Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 261: No way? I’ll create one!

"Senior Sister, the moving villa can't be used recklessly. It requires..." Ning Xuan couldn't help but remind her when he saw her expression.

"I know, I know! Are you even a man? Why are you such a nag!" Wu Pianpian interrupted impatiently.

Ning Xuan looked utterly helpless. He could only pull Qian Yourong aside to give her some instructions, leaving a considerable amount of Heavenly Crystals with her as well. With Senior Sister's impulsive personality, she would be like an unbridled wild horse the moment he left, running amok everywhere. It would be incredibly awkward if she ran out of Heavenly Crystals to power the moving villa for an escape at a critical moment.

"Why don't you just take the moving villa with you?" Qian Yourong transmitted to Ning Xuan.

Ning Xuan refused. "Forget it. I've already started to grow dependent on it, and that won't do. If I actually took the moving villa back to the Yuan Ling Continent, I could steamroll the entire place. What would be the fun in that? I could forget about ever improving my martial arts strength."

"Aren't you afraid that…"

"That's why you are not to give her the Heavenly Crystals I gave you unless it's an absolute crisis."

Qian Yourong nodded. She was a smart woman and understood immediately. Even with a moving villa, its effectiveness depended on whose hands it was in. With Wu Pianpian's strength, she could go anywhere she pleased on her own. Now, with the moving villa, she would certainly bring San Wu and Xiaobai along. With them in tow, she would have a responsibility and wouldn't be able to just up and leave as she pleased. There would surely come a time when she'd regret it.

"What are you two whispering about? Junior Brother, hurry up and go! Look, Sister Wangshu and Wawa have been waiting for ages." Wu Pianpian knew Ning Xuan would never harm her, so she didn't think much of it and instead found ways to rush him along.

"I'm so grateful," Yun Wangshu said drily.

Wawa, on the other hand, was quite innocent and also urged him, "Let's go, or they'll be in danger!" She knew that the martial artists here were much stronger than those on the Yuan Ling Continent. Now that the grand competition was over, if they didn't leave soon, they would surely bring trouble upon the others. She didn't want a repeat of the Liangren Alley incident.

"Alright!" Ning Xuan agreed, leading Yun Wangshu and Wawa away.

Qian Yourong, San Wu, and Xiaobai wanted to see them off.

Wu Pianpian stopped them immediately. "Why see them off? It's not like they're never coming back!" If they went, the round trip would waste a lot of time! And right now, time was Heavenly Crystals.

"Senior Sister is right. No need to see us off!" Ning Xuan waved, leading the two women deeper into the Heavenly Palace.

"Young Master Ning, where are the others?" someone from the four great families asked as they passed through the square.

Ning Xuan didn't answer. Many gazes fell upon Wawa. The Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart! If they weren't wary of the Nanling Bully, countless experts would have made their move that very instant. However, being unaware of what was happening inside, they could only watch helplessly as Ning Xuan's trio disappeared from sight.

"Why are you back again?!" You Ruo, having received the news, appeared before Ning Xuan. Her head throbbed whenever she saw him now.

"Relax, I'm not here for your Heavenly Crystals. We're returning to the Yuan Ling Continent."

"You've come to the wrong place. There's no passage to the Lower Realm from here."

Ning Xuan smiled. "It doesn't matter if there's no passage. I'll just open one myself."

You Ruo's beautiful eyes narrowed as she instantly understood his meaning. She immediately stepped aside to let them pass, then followed behind them. She had missed him constructing the Stairway to Heaven last time; she would not miss this!

Ordinarily, Ning Xuan would have definitely demanded Heavenly Crystals from her for the spectacle. But time was of the essence. The glares from the crowd outside were still fresh in his mind. If they learned that the Heavenly Gate had opened and closed, and that the Honored One had already left, they would likely ignore the Heavenly Palace's authority and charge right in.

A quarter of an hour later, at the edge of a cliff, You Ruo blinked her beautiful eyes. "Can you do that again?" While Ning Xuan had been creating the passage, she had paid rapt attention, not blinking for a second, but she was still completely baffled. She had no idea how he had accomplished it.

"Sure," Ning Xuan said casually. "If you pay with Heavenly Crystals."

"Deal! You just wait!" You Ruo's figure vanished in an instant, her voice the only thing left echoing in the air.

Ning Xuan shook his head helplessly, having no intention of waiting for her. "Let's go…" He had just started to speak when his brow furrowed. Someone was coming.

"Go? I'm afraid you won't be going any…" a voice rang out.

SHLICK!

Before the man could finish his sentence, the King Realm expert's head hit the ground. Although he had been extremely vigilant, he had still underestimated Ning Xuan's speed.

"You two go first!" Ning Xuan's voice resounded in the women's ears.

"Go!" Yun Wangshu had planned to stay and help, but seeing Wawa's dazed expression, she immediately changed her mind. She pulled the girl along and began to descend the stairs.

SPLAT!

An expert appeared at their side, his hand reaching out to grab them. Blood arced through the air as Ning Xuan's speed reached its absolute limit. The experts who rushed in hadn't even seen his shadow before three of them fell dead. All of them were King Realm experts.

Suddenly, Ning Xuan's body froze. A terrifying aura enveloped him, and an even more dreadful killing intent locked onto him.

"Stop running! None of you will escape today!" someone jeered as another hand reached for the staircase.

Ning Xuan was immobilized in the void by an inexplicable force, able only to watch. However, there was not the slightest hint of panic on his face.

Then, a scream echoed out. The large hand that had just reached the space above the stairs was devoured by a swirling mist. When it was pulled back, only a bare skeleton remained.

The eyes of the other experts contracted in shock. What kind of technique was this?!

"Quick, seize him!" the elder holding an alms bowl ordered in a deep voice. It was the strange bowl in his hands that had restrained Ning Xuan. The other experts snapped to their senses and attacked Ning Xuan in unison.

"Palace Master!" Ning Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up as he yelled toward the space behind the elder with the bowl.

The elder's heart skipped a beat. The next moment, he let out a furious roar and retreated explosively, but it was useless. A head soared into the sky as Ning Xuan snatched the alms bowl.

The experts who had just attacked Ning Xuan all froze, completely dumbfounded. Ning Xuan's speed and abilities were simply too terrifying. Their opponent had only revealed the slightest opening, and despite reacting almost instantly, he had still been killed.

Someone glanced at the alms bowl in Ning Xuan's hand, a flicker of fear in their eyes. "He can't possibly know how to use it! If we all work together…"

BANG!

Before the man could finish speaking, his body exploded, his form and spirit utterly obliterated.

THUD!

Someone dropped to their knees. The others reacted just as quickly. In an instant, all the remaining experts were kneeling on the ground. They didn't want to, but the alternative was death.

"You people are too reckless...!" You Ruo's anxious voice cut through the air. She appeared so abruptly that she couldn't stop in time and nearly shot off the cliff. On her way over, she had heard that a number of audacious experts had stormed the Heavenly Palace to abduct someone. Her hair stood on end when she heard that the elder with the alms bowl was among them. She had expected to find Ning Xuan suppressed, forced to watch helplessly as they took the Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart. But instead…

You Ruo, having skidded to a halt, turned around stiffly. When she saw the scene before her, she was completely and utterly dumbfounded.
