Chapter 360: Chapter 193: Ancient Saint Tianjian

The Profound Turtle carried the True Martial Hall on its back.

Its entire body was shrouded in White Mist, mysterious and unfathomable, as if it were a mythical beast from ancient history. Everyone held their breath, the invisible pressure preventing them from acting presumptuously, especially since some had previously suggested blowing up White Mist Island; now they trembled even more.

Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint’s gaze fell on the giant turtle, seemingly displeased. Had the turtle not suddenly pulled him into the White Mist, the dispute would have already ended.

However.

He glimpsed the giant turtle’s protective intent towards Ning Qi, and a realization dawned on him. ”Long time no see,” a weathered voice spoke. ”You do not seem to be in a good state.”

The blind old man frowned, sensing that the life force of the giant turtle was not as strong and exuberant as before, which was unusual. He glanced thoughtfully at Ning Qi.

The giant turtle raised its head: ”I’m fine, just not dead yet.”

Ning Qi remained silent.

With the two great figures speaking, no one else dared interrupt. The Red Sun Martial Saint wanted to speak several times but held back.

The giant turtle did not look at him.

Its appearance was solely to support Ning Qi, as long as Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint understood. The giant turtle spoke a few words, its enormous pupils gradually closing, as if to fall asleep, with a deep voice: ”I’ll sleep for some time, call me if there’s an emergency.”

The white mist covering its body began to glow, and the Immortal Palace Spirit Beast on its back became more blurred and aesthetic, invoking a sense of longing.

The massive body descended again, stirring up stormy waves.

In just a few breaths, the once enormous body completely vanished from the sea surface, and the Black Sand Sea, once a marvel of white mist, became extremely ordinary again. People looked on in confusion and finally confirmed that the True Martial Hall was indeed carried by a gigantic turtle.

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they never would have believed it.

Gratitude welled up in Ning Qi’s heart, but his expression remained unchanged as the turtle left, its departing gaze holding a hint of a mischievous smile.

The Red Sun Martial Saint was about to speak.

But the Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint spoke first: ”Enough, let’s end this matter here.”

The words were calm and powerful, leaving no room for argument.

Ning Qi slightly bowed, a gesture of respect for an unparalleled powerhouse.

The Red Sun Martial Saint’s pupils contracted repeatedly, his face alternating between green and white, and finally, he snorted coldly. He looked at Ning Qi with a venomous gaze: ”Some things, if taken by force, beware of breaking your hand!”

This was the Lifebound Secret Treasure of the Ancient Saint, embedded with numerous imprints, and forcibly using it could result in backlash.

Ning Qi was indifferent, not bothering to respond.

Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint shook his head slightly and stepped away.

The Red Sun Martial Saint snorted coldly and also vanished into the sky, with several Celestial Human Realm martial artists carrying a golden chariot hurriedly following, fearing that if they delayed, they would be killed by this young Taoist with a single sword stroke; even the Ancient Saint had suffered a setback, so they dared not be presumptuous.

One after another, eyes filled with awe turned to Ning Qi.

Today’s battle was unparalleled.

Two Ancient Saints fought fiercely, boiling the seas with their might, terrifying and beyond imagination.

Especially Ning Qi’s identity astonished them; the reputedly world-renowned True Man Tianjian was actually an Ancient Saint, and a youthful one at that, completely upending everyone’s understanding.

Furthermore, the revelation of the True Martial Hall’s Inheritance Island amazed them.

Every incident made everyone feel exhilarated.

Ning Qi ignored those gazes.

He landed beside Taoist Longshan and said in a low voice: ”Master, this disciple is incompetent and failed to slay that Red Sun; when I find the opportunity in the future, I will undoubtedly avenge today’s disgrace for you.”

Taoist Longshan merely smiled and waved his hand.

If pursued further, the Red Sun Martial Saint was far more miserable; exchanging with an Ancient Saint one-for-one was not a loss! ”Do not act impulsively; your future is boundless. If you lack patience, you may ruin grand plans. You have already done well, and I am most gratified.”

Ning Qi remained silent.

He had already sentenced the Red Sun Martial Saint to death in his heart.

Taoist Longshan saw Ning Qi’s silence and knew what he was thinking, shook his head helplessly, and said no more. Seeing the awe-filled gazes around, he knew this was not a place to stay for long. ”Let’s go back.”

Ning Qi nodded, waving his hand, the vast Power of Heaven and Earth enveloped everyone, flying rapidly, and they disappeared over the Black Sand Sea.

The previously quiet atmosphere gradually became lively.

Excited discussions resounded across the sea, with people commenting on the recent events and sharing their insights. Some even sneaked into the sea to search, hoping to find any remnants of useful items left by the Inheritance Island.

As the events here spread.

The entire world was shaken once more.

This time.

The battle between the two Ancient Saints became the focal point, although it was essentially a one-sided bout, with the Red Sun Martial Saint becoming a backdrop while Ning Qi’s fame soared.

Some called him the Ancient Saint Tianjian, while others referred to him as the White Dragon Ancient Saint.

In any case.

The reputation of the True Martial Sect rose once more, having been significantly diminished during the era of the Ancient Saints’ return. But now, the True Martial Sect had produced another Ancient Saint, astonishing everyone.

There was also talk of the True Martial Hall’s inheritance.

Some believed it was merely an arbitrary act by the ancient gigantic turtle, feeling disturbed and leaving; others thought otherwise, certain that the inheritance had already been taken.

Some observant individuals, noting the giant turtle’s vague support for Ning Qi’s actions, concluded that the True Martial Sect had indeed obtained the True Martial Hall’s inheritance.

But no evidence was available.

Numerous theories circulated vociferously, but no one dared to verify them. ...

At the Bright Martial Pavilion.

The numerous core members of the True Martial Sect gathered eagerly, their expressions excited. They had heard of Ning Qi’s formidable feat of violently beating the Ancient Saint Red Sun, which filled them with fervor.
