Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 129: This is How They Do Things

Yang Ning gained quite a lot from meeting the sect leader this time.

Previously, Qu Heng had some doubts about Yang Ning's abilities and gave him a book called "Soaring Serpent Hidden Dragon Technique" as a test.

This time, Qu Heng completely believed in Yang Ning's talent.

Moreover, he also became friends with the sect leader, allowing him to have constant contact with the sect leader.

As for whether this would disturb the sect leader, Yang Ning didn't think so.

He was only at the Physical Body Realm and could already cultivate twelve transformations. Spiritual Law Realm experts could cultivate even more transformations. Dealing with an outer disciple's matter was not considered a disturbance at all.

And there was something even more important.

Yang Ning took out a token, and Yuan Xi beside him looked amazed. "I didn't expect the sect leader to give this to you!"

"Is this thing very precious?" Yang Ning asked.

It's just a Spirit Weapon, not a Treasure Weapon or a Dao Weapon. At most, it has a stronger life-saving effect!

"Of course, it's precious!" Yuan Xi pointed to the pattern on the back of the token. "Do you know what this is?"

"The Tower of Eternity?" Yang Ning blinked. "And then?"

"The Tower of Eternity is our Extreme Eternal's sect-protecting Immortal Weapon. It's much more important than the sect leader or the elders. So its symbol is not something anyone can casually use!" Yuan Xi said. "So it's not an exaggeration to say that seeing the Tower of Eternity is like seeing Heng Ming himself!"

"Is that so?" Yang Ning looked surprised and looked at the token in his hand. It already felt quite heavy!

"Not only that!" Yuan Xi said. "If it weren't for Lord Heng Ming's approval, the sect leader wouldn't have given you this token. It means that you have caught Lord Heng Ming's attention!"

Saying this, Yuan Xi felt a bit emotional.

She thought her vision was unique and had found Yang Ning, a rare talent among billions of people. She didn't expect that Ning Gege's talent was so outstanding that he had caught the attention of the sect. In comparison, the help she provided seemed insignificant.

Yang Ning looked at the token in his hand. It was a good thing to catch Heng Ming's attention, but it wouldn't be a good thing if he was constantly being watched by Heng Ming!

After all, he had many secrets, and he preferred to have some personal space rather than safety.

Putting away the token, the two of them left the Extreme Eternal Palace hand in hand. Just as they stepped out of the golden light, Yang Ning heard a loud shout, "Yang Ning, take your dirty hands off my sister!"

"Huh?" Yang Ning looked up at Lin Tianheng. "Fourth Uncle, you're here too!"

"Spit!" Lin Tianheng roared, "You lowly commoner, a peasant like you, dare to call me Fourth Uncle?"

"Hmm?" Yang Ning was taken aback, as if he had realized something, and quickly said, "Senior Tianheng, although I am currently only at the Tenth Layer of physical cultivation, I am just one step away from Qi Refining. Moreover, my talent has been recognized by the sect leader. I am by no means an ordinary person as you think. I believe I am worthy of Yuan Xi!"

Yuan Xi nodded frantically beside him, not because she doubted whether Yang Ning was worthy of her, but because she felt that she might not be worthy of Yang Ning.

"What are you joking about!" Lin Tianheng frowned and spoke disdainfully, "Didn't you hear what I said? Regardless of your talent, your background has already determined that you and my sister are two completely different levels!"

"And another thing!" Lin Tianheng turned to a disciple dressed in black, "I remember this Yang Ning was just a servant boy, without any official status. How did he become an official disciple now? What went wrong in between?"

Yang Ning immediately furrowed his brows. Something seemed off about this attitude.

"It seems like she's a staunch supporter of bloodline theory!" Deep Blue also said, "Just like the Seven Sects and Five Clans during the Tang Dynasty, it has nothing to do with talent or background. It's purely about thinking highly of oneself and looking down on others!"

Yang Ning didn't answer, he just silently watched.

The disciple in black said, "Senior Tianheng, let me investigate!"

"Do we need an investigation? Just capture him!" Lin Tianheng said angrily, suddenly dodging a kick.

Yang Ning felt a violent shock in his arm, accompanied by a surge of azure mana. The hand that was holding Yuan Xi was instantly separated.

"Uh, Senior Tianheng!" the disciple in black said, "Yang Ning did indeed come from a servant background, but he changed to become a disciple of Earth Heaven Gate midway and received their recommendation to become an official disciple. This operation is reasonable and in accordance with the rules, there is nothing inappropriate about it!"

"Is that so?" Lin Tianheng frowned, "How were these rules set in the first place? Such a big loophole?"

The disciple in black grinned but didn't answer.

Which cultivator isn't shrewd? Since there is a loophole, it means it was intentional.

This matter involves the interests of countless sects and families, and even Lin Tianheng cannot change it.

It only made him more angry.

"Even if you have a good background, you are still a nobody. I don't know what despicable tricks you used to deceive my sister, but let me tell you, it's impossible between you two!"

"Fourth brother!" Yuan Xi couldn't help it anymore and spoke loudly, also clarifying to the people around her, "Ning gege has never deceived me, and it wasn't him pursuing me, it was me pursuing him!"

"I fell in love with him when I was young, and we only got together after both of us entered Extreme Eternal. There was nothing inappropriate in between!"

