Chapter 55
Chapter 55
Qingning in the void was dumbfounded!
The old man, with his own strength, had not only killed Ma Wu at the entrance of the Jiuyan Sect, but his power also overwhelmed all the Supreme Elders of the Jiuyan Sect, preventing them from even raising their heads!
She had always known that the Jiang family was strong, but she had never imagined they were this powerful!
As the old man walked further and further away, she started to panic and hurriedly followed him.
But just as she was about to step out of the Jiuyan Sect, she was bounced back by an invisible force.
It seemed as if there was an invincible wall in front of her that she couldn’t pass through!
“Let me through!” she cried, desperately pounding on the membrane wall, nearly going mad.
She thought she could accompany Jiang Chen on his journey, but she never expected that she couldn’t even leave the Jiuyan Sect!
Watching Jiang Chen leave while she was unable to do anything was worse than killing her!
One hit.Two hits.
Three hits.
With her delicate body, she kept slamming into the invisible membrane wall.
Each collision sent her flying several zhang back, but she would immediately jump up and continue her efforts, regardless of the injuries she sustained.
After hundreds of collisions, when her figure was on the verge of collapsing, she finally broke through the membrane wall and fell to the ground ahead of her.
Qingning took a deep breath, looked around, and then realized she could no longer see the old man or Jiang Chen.
“Eldest Senior Brother must have returned to the Upper Domain,” Qingning muttered to herself.
She instinctively wanted to set off but had no idea how to get to the Upper Domain!
“It’s okay, the scene will change again, and maybe next time I’ll see Eldest Senior Brother again,” she consoled herself.
But after waiting for several hours, she was still at the same spot!
The world seemed to have suddenly returned to normal, and she could clearly feel the slow passage of time.
“Is this a punishment for me?”
Qingning said with a wry smile.
Her wish was simple.
She just wanted Jiang Chen to care about her and to always be by his side!
But even such a simple wish was not granted by the heavens.
“I can wait, I’ll wait forever,” Qingning whispered again.
Although she didn’t know the way to the Upper Domain, she knew the direction where it was located.
She decided to wait at the end of that direction! No matter how long it took, she had to wait for Jiang Chen to come back!
Even if Jiang Chen never returned, she would keep waiting!
With her mind made up, Qingning walked away.
After taking a few steps, she looked back at the Jiuyan Sect behind her.
It wasn’t that she was reluctant to leave, but she felt that there seemed to be someone sighing in her ear at the moment she broke through this membrane wall.
……
Several years passed in the blink of an eye.
There was a bottomless, endless chasm in the northernmost part of the Central Domain.
Within the chasm, the cold wind was like a knife, seemingly able to slice through souls, and the occasional black mist that spewed from below was like a bloodthirsty monster capable of devouring cultivators below the fourth realm, leaving nothing but bones.
Beside the chasm, a young girl had been standing for several years.
She was Qingning, who had come in search of Jiang Chen.
Over the years, Qingning had tried countless times to float across the chasm with her ethereal body.
But without exception, she was always blown back by the cold wind within the chasm.
Qingning in the void didn’t understand.
Her voice and appearance were invisible and inaudible to others.
So why could the cold wind in the chasm blow her back as if her ethereal body was solid?
Unable to figure it out, she gave up.
Since she couldn’t cross, the only thing she could do was wait!
Fortunately, cultivators from the Upper Domain would pass by occasionally, and through their conversations, Qingning also learned some news about Jiang Chen.
Not long ago, the Jiang Family seemed to have been annihilated…
Qingning couldn’t imagine what had happened that could cause such a powerful family to be wiped out overnight.
She worried about Jiang Chen’s safety but was powerless to help.
Just as Qingning decided to try crossing the chasm again, even if it meant death, to find Jiang Chen in the Upper Domain…
A man stood atop an ancient, grand bell, slowly drifting over from the other side of the chasm.
Despite his unkempt appearance, his features remained handsome.
His face was expressionless, yet his dark eyes still sparkled with light.
“Eldest Senior Brother…” Qingning called out with a choked voice.
