Chapter 283   Origin Technique

A few days later.

In a remote mountain sect in Zuiyue Canton.

Ding Bo was sitting cross-legged in a sect’s sealed room.

After a long time, Ding Bo opened his eyes.

He looked a little annoyed. Ever since the end of the sect conference, Ding Bo had been irritated.

When he fought against Xin Andao, he had used his trump card, preparing to take the opportunity to seriously injure or even kill Xin Andao. After that, he planned to join forces with other sects to obtain the Source Sect’s green-patterned winter iron ore mine.

But at the critical moment, Xin Andao was saved.

And the person who saved him was a first-class guest of the Harmony King Mansion.

This made Ding Bo feel extremely aggrieved.

Not only did he not meet his goals, but he was also embarrassed in public.

What was more infuriating was that because of the person’s special status, Canton Governor Ji was very polite to him, so he didn’t dare to offend him.

Over the past few days, Ding Bo wanted to concentrate on his cultivation and get rid of this annoying feeling.

But after trying multiple times, he couldn’t get into the mood.

‘Cousin should return to Zuiyue Canton soon. When he comes back, maybe he can help me regain some face.’

Ding Bo thought to himself.

Ding Bo’s cousin Gu Songying was an external deacon of the Red Sea Demon Sect, a top sect in State Wansheng.

Although he was not a big shot in the Red Sea Demon Sect, he was respected by many people outside.

It was precisely with Gu Songying’s help and resources that Ding Bo was able to establish his own sect in his hometown, Zuiyue Canton, as an ordinary dao realm master.

“Sect Master! Guest Elder Gu is back.”

Ding Bo was thinking deeply when a disciple suddenly activated the mechanism outside the sealed room and sent a message to Ding Bo. ‘Such coincidence?’

Ding Bo was overjoyed. ‘Cousin is back!’

In order to support Ding Bo, Gu Songying became a guest elder in his sect. Ding Bo immediately left the sealed room.

Soon, he saw his cousin, Gu Songying.

Gu Songying was tall and skinny. He had a serious expression on his face.

He was dressed in black, with the pattern of the Red Sea Demon Sect on his chest.

“Cousin!”

Ding Bo quickly stepped forward.

He was very respectful to Gu Songying.

“I heard you lost face a few days ago?”

Ding Bo was still thinking about what to say when Gu Songying took the initiative to open up the conversation.

Ding Bo was a little embarrassed.

Afterwards, he explained the situation to Gu Songying.

“You used the methods of the Red Sea Demon Sect and were still easily subdued. That person’s strength is either at the peak of the core cleansing realm, or a core transformation realm master like me.”

Gu Songying made a guess about Xu Ning’s strength.

“Brother, that person insulted me too much, can you teach him a lesson?”

Now that his cousin was standing in front of him, Ding Bo was bold. He wanted Gu Songying to help him.

“Your martial arts cultivation is not high enough, so you want me to help you get back your pride. That sounds ridiculous.”

Gu Songying reprimanded Ding Bo.

Ding Bo lowered his head, not daring to refute. “However, you are still my cousin.”

Gu Songying changed the topic. “I came back this time to help you build a higher prestige in the Zuiyue Canton and expand the size of your sect. I want to make your sect a vassal sect of the Red Sea Demon Sect.”

“Become a vassal sect of the Red Sea Demon Sect?”

Ding Bo’s eyes lit up when he heard that.

Once they became a vassal sect of the Red Sea Demon Sect, there would be many benefits.

Being able to rely on the Red Sea Demon Sect was like obtaining a sect token, allowing them to be protected by a greater faction.

Moreover, he could also use the channels of the Red Sea Demon Sect to accelerate the construction of the sect.

In a few decades, his sect would become the largest sect in Zuiyue Canton.

“However, I didn’t expect to hear about your disgrace as soon as I arrived in Zuiyue Canton. This made my future plans seem a little passive.”

Gu Songying glanced at Ding Bo coldly.

“But now that things have come to this, if I want to continue with my plans, I have to recover my face from the guest of the Harmony King Mansion and that small sect first.”

Gu Songying said, “Come with me to that Source Sect.”

“When do we leave?” Ding Bo seemed a little excited. Since Gu Songying was willing to solve the problem, the other party could only give in. “Now.”

Afterwards, Gu Songying and Ding Bo left.

In the past few days after arriving at the Source Sect, besides talking to Xin Andao, Teng Yunkong, and others about the past, Xu Ning was helping the Source Sect refine some precious medicinal pills and teaching the Source Sect disciples.

On this day, as soon as Xu Ning finished refining a furnace full of pills, he felt the aura of a powerhouse approaching outside the Source Sect.

‘Dao realm sixth stage, core transformation realm!’

Xu Ning instantly noticed the visitor’s aura.

His figure flashed and appeared outside the Source Sect.

At this moment, Gu Songying had arrived with Ding Bo.

“Ding Bo?”

Xu Ning recognized Ding Bo first, then he looked at Gu Songying.

“That pattern mark…”

Xu Ning noticed that there was a pattern mark on Gu Songying’s black shirt.

