It wasn't until they felt the tremors of the heavenly forces that they realized it was real.
In such a short time, before news of the first death had even spread, another Land Immortal had fallen!
What on earth was happening?
The Land Immortals gazed toward the Quanzhen Sect in shock. They could roughly discern the direction, but how could the Quanzhen Sect, whose strongest member was only a top-tier Heaven-Man, possibly kill two Land Immortals?
Could it be that two Land Immortals had fought, and after barely killing one, the victor had succumbed to their injuries?
Curiosity and anxiety filled their hearts, and some even set out to investigate.
In an instant, the top experts of the Song Dynasty were on the move!
But the one responsible for all this, Ning Changge, remained calm. His gaze fell on the three fiery dragons, and he felt a twinge of regret.
"Unfortunately, I couldn't complete the Samadhi True Fire. It seems I'll have to wait until I reach the Foundation Establishment stage to merge the three true fires. Only then will it become a true divine power."
He wasn't too disappointed, though.
With a wave of his hand, the flames dissipated.
He then looked at the Golden Wheel's skeleton. Faint golden light flickered around it, and the low rumble of dragons and elephants could be heard. He waved his hand again, and the skeleton was stored in his Storage Ring. Since he had promised to bury the Golden Wheel in the Heavenly Tomb, he would honor that promise.
A relic fell into Ning Changge's hand. Due to the merging process, it was somewhat unstable, but it was still a valuable spiritual item.
Ning Changge smiled and put it away.
Finally, he turned to Wang Chongyang and said apologetically, "Because of me, the Quanzhen Sect was affected. I hope you won't hold it against me."
Strictly speaking, this was indeed due to his presence. If he hadn't been here, the two Land Immortals wouldn't have come to the Quanzhen Sect.
Wang Chongyang quickly waved his hands. "Changge, what are you saying? The entire Quanzhen Sect regrets only that we were powerless to help and could only watch as you faced the enemy alone."
He had only just begun to recover from the shock and now felt a bit ashamed.
In the face of the overwhelming power of the Land Immortals, even though he had reached the seventh level of the Heaven-Man realm, it had been useless.
Ning Changge merely smiled. He didn't blame the Quanzhen Sect.
His mood hadn't been affected by the attacks from Xiang Yutian and the Golden Wheel. In fact, he was in a good mood, having created the Five Elements Aspect and the True Fire of Essence. The gains had been substantial.
"Now that this matter is settled, it's time for me to take my leave."
As soon as Ning Changge spoke, the Quanzhen disciples became anxious.
Wang Chongyang sighed, "I knew this day would come, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. Since that's the case, I can only wish you a smooth journey, Changge."
"My master's centenary celebration is coming up soon. I hope you'll honor us with your presence," Ning Changge said with a smile.
Wang Chongyang nodded repeatedly. "Of course, the Quanzhen Sect will definitely attend Zhang Zhenren's celebration!"
Ning Changge smiled. "In that case, I'll head to Peach Blossom Island to invite Senior Huang. I'll take my leave now. If anyone comes to inquire about today's events, feel free to tell them the truth."
He knew that the commotion today would attract attention, so he mentioned it in advance.
He wasn't concerned about it.
Wang Chongyang simply nodded.
The crowd watched Ning Changge with reluctance.
But Ning Changge simply smiled, his white Daoist robe fluttering like a cloud as he departed gracefully. With a wave of his hand, he had suppressed two Land Immortals, and now, with a flick of his sleeve, he left without a care. How carefree and elegant!
The crowd couldn't help but shout:
"We respectfully send off the Little Immortal!"
As they watched the figure in white disappear into the distance, everyone's eyes were filled with admiration and reverence. To suppress two Land Immortals with a wave of his hand and then leave so gracefully, without stirring the slightest ripple—such composure was truly like that of a transcendent immortal, leaving all in awe.
"The Little Immortal is truly not like a mortal."
"I once saw the Little Immortal's spiritual sword in action at Shaolin, suppressing the Eighteen Arhats Formation. But that was just the tip of the iceberg."
"His comprehension is heaven-defying, and his combat power is unparalleled. It's hard to believe that such a monstrous genius exists in the Nine Provinces!"
"Only by witnessing it firsthand can one truly understand the terror and power of the Little Immortal. The rumors don't even begin to capture it."
"It's a shame… If only the Little Immortal were part of our Quanzhen Sect."
Many Quanzhen disciples couldn't help but recall the story of how their master had encountered the Little Immortal at the foot of Mount Hua. They couldn't help but wonder—what if their master had brought the Little Immortal back? What would things be like now?
But Wang Chongyang only sighed and shook his head.
He had once thought the same.
But upon further reflection, he realized that neither he nor the Quanzhen Sect had the foundation to support Ning Changge's growth to where he was today.
It had been the right choice for Ning Changge to follow Zhang Sanfeng.
"I have a feeling… Changge will lead an entire era," Wang Chongyang couldn't help but marvel.
