Chapter 61: The Red Apricot Comes Out of the Wall

  A few wails of the demon beast and a sword flash shot into the sky, causing Ning City to stop on his way through the Da'an Forest and carefully hide to one side.

  This is the scene of humans and monsters fighting, Ning City didn't think that in the depths of Da'an Forest, there were other people besides him. It has been 12 days since Ning City obtained the broken gun, according to his idea, as long as the map behind him was not wrong, he would leave Da'an Forest in about a month.

  At this time, he encountered someone fighting a monster in the Da'an Forest. Ning Cheng would not think that the person fighting the monster could be compared to the one who left behind the broken gun. However, those who can survive here must not be simple either.

  Being able to fight with the demon beasts here, Ning City didn't think that his opponent was anything special. In the past, he had only just entered the Qi Condensation stage and yet he was able to survive for several months by the Clear Water Lake. As long as one had a certain amount of strength, they could live in the Great Ancestor Forest without being invaded by other demon beasts.

  Again, several sword lights burst out, and some fluctuations of the true yuan were sensed by Ning City. Ning City knew that at least one person who fought against the demon beast was a condensing true cultivator. Not long after, the sword light dissipated, and the roar of the demon beast also disappeared, the battle should have ended.

  "Qihua, how did you come?" A low male voice reached Ning Cheng's ear.

  Immediately a clear and pleasant voice replied, "I'm a bit worried about you, come over and take a look, hmm..."

  It was a woman, but before she could finish speaking, it seemed like someone had covered her mouth. It should be that the two people were being intimate. Originally, it was a couple living in this place, Ning Cheng shook his head, he didn't want to continue going over to see what kind of people they were.

  The man was a cultivator of the Cong True Sect, and the woman must also be a cultivator of the Cong True Sect. A man and a woman stayed in the Da'an Forest, whether or not they were lost, Ning City didn't want to ask more questions. He had only gathered his energy for nine layers, even if he was confident that he was no weaker than an ordinary cultivator of the Cong True Sect, but this place was already close to the Yuanzhou, who knew if the other party was an ordinary cultivator of the Cong True Sect? Moreover, there were two people.

  To say nothing of these two people who often live in Da'an Forest, their fighting experience is absolutely rich and unparalleled, he doesn't need to join the fray.

  Just as Ning Cheng was about to leave, he suddenly felt that something was off. The name Qi Hua was very familiar to him, and Ning Cheng was certain that he had heard of these two words before.

  Ning Cheng stopped his urge to leave and waited for a while before confirming that the two had gone far away, then he carefully snuck over.

  He quickly arrived at the scene of the fight, where there were still some bloodstains and claw marks, as well as several sword scars that were clearly visible. Judging from the scene of the battle, it should have been a Condensing True Cultivator and a low-level demon beast fighting. As a result, the demon beast was killed and taken away by someone.

  After checking the nearby traces, Ning Cheng found the direction in which the two men had left and followed them with extreme caution.

  After a stick of incense, Ning City found that the traces he was following disappeared abruptly, and in front of him seemed to be just an ordinary forest.

  Ning Cheng carefully examined the surrounding scene and quickly understood that this was an array, probably a nearly third-level concealment array. Ning Cheng was only a second-level array master, but he had studied this array for a while and immediately grasped what was going on.

  In less than ten breaths, Ning City had passed through the formation and entered a vast expanse of lush greenery that made him wonder if he had arrived at a paradise on earth.

  Several beautifully-looking wooden houses were built in the middle of the green land, and there was a bamboo forest in front of the green land. There was a small path in the bamboo forest, and at the end of the path was a large lake. More than a dozen wild swans were swimming back and forth in the lake.

  Where is this in the Grand An Forest? This is clearly a paradise on earth. Here, compared to the tree hole he used to live in, it's simply heaven and hell.

  A woman in a green long dress walked out of the wooden house, carrying a bamboo basket with some green wild vegetables inside. Ning Cheng quickly took a few steps back and hid at the edge of the bamboo forest. From a distance, this woman's cultivation should be around the third layer of Congenital Realm.

  Ning Cheng originally could only see the woman's side profile, but when the green skirted woman walked through the bamboo forest and arrived at the lake shore, Ning Cheng finally saw her clearly.

  In an instant, Ning Cheng knew where he had heard the two words "Qi Hua" before. The eyes of the woman in front of him were 70% similar to those of his ex-fiancée Ji Luo Fei, and even their facial features were somewhat similar, except that Ji Luo Fei's face had been disfigured. Ning Cheng believed that if Ji Luo Fei hadn't been disfigured, they might have looked even more alike.

  Qihua heard this name from Jiluo Fei's mouth, he remembered that Jiluo Fei said her father was named Ji Xuanzhang and her mother was named Xiong Qihua.

  Ning Cheng was almost certain that this woman was Xiong Qihua, also known as Ji Luofei's mother. Was the man who had beheaded the demonic beast earlier Ji Luofei's father, Ji Xuanchang? But Ning Cheng's intuition told him that the man was not Ji Xuanchang.

