The Unbeatable Uncle-Grandmaster
Chapter 142: The Lonely City
At this moment, it was as if the sky had brightened after the rain in the Outer Realm Desert, and everything looked very good.
The sandstorm that wreaked havoc here now instantly disappeared without a trace. A large number of plants and corpses of ferocious beasts fell from the sky, emitting muffled bangs.
The sunlight shone again, causing the surrounding temperature to rise.
Everyone was dumbfounded on the spot, dumbfounded.
"What's going on?"
“Did I see wrong? Did the black vortex storm really disappear? ”
“What's with the spirit energy earlier? Could there be an expert nearby? ”
“…”
Everyone fell silent for a moment before an intense discussion erupted. Shock was written all over their faces, and they could hardly believe their eyes.
It was a storm of black vortexes from crying out loud!
Even a Supreme Stage expert would probably die if they were swept in. Was it actually being forcefully dissipated by spirit energy just like that?
Even a Legendary Stage expert could not do such a thing, right?
Could it be that .. a Saint Stage expert was passing by here right now?
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
Ning Kun was even more stunned, shocked, and speechless.
As a guard captain tasked with escorting items in the Outer Natural Desert every year, none of them all knew better than him how terrifying the black vortex storm was.
Because this was not the first time he had experienced something like this!
However, the last time Ning Kun found him, he was still a Heaven Stage cultivator. If not for the guard captain who had decisively buried the air transportation spirit artifact in the sand, he would have been dead a long time ago.
Even so, they still suffered heavy losses back then. Among the dozens of people on the team, only five or six survived. The captain even lost an arm to protect them.
As for the black vortex storm just now, it was clearly several times scarier than Ning Kun had encountered before. Otherwise, Ning Kun would not have planned to directly give up on the lives of the other cultivators and decided just to ensure Ning Jie's safety.
"Uncle Kun, could it be that the expert who sealed the Sand Race has returned?"
Ning Jie whispered.
After a long while, Ning Kun finally reacted and smiled bitterly. "This .. I'm not sure, but what I can be sure of is .. there was indeed a Saint Stage expert who helped us secretly just now."
In fact, other than a Saint Stage expert, Ning Kun could not think of a second possibility.
After all, only a Saint Stage expert could casually disperse the storm of the black vortex with spirit energy.
"No matter what, we managed to survive."
Relieved, Ning Kun continued, “We are not far from Desolate City. We have to transport the goods first. ”
Fortunately, only the barrier was broken and the aerial transport spirit artifact itself was unaffected. Otherwise, they would have to fly back to Desolate City by themselves.
After giving the instructions, Ning Kun's expression turned serious. He walked to the front of the aerial transport spirit artifact and bowed with a fist. “Thank you for saving us, Senior. We always thank.”
Ning Kun said this with his spirit energy, and it spread out in a powerful and deafening manner.
“Thank you, Senior.”
Seeing this, the other cultivators also shouted in a very respectful manner.
"Together."
Qin Jue replied silently in his heart.
How could a Saint Stage expert coincidentally pass by this time? Of course, it was Qin Jue who had taken action to resolve this crisis. However, since he did all of that while standing still, no one knew that he was the one responsible.
Perhaps due to the black vortex storm, everyone was now speechless, including the most enthusiastic Ning Jie.
Qin Jue was naturally happy to see this happen, as it saved him from some trouble.
Not long after that the figure of the city appeared at the end of everyone's gaze. Although it could not compare to a colossal city like Heaven Ascension City, it was already an absolute "giant" in the Outer Realm Desert.
At least compared to the small town and village that Qin Jue encountered a few days ago, it was still much more prosperous.
“Finally, a city with humans.”
Su Yan could not help but sigh.
“Mm? Don't you know?”
Ning Jie revealed a puzzled expression.
"What's that?"
“Desolate City is the largest city in the Outer Natural Desert. There were many experts in the city, and the City Lord was also a Legendary Stage expert. No matter how powerful the Sand Race was, it was impossible for them to devour the desert city in such a short amount of time. ”
Ning Jie frowned.
Logically speaking, if Qin Jue and Su Yan were to head towards Desolate City as they said, it would be impossible for them not to know of this.
Su Yan was somewhat stunned upon hearing this.
He had not expected that a mere desert city would actually possess a Legendary Stage expert. Is this the difference between the Sacred Land of the Middle Continent and the Southern Land?
Before coming to the Sacred Land of the Middle Continent, Su Yan's lifelong pursuit was to reach the Legendary Stage. Now, he understood that in such a place, the Legendary Stage was not worth mentioning.
“Hehe, it's just that we haven't seen anyone in the cities and villages we visited in the last few days. She just feels emotional.”
Qin Jue said indifferently, easily dispelling Ning Jie's doubts.
“Eh.. okay.”
Ning Jie thought for a moment and did not continue asking.
Qin Jue and Su Yan had just experienced life and death with them. Although they were not good friends, they still had trust in each other.
At the same time, two cultivators in battle armor flew out of Desolate City and greeted them.
"Are you from the Ning Clan?"
"It's so thick."
Ning Kun replied.
"Please enter. The City Lord has been waiting for a long time."
A moment later, the aerial transport spirit artifact landed in the city, and the cultivators on the ship immediately began to move its items.
"Hahaha, Little Qing, long time no see."
Accompanied by a warm laugh, everyone saw a tall man walking over. He was filled with dignity and had an extraordinary attitude. Obviously, he's not an ordinary person.
"Master City!"
The surrounding Desolate City cultivators hurriedly bowed.
"Yes." Yeah."
The tall man waved his hand casually.
"Uncle Liu!"
Looking at the tall man, Ning Jie also revealed an expression of excitement.
“Eh, where's Little Xin? Didn't he follow you?”
“Hahahaha, you bad boy. Is your mind just filled with thoughts about Little Xin? Me, an old man, came to pick you up personally. Is that not good enough for you?”
The tall man smiled.
Ning Jie blushed and rubbed her hands awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.
“Don't worry, Little Xin just went hunting wild animals. He will be back soon.”
How could Liu Qingbai not know about what happened between Ning Jie and her daughter? However, other than Ning Jie's poor cultivation talent, she was pretty good in all aspects, so Liu Qingbai did not stop them from meeting each other.
Moreover, Ning Jie was a direct descendant of the Ning Clan.
"Master Liu City."
At this moment, Ning Kun stepped forward and bowed.
“Tsk, Captain Ning, your strength is increasing a lot more. It doesn't seem like it will be long before you break through to the Highest Stage and step into the Legendary Stage. ”
Liu Qingbai judged Ning Kun and said meaningfully.
“City Lord Liu, you must be kidding. My journey is still long.”
Ning Kun was stunned. He had not expected Liu Qingbai to suddenly say this.
Although there was only a difference of one realm between a Supreme Stage and a Legendary Stage, it was still like the difference between heaven and earth. Many High Stage cultivators would not be able to pass through this barrier even after trying their whole life.
If Ning Kun could easily advance to the Legendary Stage, he would not be stuck in the middle phase of the Supreme Stage for more than twenty years.
"By the way, Uncle Liu, there's something we want to tell you."
"What's that?"