She had finally waited until this moment.
As Jiang Chen leaped down from the bell, she hurriedly wiped away her tears and quickly followed him.
Standing behind Jiang Chen, she was half a step behind him.
He walked ahead with his head held high, and she followed closely, step by step.
No one disturbed them. This was exactly what Qingning had been longing for.
“Haha, Eldest Senior Brother, I stepped on your shadow! You lose!” Qingning suddenly laughed as they walked.
Time seemed to fly by for Qingning.
In this world, she was alone.
No one could hear her words, and no one could see her form. Yet, she felt blessed.
A decade had passed, and she had accompanied Jiang Chen through almost the entire Central Domain.
They had ventured deep into the Hengduan Mountain Range, where Jiang Chen found a pure white fox with three tails.
Qingning was sure the fox was female!
Otherwise, why would it cling to Jiang Chen every day, even snuggling into his arms when sleeping?
She also thought the fox was ungrateful.
Jiang Chen treated it so well, but it never appeared again after the fox advanced to a Demon King.
They had been to the Ghost Ridge Soul Abyss.
There, Jiang Chen encountered a demoness from the Ghost Controlling Sect, seemingly the one who had dug out Lin Mubai’s Innate Dao Bone.
They had just met when Jiang Chen fiercely attacked, intending to kill the demoness on the spot.
However, the demoness seemed to have a significant background, possessing a protector from the upper four realms.
Undoubtedly, although Jiang Chen had regained his cultivation, he was no match for a cultivator from the upper four realms and had to flee deep into the Ghost Ridge Soul Abyss to hide.
Unexpectedly, due to various ‘fortuitous coincidences’, he was chased by a female ghost!
Qingning believed that the female ghost must have been a pervert, for despite her unfathomable cultivation, she chased Jiang Chen everywhere while laughing flirtatiously.
“She must be coveting Eldest Senior Brother’s good looks!”
Qingning was certain.
Having barely escaped from the Ghost Ridge Soul Abyss, Jiang Chen once again faced pursuit from the Ghost Controlling Sect.
After escaping death, he infiltrated the Ancient Pill Tower.
It was clear that Jiang Chen wanted revenge. After destroying the Ancient Pill Tower’s treasure cauldron, he quietly slipped away.
Remembering the female tower master of the Ancient Pill Tower stamping her feet in rage, Qingning also felt extremely thrilled.
Then Jiang Chen met a woman.
A woman of stunning beauty, not inferior to the likes of Xiao Hongyi.
This woman made Qingning feel extremely threatened.
Unlike others who despised and hated Jiang Chen, she launched into an almost pathological, frantic pursuit of him!
She was a true disciple of the Myriad Dao Demon Sect.
For Jiang Chen, she killed her own master.
For Jiang Chen, she infiltrated the Jiuyan Sect alone and intending to kill everyone from the Ninth Peak. When her actions were exposed, she did not forget to slap Lin Feng several times before fleeing!
For Jiang Chen, she kidnapped the Sword Maiden from the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion, wanting to make her Jiang Chen’s concubine.
For Jiang Chen, she had almost fallen into madness…
All these things nearly ‘moved’ Qingning to tears.
But Jiang Chen was very troubled.
Because of the witch’s actions, his bad reputation spread once again in the Central Domain, and after losing the backing of the Jiang family, what awaited him was endless pursuit.
The pursuit by various forces lasted for years.
By the time he came to his senses, Jiang Chen had become an upper four realm cultivator, surrounded by five Way of the Sword Grandmasters from the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion.
That battle made Qingning’s blood boil, and she couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Eldest Senior Brother is so cool!”
In the final outcome, Jiang Chen faced five opponents alone and directly killed several of them!
He was hailed as having the stature of a ‘Sword Emperor’!
Qingning believed this should have been Jiang Chen’s shining moment.
But she soon realized…
It was just the beginning of another nightmare.
“Jiang Chen! Your evil deeds are too numerous, and you will receive your retribution today!” Lin Feng arrived with a group of Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters.
In the crowd ahead, Qingning saw herself again.
