In the secret room, the two talked quietly.
Ning Ping also told Ji Wanning some of his guesses.
After hearing this, Ji Wanning also fell into deep thought.
"You said that Immortal Lord Luo Kun, in addition to absorbing the power of faith, also absorbs some unknown aura from the cultivators? Could it be some kind of body-stealing technique, taking the cultivators' cultivation and making it his own?"
"The other party is a dignified Immortal Lord, I'm afraid he won't look down on me."
Ning Ping thought about it carefully and immediately felt that this possibility was unlikely.
Afterwards, both of them agreed that this holy land probably had great ambitions, perhaps even beyond their understanding.
"From now on, you must be more cautious. Now that the Holy Light has been controlled, your personal will has regained its dominance. Don't reveal any flaws!"
Ning Ping also gave careful instructions at the end.
"Yeah! I'd rather just stay the same as before and try to have as little interaction with others as possible. This will save me a lot of trouble!"
"That's good!" Ning Ping nodded gently. Ji Wanning had been rather cold towards people before, so this way, there were fewer chances for him to reveal his flaws.
Then the two of them briefly recounted what happened after they separated.
As Ning Ping expected, Ji Wanning had been under the care of the sect since they separated, and eventually came to the holy land under pressure.
Ning Ping also recounted some of the situations in the Qinglan Secret Realm, especially the appearance of the Immortal Lord Luo Kun and the great battle between the immortals.
Ji Wanning exclaimed repeatedly after hearing this, and even said that it was a pity that he didn't go.
Two days passed before the two of them appeared in Ji Wanning's cave again.
"Is this your clone?" Ji Wanning looked at Ning Ping, who was wearing a white robe, with shining eyes, and could not see any flaws at all.
"Yes, that's right, it will take some time to merge!"
Ning Ping thought about his clone's somewhat unreliable personality and couldn't help but smile helplessly.
"Okay, I'll talk to Yu Tianxiao later, and then we'll go out together." Ning Ping suddenly sent a voice message and then walked out.
"Well, go wherever you go!"
"However, before I leave, I still need to make some preparations!"
That’s right, the two of them had already discussed it. In order to avoid any accidents, Ji Wanning should leave here first.
After several days of passionate love, Ning Ping returned to his cave.
A fragment of the soul also came out and disappeared into the cave in a flash.
After making some preparations and taking a deep breath, he sent a message to Yu Tianxiao.
After a while, Yu Tianxiao came over after hearing the news.
"Elder Shi! You've been gone for several days. I almost went straight to look for you."
As soon as Yu Tianxiao met him, he started teasing him with a smile on his face. Of course, he also knew that Ning Ping had run to Ji Wanning's side.
Not only Yu Tianxiao knew about this, but the other Purple Sword Elders were also aware of it. However, since the two did not fight, they ignored it.
"Haha, I invite Elder Ji to complete that mission with me!"
"What? She, she agreed?" Yu Tianxiao didn't expect to get such an answer.
"I agree! Where there is sincerity, there is success..." Ning Ping suddenly looked at the other party with a mysterious look on his face.
"What? She agreed?" He looked at Ning Ping in disbelief. Seeing the other party's determined eyes, he knew that he was not joking.
"That mission isn't that difficult, actually. Besides, they'll even assign a bunch of people to you! I can't believe you actually managed to get her to do it!"
At this moment, Yu Tianxiao really admired Ning Ping. He also knew that Elder Ji basically did not communicate with anyone.
He actually asked her to take action, but she didn't care about Ning Ping making a fuss about it.
At this time, Ning Ping looked at the other person with a smile, and leaned forward slightly.
"It's okay. More people is always a good thing. This is my first mission, and I don't want to mess it up!" There was obviously something behind his words.
"You mean..." Yu Tianxiao looked suspicious at this time.
Ning Ping explained with a serious face.
"Brother Yu, think about it. On the day of the meeting, Hua Heyu targeted you and Elder Bai at every turn. I've only just become Elder Zijian, yet he forced this task upon me. Do you think he has good intentions?"
Seeing Yu Tianxiao's surprise and his eyes rolling around, he must have been thinking in a race as well, so he continued.
"What if destroying that Qiu family is just a cover? Maybe they've set a trap for me to fall into, so it's always a good idea to be careful!"
"Brother Shi, what you said does make sense! Maybe we are overthinking it! I have never heard of people from our holy land fighting each other."
After thinking about it for a while, Yu Tianxiao said cautiously.
Ning Ping felt happy after hearing this. It seemed that the other party also thought in this direction.
However, two important messages were revealed from the other party's words.
First, it is true that the people in the Holy Land will not betray the Holy Lord, nor will they fight openly, but the struggle for power in secret is still inevitable.
The second is that Yu Tianxiao is probably just like himself and is not controlled by the holy light.
This speculation was exactly the attitude that Yu Tianxiao had unintentionally revealed in his words just now.
If he was truly completely controlled by the Holy Light, his tone should have been firm, instead of expressing doubt.
Of course, this was also the conclusion he came to after several interactions with him, when he inadvertently revealed his attitude towards the Holy Land.
Of course, this is also a guess. Whether it is true or not requires further observation.
"What Brother Yu said makes sense, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to make more preparations. By the way, is it true that Elder Ji can't go out?"
At this moment, Ning Ping suddenly had an idea. This would prevent the other party from thinking of other aspects.
"Haha, I understand... Of course, there's no problem for Elder Ji to go out. Unless the Great Elder personally gives the order, Elder Ji, as the Purple Sword Elder, can go anywhere he wants. As long as you can persuade her and she's willing to interrupt her cultivation here."
Sure enough, Yu Tianxiao showed an expression that said, "I understand." However, he also secretly remembered what Ning Ping said, that is, whether Hua Heyu had set a trap.
"That's good!" Ning Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
"So when do we leave?"
Yu Tianxiao shook his head and said, "Any time is fine. Just ask Elder Ji to go with you!"
"By the way, before setting off for Tianshu Star, I have to go back to Xuanyue Sword Sect!" Ning Ping suddenly thought of something and immediately added.
"As it should be. I noticed that Senior Su seemed a little wary of our Holy Land before, so this is a good opportunity to reassure him!"
"Brother Yu has really thought of everything. It's so easy to get along with Brother Yu!" Ning Ping suddenly felt emotional.
"Haha! I feel the same way!" Yu Tianxiao laughed, and suddenly thought of something, and reached out to take out a storage bag.
"This is your offering as the Purple Sword Elder. Keep it! It's for a full ten years."
