Chapter 1250 He knew it was a lie.
"But I also possess a celestial artifact capable of suppressing the Void Realm."
That indifferent voice rang out again.
His tone was calm and even, yet it carried an undeniable confidence.
The words "immortal artifact" naturally provide the basis for confidence.
The atmosphere in the hall was solemn.
None of the powerful members of the Flame Spider Clan responded.
It seems they are considering the feasibility of this matter.
After a while.
Fang Ren said in a deep voice, "But what about the human race..."
"Humans?" The indifferent voice scoffed. "You need not worry about this."
He paused, as if considering his words, "The human race will soon be too busy to care about themselves, and they may not have time to worry about Ning Ruan."
"Could it be that you... are also planning to take action against the human race?" The Flame Spider Clan expert asked cautiously, his words carrying a hint of probing and barely concealed shock.
The human race of today is not the same as the one they once thought it was, a race that had declined to the point of being on the verge of extinction.
Everyone says that the Flame Spider Clan is very secretive and has hidden its strength for many years, but how could they not know the truth?
If it weren't for this person who came with celestial artifacts, provided several previously unheard-of pill formulas, and added spiritual artifacts and talismans to help them quickly increase their strength... they might still be fighting the Hundred Flowers Clan right now.
Oh, not necessarily.
If their strength hadn't increased dramatically, they would never have gone to war with the Hundred Flowers Clan.
Only when you become strong will you dare to show your ambition.
They were incapable of having ambition back then.
In short, the human race is the one that truly keeps its secrets.
They simply rode the coattails of others to rise to prominence in a short period of time.
To be honest, if we're talking about those who are truly secretive, besides humans, it's this race that lent them a helping hand...
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
His indifferent voice turned cold and sharp, and he didn't care at all that there were several powerful people in the hall whose cultivation was above his. He simply said in a low voice, "Knowing too much is of no benefit to you all or to the Flame Spider Clan."
Even with his attitude, no one present showed any dissatisfaction.
Instead, they tacitly avoided that topic.
They then inquired about other things.
"Fellow Daoist, do you intend to personally pursue and kill Ning Ruan?"
"nature."
"But the two places are very far apart..."
"It doesn't matter, I have my own way."
"In that case, I wish you a successful journey, fellow Daoist."
The indifferent voice remained silent.
Naturally, he never showed his face.
A moment later, a powerful member of the Flame Spider Clan spoke, "He's gone."
Another person said, "It should be some kind of teleportation talisman that can fix the location."
"Won't it go wrong to use a celestial artifact to kill Ning Ruan?"
“Ning Ruan is different. She might still be carrying a celestial artifact. As long as we can really kill her, we won’t lose out no matter what.”
"She still carries a celestial artifact? That can't be right. Perhaps it has already been taken back by the human race."
"Putting aside the celestial artifacts, aren't those paintings on her, whose origins are unknown, worth the risk?"
"Using immortal artifacts will inevitably attract the attention of the Eternal Domain."
"So what? The immortal artifact isn't ours. Even if it gets noticed, it's none of our business."
"...That's true, let them fight it out."
"Alas, the Boundless Realm is likely to descend into chaos..."
"It's chaos that gives us our chance, isn't it?"
"..."
……
Chi Huang finally received news from his clan.
But it's not good news.
The clan actually made him withdraw.
The few remaining members of the clan within the painted array also became expendable pawns.
No further rescue is needed.
His face darkened as he withdrew the communication talisman and looked ahead to draw an array.
Ning Ruan is still killing people.
He wields swords and fists, and occasionally unleashes water and fire elemental magic.
"..."
A genius is a true genius.
Even he, who could barely be considered an enemy, had to admit that Ning Ruan's talent was simply too strong.
Even disregarding these paintings, as long as she grows up, she will surely become a renowned powerhouse among all races in the future.
"Elder, Elder, save me!"
The cries for help from within the painted array pulled Chi Huang back from his complicated thoughts.
He looked up and saw that Chi Ye's junior brother, who was also a Golden Core cultivator and a backbone of the Flame Spider Clan, was being trampled under Ning Ruan's feet.
They were completely powerless to resist.
The wounds on his body were charred black, caused by Ning Ruan's fire-type spiritual technique.
At this moment, his face was covered in blood, and his eyes were filled with despair and pleading as he stared intently in his direction.
Actually, the distance is quite far.
His location was completely invisible to the naked eye.
Only divine sense could barely detect it.
But the despair and pleading conveyed in those eyes were all too clear and all too scorching.
In the end, Chi Huang gritted his teeth and said, "Let's retreat first."
"What?" A young cultivator from the patrol team couldn't help but ask, his voice trembling, "What about Elder Chisong and the others...?"
Elder Chisong is a Golden Core cultivator.
They're not going to save him either?
Chi Huang slowly closed his eyes, then opened them again, his eyes filled with only a cold, resolute look.
"Retreat first."
"..."
The patrolling monks exchanged glances, wanting to object, but ultimately fearing Chi Huang's authority, they dared not disobey.
He ignored the piercing cries for help behind him.
Chi Huang left without saying a single harsh word.
When Ning Ruan scanned the area with her divine sense, she only saw the flying magical artifact that the other party was rapidly departing.
This……
This is...
We agreed that she should give us an explanation.
"It seems you really are going to die."
Ning Ruan held her sword towards the dying Flame Spider Clan cultivator below.
Although his cultivation level is unclear, in terms of his methods, he is the most difficult opponent I have encountered so far, aside from that elder.
His original cultivation level must have been quite high.
Chishong was still gazing in the direction where Chihuang and his group had left.
Hearing Ning Ruan's words, he finally looked away and stared intently at her. "Whether they leave or not, you...you won't let me go...cough cough..."
"Yes, that's right." Ning Ruan readily admitted, "I already said, I'm definitely going to kill you all."
Chisong: "..."
He simply closed his eyes. His clansmen had fled. Now he was so badly injured that he couldn't even self-destruct. What chance did he have of surviving?
"If you want to kill, kill."
"We're really unlucky this time...we ran into you."
Ning Ruan nodded: "It really is unlucky."
Chisong: "..."
He suddenly fell silent, as if he had died.
Ning Ruan, however, was not in a hurry to kill him. She gently touched the tip of her sword to the side of Chisong's neck, and the cool touch made the latter's eyelids tremble.
She tilted her head slightly and asked curiously, "Why did your people run away? They were just trying to save you, why did they suddenly abandon you?"
Red Pine remained silent.
"Tsk." Seeing this, Ning Ruan kicked his deepest wound on his chest with her toe, controlling the force precisely within the range of 'very painful but not fatal for the time being'. "You're not dead, so why aren't you saying anything? This is making things difficult for me."
In Ning Ruan's hand, the crimson longsword trembled slightly, emitting a clear hum. Immediately afterward, Xiao Hong's childish voice rang out: "Not speaking is impolite, Xiao Hong will not learn that."
"..."
A vein throbbed on Akamatsu's forehead: "..."
If he had known he might die at the hands of this foul-mouthed bastard sword, he might as well have taken the gamble and self-destructed.
Politeness... Should we check what kind of relationship they have now?
We're enemies, why do you still answer every question?
"I don't know," he managed to squeeze out through gritted teeth.
“It’s a lie, you definitely know that,” Ning Ruan said confidently.
Xiao Hong chimed in with a serious expression, "He knows."
"..."
Chishong took a deep breath, and perhaps due to excessive emotion, he couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood.
“They left… You should ask them why they left, not… ask me, I don’t know.”