Xu Ning found the pattern mark familiar.

‘That is…’

Suddenly, Xu Ning reacted.

He had seen that symbol in the Red Sea Demon Lord’s inheritance mystic realm.

‘This person is from the Red Sea Demon Sect?’

Xu Ning’s heart skipped a beat.

Xu Ning suddenly remembered that the familiar aura he felt from Ding Bo a few days ago was similar to the aura of the black bird in the Red Sea Demon Lord’s inheritance.

‘So Ding Bo is related to the Red Sea Demon Sect…’

Xu Ning finally understood.

Xu Ning realized that these two must be here to cause trouble after seeing their unpleasant attitude.

“You are the guest of the Harmony King Mansion?”

Gu Songying examined Xu Ning.

When Xu Ning first appeared, Gu Songying had already inferred Xu Ning’s identity.

“That is right, who are you?”

Xu Ning asked.

“Deacon Gu Songying of the Red Sea Demon Sect.”

Gu Songying responded. ‘Sure enough, they are from the Red Sea Demon Sect…’

Xu Ning was cautious.

The Red Sea Demon Sect might be the strongest faction in State Wansheng besides the Duan imperial family.

“What?”

Xin Andao and the others also arrived.

Gu Songying and Ding Bo did not hide their aura so Xin Andao and the others had also noticed that a master was coming from the outside.

Thus, they rushed over.

They were just shocked when they heard Gu Songying’s self-introduction.

The Red Sea Demon Sect was a giant monster in their eyes.

‘Ding Bo actually has the backing of the Red Sea Demon Sect…’

Xin Andao finally knew about this.

Xin Andao initially didn’t know much about Ding Bo.

“I just returned to Zuiyue Canton today, and I heard that a master from the king mansion is here in Source Sect, so I rushed over.”

Gu Songying said, “It is rare for a foreign master to come to Zuiyue Canton, so I want to spar with you and exchange pointers.”

It seemed that because of his identity as a guest of the Harmony King Mansion, Gu Songying spoke to him in a gentle tone.

But his words were full of hostility.

Gu Songying wanted to win back Ding Bo’s reputation by using a spar as an excuse.

Only in this way, when he helped Ding Bo expand the size of the sect and operate it to become a vassal sect of the Red Sea Demon Sect in the future, would it be easier.

Xu Ning naturally noticed Gu Songying’s intentions.

The other party was obviously here to cause trouble so there was no way to avoid this.

“I have long heard of the prestige of the Red Sea Demon Sect. If I can spar with you today, it will be quite good.”

Xu Ning smiled faintly and responded.

He also knew that Gu Songying was here to find him.

From the start to the end, Gu Songying never once looked at Xin Andao.

Xin Andao’s strength was not worthy of Gu Songying’s attention.

“Ding Bo, get out of the way.”

Gu Songying waved his hand.

“Yes, Cousin.”

Ding Bo immediately responded and stepped aside.

During this process, Ding Bo glanced at Xin Andao and gave him a provocative look.

‘So this deacon of the Red Sea Demon Sect is Ding Bo’s cousin…’

Xin Andao’s heart tightened.

Seeing Xu Ning being targeted by a deacon of the Red Sea Demon Sect because of him, Xin Andao felt a little guilty.

“Sect Master Xin, don’t worry.”

Seemingly sensing Xin Andao’s unease, He Mingye said, “My junior brother has a strong foundation, so he won’t be in any danger against Gu Songying. Moreover, my junior brother is from the Harmony King Mansion, so he won’t dare to kill him. He is just coming here just to take revenge.”

He Mingye saw everything clearly from the sidelines.

“Mmm…”

Hearing this, Xin Andao and the others could only temporarily pull away.

“Let’s stop as we see fit.”

Gu Songying said.

Just like He Mingye said, Gu Songying wanted to establish prestige for Ding Bo, but he did not want to hurt Xu Ning.

Otherwise, he would have to face a lot of pressure from the Harmony King Mansion.

“This is the first time I have fought a core transformation realm master…’

After pulling away, Xu Ning looked forward to this spar.

This was because a core transformation realm master could practice techniques of origin.

Techniques of origin were also called origin techniques. They could only be created by a peak dao realm ninth stage master after touching upon the origin.

Only after reaching the core transformation realm could one comprehend and learn it.

Duan Chaofeng had promised Xu Ning that once Xu Ning advanced to the core transformation realm, he could choose any of the origin techniques in the mansion to learn.

“Please.”

Xu Ning gestured to Gu Songying. Gu Songying nodded slightly, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

Gu Songying had already planned to use his full strength to defeat Xu Ning.

If this news spread, the entire Zuiyue Canton would understand his strength.

By then, Ding Bo could also use his reputation to strengthen his sect.

Whoosh!

A black fog appeared in front of Gu Songying, then the black fog dispersed and condensed into blade shadows.

The black fog blade shadows made a buzzing sound.

“Wind Demon Thousand Blades!”

Gu Songying shouted and the black fog blade shadows in front of him slashed towards Xu Ning
