"This place is too dangerous. Let me take you out of here."
"My name is Lei Jue, from the Lei family of Red Leaf City."
Lei Jue said with a smile.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Young Master Lei. My name is Wang Ning."
Jiang Ning didn't stand on ceremony.
He knew absolutely nothing about the Immortal Realm.
He would first go to Red Leaf City to investigate the news.
After that, he would begin his journey to immortality.
"Alas, the young master is still too naive and has no sense of caution."
"What if this person was sent by a hostile force?"
Uncle Wu shook his head helplessly.
The young master was good in every way.
Except that he was too kind.
In this world where the strong prey on the weak, kindness is a great sin.
"This kid has got lucky to meet our kind-hearted young master."
"Otherwise, he would definitely die in this desolate forest."
A group of guards began to discuss among themselves.
And so, Jiang Ning followed Lei Jue's team to Red Leaf City.
...
On the road, Lei Tian's team was also returning.
Coincidentally, the two teams met halfway.
"My good brother, what kind of demon beasts did you hunt?"
"Take a look. The Crimson Firebird that I hunted is the strongest existence below a Void Immortal-level demon beast."
Lei Tian said smugly.
Whoever wins in the coming-of-age ceremony will be of immeasurable help to their father's inheritance of the position of clan leader.
Lei Jue sneered, "Lei Tian, you may be disappointed."
At this moment, the Fire Demon Bull's demon core appeared in Lei Jue's hand.
"Void Immortal-level demon beast, the Fire Demon Bull!"
Lei Tian's face instantly turned extremely ugly.
His fists clenched tightly.
He wanted to humiliate Lei Jue, but he didn't expect to be humiliated instead.
At this moment, a ball of anger was building up in his heart.
Seeing Lei Tian's angry expression, Lei Jue couldn't help but laugh.
He was in a great mood.
Unable to vent his anger, Lei Tian suddenly saw Jiang Ning.
"Who is this?"
Lei Jue smiled and said, "This is my brother, Wang Ning, whom I rescued. We hit it off right away."
"Die."
Lei Tian didn't hesitate at all and slashed at Jiang Ning with his sword.
He had no way to attack Lei Jue, so now he could only kill Jiang Ning, an outsider, to vent his anger.
He would use him to strike at Lei Jue.
"Lei Tian, Brother Wang Ning is my guest. How dare you kill him!"
Lei Jue was furious and blocked Lei Tian's attack.
A trace of killing intent flashed in Jiang Ning's eyes.
This person was trying to kill him for no reason; he was courting death.
"Uncle Bai, stop all of Lei Jue's men," Lei Tian said.
"Hehe, surnamed Wu, you are no match for me."
"All of you, don't interfere, or don't blame me for being impolite."
At this moment, a burly man jumped out.
He was at the Late Stage of Earth Immortal Realm, and his pressure filled the entire area.
Uncle Wu's face was unsightly. He was only at the Initial Stage of Earth Immortal Realm and was not his opponent.
Lei Jue was also suppressed, and his face was extremely ugly.
Without Lei Jue's obstruction, Lei Tian's gaze once again turned to Jiang Ning.
"Hehe, kid, just blame yourself for seeing the embarrassing side of this young master. Accept your fate."
Lei Tian laughed and slashed at Jiang Ning with his sword.
Clang!
The long sword struck Jiang Ning's body and shattered directly.
"What?" Lei Tian stared wide-eyed, looking at Jiang Ning in disbelief.
Bang~!
At this moment, a powerful energy rebounded towards Lei Tian.
With a scream, Lei Tian fell directly.
"Ah?"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"He's dead?"
At this moment, Uncle Bai, who was at the Late Stage of Earth Immortal Realm, was furious.
"You dare to kill the young master! You're courting death!"
He was furious, condensed his powerful strength, and attacked Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning gently pressed a finger towards Uncle Bai.
