Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 651 - 290: Only His Legend Will Remain (4)
Previously on Cultivating with Top Enlightenment...
Now, Ning Qi along with his companions sensed a wave of relief, and they likewise curbed their auras, viewing one another as peers.
"Brother Niu, your Niu Mo Upper Sect is really thriving. I reckon plenty of demon cultivators across the two domains and even in adjacent regions have enlisted in your Niu Mo Upper Sect."
Niu Dingtian burst into a booming laugh.
"In the end, the Human Race wields immense power. We Demon Race folks need to band together and establish our own sects too."
The pair quickly moved past this matter and turned their discussion to the ongoing circumstances.
Niu Dingtian declared:
"We've completely enraged the Feather Transformation Upper Sect; there's no way to retreat from this conflict now."
Ning Qi inquired, "What about the losses in your two sects?"
Niu Dingtian licked his lips with a grin:
"They managed to slay one of our Great Powers, but we took down Fang Xian's young son in return, so we've scored some points as well."
He gestured toward Niu Man and the other demons, "With these promising young ones still breathing, the Niu Mo Upper Sect's core remains solid. Yet, with the Spirit Realm conflict looming, we have to strike fast and hard!"
Ning Qi gave a nod, "You're absolutely right."
As Niu Dingtian guided Ning Qi and the rest through the scenic views of the Niu Mo Upper Sect, he continued:
"Younger Brother Ning, now that you've arrived, we're in the Niu Mo Upper Sect ready to throw everything we've got, hit the Feather Transformation Upper Sect right in its vital spot, and press on until we triumph."
Ning Qi replied, "The Infinite Sword Sect shares the exact stance of the Niu Mo Upper Sect; we're not here merely to put on a display."
The man and the demon locked eyes, each spotting a fierce battle intent burning in the other's gaze.
"So, Younger Brother Ning, how about we take a day to recuperate and then march on the Feather Transformation Upper Sect side by side?"
Ning Qi nodded, "Sounds good."
For cultivators of their caliber, the journey wouldn't leave them worn out.
However, to launch a real assault on the Feather Transformation Upper Sect, the Niu Mo Upper Sect first had to conduct more reconnaissance to pick the perfect moment, a step that held utmost importance.
Therefore, this one day of rest proved essential.
…
Three days passed.
In search of the right chance to clash, Ning Qi and his group lingered at the Niu Mo Upper Sect for an extra two days.
Over those days, the Infinite Sword Sect folks engaged in light spars with the Niu Mo Upper Sect demons, organizing forces and practicing the assault tactics.
Without question, the Infinite Sword Sect members outshone the bunch of demons from the Niu Mo Upper Sect, despite the Demon Race's advantage in bodily strength.
The demons were swiftly persuaded, no surprise that the Sword Ancestor esteemed the Infinite Sword Sect so highly.
This boosted their assurance for the upcoming fight even further.
Experts from both sects hid their presence and advanced stealthily toward the Feather Transformation Upper Sect.
Ning Qi stated, "Brother Niu, let me handle the Sect Protection Array of the Feather Transformation Upper Sect. I've got some knowledge in the Array Path."
At these words, Niu Dingtian felt a surge of delight.
He knew of Ning Qi's past deed of shattering the Blood Demon Upper Sect's Sect Protection Array with just one sword stroke, and from Niu Man, he'd learned how Ning Qi aided in unlocking the Hundred Demons Palace and securing Spirit Blood within the Profound Truth Secret Realm.
That famed skill in the Array Path left Wu Dao looking dim beside Ning Qi.
Thus, for the Niu Mo Upper Sect to truly assault the Feather Transformation Upper Sect, they required Ning Qi's involvement.
Lacking the Sect Protection Array, the Feather Transformation Upper Sect's danger would drop sharply, thrilling all the demons.
After all, the Demon Race typically relied on their physical might to smash through arrays, since they lacked prowess in the array path.
Soon enough, they arrived at the midpoint.
Beneath lay a vast chasm wrapped in fog, hiding whatever lurked inside.
All at once, Ning Qi picked up on a warning sign.
As the key figure in the Concealment Array, he detected the irregularity first.
"Watch out, there's something odd down there!"
His alert prompted the humans and demons to sync up, swiftly shifting their formation into a sturdy Black Tortoise Array.
Back at the Niu Mo Upper Sect, Ning Qi had already schooled the demons on potential surprises in this fight.
Thus, when trouble struck, the folks from both sects responded with discipline at Ning Qi's order.
In the shadowy canyon below, fog shaped into twisting dragons.
It seemed the emptiness tore open, unleashing a small realm from which multiple mighty beings soared forth.
The moment these beings emerged, they positioned themselves across the void, weaving seals together and promptly exposing Ning Qi and his allies from the Concealment Array.
Ning Qi eyed the arrivals; six Integration Realm experts had shown up here!
Two hailed from the Feather Transformation Upper Sect's survivors, but the remaining four, based on their garb, came from beyond the Northern and Southern Domains.
Four wore blue robes, including two regular elites and two elite elites.
The Sword Ancestor furrowed his brow slightly and whispered to Ning Qi, "These guests mean trouble; they must be from the Cyan Profound Sect in the nearby Fuyao Realm."
The three Integration Realm experts of the Niu Mo Upper Sect also recoiled in shock.
The unfolding events felt wrong.
The Feather Transformation Upper Sect had foreseen their strategy and even summoned powerful allies from the Fuyao Realm.