  Ning Cheng was startled by his own thoughts, if the man wasn't Ji Xuanzhang, wouldn't Hu Qiuhua be secretly meeting someone behind Ji Luofei's father's back? And they even stayed in the Da'an Forest.

  He knew that Ji Luo Fei's parents went missing in the Da'an Forest, and then her grandfather took her to the Cang Qin country. If this woman is Xiong Qi Hua, then it means that Ji Luo Fei's mother didn't die after all. Since she didn't die, why not leave here and go to the Cang Qin country to find her own daughter?

  The woman in the green skirt came to the lake and took out the green wild vegetables from her bamboo basket, throwing them into the lake. The swans floating on the lake swam over and started fighting for the wild vegetables.

  "Qihua, the wild chives are not many now. Wait till I clear a piece of land and we'll plant some more." The man from the wooden house walked out and said this from afar before approaching the woman in green skirt.

  His low voice made Ning City feel extremely uncomfortable. However, when he saw the man's appearance, he couldn't help but secretly admire him. He was confident that he wasn't ugly and even had some charm. But compared to this person, he found his own appearance to be quite ordinary. Ning City had never seen anyone as handsome as the man in front of him, with a straight nose bridge, bright eyes topped with eyebrows more delicate than a woman's. If it weren't for his unpleasant voice, this person would be perfect.

  The green-robed woman named Qi Hua smiled slightly and stood up, "Hongwen, thank you."

  It was indeed not Ji Luofei's father, Ning Cheng thought to himself. He knew that Ji Luofei's father was named Ji Xuanchang and definitely wasn't someone named Hongwen.

  "Qihua, you stay in this Da'an forest for me, I'll ask Zhongwen to do it for you. As long as it makes you happy, even if it costs my life, I won't frown." The handsome man named Zhongwen said without hesitation.

  The woman in green hastily stretched out her hand to stop Zhu Hongwen's words, and as soon as she did, she was wrapped into his arms.

  Just as Zong Hongwen's hand was about to enter the green-robed woman's collar, the green-robed woman suddenly gasped and said, "Don't do it here, it's still daytime..."

  Hongwen kissed the forehead of the green-robed woman and said softly, "There are only two of us here, even if we do something, it won't..."

  "Who is it?" Zhū Hóngwén suddenly released the green-robed woman, and a flying sword appeared in his hand as he stared intently in the direction of Níng Chéng.

  Ning Cheng slowly got up, silently cursing his bad luck. Seeing his mother-in-law was one thing, but being discovered when he wanted to leave, wasn't that just the worst luck?

  As soon as he confirmed that the woman in front of him was Xiong Qihua, he didn't want to stay here anymore. In the future, if he could go to Meteorite Academy and see Ji Luofei, he would tell her that her mother was in Da'an Forest. Whether Ji Luofei's mother had an affair or not, it was all a matter of the Ji family, and had nothing to do with him.

  Although he was discovered, Ning Cheng didn't show much fear. That Zhou Hongwen was only a Fourth Layer Consolidated True Cultivator, and he believed that even if he couldn't defeat his opponent, he could still escape.

  "How did you get in?" The woman in the green skirt turned pale and started trembling all over when she saw that someone had really entered.

  "Qihua, don't be afraid, it's just a little demon, I'll go kill him." Zhu Hongwen comforted the green-robed woman and directly flew over to block Ning Cheng's path.

  At this time, he didn't waste any words with Ning Cheng either. His entire body was overflowing with killing intent, and the flying sword in his hand had already been imbued with his powerful killing intent as it attacked Ning Cheng.

  The sword's momentum surged up several meters long, far surpassing the aura he had when fighting that second-level demon beast before.

  However, in Ning Cheng's view, these sword auras were mostly flashy but lacked substance, just like his previous sword auras. They looked good, but could only intimidate those who didn't understand.

  At the same time as Jian Mang's arrival, Ning Cheng's remaining gun had already fallen into his hands and he fired another shot.

  The killing intent brought by the residual gun instantly shattered Zhu Hongwen's sword aura into four or five pieces. A sound of breaking through the air came after tearing apart the sword aura, and it directly arrived in front of Zhu Hongwen.

  "What's with the gun intent?" Zhong Wen's soul was startled, how could he have imagined that a Qi gathering cultivator would be so terrifying, and actually grasped a hint of gun intent? Was this something he had cultivated from the beginning with his gun techniques? Otherwise, where did a Qi gathering cultivator get gun intent from?

  It turned out that it wasn't killing aura, but gun intent. Ning Cheng only realized now that the two killing auras he had grasped were actually two different killing intents. However, his hands didn't slow down by even half a fraction, and the long spear was about to blast into Zhu Hongwen's chest.

  Hongwen's chest suddenly caved in, and the flying sword in his hand appeared on Ning Cheng's gun head as if it had grown eyes.

  A loud "ding" made their hearts jump, and Ning Cheng and Zhu Hongwen both took several steps back at the same time.
