you were to join our Sect, you could certainly have one."
Ning Xuan’s gaze flickered. "Perhaps there’s another way!"
