Chapter 1076: Chapter 1076: Finding Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng

According to what he said, the white mist in the Posuo Forest would gradually enthrall cultivators, causing them to lose their way.

Even those who had reached the Late Foundation Establishment Stage couldn’t find the correct path through it.

However, the Sect Master of the Jinmu Sect had spent a long time exploring and had finally succeeded in researching a magic artifact that could locate directions in the Posuo Forest.

"Everyone must stick close to me. If you get lost in the Posuo Forest, you might never find a way out..."

As his words fell, Ning Fan suddenly narrowed his eyes and abruptly pulled Xiang Yun, who was walking at the front, back to his side.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, a fierce burst of sword light swept across horizontally and landed right in front of Xiang Yun.

A deep crack instantly appeared on the ground, and the surrounding trees were destroyed by the power contained in the sword light.

Xiang Yun was sweating profusely and his face was pale; had Ning Fan not pulled him away, he would have surely been cleaved by that sword light.

"Thank you, thank you, Brother Xu..."

After regaining his senses, Xiang Yun quickly got up to thank Ning Fan.

Ning Fan waved his hand and looked up into the sky, "It’s somewhat unkind of you to attack so suddenly."

Before them stood a large tree, around which three people could barely wrap their arms, and a young cultivator in white clothes and carrying a longsword stared down imperiously.

"You’re from the Jinmu Sect, right? Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng has been taken over by our Tieshi Sect, you can go back now."

Hearing this, Xiang Yun’s face changed slightly, "This is our Jinmu Sect’s territory, when did it become your turn to take over?"

"Not convinced?" The cultivator in white waved his hand dismissively and sneered, "Then come up here and try."

Ning Fan turned to Xiang Yun, "Who is this guy?"

Xiang Yun gritted his teeth and replied, "He’s from a nearby middle-ranked sect. Their strength is only slightly better than ours, but they have been stealing from us using their status."

"Heh, what about robbing you? Don’t you know that the weak are supposed to be hit?" The cultivator in white said disdainfully, "As a lower-ranked sect, the Jinmu Sect should obediently follow our arrangements."

As he spoke, his strong aura suddenly burst forth, showing he was a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm!

Feeling the aura emanating from the man, everyone’s face changed color.

Their strongest person present was Xiang Yun, at the peak of the Qi Refining Stage, and the others were even less capable than him.

"Just a bunch of ants. To think you dare compete with our Tieshi Sect for people is utterly ignorant..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Ning Fan suddenly leapt up, striking the cultivator in white’s face with a powerful burst of Spiritual Power.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, the cultivator in white plummeted from mid-air, crashing heavily to the ground, knocked unconscious by the punch.

"Let’s go."

Having dealt with the situation, Ning Fan proceeded as if nothing had happened, continuing deeper into the Posuo Forest.

The cultivators behind him exchanged glances, a hint of fear emerging in their eyes when they looked at Ning Fan.

How could this guy be so strong?

Yet Xiang Yun, with excitement on his face, stepped forward and grabbed Ning Fan’s shoulder, "Brother Xu, I had no idea your cultivation was so powerful!"

He felt even more excited thinking about having such a strong ally by his side.

With such a helper, capturing Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng would surely be a piece of cake.

Ning Fan nonchalantly hummed in response, not taking his words to heart.

After taking a few steps, he suddenly sensed something was amiss and abruptly turned around to go back to the white-clothed cultivator, crouching down and searching his body.

Seeing Ning Fan’s actions, the others didn’t immediately leave but stood waiting.

Before long, Ning Fan found an unusually shaped Jade Pendant in the white-clothed cultivator’s embrace.

This pendant resembled a key, but its lock head was extremely unique, making it hard to imagine what kind of lock it would fit.

Ning Fan furrowed his brows, "Brother Xiang, have you ever seen a lock that matches this design?"

Xiang Yun leaned over, examined the Jade Key, and shook his head after a long moment, "I’ve never seen anything like this; the design of this lock head is too peculiar."

After asking around the other cultivators without recognition from anyone.

Seeing no one knew the origin of the item, Ning Fan didn’t think much of it and stored the Jade Key in his Qiankun Ring.

He had discovered the Jade Key primarily because the white-clothed cultivator had emitted a power that was different.

Ning Fan felt a similarity between this power and that deep in the forest.

As the group moved deeper into the woods, they soon reached the depths.

"Brother Xu! Others have found traces of Zhuang Peng and his men!"

Suddenly, Xiang Yun tightened his grip on his Transmission Jade Token, looked up, and yelled excitedly.

"Let’s go!"

Without a second word, Ning Fan immediately led the group towards the destination directed by Xiang Yun.

Soon, a clamor was heard ahead.

"Zhuang Peng, surrender now!"

"Today, the whole Jinmu Sect is in action, do you still think you can escape?"

"If you don’t surrender now, today will be your date of death!"

In the middle were Zhuang Peng, Tan Xi, Qian Hong.

Surrounding them were disciples of the Jinmu Sect, capturing Sect Master, Deputy Sect Master, Elder, and others who were continuously attacking.

Logically, with their cultivation, they could have broken out.

But they had been severely injured by the Flying Immortal Sect earlier, had fled all the way here, and had no time to rest or even absorb Spiritual Energy to Cultivate.

Now they were besieged again, naturally lacking in strength and could only barely hold on.

Had it not been for Ning Fan’s previous assistance, which had improved their cultivation, they would have already been caught.
