Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 267 Hey, It Seems I Really Entered King Realm!

"Are you sure that was Ning Xuan?"

After a long moment, someone asked irritably. They hadn't chased because it never occurred to them that he would run. After all, they'd heard tales of Ning Xuan's past exploits. Fleeing had never been his style.

"Uh… I think so!" The man who'd gone to report the sighting and call for reinforcements was also stunned, but at this point, he could only double down.

"Then what are you standing around for? After him!" their leader shouted. With a wave of his hand, a Flying Boat appeared in the air.

But the next moment—

BOOM!

The Flying Boat suddenly plummeted to the ground, leaving everyone covered in dust.

"Dammit! What the hell is the Bi Luo Palace doing?!"

"How could the Flying Boat just fall out of the sky…?"

"Cough, cough. Now is not the time to discuss this! Chase!"

The man who had summoned the Flying Boat was the first to charge forward on foot. His vessel had been bought secondhand, passing through who knows how many owners, and was already on the verge of being scrapped. With more than ten people piling onto it at once, its collapse was inevitable. The others didn't have time to think about it. Swept up in the herd mentality, they all scrambled to give chase.

Aboard the Flying Boat, Doll couldn't help but ask, seeing Ning Xuan frequently turning his head, "Junior Brother, what are you looking at?" As she spoke, she also craned her neck to look down.

"Huh? What are they doing? Are they chasing us?" Doll asked, confused by the ant-like specks on the ground below.

"No, they're probably just working out," Ning Xuan replied, shaking his head.

Beside them, Yun Wangshu, who had also looked away, let out a small laugh. She hadn't wanted to, but she couldn't help it. "Ants working out…" she giggled.

Seeing Yun Wangshu laugh, Doll laughed along with her, even though she had no idea what was so funny.

A thought struck Ning Xuan, and he slowed the Flying Boat's speed slightly. After all, the people below were making Sister Wangshu happy.

"Wait, where are we headed?" Yun Wangshu asked suddenly.

"This direction should be taking us to the capital of Dong Cang," Ning Xuan replied after checking again. In truth, he wasn't familiar with the Yuan Ling Continent either; after taking off, he had just subconsciously headed in a direction that felt familiar.

"Didn't you kill the princess of Dong Cang?" Yun Wangshu asked, surprised. Unaware of what Ning Xuan was thinking, she assumed he was heading there on purpose.

Ning Xuan thought for a moment. "I believe something like that did happen," he said. If he recalled correctly, he had even kicked the princess's head like a ball. "They still wanted your heart, Senior Sister. Perfect. This time, we'll settle all our scores."

Memories of the past surfaced, and a glint flashed in Ning Xuan's eyes.

"Alright!" Yun Wangshu said with a smile and a nod. For some reason, she no longer had any desire to return to the Dao Xuan Institute.

"With Sister Wangshu helping me this time, I can take down The Capital in one fell swoop!" Ning Xuan said excitedly.

Yun Wangshu couldn't help but smile, but then she immediately remembered something. "By the way, do you know why the King of Dong Cang calls that Ning Yang the Emperor of the Human Race?" she asked.

"Isn't it because he was the first person in Dong Cang to reach the Emperor Realm as a youth? Could there be more to it?" Ning Xuan asked, surprised.

"That's exactly right," Yun Wangshu affirmed. "Many people think the title 'Emperor of the Human Race' must be earned through great deeds, like making outstanding contributions to the Human Race. That's all nonsense, meant to shake your Dao Heart."

Yun Wangshu was trying to preemptively address this. A monarch had many methods at his disposal. If faced with defeat, he would surely try to use concepts like a righteous cause for the people to seize the moral high ground. In Ning Xuan's case, their most likely tactic would be to infinitely elevate Ning Yang's status. That was why she had spoken up.

"He is indeed very strong. A young Emperor of the Human Race… this time, I'm eager to see if he shows up!" Ning Xuan's eyes flashed as a fighting spirit surged within him.

Just then, Yun Wangshu noticed a change in Ning Xuan's aura. Her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief. "You… you broke through?"

"Huh? Oh, it seems I really have entered the King Realm," Ning Xuan said calmly, his initial shock giving way to mild confusion as he realized what had happened.

Yun Wangshu was rendered completely speechless. Others spent countless years trying to get from the Heavenly Realm to the King Realm. Some Martial Artists couldn't cross that barrier in their entire lifetime! Yet Ning Xuan did it so easily, achieving a Breakthrough just by talking about it. What was most stupefying was that he had already broken through and hadn't even realized it himself.

"Your talent is terrifying! And as for what you just said… it's a good thing we're the only ones here. Otherwise, a lot of people would hear that and be unable to resist the urge to beat you up." Having composed herself, Yun Wangshu couldn't help but roll her eyes at Ning Xuan for the very first time. His words were practically begging for a beating!

Of course, she was not one of those people. Nevertheless, an immense pressure was building inside her. She still remembered when she first met Ning Xuan. Back then, his Martial Arts Cultivation was so low she considered it beneath notice. How long had it been? Now, Ning Xuan had already become a powerful King Realm expert. She had never seen, or even dared to imagine, such a terrifying speed of progress.

At this rate, it won't be long before even I have to look up to him, will it?

This thought suddenly popped into her mind, and her lovely face turned crimson before she even knew why. Since there were no outsiders on the Flying Boat, Yun Wangshu naturally wasn't wearing her cloak. Therefore, both Ning Xuan and Doll noticed it at once. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Ning Xuan looked astonished. Doll was even more so, crying out, "Wow, Big Sister, your face turned red all of a sudden! How did you do that? Can you teach me?"

Doll's voice and expression were incredibly exaggerated, filled with surprise and curiosity… but not a hint of teasing. This left Yun Wangshu utterly mortified. She had no idea how to respond.

"Whoa, look at them go!" Ning Xuan's voice came to her rescue.

Doll's attention was immediately diverted. "Hey, how did so many people join the workout?" she asked, her eyes wide as she watched the dots of ants below transform into a long, snaking line.

Yun Wangshu instinctively glanced down and almost burst out laughing again.

"Wait here," Ning Xuan said with a glance at Yun Wangshu, then vanished from the deck of the Flying Boat.

The next moment, Doll saw the long line of ants below suddenly break apart! Then, a number of the "ants" were blasted into the air. From their vantage point, the scene was terrifying. It was as if the column of ants had run into a true dragon.

Below, a roaring whirlwind of sand swept over everything in its path. Forget ants; even a herd of elephants would have been sent flying!

"Junior Brother is bullying little kids!" Doll couldn't help but exclaim from the Flying Boat. "That's just plain bullying."

Yun Wangshu nodded in agreement, though she wasn't surprised in the slightest. Even back when he was in the Heavenly Realm, Ning Xuan had possessed the ability to kill a King Realm Martial Artist. Now that he had stepped into the King Realm, his strength had increased by an unimaginable degree. To the current Ning Xuan, the people below truly were nothing more than ants.
