Full level of enlightenment: I achieved Daozu by ascending to the lower realm

Chapter 689 Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road

After they left, Ning Qi continued to lead the way.

Soon they came to a relatively open area.

Here, they finally encountered another group of people besides themselves.

"This is Xiao Haotian."

Ji Wanru glanced at it and then spoke to Ning Qi.

"Is he Xiao Haotian?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi turned his gaze to the group of people in front of him.

At this moment, they also turned their attention to Ning Qi.

"Isn't this Miss Ji? What a coincidence!"

Xiao Haotian looked at her and said with a smile.

Ning Qi then realized which of them was the real one.

This person looks burly and imposing.

He's obviously not a good person.

"Humph."

Ji Wanru just snorted coldly and ignored him.

"Were they the ones who attacked you before?"

Ning Qi confirmed this again.

"Yes!"

One of the guards gritted his teeth and said, "It's them!"

"Be careful, there are some experts among them."

Ji Wanru's expression was solemn as she whispered a reminder.

"Miss Ji, it's been a long time."

As they reminded each other, Xiao Haotian walked over with a smile.

Ji Wanru's guards all looked on alert as they watched the person approaching.

"Master, this bastard is quite strong, we need to be careful."

The spirit medicine, residing in his dantian, couldn't help but offer a reminder.

"Hmm, their strength should be about the same as mine."

Ning Qi nodded, then turned his attention to what was ahead.

At this moment, Xiao Haotian had already walked over.

"We'll leave each other alone, and you'd better not mess with me!"

Ji Wanru said this with a sullen face after he arrived.

If it were before, our people would still have been able to put up a fight against him.

However, after traveling this distance, half of his guards had already died.

It's impossible to deal with him now.

Even if only Young Master Ding is strong, he is no match for so many of them.

As she pondered this in her mind, she had already clearly seen how many men the person in front of her had.

The number of men under his command did not decrease.

On the contrary, they encountered it more often than before.

Clearly, he had gathered all his subordinates who had been sent out to work.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people.

"Oh, am I that annoying?"

Upon hearing his words, Xiao Haotian couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment: "I really want to help you, but you always keep me at arm's length."

"Xiao Haotian, this is just your wishful thinking. I didn't force you to come!"

Ji Wanru said in a deep voice, "Besides, we are both from the Immortal Clan, so don't cause trouble at this time."

"I think we have the same goal."

"So what if it is? Who said we can't kill each other?"

Upon hearing her words, Xiao Haotian immediately revealed a disdainful expression: "Besides, I didn't make things difficult for you, did I?"

"Right, brothers?"

After he finished speaking, he even turned around and smiled at the people behind him.

"Correct!"

"Exactly, what's wrong with us adults!"

"They're still better than the demons, aren't they?"

"..."

These people started shouting and clamoring.

Some people have even started making lewd jokes.

"you!"

Ji Wanru felt both ashamed and angry after hearing their words.

However, she had no choice.

Because they are stronger than her.

Last time, their people didn't manage to gather, giving her room to unleash her power.

But now that they're all together, she doesn't want her people to be threatened along with her.

Let alone taking action.

They would probably be subdued by their own people as soon as they made a move.

"What happened to us?"

Xiao Haotian shrugged, revealing an innocent look: "We haven't broken any taboos, so what can't we say?"

"Exactly, stop pretending to be high and mighty!"

"Just stay with our master, he won't mistreat you!"

"Yes, we adults are the most caring."

"..."

Xiao Haotian's subordinates were going too far with their words.

And they didn't take anyone around Ji Wanru seriously at all.

Even Ning Qi, they didn't take him seriously.

"Master, do you need help?"

The spirit medicine, located in his dantian, continued, "These people are going too far. If we don't teach them a lesson, they won't know their place."

"Excellent, it's time to make a move!"

Ning Qi finally came to his senses after hearing Yao Ling's words.

"Let's go."

"Take another route!"

Ji Wanru also realized what was happening at this moment.

If you can't afford to offend them, you can always avoid them.

