Chapter 1898: Chapter 1888: Nangong Bing Activates the Star Ring’s Power
"Alright, alright, I say, Nangong old man, this isn’t some life-and-death parting, look at you with your lack of resolve. Since we left Zhonghai, you’ve been going on and on, if it were me, I’d be annoyed with you too, going on endlessly like that. Look at you, all concerned over nothing. Isn’t it just the Divine Sky Sect? At worst, the South Heavenly Gate and Divine Sky Sect will fight to the bitter end!" All along the way, Nangong Shui kept chattering without stopping, making the old man more and more uncomfortable with each passing moment.
In his heart, he was equally worried about Lin Zifeng’s current whereabouts. Ever since Lin Zifeng’s battle with the Divine Sky Sect, there was virtually no news of his whereabouts. The old man had spent several nights without closing his eyes, and the moment he lay down, tears would stream down uncontrollably. Lin Zifeng could be said to be personally nurtured by him.
From an ordinary mercenary to a young warrior daring to challenge the Divine Sky Sect, only to disappear just like that. His heart felt as if it was stabbed with needles. He treated him like his own son. From the beginning, the kid was quite pitiful, losing his parents, surviving by sheer will alone.
"Damn it, tonight we are heading to the Divine Sky Sect. Whether the kid is dead or alive, I’m going to make the Sect Master of the Divine Sky Sect give me justice!"
Jia Zhenjing cursed with a frown. His mind was heavy with thoughts, unsure whether Lin Zifeng was still alive now.
"Alright, let’s move tonight." Nangong Bing said faintly, then left with a despondent expression, walking alone under a quiet large tree, her eyes red and her mind constantly flashing with memories of the time with Lin Zifeng...
......
Without Lin Zifeng’s control, the South Heavenly Gate was thrown into chaos. This was the first biggest fatal mistake that Nangong Bing had made in her life~
That same night ~ the Divine Sky Sect received news from the South Heavenly Gate. Sect Leader Shen Ji of the Divine Sky Sect flew into a rage. One Lin Zifeng had already stirred the Divine Sky Sect up, and before the previous wave calmed, another arose. This undoubtedly was a slap in the face of the Divine Sky Sect. If word got out, estimates are that the Taishang Sect, the Demon God Sect, and other powers would laugh till their teeth fall out...
"Gather Shen Wuji, Peak Master of Piaomiao Peak, Shen Zhan, Peak Master of Jiuqu Peak, Shen Huadong of Beichen Peak, Shen Bingxue of Nine Domain Peak... Tonight, our Divine Sky Sect will have a fierce confrontation with the South Heavenly Gate. I really want to see what kind of power this South Heavenly Gate has!"
"Yes!!!"
In the Grand Hall of the Divine Sky Sect, many powerful members of the Divine Sky Sect gathered, and at the command of Sect Leader Shen Ji, practically all the Peak Masters congregated there～
......
That night~ Nangong Bing had insisted on heading to the Divine Sky Sect overnight, but was refuted by Nangong Shui, believing that there was absolutely no way his precious daughter should go at that moment. Knowing that the Divine Sky Sect was full of experts, although her cultivation was high after she became a demon, once her identity as a Demon Cultivator was exposed, the entire world would hunt her down. At that point, even with the South Heavenly Gate’s significant background, it wouldn’t stand a chance against the whole world in battle!
But... all the worries were unnecessary. The mistake was that the South Heavenly Gate should not have made this wrong decision! Proactively going to the Divine Sky Sect was undoubtedly a suicidal decision, and ultimately led to the tragic result of Lin Zifeng fighting the world for Nangong Bing!
Whiz whiz whiz...
In the pitch-black night sky, brilliant purple qi streaked across...
Led by Shen Ji of the Divine Sky Sect, the peak masters of several main peaks personally arrived, with strong members of the Seventh Layer Heaven and Eighth Layer Heaven being innumerable!
"Wake up! There’s danger!"
At this moment, Jia Zhenjing, who had been staying up all night, suddenly leapt up from the ground. With sharp eyes casting two cold glances.
Thump～
His heart suddenly sank, his thick eyebrows furrowed tightly. A strong sense of unease welled up.
Since leaving Zhonghai City, his inner world had been fraught with an extremely strong sense of unease, not for anything else, but simply because this was beyond the reach of the South Heavenly Gate, and if any mishap occurred, there would almost be no aid available to help them.
Swish, swish, swish... swish, swish, swish...
Everyone was awakened. The moment Nangong Bing got up, a great malicious intent gleamed in her eyes; earlier, she hadn’t actually been resting but had closed her eyes trying to maintain a subtle connection with the Star Ring.
This time, on her quest to find out the whereabouts of Lin Zifeng, she had set especially strict demands on herself, having to enhance her cultivation ability. She didn’t want to become a burden to others; she wanted to rise to the occasion and save her man!
"Lin Zifeng of the South Heavenly Gate is already overconfident enough, I didn’t expect his self-established South Heavenly Gate to be such an overconfident mob!"
Crash—
Dozens of meters up in the night sky, Shen Ji, dressed in a purple robe, floated in mid-air, hands behind his back, looking downward. Though he appeared like an immortal on the surface, who would know that his nature was rotten to the core?
Swish～
Swish～
Next, Shen Wuji, Peak Master of the First Peak of the Divine Sky Sect, appeared in mid-air as well, using powerful primordial energy to make his body extremely light, allowing him to stay suspended momentarily.
Before long, the top four peak masters of the Divine Sky Sect all descended together.
The intense killing aura felt almost tangible, making everyone present extremely uneasy.
However, the most anxious and restless among them was Nangong Bing, who had been holding her breath and concentrating from the moment Shen Ji appeared.
She kept silently reminding herself.
She was reaching out to the Star Ring, but the Star Ring didn’t always respond to her attempts to manipulate it.
"Star Ring, oh Star Ring, what’s wrong with you? Weren’t you working fine at home? Why do you not respond at all when I call for you now? Ah ah ah! Quickly change me, turn me blood red. I need to defeat these enemies, I need to save my husband Lin Zifeng, give me a sign, please～"
No matter how much Nangong Bing tried to invoke a reaction from the Star Ring, the damn ring remained completely unresponsive and couldn’t transform her into a demonic form on demand.
This made Nangong Bing sweat profusely with anxiety, wanting to yank the Star Ring off and smash it to the ground.
When at home before coming, she had experimented with the power of the Star Ring, being able to control it and harness its demonizing ability. Out of ten trials, she succeeded seven to eight times.
Having this ability gave her the courage to come over in the first place. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have wanted to be a burden to everyone. It was precisely because of this ability that she knew she couldn’t be without her father and couldn’t lose Lin Zifeng. She decided that, come life or death, they must face it together.
But now, with both forces on the brink of conflict and her Star Ring seemingly dead, not giving any reaction at all, Nangong Bing was extremely anxious, with sweat pouring from her forehead. Could it be that the Star Ring is beyond her control?
Impossible! I clearly feel like I can control it, why can’t it fulfill its critical function when I need it?
(The fourth update ends, good night. Sweet dreams~)