Pfft~
Instantly, this Late Stage Earth Immortal Realm expert directly turned into a cloud of blood mist.
At this moment, Lei Jue, Uncle Wu, and a group of Lei family guards were all in a daze.
They couldn't believe everything they had just witnessed.
"Ah, Brother Wang Ning killed a Late Stage Earth Immortal Realm expert with a single finger?"
Lei Jue was almost scared to death.
"No wonder he dared to venture deep into the desolate forest."
"So he is a powerful body cultivator."
"A single finger to instantly kill the surnamed Bai is probably a True Immortal-level body cultivator."
"Achieving immortality through the physical body… Heavens, unbelievable."
"Such a strong person, even ordinary True Immortals are no match for him."
Uncle Wu suddenly understood.
His attitude towards Jiang Ning began to become respectful.
Jiang Ning killed Lei Tian, but instead of being angry, he was happy.
A strong person who achieved immortality through the physical body was someone even the clan leader wouldn't dare to offend.
It seemed that the position of the next clan leader would definitely go to Lei Jue's father.
"W-Wang… Senior Wang, you are so amazing."
The young Lei Jue looked at Jiang Ning with admiration.
Although he killed his cousin, he didn't hold any grudges.
After all, it was his cousin who was courting death by attacking an immortal.
Even his grandfather wouldn't possibly make an enemy of an immortal who achieved immortality through the physical body for the sake of Lei Tian.
"You're not bad either. Cultivate well, and you will definitely achieve great things in the future."
"Just call me Brother Wang. There's no need to call me senior,"
Jiang Ning smiled slightly and said encouragingly.
...
"Ahead is Red Leaf City."
Lei Jue pointed to an ancient, majestic giant city ahead and said.
"Brother Wang, come with me to the Lei mansion. I'll treat you well."
Lei Jue invited warmly.
Jiang Ning shook his head and refused.
"I have other matters to attend to, so I won't go to the Lei mansion with you."
He had just killed the direct descendant of the Lei family, so going to the Lei family now didn't seem like a good idea.
Jiang Ning came to Red Leaf City just to gather information.
Lei Jue showed a disappointed expression.
Afterward, Jiang Ning followed Lei Jue into Red Leaf City and then parted ways.
After returning home, Lei Jue told his grandfather and father about this matter.
"Achieved immortality through the physical body!"
"Lei Tian deserves to die. He almost brought a great disaster to our Lei family."
Lei Ying said angrily.
He was Lei Jue's father.
"Alright, he was your nephew after all."
"Let's just let this matter go. Instruct everyone not to offend that strong person,"
The Lei family's clan leader said.
He couldn't possibly make an enemy of someone who achieved immortality through the physical body for the sake of a grandson.
Moreover, it was Lei Tian who attacked the other party first.
...
Jiang Ning checked into the largest inn in Red Leaf City.
This place had a constant flow of people, and the news was the most well-informed.
"Have you guys heard?"
"Recently, a Celestial Immortal Realm ascender has appeared nearby."
"It's been millions of years since an ascender has entered the Immortal Realm. Why has one appeared recently?"
"The Master of Demon Tooth Island is a Half-step Immortal King Realm expert. How could he not be able to capture him?"
"I heard that this person has extremely powerful talent in the Dao of Void. Although the Master of Demon Tooth Island can defeat him, it's very difficult to catch him."
In the inn, a group of cultivators were discussing.
Demon Tooth Island was a place where countless prisoners were held.
It was the most famous prison in dozens of nearby Dao Provinces.
It held many cultivators.
"Hmm?"
"An ascender? Extremely powerful talent in the Dao of Void?"
"Could it be Uncle Ancestor Jiang Taixu?"
Jiang Ning was secretly shocked.
Finally, there was news of Jiang Taixu.
"Haha, your news is outdated, right?"
"That ascender was captured by Demon Tooth Island three days ago,"
A fat Earth Immortal said with a laugh.