"You scoundrel!" Lin Tianheng's face grew even angrier, "How dare you say that, a young girl yearning for a young man! That's why you wanted to postpone the wedding, because you had someone else in your heart!"

"No, I..." Yuan Xi's face turned pale, and she didn't know how to counterattack!

According to the current etiquette, she was indeed committing a great offense by thinking of someone else while having a fiancé.

But I have never even met this Wang Jue, I only found out that I was betrothed to him when I was 17. By that time, I had already liked Ning gege for seven years!!

"What else do you have to say? Come here, from now on, stay on Hongye Peak and don't come out. I will arrange your wedding with Wang Jue!" Lin Tianheng angrily said, "As for you, Yang Ning, I advise you to cripple your cultivation and leave Extreme Eternal. I can spare your life!"

Yang Ning chuckled, "Cripple my cultivation and leave Extreme Eternal? What life would I have then? Lin Tianheng, aren't you being too domineering? Your sister likes someone, and instead of sincerely blessing them, you want to break them apart. Where in the world does a brother like you exist?"

Until now, Yang Ning still feels that there is a possibility of salvaging the situation.

"Do you like her?" Lin Tianheng sneered, "She's young, what does she know about liking someone! Oh, I see, it's because of you. She grew up reading those romantic books you wrote, so she has unrealistic fantasies!"

A young man arrived on the wind and stood beside Lin Tianheng. After listening to Lin Tianheng's words, he immediately said, "Brother Lin, I believe that having feelings between husband and wife is better than not having any. I, Wang Jue, can also like Yuan Xi!"

"So you're Wang Jue!" This person had narrow eyes, flat lips, and a sharp chin.

Among cultivators, there are few ugly men and women. This person actually looked quite handsome, but appearance reflects character, and his own personality was destined to manifest on the surface.

Wang Jue was a typical ungrateful and mean-looking person. His manners and behavior towards Lin Tianheng were casual, and his conversation was full of frivolity.

Such a person is not a suitable match!

The two of them echoed each other, but they had already determined the nature of this incident. My sister used to be so well-behaved, but now she has turned bad. Obviously, it's all because of you teaching her!

"Since it's your fault, don't even think about leaving. Now kneel down and take your own life. I can spare the lives of your parents. Otherwise, not only will you die, but your parents, your relatives, and even the Yue Kingdom behind you will be in danger of being overthrown!"

Yang Ning took a deep breath and finally understood.

The conflict between him and Lin Tianheng is irreconcilable.

The enmity of obstructing the path is greater than the sky. Yang Ning knew this, so he desperately hid.

Lin Tianheng also knew this, so he secretly had Wang Yao and Wang Yi, the two sisters, take action. It was just that the matter of Yang Ning morally kidnapping all the artifact refining masters of the Extreme Eternal Sect was temporarily put aside.

However, Yang Ning showed outstanding cultivation talent again!

Originally, this could have been brushed off with the Nine Orifices Enlightenment Pill, but Yang Ning was summoned by the Sect Master, and Heng Ming also praised him!

Now, Yang Ning's talent has been fully recognized. Since he has the strength for revenge, the obstructing path enmity that was suppressed naturally resurfaced.

This is the first hatred.

The second hatred is Lin Tianheng's disdain for Yang Ning's identity.

Yang Ning's parents were both farmers. Although they later became the Minister of Works through their own efforts and joined the Extreme Eternal Sect as an outer disciple, Lin Tianheng couldn't see those things. He only saw that Yang Ning's parents were farmers!

This is not Huaxia, where nobles and officials are respected.

The Lin family has produced an Immortal Venerable, and the noble bloodline of the Lin family cannot be married to a farmer's son.

Is it over here?

Not yet!

The third hatred:

The Lin family and the Wang family have been friendly for generations, which is why a marriage alliance was possible. But now, the marriage partner has fallen in love with someone else and ran away!

How would the Wang family think? They would only feel that this is an insult from the Lin family!

How would Wang Jue think? My fiancée fell in love with another man. This is such a humiliation. How can I face people in the future?

In order to appease the emotions of the Wang family and restore the friendship, Yang Ning must die, and the marriage must take place!

Is it over here?

Not yet!

Yang Ning discovered the fourth major hatred between the two sides: the enmity of interests!

The Lin family has just established their own automobile company called South Forest Motors.

From the company name, to the organizational structure, to the construction of the factory, to the development plan, it can't be said that it is exactly the same as Heavenly Horse Company, but at least it is identical.

With Deep Blue's technology, management, and cost control capabilities, Yang Ning can ruin the Lin family in a business war!

But do the second generation of immortals want to play a business war with you?

They don't need to!

They can just suppress Yang Ning, the creator!

Yang Ning sighed. Another thought began to change within him.

In the past, when reading xianxia novels, the protagonist was either killing or on the path of killing.

At that time, he couldn't understand why they had to kill. Couldn't they negotiate? Couldn't they cooperate and win together?

It wasn't until he fell into the Immortal Cultivation World himself that he realized, cooperate and win together? Are you worthy?

Negotiate? Are you worthy?

What's your background, what's mine?

Sitting in the same classroom with you is an insult to me!

The malice in Lin Tianheng's eyes, his undisguised contempt, everything was proving to Yang Ning that he would never let him go.

He has overwhelming power!

He is unscrupulous!

This is how they do things!
