The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 266 - 164 Savior_2

Thunder, the mechanism of heaven and earth. Thunder is the command of heaven and earth, capable of shaking all demons into submission. In terms of cultivation and Daoist skills, he is far stronger than the Nascent Soul Stage woman, but as a demon himself, he has a natural reverence for the Five Thunders Technique. With the backing of Chaoyun Sect behind the woman, it’s not time yet to burn bridges.

Miluo’s gaze drifted uncertainly. Ning Xiaoxian was elated inside; it seemed she might escape this disaster today!

He did indeed hesitate. Even if he could win over her today, the price he would have to pay would not be small. There have been few chances for him to take action in recent years, and he prides himself on being more clever than most. Those who prefer to use schemes rarely fancy a straight fight, and he is no exception.

Let it be; only he knows the secrets about this girl. It would be just the same to take her later. Hu Huoer cannot possibly stay by her side at every moment for the rest of her life.

"Let it be. Today you have Hu Xianzi to protect you, Miss Ning, let’s meet again in the future," he looked at Ning Xiaoxian deeply, "I hope the next time we meet, you will have thought it over."

Thought it over? Impossible, the only thing she would think over is how to get rid of his tracking! Ning Xiaoxian swore in her heart. If worse comes to worst, Granny will just squat back in the Water Mansion and discuss countermeasures after Changtian leaves seclusion!

Having decisively seen that he could not take Ning Xiaoxian away, he didn’t linger on and instead threw out his Magic Artifact and flew away through the skies. She gazed into the sky with a look of concern; the next time this man came, she might not have Hu Huoer to shield her anymore.

What should she do then?

As she turned her head, she saw Hu Huoer smiling at her. Ning Xiaoxian put aside her worries and sincerely thanked her, then remembered to ask, "Hu Xianzi, what brings you to this desolate wilderness?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Recently, there was a major incident in Rock City. The Sect Leader sent me with the leading team to assist in any troubles we might encounter," she explained. Though she was only in the late stages of the Nascent Soul, she practiced a mental method so against the heavens that even Tantai Yi, a cultivator in the Divinity Transformation Stage, found her troublesome.

"Hmm... they were discussing matters in the city, and I was a little bored, so I wandered around the area and then discovered your whereabouts..."

Just taking a stroll and she found her? Ning Xiaoxian looked at her skeptically. If she were so easy to find, other pursuers from Fengtian Prefecture would have captured her long ago, and it wouldn’t be Hu Huoer’s turn to search for her.

Feeling the pressure from Ning Xiaoxian’s gaze, Hu Huoer coughed and said, "Alright, the truth is, I used a bit of a secret technique on the Jade Pendant that Tantai gave you. As long as you’re not too far from me, I’ll always find you."

Ning Xiaoxian was caught between laughter and tears. Hu Huoer was savvy enough to leave a secret technique on her for tracking purposes; it showed that sometimes she was quite clever. But if she intended to track her, why did she destroy the tracking Jade Talisman given by the Sect Leader? She truly couldn’t comprehend this woman’s way of thinking.

Hu Huoer’s face turned red, seemingly embarrassed. If it were any other cultivator receiving dissatisfaction from a mortal, they would likely smack them death in retaliation. Yet Hu Huoer seemed to have a childlike mindset, and the thought of using a Tracking Secret Method on Ning Xiaoxian felt vastly different from her usual straightforward conduct, making her feel somewhat guilty.

"How did I not notice it?" She really should be asking why Changtian hadn’t noticed it.

Hu Huoer proudly said, "It’s a secret technique of my people, not classified under Divine Skills. It’s fundamentally undetectable to those unaware of its details."

Ning Xiaoxian praised: "Impressive, impressive!" Her admiration was indeed genuine. The ability to elude Changtian’s perception was remarkable. Her expression fell as she added, "Ah, this guy has set his sights on me. After you leave and he comes back, what should I do then?"

Hu Huoer ran her hands through her hair with a laugh, "Do you think Fengtian Prefecture’s Young Master has nothing better to do than to hang around after you all day? He’s the second in command of Fengtian Prefecture, usually incredibly busy. You should feel honored that he found time to try and catch you today."

Ning Xiaoxian retorted reluctantly, "I’d rather not have that honor, thank you."

"He wants to catch you to be his village chief’s wife?"

Breaking into a cold sweat, Hu the Fairy was certainly not from Central Earth with her lack of demureness: "He fancies something a friend gave me and insists on taking it. But I don’t want to give it to him!" Normally, she would never reveal so much, yet for some reason, she felt Hu Xianzi wasn’t a bad person.

Hu Huoer said, "Well, I can’t help you there. If he personally came to catch you, it shows he takes this matter seriously. At most, I can protect you for a couple of days, but the day after tomorrow I must return to the Sect with my fellow disciples." Given her high standing in Chaoyun Sect, most of those who ventured out were her Junior Martial Nephews and even later generations, all respectfully addressing her as ’Master Aunt’ (or ’Ancestor’).

Ning Xiaoxian said, "You can’t save a persistent debtor; you can’t protect me for life, I’ll have to figure out a solution myself. Speaking of which, why didn’t Tantai Immortal’s Jade Talisman work just then?"

Hu Huoer wondered, "How so?" After Ning Xiaoxian recounted the incident, Hu Huoer laughed and explained, "That Jade Talisman is for blocking a lethal attack. If the attack you encountered wasn’t deadly, then it wouldn’t activate. Otherwise, if every scrape or tumble were to exhaust its efficacy, Tantai’s favor wouldn’t be worth much."

Ning Xiaoxian broke out in sweat. Higher-level Magic Artifacts were indeed more intelligent, even able to determine if an attack was lethal to her. It seemed in the underground river beneath Wen Residence, had it not been for the Jade Talisman blocking a fatal blow from Canglong, she would have long met her demise. With this realization, she couldn’t help but feel profound gratitude to this pair of benefactors.

Then Hu Huoer added, "Tantai gave you something without explaining it properly. He’s always this careless. Ah, now I remember, it was on that day, and he was too busy hiding from me to have time to explain in detail." The more she spoke, the more she seemed dejected. (To be continued.
