Chu Yang immediately felt weak all over: “Oh my God, it turns out to be you...” He plopped down onto the ground, drenched in sweat.
Just now, he was genuinely frightened. His heart nearly jumped out of his throat.
This person turned out to be an acquaintance!
An old acquaintance he hadn't seen in a long time!
Ning Tianya!
Chu Yang completely relaxed.
I am safe now... finally safe.
“What are you doing here?” Ning Tianya frowned and looked at Chu Yang sideways: “What brings you here?”
Chu Yang snorted and hurriedly began to deal with his injuries: “I haven't asked you yet, why are you here?”
Facing Ning Tianya was undoubtedly much easier than facing Bu Liqing.
In Chu Yang's eyes, Bu Liqing was not very easy to talk to, but Ning Tianya was different. Moreover, from what Mo Qingwu had said, Ning Tianya was also the one who doted on his disciples the most.
“I’m here for a reason! I have my own reasons to come!” Ning Tianya was quite uncomfortable, this kid was never very respectful to him every time they met. It was too casual... Last time in the Extreme North Wilderness, this guy had played him for a fool.
“I’m here for a reason too, I have my own reasons to come!” Chu Yang rolled his eyes. After tending to his injuries, he raised his head.
Ning Tianya angrily said, “Nonsense! If it weren’t for you guys, how would I end up here…”
Chu Yang was curious: “Because of us?”
Ning Tianya sighed and said, “Exactly because of you guys!”
Before the battle of the slaughter path, Ning Tianya had been ambushed by the Law Sovereign and Wuzhuo City, suffering heavy injuries. Unable to recover in a short time, he could only find a place to hide secretly.
However, during the Nine Calamity heist, that vast fortune also benefited Ning Tianya. With the power of fortune, Ning Tianya survived the initial crisis and his injuries began to improve. The destructive power of sword qi gradually disappeared from his body.
Only then did he start to truly recover.
As the number one expert in the world, Ning Tianya naturally understood where would be most beneficial for his injuries, thus he hurried to Pagoda Mountain — though he didn’t know why, he was certain it was related to the nine calamity sword master!
Since the nine calamity sword master had accomplished this task, in Ning Tianya's heart, the crisis over there was naturally resolved.
So he was at ease in healing.
After all, his disciple was being taken care of by Bu Liqing, which made Ning Tianya feel very reassured.
Until several months later, when Ning Tianya, having recovered most of his injuries, went out of Pagoda Mountain once. It was then he inadvertently heard about the slaughter path, which startled him on the spot.
But the true outcome and process of the slaughter path battle, no one knew.
Ning Tianya had inquired extensively and only learned that the second ancestors of the Eight Great Families and hundreds of supreme masters had all died tragically, while no one knew about the situation on Chu Yang's side.
After some time passed, he heard that Fengyue was still alive.
However, there was no news of Bu Liqing since then.
Ning Tianya was anxious, almost causing his injuries to relapse. He could only calm down and focus on recovering; now, just a few days after his recovery, he was preparing to go out when Chu Yang fortuitously bumped into him here.
Hearing about Ning Tianya's experiences, Chu Yang then realized that Ning Tianya had also participated in the battle of the slaughter path on that day, outside Heaven's Secret City!
“How is your injury now?” Chu Yang asked.
“It's fine now of course.” Ning Tianya said somewhat proudly: “If we talk about true cultivation levels, Wuzhuo City is about on par with me; moreover, at our level, as long as the poison isn’t planted in my internal organs by him personally, it won't do much harm to me. It was only that sword qi strike that caught me off guard...”
“Next time I see Wuzhuo City, I’ll have to battle again!” Ning Tianya chuckled: “I can’t let this bastard take advantage of me.”