Since we can't go any further from here, let's go somewhere else.

It's much better than facing these shameless bastards here.

"Walk."

"..."

After she spoke, several guards responded in unison.

I was about to leave with her.

Ning Qi was also pretending, so he followed along.

It's better to avoid trouble. Since they're willing to let us pass, there's no need to insist any further.

As he thought about it, he prepared to leave together.

To avoid any further trouble.

"Stop! Did I say you could leave?"

At this moment, Xiao Haotian spoke again.

After he said that, his men immediately dispersed.

They blocked their escape route.

They all gave arrogant explanations, completely disregarding the group of people they were dealing with.

"You've gone too far!"

“We are all of the same kind. Instead of searching for sword energy, you are fighting amongst yourselves here.”

"Exactly, do you really think we're afraid of you?"

"..."

Ji Wanru's guards couldn't hold back any longer and immediately began to refute her.

Their eyes were filled with rage.

Looking at the people in front of him, he wished he could tear them apart alive.

"Since you're not satisfied, then I have nothing to feel guilty about!"

Xiao Haotian shook his head, a look of disappointment on his face: "Let's get started. Take care of all of these people."

"Protect Miss Ba Ji well. If she loses even a single hair, I'll hold you all accountable!"

"You dare!"

Upon hearing his words, Ji Wanru's eyes widened in surprise.

I never expected that they would dare to act so blatantly in front of everyone.

"Master, they're planning to silence us!"

Looking at the people around him, Yao Ling couldn't help but say, "This is troublesome."

"What's the panic? I can get away with them!"

Ning Qi said nonchalantly.

"But these people are probably in trouble!"

Yao Ling pointed to the people around him; their strength was far inferior to that of these people.

It was only a matter of time before they were killed.

"Don't worry, I won't abandon these people."

After hearing what he said, Ning Qi smiled and said.

"It's not too late for you to regret it now."

"If you agree to come with me, I can get them out of here alive!"

Seeing that Ji Wanru remained silent, Xiao Haotian then spoke up, his eyes filled with a mocking glint.

Looking at her was like looking at one's prey.

"Don't even think about it!"

Ji Wanru said angrily.

Those eyes were practically spitting fire.

However, she still dared not lash out.

She knew very well that these people were not to be trifled with.

However, he also had his own brothers.

If the consequences are disregarded, they will all be killed.

At this moment, she looked troubled and had lost her earlier imposing manner.

"Young Master Ding, I'll stay here for now. You can take them and leave!"

"If you run into my senior brother, explain the situation here to him."

"He'll avenge me someday if he gets the chance!"

Ji Wanru communicated with Ning Qi through her thoughts.

A resolute look had already appeared in those eyes.

"You should save those words for him to say to himself."

Ning Qi shook his head and then turned his gaze to Xiao Haotian.

"What are you looking at? You're asking for it!"

Xiao Haotian felt like he was being stared at by a ferocious beast when he was being looked at like that.

That's when he suddenly blurted out something.

However, his back was already soaked with sweat.

"I'm not the one who's looking for death!"

Ning Qi shook his head again, a mocking look on his face: "So many of you, bullying a weak woman, aren't you afraid of becoming a laughing stock?"

"Damn it, mind your own business!"

Before Xiao Haotian could speak, one of his men immediately threatened him.

After he said that, several more people came over.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

People gradually arrived and surrounded them.

Their eyes were full of mockery.

Looking at those few people was like looking at one's prey.

Xiao Haotian, in particular, looked at them as if they were dead.

They don't take them seriously at all.

“She’s my friend, so I should help her when she’s in trouble.”

"As for you, who gave you the confidence to force a beautiful woman to be with you when you're so ugly?"

Ning Qi didn't care about his words at all, and instead started to mock him.

"puff."

"..."

After he finished speaking, Ji Wanru's guards couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Yes, Xiao Haotian is indeed very ugly.

People's appearances reflect their inner thoughts; I can tell from his appearance that he's not a kind person.

"If anyone laughs again, I'll twist their head off and use it as a chamber pot!"

Xiao Haotian was so angry that he was trembling all over, and he said through gritted teeth.

After he said that, everyone present fell silent.

However, even so, some people still couldn't resist.

The threat to their lives made them much more restrained.

Several of them had already been embarrassed by the others.

It wasn't just Ji Wanru's people; even Xiao Haotian's own people were starting to suppress their laughter.

Everyone was amazed, and Ning Qi actually said he was ugly without any fear.

This was a painful memory for Xiao Haotian.

People have said he's ugly since he was little, but they always say it behind his back.

To date, no one has said it to his face.

"Tell your men to get out of my way."

Before he could even react to what he had just said, he had already finished speaking.

Ning Qi then came over and said.

"Oh, are you ordering me around, or are you begging me?"

Xiao Haotian waited until Ning Qi finished speaking before turning his attention to him.

At this moment, his fists were clenched, ready to strike at any moment.

Underneath the loose clothing, it's impossible to tell.

"Stop talking nonsense, if you want to fight, then do it."

"However, there are sword spirits here. If the fighting gets too intense, it will attract them!"

"In my opinion, let's have a battle of wits."

Ning Qi didn't want to argue with him anymore, so he stopped and said.

"A battle of wits, how do you intend to do that?"

Xiao Haotian's eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested.

This was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing as a literary contest.

"It's basically one person making a move, and the other responding."

"Whoever lasts the longest wins."

"This way, we can vent our anger without being discovered by the sword spirits here."

"Compared to attracting them, our verbal battle is the safest option!"

Ning Qi pointed to one side and said to the group, "There are also sword spirits in this direction."

"I think they will definitely come."

"He's right."

"My lord, I think a debate based on reason is also a viable option!"

"..."

After Ning Qi finished speaking, the people here began to offer their advice.

If they were to take action, the commotion would be enormous.

Casualties will also rise accordingly.

Rather than this, we should move away from here.

"Okay, but we should have some kind of prize, right?"

"Wouldn't it be boring to just keep fighting like this?"

Xiao Haotian nodded and looked at Song Yue with a smile: "So, are you willing to bet?"

He looked at Ning Qi with a playful expression.

In his eyes, Ning Qi was just a poor, penniless boy; what treasures could he possibly have to play with?

"Tell me how you want to bet!"

Ning Qi snapped out of his daze and asked seriously.

"It's very simple, each person contributes one supreme treasure."

"If I lose, it's mine; if I win, it's yours."

Xiao Haotian looked at Ning Qi and continued, "Now, whoever wins, if you encounter the other person here again, you must leave immediately!"

"That sounds good, let's do it then."

Ning Qi nodded in agreement, then said, "I also have a condition."

"If you agree, we can begin."

"Oh, what's the problem?"

Upon hearing his words, Xiao Haotian immediately showed a look of great interest.

"If you lose, you'll have to apologize to her and all of us."

"Also, you're not allowed to bother her anymore."

Ning Qi didn't even think about it before speaking.

"I thought it was something serious, this is too simple."

"I've agreed to everything you asked for. Is there anything else you want?"

Xiao Haotian waited for him to finish speaking before saying seriously, "Then, let's begin."

"it is good!"

Ning Qi didn't hesitate. After agreeing, he pointed forward and said, "Have your men disperse to avoid harming innocent people!"

"Don't just stand there, get out of the way!"

Xiao Haotian said, rubbing his hands together eagerly.

"Yes!"

"..."

After he finished speaking, the disciples behind him all made way.

"You all get out of the way!"

Ji Wanru and her people made the arrangements.

"it is good!"

The next moment, her people all retreated to the entrance where they had come in at the beginning.

In the center, only Ning Qi and Xiao Haotian remained for a moment.

The two looked at each other, and in each other's eyes they saw a look of determination.

"call!"

Ning Qi took a deep breath before calmly saying, "Now that things have come to this, who will go first?"

He had just thought of this problem himself.

"Hmph, you go first!"

"So that if you lose, you won't say I bullied you."

Xiao Haotian said nonchalantly. (End of Chapter)
